Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Twilight City is the throat of the Magic City, the capital of the Offensive Council. It can be said that as long as it is occupied, soldiers can be sent to attack the capital of the Offensive Council without restraint.

"Huh..." Roland exhaled, turning into white mist in the cold weather and then slowly dissipating, his eyes became serious.

He could take advantage of the armies of other countries by relying on the soldiers' personal strength and high physical fitness, but facing the elves, this was much closer.It's not that the elves' soldiers are better than the king's army, but they can't survive long enough and learn enough.

If it weren't for the poor fertility of elves, I'm afraid the masters of the Sarid continent would be elves, not humans.

"May I ask if this is a general from the Elf clan?" Roland slowly rode Toret to a short distance outside Twilight City and asked loudly toward the top of the city wall.Behind him were Melina and Ikosela. Rodel's knights held their shields tightly in their hands for fear that there would be cold arrows from the elven marksmen above the city wall.Melina is on guard against the master assassin of the elves who is good at stealth.

According to Melina's understanding, the elves in this world are not as beautiful as the books say.Although the elves love peace and nature, that is for their own compatriots, not for foreigners.It is recorded in the book that many elves like to assassinate enemy generals when they come out to question them.

"Hey..." A pleasant sigh came from the top of the city, which sounded familiar to Roland.

A heavily armed elf walked to the city wall. Roland watched as the elf took off his helmet, which was filled with ether fluctuations and had a fiery red phoenix headdress, revealing a familiar face inside.

Roland looked at the elf and said hello with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you again here, Ms. Jerolul."

On the city wall, the tall female elf no longer showed the indifferent smile she had in the Golden Federation territory in the past, but with a solemn face, she replied like a Valkyrie: "In accordance with the ancient covenant, Ge Yue The dynasty will never tolerate the predicament of the Offensive Council. Your Excellency Roland, I hope you will cease the war immediately, retreat, and prevent the war from spreading!"

Chapter 175: Space Assassin?

In response to Jerolul's words, Roland just shrugged and smiled politely.

After the female elf finished speaking, Roland said: "Your Excellency Jerolul, I can understand this move of the Songyue Dynasty as: Do you want to be hostile to the Golden Federation? We obviously signed an alliance not long ago. Come on, or is the Austrian Law Council more worthy of the Songyue Dynasty’s friendship?”

Jerolul shook her head: "The Songyue Dynasty has no intention to be an enemy of the Golden Federation, nor does it have any intention to participate in the conflicts among you humans. However, the Austrian Law Council and the Songyue Dynasty have an ancient alliance, and we are limited by the alliance. Restrictions, we must help the Offa Council. Now that you have almost invaded the capital of the Offa Council, the Songyue Dynasty cannot sit idly by."

understood.

Roland nodded thoughtfully. He learned from some mythology books that Gonzaro, the god of magic believed by the Arcane Council, had helped the elves on the road to becoming a god.Originally, Roland only regarded it as a mythical story left over from ancient times, but looking at the Geyue Dynasty like this, it is indeed true.

After he goes back, he must take a closer look at the myths and legends of this world. Some of them may be real history.

"I understand." Roland raised his head and said, "Your Excellency Jerolul, the sword has no eyes. We will not show mercy when we attack the city later."

Jerolul nodded expressionlessly, because she really didn't know what to answer.

Roland sighed slightly and rode back with Melina and Ikosela.In fact, he had a pretty good sense of Jerolul, but unfortunately things were fickle and he didn't expect to be hostile to her when he attacked the Austrian Parliament.

While Jerolul was also sighing in her heart, the female elf suddenly felt that the ether fluctuations in the air were abnormal. She condensed her beautiful phoenix eyes and shouted loudly in the direction of Roland outside the city: "Be careful——"

But the one who reacted faster than Jerolul was Rodel Knight Ikosela, who was known for her defense. She jumped off her horse, suddenly came behind Roland, raised her golden shield, and pointed it at the seemingly empty person. in mid-air to protect him.

At the same moment, Melina's originally gentle eyes changed, and the black and red flames of destined death vaguely appeared in her hands.

Roland's reaction was not slow either. The big rune returned to him after Greg's arrival gave him part of the power he had at the junction.When he noticed the abnormal ether fluctuations in the air, he touched the sword at his waist, but after realizing that Ikosela had protected him, he made no more unnecessary moves.

The next second, the space above Roland and others shattered like glass, and an invisible and colorless sharp blade struck the golden shield raised in Ikosela's hand.The female knight immediately felt something was wrong with this sharp blade. The shadow of the ancient dragon flashed behind her, and golden dragon thunder appeared on her body and quickly spread towards the golden shield.

But a stronger force came from behind and grabbed the female knight, pulling her away from the twisted space blade.

Golden shards scattered in all directions, and Ixella gasped, blood dripping from the gaps in the gauntlets of her trembling hands.The golden shield in Knight Rodel's hand and the war horse under her crotch were twisted and severed by the invisible slash.

However, the face of Ecosela's visor did not show an expression of fear, but a look of guilt.

She knew who saved her.

"I'm sorry, Lord Roland. I..." Ikosela said in shame.

Roland just patted the female knight's shoulder armor to signal her not to pay attention, and then raised his head with narrowed eyes.

On the other side, Melina waved her hand and threw a black-red fireball in the direction of the space slash.The fireball disappeared instantly when it came into contact with the twisted space. Then Roland heard a scream coming from that place, and a thin figure suddenly reappeared, with black and red flames still burning on the white mage's robe.

It was a little old man with an old appearance. Judging from the logo embroidered on the mage's robe, he was a rare space mage in the Arcane Council.

At this time, the little old man felt extremely painful because of the flames of his destined death that directly burned his soul. His facial features were wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and he closed his eyes and opened his mouth.Then this powerful space mage gritted his teeth and directly cut his left arm, left leg and part of the abdomen that were stained with black and red flames with a space blade, and then used his own space magic to temporarily generate a transparent left arm and left leg.

But before he finished chanting the spell and wanted to escape, the little old man's head went dark, and Melina jumped into the sky above him. The girl's graceful body spun in the air, and the mission dagger in her hand erupted with a dazzling golden light blade. The body twisted and was thrown towards the sneak attack space mage.

The little old man's eyes showed fear for Melina. He knew that this girl had just found the overlapping space where she was hiding for some reason, and threw a strange flame in.

Gotta go.The space mage's thoughts were racing in his mind. Before the golden light blade touched him, he was confident that he could use space magic to teleport to a safe place.

But before he could hide in the surrounding space again, a sharp pain shot through the depths of his soul.There were black and red flames burning on his body again. It was the pain caused by these flames that made this space mage unable to sing at high speed.

This... what on earth is this flame! !Didn’t I already have all the body parts I touched cut off! ! !

The space mage could only look at the increasingly brighter golden light in front of him in despair.

"Shh-"

The light blade released by Melina slashed across the space mage, and the old head fell to the dirt with a "snap" sound.

This scene only happened in a very short period of time, and was completely seen by Ikosela on the city wall.The female elf attached the "Eagle Eye Technique" to her eyes and could clearly see the face of the head on the ground.

"[Spirit Monkey] Lloyd Quiñones..." Jerolul recognized the name of the dead space mage.

This is one of the few space mage in the Arcane Council who has been promoted to the legendary mage class. Because Lloyd himself has great spatial affinity, using magic to travel through space is as simple as apes jumping between forest trees, so he is called [ Spiritual Monkey].

He himself is also one of the strongest spell thorns in the Arcane Council. Even legendary mages or warriors have fallen into his hands.

But...he simply died in the hands of the girl who was following Roland?

Jerolul slightly widened her beautiful eyes in surprise, feeling very unreal.Then this feeling turned into deep fear.

Absolutely, absolutely do not touch the black-red flames released by that girl.The female elf warned herself in her heart.Although she still doesn't know the nature of this flame, Lloyd's fate is enough to warn her.

Chapter 176: I got angry and was called a little girl

"Roland, are you okay?"

From behind, Blaze and Bernal rushed over immediately and asked worriedly.

[Big Tree Guard] Fernandi was slightly slower than them and rushed to Roland's side. He did not say anything. The golden tree's big shield lit up and protected Roland behind him.The big tree guard looked angrily at the city wall of Twilight City under his helmet, feeling scared about Roland's assassination just now.

If Roland really died from this, the big tree guard felt that he might lose his mind and would not stop until he slaughtered everyone in the Austrian Council, even the civilians.

Roland smiled at Blaze and Bernal, who were rushing over, and told them not to be nervous: "Don't worry, I didn't get hurt in any way."

Then he glanced at Ikosela, who was depressed and trembling, and said: "It's all thanks to Ikosela. If she hadn't blocked me in the first place, I would have probably killed the enemy." The way."

Roland did not exaggerate this statement. He just felt that the flow of ether in the air suddenly changed. He did not know that the enemy was a mage assassin who specialized in playing with space abilities.The premise of his defense is that the opponent is a normal elemental mage.

For example, fire magic or ice magic.

The time it took for Ikosela to block the space blade for him made him realize that the enemy's attack was extremely destructive. It also gave Roland time to react. He grabbed Ikosela before the space blade completely destroyed the golden shield. Ra's shoulder armor pulled the Rodel knight away from the enemy's attack range.

Roland looked at the destroyed golden shield on the ground. The gap was not smooth and neat as if cut by a knife, but had twisted metal faults one after another.The space blade released by the dead assassin probably used the shape that looked like a blade to cut, so that even those who reacted to the sneak attack just thought it was a normal slash, but in fact what was released was related to distorted space. Spell, if you really treat it as a normal slash, you will pay for it with your own life.

This is also the reason why the golden shield was destroyed. If it were just a sharp space blade, it would not cut off the shield used by Rodel Knight, who is famous for defense, but with the attribute of distorting space, it is different.

Essentially, this attack is a spell damage that utilizes the etheric properties of space, and is not a pure physical attack.

The big tree guard had just noticed this, so when he came to Roland, he directly activated the combat skills against spells on the golden tree shield.

When Blaze confirmed that Roland was fine, he felt relieved.Then the half-wolf man looked at the city with the same anger, holding the hilt of the royal sword behind him with his right hand, and let out a low roar from his throat: "These damn elves actually dare to plot against you, I want to show them some color now. "

Roland quickly stopped him and said, "Calm down Blaise. The person who assassinated me is a mage from the Arcane Council and has nothing to do with the elves of the Songyue Dynasty. On the contrary, she also reminded me of the danger."

Although Jerolul's reminder was a little late, Roland still heard it.

"We can just send troops to attack Twilight City later. Now is not the time for you to show off alone." Roland patted the half-werewolf on the shoulder: "Although the strength of the group of elves is not as powerful as our soldiers, it is better than the strength of the Austrian Council. The soldiers who look like bastards can already be called elites. I don’t need to think about it, I know that there will be a fight later. Behind this group of elves, there are also mages from the Arcane Council who are responsible for supporting. If you are alone, you will be like this I'm afraid it will be very difficult to rush forward. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and I don't want you to fight in such a reckless and risky way."

Blaze's wolf ears that were originally upturned drooped, he nodded and said in a muffled voice: "I understand."

Bernal said at this time: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. It would be terrible if the enemy has some means we don't know about to assassinate Mr. Roland. We should go back to the rear first and wait for Roland to issue the order to attack the city."

So Roland took Melina and Ikosela back to the team under the full attention of the tree guards.

The knights who had been fighting with Roland these days were relieved to see that Roland was fine.Especially the knights of Grek's Royal Army, whose hearts that had been hanging just now were finally relieved, and then their eyes were filled with shame and anger.

He was ashamed that he had not discovered Roland's assassination in time, and his anger was directed at the Arcane Council in Twilight City.

What was Roland to them?It is the incarnation of the golden tree's will that they believe in, and it is the belief that allows them to regain their sanity and return to normal people.In other words, Roland is equivalent to the living god that the Gray Knights believe in.

Now that the god he believed in was almost assassinated by the enemy in front of him, it was obvious what the Gray Knights would do next.

Therefore, due to their anger at leaving, the Homeless Knights and Kaidan mercenaries next to them clearly felt that something was wrong with the Grek Knights.

On the wall of Dusk City, a mage appeared next to Jerolul.The female elf was questioning the other party with a dark face: "Patricia, what do you mean by the Offensive Council?"

The elderly female mage she called "Patricia" didn't look good either. After all, she had just lost a rare space mage.After hearing the female elf's question, she replied unceremoniously in an old tone: "What do you mean? If we can assassinate the leader of the Golden Federation here, we can save a lot of trouble, and Twilight City will not need it. Infected by the flames of war. Little girl, don’t you understand such a simple truth?”

Jerolul sneered: "'Little girl'? This is the name I should have said to you. Don't think that I don't know the little thoughts of your Offensive Council. If you had succeeded in the assassination just now, then what happened to Roland just now?" After I finished speaking, I became the target of public criticism. In this way, the Songyue Dynasty would be dragged down and become completely hostile to the Golden Federation. Human mages, please remember that we are here to support you only to follow the ancient covenant, but if you The Law Council dares to make some small moves against the Geyue Dynasty behind its back... I think the Golden Federation looks quite pleasing to the eye, do you understand what I mean? Xiao, Ya, Tou?"

The female elf said deliberately.

However, before Patricia could say anything, the Storm Eagles flying from high in the sky interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Ready for the sharpshooter!" Gerolul lost interest in talking to Patricia and shouted loudly for the elf warriors he brought to fulfill their covenant.

Patricia sneered inwardly.Is Golden Commonwealth more pleasing to the eye?When they are attacked from behind, I wonder what kind of expression your pretty face will show.

At the same time, on the other side within the territory of the Offa Council.

The armies of the various subordinate countries were marching towards Twilight City. They did not choose the invasion route from the Golden Federation, but went around to the side to prepare for a flanking attack with the Twilight City defenders.

But on their march, a Calian knight was already waiting.

Chapter 177: Kalia Knight: This road is blocked

The territory of the Austrian Law Council, south of Baicao City, Fenghua Mountains.

The two armies from the Eden Territory and the Emerald Territory were on their way to Twilight City.These two territories are not so much small countries as they are big lords canonized by the Austrian Parliament.The two great lords enjoy the benefits of the Offician Parliament's policies and pay a lot of tribute every year, and the Offanic Parliament will also provide corresponding protection to these two territories.

In other words, these two territories can use the banner of the Austrian and French Parliament to bully other small countries to gain benefits.

It is worth mentioning that the Emerald Territory has nothing to do with the Emerald City of the Offensive Council. The former is named after the great lord's surname, while the latter is named after the local city that produces precious treasures such as emerald and white jade.

The Golden Federation army led by Roland was like a sharp dagger, piercing directly from the west of the Offa Council to the heart of the Twilight City, the last line of defense before the capital.Because the blitzkrieg was all about striking a surprise and using swift troops, Roland did not pay attention to the Austrian and French Council cities in other directions along the way.

This also gave the Offa Council the opportunity to call for support from the cities in the south and north of its territory.

Under ideal circumstances, the Offa Council planned to directly flank Roland's lone army on three sides.That is to say, the Austrian Law Parliament sent a large army to resist the attack of the Golden Federation. Reinforcements from the south and north directions suddenly rushed in during the fierce battle between the two sides, causing Roland's army to fall into panic.

If the Charles Empire and the Holy Empire of France are willing to send troops to assist, then they can cut off Roland's retreat route from the rear.

Of course, these were just the scenarios imagined by the members of the House of Lords of the Offen Parliament who could only talk on paper. In fact, they did not consider why Roland came all the way to replenish the explosive barrels.

But what's even more outrageous is that even Alois agreed to the method discussed by the members of the Upper House.

Even if they find one or two serious generals from some small countries that belong to them, they will not just carry out military operations according to the ideal situation.

This led to the fact that when they issued these instructions, Roland had just breached the Secret Realm Journey Academy of the Austrian Law Council.By the time these orders were implemented, Roland had already broken through Clear Sky Academy and arrived not far from Twilight City.

The march speed of the Golden Federation was so fast that it caught the Offa Council by surprise.

But the Austrian Law Council then thought about it and thought that your Golden Federation's siege speed is so fast, it is definitely impossible for the captured cities to surrender to you sincerely, and there are remaining troops with combat capabilities hidden in these cities.

So they hurriedly sent some mages who were good at using psychic magic or suggestion magic to go to these cities with extremely precious and rare fixed-point teleportation scrolls.

The result was that after those extremely precious fixed-point teleportation scrolls were torn apart, there was nothing more. The space gate only appeared for a moment and was occupied by golden light and then destroyed. The slow entrance of the mind mage was okay, but the fast entrance was The mind mage got lost in the ether sea with the destruction of the space gate and died.

The failure of the fixed-point teleportation scroll, which was regarded as the most popular technology by the Arcane Council, allowed Alois to confirm the nature of the golden tree.Because it is not blocking the space, but directly reaching out from the etheric sea along the space anchor point opened by the fixed-point teleportation scroll and slapping the person who opened the door while destroying it.

Your Excellency, the Speaker, asked himself that he couldn’t do it.

The Golden Tree also has something to say. These are the places I have protected. If you can just come to my house like this, wouldn't it be a shame for me?

Then the wizards in the House of Lords were embarrassed.

Of course, even if the psychic mages they sent could reach these cities, they would not be able to find any combat-effective soldiers. Servis, who was stationed with an army of puppets not far behind the cavalry regiment led by Roland, showed an infectious smile. Voice.

So unless these mind mages don't even spare civilians, suggesting that they pick up kitchen knives, steel forks or shovels that are barely considered weapons.This is not impossible. The mages are more terrifying than the nobles in other countries when they are crazy.If some nobles were still worried that all these civilians would die, the mages had no such concerns at all.

To sum up, although the mages are rigorous and studious, their arrogance and self-conceited character in the Arcane Council have long led to this situation.

This is also the various suppressive effects brought about by blitzkrieg.

Under the shade of a tree in the Wind Flower Mountains, the Kalia Knight, who was leaning against a tree to enjoy the shade, slowly opened his blue amber eyes.He felt the earth tremble slightly, presumably the enemy's reinforcements were about to pass by.

There are many shining sword traps set by the knights of Kallia buried on the narrow road between the mountains and the mountains, allowing only four people to pass abreast.They sit quietly in the dirt, waiting for someone to pass by.

Roland had already gathered the ether to summon the Kalia Knights in the previous siege, but he never went to summon them.And during the attack on Clear Sky Academy, the dean who was casually killed by Bernal said a lot of nonsense.Anyway, Roland heard that what the other party wanted to say was that reinforcements from the Austrian Council were on the way, and you guys couldn't beat them.

After breaking through Clear Sky Academy, Roland thought for a while, and finally chose to summon two Calia knights instead of more Grek knights or other low-level troops based on Blaze's guarantee.

Another Kalia knight was also sent to the north to block the reinforcements coming over there. The Kalia knight going to the north was a mountain demon.Roland was not very surprised by this. As early as in the game, there were many mountain monsters wearing the helmets of the Calian knights and the cloaks of the Calian royal family to fight against the players.

The Kalia knight sent to the Wind Flower Mountains is completely human.

According to Blaze, in Lenara's mother's generation, there were even dragons who accepted the canonization of the Calian royal family and became a (head?) real Calian knight.
