Carry the Ring of Elden with you

The people sitting at the conference table did not discuss it in a noisy manner like a vegetable market. Instead, everyone expressed their opinions to each other in a soft voice.

They discussed for a while. City Lord Edgar stood up from his seat first, saluted Roland, and asked in his thick voice: "Lord Roland, there is no dwarf race in the border area. Could you please explain it to us?" The situation of the dwarves in this world. As for the Arcane Council, judging from the name, I think it should be similar to the Rhea Lucalia Academy in Lienia of the Lake. However, I saw from previous battle reports that the mages in this world seem to be more He is good at using various elemental magics, unlike those mages from Rhea Lucalia Academy who can only use pyroxene magic."

Roland nodded slightly after hearing what City Lord Edgar said: "This is an oversight on my part. In the border area, I think you all understand that if you are too short, you will be discriminated against."

Hearing this, everyone present nodded.

"But dwarves are different. Although they are short in stature, they have stronger physical qualities than ordinary humans, and are proficient in the strength and balance of their bodies. They are good at forging and smelting metals, love wealth, and have very stubborn and bad tempers. Even if the armor and weapons forged by dwarves are buried for a long time, no rust will appear on them, and they are stronger and sharper. Therefore, they are very popular in the human market. Many famous magic weapons in this continent are made by dwarves. hand."

"On the battlefield, the physical fitness of the dwarves will make them the strongest heavyweights. Each of them is the most courageous and skilled warrior, and their land combat capabilities are very powerful. But in contrast, the dwarves do not have the ability to awaken magic. But relying on the equipment they forged to strike from a distance will not lose to the mages."

"The mages of the Offician Council are indeed what Edgar said, but the Offician Council is generally neutral and will not send its domestic mages to other countries to help in the war. This is because the members of the Offican Council are originally from I think there is a high probability that the mages from various countries in the Sarid continent came here because the Charles Empire made a promise to the Austrian Parliament to give us to them as trophies."

The fact that the Austrian Law Council is dispatched is actually Roland's case of "a common man is not guilty but he is guilty of carrying a treasure".

Even the two guards of Lord Malen could tell that the pastries and other foods sold in Morn City contained trace amounts of easily absorbed magic power. How could the members of the Austrian Council who came to Morn City to experience the customs and culture of the Golden Dynasty not sense it.

Roland cannot be blamed for this. Of course he knows that the newly planted crops within the influence of the golden tree contain magic power and are more nutritious than ordinary crops.

Millet crops haven’t grown yet, they’re still in the soil!However, some vegetables with short growth cycles can already be picked and eaten. Although Roland prohibits the people in Moen City, which originally belonged to Dogu City, from selling vegetables privately, people still have to eat.

The food provided by the Holy Empire of France could not last long.

And this kind of thing can't be hidden for a while. There are so many people coming and going in Moen City, it is simply impossible to cover up something that is closely related to people's livelihood.

But what Roland didn't expect was that apart from the newly planted crops, even the various foods that had been picked and stored also contained a touch of magic under the light and blessing that the golden tree exuded day after day.

In fact, many clues of this have been revealed in Moen City and its surroundings. The plants that gradually withered in autumn are rejuvenated, but the original green branches and leaves are gradually turning towards noble gold.Fortunately, it was autumn, and many careless people thought this was the color that plants turn yellow in autumn.

As for the golden tree body of the Endless Forest, the woods around it have already turned golden.

So when people from the Offa Council ate food containing magic among the cheap meals served at a roadside restaurant, they were shocked on the spot, thinking that the owner of the restaurant was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

They stepped forward and tested it with words. After discovering that it was indeed a small restaurant run by ordinary people, their eyes were full of confusion. Then they went to other food shops in Moren City to try, and they all found that these foods contained... Magic that can be absorbed.

Then they will naturally understand what is going on. If this happens to a restaurant, it may be that the boss made a mistake. But if every restaurant and snack shop is like this, it can only mean that something is improving in this golden dynasty. This land is gone.

The Arcane Council has been studying how to awaken magic to people without magical talents, and these ingredients from the Golden Dynasty give them a chance to see the success of this research.

Of course, please don’t get me wrong. In order to awaken magic to people without magical talent, it is not the good intention of the Arcane Council, but only out of interest.

As mentioned before, except for a few lucky people who can awaken their magical talents and become mages, most of them are nobles with prominent family backgrounds.They are studying this project only to make their family stronger, not to benefit all mankind.

How could these noble mage masters personally hand over the method that could kill them into the hands of those despicable people?

If the Golden Dynasty is a long-standing power or once famous in history, the Austrian Parliament will come to respectfully explore cooperation issues.

But the current Golden Dynasty only uses a city with a population of less than [-]. Even Moren City cannot accommodate that sparse population.

As the saying goes, the law of the jungle preys on the strong, so when the people from the Charles Empire came to the door, the Officine Council readily agreed to their request, and sent out the alchemy colossus that the council had researched but had never had the chance to use to test the results.

"By the way, where is Yakir? Why didn't I see it in Morn City? Where did it fly?" After introducing the general situation of the dwarves and the Officine Council, Roland asked Edgar curiously.

Edgar smiled bitterly when he heard the name and replied: "This, Lord Roland. Although Aqil will help when the enemy comes because of your order, it is not easy for us to communicate with it, and it is not very friendly. We communicate. It was easy to talk when you were here, but after you left Morn City, Aqil didn't listen to what we said. When he woke up, he didn't know where to fly to hunt for food. For you who defeated him, he was well-behaved. Yes, but to us, Yakir is a flying dragon that cannot communicate properly."

Roland was stunned. He had never considered this issue.

Roland once thought that Yaqir's obedient baby attitude in front of him made him think that this furry flying dragon was very easy to talk to, but he forgot that when it was first summoned, it faced the disdainful and arrogant look of the Charles Empire Dragon Knight and his dragon companions. appearance.

"This is indeed something I didn't think about." Roland showed an apologetic expression and said to Edgar: "In Leiden City, I summoned the dragon soldiers of Noklonn. Its character is better than that of Kia Kil. Being gentler should make communication a lot easier. Although it is said to be the creation of Nokron, it is not hostile to the golden tree when it is summoned. I think it may be because this is not a border area. So Akiel, I It’s better to place it next to me and transfer the dragon soldiers from Leiden City back to assist you in defending Morn City.”

The big tree guard 'Fernandi' said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Lord Roland, do you need me to help teach that arrogant flying dragon a lesson? It's just a weak flying dragon, but I still have full control over it." I'll take it down. So that it doesn't disobey your orders."

The big tree guard who had been breached by the ancient dragon in the royal city was naturally very hostile to anything related to dragons. After hearing about the behavior of the flying dragon 'Yakir', he simply offered to defeat Yakir.

Roland looked at the guard of the big tree and suddenly felt a headache.However, he also understood the mood of the big tree guards, but it was impossible for his two most powerful units to start internal strife.Not to mention whether they would have any grudges after the fight, Roland couldn't let the big tree guard and Yakir get injured in the internal conflict just in the current battle.

However, Roland cannot ignore Yaqir's attitude and behavior. If he does not punish it, Edgar and others will think that Roland is very fond of this flying dragon, which may lead to more serious consequences in the long run.

So it is really difficult to think of a bowl of water that is even.

Roland coughed lightly and said with a serious face: "I accept your proposal. The big tree guards 'Fernandi'. I will personally handle the flying dragon 'Yakir'. You can concentrate on dealing with the upcoming Three Kingdoms first." Allied forces are enough.”

The big tree guard nodded and sat down, the bench groaning under the weight of his huge body.

After complaining, Roland immediately contacted the Golden Tree in his mind and asked it to call and find Yakir's location.

Soon, the golden tree responded. It told Roland that the black flying dragon was lying in a forest near the golden tree itself, stretching its limbs comfortably and enjoying the rich blessing light of the golden tree itself. Like a well-behaved cat curled up by the fireplace at home to keep warm.

It's just that there are bloody large animal skeletons scattered around Aqil's ferocious body, and the nearby land has been burnt black by the dragon's breath, telling others that this big furry black guy is not. What a well-behaved cat, but a flying dragon that opens its bloody mouth and spits out dragon flames.

Roland looked at Aqil's sleeping figure through the golden tree, and then looked at the pile of animal bones around him. He even had the illusion that this lazy dragon had gained some weight after not seeing it for three days.

Feeling the words "Do I need to wake it up" from the golden tree in his mind, Roland shook his head to the golden tree in his heart and did not choose to wake up Aqil.

Tsk, I won't bother it until the meeting is over.After Roland made up his mind, he said to Edgar: "I found Yakir. He has been moving near the golden tree. It has been really hard for you these past few days."

Edgar breathed a sigh of relief. If anything happened to Yaqir, he wouldn't be able to escape the relationship, as long as the disobedient flying dragon was fine.

Roland motioned for Edgar to sit down, and then said to everyone at the conference table: "In addition, regarding the Austrian Law Council, I have invited two more familiar people to introduce it to us. The time should be up now."

As soon as he finished speaking, two heroic and beautiful girls in armor appeared at the door of the city main hall and announced loudly and confidently: "Lucia and Lamia, reserve members of the Lost Knights, are here to follow your orders. .”

These two girls were the Pegasus knights who had returned from the Holy Empire of France. Now, after being taught and trained by Fazhuang and others, they have officially become members of the reserve force of the lost knights.

"Come in." Roland asked Knight Commander Greg who was guarding the door to let him go, and the two girls walked in with capable steps.

"Lord Roland, Lord Edgar, Lord Kenneth..." As soon as they came in, two girls who had not completely lost their aristocratic habits opened their mouths to greet everyone present, and Roland quickly waved his hands to stop them.

"Hey, hey, don't be so complicated. I don't like the aristocratic etiquette of your Holy Empire of France. Keep everything simple." Roland said.

The two girls paused for a moment, then nodded to show that they understood, and performed a ritual reserved for female nobles to the people in front of the conference table, but the armor on their bodies made their movements slightly awkward.

In fact, this etiquette is not necessary.Roland complained in his mind, but it was obvious that if the two girls here were not allowed to salute, they would not feel at ease.

"Lucia, Lamia, I sent someone to ask you to come over and ask you to explain to us the strength of the Austrian Parliament's army. But before that, I have a few questions to ask you." Roland's eyes narrowed slightly and he stared at Two uneasy girls said.

"Please ask, as long as Lamia and I know everything, we must tell you everything." Looking at Roland's serious expression, Lucia subconsciously took Lamia's hand, and the hand that was a little rough after training was Her restless heart brought a sense of security.

Lamia noticed her movement and held Lucia's hand tightly.

Roland didn't care about the two girls' private actions and asked directly: "Who is in charge of the Holy Wings Legion in your Holy Empire of France?"

"Holy Wings Legion?" Lucia repeated, and then replied: "The two current leaders of the Holy Wings Legion are the heads of the Tuslin Greenleaf Family and the Calnan Family, and the person standing behind them is the fourth. Princess Cecilia. Cecilia’s mother is the eldest daughter of the Calnan family, and the Calnan family has a history of marriage with the Tuslin Greenleaf family.”

Greenleaf family?I remember that Wylis also called himself a member of the Greenleaf family, but he was from the Charles Empire.Roland frowned and continued to ask: "Tuslin Greenleaf Family? What is the connection between the Greenleaf Family of Charles Empire and the Greenleaf Family of France Holy Empire?"

Lucia shook her head slightly: "I don't know that. I only know that the two Greenleaf families were once one family."

Lamia answered loudly at this time.The silver-haired girl said: "I can answer this question, Lord Roland. The Tuslin Greenleaf Family and the Greenleaf Family of the Charles Empire did come from the same family just as Lucia said. And this family goes up. If we trace it back, it will involve the Luye family, one of the twelve nobles in the Songyue Dynasty of the elves. Of course, this does not mean that the Luye family is the descendant of elves, but that their ancestor Tuslin once fell in love with a female elf from the Luye family. Falling in love. However, the Luye family of the Songyue Dynasty immediately kicked this woman who fell in love with humans out of the family. In order to appease her lover, Tuslin changed the name of his family to Tuslin Luye."

"The Luye Family of the Charles Empire was the result of a conflict between the younger brother and the older brother of Tuslin Luye Family Patriarch of a certain generation. In anger, he led some family members to defect to the Charles Empire, which was still a small country at the time. Over time, the current Luye Family was formed."

Roland raised his brows to show that he understood: "So now the Greenleaf families in the two countries only have a little bit of elven blood, but they actually have no connection with the elves?"

Lamia nodded.

Roland also nodded and said something that shocked Lucia and Lamia: "In other words, the person who ordered the Holy Wings to ambush me in Leiden City was actually the fourth princess of the Holy Empire of France. This is interesting. The eldest prince, Albert, once sent someone to form an alliance with me. Although the second prince, Noel, lost his troops to me, he also sent someone to show goodwill. The third prince, not to mention, has not sent anyone to contact me. This The Fourth Princess directly colluded with the Charles Empire to frame me, which is interesting, really interesting."

"You, what did you say? You encountered an ambush by the Holy Wings in Leiden City?" Lucia was a little panicked and even stammered when speaking.

There was no way, once the surrendered people like them broke the alliance with their original country, they would be the first to be unlucky, and Lucia and Lamia couldn't help but become nervous.

As for the thought of resistance, after the education of the lost knights, these two girls completely understood how childish and ridiculous their originally complacent talents were in their eyes, and the difference in strength was so huge that they seemed to be unable to see their backs.

"Dang rang rang..." Roland threw the helmets and family crests of the two leaders of the Holy Wing Legion who were killed by the guards of the tree on the conference table, making a clear sound.

The two girls suddenly felt dizzy when they saw the familiar helmet and a well-made green leaf family emblem.

Chapter 23: The Spellbreakers of the Arcane Council

"Don't be alarmed. I called you here simply to ask about the information about the Holy Wings Legion and the situation of the Arcane Council. It was not to raise an army to investigate. I know that you are the second prince's people and have nothing to do with the fourth prince. Roland saw the two girls who thought they were going to be sacrificed and comforted them: "Next, please explain the situation of the Austrian Law Council. Do they have any troops that need special attention?"

Lucia nodded, although her face was still pale: "Yes, the Arcane Council has a spellbreaker battle group that specifically targets enemy mages. Their armor uses rare metals that can isolate ether transmission and can be immune to most conventional spells. At the same time, they also master a kind of forbidden magic, and the wizard who casts the forbidden magic on them cannot sing the syllables smoothly."

"Most of these spellbreakers are composed of warriors who are good at close combat. After special training for mages, they can be said to be the perfect nemesis of spellcasters. The mission of the spellbreaker group is to intercept the enemy's magicians and let their own magicians You can throw spells at the opponent without restraint."

After Roland listened, he felt particularly familiar with the idea of ​​reaching out to the Arcane Council but cultivating a battle group specifically targeting mages.

It is simply a replica of the Kaliya royal family and the Cuckoo Knights, except that this Spellbreaker Chapter is still under the control of the Alfa Council.

"Have you ever heard of the Alchemy Colossus of the Arcane Council?" Roland then asked.

Lucia showed a thoughtful expression, her short black hair swaying around her face: "The Austrian Parliament once came to discuss the cooperation with the Holy Empire of France to research a war colossus, but then nothing happened. His Majesty the Emperor believed that This is an extremely waste of money and time. Because the first trial product of the Alchemical Colossus of the Arcane Council was easily destroyed by three legendary level mages and warriors, and the resources spent to create this Alchemical Colossus were enough for the Magic Council to The Holy Empire of Lance has cultivated far more than three legendary powerhouses.”

The girl added: "Compared with the two golem guards in Moren City, they are far inferior. I have never seen an alchemical colossus that is so flexible and has such a wide and accurate long-range killing range."

Lamia on the side also nodded vigorously in agreement with what Lucia said.

In the battle of Dogu City, the golem guards brought a great psychological shadow to the two girls. The Pegasus Knights unit they were in was broken up by the two golem guards like shooting weak sparrows, and later They learned from other people that the reason why the two dragon knights of the Charles Empire fell so quickly had a lot to do with the golem guards.

If ordinary soldiers faced off against the golem guards, the outcome would only be a one-sided massacre.

"Okay, I understand. You can go back to the training ground." Roland waved the two girls out.

Lucia and Lamia hesitated, and the former asked with beautiful orange eyes with a hint of gold: "...Lord Roland, don't you doubt that we will inform the country about the situation in Morn City?"

Roland looked at the two girls in surprise and shook his head: "The matter of the Holy Wings Legion really has nothing to do with you. Okay, you can go back and train in peace. I will send you two to test the lost knight against the enemy this time. The results of their training.”

If the combat effectiveness of Lucia and Lamia is indeed improved significantly, then it means that the idea of ​​being able to produce lost knights without consuming ether summons can be realized.

After hearing Roland's words, Lucia and Lamia bowed and retreated.

"The Alchemy Colossus brought by the Offican Council this time will never be destroyed by three legendaries as easily as they said. Of course, it's not that Lucia and the others are lying. I just think that the Offician Council deliberately ignored Fran. The Holy Empire of Sri Lanka went to study the alchemical colossus for war, and what was given to them was just an ordinary large puppet casually sent by the Arcane Council. I used to deal with many mages when I was in the Lulan Chamber of Commerce, and they are shrewd. I'm afraid that I have cheated the Holy Empire of France into secretly researching an expensive and rare material." Roland didn't believe that any of the magicians in the Austrian Parliament who were always scheming could become mages and become high-level officials with real power in the Austrian Parliament. A person is a good person.

I'm afraid that the Emperor of the Holy Empire of France also knew that he had been cheated, but it was an extreme waste to pretend to be fat because he couldn't break up with the Austrian Parliament.

"In addition to the 30 Troll Riders I brought, there are 70 Troll Riders that I left in Leiden City and did not bring back. And I can continue to summon more Troll Riders, Homeless Knights and Exiled Soldiers. There is also Grek’s King’s Army. By the way, Kenneth Hyde, I can also summon your Hyde Fortress, where do you want me to summon him?”

When Kenneth Hyde heard Roland's words, his eyes filled with golden blessings lit up: "Can Hyde Fortress be summoned by you? That would be great. There is a dangerous place to the west of Morn City, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If If you place Hyde Fortress there, you can form a diversionary force against the enemy."

"Well, then I'll do as you say. I'll call more people over after the meeting. Also, Kenneth, do you know how many days of rations a mountain monster consumes for a normal man every day?" Roland looked at it. Said to Kenneth Hyde: "Although Leiden City is a prosperous city with more than 20 people, it is now in dire straits. And I heard from survivors among them that the food in Leiden City was contaminated by the undead natural disaster. I’m worried that the combined food rations in the two cities are not enough to feed these 100 trolls.”

Kenneth Hyde is in charge of the internal affairs of Morn City, and he must know all about the remaining food and grass in the city.

He replied: "100 mountain monster knights? A mountain monster will eat about 50 adult male rations a day, and this is still in the border area. The energy contained in the food here is lower than that in the border area. I'm afraid that the mountain monsters consume more food and grass. If we add the soldiers you summoned, I'm afraid our food and grass will really be in a state of tension. But there is good news at the moment, Lord Roland, you have obtained from those The traveling salesman has purchased a lot of grain, and he can still cope with it in the next few weeks. The batch of cereal crops planted before will mature soon. As long as there is no sudden situation, you don't have to worry too much about the problem of grain and grass. But the mountain demon The number of knights must be summoned carefully, otherwise summoning too many might really overwhelm us."

"I understand, so with our current food and grass situation, how many Troll Knights can I summon at most?" Roland said, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.

Almost all the wars that took place in the famous Middle-earth world relied on cavalry, giant beasts and chariots.

Now Roland has no chariot in his hands, only the invincible Homeless Knights, the Tree Guards and the Troll Knights, so he is very concerned about this issue.

The mountain demon knights may not get much benefit from the legendary strong men in this world, but these tall behemoths are an unmatched nightmare for those soldiers, and they are very good for dealing with the soldiers. choose.

The two armies are fighting, and the strong ones are restraining each other. The higher-level strong ones are restricted and are not allowed to take action, because they can easily cause damage like the destruction of living beings and the collapse of the earth.The war is to serve politics and interests, and they are not trying to obtain a wasteland where no living thing can survive.However, they will still take action when necessary. At that time, soldiers from both sides will take the initiative to withdraw, leaving the battlefield to these strong men.

So most of the time it is the ordinary soldiers who can decide the direction of the war, so the role of the mountain demon knights is very valuable.

"Hmm... I will support you, Lord Roland, in summoning 20 Troll Knights at most. Because I want to reserve some food and grass for emergencies to avoid unexpected situations. Besides, you also have to summon other soldiers, so 20 is the limit. "Kenneth Hyde said, touching his golden beard and chin.

Roland nodded: "Twenty, a total of 20 mountain monsters is enough."

"If possible, please summon more Knights of Grek, Lord Roland." The guard of the big tree said at this time: "There are still too few cavalry who can carry out a group charge with me. I want to use the cavalry to defeat them in one fell swoop." If it’s the enemy, it’s best to keep the number of cavalry at 1000.”

"There are also exiled soldiers, Lord Roland. We are not very familiar with the cooperation with the King's Army, so I personally hope that you can summon more exiled soldiers." A homeless knight said.

As for Edgar, as the Lord of Morn City directly assigned by Greg, he already knew the command system of the King's Army well.

After all, in the game, he is a homeless knight who does not know the storm combat skills but can release gold to establish an oath. The soldiers in Morn City are also soldiers of Grek's King's Army.

Kenneth Hyde coughed lightly and smiled: "Although both of you are right, in addition to calling for military power, don't forget about people's livelihood, Lord Roland. The junction you summoned is currently in Morn City. Compared with the aborigines, there are not many local residents, and we are very short of technical talents such as blacksmiths and prayer teachers, so..."

Roland was one of them and two were older. After these people heard that they could summon, they set their sights on the summoning quota. It felt like they were deliberately crying for help and asking for soldiers.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know. I will make arrangements. Now let's break up the meeting. You can continue to do your own business. I'll go to the training ground to summon you." Seeing their expectant looks, Roland couldn't help but hurriedly Announced the dissolution of the meeting and ran out of the city main hall.

When they arrived at the training ground, Roland took a breath. Melina thoughtfully handed Roland a handkerchief.

"Ah, thank you." Roland took the handkerchief for a moment and wiped the sweat on his forehead.Because Melina is a soul body, the handkerchief does not have the so-called 'girly body fragrance', it is just an ordinary clean handkerchief.

Melina's mouth curved into a nice curve: "Don't blame them for being impatient, we really need you to summon more people from the border area now."

Roland shook his head and stuffed the handkerchief into his pocket: "I don't blame them, and I understand them. To be honest, I am more anxious than them."

Roland took a breath, raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the shadow of the golden tree above Moren City, his eyes blurred: "We are still too weak now, even if we summon Yakir, even if we summon the big tree guard. But it’s not enough, because there are real gods in this world. Although I have never seen them, they do exist. Even the Charles Empire that we are easily defeating now has many demigods walking in the world. The reason why they The reason we didn't take action was because of constraints, not because we didn't want to. If we attack the capital of Charles's empire and destroy his country, those terrifying demigods will take action like thunder."

"But before that, I can never be sure whether those demigods would rather break the rules and take action against me in advance. In the end, both sides will lose. Even if Lu Yi Stacey controls most of the power of Charles's empire, their emperor will treat me The hostility was so inexplicable that I was really worried. So I had to summon a demigod as soon as possible, the 'Golden Lord' Greg. Although his power is the weakest among all the demigods with big runes, But he is still a demigod after all. Only in this way can I have the confidence to deal with even the worst situation."

Roland revealed what he had been holding in his heart, but Melina didn't give any advice.

Because she knew that Roland just needed someone to listen, she smiled quietly and nodded slightly in line with Roland's words from time to time to show that she was listening attentively.

"Huh... I finally feel better after speaking out my concerns. Thank you, Melina, for letting you listen to me talking like this for a long time." Roland felt a lot more relaxed and showed an apologetic expression to Melina.

Melina shook her head slightly: "Why do I think you are nagging? On the contrary, I am very happy. Because Roland, you finally confided your heart to me, but unfortunately I can't help you immediately. But there is one thing I can promise you. "
