A large number of nobles in the Principality of Norn suddenly supported the second prince, Belden, and Belden succeeded to the throne of Norn King with lightning speed.
As a large spellcasting organization that has ruled the Northland for many years, the Northland Witch Council is very efficient once it makes up its mind to do something.
In less than a day, the witch visited the abnormal nobles, and noticed that there was a pair of invisible black hands behind the great changes in the Principality of Norn.
The emergence of such a black hand in their own territory shocked the Northland Witch Council, and at the same time felt deeply disturbed. They continued to investigate, and it took a week to confirm that the Forsyth Kingdom was the black hand behind the scenes.
The mysterious and ethereal space was filled with mist, and only the beam of light poured down from the dome onto the huge hexagram. Five figures in black robes stood silently on the six corners of the hexagram. They were the witches of the North who had gathered urgently.
"Everyone is here except Doris," the old hoarse voice echoed in the mysterious space, clearly reaching the ears of the witches.
The chairwoman of the Northland Witch Council, Te Erica, continued: "Some of you came out of the laboratory just now, and you don't know the situation yet. Let me introduce it in detail for you."
"Everyone, the Northland Witch Council is facing an enemy. This enemy is not as powerful as the Mistress of the Red Nest, but he is no less threatening to us than the Mistress of the Red Nest. He is so cunning, grows rapidly, and has rich wealth. Aggressive, he is the neighbor at the other end of Mirkwood, the king of the Forsa Kingdom—Francisco Trinidad Jose."
A witch who participated in the siege of the red dragon said: "Yes, the red dragon is indeed very troublesome. Doris and I tried to kill him twice but failed. The first time he used magic to kill him." Tower, and the second time, he also borrowed the power of the Dragon Worship Cult, we fell into his tricks, leading to the death of the Dragon Slayer Sword Saint."
"Judging from the two fights with him, the red dragon has grown very fast. If it is not killed in time, it will definitely pose a huge threat to the Witch Council in the future."
"Oh~."
The chairperson of the Witch of the North sighed, and said solemnly: "Monica, your information is outdated, not in the future. That red dragon has already posed a huge threat to us."
"Not long ago, the red dragon participated in the strangulation of the undead Scourge underground. According to the information I got, he showed strength no less than that of Dawn Legion's deputy head, Dalebo, in the battle."
"How can it be?!"
"Comparable to the deputy head of the Dawn Legion?! Doesn't that mean that Red Dragon and Your Excellency the Speaker are strong at the same level?! This is impossible!"
"..."
All of a sudden, the witches exploded and began to communicate with each other. Everyone felt incredible, because the red dragon grew up under the nose of the Northland Witch Council. When I first got to know the red dragon, it was just a legendary Neither are dragons.
Doubts came one after another: "Your Excellency, Speaker! Did you make a mistake! It's only been forty years! Even if he is the most talented red dragon among the five-color dragons, forty years is not enough time for an adult dragon to reach adulthood! !"
"Yes, when I first heard the news, I also felt unbelievable, but after many inquiries, the news I got was the same."
Te Erica went on to say: "This is not the most important thing. The main thing is that the red dragon is building a road through the dark forest, and he also secretly supported the new king of Norn Duchy to succeed to the throne. His claws have already extended to Council of Witches."
Immediately, all the witches fell silent, they needed time to digest the information they had just received.
It took a little red dragon that was not even a legend to grow to the point where it could threaten the Northland Witch Council in just over forty years. This growth rate made them feel absurd and unreal.
After everyone digested it for a while, Te Erica broke the silence: "The reason for the red dragon to grow up is my fault. I didn't pay enough attention to him, which gave him the opportunity to threaten the council."
The legendary witch felt bitter in her heart: "This..., Mr. Speaker, please don't blame yourself. Who would have thought that he would grow so fast."
"It must be killed as soon as possible."
"It's too late. Namoduo Peak Forest has a mage tower, and the Red Dragon is a top legendary powerhouse comparable to the Speaker. It is impossible for us to take down Moduo Peak Forest. On the contrary, it will affect the fight against Dragon Worship Sect."
"..."
The witches discussed, pessimistic mood spread among the witches, they found that they had missed the best time to kill the red dragon, and now they could do nothing against the red dragon.
When all the witches were frowning, Te Erica said in relief: "You don't have to be too pessimistic. We can't do anything about him, so why would he dare to do something about us? We also have magic towers, and there are more than one. Over the years In order to fight against the Dragon Worship Cult, the southerners supported a large amount of supplies, and these supplies became the nourishment for the growth of our Northland Witch Council."
"Also, let me tell you a piece of good news. Doris is about to leave the customs. By then, the strength of the Witch Council will be further enhanced."
"Then, Your Excellency the Speaker, how should we respond to the red dragon's infliction on the Norn Principality?"
"Stand still for the time being, just pretend it didn't happen, and come back to discuss after Doris is out of customs."
……………………………
A month later, Oka City.
As the sun rises, next to the sparkling moat, there are many soldiers on the high wall made of huge stones, and the red dragon ring flag of the Kingdom of Forsyth flutters in the wind.
The prime minister of the Kingdom of Fusai, the noble and powerful master of double materials—Ergo himself stood on the top of the city, looking at the forest in the distance, as if waiting for something.
At the same time, on both sides of the bridge outside the city and on both sides of the streets inside the city, the soldiers of the Kingdom maintained order. The streets were crowded with residents of Oka City, and the residents were chatting happily.
"Have you heard! This time His Majesty will confer a new nobleman!"
"What?!"
One must know that the aristocratic standard of the Fusai Kingdom is much higher than that of ordinary human kingdoms, and title rewards are not often seen.
On the side, a jackal quickly asked: "Brother, what merits are worthy of your majesty's rewarding title?!"
"Speaking of which, I only know that the army returned in triumph today, but what kind of battle did they fight? Well, do you know?"
"That's right! I'm wondering too. There hasn't been a war in the kingdom recently! What's going on?"
"..."
"Cough cough cough!"
Amidst the discussion, an orc aunt coughed a few times, which attracted everyone's attention. She said, "Don't you know? There are many legendary and extraordinary beast lords in the dark forest. These legendary and extraordinary beasts have caused great harm to the kingdom. Therefore, His Majesty the Great Red Dragon sent troops to conquer them, and the heroes who conquered Mirkwood will return today."
"Well, aunt, who did you hear that from?"
"My nephew is on duty in the army. He was injured and came back early. The child has been hiding it from us, saying that it is a military secret that cannot be disclosed. He didn't tell us the truth until yesterday."
"..."
"Alas! Here they come! They come! They're back!"
In the distance outside the city of Oka, a team with neat military appearance appeared on the road, the national flag of the Forsyth Kingdom fluttered in the wind, and they were the victorious and triumphant sweeping army of extraordinary beasts.
Legendary warrior, Stonehammer orc chief, fire attendant special occupation—Graeme Stonehammer rode on a warg and walked at the forefront of the team, with a high-spirited face, he raised his hand to build a sunshade above his eyes, and looked into the morning light The shining city of Orka.
"Finally home!"
"Is this what you call Oka City?"
The Blood Clan Lion—Gauluji walked beside Graeme Stone Hammer, and also looked at the city of Oka in the distance, the towering city walls surrounding the foot of the mountain, the well-planned and well-arranged houses in the city, and the magnificent mountaintop. The palace, and the magical aura emanating from the entire city.
He murmured, "It's a great city."
Hearing Wild Lion's praise of Oka City, Graeme Stone Hammer raised a smile on his face, and he puffed up his chest as if he had been praised: "Of course, the greatness of Oka City is beyond doubt."
He recalled the magic tower underground, and then said: "And what you see so far is still on the surface. Oka City is even more incredible than you imagined. Here it is like spring all year round, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. And the underground..., um , Forget it, you will know later."
"Hey! What's that underground? Don't you know that half-talking is annoying?!"
"Leave the surprises to yourself to discover, hahaha."
"Damn..."
"..."
Moving forward amidst laughter and laughter, finally, the triumphant army approached the city of Oka and stepped onto the stone bridge across the moat. The triumphant army puffed up their chests and showed their fullest posture to the welcome citizens on both sides.
The strong warriors with their heads held high, the troops marching in order, the national flag waving in the wind, and the bloody smell blowing their faces, all of these show that this is a strong army.
When they reached the middle of the bridge, Graeme Stonehammer waved his hand back, and the soldiers understood.
More than a dozen soldiers came to the middle of the army. There were more than 20 large ox carts pulled by yaks in the middle. Tell everyone these vehicles weigh a lot.
"Open!"
The soldiers took their positions, and following the commander's order, the soldiers tore off the raincloth covering the ox cart to reveal the contents of the cart.
Immediately, a bloody smell rushed over, and the eyes of the onlookers widened.
I saw that every bullock cart was loaded with the corpse of an extraordinary beast, and the smallest corpse was comparable to a room. The sharp claws, the solid scales, and the coercion that remained even after death all told people The power of an extraordinary beast.
Although the extraordinary beasts are powerful, they still turned into corpses for no reason other than the fact that the army of the Forsyth Kingdom is stronger than them!
"Welcome heroes!"
"..."
After a brief silence, the crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the waves of sound soared into the sky.
On the city wall, when you saw the cheering crowd, you couldn't help but smile. These crowds were of different races. There were ogres taller than a floor, and goblins as tall as an adult's waist. Regardless of race, Regardless of age or gender, there was a common cheer from all.
This is the Kingdom of Forsyth! A common home of many races!
Amidst the warm cheers, Graeme Stonehammer led the team to the bottom of the city wall, and all the soldiers looked up at the prime minister of the kingdom on the city wall.
Under the expectant eyes of all the soldiers, Ergo blessed himself with the sound amplification technique, and took a step forward: "Residents of the Kingdom of Fersai! Now, standing in front of you are the kingdom warriors who have returned from conquering the Mirkwood! They In the dark forest full of dangers, we fought for the future of the kingdom, defeated countless powerful enemies, and won the victory for the kingdom!"
"They are heroes! They are our relatives..."
The impassioned speech pushed the atmosphere to the peak, the crowd broke out into more enthusiastic cheers, and the smiles on the faces of the soldiers became wider. At this moment, all the hardships and difficulties experienced in the jungle turned into pride in their hearts.
A troop of harpies flew over and sprinkled flower petals symbolizing celebration and victory. Amid the cheers and rain of flower petals, the triumphant army stepped into the city of Oka and walked across the central avenue.
A huge blood-colored lion walked in the front of the team, second only to Graeme Stonehammer, the well-known number one warrior in the kingdom. Naturally, the blood-colored lion also received a lot of attention.
A jackal child exclaimed: "Look! That lion is so big! So handsome!"
Hearing the child's praise, the Blood Clan Lion couldn't help but feel complacent, and glanced at the exclamated wolf-man child with satisfaction: Yes, you're quite discerning.
"Well, the lion is also a captive. It is Lord Graeme's pet."
Uh, hateful brat, I can't bear to...
After an hour, the triumphal ceremony was over, and then came the popular victory celebration. Soldiers will enjoy food, wine, and cheerful singing and dancing performances in Oka City.
Amidst all the noise, Ergo's voice accurately reached the ears of Graeme Stone Hammer and Gaulky: "Let's go, Your Majesty is waiting for you at the Red Castle."
Leaving the celebrating crowd, an orc and a blood lion walked up the central stairs, passed through the villa area, and came to the gate of the palace.
As soon as he came to the palace, the blood-clan lion-Gauluji noticed something strange. The concentration of magical energy here was too high, more than three times that of the outside world.
"This... what's going on with the energy here?"
"If you have a chance, you will know," Graeme Stonehammer shrugged, "Let's go see His Majesty."
The blood lion, shocked in his heart, followed the orc all the way, stepped over the heavily guarded gate of the kingdom, passed through the garden area, and came to the front of the Red Castle.
"Wow~," Like an ant looking at a tree, the blood lion opened its mouth wide at the huge crystal pillar outside the Red Castle.
Graeme noticed this scene and did not laugh at the blood lion's shallow knowledge. After all, the grandeur of the Red Fort is recognized. Even the strong from the prosperous southern part of the mainland would be shocked by this giant building when they saw the Red Fort for the first time. Not to mention other people.
Without delaying too long at the gate, an orc and a lion entered the gate of the Red Castle.
When you enter the door, you can see the end of the hall lined with stone pillars on both sides. On the giant throne above the nine steps, a red dragon bathes in the light beams from the dome, majestic and luxurious.
