Palai said in a daze, "Lei Xiang, when did you have another uncle?"
I smiled slightly, and said: "You don't know that, my uncle is the current king of the Dragon God Empire. There are many important people in the fortress. I will introduce them one by one for you later, and I guarantee you will be surprised."
Pa Lai patted his majestic chest muscles, and said: "I am the majestic mountain dwarf king, what character can surprise me? Isn't it the king of the Dragon God Empire here?"
I smiled mysteriously at him and said, "You will know later."
Liwo in the air was a little stunned riding on the dragon's back, and urged his mount dragon to fly back to the top of the fortress.
The city gate gradually opened amidst the creaking sound, and two teams of human heavy armored infantry ran out of the fortress neatly. There were about a thousand of them, each of them was covered with heavy armor, and 100% of their bodies were completely covered by armor. , can only see the outside scene from the gap in the helmet.
"Kick, kick, kick!" Their footsteps were neat and regular, and soon the swallow wings spread out, appearing in front of the dwarves like a trumpet.
I bowed my head and said to Pa, "Let's go, old Pa."
Palai held up his dark electric axe, the strongest weapon of the dwarves, which was forged by the most outstanding dwarf master, Siu Si, and shouted loudly: "Boys, let's go."
As I was walking towards the fortress, I asked Pa Lai, "Since Elder Shui Linglong told you about my marriage, when will they arrive?"
Pa Lai said: "Don't worry, it should be soon. We set off for a few days first. However, their elves have wings, so they shouldn't be too slow. They should arrive in a few days."
While we were talking, we had already entered the Fortress of Stru, and Zi Yan came out to meet him personally, and everyone followed behind him.
I hurriedly said: "Come here, old Pa, let me introduce you. This is my uncle, His Majesty Ziyan, the current king of the Dragon God Empire."
Palai strode forward and said with a loud smile, "Hello, King Ziyan, we dwarves have taken the liberty to come here, so we didn't cause you any trouble."
Zi Yan smiled and said: "Why would you cause trouble? It is our honor that you can come to Lei Xiang's wedding. I am too happy to be in time. Come on, please."
In terms of winning people's hearts, I'm afraid no one can compare to Zi Yan.
Sure enough, Pa Lai was in a good mood after hearing his words, and he laughed and said, "We mountain dwarves have not walked around the mainland for a long time. It is also my honor to meet the king of the Dragon God Empire today."
A deep voice sounded: "Who are you, Palda?" It was Dragon King Jin Gecan Biyin who spoke.
Palai was taken aback, and said: "That's my ancestor, you... how do you know?"
Jin Gecan Biyin snorted, and said: "When I met Palda, he was still a child. We once traveled on the mainland together. Well, yes, you are stronger than him."
Palai was shocked and said, "What? You actually knew my ancestors, you... how old are you?"
I laughed and said: "I just said that you will be surprised. How about it? Now, are you convinced? This is a famous man. As soon as you tell his identity, you will know why he knew your ancestors. As before Elder Shui Linglong said that you all belong to the three powerful clans in ancient times, and he is the king of the dragon clan, Jin Gecan Biyin."
Palai opened his mouth wide, looking at Jin Gecan and Biyin speechless.
Lan'er leaned forward, looked at Pa Lai who was surprised, and said with a smile: "What are you doing with your mouth so wide open, do you want to eat it when you come here?"
Jin Gecan Biyin snorted, and a sound wave rushed towards us immediately.
Palai's whole body was shaken, he came to his senses, bowed and said, "It turns out to be His Majesty the Dragon King, and the dwarves, Palai, are being polite."
Jin Gecan Biyin let out a long sigh, and said: "After so many years, our three major races have all disappeared now. The mainland is already dominated by humans, demons and orcs, so there is no need to be polite."
Zi Yan has been quietly watching their conversation, until now he said: "Dwarf friends come from afar, please come to the city, let me do my best as a landlord."
After seeing Jin Gecan Biyin from Palai, he no longer had the pride of swaggering, and led all the dwarves into the Fortress of Stru.
Zi Yan ordered Liwo to vacate a part of the barracks of the guarding troops as a place for the dwarves to rest, and hosted a banquet for Pa Lai.
There are two tables for the banquet, Zi Yan, mother, Pan Zong, Jin Yin, Jin Gecan Bi Yin, Lan Er, Lan Xuan, Tian Yun, Li Feng, Yue Wuya, Pa Lai, myself and the three girls sat at the table , the three marshals and Baili Xiao sat at a table with the other members of the Holy Dragon Knights.
Bailixiao's eyes often met with mine, but he hadn't had a chance to talk to me. Judging from his expression, he and Kelan should be developing well.
Probably because of Jin Gecan Biyin's presence, Pa Lai's drinking was much more refined than when I was fighting with him last time, and he drank neither too fast nor too much.
After thirty days of drinking, Zi Yan said: "Lei Xiang, now you should explain to everyone what is going on with the Elf King?"
Following his question, all eyes were on me.
Jin Gecan Biyin nodded and said: "Yes! I just wanted to ask you, how did you become the king of the elves, you are not an elf. And as far as I know, after the number of elves has decreased, they have long since The ancestral rule that the elf king ruled the whole clan was cancelled, and the elders elected by the elves from all races were unified to lead it. If it wasn’t for Pa to call you the elf king, I really couldn’t believe it was true.”
I sighed in my heart, I can't tell the truth, I can't tell everyone present that I am the inheritor of a first-level god! It seems that I can only make up a lie.
Thinking of this, I said: "Actually, it's just a coincidence. At the beginning, I accidentally encountered the demons who stole the treasures of the elves, so I helped them snatch them away. Later, I helped them get back some other treasures. These treasures are very important to the elves. After getting back all the treasures, they insisted on worshiping me as their elf king, and I had no choice but to agree."
Palai laughed and said, "The treasure you mentioned refers to the heart of water, so you really helped them find it. No wonder those old fellows recommended you as the elf king."
I glared at him, exerted a little force on my foot, and kicked out a weak energy to hit Palai's leg.
I don't know how much he knows, it would be bad if he missed it.
Pa Lai was hit, and frowned, knowingly did not continue.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and I vaguely heard someone shouting: "I know she is inside, you let me in, if you stop me, I will not be polite..."
Who is so courageous that Zi Yan dares to rush here
Zi Yan's face darkened, and his eyes turned to Liwo.
Liwo stood up knowingly, suddenly there was a bang and a few screams outside, as if someone was fighting.
Rivo's expression changed, he turned and walked out the door.
"Crack, boom!" The main entrance of the hall was shattered and fell heavily on the ground.
Almost none of us present were weak, and the dragon riders sitting on the tables outside all stood up, with angry expressions on their faces.
A figure flashed, and a man in casual clothes appeared in front of the crowd. He had a look of grief and indignation, and his clothes were damaged in several places, which should be caused by the fight just now.
This person is none other than Riva's only son, Riva the Dragon Knight. My heart trembled, and I turned to look at Ziyan.
Zi Yan's face turned pale, and she lowered her head.
Riva seemed to only have Zi Yan in his eyes, turning a blind eye to everyone else.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyes moved directly to Zi Yan's body, and he shouted tremblingly: "Zi Yan, Zi Yan, it's really you. As soon as I heard that you came back, I immediately..."
With a snap, Riva was slapped out by the furious Riva, and hit the wall beside him heavily.
"You bastard, who told you to come here? Someone, drag him out for me."
Zi Yan said coldly: "Wait a minute." He stood up, with a calm face, and said lightly: "Marshal Liwo, is he your subordinate?"
It could be seen that Zi Yan was really angry.
In front of so many people, especially the leaders of many ethnic groups, Riva's performance made him too embarrassed to step down.
Liwo's whole body was shocked, and he fell to his knees with a thud: "Your Majesty, he is the only son of the minister. It was the minister's lack of education that allowed him to break in. Please see that I have been loyal to the empire for many years. Spare my son's life." For his son's sake, Rivo no longer cared about face.
Zi Yan said in a deep voice: "Marshal Liwo, you should know the truth that the military law is like a mountain. Although he is your son, he trespassed on important places, so he should..."
"Wait a minute." I stood up and said to Ziyan: "Uncle, please let me handle this matter. Riva is my senior, he came here because of me, so don't blame him He's gone, and it's time for me to clarify some things with him."
Zifeng beside Ziyan also stood up, whispered a few words in Ziyan's ear, I listened intently, he seemed to be explaining the relationship between me and Riva.
Zi Yan's lips moved slightly, and he sent me a voice transmission: "He is the only son of Marshal Rive, why would I want to kill him, but he just made me too embarrassed to step down. The Duke has already explained your relationship to me, although you He is a rival in love, but you can just let him go for my sake! After all, Marshal Rive is the pillar of the imperial army, and he cannot be let go."
How could I hurt Riva with nothing but guilt? Nodding slightly, I walked out of my seat and walked towards Riva step by step.
Zi Yan suddenly called out: "Lei Xiang, I'll go with you." She ran to my side, and I saw tears in her eyes.
Riva has been chasing her for so many years, and she felt something in her heart. I squeezed her little hand and walked towards Riva together.
Liwo looked at us nervously, but due to the presence of Ziyan, he could only kneel there with an anxious expression on his face.
Ziyan sighed, and said something to Liwo's voice transmission, Liwo's facial muscles relaxed a little, and he stood up.
Zi Yan said: "Let the young people solve their own affairs, let's continue eating." After speaking, he sat down again, as if nothing had happened.
Ziyan and I walked in front of Riva, and I stretched out my right hand to Riva who fell on the ground.
Riva snorted coldly, and stood up on his own support. His cheeks were already swollen from the beating just now, and a thread of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Ziyan lowered her head and said, "Brother Liva, why are you bothering?"
I was afraid that Riva would take any more drastic actions, so I said in a deep voice, "Let's go out and talk, there are a lot of people here."
Riva glared at me fiercely, turned his head and walked out.
I took Ziyan's cold little hand and followed her out, and I whispered to her: "Yan'er, this matter will be resolved sooner or later, let's make it clear to him today. I know very well that he really loves you, Don't worry, I won't hurt him."
Zi Yan nodded slightly, her face full of embarrassment.
After leaving the temporary commander's residence, Riva stood on the road, glaring at me, his eyes burning with fire.
"Senior Riva..."
"Don't call me a senior, if you have the guts, come with me." After saying that, he turned and ran towards the city gate. What he ran to was the city gate leading to the inland, which was generally undefended.
I sighed helplessly, put my arms around Zi Yan's willow waist and followed.
Soon, we were out of the city gate, and Riva was still running forward, and he didn't stop until he ran across a small hill.
I see what he means, here the fort patrols are invisible.
Riva gasped slightly and looked at me: "Lei Xiang, if you are a man, you can fight me fairly, I don't ride a dragon."
I sighed and said, "Senior Riva, why are you doing this? I know I'm wrong, but Zi Yan really doesn't have feelings for you. She likes me. You should understand that emotional matters cannot Barely."
I have no intention of fighting him at all. With his current skill, even if there are ten or eight of them, it is impossible for me to be my opponent.
Riva was stunned after hearing my words, and turned to look at Ziyan.
Zi Yan did not meet his eyes, bowed her head and said: "I'm sorry, Brother Riva, the sweetheart I told you at the beginning was Lei Xiang. I know that you have been very kind to me these years, you are a good person, maybe I am not suitable for you. You. I'm sorry, but I'm sure you can find someone better than me."
Riva stared blankly at her, and murmured: "Why? Why? I can't compare to him. In terms of appearance, I am not inferior to him, and I am also the youngest dragon knight in the empire. Ah, yes, Did you fall in love with his family background? I just found out in the past few days that he is actually His Majesty's nephew. Is it because of this?"
Ziyan said angrily: "Riva, who do you think I am? I like Lei Xiang for no other reason, just because I like him as a person. I respect you, please be more polite."
Riva laughed sadly and said: "You are polite, what are you talking about now. Lei Xiang, let me ask you, why did you take away my most beloved person? You already have Zixue and you are still not satisfied, so you still want to take me away." Zi Yan."
His words made me feel sad for a while, but it's hard to explain things like feelings clearly. I know that he won't listen to what I say now.
Ziyan said angrily: "Riva, listen clearly, I have never belonged to you, I used to belong to no one except my parents, but now, I am about to marry Lei Xiang, he is my beloved man, and He is about to become my husband, my person and my heart belong only to him. Don't have illusions anymore, we came out today to make it clear to you."
Riva looked at Zi Yan in despair, and said infatuatedly, "Zi Yan, are you really that heartless?"
A trace of unbearableness flashed in Zi Yan's eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not unfeeling, we've never had any feelings before, never before, and never will in the future."
Riva staggered back a few steps, the blood on his face faded.
I took a step forward and sighed: "Senior Riva, I'm sorry, I really can't let Ziyan go. I love her deeply just like you."
The despair in Riva's eyes gradually turned into monstrous hatred. He clenched his fists and walked towards me step by step.
Zi Yan stood in front of me and said, "What are you going to do?"
Riva said bitterly: "Ziyan, you stay away, this is between me and him."
I pulled Ziyan aside and whispered to her: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, don't you believe in my strength?"
Zi Yan nodded slightly, and stepped aside.
Riva said coldly: "Lei Xiang, you took Ziyan away, do you have the guts to accept my challenge?"
Riva was not like this originally, because of Zi Yan, hatred blinded his reason.
I sighed secretly in my heart, and said: "Senior Riva, I am no longer the Lei Xiang I was back then, there is no need for conflict between us."
Riva yelled angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to marry Ziyan, you have to pass my test first." He rushed forward, quickly shot in front of me, and punched me on the chest .
The speed he was proud of before is so slow in my eyes now, and I can clearly see every change in him.
I had no intention of winning at first, and seeing his fist approaching me, I didn't dodge it. The mad god fought quietly, my whole body was full of golden light, and I let his fist hit my chest.
The energy condensed by Riva exploded in front of my chest, I was only slightly shaken, his strength was not enough to break my protective grudge.
With a bang, Riva backed up a few steps instead, his face was flushed, obviously his blood was surging due to the force of the counter-shock.
"Stop it, Senior Riva, you can't be my opponent, I've already said it, I'm no longer the former Lei Xiang."
Riva stared at me dumbfounded, his eyes were full of disbelief, he suddenly yelled: "No." Fittingly, his body exuded a silver fighting spirit, and countless fist shadows emerged from his hands, attacking me every part of the body.
I relied on my mind to control my hands, transforming into palm shadows all over the sky to meet his attack, every punch he struck was caught by my palm, and I completely dispelled the grudge he sent out with all his strength.
If I wanted to kill him, I could do it with any move in the Mad God Fist, but I didn't do that because I always felt guilty towards him. I waved my arms, defusing his attacks again and again, allowing him to vent, and the sound of vigor and energy colliding continued to be heard in the air.
Riva's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, he used all his strength in each blow, this kind of attack lasted for a full meal, his strength became weaker and weaker, with such a full attack, he was already at the end of his strength.
If this continues, I'm afraid he will die of exhaustion. I burst out with vindictiveness all over my body, shocking him back a few steps.
"Stop it, senior. Do you think it's interesting for us to fight like this? Even if you can beat me, so what? Can you win back Ziyan's heart? You can't."
Riva's clothes were already soaked in sweat. He looked at me panting heavily, his face turning red and then white. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell limply.
Zi Yan walked behind me: "You killed him?"
I shook my head and said, "Is there any deep hatred between me and him? How could I kill him? He just passed out due to exhaustion and anger. Let's go back."
I floated up to Riva, picked him up, and returned to Fortress Stru with Zi Yan, who looked sad.
Back at the Temporary Marshal's Mansion, it was much quieter here, except for Zi Yan and Landis, the rest of the people were there, as if they were waiting for us to come back.
Liwo was pacing constantly in the hall with an anxious expression on his face. When he saw us coming in, he hurried up to meet us.
I handed Riva to his hand, and said: "Marshal Riva, senior Riva is out of strength, please take good care of him. We have made it very clear to him, and he may not be able to accept it for a while."
Liwo checked his son's pulse, nodded and said, "Thank you, it's all dogs who don't know the severity."
Duke Zifeng stepped forward and said, "Marshal, I'm sorry, this..."
Livo shook his head at him, and said: "Master Duke, you don't need to say anything, it's just that my son is unlucky. Didn't your daughter find a better home?" After speaking, he turned around and left with Liva in his arms. out.
Looking at his back with some vicissitudes, I also felt a little depressed in my heart.
The mother stood up and said, "Since Xiang'er has come back, everyone should go to rest. Let you worry."
Tian Yun glanced at me with a smile on his face, then turned around and left with his regiment members. As soon as the seventeen dragon riders left, the hall suddenly seemed empty.
Jin Gecan Biyin dragged Lan'er who was a little dissatisfied and left, wondering if he was going back to the room to create the next generation.
Ziyan returned to Zifeng's side, sat with Zixue, lowered her head and did not speak, Riva must be feeling bad in her current state.
In order to liven up the somewhat depressing atmosphere, I walked up to Brother Bailikui, stretched out my hand to Bailikui and said, "You must be Marshal Bailikui, one of the three great marshals of the empire."
Baili cried for a moment, obviously did not expect that I would greet him, so he stood up quickly, held my hand and said, "Yes, I am Baili crying."
I smiled and said, "I've heard about the marshal's name for a long time, and seeing him today, it really is better to meet him than to be famous."
The expression on Baili's crying face was always serious: "You're welcome." It seems that he has some prejudice against me because of what happened just now.
The three marshals of the empire have always been harmonious, so he will inevitably have some hostility towards me.
I turned my head and smiled at Baili, "Brother Baili, how are you doing, how is Kelan?"
Baili laughed and said with a smile: "She is very good. I really want to thank Brother Lei! We will get married in a few days."
I said happily: "Then I'm here to congratulate you first."
Baili cried and said, "You guys know each other."
Baili laughed a little awkwardly and said: "Yes! Brother Lei and Kelan are friends. We met through Kelan. If it wasn't for Brother Lei, Kelan would not accept me now."
Baili cried and nodded, glanced at me, and said, "Don't disturb your rest, brother, let's go." Then, he turned his head and walked out the door, maybe he wanted to comfort Liwo.
Baili smiled at me with a helpless expression, and said in a low voice: "My elder brother is like this, brother Lei, don't mind, I'll go first."
I smiled and said, "I won't mind. When you and Kelan get married, I will try to drink your wedding wine."
"Okay! Brother Lei must come then."
"Definitely." I watched Brother Bailikui disappear at the door, and then I came back to my senses.
Originally, I was very happy to come back today, and I would soon be able to marry four daughters, and my wish was about to come true, but when Riva disturbed me like this, my good mood completely disappeared.
"Fourth, don't be so sad. People who are about to get married, please be happy. By the way, we have already arranged your wedding room. But everyone agrees that you must wait until the day of your wedding before letting you in. At that time, you will definitely be pleasantly surprised." Pan Zong walked to my side and said with his arms around my shoulders.
I looked at him gratefully, and said, "Please trouble everyone."
Pan Zong said: "Go and take a rest, your room has already been arranged. I'm going out for a while."
I was taken aback and said, "What are you doing?"
Jin's voice came: "What else can we do, why not meet his sister Long. Let's go too."
It turned out that Xin Xin also came this time, no wonder Pan Zong was able to stay so at ease.
Pan Zong said angrily: "Where are you going, don't follow me." After finishing speaking, he ran out in a hurry.
With a flash of gold and silver light, they also chased them out, and amidst the sound of playfulness, they gradually drifted away.
※※※
It has been three days since I returned to the fortress, and I have not been idle. Every day I either discuss the details of the wedding with Tian Yun, or go to the high platform outside the fortress to check.
Ziyan doesn't know where she lives, she only shows up at noon every day, and leaves after having lunch with us.
I looked left and right, and finally, this morning, the army of the Beastman Kingdom arrived and set up camp far away from the fortress.
Although I was eager to see the Beast Emperor, out of respect for Zi Yan, I still didn't leave the fort right away.
Noon finally arrived, and Ziyan brought Randis and Baili to the temporary marshal's mansion.
According to Tian Yun, Rivo has imprisoned Riva, and he doesn't know how he is doing now.
"Uncle." I saluted Ziyan.
"Well, I've already received a report, and I know that the orcs have arrived, and now the demons are missing. Lei Xiang, shouldn't you go over and have a look, and talk to the Beast Emperor about the whole plan?"
His words reached my heart, and I hurriedly said, "I'll be there in the afternoon."
Pan Zong said: "Jinyin and I should go too, our clansmen seem to be here too, just go over and have a look."
Zi Yan nodded slightly, and said: "The wedding will be held in a few days, and this temporary marshal's mansion should also be decorated. Marshal Landis, I will leave this place to you."
"Yes, Your Majesty, everything here has already been arranged, and construction will start in the afternoon."
Zi Yan said: "It must be joyful. This is my nephew's wedding, so it can't be shabby."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as I finished eating at noon, I hurried out of the Stru Fortress with Pan Zong and gold and silver, and went straight to the camp of the orcs.
When we got closer, I could clearly see the majestic momentum of the orc army.
Compared with before, the orc army is not only more well-equipped, but also the tents are arranged in an orderly manner. The patrolling soldiers are all heroic and high-spirited, and they can be seen at a glance that this is an elite army.
There are still follow-up troops arriving, and it seems that the army in charge of logistics has arrived.
Panzong changed back to nine heads, and Jinyin also exposed her two big heads. As soon as we approached, we immediately encountered a group of werewolf soldiers.
When the werewolf soldiers saw Jinyin, they knelt on the ground excitedly. Jinyin was so majestic now, he gesticulated and let them lead the way.
Entering the camp, we went directly to the army tent of the Beast Emperor.
"Prince Rui, Lei Xiang, Wolf King Jinyin, and Snake King Panzong are asking to see you."
When the curtain of the tent was raised, several soldiers from the Wild Lion Legion immediately welcomed us in.
"Haha, you are all here." The beast emperor's vigorous voice came, and he was wearing a brown armor and came up to meet him.
I hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "My son, Lei Xiang, sees my father."
"Good boy, get up."
I stood up, and a figure flashed out from the Beast Emperor: "Big Brother, Second Brother, Second Sister, Fourth Brother." That ring of daggers.
"Third Brother, you're still here. That's great." I grabbed Meng Ke's hands and said a little excitedly.
"Why don't I come when you get married? I'm your third brother after all."
Pan Zong laughed and said, "Okay, our four brothers are finally together again."
The Beast Emperor smiled and said: "From now on, your four brothers will be the pillars of my Beastman clan. With you here, I can abdicate at ease. Kerr, when the peace talks are successful, I will pass on the throne to you after returning. The clan depends on you."
Meng Ke was shocked, and said: "Father, how can this make it happen? You are in the prime of life, how can you abdicate? What's more, I am still young, not enough to convince the public."
The Beast Emperor said kindly: "How could it be? You are my son, not to mention you have several brothers to help you support the scene. Now we Beastmen don't know your name. If anyone dares to resist, we will use thunder to wipe out you!" Although this kind of hegemony is not a long-term solution, you can slowly win over people's hearts. After several years of experience, you have matured, and Father believes that you will be able to do well. Father is already old, isn't it Can't you let me enjoy the blessings for a few days? I have been in power for more than 20 years, and I have not let the orcs decline. From now on, this responsibility will be on your shoulders."
"Father..."
"Okay, don't say any more, I've made up my mind, so be it." Beast Emperor stopped Meng Ke from continuing, he looked around us, and said: "Panzong, Jinyin, although you are all older than me , but since you have become brothers with Kerr, I will call you by your first names. If there is anything wrong with the orc clan, I hope you can lead your clan to help. I am not ordering you as the beast emperor, but as a fierce beastman. I implore you as Ke’s father, can you promise me?”
