Chapter 354 353 Mela, No More Dragons

Chapter 354 353. Mela, no more dragons

The war in the north deteriorated faster than Divik could imagine. The elite of the Mage Tower, a large number of magicians, an entire legion, and tens of thousands of people deployed by Vinar could not even last for two days.

In the morning, the Mage Tower reported to the Royal City that they had used summons to repel the infected spirits that were several times larger than themselves. Solon was jubilant. Soon after nightfall, the urgent news that the city was about to fall made everyone who had just breathed a sigh of relief feel cold all over.

Amid the nobles' condemnation of Theodore's unsuccessful resistance, Divik remained absolutely calm. He clearly realized that Theodore had done the limit of what he could do - 10,000 soldiers were a drop in the bucket for Vinar, who was like an isolated island. They were facing enemies that were dozens or even hundreds of times larger than them.

The vast northern territories of the empire had lost all contact and could be confirmed to have fallen. The huge population in this vast land...

Divik's scalp was numb.

Even in the most ideal situation, there are still a large number of people fleeing to the wild places where the infected cannot find them, but the fall of the northern border has made the number of infected spirits so large that even the empire cannot resist it with all its strength.

Five hundred and seventy-two years ago, Melias was shaken by the infected from the northern border and eventually fell apart...

Divik clenched his fists. He would never allow the story of the giant owl to repeat itself on Solon.

This is his empire!

The last time he visited the Pope City was because Laurend passed away. Divik secretly rejoiced for the decline of the Church. After another visit, Divik's mood changed greatly and he was no longer happy.

As the first leader to arrive except the host bishop, although he still put the calmness and composure of being an emperor on his face and showed indifference, he was anxious and wanted to ask the people of the Glory Academy in a stern voice why only the Church, Sligo and Solon were present until now.

At this time, Solon's front line received rare good news. The infection in the north seemed to slow down its speed. Several city-states guarding the border did not see any infection during this period.

Although it was unknown what had held back the aggressive spirit of infection, Solon had seized this rare breathing opportunity. Many magicians from various fields of the empire had gathered together because of a strong sense of crisis and obeyed the call of the empire. Soon the front line would be greatly reinforced.

Ravenis of Kodzoun arrived late. Although the leaders of the four major countries gathered, this meeting would be full of variables without the participation of the major families of Mela.

"Ravenis, you are two days late." Noel mentioned casually.

Ravenis, who had always looked down on Noel, the emperor with an extremely absurd style of behavior, snorted undisguisedly: "I am not as idle as you. The vast territory always keeps me busy with countless affairs."

Noel was lying on a recliner at this time, drinking a drink leisurely, and there were maids around him... He was unreliable, but after the appearance of the Spirit of Infection, his series of actions in the country were fast, steady and accurate.

First, he asked respected scholars to come forward to explain the situation, and exaggerated the tragic situation after the fall of the country on a large scale, turning their panic into anger, and then sharing the same hatred.

The Silent One went out to intimidate the land nobles, preventing them from transferring a large amount of grain, and promulgated temporary grain price management regulations.

He personally went to the Mage Academy to talk with the chief magicians and understand the various details of the Infection.

After hurriedly completing all the above, he arrived at the Theocracy as soon as possible to show his importance to the meeting of all races.

But you say he is reliable, to participate in such a meeting, he brought his maid group with him.

These beautiful and well-proportioned maids are all magic and martial arts practitioners. They are the products of Noel's orphan training after he came to power, imitating the Laurende Welfare Institute system.

It has always been rumored that these maids are all Noel's mistresses - of course, Noel does not think he has a mistress. The original words are "Each of them is unique, and my heart belongs to different people."

Noel's maids glanced at Ravenis.

Ravenis looked unhappy and warned sternly: "Their expressions, their eyes, even if they are your mistresses, blasphemy and offense are unbearable, keep them under control."

Antonio saw Ravenis's displeasure and stood up to be a peacemaker - Antonio knew Ravenis's coldness and cruelty. He was able to make the domestic opposition nobles stop so quickly, and he had a lot of blood on his hands.

But Antonio knew Noel better, this absurd emperor, who always did things unconventionally.

Sure enough, before Antonio could say anything, Noel said indifferently: "Tsk, you are still too young to enjoy... Do you know who they look at with cold eyes... It's the kind of cold eyes that look at garbage and hopeless waste, which is really sexy and can make people happier than some potions that Sligo is developing..."

Sure enough, before Noel finished speaking, Ravenis's anger erupted.

"What do you mean?"

Noel widened his eyes and acted very innocent in front of Ravenis who stood up and slammed the table: "What do you mean... Literally."

Devik, who was exhausted by the spirit of immersion, suddenly felt powerless, and Antonio sighed, but had to block between the two.

There was a high probability that Noel's words were sincere. He had always possessed some kind of ancient impulse, an avant-garde, weird habit, and he was never ashamed to show it... It seemed that being despised by the maids was one of them.

But obviously, Ravenis didn't think so.

As the youngest national leader of the four major countries, he was despised for his youth and was criticized by the nobles when he took office. Therefore, "young" undoubtedly touched some sensitive and fragile parts of him, and then the keywords such as maid and contempt were naturally determined by him to be sarcastic.

Noel's maid and Ravenis's royal guards each took a step forward. Although neither side was wearing weapons, Antonio felt that they were ready to practice on the spot because of their eager expressions.

Although Ravenis calmed down after patient persuasion and took the initiative to "forgive" the maids' offense, Noel still had an expression of "yes, yes, you are right", smiling.

Antonio wiped his sweat and sat back in his original position, shaking his head helplessly.

I'm afraid it's hard for ordinary people to imagine that the heads of the four major countries would be like this in private. If there were no nobles and forces behind them, Ravenis would be full of interest in resolving private conflicts between each other with fists.

"Maybe we should talk in detail about the alliance cooperation."

Today's meeting was to confirm the cooperation of the four major countries first, but the sudden move of Ravenis made the atmosphere awkward, and Antonio had to speed up the meeting.

This is not easy...

Lu Yu, who is in the Dawn Territory, got the words of the Church about this meeting in the past two days.

Lu Yu summarized and refined it, probably "The four-party talks are beneficial and important. The parties to the talks have conducted in-depth exchanges on the current situation of the arrival of the Spirit of Infiltration, fully exchanged opinions, and achieved certain positive results in promoting cooperation, but each party has reservations on certain core interests."

To put it simply... they talked, but everyone had great differences, and they could continue to argue about how to make concessions and how much to make concessions...

"Magic Tide, Spirit of Infiltration..." Lu Yu felt exhausted, "It's so hard to develop quietly for a while."

Lu Yu was not surprised at all that this was the result.

In Mostana, Celer launched a massive attack on various tribes. They claimed to be a superior race and burned, killed, looted, enslaved and slaughtered various tribes along the way. Under such bloody facts, each tribe still had its own thoughts after forming an alliance.

As the nominal leader of the alliance, the dragon tribe passively resisted, preserved its strength, and consolidated its position by sacrificing the interests of other races.

The flower crown elves had been "strategically retreating" from the beginning. The strategy they adopted was to drag Celer to death through the long supply line, which was essentially non-resistance.

Bidilis's stupidity just made the newly formed Blue Water Alliance win a hearty victory, which finally stopped Celer's advance.

The Spirit of Infiltration, there is no Bidilis.

Through the intermittent communication between Xia Leim and Roye, Sera has learned why the Spirit of Infiltration has returned. After hearing the official statement released by the four major countries on the negotiation of cooperation, for some reason, she actually understood the feelings of the snow monster.

Sera was extremely pessimistic about the prospects of the alliance, and sighed helplessly: "It's so difficult for the four major countries to cooperate, and the upcoming meeting of the various tribes, haha..."

Sera laughed bitterly: "I can imagine that they will continue to have frictions because of various small issues. Even if the situation in the northern border of Solon continues to deteriorate, they will stubbornly insist on their own interests."

"How to cooperate, to what extent, the circulation and distribution of strategic materials between each other, the selection of people for overall coordination, etc.... No one can be really satisfied."

After saying that, Sera seemed a little sad. She walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and stopped talking.

Lu Yu was puzzled for a while, and suddenly understood her depression.

He spoke for the dragons when they were under siege, and provided shelter for the impoverished dragons against all odds; when the ice crystal elements living in the snowy mountains and the frogmen had a dispute, he worked hard to mediate and promote a friendly agreement between the two tribes; the sirens were willing to give up their activity area near the shore for him, allowing busy ships to pass over their homes; the elves took the initiative to invite him to enter the library to visit the ancient knowledge engraved on leaves; the giant half-knelt, and forged the king's road to meet the giant king with his flesh and blood; in order to satisfy his little curiosity, the essence of the elements rose in the elemental lake, and the brilliant elemental sparks illuminated the earth for a whole night...

All the conflicts were caused by distrust, and the person who made many people willing to believe from the bottom of their hearts was no longer there.

That was something that the four major countries could not obtain with their strong national strength and outstanding strength.

If he were still there, the four major countries would quickly eliminate disputes and prejudices and face the outside world in unison.

If he were still there, the various races would not be stuck in the last days without a sense of crisis before going to the Church.

If he were still here, the future cooperation between the various tribes of Mera would be much smoother.

However, there is no if…

On the day when the glory ended, the fragile bond that maintained the relationship between humans and the major intelligent races also disappeared. Unfortunately, not only the people of the four major countries, but also Lu Yu and Sera realized this at this time.

Thinking of Laurend, the room fell into a brief silence.

Sigrid, who was catching up on history because of the spirit of immersion, was puzzled: "Was there someone like Laurend back then? How did they complete the alliance at that time?"

After asking, she found that Lu Yu, Lulu and Sera shook their heads helplessly at first, and then sighed with regret.

Lu Yu said: "At the end of the disintegration of Melias, the major human resistance forces had long since stopped obeying the orders of the giant owl. They had nothing to lose. The spirit of infection blossomed in various points on the Mela continent, and the original rule collapsed. Countless lives were freed from shackles at that moment. The reason they chose to fight was pure and simple, without any interests."

"Now, the brave men of that year have been baptized by time and have power and wealth. The huge interests involved make them look ahead and behind. No one is willing to let their interests be damaged, so internal friction will become a reality."

Roye told him that if he could see the snow monster again, he hoped to convince him.

"You are very eloquent and will definitely defeat his sophistry!"

Outsiders may think that Roye's request is ridiculous. What can such a dangerous person talk about? It is the right thing to do to kill him directly when they meet.

But Lu Yu read Roye's hesitation-he didn't want to admit that he once agreed with the snow monster's ideas.

At least he didn't want to admit that the snow monster's approach had a slight chance of breaking the invisible chains that were tightly shackled around the necks of every living being. Just like the spirit of infection destroyed the order, it made people follow their own will and formed the most brilliant river of light in the history of Mera, which became the beginning of a glorious era.

"In addition..."

Lu Yu stared at Sigrid's dragon horn: "There are also dragons."

The spirit of infection invaded, Melias collapsed, and the huge Mera was in chaos.

As the strongest race in Mera, the dragon led the flying dragons and dragonborn to stand up.

The small number of dragons used their flesh and blood to exchange precious preparation time for the major races in chaos after the collapse of Melias.

The raging volcanic ridge, the misty mountains, the wolf howling ice field... On every collapsed battlefield, they spewed flames and cast a shadow of destruction for the spirit of infection with their wings that covered the sky.

Unlike the pitiful flying dragons of Celer, the dragons of Mera took the lead!

But...

After the disaster of the infected spirit, the number of dragons has dropped sharply. A large number of crazy dragons left the land that nurtured them in order not to hurt innocent people, while the remaining scarred dragons could not find peace.

The dragon slaying in Sligo was not only participated by the four major countries, but also a conspiracy of every race.

Noel's grandfather and father both wanted to stop the dragon slaying ceremony, but after a long time, dragon slaying has become a culture, and has become a totem engraved in the hearts of every citizen in Sligo. Even as emperors, they cannot face this surging public opinion.

Today, there are no dragons in Mera.

Those symbols of power that brought trembling and fear to the Mera tribes have fallen.

Lu Yu seemed to see the ridges flowing with dragon blood, floating with fire rain, and echoing their roars.

After 572 years, the time for repayment has come.
