Chapter 997 The only Hope
When they arrived at the Dragon Gate, the soldiers paid attention to Aslay's appearance.
Some humans who had served in the Horned Viper for a long time wanted to tear them to pieces on the spot after seeing the iconic wing decorations of Araloth and the Greyhawks.
On the surface, the only disputes between the Great Horned Viper in the old world are the Skaven and Bretonnia, but among the internal actions, there are not many conflicts that broke out on the border of Athel Loren.
The two sides were engaged in secret wars around many locations. From the beginning, the soldiers did not understand why they had a dispute with Aslay. In the end, because they were stained with too much blood, they no longer wanted to ask about the so-called reasons. As long as they saw a person in the Gray Mountains The pointed ears wearing leaf animal skins are a merciless fire bombardment.
The other soldiers who accompanied him didn't think much of Asrai, but the vague palms placed on his waist still indicated that as long as the Gray Eagles did anything inexplicable, they would deal with these guests according to special wartime treatment.
Aralos was also startled by the murderous atmosphere in the military fortress. When Nagaryth communicated with the Witch King, he thought that Asur had not been ready to attack the north because he was not ready yet.
But tens of thousands of them looked like elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. They were lined up neatly with all kinds of military equipment, and a giant dragon was entrenched in the tower, ready to go.
This does not mean that they are not prepared. It is because they are not ready to annihilate Druzi in one fell swoop.
With an uneasy mind, Araloth only hoped that the compatriots who stayed in Nagaryth would not be bewitched by the Witch King to attack Tyran Loch.
The arrangement of just one giant dragon gate is so exaggerated. As for Tyron Locke, who was taken by Adira to marry Imric, the west dominated by Masno and Ablash will only be even more terrifying.
"Speaking of which, why did Ablash appear in Ulthuan, and you actually made a dragon-blood-sucking monster an ally?" Alaros turned around and asked, openly seeking information from Elvis.
Elvis chuckled, ridiculing these obviously prejudiced words.
"If you could have the strength of the Blood Dragon Ancestor, Caledor would also respect you. Unfortunately, after Orion's death, it seems difficult for you to accomplish anything."
The strength of the Blood Dragon Ancestor...
Aralos felt a chill in his heart. As long as the race living in the old world, no one would despise Abolash.
A race will always give birth to one or two monsters that are so powerful that they cannot be described in words, such as humans like Sigma and Gilles. The only possibility for the martial madman Abolash to help is that Caledor has the ability to let him Do this.
"Haha, using dragon's blood as a price for vampires to help, maybe Caledo is not as honorable and proud as he imagined."
When it comes to bad breath, Imric claims to be the best among elves, and Elvis, who has followed the monarch for many years, has also learned something from the monarch. His mastery of verbal sarcasm is that of an Aslay who lives in the forest. Comparable.
Elvis said a long "Oh", "I heard that among the beastmen there is a bloodthirsty monster called Taunos Bronze Bull, which exists as a symbol of Khorne in the mortal world. Sly could also consider exchanging the protection of the Bronze Bull at the expense of the Oak of Era.
If you hate metal products, Morgul is also a good choice. Aslay is probably more familiar with beastmen than vampires. "
Aralos tightened his grip on the reins, knowing that continuing to speak would only make him more depressed. Caledor dared to ask Alberash to help, because he was not worried about being backlashed by this powerful vampire.
But under the same situation, it would be difficult for Asrai to make such a choice, allowing a strong man from the evil camp to be stationed in the core hinterland.
But he also got some information... Alaros observed Elvis without leaving any trace. Caledor was confident in controlling Aborash, although there must be some hidden secrets. With the pride of the blood dragon ancestor, it was impossible to surrender. to anyone.
The only explanation...
Forget it, let’s think about what happens after meeting Her Majesty the Queen first.
With such thoughts in mind, Alalos left the Dragon Gate as quickly as possible while Elvis waved goodbye.
After entering the realm of Avalon, a familiar feeling came from the endless forest.
Avalon is a land that is extremely fertile even for Assur, and lies between Athel Loren and Ulthuan.
This land is not as changeable as Athel Loren. If you go anywhere at will, you may encounter evil spirits and chaotic time. The strong wind of magic is very calm and peaceful.
Compared with the generally fertile plains of Ulthuan, Avalon seems too magical. Wherever you go, you can see cheerful spirits dancing among the flowers and grass, and ferocious beasts and elves live peacefully.
Walking in the forest, the familiar atmosphere made Aslay feel a little relaxed. Nagaryth was a lifeless wasteland, with skeletons and skulls everywhere, and crow messengers flying in the sky in search of death.
The Dragon Gate was built in the standard Caledorian style. It was thick and cold, revealing solemnity and pride, like a giant war machine that never stops.
The ten kingdoms have different styles, but only Avalon can make Aslay feel a little familiar. Maybe it's Asul here. Like Athel Loren's cousin, his hobby is Sun Tree...
The maid who received the news quickly found a group of Aslay. As the lord of Tathan Woodland, Araloth's identity was converted to Asul, which was roughly equal to the Caledor Dragon Prince plus the War Lord.
The Eternal Queen, who believed in the elves as a family, naturally attached great importance to this distinguished guest. She sang songs in a lengthy welcoming procession and threw flowers into the sky to celebrate Lord Tasain's arrival in Avalon.
But Aralos didn't want to waste any more time in the welcome ceremony, so he told the maid tactfully.
It is an honor for us that Her Majesty the Queen values Aslay, but the matter is urgent, and we hope that some red tape will be put aside for the time being. The front line is anxious now, and the Lord of Tasain Woodland has important matters to discuss.
Although the word "negotiation" is not satisfactory to the maids, after all, it means that the status of both parties is close to equality. How can you, a beggar in Athel Loren, have the right to say this.
But looking at Aralos' eager look, he also knew that wasting time on welcoming him would only arouse the other party's resentment, so he simply dispatched a team of silver-helmeted knights to escort the lord of Tasain Woodland to meet Her Majesty the Eternal Queen.
The tedious and lengthy team dispersed, and a group of silver-helmeted knights painted with Elsa's Heart came to Alalos. The refined and powerful aura in their movements surprised him for a moment.
He had also seen Avalon's army, but it was a routine reconnaissance operation to Ulthuan before the battle of Fennuvar Plains.
Judging from the perspective of combat effectiveness, any rider in Aslay can beat these showy knights to death.
But now, the powerful aura of the silver-helmeted knight of Avalon has completely shattered the last trace of illusion left in Aralos's heart.
It turns out that Alarielle is also preparing for war, but because of the tradition of the Eternal Queen not to easily get involved in politics, she has not yet expressed clear support for Imric's actions.
With an inexplicable feeling of disappointment, Araloth ran around Avalon for several days, and finally saw Alarielle in the grand palace of Eden Valley.
The meeting place was not set indoors because of the importance given to Aslay. The Eternal Queen's Palace was very large, and a place with a waterfall as the background and between the grass and the forest was the perfect place to receive guests.
When he saw the Eternal Queen for the first time, the divine power of Elsa, who had not appeared between Aslay for a long time, swept away the fatigue in Aralos's body. His eyes were a little moved, and in a trance, the stunningly beautiful figure of the Queen seemed to be in front of him. Overlapping with a certain His Majesty.
That was Queen Ariel, who was not disturbed by the darkness. She was full of love and care for all things in the forest, and treated the people under her rule like a mother.
Athel Loren has been reincarnated under Elsa's care, allowing all life to exist in a reasonable way, instead of the way it is now where evil spirits are turbulent.
Aralos caressed his chest and greeted him. His tone was not perfunctory or indifferent towards Asul, but his sincerity and respect were undisguised.
"My beloved daughter of Elsa, Her Majesty the Eternal Queen of the Radiant Light of Assur, it is a great honor for my humble servant Araloth to see you."
Alarielle was a little confused. She had inquired about Araloth beforehand, and thought he was a proud and fierce Asrai.
He became famous for his bravery at a young age. After defeating Morgul Shadowboil, he was given the title of God's Chosen Champion by Ariel, and his identity was the Lord of Tarsain Wood. Now that Orion is dead, it is Aslay's undoubted military power. leader.
But such a person actually had such a humble attitude when they first met, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.
Fortunately, the queen did not use her pressure to suppress others. She was quite peaceful and used Elsa's magical power to drag Arallos' shoulders from a distance, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
But something happened again that made the queen even more confused. Tears actually appeared in the eyes of Aralos, who was held up by Aisha's divine power.
"Sir Alaros, what are you..."
The Queen's voice, as clear and quiet as the lake, went straight into Aralos's heart. He vaguely felt something strange in his eyes, so he blinked his eyes several times to cover up the tears, and expressed his apology sincerely.
"I'm sorry, this was all so sudden, and I didn't know how to deal with it for the moment."
Alarielle's ability to empathize is very strong, which is a consistent ability of the Everqueen, and she assumes that Araloth is telling the truth about Orion's death.
She sighed in a low voice and felt sad for this divinely chosen king who had protected Aslay for thousands of years. Compared to Asul and Druzi, Aslay was lucky to have seldom intervened in the elven civil war.
But the dangerous environment and extreme dependence on Orion and Ariel seemed unfortunate.
"The death of Lord Orion is something we never expected. I would like to apologize to Aslay for War Lord Tyrion's actions, and sincerely pray to Elsa that the elves will not kill each other." Will reappear." (End of Chapter)
