Luther looked at the two people in front of him in confusion, but Merlinsera obviously didn't want to talk about it in front of him. She stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk …"
Roddy knew that she was unhappy because of some bad memories, so he didn't ask Luther any more questions. He waved his hand and asked Erwin to take him away. He then stood up and chased after Merlinsera.
Merlinsera didn't go far. It was already late, and the rain was drizzling. She stood beside a tree at the edge of the village and stared blankly at the dense water vapor. Roddy didn't know what to say when he came over. In the end, he chose to stand silently behind her in the rain.
"Thank you," Merlinsera suddenly said.
Merlinsera suddenly said, "I thought you would ask a few more questions."
"I do want to help you, but it depends on whether I have the ability or not. If I had Augustine's ability, I would definitely ask. "
Roddy let out a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as Merlinsera didn't get into a dead end because of hatred.
Merlinsera's pursed lips relaxed. After experiencing life and death and making the decision to become a mortal, her state of mind was much more stable than before. Therefore, after taking a few deep breaths, Merlinsera turned around and cast a Soundproofing Barrier with a wave of her hand. She said casually, "You're my only friend, so I don't want to hide this from you. Now that I think about it, I've never told anyone about these things. Just treat it as a story … "
Roddy knew that this was related to the secrets of the Shadow Dragons, and it was also related to the almost extinction of the Shadow Dragons. Therefore, he nodded solemnly. "I swear I won't tell anyone."
Although it seemed unnecessary, Roddy's solemn and serious attitude warmed Merlinsera's heart. She paused for a moment and slowly explained the cause of the Shadow Dragons' destruction.
It all started from the research of Merlinsera's father, the chief of the Shadow Dragons, on an ancient magic book. After a serious accident during an experimental spellcasting 120 years ago, her father began to research a very secretive spell as if he was obsessed with it …
"He didn't tell anyone what he was researching, not even me." Merlinsera took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and slowly opened them again. "But it's obvious that the other Dragons are against these experiments. Six years ago … when father's experiment was about to come to an end, the chiefs of the other Giant Dragons all came knocking and massacred the Shadow Dragons' base. "
"After that, the entire Shadow Dragon Clan was branded with a label. In human terms, this label was' traitors'."
Merinse pointed at Teflin, who was resting under the watchful eyes of the soldiers in the distance. "That guy said that the purple and cold flame was a product I saw by chance in my father's lab. I think it's true."
"So … the other Dragons are doing their best to stop the Shadow Dragons —"
"It's not to stop them. In fact, the Dragons have long been at odds with each other. If it's just to stop them, why kill all the Shadow Dragons?" Merlinsera sighed. "It's just an excuse. But I'm curious as to why all the other Dragons are on the same side. But father didn't tell me anything. He didn't leave a single clue. "
"Later on, I also wanted to find out what my father had been researching. He had hidden laboratories all over the continent, but every time I activated the spell formation he left behind, the magical waves it emitted would immediately attract other dragons nearby to hunt me down." Merlinsera couldn't help but rub her shoulder. "Once, I even encountered the Red Dragon Lord and was almost killed there …"
"So … not only do you want revenge, but you also want to find out what your father discovered that caused this disaster, right?"
Roddy could understand her feeling. If he were in the same situation, he probably wouldn't be willing to be kept in the dark either.
Merlinsera nodded and reached out to remove the Silence Barrier. She walked back to the village. "That guy seemed to have something to say."
"I've learned most of what I need to know. Let's think about how to deal with this problem first." Roddy shook his head. "Our first goal is to deal with the Undead. When things are over here, we can go back and ask those guys one by one."
Merlinsera knew that Roddy seemed relaxed, but he was actually under a lot of pressure in Tasman. After all, Efta was fighting on two fronts, and nothing could go wrong on either side.
Hopefully, Efta's fortress could withstand those attacks …
Unknowingly, she had completely put herself in Roddy's shoes to view this war.
… …
"Damn it!"
Sally slammed a battle report onto the table, and her entire body was trembling with rage. "How could Charles II be fit to sit on that throne? How dare he stand with the Orcs! "
Since the beginning of the war, Eiffta's defense line had maintained an "undefeated" status. However, ever since the fortress was almost lost and more than 600 people died in the battle, the Orcs seemed to have taken drugs and launched an even more ferocious attack. The battle reports that came from the frontlines like snowflakes made Sally feel pressured. The news of two small fortresses being breached made her realize how terrifying the Orcs were …
What on earth gave the Orcs such a powerful siege ability?
Combining the human-style scaling ladders, siege vehicles, and the precise attack routes of the Orcs, it wasn't difficult for her and Knight Titus, who was in charge of commanding, to guess who was behind this.
But cursing was useless now. More than 5,000 nobles, soldiers, and civilians had died. The cruelty of war made Sally feel the pressure that local battles could never bring. She was deeply aware that every order she gave dictated the fate of countless people. The huge pressure made the young Sally sleepless all night, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Knight Titus, what do you think?"
Her eyes were fixed on the sand table, and she wanted to smash the area where the Orcs were.
"The problem now is more difficult … but what we can do is still defend. According to the current estimation of individual strength, if we want to fight the Orcs on the plains, we need at least three times the number of people to have a chance of winning … but now we can't mobilize so many people. "
Titus's voice was steady, and he calmly analyzed the situation. "The Prime Minister's order was to focus on defense, consume their supplies, and let them collapse first. The situation is still stable now, but the Tiru Fortress in the west may soon fall. If it is breached, Elsen City is behind it … "
"Elsen City? Roddy said that he wanted the Orcs to besiege Elsen City. He also said that if the Orc army could be drawn into Elsen City, he would have a way to eliminate all the enemies. "
Sally remembered every word Roddy left behind, and she believed him deeply.
"If Elsen City can share some of the pressure, we can definitely ease the situation immediately. But the Orcs will not give up what is close at hand for what is far away. Their current position determines that they can only attack this area. Unless … "Knight Titus shook his head, and even he felt that it was too unrealistic." Unless we have a strong enough team, we can forcibly change the direction of the Orcs' attack. "
"Efta's Sharp Blade …"
