May 10th.
While the situation in the Kingdom of Karen was turning upside down, the people near the Royal City were still unaware of it because of the slow transmission.
Not to mention Charles II and the nobles, the Dragons in the Dragon Tower were also unaware of it. Even the Red Dragons did not participate in the first stage of the battle against the Holy Cathedral. Iscar had to stay in the Dragon Tower after the engagement because Queio wanted him to "get to know" Princess Rowling first. But in fact, every time Princess Rowling went to visit the Dragon Tower under the instruction of Charles II, he would find an excuse to leave, obviously to express his dissatisfaction.
But for the elders of both sides, this kind of thing was not a big deal at all. The lord and king had already decided, so there was no room for them to bargain. It was normal for young people to have some emotions, but after weighing the pros and cons, they would eventually accept it.
When it came to this kind of thing, Iscar and Rowling were indeed the same kind of people. But this commonality did not make them resonate with each other. On the contrary, every time Rowling came to the Dragon Tower, she felt very embarrassed. Because not only could she not see Iscar, but she also could not meet the "mentors" of the other Dragons.
Although the princess came and left with a smile every time, no one knew the grievances and sorrow in her heart.
But today, when she came to the Dragon Tower, she was a little surprised. Because when Rowling knocked on the door and intended to enter the laboratory where Iscar was, there was a response from inside. "Come in."
She, who was going to knock on the door and leave, was stunned. Rowling took a deep breath nervously, then reached out and pushed the door open. A handsome face came into view. She had to admit that the charm of the Dragons in human form was really difficult for ordinary people to resist. But Rowling knew that the person in front of her was not Iscar.
The latter was an old man with a hunched back. He did not look young, but the gorgeous silver robe obviously showed that his status was not low. Rowling felt that he was a little familiar. She was stunned for two seconds before she responded, "Your Excellency Crupus, hello!"
This was the lord of the Crystal Dragons, and his status was similar to Queio's. Rowling could not help but greet him carefully, but the latter obviously did not care about this. He directly asked, "Are you looking for Iscar? He went out today. "
This was the answer that Rowling had expected. She smiled formally and said, "Ah, since you're not here, I'll go back first. Your Excellency Crupus. "
She didn't have the right to ask why he was here, and the latter couldn't be bothered to say anything to her. Rowling exhaled after leaving the room, and then walked down the tower. But she did not know that this was the first time since the completion of the Dragon Tower, another Dragon Lord was willing to enter the tower.
In Iscar's laboratory, Crupus stood in front of the window for a short while before a vine extended in through the window. After that, the flower at the top of the vine bloomed, and a faint halo flashed. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a green figure — the Green Dragon Lord, Morales, also appeared here.
"I really don't understand why the two of us have to come here to talk."
Crupus went straight to the point. He shook his head and sighed. "Are you trying to remind me of something?"
The Green Dragon Lord was a female. She wasn't tall in her human form, and her clothes seemed to be woven from leaves. There seemed to be a layer of fog shrouding the surface of her eyes. In response to Crupus's question, she replied in a low voice, "I'm here today to explain the situation to Iscar. Due to the internal affairs of the Green Dragon Clan, we can't find anyone to continue to be a mentor here for the time being."
Her words made Crupus raise his eyelids. "Then why did you call me? Essien is doing well here. "
Crupus knew that the other party was testing him, but he didn't want to express his opinion easily. In this regard, the Crystal Dragon Lord was similar to the Ice Dragon Lord Victor. As a lord, he had to consider the deeper meaning behind it.
However, the Green Dragon Lord didn't have so many concerns. He replied happily, "You and I both know that the current situation where the Red Dragons are leading is not realistic. For tens of thousands of years, there has never been a true leader. Superficial harmony doesn't mean deep unity. The Shadow Dragon Clan is already gone. Who knows who will be the next to be attacked by the group? "
"As long as they don't betray this world, no one will be attacked by the group."
Crupus's answer was very tactful. He didn't deny the first half of the other party's words. In fact, he had already secretly agreed with this point of view.
Morallas continued as if he didn't feel anything. "The space-time rift is indeed very important, but if Queil only uses the space-time rift as a means of unity, I don't think this situation can be maintained. Either the enemy appears soon, or the most suitable situation for the Dragons is to go their own way. "
"You plan to withdraw completely? Aren't you afraid that Queil will use this to suppress you? "
"That's why I came to talk to you, and I'm here." Morallas still sounded like he was talking in a dream. His tone was calm and emotionless. "I've looked for Victor and Pukatos, but obviously, no one wants to expose their intentions before they see the actual action."
There was a hint of mockery in her words. "So, I want to see … if you will treat me like the Shadow Dragons when I choose to stand on the opposite side."
Crupus frowned slightly. "If that's the case, why did you agree to it in the first place?"
Facing this question, the green dragon lord readily admitted, "Perhaps it's because I stayed in the forest for too long and didn't realize the power of the human race. When I realized what kind of influence it would bring to the Dragons, I made my choice now. "
This answer was not surprising. In fact, after the Dragons came to the human world, although they still didn't take these ants seriously, the more contact they had, the more they gradually changed their view of humans. In fact, more of the reason was because of Roddy's shocking actions: he closed the Demon's Gate, killed the ancient behemoth, and solved the problems that the Dragons usually had a headache with.
Once was a coincidence, but twice was enough to make people think. When they understood how the undead and Orcs were defeated, they couldn't help but re-evaluate these ants in their hearts.
Crupus was silent for a few seconds and said, "We still need … an opportunity."
This meant that he didn't agree for the time being, but he had this inclination in his heart. As for what the opportunity was, Morallas didn't ask. She stopped talking, and Crupus also tacitly didn't say much. He stepped to the window and silently disappeared from the green dragon's sight.
On that day, the green Dragons announced their withdrawal from the position of teaching consultant of the Dragon Tower due to "internal reasons." The Crystal Dragon, Ice Dragon, Black Dragon Herrlöw, and Red Dragon expressed their regret at the same time and said that they were waiting for Morallas to deal with internal affairs and rejoin the alliance between the Dragons and the humans.
At this time, the Dragons in the palace still didn't have any news about the frontline. The difference was that Charles II received a message from his own intelligence source: "The Holy Cathedral has made new moves, and they are withdrawing their defenses to prepare for battle."
This was the news that Charles II wanted to see the most for the past few days. He wasn't afraid of Eiffta's resistance, but he was afraid that the other party wouldn't make any moves. This was like a duel of swordsmanship. Before the other party's sword moved, one always had to consider a defensive posture, and once the other party made an attack, the subsequent attack route was basically fixed.
Of course, countless wars had concluded that swordsmanship might be ever-changing, but the combat methods of this era were very limited. Since they had to defend, then they had to seize the time to disrupt the other party's rhythm. Whether it was the process of stockpiling food or clearing the field, they had to start interfering as soon as possible.
This news revealed Eiffta's inefficiency. They only remembered to defend now, what were they doing earlier? If combined with the news from the cabinet, Charles II estimated that the other party must have been busy dealing with internal strife and had no time to care about external military operations.
"In that case, we should speed up the pace …"
He couldn't wait to write to Harrison immediately, asking him not to wait for the assembly to be completed, but to immediately set off and harass the periphery. At the same time, he also asked all the nearby territories to speed up the transportation of food to Rayena in the Bergen territory. Because it was a major hub on the south bank of the Bordeaux River, it could be called a military town.
However, Charles II, who was dreaming of unification with the map, did not know that the news he received was actually "fake information" that Nora had Jonathan rewrite.
Earl Harrison was now squatting in the dungeon of Suvala. The city where he was located had become Eiffta's first line of defense through the Holy Cathedral's expansion.
When the letter was sent, Eiffta's infantry division had advanced another 30 kilometers from Suvala and Dunkel. Not only had they taken down all the towns along the way, but they had also defeated two groups of noble troops who were still unaware of the situation and were gathering at a predetermined location. There were more than three thousand of them.
At the same time, Elsen City began to use all of its production capacity on the production of "trucks". Because Kardashian and the high-ranking mages of the research department had invested in the production line, the production rate instantly increased from one truck every two days to three trucks a day. As soon as each truck came off the line, it directly drove to Paar's territory, pulling along the infantry division reserves who were ready to go, and began to transport them to the Holy Cathedral.
The expenditure of the Rechargeable Crystal had suddenly reached an unprecedented level. But with the various resources and Magic crystal transported by Lachman, plus the more than half a year's worth of reserves, it could be said that they still had spare capacity.
