Morales' movements became slower and slower. No matter how hard she struggled, the enchantment seemed to be as stable as a rock and showed no signs of collapsing.
Queil knew that this enchantment was an enlarged version of the "Ice Sorrows." It was originally a "prison" for the members of the Dragons who had committed crimes. To create such an enchantment, even a lord would need three days to prepare.
At this moment, the crystal cannons and infantrymen of the Eiffta camp were no longer the main characters of this battle. The pitiful soldiers of Enrique City were also completely ignored. The meaning of this war was no longer about the struggle of human forces.
Among the five dragon lords, one of them had her mind eroded by a demon without knowing it … This situation meant an unknown fear for the other four lords: Were they eroded by the demon? Were their own people eroded by the demon?
What if they went back to investigate and found out that something was wrong with them?
No one said these words, but the emotions brewing in their hearts had spread.
They adjusted the strength of the enchantment. This enchantment not only had the effect of confinement, but it could also quickly disintegrate the elemental energy in the enchantment. Therefore, Morales was soon unable to use any spells. After struggling to no avail, she finally exhausted herself and stopped.
Her eyes were still glowing purple, but she did not look at the four Dragons in front of her. Instead, she looked straight at Roddy at the top of the Magic Tower not far away. At this moment, after confirming that everything was safe, Roddy finally jumped down from the top of the tower and walked to a place not far away from the enchantment.
"It seems that the demon's hatred for you is not ordinary."
As the lord of the Dragons who was most familiar with Roddy, Victor took the initiative to speak at this moment. Roddy nodded. He first gave a simple salute to the lords of the Dragons and then explained, "When the demon gate was dismantled, the guy from the Demonic Plane should have remembered my appearance. Now it seems that the demon who eroded Lord Morales should be someone familiar."
The demonized Morales opened her mouth at the approaching Roddy and expressed her hatred with a hissing sound. The spherical barrier was continuously struck by her sharp claws, but not a single crack appeared. When the other feudal lords saw this scene, they turned to look at Caio. Caio had boasted about the battle to close the Demon's Gate many times among the Dragons, making the other Dragons think that Caio had done it alone. But this scene clearly proved that the closure of the Demon's Gate was closely related to Roddy. Otherwise, Morales' primary target would have been Queo. Why would he hate a human so much?
The Helsinki Magic Tower activated its enchantment, and the Grand Arcanist Edith created another invisible barrier in the sky. The Green Dragon Lord, who was grimacing in pain, suddenly knelt on the ground with a pale face. After struggling for a while, it suddenly flipped backwards and lay inside the enchantment, completely unconscious.
"I've tried my best to cut off the space-time connection of the barrier. This way, I can slightly prevent the mental invasion from the other plane."
Edith's explanation made the feudal lords narrow their eyes. This was not something an ordinary character could do. Human mages were still a distance away from mastering space-time spells. Only the feudal lords and elders among the Dragons could have this ability.
And Edith belonged to Roddy's force. This allowed Roddy, as a "human," to have the same weight in the meeting of the feudal lords of the Dragons. He was no longer an ant that could be ignored like Charles II.
Caio was very unhappy about this. Although he did not want Roddy to have such a position, the main problem at the moment was the "betrayal" of Morales. He pointed at the unconscious Green Dragon Lord and said, "In this situation, I'm afraid we have no other way to deal with it."
The Dragons' way of dealing with demons was very straightforward. The Shadow Dragons were the most straightforward example.
"To prevent the demon from infecting more Dragons, Morales must be executed," Caio said gloomily.
Quao said with a gloomy expression. Such a proposal should be able to reach a consensus. He glanced around. The crystal dragon Crupus narrowed his eyes, and Victor frowned without saying a word. Pukatos said bluntly, "Quao, it's easy to kill a lord, but how do you know how many green dragons are in the same situation?"
"The Shadow Dragons are an example. There is no room for compromise in this situation. "
Quaio's method was simple and crude. He used the same method he used against the Shadow Dragons: eliminating all the green dragons to prevent the demons from affecting the Dragons as a whole.
"I have something to say."
At this time, the Dragons didn't speak, but Roddy's voice abruptly interrupted Quao. The latter was shocked and angry at the same time. He stared at Roddy with a sharp gaze. "You have no right to speak here! Humans. "
However, Crupus raised his eyebrows. "Quaio, if he hadn't told us about Morales' situation in advance today, you probably wouldn't have been able to go back."
"This is not just about the Dragons. Roddy is the leader of Efta and the future representative of the entire Kingdom of Karen. Why can't we listen to him?"
Victor also stood up. At this time, Black Dragon Herrlöw Pukatos shrugged. "There's no loss in listening to him, is there?"
Three to one. The other lords unanimously stood on Roddy's side. This situation made Quaio suddenly feel an unprecedented pressure. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he remained silent.
Seeing that Quaio had shut up, Roddy bluntly said, "I learned from Lord Victor that the proposal to wipe out the Shadow Dragons many years ago was put forward by Lord Quaio. At that time, Lord Crupus and Lord Victor opposed it, but Lord Morales chose to support it. Including Lord Quaio and Lord Pukatos, this proposal was finally passed, and it led to the end of the Shadow Dragons. "
This was not a secret. The Shadow Dragons had completely disappeared, so it was not a problem to talk about it now. However, there was a very important message in Roddy's words: The green dragons had always lived in seclusion. Why would they clearly support the elimination of the Shadow Dragons in this matter?
"Let's not talk about the process. The result now is that the Dragons have forever lost the lineage of the Shadow Dragons. And now, Lord Quaio said that the green dragons should also be dealt with in the same way. If — I mean, if this proposal is also passed, then how many Dragons will be left on this continent in the future? "
"If the Dragons are allowed to be corrupted by the demons, then the consequences will be even more unimaginable!" Quaio frowned and retorted, "Will you only be satisfied when the Dragons become the demons' puppets?"
This was also something that the other lords were worried about. As the highest combat power, the Dragons were of the same level. No one could command the other. Once an entire clan rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable!
There were red and green dragon fledglings tied up by ice chains on the ground. There were more than a hundred of them. Their faint hissing made Quaio's words seem even more serious. But Roddy shook his head. "Perhaps the lords see things differently from me when they stand at the same level as the Dragons. But from a human's point of view, the biggest purpose of the demons' invasion of the Dragons may not be to control a certain Dragons, but to create chaos.
"They hope that when they come here, there will be no unified resistance on the entire continent. And in order to achieve this goal, the demons' primary goal is to create cracks within all the 'alliances.' "
These were the words of an outsider. The few lords were not stupid. They also suspected whether there was an external force driving the cracks, but as lords, they had to be involved in all kinds of struggles. Even if they were demigod level experts, even if they knew that someone was a "traitor", the "traitor" wouldn't stick that title on their head. Rashly suspecting someone could easily lead to even greater conflicts and contradictions.
Roddy stood outside the circle of Dragons and pointed out this point. In fact, he was the one who said "the emperor is naked" … Because regardless of whether the lords found the "traitor" or not, the cracks between them had been widening to the point where it was now.
In other words, no matter how Morales was dealt with, the demons had already succeeded.
"The Shadow Dragons have disappeared. If the green dragons also perish because of this, it would be equivalent to cutting off one-third of the high-end combat power on the continent in the future. I think the demons would be happy to see such an outcome. "
Roddy pointed to Morales. "Being invaded by the demons is not incurable. Now that the cause has been confirmed, we just need to find a way to deal with it. If you start a massacre because of this … Lord Queo, then I have to suspect your motives. "
This was obviously a suspicion that Queo was the so-called "traitor." The latter laughed out loud, then glared at Roddy and said, "You suspect me? What right do you have to suspect me? "
"Queo, now that things have come to this, I think it is necessary to verify it."
Viktor pointed to the small magic circle next to him that was used to verify Morales's identity. "All the dragons present, including me, should undergo a test."
"This method has not been used on the Shadow Dragons before, but it has indeed been proven to be effective. To tell you the truth, Queo, I regret agreeing to your proposal. "
Pukatos walked directly to the magic circle and pointed to his feet. "I am willing to lead by example to confirm that there is no problem with our decision-making level."
"Pukatos? Why did you listen to him? "
Queo was a little confused. The "space-time rift" that he promised them was not a cheap resource. What charm did Roddy have to make them stand on the side of the humans?
"Queo, the problem lies in the 'space-time rift.'" Crupus raised his hand and pointed. The magic circle used to verify the bloodline was quickly activated. The pale yellow light that symbolized the Earth Dragon lit up in circles. Until the end, it still maintained its original purity. This meant that there was no problem with Pukatos' identity. After Pukatos walked down the magic circle, Crupus walked up to him and continued, "The sudden appearance of the 'space-time rift' may be a trap from the Demonic Plane. We strongly suspect that prolonged contact with the special space-time rift will eventually lead to the invasion of the demons. "
