Roddy was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he waved at Sally on the Magic Tower. With the help of Edith, the latter descended from the top of the Magic Tower to the ground. When they saw the artifact scepter in the hands of Eiffta's Duke, Roddy's importance in the hearts of the lords increased.
"Duke Eiffta, Sally Lucifron, greets my lords."
She greeted them politely, but her posture was neither servile nor overbearing. After that, she did not say much. She just stood beside Roddy as a witness to this epic moment.
"Thank you, my lords, but I think the situation of the Kingdom of Karen can be put aside for the time being because Eiffta has a very detailed plan for the future. What's important now is … as a human force, I hope to establish an alliance system with the Dragons to ensure that both sides will not be invaded by the demons. Now, everyone has seen the consequences of the demon invasion. If we can't make up for it, I'm afraid the losses in the future will be even greater."
Roddy's answer was obviously beyond the lords' expectations. They thought that "unifying the Kingdom of Karen" would be enough for this prime minister to be busy for a while. In the end, he simply skipped over it as if he did not care about such a result at all. Instead, he raised his vision to the safety of the continent.
He did not say that he represented all the human forces on the continent, but his words implied that he was the leader of the human forces. More importantly, Roddy had the ability to "find and identify the space-time rift", and this ability was something that the Dragons lacked and valued. This made Roddy's status invisibly superior. Now, it was not as simple as "sitting on the same level" as the other Dragons.
However, the lords did not think that there was anything wrong with this. They looked at each other and then happily agreed.
"I used to think that the human alliance was dispensable, but now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid that in the future, we will need your help in many things."
Pukatos was actually the lord who had the least contact with Roddy, but he was more direct. "Don't forget about the 'space-time rift' you promised us."
"I will naturally keep my promise."
Roddy smiled. He had discovered this ability when he was on his way to the Holy Sanctum. He had acquired the "Dimensional Acuity". After leaving the "Space-time Prison", he did not think much of it. He did not expect that this inconspicuous skill would eventually become the key factor that changed the entire battle.
When he realized that something was wrong with some of the space-time rifts, Lord Morlars' reaction made Roddy even more certain of his judgment: even Dragons could be unknowingly influenced by demons.
All of this seemed easy, but it was actually full of danger. If Morlars had been influenced more deeply, perhaps he would have killed Roddy when he first met him. Fortunately, this spiritual invasion was not a complete "control", so Roddy could immediately contact the other Dragons to help him set up the trap after he was alarmed. As a human, he wanted to persuade the Dragons. Of course, he could not do it with just an excuse. He promised to find at least three safe "space-time rifts" for each lord.
Now that everything had been settled, and when Queio was stripped of his position as the "leader of the Dragons", the obstacles in front of Roddy had basically disappeared. So, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to properly define the new situation.
"I hope that the cooperation between Efta and the Dragons will be comprehensive, because only in this way can we have more advantages in the battle against demons in the future. But now is obviously not the right time to discuss this in detail, especially when I hope that the Green and Red Dragons will participate together, but Morlars and Lord Queio … "
As Roddy spoke, he looked at the two of them. Crupus immediately said, "Before we confirm that the influence of the demons has disappeared, I think that Queio and Morlars should not exercise any decision-making power in their race."
"I agree."
Victor nodded, and Pukatos did not have any opinion. He only asked, "Then what do we do now? The Red Dragons' Fledgling Legion and the Green Dragons also need to be monitored. Morlars is more seriously affected, and his people may also be affected. "
After saying that, he glanced around. The members of the Red and Green Dragons who were subdued were looking at him eagerly.
"I have a suggestion."
It was still Roddy who broke the silence. "The meeting will be held in the Imperial City a week later. At that time, I will set up a venue there to ensure that the meeting goes smoothly. In this week, I will also thoroughly investigate whether there are any traces of the demons' invasion within Eiferta's forces. "
On the surface, he was talking about his own arrangements, but in fact, he was reminding the other Dragons to carry out an "internal investigation". Of course, these lords could understand the meaning behind his words. After thinking about it, they all agreed. However, Pukatos was a little puzzled. "There is still some distance from here to the Imperial City. Can your army take down the Imperial City in a week?"
As he said that, Crupus suddenly turned his head to look at the other side. At this moment, everyone was in the illusory territory that he created. Roddy and the others could only see boundless white. But as the crystal dragon lord raised his hand and waved, a blue figure suddenly appeared in the white sky. Kardashian, who had been hovering outside the battlefield for a long time, finally entered everyone's sight.
She had actually arrived outside the battlefield a long time ago and hid her breath. At this moment, she appeared, but she pretended to have just arrived here. After landing around everyone, she first greeted the other lords, then said bluntly, "Eiferta's fleet suddenly appeared at the Imperial City's port. Charles II's guards' resistance was ineffective. Now, the entire Imperial City is under Eiferta's control. I don't know what to do in this situation. Father … Do you need me to do anything? "
Kardashian's acting was really good. She did not look at Roddy from the beginning to the end. She looked like she was looking for Victor to report official business. However, her words answered Pukatos's question just now. The latter was surprised after hearing it. "You took it down just like that? You're fighting on two fronts? "
"Charles II's forces are all concentrated in Enrique City. My fleet and airborne troops will naturally not let go of this opportunity."
Roddy first pretended to be unfamiliar with Kardashian and nodded at her coldly. Then, he calmly answered the question of the Black Dragon Herrlöw.
Although the lords remained silent, Kardashian's timely appearance with this information made them reevaluate Roddy's strength. At any time, the right to speak was determined by strength. Charles II, who could only be a vassal of the Dragons, was really a piece of trash compared to Roddy.
"Then the date of the meeting will be tentatively set for a week later. Let's tidy up the battlefield first." Victor set the tone and looked at the crystal dragon lord. "Crupus, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."
The current illusion had the effect of space-time isolation, so it could slightly reduce the effect of Queo and Morales' mental corruption. However, continuing to release this barrier was not a small burden for Crupus. He smiled bitterly. "Then I guess I can only guard here."
Roddy raised his hand and pointed at the Magic Tower behind him. "The Helsinki Magic Tower also has a space-time array. I think the lords can try to see. If possible, it may be more suitable to let Arcanist Edith solve this task. "
"Oh, I forgot the ability of the High Elves."
Pukatos raised his eyebrows and then looked at the dejected Queo. "In order to ensure your safety, Queo, I think it's better to stay in the Magic Tower than to be locked in this barrier, isn't it?"
"I have no objections."
At this time, Queo was no longer as strong as before. Even if he had a clear mind, he would probably be suspected if he raised any objections at this time because of the "previous record" of demon invasion. So, he simply did not raise any objections.
Crupus and Victor looked at each other and also felt that this method was feasible. Roddy was now on the same side as them. Even if he had any evil intentions, he could not fight against the other three Dragons. Most importantly, it was not suitable to imprison the two lords in any of the other Dragons' forces. A "third party prison" happened to be the best choice.
"Then let's ask Prime Minister Roddy to arrange it. Let's go into the Magic Tower now and confirm the effect."
With a consensus, the subsequent actions were much faster. Morales and Queo, who were locked in the spherical barrier, were controlled by the three lords and floated into the Magic Tower. Edith locked the two of them in the "prison" on the 19th floor and divided the circular area into two halves, so that the two lords had sufficient space to move around.
Morales was more restrained because no one could confirm whether she would "transform" again because of the demon's invasion. Queo, on the other hand, was much more dignified. There were no restraints on his body, and there was a basic table, chair, and bed in the room. He understood that it was already good enough for him to end up like this, so he obediently cooperated and did not say a word.
Here, Crupus closed the illusion barrier outside, while Pukatos and Victor re-used the magic circle to confirm the state of Queo and Morales. It turned out that the space-time isolation effect here was better, and the influence of the demon on the two was much weaker than before.
But the problem was that this influence did not completely disappear.
"We do not expect the problem to be solved immediately. Being able to control the situation now is already the best choice."
Victor glanced at his daughter, who was standing at the side with her head slightly lowered, and then glanced around. "It's not time to be idle. The surrounding young dragons, green dragons, and red dragons have to be examined one by one. We must ensure that there are no members of the demon's invasion."
This matter could not wait. The three lords each planned to begin the examination. In the end, before they walked out of the Magic Tower, an alarm sounded in Efta's camp. Roddy and Sally were stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Edith. The latter narrowed her eyes and said, "There are enemies approaching from the southeast."
"Enemies?"
The three Dragons looked at each other. At this time, what enemy could there be?
