With the help of these two, Brando had reason to believe that Freya's journey would be much smoother, as long as there weren't any major changes in the Erouine Kingdom.
On the other hand, Metisha and Hipamira had bid farewell to him nearly a week ago and were heading to the Planeswalker Training Grounds with the Seven-Pole Dragon Queen, Fusia. According to the Evil Dragon King, they might be able to make it in time for the upcoming adventure. However, Brando had already told the two ladies in advance that if they couldn't make it to the central area of the Dead Moon Sea to meet him after the Training Grounds, Fusia would bring them back to Erouine to help Freya and the princess quell any unrest that might arise in the kingdom.
Because according to Queen Madara, the alliance of the dragons and the Kirrlutz had suffered a huge defeat in East Metz. Although there was no news of how heavy the losses were, the death of Owenlos meant that the dragons had lost their last Dragon King at this moment. Under such circumstances, the only Dragon Queen left was the exiled Fusia. If Fusia were to return at this time, she might really be able to regain the throne of the Dragon Queen.
And if Fusia were to head to Cruz to take on this heavy responsibility, then Metisha and Hipamira would be on the same route as her.
In the end, Andrea and the Silver Elf had to travel with the migrating undead. The only ones left who could complete the mission with Brando were Huang Huo, Fang Qi, and Delfien. Mister Liu also chose to participate in this mission because he had to travel with the Jade Phoenix Queen. As for the people around Fang Qi who originally belonged to the Phantom Chariot, Brando dismissed them. A few elders were handed over to the Queen of Madara for her to monitor.
The only exception was Princess Magadal. Originally, Brando wanted to let the princess return to Erouine with Blanche and find a way to return to the Antoburo Duchy from Erouine. But he didn't expect Andrea to suggest bringing the princess along. Princess Magadal also expressed her wish, and it was said that it had something to do with her background. Brando couldn't reject this reason and had no choice but to agree. That was why she appeared in this team.
In fact, ever since the Nun Princess obtained the Book of Gaia, Andrea and her Goddess of War colleagues had been taking turns to teach her how to use the power of the 'Creator'. Although the princess had almost never participated in a real battle, the instincts and memories of the other personality buried deep in her soul were still present. Her learning progress was quite good, and she could be considered to have the strength to protect herself.
Brendel did not think too much about the princess's combat prowess, but he did not reject her because he had promised Blanc. Besides, he was also very curious about the secrets of the Silver Plains.
The withered and dilapidated scene of the City of the Undead seemed to have affected the mood of the people in the team. Except for the argument, not many people spoke along the way. Fang Qi pulled out the Sacred Jade Sword from the scabbard from time to time and carefully wiped it, looking a little bored. Mr. Liu didn't say a word, and his expression was solemn, not much different from usual.
Both Princess Magadal and Huang Huo seemed to have a lot on their minds. The former was obviously worried about her background, while the latter was worried about the legends of the Twilight War that she had heard over and over again.
In any case, this princess of the Jade Phoenix bloodline didn't forget her identity. What she cared about, besides her own cultivation, was the future of the Nine Phoenix Kingdom.
Soon, the team arrived at the Dying Moon Temple. This temple looked even more shocking than a few days ago. This temple used to be the tallest and most majestic building in the City of the Undead, but now there was almost no sign of the solemn and sacred aura of the past. The main body of the temple had almost collapsed, leaving only a thin wall that was on the verge of collapse, as if it would collapse at any time if a gust of wind blew past.
As far as the eye could see, there was an endless stretch of ruins. Only a small number of side palace buildings could survive, but most of them were severely damaged. There were either terrible cracks on the surface, or there was a problem with the internal support structure. Although the whole building didn't seem to have any problems on the surface, the foundation was actually faintly tilting in one direction.
The side hall where the Meditation Sanctum was located was one of them. Because Queen Madara had long expected the fall and descent of the Goddess of the Undead, she had reinforced the place where the teleportation circle was built. Therefore, the building where the Meditation Sanctum was located was the best preserved part of the temple at this moment.
The Black Knight was patrolling the periphery of this temple at this moment. This was the central area where the Goddess of the Undead descended, but because of some powerful undead creatures, there were the least number of descendants of the Diablo here. In fact, after a few days of fierce fighting, most of the descendants of the Diablo were driven to the east of the city. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many refugees here.
Because Queen Madara was accompanying them, the Black Knight turned a blind eye to Brando and the others, and the group quickly filed into the Meditation Sanctum. The altar that Delfien saw a week ago had been completed. Brando walked through the courtyard of the Meditation Sanctum and saw the portal. It looked similar to the Door of Flame in the Holy Cathedral of Fire. A circular arch stood on the altar, and the arch was covered with various patterns. With Brando's Elementalist level, he obviously couldn't understand a word of this level of magic runes. However, most spatial magic was similar, so it wasn't surprising that it was exactly the same as the portal in the Holy Cathedral of Fire.
He noticed that at this moment, the figures of the undead and the bear goblin craftsmen that he saw a few days ago could no longer be seen around the altar. There were only twenty-two wizards in black robes in a circle, each holding a bone staff. These people were obviously the wizards who would be in charge of the activation of the magic array later.
There was no peerless master like the Great Sage of the Cruz Empire in Madara, so to activate a teleportation array of this level, they could only rely on numbers. Brando could see at a glance that these black-robed wizards were all Liches, and each of them had at least the strength of Elemental Activation or even Elemental Enlightenment.
The strength of these Liches was not at the top in Madara, and they barely reached the upper level of combat power. Queen Madara had left them here, obviously with the idea that in case of an accident, they could be abandoned. From this point, Brando once again felt the way the undead did things — cold and direct.
In fact, Brendel had already experienced long-distance teleportation when he was outside of the Elemental Border. The Teleportation Gate built by the undead was a directional Teleportation Gate, which was much more stable and safe than the one Medissa and the others used in Rushta. It was not something that could be compared to the Teleportation Gate that he used to pass through the Space Turbulence.
Therefore, Brando did not appear to be nervous, and walked directly to the teleportation altar. Next was Phoenix Flame. As the princess of the Jade Phoenix bloodline, she was obviously no stranger to teleportation, and calmly followed her teacher to the altar. Fang Qi, Mr. Liu, and Delfien were also quite calm, but Princess Magadal, who had experienced long-distance teleportation, was a little nervous, and her face was a little pale. Brando comforted her in a low voice, temporarily diverting the princess's attention, and calming her down.
After everyone had walked to the altar, the Queen of Madara looked up and said, "Before you leave, I have to remind you that the dangers of this trip are unpredictable, and I can't guarantee that you can come back alive. In fact, I have another set of plans, and if you can't come back, I have a way to deal with it."
Brando knew that she was talking about the agreement between Haku and Échis, but before he could say anything, the prime minister's daughter beside him smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since the dangers are unpredictable, then there is nothing to say. Lady Martha is protecting us."
The Queen of Madara shook her head coldly and said, "The will of the Roman Black Rose is that if there is a chance, and if there is value, we are willing to accept any price. For the undead, there is nothing more terrible than eternal death, but even if it is eternal death, we can face it calmly. However, for a weak race like you, you can't understand our coldness, not only to others, but also to ourselves. We will not leave any last words, because it is meaningless, but I think you may have additional requests — "
"Your Majesty, please take back your words," Phoenix Flame raised her head and said firmly, "The inheritor of the Jade Phoenix also has the courage to face everything, even death. Otherwise, we would not have chosen this path."
"But death is not terrible, little girl. You will never understand that," the Queen of Madara replied.
Brando saw that the argument was going to continue, so he frowned and interrupted the Queen, "Leave the last words to others. I have a question for you, Your Majesty."
The Queen of Madara looked back at him and said, "Speak."
"For Madara, if you want to reconcile with Saint-ausol and Fanzin, there is a better choice than Erouine, isn't there?"
"You mean the Bugas?" The Queen of Madara seemed to have expected this question.
Brendel nodded. This was actually a question that had been in his heart for a long time. He had suppressed this question for a long time before finally asking. Even though he had some guesses in his heart, he still hoped to get a definite answer from the other party.
"After the Fallen Moon disaster, the Bugas lost their kingdom in the sky. Now the speed of information transmission between the continents is slower than in any previous era. The Bugas can't teleport back and forth between their monitoring point and the floating city like in the past, so they may not have time to know everything that is happening here," the Queen of Madara replied, "But this is only one of the reasons. The second reason is that the relationship between the Bugas and the Wind Elves may not be as good as you think."
"What do you mean?" Brando's heart skipped a beat and asked.
"The Bugas have always been in conflict with the Four Empires. Whether it is the Cruz, Fanzin, or the Wind Elves, they are not happy that someone is above them and telling them what to do. Moreover, before the Fallen Moon disaster, a considerable number of the Bugas had actually returned to the earth. In order to fight for the slate, there was a lot of friction between them and the Wind Elves and Fanzin. "
"In fact, as far as the last news I received, a branch of the Bugas was in a state of war with the Wind Elves. Although a full-scale war has not broken out, the Wind Elves may not choose to believe their enemy at this time."
Brando completely understood when he heard this. Although history had deviated greatly, at least at this moment, it still stubbornly maintained its inertia.
The slate war still broke out, and the friction between the Bugas and the Wind Elves in history was the fuse of this war. But this was just the beginning, and there would be more serious things to come.
After listening to the Queen of Madara's words, Brando was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "If Your Majesty really wants to reconcile with the Wind Elves and Fanzin, and wants to fight against the Twilight Dragon, I have two things to warn Your Majesty."
"Oh?"
