Port of Belafar.
A tall sailboat was leaving the port, its stern drawing a white trail in the bay. The sailors shouted as they lowered the sails, and under the captain's and first mate's commands, the ropes were pulled taut.
Brando stood on the damp stone bridge and looked at the port area, only to see the black mass of people fleeing.
The news of the Goddess of the Dead Moon betraying Martha and the fall of the Realm of Eternal Death quickly spread here. The local dark nobles and undead had already caught up with the Queen's army, and the remaining human refugees rushed over from nearby areas and gathered at the ports of Belafar, Lopez, and Naurao. These people hoped to escape to the Silver Bay or the Grey Mountains, and only a small portion of them would choose Aouine.
However, very few people were able to find a boat that was willing to take them away, and most of them could only look enviously at those who had a certain amount of wealth leaving with their families. Those who stayed behind could only wait for death.
Brando frowned as he looked at the chaotic crowd. The cries of the people at the port were deafening, and he even saw people being pushed off the port. Those who fell into the water struggled in the sea, and although they felt uncomfortable, there was nothing they could do.
Compared to the scale of the refugees, Port of Belafar's transport capacity was far from enough.
Perhaps the upper echelons of Madara left too heartlessly, but staying behind was also a dead end. The Supreme One with the mercury staff made the right decision again with her unique coldness.
Princess Magadal's face was filled with pity.
They had only arrived at Belafar three days ago, and Martha had teleported them to the Evergreen Forest. The forest at the foot of the Tedart Mountains was not too far from Belafar.
Belafar was located in the north of Madara, across the Dark Star Sea from the Nitmena Peninsula where Grey Mountain was located. It was Madara's last supply port to Erouine and Silver Bay.
From here to Erouine, the caravan would only need half a month to travel along the Bucce Mountains. To the east was the Karsuk Plateau controlled by the Highland Knight.
This place had always been the gathering point of information in the north of the Sea of the Dying Moon. The refugees from the south had brought all kinds of rumors about the Crystal Cluster and the undead army. According to the latest rumors, the undead army had turned in the direction of Nauvoo. They had split into two at the Torras Pass in the north of the Sea of the Dying Moon. One part of them went east, while the main force went to the Strait of Tobanya.
The Strait of Tobanya was a naturally formed isthmus between Saint-Authol and Madara. It was to the west of the Dark Sea, and it seemed that the Queen of Madara had made up her mind to enter the Gray Mountains from there. As for the one heading east, Brando thought it was likely that they were heading to Erouine.
In addition to the news from the south, some of the fleets that arrived a month ago also brought news from the north. However, the news of the collapse of the Cruz Empire spread like the plague. However, some of the rumors mentioned the peace talks between the Cruz Empire and the Wind Elves in the Wilderness of the Four Realms, which was beyond Brando's expectations.
It seemed that there were people from the Empire who survived the battle in Metz. He was very worried about the safety of Vahina and Lady Veronica, as well as the Priestess of the Leo Palace who always had a straight face, and the Archseigneur Valla.
Especially the Archseigneur Valla. After the death of the Silver Queen, Valla became the spiritual and faith pillar of the Empire. If he unfortunately died in the war, the Empire would soon become a pile of loose sand. The loss of one of the Four Great Empires of the Humans and the Elves would be a heavy blow to the Order Faction.
However, the truth and falsehood were hidden in the chaos of rumors and rumors, making it impossible to distinguish the truth of the matter. Brando could only give up guessing and wait until he returned to Erouine.
Originally, he did not have to come here to squeeze with the refugees on the limited ships, but Huang Huo, Mr. Liu, and Fang Qi had to go to Nine Phoenix, and Princess Magadal had to return to the Duchy of Antoburo, so everyone had to separate here.
In fact, the ship had been found a day ago. Huang Huo and the others happened to meet a merchant fleet that was returning to Nine Phoenix. This fleet would go through the Strait of Tobanya to the Red Jade Mountains area, enough to avoid the Taowu Strait route that was cut off by the Lost Names. Princess Magadal, on the other hand, hired a whaling ship to go to Storm Harbor. With her current strength, Brando did not think that the Nun Princess would encounter any trouble on the way.
At this time, Brando turned his head and looked at the dragon girl standing beside the little female dragon.
It was Flora, but at this moment, the dark silver luster in her eyes had faded, and the golden flame that represented the Golden Clan reignited in the depths of her pupils.
Flora was found with Aloz three days ago. Among the surviving dragons, there was another black dragon named Per, who had already recovered their consciousness when they were found.
Flora was ready to return to Dragon Island, and Aloz and another of her kind naturally had to go with her. Although the little female dragon was very reluctant, but after so many things had happened, she could not be so carefree as to wander around outside.
On Dragon Island, there were not only the inheritance of the dragons, but also the young dragons that were left there during the war. Now that the dragons had been hit hard, to maintain the survival of the clan, returning to Dragon Island was the first thing to do.
"Brando —"
The little female dragon let out a whimper and bumped into his doubts, causing Brando to roll his eyes and almost fall back into the sea. Aloz looked up with tears in her eyes and blinked her golden eyes, "Brando, you must wait for us. When everything is done, I will come with Flora to find you."
Flora could not help but frown.
However, she still nodded slightly to Brando. She understood that if it were not for this human, she and Aloz would not be standing here in one piece, and the dragons would have suffered even greater losses.
However, when she thought of her earrings that had fallen into the hands of this human, she felt a little confused.
"Mr. Brando," Flora said, her voice was very soft and pleasant, "Aloz's temper has always been like this, you don't have to take it to heart, we are very grateful for your help."
After saying that, she bowed to everyone present and said with an apologetic tone, "I'm also very sorry, everyone. I've brought misfortune and disaster to you and my fellow clansmen. When I return from Dragon Island, I'll definitely do my best to make up for my mistakes …"
"Don't be like this, Miss Flora," Magadal comforted her, "In fact, all of us know that it was not your intention, you were just being manipulated by the Twilight Dragon. Now that you have recovered, we are only happy."
Fu Luofa nodded.
"Fortunately," Fang Qi put his hands behind his head and said with a cold joke, "At least you don't have to repent in front of Lord Bahamut, because even the Dragon God has betrayed the Twilight Dragon."
"Fang Qi!" Phoenix Huo jabbed him with the hilt of her sword.
"What," Fang Qi said with some grievance, "I didn't say anything wrong. Besides, Miss Flora is a dragon, you can't be so weak right?"
"Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth." Phoenix Huo glared at him and said.
"Miss Phoenix Huo, Mr. Fang Qi, stop arguing. Mr. Fang Qi is right, the dragons are the warriors of the gods, this setback is nothing. In the past wars, we have also suffered heavy losses. "
Flora interrupted them. Her expression was very calm, it was obvious that she had already known about the drastic changes in the dragon race. However, the girl's slightly pale face reflected her inner thoughts, she was obviously not as calm as expected.
The dragons had suffered heavy losses in previous wars, but this time, they had lost their god.
"Miss Flora …" Phoenix Huo said worriedly, she subconsciously looked at her teacher.
Brando felt something and also looked at Flora. Because of Aloz, he had a misunderstanding with this girl. In fact, he still felt a little awkward and did not know how to get along with her. However, Fu Luofa was very calm. She calmly accepted his gaze.
"Do you plan to return to Dragon Island to control Bahamut's temple?" Brando asked.
Flora's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Bahamut's temple was the center of Dragon Island. She had to settle the dragon's inheritance and the dragon's descendants before the Dragon God arrived there. If necessary, she had to give up Dragon Island and find another place to stay.
And in the Battle of Metz, although the Dragon Clan had suffered heavy losses, she believed that there were still many of her kind that had survived. She had to gather these people — in this war, this world still needed the strength of the Golden Clan.
She nodded.
"Flora," Brando thought for a moment and said, "we all know the meaning of the upcoming war for the world. I don't want to say much, but I have some suggestions."
"Please, Mr. Brando."
"I think, what we are facing now is not a war that can be won by fighting alone. Even if we unite all the forces of Wohnde, it is still weak in front of this powerful opponent. Therefore, we cannot divide our forces. Now there are rumors that the Fanzin, Cruz, and the Wind Elves are having a negotiation. If this negotiation really exists, then it must be that the Fanzin, Cruz, and the Wind Elves have realized something. And before we go to the Stagnation Realm, in fact, the Undead of Madara, their Supreme, Her Majesty, almost gave us the same suggestion. She hoped to convey a kind of goodwill to the world through Erouine. Now the Undead have divided into two groups and passed through the Gulf of Tobanya and the mountains of Bucce. But not to attack Saint-Authol and Erouine, but to stand with the world of Order and face this war together. "
