PS: I have something to do today, so I'm updating in advance.
Under the warm and light yellow magic light, Olica's face was flushed red as she lazily curled up in bed. She covered herself with the blanket, only revealing her small head. Her amber eyes were looking at Laing from behind, full of affection. Her long black hair spread out on the bed as she stared at Laing, who was communicating with the Lake Fairy with his psionic power. She seemed to be thinking and planning something.
The interior of the tent was rather warm. There was a very advanced and ancient underground water system in the main shrine of Valaya, so it was rather cool. The only thing that made Olica unhappy was that she could not see the sky and the powerful anti-magic domain made her a little uncomfortable. So she had been pestering Leon whenever she had time these days.
At this time, Laing was still communicating with the Lake Fairy.
"Indeed, as you said, due to the disappearance of the expedition army, the news has spread in the Sea Gate, the Empire, and Brittany. Some people say that the Eight Peaks Mountain expedition army has been completely wiped out, some say that the army is now trapped underground, some say that they saw the heads of you and King Belega being put on the flagpole by the Green Dwarfs, and some say that you are still besieging the Eight Peaks Mountain." The Lake Fairy and Leon were in the middle of a conversation. Hearing this, the Goddess couldn't help but chuckle. "You want me to report your safety to your Sulia and little Devenhill?"
"Telling them this is not the main point." "My lady, please tell Suria and Duke Francois to gather a new expeditionary force to support us." Ryan smiled bitterly after hearing the words of the Lady of the Lake, and said, "My lady, please tell Duke Francois to gather a new expeditionary force to support us."
"Francois himself is fine, but … the new expeditionary force? Laing, are you serious? " The Lady of the Lake was a little puzzled by Leon's words. "I know that the expeditionary army suffered a great loss in this battle, but you've brought almost all of Brittania's spare and surplus forces to this expedition. If you need Francois to organize another expeditionary army, the cost aside, it means that Brittania's defense forces and local armies will be in a state of extreme tension. Are you sure you want to do this?" The Lady of the Lake was a little puzzled after hearing Leon's words.
"No, that's not what I mean." Laing sat on the bed and said to the Lake Fairy in his mind, "I need François to form a small army and come here to support me, but make it big. Even if only a thousand people come, make it look like ten thousand, twenty thousand, or fifty thousand people."
"Are you … bluffing?" The Lake Fairy immediately understood Laing's idea.
"Yes, that's it." Laing's words were brief. He and the Lake Fairy were both smart people, so there was no need for them to be so thorough. As for François, the cunning old man could easily understand Laing's idea.
This was also one of the plans that Laing and Belega had discussed.
"I understand." The Lake Fairy nodded. The Goddess said with a faint smile, "Perhaps you need Morgiana's help?"
"Forget about Morgiana. She's the best choice now that she's in the kingdom." Laing shook his head. When he thought of Morgiana, he missed her and was a little afraid. This expedition was so long, and when he returned, he would have to slowly "repay the debt".
The Lake Fairy's laughter faintly came from the void. The Lake Fairy was actually happy to see the intimate relationship between Laing and Morgiana. It would be even better if Morgiana could give birth to Laing's child. The Lake Fairy would then bind him even more tightly.
Unfortunately, like most spellcasters, Morgiana could not get pregnant even if she was willing.
"My lady, the expeditionary army has suffered heavy casualties, and their morale is low. They lack supplies, bullets, and cannonballs. They are also living in an environment that they are not used to and are not familiar with. My lady, I implore you to come out and revive the expeditionary army's morale and inspire their fighting spirit." Laing then made his second request.
"You mean, I'll appear and inspire the army?" The Lake Fairy was a little hesitant. She said softly, "Is that what you think?"
Laing's heart skipped a beat. The Knight King and the Lake Fairy, who were the Chosen One champions, could feel the Lake Fairy's hesitation and resistance.
In the past, he and the Lake Fairy had always cooperated well, and the Goddess had always fully supported his decisions.
What's going on today?
Laing's mind turned a lot of thoughts. He thought for a few seconds and still felt that it was necessary. He insisted, "Yes, that's what I think, my lady. Now is the time when the expeditionary army needs to be inspired and united."
"…" The Lake Fairy was still silent. The Goddess remained silent.
Laing could only keep silent and wait for the Lake Fairy's reply.
He was a little disappointed, and even Olica, who was behind him, could feel his disappointment. For this great expedition, Leon personally went into battle, one against two. Facing Gur and Nefrata, who could be regarded as the top fighting forces in the mortal world, he did not complain at all, nor did he feel that it was not worth it.
But now, the Lake Fairy was not even willing to show up?
As if she felt Laing's disappointment, the Lake Fairy hesitated for a while. Then she said with some difficulty, "My champion, it's not that I don't want to help you, but … this is the territory of the Dwarf Goddess, Valaya! Do you know what it means for me, the Elf Goddess, to appear in the main temple of Valaya? This is a declaration of war! "
Laing suddenly understood and felt a little ashamed. Knight King knew that he had taken it for granted. His voice was much gentler, "Can't we … negotiate?"
"The Elf Goddess will not bow to the Dwarf Goddess!" The Fairy in the Lake said angrily, "You know, even when the relationship between the Elf God system and the Dwarf God system was at its best, they were only forced to cooperate because of the threat of Chaos. You want me, an Elf God and a Human God, who is far more powerful than Valaya, to beg him? This is too shameful! How can I do such a thing? Why do I have to beg that short guy? He's fat, stubborn, and speaks rudely. He has no manners at all … "
"… Is it really not possible?" Clayon sighed softly and replied.
The Lake Fairy's voice suddenly stopped.
Silence was restored in the void.
After a long time, the Lake Fairy said in a low voice, "Since it's your request, and my champion, I'll give it a try. But don't expect too much. Valaya's stubbornness is not inferior to the other two dwarven gods. I can't promise you that I'll get permission. I can only try."
Laing felt a warmth in his heart at this time. He said softly, "It's okay, my lady. It's enough for you to do this for me."
"Okay." The Lake Fairy's voice disappeared.
Laing saw this and got up to deal with business in the inner room. Olica saw this and wanted to get up, but Laing waved his hand and said, "Rest a little more, Olica. You have worked hard in this war."
"Master …" The Dark Elf leaned lazily on the pillow, "This is what I should do. But master, please don't think that Kalida and we are friends. She is just using us, and we are using her."
"I know." Laing nodded. Seeing this, Olica stopped talking. She had exhausted her magic power in the previous battle at the Gate of Valaya. Recently, she had been very sleepy. Soon, the Dark Elf fell asleep again.
Half an hour later, the Lake Fairy's triumphant voice came from the void, "Laing, my champion, are you listening?"
"I'm listening." Laing suddenly raised his head.
"Valaya has agreed. Although she is very reluctant, she recognizes us. She recognizes our contribution and determination in this great expedition." The Lake Fairy's voice was filled with joy. She whispered, "Are you ready to welcome my arrival? My champion? "
"Of course!" Laing stood up directly, "I'm ready at any time!"
In the dazzling white light, the Goddess was ready to come to the mortal world.
"My champion, I'm doing this because of you, and only because of you! How are you going to compensate me? " As soon as the Lake Fairy appeared, she pinched Laing's face and said proudly, "Except for you, it's useless for anyone to beg me!"
"I'm very grateful for your help." Laing began to feel that something was wrong.
"Don't thank me. I want you to take action!" The Goddess did not let go of this problem, "How about this, Laing, promise me one thing, how about it?"
"Lilith!" Knight King's face gradually darkened. He realized something.
She was faking it! This woman had been faking it all before. Her hesitation, her embarrassment, her reluctance, it was all an act! She deliberately pretended to be like that in order to get this favor, so that he would be forced to agree!
It was impossible to guard against!
In the end, Laing could only be forced to sign the unequal treaty. As a reward, the Goddess gave him a hot kiss.
… I am the section dividing line that is impossible to guard against …
"Green skin, barbaric, cruel, and strong. Rat man, despicable, cunning, and sly. These two evil creatures have made up their minds to fight us to the death in the Eight Peaks Mountain.
The expeditionary army went all the way to the east. The night was getting longer, the lion roared, and all the knights were eager to drink the blood of the enemy.
Even if the enemy outnumbered us, the more we fought, the braver we became. The enemy? Nothing was left!
The business princes of Marlinburg were looking forward to my defeat every day, but the Lady of the Lake favored the brave. The power of the Goddess was endless, and the battle was endless!
I will definitely recover the Eight Peaks Mountain, and use the heads of Skarnik and Quake to cast the soul of my Brittany army!
Never forget, never forgive! "
– Brittany Knight King "Unifier" Laing Macado, "The Battle of the Eight Peaks Mountain"
The appearance of the Goddess of the Lake in the main shrine of Valaya was a great motivation for the knights who had just fought a bloody battle. However, when the figure of the Goddess appeared in the dwarven fortress, even the dwarves were shocked by the fact that their mouths were wide open.
What did this mean? This meant that the Dwarf Goddess, Valaya, not only recognized the covenant between Belegar and Laing, but more importantly, the two Goddesses had reached a tacit understanding on the expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountain!
Originally, the King of the Eight Peaks Mountain had been blaming himself for borrowing the human army, especially the Brittany knights, to participate in this expedition, because to some extent, this was a trick and not abiding by the dwarves' oath. It was just that Belegar really had no choice.
But now, since this was the will of Valaya, the King of the Eight Peaks Mountain could raise his head and tell everyone that Valaya supported his decision, and that his decision was right! Brother Laing was a great savior sent by the Goddess of Valaya. This was the covenant made by the Mother Goddess! No dwarves would question the sanctity and validity of this covenant anymore!
Now, in the hall of the dwarven fortress, the remnants of the Brittany army gathered together. Everyone (except for Veronica's witches) was loudly praising the name of the Lady of the Lake and singing her songs. The knights all had tears in their eyes, and all of them knelt down to accept the Goddess' inspection.
Due to the fact that they had abandoned some unnecessary supplies during the battle at the Gate of Valaya, the inspection ceremony was very simple and crude. Only a platform was built with wood, but every soldier of the expeditionary army who participated in the ceremony felt extremely honored. Under the protection of the Knights of the Holy Grail and the personal accompaniment of Leon, the army stood in formation. The goddess walked slowly in front of the formation, inspecting the army's appearance.
Seeing the knights, the Old Guard, and the serfs all walking slowly in front of the platform with their heads held high, Laing almost blurted out, "Comrades, thank you for your hard work!" But he held back and began to introduce the various armies of the duchy to the Goddess, as well as their various achievements and glory in this great expedition.
It was not a sunny day. In the deep underground tunnel, there were only stones and mud. It was already September, and the hot weather in the Badlands began to cool down. The existence of the underground river made the climate of the main shrine of Valaya cooler.
Today, the Lady of the Lake was wearing a light and flawless white knee-length silk dress. She was wearing all kinds of ancient artifacts and accessories, and of course, a full set of platinum jewelry given to her by Suria. The Goddess wore an iris flower crown on her head, and her long golden hair hung directly behind her head like a golden waterfall. Under the long dress, only a pair of pink feet in thin black stockings were exposed. Her delicate ankles and smooth and delicate insteps were exposed. The platinum anklet was still shining, and together with the milky white pearl-embroidered ribbon high heels, she was beautiful beyond words. She stood calmly on the platform and listened to Laing's explanation. Although she knew very well about the achievements of the expeditionary army, the Goddess knew that she should give the army confidence and encouragement at this time.
A nod, a smile, and a few words of affirmation and encouragement from her made many knights burst into tears and moved them beyond words. The review ceremony was interrupted several times, but it was soon resumed.
There were hundreds of spears in the formation, and the fine cold light was flashing in the formation like the scales of a giant beast. Many of the hundreds of fluttering family flags were broken, but the aura of the golden spears covered the sky and the earth like the claws and teeth of a giant beast.
When the serfs and infantrymen who suffered heavy casualties began to be inspected, no one dared to say a word, cough, or twist their neck. No one even dared to move their eyes casually.
The Lady of the Lake, who the serfs and infantrymen had been longing to see all their lives but were not qualified to see her, was standing on the platform not far away!
We have been recognized by the Lady!
Our sacrifice is worth it!
However, this was not the end of the surprise. With Laing's loud announcement, the serfs and infantrymen's heartbeats suddenly accelerated to the limit!
"Following the Lady's oracle, we will select one hundred powerful and outstanding people from the serfs and infantrymen to be granted the status of free people on the spot and be incorporated into the Old Guard!"
"Long live the Lady! Long live His Majesty! "
The thunderous cheers echoed in the main shrine of Valaya.
"Ula, Ula, Ula."
