The "disappearance" of the Hunting King Niltje accelerated the defeat of the Headhunters. In the joint strangulation of the Steam Titan and the forest elves, the Hunting Angels that broke into the city were eliminated one by one, and the remaining Hunters were unable to escape.

A big storm arose.

Outside the city, the attacking headhunters had to retreat after sending a large number of heads. The Royal Court patrol took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and wiped out a large number of headhunters.

An unprecedented victory greatly encouraged the forest elves, and with the aid from the Golden Shield Empire, a bold strategy to take the initiative was placed on the desk of King Sanye.

A lakeside meeting was held, and an elder said: "Your Majesty! In this battle, we not only successfully defended the royal court, but also severely damaged the main force of the headhunters. The hunting angel king Nilteye was trapped in the secret technique, and there were two more

The Hunting King was killed by our warriors in the war.

This is the moment when the Headhunters are at their weakest. If we give them time to replenish their strength, the Hunting Queen will quickly replace the lost Headhunters, and by then we will fall into passive defense again."

Another elder also echoed and said: "Your Majesty... the leader of the Golden Shield Empire, Meteorite, has arrived at the Jade Palace. He has brought the super-heavy steam airship, Steam Titan, to show us the strength of the empire.

If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate the headhunters, the Golden Shield Empire will definitely force us to agree to their conditions, and the Emerald Forest will be brought into the dispute between the empire and the Shinojin people."

This view was approved by some elders.

The Golden Shield Empire used this war to perfectly demonstrate the high-end military force they had at their disposal, and these high-end military forces were obviously prepared to fight against the Shuojin people.

The empire's chief auxiliary, Meteorite, definitely didn't come to the Emerald Forest to talk about aid. The aid didn't need to bring so many advanced steam titans and a steam airship similar to the Sky Fortress. He wanted to pull the Emerald Forest to join the Golden Shield Empire's camp and challenge the world together.

The Shuojin people, one of the five ancient civilizations.

This is definitely not in the interests of the Emerald Forest.

King Sanye sat on his throne and was meditating. After a while, he asked the attendant behind him: "Are the chief ministers of Meteor Star and the people he brought properly arranged?"

The attendant replied: "After the battle, the Chief of the Meteor Star took the Kirov steam airship to the Emerald Port and stayed with the Golden Shield Empire's fleet. All the steam titans who participated in the battle also returned to the dock without disturbing the order of the royal court.

The palace complied with your wishes and sent a batch of condolences to the Kirov steam airship. Those who went came back and reported: The Chief Minister of Meteor Star expressed his gratitude to Your Majesty. However, he did not request a meeting, and he seemed to be in no hurry to come to Emerald Lake.

.”

"It seems that the chief assistant of Meteor Star also knows that his arrival will cause us a lot of trouble, and has given us the choice of whether to see him or not." King Sanye said to the elders: "We know a lot about the Hunter Clan.

Limited, and we don’t even know the specific location of the Hunting Queen’s lair. The Emerald Magic Academy sent news that the Hunting Queen’s lair is in the Horsehair area of ​​the Unicorn Mountains. What is your estimate of the winning rate of an active attack?”

The three-leaf king's question silenced the meeting.

The forest elves are really in a dilemma this time. They don't know what is behind the window period for hunters this time, and they don't know what harsh treaty the chief minister of the Golden Shield Empire has brought.

After a while, an elder expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, I think the opportunity to counterattack the headhunters should not be given up easily. Even if we cannot attack the hunting queen's lair, we must actively eliminate the headhunters and slow them down.

The speed of returning to scale. Moreover, our victory on the battlefield can give us more room for autonomy in negotiations with the Golden Shield Empire."

This suggestion reached the heart of King Sanye.

"Yes! Whether we are facing the powerful headhunters or the powerful Golden Shield Empire, we should not turn ourselves into fruits for them to harvest. We must strive for more choices for the future of the forest elves." The Three-leaf King was thinking.

After a while, he gave the order: "Send some special products of the Emerald Forest to the Chief of the Meteor Star. Tell him that I am busy dealing with many matters to restore order in the city after the war. I do not have time to have a formal meeting with him at the moment. Please wait for a while."

time……

Order the royal court patrols to immediately organize elite forces to pursue the retreating headhunters without giving them a chance to regroup. Send the Emerald Lake Guards to infiltrate the horsehair area of ​​the Unicorn Mountains and conduct a comprehensive investigation around the Hunting Queen's lair.

Order the Royal Court’s alchemy factory to increase the research and development and manufacturing of flying alchemy puppets so that headhunters can no longer easily break into the Royal Court from the air.”

"As ordered, Your Majesty!"

The royal orders were passed on one after another, and the lakeside meeting continued to discuss how to clean up the ruins of the city as soon as possible and restore order in the royal court.

At this time, on the Kirov airship, Mrs. Mihir was reporting to Luke on her work and diplomatic results during her visit to the Emerald Court.

Luke stood by the window, and at the edge of the distant city was a huge mushroom cloud that sealed the Hunting King Niltje.

Mrs. Mihir said on one side: "Eighty-four percent of the first batch of aid supplies has been handed over to the hands of the Emerald Royal Court. The overall favorability of the forest elves towards the empire has increased significantly. It's just that the Emerald Lake is still wary of the empire.

Very seriously, the Three-leaf King is very sensitive to political topics.

I followed your instructions and did not make any positional demands to the Emerald Forest. The Three-leaf King responded very positively to technical cooperation.

This is a statistical list of the alchemy technology cooperation we have already negotiated. I believe that with these cooperation, the development capabilities of the Raging Wave City Magic Laboratory can be greatly improved."

Mihir presented a document.

Luke took the pages and looked at them carefully.

"Madam, you have done an excellent job. By implementing these alchemical technology cooperation, you will be a major contributor to the empire's journey. Next, your job is to continue to deeply explore the potential for technical cooperation. Magical technology is an untapped area.

In the blue ocean, the more technical reserves we have, the more things we can explore."

"I understand, Sir Shofu. I saw the Magic Titan you drove. It is simply a miracle. Maybe we can really use magic technology to create gods."

Mrs. Mihir set her sights on the "mushroom" in the distance. During the war, she saw the appearance of the Magic Titan, which was fully capable of fighting against the five backbones of ancient civilizations. This represented that the Golden Shield Empire was not only in economic and political

On the level, it has the ability to challenge Shuojin Civilization, and in terms of force, it also has the confidence to no longer allow five civilizations to descend on the Imperial Palace at will.

This kind of pride cannot be concealed.

A sense of mission sublimated Mrs. Michel's purpose in politics, from greed for power to the complacency of etching her name in history.

With the leadership of the First Assistant of Meteor Star, we will eventually be able to bring the brightest light of human civilization!

Mrs. Michel's whole body seemed to be glowing with her faith.

Luke said: "Maybe we can really do it in the future, but now we still have to have a perfect ending in the Emerald Forest. Emerald Lake sent some things, but the Three-leaf King did not express his intention to meet with me as soon as possible. He still has

concern."

Mrs. Mihir played the role of a staff member and analyzed: "According to my understanding of the Emerald Royal Court during this period, there are many factions within the forest elves. Some support getting closer to human civilization, and some want to return to the forest. Those who get closer to human civilization

There are different levels of acceptance, and there are different levels of radicalness in wanting to return to the forest.

Now as the elves living in the forest have fled into the Emerald King's Court, the strength of the Forest Faction has increased a lot, and their influence on the Emerald Lake will become more and more serious. Although the Three-leaf King can still suppress the Forest Faction, he will definitely be able to

Feeling the pressure build up."

After listening, Luke said: "Countless history tells us that the greater the forward momentum, the greater the resistance. I believe that the Three-leaf King who chose to integrate into human civilization will not give up because of this resistance.

A civilization destined to be brilliant.

Facing the headhunters, he chose to burn the forest, breaking many of his laws to balance the forest elves. Therefore, we must believe in this ruler who has the same long-term vision as Augustine the Great, give him some time, and let the forest elves

We can clearly see the path they will take in the future.”

"We admire you, Mr. Chief Assistant, for your vision of the direction of the world. I will now supervise the handover of the empire's aid and give up the port as soon as possible so that the second batch of aid can arrive."

"Go for it!"

Mrs. Mihir left and Kylena came behind Luke.

"Master Chief Assistant, Princess Dai'er left the airship and entered the city to help rescue those survivors trapped in the ruins. A team of imperial agents has followed."

"I understand, just let the following spies protect Her Highness the Princess, and don't interfere with her."

"Yes, Lord Chief Assistant."

Luke added: "I'm going to leave for a while and don't let others know that I'm not on the airship. You should know what to do."

"I know what to do, Lord Chief Assistant. But if there is an emergency, how should I inform you?"

"Send to Emerald Magic Academy, Shelley is there."

"I understand, Lord Chief Assistant."

After explaining to Kylena, Luke came to a side door of the airship alone.

Opening the door, the incoming air blew his clothes flying. He looked outside and saw the Kirov steam airship hovering in the airspace outside the Emerald Harbor, with various ships coming and going from the harbor below.

Luke said goodbye to Kylena and jumped out.

His body fell in free fall toward the sea below. His speed became faster and faster, the air flow blew against his cheeks, and the wind roared in his ears. Then the dragon-shaped mask wrapped his head, and then the dragon armor was attached to his body layer by layer.

Fire was flowing on the red armor with gold edges.

The moment he was about to plunge into the sea, a pair of dragon wings spread out from the back of the dragon armor.

Luke completed the turn close to the water.

Four magic circles spread out around him, the runes in the magic circles rotated, and four jets of flame burst out, pushing Luke to fly forward rapidly.

A sound wave exploded with a ring of air, and Luke broke the speed of sound and set off a huge white wave on the water.

Emerald Magic Academy.

The retreat of the headhunters finally gave Professor Macatina, who had returned from the Unicorn Mountains, a chance to enter the academy.

The news that Queen Clear Sky went deep into hunting the Queen's lair on her own made Dean Vidal's joy at defeating the headhunters instantly cool down.

In Library No. 1, which was being urgently rebuilt, Dean Vidal asked Professor Macatina: "Why didn't you stop her! How could you make such a serious mistake!"

Professor Macatina blamed herself: "I'm sorry, Dean. I...I have tried my best..."

Dean Vidal asked the Sheriff and An Ye again: "You didn't stop Qingkong... Miss Xingkong?"

The cat and the mouse looked at each other. They were also very worried about Qingkong's safety: "This is Miss Xingkong's order, but we all believe that Miss Xingkong will come back safe and sound."

"If Miss Xingkong is safe and sound, I think she will definitely come back earlier than you!" Shelley on the side said, staring at the two little guys: "If something happens to Miss Xingkong, the chief assistant will never let you go.
