"This statue of the God of War Campas is 48 meters high and weighs more than 3,600 tons. It is the largest statue in the entire continent." King Bandra led everyone to wander in the square in the palace and proudly explained to the guests the former glory of Istan. King Bandra said: "When I built this statue, more than 300 craftsmen, with the assistance of more than 40 magicians, it took a full thirteen years to build it. When the statue was completed, the gate of the heavenly world suddenly opened, and the great God of War Campas came to this statue. It was precisely because of the protection of Campas that our Istan Empire had a thousand years of prosperity."

Gao Tian and others came to the palace of Istan on the promise to attend King Bandra's dinner, but they did not expect that before the dinner began, King Bandra took them to visit his palace. It is undeniable that the palace of Bandra is indeed magnificent and solemn. Every palace, every pillar, and every stone here has a long history and can tell touching stories. In terms of historical heritage, there is no palace in the entire Campas continent that can be comparable to the palace of Bandra, and no royal family has a long history as the royal family of Istan.

The Istan Empire in the past was once the overlord of the entire continent, but today the Istan Kingdom has become a third-rate country. It can only be vassed under the wings of the powerful Dro Empire to survive. The kings of the Istan Kingdom can only rely on recalling the glory of their ancestors in the past to vaguely find some dignity and confidence.

But is this true? Have the kings of Istan really accepted this fate?

King Bandra, who was only in his forties, was hunched over, his head full of pale silver hair flew in the wind, and walked tremblingly, like an old man in his twilight years. However, even such a king who was aging in advance by state affairs, there was no sadness on his face. His face was full of confidence, his eyes were bright and his voice was sonorous and powerful. King Bandra leaned against the statue of Campas with the support of his little daughter, and talked to everyone.

"The territory of the Istan Empire at that time was 1,328 times that of the current Istan Kingdom, and its population was 567 times that of the current Istan Empire. The millions of troops of the Istan Empire were once opened and closed across the entire continent, and all countries were moaning under the iron hooves of the great Istan Empire. My ancestor, the great Emperor Constantine, was the most powerful magician in human history. He once destroyed the cavalry units of the enemy's entire legion with a forbidden spell magic, and also killed three magicians and at least fifty great magicians alone."

Gao Tian looked at Dallas and Silenna on the side and found that there were shock and anger in their expressions. The Istanese state was just a small vassal state of the Dro Empire. It was incredible that their monarch talked about the history of the country in front of the two dragon knights of the Dro Empire. You should know that the Dro Empire was just a province of the Istanish Empire, and the king of the Dro Empire was just a small follower of the Istanish Empire. King Bandra talked about the glory of the Istanish Empire in the past, clearly despising the authority of the Dro Empire. If it were not for politeness or without Ajani's existence, these two dragon knights might have drawn their swords to each other long ago. Killing the monarch of a vassal state or even destroying this vassal state would not be a big deal for them.

King Bandra might have seen the atmosphere wrong, stopped talking endlessly, looked up at the Campas statue, and suddenly showed a satisfied smile.

King Bandra asked, "Mr. Dallas, you are a high-level fire magician. May I ask, how much time and effort did you go from the day you started to learn magic to the day you became a high-level magician?"

This question is abrupt, but Dallas still answered politely: "Dear Your Majesty the King, I have experienced arduous training for a total of twenty-seven years and countless struggles on the brink of life and death. Only then did I change from a magic apprentice to a high-level magician."

King Bandra smiled, laughing wildly, loudly, and said, "Do you believe it or not. If I were your mentor, this time could be shortened to ten years. It only takes ten years to give you the strength you are now." King Bandra paused, looked at Dallas, who had a sarcastic smile on his face, and said, "Unlike all the magicians on the mainland, our royal family members of the Istan Empire have always followed other

A way to practice magic. You practice magic by meditation and magic power accumulated by time. Unlike us, we rely on magic circles and magic equipment. The combat power of the magic legion we equipped with our huge wealth is something you can never imagine. Do you believe it or not, the magic fireball released by an intermediate magician with both hands full of magic amplification rings is much faster and much more powerful than yours.”

Dallas was a little annoyed by Bandra's words, and his tone became stiff, saying, "It's a pity that the former legion of magicians has long become the scum of history. Just like the powerful Istan Empire, it can only be glorious in your memory."

Bandra stopped laughing, but her smile still hung on her face. Dallas and Silenna felt inexplicably, and the sick old man performed a little abnormal today. They originally thought that the old king must have tried his best to win over Gao Tian and Gao Hong at the banquet today. They were looking forward to the moment when the negotiations broke down so as to implement the plan that had been planned. However, after Gao Tian and the others came here, King Bandra did not show any intention of winning over, but instead led them to visit the palace with interest.

King Bandra suddenly changed the topic and said, "At that time, the glory of the god of war Campas once enveloped this statue. For thousands of years, this light has never disappeared. Standing at this position and looking up at Campas, we can still see the light of God. Therefore, we still believe that the great Istan is still under the protection of the god of war Campas."

King Bandra smiled and waved to Gao Tian and others, saying, "Three distinguished guests, please come here and stand on these stone slabs and look up, and you can see the glory of Campas."

Gao Tian, ​​Gao Hong and Melanie walked forward a few steps as they spoke, stood on the stone slabs and looked up. The statue of the god of war Campas stood majestic, giving people a sense of oppression, but no matter how many people looked at it, Campas's eyes were also stone, and there was no light at all.

Gao Tian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty the King, there is no light."

King Bandra smiled and said, "That's because you are not pious enough in your hearts. Look again and the light will appear."

King Bandra turned his head and looked at Shilena and Dallas standing ten meters away. The smile on his face was swept away, and he replaced it with endless coldness. Bandra said: "For more than five hundred years, the great Istanese Empire has lived in humiliation for more than five hundred years. We were indeed defeated, we lost our sovereignty, lost our land, and became a vassal of the Dero Empire. But there is one thing we did not lose, that is huge wealth. The great Istanese Empire lasted for three thousand New Years and has always been the most powerful country on this continent. The wealth accumulated is unimaginable. Back then, we only handed over one tenth of the wealth, and had already caused internal strife to more than a dozen countries that jointly attacked us. Do you know, what have we done with this huge wealth over the past five hundred years?"

Dallas and Shilena's anger were almost impossible to control. King Bandra repeatedly mentioned the great Istan Empire, which was undoubtedly a challenge to their authority for the two dragon knights, who were generals of the Dro Empire. Dallas raised his magic staff, and Shilena pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and the two glared at King Bandra.

Gao Tian and Meilani also felt something was wrong, and both raised their ears and listened carefully to King Bandra's words. Only the innocent Gao Hong still raised her head and looked at the eyes of the Campas statue, looking forward to seeing the so-called glory of God.

King Bandra continued: "We have used this huge wealth to manage for more than five hundred years and build an underground army. We are no longer the weakest country in the Campas continent. We have the most stringent, most efficient and largest intelligence network in the entire continent. Everything about you is under our surveillance. Hahaha..."

"Rare!" Dallas raised his magic wand.

"Bold!" Xilianna drew her sword.

With a "bang", the two eyes of the Campas statue were really shining brightly. Two beams of light hit the ground, like a great god despising his life. One of the two beams of light enveloped King Bandra and his young daughter Ajiani, while the other enveloped Gao Tian, ​​Gao Hong and Meilanni.

At the same time, Dallas' magic has been released, and a huge fireball rushed towards Bandra. Silenna combined with the sword and turned into a green lightning, rushing towards Ajani.

However, the attacks of the two people were all lost. After the magical fireball of Dallas hit the beam, it made no sound, and was assimilated by the beam. The dazzling beam absorbed the magic power of Dallas and became more dazzling and stronger. Although Xilianna's sword stabbed the beam of light, the empty beam of light seemed to have turned into hard steel. With a sound, Xilianna bounced four or five meters away.

Xi Lianna turned in the air, and the fighting spirit in her body increased to its limit. Xi Lianna held the sword in both hands and injected all the fighting spirit into the sword. The sword immediately turned into a silver dragon shining with white light. Xi Lianna shouted loudly, and the silver dragon roared and chopped on the light column. With a "click", the light column was not damaged at all, but Xi Lianna's sword was broken into two sections.

Silenna and Dallas were shocked and immediately summoned Leonardo and Gregory. Leonardo and Gregory rushed towards the pillar of light with the dragon's strong body, but the two of them were also ejected back.

The figures flashed outside the palace, and more than 20 magicians and high-level warriors rushed into the palace, surrounding the statue of Campas. Xiliana and Dallas tried to attack several times, but without exception, they returned without exception. Even the two powerful mount dragons were helpless in front of these two beams. Since they could not enter, the people inside could not come out. Xiliana ordered to stop the attack, and everyone's weapons were aimed at Bandera in the beam, and when the beam disappeared, they would launch a full-strength attack.

During this period, Gao Tian and others also tried to rush out of the beam several times, but like Xi Lianna and the others, they were bounced back by the beam every time.

King Bandra laughed and said, "Let you see the glory of the great Istan Empire! This is the Campas cage, the super magic sealed in the statue's eyes by our great ancestors when they built this Campas statue. Unless you have the power of God, don't want to come in. Hahaha..."

Xilianna and Dallas have already stepped onto the dragon, and the dragon is floating in the air. Xilianna shouted angrily: "Get out, you are a turtle, the Campas cage will not protect you for the rest of your life."

Ajiani, who had been silent, began to move at this moment. Ajiani raised her hands and began to chant a lengthy magic spell in her mouth. With the chanting of the spell, the whole earth began to tremble. In the square outside the palace, pieces of granite stone floors were tilted by magic and smashed towards the surrounding warriors and magicians. The warriors and magicians avoided one after another. Soon, with the Campas statue as the center, all the floors within thirty meters around flew away.

Below the floor is a huge rock, connected to the base of the Campas Statue. It seems that before the construction of Campas Statue, here was a stone mountain. On the rock, various magic materials were carved with complex magic symbols, and hundreds of gems shone with dazzling light. There is actually a large magic circle here.

Ajiani continued to chant spells, the magic circle began to operate, and two space gates formed between the two beams of light. The space in the beam that enveloped Gao Tian and the others gradually expanded, and then completely swallowed Gao Tian and the others. After a few dazzling rays of light shone, Gao Tian, ​​Gao Hong and Meilani disappeared.

The moment King Bandra stepped into the space gate, he turned around and shouted at Dallas and Shilianna, who were anxious and anxious, "I will come back soon, and the Istan Empire will come back, hahaha..."
