On November 25, 1228, the 40,000 troops and huge fleet led by Lu Xi finally arrived in Orso, the Central Sky District of the Federation. On the way of marching for nearly two weeks, there were not a group of "rebels" and "local princes" responding, preparing to join their invincible rebellion army, but Lu Xi refused them, asking them to temporarily return to the local area, protect the country and the people, and wait for the subsequent orders of the legal central government.

Of course Lu Xi knew that once he opened this hole, he might have a total force of more than 100,000 when he arrived at Elichar. However, he was all fence-bearing. Compared to the main rebels he had just destroyed in the Octalia and the Hilron Corridor, he was a mob of the same level. Indeed, their joining might give people the spirit of supporting the princes and becoming a king. However, today, do you still need to rely on a group of hawks and dogs to call 666 to add a halo to yourself?

Besides, since you have joined, you are your own people. Should you provide food? Should you make a wish for someone else? This protagonist is not a charity person, so why do you have to spend money on these fence-makers?

Of course, it is not right to say that all those who come to surrender are fence-bearers. As far as Lu Xi knows, in addition to the enemy local tyrants who took advantage of the situation, there are indeed some passionate men. These people can be very useful in the future, but he doesn't have time to distinguish them one by one now.

It's all December soon. Since I said that I would let the country be decided by myself before the end of this year, even if I stepped on Elichar with the New Year bell, it would be considered a failure. Do I want my dignified protagonist?

So, with this idea, Lu Xi almost drove the entire fleet to a theoretical maximum marching speed, and finally arrived at the suburbs of Orsotian District in the last week of November. Of course, such a rapid marching would not be at all cost. Except for a few advanced guide ships, the other warships were more or less damaged, and the Tislu nuclear nuclear was also at risk of overloading.

But no matter what, the long-lost Elichar, the capital that the State of Emergency Committee has been entrenched in for nearly half a year, was finally under the threat of his troops. Now, if Lu Xi abandoned his army and only took the Seven-Star Aurora to attack, he might be able to enter Elichar for dinner that evening that day.

However, the more you step, the less you are, the more you can't be anxious. Especially when the sky opposite suddenly rises, which mostly make people feel uncomfortable.

Lu Xi stood on the deck of the white boat, closing his eyes tightly facing the sky in the distance. He could not see the scenery there now, and could only extend forward with spiritual sense and perception far beyond normal people. However, he could see more clearly.

The gloomy dark clouds spread out to both sides of his front, and for a moment they could not see the ends of both sides. They seemed to reach the sky directly, as if they had turned into a huge city wall. The lightning and lightning with their teeth and claws appeared and disappeared during the period, as if they were hiding in the mud, winding around in search of deadly attack opportunities.

However, Lu Xi's spiritual sense told himself that all this should be just a manifestation. His perception had swept across the front of the thunder cloud wall at this time, but he felt a sense of stagnation and a sense of depression that made him quite unhappy.

A sense of depression that I have been in contact with.

Lu Xi sneered: "I really haven't heard of this kind of climate in Orso this season."

"If it were this climate, it would not be possible to form so many stable and dense floating islands." Sehiliu said.

"Then, please ask the two masters Alexson and Hedos to discuss. They have stayed here for a few more days and should have mastered more information." Lu Xi said.

The 40,000 army and a huge fleet temporarily stopped around the archipelago in Tian District. The soldiers and grassroots officers who had worked hard for several days finally had a chance to rest. The senior officials were about to take this opportunity to discuss the future strategy.

A few minutes later, the white ship could arrange a conference room of dozens of people, and all the generals of all sizes were arrived, including two aristocratic families who had just set up trouble and raised an army to fight against rebellion. The latter was a new friend, but after all, they were the first "our generals" to arrive in the capital occupied by the rebels, so of course they were qualified to attend such a meeting.

The two heads of the family entered the conference room and were hesitant for a while whether to give a big gift. However, Lu Xi nodded in the direction of them with his eyes closed, and used his only one arm to make a "please sit" position.

It seems that Little Beren... Oh no, that adult was blind and even broke his hand, so he was considered disabled.

Isn't that even more fierce?

The two heads of the family quickly exchanged this meaning with their own eyes, and sat down in their own position. Then they noticed that a huge map of the Elichards had been set up on the table, and all the islands, even many large floating reefs that could be stationed at most 100 people, were marked one by one.

On the far left of the map, the fleets and soldiers representing their own side are marked with red flags, arranged densely here.

"Now, let's discuss it. Just now, the Winged Man and the Air Cavalry have gone to investigate. It can be confirmed that the thunderstorm clouds on the opposite side have formed a barrier of at least hundreds of kilometers wide and hundreds of meters high, blocking the only way for our fleet to advance to Elichar. Before we determine the other party's means, it is irresponsible and stupid to let the fleet break through forcibly." After everyone sat down, Lu Xi told everyone.

"So, the rebels probably want to use this kind of thing to block us. Although they are all a group of glowing turtles without courage, they have to admit that they have indeed successfully disgusted me. Of course, we can send a fleet to bypass this barrier, but we cannot be sure whether the other party's barrier can continue to expand. So, if anyone here has any opinions on this, they can speak freely."

"The problem now is that the situation is unclear. We don't know very well what thunder cloud has and what harm it has to our warships and soldiers. So we can only wait for the scouts to give back... In addition, this should be made of magic, right?" Colonel Grima looked at the affirmative eyes of several fellow spellcasters and continued: "Then, we still need to figure out how long this thunder cloud can last and whether it will affect our original plan of march."

Speaking of this, Colonel Grima pondered for a moment and said to Lu Xi: "Your Excellency, if you can, you should assign elite warriors and spellcasters to form a team to investigate. It is difficult for ordinary scouts to find out the truth when facing the creation formed by this powerful magic."

Hedos, who was like a butcher, looked at Alexson and saw that the latter was completely sitting upright and looking at the front with nothing. He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency Commander, maybe my subordinates know something."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Well, my honor, in fact, this city wall formed by thunder clouds actually appeared a hundred years ago. It was during the Meg Rebellion that year. Marshal Nashibia led the Fourth Legion to suppress the rebellion. After defeating the rebel fleet and preparing to enter the Orsotian District, Meg Lorraine also unfolded such a wall..." Hedos said.

"Meg's Cloud Fortress? It's impossible. The so-called Cloud Fortress does not have this size, and there are no terrifying thunderstorms inside." said Major General Pascal, a mature sister.

She was a spellcaster with a complete history education, and of course systematically learned the whole story of the "Melo Rebellion" a hundred years ago. The so-called "Fortress in the Cloud" is one of the allusions that happened in the short but extremely fierce federal civil war. After Nashibia defeated Melo's four times its navy with less than ten small fleets, she led 30,000 troops from its Fourth Legion to Orso. At this time, Melo, who had lost all the fleet, seemed to be exhausted, so she unfolded a wall of clouds hundreds of meters in front of Nashibia, blocking the route of the floating ship. She made Nashibia, the war god of the Federation, and his heroes of war...well, it took another three hours.

Well, because in these three hours, "Meg's Fortress in the Cloud" is actually a swear word in the federal proverb, used to mobilize those behaviors that are useless to mobilize the masses.

However, the historically recorded "Fortress in the Cloud" is just a cloud wall that is more than 100 meters high and 3,000 meters wide. When a floating ship enters it, it will indeed be affected by the disorderly magic elements in the clouds and mist. The operation of the Tislu core will be greatly infected, and it is very likely that the ship will be destroyed and the people will be killed. In addition, the spirit, magic pool and even the soul of the spellcaster will be severely affected. Rookies with less mental power may even explode on the spot to show you.

But that's all.

But now this "fortress in the cloud" is called this. According to the rewards of the scouts in front of the Winged Man, it is at least 500 meters and the width is definitely more than 100 kilometers. The thunder and lightning storm inside is by no means a fool, because a young and naughty cavalry wanted to get close to observe, but was directly beaten into coke by the thunderstorm and his mount.

If this thing is a "fortress", the Merlot version a hundred years ago would be considered a small earthen encirclement at most. If it weren't for the extra proverbs, they would have been ignored.

However, compared to Pascal's doubts, Red Thunder Light frowned and thought for a moment, and asked: "The official statement of the Fortress in the Cloud A hundred years ago, Meg Lorraine was created with the atmospheric infection array and large cloud condensation technique. However, depending on the master's meaning, it should have other meanings, right?"

"He used...the treasure of the Melo family and the power of the ancient lord's battle flag."

"The ancient lord battle flag in the glorious artifact?" Lu Xi frowned slightly, which was a bit beyond his expectations.

This is one of the magnificent artifacts of the mortal world and one of the strongest magic weapons in the world. According to the records in the book, it is actually more like a magical staff, and because of its appearance and length, it can also make a guest appearance as a spear. In short, we don’t need to elaborate on its power as a magical staff. Anyway, no matter how strong it is, it will be like that. However, the reason why it is called the "Ancient Lord Battle Flag" is a special function.

The so-called "ancient lords" are not the knights' duke, marquis, and the crown, color and flavor of the arcane lord that may appear in the future. They refer to the four elements of the ancient god representing elemental authority and dominance.

During the Battle of the Gods, the Empress of God Yafanna and the Magic Goddess Mistra fell one after another. The four elemental lords changed from order to disorder, which greatly added a piece of brick to the destruction project of the world in the Annihilation Era. We all know the story later. In the second creation of the twelve goddesses, the goddess of the sky, Miss Nathia, educated the Four Elemental lords in a way that convinced people by (physical) reason, so that they could restore order from the chaos and madness, and they also ascended to the position of the Magic Goddess.

Of course, the process of conquering people with reason will always be a little excited. During this process, the broken bones of the Four Elements Lord, the splashed blood, the pulled intestines, the burst brains, etc. There are still many fragments. Goddess Nathia merged these scattered things together, washed away the fierce and violent aura with the endless holy light of the Sky Palace, and then made the ancient lord battle flag and gave it to mortals. This is the so-called "ancient (element) lord battle flag".

It is precisely because this artifact is condensed from fragments of the body and even soul of the Elemental Lords, that there is the power of calling and decree to the earth and water, wind and fire. A holder of the artifact who can completely subdue the "Ancient Lord Battle Flag" is the incarnation of the Elemental Lords, and the King of the Elemental Lords, and naturally the king of magic in contemporary times.

This is why it is called the "battle flag".

During the Qiming War, this brilliant artifact actually fell into the hands of Innort, the leader of the contemporary Liuhuo Cult.

Facts have proved that weapons are weapons, and it cannot be said that they will definitely help the protagonist and his friends because they are created by the righteous god.

The facts also prove that whether it is a "call" or a "decree" is still limited. After all, even the position of the true god cannot be guaranteed to be stable in this world, let alone the magical artifact?

Innort, who can command the earth, water, wind and fire, can be called the king of contemporary magic, brought together eight of the twelve high priests of the Ryuhuo Cult at its peak, but was eventually killed by the Great Sage of Laxis and the Saint of Phoenix Elena, and the eight high priests were either dead or broken. This epic battle that is famous in history, the only regret is that the ancient lord's battle flag was stolen in the battle.

I really didn't expect that this brilliant artifact would fall into Meg Lorraine's hands. Of course, how did he get it? It's hard to say whether it was obtained by his ancestors of the Lorraine family or what he got it himself. Anyway, Meg, the largest traitor in the history of the federal government, was also a complete template for the protagonist before being attacked by Nashibia. It's not surprising that he fell off a cliff and was killed but saw the artifact.

"However, the ancient lord battle flag is actually one of the most difficult to control the brilliant artifacts. Even Meg Lorraine was unable to control its most important power, that is, the power of the command element. He could only control a certain amount of elements with limited control and created a cloud wall that could disrupt the magic order to block Marshal Nashibia's army. This is the so-called Meg's fortress in the cloud." Alexson added.

Lu Xi nodded and asked with a smile: "...These things are all things that have been circulated before your wealthy families, but they are not officially recorded, right?"

Alexson showed a proper expression of shame and said embarrassedly: "After Meg Lorraine was attacked, the Lorraine family decided to hand over the ancient lord battle flag to the Academic Alliance in order not to be liquidated. However, several of the reviewers of the alliance at that time, Xilisas Veranderbart, Bertner Orentian, Salfos Dandylane, and my ancestor Master Temea, deducted the news and became the secret of the top leaders of the alliance, but because they did not have time to inform Master Timister Weber who arrived after the incident... So, for some reason, it became a secret that was only passed down by word of mouth among our heads."

Timister Weber was Lu Xi's grandfather, and the teacher of Marshal Nashibia, the hero of the country saving. After Nashibia was forced and humiliated to the world, he made a big fuss in Elichar. It was at that time that the colorful rose line completely faded out of the central politics of the federal government.

Thinking of this, both heads of the family couldn't help but glance at Lu Xi and swallowed.

"It's understandable that my grandfather, the old master, was busy killing and beating people back then. The people you listed were beaten up by him. Everyone was very busy, so naturally they lacked some communication." Lu Xi smiled lightly.

So, the cold sweat of the two ancestors who were the parties involved in that year came to an instant.

"And what? The existence of this thing is not recorded. I have also been to the treasure library of the Academic Alliance. The scale is pretty good, but the average quality is not as good as that of the Colorful Rose Island. The best one is two pieces of dark gold... So, where has this artifact always existed?"

"Yes, it's in the vault of the head office of Ells Sky Bank..."

Everyone present almost didn't know what expressions to show, and thought that these people were simply the most vivid representative of the national trauma.

The so-called Ells Sky Bank, as the name suggests, is actually the banking industry of the Ells family, but in fact several major families own their shares. Its scale is not large. It is a brother in front of the St. Mourinho Bank supported by the Woking Chamber of Commerce and the Ocean Credit Vault backstage, which is the backstage of the Standard Shipping Association, but in the federal land, it is also a powerful local snake.

Perhaps in the eyes of these aristocratic traits, even if the glorious artifact is their own private property, it cannot be placed in the public treasure library of the Academic Alliance.

"But none of us monopolize the power of this artifact, so each family has such an agreement. Whoever can really control the ancient lord's battle flag can become a recognized leader. However, after Meg Lorraine, no such person appeared. No matter how outstanding a person holds his hand, he is just a very powerful staff, and his most powerful power can never be awakened... until now.
