The necromancers stared at the sky and were on full alert. Deipole scanned the sky back and forth fearfully, but could not find anything under the bright stars.
The entire fleet was quietly waiting for the dragon to appear again with the fury of thunder and turn the entire fleet into a ball of dust.
Facing dragons, which are at the top of the world's biological chain, they are just like sheep being targeted by evil wolves. They can only pray helplessly: Almighty God, come and save me. Really.
No, let the grandson next door be killed by the dragon.
The entire fleet stared at the sky in panic, not daring to say a word in silence. The kind of silence that could drive people crazy surrounded everyone on the sea.
Little did they know that the giant dragon that had caused them so much misery had quietly slipped away because of its psychological shadow towards the lich.
Even when the orcs' necks hurt when they raised their heads, and the sea breeze blew their noses to the point of running out of mucus, the fleet remained silent.
After a long time, someone shouted: "The dragon is gone~!"
People in the entire fleet sighed almost simultaneously, and then the fleet slowly revived from its death-like state.
The sea immediately became noisy. The sailors who fell into the sea shouted "help" loudly, and the orcs crawled out from the fragments of the damaged ship, excitedly exchanging the joy of surviving the disaster.
The sailors shouted and wanted to rush the damaged ship to the shore and run it aground.
Others were asking each other about the status of their losses.
Deibole asked the necromancer not far away in a low voice: "Is it gone?"
At this time, the necromancer slowly put down his staff, and the black death energy surrounding him floated into the air little by little. Finally, the necromancer took a heavy breath and said feebly: "Probably let's go, the dragon family has never been patient.
The hunter."
Deipole then let go of his worries and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. According to those legends, although dragons are very narrow-minded and will retaliate, they are also hot-tempered and proud. I have never heard of that dragon being patient enough to lurk several times.
When I was young, I was sneaking up on others.
This is understandable. After all, for the powerful dragon clan, there is nothing that is not up for grabs. Change the place, flap your wings, and maybe you will get another deal. Time is precious, why waste your emotions for a small sesame?
At this time, a cold sea breeze blew, and Deipole shivered coldly. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his back were wet.
Just now, when the giant dragon roared towards them with wind and thunder, Deipole clearly remembered that under the power of the powerful dragon, his mind went blank and his heartbeat almost stopped.
All the strength disappeared, and his reason told him to dodge, but his body did not obey the command.
Until now, Deipole's heart was still beating violently, and his face was flushed due to nervousness.
The necromancer seemed to know what Deipole was thinking, and suddenly said: "It is a feeling of watching death approach you."
Deipole was startled for a moment, then nodded with understanding.
The necromancer's looming eyes behind the black smoke looked at Deipole and said: "Miss, although it is not as exaggerated as in the legend, the dragon's power is real. Facing the gaze of the dragon..."
The withered hands in the black robe of the necromancer patted Deipole on the shoulder and said: "You did a good job."
Deipole just smiled bitterly.
The Necromancer sighed and said: "Okay, I still have to practice, don't let them disturb me."
Deipole nodded.
After the sailors and orcs of the fleet celebrated their own catastrophe, they began to discuss with confusion: Why is there a dragon here? Why did the dragon attack the fleet?
Before Vera smashed the ship, she still confessed a scene saying, "Do justice for heaven, steal from the rich and give to the poor." This slogan is familiar to both orcs and pirates. They also eat this bowl of rice. If you have this voice,
If you shout it out loud, it is guaranteed to be more eloquent and energetic than Vera.
Although everyone couldn't figure out why the dragon appeared in this barren place, they all agreed on why the dragon attacked them: with so many transport ships crowded on the sea, they were just big fat sheep no matter what.
Although some people said that the giant dragon was driven away by the sinister mage in black who made people tremble just looking at it, most people sneered at this. The giant dragon must have seen the smelly orcs on the boat.
, that’s why I left.
People will always look for a reasonable explanation for what happens to them in order to make themselves feel at ease.
But in the end, one theory prevailed: that dragon must be a passing monster, uh, a passing dragon. On the road, I saw a fat sheep below, so I came over to test it out, hoping to make some money, but I found that there was no profit, so
He flapped his wings and left again.
In the end, everyone unanimously voted for recommendation, passed the monthly vote, etc., and recognized this reasonable statement. Because everyone did the same thing when doing business at sea. When they see oil and water, they grab it with a knife, and if they can't grab it, they shoot it.
Just slap your butt and leave.
Deipole does not agree with the following person's statement.
Although she believed that it was no coincidence that this dragon clan member appeared here due to her keen intuition, she could not think of a reason for it and could only suppress her doubts in her heart.
Deipole also thought about whether the Dragon Clan might be with Lorraine, but he immediately rejected this idea. Not to mention whether Lorraine knew about their actions, but he, a human, still couldn't control anyone.
Of the dragon clan.
But it's no wonder that the relationship between Lorraine and Vera has surpassed the limit of everyone's imagination. Vera, a naturally stupid little dragon, has been the only one like her for thousands of years.
Vera's troubles caused the fleet to suffer heavy losses, several transport ships were seriously damaged, and several small boats sank directly.
Deipole had to stop the fleet and repair the damaged ships.
The pirate leaders complained to her sadly that it would take at least seven days to repair the ships. During this period, there was nothing they could do for the time being.
Of course, Deipole knew what these pirate leaders were paying attention to, but she knew that time was precious, and wasting a day would increase the possibility of failure of the operation. She had no choice but to spend a large amount of money and promise huge profits to let the pirates hurry up.
Get back on the road.
After spending another three days and abandoning several ships that could not be repaired, the fleet transporting the orcs finally set sail again.
After leaving these orcs behind, Vera happily continued flying north along the coastline. Soon after, she saw the wide mouth of the Beni River. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking, "This time I finally
There was no wrong flight."
He made a graceful turn at the mouth of the river and headed towards the dark city of Nedel ahead.
When Vera fell from the sky and landed on the top floor of the Governor's Mansion, she first cheered in a low voice, and then complained: "I'm exhausted."
After the Guards soldiers guarding the top floor discovered the unknown black figure, they immediately sounded the alarm and shouted: "Who is there?"
Then he rushed over here, and several people surrounded him from different directions.
Vera blinked her innocent big eyes and said with a smile: "It's me, brother guard."
"Wei...Miss Vera?" The guards wiped their eyes vigorously, looked at Vera in front of them in disbelief, and asked anxiously: "You...why are you back? Your Excellency is back too.
Is it done?"
Vera raised the envelope in her hand and said, "No more. The young master asked me to come back and deliver a letter."
"How did you come back? We all heard movement at the door."
Vera pushed through the crowd and walked downstairs, saying, "This, I flew back."
"Fly~!" There was a "hiss" sound, and the Imperial Guard soldiers took a deep breath in unison. The Imperial Guards also knew that mages could fly, but that was only for a very short period of time.
To fly hundreds of miles from the front line to Nedel City is not something that ordinary magicians can do.
"You just flew all the way back from the city of Croni?" the Guards soldier asked in disbelief.
Vera nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise what else can we do."
Flying back to Nedel City from Croni City, even the legendary Lester would dare to say that he can do it easily.
But Vera still looked relaxed and carefree. How did this cute-looking little girl do it?
The Guards soldier could only sigh with emotion: "This little lady Lorraine is not simple!"
The careless Vera only remembered Lorraine's instructions to "talk less". If she couldn't answer someone's question, she would just laugh, but she didn't know the sensation she caused in the Governor's Mansion.
While Lorraine was rolling with Adeline on the big bed in her room in Cloney City, Catherine and Adele followed Belen in a hurry from the secret passage of the Governor's Palace to the Venture Capital Company.
The two girls were interrogating Epuli, who was next door to Taurex's basement. Beren opened a pipe in a dark place, and the voices from next door could be heard clearly.
Beren personally went to interrogate Taurex, asking in detail all the details that Taurex said he knew. Some things that Taurex had never noticed were extremely useful to Beren.
Lorena quickly yawned and walked into the basement. Adele pulled Lorena, first made a small gesture, and then whispered to Lorena everything that happened.
Even though Luolina thought she was used to seeing strong winds and waves, she was immediately stunned. After reacting, Luolina curled her lips and cursed in a low voice: "I x."
Adele could only smile bitterly.
Soon Hilmeria hurried over and asked anxiously as soon as she entered the door: "What happened? Is Lorraine okay?"
Seeing that Hilmeria's pretty face was a little pale, Lorena rolled her eyes and whispered: "You're hopeless girl."
Adele and Catherine explained the matter. Hilmeria wrung her fingers and said anxiously: "What should we do? Lorraine must not come back. How many available troops can we have on hand?"
Adele sighed and said helplessly: "There are not many left. There are only 4,000 regular troops, and there are quite a few militiamen, but they can't bear the battle."
These four girls have all fought with the army and can understand strategic matters.
Catherine pondered for a moment and said: "There are nearly a hundred thousand orcs operating on the front line of Cloni City. Lorraine's troops are already stretched thin. We cannot let him go without verifying the enemy's situation.
Know.
This war is at its most critical period, and there must be no mistakes on the front line. Otherwise, if we rush back for reinforcements, we may be attacked from both sides by the orcs."
The other three people nodded in agreement.
Belen walked in at this time. Hearing Catherine's words, he couldn't help but sigh at Lorraine's good fortune. How many ladies from noble families only know how to make fashionable clothes, jewelry, and men's vases, but these five people around Lorraine
These girls are not only beautiful, but each has their own abilities, courage, knowledge, and abilities that are far superior to their peers.
Belen sighed in his heart: What a lucky young man!
Lorena counted on her fingers and said: "It will take more than ten days for the army to march from Croni City to Nedel City. Even if Lorraine can come back, if the orcs set up a formation to encircle the point and call for reinforcements,
, Lorraine and the others are tired from coming so far, so it may be difficult for them to benefit."
Beren reminded aloud: "That Amol, Hadu, he often used this trick and defeated several famous generals in our empire."
The four girls thought about the war more than ten years ago and nodded in agreement.
Hilmeria clenched her fists and said calmly: "In other words, we are the only ones left to rely on now."
Catherine regained her composure, showed her dignified demeanor, and said with a normal expression: "It's not a big deal, Maple Leaf Danlin is here, are you afraid of these orcs?"
Adele also smiled relaxedly and said: "That's true. In total, our city can gather tens of thousands of troops. The orcs can't compete with the Almohads. They can come to 70,000 at a time.
"
Luo Linna then said: "There are also hundreds of mages in the Governor's Mansion."
Hilmeria thought for a moment and then said: "I can still recruit almost two hundred priests."
Catherine said: "Based on this, defending the city is not a problem. We should seize the time to stock up on food and grass in the city. If we can't, we will waste it with the orcs. They will definitely not survive this winter.
First of all, we need to find out when the orcs will come and how many there are.
Then, the most important problem is the hidden traitor in the city. For us, they are the biggest threat. Captain Beren, have you found anything?"
Seeing that the boss ladies were all thinking about it, Beren finally breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "There are only some clues. That person only knows the big framework and does not know the details of the operation. However, this is also in line with common sense. These things are usually only found by the leader.
Only then will it become clear.”
Belen spread the record in his hand on the table and said: "The message he passed to the people in the city was that 'the scorpion has wings', and asked them to prepare. The awareness is that the orcs' actions are fast and direct. There are two possibilities. One is
One is that they can really fly, and the other is that they take the sea route, bypassing the Lord's defense line and approaching the city. I think it is more likely that they come from the sea."
The four girls nodded and agreed with Belen's statement. Lorena said: "It's not ruled out that they can really fly. Those necromancers always have some weird spells, but..."
Luolina smiled confidently and said: "There are me and Hilmeria."
Hilmeria said "Yes" and nodded solemnly.
Beren said: "Although I don't know how the orcs can get the ship, we are sending warships south to search for the enemy now, but it may not be of much use. As for the traitors hidden in the city, I have an immature idea.
Prepare to use that Epuli and Taurex to lure them out."
Catherine waved her hand and said decisively: "It will not be a problem to deal with these orcs, even if there are insufficient troops in the city..."
Catherine hesitated and said, "We still have a tough move, but we can't use it unless we have to."
Adele was stunned for a moment, pointed to the north, and said: "Nicole, are you talking about the method that Lorraine said?"
Catherine said cautiously: "Yes, but doing that will have serious side effects and can only be used as a last resort."
Curiosity can kill ten cats. Seeing Catherine and Adele's cautious words, everyone in the room looked at them in surprise. Lorena's eyes sparkled and she said: "That boy Lorraine is the best at these crooked things."
, what exactly is this trick?”
"That's it...and then do this..." Adele lowered her voice, and several people's heads came together to talk in a low voice.
After listening, Luo Linna first slammed the table and said excitedly: "Do it, you must do it. Damn it, Lorraine, how does that kid have such a long head? He is so full of bad things that he is no longer a human being."
Hilmeria pinched Lorena. After hearing this plan, she felt much more at ease and said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lorena turned around and pinched Hilmeria, saying, "Did I say something wrong?"
Belen straightened up and thought about the crazy plan formulated by Lorraine that Adele just mentioned. After deducing it in his mind, he found that as long as he did this, he could completely reverse the situation on the battlefield in an instant, even without much effort.
With enough strength, he can annihilate all the orc troops.
But as Catherine said, the price is also very high. Although Naian can afford the price, he still can't do it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, Belen smiled lonely, shook his head and sighed. Belen was not like other people who didn't know Lorraine, who thought that Lorraine was just unlucky and crawled on the lap of Catherine and Adele.
Got to where we are today.
As Lorraine's closest subordinate, Belen knew Lorraine's abilities and details very well. It can even be said that Archduke Julius can now be arrogant and arrogant, pointing at Russell's nose in front of everyone.
He scolded a bastard so much that most of it was due to Lorraine, a poor country nobleman who only used an oxcart at that time.
Belen respected Lorraine very much. Lorraine had great wisdom and cleverness. Sometimes he acted rogue, such as robbing people and destroying the Ministry of Military Affairs, but he always adhered to his principles, and Belen was very interesting to him.
