Chapter 433 284. The Milky Way Falls Nine Heavens
Darkus stood on the cliff, holding a pipe and looking down coldly. Next to him stood Maranur who was chewing in his mouth. He turned his head and glanced at Maranur and suddenly laughed. Maranur, who heard the laughter, turned his head and looked at him inexplicably.
"I think this is the best way. We have money! Our biggest advantage is that we are rich and powerful. My brother, we can't afford to run into it ourselves." Darkus imitated Maranur's accent. This sentence was repeated.
"If I remember correctly, this sentence was indeed said by me, in...that cave in the sinister peaks?" Maranur showed a confused expression at first, and then said with a smile.
"Yes, my brother, we were preparing to attack those shadows at that time." After Dacus exhaled the smoke, he continued, "I always think your words are right, we must make full use of our Advantage."
"Isn't what I said wrong? You have to know that we are family! If it doesn't work, we will go to Kurish and chop up that bloody naga queen!" Maranur did not dwell on this issue, but continued as usual He stretched out his fist and punched Darkus lightly on the arm, then imitated it with a smile.
Darkus, who laughed heartily, also did not dwell on this issue. He is still in Odd Todved and has not gone to Amanville.
"The world is called a cave. If there are mountains, there must be water..." Darkus looked at the surroundings again and muttered in a low voice. He wanted to say a few more words, but he found... But it doesn't matter, there is water anyway. . In addition to strong combat effectiveness and strong impact, his team also has an advantage, that is, there are an absurd number of high-level spellcasters.
After forcing the forest goblins back to Odd Todved, Darkus and Lindyalok did not choose to launch a surprise attack. Instead, they divided a part of their troops to set up a defense line outside Odd Todved, and the other part The troops came to the top of the mountain to perform civil engineering work. In fact, he didn't have to go to such trouble. He originally thought about asking Kaiya and Beloda to drag a comet down from outer space and smash it at Odd Todved. As a result... comets didn't pass by all the time.
Therefore, we can only adopt stupid methods, and we are now in the final stage.
"What's going on with that person?" Darkus suddenly asked after thinking about something.
"A guy with no ideas." Maranur knew who his brother was referring to. He pointed at his head with his finger, and then said with a smirk, "But his ability There is a clear gap between his strength and his thoughts. Maybe we can take him to the outside world, such as Nagaroth?" Darkus
turned his head again and glanced at Maranur, and he shook his head speechlessly. . In his opinion, the joke was not funny at all. When the time came, he said to Malekith: Look what I brought you. Your brother's heir? Why don't you call me nephew? Are you surprised or surprised? Crazy, this is no longer fun. In this case, he could simply become Marist's festival champion, become Marist's lover, and create a child with the blood of the Hellscourge family and Aenarion to succeed Lauren Loren.
When the time comes, Malekith will be given an even bigger surprise. Malekith, who is laughing so irritably, will probably punch the Witch King's hand with the Witch King's Fist on the spot.
"But he told me a useful piece of information." Maranur first laughed after seeing Darkus's expression, and then started showing off again.
"Oh?"
"There is a dragon cave in the shower area, and there is a giant dragon sleeping there."
"Bajir? That forest dragon?"
"No, it's definitely not the forest dragon in Jinchi. I asked him specifically, The giant dragon is called Drake, and it seems to be a red dragon. He wants to establish his dominance over Lauren Loren by taming Drake. I have to say... this is really a genius idea, red dragon! He Do you think the red dragon is the fire dragon of Ulthuan? And I can't think of any connection between the red dragon and the dominance." Maranur said in a joking tone.
Darkus sneered. In his opinion, his brother was right. This was no longer a problem with his ability, but a problem with his brain. How could a red dragon compare to Lauren Loren's Enil political structure? What role does it play? Burn Tal Litanel? Let fear dominate Enir? And why did the surly red dragon listen to that person's manipulations for no reason, and really thought he was Aenarion? Unless you master the method of using black magic to control the red dragon.
"And...he told me the location of the Dragon Cave. He said he saw it in the records of Tal Litanel Library when he was a child. He described it emphatically. He took advantage of the situation when the surrounding people were not paying attention, and took that place. Pages of records were torn off, as if that was something that would make him proud for the rest of his life? I have to say, he is really... smart." Maranur's tone was even more exaggerated this time.
After Maranur saw Darkvus's eyes, he smiled and talked about what had happened before. After he arrived in Cole Imamoor, he was not immediately received by Prince Deslin until he regarded him as Darkvus. Brother Si's identity was revealed.
Maranur, who was also able to talk nonsense, told the opposite side of his situation. He was obviously the one who wanted to come, but what happened was that he came here because he had no choice. His younger brother, who was famous in Lauren Loren, was always looking for opportunities to kill him. It was a frustrating life, and the family's mother and father didn't want to see him. They were cautious in everything in the family, and lived in depression and anxiety every day.
Alatar and Kalien at the dinner table could only keep their heads down and eat to avoid exposing their emotions and ruining Maranur's nonsense.
This was an extraordinary moment. Prince Deslin suddenly felt that he had met a confidant who was in the same situation as him, and he unilaterally became a confidant. There was an air of loyalty to Jinlan, but after a few glasses of wine, he began to lose consciousness. Under Maranur's deliberate guidance, he began to talk even more, resenting his own situation, prejudice against his sister, and dissatisfaction with Lauren Loren's system. After that, he couldn't stop talking, and he couldn't stop thinking about anything. What to say, the matter about the giant dragon came out at this time.
Darkus was speechless and felt a little funny at the same time. At the same time, he also had a clearer understanding of Lauren Loren's political situation. Deslin was not worth his investment at all, and he no longer even thought about meeting her. You must know that during the time of Tal Litanel, Maranur, as the drafter of the terms and the spokesperson of the Hell Calamity Family, signed the Druchi and Enil trade agreement.
Prince Deslin, who is nesting in Cole Imamoor, doesn't even know about such an important thing. If he knew about it, it would be unless he had other purposes, pretended not to know, and tricked Maranul into trap. .
Darkus believes that the chance is very small and the cost is high, but it is not necessary. Although he didn't know Deslin well, he knew Marist. He didn't think there was no one loyal to Marist around Deslin. If he said this at the banquet, Marist would definitely notice this brother.
The important thing is that Darkus also knows that under normal circumstances, Marist has persisted until the end. How many years has the empire been now? There are still five centuries left in Marist's reign, which means that Deslin has been pinned down by his sister, or Marist has found an opportunity to kill him within these five centuries.
In Dacus' mind, Maranur's ability to make trouble has improved to another level. In his opinion, this is just doing nothing while doing nothing, and he doesn't think Maranur is fooling him. He just needs to find an opportunity to ask. Kalien will know what happened at the banquet and whether it is different from what Maranur said.
"By the way, Lord Lindyalok here wants to buy ten cold lizards from us." Darkus did not dwell on Deslin's topic, but brought up another topic.
"What about his giant stag?"
"Maybe it will leave him? Who knows. In his opinion, a cold lizard war group is more cost-effective than a giant stag?"
While Darkus was observing Enil, Lindyalok was also observing Druch. The crushing victory over the forest goblin cavalry that day made him notice the terrifying cold lizards. That night he asked Dark Us wants to buy ten of them and prepare to experiment.
"Didn't you tell him about the various problems of the cold lizards?"
"Of course, so now he is just thinking and thinking. He believes that the existence of cold lizards is needed in the forest, especially in the frost zone, to intimidate the group of humans and deal with those It will also be more convenient for greenskins and beastmen."
Darkus thinks that Lindyalok has an idea, but with the restart of the ancient holy creation, Lauren Loren will be rejuvenated, maybe by then There are more herd deer appearing, but there must be a change in time. Herd deer are animals and must go through a process, rather than growing directly from the ground. And he felt that Lindyalok's life was a bit aggrieved. As the lord of the Frostfall Zone, he could only live a nomadic life due to the invasion of humans and the existence of Prince Deslin. Wherever the tent was pitched, that was the administration of the Frostfall Zone. center.
"Just make friends, but...if I were these Enils, I would choose to keep the herd deer in captivity for breeding. You also know the eating habits of the Enils. I guess they don't even eat the cold lizards' usual meat. The supply cannot be guaranteed. But...that's good, maybe they will rely more on our trade?"
Just when Darkus was about to say something, Renne, riding a Dilophosaurus, ran over.
"Sir, we are ready."
"Send a signal to the following." After Darkus and Maranur looked at each other, they turned to Franais, who was standing behind him, and nodded.
Darkus made full use of his own advantages. He deployed Beloda and Kaia on the west bank of Lake Todeso, and then deployed Alyssa, Asanok and the birdman on Lake Todeso. Between him and Odd Todved, Drusala and Colonia were deployed below as the main combat forces, while he was responsible for observation or guidance when necessary. Moreover, this is the territory of another human baron, not the Baron Nix in the south. This baron re-established the baron on the east bank of Lake Todesau after the fall of Odd Todved, but it doesn't matter.
As the signal rose, the elven army surrounding Odd Todved below moved, and the high-level spellcasters above also moved.
Soon, Darkus heard the sound of running water. Under the guidance of Kaia and Beloda, two spellcasters who were good at heaven-based spells, the water of Lake Todeso was continuously drawn. The three people who were good at life Under the excavations of magic casters and elves, the lake water was introduced into a huge ravine. The lake water was still flowing turbulently. After the huge ravine was filled with lake water, as the elves pulled the hinges in an orderly manner, the gate blocking the water flow was slowly opened.
The water in the ravines high up surged down the cliffs, rushing like thousands of troops. The ruins of Odd Todved below were washed away by the water and looked increasingly dilapidated.
The roar of the waterfall is like the roar of nature, submerging the dilapidated buildings in the rushing water. Traces of the architecture are vaguely discernible, but under the wash of water, it seems that everything will be submerged in the torrent of history.
The continuous flow of water was still pouring down, and in the deep tunnel of the ruins, the goblins gathered at the entrance of the tunnel in horror, watching dumbfoundedly as the lake water with a violent aura poured into it. The roar of water came from the tunnel, echoing in the narrow space, making the goblins feel extremely oppressed and frightened. Everything about them was completely destroyed by the water, and everything collapsed into a mess under the impact of the water.
At this time, the goblins no longer had the order of the past, and the same was true for the spiders in the tunnel. They fled in all directions, trying to escape the invasion of the water. Some were knocked down in the chaos, while others struggled to find escape routes to the ground. Panic and chaos spread, and the goblins were dwarfed by the force of the water.
The snake who managed to escape to the ground subconsciously called the name of the feast on the other side. At this moment, he no longer had the majesty of the past. He looked desperately at the remains of the ruins around him and the water that was still rushing into the tunnel. He looked in front of him. It was a chaotic and terrifying scene, and everything he had fought for was in vain at this moment. The wolf house that was originally located in the ruins and the wolves inside had long since disappeared under the erosion of the water. The goblins who were still trying to rush out of the tunnel let out a desperate cry, and then they and the spider were pushed back by the inertia of the water. And the most important thing is that he knows that there is an Arachnari giant spider deep in the tunnel, which is his trump card and the guarantee of his strength.
Snake Bite raised his head and looked at the waterfall that was still flowing down. He became angry and angry. When he heard the footsteps behind him, he turned around and stabbed it with his spear. When the sound of the spear piercing flesh reached his ears, he saw that it was his usual adjutant who came, but there was no expression of regret on his face. He thought that what he did was right, and his adjutant was sure It is to seize his rights at this time.
Just when the desperate Snake Bite was thinking of a solution, he heard the sound again, but this time it came not from behind him, but from the tunnel. He showed an expression of surprise. When he heard this sound, he knew that his trump card was still alive. The screaming Arachnari giant spider rushed out from the depths of the tunnel against the water flow, and there were a large number of pushing and shoving spiders. The goblin followed the giant spider or ensured that the spider's legs rushed out.
Snakebite bit the tip of his tongue trying to wake himself up. He knew that although it was all gone, there was still another chance, and he set his mind on the Arachnari giant spider and the group of goblins.
The Enils outside Odd Todved were cheering constantly. They looked at the surging waterfall. They knew that the goblins entrenched in Odd Todved were finished. They watched as they were washed in by the water. The goblins, wolves, and wreckage in the ravine continued to cheer. It wasn't until they saw the Arachnari giant spider rushing out that they stopped cheering and became serious.
"The first time I followed the Witch King to the continent of Lustria, I killed one. Adreze, I didn't expect to see it here." Bainie, who was standing in the back row, faced the other person. The cult leaders beside him said that a rare smile appeared on his unsmiling face, but he did not have the slightest intention to fight. He knew the fragility of the Arachnari giant spider. Although it looked very intimidating, it was just that. After all, the one he encountered last time was just hacked to death by them with random knives, and now there are more than just random spiders. knife.
"Adreze, where did this thing come from?" Maranur, who was standing on the cliff, asked in astonishment. When he came to Odd Todved, he originally suggested that his brothers form a group to fight. The group went deep into the ruins and tunnels to compete with the group of Enils. As a result, his brother told him that there was a big spider in the tunnel, but what he didn't expect was that the big spider was too big.
"It came from the Shadow Forest, and it was released by humans." Darkus told Maranur the answer. The entire south of Lauren Loren is the defense zone of the Shower Zone. Anyone who can come to the Frostfall Zone must come from the Shadow Forest to the east. It turned out that things were just as he thought, and Lindyalok told him that it was indeed the case.
"Human beings have to pay the price for their actions. In the words of the dwarf, there needs to be a complete liquidation!"
Just as the two Darkus brothers were chatting on the cliff, the battle outside Odd Todved had already broken out. It starts quickly, ends quickly, and then is gone.
With the support of Druch, Odd Todved was tightly surrounded. There was no combat platform placed on the back of the Arachnari giant spider that rushed in hastily. Even if it was placed under the long-range firepower of the elves, To no avail.
The Arachnari Giant Spider at full power was shot down by Enil's arrows and Drukhi's Reaper Ballista before it could even cross the ditch. The remaining goblins following the giant spider were unable to advance or retreat. Under the command of Lindyalok, the Aenir raised their bows and threw them into the sky.
The group of goblins in Darkus' field of vision were full of chaos. They were constantly pushing and squeezing. The stupid ones tried to retreat to Odd Todved, but as expected they were shot. Became a hedgehog. The smarter goblins also lifted the corpses of their compatriots in an attempt to block the terrible rain of arrows.
"The water of the Milky Way comes up to the sky, and the water of the Yellow River falls to the sky. It's a bit boring, let's go down." Darkus lost interest in watching. He glanced at the rainbow next to the waterfall, shook his head and said.
In the evening, laughter and laughter filled Lindyalok's main tent, corresponding to the snake-bitten head hanging on the flagpole outside, rippling in the wind. The next Amanwyl is more difficult to chew than Odd Tordwyd, but it does not prevent the elves from celebrating this great victory at this moment. You must know that the Enils deduced that there were a large number of goblins hidden in the tunnel below Odd Todved. The number was in the thousands, and there was even a tendency to exceed ten thousand. As a result, all the goblins disappeared this time.
"Thank you for everything you have done for Lauren Loren. You will always be Enil's friend in my heart." Lindyalok walked up to Darkus and raised his glass to him. What he said when they first met.
Darkus didn't say anything, but smiled and raised his glass in response. Although the content of what Lindyalok said was the same, this time there was a little more sincerity in it than last time.
"In the presence of Asuryan! I, Lyn'dialok Elwin declare! Darkus Helban! He will always be Aenir's friend, he will always be a friend of Frostfall, he will always be A friend of the Elwin family, as long as he needs it! Me! Lindyalok will do everything in his power to help!" Clearly a little superior, Lindyalok leaned towards where Darkus was standing after finishing his drink. Getting closer, he no longer had any elf etiquette or particularity at this moment. He directly grabbed Darkus' hand and raised it up under the gaze of the elves, and spoke impassionedly.
There is a reason for Lindyalok to do this. He has thought about it in the past few days. If he were replaced by Darkus, he would probably skip him directly and go to Amanville to solve the problem. He will inform you when everything is settled. He is trapped here. In the end, Darkus did not do this. Instead, he chose to come to him, told him the whole story, and helped him find a place to fill his vacancies. The most important thing was that Darkus helped him eliminate this group of goblins for free. Hidden danger, as for Darkus' previous demand, he thought it was nothing at all.
Under the cheers erupted by the elves in the tent, Darkus smiled, and his smile was more helpless. He felt that Lindyalok drank too much and started talking nonsense.
"My friend, I didn't drink too much. I was sober, more sober than ever. Although we got along very briefly, I think we got along very well. I like you. I know what I'm talking about, Wu Hand of the King, I also know what you really need.
I, Lindyalok, always keep my word, and I don’t know what will happen in the future. Even if Queen Marist disagrees, as long as your ship comes, I will We will try our best to send an army to support you on behalf of Lauren Loren's Frostfall Zone. Although the size of this army will not be too large, I believe you will play the true significance of this army." Lying down in Dark Lindyalok covered his mouth and whispered in Us's ear.
After Lindialok stood up again, Darkus looked at Lindialok with a shrewd look in his eyes with some surprise. He smiled and picked up the wine glass held by the waiter Enil and handed it to Lindialok. After Dialok, he clinked glasses with Lin Dialok, and then they drank the drinks in one gulp, forgetting everything that happened before.
Darkus believes that Lindyalok is right. Although the Enil army may be small by then, it will have enough symbolic significance. It is also the diplomacy of Darkus coming to Ersin Alvin this time. victory.
The political significance of Assur seeing Aenir active in the lands of Ulthuan and fighting alongside Druchi is self-evident. Malekith doesn't seem to need it on the surface, but he needs this recognition in his heart, just like the Daughters of Winter who appear in front of Malekith at the end. At the same time, Enil's appearance will also cause repercussions in Druchi, which is conducive to the change of ideological trends, because it will make the Druchi realize that everything they do is correct, which is why Darkus wants to One of the reasons for signing the trade agreement with Enil.
"If you need it, I can sign a separate trade agreement with the Frostfall area in the name of Ashriel, and I can provide you with all the supplies you need next." Darkus reciprocated the favor and faced Lindyalok. Said with a smile.
Lindyalok nodded without saying anything, but took the wine glass and handed it to Darkus. He knew what Darkus was doing in Tal Litanel, and his relatives in Tal Litanel also brought him samples from the Canton Fair. Those materials were exactly what he and the Frostfall area had done. What the Enils need.
At the same time, it is also needed by human nobles. Although Lindyalok has always disliked humans, it does not prevent him from obtaining benefits from humans, such as food and meat. This is why he set his sights on cold lizards.
Darkus and Lindyalok toasted together again.
After lingering around Odd Todved for another two days, Lindyalok, who had finished the finishing work, set off with Darkus's team and the elite troops other than the remaining troops. At the same time, the messenger gathered all the information about Gray Eye Fever. Get up and send to Tal Litanel. In addition, a team to capture Oswald and the remaining Happy Axemen also set out.
"My lord, I got it!"
