Chapter 80: Plot
As Elion and his troops gathered near the Eagle Gate, the situation in Ulthuan became increasingly tense.
I don’t know who spread the rumor in various kingdoms. The news that Lothern intended to let Elion win during the game has attracted the attention of countless people. Many people have taken the trouble to come to Lothern from various regions and just want to be the first. Over time, we learned the real situation.
In the tavern, a drunken sailor picked up the wine glass. He was a Cosqui man who served in the navy in his early years and is now a member of the Kingdom's trade fleet. He said with an excited expression, "If you ask me, Caledo is the one.
" A real man, for a warrior who suffered injustice, the prince personally fought with another prince, confronted the Phoenix King, and even deployed troops in the strait, just for a fair statement." He drank for a long time
. Hiccups, the sailor poured the wine and took a sip and continued,
"Those dirty politicians only want to deprive the soldiers of benefits, but they never know what honor is."
People sitting at the table next to each other were talking to each other. They glanced at each other, wondering if they wanted to arrest this person, but then several people stood up and echoed the sailor's words, "That is, one person fights eight in the duel, and those shameless Elion people even use their cavalry It is extremely shameless to attack the back and the horse with the gun."
The secret police shook their heads and sighed. In the past few days, they had arrested countless people, but it still had no effect.
Those rumors, no, it should be said that they are facts, have spread throughout the streets of Lothern, and the ignorant people will only think that Caledor's Chen Bing is demonstrating against the Phoenix King, rather than really wanting to attack Lothern.
Elsewhere, in the council hall of a prominent noble in Lothern, the old man at the head threw down the newspaper and said angrily, "This is how Finuba became the Phoenix King! Did he forget to awaken the dragon?" How terrifying is the power?"
"We spared no effort and spent hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated wealth to buy various relationships. We just wanted Etain to have the honor of Phoenix King, but what happened." "Now let's talk about this
. It is also a useless move. How should we deal with the army stationed at the mouth of the strait? Once the Dragon Prince enters Itaien, it will be a disaster." They have no doubt about the combat
effectiveness of the Dragon Prince, especially the leading general Randy.
During his hundreds of years of war, he was even given a title similar to Titlis by Druchi - the Butcher of Caledor. His heart was as strong as steel. As long as it was ordered by the dragon lord, he would do it without hesitation. obey.
The leader Italis, who was sitting next to him, expressed his opinion. He held a very high position in the Noble Council and had a great contribution to Finuba's coronation as the Phoenix King. "Control Imric, this is The only way to make Caledo fearful, the only blood descendant of the dragon tamer family, even the butcher Randy will carefully consider the pros and cons."
Countless rumors began to spread, and at this time, the Dragon Prince was looking at Osu Ann's map.
In the past few days, he had lived in seclusion and rarely left the house. It was almost forgotten that a prince was staying in Lothern, and people from several kingdoms wanted to visit him in person to deal with his relationship with the Phoenix King. contradiction.
One is the person with the greatest political influence, and the other is the person with the strongest military power. If the conflict escalates, the Druchi army who hears this news will inevitably launch an attack on Ulthuan immediately.
This map has a sense of age and has turned yellow. It is a military command map left by Titlis when he was the Phoenix King. There are several arrows on it pointing directly to the deserted island, symbolizing Caledor's past glory.
During this period, Imrik had received various messages frequently, advising him not to escalate the conflict. Fenubar must have given Caledor a large amount of compensation for this matter, but there was no reply.
Looking at the schedule, today will be the semi-final between Davian and Masno. Since Aragir used the identity of the Caledo Embassy to collect all the funds from the handicap, the Caledo Embassy announced that it would be closed. people came to the manor.
And because the prince no longer injects funds, Davian and Masno don't need to show weakness. They seem to be going crazy in the duel field. Often their opponents can't even hold on for a few minutes before quitting. Today will be a royal match. I believe them. The two will give Fenuba a surprise. The Wang family's duel field was filled with people. From the time they were shortlisted to the semi-finals, the two dragon princes did not suffer a single disadvantage. This Caledor civil war has attracted the attention of countless people. In addition, Phoenix The King and the Eternal Queen will traditionally attend this competition, and as guest spectators, it will be even more dramatic.
Soon, after a horn sounded, two dragon princes wearing red fire dragon armor began to enter the venue. The two had communicated privately just now. This game will be held in the form of a formal duel, allowing others to Know, the power of Caledor.
The two came closer. Davian first shook his head, then looked at the crowd watching in the stands, and said with some self-deprecation, "I didn't expect that we would start a duel in front of a group of low-class people." "Come on
, Let me see how much your kid has grown." Masnow picked up the halberd and collided with Davian's sword.
The two said in unison, "With the witness of Ed Reize, the honor of this battle will be dedicated to the dragon lord."
The two left with their backs facing each other. No one was sure of this victory. Masnot was experienced and Davian is very motivated, and the two of them agreed in advance that they would not use the skills of the dark world, but would only rely on their skills to compete.
.........(The battle process is omitted, internal fighting is boring)
Finally, after a long battle, Davian relied on the gap in Masno's defense when using a halberd to get closer. After closing the distance, the short weapon The advantage was brought into play and this victory was achieved.
With bursts of applause and cheers, Davian looked at the defeated Masno in front of him, put away his sword, and pulled him up with his hands.
After hitting Davian on the shoulder, Masino was not disappointed by this defeat. "You are really powerful in these two blows. Did you learn it from Mr. Alfonso?" "Teacher asked me to switch
. The way to fight is to hold a sword in your right hand and a staff in your left hand. Be a battle mage and defeat the enemy with the staff." Davian nodded. Although the old man Alfonso looked a little unreliable, there was nothing to say about his fighting skills. , the magic swordsman is very good at foot combat, not to mention this Hess God's Chosen, which can bombard with long-range spells and behead heads with a close-range sword.
The two of them chatted and laughed and chose to leave without paying attention to the ugly faces of those on the main stage. Davian didn't have to move stones because he had Alfonso's protection. Now everyone is the prince, boss, and Alfonso. Fang Suo was the second child and he was the third child.
As for Masnuo, his brothers who had fought together for many years were still lying in bed recuperating from their injuries, so he had no good impressions of these people.
Ps: Special note, because of the confusion of high-level noble titles, the author made some secondary designs for them.
The leaders of the kingdom are princes, and the heads and heirs of the great nobles are princes and princesses. They are famous and can also be called princes and princesses to show respect.
The middle-ranking nobles call themselves Sir and Madam.
Alfonso was born in an overseas fortress and was not a nobleman, but his status was extremely high, so the protagonist would also call him Your Excellency.
The specific title will vary depending on the character.
