Chapter 246 Hot Potatoes
The fast-flying figure of the legendary lich suddenly stopped in mid-air, the soul fire in its eye sockets swayed as if being blown by a strong wind.
Just now, the soul imprint it made on the dragonborn was cracked.
Originally, it sensed the strangeness of Long En, and wanted to secretly arrest him for interrogation after Long En left, but it never thought that this dragonborn was actually a real dragon transformation.
A moment of carelessness allowed the real dragon to escape too far.
It was also because of Ron's escape that the Legendary Lich was sure that Ron knew the secret of "Elemental Final Chapter".
Thinking that the opportunity to fully control and use this peculiar "Elemental Final Chapter" slipped away, and the opportunity to get rid of the lich's madness passed by, the legendary lich couldn't help throwing his head back furiously, his upper and lower jaws opened It opened at an exaggerated angle, tore apart the dry skin and muscles, and let out an angry and sharp scream.
In the sea area near it, on ships and islands, those who were not strong enough exploded their heads in this furious roar, and their red and white brains were glued to the walls or the faces of the people around them, causing quite a riot. confusion.
As for the source of all this, Ron had already climbed to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters with Floris in his hands.
Thinking of being marked with a soul mark by that legendary lich, Ron felt a little annoyed besides his anger.
The powerful strength of the real dragon and the many victories during this period made him a little carried away, and he didn't even pay attention to a few legends.
As a proud true dragon, Ron has no fear in his heart, he is just annoyed at his own weakness, and secretly said in his heart: "When my strength reaches the legendary level, I must come and kill that lich, and by the way, the "Elemental Final Chapter" in his hand "Give it here."
After escaping from the sea area of the Thousand Islands Country, Ron flew straight south, and his plan to visit the Thousand Islands Country fell through.
All the way to the south, day and night, after changing his figure several times to ask for directions, Ron finally flew back to Bolun territory with Floris.
Flying over the northern border of the Principality of Boren, the ruined towns due to the war, the scorched wasteland and woods all made Ron frown.
Before he left Bolun, the battle was far from intense. What happened in the short ten days since he left the Principality of Bolun?
Ron flew to the western border of Polun, and found that the flames of war had also spread here. Although the towns were not destroyed like the northern border, and a large area of land was burned into a piece of red land, it was not much better here.
Large tracts of farmland looked like they had been harvested in advance, and the walled cities were crowded with civilians who had taken refuge.
And those who couldn't hide in the city were driven away by war and hunger. Thousands of civilians gathered into a wave of refugees and ran aimlessly, eating up the bark and grass roots on the way forward like locusts. .
In order to escape the war from the north, these refugees can only go to the south or the western border.
Ron flew over a group of refugees, seeing the gray and thin faces, and the painful and numb eyes, even Floris, who was so excited and noisy all the way, fell silent. .
As a true dragon, Ron originally thought that he would be ignorant of the suffering that happened to humans, but in the end he could only admit that his heart was not turbulent.
Flapping his wings, Ron flew a little faster.
The rejuvenated Blackstone Town gradually drew closer. Ron's wide wingspan hindered the flow of the strong wind, allowing him to land smoothly on the square built on the former ruins in Blackstone Town.
As the huge shadow fell, the civilians around the square knelt down and worshiped Ron.
Ron glanced at his own statue in the middle of the square, put down Floris, and said to the tauren who was kneeling on one knee not far away: "Call Glengo to see me."
Before the tauren set off, Glengo flew over quickly.
Glengo flew up to Ron, knelt down and said, "My great lord, your servants are always at your command."
Ron nodded, and said, "Give me the observation records of the Duchy of Polun's wars over the past few days."
Glengo bowed his head and said, "Yes, great master."
It took out a stack of papyrus that had been prepared and raised it above its head respectfully.
Ron used the dragon's hand to hold the papyrus in front of his eyes, and his eyes quickly scanned the rows of words.
After Curelia left with Vidirpan and Ron, she lost the perfect scout, the true dragon scout, and her understanding of the situation in the civil war in Boren was weakened a lot.
But Glengo formed a scouting force in advance under Ron's order. This team composed of untrained tabby people is not professional, but the inherent talent of the tabby cats makes them still be called Nice scout.
The information they bring back every once in a while is not very important, but at least it will not be blind to the development of the war.
The northern rebels accepted the nobles who had fled from the capital of the King of Boren, and at the suggestion of the fugitive nobles, they actively sought the help of the Kingdom of Fasciti and brought the troops of the Kingdom of Fasciti into the land of the Principality of Boren in the form of hire.
However, the northern rebels were unable to control the Fasciti Kingdom army that entered the territory of Borun, causing the Fasciti army to loot towns after the war, even looting and killing nobles, and then pushing them to rioting refugees or enemies body.
In order to resist the support force of the Faciti Kingdom added by the rebels in the north, the Duke of Boren finally made up his mind to ask his father, the Duke of Lamington, to send troops.
This move caused the eastern provinces, which had been barely safe before, to react fiercely. Under the banner of protecting the country, they blocked the reinforcements sent by the Duke of Lamington from outside the border.
Scraping every inch of land in the eastern border in advance, and overdrawing the development potential of the eastern province in the next ten years, the army under the Marquis who supported the army in the eastern province exploded with impressive strength, and actually defeated the Duchy of Lamington. The reinforcements could not advance an inch.
The Duke of Boren has now imposed heavy taxes to pay Lamington's war rewards. Countless civilians have gone bankrupt and fled under the heavy taxes, but their reinforcements are completely useless in a short time, so that the front of the northern border is advancing all the way. Pushing, the front line has been pressed to the Great Plains of Botilun where the capital of the King of Bolun is located.
Countless wandering refugees added to the chaos and pressure on the Duke of Boren's side from the rear, but they no longer had the extra strength to manage those refugees.
Ron stacked the papyrus and put it in the storage ring, and said to Glengo: "Send my order to let the kobolds and tauren form an army, bring the humans in Blackstone Town, and gather the people in the west. Refugees, the development of my territory needs more subjects."
Glengo understands that more people also means that its master needs a bigger territory.
"Yes, great master." Glengo nodded respectfully, but reminded: "But if we gather the refugees, our food will not be able to support this round of food harvest, and those human nobles have announced that they will no longer sell food to the outside world." .”
Long said expressionlessly: "They will agree." The sunlight in the early spring of the Great Plains of Botilon was just right, shining on the uncollected corpses and stumps.
A carrion-eating white-necked crow landed on the rapidly decomposing carcass, startling a swarm of buzzing black rot warm weather accelerated the hatching of black rot fly larvae, and a large number of black and gray maggots gnawed and crawled on the corpses.
Kleven Gogg looked gloomy as he waved away the black rot flies flying around him.
"This war must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the disease spread by these corpses will cause the entire royal capital, and even the whole of Bolun, to be covered by the plague!"
The commander-in-chief of the Faciti Expeditionary Army frowned. He also hoped to end the war as soon as possible, and continued to fight in this environment, even those extraordinary soldiers might also be infected with the disease.
Fortunately, their enemy, Vener Gogg, coincides with their ideas.
Vinier Gogg's army has been assembled and marched slowly in a square formation.
Vinier Gogg was sitting on the chariot of the Chinese army, beside Ren and his military minister.
He looked ahead, looking at the high platform built in front of a legion phalanx, and the kobolds standing on the high platform overlooking the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, you really want to hand over the command of the battlefield to someone..."
The military minister hesitated to speak. Although he also saw Scar's commanding ability in war during the conversation with Scar, as a human being, he still couldn't completely trust a monster kobold.
Especially at this moment when he was about to decide himself, all the nobles on his side, and even the fate of the entire Boren.
The closer he got to the front of the battle, the calmer Vinier became, completely forgetting all possible consequences, and just quietly sitting in the center of the army, with the banner of the royal family of Boren flying high, telling those newly recruited and those who were defeated Then he regrouped the soldiers of the Reorganized Legion, and he would be with them all.
Venier said: "Its ability is what you all agree on. Since you have chosen to trust it, it is better to be more thorough."
Scar's face was expressionless, but there was excitement in his eyes, as if he was very excited to be able to command such a large-scale war.
"clang!"
A magic arrow engraved with inscriptions came towards the unusually conspicuous scar, but was blocked by a shield.
The excitement in Scar's eyes grew stronger, and he gave the order to speed up.
The flag commander quickly issued the flag order, and the advancing legion quickened its pace and quickly approached their enemy.
Stepping over the rotting corpses, the armies on both sides collided with each other, and the fiercest fighting broke out in an instant, shouting and killing, blood and flesh flying everywhere, turning the place where the two armies collided and contacted into a round of meat grinder, soldiers one by one Rush into it, and then fall down as broken flesh and blood.
Under the command of Scar, Ron's family legion rushed into the enemy's spear formation, like a sharp knife, ruthlessly piercing the enemy's heart.
Human soldiers followed the tauren and gnolls, and rushed to the line of defense that was torn apart by the family legion.
The army of the Fasciti Kingdom immediately responded, and the legions on both sides immediately surrounded the gap, and were about to surround and strangle the family legions that rushed into the hinterland.
Under Scar's fine command, the human legion, which was twice as strong as the opponent's support force, had already been mobilized, dragging the enemy's elite support into the melee.
The bloodthirsty wolves enjoyed such bloody killings extremely, and each of them swung the poisoned blade with blood red eyes. The splashed blood stimulated their murderous and bloodthirsty nature, making them even crazier.
Even if the enemy's long spear pierced into their flesh and blood, they could still cut off the handle of the gun, and with the spear head in the flesh, continued to charge towards the enemy with a wild laugh.
The spear pierced the tall tauren's skin without armor protection, but was blocked by the fine scales under the hair, so it could only pierce not deep wounds.
Sauta, who was leading the tauren, roared to the sky and stomped heavily on the ground, shaking the enemies in front of them. The kobolds swarmed up and cut the throats of those who were unable to stand still.
A fat and sturdy red real dragon flew into the battlefield, breathing out dragon flames and falling into the crowd, rolling its body and swinging its tail, crushing the surrounding enemies into meat paste.
The elite Fasciti army is a bit timid in the face of these monster enemies, but they can only continue to delay these terrifying monsters under the command of the commander.
Dozens of violent piercing sounds sounded, and the alloy crossbow bolts with thick forearms arrived in an instant, passing through the chests, abdomens, and thighs of several tauren, nailing them to the ground and making them unable to move.
Igadios was also torn from the dragon scales by the crossbow arrows, which ran through the shoulder blade and back of a forelimb. It was difficult to move, and he could only release spells to kill the enemies close to him.
The other crossbow bolts ran over the other family members, tearing their bodies, which were far less tough than the dragon-veined tauren, into two pieces.
Sauta, who blocked the next crossbow arrow, had trembling arms, lifted the steel ax deformed by forcibly blocking the crossbow arrow, and looked in the direction of the crossbow arrow.
A dozen bed crossbows are being reloaded, while the bowstrings of another dozen bed crossbows are stretched.
"dodge!"
As soon as Sauta's roar fell, a new round of crossbow arrows came to them in an instant.
Sauta, who was under fire, chopped off a crossbow arrow with all his strength, turned his head to avoid the crossbow arrow flying towards his head, but there was a hollow feeling piercing through his chest and abdomen.
Blood flowed continuously from the penetrating part, and the pain came like a tide, and Sauta's eyes were quickly filled with blood, which was severely injured.
The berserk gene hidden in the blood made it lose its mind, and pulled out the thick crossbow from its body!
"Moo!"
The deafening roar of the bull made the hearts of the surrounding humans tremble. They saw that the bull-headed monster, whose blood continued to flow from the huge trauma, not only did not fall down, but brandished a deformed giant ax and rushed towards the direction where the soldiers were most densely packed. !
The support troops finally arrived, and the silver-white Goblin Kaino leaped high from the monster, and the lightning shot down out of thin air converged on its scimitar, and chopped off a long sword that was slashing at Sauta's head.
"Goblin?" The swordsman in the full body armor of the nobleman held his sword flower in disdain, and suddenly burst out with a sword at Kai Nuo at a very fast speed.
With a scream from Kai Nuo, dense thunder and lightning fell in a ring, barely forcing the swordsman back, but soon Kai Nuo was at a disadvantage, and could barely support himself with the fearful thunder and lightning.
