Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 163 Rebellion
Suddenly, an elf wearing a postman's hat landed on the terrace outside the window. He bowed gracefully to Dale and said, "Smart and beautiful Miss Jasmine, are you looking at your hometown from afar again? The great empire is caught in the flames of war. Your family will surely be happy that you can study abroad in the peaceful and tranquil Emerald Forest."
Dai Er smiled and responded to the elf: "A busy and free postman, always tirelessly bringing news of distant relatives to everyone. You are the most well-informed elf, what has happened in the outside world recently?"
"The war has spread to the entire world, and important things are happening every day and every hour. The biggest event recently must be the Battle of Yusliska Plain on the eastern border of the Rio Kingdom.
The Republic of Restron and the Fentun Federation assembled an army of 350,000 and launched an attack on the Kingdom of Rio with the support of the Shining Gold People. The armies of both sides have been engaged in a fierce battle on the Yusliska Plain for more than a week. On the most tragic day, there were more than ten thousand casualties.
The latest news is that the newly reorganized Grey Wolf Corps of the Golden Shield Empire's Tedega Hills has arrived in the Kingdom of Rio. It is an army composed entirely of humans of barbarian descent, and the commander of the corps is the newly promoted Lord Sergei. It is said that Lord Sergei swore an oath when he met Queen Christina that the Grey Wolf Corps would never let the enemy set foot in the Kingdom of Rio. "
Since the outbreak of the war, Princess Dale has become very concerned about changes within the empire.
A year ago, Duke Ruthless Meteor led the Imperial Army to pacify the Tedega Hills and captured Duke Celtic himself. After negotiations, Duke Celtic signed an agreement with the Empire, voluntarily giving up the right to use the Tedega Hills and recognizing the Empire's direct rule over the Tedega Hills.
Duke Meteorite of Rage immediately established the Tedega Hills Province and temporarily appointed himself as the governor of the province.
The Duke of Meteorite vigorously promoted human officials, and while reorganizing the Barbarian Legion, he also established the Gray Wolf Legion, which was mainly composed of humans.
The Gray Wolf Legion is now being sent to the Kingdom of Rio to participate in the war. They have received most of the equipment replaced by the original Northern Legion, and after adding a batch of magical weapons, they have become a very powerful main force legion of the empire.
The fact that such a legion was sent to the Kingdom of Rio shows that the situation there is very serious and the military force of the Kingdom of Rio alone is unable to stop the enemy's offensive.
Princess Dale said to the postman, "Thank you, postman. Are you looking for me because of my letter?"
The elf postman finally remembered his business. He patted his head and took out a letter from his bag. "Every time I see the beautiful jasmine, it always makes me forget my work. This is your letter... This letter is very strange. I don't remember when it appeared in my bag. But since the recipient is you, I brought it here.
Please keep it.”
"Thank you..." Princess Daier took the letter and looked at the envelope, which was very strange because there was no sender's address and name on it.
Just as Princess Dale was about to open the envelope, an alarm suddenly sounded in the academy.
"Emergency notice: A rebellion has occurred in the territory of Dragon Country! A rebellion has occurred in the territory of Dragon Country! Without knowing the true situation, any faculty and students of the college are prohibited from going to Dragon Country.
I repeat, no faculty or student of the academy is allowed to go to Dragon Country, and direct contact with dragons should be avoided as much as possible.
All professors in charge of the college are requested to go to the dean’s office immediately!
All professors in charge of the college are requested to go to the dean's office immediately! "
The sudden incident shocked the elf postman. A giant dragon roared past nearby, and the wind it brought almost blew him off the terrace. He grabbed the railing to steady himself, and said nervously to Princess Dale: "The good time for chatting is always short. I must deliver all the remaining letters before the city is under martial law.
Goodbye, beautiful jasmine scent.
The war will end and peace will come!"
The elf postman flipped over and jumped down. A Pegasus rushed up to catch the postman, then quickly flew towards the Emerald Court.
At this time, the entire Emerald Dream Academy was in a panic, and everyone was afraid that the rebellion of the Dragon Kingdom would spread to the Emerald Forest.
Princess Dale quickly ran back to her room, sat in front of the lamp and opened the letter.
"Dale:
Hello, I'm Qingkong! I'm in the abyss now, and can only contact you in this way.
This is a very wonderful journey. The abyss is constantly affecting me, and I am constantly understanding it. I don’t know how the abyss has changed me, but my research on it has yielded some results.
This letter is one of the results...if it can successfully reach your hands.
Now I need you to find the magic spring..."
The letter was very short and ended abruptly without being completed.
Dale didn't know why Miss Qingkong asked her to go find the Magic Spring right now. Ever since the incident with the headhunters, she had an instinctive fear of the Magic Spring. But this was a letter from Miss Qingkong from the abyss, so it must have a very important meaning.
No matter what dangers were waiting for her at the Magic Spring, or what was happening outside, Dai'er immediately packed her bags.
After writing a note to his mentor, he quietly left the Emerald Magic Academy and stepped back into the Emerald Forest where the remnants of the headhunters still existed.
She began her second adventure to find the magic spring.
By this time Luke was already in his King's Dragon's Lair.
There are signs of the rebellion of Silver Ice Dragon King Soto, and the large-scale gathering of ice dragons cannot be hidden from the giant dragons in the Dragon Kingdom.
Faced with the approaching army of frost dragons led by the Silver Ice Dragon King Soto, Luke also summoned his own King's Dragon Army, a powerful force of more than a thousand dragons.
It is strange to say that when Luke ended the war in the Tedega Hills and returned to the Dragon Kingdom from the Empire, he discovered that there was a large group of dragons without a Dragon King. So he quickly took over this group of dragons and the territory they occupied before other Dragon Kings discovered it.
The reason why Luke was able to quickly take over this group of dragons was also because this group of dragons was very close to him.
As for why this group of dragons had no dragon king and why they were so close to them, the dragons themselves didn't know why. They felt that they had a dragon king leading them, but they just couldn't remember who he was.
Luke immediately guessed that the dragon king must be the dragon that entered the abyss, but for some reason the world had forgotten him.
As a result, the king's dragon group expanded greatly, and the volume and influence of his words were naturally very different from before. The more stable the position of the Taotie king became, the more impatient the dragon kings who opposed him became.
Also, because the elves and humans entered the Dragon Kingdom to build cities and factories, their activities were constantly affecting the living environment of the dragons. The Silver Ice Dragon King Soto took the opportunity to stir up dissatisfaction among some dragons, which led to this rebellion.
With the ice dragons taking the lead, more and more dragons joined the rebellion against King Taotie .
More dragons who came to watch the fun also gathered on the outer side of King's Peak.
However, the dragons were still very restrained and did not engage in a fight to kill each other. They just confronted each other at King's Peak.
The dragon kings all knew that the best solution was to resolve this dispute at the lowest cost. If a large-scale civil war broke out within the dragon country, with the outside world watching closely, it might bring disaster to the dragons.
Therefore, the rebels only put forward one condition: King Taotie abdicates!
Use public opinion to force the current regime to fall.
Luke was all too familiar with this kind of scene.
King Taotie proposed negotiations and asked the opposition to send representatives to the King's Dragon Nest.
In order to show his sincerity in not wanting to start a civil war and to establish his prestige in overthrowing the current king, Silver Ice Dragon King Soto was invited to the King's Dragon Nest.
The dragons representing the opposition negotiated with the Taotie King.
The dragon kings who came also took their positions.
Before the negotiations began, Silver Ice Dragon King Soto listed the three major crimes of King Taotie.
The first is that it has destroyed the peace of Dragon Country. Humans and elves have built cities and opened factories in Dragon Country, wantonly collected Dragon Country's resources and committed various thefts, which has deeply affected the normal lives of the dragons. All of this was caused by the Taotie King. He is selling out the interests of Dragon Country, destroying the traditional lives of the dragons, and making them unable to sleep peacefully.
This one received responses from many dragons.
Although the Golden Shield Empire is vigorously cracking down on all kinds of crimes that cross the border and invade the dragon's living area, driven by huge profits, this kind of crime can only be reduced, not eliminated. There are not many such problems in the Elf City, but there are some.
Moreover, as the city expands and more and more people migrate in, similar cases are on the rise, and more and more dragons are being deeply affected.
The second crime was that King Taotie annexed the dragons that did not belong to him.
When King Taotie became the king of Dragon Country, he had only a few twilight dragons around him, and all the dragon kings saw it. Although he later recruited some wild dragons, the size of the king's dragon group was always small. But one day, the number of the king's dragon group suddenly increased, and then the dragon kings discovered that there was a huge dragon group without a dragon king in the territory of Dragon Country.
This is very strange. No one can remember who the dragon king of this group of dragons is. However, the fact that the Taotie King swallowed this group of dragons made all the dragon kings jealous. At the same time, they also became alert. How did the dragon king disappear? Is it related to the Taotie King?
The third crime was that King Taotie did not actively search for the artifact. The other four ancient civilizations sent at least one powerful member into the abyss to search for the whereabouts of the artifact, but King Taotie did nothing.
The old dragons all knew what the artifact meant to the ancient civilization. If the other four civilizations all found the artifact, but the dragon civilization didn't, then there would be only one ending for the dragon civilization.
Compared to the first two charges, the last one was the biggest dereliction of duty for a Dragon King. Even the Dragon Kings who supported the Taotie King could not defend him on this point.
King Soto, the Silver Ice Dragon, was talking there, his voice getting louder and louder as he listed the crimes of King Taotie.
"I know that King Taotie was chosen as the King of Dragon Kingdom after the King's Trial. Although I was not satisfied at the time, I accepted this fact. However, King Taotie's subsequent policies disappointed me and most of the Dragon Kings. He completely forgot that he was the King of Dragon Kingdom, regarded himself as a servant of humans, and constantly sold out the interests of Dragon Kingdom.
If we don't overthrow this lawless king , the Dragon Kingdom will surely become a vassal of humans, or even a mount for humans!"
This was simply the greatest insult to the dragons. The instigation of the Silver Ice Dragon King Soto immediately caused the dragon kings to denounce King Taotie.
Demand that King Taotie abdicate.
The red crystal dragon King Seir stepped forward, and with a fairly high-pitched dragon roar, he made the king's dragon nest quiet.
Then he said to all the dragon kings: "Magic makes dragons wise, and longevity makes dragons thoughtful; a loud voice does not represent the truth, and a unilateral conviction does not represent justice. The King of Dragon Kingdom has never been a leader full of honor. It is his duty to do well, and if he does not do well, he must accept the accountability of the dragon kings.
But no Dragon King has ever lost the right to defend himself."
The words of the Red Crystal Dragon King Saier calmed the dragon kings down.
The King of Dragon Kingdom cannot lose the power to defend himself.
King Soto, the Silver Ice Dragon, snorted icy mist from his nostrils and said, "King Taotie can certainly defend himself. That will make us see more clearly the crimes he committed."
King Ser, the Red Crystal Dragon, said to Luke, who was standing in the center of the King's Dragon Nest, "The Dragon Kings need a reasonable explanation."
Luke said to the dragon kings, "If I make any decision and need to explain everything to you, it will not only waste precious time, but also risk leaking important secrets.
King Soto, you have secretly visited the Sky City and have been summoned by the Sword of Oath. Don't think you did it in secret. "
The dragon kings looked at the Silver Ice Dragon King Soto.
A thousand years of peace could not erase the hatred from a thousand years ago. It would be inappropriate for King Soto to secretly meet the Sword of Oath when many old guys who participated in the ancient wars were present.
King Soto, the Silver Ice Dragon, never expected that such a secret matter as his seeing the Sword of Oath would be known by King Taotie.
How did he know?
Was it me who leaked the information, or was it Sky City that betrayed me?
"I have met the Sword of Oath." Not knowing how the secret was leaked, King Soto simply admitted it and explained himself, "The Sword of Oath believes that human civilization is a huge threat to our ancient civilization, and I think so too. Moreover, he took the initiative to invite me to meet him this time. I was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so I went to Sky City secretly.
I have not done anything that would harm the interests of Dragon Country."
"Of course I know you haven't done anything that would harm the interests of the Dragon Nation, because you don't have the ability to do so." After mocking King Soto, Luke continued to say to the Dragon Kings: "Although the Sword of Oath has become the Archangel of Sky City, his act of killing the former Archangel caused dissatisfaction among some angels, so I got a channel to get information from Sky City.
The same is true in Longguo. Any word I say here may reach the ears of our opponents.
Especially, one of the charges you made against me is related to a divine weapon. No! Two of them are related to a divine weapon. Do you still want to hear my explanation?
See, I just let a secret out."
The dragon kings were silent.
There are two items related to artifacts. Besides three, which one is there?
