Chapter 97 The Death of the Archangel
The conversation with Queen Clear Sky opened up an idea for King Three Leaf.
The Moonlight Court can have a relatively loose diplomatic space because they have the World Tree and a queen with excellent martial arts. These are things that the Jade Court does not have, so they are always passive in diplomatic games and worry about gains and losses when facing big powers.
If the Emerald Royal Court can bring in the forces of the Dragon Kingdom, it will be equivalent to having the "World Tree" and the "Moonlight Queen". Although it is a fox pretending to be a tiger, the forest elves have borrowed the power of the Dragon Kingdom. Facing the Golden Shield Empire and the Shuojin people, their own
The waist will be straighter.
The Emerald Forest has joined the "International Alliance" and the "Free Trade Body" at the same time, giving face to both parties. Anyone who wants to cause trouble for no reason must first consider the attitude of the Dragon Kingdom.
As for the entry of the Dragon Kingdom into the Emerald Forest to garrison, will it cause opposition within the forest elves?
There must be some!
But there is a ready-made target that can be used to divert internal conflicts, namely the angels of Sky City.
Because the appearance of the hunting angels indeed caused great sacrifices to the forest elves. The highly respected Dean Vidal even suffered an overdraft of magic power due to the sneak attack of the angel Niltje, and finally died of exhaustion on the eve of the decisive battle.
It is natural to establish an ancient civilization as an imaginary enemy and get close to another ancient civilization. Moreover, the Dragon Kingdom and the Emerald Forest already have a connection. As long as the balance between them is properly grasped, there will be no opposition within the forest elves.
big trouble.
In this way, the dilemma of the Emerald Forest is solved.
The benefits brought by joining the "Free Trade Body" to the Golden Shield Empire are definitely far greater than the benefits brought by joining the "League of Nations" to the World Bank. It can not only soar on the train of human civilization, but also leave a way to retreat to ancient civilization.
The retreat in the arms.
This is how a small country can serve a big country with wisdom!
The effect is also immediate.
After the Emerald Lake Palace sent out important information, the Taotie King of the Dragon Kingdom took the lead in expressing his attitude:
The last time the headhunters appeared, the giant dragon and the forest elves worked together to eliminate them. This time the headhunters appeared, and as a representative of the Dragon Kingdom, I was honored to participate in the siege of the Hunting Queen. The Dragon Kingdom and the Emerald Forest once
They are two pearls on the sea that complement each other. Although we have been separated for thousands of years, the bond between us still exists.
Facing the remnants of the hunters, Dragon Kingdom is willing to do our part. We also hope that through this incident, we can reforge the friendship between the dragons and the forest elves.
I believe that through exchanges, we will be able to find a bilateral relationship that serves the interests of both parties.
After getting the response from King Taotie, King Sanye immediately formally invited King Taotie of Dragon Kingdom to visit the Emerald Forest.
King Taotie said that the Dragon Kingdom will soon organize a visiting delegation to come to the Emerald Forest to open a new chapter in the relationship between the two clans with the forest elves.
The Three-leaf King and the Taotie King expressed their opinions back and forth in the Jade King's Court, and had an open dialogue at a distance. The relationship between the Jade King's Court and the Dragon Kingdom was extremely ambiguous, as if they were newlyweds, and they looked back and forth, as if they were glued together.
The rate of temperature rise made Elder Shuo Jinlin feel anxious.
His core mission in coming to the Emerald Court was to prevent the Emerald Forest from moving closer to the Golden Shield Empire. As a result, the Three-leaf King now publicly expressed his willingness to join the "Free Trade Organization". If the Three-leaf King signed an agreement with the Meteor Star, it would be equivalent to being tied to the Golden Shield Empire.
The rope around his neck was cut open.
As for the Three-leaf King saying that he is also willing to join the "International League", it is tantamount to giving the Shuojin people a fig leaf.
Economic sanctions?
Military threat?
Holding hands with the Golden Shield Empire and the Dragon Kingdom's Emerald Forest at the same time, they don't seem to be afraid.
Elder Lin could only go to the Archangel Elzeret. If the Shuojin people and Sky City put pressure on the Dragon Kingdom at the same time, the Dragon Kingdom might be able to carefully handle the relationship with the Emerald Forest.
Elzeriel and the angels he brought lived in the Shining Gold Hotel. Outside the hotel, there were elven protesters holding banners denouncing Sky City.
The sounds of protest continued to come in from the window, making Archangel Elzeriel extremely irritated and angry.
After meeting the visiting Elder Lin, Archangel Elzere said: "The appearance of the hunting angels is a serious blow to the prestige of Sky City. I need to return to Sky City as soon as possible to report what happened here to the Archangel Council.
.
There is also the matter of the Dragon Kingdom moving into the Emerald Forest, which also requires the Archangel Conference to discuss the correct response."
Elder Lin said: "I have a hunch that someone is behind the situation in the Emerald Forest. This person is most likely the meteorite, the chief assistant of the Golden Shield Empire. He took advantage of the Dragon Kingdom's greed for the Emerald Forest and pushed the Emerald Forest to the Dragon.
country, while exchanging benefits from both parties.
However, the Dragon Kingdom has not yet elected a co-leader, and the attitude of King Taotie may not be the attitude of the entire Dragon Kingdom.
I hope you can come with me to visit the Dragon Kingdom before returning to Sky City. Let’s talk to those Dragon Kings together and let them stop the Taotie King.”
Archangel Elzere considered.
Through the window, you can see that the Kirov airship of the Golden Shield Empire has entered the city from the port. The airship is surrounded by elves riding Pegasus and griffons. They enthusiastically throw their own woven flower crowns into the cabin to express their feelings.
Gratitude to the Golden Shield Empire.
In contrast, there were constant protests outside the hotel.
After a while, Archangel Elzere said: "Do you think the Dragon Kingdom will give up entering the Emerald Forest?"
Elder Lin also noticed the Kirov airship outside the window. He withdrew his gaze and said to Archangel Elzere: "You can give it a try! We know very little information about the Dragon Kingdom, but King Taotie is obviously a very important person.
A scheming and ambitious ancient dragon, if he helps the Dragon Kingdom regain the Emerald Forest, it will definitely bring him very high prestige and influence.
I think there must be ancient dragons in the Dragon Kingdom who don’t want him to become the co-owner.”
Archangel Elzere thought of what King Taotie once said.
"If I can get the Emerald Forest back, the dragon kings of the Dragon Kingdom will definitely choose me as their co-leader."
A unified Dragon Kingdom is not what Sky City wants to see.
"Okay, I'll go to the Dragon Kingdom with you..."
When Archangel Elzere promised to go to the Dragon Kingdom with Elder Lin, an angel broke into the room: "Archangel Elzere, we found the Holy Judgment Angel Azure Sapphire Seaforth."
Hearing Seaforth's name, Elzeriel couldn't help but feel angry.
"These Holy Judgment Angels have no Archangel Council in their eyes, and they only obey the Sword of Oath!" Elzelie realized that Shuojin was still here, and said to Elder Lin: "I have some important things to deal with now. Lin
Elders can go back and prepare to go to the Dragon Kingdom."
Elder Lin knew that he was not suitable to listen to the angels' internal affairs here now, so he said goodbye to Archangel Elzere and left.
After the Shuojin man left, the Holy Archangel Seaphos was escorted in front of Elzeriel by two angels.
One of the Angels reported: "Archang Elzere, we found him in the forest south of the Emerald King's Court. There were two corpses of hunting angels beside him.
We have examined Seaforth and found that his body suffered multiple minor injuries and his mental state is intact. He is not contaminated or controlled."
Archangel Elzere sat there and looked at the Holy Judgment Angel Siphos seriously. He had many scars on his body, and it was obvious that he had just experienced a battle.
"Seaforth, where were you during this time?"
The Holy Archangel Seaphos replied stubbornly: "Archangel Elzere, please call me Azure Sapphire."
"Azure sapphire!" Elzere knew the temper of the Holy Angel, so he changed his mind and asked again: "Answer my question!"
"I was at the Emerald Magic Academy. They caught me and locked me up. I escaped this morning when the guards weren't paying attention."
Elzere asked again: "Since you escaped, why didn't you come to me?"
Seaforth replied: "The existence of hunting angels is the fault of Red Rhinoceros Horn Niltje and I. Now that Red Rhinoceros Horn is dead, I have an obligation to kill all the remaining hunting angels."
"Hmph!" Elzeriel said angrily: "You also know that you have committed a serious crime! The Sword of Oath sent the Holy Judgment Angel to the chaotic source of divine power without the permission of the Archangel Council, which ultimately caused the angel to be contaminated.
He also created the Hunting Angel, a monster that blasphemes angels.
Listen to what the elves outside are shouting! Your Holy Inquisition has caused Sky City to lose its majesty in the secular world!"
Seaforth did not shy away from the power exerted by Elzeret. He looked directly at the superior archangel and said forcefully: "The Sword of Oath did this because the efficiency of the archangel meeting is too low. It is a very simple thing.
It can be discussed by you for a long time.
The appearance of the Hunting Angel this time is due to mistakes made by Red Rhino Horn and I, and has nothing to do with the Sword of Oath and the Holy Inquisition."
"Whether it matters or not is not up to you! I will take you back to Sky City, and the archangel meeting will decide who should be responsible for this angel hunting incident."
Archangel Elzere waved his hand, and the two angels were about to step forward and take Seaforth down.
At this time, Seaforth said: "I can go back to Sky City with you, but I just found another trace of a hunting angel and asked me to kill it."
Elzere said impatiently: "You can't go anywhere now! Tell me where the hunting angel is, and I will send an angel to solve it."
"Okay..." Seaforth asked the angels around him to get out of the way, took a step forward and released magic in front of the Archangel Elzere.
A magical map of the forest surrounding the Emerald Royal Court unfolds.
Outside the city is a large area of open land burned by fire, and beyond that is an endless forest. Seaforth continuously adjusted the angle of the map, seemingly confirming his position.
"It's here!"
Seaforth pointed to a point on the map, and Archangel Elzere looked closer.
As the distance got closer, Seaforth suddenly shouted: "The flare in the mountain and river album!"
In the forest in the magic map, more than ten dim lights shone continuously, and then a beam of strong light shot out from the map.
Archangel Elzere dodged backwards, but Seaforth bumped into the strong light. In an instant, Seaforth's body was shattered into embers in the strong light, leaving behind an angelic light trace composed of pure light elements.
Under the action of the secret technique, the light element burst out with energy like a solar flare. A halo of light spread horizontally, cutting through the layers of walls and cutting off the Shining Gold Hotel.
At this time, Elder Shuo Jinlin had just walked out of the hotel door and was about to take a bus back to the World Bank Jade Palace Branch. Before his entourage could open the door for him, he heard an explosion above his head, and large chunks of gravel and bricks were thrown towards him.
Smash it down, and a car will be smashed into a pile of scrap metal in an instant.
The Shuojin people immediately put on their battle armors and put up shields to protect Elder Lin in the middle, and then rushed out despite the various debris pouring down.
The elves protesting outside the hotel were also stunned by the sudden explosion. They screamed in terror and fled away from the Sparkling Hotel. Unfortunately, they were directly hit to death by falling objects.
The scene was out of control, with elves running around everywhere.
Elder Lin flew up under the protection of his entourage. After reaching the safe airspace, he turned around and saw the 46-story Shuojin Hotel collapsing in the billowing smoke.
How can this be!
Elder Lin is very aware of the quality of the Shuojin Hotel. It is not only constructed with reinforced concrete, but also permanently solidified alchemy columns are sealed on the main support structure. It can be said that an earthquake turned the ground of the Jade Palace upside down, Shuo Jin.
The Golden Hotel also fell straight down.
And now the Shuojin Hotel collapsed like a building block.
Who used such a powerful spell in the Shuojin Hotel? The target of such a powerful spell is...
When Elder Lin thought of this, he panicked and almost fell from the air.
"Quick, quick, quick... don't worry about me! Go and save the Archangel Elzere!"
Elder Lin threw away the followers who were supporting him, pointed directly in the direction of Shuojin Hotel and shouted. The Shuojin people left behind a pair of twins, and the rest all flew in the direction of the smoke and dust.
After a while, two Shuojin people flew over carrying a seriously injured angel.
Elder Lin immediately stepped forward and asked, "What happened? Who initiated the attack?"
The angel's dying reply: "Yes, it's the Holy Judgment Angel Seaphos... He, he killed the Archangel Elzeriel..."
Elder Lin stepped forward and grabbed the angel's shoulders, shouting: "What nonsense are you talking about! Where is Archangel Elzere?"
"He's dead!" The angel endured the pain and replied: "Archangel Elzere withstood Seaforth's full blow at close range, and I saw with my own eyes that he turned into ashes in that light.
Please escort me back to Sky City. I must report what happened here to the Archangel as soon as possible."
Elder Lin let go of the angel and stayed in the air.
In the direction of the Shuojin Hotel, dust was rising into the sky. The Royal Court patrols, who were still at war, had already arrived at the scene. They used magic to suppress the spread of dust and smoke, and evacuated the fleeing elves to a safe area. Several patrols rushed in regardless of the danger.
Collapse zone to rescue the survivors.
In the sky, elven wizards rode flying horses and griffins. They used magic to collect dust in the air, then pressed it into bricks and threw them into no-man's land.
The entire rescue process was quick and orderly.
A huge shadow pressed past the airspace next to the Shuojin people. It was the Kirov steam airship. The mages on the airship jointly cast a large-scale wind magic to collect and compress the smoke and dust in the air to prevent a secondary disaster.
, and also facilitate the rescue team to enter the disaster area.
The Steam Titan of the Golden Shield Empire arrived and joined in the rescue.
Elder Lin looked at the Kirov steam airship nearby, and through the large glass window could see the meteorite of the Golden Shield Empire's first auxiliary.
Chapter completed!
