At the beginning, when the floating island sent invitations and notifications to the entire continent of Elusalia in the name of the Empire of Azeroth, except for the Kingdom of Karsus, the Rekart Empire, and a few neighboring lords who knew the truth, Apart from this, other large and small kingdoms and lords did not take it too seriously or took it to heart, and there were even fewer responders.
but……
During the battle at Yanfeng Valley, when the floating island withstood the bombardment of three magical railguns without any harm, when the demon army of hundreds of thousands was defeated overnight, when the prince of darkness Bozanlu, and even the god of chaos Ka After the news spread that Osdu was captured alive by the sturdy floating island, the people on this continent were shocked.
Immediately afterwards, the response to the conference related to the future of the world of Elusaria suddenly became enthusiastic.
then!
When Barnhardt, the emperor of the Recarte Empire, Egbert, Leon, Vargas, and Imelda, the commanders of the four legions, led more than a hundred royal gryphon knights on a ship that they did not know was After the aerostat dug out from somewhere and made by ancient magic technology landed on the floating island, what they saw was that the 'warriors' from all over the world gathered here and crowded towards the competition venue. Go and sign up for the lively scene of that 'tournament' meeting.
"Well?"
"There are so many people, are they all going to sign up?"
"Is that what they do?!"
Looking at the adventurers, the generals of the lords of various countries, and some people who didn't know where they came from and who didn't look like warriors or mages at all, Emperor Barnhardt couldn't help but be a little shocked and frowned with dissatisfaction. .
Before coming back, he had thought that he would meet many, many people here, including those familiar and unfamiliar. However, he never thought that there would be so many cats and dogs here to join in the fun, and it seemed that There were also people who specially opened up a route and sent people up who had no chance to come up. This was something he had never thought about.
For example, not far away, he saw a fat man from the south wandering around with a group of women, and a guy like that was obviously not here to compete!
What does the other party regard this conference and this place as, a tourist attraction? !
"Ahem..."
"Let's go!"
"His Majesty……"
"Those from the world of Azeroth, they don't seem to have any restrictions on the conditions for participating in the conference. Anyone who can fly up is allowed to enter. It is normal for there to be more people at this moment."
Egbert heard the complaints and dissatisfaction of their Emperor. However, since they were also guests now and were not qualified to change or comment on the host's arrangements, he hurried forward and carefully advised the other party.
"But this is too much."
"have a look!"
"I don't know how many there are in the city. Just those who came here outside the city must be at least tens of thousands, right?"
At this time, the bald Vargas beside Emperor Barnhart also sighed in surprise and helplessness.
Before coming here, he thought that this place would be a place where elites would gather, and then he would show off his skills and compete with generals from all over the world and other worlds. But who would have thought... that the situation would be like this?
If he had known that there would be such a scene here, he might have brought his wife and daughter Emilia, who was just one month old, to join in the fun.
"!!"
"What's the use of having more people?"
Barnhardt is still a little dissatisfied, especially with those guys who can tell at a glance that they are not very capable and are obviously here to make up for the numbers and waste time.
"But, Your Majesty!"
"That's a good thing too!"
"In that case, how many more of our people should be able to participate?"
Looking at the grand occasion in front of her and the bustling crowds, Imelda suddenly suggested with a coquettish smile.
She even thought that she might as well continue to mobilize some experienced experts from the four major legions of the empire. In that case, maybe there would be some unexpected benefits?
"No!"
"There are only five of us in the Rekart Empire!"
"There is no need for others to participate!"
Unfortunately, Barnhardt simply rejected Imelda's seemingly reasonable and boring suggestion with a wave of his hand.
"Oh well……"
"Your Majesty, do we listen to you?"
With slumped shoulders, Imelda didn't care anyway, and her suggestion just now was just a casual remark. Therefore, seeing that His Majesty the Emperor did not agree, she did not insist too much.
After all, it's not a big deal, and there's no need to make His Majesty unhappy about it.
"Let's go!"
"Did you see that huge arena?"
"I guess the place to register is at the front."
At this time, Leon, one of the four generals who followed Emperor Barnhardt and the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights of the Rekart Empire, came from behind and pointed at the crowded place in front that looked like a busy gathering place. said.
"Let's go!"
"Go and sign up first!"
"Others..."
“We’ll discuss it later!!”
Although he was still very dissatisfied with so many bastards coming to compete, but thinking that the empire was in charge and could not change this matter, Barnhardt had no choice but to wave his hand in annoyance and frustration, leading the four army commanders behind him. Together with a group of walking griffin knights and guards, they walked forward in a mighty manner.
"!!"
"That is……"
However, before they reached the registration point, they had to stop and immediately made a defensive posture, while also looking at the sky.
At this time, as gusts of strong winds and an almost suffocating smell and pressure came, they all raised their heads and looked towards the sky, and saw a huge black shadow fanning from the sky. The wings slowly descended towards them.
"Dragon?"
"Who is that?!"
Barnhardt, who stood upright without making much precautions, squinted his eyes and watched the behemoth pass over their heads and land in the open space in front of them. Then he frowned slightly and looked at the asked the giant dragon with a ferocious head and the young man standing on the dragon's back.
If most of the guys we met on the road were just random fish, then the young man riding the dragon in front was definitely not the one with the contempt and disdain that Barnhardt had. Object.
To be honest, the Rekart Empire has never hunted such a huge red dragon and such a huge ferocious beast. Therefore, a guy who can control such a giant beast must be enough to attract him. His Majesty the Emperor takes this seriously.
"The red dragon!"
"That's right!"
"He is the strongest dragon knight on the continent - Grenier!!"
"I heard……"
"He has been very active recently!"
Seeing a large group of people screaming and moving away from the behemoth and starting to point, Vargas couldn't help but touch the ferocious beast and the young man wearing golden armor and holding a spear on its back. He touched his bald head and sighed sincerely.
However, he didn't know whether the dragon knight was the strongest, but anyway, he knew that the dragon must be very strong, and he, Vargas, would definitely not be able to defeat him.
Apart from anything else, if there was a head-on confrontation with a big guy like that, it would probably be a bit overwhelming if the entire Flame Dragon Legion came together, right?
After all, their Flame Dragon Legion is good at defense but not good at offense. At the same time, they lack large-scale long-distance attacks and powerful magic attack methods. How can they really face a real 'Flamy Dragon' like that, the most equipped crossbow in their legion? The car was definitely of no use. Just thinking about that kind of thing made him feel a little helpless.
"..."
Leon said nothing.
He just crossed his arms and looked with interest at the knight in golden armor who was jumping off the back of the giant dragon, and watched the other person being looked at with admiration, surprise, reverence, or adoration by countless people. , head held high, striding forward from the path where the crowd of onlookers automatically separated, and walked to a certain registration point.
"The strongest dragon knight..."
“I’m really looking forward to it!”
You must know that Leon himself is known as the 'strongest knight in the mainland', and the opponent is the 'strongest dragon knight in the mainland'. Therefore, he couldn't help but think about it, and felt that if he could compete with the opponent, If the time is right, it will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers, right?
As he thought about it, the blood in his body couldn't help but boil.
Nowadays, the army commanders of these empires no longer need to fight in front of the battle, and they no longer need to worry about conquering cities and territories. Therefore, after taking some time off, and without other things intervening, he The passionate and combative heart of a warrior, when encountering a worthy opponent, of course begins to burn again.
"Yo!"
"He looks like a handsome young man..."
"Tsk tsk!"
"I don't know, what are his abilities?"
Immediately afterwards, Imelda twisted her waist and walked to the front, crossed her arms and expressed her opinion.
However, while she was talking, she was staring at the back and butt of the dragon knight 'little brother' in front of her, and smiling with interest, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"how?"
"Have you fallen in love with each other?"
Suddenly, Egbert glanced at Imelda coldly and said this.
"It doesn't matter!"
"But no matter what, strong young people are always more popular than old bones and middle-aged greasy uncles like you."
Imelda smoothed her beautiful golden curly hair and replied with a charming smile without minding it at all.
"..."
With a dark face, Egbert suddenly stopped talking.
After all, he just asked curiously who the woman next to him liked.
In the past, he might have been eager for the other party to hook up with him. In that case, maybe the empire could add another strong general?
But now...
That kind of thing has become meaningless.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Too!"
"I already have a daughter. Thinking about it, it has been so many years. We are no longer young. Aren't we just greasy uncles?"
Listening to Imelda's words, Vargas subconsciously touched his bald head. Then, when he found that his hands were indeed greasy and sweaty, he suddenly grinned and laughed.
"!!"
Imelda couldn't help but twitching at the corner of her mouth when she heard Vargas' words 'we all'.
"No!"
"I'm different from you!"
"I'm still young and beautiful..."
Therefore, she quickly refuted it and said that she was not among the 'big guys'.
only……
Although he said that, no one on this continent knew that the commanders of the four major armies of their empire followed His Majesty Barnhardt at almost the same time. When Egbert was prematurely old, when Vargas was already When Imelda turned into a greasy middle-aged uncle, no matter how much she didn't want to admit it, time was ruthless after all, and she was not the ignorant teenager who went on adventures, wanderings and adventures with a few people after all. The little witch who conquered the world.
"Ah!"
"It's been so many years..."
"Perhaps, the world will soon be peacefully unified, and before long, we might be able to find a place to retire."
Leon also sighed and sighed.
In his opinion, time is indeed the most ruthless thing. It can change many things quietly, and whether you like it or not, you can only accept it.
"Uniform?"
"well……"
Egbert shook his head in frustration.
He actually does not object to bringing peace to the world of Elusaria, and even sincerely welcomes it. However, if it is not their empire but someone else who leads all this, it would be a bit unsightly.
"Let's go!"
"Leon!"
"Let's sign up first!"
"The warrior area is over there!"
"You won't encounter difficult mages in the early auditions. This is great news!"
After everyone sighed for a while, Vargas suddenly put his hand on Leon's shoulder, glanced at Egbert and Imelda behind him with a grin, and then took the lead in moving towards someone in front. Go in a direction.
"..."
Behind the two men were the Emperor of the Silent Empire, Barnhardt, and the group of royal griffin knights who lined up to protect them on foot.
"Good news indeed!"
"I really don't want to meet a rough-skinned man like you!"
"snort!"
Seeing that the other party was about to sign up, Imelda flipped her curly hair proudly, turned around and walked to the other side, and quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd.
"..."
Egbert did not follow, but just stood silently and looked at the outside of this very lively arena. Looking at this place like a busy city, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"!!"
After a long time, without knowing that he was hit, Egbert suddenly turned his head with a fierce expression.
Then……
He saw that the people who just met him seemed to be two young wizards around seventeen or eighteen years old?
"ah!"
"H-Sorry!"
"We really didn't mean it. We were attracted by the giant dragon, so we didn't see you..."
"Really sorry!!"
Seeing Egbert's face and seeing that he was holding a gorgeous short wand inlaid with a large red gem, the two young wizards hurriedly bowed to apologize and stammered explanations. .
"Well……"
"That's it!"
Looking at his mage robe with a footprint on it, and then at the two young faces of the other party, Egbert didn't say much, but slowly put away his staff, nodded, and said directly He turned around and walked away, walking in the direction where Imelda left just now.
"!!"
"Harry!"
"Who is that person? It's so scary. It scared me to death!"
"I think……"
"The dark devil whose name cannot be mentioned who was captured back then, the magical aura on his body is probably not as scary as him, right?"
After Egbert walked away, one of the two young wizards hurriedly tugged on the other's shirt, and then said anxiously.
"I have no idea……"
"How about, Ron, let's not participate?"
Another young wizard hesitated for a while before suggesting with some anxiety.
It turns out that they are not who they are, but Harry and Ron from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As for how they came here, what grade they are in this year, or whether they have graduated, it is temporarily unknown. .
"no!"
"Harry, we followed Hermione here with great difficulty. She has already participated, how can we fall behind?"
"But!"
"Hermione is an archmage and a top student. Her current magic power is said to be many times stronger than Dumbledore's at his peak. Can we compare?"
"But……"
"It's just a matter of participation, and you won't die. What are you afraid of?"
"You all participated in the Triwizard Tournament back then, but I didn't go. Now it's a good opportunity. I won't miss it at all!"
"..."
"Hello!"
"Ron, wait for me!"
Egbert, who was slowly walking forward step by step, heard the words of the two young wizards behind him. However, as the other party said, "Harry," Ron, "Hermione," and "Dumbledore," 'Dark Lord' and so on, he doesn't know them all!
Therefore, he quickly forgot about that little thing and didn't take it too seriously.
Anyway!
Egbert only knew that this time, there were many, many people coming to participate in this competition, and among them, there might be those powerful guys. He had to be vigilant and go all out.
