I don’t know what happened in the royal city of Rodel, but the tense atmosphere here became more and more intense.
Walking back around the corridor next to the Golden Tree Cathedral, for a while, the man was carrying a ferocious dragon claw battle ax made from a large ancient dragon's claw on his right shoulder, and his left hand was also made from a large ancient dragon's claw. The dragon claw shield is made of dragon claws, and the body is wearing an alien dragon Kai that looks like it is made up of dragon ribs with hundreds of dragons on it. It wears the same alien dragon helmet on its head, and even the war horses are similar. The tree guard, who was dressed in horse armor and looked extremely ferocious and in dragon attire, slowly rode his horse and came to the empty Elden throne again with that impressive posture.
Just like countless times before, at this time, Elden's throne was still empty. No one was sitting there, and there was only a crown placed there lonely.
Similarly, around the royal court, the Rodel knights wearing bright and luxurious gold armor still wore crown helmets representing the glory of the guardians of the golden tree, holding large golden shields and red tasseled spears surrounding the guards. On both sides of the royal court.
"..."
The golden tree has fallen more leaves, and has laid a thick layer directly in the royal court. It looks golden. However, the guard of the big tree knows that it is not a good sign to have so many fallen leaves.
But he has no good solution. After all, since the magic ring was broken, the golden tree has been getting worse day by day, and the same is true for this junction. It is declining day by day, and he doesn't know when this matter will end.
However, now the dragon-suited tree guard has no time and energy to think about those complicated things.
"Report!"
"The big tree guard in dragon attire came here to see the King of Blessings!"
After feeling some emotion in his heart, he jumped off his dragon-suited war horse, then quickly took a few steps forward, half-knelt down towards the empty throne, and then reported the report so loudly.
Of course, he was not speaking to the empty throne of the opponent, but to the back of the throne, to the 'Blessing King' Greg who was still hiding in the golden tree passage behind the stairs at this moment, and had been refusing to show up. .
He had also heard a rumor that... the Golden Tree rejected their great Blessing King, so the Blessing King had to guard in front of the passage gate day and night, in order to use it. Sincerity and perseverance to influence the golden tree?
Of course, he didn't know if it was true or false, but he would rather it be true than another situation, otherwise, that would be the worst.
"Well?"
"you again……"
This time, Menggert did not let the dragon-suited tree guard wait any longer. It only took a few seconds, just like countless 'meetings' in the past, behind the throne of Elden, on the steps, in the deep Yes, in the golden tree passage that only the King of Elden was qualified to enter, it was quickly spread that the man who could be said to be the reclusive 'Blessed King' Mengt was known for his unique hoarse, rich and unhurried nature. Noisy voice.
"Tell me..."
"What's the matter with you coming to the throne this time?"
Then, the other party asked directly.
"Blessing King!"
"We just caught a fader, and we got some important information from him!"
"My subordinates dare not neglect and come here to report!"
Upon hearing the Blessing King's inquiry, the dragon-suited tree guard did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly told him the inside story he knew, which was about the masked faded person they had caught in the river outside the city. Things were slowly reported...
It turned out that after being tortured, they got a series of shocking news from the unlucky masked man.
It is said that the guy they caught was cooking crabs in the river and didn't provoke anyone. But suddenly a troubled little girl ran out and the girl ate the guy under coercion and inducement. Not to mention the crabs, it also attracted a guy called a 'coprophag'?
Immediately afterwards, after the little girl used a terrible magic to instantly burn the 'dung-eater' to ashes, she actually ran away first and left the man behind?
So, after the guy was caught, he kept doing it and revealed everything that the little girl had done and her specific identity.
Anyway, the dragon-suited tree guards basically didn’t put much effort into it, and they learned from that guy that the little girl was the new king who usurped the throne in Stonewell City, and that the other party had come to the royal city of Rodel alone, and It is possible that he has already entered the royal city.
"Stonewell's Heart King?"
"I see……"
"No wonder..."
"That makes sense. It's her?"
After listening to the report of the dragon-suited tree guard, the Blessing King didn't seem too surprised or surprised. Instead, he sighed with understanding, and then said those words inexplicably.
"??"
"Kings?"
"What are you talking about?"
After the report, the dragon-suited tree guard was obviously a little confused by the reaction of 'Blessing King' Menggert, so after a pause, he took the initiative to ask.
"Ah!"
"It seems that you don't know yet..."
"That's fine!"
After sighing, the blessed king reluctantly continued to explain:
"Just now……"
"Night Cavalry Report..."
"Stonewell City has sent 50,000 troops, most of which are the Fire Eye Knights, plus two giant dragons and some demi-humans, mountain monsters, giants and tree spirits. They have now left Stonewell City and are heading north. We should prepare It’s time to cross the channel and reach Lienia Avenue.”
"Other……"
"It is said that the royal family of Kallia also responded at the same time and sent thousands of troops, including some puppets and mages, preparing to join the opponent's main force in front of the Decodas elevator."
"besides……"
"Galeed's Shattered Star Latarn, I heard that he is also dispatching troops. Will he personally lead his troops to join the Stonewell coalition soon?"
Seeing that the big tree guard seemed to be unaware of the situation, Menggert unhurriedly told the information he had just learned not long ago.
"!!"
"W-what?"
The next second, of course, the dragon-suited tree guard raised his head in horror, then looked at the golden tree passage behind the empty throne in disbelief and exclaimed.
"Hmph!"
"No wonder..."
"I feel a little strange, why did they send troops so hastily, so suddenly, and without any warning at all?"
"It turns out that's what it is..."
"turn out to be……"
"Their king, that little girl, actually came to the royal city of Rodel alone?"
With a hint of sneer and surprise, the unhurried cold snort of 'Blessing King' Menggert came from the golden tree passage again.
"!!"
"Are they really united?"
The Decodas Elevator is an important passage and gateway connecting the Yatan Plateau to the Lienia region. Although it is not the only one, its importance is unquestionable. Otherwise, they would not have sent so many troops there before. Guarded.
And now, if even the Kallia royal family joins the camp of Stonewell's rebels, then that big elevator will be really dangerous.
"Kings!"
"Do you need your subordinates to lead troops to attack?"
So, feeling that something was not going well, the dragon-suited tree guard quickly asked loudly and asked for orders.
"No……"
"unnecessary."
However, unexpectedly, Menggert's firm voice came from the tree tunnel passage. The other party rejected the request of the tree guard and seemed to disagree with sending troops to reinforce the big elevator.
"After leaving the walls of the royal city, and with Latarn and Queen Full Moon around, we won't be able to guard the light card."
"not to mention……"
What's more, Menggert did not continue.
Anyway, he didn't want to send too many troops to fight and consume the enemy in that kind of place.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just those two giant dragons, and then think about the Queen of the Full Moon, those stone mages, and the terrifying Latarn... In short, Mengt’s mind is very clear. He doesn’t think that in the wild, , especially if there are not enough large crossbows and various defenses, the increasingly weak defense force of their royal city will be the opponent of the Stonewell coalition.
In fact, if nothing else, just thinking about the two giant dragons is enough to give their defenders a headache.
However, this is except for the royal city of Rodel.
"Do not worry……"
"Those rebels can't get in with just that little force."
As if to comfort him, Menggert suddenly added another sentence.
I think back then, the royal city of Rodel had experienced countless wars and turmoil, but they managed to hold on in the end. Even the arrogant Latarn had fallen into disgrace here... So, Meng Gert was very confident in Rodel's defense.
In his opinion, even if it was a three-party alliance, he didn't think those people could really break through the two inner and outer walls of the royal city that were like natural chasms!
"!!"
"Up..."
"Then we can do nothing but passive defense?"
The dragon-suited tree guard probably understood what Mengt meant, but since he was unwilling to defend passively, he still asked reluctantly.
"No……"
"What we have to do now is to guard everything, especially the outer wall of the Royal City and the bridge on Yatan Avenue!"
"And next..."
"It will take a while for them to arrive here. Before that, all you have to do is find the little girl as soon as possible, and then..."
"Catch her or destroy her!!"
"Do you understand it?"
Menggert suddenly ordered in a firm and unquestionable sinister tone.
"Kings!"
"Do you want to..."
To get to the royal city of Rodel, Stonewell had to first pass through the long Lienia Avenue, then detour through the east gate of the Magic Academy, and then pass through the Decodas elevator to enter the Yatan Plateau and attack the city. Before that, they had at least With half a month or more, that time difference is obviously their best chance to defeat the enemy!
"!!"
"yes!"
"I understand, I will do it now!"
"Promise to complete the mission!"
He raised his head and glanced at the steps of the golden tree passage behind the throne. After seeing that the Blessing King still had no intention of showing up, the dragon-suited tree guard couldn't help but sigh, then hurriedly responded loudly, then turned around, mounted his horse and hurried away.
After all, their blessing king was right. Since the opponent's king, the leader of rebellion, has come to the royal city, they must capture the opponent, and then either kill them or use them to threaten the rebels who have sent troops to attack. By then, There will definitely be unimaginable results.
Although he had heard a lot of rumors about that little girl and knew that the other party was very powerful and a great mage, he didn't believe it when there was only one person in the other party and he came to their territory. , there are so many powerful knights, mages and strong men of other races in the royal city, why can’t they defeat just one person from the opponent?
Bah!
Bada~! Bada~!
"..."
"..."
"..."
Soon, as the sound of horse hooves leaving the dragon-suited tree guards became farther and farther away, the only ones left in the royal court of the Golden Tree were the Golden Rodel knights who continued to stand guard and did not say a word. .
Of course, in addition to that, there is the empty Elden throne and the crown that has been on it for who knows how long.
So far, no one has been crowned king in the royal city of Rodel...
As for the 'Blessed King' Menggert, who is known as the King of Rodel, his voice has always been heard but not seen. He is a shadow-like existence, and even the knights of Rodel who are standing guard here are not aware of him. No one has ever had the pleasure of seeing it.
…
At this time, a certain troubled little girl was wandering outside the royal city wall somewhere close to the city wall. She was in no hurry to go in, because her purpose of coming here was to cause trouble for a certain 'finger', and It's not like going shopping or causing trouble.
Besides, this so-called royal city looked shabby and not necessarily better than her current Stonewell, so she had no intention of going in to play.
Compared to those things, what she wants to know more now is, where can she enter the underground of this city?
"You..."
"Hello!"
"little girl……"
Suddenly, Anne noticed that not far away there was an ugly, withered old woman sitting on a stone arch seat that looked like a tombstone. The woman was waving towards her from a distance.
"??"
(???.???)????
"Are you talking to someone?"
(゜-゜)
Annie was a little confused, but after seeing that there was no one around, she slowly walked towards the other party.
"oh!"
"Please..."
"Can I read your fingers?"
After seeing Annie approaching and standing three steps in front of him, the ugly and shriveled old woman, whose whole body was curled up into a ball, and even her eye sockets were sunken, and her eyeballs had no shadows, asked so nervously.
"Finger?"
(???.???)????
"Why?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
The other person stinks, is very smelly and ugly, and of course Anne will not approach a stranger like that easily and show her fingers to him.
"I can feel it..."
"Little girl, show me your half-moon that you are so pregnant with. Maybe you will become the King of Elden?"
"Show me?"
Seeing Anne's refusal, the old woman waved again and explained slowly and in a feeble tone.
"don't want!"
(?╭╮?)
"I don't want to be the King of Elden!"
o(′^｀)o
What he didn't say, when he heard what the other party said was that kind of thing, Anne naturally refused without any hesitation.
"you……"
"Haha...hahahaha..."
Suddenly, very unexpectedly, before Annie could leave or want to say something, the other party suddenly laughed sinisterly.
Then……
"Everyone..."
"I saw……"
"King of Elden..."
"She returned to court!!"
Just like that, the other party's very scary voice spread.
"!!"
!? (?''??)?
"What are you doing?!"
?(?﹏?,)?
Anne was startled.
"!!"
"Found!"
"grown ups!"
"She's over there!!"
However, before Anne could ask clearly, the next second, several Rodel knights appeared on the far wall. Then, one of them followed the old woman's voice and looked over. When he saw Anne's appearance, he He shouted immediately.
"superior!"
"Get her!!"
"quick!"
"Surround this place!!"
Immediately afterwards, an ordinary big tree guard appeared not far away. With a wave of the golden halberd, the guard led dozens or hundreds of Rodel knights to surround him.
"You bad guy!"
(??へ??╬)
Seeing that the old woman was still laughing there, and seeing a large group of Rodel knights gathering in the distance, Anne first glared at them angrily, and then looked at the menacing soldiers. .
Then, without waiting for the Royal City Rodel knights to react, Anne flashed and appeared on the high city wall.
"Haha! You can't catch me!"
?(???*)
"goodbye!"
(????-)?
Then, after making a face at the stunned knights, Anne turned her head, jumped into the city, and disappeared in an instant.
"hateful!"
"Hurry up!"
"Blow the horn, don't let her escape!!"
As a result, those angry voices and bursts of rapid horn sounds sounded from inside and outside the city wall.

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Personally, I think, just personally, that Melina may have a deep connection with Three Fingers:
First: Pay attention. Melina’s closed left eye has claw marks from three fingers. The hint is obviously obvious.
Second: Three Fingers wants to burn the world, and Melina also said that she also wants to burn, but she does not recommend that you take the route of the King of Mad Fire. She only wants to burn trees, not the whole world, and thinks Life is precious, and he even threatened you several times not to do that, or else he would send you to your destined death?
Third: Melina said that she was born under the Golden Tree, and was arranged by her mother to find the Faded One, and it just so happened that Three Fingers was imprisoned in the sewers of the Royal City. Can it also be said that she was under the Golden Tree?
Fourth: Melina seems to be very familiar with the epileptic fire. Especially when you are going to take the route of the epileptic fire king, she will explain the pros and cons to you in detail. From this, it can be seen that she must have some mission, but at the same time, she Have your own ideas.
Fifth: She said she couldn't reach the foot of the golden tree and needed you to send her there. Then why couldn't she go? Who was she afraid of and on guard against? Obviously, she may be the messenger of Three Fingers, and there are claw marks of Three Fingers on her eyes, and Three Fingers are sealed in the sewers of the royal city. Once she gets close, she may be caught and blah blah blah, so, Need help from faders.
Sixth: The above is purely personal speculation. I hope you won’t be slapped in the face the day the truth is revealed (*/?＼*)
