The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 279's

"Whooooshis. ”A quiet cold wind blew all over the world, bringing countless snowflakes to cover it.

Delia, dressed in a white fur robe, stood quietly in front of the window, staring at the outside world. Behind him were two magical beasts. One of them is Worldbear, Hatton. The other is Wildthunder Stormhawk, Parry. None of the two animals made a sound.

******* out of Delia's lips.

"Dad, mother ..." A bitter smile was on Delia's face. He really didn't expect his parents to cheat on him. They tell him that his grandmother is seriously ill, but after he returns home behind Wildthunder Stormhawk, he finds that his grandmother is quite healthy.

The first night was back …

Delia angrily asked her parents, "Dad, mother, why did you two lie to me to take me home?"

Delia originally intended to stay with Linley.

Delia's father, Dylla [Dai'ya] Leon, had looked at Delia and asked her, "Delia, are you in love with the Dragonblood Warrior, Linley? Since you first came back many years ago, you refused to accept another boy. Is it because of him? "

Delia was surprised. He hasn't told his parents.

"How do you know?" Delia immediately asked.

His mother breathed. "Delia, why don't you tell us how you feel? It was your master, Lord Longhaus, who informed us after returning to the Empire. He told us to prepare for your wedding and Linley's. ”

Delia who was previously furious suddenly became embarrassed.

His parents glanced at each other, shook their heads, and smiled bitterly. Her father, Dylla, had said seriously, “Daughter, I must earnestly tell you that it is impossible for you and Linley to be together. ”

"What?" Delia looked at her father. His father said seriously, "Delia, Linley's younger brother is the husband of the Seventh Imperial Princess of the O'Brien Empire. Without question, Linley was a Saint belonging to the O'Brien Empire. But you must understand the state of the relationship between our Yulan Empire and the O'Brien Empire. ”

"Right, our Yulan Empire and O'Brien Empire are two mighty empires that are hostile to each other, but what does that have to do with Linley?" Delia was furious. "Could you believe, father, that I'm with Linley will have an impact on the clan?"

"Yes nih . ”

Dylla Leon nodded. "If a clan had a Saint, that clan would rise and flourish. If you and Linley are married ... then what happens if the Yulan Empire and the O'Brien Empire are involved in a large-scale war? Our empire will no longer dare to have much confidence in the Leon clan. ”

Delia immediately became angry.

His father's explanation seemed ridiculous.

"Delia, think about it. If you were the Emperor and you found out that the daughter of one of your greatest clansmen had married a Saint on the side of the enemy, wouldn't you be worried that this clan would betray her? ”Dylla Leon said seriously.

Delia stunned.

There was nothing he could say, as there was a historical precedent for this.

In the past, a princess from a noble clan in the Rohault Empire had married a king from one of the kingdoms in the great plains to the far east. After that, his entire clan had rebelled and joined the royal side of the great plains.

Don't think that the Spiritault Empire is certainly much stronger than the great plains kingdom.

The great plains in the far east had three kingdoms in total.

The people in the great plains were extremely ruthless, and each one of them was born as a warrior. Although in terms of population, their numbers were much lower than that of the Rohault Empire and the Rhine Empire, these three great empires had fought with both Empires for countless years without harm.

"Dad, Linley and I .." Delia started talking.

Dylla Leon has cut it. "Delia's. You are a smart kid. You have to understand everything. Our Leon clan has been establishing itself for a thousand years. That's why we now have our current status. If you marry Linley, even if His Majesty the Emperor does not really do anything for our clan, without question .. His Imperial Emperor's faith in our clan will diminish! "

“Once his trust in us wanes, the descendants of our countless clans in the military and in government will find it very difficult to promote. “Dylla Leon sighed. "Delia, I hope you can consider the interests of the clan. ”

"But father, Linley does not belong to the O'Brien Empire. He has gone to the Anarchist Land. "Delia hurriedly said.

"Anarchist States?" Dylla Leon was startled, and Delia's mother also looked at him in surprise.

Delia quickly explained, “Ya, dad. Linley was not attached to the O'Brien Empire. He wanted to start his own business in the Anarchist Land. In the future, he will become part of the Anarchist Land. Father ... Our Anarchist Land and Empire are not enemies, right? "

Dylla was silent for a moment before nodding softly.

It is true that. In the entire continent, the only decent power of the Yulan Empire considered him their enemy was the O'Brien Empire.

As for the Anarchist Land, who would consider this chaotic land that had several dozen Duchies as enemies?

"If Linley were to really establish himself in the Anarchist Land, then it wouldn't be a problem for you to marry him. "Dylla Leon said slowly. These words were like heavenly music in Delia's ears, making her heart instantly calm.

Dylla Leon had looked at Delia and said solemnly, "My dear daughter, I must remind you, will you be allowed to be with him. If not, you definitely can't. ”

"Dad, I get it. Delia loves her parents, her grandparents, her older brother, her cousin, and other members of her family. He did not want to break his relationship with them.

Dylla nodded. “For now, stay in the imperial capital. Don't go looking for that Linley. ”

Thinking back on the conversation, Delia gently sighed again. Delia understood .. Linley was already a Saint and had an infinite lifespan. As a magus of the seventh rank, he himself would have a long lifespan as well, as he continued to train.

He wasn't too worried about a year or two.

Gazing out of the window towards the north, he saw large snowflakes like feathers slowly drifting up. The entire world seemed extremely blurry, and nothing could be seen clearly. But Delia's gaze seemed to pierce through the walls of reality and look at the distant Anarchist Country, and look at Blackdirt City …

…… .

Outside Blackdirt City, a squad of soldiers took turns running on the black ground, and beside each squad, there was a military officer who was constantly shouting, “Faster, faster! Don't miss! Damn it, if you're left behind, there's no breakfast for you! "

In the raised area, Barker's fourth brother, Boone, and the fifth, Gates, wore only trousers, their upper body bare. They watched the training go on.

During this period of time, Blackdirt City did not attack other cities. They're just training. The cities around Blackdirt City all felt that Blackdirt would pose a threat to them, and their city governors were extremely nervous. But at the same time, the governor of the city did not dare to attack either.

Suddenly, Linley walked over. He watched the soldiers train while heading towards Gates and Boone.

"God, what do you think?" Gates said proudly.

Linley nodded with satisfaction. "Very good . Oh right When do you plan to start attacking nearby cities? "Linley knew nothing about military tactics. The only thing he knew was that unless the circumstances became critical, there was no need for him to get involved.

Boone laughed out loud. “God, we have not attacked anyone, but some people from nearby cities have surrendered to us and promised that they will damage their city from within. ”

"Oh, so?" Linley laughed as well.

Gates hurriedly said. “Of course, how can we make it up? God, think about it. After our strength, five brothers were scattered in the Anarchist Land, many nearby cities were afraid of us. To deal with those cities, however, we don't even need to deploy our troops. Only with ourselves can our five brothers slaughter our way to those cities and easily achieve victory. ”

Linley laughed again.

For this kind of small town, a single expert could decide everything. For example, the city army of Blackdirt City only numbered a few thousand people. A warrior of the ninth rank could easily kill many people. Alternately, he could instantly kill the leader and force the others to surrender!

However, attacking the Duchy was different.

Each Duchy probably had about a hundred thousand soldiers. Similarly, if in the future, they were to fight against the Radiant Church, perhaps the enemy would have a large number of soldiers. Against this kind of human wave tactic, how many people could one expert kill? However, magus in this kind of situation would be very useful.

But as long as there was no Saint level magi about, when two soldiers engaged in a wide-scale war with each other, the quality and capability of each soldier's army was of the utmost importance.

"What did you train them?" Linley frowned as he looked at these scattered troops.

Boone explained, “Master, this is a medium size brigade training. Each battalion was divided into brigades of three hundred men who would train together. Each brigade had a captain and six lieutenants in charge of overseeing and training. This is a very effective training. ”

Gates and Boone had trained previous warriors in the Northern Eighteen Duchies. They know what the best method is.

After coming to Blackdirt City and learning what the situation was, Linley returned to Mt. Black crow .

Like a mortal blue trail of smoke, Linley sipped back into the depths of Mt. Black crow . Linley was currently living in the center of a beautiful lake on Mt. Blackraven, which had several large stones in the middle covering several dozen square meters. Linley had found large stones from elsewhere on Mt. Blackraven, then with his sword, slashed it flat, then moved it to the middle of the lake to serve as his base.

In the middle of the lake, the boulders were only half a meter or higher than the surface of the lake. There, on top of those stones, Linley had built himself a wooden house.

"Bebe, what are you doing?" Linley walked on the water, gracefully arriving at the center of the lake. But when he did, Linley suddenly discovered that Bebe was digging on the side of one of the big rocks.

"Boss!" Bebe turned his head and chuckled at Linley, while at the same time his sharp little claws continued to swipe at the edge of the rock, sending debris everywhere. “I'm making stairs. I'll make some stairs here. That way, in the future when I get into the water, I could choose to rest on the stairs, or lie down in the water. That would be very comfortable. Boss, am I not, Bebe, the smartest? ”

Linley started laughing.

"Slash, slash. ”Slifting with his claws, Bebe gradually dug out six steps, with each step roughly ten centimeters, with the last one in the water itself. Bebe sat behind him on the lowest rung of the stairs, happily hitting the water with all four limbs.

Linley laughed. Seeing the rocks lying around the lake, Linley waved one hand …

"Whoosh!" The wind suddenly started howling, and a terrifying tornado appeared, taking out a human-sized stone and storing it in front of Linley. Beautiful neighborhood Mt. Blackraven had made Linley feel extremely peaceful, and he could not help but think about the person he was in his heart.

Linley's lips curved slightly upwards, a slight smile on his face.

Flipping his hand, he pulled his straight chisel and started carving the statue. Pieces of stone flew everywhere. Slowly ... Human-sized models began to emerge from within the rock. Bebe, his little claws leaning against the stairs, raised his head to stare at the statue.

“Oh ho, Boss, you carved a woman? Haha, I know, it must be Delia! ”Bebe sneering.

But Linley was really engrossed in his carvings. His smooth chisel flashed as fast as lightning, bringing with it the soft and gentle elegance of the wind. After having reached the level of a sculpting grandmaster, Linley was now completely able to carve anything he wanted.

Linley was fully focused on his carvings, and the details began to appear …

From morning to three in the afternoon the next day. After spending more than a day overnight, Linley finally put down his straight chisel.

“Wah "Linley lightly exhaled, blowing fine dust from the statue. The woman he sculpted had a unique heroic aura. Especially, his eyes ..they made the stone statue look as if it was truly alive.

Linley looked at the statue in satisfaction, then turned to stare towards the southwest. In her heart, she thought to herself, “Delia, you should have received my letter by now. ”
