The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 311

Anarchist States. The Radiant Church. On public roads, endless processions of soldiers were moving forward, with military officers riding magical beasts or powerful stallions barking at the soldiers in that endless outline.

"Move faster!" Brandishing their whips in the air, the military officers had extremely tight expressions on their faces.

The forced march!

They remember the commandment given to them. They had to rush towards the prefecture city of Sherry as quickly as possible. Outside the city limits of Sherry prefecture was the location where the Baruch Kingdom and the Radiant Church would conduct battle. It is also the closest place to the magicite mine that has access to the Radiant Church.

The mobilization of this great army could not be hidden from the Kingdom of Baruch. Naturally, they had to move quickly.

Right now, at the border of Sherry, twenty thousand soldiers had already gathered. These soldiers who gathered in haste were allowed a day or two of rest after rushing here, and then they would also be sent to do battle.

“We will fight a full battle in the war against the Kingdom of Baruch. ”

In a quiet and secluded mansion, Cardinal Guillermo gazed at the northern sky. The person in charge of this battle was not Arfan. It was Guillermo. After all, in terms of influence among the masses, Cardinal Guillermo had more.

And…

The Saints were not allowed to engage in this battle. Arfan would be useless, but Guillermo, as the Arch Magus of the ninth rank, would be able to make a huge impact.

“One-time pity. The young man who could be of great benefit to the Radiant Church has become our greatest enemy. “Guillermo sighed in his heart. He personally watched Linley grow, and grow from being a magus genius of the seventh rank to an expert who could kill Clayde, a warrior of the ninth rank.

After being inactive for years?

He killed six Angels of the ninth rank, and then became an earth-shaking figure in the O'Brien Empire. And then ... he founded the Kingdom of Baruch in the Land of Anarchists.

“Twenty years have passed. This Linley was now so powerful that even Praetor and the others remained hidden in the Sacred Isle, afraid to come out. "Guillermo pondered to himself.

"My lord?" A knight saluted him respectfully, calling out his name with a reminder.

Guillermo woke up from his reflection. Glancing at the knight, he said, "Let's go. Come with me to the border with Sherry prefecture. Let's go see the Dark Cardinal of the Shadow Cult, and see if the Dark Cardinal Weiss Porter [Wei'si Bo'te] has risen over the past few decades. ”

……

Capital of the kingdom, Baruch City. Royal palace.

Wharton, Linley, Barker and the others stood in rows in the main hall. There was a gigantic army map in the middle of the hall, and a middle-aged man was currently directing a pointer over it. "My lord, the magic mine is here. If only the Radiant Church were to attack us. The place we should choose to fight is the prefecture city of Sherry. ”

Linley and the others all nodded.

"However ..." The middle-aged man shook his head. "Unless the commander of the Radiant Church becomes stupid, they won't choose to attack here. ”

"Oh?" Barker raised an eyebrow.

The middle-aged man continued, “The magicite mine is more than three hundred kilometers from the capital, while the prefectural city of Sherry is four or five hundred kilometers from the capital. It's a straight line! If they had to fight from the prefectural city of Sherry to the magic mine, they would have to cover nearly a thousand kilometers if they followed the path. On the road to the mine, there were more than ten cities, big and small. The Radiant Church will fight us for a thousand kilometers, deep within our territory? Nearly half of their troops had to remain in their garrison with their borders with the O'Brien Empire and the Rohault Empire. Only half are available to attack us. ”

“Because of that, our military power is roughly equivalent. ”

The middle-aged man pointed towards Sherry. "At the same level of strength, if we had to guard inside our city walls as they attacked .. and they were forced to fight through our territory for thousands of kilometers. ”

“Therefore, if the Radiant Church wants to attack us, they have only one choice. Join the Cult of Shadows. They have no other choice! ”The middle-aged man took a deep breath, the pointer in his hand slashed to the side. “Cult of Shadows share a border of over a thousand kilometers with us. The closest place to our magic mine, without question, is here! "

"Prefectural city Cod [Ke'de]!" The middle-aged man pointed somewhere.

“Mine magicite is outside the small town of Nifeng. Nifeng City was one of the small towns under the control of the prefecture city of Cod. From Cod to mine it's only a hundred kilometers away. "The middle-aged man had a serious expression on his face. "If they break through our defenses here, it would be smooth for them to attack into the magicite mine!"

Linley nodded slightly.

This general explained many things very clearly.

“Watts [Wa'ci]. "Wharton suddenly said. "If I gave you the full authority to direct the battle as you please, would you be confident in your ability to win?"

Barker also said, “In addition, I can also give you more than thirty magicite cannons. I'll be responsible for handling the matter of bringing you the necessary magicite gems. ”Barker has a very high status in Baruch Kingdom. He was the only Great Marshal of the Kingdom, and his personal strength was also quite frightening.

As soon as Linley had reached Saint-level in human form, Barker too. As soon as he changed .. he was a peak Eternal Saint Warrior. Barker, who had already mastered the 'force' level, was not slightly weaker than Osenno.

Hearing that they had over thirty magicite cannons, Watts' eyes sparkled.

Watts stuck out his chest and said firmly, "Your Majesty, as long as you give me the authority to command our five hundred thousand soldiers, he said, I have full confidence in my ability to hold our ground in the prefecture city of Cod and resist the enemies. . ”

"Very good . "Wharton revealed a slight smile on his face.

The Baruch Kingdom actually had over a million soldiers, not even including ordinary city guards.

"Your highness . "Watts said solemnly. “I am worried .. that the enemy will come with a force that is scarier and stronger than we thought. If something like this happens and an irresistible force comes along, standing on our ground will be dangerous. ”

"A terrifying strength?" Wharton's confused.

"really. For example, if a Saint were to appear, or if one of the legendary and powerful magus corps of the Radiant Church would be sent here, we would be in great danger. "Watts said solemnly.

Both the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows had spent tremendous time and effort in cultivating their magus corps. Both sides all had powerful magus corps, and the weakest member of this corps was of the seventh rank, while the highest was the Arch Magi of the ninth rank.

A group of over a thousand powerful magi, with several Arch Magi of the ninth rank ruling them, could cast extremely powerful magic spells.

The strength of such a corps was not inferior to the 'forbidden level' spell of the Grand Magus Saint.

“The enemy Saints will not appear. ”

Linley spoke.

Watts immediately looked at Linley. Seeing that it was Linley who had spoken, he immediately became very respectful. Linley laughed calmly. "Don't worry. Neither the Radiant Church nor the Cult of Shadows would send Saints, at least. Also ... like the terrifying magus corps you're talking about … "

"If they want to produce a forbidden-level magic attack .. don't worry, they won't be able to. "Said Linley calmly.

Although they had previously agreed that Saints were not allowed to engage in battle, Linley knew exactly how powerful the forbidden spell was. A single spell might be able to destroy an entire city of Cod prefecture, and a large number of people would die. Linley would not be so stubborn and stubborn as to allow the value of an entire city of people, over a million souls, to die because of the treaty.

Is the life of a million people worth less than a deal?

Especially .

The so-called interstate agreements are only binding and effective when countries are at the same level of power. If one side was unusually strong, even if they tore the agreement to shreds and immediately attacked, then what? This was something quite commonly seen in the Yulan continent.

But of course, Linley would only do such a thing if the enemy magus corps together cast a spell to create an effect equivalent to a forbidden spell.

…

As the commander general, information continued to flow into Watts, and he issued one sequence after another to his subordinates.

News that the Radiant Church forces had arrived outside the prefectural city of Sherry quickly spread to him.

Could it be .. that the Radiant Church is really going to attack the prefecture city of Sherry?

“Sherry prefecture city already has troops there. Send another army here. The two legions will have a total of two hundred thousand soldiers .. Stand within the city, and destroy the trees around the prefectural city of Sherry. Do not give the enemy a place to hide and launch an attack against us. ”

"Sherry's prefectural city was definitely not a place where the enemy would launch their actual attack. They're just trying to tie up our army. All we have to do is stand on our ground. ”

The Cult of Shadows acted exactly as Watts had predicted. Indeed ... they soon joined.

“Bridges in front of the prefecture city of Cod must be destroyed. Also, the streets around the prefecture city of Cod had to be destroyed as well. Do not give way for enemy forces to easily travel towards us. Force them to attack Cod directly. "This order did cause a bit of frustration to the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows.

“In the city of Cod itself, all civilians must be moved. The prefectural city of Cod had to be a military fortress and had to be reconfigured internally for war. ”

One after another orders came from the military headquarters, and they were carefully carried out by each supervisor at each location. The orders came to the magicite mine as well. “Increase production rate. Mine at the maximum possible speed. There is no need to keep trying and disguise your activities. ”

In the previous twelve years, the three powers in the Anarchist Land had only engaged in small-scale battles. They had never been involved in anything like the struggle of today. Even before the battle began, the mobilized troops had reached an extremely high number. Evidently…

This battle is not for training purposes. That's the real deal.

In the endless sky, a blue-robed Linley could be seen flying through the air at high speed towards the Cult of Shadows. Linley knew where O'Casey lived; the Cult of Shadows headquarters in the Anarchic Lands, a seemingly ordinary Shadow Temple.

Linley's gaze was cold.

“O'Casey actually approved the Radiant Church's offer. Hrmph! "

Linley did not understand this, but the Cult of Shadows actually had no choice either. If they were to help Linley, then the power of the Radiant Church would basically be destroyed here in the Anarchist Land. They were afraid at that moment, Linley would suddenly turn it on.

It must be understood …

Linley's side now consisted of Linley, Bebe, Barker's brother, and Barker who had reached Saint-level in human form. This Saint Team is too strong. The Shadow Cult would not be able to defeat them.

If Linley really turned them on and ignored their previous agreement, what could the Cult of Shadows do?

They knew that Desri was actually biased towards Linley.

That Saint Linley was too strong. Only if the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows were present would Linley be cautious. Once either of the two sides were destroyed, then most likely both of them would be finished.

“Saint level experts cannot participate in battles or kill ordinary people, but I can still kill Saints myself. "Linley stared at the distant Shadow Temple. “I'll use death to threaten O'Casey. Maybe it'll help him wake up. ”

Linley used his spiritual energy to scan the entire Shadow Temple.

"Hrm, isn't there?"

Linley frowned. The energy around his body started to wander, and like a flash of lightning, Linley caused the windows to shatter soundlessly into dust which then floated downwards. Linley entered the room.

"Where's O'Casey?" Linley looked calmly at the golden-haired old man in front of him.

The golden-haired old man was one of the most powerful members of the Shadow Temple; a Saint. But he was only an intermediate-level Saint-stage, much weaker than O'Casey.

"Linley?" The old man smiled. "Mr O'Casey ordered me to wait for you here, Mr. Linley. Let me introduce myself . I'm a Four-winged Fallen Angel from the Shadow Cult. ”

Linley looked calmly at the old man.

The old man's attitude was very humble. “Lord O'Casey ordered me to tell you that this battle is inevitable. As for Lord O'Casey himself, he had already returned to the Cult of Shadows headquarters. I am the only Saint left here belonging to the Shadow Sect. ”

Linley frowned.

O'Casey actually ran away to the house.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" Linley looked at the old man. Four Winged Fallen Angel.
