Chapter 454

Ren stepped forward to pick up a source crystal mine from the box.

Starting with a heavy ore, the metal touch takes effect immediately, probing its purity. The purity of this ore is lower than expected, about 1/25. The average purity of the source crystal ore in the empire is about one-twentieth, and the purity of the source crystal ore mined in the coal mines in Shenzhen Hong Kong City even reaches one-tenth, which is a bit worse.

After changing a few pieces of ore for exploration, the purity is almost the same.

However, Ren is not disappointed at all. It doesn't matter if the purity is lower, as long as the output is large enough.

Emily said before that the annual output of this mithril mine's source crystal mine is about 50,000 pounds, and after purification, it can also get 2,000 pounds of source crystals a year!

The batch of source crystal mines in front of him was filled with two boxes, and Ren stretched out his hand to weigh them.

The conspiracy of the source crystal mine is extremely high. It doesn’t look like a very large box, but the ore in it adds up to more than 20,000 pounds. It can purify 800 pounds of source crystals, which is already worth a year of hard work in the empire. The total amount collected is too much.

"Is that all?" Ryan asked.

Viscount Felton is in charge of mining the Mithril Mine, so there should be more than this amount of ore.

A high-level scale-controlling blood guard glanced at Emily before replying: "Your Excellency, we captured the steward of Dragon's Back Castle. After interrogation, this is already all the wealth of the Felton family."

Ren nodded, and most of the ore should be transported to Kingsland, the capital, and handed over to Mark.

He suddenly looked forward to how many source crystals he could capture after conquering the capital.

"Everyone, I want all these 'heavy silver mines'." Ren said to everyone: "I won't ask for it in vain. The heavy silver mines are included in my share of spoils. If the total value exceeds what I deserve, I will make it up with a golden shield, please rest assured."

The distribution of the spoils of the Dragonborn army has been stipulated in advance, and no one can take it for themselves.

Although Ren can take it away with one sentence, and everyone will not have much objection, but doing so seems too out of style, which makes people feel bad.

Wezeland still has two speakers here, and they must be given enough respect.

Both Kadega and Cleos knew that Rennes was collecting heavy silver recently, so they did not interfere. Everyone in Congatro felt it was fair and did not question Rennes' actions.

Emily will not stop her.

She used heavy silver as a bargaining chip to convince Ren to support her restoration plan.

After Ren weighed the source crystal ore, he converted it into a golden dragon based on the market price of Congatero, and asked Luo Wagen to record it, and then put away the two boxes of ore.

He despises the other treasures of the Felton family, including a large amount of mithril.

The Dragonborn army rested for half a day at Dragon's Back Fort, preparing to spend the night here.

In the middle of the night, an army composed of half of the Scale Guards, the Spearwing Knights, the River Bend Legion, fifteen wizards, and a thousand elite centaurs raided Stream City to the east of Dragon's Back Castle overnight. The stream city by the sea was an earldom with a larger area and a larger population, but it fell in less than half an hour in the face of the dragonborn army's surprise attack.

At dawn, the red dragon banner of the Drogonburg family had been planted on the walls of the stream city.

The Earl of Stream City fled at night and disappeared without a trace. His family was not so lucky. Like the Felton family, they were ransacked and exterminated, and the wealth accumulated over the years became the spoils of the army.

After destroying two lords in succession, the Dragonborn army reunited and marched northward to the next territory.

Emily is not in a hurry to besiege the capital.

Her plan is to wipe out all the noble lords along the way. These lords are all Mark's meritorious ministers. They followed Mark to massacre the Drogonburg family. Their hands were stained with the blood of the dragonborn. They would rather kill a thousand by mistake. Don't miss one.

Eliminating these lords is also weakening Mark's power.

The army of dragon descendants pushed all the way to the city of the king's capital, fighting steadily, never giving the enemy the opportunity or soil to attack from behind.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the change.

When the Dragonborn army arrived outside the city of the third lord, they found that the other party had fled, abandoned his fiefdom and wealth, and headed north with his family and extraordinary guards, leaving only civilians and a city.

Emily looked at the empty castle with resentment on her face, she only blamed herself for coming too late.

The owner of this castle is also an earl. During the usurper war that year, she killed double-digit dragon descendants with cruel methods. She has been thinking about revenge for many years. If it falls into her own hands, she will never To let the other party die easily, he must let him taste the pain.

"He can't run away." Ren comforted: "He can only flee to Kingsland, and if he takes down Kingsland, he will definitely be able to catch this guy."

This lord named Earl Bjornson is a legendary transcendent.

Knowing the fate of the two families of Dragon's Back City and Stream City, he would definitely not stay in the castle foolishly, waiting for the Dragonborn army to come to his door, and escape is certain.

And Earl Bjornsen would not be the first lord to abandon the city and flee.

Sure enough, when the Dragonborn army arrived in another fief half a day later, they only saw the empty city where the civilians were left, not even a single extraordinary guard remained.

The giant dragon and the fiery dragon expanded their search range, but no trace of the enemy was found.

Apparently the lords had retreated early, and as expected, they all hid in Kingsland, the capital.

Emily's plan fails.

Eager for revenge, she also had the idea of ​​dividing the army into multiple groups. She divided the army into three groups and went to the three lords' fiefs respectively to prevent the opponent from withdrawing.

The Dragonborn army currently has an advantage. When the troops of the Principality of Morse and the Principality of Danse come to join forces, the army will crush them with dignity.

Regardless of whether Mark is defending the king and not going out, or going out of the city to meet the enemy, the situation is very passive.

With one more decisive battle, the Dragonborn can reconquer the kingdom.

In a good situation, there is no need to take risks at all.

Ren also supports the views of Varogen and Ding Laji, that there is no rush to be complicated, and after the enemy is defeated, the former enemies can be dealt with as they want, and the overall situation is the most important.

After so many people objected, Emily finally calmed down.

The Daxi army continued to move forward, and of course they did not forget to sweep the fiefdoms along the way, and asked the giant dragon and fire dragon to search repeatedly, lest those lords were just hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The king's territory is flat and the marching speed is extremely fast.

two days later.

The dragonborn army is advancing in the cold wind, Ren is riding on Borch's back, the eyes of the soul pull the vision to the nearest, a shadowy big city appears on the horizon ahead, that is the capital of Congatro , is also the largest city in the Kingdom - Kingsland!

Kingsland was built at the mouth of three rivers and is located in the middle of the east coast of Congatro, overlooking the Bay of Dragon's Tooth.

Because winter is approaching, the water surface of Longya Bay has been frozen, and ships cannot enter and exit.

The cold light was reflected from the vast ice surface, and Kingsland's appearance could be clearly seen. The city was surrounded by tall city walls on all sides. The city walls made of rock were tall and thick, with a height of more than twenty meters. Even if you were far away, you could feel its magnificence and solidity.

There is a tower built every 100 meters on the city wall, and the outer wall is carved in the shape of a giant dragon, emitting a light red light, which is the fluctuation of the fire element.

This is the red dragon circle built by the ancestors of the dragon family who spent hundreds of years and invested countless resources and materials in combination with the entire city.

It imitates the blood of the red dragon, not only can it open a super-large protective shield for Jin Silan, but it also has extremely terrifying attack power. It only needs a thousand people to maintain the magic circle when it releases five-ring to eight-ring fire spells. It can resist ten times or even a hundred times the enemy.

In the history of Congatro, the Dragonborn family has relied on the Red Dragon Circle many times to reverse the situation and escape the catastrophe of genocide.

The only time it fell was during the Usurper Wars forty years ago.

The strongest fortress is always breached from the inside. The "Mad King" Shyria was tricked by the Duke of Dans, and was tricked into opening the gate of Kingsland, allowing the troops of the Dans family to enter the city. The battle broke down without attack, leading to the fall of the Drogonburg Dynasty.

Now, the Dragonborn has to face the Red Dragon Circle again.

But this time the dragonborn was outside, and as an attacker, he needed to break through the large magic circle that had protected the dragonborn for more than three thousand years.

Outside the city of Kingsland, to the north, west, and south, there are endless fertile farmlands. Dozens of small towns and villages are scattered around, and the population density is very high. The resident population in the city exceeds one million. The Empire is also home to numerous large cities.

But at this time, Ren didn't see many people entering and exiting Kingsland.

The streets in the city are deserted, and there are few people outside the city.

The residents inside and outside the capital already knew that the war was coming. Those who had the conditions had already evacuated with their families, and those who had no conditions could only hide at home and dare not come out at all.

In the sky above Kingsland, a group of giant white eagles were circling.

That was the snow eagle guard of the Etis family.

The city wall is also full of extraordinary guards, everyone is wearing fine armor, each one is ready to fight, it seems that the horn of war can already be heard in the howling cold wind.

"It seems that Mark has decided to defend the city." Ren thought, not surprised.

Congatro's seven major families currently compare four to three in strength, and only two families stand in Mark's camp. Whether it is high-end combat power or the number of legions, Dragonborn's strength is stronger than Mark's. Lan, relying on the red dragon circle, still has a glimmer of life, and there is only one dead end to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

The defense of the Red Dragon Circle is one level higher than that of the Water Curtain Circle in Castle Run, making it more difficult to break through.

If only relying on the strength in Congatro, it would be almost impossible to break through.

However, with the support of the Wezeland Wizard Group, it was only a matter of time before the formation was broken, which completely broke Congatro's balance of power.

However, there are spellcasters who are legendary or above around Mark, and if he intervenes, there may be a lot of trouble.

A haze flashed in Ren's heart.

He discussed with the two speakers several times, but he didn't have the slightest clue. He couldn't guess the origin of the opponent's spellcaster, so he could only play it by ear.

The Dragonborn army continued on.

When passing through the towns or villages on the roadside, the figure of the giant dragon made people tremble with fear, and some courageous civilians poked their heads out from a distance, curiously looked up at the giant dragon in the sky, and looked at the eyes of the dragonborn army Very complicated.

The army was getting closer and closer to Kingsland, and the centaurs running on the ground also vaguely saw the head of the king's capital.

A few miles ahead, an avenue stretched to the west, and a legion appeared at the end of the road, billowing in smoke and dust, which immediately attracted Ren's attention.

He took a look, recognized the identity of the person, and thought he had finally arrived.

"Borch, keep staring."

Ren gave an order, turned over and jumped off Borch's back, and when he was about to land, he blessed himself with the wings of wind and thunder, glided to the middle of the dragonborn army, landed beside Emily and the others, and said: "The Golden Lions of the Danse family have arrived."

Emily looked to the west, and soon saw the reflection of a piece of golden armor.

She hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Wait for them here." The dragonborn army stopped at the intersection and formed a defensive formation.

After a while, the ground shook slightly.

A large group of knights galloped forward on tall horses. They wore enchanted armor that seemed to be made of gold, held long swords, and hung swords around their waists. Even the horses under them were also wearing vests. Zhonggao held a large banner embroidered with lions on each side, and he ran with amazing momentum, as if he could crush all enemies in front of him.

The Golden Lions of the Dans family are well-known in Congatro.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the ground vibration is getting more and more intense. Instead of slowing down, the running legion is gradually accelerating, like a charge.

Emily's face changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "What do they want to do?"

The scale-riding blood guards surrounded them, and the centaur at the front of the Dragonborn army made a commotion. They took their longbows from their backs, put their spears down and pointed them at the front.

Without Renn's instructions, the Ultramarines in the sky drove the Fire Dragon to lower their altitude, and Rambo's gun was ready to fire at any time.

One thousand steps, eight hundred steps, seven hundred steps...

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and the power of the Golden Lions was close at hand, within the range of the Ultramarines. Just when Emily could not bear to order an attack, the Golden Lions finally slowed down.

More than two thousand war horses slowed down in unison. It took only 300 steps to go from charging to standing still, and stopped 400 steps away from the Dragonborn army. Not a single lion heart knight made a mistake, showing extremely high quality , is breathtaking.

The Lionheart Knight made way for a passage in the middle, and the two knights rode out, left the ranks of the army, and arrived at the front of the Dragonborn army.

They took off the helmets engraved with lions, and revealed their faces. It was the Duke of Dans and his son Coster Dans.

"Let them in." Emily said with a cold face.

The centaurs got out of the way, and the two legendary Lionheart Knights entered the Dragonborn army, dismounted in front of the Scaled Blood Guard, and walked ten steps away from Emily.

Under the watchful eyes of Rennes and the crowd, the father and son knelt down without hesitation, and said loudly, "Walter Dance/Coster pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen!"
