Chapter 462

"He's crazy!"

Emily said in a deep voice.

Ren shook his head, probably guessing Marth's thoughts. He is the most critical figure in Emily's restoration. He attracted the intervention of Wezeland Floating Void City, and his voice in the Dragonborn Army even surpassed Emily herself.

If Mark can defeat himself in a duel, or even kill himself, then the entire Dragonborn army will be severely damaged.

In today's battle, Mark's plan completely failed.

The army under his command suffered more than 70% casualties. His two most steadfast allies, the extraordinary legions of the Brandon and Etis families, were almost wiped out. The two legendary high-ranking wizards didn't help either. He had already lost Turnaround capital.

Mark's only hope is to decide the winner through a personal duel.

Mark's letter listed the bets for the duel. If he wins, Emilys must return to the Duke of Brandon and withdraw from the kingdom with the Dragonborn army. With the Dragon Forest as the boundary, no further attacks will be allowed within three years. The capital of Kingsland.

Should Mark lose, he would abdicate within ten days and leave Congatro.

As for the result of defeat and death, Mark did not say in the letter, and there is no need to say, but from the wording in the letter, we can see Mark's strong self-confidence.

He didn't think he would lose to Rennes, let alone die in the duel.

Renn has never met Mark himself, so he cannot judge the specific strength of the opponent, but it can also be seen from the results of today's battle that Mark's strength is far above that of Duke Brandon.

Duke Fisher, Prince Morse, Prince Pedro, and many legends of the two families joined forces, but was severely injured by Mark alone, killing three legendary lords. Just now the statistics of casualties have come out. The Sturgeon Warriors and Snake Whisperers of the two families, plus the vassal army, half of the more than 2,000 casualties were killed by Mark!

If it hadn't been for the timely assistance of Chairman Kidejia, Mark would have wiped out the legions of the two major families with half of the giant deer legion.

"cough……"

Duke Fisher coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said with a pale face: "Forty years ago, Marc was the top powerhouse in Congattero. He has been sitting on the Iron Throne these years, but he rarely showed his face, and he did not openly follow him. I thought he was addicted to drinking and wasting his cultivation, but I didn't expect it to be even more terrifying than before!"

"According to my inference, Mark's strength can also be ranked among the top three in the history of Congatro."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Duke Fisher looked fine on the surface, but he was seriously injured when he fought Mark, and was rescued by Caidejia when he was dying, and he still has a moment of fear in his eyes.

Ren's soul eye also saw that Duke Fisher's soul was in a state of extreme weakness.

This 19th-level Sturgeon Warrior and God's Chosen possesses the legendary "Thousand River Blade". It is very difficult for him to even stand up at this moment, and any extraordinary person can kill him.

The two princes of the Principality of Morse were also seriously injured, and their condition was not much better.

"My lord, do you think I can defeat Mark?" Ren asked.

"Rain!"

Emily made a sound in a hurry. Ren asked this question because he was obviously inclined to accept Mark's duel challenge. She had seen Mark with her own eyes and did not agree with this idea.

The dragonborn leaders in the tent all looked worried.

Duke Fisher let out a violent cough, calmed his breath, and then said after deliberation: "Your Excellency, I have never seen a young man like you possess such great strength, but... after all, you are still young, The potential in the future is unlimited, and it will definitely surpass Mark, so there is no need to take risks now."

He said it very euphemistically, but he just didn't like Renn.

Duke Fisher did not mean to underestimate Rennes. He had been defeated by Rennes before, and he knew how strong Rennes was. Even though he was only at the beginning of the legend, he was no less than the other two Speakers of Wezeland. In his opinion, the strength of the three of them is almost the same, but they are weaker than Mark.

Kaidejia shook his head lightly, persuading him, "Ren, don't be impulsive."

"If you have an accident in Congatro, I don't want to go back and face the wrath of the Grand Chancellor." Cleos obviously meant the same thing.

When mentioning Anxi Wodas, everyone was a little bit shocked and opposed it even more.

Ren saw their expressions in his eyes, shrugged and smiled: "I don't want to fight Mark alone, but it seems that there is no other choice."

"I don't believe that Mark would dare to set fire to the capital." Emily said through gritted teeth.

Mark's letter stated that if Ren refused to duel and did not reply within an hour, he would immediately activate all the red dragon circles and release the "torrent of fire" to ignite the whole city.

The Red Dragon Formation consists of more than 200 formations, covering the entire Kingsland.

The torrent of flames is not the strongest spell that the Red Dragon Circle can cast, but it has the largest range of damage. Once the fire spreads, the entire city will be burned.

The population of Kingsland City is over one million, plus the people who have recently hid in the city, there must be even more.

Millions of people were buried in the flames, just thinking about it makes people shudder.

Even without the protection of the red dragon circle, no one can guarantee how many people can be rescued if the dragon descendant army rushes into the city to fight the fire to save people.

Everyone in the tent looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.

Duke Fisher broke the silence, "Based on what I know about Mark, he doesn't seem to be such a crazy person..."

Ren interrupted him, "Can you guarantee it?"

Duke Fisher hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said he didn't dare.

"When people are desperate, they can do crazy things." Ren said lightly: "We can't pin our hopes on the character and conscience of a person who is in a desperate situation, even if it is a one-ten-thousandth possibility, We can't take any chances."

"This is the life of a million people!"

Ren's tone became serious after speaking, making everyone nod silently.

Emily didn't want to succeed in the restoration but get a royal capital with nothing but ashes, she said: "The red dragon circle was built by the ancestors of the Drogonburg family. As far as I know, each circle can operate independently, or connected to each other."

"Mark wants the whole city to be burned by the 'torrent of flames', so he must connect all the magic circles, so that he can achieve his goal through one control."

"If we can cut off the connection between the magic circles..."

She didn't say any more, and everyone understood her thoughts.

Renn didn't take it seriously, "Mark must have sent someone to guard every magic circle. It is too difficult to cut off the connection of more than 200 magic circles without alarming the guards. And the magic circle is not so easy to destroy, as long as It can be done by the wizards, and we have to deal with the guards, we don’t have enough manpower.”

The Wezeland Wizard Group only dispatched 30 wizards, plus four legends, it was still far from enough.

In case the guards of the magic circle are alarmed, they may startle the snake instead.

"I can destroy the Red Dragon Formation in invisibility, but it will take enough time." Cleos said suddenly.

Emily was overwhelmed with surprise, and asked quickly: "Your Excellency, how long do you need?"

Cleos rubbed his chin, "At least three hours."

"I should be able to do it too, but the speed will be a little slower." Kaidejia followed up. As a legendary arcanist, he is proficient in magic circle knowledge, but it is definitely not as good as Kleos, who is a red dragon. Array understanding takes longer.

The two shot secretly together and were able to cut off the connection of the Red Dragon Circle within two hours.

"Two hours..."

Emily said bitterly: "Mark only gave us an hour to reply to his duel."

It has been almost half an hour since the challenge letter was received, and Mark's messenger is still waiting outside the barracks, even if the two speakers act immediately, it is too late.

Mark's timing is so precise, there must be someone to point it out.

Everyone immediately thought of those two legendary wizards.

Ren looked at the two speakers, with questioning eyes, and Kaidejia replied: "The wizard who fought against me was very cautious and did not show any flaws. I can only be sure that he is from the empire and he is from the 'Neser faction' The concept of casting spells, but it may also be deliberately misleading us."

"Nether Pie!" Ren was startled.

He saw more than others. The wizard who fought against Kaidejia was an 18th-level element, and the other one who was teleported to try to sneak attack was a 19th-level arcanist!

Looking at the entire Orienser Empire, there are absolutely a handful of legendary wizards with such a high level, and wizards from the Nesser faction, and the suspicious targets have been narrowed down to a very small range.

Even without knowing what they look like, the soul eye remembers their soul characteristics.

As long as you meet in the future, you can recognize it at a glance.

The vast majority of Netherist wizards in the empire are in the north, and the most famous are the three floating cities of "Nether Floating City", "Pallas Floating City" and "Ain Floating City", as well as "Flanes Void City" Half of the wizards in the world have followed the ideas of the Nether school.

No matter which floating city those two wizards came from, it was no small matter. Their meddling in Congatro was an enemy of Wezeland.

When the Congastro affair is over, there must be a thorough investigation.

Emily has been in the empire for many years, and she is very clear about the meaning behind the "Nether faction", which is a behemoth she would never dare to provoke.

"Or let's retreat."

She hesitated for a long time and finally said this sentence, her face was full of unwillingness.

The dragonborn army immediately withdrew from the king's territory, Mark had no reason to burn the whole city, and Ren didn't have to fight him.

"His Majesty!"

"We can't retreat..."

Varogen, Duke Fisher and others spoke out and did not agree with this decision. Once the troops retreated and Kingsland was rescued, more accidents would inevitably occur. The restoration plan they had planned for many years had to be done at once, and Mark could not be given a chance to breathe.

"I don't want Ren to take risks." Emilys waved her hand, looked at Ren with burning eyes, and said softly, "Congatro's future cannot be without me, let alone you."

Ryan looked back at her.

He understands Emily's meaning. In her future plan, the Drogonburg family will lead the people to convert to the goddess of magic. and her rule over the kingdom also requires her own legion to suppress dissent.

Although mixed with interests, Ren was still a little moved, at least she really cared about herself.

"Even if we retreat, Mark will not agree."

Ren shook his head and said: "He has the guidance of those two legendary wizards, and he will definitely guard against us pretending to retreat, and then secretly destroy the Red Dragon Formation and then fight back. Temporary retreat will not allow Mark to reverse the situation. He named me to fight, He also agreed within one hour, because he wanted to turn defeat into victory by solving me."

Emily frowned, caught in a dilemma.

She doesn't really believe that Mark will burn the whole city even after her army withdraws from the king's territory, but what Ren said makes sense, people who are cornered can do anything, and she dare not take the king's capital. The adventure of a million lives.

One side is to let Renn take risks, and the other side is the lives of millions of people.

Either way is a bad choice.

Emily realized that she was the one who was driven to a dead end, she was very upset, and once again cursed: "He's crazy!"

"No, he's very sensible." Ryan admired Mark a little bit.

However, it is rational people who are more likely to be ruthless and make the best choice for themselves, so as to give greater deterrence to their opponents.

"I accept his duel challenge." Ren stood up and said.

Emily turned her head abruptly.

Cleos, Kadegar, Duke Fisher and others also showed surprise. Before they could dissuade them, Ren continued: "I may not be Mark's opponent, but I will never be killed by him. Worst case scenario is I lose to him..."

"Listen to me."

He raised his hand: "During the duel between Mark and I, attracting everyone's attention, the two speakers sneaked into Kingsland to destroy the Red Dragon Circle, and both sides acted at the same time."

"I will try my best to delay the time and create better opportunities for you."

"At that time, if my life is in danger, the two speakers can save me." Ren smiled, with confidence in the corner of his mouth, "But the possibility of this happening is very low, you all think that Mark is invincible, but Don't forget, I've never lost either."

"Under the holy soul, no one can defeat me, let alone kill me!"

"Under the Holy Soul, I am invincible!"

These words sounded extremely confident, even to the point of arrogance, very arrogant, the tent fell silent, but no one refuted.

It was only then that everyone remembered that the man in front of him had created too many miracles.

Looking at the whole of Allenus, there is no young man who is more dazzling than Ren. His strength can no longer be measured by age, nor can it be judged by extraordinary rank, which has already exceeded people's imagination.

Maybe, this time Rennes is about to create another miracle!

Cleos and Kaidejia don't know where Ren's confidence comes from. Based on their understanding of Ren, they are definitely not blindly confident people, and must have unknown trump cards.

This aroused their interest, so they did not hold back.

Emily bit her lips lightly, her eyes fluttering, and she finally agreed. She immediately bid farewell to Mark's messenger, and Rennes would accept his challenge to a duel.
