Chapter 284: A Fragile Alliance

The two forces pushed to the front by the times should be considered the "protagonists" before the public beta, but it is hard to say after the public beta, as a major update can allow the plot to span a year.

By the time it is truly updated, it may take several years, more than ten years, or even decades.

The new nobles, representing the new era, own "official" novice villages, and in their villages and towns, a large number of powerful people who are inspired by the mysterious power are born. This group of people seems to have suddenly awakened. They recognize the undead and believe that this group of people is the future.

There are also old nobles who represent the old times, who have the power from the broken "magic ring". Their blood and surnames give them power, but madness changes their personalities and even eats away their brains. Each old noble occupies a key path. The noble old nobles are the remnants of the old times. They despise everything and are evil people who hinder future development.

Under such circumstances, the sudden invitation for cooperation from Raven City seemed extremely strange to Lind.

Of course, he could also understand that the target of this communication should be himself rather than Rania. The news that the Lion Duke killed the Great Snake Baron Ronan had already spread to every corner of this land, especially the nearby Raven City, which was impossible to miss.

But if Lind went, what would be waiting for him? A siege and assassination, or a communication that was doomed to be unpleasant. He believed that with his temper, he would definitely not accept a group of "official lackeys" exporting their values ​​to him.

You are right, but you have been brainwashed by the authorities!

Even if they managed to forge an alliance, it would be extremely fragile and would break at the slightest bang.

Even if the new nobles showed goodwill to him, Lind might not respond.

Among the new aristocrats, there are loyal staff members who have been brainwashed by the "officials" and are a thorn in his side. He is naturally opposed to these guys, even if he does not consider any issues of interest and only considers his own interests.

He was worried that he would be recruited.

"Bloodthirsty Plague..."

Maybe he should go to the fox cave quietly. He was more interested in the "red spirit" that the undead people claimed to have appeared. He wondered what level that thing could reach.

If he could create his own "Red Spirit", does it mean that he could immediately have a large number of "Linde Arman" as fighters? Even if they cannot be used for his own purposes, he can make them into dungeon monsters.

Lind knew that there were a large number of undead who wanted to kill him.

This is totally normal, so why not give them a chance?
But before that, the negotiation issue had to be resolved, because Rania had clearly stated in the letter that she was the queen, so she had to go.

……

A man with half of his face burned by flames stood in the crowd, looking quietly ahead.

This was a summons from the City of Riven. After receiving orders from the powerful White Knights from the Everfrost Land, the leaders of every village and town came to the border of the territory.

Raven City was built on the main road in the central region and was the only way to reach the Golden City of Goliath.

In comparison, as the former Grand Dukedom of the Kingdom of Rand, Troll Castle is almost a country of its own. It is located in the southwest, far away from the core of the central region, just like Griffin Castle in the south.

Keeping the territory as far away from the royal city as possible is also a way to reassure the king.

Otherwise, with the powerful duchy right before his eyes and the soldiers training every day, it would be strange if the king could sleep well.

This was an urgent meeting. Of course, the man did not think it had much to do with the bloodthirsty plague in the Fox Cave. The maze-like village had remained in that state for many years.

Maybe there really were some problems inside, but they were communicating with the outside world all the time, and it was very peaceful, until the undead came and broke the tranquility.

Besides, the real problems are like the Dark Night Orchard and myself... haha, it's just an excuse.

What really surprised him was the harmony of the sounds inside Raven City this time.

The internal divisions in Raven City are becoming more and more serious. Although peace is maintained on the surface, the confrontation in secret is still fierce.

In this situation, another rational old aristocrat stood up.

Linde Alman rose quickly like a comet in the dark night, and captured the Troll Castle at a speed that ordinary people could not imagine and pledged allegiance to Queen Rania.

The Troll Castle was unimportant and the old nobles never took it seriously.

The same goes for Queen Rania. After entering the new era, a queen without power is just an ordinary woman.

But the appearance of Lind slightly changed the direction of all this, and when he showed his strong strength, especially the major battle that defeated the Snake Catchers' Fortress some time ago, his name was mentioned again and again in the meeting.

Lind was like a giant palm, and the pressure exerted from the outside forced the already cracked Raven City to be squeezed together again.

The man with the burned face looked forward and saw the ground shaking.

A golden light appeared on the horizon.

Raven soldiers lined up to greet them.

The commander is 'Big Beard' Hull, who is the most senior among all the legion commanders in Raven City. As a Sun Knight of the old times, Hull successfully relied on his own strength and will to become a great knight before the magic ring was broken.

His strength is also among the best among all the upper knights.

After the magic ring was broken, the bearded knight resolutely followed his inner belief in justice and the sun and went to Raven City.

The appearance of the bearded man means how important this welcome is.

After all, that man has a dragon loyal to him.

Moreover, anyone who has witnessed the power of the old nobility will definitely not feel relaxed about his arrival.

Finally, the sound of horse hooves came closer.

It was no secret that Lind controlled the Calamity Steeds, so when the golden cavalrymen riding on the Calamity Steeds rushed over, the soldiers of Raven City did not show too much surprise.

It was just that the bearded Huer was a little nervous. He must have been on edge! Those war horses with sharp teeth and claws were like the most terrifying meat grinders on the battlefield.

The Raven soldiers in charge of the welcoming ceremony also held their nerves in their throats and swallowed hard.

Fortunately, the golden cavalry did not launch a direct charge. Instead, they slowed down as the distance got closer.

There was a roar from the sky, and a flying dragon with spread wings tore through the clouds in the sky. Scarlet scales wrapped around the slender dragon neck, and as it danced among the clouds, the flames had already dyed the clouds in the sky red.

The wind was strong and the storm made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

The Land Legion cavalrymen greeted them solemnly. They lowered their noble heads just to present them to the people who came on flying dragons.

The huge flying dragon crashed to the ground, causing the ground to tremble.

There were exclamations coming from all around, some from Revan's soldiers, but more from the undead.

A considerable number of undead have successfully infiltrated the army of Raven City, and this group of undead is seeing the legendary flying dragon for the first time.

The sight of the huge monster crashing to the ground was even more horrifying to them than watching it on a flat video.

However, the opponent did not come with hostility, so the dragon's health bar did not show, which made them a little regretful.

Fire Tumor Alex raised his long neck high and looked down at everyone present.

The dragon wings spread out on the ground, like a red carpet laid on a huge stone staircase, making it easier for the person on its back to walk down.

Then, the long golden boots stepped on the dragon's wings and fell down.

It was not until now that the people present saw the graceful figure on the dragon's back and realized that the person who walked down from the dragon's back was not Lind Alman, but the queen of the Rand Kingdom, Rania Hedwin!

Hull reacted the fastest. He took the initiative to step forward and saluted Rania as a knight.

Even though their positions were different, he was once a hero of the Rand Kingdom and had sworn allegiance to the Hedwin family.

"Your Majesty!" he began.

"Lord Hull?" Rania looked at the knight who bowed in front of her. Looking at the entire Rand Kingdom, there were few people who didn't know or hadn't heard of Hull's name. "I'm so glad to see you again in this chaotic era."

The poor magical history of the Kingdom of Rand is not worth elaborating on, but there are many stories about great knights, including Hull and Rania's father.

It's a pity that the Sun Knight Hull, who was once praised by the Pope, is not very strong now. Rania, who has no power but has her own set of perception standards, can probably judge that Hull's strength is only at an upper level.

There are many great knights under Lind's command who are probably as powerful as Hull.

Seeing the other person's body trembling slightly under Alex's might, she felt a little complicated in her heart.

Sure enough, a new era has arrived and everything from the old era is being eliminated.

The old nobles with bloodlines will be eliminated, and "heroes" like Hull will also be eliminated.

"Me too, glad to hear from you." Hull raised his head.

He searched, but unfortunately he didn't find the figure.

However, the power brought by Rania this time was enough to make Hur feel heavy in his heart.

The standard-bearers of the Lander Legion, riding in a solemn formation on horseback, held up large flags of dragon and lion respectively.

The flags are flying.

Each one of them is a great knight!

This was definitely a more moving scene than the appearance of the flying dragon. If Duke Lind was not the one who sent out all his great knights to save face, and if the hundreds of great knights in front of him were really just Rania's escort... this meant that Lind might have thousands of great knights under his command.

What a horrible sight it was, he was almost frightened by his own thoughts.

The armor on the Rand soldiers gleamed with secret patterns and enchanted lights, and each of them was fully armed to the teeth.

If a war really breaks out, it won't be easy for Raven City to win.

Right now, the city of Raven is still in a state of fragmentation. It took a lot of effort to get this group of people together today, but with so few people on our side, it may be difficult for them to survive a charge by the Rand Cavalry.

"Just us?" The person who spoke was not Rania, but the cavalryman Marcus. His strength had improved rapidly since he swore allegiance to Linde.

Now he has returned to doing what he does best. He is very familiar with accompanying and protecting Her Majesty the Queen and the guard of honor.

The one who appeared on his side was the queen, but the other side only had a so-called "Sun Knight" Hull, which made him very unhappy.

Although he swore allegiance and was willing to die for Lind, the dignity of Her Majesty the Queen could not be offended. This was also the order Lind gave him.

Maintain the Queen's dignity, and those who trample on her must die!
How long can the former Sun Knight hold out against his sword moves? Any respect is related to strength, and it just so happens that Marcus now has the strength to disrespect others.

There was no senior executive from Raven City, only a team of more than 20 people.

Marcus's expression remained unchanged.

But Raniya stopped him from having an outburst.

"We are here to discuss the bloodthirsty plague in the Fox Cave." Her attitude was very peaceful, and with the dragon standing behind her, people subconsciously listened to her.

Even though everyone knew she was just an ordinary person without any power, no one dared to really ignore her.

"Are you the one who's going to negotiate the alliance with me, Hull?" she asked.

"No, of course not!" Huer lowered his head: "The city lord and his men are waiting for you in front, in the conference room. Please come over here. We are just the honor guard."

This alliance is destined to be fragile and doomed to break.

So, safety first.

This is what Lind said at the time, and now it seems that his judgment was completely correct.

Safety issues should not require too much consideration.

It is the other party who should be worried.
