Chapter 306 Dragon Allies
"Oh? Did you say something?"

"The Grand Duke invites you to visit Qianxue City tomorrow."

When Raven brought Hesa ​​and Theresa to Qianxue City, they found that many lords gathered here.

He even met Viscounts Debes and Pol.

The two viscounts were once saved by Raven and were very friendly with him.

At this moment, Herrit happened to pass by and saw Dibis and Pol circling around Raven, and sneered disdainfully.

"A guy who just wants to curry favor with the powerful."

Because of the robbery under the city of Lentini, he has always been hostile to Raven.

Later, there was the conflict between Xiao and Raven, and the hostility deepened.

Especially after Raven was valued by the Grand Duke and directly participated in the war, this threat has made him feel like a thorn in his side.

Harit was most worried that Raven would secretly complain to the Grand Duke, so he had been planning how to get rid of him.

Dibis was furious when he heard that, but when he saw it was Harit, he turned away embarrassedly.

He can't afford to offend the other party.

"Damn, which dog eavesdrops on people's conversations." Raven sneered.

Harit was furious: "Who are you scolding?"

"I'm scolding the dog."

"you!"

Clang!
One of Herrit's retainers suddenly drew his sword and said, "Damn it, you dare to scold our young master."

"Hahaha, what a jerk! Raven was scolding a dog, why did you admit it on behalf of your young master?"

Hesa burst into laughter and pounded his chest hard.

"You're looking for death!" The famous general was furious, "Bastard, do you dare to duel with me, Dewey?"

"Damn it, if you miss, come here."

After saying this, the two of them got into position.

Raven didn't pull away either, just watched from the side with his arms folded.

Herrit had no intention of stopping it.

"Stop it!" Just as the two were about to start fighting, a clear shout rang out.

Celine appeared with a team of guards.

She was dressed in military uniform, looking heroic and majestic when she spoke.

"What are you doing!"

Raven came up with a smile: "Hey, Sister Celine, he wants to spar with my brother, don't worry, I promise not to kill him."

"Don't mess around, come with me, your father wants to see you."

"Let's go, brother." Raven whistled at Hesa.

In the Grand Duke's Palace, in a heavily guarded courtyard.

"sit down."

Grand Duke Lennon said with a smile.

"I called you here this time to verify some things."

"Please speak."

"Oni told me about your deeds in the Western Wilds. You did a great job. To be honest, even Celine couldn't do this."

"You are too kind."

"You don't have to be modest. My eyes are not blind."

Lennon waved.

"Okay, now I'm going to ask you something. You must answer truthfully. This may have something to do with the war situation."

"I will tell you everything I know."

"First question, Onivia said in the letter that almost every cavalryman who returned with you was armed. Is this true?"

"Well, we suffered heavy losses when we were surrounded and only the Demon Restoration Armed Forces could save us, so I did a lot."

"how did you do it?
Putting aside the materials, you don’t have time to make them when you’re on the run, let alone so many?”

“Haha, I’m efficient.”

Lennon gave him a meaningful look.

"It seems that your talent is more than what it seems."

"In fact, most of them are second-level weapons, so it's easy."

"Easy? You underestimate yourself.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take your team of demon-restoring warriors as an example. You are the only one in the entire Qinglan.

In fact, Your Majesty had thought about forming such a team, but unfortunately failed, mainly because there were too few demon-restored armed forces. "

Lennon shook his head.

"Okay, second question, where did you get those silver eagle mounts?

According to Oni's description, I have never seen this kind of beast before."

This is also something that the Grand Duke is particularly concerned about.

Air cavalry has always been a strategic force of various countries.

Because they are so rare, even the entire Dante only has a thousand of them.

The main reason is that there are too few suitable mounts.

If Riven has tamed a new mount, that means he can, too. So Dante's air cavalry could double in a short period of time!
This is a terrifying force.

Raven thought for a moment, then decided to tell the truth.

Although the matter involves his own secrets, the Archduke is someone who can be trusted.

So he told Doyle about his discovery and the method of breeding silver eagles.

“…Since the union between beasts of different species goes against the laws of nature, I don’t want this secret to spread.

Moreover, the key to Silver Eagle's growth is Dark Marrow.

Once the Dark Marrow is exhausted, it will take a long time for them to grow up."

Lennon opened his mouth in shock, then sighed regretfully:
"I thought you had discovered a new species. What a pity."

"If you need air cavalry urgently, I can bring out a group of silver eagles that are about to reach adulthood."

"How many are there?"

"Thirty."

"Okay! Then I'll accept it first. As compensation, Celine will give you a batch of magic restoration materials."

"No need, you have done me a favor, this is just a reward."

"You're a grateful boy.

But I, Lennon, never owe anyone anything. Let me put it this way. My military funds are tight now, and I will double your compensation after the war."

"it is good."

Lennon looked at him strangely: "Are you answering too readily?"

"Hey, if you can compensate me after the battle, it means you can win."

"Haha, then I'll borrow your good words.

The last question is, why would the wise orcs support you with 5,000 warriors? Did they join the war?"

This is very important!

Everyone knows that the wise orcs and the wise people are mortal enemies.

If they took the opportunity to attack Zhimin with all their might, the entire western war situation would change drastically.

Raven hesitated, as this involved his agreement with Offenbach.

After thinking about it, he felt that he could still tell it, so he told Offenbach about the deal he had made with him.

"It seems like he just wants to make an investment in you and won't go to war with Jimin."

Lennon was slightly disappointed.

If the wise orcs join this war, then victory is in sight.

Once the West is stabilized, we will be able to fully support other battlefields, and Dante's predicament will be greatly alleviated.

Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking on his part.

"So, we have to end this war." Raven nodded.

"That's right. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. With you here, I have seen hope."

"Don't be ridiculous. What's the use of my strength?"

“Wrong, just because you are weak now doesn’t mean it will be the same in the future.

Humph, who do you think Offenbach is?

He has been dominating Qinglan for hundreds of years. How could he easily make a deal with a kid like you?
In all likelihood, he saw your potential."

"Hey, you noticed that too?"

"Shao Pin, I'm going to tell you something next, and you must listen carefully." Lennon's face became serious.

"You say."

"If the battle situation is unfavorable, you must escape from here immediately and grow up as soon as possible. Perhaps Dante's hope lies in you."

"The situation isn't that bad yet, is it?" Raven was shocked.

“You’ll understand when you’re in my position.

The Western Front was just one of Dante's fates.

In fact, the World Gate is the real problem."

After a sigh, Lennon looked through the French window to the distant horizon and murmured:
“But as long as there is hope, no matter how long the wait is, it is just a wait.

Although, I may not be able to see it anymore.”

Soon, lords from all over the country arrived, and the huge conference hall was almost full.

The Grand Duke seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled after sitting down and said:

“I called you all here today to discuss two main things.

The first thing I did was to prepare to launch a counterattack.

We have been on the defensive for the past two months, and many towns have been destroyed. We will teach them a lesson this time.”

"But, Your Excellency, we are at a disadvantage. If we abandon the city walls, we will surely be defeated." An old earl said worriedly.

“What Count Leila said is true, but this time it’s different.

I have found two powerful allies who will help me in times of crisis."

"Two allies? Your Excellency the Duke, you must be joking. What kind of allies can support a major counterattack?"

"Two giant dragons."

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped.
