Frilian at Elden Ring

[It is also an impregnable wall protecting the king.]

Therefore, the dragon motif is regarded as a symbol of various blessings.

prehistoric?

As expected of the era when ancient dragons were active, this species, known for its longevity, left many traces. The amulets symbolizing their power also possess special effects. I really want to see that magnificent figure.

An ancient, inherited magical system can certainly greatly improve one's theoretical level, and may even lead to the development of magic that "changes oneself by altering the form of the soul".

After briefly reviewing the player's description, Frillie put her mind at ease for the time being, considering it an amulet that could be used in the early game.

Frillie carefully put away the amulet, then smiled and said, "Perfect timing, I also have a reward for you."

Soul healing!

The dazzling golden energy shone upon the black-knife assassins and the Farron Undead Legion, instantly warming them, sweeping away their fatigue, and even reversing the erosion caused by the ancient years.

"My lord, what kind of magic is this?"

The usually taciturn Auro's tone was filled with shock.

"I have improved soul magic so that it can reduce the burden on specific targets in the Tree of Life system, at most making you consume some magic power."

Everyone looked at each other in shock. They never expected that Frilian would take a trip and take another step forward in the development of her self-created school of magic. Her skill was amazing. Her talent was definitely top-notch. Perhaps it really could work.

While we don't expect to change the power of the French Ring, at least it can offset some of the burden of the damaged ownership system, which can already be considered a redemptive measure.

Moreover, it has strategic value: while unleashing its power, there is no need to worry about the potential for turning into zombies.

Great news!

Unable to contain his excitement, Kenneth asked, "Sir, could you use magic on a large scale to turn some of the soldiers showing signs of being undead back into human form? Our forces would increase several times over."

"That's exactly what I'm planning. Soul healing can soothe the soul, and it's also good for hybrids to try."

Because the rebellion in Moen City was quelled relatively quickly, it did not escalate into a full-scale rebellion of hybrid servants. A significant portion of them remained under human control, and the addition of demi-humans, dragon eaters, mountain demons, flying dragons, and fully undead as auxiliary forces was more than sufficient.

The total number is definitely not small, and the scale is enough to shake the Asian Plateau.

"That would be perfect, even if it takes an extra month."

“No, we have at most half a month to concentrate our forces,” Edgar said calmly. “The mobilization of a large army cannot be concealed.”

"Lord of the city, wouldn't it be better to have Lady Frilian cast more spells to increase the troop strength?"

"Scouts have reported that Grek's soldiers have gradually become aware of the changes on the Sobbing Peninsula, and a large-scale troop redeployment may be planned for western Ningmgford."

"what!"

"Don't worry, Kenneth, your territory won't easily fall into war, because Stoneville is a good place to defend, so the best option for them is to hold the pass and wait."

"—We will depart in two weeks."

After a moment of deliberation, Frilian made the final decision.

Chapter 59 Greck's Response

Stoneville City.

Grek, seated at the head of the conference room, slowly walked to a messenger, whose arm exuded an aura of the abyss.

"My lord, we have discovered this strange limb material in the eastern part of Ningmgefu and have come to present it to you."

"Looks good, but what's the situation over there?"

"It was a duel between the Farron Undead Legion and the Burial Sword. The center was Hyde Fortress, and the surrounding forests and plains were burned by fire, leaving behind a vast amount of magical aftershocks..."

This person described the investigation results in detail:

It is certain that both sides in the battle were of a high level of combat strength, and their destructive power reflected their respective levels of power. For the people in the noble territory, they must have witnessed a war of natural disaster.

Meanwhile, the messenger mentioned that he was unpopular in eastern Nymgfu and that the investigation was being blocked.

Of course, this is a high-EQ way of putting it, but the unspoken message is that the city of Stoneville and the nobles there are growing increasingly distant.

How to do?

The people in the meeting room looked at the head of the table. They had all gathered together to discuss the signs of rebellion, so it was important for the monarch to determine whether to send troops to the noble territories to quell the rebellion or to strengthen the castle's defenses.

"Wait a minute, I need to reattach this arm."

Greck picked up the severed arm and squeezed it hard under his robe. With a crisp crack, the severed arm became a single piece.

A unique light belonging to the Great Rune shone forth, its energy surging forth in an instant. It represented the most important part of the Elden Ring, possessing boundless power.

So he easily acquired new limbs, while simultaneously feeling the abyss flowing into his body—a blackness born from human desires and evil thoughts. A message even flashed through his mind…the culprit that had corrupted the Farron Undead Legion:

Overlord Warnir.

A powerful monarch who conquered all sides, ultimately plunging into the abyss to gain even greater power, couldn't be more fitting.

"It's just a minor skirmish outside the border, but it has its merits."

A demigod like him wouldn't take some overlord he'd never even heard of seriously. This guy was probably better off sacrificing the Demon Sword. The key point was that the power of the abyss had indeed strengthened him.

well.

The unexpected addition brought a smile to his face, then he looked around and said quietly:

"No need to hide it anymore, admit it. The rebellion in eastern Nymgford is a fact, but more importantly, we need to ascertain the situation on the Sobbing Peninsula, which will determine how we deploy our forces."

"If Moen City is still under our control, then we should attack from both sides and annihilate the rebels entrenched in Hyde Fortress. Otherwise, we must fight a defensive counterattack."

Unfortunately, the latest intelligence hasn't arrived yet...

Suddenly, a cry rang out from the sky.

The Stormhawk's enormous wingspan casts a shadow, carrying the message of the Sobbing Peninsula.

During the era of Storm King, these beasts were good companions to warriors. They were said to be able to stir up gales and sweep across the battlefield. Each flap of their wings greatly boosted morale, and sometimes they were even more troublesome than Storm Knights.

After the Golden Dynasty came to power in this land, many Stormhawks were punished, while some joined the Golden Clan to monitor the surrounding areas.

The messenger quickly took the letter, and the group read it over, their faces grave.

"My lord, the scouts at the front have confirmed that they have joined the service of Frilian in Moen City, and they have also cleared out all the caves on the Weeping Peninsula, completing the integration of the region."

"We are currently assembling troops, and the current number exceeds ten thousand!"

In addition, there are more detailed aerial views, including some general troop deployments, which are enough to prove that the Southern rebels are not small in scale.

"Why are there so many gaps? The key fortresses and main roads aren't even fortified?"

The Stormhawk let out a mournful cry.

The nobles, who also belonged to the Nymgford faction, were naturally on guard against this. Once they spotted them, they would snipe them with crossbows. Moreover, there were wyverns and winged hybrids among them, so they were accurate every time.

In short, key areas were heavily defended and inaccessible, especially around Moen City, where any movement was met with a barrage of magical arrows, and the spies never returned.

Since that's the case, the intelligence unit can't really be blamed; at least they brought back some important information:

Samir Ancient Hero joined 5 days ago.

The rebel forces have gained another powerful fighter, and even the heroes of the Titan War are willing to accept Frilian's recruitment.

That's impressive!

Although they had never met, everyone could guess that the one who buried the Demon Sword must be a man of extraordinary courage, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to recruit Black Knife Assassins, Eastern Nobles, the Farron Undead Legion, Moen City, and Samir, among others...

To put it bluntly, they have basically integrated the resources of one side, and the powerful figures in the Giant War are particularly fearsome, after all, many people grew up listening to stories of sealed prisons.

Some officers looked nervous and were very worried about Stoneville's defenses.

“Leave the hero Samir to me.”

The voice came from a tall figure clad in heavy bronze armor—a Forge Knight, part of the unparalleled army that had fought alongside the First King, having razed the borderlands. Since the War of Shattering, they had served different masters, and here was one of them.

Ancient dragons and giants alike have been defeated by them, and even today, the Forge Knights can still be considered the top knights.

There is another Forge Knight in the sealed prison of Nymgford who can be recruited. Even if he once felt sorry for the civil war in the Golden Dynasty, it will not stop him from fighting hard when facing external enemies.

Two Forge Knights!

Even Grek couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "It's up to you now, and I'll cut off the Faded One's head and reattach her arm."

"My lord, should we send troops?"

"Don't forget that every faded one in the Round Table Hall covets the Great Rune. Don't let your weaknesses be easily exploited. Just hold your ground in Stoneville."

“I agree. In any case, they can’t muster enough troops to breach the city walls.”

After living here for so many years, surely the locals know how many troops Ningmgfu could muster? Very few. Although the environment is relatively well-preserved, pre-war martial spirit was insufficient, resulting in limited combat effectiveness; naturally, few have survived to this day.

conscription?

Even if those who have faded away scratch their heads, they cannot muster any troops and are not worth fearing.

"My lord, there is one more thing: Markit said he could mobilize a portion of the Night Cavalry to intercept targets along the line. Could you cooperate with us to annihilate the enemy?"

"I have nothing to say to him. We can just defend at our own pace. Anyway, his troops will take the initiative to attack the Faded Ones."

Grek, who harbors ambitions for the throne of the Golden Dynasty, is conflicted about the Blessed King's subordinates. He feels that he shouldn't have too much interaction with them, since he will eventually lead the Nymgford forces to the royal city anyway.

And so the meeting came to an end.

One of the fragment kings gave it sufficient attention, mobilizing western forces from Nymgford to converge on the main city.

They need a week to fully consolidate and strengthen the city's defenses.

The most peaceful border region was the first to raise the flag of rebellion, and now, after five thousand years of continuous decline of the Golden Dynasty, the spark has finally been reignited.

Soon, all parties along the route focused their attention on this, and immediately discovered that the main force from the Sobbing Peninsula was beyond their expectations.

Is this number for real?
