After saying this, Maricus said no more and quietly looked at the sky.
Lu Ye understood what he meant.
He will face not only Gofule, but also the prime minister, The Beast Serloth.
If Govre's fighting spirit is ignited, given his warlike nature, he will find a way to get rid of Serlos.
Well... all in all, it was a wasted trip.
Just as they were about to leave, a bald man dressed as a thief suddenly appeared not far away.
Patch
"Long time no see," A-Tui said.
"Long time no see, my foot! You haven't been away from the Volcano Residence for very long, have you?"
What do you want with us?
“Of course I’m here to lend you a hand! I saw you burning the trees!” Patch pulled out a bloodstained prison garment with gold engravings, but the engravings were covered with twisted, tiny horns. “Here, take this!”
"This is……?"
"This is my most treasured possession. It's said to be the shackles once used on the King of Omens. It's a cursed object, so it should still be effective."
Lu Ye accepted the prop.
[Obtained: Markit's Prison Gear]
[Description: A cursed object imbued with golden magic. Used on one of the cursed Children of the Ominous who required strict control. It still retains a trace of binding magic. Used on Malkit, who was once imprisoned, it should temporarily subdue him.]
It looks like it's genuine.
"How much?" A-Tui prepared to take out his wallet.
"No money needed, well..." Patch scratched his cheek, "That woman, Tanis, has been somewhat depressed since Lakad's death. You're planning to become the King of Elden, aren't you? I hope you won't continue the Golden Tree's rule and grant that poor woman's wish..."
Chapter 688 On the Eve of the Great Battle
Lu Ye naturally agreed to Patch's request.
Anyway, his goal was to obtain the fragments and overthrow the Golden Tree and the Golden Law.
Patch seemed somewhat surprised that his request was granted so easily.
He said carefully, "Well, we're all businessmen, and business is all about integrity. If you've agreed, don't go back on your word, or even if you become the King of Elden, I won't let you off the hook."
After saying that, Patch left on his own, seemingly in a good mood.
“Now that we have what we need to deal with Mongot, let’s head to the royal city,” Lu Ye said. “The allied forces should be around the Yatan Plateau by now, but the ashes from burning the Golden Tree will definitely disrupt our plans.”
"So we still have some time? I happen to have something to do." A-Tui said mysteriously.
"What is it?" Melina and Lu Ye asked in unison.
"You haven't forgotten Teacher Seren, have you?" A-Tui said. "I have her Source Stone. All we need to do is find her another body. She's also a mage who studies Origin Magic, so her strength won't be lacking!"
"Easier said than done... but where are you going to find one?" Lu Ye said. "Even if you call Marika out, she can't just hand-make a doll for you on the spot, can she?"
"Don't rush. It seems you ignored what Lani said before."
"what?"
“Lani mentioned before that we should go check out the ruins not far from the Selvis Mage Tower when we had time,” A-Tui said excitedly. “Later, when we were resting in Kalia Fortress, I went there, and guess what I found? A tunnel! It was like a hidden door that could be opened with a single slash of a sword! If I hadn’t tripped over a pebble and sat on it, I probably wouldn’t have found it!”
Good heavens, your ass is as strong as a sword!
A-Tui blushed: "It's just a metaphor. If you punch a hidden door, it will still open, won't it?"
……
Not long after, A-Tui and Lu-Ye went to Kalia Fortress.
Without informing Selvis or having any way to inform him, the two simply found a female doll resembling a magician inside and moved it away.
After the Source Stone was placed into the doll's body, Seren came back to life.
"Ah...disciples, you've succeeded." Seren nodded in satisfaction.
"Um, you're welcome... um..."
"If it's about the Golden Tree, I'd be happy to help," Seren smiled. "What master wouldn't help when their disciple is in trouble?"
Seren already knows.
The burning of the Golden Tree was no small matter. Even in the underground chamber, she could feel the trembling of the few Miranda flowers above the post station street.
She believed that only her disciples could accomplish this.
Soon after, Lu Ye and his companions arrived at the Yatan Plateau.
The coalition forces have assembled at the foot of Mount Gemir.
The war is about to start.
The leaders, including Grek, Torina, and Renara, also gathered together.
As for Marlene and Mongo.
Although the situation had been explained to them, Marlene agreed to temporarily put aside her personal grudges.
However, to prevent any unexpected situations, that is, to prevent the two from starting a fight as soon as they meet, Torina decided to separate them temporarily.
Marlene is currently leading the Exalted Knights and the Platinum Sons, waiting outside the battlefield ruins northwest of the royal city. As a surprise attack force to flank the royal army, this battle is of great significance, and even a homebody like her has to leave her house.
Meanwhile, Monger led the Blood Nobles and Blood Platinum Sons soldiers to infiltrate the waterway beneath the Little Golden Tree Church on the outskirts of the royal city and await orders. The main mission of this force was to take advantage of the intense fighting on the front lines and use the power of blood to infiltrate the rear of the royal city, forming a coordinated attack from within and without with the main force.
Greck was very satisfied with this.
He also didn't really want to see Marlene; the thought of her swift, bird-like swordsmanship and the ferocious, crimson decay made him want to stick out his tongue and lick something...
This is almost PTSD.
In addition, some of the faded individuals also joined in.
Vic revealed the truth about the Golden Tree to everyone.
Bernal, who had already raised the banner of rebellion against the Golden Law, needs no further explanation.
Even the Faded Ones, such as "Great Horn" Teragos, "Fearless" Ryannil, and "Finger Witch" Serorina, have come here to participate in the battle.
Even the warrior jar Alexander,
As a member of the Golden Clan who once believed in the Golden Law, Torina used some kind of secret technique to deceive the Supreme Will and Two Fingers' spies, making it difficult for them to detect the army's presence.
Of course, A-Tui also deserves credit for this.
If she hadn't burned the tree, causing the Golden Tree's power to weaken further, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to hide it.
It is evening now.
The attack was scheduled for nighttime.
This deviated slightly from the original plan, which was to launch an attack on the capital city the moment the trees were burned, taking it by surprise.
But no one expected that the ashes from burning the golden tree would bury half of the royal city.
Dust is not a dangerous substance, and the soldiers of the royal city acted immediately after seeing the Golden Tree burning. They withdrew to a safe position before the dust covered half of the royal city. However, this was not a good time to attack because the terrain inside the royal city had been changed by the mountains of dust, and the attack route had to be replanned.
Although the mission of this allied forces was not to capture the royal city, but to hold off the army and buy Lu Ye and A Tui the opportunity and time to repair the Dharma Ring.
"I never imagined that one day I would be able to return to the foot of the royal city!" Grek said with a sigh.
"What? You still want to be the rightful heir again?"
Torina sat in the Queen of the Full Moon's lap and asked with a smile.
The reason she was in Renara's arms was simply because Her Majesty the Queen couldn't control herself when she saw children...
"No, not really, just a bit sentimental."
When the royal city was attacked by the demigod alliance, Godwin had already died. Apart from Mongot and Mongo in the dungeon, as the only legitimate heir of the Golden Clan bloodline, he had the obligation and responsibility to guard the royal city.
But he didn't; he dressed in women's clothing and slipped away among the women.
Although many years later he loved the art of limb extensions more than the capital city and no longer valued power as much, he still felt a pang of shame when he thought about it.
However, the little dragon did not follow, perhaps because of the warning from the other dragons.
Greck didn't seem to care.
This time he mobilized almost all of his troops, and it was also good that Stoneville City had a dragon guarding his limb art pieces.
"But then again, there are so many people."
A-Tui was somewhat amazed by the densely packed army in the distance.
She had never seen anything like this before.
The dragon soldiers were strapped to massive iron cages, while the puppet soldiers beside them remained motionless in standby mode. Mages from the academy were imbuing the soldiers' weapons with magic, the Platinum Children were cleaning the empty bellies of the trolls, and artificial lifeforms from the Eternal City... or rather, black slimes were changing shape around the trolls and dragon soldiers. Not only that, even the Cuckoo Knights were among the troops, it seems the magic academy didn't forget to hire them again before leaving... or perhaps it was to prevent the academy from being undefended and raided by the cuckoos.
The dense crowd behind her, the sounds of clashing swords, the human heads shooting at the train to test the flamethrower, and the debugging of various large catapults and other engineering equipment... made her swallow hard.
Fortunately, this battle will end in just one night.
“What’s the big deal? When the demigods attacked the royal city together, there were even more of them,” Grek said. “If I hadn’t run away quickly, I probably would have been killed.”
“What are you talking about? You shouldn’t have left in the first place,” Lu Ye said. “Anyway, Monget will come out to defend the capital, won’t he?”
“You don’t understand cause and effect.” Torina lay comfortably in Renara’s arms. “After my brother Godwin died, if Grek stayed there to fight the enemy, then Montgomery wouldn’t have escaped from the dungeon. Of course, since it was Grek… the fall of the royal city was inevitable, and everything after that would have been very different.”
“Although I’m a little annoyed, what he said makes sense,” Grek said.
"Alright, I still need to plan a new route. You guys can go explore around, just remember to conserve your energy," Torina said lazily, enjoying Renara's caress.
It's clear that Queen Full Moon likes her quite a bit; she didn't even participate in the conversation.
Lu Ye and A Tui wandered around and found Alexander, Blaise, and others.
Upon meeting Luye and Ame, Alexander enthusiastically recounted his experiences at the Sacred Tree, mentioning his battle with Loretta and his subsequent fight with Marlene, where he was deeply impressed by her strength. When he heard that Marlene was going to attack the legendary Blood King Monger, he resolutely joined Marlene's army.
However, the destination of the expedition later changed.
Alexander was initially disappointed because he could no longer fight the legendary demigod, so he prepared to leave.
But upon hearing that they were going to attack the royal city, Alexander stayed with his troops again.
