Frillian in the Elden Ring

"Sometimes, Your Majesty, your moral standards are simply too high. Of course, this is also one of the reasons why we follow you. Don't worry about them. Becoming stronger in the borderland always comes at a price. Compared to the most serious loss of the soul, the transformation of the body is nothing. Don't feel alienated. This is one of the ways we fight against the tragedy of this world. Determination is the most important thing."

"Okay, but don't make it happen. Let them take their own course. I approve."

"Finn, you will be the commander of the Earth Dragon Legion from now on."

"—I'm honored."

Everyone at the scene gave a thunderous applause. No matter what, the Southern Army had achieved new results and its combat effectiveness had been greatly improved.

The Nimgefu nobles, led by Hyde, have been very anxious recently. They are facing direct competition from the Lienia faction. They can only watch them show their prowess. What if they are neglected and marginalized?

As the first group of direct descendants to submit to the Soul Fire King, they should not be overshadowed.

Therefore, the entire army stationed in Stonewell City worked together to study and produce many new dragon eaters, and even earth dragon cases like Finn.

"Can you help us get out now?"

A weak voice came from inside the door.

"I'm ready. You can push it out. I won't break. Even if I break, I still have His Majesty—"

Boom!

Suddenly, a powerful force exploded in the room, forcibly propelling Finn's body forward. Even the massive earth dragon plowed a furrow in the ground, scattering dust like a passing sandstorm. Who was so strong?

It turned out to be a noble who had undergone limb grafting, but unlike the thin arms and legs of Greg's era, he had a pair of huge bear paws.

It was no longer curled up, but stood upright with an upright posture, and its magical reaction was strong.

"Greetings to His Majesty."

Kneeling with him were various nobles who had received limb grafts, including but not limited to lobster and crab limbs. While they certainly weren't targeting humans, the material's performance was superior.

No wonder it can push away the earth dragon, this is the power of the bear.

Judging from his vitality reaction, unlike Greg's technology that caused him to degenerate or even go crazy after too many limb grafts, his condition is more stable and he can be incorporated into the army as a soldier.

Fulilian looked at it carefully and nodded, "It's much more normal than before."

The values she cultivated in reality have always made her feel uncomfortable with limb-jointing technology. Now, the person being transformed is simplifying things and no longer pursues a large number of arms. Instead, she focuses on strong parts to form a coordinated force, and her overall performance is more perfect than before.

"It all depends on your Majesty's blessing. Otherwise, most of those who receive limb grafts will go mad, degenerate into monsters, and even worse, become zombies."

"I didn't invest much in the limb replacement project. This is the result of your hard work."

"Because we firmly believe that we can witness the throne with you, we will never be a drag and will become your Majesty's helper."

As they got excited, the group immediately introduced the expansion of the Limb-Removing Nobles. Although they were slightly inferior to the Dragon Feast, they were enough to serve as a special force and take on important tasks.

Their goal is to compete with the Knight of Kalia. No, that is not enough. If they want to compete, they have to compete with the strongest Knight Rodel and be on par with the first-tier forces in the border area. The goal must be set higher.

The ones we are targeting are the people from your royal city.

Just wait and see.

The last region conquered by the first king's army was also the most severely divided. The king's banner was gone, the former Storm Knights were scattered all over the place, and it was occupied by a mediocre golden heir for many years... All of this is in the past.

Wasn't the reason why Ge Fulei split up the country because he was afraid that the South would start another war? You are right.

Now they have embraced a king with a stellar resume, a rise just as remarkable as the original king, and even more compassionate, who has ascended the throne for the world to see.

The joy of accident!

Fulilian had originally prepared for a difficult situation when she came to Nimgerfu, even facing a shortage of troops. Unexpectedly, Stonewell City was doing so well, and she had finally caught up.

Moreover, the South has had dragon feasts since ancient times, and the accumulated technology of limb grafting is an advantageous force.

"By the way, where did we get all these materials? I even saw a dragon's limb graft. Are you hunting them?"

"What a pity."

Hyde said proudly, "We rebuilt the Dragon Feast Church."

"I don't know much about it."

She had taken a glimpse of it from afar when she was conquering the coastal caves. According to Melina, it had been abandoned long ago. She did collect some dragon feast prayers, so it was not a big deal.

It's a pity that I can't use it myself, so I can only collect it. Fulilian's body can no longer accommodate other powers. Unless you are strong and evil enough, the harmless Dragon Heart will be like a roadside stray. It's meaningless.

But Hyde now told her new information: "Your Majesty, there is still a Great Dragon Feast Church in Gayleid."

"I understand what you mean. Let the army prepare for battle."

Chapter 141 Arrival at the destination of Galid.

The throne room of Stonewell City.

Although Fulilian has been away for a long time, this place is still kept clean and tidy. The bright floor-to-ceiling windows, the red carpet on the ground, and the steps give people a sense of solemnity.

Usually it serves as the brain of the South, issuing various government orders, and today it finally welcomes its master.

What caught my eye was a sand table map. A group of officers, led by Edgar, gathered around it, discussing the situation in a flurry of voices. Not daring to neglect their duties, each one representing a different unit continued to advance their operations...

"Your Majesty, you are finally here."

Compared with the various etiquette of the civil servants, he, who had always followed the war, was obviously more familiar with them.

"Without your support, mobilization will be difficult."

"what's up?"

"A large number of corrupted creatures have been discovered around the flame wall, including a corrupted dragon that can spit out a corrupted aura and is very difficult to deal with."

"I understand. You don't have to worry about that. I'll lead the charge anyway and clear out those powerful enemies first."

I was very interested in the mention of the flying dragon Frillian using the power of corruption. In a sense, since we are all casters of scarlet corruption, we should exchange experiences to help our own experiments.

Her magic of purifying corruption is confirmed to be ineffective against living things, but biological activity will in turn re-contaminate the purified land, so it must be cleared away.

The infected ones cannot be kept.

The Faran Undead Corps is willing to destroy an entire country in order to expel the power of the abyss.

Now Fulilian also needs to show determination.

The officers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had thought that they would have to consider it carefully, but they did not expect that His Majesty would take it upon himself.

"So you decided to go ahead?"

Edgar asked.

"Yes, just like in Lienia."

Everyone is familiar with this tactical arrangement, which has been proven to work in the lake area. In this case, there is really nothing to worry about, after all, the Soul Fire King is leading the way.

"Next, we need to consider the mobilization of the army. Your Majesty, it would be best if you first understand the general route..."

The two sides had worked together many times and were familiar with each other. Even Fulilian understood the general situation from Edgar's simple and straightforward explanation, especially the number of troops currently available to the South:

3 million.

Overall, the number of participants is about the same as that of the Nimgefu War a few years ago.

Everyone felt it was so magnificent when they were fighting fiercely in Stonewell City. How spectacular would it be to have a field battle now?

“There are so many!”

"Your Majesty, I actually left most of my secondary forces in the mainland, otherwise their numbers would be even greater."

Logically speaking, with so many people freed from zombie transformation, recuperating, and expanding their military, the number shouldn't be so small. In fact, the apparent "small number" is actually a source of confidence for commanders. Quality is more important than quantity; quality is paramount.

During the Greg era, a large number of mercenaries and zombies joined the army, and their quality was uneven, making it difficult to issue orders.

It's just a rusty machine that no one can start.

The officers who took over decided to tear it down and rebuild it.

All those who were unqualified were cleared out, those who should be dismissed were dismissed, those who should be reorganized were reorganized, and a large number of normal human-based troops were employed.

They were high-spirited, strong, and disciplined, with an increasingly beautiful homeland worth protecting. Most importantly, they were united under the banner of Fulilian and were fearless.

They have a reason to fight.

Just based on this point, it is impossible to tell how many troops are crossing the border. Don't underestimate morale. The larger the scale of the battlefield, the more important it is to be organized. Organization is related to morale.

Moreover, the 3 troops mentioned by Edgar are mobile and can fight in a mobile manner, which will not affect the defense of the home.

The troops scheduled to go on the expedition were well-armed, equipped with armor and weapons captured from the Royal City Army, as well as the weapons accumulated over the years by the Nimgefu armory. Of course, they also included the two trump cards, the Limb-Removing Noble and the Dragon Feast.

Auxiliary forces include demi-humans, mountain goblins, flying dragons, hybrids, etc.

Their ingredients are complex, but due to years of cultivation in soul healing, their state is stable and can be of great use.

"...The above is the expeditionary force we have prepared."

Edgar said with great emotion, "We will eradicate the corrupt creatures."

"More troops than I expected."

Fleuryne exclaimed in admiration.

The development of the South exceeded her expectations. She was originally prepared to clean up the corrupt creatures by herself, but you quietly gathered an army of 30,000, and the per capita quality was high.

Judging from the war potential, it would not be difficult for Lienia to produce another 40,000 after recuperating for a period of time. What if the resources recovered by Gaileyd are added in the future?

Wouldn't it be possible to gather together an army of 100,000?

Moreover, the style of the border area is that no supplies or little supplies are needed, and they can set off as soon as the equipment is in place. The requirements for auxiliary forces are very low, and the participation rate of a large force can almost reach a terrifying figure of 95%.

Unlike the real world, it does not require laborious configurations such as porters, cooks, and medical soldiers.

No wonder the coalition of kings fought so fiercely that the world collapsed. How could it not be exciting?

Even though they took over a territory that had been ravaged by them, Fulilian was still shocked by the large number of troops.

But there are weaknesses.

"I heard there are powerful flying dragons in the Dragon Tomb area, and even heroes find it difficult to set foot there."

She put it bluntly, "The lack of foundation is reflected in the surplus of combat power at the middle and lower levels."

Edgar nodded. "Indeed, we are seriously lacking in high-end combat power. The bad news is that the Blood Fingers are active and will definitely harass us. I'm afraid that will make it difficult to march, which will be troublesome."

“They really are disgusting.”

"Rumor has it that the Blood Force was behind the collapse of the King's Alliance. These guys are best at harassing large armies and disrupting their deployment."

"Why did the Blood Dynasty interfere? Have you investigated thoroughly?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't know. But the contradictions at your level are nothing more than those few."

indeed.

Mostly for the sake of Daluun, it doesn’t matter who the other party is. What matters is that they are enemies and we must be on guard against them.

"Don't worry, I'll leave the Ashes Corps to you."

Upon hearing this, the officers breathed a sigh of relief, their brows relaxed. After all, more and more news was coming in about them. Under His Majesty's repeated reinforcements, they had become a heroic squad, easily capable of suppressing the harassing Blood Fingers.

In this case, there is one less thing to worry about, and the remaining details will not be a problem.

"Your Majesty, we will arrive in batches. There are too many of us to go all at once. Otherwise, excessive deployment on the front battlefield would hinder command."

"Just do what you normally do now, Edgar. I trust you. We'll see you in Gayleed."

"Your Majesty is leaving?"

"Ah."

"Can we watch the healing of corrupt soil?"

Fulilian had anticipated this question, so she skillfully took out the sample and demonstrated to everyone how to actively absorb it with the Ionian flower, and then digest it with her own magic power.

The whole process was smooth but nerve-wracking, especially when she put the bright red flowers on her head.

No matter how you look at it, that thing couldn't wait to break free and exploded on the spot in Stonewell City. What kind of heart could be so frightened!

"So you used your magic to completely eliminate the Scarlet Corruption?"

"That's it."

Everyone's lips twitched at the reassurance of this answer, for it meant that the Soul Fire King's body could resist the Scarlet Flower's transformation. It was truly miraculous, considering even General Shattering Star had been beaten to a pulp by this very move.

In any case, they were relieved and believed that the Galid region would surely usher in a new life.
