Frillian in the Elden Ring

"Melina, people from the Borderlands like you probably find the Supreme Will unattainable and indescribable. I've seen similar things before, and it's hard to say they have any independent consciousness, just a vague will. Given its status, it can't be considered to be specifically interfering. It should choose to send an envoy, such as the Two Fingers. But aren't the Two Fingers too weak? This is strange."

"What do you mean?"

"It should be assumed that there is a powerful emissary, like Esti, or even more powerful than him."

"Maybe it exists, but what is the basis for this speculation?"

"I don't think the treasure of the Eternal City can kill the invisible and intangible Supreme Will. Perhaps it's for something else, unknown even to ordinary Knox people... Of course, this is just a guess, reminding us that there may be a hidden and powerful enemy."

Melina agreed with Fulilian's caution and calmness and nodded sincerely.

indeed.

For example, the entire incident of Marika smashing the Elden Ring clearly lacked a lot of logic, and perhaps there was a deeper level of game play.

After finishing a long speech, the silver-haired girl continued to rummage through the drawers. She said that the conspiracies and tricks in the border area had nothing to do with her and she would just smash them to pieces when she really faced them.

Hard work pays off, and I have indeed made new gains:

[Magic Dragon Emblem Amulet +1]

Unlike the most basic version dropped after defeating the Rune Bear, its magic damage reduction efficiency is even better.

She briefly tested it and then put it away. It wasn't very useful. There weren't many attacks in the world that could penetrate her magical defenses. Once they did, mere damage reduction wouldn't be enough to deal with it. It would be more cost-effective to save the empty space for other powerful amulets.

In addition, there is a heavyweight weapon, a treasure mentioned by players before:

【Lucet's Pyroxene Staff】

[One of the "Origin Magicians", Luther's pyroxene staff]

Only those who have come into contact with the wisdom within the stone, the wisdom of the distant forerunners, can wield this staff.

[Can enhance the power of all magic]

【But it will increase the concentration value consumed】

The cost of consuming more magic power is not a big deal for Frillian, as she has no shortage of magic power. The key is that the Ruthert Staff is worry-free enough, and it is perfect for enhancing the effects of all magic, so it is included in the permanent weapon.

The Demi-Human Queen's Staff that had been with me for a long time had to be put away for now, just like the Azrael Staff I had picked up at the Magic Academy before, because it was not very useful in reducing the chanting time.

Even the Meteorite Staff recommended by players may not be more suitable for you than the Luther Staff.

Make a lot of money.

Fulilian waved her staff, and sure enough, the magic resonance was high. Simply casting a few spells did increase their power. As compensation for the extra energy, it did indeed increase her strength.

The strength of the Stargazer account is becoming more and more mature. Only when it can reduce the attribute correction of other accounts can it be considered a truly new account.

But now he is at most a high-level hero, and is probably not as good as the newly debuted Radagun.

There is still huge room for improvement in the attributes of new accounts.

"Your Majesty, the surrounding area has been cleared."

Not far away, Edgar and his group came over, exhausted. Those spiritual magicians were unable to do anything to the organized army.

"Rest here and repair the town of Selia. It will be our stronghold now."

153

Chapter 153 Encounter with Millicent.

The town of Selia changed hands.

Since Fulilian killed the strongest Knox enemy, the remaining monsters were not worth mentioning. They collapsed in the encirclement of the Southern Army, and finally every corner was clean.

She also received some additional collectibles, such as records about the Eternal City.

But the most urgent task is to make the town a real base.

The Southern Army from top to bottom began to get busy, seizing the time to repair the less damaged buildings, at least to provide them with shelter from the wind and rain.

This army was originally built to conquer and repair along the way. With the help of magic, they quickly repaired those slightly damaged areas, which were enough to become the soldiers' strongholds and they were fully capable of fighting a defensive battle.

Edgar was primarily responsible.

Because after the battle, Fleury, the main coach, meditated on the spot and activated the flower field magic, which was quickly purifying the scarlet corruption.

It is best not to disturb His Majesty during this critical period.

Although it is unknown what exact price she paid, repairing the Scarlet Corruption is certainly not easy.

According to the strategy set at the beginning, purification points will be built in the Gaileyd area, and then linked together, from point to surface, and then gradually spread to even repair the territory of a country.

Now, Fulilian was putting her magic into practice with all her strength, and along the way, no one saw the red color of the Ionian flower headdress dilute at all.

That thing has been at a critical point and has absorbed an unknown amount of corrupt energy.

"I guess your majesty doesn't need rest, but the flower does."

"Eighty percent yes."

"With His Majesty's enthusiasm, why would he be willing to stop and go and bring so many people with him? If he gets excited, he'll probably travel all over Galid in one go. He's only bringing us along as a side job, to find something to do while the flowers cool down."

"But the key issue is the pollution of Corruption Lake."

Melina thought everyone's discussion was absolutely correct. If she hadn't stopped Fulilian and delayed the advance, they would have absorbed the scarlet corrupt energy of one place a day. She wondered if the Ionian flower could withstand it.

She believed that it would be enough to maintain the current pace and move forward step by step, without accumulating too much scarlet corruption.

Although Fulilian clearly showed resistance, she was horrified every time she witnessed the absorption and hoped that this purification project would be completed as soon as possible.

Simultaneously.

Melina observed the meeting of the officers in her astral form.

She had plenty of experience from her years of traveling the borderlands, but some things were simply not there, like leading an army in battle. If the Faded Ones weren't paying attention, she would have to learn more to make up for it.

People's talents are developed bit by bit. In the past, Edgar was only at the level of a city lord, and leading a thousand soldiers was his limit. Now he is becoming more and more skilled.

He pointed to the map on the table.

"Selia Town is our last stronghold."

"The next large town is the Red Lion Fortress area, but it's impossible to station troops there because of the Corrupted Lake. In other words, the enemy has little chance of surrounding us. Potential Blood Dynasty troops should aim for the last castle, or perhaps during the evacuation."

"But the battle between Your Majesty and General Shatterstar is a perfect opportunity. Our mission is to guard the surrounding area."

Edgar gave the order in a resounding voice.

"As ordered."

The Southern Army might be more concerned about the ownership of Great Rune than Fulilian. She believes that there are always more solutions than problems and is not in a hurry, but the people in the border areas don't think so.

They look forward to supporting the Fader, the true quasi-king who possesses two large runes.

Then Gallid is the most important link, and it is worth the Southern Army investing the greatest resources to deploy various plans.

……

Underground world, the main hall of the Blood Dynasty.

Monger raised his weapon high, and from the pool of blood before him rose an identical clone. He was dressed in luxurious attire, towering and majestic, his rich magical aura filled with oppression, forcing the surrounding nobles to kneel in worship.

He has created enough demigod-level clones to fight.

Although it is still a long way from the original form, it can influence the situation and will definitely turn Gaileed into a sea of blood.

"I've been preparing my clones lately and haven't been paying attention to your intelligence. How are things going? Are there any new developments with the Southern Army and Fulilian?"

"Your Majesty, Selia has fallen..."

The subordinates explained the whole story in detail, and emphasized how the Ningmufu forces broke in with such force that they must be taken seriously. Now they are a force that cannot be ignored.

Everything was unexpected. Who knew that the weakest area could create such an army?

I don't know what kind of magic potion Fulilian fed these guys. Each of them has exaggerated fighting power, and they continue to gather together. The number finally reached 3 and it was difficult to deal with them.

The Blood Dynasty army cannot mobilize too many people due to the need for concealment, so there may be some disadvantages.

How to do?

These officers who will go to the battlefield are the most worried.

Mung glanced around and naturally noticed the tension, so he said confidently, "Yes, the enemy's military strength exceeded our expectations. But don't forget, Scarlet Corruption and Cursed Blood are both polluting forces. They are the ones we should be wary of; they certainly can't be fully utilized."

"And haven't you been guiding the corrupted creatures? They will cause trouble for the Southern Army. We have plenty of means."

"There's no need to confront them head-on. The Blood Dynasty will step in at the most opportune moment."

Everyone felt a little relieved after hearing this.

It was they who secretly disintegrated the King's coalition army when it attacked Rodel City. They are experienced and it is nothing more than a reappearance of glory. Moreover, the enemy's army this time is far inferior to that during the Fragment War and is not worth mentioning.

"Your Majesty, what time do you think should be chosen?"

"Actually, the location is more important. It's in the sand dunes below Red Lion City. Secondly, the Ionian Swamps are also good. They're perfect for wiping out a large army in one fell swoop."

"Who do you think will survive to the end of the battle festival?"

"Of course, General Starbreaker. My main countermeasure is to defend against gravity magic. Latarn will probably be able to hold out in this battle, but he won't have much combat power left. We'll then move in. On the other hand, if Fulilian has the upper hand, we'll intervene in advance. After all, she brings a large army with her. If we kill the commander, it will be much easier to deal with the Southern Army."

In fact, Monger already had a clear plan and was just waiting for his clone. Now everything is ready.

"As ordered."

The nobles of the Blood Dynasty were extremely excited, looking forward to the day when a quasi-king with two Great Runes would appear in the world, enough to challenge the royal city of Rodel and establish a new dynasty.

"But there's another variable. You'd better tell me that Lienia has already declared war on the Royal City."

"Yes, the two sides are clashing around the elevator area."

"How intense is it?"

"They certainly can't help Galid anyway. They're not brave enough to defend against the threat from the Yatan Plateau while traveling all the way to the southernmost tip to provide support."

After receiving a positive answer, Monger nodded and sent his clone to the surface.

Around the Lienia Lift.

Thick smoke filled the huge elevator shaft, so pungent that it was impossible to see far away. Sparks flew along with the sound of chains rubbing against each other.

This was a smoke screen released by both sides, which then formed a fire tornado.

The small force of the Royal City Army that tried to attack from the Yatan Plateau needed to block their vision. They couldn't just go directly into the battlefield under the aim of numerous crossbows, otherwise they would be shot into sieves and killed on the spot.

same.

Commander Mugram decided to avoid the enemy's attack and withdraw the frontline troops from the enemy's attack range and provide cover.

As a result, the two sides fought each other and thick smoke billowed.

He ordered sternly: "Don't worry about the view, just attack, determined to destroy the elevator!"

"Yes, General."

Mugram perked up every time she heard this new title. Unexpectedly, before departure, Fulilian generously awarded the former Knight of Kalia the rank of General, unconcerned with her complex identity, as long as she was useful. When she went on the expedition to Galid, someone had to manage and withstand the pressure on the front lines.

The Moon Princess, the heir to the royal family, did not object. It was obvious that the two allied parties had high hopes for him and he must not let his master down.

No matter what happens, the mission is to guard the elevator area.

Round after round of arrows flew towards the target, and the crisp sound of clanging could be heard in the thick smoke.

blocked.

The sound of shields clashing was familiar to everyone, but this was just a harassment. The main event was about to begin: the goblins pulled out their massive siege crossbows.

It flew out with a loud bang and slammed into the enemy's formation, causing a shock wave and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

"Good, keep covering the frequency."

The Lienian army, fighting at home, had no shortage of ammunition, so they simply seized every opportunity to unleash their firepower, firmly blocking the enemy in the elevator area. Even if their bows ached from straining, they dared not stop for a moment.

boom!

Suddenly, a tall tree guard rushed out of the smoke under the cover of several Rodel knights, and the huge golden halberd stabbed straight towards them.

He easily overturned the knights in the front row of the Lienia army and was unstoppable.

His battle-hardened aura was impressive, and he was probably considered an elite among the tree guards. With such a master about to charge in, the consequences would be disastrous if the formation was disrupted.

Suddenly, with a crisp clang, the hero Samir blocked the sweep, and then an ice storm rolled up under his feet.

The cold from the snowfield frightened the warhorse, but fortunately the tree guard grabbed the reins in time to prevent it from losing balance.
