Frillian in the Elden Ring

He looked at the slowly approaching Monger's clone.

The blood nobles around hurriedly saluted. Only the chief knight dared to speak so sharply. If it were anyone else, the proud Fragment King would probably not listen.

"That's right, so the Galide War is a good opportunity to test it. Don't worry, Ampach, I know that there will be a decisive battle in the end."

"Not only because becoming king must be done honorably, but also because I want to defeat Mongert fairly and make him realize his mistakes."

Just wait and see.

The Golden Dynasty is not worth protecting, and sooner or later my brother will understand.

Today, the will of the so-called Blessed King is entirely supported by his admiration and recollection of the heyday of the dynasty. He is the son of an evil omen in the sewer, who looks at the abundant blessings and yearns for them, has missed them all his life, and has taken the initiative to shoulder responsibilities and be bound by them.

What do you think when the world gets better and better without the lack of golden trees, such as Fulilian cleaning up the scarlet corruption?

What would it be like if I killed the representative of hope?

Monger sneered: "Do the final inspection, Ampah, and then my clone will lead the army to the battle."

"As ordered."

Chapter 163: Se Lian’s grudge.

Yatan Plateau volcanic area.

The mighty army of the Royal City advanced in an orderly fashion, their steps steady and unstoppable, slicing through the advancing serpent monsters like melons and vegetables. The monsters hissed and roared, but could do nothing to stop their onslaught.

The soldiers maintained a tight formation and crushed the enemies along the way, clearing out the monsters that were wreaking havoc along the way.

The mission goal is to wipe out as many guys as possible who attacked the surrounding villages, otherwise there will be no peace on the Yatan Plateau.

Knight Rodel walked through the sea of corpses and blood without even looking at the corpses, searching for every basilisk that dared to attack.

The group arrived at a village on the edge of a volcano.

"careful!"

As the warning sounded, a slime monster leaped out of a small house and immediately knocked the soldier in front of it down. What's the big deal? We've seen them at the border before, and they're very weak.

However, the next moment, with a hissing sound, the knight and his armor disappeared completely.

"This guy's devouring effect is even stronger!"

The surrounding Rodel soldiers hurriedly thrust out their spears, but they had little effect on the puddle of mud. As for weapons such as bows and sledgehammers, they were completely useless.

In a blink of an eye, it knocked down a few more, and at the same time, more slime monsters attacked from the hut.

"Roar!"

It was clearly a mass of sol-like stuff, but it was roaring with its head held high, and a big mouth was faintly visible, which looked very incongruous and terrifying.

Suddenly, a golden rain of arrows enveloped them, and they all collapsed in an instant. The monsters in front of them disappeared without exception. The one who attacked was Markit, the leader of this team. He took a deep breath and muttered:

"Looks like Larcade has something new to welcome us. Never mind, just clean up as usual."

Knight Rodel reorganized his formation and continued his attack.

Having experienced many battles, they would not be intimidated by such a degree of intimidation. They surrounded the special new monsters one by one in an orderly manner.

What happens next is no surprise.

Having said that, sporadic casualties still occurred in the battle. I didn't expect such an unexpected situation to occur during an attempted proactive suppression.

"Sir, these things should be semi-finished products of the experiment."

Malkit nodded. "I can see that too. We can't escape from the volcanic battlefield. Tell the troops near the elevator not to fight the collapsed tunnel."

Unexpectedly, the bad news is not over yet——

"Just now, intelligence arrived from the front lines: The Second Ionian War ended with Fulilian defeating the Goddess of Corruption. Now, the Southern Army and the Red Lion Army are practically united. Aside from the extra time required for the battle festival preparations, they're completely in control."

"The Corruption Lake was cleaned up, and she even changed her name to Lake Melina. The source of pollution disappeared."

"Combining the previously completed purification efforts at Gale Fortress, the Dragon Tomb, and the flower fields of Selia Town, the Soul Fire King has now completed preparations for a comprehensive cleansing operation."

"It's only a matter of time before Gaileed is completely cleansed..."

Silence fell.

She had indeed succeeded; it turned out that the crimson, rotten soil could revive and even blossom into a field of flowers. Even those far away on the Yatan Plateau couldn't wait to see the beautiful sight.

The symbolic significance of this event is immeasurable, declaring that Fulilian's appeal will continue to grow.

The only variable is the battle with Ratan.

After a moment's hesitation, Market said, "It's time for us to take a defensive stance, but we'll have to see how effective the battle festival is."

He gazed towards the south and sighed. Now he couldn't tell whether he was inclined to hope that Monger's plan would succeed, or that Fulilian would continue to repair more of the damage caused by the broken war.

……

Gayleed, Red Lion City.

After a brief respite in the flower fields and wetlands, the Southern Army finally settled into the largest city in the region. Originally, Edgar and the other officers had intended to remain stationed on the periphery for security, but they couldn't resist Jeremiah's invitation.

It would be too unreasonable to let my benefactor stay outside in the wind and sun, so we might as well go into the city together.

They believed that everyone had shared a common hatred and a common enemy in the battle against the Goddess of Corruption, and that they were now of course welcome to the Red Lion Army.

The sentry post at the gate.

The welcoming Jie Lian said with a smile: "It's okay, right? Although it's far from the grandeur of Stonewell City."

"It would be nice to be able to rest my feet for a bit."

Edgar replied.

While the two were exchanging pleasantries, Fulilian received the magic scrolls brought by the Red Lion Wizard, and as promised, she handed over these precious reserves to the world's number one magician.

Among them is a large amount of research on gravity magic.

Seeing this, the silver-haired girl immediately entered into a research state, oblivious to what was happening outside.

Since she said so, the subordinates just had to exchange pleasantries one by one, and at least discuss the issue of the defense of Red Lion City first, so as to take precautions in the upcoming battle ceremony.

"There have been clues in the intelligence that the Blood Dynasty is secretly maneuvering, and they must be planning to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack."

Jie Lian asserted.

"Indeed, our Southern Army also has some information. The mysterious Fragment King attacked Your Majesty at Lake Yakir."

"Oh? I don't know about that. What was the situation at that time?"

Edgar said proudly, "It was merely a bloody finger that possessed him. Your Majesty's power easily destroyed it. Perhaps we became enemies even then."

"The Fragment King operating in secret is indeed a cause for concern. We must be prepared."

The two continued to discuss the plan.

While the Blood Dynasty's threat was imminent, it wasn't fatal. Having already overcome the most dreaded phase, the Scarlet Corruption, what was there to fear? The ceremony would proceed as usual.

The two sides communicated on their military deployments and everything went smoothly.

After a while, Fulilian put down the magic scroll, leaving behind an endless aftertaste. It was indeed a gravity magic from the outside world.

Some things that I didn’t have time to think about have been answered, which is enough to take a step further. I look forward to the actual performance at that time.

"His Majesty."

Suddenly, Jie Lian's voice interrupted her thoughts. She turned around and asked, "Have you finished your discussion?"

"Yes, by the way, I want to ask someone, is Lord Seren doing well?"

"The Origin School has reopened its laboratories and classrooms, and all the old academic artifacts have been disposed of. So she can focus on studying soul magic. As for the dangerous topics that could turn her into a magician's ball, she should put them aside."

"Actually, I have some grudges with her..."

The old man talked about his past as a witch hunter. Even though the Fragment King in front of him was the apprentice of the Cube Witch, he always felt uncomfortable if he didn't say it.

He felt a lot more relaxed after speaking it out, and felt that everything was getting better as the scarlet corruption faded away.

As the listener, Frillian sometimes nodded and sometimes agreed, not caring at all about the witch.

It doesn't matter.

"...Anyway, after what happened, based on our master-disciple relationship, perhaps we could be considered enemies."

"Teacher Se Lian mentioned the past dispute to me. It is none of my business at the moment. Unless you continue to seek revenge on her, then I will kill you."

"Is it so direct?"

After hearing Fulilian's simple and straightforward statement of helping relatives instead of the relationship, Jie Lian was slightly startled, thinking there would be some politeness or persuasion.

However, as soon as she said this murderous word, Edgar, who had been chatting and laughing just now, grasped the hilt of his sword. After all, Selian was also his colleague. Since they served the Soul Fire King together, as a knight, he had to share the worries.

Your Majesty's teacher is also on the protection team, so what if she is just a witch hunter.

"Right and wrong? Good and evil? I've seen too many complicated things to even struggle with these kinds of questions."

The silver-haired girl shook her head.

"The answer is that only the people and things around me are legitimate. If there is a threat, I don't mind killing them early, so I won't allow you to continue hunting."

There should be another set of moral standards in this dark world.

I get along well with Teacher Seren, and she is useful to magic research, that's enough.

Jeremiah sighed, "I also know Mr. Iggy. We once served the Kalia royal family together. But he's a smart man. If he knew about the relationship between the Soul Fire King and the Cube Witch, he wouldn't have mentioned it to you, right? In the end, many grudges have changed."

"I don't know much about the Kalia royal family. My alliance is with Lani. Why not ask Blaze about this? He happens to be here."

Frielian did not reveal the news of Rani's arrival.

"No need. I am just complaining to His Majesty. You can just treat it as a small talk."

"Ah."

"So straightforward! Aren't you curious whether I'll say one thing and then do another?"

"Thinking about interpersonal grudges isn't my strong suit. Now that the threat has been made, it's up to you. Everyone will have to bear the consequences of their decisions, so just think it through."

Upon hearing this, Jie Lian's mouth twitched.

Having said that, the pressure from the silver-haired girl lingered around him all the time. Even though she hadn't drawn her sword, the edge was pointing directly at his throat.

I advise you to make a promise to stop so that everyone can be better off.

For a long time, Freelian has given people the impression of a saint who is detached from the world and untainted by grudges, but in fact, after seeing the rescue of the spiritual witch, you will understand.

If someone you care about gets hurt, you may even disregard your own safety.

Besides, she was never a pushover. Some news was well known: Greg's diehard followers in Stonewell City had become material for limb grafts, and many diehards at the Magic Academy had been killed, but even more had become subjects for various magical experiments...

terrible.

No one wants to try what would happen if a magician who specializes in the soul field tortured people, especially in the border area where the concept of soul purity is deeply rooted in people's minds.

"If I hunt down Seren, you won't just take revenge on me, right?"

"Then you might as well give it a try."

From beginning to end, Fulilian had a calm expression.

After hesitating for a moment, Jeremiah said self-deprecatingly, "Forget it. I'm such a hesitant guy. There's no need to dwell on these things. After the battle festival is over, I'll stay in Red Lion City. Galid needs to be taken care of."

"And I am very grateful to Your Majesty for saving the lives of the people in this land and welcoming back the royal family of Kalia."

"If you have anything to say in the future, please feel free to ask me. I, Jie Lian, will be at your disposal."

Edgar and other officers beside him looked relaxed. This was the right way. In the face of the more magnificent and beautiful future created by His Majesty, what harm would all those grudges have?

The Red Lion Army looked at each other, and finally looked firmly at the silver-haired girl, waiting for her answer:

"What does it mean?"

It’s not that Fulilian didn’t understand, but she needed a more clear allegiance ceremony instead of ambiguous speeches.

It has to be admitted that even after years of decline, the Red Lion still has some combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that they understand the Gaileyd region and can quickly expand productivity as a highly organized army, ensuring that an area can not only recover but also provide resources.

From the beginning she had one real target in mind:

conquer.

The highest priority is to control the resources of this land even if the scarlet corruption cannot be purified. For example, the ruins and underground palace are indispensable.
