Frillian in the Elden Ring

The actions of Stonewell City have always attracted people's attention.

In this dead and stagnant time, there is no other area in the entire border area that is as active as it, and every move of Nimgfu is worth paying attention to.

The unstoppable new demigod will embark on another journey. Unlike his previous tour of the south, he will now target the Lake Lienia region. This is a big deal, after all, a considerable number of forces are involved here, and it is also considered to be entering the military radiation zone of the Yatan Plateau.

really.

Going north is relatively easy compared to continuing south to fight against the troublesome Crimson Corrupted Land and the most powerful demigod Latarn.

It was a bit disappointing for some people who wanted to see the Soul Cinder King fight against the Star-Breaking General.

It doesn't feel as good as Latarn.

But no one would ignore Fulilian's actions. After all, her control over her own territory was second only to that of the Royal City of Rodel. She could fully mobilize resources and dispatch troops at a single command.

The place once known as the "ruins of the witch's imprisonment" was completely uprooted. Unlike the last time when she swept it alone, it was the southern army that flattened it and purified it.

In the future this will become a new residential area and has nothing to do with the college.

This move undoubtedly sends a signal.

This was Fulilian's response to the mages' repeated provocations of "suppressing witches," "secretly spreading new schools of thought," and "researching heretics." Did they really think they could just sit back and talk nonsense? So arrogant that they didn't know their own limits?

The Southern Army also took action and began to strengthen security in the Lienia area of Lake Lienia, ready to respond to attacks at any time.

In a sense, by simultaneously defending the north and attacking the eastern wall of fire to eliminate the corrupt families, the war potential on both fronts can be seen.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nimgfu, despite his outwardly high profile, was actually keeping a low profile, maintaining low-intensity military training and continuously increasing his power. Perhaps one day he would pounce on the common goal of the Fading Ones...

The royal city of Rodel.

A Night Rider bowed deeply to Monget in front of him.

"News from the front lines: The troops in the elevator area have been assembled, reaching 2. Their quality is unmatched in the Nimgefu region. The enemy will never reach the Yatan Plateau."

"Not only that, we've also dispatched troops to patrol the area along the elevator, ready to attack at any time."

"According to our spies, this time the Fragment King Fulilian is targeting the Magic Academy. Besides collecting Great Runes, she probably also has a fondness for magic books. Perhaps we'll have a chance to engage in a confrontation with her in the Lake Lienia region."

Then he presented a map.

It roughly depicts the route of action of the Southern Army, which defends and attacks the North and the East at the same time, and the deployment is very clear.

There are too many ways to observe the army at the border. Both sides are playing an open game. It will depend on who is truly capable. Can the rebels who have raised the banner of rebellion enter the royal city of Rodel?

After a careful review, Mungat continued to ask: "What about the specific types of troops?"

The Night Riders even had to produce a report, which shows how much information Nimgefu had.

"It's rumored that Stonewell City has been systematically training flying dragons, storm eagles, and winged hybrids as flying units. With their resources, they will be much stronger. In addition, the number of limb-grafting nobles and dragon feasters is also increasing."

"What's more special is that Fulilian's ash army is getting stronger and stronger, and they are constantly collecting ashes. The future should be more difficult."

"Sir, I actually suggest that the rebels be wiped out as soon as possible."

"..."

Mongert remained silent. Who wouldn't know that hidden dangers should be addressed early? The problem was that his army was more than adequate for defense than for attack, and a large-scale presence outside the Yatan Plateau was already draining their energy.

Things are different now. Although the royal city is undoubtedly the most powerful, the fact is that its stock has been weakening.

In contrast, Ningmu Gefu is growing against the trend.

To be precise, it didn't suffer much loss before, so it was in such a mess because of the secondary disasters caused by the aftermath. However, the arrival of Frillian changed everything, such as curing the zombification.

I have received news of the huge increase in population in the south, not to mention the direct controller.

very troublesome.

If we launch a rash expedition, even if we only penetrate deeply into the lake area, it is possible that the enemies who are eyeing the royal city will take action.

"Don't be too reckless. From what I understand, Fulilian has a strong foundation for rule. As much as I hate to admit it, she's given the South a better option. If we launch an offensive, it will only further fuel their rebellious spirit. Do we really want to turn the remaining land of resurgence into a sea of fire?"

"My duty is to protect the Golden Tree and the prosperity of Rodel. If Fulilian launches a third siege of Rodel, let us fight it out here."

Since Mungert has made up his mind, it is difficult for his subordinates to persuade him.

In fact, they also wanted to suggest that the King of Blessing directly stand up and declare himself the King of Elden, denying the enemy's legitimacy.

But he would not accept it, and the people of the borderland would have to witness the birth of a king from a son of evil omen, a subhuman hybrid. The thought of this was unbearable.

Anyway, the social order is in chaos.

On the other side, outside the Kalia Walled City area.

Iggy welcomed a dusty figure, it was Blaze who had returned from investigating Gallid.

"What's going on, Blaze? How long can General Starbreaker hold up in this condition?"

"It's hard to say what the limits of a demigod are, but the Red Lion Knights are serious about holding a battle festival, likely intending to give their commander a proper farewell. It's a shame there aren't many strong ones present, at least not strong enough to defeat Latarn."

"If the stars don't move, many things won't be possible. We can only wait and see. But that change should have already happened. I heard that there are new movements in Galide?"

"Yes, a monster with human pus has appeared. There's also news that the Volcano Residence has come into contact with a devouring monster from outside the border area, and it seems to be preparing to launch a new round of threats to the royal city."

Blaze looked worried.

The volcano was one of the most brutal battlefields during the Shattered War, and if another war broke out, it would probably be even worse.

Iggy murmured, "No wonder King Blessing has been reluctant to send a large army to attack the south. I'm afraid his main defense is at Volcano... The problem is, after so many years, no one knows how many troops are left at Volcano."

"Compared to this, I heard that Nimgfu is also taking action?"

"Yes, the new Shard King has finally begun to head north. I guess the troop movement is a cover to hide her tracks."

"why?"

"After all, she likes this style of solo adventure. Another reason might be that Fulilian is going to meet someone who is also hiding, so she wants to create a scene to attract attention so as not to expose her friend."

Iggy glanced meaningfully at the Lani Magician Tower in the distance, and Blaze immediately understood.

Chapter 100: Teacher Tops.

The entrance to the magic academy was heavily guarded, with fully armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.

A mage kept urging, "Increase patrols and expand the area. Don't you know? The Shard King may attack here. Do your best, or we will all die."

At the same time, he did not forget to order the Sons of Platinum to equip their weapons, and then formed a small team and walked towards the lake.

His name was Aiken. He was a professor of magic, but he was squeezed out by those guys and had to do this kind of dirty work. It was really humiliating and he was full of anger.

"Damn it, this is so troublesome."

Aiken wasn't the only one angry. Garrison Captain Henrys was also shouting, "A bunch of idiots from the Sons of Platinum. They're so slow. What's the point of relying on them? Aside from the first generation of Sons of Platinum, who are somewhat respectable, the rest are garbage."

"But the advantage lies in loyalty. We can mass-produce as much as we want, and there's plenty of cannon fodder."

"If you guys, who are just gathering dust in the academy, hadn't provoked the new demigod, how could you have been targeted? The chance of peaceful coexistence would have been lost."

"Why blame me? It's not me who's stupid, it's those anti-Origin magicians who've gone insane. And they genuinely despise a demihuman who's developed subversive magic and openly disseminated it. To me, that's blasphemy."

"boring."

As a warrior, Henrys didn't understand the strange persistence of these people. Did they really think they were superior to others just because of their high intelligence and magical talent?

Well, in the Lienia of the Lake region, most soldiers dared not speak out.

Amidst the shouting and yelling, the defense line surrounding the entrance to the magic academy became stronger and more layered.

In addition, a team of mages joined.

Aiken smiled and said, "Don't worry. Don't forget that the Magic Academy resisted the armies of the Golden Conquest during its heyday. What's a mere demigod from a poor place like Nimgerfu? It's nothing to worry about."

"Back then, the academy had the Full Moon Queen and many Kalia Knights. What about now?"

Henrys sneered, disdainful of the mage's self-deception.

"You don't understand the background of the magic academy. We will definitely win the defense battle."

"Hopefully."

"It's not hope, it's a matter of course. No matter how many troops the South deploys, they will be completely wiped out by the academy, and their bodies will be thrown into the lake to feed the shrimp."

The mages even laughed loudly when talking about this. They were not worried about the enemy's attack at all. History has proven how indestructible the city wall behind them is. As long as the door is closed, even a strong one like Radagon will not be able to take it down for a long time.

Besides, the Lake Lienia region is very complicated, with the presence of the Azalea Knights, the Kalia royal family, and the Royal City Army...

It's a mess, so be it. I'm not afraid that you'll make it worse if you come in and get involved.

……

The Great Blessing Point, which was independent of the border area, felt a sense of change. The Faded People, who had made Stonewell City their second gathering place, quickly brought back news: Fulilian might attack the Magic Academy.

The Faded Ones were not surprised by this. Everyone was pursuing the Elden Ring, so it was not difficult to understand why Flillian, who currently had the most power, was taking active action. It was truly inspiring.

However, Roderica looked worried. She looked at the blacksmith across from her and asked, "Mr. Shugu, the Lake Lienia region is far from peaceful like Nimgufu. It's even more dangerous there. Do you think Lady Fulilian will be safe?"

"How would I know, but she better not disgrace the weapon I strengthened with my own hands."

The blacksmith continued hammering at the sword in front of him, sparks flashing in his eyes, but a sense of anticipation ignited in his heart.

The storm raised by Fulilian was not a flash in the pan, nor would it be contained in a corner. She finally took action.

In the office.

Sir Baizhi, who was working at his desk, raised his head for the first time in a long time, because his trusted subordinate Shane brought a new piece of information: the big move of the Southern Army might be a cover, and it was actually carried out by Fulilian alone.

"You're the type who can't sit still... How do you say two fingers?"

"He expressed his blessing and looked forward to His Majesty the Soul Fire King's performance. If he successfully obtained the second Great Rune, he would be a true quasi-king, just one step away from the Ring of Magic."

"Let that divine messenger fool you all you want. The King of Blessing, who guards the royal city, is not easy to talk to. Furthermore, Fulilian cannot be controlled by any conspiracy. From the beginning, she decided to travel the border areas and collect everything. Perhaps she will discover a truth that rivals or even surpasses mine."

"Do you want to support Stonewell City?"

"The Round Table Hall encourages the Faded to go to Nimgfu as support. No further action is necessary."

Lord Baizhi believed that the next step would be the true test of the Southern Army. What kind of improvement could there be by staying in the weakest part of the South? It lacked gold content.

It's just defeating the weakest demigod, some top heroes can probably do it.

Moreover, to dominate the world, one needs a strong army. Can Nimgfu, which has been developing for a while, gather enough troops to attack? Or can it win over powerful allies?

There are too many variables.

Perhaps Fulilian hadn't thought much about it and was simply looking for adventure. She was a pure fader, and her behavior was more like traveling. So it was difficult to plot against her. At worst, she would be alone again.

"By the way, keep an eye on Platinum Village."

Suddenly, Sir Baizhi reminded him as if he had thought of something: "After all, Fulilian might go there, and a conflict would not be good."

Shane nodded: "So we should avoid it?"

"That's right. Don't make enemies with her easily. Just get along with her harmoniously first."

After giving some instructions for arrangements, he continued to work at his desk as if he were just an ordinary clerk.

……

In the Gaileyd region, the Red Lion City welcomed a support team from Nimgfu. They came from afar across the Wall of Fire, representing the friendship of Stonewell City and committed to jointly eliminating the Scarlet Corruption.

Many Red Lion Knights were encouraged to know that their cause had finally received a response, and that it was the attention of a new demigod.

The city lord, Jie Lian, solemnly welcomed the group. It was the preparation stage for the battle festival and the city was very lively, so it was not difficult to entertain an army.

"Please convey my respects to Her Majesty Fulilian."

"Of course, we are a united front."

The leading officer nodded sincerely.

"By the way, from what I understand, is it enough for Stonewell City to deploy troops in two directions simultaneously? Even if the Nimgefu region is rapidly recovering, it will be difficult to supply so much armament, right?"

"This is no secret. Our general direction is to integrate the southern region first. We are merely exploring the path to Lake Lienia and establishing forward surveillance."

"I hope Lady Fulilian can attend this festival."

When Jerlian made his request, the other party agreed without surprise, apparently having given instructions in advance. In other words, had the Soul Cinder King set his sights on Latarn from the very beginning? He might have prioritized the Magic Academy, but the conquest of the entire Lakeland could be postponed.

How ambitious!

……

Fulilian left later than planned.
