Crown of Chaos

PS: Make up for yesterday’s leave tomorrow, otherwise there won’t be enough time in the evening.

On the first day of November in the valley calendar of 1365, Cormyr's regent Alice Serre led the Purple Dragon Knights into the Elf Hill Camp.

As the morning light dawned, Alice Sel was the first to ride into the camp on a war horse. The regent princess also wore her long golden hair tied up and put on her father's helmet. In addition to her extraordinary armor, she wore a purple dragon pattern. Zhang's burqa hid her graceful figure, but the majesty and dominance contained in those blood-red eyes were always there.

A large number of Susar local nobles stood in front of the camp gate. They had all changed into noble attires, and had all kinds of minks, pom-poms, and crowns. They looked like jewels and jade.

Aliceser glanced at this group of local nobles from Susar, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

Do you think this group of nobles is useful? Most of them are like Aaron in the past. They have almost disappeared without any real power positions. They only have an honorary title left on them. They live on their ancestral property and receive palace subsidies. Obviously, they are of no use to them. It is a burden to the kingdom.

But to say that this group of nobles are really useless, they have sold their properties and rushed to the front line, just to have a chance to prove to the kingdom that they are still useful. From this point of view alone, they are indeed patriotic.

"People who enjoy first-class status should also be at the forefront when the country is in trouble." Aaron's words rang in Alice Sayre's ears.

In the past, Alice Searle had always had issues with the group of moths in Susar, but today she felt that by showing courage like this, there might still be some useful talents among these moths, but they just didn't get the chance.

As for those who didn't come, the regent princess had already sentenced them to death in her heart.

They don't even have the courage to go to the battlefield. These people have no value at all. We will deal with them when we get back.

Rarely giving the local nobles of Susar a good look, Alice Serre and the Purple Dragon Knights immediately turned their attention to today's highlight.

The Ninth Shepherd Legion and Aaron's Monster Knights!

She wanted to see with her own eyes what had become of Aaron's army?

She specially picked a time when Aaron was not around. According to the information from Queen's Blade, Aaron found the gnoll leader Caudik in the ruins. Viscount Salian planned to personally interrogate Caudik about Duke Bilgard and him. It's about my parents, so it's not in the camp.

All that is needed is that Aaron is not in the camp!

Alice Searle led the people immediately into the camp of the Shepherd Legion.

Before Alice Serre appeared, most of the soldiers of the Shepherd Legion were still asleep. When Alice Serre entered the camp, more than 1,200 Shepherd Legion soldiers were already fully armed and ready to line up.

These 1,200 people are divided into twelve teams, ten teams of extraordinary plate armor soldiers with twenty people in each row, five rows in one team, east and west. Each has five teams. A road opens from the inside to the outside of the camp, facing each other.

One hundred and a half gryphon knights stood in the distance. The ferocious monster cavalry obviously didn't like this strict sense of order. They let out a few howls from time to time, trying to break free.

Until in front of the demi-griffon knights, a white-haired dragon lady stomped her black high-heeled boots to the ground.

"An~jing~" the great dragon Egil put his hands on his hips and said with a smile.

One hundred and a half griffons collectively fell silent.

There were also snow elves who were not willing to be controlled. They were forced to stand together under the command of the two brothers Leerta and Evana.

Above and below the Salian heraldry flag, inside and outside the shepherd camp, the Purple Dragon Knights, royal nobles, and local nobles of Susar behind the Princess Regent were all poking their heads, their eyes falling on Aaron's shepherd army.

Ram's horns, bull's horns and kite helmet, sky blue Salian heraldic robe, silver eight-pointed star emblem indicates the first level, that is, extraordinary extraordinary full-body plate armor, iron boots and iron kneepads, the surface of the armor flows under the rays of the morning sun. Burning silver brilliance.

This is the first time that the Shepherd Legion has shown its fangs to the whole country in an organized manner.

The last time Alice Sel came to the Sunset Leader to inspect the army, Aaron had not yet been promoted to legend, had not yet completed the Golden Law, and had not yet refined the power of the horned rat into a golden tree and converted it into his own power. At that time, the shepherd The legion is just an ordinary legion in the Cormyr Legion sequence. It wears standard military uniforms and standard weapons. The occasional few transformed Chaos Warriors try to keep a low profile.

Things have changed, and Aaron feels that there is no need to pretend anymore!

Moreover, Aaron is not here today, and the person in charge of the camp has become the great dragon Egil.

What Dalonglong thought was much simpler: I am a giant dragon! Isn't it natural for dragons to show off their treasures?

After visiting the shepherd soldiers, Alice Serre and others turned their attention to the hundred monster knights - the half-gryphons raised their heads proudly, and a circle of golden-yellow gradient hair was arrogant in the morning light. The knights A sharp serpentine steel saber hangs on his left hand, and he holds a long lance in his right hand. He has gleaming armor and exquisite saddlery. The Salian emblem on the surface of the monster armor carried by the half-gryphon is full of majesty.

It was already late autumn or even early winter, and the climate was gradually getting colder. The cold wind at dawn blew through the dresses of the nobles, causing many people to subconsciously shrink their necks and stamp their feet on the ground. Some people had already caught a cold and sneezed. The soldiers of the Shepherd Legion remained silent. From the moment Alice Searle appeared until the princess entered the camp, apart from the military salute, they did not even whisper or cough.

The only things that made noise in the autumn wind were the wind-blown robes, the swaying Salian heraldic banner, and the eagle banner of the Shepherd Legion.

He is fully armored, has a fierce style, and has a dense arsenal.

Seeing this made many Purple Dragon Knights feel cold in their hearts.

Ian Hutson, the Grand Inspector General of the Purple Dragon Knights, had a twisted look on his face. He thought to himself: What does Aaron want to do?

Fangda Hester, the chief wizard of the Cormyr royal family, made a mental comparison between the shepherd army and the army of Asan IV in the heyday of Cormyr.

The result made the old mage sweat profusely.

However, Alice Searle did not seem to be affected too much. The princess was even in a happy mood and told everyone not to be formal. She got off her mount and casually asked Cousin Robert who was accompanying the army: "Aaron and Ellie Where is No?"

She was asking knowingly.

"Aaron and Eleanor went out for something..." Robert told the news about the capture of the jackal Caudick. It could be seen that his cousin was still a little afraid of the Obeschier royal family. He bent his waist. Very low: "I'll send someone to call Aaron back right away!"

"No need." Alice Serle led everyone into the big tent, and the regent princess sat in Aaron's seat very naturally.

The chief wizard of the Cormyr Royal Family, Fangda Hester, was habitually trying to sit down at the head of the princess, when he saw a very fast silhouette passing him and sitting down in that position.

She has brilliant silver hair, two dragon horns, a highlight on her forehead, and a hot figure that cannot be restrained under a black silk tights. The tall and arrogant dragon Egil proudly looks towards Alice. Serge introduced: "You want to be at the end of the crane in the hot spring bath?"

Alice Searle's smile froze. The fact that the Regent Princess was the first to be eliminated in the hot spring bath battle was still something she was brooding over. Egil often teased her about it.

But I can't beat her!

"Yes, this is my big tent. I usually sleep here, and the servants and Eleanor sleep there."

"This is my army. How about it? Is it majestic or not?"

"Ahahahahahahahaha~ Handsome, aren't you? The servants take care of everything!"

The big dragon Egil swayed with her legs and supported her chin with one hand. Without Aaron, she felt that she should be the biggest talker and took the initiative to introduce the furnishings in the military camp to Alice Serre.

"It's really admirable that the Shepherd Legion can achieve such results after being put into your hands." Alice Serre didn't take it seriously. The regent princess said to Yuri Barkov, the leader of the Queen's Blade: "Bakov, go Invite all the officers of the Shepherd Legion."

"yes."

The officers walked into the big tent. Compared with the ordinary shepherd soldiers, the officers were more decorated. The collars, cuffs, and edges of the robes were all inlaid with golden lace, and there was a golden tassel hanging on the chest. , on the chest, the pattern of the silver eight-pointed star is replaced by a gold ring of law.

The person is more powerful and has a faint aura of strength. It is obvious that he is already a master-level expert.

"No need to be polite, I watched Aaron grow up. Many of you either came out of Suzal, or are former members of the Marine Corps, and some are former Purple Dragon Knights. In this environment, There is no need to wear armor, take off the armor and let’s have a nice chat.” Alice Selling said softly.

"Yes..." the officers responded. The former trio of Purple Dragon Knights, Ramsey, Norrington and Havre, subconsciously wanted to obey the order, but the others did not move. They looked at each other and did not move.

Doherty and Teach rolled their eyes, and the Snow Elf siblings also looked away.

The air was suddenly quiet.

The smile on Alice Ser's face gradually disappeared, and the regent princess opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but kept silent.

Ian Hutson, the Grand Inspector General of the Purple Dragon Knights, had a face as red as a pig's liver. The Grand Inspector General had been in charge of discipline all his life, and he never expected that something like this would happen.

His professional habits have driven him crazy: "What are you doing? Shepherd, His Highness asked you to remove your armor, are you deaf?"

The officers all showed awkward but polite expressions, and they subconsciously looked at the great dragon Egil who was sitting under Alice Ser, with his hands folded on his chest, his eyes closed and his chin raised.

Well, Lord Aaron is not here, Lady Eleanor is not here, Egil has the final say.

Egil raised his long black stocking legs and swung his toes. When all eyes were on him, the satisfied Dalonglong said: "Since His Highness asked you to remove your armor, you can take it off." Bar!"

"Yes!!!" the officers responded with a roar.

After taking off his armor, Egil leaned back on his chair with a smile, while Alice Thel and all representatives of the Purple Dragon Knights and the Queen's Blades had pale faces.

Especially Alice Searle, the regent princess suddenly realized a problem.

The vassal of my vassal is not my vassal. She seems to have no ability to restrain Aaron's subordinates?

The Great Dragon Aegir can command the Shepherd Legion as the Aspect Dragon of Cormyr and the Aspect Dragon of Sunset Territory, and as a partner of Aaron.

But what about yourself? In what capacity do I order the Shepherd Legion?

Aliceser raised her eyes and saw Egil looking at her provocatively.

The regent was horrified.

Aaron himself may be loyal, but his subordinates may not think so. Aaron himself may be willing to accept his orders, but his subordinates may not be willing!

Armed with a sharp weapon, the murderous intention arises.

It has been several years since I personally went to the battlefield, and the image of the "Iron Princess" has gradually become thinner. In other words, the royal family of Obeszil still has the remaining power, and the soldiers still maintain respect for me for the time being.

A picture appeared in her mind: the shepherd army and the dragon swarmed up, lifted Aaron up, and lifted him onto the throne when Aaron asked, "Are you going to rebel?"

This picture was so beautiful that she didn't dare to think about it.

Sure enough, all the Purple Dragon Knights were worried, and the old mage Fangda Hester was even hesitant to speak.

"Egil, I have brought a lot of good things this time. Let's go and see what you like." Alice Ser changed the subject and took the initiative to hold Dalonglong's paw enthusiastically.

"Ah? Are you also giving me good things as a tribute?" Egil's eyes were indeed bright: "I am just wanting to see what treasures Obeszil has. Can they be compared with the collection at Baldur's Gate?"

…………

Duke Bilgard didn't know how he returned to Tifanton.

The only thing he knew was that after jumping off the mountain with the help of acceleration, he finally had time to release the teleportation magic.

His mind was buzzing all the time, and when he woke up, he was already in the underground secret room of Tifanton.

In front of Bilgard, on the altar dedicated to the snake god Myershok, the two original snake-men were dancing, loudly chanting the name of the snake god Seth, calling out the name of Seth for help, and their prayers were loud. It rises high into the dark sky and reaches the bottomless abyss filled with darkness, depth, and fantasy.

There is a being that responds to them.

A series of thunderous bombings fell from the sky, and in front of him, the altar cracked.

A huge shadow filled the gap, and the sound of wings filled the eardrums, which was frightening. Bilgard opened his mouth in disbelief, still unable to believe his eyes.

A Krurich. One of the most powerful demon lords in the Abyss.

Why? Why did this being respond to his call?

Damn it, anyone who dares to summon such a demon is either extremely confident or desperate!

Which one do you consider yourself?

Krurich, a super-giant alien creature, and a tanar'ri demon. He has served the greatest abyss lords as a general for a long time. He is a more powerful being than the ordinary Balor Balrog. Any Krurich It is an out-and-out high-level legendary strength.

"You shouldn't have summoned me, innocent mortal." The demon chopped off the two original snake-men with one axe: "Do you know the price for letting me appear?"

"No matter what the cost, I have no choice now!" Duke Bilgard suddenly realized that it was indeed time to make a desperate move: "Devil, make your price!"

Krurich was stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly.

Interesting, so interesting!

A mortal actually lets a demon from the bottomless abyss set a price at will?
