Crown of Chaos

In October 1365 of the Valley Calendar, sunset leads to the north, a semi-greystone fortress.

The semi-graystone fortress is located due north of the Sunset Territory. The fortress is built on a gray cliff. This is the outpost of Tifanton, responsible for monitoring the movements in the south.

Since Bilgard claimed to be Duke, he has arranged a troop here. There are not many people, but they are enough to monitor the situation in the Kingdom of Purple Dragon.

Simonis, the guard chief appointed by Duke Birgaard, discovered the change in the situation early this morning.

An army appears in the south! Lots and lots of troops!

Just opposite the semi-greystone fortress, at a place called Elf Hill, the purple dragon flag of Cormyr and the royal family flag of Obeszil are flying. This means that after five years, the regent daughter of Cormyr will... Finally went out in person!

Surrounding the purple dragon flag are hundreds of flags, among which the flag of Countess Milman-Laure of Arabel's lady lord and the golden flag of Aaron Salian's sunset collar are the most conspicuous. Circle the flags of other nobles. Many of the flags are family crests that the scouts don't recognize at all.

Must report immediately!

Report to Duke Bilgard immediately!

That afternoon, Duke Bilgard hurriedly led his personal guards and a group of blood gnoll warriors to the semi-greystone fortress.

Bilgard's appearance was not conspicuous, even though he was wearing an extremely luxurious purple silk robe, with eight gold chains, gemstone chains, enamel chains and diamond chains hanging on his chest in sequence, and hanging down to his belly in rows. Bilgard still doesn't look like a nobleman, he looks more like a super nouveau riche.

He is short in height, has a very thin body, has a short hair, one eye is covered by a black eye patch, and his cheeks are deeply sunken with thick circles, which always gives people a sleepy feeling.

A ring of mustache surrounds Bilgard's very thin lips, making his appearance even more acrimonious. Standing next to him is Caudick, the gnoll leader who once fought against the Arabel Restoration Army in the Battle of Arabelle. .

Since Tujin's death, the orc army has dispersed. The gnoll leader Caudik originally wanted to flee to the Rocklands, but Yeenoghu, the gnoll god, guided him to Tiffanydon.

Wow~Wow~Wow~ Facing the army in front of him, Duke Billgard held a telescope in one hand. His fingers were covered with rings, and some even had more than one on them. Seeing the scenery in front of him, Bill The Duke of Gard was not surprised at all. He identified the flags across the river with interest.

The Passy family, the ancestor is William de Passy, ​​who was canonized as a baron during the Pirate King's Rebellion, but later lost his fiefdom and lived on loans.

The Mayfair-Howard family, descendants of the famous knight Sir Black Rose...Didn't this family switch to making coffins? Why are they also going to the battlefield this time?

Montague, didn't I remember that Thor Breeze has passed away? Now here is little Thor Breeze? Oh my God, the mark of Marat. Little Thor Breeze knew that the tip of the spear should be pointed. Which end?

That flag is Seymour...

The Clifford family is a group of pitiful people. The former duke family was reduced to the title of baron. Who made them worse than the previous generation? It was only because the old lord knelt down to Assan IV before his death that he could retain an official position purchased by the palace. .”

Duke Bilgaard commented on Cormyr's family heraldry banners one by one. The sinister owlbear who believed in the snake god Mershok soon showed a disdainful expression: It's just an outing.

Arabelle's army and the Sunset Territory's army don't look like they are here for an outing, Duke. The gnoll leader Caudick was not so optimistic. He squinted his eyes: Benshaba's black bones are up here. Last time we That devil I met! I don’t want to see him again!”

It doesn't matter. Duke Bilgard shook his head with a smile: Don't panic, dear Caudick, of course we have a way to deal with the enemy in front of us.

That's fine. As long as this battle makes Cormyr realize the strength of me, Birgard, and then I give in a little, I think Alice Serre will be very willing to let me officially become the Duke of Tiffanyton. Bilgard took out a red apple, the orthodox red apple from Wanxing Town, and took a bite.

At this moment, there was a bang~ sound in the camp across the river, as loud as thunder.

The other side fired artillery? So far away? The Jackal leader Caudick said harshly: Mara's mark, the other side must not have thought that we are all here, leave the head of the other side's vanguard commander to me, yeah Nogu is hungry!”

It's nothing more than a salute to build momentum. Duke Bilgard said disdainfully: I didn't see the banner of the Purple Dragon Knights. Obviously the Purple Dragon Knights of Obeschier haven't arrived yet. I...

Wait! Wait! Caudick screamed and pointed at the sky: What is that?!!!

Duke Bilgard raised his head blankly.

He saw a ball of fire. A rising fireball was drawing a perfect parabola in the air and sliding down towards the semi-greystone fortress. Its long wake reminded Duke Bilgard of a comet.

Bilgard was a mage. With his touch on the magic network, he immediately felt a destructive explosive energy flow falling along the sky. The destructive power contained in it was like a wild beast devouring the parabola passing by without restraint. Everything, the terrifying magical energy will fall on the semi-graystone fortress in the blink of an eye, creating a big explosion that will shake the mountains!

Hidden!!! Bilgard only had time to scream and signal his personal guards, but the energy gathered caused him to lose hearing in both ears, buzzing and roaring, and he could no longer hear any sound.

With the sound of ringing in the ears, the fire wave of chaotic energy reached the gate and walls of the gray stone fortress. The torrent of the explosion sucked them up, and then bounced back, becoming faster.

The buildings around Bilgard collapsed one after another, and the jackals screamed one after another. Caudick shouted instructions that no one heard, and was immediately engulfed by the wave of fire.

Another huge shock caused the structure of the fortress behind it to tremble violently. The dome collapsed suddenly and turned into a complete pile of rubble. Thick fog rose into the sky, followed by smoke and dust falling all over the sky!

Duke Bilgard immediately activated his magic equipment without hesitation. He witnessed the explosion instantly engulfing one of his five-ring primary protection magics and destroying his secondary protection magics one by one. The blazing fire Lang destroyed the protective formations one by one, and seven of the dozens of rings on his hands collapsed in a row!

No, it still can’t be stopped!

Acceleration!

Seizing this opportunity to cast an acceleration spell on himself, Duke Bilgard ran desperately through the ruins. He jumped out of the colonnade and the wall. He looked behind him.

This sight made Billgard scared to death!

There's a ball of fire, there's a ball of fire chasing him! It was originally going to land on a tower, but it seemed that it found the Duke himself. The fireball made a circle along the tower and flew towards Bilgard!

Huge waves were coming.

What the hell is this? What the hell is this? !

An idea was fluttering anxiously in Duke Bilgard's subconscious.

Where did the opponent launch the attack from? How is it possible for a fireball to turn a corner? Is it a delayed explosion fireball? But I didn’t see the caster!

He doesn't even know where the enemies are!

With no other choice, Bilgard seized the last moment and released a death-prevention spell on himself.

Fortunately, the Duke himself is always ready with all kinds of magic.

The moment he successfully released it towards himself, the devouring fire wave surged down around him, causing him to lose his balance.

Here, the bright red flames of chaos engulfed Bilgard, and he crashed headlong into the collapsed half-greystone castle.

The entire fortress was filled with light, dazzling and pulsing with a dizzying whiteness.

Rock fragments shot out in all directions from the ruins of the fortress, and an unparalleled explosion came. The burning fortress was as brilliant as the sun on the surface world.

At the last moment, Bilgard completed his spell, and the pain burned his body, a brief and severe pain that he had never felt before. The anti-death spell saved his life at the most critical moment.

He rolled down the cliff.

…………

Across the river, Elf Hills.

There was silence in the camp, and everyone's eyes were on the giant cannon at the gate of the camp - the Chaos Hell Cannon.

This shot made everyone hold their breath and open their mouths.

But Aaron was very calm. He put his hands behind his back and looked calm. His expression was very relaxed, except for a slight sweat overflowing from his forehead, and the shirt inside his armor was already soaked with sweat.

It seemed like there was too much energy injected into it.

Aaron looked at the barrel of the Chaos Hell Cannon that was burning red to white, feeling a little scared.

This is his first time to fire a cannon. He has no experience and has no idea how much energy should be injected. The Chaos Hell Cannon is endlessly greedy for more. It keeps howling, asking Aaron to do more, and more. Order, how can this amount be enough?

Aaron then doubled the injection until more than 70% of the yugoloth energy he had collected from that encounter was injected. The Chaos Hell Cannon suddenly refused to continue injecting it. It roared: Fuck you! !”

Then there was an explosion like just now.

It is indeed too much energy.

Just when Aaron was thinking about being careful next time and not blowing up himself, he didn't know that he was turning his back on all the soldiers in the Elf Hill Camp, the entire Susar nobles, and Arabelle's army. How shocking it is to be speechless.

The collapsed fortress in the distance, the peak that was cut in half by the explosion, the billowing smoke and the blinding white light all shrouded Aaron's back in a mysterious halo, giving people a deep sense of oppression.

Is this Aaron Salian?

How far has he evolved?

What's hidden inside Sunset Collar?

Nobody knows.

What, no one praises me?

Seeing that there was no movement behind him for a long time, Aaron ordered his troops: Attack!

His Excellency the Viscount gave an order, and the Ninth Shepherd Legion received the order. Orc Doherty was the first to rush out. Then, more than a thousand Chaos Warriors in full plate armor waded directly across the river and rushed towards the collapsed semi-orc. Greystone Fortress!

What?

The nobles of Susar were stunned for the second time.

Hey, Her Royal Highness and the main force of the Purple Dragon Knights haven't arrived yet!

Dude, are you serious?
