Chapter 18 Folklore

Because of this, the battle. After that, Serey and the Magic Empire had a good relationship. These Serey soldiers who had participated in this battle worshiped the Magic Empire. When people asked about their first impression of the Magic Empire, what they described was not the magical magic, nor the beautiful scenery of the Empire.

In fact, whether it is a soldier or an officer, no matter where they are, the answers to this question are basically the same.

Hum, very big.

The steel body standing on eight giant steel feet is even taller than the Stone Fortress itself. When facing this, the monsters suddenly appeared, not only the soldiers on Sere were stunned, but even the Laria defenders of the Stone Fortress were also stunned. The gods are above! They are just a group of soldiers! When have you ever seen such a terrible monster?!

With the appearance of this steel monster, the army that was originally confronting both sides fell silent unexpectedly. They all focused all their attention on this terrible steel giant. Even the commander of the Sere Kingdom was not so sure now. The reinforcements referred to in the order were this weird guy. Although he wanted to contact the other party immediately, the commander knew that this was impossible when he looked at the trembling soldiers around him. In addition, he really didn't know how to contact the other party. Now the commander of Sere only hoped that this sudden appearance was indeed his reinforcements, or that it did know which side was the object of help.

The magic beam at the top of the steel fortress swept back and forth between the Serey Fortress and the army of the Sere Kingdom, as if confirming who was its enemy. Then, with the huge roar and slight tremor, the steel fortress moved its body with the help of eight giant feet, facing the Serey Fortress in front of her that was built on the hillside.

The enemy and we have separated.

When Commander Sere's heart finally let go, the soldiers of Laria had already reacted. Soon, the crossbow arrows and catapults placed on the city wall began to attack the terrifying monster, and rockets flew into the sky and shot towards the huge target in front of them. Although in terms of quality, they were obviously not much better than the steel fortress in front of them. However, the other party was obviously trying to use the method of ants to bite the elephant to kill the enemy in front of them.

The steel fortress is definitely thicker than the elephant skin, but it is hard to say whether these attacks can play the role of an ant.

Feeling the attack, the magic barrier that was already ready immediately surrounded the entire steel fortress. As the translucent protective cover appeared out of thin air, the stones and crossbow arrows that had originally shot at the steel fortress deviated from their correct heads and drew strange curves and fell down.

Although it encountered a fierce attack that could be considered a threat, the steel fortress had no intention of reacting at all. It just stood there quietly, and at the same time shining the rock fortress in front of it with a magic beam. Apart from that, it did not seem to be planning to do anything else, but to stand until dark.

Could it be that these reinforcements are just here to light up their own and others?

Just after Commander Serey's mind, and planned to summon the army to start fighting, he found that the steel fortress had changed for the first time. The heavy steel armor slowly flipped upwards, and with the turn of the armor, huge, dark cylinders appeared in it. Then, the power of magic and lightning light washed over the body of the strange cylinder again, causing it to rotate and extend and grow. The metal plates that were originally tightened together stretched out under the power of magic, like buds that were about to bloom, waiting to show the mystery and beauty they contained to the world.

Although no one on both sides of the battle knew what this was, human instincts still made them feel the danger. The attack of Laria's side became more and more fierce, just like the final resistance of a dying struggler before his death. Sere's commander instinctively ordered his army to begin retreating to avoid encountering those threats that were likely to affect. Although he did not know what the threat was.

However, it turns out that Commander Sere made the choice completely correct.

The brighter beams shot out from the cannon barrel and hit the Stone Fortress with no fault. The hard city walls could not resist at all in the face of the devastating power of magic. They were easily penetrated by powerful energy. Then, flashes and explosions came out from the inside of the Stone Fortress. At that moment, the entire fortress bulged like a fat man who suddenly had a big belly. Then, the terrible outbreak exceeded the limit that the fortress could bear.

For the soldiers of Sere, they would never forget the scene at the moment. The extremely hard and tricky fortress collapsed completely like unbuilt building blocks under the opponent's attack. The rolling dust and scattered stones buried the originally strong fortress. Then, the mountain that could not be supported also collapsed, and the huge rocks rolled down, erasing the last artificial traces here.

The Kingdom of Serei took a whole month to not be able to capture the fortress, and it no longer existed in less than ten minutes.

The battle is over soon.

Looking at the terrifying steel monster in front of him and the mountainside where there had completely disappeared, leaving only a big pit, Commander Serey felt that his hands could no longer hold his weapon. As a professional soldier, he naturally understood what this meant. If the army on his side was shot by that terrible and weird thing, then even the person who could run back to report the message might not be able to stay. As if he was confirming Commander Serey's idea, the steel monster started to act again. Its eight giant claws firmly grasped the ground. Then, the entire steel fortress's body flexibly turned 180 degrees and looked at Serey's army correctly.

Do they want it?

The sudden claws made all the soldiers and officers who came back from the shock and came to the storm and fell into great fear and panic. They didn't even have the courage to ride on horseback to escape. They just stood there blankly, staring at the black muzzle tightly, as if death had already come to them with a sickle, and they didn't even have the strength to resist.

Fortunately, the black hole's muzzle quickly contracted and then was covered again by heavy, shiny magic armor.

"Umbrella...one..."

It was not until this time that the commander of Serey breathed a long sigh. The brave man who followed his father up the mountain to hunt wild beasts at the age of five felt the fear of death so personally. If it was just death, it would be okay. But what impressed him was the despair that could not even resist in the face of death. At least when fighting against wild beasts and humans, even if he was at a disadvantage, he could still use his own strength to conquer and resist. But when even this power became weak and powerless, what was left to him?

However, Commander Serey shook his head and threw the messy things behind his head. He looked around and then gave an order.

"Shuoyi, second, third team comes with me, the rest are on standby! And there are also."

Speaking of this, the commander stopped. He originally planned to go to the steel monster to invite the other party, but after thinking about it, it was more appropriate to come forward in person. I hope someone is really manipulating that place, not a weird and terrifying monster,"

"Forget it, the first team will come with me."

Eventually, Commander Sere changed his orders.

When he approached the steel fortress with dozens of elite soldiers behind him, the eight-legged spider had already been transformed into the fortress body. So when Commander Sere came to the front of the steel fortress and looked at the tall fortress in front of him and the symbol of the magic empire floating on it, the stout man was still shocked.

Although from the appearance, the structure here is different from that of an ordinary fortress, even Commander Sere did not expect that this strange thing would be so abnormal. He and the soldiers circled around this thing for two or three times, but he was helplessly discovered that not only did there be no doors, but even windows here, the entire building seemed to be cast from the inside to the outside. This made everyone a little depressed, but in addition to being depressed, they also sighed a little.

Even the Five-Nation Alliance can't make such a big deal, but the Magic Empire can be created. The reputation of this Magic Kingdom is really not a pity.

However, when Commander Serey led his soldiers to walk around the entire building and hesitated to see if he wanted to open his mouth and shout the door directly, he saw a figure.

"Hello, Warriors of Sere."

Yielli lifted her skirt and performed a formal maid etiquette to everyone. Although in terms of her nature, this formal etiquette was not suitable for the character of the little maid, before taking it, what she needed to consider the most was Soshiat's whip...

"Hello, beautiful lady."

Although they couldn't tell what the girl in front of them came from, everyone hurriedly dismounted and responded with a military etiquette to the girl in front of them.

"I am the commander of the First Legion of King Serey. On behalf of the Kingdom of Serey, I express my loyal thanks to you, and,"

Speaking of this, Commander Sere was a little speechless. After all, he was just a soldier. Such a verbal matter was still a little difficult for him. Just as Commander Sere was racking his brains and thinking about how to show respect to these guests at the moment, Iare smiled softly.

"It's a bit too rude to talk here. Please come with me."

As he said that, Yieler turned around and stretched out his right hand forward. Then everyone was surprised to see that a steel gate suddenly slid open on the wall that was supposed to be without any gaps. Then Yieler turned around and made an invitation gesture to everyone.

This is obviously an invitation that cannot be rejected.

Under the leadership of the maid, everyone walked into this steel fortress, which also brought them greater shock.

According to Commander Sere, no matter how defense is, such a building has certainly not very breathable and has an external observation level. He did not see a breathable hole, nor did he see observation and lookout. After all, Sere people's life is still at a very low level. In such a closed building with poor lighting, it is obvious that a lot of candles and lights are needed, and these waste gases will also be a big problem.

But after entering here, Commander Sere found that what he thought of did not constitute any problem at all.

Although the entire building was indeed airtight, the people who walked into it did not feel the sign of turbidity and chest tightness. On the contrary, the air inside the building was very fresh, even better than the air outside. Serei took a few deep breaths and even felt that the inside seemed to be filled with the fragrance of grass, which immediately made his mind wake up. The temperature inside was also comfortable and comfortable, even making these Serei feel that the leather armor they were wearing was too thick. As for the issue of light, it was not a problem. When they walked into the corridor, the magic light had already pointed out the way for them, as clear as daytime.

Although I was very shocked and surprised by this, the Serei people followed the maid. After passing through thick steel gates and strange guards, especially those alien creatures that looked terrible, Commander Serei dared to swear to all the gods in the world that he had never seen such a dangerous thing. They finally arrived. The hall was much more spacious than other places, and this was the central area of ​​the entire steel fortress.

If the Serei people were still curious about how this steel fortress was being treated, then when they looked at the clear image in the illusion ahead of them that even the self-published Tingzhou Xiaodaozi could see clearly, there was no doubt deep in their hearts.

And at this moment, Iare also stopped.

"Master, I have brought them as you ordered."

"very good."

A young man's voice rang out.

It was not until then that the Serei people saw clearly the person they were facing. It was a young man. Although he seemed not old, the man sitting there gave people an unusual sense of majesty. His dark eyes seemed to be able to see through everything and stared at the soldiers in front of him, showing a kind smile that was very similar to those of the big men in the Serei Kingdom.

"Hello, first time meeting, brave Serei people."

Li Lin nodded to everyone.

"To be honest, when I learned about this from Princess Shirley, I thought I might have been out of reach, but now it seems that I still arrived in time?"

"Thank you for your help, respected Mr. Mage."

Although he still couldn't figure out the details of the young man in front of him, Commander Serei still responded hurriedly.

"On behalf of the Kingdom of Sere, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you. Without your assistance, it would be impossible to conquer this fortress by our own efforts.



It seems that on the way here, the commander was able to organize lines from his head that were more in line with the scene.

"You're welcome, this is what we should do for Mangma."

Li Lin obviously did not mean to express his identity to the other party. He just waved his hand slightly in response.

"I think, as a commander, you should know the agreement between me and your country."

"Of course, respectful wizard." Considering that he was surrounded by his confidants, Commander Sere was not so restrictive when speaking.

"I've learned everything from the king, of course, that's all,"

Speaking of this, he stopped and thought for a while, as if he was considering how to say it better.

"Please rest assured that the goal of our Kingdom of Sere is only the fertile land on the plains of the Laria region, and we will not invade your territory."

What a joke? When you see such a monster, who has the courage to invade the Magic Empire? Even the most elite troops in the entire Serei Kingdom may not be able to stand this monster!

Next, the conversation between the two sides became much more harmonious. Li Lin did not tell his identity, but chatted with Serei's commander. After that, he invited these Serei soldiers to stay for dinner. Although he was very worried about the soldiers outside, Serei still accepted Li Lin's invitation to attend the dinner.

And it was not until this time that the topic had just begun.

"Sir, please forgive me for my rudeness first."

While Commander Sere and his subordinates were shocked by the dishes on the table that looked so rich that they looked luxurious, Li Lin also spoke.

"You also know that our magic empire has just reappeared on this continent. To be honest, we don't have a deep understanding of your country. If you have time, can you tell us about your country's history and culture? I have always been very interested in these."

Since the master made such a request, Commander Sere naturally could not refuse. So he began to tell Li Lin about Sere's founding history and their cultural development.

According to "Legend", of course, just "Legend", the founder of the Kingdom of Sere was a great warrior. When he mentioned this in order to avoid the persecution of the evil Five-Nation Alliance, Li Lin couldn't help but think of the so-called "evil magic empire" and came to the wilderness of the northern land. Of course, ordinary humans could not live in this place. The warrior also encountered these difficulties, but soon, he met a woman there, who saved the life of the great warrior.

The next story is more orthodox. After that, the soldiers also discovered many refugees who came here to escape the persecution of the "evil Five-Nation Alliance". However, they also faced the cruel environment and life in the North. So, this great warrior gathered these people together to fight against the harsh climate of the North. Then they also found a way to survive here by themselves. However, Commander Sere did not clearly mention what the method was, and Li Lin did not ask much. In the end, the Kingdom of Sere was born.

The whole story sounds like an ordinary legend of adventures by brave men, but Li Lin is obviously more concerned about other things. According to Commander Sere, their country does not believe in gods, but has a unique custom. Every time on the night of the crescent moon, the people would gather in a palace in the Sere Kingdom to pray and make wishes to the statues inside. I heard that the palace was built for the woman who met the great warrior. After the warrior established the Sere Kingdom, he originally planned to marry the woman, but unexpectedly she suddenly died of illness. This made King Sere King extremely sad, and then he built the palace and the statues inside for future generations to admire. Let them remember the fact that the Sere Kingdom was born because of the existence of this woman.

It was very romantic on the surface, but Li Lin discovered the problem.

According to the customs of the Kingdom of Sere, whenever the moon is new, they gather there to pray and worship the statue, which is obviously not meaningless. If this woman is a human being, it is just a part of the romantic legend.
