Chapter 555 A One-Man Team
More than an hour later.
Imperial capital Tamriel.
In the palace garden, Ryan and Menia were walking side by side.
"Ryan, I plan to form a team of multiple guardians."
"The original model was basically one imperial guardian stationed locally, responsible for a province or a region, but in the face of the resurrection of the evil god and the rapid growth of the cult's strength, this method is a bit outdated."
"Once the cult is out in full force, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous for one imperial guardian to handle it."
"My idea is that at least three or more guardians form a team to be responsible for a larger area. For example, a western guardian team can be formed to be responsible for multiple provinces within the western territory of the empire."
Ryan nodded frequently. As the energy tide strengthened, the empire also began to strengthen its response.
As soon as he arrived at the palace, Menia mentioned this issue to him.
"Alas, the number of imperial guardians is still too small at present." Menia sighed and handed a document to Ryan.
"This is a cooperation proposal from the Federation. They hope that we can send seven to ten Imperial Guardians to participate in the exploration of the floating city ruins."
"Seven to ten people?" Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
If it was in peacetime, sending this number of Imperial Guardians to explore the ruins would not be a problem, but it would show the strength of the Empire.
But now the situation is completely different. In the current situation, if we want to maintain the stability of the Empire, the current Imperial Guardians are already stretched to the limit, and it is impossible to send so many people.
"Well, I calculated that the Empire can send a maximum of four Guardians. Ryan, do you think that's enough?" Menia looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes and said.
In fact, even if the Empire wants to extract three Guardians at present, it is already very reluctant. However, because it is Ryan who is going, Menia still wants to send as many people as possible to go together.
Maybe others don't know, but Menia knows very well that the ancient floating city with evil demons is no less dangerous than the last battle of the imperial capital.
Hearing Menia's words, Ryan frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.
After thinking for a moment, Ryan said, "No, I'll go alone."
"You alone?" Menia's eyes widened in surprise.
"Ryan, are you serious?"
"Yeah."
"But even if you signed a contract with Metheus, the Wings of Madness, it's too much for one person..."
"Menia, my strength is stronger than you expected, perhaps even stronger, so you don't have to worry about my safety." Ryan smiled slightly, and at the same time, released the mental power that had been slightly concealed.
A surge of deep mental power fluctuations immediately rose from Ryan, but this fluctuation was fleeting.
Ryan concealed it again.
But in just this moment, Menia sensed Ryan's true strength.
Her beautiful eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, and her luxurious temperament and shocked expression at the moment gave people a rare sense of contrast.
"Ryan, you... you have reached the peak of the dawn?" If she hadn't integrated Ryan's consciousness, Menia felt that she would definitely suspect that Ryan was possessed by the evil god.
This speed of strength improvement is too fast, no, it should be said to be terrible!
"Well, so, Menia, don't worry."
Just now, Ryan thought about it and understood that with his strength at this level, even 'Earth Pulse' Reginald or Elder Ivan of the Imperial Family could not provide him with much help. The only ones who
can be called his helpers must be 'Red Dragon King' Straz, or the Imperial Guardian Wokmas, who is also at the peak of the dawn.
But these two are the top combat forces of the empire. Once they leave the empire, the consequences will be serious.
Ryan neither wants to nor will he consider it.
The last point is that Ryan considers that he plans to be promoted in the ruins of the floating city this time. If his teammates are not familiar enough, it is better not to go.
"Okay, in this case, let's follow your opinion." Menia thought about it and nodded.
"Then when do you plan to leave?"
"I plan to go back to the mansion and leave. I will go directly to the Federation Reserlo Canyon."
"Okay, I will contact the Federation."
The next morning.
Federal Antu Hall.
A high-level emergency meeting was being held in the magnificent parliament building.
More than a dozen dignified federal generals were only sitting at the back half of the long table, while the seats at the top were all powerful federal parliamentarians. Deputy Speaker Bertrand was only sitting on the right. The pipe-smoking old man at the main seat of the long table was none other than Federal Speaker Lawson Powell.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard and the rank of lieutenant general was reporting in a loud voice:
"On the afternoon of September 28th in the federal calendar, a resurrected giant beast appeared on the west coast of the federation. It was over 80 meters tall and had jagged horns on its head, similar to a swordfish. The military named it the Pointed Monster. It attacked Westin City, causing more than a thousand casualties."
"On the evening of September 28th in the federal calendar, a resurrected giant beast appeared in the central part of the federation. It was shaped like a giant frog, had a poison sac in its chin, and had a petal-shaped tongue that could spit out a large amount of venom. It attacked Auberdine, causing more than two thousand casualties."
"."
"Generals, the situation is very serious now, because of that." Federal Speaker Lawson Powell, who was holding a pipe, suddenly got stuck.
"Energy tide." Deputy Speaker Bertrand immediately reminded softly.
"Yes, the energy tide. As the fluctuation of the energy tide increases, we predict that the number and frequency of giant beasts reviving in the Federation will increase again."
As soon as Speaker Lawson finished speaking, more than a dozen senior federal generals changed their expressions and whispered to each other.
"Will this frequency continue to increase?"
"Relying on the strength of the army alone is already considered to be operating at full capacity."
"Even the latest giant airships and artillery can hardly cause fatal damage to the behemoth. The behemoth in Westin City was repelled, and it was ultimately relying on the strong men of the Federation, but last time, many strong men of the Federation were transferred away."
"Yes, I heard that there are important sites that need to be explored, but the problem is that the current situation is so turbulent, shouldn't we stabilize it first?"
"Everyone, I want to hear your opinions at this meeting, instead of relying entirely on the strong men of the Federation." Speaker Lawson knocked on the table and said unhappily.
Hearing this, the meeting site suddenly fell silent, but this made Lawson's face even uglier. He only heard him say in a deep voice: "With so many people, is there no way out?"
"Not really, if there are enough Ajax golems, it can be done. The giant frog monster in Oberding City was repelled by three Ajax golems and a formation of armed airships." said a general.
"Is it the super giant golem invented by the Federal Mechanical Research Institute based on ancient goblin technology?" Speaker Lawson thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I think making golems that are easier to control may be the chance to win the future."
"However, I heard that the director of the institute, His Majesty Hiram, was also assigned to explore the site, and the production progress of the Ajax Golem has slowed down further." A member of the parliament responsible for logistics coordination said.
"I suggest that we slow down the exploration of the site first and stabilize the situation?"
"The question is, can it be stabilized? It is better to have a short pain than a long pain. If we can get technological innovation from the site, I think the short-term pain is worth enduring."
"Who can guarantee that there will be gains from exploring the site?"
For a while, the 'long-term faction' and the 'short-term faction' each held their own opinions. Relatively speaking, the number of people who supported it was still the majority who suggested that the strong men of the Federation should be assigned to defend.
At this time, a male attendant walked in quickly, came to the side of Speaker Lawson, and whispered quickly.
This scene made the scene quiet down.
The male attendant was the secretary of Speaker Lawson. He came in during the meeting. He must have important news.
"What! One person?" Speaker Lawson whispered after hearing this.
One person?
What one person?
The senior officials of the Federation present were also confused.
"Although the Dragun Empire agreed to the proposal of joint exploration, it only sent one imperial guardian." Speaker Lawson's face was solemn and he told the whole audience the news.
This immediately caused the meeting room to explode, like cold water poured on boiling oil.
"This is too disrespectful! No, this is contempt!"
"Is this a cooperative attitude?"
"I suggest contacting the Dragun Empire again and asking them to carefully consider the diplomatic friendship between the two countries!" A heavyweight congressman in the upper position said angrily.
"Wait, can I ask which guardian the empire sent?" The beautiful congresswoman Trena suddenly thought of something and asked the secretary of the Speaker.
"Senator Trena, the guardian sent by the Empire is His Majesty Ryan." The male attendant bowed slightly and said.
"Is it His Majesty Ryan? If it is him, Mr. Speaker, perhaps we don't need to worry so much." Trena briefly described the situation of Ryan.
"Senator Trena, no matter who it is, one person is really too disrespectful of this cooperation!"
"We require seven to ten Imperial Dragon Knights. Even if we reduce it, five is the minimum. Now there is only one person, which is really..."
"Yes! One person, no matter how strong, has a limit. For this site exploration, we mobilized seven Federation strongmen, and the Empire only sent one? Could it be that one of them is stronger than our seven?"
"Be quiet, everyone. According to the cooperation agreement, both parties distribute the spoils according to the exploration contribution, and the Empire at least sent strongmen. I think we have no loss in this matter."
"As for the exploration period, Senator Trena, please contact His Majesty Tirion. I hope to see the initial results of the joint exploration within half a month." Speaker Lawson made the decision and said.
"Okay, Mr. Speaker." The beautiful woman Trena nodded and said.
Dragun Empire.
The Secret Realm of the Dragon Scale Brotherhood.
"Your Highness? Why are you here?" The ugly Renflier looked at the second prince Everton in front of him with a little surprise.
He always felt that there was something wrong with the other party, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Potion. Any more?" Everton picked up the bottle that was supposed to contain the super evolution potion with a little stiffness and said.
"Ah, Your Highness, did you drink it? This hasn't happened yet."
Suddenly, Renflier couldn't say anything more, because he saw Everton's red and black eyes, and instantly, a strong chill rose from the bottom of his heart. It was
as if a basin of ice water was poured from head to toe, and the whole body was cold.
What kind of eyes are these!
Even a frost wolf that has been hungry for three days in winter would not have such a violent look.
"Yes, yes! No, there's only the last one."
"Give it to me."
"As you command, Your Highness." Renflier walked quickly, but his forehead was already covered with sweat. He naturally noticed the abnormality of the second prince Everton, but he had no way to resist the other party's order.
"Here, a total of five bottles, but you should know the side effects of these potions."
Before he finished speaking, Everton suddenly reached out and picked up a bottle, opened the stopper, and drank it in big gulps.
"Your Highness! This." Renflier trembled all over, watching Everton drink the potion with powerful side effects like drinking water.
The second bottle!
The third bottle!
Everton's body began to deform violently at this moment.
The originally normal skin began to swell with dragon scales, cysts, and even wisps of blood, as if it was about to burst, but soon, wisps of black gas came out of the body, and these cysts and cracks disappeared again.
"Incredible, really incredible"
"It actually blocked the collapse of the body, this black gas." Renflier's eyes bulged out and he muttered.
As the master of the potion that made the mixture, he naturally knew the power and side effects of this super evolution mixture best.
When Everton finished the fifth bottle, the black gas seemed to have reached a strange balance with the efficacy of the mixture.
At the same time.
Ryan rode the black dragon Metes and arrived at the Reserlo Canyon after more than ten hours of flight.
"Your Majesty Ryan, I just received the news that you were coming, and you are here." Hiram welcomed warmly in the cave camp.
"Long time no see, Your Majesty Hiram, congratulations on entering the dawn." Ryan said with a smile.
With his perception, he naturally noticed that Hiram had been promoted to the Dawn Wizard at the first time.
"Haha, Your Majesty Ryan, I have to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find the opportunity to be promoted now." Hiram couldn't help laughing when he heard Ryan's congratulations.
"Hiss~ This is the dragon you contracted, it's so majestic." Hiram then noticed that the black dragon next to him was unusually huge.
"Tsk tsk, a black dragon of the very old dragon level?"
"Yes, eh? Where's His Majesty Tirion?" Ryan looked around and couldn't help wondering.
"They didn't expect you to arrive so soon. His Majesty Tirion and a few others just went to the ruins for routine inspections, and two others went to Zetaia to temporarily help the army deploy defenses."
"Please wait, I'll contact them and come back!"
In Zetaia, a large city on the west coast of the Federation, a huge shadow quickly passed through the city streets.
"Giant beast! It's a giant beast!"
"Run!"
The crowd on the ground immediately became chaotic. Some gentlemen and ladies who had been walking calmly were now panicking like ordinary people.
After all, in front of such a giant beast that was close to a natural disaster, the key was to save their lives, not anything else.
"Hmm? It seems to have frightened the humans below?" The giant beast in the sky was the steel dragon Doric. It lowered its head slightly, looked down, snorted, and muttered to itself.
"Forget it, the master is in front, let's go directly, anyway, we have disturbed him."
"It's not good to keep the master waiting for a long time."
Doric's flying speed was much slower than that of the five-colored dragon. Even if it hurried, it was still a little slower than Ryan.
And it had sensed that its master was in the canyon not far ahead, so it chose to fly directly over Zetaya.
"Attention, all departments. The beast is flying towards the Reserlo Canyon. It is a military restricted area. Please contact the airship formation behind to intercept it immediately!"
"Also, contact the two Your Majesties immediately."
A federal airship following behind Doric issued orders one after another quickly.
