Talos, the king of Titalia, is a lizardman, who is now sticking out his tongue and wandering around the study.

The original good situation was immediately reversed under two consecutive bad news. Deka, who originally thought he could go down, had to suspend his offensive due to the plague. After the main force left, the backyard caught fire again, tens of thousands of prisoners of slaves rioted, and the fortress of the good mine was surrounded.

"Alas, Tetalia's national strength is still too weak. If it resists aggression, it can still rely on its determination to defend its country and the swamp terrain to compete with the strong enemy. Once it is fought, various problems will arise."

Talos rubbed his temples and asked the attendant nearby, "Can the fortress of the good mines be kept for three days? In just three days, West's main force can withdraw."

The close attendant shook his head and said, "The other party has a giant white elephant that is as high as ten meters high. It is extremely powerful and invulnerable to swords and guns. It is precisely because of this white elephant that all our mining areas were broken by a single wave. Although the fortress of the good mines is strong, the other party has this white elephant that is enough to offset the defensive advantage of our army. The enemy has more than 20,000 people, and it is said that there is also a very powerful mage. Our army has only 2,000 regular troops, so I am afraid it can't be stopped."

Talos sighed. Of course he understood these principles, but he just confirmed them again. He asked again: "What advice do you have?"

This question is equivalent to Di Renjie asking: "What do you think, Yuan Fang?" In fact, he already had an idea in his mind, but he just hoped someone could tell him it.

The closest servant could only say: "The fortress of good mines is absolutely not to be lost. There are most of our craftsmen there, and there are tens of thousands of strong slaves and countless weapons and equipment in the city. Once the rebellious slaves seize the good mines, they will be able to arm themselves, enough to fight head-on with our main army. Therefore, we must hold them back no matter what. After our main army returns to the rescue, we will annihilate them at the city.

"In fact, the more than 20,000 rebel slaves did not have much combat power. The most terrifying thing about the enemy was the giant elephant and a team of elite dragon beasts. They must have powerful weapons that can break the heavy armor to reinforce."

It is hard for the close attendant to be a close servant. What he says must be of a certain level and cannot be too specific. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, he will take the blame. He can only say some seemingly reasonable nonsense.

The idea of ​​the close attendant was in line with Talos's idea, so the king nodded and said, "Very good! Pass the order down. Let Spark lead the 5,000 royal city guards to set off overnight. Remember to bring the magic crossbows at the top of the royal city."

The nearby attendant reminded: "But transport the magic crossbow over there, what should I do if the defense of the royal city?"

Talos said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? Can the enemy still fly over? Those who can fly are light armor units. My elite palace guards will teach them a lesson with bows and arrows. Okay, that's it. Go and pass the order!"

The adjutant bowed and left the study.

Soon, the elite royal city guards left the city overnight and rushed to the good mines. Several crossbows chariots shining with magical glory in their formation were particularly conspicuous at night.

On the road leading to the good mines outside the royal city, three figures were covered by shadows and watched the passing Titali from afar.

"Haha, this is what you said about luring the tiger away from the mountain. These stupid lizards were indeed fooled. The magical crossbow that could threaten us has been dismantled and packaged. As long as I transform now, I can burn all these things with a single breath." Onyxia's voice sounded.

"No hurry, our target is Talos. What should I do if I deal with the magical crossbow here and let that old guy run away? In addition, don't take it lightly, maybe in the city," Xiang Ningxuan dissuaded.

"Well! OK, they're lucky. Let's go and see what this palace in Titalia looks like."

The walls of the royal city could not stop Onyxia, Xiang Ningxuan and Emolith. After transferring the five thousand imperial guards, the outer guards were also full of loopholes. The three of them easily climbed over the city wall and entered the inner city.

"This, is this the palace of Titalia?" Onyxia pointed to a mottled and dilapidated complex and uncertain authenticity.

The rough exterior walls seem to be piled up randomly with stones, without any decorations on them, and some unimportant buildings around them are covered with thatch. At the suspected main entrance, a gate built with logs was hung with bones of various beasts as decorations.

Xiang Ningxuan grinned: "Based on the geographical location of this building in the center of the city and its characteristics that are taller than other buildings, I concluded that this is the Royal Palace of Titalia."

Onyxia said disdainfully: "Hmph! He's so poor. Even the palace is so broken. Maybe after we catch Talos, we can build him a prison that is more luxurious than this palace."

"We don't know where Talos lives. Moreover, there may be secret passages for escape in the palace, and now it may not be possible to catch him. But Talos will summon important officials to discuss state affairs in the main hall every morning, and that is the best opportunity for us to take action."

———

Although it is winter, the weather is very good, with blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine. The temperature here is not low, and there will be no low temperatures that make lizard people uncomfortable.

But Talos tossed and turned all night and did not sleep well, and was awakened by nightmare several times. Therefore, when he woke up in the morning, he still looked listless and drowsy.

He still remembers a dream in which his palace was burned and he himself was caught by an evil dragon. Talos shook his head and said intimately, "With my elite guards, a mere dragon, what can I do to me when I come?"

Although the royal city guards were transferred away, there were still two thousand guards guarding the royal palace. These were the most elite soldiers in the country and were enough to protect the safety of the royal palace.

"Your Majesty, are you taking a day off today?" asked the nearby attendant.

Talos shook his head and said, "No! The state is difficult, so I cannot relax one day. Let me tell the ministers that I will discuss matters in the main hall on time today."

At eight o'clock in the morning, ministers living in various parts of the royal city arrived at the palace hall one after another. The majestic guard of honor lined up in the palace in an orderly manner.

Talos, the king of Titalia, in a gorgeous costume, set off from the bedroom and headed to the main hall under the escort of a group of close servants, preparing to hold a daily regular meeting.

A dark cloud suddenly appeared in the clear sky, and the nearby servants and guards around him immediately became panicked.

"What a panic? It's just a dark cloud, you're so panic, what a moral!" Talos rebuked.

The close servant who wanted to praise the king's calmness swallowed the words. He looked bad and didn't see clearly what was in the sky! He could only remind him: "Your Majesty, that's an adult black dragon!"

Talos stared at the faint old eyes and then saw clearly that it was indeed not a dark cloud, but a giant dragon.

"Quick! Hurry! Take me out of here." (To be continued)
