It's still easy to deal with. Since it represents the academic city, it has weaknesses.
Dominic smiled what he thought was a charming smile and said:
"I'm sorry, but Falu is currently in a rather delicate situation. I'm afraid we won't be able to accept a large number of refugees from the Citadel... As you know, we've finally made progress on the front lines against the Imperials, and now is the time to strike back. We can't spare a lot of resources..."
At this moment, Chloe, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"It's none of your business. The front line is maintained by the guerrillas, and the resources for the counterattack were never provided by you. This cannot be your excuse."
"Miss Chloe," Dominic said with a polite smile, "You are obviously very tired, which is why you are being rude."
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired. Even if you set another ambush, I can kill them all without any harm." Chloe said coldly.
"Ambush? I wouldn't resort to such tactics," Dominic smiled. "Oh, could it be that you were really ambushed? Were any of our compatriots from the Citadel injured?"
"No one was hurt," Xingmo chuckled, "because we were the only two visitors."
Are there really only two of them...? Dominic frowned slightly.
The spy said that only two people entered the city. Dominic thought this probably meant that the refugee queue had difficulty moving forward and therefore had no energy left to enter the city.
In the end, there were really only two people visiting?
If so, what are their intentions...?
"I'm warning you," Chloe walked over to the table and slammed her hands on it. "Fallu will take in as many refugees as possible. If you don't, the guerrillas will deal with it. I'm just here to inform you."
"Chloe August, have some respect!" one councillor yelled.
"Oh, oh, come on, don't be so... angry."
Dominic smiled and tried to smooth things over, while staring into Chloe's eyes:
"Miss Chloe, this is not rational at all. The border is so turbulent right now... Look, you were robbed on the way here. This is not a good thing..."
"There were robberies on the way here. If our refugee friends from the Citadel were stationed in the border areas... wouldn't they be easily harassed by bandits?"
"You..." Chloe clenched her fists, "Is this a threat?"
"How could that be? I'm the leader of the New Party, how could I be in league with bandits?"
Dominic nodded with a half-smile, his eyes sharp:
"But...if we need to relocate refugees, I'm afraid Massena is more reliable..."
"If you want us to take in refugees, it's not impossible," Dominic turned his gaze to Xing Mo, "but the price and conditions... I'm afraid they will be different... After all..."
"All right,
No more talk."
Xingmo interrupted Dominic, with a slight smile on her lips.
“I am not here to seek refuge from the New Party.”
Not seeking asylum...? Dominic and the New Party members exchanged glances again, and this time even Dominic couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
These two people from the Citadel... aren't they here to seek asylum for the refugees?
So what are they here for?
Walking into the August Palace and sitting opposite, could it be that they are here to chat and drink tea?
Dominic was suddenly at a loss. He had originally hoped to make a fortune from the refugees in the Academy City. Not only would he have introduced a group of cheap labor, but he would also be able to suppress Chloe's influence at the political level.
If this business had to be done, it had to be done by him, not Chloe.
But now, they are not here to do business at all.
What is that for?
""
Looking at Dominic's slightly confused face, Xingmo smiled faintly.
She stood up, glanced at the faces of Dominic and others, and then said calmly:
"We are here to inform you that the Citadel, represented by the Holy Tree Cult, has formed an alliance with Chloe August."
"Everything she promised us, including providing relief supplies to the Citadel and designating several abandoned settlements on the border of Faro as housing for the Citadel's exiles, requires your notification."
"Also, next time you send someone to cause trouble, remember to send a demigod."
Xing Mo's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, scaring several council members so much that they fell to the ground.
"I'm not interested in opponents who are too weak."
Dominic's body trembled violently. He could feel the spiritual pressure coming towards him, as if his chest was being pressed by a huge rock.
This guy...how could he have such spiritual pressure? Dominic took a deep breath, concentrated his spirit body, and resisted the external pressure.
After all, he was a saint, and he quickly regained consciousness, his face immediately becoming fierce:
"Ms. Shikoti... threatening the leader of the New Party at the August Palace, are you perhaps seeking death?"
"If you have the ability, then give it a try," Xing Mo said indifferently, "Let's establish an understanding of each other as early as possible to avoid meaningless trouble in the future."
"Then you should have a correct understanding of the New Party." Dominic said viciously.
He snapped his fingers, and a tide of soldiers rushed into the reception room and surrounded the round table.
"The new party's chair is stepping on the blood of the old king," Dominic gritted his teeth, "treating us as docile sheep is a misjudgment..."
In the blink of an eye, tensions were rising and the atmosphere froze.
Xing Mo's eyes swept over the soldiers around him, his face still expressionless.
"Miss Chloe, keep your head down for a moment," she whispered.
Is it so exciting? Chloe nodded, then lowered her head obediently.
Just as Xingmo was about to take action, suddenly, the door to the living room was pushed open.
A gorgeously dressed woman rushed in and shouted:
"Dominic! Fire dragon, a fire dragon is coming!"
"The fire dragon has arrived in Massena!"
Chapter 277: White Dove on the Cross (Part 4) -4k- (Double Update in One)
Fire dragon.
On the continent of Vesta, this is the only dragon species that still has large settlements.
They have a clear class stratification and their settlement is located deep in the mountains of Falu, neighbors of the Giant King's Court.
As descendants of the ancient dragon clan, even though today's fire dragons have lost the glory of the dragon civilization in the past, their power cannot be underestimated.
""
When Dominic heard that the fire dragon was flying towards Massena, the indifference on his face disappeared instantly.
"How many?" he asked subconsciously.
"Three, more than half of the advance broom cavalry have been killed," the woman replied, "and they will soon be approaching the city walls."
"Did you ask Judge Long Yan to communicate with them?"
"I tried, but it didn't work. The other party didn't seem to be responding."
""
The battle situation was obviously not favorable. Xingmo saw fear sweeping over the faces of the parliamentarians, and the previous harshness and solemnity disappeared.
Obviously, they knew what the three-headed fire dragon meant.
"I'll deal with you later, stranger," Dominic said, gritting his teeth as he looked at Xingmo. "If Massena is destroyed, your refugees won't have even an inch of ground to stand on!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked around the round table, passed by Xing Mo, and came to the woman:
"Selina, we need to mobilize the Pegasus Knights immediately. Only they can buy time for the Dragon Hunter Cannon."
The woman named Serena heard this and shook her head slightly.
"The Pegasus Knights have already contacted them, and their answer is the same as before..."
"What answer?"
"Knights only serve the true descendants of the August family."
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes focused on Chloe in the hall.
Chloe lowered her head, fiddling with her nails, and muttered:
"Ah, that seems to be the case."
"Chloe! Get those knights airborne and surround Massena!" Dominic shouted. "If the city is destroyed, none of us will win!"
"If you, a piece of crap, hadn't bothered talking, I would have already arranged it!" Chloe scolded.
As he spoke, the wind howled and slapped the stained glass windows of the August Palace.
Xing Mo felt dozens of powerful spiritual forces reacting from the top of his head, each with four strings to
Saint level.
The Pegasus Knights, guards of the Faroese royal family, are said to be warriors who fight on Pegasus and are the lances of the goddess.
Previously, Xingmo had heard that these knights did not join the New Party after the Flower King was executed, but instead chose the Kite Wing Guerrillas as their allegiance.
In a way, this is a continuation of the August family.
"Everyone, listen up! Guard the border town and don't let the fire dragon get close to August Palace!"
Dominic shouted and rushed out of the palace.
Xing Mo and his group followed. Surrounded by soldiers, the three of them walked through the long corridor and arrived at the gate of August Palace.
"call--"
The wind was howling. Although it was noon, there was no sunshine in the sky and it was covered with dark clouds.
At the palace gate, Xing Mo looked up at the sky and saw groups of Pegasus flapping their wings and riding the wind, flying towards the border town.
On the distant horizon, three black spots were approaching, with remnant clouds swirling around them, like an approaching storm.
Fire dragon.
Among dragon species, fire dragons are the most common and largest.
They intensified the fire strings with their roars, and a raging tide of fire rolled up with their breaths.
For human civilization, dragons can be regarded as a kind of natural disaster. If it were not for the protection of the goddess and the decline of dragons, a capital city like Massena, which is close to the dragon habitat, would never have been able to survive.
Now, they're here.
"Roar----"
The roar of a dragon came from the distant sky, and three huge fireballs suddenly expanded on the horizon, dyeing half of the sky a blood-red glow.
A fiery gale swept through the border town, sending out sparks like a tide of fire when it collided with the wall, and the scorching wind swept into the city.
The streets and alleys of Massena were suddenly in chaos. People on the streets fled, trying their best to stay away from the walls and the predators flying from the distant mountains.
Above their heads, the figures of Pegasus knights swept by like a whirlwind, and golden lances appeared in their hands, flashing with starlight.
The showdown begins!
Xingmo raised her hand to block the scorching wind blowing from afar, and looked through her fingers at the flaming horizon.
The Pegasus Knight and the Fire Dragon were like ancient cavalrymen crossing each other on the battlefield. Golden starlight and flames collided, creating a colorful rain of light in the sky.
The fire dragon is huge and has extremely limited maneuverability. Pegasus knights form groups of four or five, throwing golden lances around the fire dragon. The agile Pegasus walks in the air, avoiding the flying flames.
At the top of the city wall, soldiers who had survived the first round of scorching winds pushed huge cannons onto the wall.
Those huge cannons were not loaded with conventional shells, but long spears shaped like anchors.
The dragon hunting cannon is specifically designed to hunt dragon tears. The cannon body will open after piercing the dragon's body, instantly tearing the dragon's chest structure.
Once a dragon's ribcage, where it brews fire, is destroyed, the elemental turbulence can destroy its highly regenerative torso.
"Boom-boom-boom-" The sound of artillery fire exploded in the distance, sweeping across the city and past Xingmo's ears.
It seems that the preparations made by the people of Fallu are sufficient.
She folded her arms across her chest and watched the battle in the distance with a calm expression.
