Chapter 16: The massacre begins

　　 "Excuse me, I don't understand what you mean."
　　 Bella suddenly had a chill behind her, and the female instinct told her that this was not a good omen. "Your goal is too conspicuous for humans—"
　　 "To be precise, we are."
　　 Ai Luo corrected, "Tokamak sent all the staff."
"This……"
　　 Bella almost exclaimed, this is crazy, four dragons followed her back to the town?
　　 Wait, if this kind of explosive news is not spread, it will not only be -
　　 Thinking of this, Bella shuddered slightly.
The town is very close to the valley, even if there are no relics, judging from the trend of adventurers exploring everywhere, the exposure of this valley is only a matter of time... Ai Luo is going to completely pull out this nail and further delay the day of exposure. Coming.
　　 And she can imagine that Ai Luo will definitely let Fakenrich take the responsibility!
　　 Sure enough, this dragon is not a fool. When he used him, how could he not use him?
　　 Bella also had no reason to refuse. Falkenridge and Stasi, as a feud, actually knew each other's situation very well. Although Grand Duke Jon knew the decline of this generation of Falkenrich royal family, Bella also knew that the opponent was not really ready for war.
　　The reason is very simple. There are also several small countries around the Principality of Stasi. Some time ago, Vola and Tadoya empires of the four empires extended an olive branch to Duke Jon at the same time.
Today, the four most powerful camps on the Western Continent are headed by the four empires. All countries on the mainland join or lean toward one of them. Those countries that insist on "neutrality" are either destroyed or nurtured by the four empires. The puppet regime.
　　For example, the Kingdom of Falkenrich is headed by the Haval Empire in name—but given its weak strength, the Haval Empire does not care about its specific movements.
　　 The Duchy of Stasi was originally on the side of the Walla Empire, but before he inherited the dukedom, Grand Duke Jon once wandered around the mainland as an adventurer. During this time, he got acquainted with a high-ranking priestess of the Holy See of Dawn, and then captured the other's heart.
　　 The Tadoa Empire is a peculiar country where theocratic power is higher than the imperial power. As the church that serves the God of Light, the Holy See of Dawn is of course the actual leader of this country. Therefore, Grand Duke Jon naturally entered the eyes of the high-level Holy See.
It’s not uncommon for the four camps to dig each other’s walls, so after Jon took the throne, the Duchy of Stasi became the object of competition for the Tadoya Empire—it is impossible for the Vola Empire to sit back and watch a young brother with good potential. Was snatched away, so during this period, the two countries can be said to be using various methods to secretly win over the Principality of Stasi.
　　 In other words, the Principality of Stasi, which is calm and strong on the surface, has actually been surging. As long as the authority makes a mistake, this country may be overthrown by the ensuing waves!
　　 Grand Duke Jon is not as beautiful as he looks. After all, no matter how strong he is, he has potential. He is only one person. The Principality of Stasi is just the strongest of the Principality, and it is not even in the middle of the nine kingdoms. And the Nelson Kingdom, the strongest of the nine kingdoms, is simply the difference between the cloud and mud compared to the Haval Empire, the weakest of the four empires!
　　 He can't get rid of these two superpowers at all, so instead of solving the feud, what he needs to consider most is how to deal with the two empires without being annexed.
　　 In this case, the Principality of Stasi was definitely much more restricted than Falkenridge. Even if destroying a small town can indeed arouse the anger of Grand Duke Jon, he, as a wise leader, will never risk the situation to explode and do it for a while.
"Even so..." Bella deserves to be a princess of a country, and it didn't take long to figure out these places. "Castlegate is located in the disputed area on the border between the two countries, even if the real barrier of the Principality of Stasi is one The hurricane fortress a hundred kilometers away, the defense facilities in the town will not be too weak."
　　 "What about this?"
Ai Luo made an expression similar to a smile, and the next moment Bella's eyes widened again happened: a white light flashed by, and the black dragon's huge body began to shrink rapidly, and it became a pet lizard in just a few seconds. The size!
　　 "It's just a simple transformation technique, I can only change my body shape now."
　　 Facing the black dragon's small and exquisite eyes like black crystals, Bella felt that she must admit that this dragon...I am afraid that no matter how much she overestimates him, it is not enough!
　　 At midnight, Castgate fell into the deepest dream. Even this small town on the border between the two countries cannot resist the power of sleep. Except for the few guards who were still patrolling, even the lobby of the most lively "Drunken Dragon" tavern in the town was empty.
　　 In any case, although the relationship between the two countries is very poor, it has been five years since the last war broke out. Not to mention ordinary residents, even the principality squad stationed in the small town has gradually forgotten the atmosphere of war.
　　 The guards who are still patrolling are the best proof: Although they are alert to the movement around the town in accordance with regulations, their faces are obviously tired and lazy.
　　 For five years, every night has been so peaceful, so...easy.
　　 "Who? Stop it!"
　　 With a violent shout, the three guards guarding the east gate of the town hurriedly raised their spears to signal that the person who came out of the darkness should not act rashly.
　　 "I...I'm Willett..."
　　 Bella sniffed hard, showing a sad expression, raised her hands and walked towards the guards.
　　 "Miss Willett?"
　　 A guard recognized the female mage who had appeared in the small town during the day, and screamed in surprise, then put down the weapon in his hand: "Oh my God, why are you walking alone at night! This is too dangerous!"
　　 "Yeah, yeah, come in first!"
　　 The other guards also nodded and opened the door for her.
　　 Bella hurriedly trot all the way when he heard the words, and came to the guards. This petite girl is carrying a backpack behind her. She is obviously in great sadness. There are still two lines of tears on her face. Coupled with her nice face and weak temperament, she suddenly made her feel a little skeptical. The guards completely dispelled suspicion.
　　 The poor girl in front of her must have encountered something wrong. At this time, she definitely needs the comfort of a reliable man more than questioning—they think so.
　　 "Miss Willett, what exactly happened? How about your teammates?"
　　 A guard held her body and asked softly.
　　Who knows this question, the girl’s tears came out again: "Sister Camilla and others... are all dead..."
　　The guards took a deep breath. The Flame Squad is the top five powerful team in the Duchy of Stasi. I didn't expect that this mission will be reduced by half!
　　 "Then...you go back to your residence first, right?"
The guards still wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing Bella’s appearance, not a fool knows that her mood is very unstable, and then poke the helpless girl’s wounds, but she is not a reliable man. .
　　 "Um...thank you..."
　　 Bella pretended to be strong and wiped away her tears, "At least the mission is completed, I have to take everyone's share and live together."
　　 As she said, she deliberately showed the big backpack behind her back to the guards. It was obvious that this was the relic of the companion who died in battle.
　　 And the guards naturally no longer doubted and let them go.
　　 After a while, Bella finally returned to her room.
　　 "A few adults, please come out."
　　 She threw a detection magic casually, and then she put the backpack on the bed and opened it after sensing everything was safe.
　　 "Ello, I swear that there will be another time, you can't send me with such a thing!"
　　 The first one that came out was Hill Carter. This black dragon was also reduced to the size of a pet lizard by Ai Luo. At this moment, he was dragging a few silver coins out with some difficulty, and then lying lazily on the bed.
In fact, Hilcarter realized that he had been fooled when he was still in the backpack. Ai Luo previously offered a condition, saying that as long as he gets smaller, he can search the money in Bella's backpack at will-"As long as you can move, It's all yours," Ai Luo promised.
　　Hill Carter was greedy for a while and agreed in one fell swoop. Who knew he had only found out that he was getting smaller, and he can only take a few silver coins at most...
　　 "So, you are still too weak."
　　 Wes, who came out second, was about the same size as Hill Carter. Weiss didn't ask for any money, because he was quick-thinking and realized at the first time that as long as he could break through a small town, there would be much return!
　　 In contrast, Bella’s little money, he still looks down on it.
　　 Karamunk climbed out next, and this young blue dragon was obviously the most dissatisfied.
　　 "I said, it took me more than ten years to grow up to that age. If you can't change me back, I will kill you."
　　 "Don't worry, if you don't change back, you don't need to do it, they will kill me." Ai Luo who came out finally replied in a helpless tone.
It’s no wonder that Karamunk cared so much, because he was originally the largest size of Karamunk, he was even a lap bigger than Aiello, and now they all returned to the same starting line. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can make him feel a little bit uncomfortable. No more.
　　 "How many adults, when do you start?" Bella looked at the four "little" dragons arguing with each other, trying to suppress the subtlety in my heart, and asked in a respectful tone.
　　 "Go get the treasure you said first."
　　 Ai Luo motioned to Bella. Although he was in the backpack just now, his mental power always enveloped the nearby area. There is no clear relationship between the strength of the mental power and the body shape. Even with the tiny body nowadays, Ai Luo's mental power has not been weakened.
　　 This small town deserves to be a nail on the border...
When entering from the east gate of the town before, Ai Luo’s mental power detection told him that the town is surrounded by high and thick walls on all sides. The four gates located in the east, west, south, and north are It was a thick wooden door wrapped in iron sheets. I'm afraid that even if I regained my body shape, I couldn't easily break it open.
　　 In addition, there are many crossbow arrows on the fence. This kind of extremely penetrating weapon is also in Ai Luo's memory. It is a great invention of humanoid creatures. If a giant dragon is attacked by a crossbow arrow unsuspectingly, there will definitely be a big hole in its body!
　　 In fact, more than a hundred years ago, a hapless dragon personally verified the power of crossbow arrows: this guy wanted to plunder a king's castle, but he was shot down by a hundred crossbow arrows just when he approached.
　　 As for the result?
　　 Ai Luo didn't need to think about it, either he was dismembered or he became a servant of the king.
　　 He chose to use Transfiguration to bring the Tokamak faction in, just to circumvent these powerful human defenses!
　　 And now, all members of the faction are inside Castergate. This small town, like a nut peeled in its shell, appeared before them.
　　 Slaughter... it can begin!
