Chapter 453

Igneel, Grandeeney, and the other dragons radiated light, and finally disappeared into the air.

"Is it over there too?"

As he spoke, Following Ye Yu's form disappeared from where he stood.

At this moment, the moods of Brother Na Zi, Gajeel, Sting, Rogue, and Hearing Wendi were very low.

For Brother Na Zi, Gajeel, and the others, Igneel, Metalicana, and the other dragons were not just masters who taught them Dragon Slayer Magic, but more like their foster parents.

Ever since Igneel and the other dragons disappeared on July 7th, 777, Brother Na Zi and the others had been searching for them.

After many years, they had finally met again.

But now they had to part ways once more.

For Brother Na Zi, Gajeel, and the others, it was naturally quite heartbreaking.

"Hearing Wendi!"

Following Ye Yu appeared out of thin air behind the depressed Hearing Wendi and spoke.

Hearing Following Ye Yu's words, Hearing Wendi slowly turned around.

She looked at Following Ye Yu, then immediately lowered her head.

"I will always be with you!"

Following Ye Yu habitually raised his hand and placed it on Hearing Wendi's head, comforting her.

Hearing Wendi's mood had originally been very low.

Now, after hearing Following Ye Yu's words, her emotions seemed to be released; she hugged Following Ye Yu and burst into tears.

"Let's go back!"

Following Ye Yu let Hearing Wendi hug him like this, and after a long while, he said softly.

…………

Just as Brother Na Zi and the others were bidding farewell to Igneel and the other dragons, Zeref, who was wearing black clothes and a white robe over his shoulders, seemed to sense something.

He turned his head to look in the direction of Brother Na Zi, and said: "Brother Na Zi~!"

Not long after Zeref's voice fell, a male voice came from behind him: "Your Majesty!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see that at the port ahead, a group of soldiers in battle armor were lined up neatly on both sides of the large ships docked at the port.

And on the road leading to the large ship, a man in blue clothes wearing glasses was respectfully waiting there.

If Following Ye Yu were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize the man wearing glasses.

This person was none other than one of the Spriggan 12 of the Alvarez Empire, Invel.

After hearing Invel's words, Zeref turned around gracefully and walked with big strides toward the place where the large ship was.

When Zeref and Invel brushed past each other, Zeref said: "Invel, prepare for war!"

"War?"

Invel turned around, pushed up his glasses, and then followed, saying: "Could it be that Your Majesty is preparing to attack Ishgar?"

"To be precise, it is Fairy Tail; the entire Spriggan 12 will be mobilized!"

Zeref boarded the large ship, stood at the bow, looked back at Ishgar, and said.

The entire Spriggan 12 will be mobilized?

Hearing Zeref's words, Invel's pupils widened slightly.

Although Invel was one of the Spriggan 12.

He was also the Chief of Staff of the Alvarez Empire's army.

He knew about some things in Ishgar.

Naturally, he also knew that the Fairy Tail Zeref spoke of was just an ordinary mage guild on the continent of Ishgar.

In Invel's view, to attack this Fairy Tail, one could just send a squad of mage soldiers to take it down.

But now Zeref was saying that the entire Spriggan 12 should be mobilized to deal with this Fairy Tail.

This made Invel somewhat confused.

After all, any one of the Spriggan 12 possessed the terrifying strength to easily destroy a country.

If Ajeel, the Desert King of the Spriggan 12, were here, and he heard Zeref say that the Spriggan 12 were to be mobilized to deal with Fairy Tail, he would definitely retort: "Your Majesty, to deal with Fairy Tail, I alone am enough!"

But Invel was not Ajeel.

He understood that Zeref must have his own reasons for doing this.

When Invel boarded the large ship with a group of Alvarez Empire soldiers, he then asked Zeref: "Your Majesty, why do you want to use the Spriggan 12 to deal with this Fairy Tail!"

"Not just the Spriggan 12, but the entire military strength of the whole Alvarez Empire!"

"As for the reason, Acnologia has been killed, by a mage from Fairy Tail!"

As soon as Zeref said this, Invel's expression changed drastically, and his heart was filled with stormy waves.

Although Zeref's first half of the sentence had already made Invel very surprised.

But what truly shocked Invel was Zeref's second half of the sentence.

"Acnologia has been killed?"

Who was Acnologia?

The Long Zhiwang.

The synonym for despair.

Although Zeref was like a god-like existence in Invel's heart.

But Invel knew that even Zeref, I'm afraid, could not defeat this Long Zhiwang, Acnologia.

And now, Zeref was saying that the Long Zhiwang, Acnologia, had been killed by someone.

If someone else said that Acnologia had been killed.

Invel's first reaction would definitely be that it was impossible.

After all, it was impossible for anyone in this world to defeat Acnologia.

But the person who said this was Zeref.

Invel trusted Zeref's words unconditionally.

Since Zeref said Acnologia had been killed, then Acnologia must have been killed.

Until this moment, Invel finally understood why Zeref wanted to use the entire national strength of the Alvarez Empire to deal with a single guild.

The reason was simple: because this guild had killed the Long Zhiwang, Acnologia.

"I understand; after returning, I will summon the Spriggan 12!"

Invel replied to Zeref. ===== CHAPTER 455 =====
