In early May, a sky boat was flying in the sky. Around it, ten gryphon knights were guarding it. On the ground, three hundred knights wearing full sets of magic armor controlled the horses and marched neatly.
The ten knights marching at the front of this group of 300 knights are all knights at the level of Grand Knight Commander. They hold two heraldic flags in their hands. One is the unicorn emblem of the Harry family in Harvest City. Flag, one is the dragon heraldic flag.
Nobles who know something about heraldry will recognize that these are the two coats of arms worn by King Abel of the Principality of Kamai.
This kind of ceremonial guard shows that a powerful king is traveling. This is the first time Abel travels as a king. For the dignity of the Kamai Principality, the bravery and power of the Kamai Principality must be shown on major occasions.
Both the sky boat and the gryphon knights are symbols of the power of the Principality of Camai. Coupled with the three hundred knights in magic armor, this scale of protection has made all the principalities in the Holy Continent unable to resist.
For this trip, the Principality of Kamai forced the Principality of Raqqa and the Principality of Koror to withdraw fifty miles each from the boundary line from the Principality of Kamai to the Principality of Keen.
Although the Principality of Raqqa and the Principality of Koror complained about this, they could only swallow their anger and retreated fifty miles from the border, leaving a wide enough passage between the Principality of Kamai and the Principality of Keen.
The army that was guarding Abel was heading towards the Principality of Keen through this passage. The principalities that had originally prepared to make small moves because of the weakness of the Principality of Keen, now had to change their plans because of Abel's visit.
Abel was currently sitting on Sky Boat No. 1, and the other two sky boats stayed in the Harvest City area of the Principality of Kamai to deter all intelligence organizations from various countries who dared to pry into the secrets of Harvest City.
At this time, he was holding a book of sacrificial spells obtained from a high-ranking orc priest. King Kenneth of the Principality of Keen proposed to him the decision to merge with the Principality of Camai, disrupting his training plan again.
He originally planned to end Tarasha's exploration after the war, but now he has to postpone it.
It happened that his level 12 wizard crystal was full and he was waiting for an opportunity to be promoted. It was precisely because his level was about to be improved that he decided to wait for his strength to increase by another level so that he could be more confident before killing Duriel.
Every time the wizard level increases, the suppression given by the higher level will be reduced, especially for a dark gold level leader like Duriel.
The merger of the Principality of Keen into the Principality of Kamai is still kept secret, but the Principality of Kamai provided a batch of food to the Principality of Keen, which made all the principalities jealous. If the Principality of Kamai did not show its strength, they would There will still be some thoughts, but now all I have is envy.
The Principality of Keen used this batch of food to give its people a chance to breathe.
When Abel's army entered the Principality of Keen, a knighthood consisting of a hundred knights joined the escort. This was the last armed force of the Principality of Keen. The joining of these knights in the escort also showed that the Principality of Keen had great influence on Abel. Arrival welcome.
Of course, this is also the last glory of the Principality of Keen. These hundred knights will eventually become knights of the merged Principality of Camai. The knights at this time did not know this.
On the way to Bili City, the capital of the Principality of Keen, countless citizens of the Principality of Keen looked at this powerful army with admiring eyes. The sky boat in the sky made them feel an unprecedented feeling. I had a trembling feeling.
It is a kind of fear of the unknown things that humans have. A ship that can fly in the sky, and flies in the sky with powerful weapons, anyone who sees the sky boat will have a deep sense of powerlessness.
It was this kind of demonstration of force that made the people of the Principality of Keen full of awe towards Abel and his party. This was also Abel's intention.
Let the people of the Principality of Keen see the power of the Principality of Kamai, and use food to provide food and clothing for the people, which will allow the Principality of Keen to better integrate into the Principality of Kamai.
It was the harvest season of winter wheat at this time, but along the way, large areas of land in the Principality of Keen had become barren. The invasion of the four principalities had plunged the principality into despair, and the food in the Principality of Kamai was like the desert. The bowl of water they received, although not much, gave them hope.
When Abel's army appeared outside Bili City, King Kenneth and the ministers of the Principality of Keen were already standing at the gate of Bili City to greet Abel.
This etiquette was beyond the expectations of all the nobles in Bili City, and also puzzled the diplomatic envoys and intelligence personnel of various countries in Bili City.
No matter how noble Abel's status was, King Kenneth's behavior was more like a subordinate's behavior. As a king, he went out of the city to greet him. This kind of etiquette would only appear when the country surrendered.
Because no matter what time, the king always represents the dignity of a principality, and once the king loses his dignity, the principality will be looked down upon by the human world.
No matter how weak the Principality of Keen is, it is still a principality, a principality recognized by the human world.
Although Abel is powerful and the Principality of Kamai is also very powerful, in terms of status, Abel is not considered a master blacksmith. His status as king is equal to that of King Kenneth.
Abel also gave King Kenneth a lot of face. Not far from the city gate, the sky boat descended, and he walked down from the sky boat.
"Honorable King Abel, welcome to your visit!" King Kenneth quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply.
At this time, he had regarded Abel as his king, and he was just a nobleman who would be loyal to Abel. Although his status was lowered, he could keep the wealth and glory of his family, which was considered worthwhile.
"King Kenneth, thank you for your welcome!" Abel bowed in return and said with a smile.
The ministers behind King Kenneth looked at Abel with complicated eyes. Since King Kenneth's operations were very confidential, these ministers had just learned about the merger with the Principality of Kamai.
Abel was a nightmare for the Principality of Keen. He personally changed the Principality of Keen from strong to weak. The disappearance of the wizarding circle greatly reduced the national power of the Principality of Keen.
But at that time, Abel, as a wizard, was at war with the wizarding circle of the Principality of Keen. It was an act between wizards, and if the wizarding circle of the Principality of Keen had not done something that went beyond the rules of wizards, how could the following things have happened.
No one can tell whether this is right or wrong, and this hatred should be very deep into the bones.
But the invasion of the four principalities made the four neighboring countries of the Principality of Keen become far more hated enemies than Abel. Countless knights and nobles were lost, food and wealth were looted, and the Principality of Keen was almost destroyed. The country.
At this time, it was Abel who extended a helping hand to them and provided food to the Principality of Keen so that the Principality of Keen could survive the most difficult moment.
So now these ministers of the Principality of Keen have a very complicated attitude towards Abel. At the same time, they also know that Abel will become their king, and their fate will also be placed in the hands of this young king.
"His Majesty King Abel!" The ministers bowed and saluted. Things had reached this point. They also knew the purpose of Abel's visit today. They could no longer prevent this from happening and could only accept it.
At this time, the ministers had begun to consider the attitude of their respective families and how to make good friends with Abel and obtain corresponding rights.
"King Abel, please!" King Kenneth said with a hand gesture.
At this time, a luxurious carriage stopped next to Abel. It was a carriage exclusively used by the Duke of Keen's royal family. The golden body reflected the dignity of its user. The four snow-white horses used the same golden horses. The golden carriage was pulled by a tool.
A waiter was about to step forward to help open the carriage door, but King Kenneth stepped forward to open the door first.
Abel smiled, made a hand gesture, and invited King Kenneth to board the carriage. King Kenneth showed absolute respect for him, and he also showed the same respect to King Kenneth.
While the carriage was traveling, the people of the entire city of Bili gathered on both sides of the avenue. They cheered wildly when they saw the golden carriage. These people sincerely welcomed the Principality of Kamai who helped them.
Some nobles who had some thoughts about Abel and the Principality of Kamai, when they saw the sky boat in the sky that kept traveling at the same speed as the carriage on the ground, and the gryphon knights constantly circling around the sky boat, they felt in their hearts. The little idea I had was gone.
The carriage moved slowly, accepting the welcome of the surrounding people. Three hundred knights from the Principality of Camai followed the golden carriage, and a hundred knights from the Principality of Keen opened the way in front.
The front curtain of the golden carriage was opened, and Abel and King Kenneth were smiling and waving while talking softly to each other.
Just when the sky and the ground were protected by powerful force, and it seemed extremely safe, Abel's eyes suddenly changed, and a magic shield instantly appeared in his left hand, blocking him and King Kenneth. .
The Grand Knight Commander's spiritual sense made him feel that he was locked by a murderous intention. Changing clothes quickly from the space bracelet was a skill he had learned from constant battles for a long time. His mental power penetrated into the space bracelet and the shield appeared directly on his left hand. It's just a matter of a moment.
Of course, he can also have a better way of handling it, that is, to directly 'teleport' to the attacker's side and catch the attacker.
But doing so would put King Kenneth in danger. He would not let King Kenneth die at this time. The Principality of Keen was about to become the Principality of Camai, and he did not want anything to happen because of King Kenneth. , which affects the execution of the plan.
"Ding!" An armor-piercing arrow flew out from the carriage on the side, and at the same time, two white lights appeared on the side of Abel's carriage. This was the light of 'teleportation'. There were two intermediate wizards at the same time. Attacked Abel.
Abel could not move. King Kenneth beside him was just an ordinary nobleman, not even a knight. Even a slight attack would cause King Kenneth to suffer a fatal blow.
When the armor-piercing arrow hit the magic shield, Abel could clearly smell the fishy smell on the armor-piercing arrow. This armor-piercing arrow was highly poisonous.
The two intermediate wizards also have strong combat experience. The 'fireball' spell in their hands has been completed as soon as they appear. This is a two-handed spell casting technique. When these two intermediate wizards were in the carriage beside them, they had already moved 'teleport'. 'The spell is activated, and at the same time the 'Fireball' spell pattern is drawn.
When it arrived in front of Abel, the 'Fireball' was activated almost without any pause and flew towards Abel.
The 'Fireball' spell is a group attack spell. Once it explodes, Abel will have no problem protecting himself, but King Kenneth on the side will be hurt.
An ordinary person's chance of surviving within the explosion range of two 'fireball' spells is almost zero.
After the two intermediate wizards threw the 'Fireball' spell, another spell pattern was almost completed in the other hand.
Abel's hand gently rested on King Kenneth's body, and he activated his 'teleportation' spell. His 'teleportation' spell was activated after the 'fireball' spell, but was cast first, before the 'fireball' reached his side. By then, it had disappeared on the carriage.
After this luxurious golden carriage was hit by two 'fireballs', it was turned into pieces in two consecutive explosions. The four white horses were also injured by the explosion and turned into flesh and blood. .
The two intermediate wizards did not expect that Abel could also 'teleport'. This was inconsistent with the information they received. The information did not say that Abel was an intermediate wizard.
Just when the two intermediate wizards were looking for the direction of Abel's 'teleportation', two bolts of lightning from the sky struck them.
If the attack comes from Abel, they may still have the opportunity to use 'teleportation'. Even if there is no chance to use 'teleportation', the 'teleportation' scroll on them will activate their escape.
But the two intermediate wizards never thought that the attack came from the sky. Although the sky boat showed powerful combat capabilities in the war, it was only in the war. In such a densely populated place, they did not believe it. The mechanisms on the sky boat will attack them accurately.
They were wrong, and the price of their mistake was to be struck by lightning from the lightning spiral.
If it is a continuous-fire strong city crossbow, it is indeed impossible to react in a short time, because the continuous-fire strong city crossbow is aimed and attacked by people, and no matter how good the crossbow archer is, he must have time to prepare.
But the Lightning Spiral is different. It is controlled by the Sky Boat Spirit No. 1. As long as it is within the detection range of the Sky Boat Spirit No. 1, the Lightning Spiral can launch an attack at any time.
The passive defense magic items on the two intermediate wizards were activated, which made the lightning attack effect of the lightning spiral less effective, but it was only reduced a little. The remaining power was enough to cause the two intermediate wizards to be seriously injured after being hit by lightning all over their bodies. state while being paralyzed.
"Protect King Kenneth!" Abel ordered the ten great knight captains of the Duke of Kamai who rushed forward.
His heart was already full of anger, and this kind of assassination actually appeared on him. After he handed over King Kenneth to the protection of ten great knight captains, he immediately turned into a white light and appeared next to the two intermediate wizards. , the shield in his hand struck the bodies of the two intermediate wizards.
'Shield Blow', his attack power was not very strong, but the stun effect of 'Shield Blast' made the two intermediate wizards enter a state of complete loss of control for two seconds, and then he took out two from the space bracelet. The shackles of confinement were placed directly on the two intermediate wizards.
At this moment, the carriage on the roadside had been struck by several bolts of lightning. When several knights opened the door, the two archers inside had become charred corpses.
The two archers should be very terrifying assassins. They know how to suppress murderous intent and only expose it at the last moment. However, they found the wrong target, and the terrifying nature of the sky boat exceeded their expectations.
The two archers only shot one arrow, and they were baptized by lightning falling from the sky. Although their bodies had been trained to be extremely strong, facing the attack of the lightning spiral, without lightning element resistance, no matter how strong their bodies were, they were useless.
Abel grabbed two intermediate wizards with his hands, and their figures turned into a white light and disappeared on the spot, and then he appeared on the sky boat.
He threw the two mid-level wizards to the ground, and then said to the Knight Commander Bodley who came with him: "Ask the Intelligence Department to investigate for me, and find out from the two of them who wants to assassinate me!"
"Your Majesty, they are mid-level wizards. Where is the Wizards Guild?" Grand Knight Bodley has come into contact with many mid-level wizards and knows that mid-level wizards have many privileges. Generally, mid-level wizards who kill people in the city will be handled by the Wizards Guild. The local principality has no jurisdiction.
"Don't worry, no wizard guild will stand up for these two intermediate wizards. I'm just trying to see who will stand up for them!" Abel said with murderous intent in his eyes.
Today was a happy day. Just when he should be happy the most, something like this happened, which made him feel angry.
He also saw that both the mid-level wizard and the archer were real assassins, especially the two mid-level wizards whose fighting skills were definitely not that of ordinary mid-level wizards.
Of course, although the intermediate wizards are powerful, they are shackles of imprisonment. The intermediate wizards are just like ordinary people and cannot use magic power. The space bags on the two intermediate wizards were also taken off by Abel. The two intermediate wizards are almost on the board. The meat is no longer able to resist.
The Intelligence Department has countless ways to make anyone speak. Now Abel just needs to wait for the final result.
"King Kenneth, are you okay?" Abel teleported back to the ground from the sky boat and stepped forward to say to King Kenneth.
"Thank you King Abel for your life-saving grace, otherwise I would have died on that carriage!" King Kenneth thanked him with lingering fear as he looked at the carriage that had turned into black ashes.
"I have already asked the Intelligence Department to interrogate you. It is very likely that I have caused trouble for you!" Abel said with a smile and waved his hand.
The carriage was destroyed, which also caused some confusion among the surrounding people. However, the battle started quickly and ended quickly. Two powerful intermediate wizards were instantly subdued. This caused the people to be confused and were immediately overwhelmed by Abel's power again. cheered.
After changing to a carriage, Abel and King Kenneth got into the carriage again and headed towards the palace.
When he arrived at the palace, King Kenneth had regained his composure, but there was something different in the way he looked at Abel. His strength was always awe-inspiring.
In the past, Abel's power was only in legends, but now everything is happening in front of his eyes. This experience is different from the rumors.
In the palace hall, all the noble nobles of Bili City, as well as some powerful knights, are gathered here.
Although they are nobles and knights in Bili City, due to the previous invasion by the four principalities, almost all the nobles and knights of the Principality of Keen are concentrated in Bili City. Although the war has ended, due to the destruction of the four principalities and the shortage of food The problem made these nobles and knights stay in Bili City.
When Abel and King Kenneth walked into the hall, the eyes of hundreds of nobles and knights in the hall were all focused on Abel.
"Ahem!" King Kenneth coughed lightly, turning the attention of everyone in the hall to him.
"The Principality of Kamai is a powerful principality. Under the leadership of King Abel, three hundred knights defeated the alliance of five principalities composed of 14,000 knights, creating a miracle of war!" King Kenneth solemnly introduced road.
There was a burst of applause in the hall. Brilliant victories are always sung by people, and the commander of this war is right in front of them, which makes everyone even more excited.
"The Principality of Kamai is a rich principality. Under the current situation of severe crop yield reduction, the Principality of Kamai can still ensure food for every citizen and has extended a helping hand to us!" King Kenneth continued Said again.
Applause rang out again in the hall, and everyone present was a beneficiary of the assistance from the Principality of Kamai.
“Today, on behalf of the royal family of the Principality of Keen, I formally pledge allegiance to the distinguished King Abel, and transfer the rights of the Principality of Keen to King Abel. The Principality of Keen will be merged into the Principality of Camai, and my citizens will no longer be troubled by hunger. , my people will also enjoy a peaceful and stable life forever!" King Kenneth's voice rose and he announced loudly.
The sudden news caused silence in the entire hall. Everyone in the hall could not digest the news they just heard.
Everyone present was not an ordinary person. Their status as nobles and knights allowed them to know more about the Kamai Principality, how powerful the Kamai Principality was now, and what kind of situation the Keen Principality was facing.
The Principality of Keen has been struggling to survive. If the Principality of Kamai had not crippled all the principalities surrounding the Principality of Keen, the Principality of Keen would not have existed until now.
It is acceptable to join the Principality of Camai, because in the Kingdom of St. Ellis, except for the Principality of Camai, no principality can accept them. Not to mention the problem that their domestic strength has been greatly weakened, the other principalities have also lost food. Unable to support itself, let alone the Principality of Keen.
But the only question now is whether their treatment will change after joining the Principality of Camai, whether they will be marginalized, and whether their titles and territories will be affected.
"I, Abel, accept the allegiance of Duke Kenneth and promise that as long as the nobles of the Principality of Keen are loyal to the merged Principality of Kamai, your current territory and title will remain unchanged. In the process of rebuilding this land in the future, I still need your strong support!" Abel said with a smile while looking at the somewhat uneasy people.
The area of the Principality of Keen is not small. Due to the war, there are very few nobles in various places. After being included in the Principality of Camai, it needs to be rebuilt, which requires various talents.
In the Holy Continent, such talents come from nobles, and civilians do not receive the inheritance of management. The large number of job vacancies made Abel attach great importance to the nobles and knights in the hall.
"I pledge my allegiance to you, my king!" An old noble bowed first and said.
After getting a head start, nobles and knights one after another bowed and swore allegiance, and there was no longer an upright participant in the hall.
The news that the Principality of Keen merged into the Principality of Camai shocked the entire Holy Continent. This was the first case of a principality merging into a principality in the past thousand years, and the location of the Principality of Keen shocked the other five kingdoms of the entire Saint Ellis Kingdom. The principality was extremely uneasy.
Because all the territory of the Kamai Principality now borders all five other principalities, and borders a powerful principality that is powerful enough to suppress the union of all principalities, this makes the five principalities feel oppressed.
The territory itself was reduced due to compensation after the defeat, and what happened now made them feel even less safe.
The atmosphere in the royal palace of the Kingdom of St. Alice was extremely dull. The loss of a weak vassal country and the addition of a powerful vassal country greatly affected the strength of the Kingdom of St. Ellis.
Although the Principality of Kamai is said to be a vassal state, it is now getting closer and closer to the Kingdom of St. Ellis in terms of strength. The Kingdom of St. Ellis has a legion of 20,000 knights, while the Principality of Kamai has more than 10,000 legions of knights.
The Kingdom of St. Elis has a squadron of about a hundred gryphon knights, while the Principality of Camai only has fourteen gryphon knights, but its equipment is more powerful, and it is also assisted by the sky boat, allowing St. Elis to The Kingdom of Sri Lanka lost all its air superiority.
In terms of wizards, if there is a real comparison between the middle and low-level wizards, the wizard circle of the Principality of Kamai, where the intermediate wizard Morton with lightning talent is sitting, goes to war with the wizard circle of the Kingdom of St. Alice, the result will be very terrible.
The senior wizards of the Kingdom of St. Alice simply did not dare to go to Harry Castle. It was the cemetery of senior wizards. Three seventeenth-level senior wizards died there, which made most senior wizards lose their ability to go to Harry Castle. courage.
The most terrifying thing about the Kamai Principality is not these, but their king. Abel has proven strength to destroy the city. This strength makes Abel's destructive power almost equal to the Kamai Principality and Saint Eli. The gap between the strength of the Kingdom of Sri Lanka.
"Father, Duke Kenneth has no right to give the Principality of Keen to Grandmaster Abel!" In the main hall, the eldest prince Alec stepped forward and bowed.
Although he said he had no rights, he already called Kenneth a Duke in his words, which was acquiescence to this accomplished fact.
"Your Majesty, we cannot sit back and watch the Principality of Kamai grow. The Principality of Kamai has a large amount of food. In such a time of food shortage, it is too easy to win people's hearts. And I don't know how Grandmaster Abel has so much food. These are The supplies the empire needs most urgently!" Duke Ernest said in a deep voice.
He has already felt the pressure from the Principality of Kamai. Both the eldest prince Alec and Duke Ernest have good relations with Abel on the surface, but the differences in national interests directly caused them to ask for the Kingdom of St. Ellis. Punish Abel.
"Alec, send me another mission to the Principality of Kamai, and bring me a redrawn map as a congratulatory gift for the merger of the two principalities and the acquisition of fifteen cities by the Principality of Kamai!" Although His Majesty Ambrose said it was a congratulatory gift. , but his face was gloomy.
When the eldest prince Alec heard that he was going to bring a redrawn map as a gift, he looked at His Majesty Ambrose in surprise. If he brought such a gift, it would be the empire's approval of the expansion of the Principality of Kamai. legality.
"Father, are you going to recognize the status of the Principality of Kamai like this?" the eldest prince Alec asked unwillingly.
"Alec, if we don't approve the merger of the Principality of Keen into the Principality of Camai, will the merger of the Principality of Keen into the Principality of Camai stop?" His Majesty Ambrose asked in a deep voice.
"No!" Prince Alec shook his head and said.
"Is it feasible for us to start a real war with the Principality of Camai now?" His Majesty Ambrose asked again.
The eldest prince Alec still shook his head. How could he start another war? This time he sent an army of 20,000 knights to the Principality of Thunder to find an advantage, but he came back in despair. It took only 20,000 knights to set off. In terms of food and grass, all the proceeds from the last robbery of the four principalities and the Principality of Keen were taken up at once. If they want to send 20,000 knights out again, there will be no food and grass supply.
"We can neither start a war nor prevent the Principality of Keen from merging into the Principality of Kamai. If we don't recognize the merger, the Principality of Kamai will still be strong. If we admit the merger, we can ease relations with the Principality of Kamai. Everything is for the benefit of the empire!" Ambrose! His Majesty said to the eldest prince Alec.
"Yes, father, I will go to the Principality of Camai!" The eldest prince Alec bowed and said.
