Chapter 579: Sephiroth's bait

Views:

Today there is a rumor that everyone is in big trouble, "Shan Xin said again,

Salin's words were a bit disrespectful to the emperor, but since he was a sixth-level great magician and was familiar with the emperor's sister, he really couldn't have any respect for the sick emperor. WWw!QuANbEn-XiAoShUo!Com

Aini's fifty soldiers had already left the city and were waiting more than ten miles ahead. When everyone gathered, there was no detour. In fact, there was no detour around Holy Rock City, and they must pass through the four towns. The rest of the place is covered with mountains, and there are small castles in the gaps. You can ask for support from the four towns at any time. Once the Holy Rock City wants to blockade, there will be no way to escape within a hundred miles.

The problem is that what the Clyde family did was not authorized by the House of Lords or the House of Commons, but the family's own behavior, which could not be coordinated with the military. Salin and others passed through Beizhen safely without any obstruction. Twenty miles away from North Town, Salin refused to leave. If Narnia didn't come back with him, it would be hard to talk to Rex. Besides, he and Narnia have not finished learning some knowledge about the Fourth Dynasty. Even if he does not plan to clarify his identity, many things about the Fourth Dynasty will be of great use to his magic practice.

Narnia is that kind of knowledge mage. Her knowledge is extremely complex, and a considerable part of it is her own deep-seated feelings.

Such a mage is extremely precious to any peer. Salin didn't know what Narnia was called to the palace for, and even though he didn't foresee a life-or-death crisis, he was still worried.

Narnia was having dinner with His Majesty the Emperor in the palace at this time. His Majesty Ojarvis was about the same height as Salin, but looked thin. Same as Rex. Ojarvis has a pair of blue eyes. His snow-white skin and brows lack the magician temperament of Rex, but they don't look cowardly either.

It seems that Ojarvis is just like an ordinary noble boy. He was in a good mood, playing with a badge that Narnia had given him.

This badge is extremely common. All swordsmen belonging to the Glycos family have it. The pattern on it is a six-winged flying snake. The difference is that within this badge, a magic is sealed using family secrets. A seventh-level defense magic crystal guard.

This means that Rex's family secret technique has achieved some success and can be used in actual combat without harming himself. At the same time, what also excited Ojarvis was that Rex was hinting that she could advance to become a mage at any time...

Ojarvis only has a simple memory of Rex. The last time Rex returned to Holy Rock City, he had just been cured of his disease, and people around him said countless bad things about Rex. Ojarvis didn't behave like a teenager at the time and chose to endure it. As a member of the Glycos family, he understands that the people around him are all for power and profit, that's why they say that about Rex.

If his father did not let his sister inherit the throne, then her sister would not take the initiative to take it. What kind of world is it now? The Tangulas Empire is invading everywhere. My sister has many opportunities to obtain a large amount of land. What's the point of competing with herself for the Holy Rock City? Facts have proved that she was right. Instead of using family power or finding supporters in the House of Lords, her sister went to the far north and built a new city.

Others can see that my sister wants Phoenix, and of course Ojarvis can also see it. He has been pretending to be confused in front of the minister.

Although he has the support of three ninth-level magicians, Ojarvis is different from the previous Qin Yin emperors. His own health is not good, he has not practiced family secrets, swordsmanship, and magic, and he is not very good.

This is a feeling of powerlessness. If my sister is killed and I die too, then my bloodline will be completely cut off. In less than three years, those ministers would completely forget about themselves and randomly choose a man named Glycos to be the emperor of this country.

No matter how weak Chanak's son is, he will never be confused mentally. Been sick for so many years. Ojarvis could not practice any martial arts magic, but he still learned a lot of knowledge with the help of a ninth-level magician. For the real Jarvis, whether to be emperor or not is not important, what is important is to survive.

Rex's badge contains a level seven defensive magic, and the hint is obvious. Stay alive, give birth to sons, and make those ministers profitless.

Qin Yin's various crystal figures would not give away a hair.

Rex's seventh-level magic is Crystal Guardian. After using it, Ojarvis will be surrounded by crystal-like elemental armor. Before the magic is broken, even high-level magic cannot affect him.

Narnia ate elegantly, she took her time. Regarding Ojarvis, she intuitively believed that he was a good young man, but his fate was very bad.

If you want to be the emperor of Qin Yin, Yongwu should be the first. That was the symbol of the empire, why Emperor Chanak was supported, because he was a powerful emperor who never backed down.

Ojarvis may be good to the people, but he does not have absolute force. Except for the swordsmen battalion loyal to the royal family, it was difficult for him to mobilize the troops in the four towns.

Narnia put down the bowl, cast a cleaning spell to make the table look cleaner, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. You can rest assured that the princess will make the Phoenix front line very safe."

"I will find a way to keep the troops in Guderian City from moving rashly and stay in Qin Yin."

Narnia smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need. The troops in Guderian City are all Prince Sephiroth's people. Although the prince is not very good to the princess, he still protects your majesty. If there is a stalemate, he will treat your majesty. There is no easy way to worship”

"Hmph!" Ojarvis snorted heavily, but didn't say much. In Holy Rock City, apart from the royal palace and the swordsman camp, all other affairs are in the hands of Sephiroth, and his orders cannot leave Holy Rock City.

"Once the conflict between His Majesty and the Prince becomes clear, the nobles in the south will become restless. There will inevitably be those who stand on their own, and I am afraid there will be those who seek refuge with the princess. No matter which one, it will not be easy to solve." Narnia talked eloquently, Ojarvis looked at Narnia's confident statement and felt a little shaken in his heart. This magician is very beautiful! Like, like a sister.

"Sister, you still don't believe in my ability!" Ojarvis was a little frustrated. His food, made by the emperor, had no taste. "She doesn't need my help?"

Naniya thought for a while, took out an iron box and placed it on the table.

"What's this?"

"The princess gave it to me. She said that if you see me alone, I will give this to you. You can open it after I leave for a month. This iron box is sealed with magic and can only be handled by a ninth-level magician."

"So mysterious." Ojarvis took the iron box. The iron box was short and flat and could only hold a piece of paper.

"The princess is afraid that your majesty will be impulsive. Okay, we've finished our meal. When can I leave?" Narnia's attitude toward Ojawi was the same as Salin's. She couldn't bring up any feelings of admiration or fear. "I heard that you have companions?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid I've already passed Beizhen, and you'll be waiting for me in the future." "I'll send a battalion of swordsmen to escort you away," Ojarvis said.

"Even if there is no swordsman camp, Prince Sephiroth will not send anyone to deal with me. I am just an unimportant mage under the princess and have no meaning to him." Narnia said with a smile.

Ojarvis thought to himself, my sister asked you to hand over the iron box to me, how could you be an unimportant person. But he didn't say anything, but insisted on sending a brigade from the Royal Swordsman Battalion to protect Narnia and leave. Having said all the things that need to be entrusted, Ojarvis only waited for Rex to send troops to defend the Rhine Principality.

A group of the Royal Swordsman Battalion consists of two hundred people, surrounded by a fourth-level magician, speeding through the streets. No patrolling soldiers dared to stop this, and Nania could not communicate with these soldiers. The soldiers of the Royal Swordsman Battalion are all covered in closed armor, with ventilation holes on their faces, and polished crystal pieces for their eyes.

In the early winter of Holy Rock City, there were still leaves hanging on the trees. The wind brought by the two hundred cavalry blew down countless yellow leaves along the way. Viewed from the back, it looks like a flying snake dragging a yellow tornado, crossing the long street and rushing out of the city gate.

Without Sephiroth's obstruction, no one in this city would dare to touch a hair of the Swordsman Camp. Ojarvis is overly worried. Some of the people in the city are controlled by him, and most of them are controlled by Sephiroth. Anyone who dares to disobey their ideas will be torn into pieces, and even their souls will not be able to live in peace. .

After leaving Holy Rock City, the team thinned slightly, but they still passed through North Town and met Salin before nightfall.

"Thank you, go back and resume your life." Nania was a little out of breath and said to the person wearing the officer's badge. Her physical fitness is not as good as that of a mage like Salin. Running wildly on horseback is a burden to her. The war horses of the Royal Swordsman Battalion are different from the skeleton war horses. They are not as stable, and there is no riding equipment suitable for Narnia. The dozens of miles of running caused some pain in her inner thighs, but she managed to get over it with magic treatment.

"Your Majesty's order is for us to escort you, sir, back to Metatrin City. If the king wants us to stay, we don't have to go back to Holy Rock City." The officer replied immediately, with a respectful attitude.

The Royal Swordsmen Battalion were the cronies of Emperor Chanak and had no objection to this order. It is much more comfortable to be loyal to King Rex than in Holy Rock City. In Holy Rock City, it still depends on Prince Sephiroth's face. Without Ojarvis or Rex, Prince Sephiroth would be the loyal object of the Royal Swordsman Battalion, not now.

When Narnia was about to refuse, the officer said, "Besides, if someone is chasing us from behind, it would be safer to protect you sir."

Saleen said from the side: "Yes, there is a flag regiment, including forty heavy armored cavalry, all riding one-horned monsters."

The officer looked at Salin in surprise. Saleen is now wearing a demon suit and looks like a swordsman, not a magician at all. His elemental eyes can see a distance of a hundred miles. This is a plain. Although the team behind them maintains a distance of ten miles, they cannot escape his eyes.

The officer hesitated for a moment, then Narnia said: "This is the Lord of Metatrin City."

The officer immediately saluted and said: "The people behind are not here to deal with us. In the Qinglong Stone area in front, there are people hidden by the Holy See who will ambush us. The people behind are sent by Prince Sephiroth and want to use us as bait. The power deployed here by the Holy See was eradicated in one fell swoop.”

"How do you know?" Salin asked with a frown.

"Your Excellency, in North Town, Prince Sephiroth sent someone to deliver a message. If we fail to protect you, it will be a death penalty." The officer said unhurriedly. It seemed that Sephiroth's order did not make him feel unfair.

"Using us as bait? His Royal Highness is very scheming. But with the power of the Holy See appearing so close to Holy Rock City, he is not afraid of taking responsibility?"

The officer chuckled and didn't answer. Most of the power of the Holy See hidden in Qin Yin is actually under surveillance. This time, Sephiroth wants to find out the forces that have not been revealed and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Before Salin and others arrived, the people in the Prince's Palace had already known about it and spread the news that the special envoy from King Rex had come to discuss the arrangement of two fronts on the border.

The Holy See originally did not have much power in the Qinglong Stone area, and they were all monitoring the Holy Rock City. Because Holy Rock City is tightly guarded, it is impossible to get close within a hundred miles. These spies from the Holy See can only observe the number and frequency of military messengers coming and going on the road, as well as where they have the closest contacts with nobles. Take these crude intelligence back From analysis, you won’t get much.

But this time, if the messenger of King Rex is captured, the harvest will be too great. The conflict between King Rex and Sephiroth's relatives is known even to the people of the Tangulas Empire, so the information conveyed to the emperor must have been carried by the messenger.

Sephiroth's Bone Wings caused such a situation, and the people in the Holy See couldn't help but be moved.

As for what rumors Sephiroth added and asked the people of the Holy See to send out a large number of troops, the people in the Royal Swordsman Battalion didn’t know. But in the Qinglong Stone Generation, the Holy See could gather hundreds of people. It was amazing. The Royal Swordsmen Battalion The two hundred soldiers did not take this ambush seriously.

"The people in the Holy See are stupid enough." Salin sighed, waved his hand and went on the road, letting the people from the Royal Swordsman Battalion follow. Now he has two hundred and fifty soldiers by his side, and they are all powerful warriors. Without the Juggernaut appearing, these two hundred and fifty soldiers would be enough to protect them. Even if the enemy has a great magician, they don't have to do it themselves.

The officer urged his horse to follow him. The war horse with the military character was also very impressive. It was not even afraid of Salin's skeleton war horse.

"Your Excellency, the people in the Holy See are not stupid, they don't care about life and death. If there is a fight later, please ask the city lord to stay in the middle of our team and not to be in front."

Taking advantage of the good idea, Saleen slowed down the skeleton horse and let the soldiers from the Royal Swordsman Battalion act as the vanguard. The two sides have officially started a war. The Holy See will become more and more crazy and may send more senior priests into Qin Yin.

Before he became a magician, he could easily be plotted by his enemies. Now my own cloud travel speed is only a hundred miles away. Among the Holy See's magical arts, there are several that fly extremely fast and can maintain their advantage over magic for dozens of miles. Unless you travel more than two hundred miles, you still cannot guarantee safety.

Qinglongshi is actually a small town. This town has only one water source and less than a hundred residents. Shengyan City does not allow shops to be opened here. Instead, it has set up a post station to receive envoys from nobles to Shengyan City for free. As for private caravans, they can only set up their own camps in simple towns.

This is away from Holy Rock City

There are no big nobles, just hundreds of small nobles scattered thousands of miles away! Fortunately, Sichuan Shengyan City cannot pose any threat. Holy Rock City does not station troops here either. It is a strange place and seems a bit desolate.

The area around Qinglong Stone is about thirty miles wide. The sandy and gravel landform has six hills, ranging from three to five hundred meters high, surrounding Qinglong Stone. These six hills are like the green dragon stone in the middle of the shape of six giant dragons. It is a round flat highland. The town looks a bit lonely, without a single tree or any animal approaching.

The cold wind of early winter blew by, bringing with it a whimpering sound. The city gate of Qinglongshi is open, and there is not a single guard soldier. The smell of blood filled the air, and on the low tower, several black crows with golden eyes stood, looking at the road to the south.

Qinglongshi is already a dead city, and the blood stains in the simple alleys have not been cleaned yet. Hundreds of soldiers in white uniforms lurked in windowless houses. The other side is also arranged in the same way. The wide road between Qinglong Stone is empty. In the center of the town, there is a tall statue. The face of the statue has been blurred. Under the statue, there are three people standing, one wearing a red robe. The priest.

The priest was a little angry and said in a gloomy voice: "Who asked you to kill everyone here? Aren't you forcing Qin Yin and us to fight to the death? Do you know what kind of trouble this will cause to the Pope's important affairs! "

The two people who were scolded by the red-robed priest showed no fear at all. They were wearing black robes with the mark of the Inquisition on them.

One of them had shallow scars all over his face, as if he had been tortured. He is in his thirties, has sparse eyebrows and purple eyes. He did not take the red-robed priest's words to heart, but replied: "Sir, everyone in Qin Yin deserves to die anyway. The Holy See has been established for thousands of years, but it has been unable to spread faith in Qin Yin. This is not the problem of Emperor Qin Yin, but this All the people in this land are heretics.”

"Is this what the old guy from the Inquisition taught you?" The red-clothed priest's voice was cold. The two deacons from the Inquisition helped. He was more sure of capturing King Rex's messenger, but these two guys were extremely murderous. , actually ordered to massacre everyone in Qinglong Stone Town. If the target appears half a day later, tomorrow morning, the place will be surrounded by a large army.

"Old guy? Hey, the chief judge won't argue with you." The two black butlers smiled dryly, and the red priest was half angry. However, most of the manpower mobilized this time were obtained by the referee. Although his status here is high, he cannot completely control it.

Another white-faced black deacon said: "My Lord Bishop, there is no point in worrying about them. We can't control those fanatical believers. It's better to complete the task quickly and beat us away, and you will be quiet."

"Nonsense!" The red-clothed priest is a bishop, but he has no way to deal with the lunatic in the Inquisition. Black Butler's status is below him, but only the chief referee has the authority to deal with it. Even the Pope has to hand these two guys into the hands of the chief referee.

"Then let's stop talking nonsense and lay a trap." The two black butlers bowed and retreated.

The cardinal stood under the statue, which was smeared with blood and hundreds of corpses piled behind it, which made him feel a little sick. God's will is not like this. The people of Qin Yin are just lost lambs. They should be cherished and transformed, not killed.

In the town of Qinglong Stone, the huge divine formation was written. More than forty people in linen clothes put away their pens and looked up at the sky. The sky is overcast, but it won't rain. This huge formation can last for twelve hours. Once it rains, it will be washed away. Can't even last an hour.

More than ten miles away, Salin's team slowly approached. For the one hundred and twenty cavalrymen of the Royal Swordsman Battalion, and the other eight were adjourned, the fifty soldiers of Salin and Aini were sandwiched in the middle. There's nothing much to say about these fifty soldiers. Those in the Royal Swordsman Battalion are no less skilled than them, and their equipment is much better. Of course they have something to be proud of.

And they are Aini's personal soldiers. Protecting Aini is the first thing. You can't compete with others for position just for the sake of fighting spirit.

Aini's parents had seen big scenes and were not impressed. The Royal Swordsmen Battalion did not send any mages. If they really fought, it would be impossible to face the enemy alone without Salin and others.

It will take at least ten minutes to enter the Blue Dragon Stone. If the Holy See sends people to block the road outside, Prince Sephiroth's soldiers will be blocked for a period of time. This period of time is enough for the magician to cast a powerful magic.

It is not easy to be a bait. They have had head-on conflicts with people from the Holy See, and they know that only magicians are the best choice to restrain the magicians.

Salin and Aini walked side by side, and his elemental eyes could clearly see the blue dragon stone city wall. Qinglongshi is not a militarized town. The city wall is to defend against monsters and ordinary thieves. It is only over five meters high. There was not a single figure inside the open city gate. There are no traces of magic or magic above the Blue Dragon Stone. The enemy is preparing to fight on the ground.

A faint light shone in a square hole on the tower, which was the light reflected from equipment such as alchemical telescopes. Even though the crystal lens has been coated, it cannot be hidden from Saleen's elemental eye.

"Ani, there are a lot of people in the city. You have to prepare your magic and summon the skeleton soldiers first."

Aini said depressingly: "Divine magic has some restraints on undead magic. The level of skeleton soldiers is too low and can be easily purified. It would be a waste to release them. Moreover, dead skeleton soldiers cannot be resurrected as undead. It will cost me to summon them again." It’s time.”

"I know, but the people in the Holy See are not so stupid. They must have prepared magic traps to entertain us. This type of magic is easily affected by other magics. If the enemy uses radiant magic to purify your body, Skeleton, we need to delay the formation, and then Narnia and I can prepare powerful magic to destroy their formation."

"What if they don't cleanse my skeleton?"

"Wouldn't that be better? If you go head-to-head, I don't believe there are any strong people lurking here. Their highest level is no more than you and me." Salin was very confident, but he didn't know that waiting in front was a Cardinal, the status of a cardinal is slightly lower than that of a cardinal, but there is no difference in power or strength. He has the power to compete with a seventh-level magician. Different from magicians, some magicians are not rich. After advancing to magicians, they become much poorer. But behind the cardinal is the behemoth of the Holy See, and he will definitely not be without suitable and powerful equipment. .

"Okay, I'll prepare fifty skeletons. I just hope what you said is right." Ai Zu said and glanced at his father.
