Zola was surrounded by four Warcraft swordsmen who had joined him. These people were all senior swordsmen at the time. They had been helping Salin train soldiers, and they were doing a very good job. wWw、QuAnBen-XIaoShuo、COm
"Master, you don't know, these four people have been trained quite crazy, and now they are all quasi-sword masters. Let Sister Sika be the leader, and the four of them will assist, so that Sister Sika doesn't have to face those annoying people every day. The devil."
Nailisi prevents Sikka from staying in Castlevania all year round, also to let her tie Salin to prevent Salin from being seduced by other women. This is her little selfishness, but it actually does no harm to Sika.
As Shika is a priest, naturally a large number of Caucasians come to seek refuge. Now the number of earth priests is estimated to be less than that of level 10 professionals. Of course, Caucasians are willing to come to Metatrin City. South of Metatrin City, there is a mountainous area where you can live in a climate similar to the Caucasus. The number of monsters in the mountainous area is sufficient because they have not been hunted in large numbers. These are things that Caucasians like. With Sika's development like this, it is not difficult to become a nature priest. There is no need to hang around in Castlevania. "Okay, then go and talk to the four of them and tell them how to deal with daily affairs, but Sikka..."
"I'll explain it to Sister Sika personally." Nailis agreed with a smile. She found that as long as she formed an alliance with Shikar, no one could put their hands on Salin, except for that skeleton...
Salin sent Nailis away, took out more than 80 kinds of magical beasts captured by the Winged Skeleton from the Demon God's Ring, and began to study the magic patterns of these magical beasts.
Saleen has made up his mind to take advantage of the opportunity to study these magic patterns and natural magic circles to advance to the seventh level of magician.
Saleen is concentrating on training, Daniel is in charge of the city hall, and the arena is also intensifying construction. Metatrin City has temporarily calmed down, but Holy Rock City and Sacred City cannot calm down no matter what.
Holy Rock City, Prince's Mansion. There are six Dukes of the House of Commons and six Dukes of the House of Lords gathered here in Sephiroth. The war in Garulan was at a stalemate, and Sephiroth no longer avoided suspicion and took charge personally.
This time, Sephiroth was not studying the battle situation, but the newly emerged kingdom north of Phoenix.
"Ministers, Dinisio sent an expeditionary force of 125,000 to Metatrin City, but the whole army was wiped out. What do you think of this?" Sephiroth's face was very ugly because of the battle at the Garulan border. , defeated Lei one after another. Although Qin Yin's losses were far lower than those of the Tanggulas Empire, it still failed to regain any commendable large cities.
Taiyin's army entered Garulan and was often beaten back within a hundred miles. Instead, the army of his niece, King Rex, has appeared in the southeast of Jialulan. They entered Jialulan from the path behind Kushui County, and they also conquered a piece of land and built a high city.
It’s understandable that Rex has many mages available at a high level, but what about Metatrin City? Does it take two years to build the city? It was a travesty for Qin Yin's army to be able to kill 125,000 expeditionary troops without leaving any trace behind.
"Your Highness, the Holy See has mobilized its troops and marched for more than 20,000 miles, and its strength has been weakened to the extreme. Metatrin City is waiting for work and has an absolute advantage." A Duke defended. The twelve Dukes present here have all sent troops to fight in Garulan, and of course they find this comparison intolerable.
"Really?" Sephiroth sneered: "The 125,000 troops were completely wiped out, including 5,000 jailers from the Inquisition, which is equivalent to the most elite troops in our Royal Swordsman Battalion. Do you understand? Do you understand the meaning of annihilation? Let me tell you, there is news from Guderian City that Nicholas, the ninth-level red archbishop who led the Holy See Expeditionary Force, rebelled against the Holy See, became a fallen magician, and took refuge in Metatrin City. "What?" "Impossible!"
The Dukes made an uproar. How could a red archbishop betray the Holy See? At least half of the people who have climbed to this position have already had the opportunity to compete for the pinnacle of power of the Pope. "That's what happened. The information is absolutely correct." Sephiroth's words shocked the Dukes. This is the first time such a thing has happened in the thousand years since the founding of the Holy See. "Your Highness, we need to be wary of Metatrin City. That Salin, I heard, has proclaimed himself the king and established his own kingdom. Why don't we send troops to conquer it."
"Nonsense." Sephiroth said angrily: "If this thing hasn't happened yet, of course we can go to conquer it, but he killed 125,000 people from the Holy See to go on an expedition, and if we go to attack him again, we are just slapping ourselves in the mouth." "
The Dukes also calmed down. Sephiroth was right. They were on the same front as him now. What reason did Holy Rock City use to conquer it
"Moreover, the surname Metatrin was indeed prominent in the Fourth Dynasty. This person should be a descendant of the Metatrin family. There is no need to worry about his identity. What we have to do is how to use this opportunity." "Your Highness, the Red Archbishop's betrayal will definitely make the Holy See furious and will separate
Soldiers, go attack Metatrin City, we can only wait for the opportunity. "Wait? Haven't you waited long enough? Look at the situation in Garulan. It's all in disarray!" Sephiroth was really angry. It was okay that he couldn't control the southern nobles, but even these guys in Holy Rock City didn't try their best. The elite soldiers on the Garulan border are all from Holy Rock City itself, and the nobles seem to be making small calculations. "If we all can't work together, I have no choice but to follow my brother's example and conquer Garulan myself. I won't be able to destroy it on the battlefield!" Sephiroth said this, and the Dukes looked ashamed.
"I have decided to capture Garulan before winter. Ministers, how many troops do you plan to send?" Sephiroth was impatient. These nobles didn't understand. They thought they could always stalemate the war at the Garulan border. If you don't attack, once your army is exhausted, the Tanggulas Empire will quickly increase its troops and sweep across the entire northern Qinyin.
Seeing the King of Qin exerting various efforts, the Dukes had no choice but to agree, each adding 100,000 troops and obeying Sephiroth's dispatch.
This means that Sephiroth has another 120,000 elite troops and can attack in two directions. It turns out that the 100,000 elite soldiers of Holy Rock City are attacking in another direction. If the Holy See divides its troops to deal with Metatlin City, the situation will be opened up immediately. "In addition, His Majesty has decided to send envoys to Metatrin City to exchange credentials and recognize the status of Metatrin City Kingdom." Sephiroth said with a sullen face. "Your Highness, you must not do this!" The atmosphere that had calmed down immediately became tense. These people were only loyal to the Holy Rock City and did not understand the emperor's actions. "What's wrong?"
"Your Highness, Metatrin City is obviously not weak, and it is close to Phoenix. Phoenix's resentment towards us cannot be eliminated even now. Once Metatrin establishes its position, what will happen if Phoenix falls over?" Sephiroth sighed. He breathed a sigh of relief. Although these nobles were selfish, they finally understood. He was also worried about such a thing, but if the emperor wanted to do this, what reason did he have to object? "Grand Duke Phoenix is in our hands, so there is no need to consider this issue for the time being. Everyone, His Majesty asked me to choose one person to negotiate with Metatrin City. Who among you will go?" Seeing no one answer, Sephiroth said: "In this case, I will designate one."
The Dukes were helpless. No one wanted to do this. It might be dangerous. However, according to Qin Tu's laws, it is possible to invite a royal magician to accompany him. "Balder, I will leave your responsibility to my deputy for the time being and visit Metatrin City." Sephiroth pointed at the youngest Duke.
Balder nodded and said: "Your Highness, I dare not disobey orders, but...how many mages can your Majesty send to protect my safety?"
"I will go and tell His Majesty that a magician and four great magicians will be assigned to you. I will ask Vincent to select 200 elite soldiers from the army to accompany you to protect you. You can also bring 200 people yourself, plus an honor guard. There should be no problem with the one thousand soldiers."
Balder did some calculations and found that 1,400 elites, plus four great magicians and a magician, could indeed be considered a powerful envoy group. However, it seems that it is not safe enough. He has to pass through Phoenix. If any of the Phoenix Jin people go crazy, it is not impossible to take action against the envoys of Holy Rock City. Who allowed Archduke Phoenix to be destroyed without any explanation, in Holy Rock City
"Guderian City will also send two flag regiments to protect you. Is that enough?" Sephiroth said impatiently. However, he also knew that he was different from these dukes. As a ninth-level professional and a golden swordsman, he rarely planned for safety. However, even if these nobles have practiced swordsmanship, they are only at the level of swordsmen and are extremely concerned about their own safety. "Your Highness r-1r-
Balder, don't shirk, Guderian City cannot send out too many troops. In this way, I will write to Metatrin City in advance and ask them to send troops to pick you up. If you are worried about something happening in Fenikejin - 111
"Your Highness, I'm going, I'm going!" Balder quickly defended. Although this kind of thing is dangerous, it is also political capital. It is not without benefits. The prince is already trying to get a lot of convenience for him. The deployment of troops from Guderian City is a proof.
"When you go to Metatrin City, you have to inquire about the truth and see what's going on there. The news about the merchant's return is always unreliable. You go to the palace now. His Majesty also wants to tell you other things. You We need to handle it properly." Sephiroth's expression softened. He remembered that Balder's child was still young and if something happened, the family would be in a lot of trouble, so he did not continue to scold the Duke.
In the palace, Ojarvis is receiving the heads of the four major families, that is, the four court earls.
The Tiffany family, the Roland family, the Williams family, and the Clyde family, these four families have a huge amount of wealth, but they lack political power. Everything is in the hands of the royal family.
Ojarvis looked at the four old guys and said slowly: "I know that there are disciples in your family who separated and took refuge in that Salin. What I mean is that you don't want to pursue it." (To be continued, Lu Read!)H! ~!
