"How many times have I said that Cinderella and the demons of the Lost City are above my country, and I will definitely lead my troops to destroy them. Miss Knight, please stop pestering me all the time, okay?"
Dane said this very helplessly.
The tall female knight in front of her, with a silver-white full body armor with gold trim, couldn't completely block that exquisite figure, with a pretending serious face, she kept telling Dane to go immediately. Hearing the importance of the demons that were exterminated, Dane was bothered and helpless.
Dane's explanation must not satisfy the female knight. She only heard her say: "Lord Dane, I believe you know better than me the terrible situation in Lost City and Cinderella. Those demons have turned the city that originally belonged to us humans into a demon lair. The demons attacking everywhere, let Countless innocent civilians are under threat to their lives at all times. As Schindler's Governor, you uphold the honor, how can you use various excuses to delay?"
I couldn't help rubbing the space between my eyebrows with my hands. This kind of conversation has been carried out many times. The perseverance of the female knight did not move Dane at all.
The glory of bullshit, it is absolutely wishful thinking to want Dane to break his plan and attack those demons in advance.
Although, he has already reached an agreement with Bickley to share Cinderella's spoils, the Shire will contribute money, and he will contribute troops. But the timetable for the war will definitely not be the present in March, and it will have to be scheduled for summer at the earliest.
Only then will he be sure that he can push his main army to the size of ten thousand people, plus the Beast Blood Fort army left by Oze and led by Knight Elder, will he be able to subdue the army at this moment. Those ghost-minded guys in Beast Blood Castle and Ice Cave City.
Only after the affairs in the north and east are settled, Dane will really consider attacking Lost City and Cinderella.
Before that, he would never act impulsively. Otherwise, it would be easy for the territory that had just recovered its vitality to be under tremendous pressure again.
Anyway, he now holds a huge sum of almost 400,000 gold coins in his hand. Even if it is borrowed, it is enough for him to use this money to improve his strength to a higher level in the past six months.
The crazy ones rushed to fight those demons in a hurry. Anyway, the treasures of Cinderella and Lost City will not run away, with those demons guarding them, Dane is very relieved.
However, the young knight in front of her had to hurry away. She herself was fine, but the identity she represented did make Dane a little scruples.
The Holy See, which is the largest religion in the world today, has an unrivaled influence in human society. Although Dane is far away in Schindler, the Holy See has almost no real power in this land, and the Heavenly King and I can't control Dane, but if you can't offend them, don't offend them.
Religion is a thing, once you go crazy...
Thinking about fooling the girl opposite, Dane immediately thought of a way.
The Underworld of Comilla.
"Ahem..." Dane coughed twice, and the expression on his face became serious—this was the prelude to his plan to fool people.
However, the naive girl knight didn't know Dane's temperament. On the contrary, after seeing Dane's rare serious face, she thought that Dane was going to really face up to the question she raised, and she was also sitting upright.
"The question of the devil, we can put it aside for a while..."
When the girl knight heard this sentence, she was about to interrupt immediately, but was suppressed by what Dane said next:
"Knight Freya, have you heard of the old ruler?"
Freya opened her eyes wide and asked, "You mean the old god?"
From the look of this girl, Dane knew she was hooked.
"yes."
"Could it be that there are still traces of followers of the old gods in your territory, Lord Dayne?"
Dane said: "Yes, I think that is a more worthy target than demons, and it is also more difficult."
Freya was obviously bluffed by Dane. According to the teachings of the gods, pagans, demons, etc., are enemies, but all enemies are inferior to the believers of the old gods. This is not only true for the believers of Fran, the Lord of Holy Light, any god in the main world regards the old ruler as the enemy of life and death.
It's just that the believers of the old gods haven't ventured too far in this world for many years. The most spectacular emergence dates back to one or two hundred years ago. It is said that on the Argus Plateau, in the territory of the Northern Alliance, there once appeared an organization that believed in [Void Wind] Umelista, but it soon disappeared. It was wiped out.
In the world, there are almost no religious organizations that truly believe in the old gods. The power of the old gods seems to have completely faded from this world.
But despite this, for any religious organization of gods on the ground, attacking the old rulers is still the first goal of all churches.
Freya immediately realized that this is indeed a more important and urgent matter than demons.
Dane snickered inwardly.
What he said about the Old Ones, of course, refers to the dungeon under Comilla and the Faceless Ones in the dungeon. In order to get rid of the priests represented by Freya, Dane decided to let them go to the underground world to deal with the Faceless Ones.
Anyway, except for Dane and those hardcore men who followed Dane in the early days, no one knew that there was another dungeon occupied by the faceless people in the underground of Comilla. Let these priests with lights on their bodies go underground to take risks. It is also a good thing to kill a few more faceless men.
As for whether Sombra's secrets will be discovered, or whether the Faceless Ones will be brought to the surface, Dane is not worried.
For the former, Comilla has already become a well-known producer of black crystals, so it doesn't matter at all. As Governor of Schindler, Dayne is capable of holding his own. As for the latter, if it was one or two years ago, when Dane's power was just taking shape, he might be afraid, but now, he is not at all cowardly.
Perhaps, in a dungeon with a population of about 40,000, it would be unreliable for Dane to take the initiative to attack. However, he now occupies an important exit from the underground to the surface world, and this narrow exit is simply not enough for those faceless to take advantage of their numbers. Dane only needs to be at the entrance of the cave, and a small amount of troops is enough.
In fact, in the past six months, the underground world of Comilla has not been without riots.
