If there is anyone who hopes to end this war as soon as possible, it is undoubtedly the great mage Cecilia of the Montita Kingdom.
Although the Kingdom of Montita has achieved successive victories, and although the people of the grassland have never been as high-spirited as they are now, for Cecilia, what she saw was a problem that the Kingdom of Montita has been unable to overcome for decades. trauma.
Every time a city was conquered, although the people of Montita Grassland had already left before the large group of people from the Kaoqi Kingdom hurriedly arrived, Cecilia saw that the returning team was already missing hundreds of people. Warrior, no one knows better than her what these hundreds of strong young people mean to the Montita Kingdom. Maybe that is the hope of an entire tribe, and maybe their death means that the grassland will be lost forever. A tribe.
The continuous battles may be a series of exciting victories for the soldiers who are immersed in the joy of revenge, but for the great mage Cecelia, they mean more and more sacrifices and sacrifices. wounded.
The Montita Legion, which penetrates deeply into the Kingdom of Kaoqi every day, launches at least a dozen waves of attacks, and as many as dozens of attacks a day and night. What is equivalent to the huge harvest is the number of casualties that makes Cecelia feel terrified. Thousands of soldiers threw their lives away in this foreign land every day, which made Cecelia feel extremely sad.
But what worried her even more was the people of Montita Prairie who were dazzled by the victory.
The Great Mage Cecilia is very worried that these grassland people who pursue honor and yearn for revenge will make the grassland shed every last drop of blood.
She often wonders whether this is because the people of Montita, who have been oppressed for many years, take this opportunity to vent their resentment against the Kingdom of Kaoqi, or whether it is because of those evil fairies who are afraid of chaos in the world and regard human life as extremely low. They are doing something behind their backs.
In fact, so far, the great mage Cecelia has always been wary of these goblins. These evil creatures that can easily control people's hearts not only make her feel creepy, but also make her wonder whether they have ulterior motives for participating in the war.
If she could win without relying on the power of these fairies, the great mage Cecilia would definitely reject the help of these fairies immediately, but unfortunately, she knew very well that without these fairies, without them commanding every Montita Legion, without their ability to control spirit and will, the improvised army of 600,000 from the Kingdom of Montita would probably be easily overwhelmed by the vast sea of people from the Kingdom of Kaoqi.
The Kingdom of Kaoqi has countless cities with a population of more than 100,000, and almost every city has thick walls and numerous guards. All of those guards are wearing armor made of fine steel. The scimitar of the Montita people is simply unable to These thick armors were cut through at once, and the Kaoqi soldiers never lacked powerful weapons in their hands. Heavy crossbows and explosive bombs were almost equipped in the hands of every soldier.
Compared with them, the Montita people's equipment is much cruder. Including the funding from the Kingdom of Leiding and the armor captured from the Kaoqi people, the total number of usable armors is less than 10,000 pieces. These extremely precious armors can only be used Distributed to those vanguard attackers on the front line and soldiers with mines.
The more precious thing is undoubtedly those thunders. Cecelia knows very well that once all the thunders are used up, the end of the Montita Army will come.
Although the Kingdom of Leiding shipped another batch of mines, there was no way for these mines to be distributed to the soldiers.
All of this made Cecelia very eager to share peace with the Kingdom of Kaoqi. Because of this, Cecilia received the envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Kaoqi very solemnly. Compared with the treatment received by the envoy of the Kaoqi Kingdom who was chopped into several pieces in the City in the Clouds, this is obviously very different.
Regarding the peace negotiations, the only voice of opposition came from the crazy and powerful eldest princess, who unexpectedly came from her. Apparently, she was not convinced that the Kaoqi people had ordered her laboratory to do so when they raided the City in the Clouds. The destruction still lingered in his mind.
The task of persuading Chris fell on Angel. Perhaps it was a miracle that came to the world. Angel actually successfully completed the mission, and she temporarily calmed Chris's anger.
After negotiating all the matters with the envoy, and sending the envoy to the Kingdom of Kaoqi, Cecilia also used her power to send a temporary truce to the Kingdom of Sophie, thousands of miles away. Information.
…
The endless desert in the distance was still exactly the same as when the mission passed by, but a sudden storm temporarily halted the battle.
In the temporarily built fortress, in the conference hall covered by thick soil, Magician McCallum was looking at his proud disciple, and on the seats beside him were the Paladins Pastin and Mary. In addition to the Toast Magician, Jerry, a good-for-nothing quartermaster, sat in an inconspicuous corner. Bertina, who was supposed to attend this meeting, did not appear here because she wanted to personally treat the wounded and boost morale.
Paladin Pastin was quite disapproving of the fact that Bertina did not appear, but instead the opportunistic and slippery Jerry appeared here. On the contrary, Magician McCallum and Magician Mados seemed very calm.
"A truce? Cecelia has indeed ceased war with the Kingdom of Kaoqi? Has the Kingdom of Kaoqi really sent an envoy to sue for peace?" Paladin Pastin asked anxiously, and the Montita Legion with the help of the goblin clan In comparison, the advancement of the western front was obviously not smooth.
Although it has an absolute advantage in terms of magicians and air battleships, the legions of the Kingdom of Sophie are unfortunately commanded by a commander with chivalry and principles.
And this young magic knight obviously never thought of using their superior magicians and air fleet to massacre the civilians of the Kaoqi Kingdom.
Although the magicians and the huge aerial fleet with almost no opponents almost razed one Kaoqi's strong fortresses one after another, the Kaoqi people who held on to their territory also showed a strong and tenacious spirit.
Those Kaoqi soldiers are still clinging to every fortress that has been reduced to ruins. They use their own flesh and blood to defend the safety and dignity of Kaoqi.
This kind of courage and sacrifice even admired the knights of Sophie's Legion. It is for this reason that both Kate and Pastin hope that peace can come to the world again.
"Could this be a trap? Could it be that the Kaoqi people want to take this opportunity to get some breathing space?" Jerry in the corner next to him suddenly interjected.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Kate frowned and said slowly. At this moment, he did have some dignity as the commander-in-chief of the entire army.
"Teacher, in your opinion, are the Kaoqi people sincere? Are they using tricks to reverse the situation of the war, or are they truly requesting negotiations for the sake of peace?" the young commander asked respectfully.
"The Kaoqi people are cunning by nature, and it is difficult to guess the true purpose in their hearts with just a few words." Magician Corens shook his head and said. Compared with his disciples, because of the murder of Master Naga, he had no regard for the Kaoqi people. The slightest favor.
"Perhaps only by detecting the brain of His Majesty the Emperor can we really give an accurate answer." Magician Corens added, and suddenly he glanced at the god of Hades who had been sitting next to him without saying a word. Reduced soldiers.
"Mados, my old friend, you should tell me what you think." Magician Corens asked.
"As a warrior of Hades, I naturally hope that the gods I believe in can gain as many subjects as possible, so if someone asks me for advice, I will say please be prepared to launch the final attack."
The words spoken by Magician Mados made everyone feel incomprehensible, especially Magician Corens, who knew the old magician very well. He looked at his friend with strange eyes.
"Could the peace talks be completely broken down? Are the Kaoqi people really planning to use the peace talks to delay time?" Paladin Pastin said worriedly.
"These are not things that I can know. Maybe the peace talks will not really proceed at all. Maybe something more important is about to happen." At this point, the god of Hades closed his mouth, and he seemed to have turned into a statue. It's like a statue, and you can't even feel the breath of life.
No one knew what the magician Mados saw, but the death-like silence seemed to tell them something.
After a while, the silent magician Mados suddenly said softly in an unusually melodious voice that seemed not to come from the human world: "The ancient grudges and ancient hatreds will all have a final end. The fate of The wheel will slide onto a completely new track.”
Regarding those gibbering words, only Paladin Pastin felt as if he had fallen into the clouds, but Collins and Kate seemed to have captured some of the hidden meanings, especially Kate. When he was in Vedsk, he became acquainted with the chief priest Meron, so he heard his prophecies from Meron several times.
Those prophecies are very similar to what the magician Mados said at this moment.
As for the revelations from the gods who could predict the future, Kate never dared to be a little negligent. He thought for a moment, and the sadness on his face suddenly disappeared. He raised his head and glanced at the former leader of the Royal Knights next to him. He said categorically: "Lord Pastin, please ask the soldiers to prepare as soon as possible. We will do our best to launch the last attack. This attack will determine the final fate of us and the Kaoqi Kingdom. The time when the attack starts will be It is determined to be one hour after the peace talks between the Kingdom of Kaoqi and the Kingdom of Montita begin.”
Just as Kate was issuing the order, suddenly the Mados magician next to him once again said in a low voice: "Maybe there is no need to use bloodshed and sacrifice to achieve the final settlement between us and the Kaoqi Kingdom. It is the last glory that a knight can have. Perhaps it is a more appropriate choice to end the era of knights with a dazzling ending."
This time not only Kate had no way of knowing what the magician Mados was referring to, but even Collins felt confused.
…
In Ka'aoqi in late autumn, gusts of cold wind swept across the earth. As far as the eye could see, the surrounding mountains and fields were shrouded in the yellow-brown color of dead leaves.
The cold wind also blew the leaves off the branches, and the thick leaves covered the ground. It was a dilapidated and desolate scene. Looking at the fallen leaves under his feet, Enleco couldn't help but think of the time when he came from the Kaoqi Kingdom. The sight of escape.
Back then, he was driving a two-wheeled light traveling carriage and sleeping among the fallen leaves in the mountains at night. While escaping nervously, he was also enjoying the joy of freedom. This scene seemed to be right before his eyes.
Enleco sat cross-legged on the ground, watching every move in the distance with his omnipresent eyes. In the distance, surrounded by green smoke, a huge and magnificent tent rose from the ground, similar to the one originally built in Monti. Compared with the tent used for negotiation on the tower grassland, this tent is obviously much more majestic and indeed has a royal look.
Sitting quietly on the low hillside, surrounded by clumps of dwarf pine trees, only this kind of tree still has a pleasing green color in this season.
The dense needle-shaped leaves of the dwarf pine cover this area tightly. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to find a person hidden in this forest even if you are close to you.
This dense forest also blocks the sight of the people hiding in it, but for Enleco, these obstacles are nothing at all, because his eyes are no longer blocked by these things, as long as there is light and shadow Anywhere he can be penetrated by his gaze.
At this moment, Enleco was staring closely at the negotiators sent by the Kaoqi Kingdom. What surprised him was that the supreme emperor actually came to conduct peace talks in person.
Is the Kaoqi Kingdom really planning to live in peace with the Montita people? Is the war really about to cease completely
This thought made Enleco quite happy. In fact, he did not want to be an enemy of the Kaoqi Kingdom. Although the Kaoqi Kingdom had repeatedly forced him, making him embark on a road of escape that was difficult to turn back, but in all fairness , Enleco has a strange fondness for this country.
In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, he has never lacked enemies, but relatively speaking, he probably has the largest number of friends, whether they are the great mage Kobe Leo and his assistants, the court mages in red robes, or the holy knights. The members of the regiment, not to mention the people he met in Stryer County, they will always be friends that cannot be forgotten in Enleco's heart.
In addition, the Kingdom of Kaoqi has another meaning for Enleco. It is the stage where he began to show his talent and became glorious and noble. It can be said that it was the trip to Kaoqi that made him what he is now. With everything he had, Enleco had never forgotten the trust His Majesty the Emperor had given him. At that time, among his compatriot Sophie and Her Royal Highness Princess Frannie, in the eyes of Joe, he was probably just a man who could be manipulated at will. of little people.
Looking at the Emperor who once valued him, Enleco felt a little unable to calm down. If there was anyone he least wanted to be his enemy, then the Emperor must be one of them.
And another person who he absolutely did not want to be an enemy was standing next to His Majesty the Emperor. For Milinda, a woman who was extremely different and difficult for him to understand, Enleco was filled with an indescribable emotion in his heart. .
He has never forgotten the days when he was trapped in the Kaoqi Palace. The only thing he could recall during those days was the crazy time he spent with Milinda.
Although at that time, Milinda, a strange woman with special interests, definitely had no good intentions. Obviously, as the famous second pervert in the Kingdom of Kaoqi, she had evil intentions towards her self-clothed woman, Miss Fenasia. An attempt, but Enleco knew after all that he was the one who really took advantage of this matter, and it was definitely not Milinda.
In a sense, Milinda may be regarded as the first woman he has ever really touched. Regarding this absolutely unique first time, Enleco sometimes can't help but recall it. Whenever that Sometimes, he even had a strangely sweet feeling.
The emperor and the Kaoqi Kingdom both attended the peace negotiation ceremony, and Enleco gradually felt that this peace negotiation was very likely to succeed.
If peace can really come between the Kingdom of Kaoqi and the Kingdom of Montita, then all he needs to do is to do everything possible to bridge the resentment and sadness between the people of the two countries.
When Enleco was thinking full of thoughts about what he should do after the peace talks were successful, he suddenly felt a strange magic wave coming from deep and deep underground, but it was just a very slight disorder. , almost instantly everything returned to its calm state.
Enleco didn't pay much attention to this small and inconspicuous magic fluctuation. He focused all his attention on the tent in the distance.
Although there is a group of members of the Holy Knights standing around this tent, the armors they wear are obviously not used for actual combat, and Enleco has carefully inspected them. There is no hidden murderous intention in these armors. The weapons of these Holy Knights are other than theirs. Apart from the sword at his waist and the tomahawk hanging at his side, there were no other overly dangerous weapons, nor any dangerous items such as explosives that could arouse his suspicion.
Besides the current chief mage of the palace, Drekes, the only person standing next to Emperor Kaoqi and responsible for guarding him was the evil mage Trode, who had a close friendship with him.
Enleco didn't find it difficult to understand that these two super magicians would serve as Emperor Kaoqi's bodyguards. This was originally reasonable.
As for the failure of the great wizard Kobe Leo to appear, Enleco had also expected it. After all, a powerful forbidden spell mage like the great wizard Kobe Leo would be better off showing off and displaying it. Let him hide aside so that he can deal heavy and fatal attacks to the enemy at any time.
In fact, Cecelia had the same intention of hiding herself in this unobtrusive place. Using the Forbidden Curse Mage to restrain and counter the Forbidden Curse Mage was obviously the most appropriate and correct choice.
Enleco did not intend to find any way to find the great wizard Kobe Leo. He knew very well that if there was no definite direction, it would be in vain. Although the new power he just possessed could see through everything, However, this world is so vast that even if you want to search the surrounding area carefully, it is definitely not easy. Moreover, if the other party deliberately wants to hide his whereabouts, hiding will always be much easier than searching.
Suddenly, another strange wave of magic came from the ground, and this time the energy of the wave was much stronger than before. Just when Enleco was confused, suddenly a burst of teleportation magic flashed in the tent in the distance. The magic energy fluctuated, and a magician hurriedly came out of the teleportation magic circle. He quickly ran to Horkels III's side, as if he was actually reporting something important.
This immediately aroused Enleco's alert. He focused all his attention on the expression of His Majesty the Emperor, completely forgetting the strange magic fluctuation just now.
Another wave of magic waves came, and this time the energy of the magic waves seemed to be immediately closer to the surface. However, Enleco didn't notice this at all at this moment. He only saw another magician hurriedly coming out of the magic circle. When he came out, he looked equally panicked.
Just when Enleco was confused, he suddenly felt that someone was talking to him through telepathy.
The person who spoke was none other than Cecelia. Apparently she had also discovered what had happened to the Kaoqi people.
"Is it possible that there is civil strife in the Kingdom of Kaoqi? Is it possible that Hegeero and Somyret do not want the peace talks to succeed and are causing trouble behind the scenes?" Cecilia asked quietly.
"I can't be sure, but since someone has tipped off Horkels III, I'm afraid it may not be Hegeelo and Somyret who are behind the scenes. If it is the plan arranged by those two, they will definitely have pre-arrangement to cut off the information. The two of them are experts in requesting reinforcements, and the assassination of Master Naga and Joe is enough to prove this." Enleco quickly replied.
The magic fluctuated one after another, and each time a magician was teleported to the negotiation camp through the temporarily built teleportation magic circle.
Enleco had already regarded the somewhat abnormal magic fluctuation as a magic leakage caused by the improvised teleportation magic circle that was not adequate and reliable.
This is not difficult to understand. In such a hurry, such mistakes are inevitable.
What really worried Enleco was whether there was really chaos in the Kingdom of Kaochi, and what worried him even more was that he didn't know whether the civil strife in the Kingdom of Kaochi would affect the Kingdom of Kaochi and the Kingdom of Montita. peace negotiations.
Enleco didn't let go of any change in his expression. He even wished that he had more than just being able to see through everything. It would be great if he could hear distant sounds.
At this moment, he began to miss the scene when he had the Ring of Sanction. It was undeniable that the Ring of Sanction and the evil magic taught by Most were indeed very useful, especially in the current situation. The significance is absolutely immeasurable.
After talking for a long time, the magicians seemed to have received the order and headed towards the teleportation magic circle. After a burst of violent magic fluctuations, everything returned to its original calm. The only difference from before was that The teleportation magic circle kept emitting magic energy in all directions. It looked like a cauldron without a lid, or a door that was not tightly closed.
Enleco also didn't pay much attention to these, because at this moment, his attention was already focused on his own side.
Compared with the negotiators of the Kingdom of Kaoqi, the representatives of the Kingdom of Montita are not inferior in any way. Although the upright and just official is not very qualified as the king, his status as king is after all a subject of Montita. given.
As the queen, Cecelia is no less inferior than the strange pervert in the Kingdom of Kaoqi.
Enleco even guessed that if the two monarch couples fought on the spot, his father-in-law, the judge king, would most likely be defeated first. The key to victory or defeat may depend on whether Milinda can quickly subdue the big brother. Sorcerer Cecilia.
However, if the strength of the bodyguards is included, then victory must belong to the Kingdom of Montita, because the bodyguard on Montita's side is his wife and teacher. Chrissy's terror is not just her bad temper and crazy character. Her strength is enough to make her stand proudly at the top of the strong, and the only ones who can be her enemies are those inhuman things.
Enleco can be sure of at least one thing, that is, even if Drakes and Trode join forces, they will never be Chris's opponent. In addition, he also knows that even if Milinda takes action, it will not be able to use it. Her lightning-like skills restrained Chris, because Chris's brain and the nerves responsible for movement are somewhat different, which gives her superhuman reaction speed. In a sense, this guy It has transformed itself into a powerful and strange creature.
The arrival of Cecelia and her entourage meant the beginning of negotiations. Those holy knights raised the copper horns in their hands. The rough, low and long horn sound came from far away, even hiding on the hillside in the distance. Enleco could also vaguely hear the sound of the horn blowing.
…
Unlike Enleco, Cecilia is a woman after all, with a woman's carefulness and a woman's way of observing things. She has searched this pre-agreed negotiation place dozens of times, and she is absolutely sure There were no traps or mechanisms placed in this place, nor were there any imperceptible magical barriers. The only thing that made her feel a little suspicious was that the Kaoqi people actually put a lot of effort into making the place look full of spring.
The warm and moist air created by magic makes the land full of thriving green. In addition, flowers of different seasons are even planted there. The power of magic makes them bloom at the same time and show their beauty in the late autumn season. color and gesture.
All this is not a miracle that has never happened before. At the time of the engagement ceremony that ended sadly, the entire city of Vedsk was decorated and arranged in this way.
Could it be that the people of Kaoqi are too idle, and does the kingdom of Kaoqi like to have these ostentatious displays? Cecilia had no way of knowing this. The only thing she knew was that it was too hot here due to magic.
The steaming warm energy obviously comes from the earth, and the earth is like a huge furnace giving warmth to this land.
Full of questions, Cecelia accompanied her husband and walked into the makeshift camp. Judging from the smile of Emperor Kaoqi who greeted him, Cecilia could not see any conspiracy or conspiracy. The conspiracy is hidden in it, but there is this strange brilliance in the eyes of His Majesty. Cicelia does not find it strange or difficult to understand this strange woman with a bad reputation. After all, there is someone behind her. Standing there was an even more puzzling woman. Compared with Chris's quirks, this majesty might not be considered abnormal.
Cecelia faced His Majesty's somewhat strange and burning eyes calmly.
After a few polite greetings, the topic finally turned to the peace talks. His Majesty the Emperor obviously did not intend for the talks to turn into a place of continuous delays and all kinds of diplomatic rhetoric. He smiled lightly and said: " There are obviously some fatal misunderstandings between your country and ours. It is these misunderstandings that have stained our relationship with blood. If I remember correctly, the beginning of all conflicts came from our rebels who fled to your country. Your country's hosting of these rebels has made some of the ministers around me feel extremely panicked, because if this situation is not stopped, criminals in our country will become more and more rampant, because they will regard your country as their last protection umbrella, and as long as they flee When I come to your country, I can find peace.”
"It was this idea that caused the first friction between us. That unfortunate war killed hundreds of thousands of heroic soldiers, but compared with another disaster, this number was nothing. I am very It is understandable that when Your Majesty the Queen encountered an assassin who wanted to kill you, you immediately took the Kingdom of Kaoqi as the man behind it. This is human nature."
"But it was this sad misunderstanding and the intrusion and crash of the warship in Vedsk that caused dozens of civilians in Vedsk to lose their lives because of your country's air warship that invaded our country. The people are angry and sad. As the king of a country, you must also be able to understand the power it possesses."
"If your assassination is just a conjecture, then your country's invasion is obviously an undoubted fact. Under this circumstance, I have to make the decision to go to war with your country. However, from the bottom of my heart, I don’t want war to break out again, and I don’t want to see the people of our two countries die in pain in the war.”
"You should know very well that although I declared war on your kingdom, I never ordered Kaoqi's army to step out of Ander Fortress. I only declared war on your country in a symbolic way to appease the public's anger. , obviously misunderstood by your country."
"The most obvious consequence of this misunderstanding is your country's preemptive attack. The fall of Statham was undoubtedly a great military masterpiece, but your country obviously left no room for retreat. Nearly 100,000 people Innocent Kaoqi civilians lost their lives in your country's glorious military achievements, and the series of heartbreaking casualties that followed were obviously caused by this."
"Now we are sitting here to make up for all the mistakes we have made. Although it is too late now, it can help more people in your country and our country survive. After all, it is what we, the kings, should do. obligation."
The words of Horkels III sounded humble and gentle, but he had already put all the responsibility on the head of the Montita Kingdom.
Cecilia felt a little angry at Horkels III's apparently confusing words, but she also knew very well that this was not the time to argue or quarrel.
If restraint and tolerance can lead to peace, Cecilia is willing to use tolerance to face the emperor's words that confuse the truth.
"Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, if you can explain clearly why a small fleet of air battleships being tested on the City in the Clouds were hijacked by your country at the same time that Enleco and I were assassinated, maybe I can believe it. The assassin who is full of hatred for me was not ordered by your country."
"As for the warship that crashed in Vedsk, how do you say it came from the Montita Grassland? People who want to find a suitable excuse to launch a war can easily create various reasons, and there is no doubt that they will be attacked by the enemy. This is the best reason for people to support this war."
"I also feel sad for the people of Vedsk who lost their lives in this disaster, but my sadness goes more to those who were deceived."
"As for the tens of thousands of Kaoqi people who lost their lives in Stat Harbor, I believe that your country and our country have the same responsibility for their annihilation."
"Although we occupied the port, at least tens of thousands of residents in the port were still alive after the occupation. And in order to recapture the port, your country did not hesitate to let the blazing sea of fire engulf the port city. It was your country's crazy attack. Your people lost their lives."
"If you don't think that the unintentional massacre of your people is an irreparable crime, then you will definitely not think that burning Grant City with blazing fire and using bloody killings to deal with Montita The people of the grasslands are an unforgivable thing.”
"It was your country that started this war of massacre of civilians, and what makes me sad is that the killers dare not face the butcher knife in their hands. If your country is really sincere about this peace negotiation, please put everything aside. Admit with an open mind that you are the executioner who caused this cruel massacre." Cecelia said firmly.
The Montita Kingdom's refusal to give in had obviously been expected by His Majesty the Emperor. In fact, at this moment, he was still hesitant in his heart.
Although a huge trap has been laid, Horkels III also had another thought countless times - maybe the peace talks really need to be carried out, maybe it is not too late to end the war completely.
Two thoughts were constantly struggling and colliding in his mind, which made him seem a little absent-minded.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind broke through the warm magic barrier and broke in. A few green leaves and a delicate flower that had just opened floated in.
This sudden cold wind made the atmosphere that was originally a bit overheated slightly become colder. Everyone turned their attention to the outside of the tent. Only His Majesty the Emperor stared blankly at the small flowers floating on the table. He lightly Gently pick up the delicate flower, gently twist it with your fingers, and look at each petal. There is a layer of fine hairs on the petals, which is a characteristic of flowers that have just opened.
The flowers that had just opened looked particularly delicate. In just a moment, the originally warm and plump petals looked a little haggard and withered.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, this flower is still as delicate and beautiful as before, but in the artist-like eyes of Horkels III, this flower has lost its vitality and vitality.
With a flick of his finger, the flower swayed and fell to the ground. At this moment, Horkels III's expression seemed unusually calm, but there was obviously a strange sadness hidden in this calmness.
Turning his attention back to the negotiating table, the confrontation just now clearly made both sides understand the details of their opponents. This was an evenly matched contest, and the results of the contest proved that there was no gain in beating around the bush.
After the negotiations resumed, both His Majesty the Emperor and Cecilia seemed much more frank. For the Kingdom of Kaoqi, their only request was that the Montita people withdraw from the territory of Kaoqi.
Cecelia has no interest in occupying the territory of the Kaoqi Kingdom, but she does not want Ander Fortress to return to the hands of the Kaoqi people. This victory allowed her to see the power of the goblin clan. , omnipresent and unstoppable eyes, coupled with the ability to make every soldier feel like one, this is an almost unbreakable tactic. No matter how famous the opponent is, no matter how many advantages the enemy has, there will always be flaws and weaknesses exposed, and This tactic can easily identify these flaws and weaknesses.
A light blow can be fatal. This is the way for the Montita people to win. However, if you want to enter the Kingdom of Kaoqi, you must pass through the Ander Fortress, otherwise you have to transport the army from the sea to the place where the Port of Start was. , no matter which choice it is, it will be an adventure.
Cecelia is not worried about the Kaoqi Kingdom deploying heavy troops in these two places. What she is really worried about is that the Kaoqi people have sealed them tightly with traps and mines.
In the recent battles, the Kaoqi people have obviously discovered the wonderful use of traps, and it is not easy to see through all traps.
Another topic that caused a dispute between Cecelia and Horkels III was the withdrawal of the Kaoqi Legion from the territory of the Kingdom of Feltilan.
Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor has not yet known what role the Kingdom of Fetillan played in this war.
The regiments on the Fertilan front line suffered heavy losses due to continuous raids, and the high command has been treating this matter the same as the defeats on other fronts, blaming the new capabilities possessed by the Montitas. , as well as the mysterious and unknowable strange tactics.
But now it seems that the Kingdom of Fertilan has obviously made an agreement with the Kingdom of Montita in advance. Horcols III suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Whether it was him, Somilet and Haguero, they were all here. The Kingdom of Fetillan has planted countless informants, and the peripheral informants obtained through bribery and coercion are located in almost every corner of the Kingdom of Fetillan.
Horkels III has always been proud to believe that they know far more about the Kingdom of Fetillan than the Kingdom of Kaoqi itself.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all. Obviously, the Kingdom of Fertilan still hides some secrets that are unknown to them. Obviously, this country that seems to have been completely conquered still has a group of people who are trying to get rid of Ka'ao. People who rule strangely.
Although for Horkels III at this moment, whether or not to keep the Fetillan Kingdom seems to have little meaning, but he believes that agreeing too simply may arouse the suspicion of the great magician Cecilia.
The negotiation ended in fierce bargaining, and the final agreement obviously did not fully satisfy Cecilia.
First of all, she did not gain control of Ander Fortress, but Horkels III promised that soldiers would never be stationed within a hundred kilometers of Ander Fortress.
Similarly, Horkels III did not promise not to rebuild the harbor of Stadt. His Majesty the Emperor was only willing to promise that there would be no dock capable of berthing large-tonnage ships in the harbor of Stadt.
However, Cecilia also knew very well that this promise was meaningless at all. In fact, both she and the Emperor must know that it would be meaningless to use warships to block the narrow strait. They only It may become a target for air warships.
Even the final solution to the independence of the Kingdom of Fertillan was unsatisfactory. Although Horcols III agreed to withdraw the garrison of the Kingdom of Kaoqi, he in turn asked Cecilia how she could guarantee the independence of the Kingdom of Fertillan. The Kingdom of Ertilan enjoys freedom and independence, so why should the soldiers of the Kingdom of Kaochi be replaced by the legions of the Montita people
Cecelia knew quite well what role this symbolic withdrawal of troops could play, but she did not intend to quarrel with Horkels III on this matter again. After all, it belonged to the Fetillan people. The matter has little to do with the life safety of the Montita people.
In addition, she has a lot of opinions about the perverted Great Mage Yudesh who likes to voyeur. This guy who doesn't like to show up in person and always hides behind others and makes others bleed and sacrifice also makes Cecilia feel a little bit. resentment.
In Cecelia's view, it was quite good to be able to win such freedom for the Fetillan people. Because of this, she first made concessions on this clause.
When Horcols III and the king of Montita Prairie both signed their names on the peace agreement, the peace talks seemed to have been a complete success.
According to convention, negotiators should hug each other to express their sincerity to each other, but when the pervert Milinda opened her arms towards the great wizard Cecilia, the great wizard Cecilia He quickly took a few steps back and refused Milinda's hug.
This is partly because of Milinda's bad reputation, but more importantly, she does not intend to let a paladin get close to her. After all, at such a close distance, Cecelia has no confidence that she can dodge. There was a sudden attack from a paladin.
Milinda seemed quite disappointed with Cecelia's rejection.
However, in an instant, unexpected changes occurred suddenly.
No one could have imagined that Milinda, who was standing quietly on one side of the negotiation table, would suddenly sway, and in the blink of an eye, she would already be at Cecilia's side.
This is obviously not something that can be achieved by any kind of martial arts. Even the "Moon Shadow Void" that Hagrid is best at can never have such a fast speed. Only the kind of electricity that Enleco is good at Only the movement skills disguised by attribute magic can be compared with this, and judging from the faint fluctuations of magic energy emanating from Milinda's body, it is obvious that she has found a way to have the same effect as Enleco's martial arts. Wonderful ability.
The Great Mage Cecelia, who had originally relaxed her vigilance because of the successful conclusion of the peace talks, apparently did not react for a moment, although she had already guessed the many tricks that the Kaoqi Kingdom might unleash, including Let the Paladin launch a surprise attack at close range.
However, the five-meter-long negotiation table that seemed to be a barrier between them and the Kaoqi people obviously paralyzed her original vigilance.
This long obstacle was obviously deliberately set up here by the Kaoqi people, because Milinda's weird and fast movement was obviously not restricted by this obstacle at all.
Although there was no time to react in a hurry, it was impossible for the great mage Cecilia to be captured without help. She was also prepared before arriving.
A string of electric light suddenly surged out from her body, and the blue arc of light came from a string of necklaces hanging on her neck.
However, to everyone's surprise, the real target of Milinda's attack was not the great mage Cecilia. Suddenly, she spread her hands and directed two extremely sharp swords towards the person standing beside her. Chris shot away.
Compared with the wind blade cast by the magician, the warrior's sword energy is obviously much faster.
But this did not include Chris. As a piercing scream sounded, the entire tent was suddenly enveloped in a raging lightning storm. Compared with the lightning barrier used by Cecilia to defend herself, Chris's The power exerted is obviously much stronger.
This is Chrissy's special skill. Even Enleco can't avoid this move, but the Kaoqi people have already been prepared. Her Royal Highness the Princess likes to use lightning storms as a prelude to launching attacks. Obviously, she has already Be known to them.
During the three days of the conspiracy, Hegeero and she had rehearsed countless changes that might happen today, and the final result was almost exactly the same, that is, the only way to risk it was to risk the fate of Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie. Only by using lightning storms to respond can we gain the upper hand at that moment.
There is only one chance, and the battle must end before Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie lets out her second scream.
This was undoubtedly a huge gamble, but obviously they succeeded in this gamble. The lightning storm in the sky enveloped the entire tent as they expected, but the raging lightning could not harm anyone at all. people.
The blazing electric light was pulled towards the earth along the people's clothes. The same situation happened around the tent. The blue lightning seemed to be woven into neat warp and weft and flowed to the earth along the ropes that tightly held the tent.
This ineffective blow was obviously the biggest mistake for Chris. Another thing she didn't expect was that a bright light suddenly emitted from the top of the tent. This light was full of sacred magic. the power of.
The golden light enveloped everyone and did not cause any reaction. Only Chrissy's body suddenly became thinner and thinner, and quickly disappeared into the air.
Seeing that the most terrifying enemy had finally disappeared, Milinda felt a little more relaxed. After the attempt to assassinate Enleco and Cecelia failed, Haguero speculated that the Montita people had some kind of mysterious phantom clone. Magic, originally everyone thought this time that the clone was the great magician Cecilia. Because of this, Milinda did not use real attacks on Cecilia, who might just be a phantom.
Unexpectedly, the person who disappeared turned out to be Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie. This was undoubtedly the most unexpected and the best news for them.
There was almost no sluggishness at all. Milinda dropped her elbow and struck hard. The object she attacked was the great mage Cecilia. At the same time, the other two magics also shrouded Cecelia. This The two magic spells were originally aimed at the most powerful and terrifying person.
Everyone focused their attention on Cecilia, and no one would have thought that the truly fatal attack did not come from the great mage.
Suddenly a dazzling red light enveloped the entire tent, followed by a deafening roar.
The moment the red light burst, Milinda lowered her body subconsciously and rushed out of the tent. However, with her quick reaction and lightning-like speed, it was still difficult to completely dodge the rapid fire. of explosion.
A burst of intense burning and pain came from her back, and the blast of air slammed into her back like a giant hammer. Milinda curled up her body to protect her vitals with her hands and knees, and she rolled in an extremely embarrassed manner. With.
Except for Milinda, everyone else seemed to be in a hurry. Apparently no one noticed the King of Montita Kingdom who had always been despised by everyone, and no one would have thought that His Majesty the King would actually have something hidden in his body. There is an explosive bomb with amazing power, and this explosive bomb is also covered by special magic, and the fluctuation of magical energy cannot be felt at all.
Neither Horkels III nor Drekes would have as sensitive and quick reactions as Milinda, especially Drekes, whose original target was Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Yuan Sophie Kingdom. , now turned to deal with the great mage Cecelia. With his full concentration, he didn't even notice the red light shining at the moment of the explosion.
The violent explosion knocked him to the ground. The chief magician of the palace felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Then a feeling of dizziness hit him, and Drakes knew that if he couldn't stay awake immediately, death would surely follow him.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood again, Drechs bit hard and cut off his tongue. The severe pain made him wake up suddenly.
This is a kind of witchcraft spread from the ancient barbaric era. Drex has never used this weird magic before, because although this kind of witchcraft can have powerful power and vitality in a short period of time, , can even bring the body close to the state of immortality, but when the effect of this witchcraft passes, the person who performed this witchcraft will pay a huge price for it.
But at this moment, Drekes could no longer care about this. He knew that if he could not recover as soon as possible, his opponent's counterattack would kill him immediately.
Another mouthful of blood spurted out. This time, the blood contained the tongue that was chewed up by Drechs's teeth. What made people feel extremely strange was that the blood mist that spurted out did not fall to the ground, but turned into... A thick red cloud formed around Drex's body.
Suddenly, a thick blood-red cloud clung to Drechs's body like a substance. His face, his fingers, and all the exposed skin on his body were immediately dyed with a uniform and bright red layer. color.
The blood-red Drakes seemed to be as terrifying and weird as a demon. At this moment, he looked even more dangerous than the evil mage Trode standing next to him.
Like Drakes, the evil mage Trode was also attacked by the explosive bombs that suddenly exploded. However, unlike Drakes, Trode didn't seem to care about those wounds at all. There were even wounds on his body. There were a few exploding splinters, which were undoubtedly the most fatal wounds for most people, but for Trode, they seemed to be just a few strange ornaments adorning his body.
The other person who was not harmed by the explosion was Cecelia. Her body was covered with a layer of crystal clear ice, which covered her whole body like a layer of transparent armor.
However, the unharmed great mage seemed to have suffered an unbearable fatal blow. She knelt on the ground like a piece of wood.
There was only a pool of scorched blood in front of her, where her husband originally stood.
