For the Cruz people—especially for the Cruz nobles, what happened in the previous few days is a bit more meaningful. This is a reincarnation after a thousand years. The King of Flame and Odyssey of the Holy Sword, the two brilliant names, have returned to the empire after eleven centuries.
It's like everything started here, and it's back here.
For any Cruze, the return of this sacred honor is a symbol of extraordinary. It is not only a laurel crown, but more importantly, the return of ancient glory. But in this glory, there is a trace of unsatisfactory part-although after all is the de jure monarch of the Cruz people, the identity of the young man always reminds people of some unpleasant memories.
What the nobles have always been reluctant to admit, the best coalition commander in history 60 years ago, Earth Sword Saint Darus, has now returned to the empire in another way. The two generations of ancestors and grandchildren are now above their heads in a more prominent way, whether they like it or not.
But the Cruz people could not refute this.
Brando is an inheritor recognized by the Ring of the Most Flame, not to mention the relationship between the holy sword Odyssey and him. Compared with the eldest son of the emperor, this Eruin is more like the one of Gilt, the King of Flames. Posterity.
Behind the emperor, not only was the support of the Great Holy See Vala and Bishop Sidney of the Palace of the Lions, but also the shadow of the traditional imperial power-the old prime minister Nidven, the Duke of Mechotofin, These days, the daughters of the two people have been in and out of and inseparable from this majesty, so that outsiders can understand the relationship at a glance.
And even among the military aristocrats who support this majesty with the smallest voice, there are also heterogeneous species like Veronica. In today's empire, the Blue Legion and the Broken Sword Knights can be regarded as a lot of power. But what is a little surprising is that the Knights of Folding Swords come from the younger generations of various families. They seem to respect and admire the new Emperor Cruz so much that Brando has not really taken the throne, but in The circle of nobility—especially the circle of wives and ladies has a lot of fame.
Many young ladies are struggling to show themselves before the young emperor-if it hadn't been for the little princess of the Mehthofen family who was too protective of food.
Against this background, even though some people rarely complain, they dare not express it easily.
So in a calm situation, the Saint White meeting gradually became formal within a few days.
After all, people who come here are not concerned about the ownership of the title of King of Flames, but how to solve the current problems. After all, after witnessing the power displayed at dusk, everyone understands that the meaning of the existence of the Holy Alliance is civilization. Self-help.
This is the fourth day of the conference—
The first speaker on this day was an envoy from a small country on the Great Plains. Just like the Banciaians, these small countries adjacent to Saint-Osor and Jiufeng are actually more culturally affected. The influence of the Buga; therefore, although they have not yet realized the influence of the Twilight War itself, they have endured the pain caused by the side effects it caused.
Eternal night comes, the wizarding war. People in most areas have not put themselves in to consider the war they are about to face, and ordinary people in these places on the Great Plains have actually struggled to survive these two disasters.
In the north, the invasion of the Centaur and the Bansians caused wars to burn across almost the entire Great Plains. Many countries were completely destroyed because of the war of wizards initiated by the Sassarders, and the people were not alive. But in the south, the situation is even more tragic. In the area of Suowen where eternal night falls, many countries are completely destroyed. Either a meteor shower falls from the sky, or the entire kingdom turns into eternal winter. In some areas, the temperature drops to freezing point between day and night. Most of the residents living in these areas often freeze to death overnight.
Therefore, compared with the Cruz people who face the threat of war, these people are more eager to end all this, or at least to get help from the outside, otherwise the order on the Great Plains may collapse at any time.
That envoy came from such a country. He made generous statements in his position, and the scenes he portrayed touched many people. Both Jiufeng and Buga are willing to lend a helping hand to these people-of course, the latter is more. The ground is out of the mentality of compensation.
"Thank you very much for the generosity and selflessness of the Jiufeng and Buga wizards. We have no reason to refuse such kindness," the envoy bowed and said: "But we are here, this conference venue, of course, not just for begging— No offense, I call it begging because we have indeed reached such a desperate situation. People must first consider survival in order to have dignity, but for various reasons, my country and our citizens have lost this. A qualification."
"But precisely because we are still eager to regain this qualification, I would like to ask what this war means to us? Where does it come from and how long will it last? Who is our enemy? We How do you respond? I think there are many people in this room like me who desperately want such an answer."
After he finished speaking, he saluted everyone.
People can't help clapping, and they don't have any contempt because the other party claims to be "begging". On the contrary, many people just feel the same, and even the Cruz people have the same grievances in their hearts. Although they have not yet fallen to this situation, the life under the fence is obviously not easy.
When disorder began to spread, people had fewer and fewer ways to survive, and an urgent hope urged them to come here and to Manktor.
So this is exactly the meaning of such a meeting.
The little prime minister Nidevon stood up and replied: "I think our main threat is undoubtedly the dragon of twilight. I believe I don’t need to repeat the legend about it. After all, many of us are I grew up listening to the poem of the blue. However, because of the selfless sacrifice of the sage Ellanta, the source of all evil is still sealed outside the boundary of the elements, so the enemy we are currently facing is still essentially Its minions—"
"The minions of the Twilight Dragon, we have heard some rumors on the way here," a white city envoy stood up and asked, "but we know very little about them. Elves, are the wizards of Buja willing to share information?"
"This is a matter of course." Niedervan replied: "At present, the main enemies that the Cruz people are facing are crystal clusters and nightbirds. In the battles in some areas of Eruin in the south, it is said that there have been nohs. In addition, it is well known that the demons are also the minions of the Twilight Dragon."
"There are cultists and monsters." At this moment, a person suddenly spoke.
Everyone turned their heads back and was shocked to find that it was the newly appointed King of Flame who had been sitting at the center of the round table, the Emperor of the Cruz people, the Earl of Tonigel from Eruin.
Brando didn't mind these strange gazes. He continued: "Cultists, all things are back together, Silver Sky Snake and Tree Shepherd, have suffered a lot of vitality in several wars, so it is not a concern in a short period of time. ; But the movement in the Black Forest is still worth noting. The monsters originally came from a family of bronze, but they were invaded by the twilight, and they are no longer the citizens of the world of order and become our enemies."
"Honorable Lord of Flames," another person stood up and asked, "Is your word reliable? I'm talking about the part about monsters."
Brando nodded without hesitation. If other people are only aware of the abnormal movement of the monster, then he has no doubt about it. In history, whether it is a wolf disaster or a precursor to the coming of a crystal cluster, the monsters are all The vanguard of the magic tide, the Twilight Dragon cannot give up such a chess piece.
But there is no doubt that not everyone believes his words.
In the eyes of most people, Brando was able to become the King of Flames because his title of Emperor Cruz is legally consistent with the status of the successor of the King of Flames Gilt; but few people really thought about it. Why did this Eruin get such a title
Of course, they will not even think about why this young man is recognized by so many people—especially the recognition of the four empires and the Buga. The standing envoy also gave Brando a hesitant look. Although he did not express his suspicion on the face, it was nothing more than the respect he deserved for an imperial emperor.
Brando was very calm about everyone's attitude.
He chose to come to this position, naturally, not to enjoy the glory and attention that this position provided him, and what the Emperor Cruz's halo can provide him is actually just some empty vanity. As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces-he is different from his grandfather Darus-platooning troops is not good at it. Moreover, Brando can't really command the battle. There are many people who are more professional than him.
Brando is very clear about his advantage, that is, his vision is forward-looking. In this meeting, he understands the meaning of this war better than anyone; therefore, he also understands better how he should integrate these complicated countries and organizations. Integrate with people.
It is precisely because of standing higher that you can see farther, understand the end of the road, and also know what kind of coalition Vaughan needs.
The people looked at each other, the envoy was a little bit unable to come to Taiwan-he made it clear that he didn't believe Brando said, but he couldn't directly question him. Seeing Brando didn't mean to sit back, he could only bite the bullet and asked: "Then your majesty, you How much do these twilight dragon minions know?"
He thought Brando would retreat when he was in trouble, but he didn't expect the latter to smile slightly and talk freely: "I have talked about cultists and monsters before, and I especially want to remind you—especially in countries near the Black Forest. Beware of abnormal movements in the Black Forest and add more outposts and patrols; for St. Osor, the southern part of the White Mountain area and the border of the Black Forest near the direction of the Alkhash Mountains are the top priority. My suggestion is to dispatch two legions to these two places separately. Don't worry about the force involved, because it is necessary."
The wind elves obviously disagree with this proposal, but Lord Lorrindell and their future crown prince have no objection, especially Aruta, who wears the ring behind the wind, nodded slightly. Naturally, the wind elves nobles will not stand. Get up and quarrel with a regent, a future king.
But the envoy was not from Saint Osor, so don't worry about these reasons. He frowned and said, "But your majesty, in fact, we are more concerned about other issues."
"I understand that people are always full of fear for the unknown," Brando nodded in agreement. "As Mr. Niedervan said earlier, demons, crystal clusters, night worms and nohs are the most powerful under the dragon of twilight. The four powers of, but they don’t stop there. It is the Fenrir clan that represents the power of destruction that has truly served as the vanguard of the Twilight Dragon in previous wars."
He paused for a while before continuing to speak: "Fortunately, in this war, due to the betrayal of its leader, the wolf Esis, the giant wolves may no longer appear in the Twilight Battle—or even Stand on our side."
"what!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
In the blue epics of the past, the giant wolves are one of the most powerful enemies of the order side; they are the incarnation of the magic moon, representing the power of destruction, where the giant wolves are infested, the power of Tiamat is often affected. Suppress to a minimum. It is described in the myth that the giant wolves swallow the sun and the moon, and their results are also the most glorious among the twilight tribes. Not only are the giants defeated in their hands, at least three of the golden tribes are destroyed at the tip of Asis. Under the tooth.
If they betrayed, the significance of this news is not trivial.
The envoy also felt unbelievable, and subconsciously asked: "Esis has betrayed the Twilight Dragon. Your Majesty, are your words reliable?"
After he said these words, he realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly apologized to the Cruz people.
Instead of Brando, a female wizard leader of Buga was the one who answered.
It was Adjani who spoke, and the silver queen who represented time replied: "Your Excellency King of Flames did not boast. Our news comes from some special colleagues, and they sent this news back from Brunozon."
It was a witch, and people reacted. It is well known that witches are the waiters of the Moon of Magic. No one knows Asis and his daughters better than them. It seems that the authenticity of the news is almost beyond doubt.
But people still have questions: "But are the witches reliable?"
After all, witches often appear in the mortal world as negative news. Although this is a battle of order, everyone except those fanatics can be said to be colleagues and comrades in arms. However, under traditional thinking, there is a temporary concept. It is difficult to reverse, so it is inevitable that people will ask this question.
"The witches are committed to extracting the magic of darkness from the chaos, just like the necromancers of Madara, so people have doubts about them. In addition, the magic of darkness tends to infect people's hearts, causing some witches to behave differently. Ordinary people have therefore deepened this suspicion. But in fact, the witches have been committed to fighting the twilight. The sages have been planning this war several times ago. The witches came into being. Today you see Egypt. Heath’s betrayal is not accidental, but the result of hard work all the time."
Solomon the wizard king suddenly opened his mouth and replied to the crowd.
Two consecutive Buga wizard leaders came out to explain to Brando, which was obviously too shocking, so that everyone was a little stunned for a while and forgot to continue to ask questions.
The envoy bowed slightly to the two of them: "It turns out that we have always misunderstood the witches. We have been taught, madam."
But the other person stood up immediately: "What about the devil?"
"The devil is just the weakest race of the Twilight race." Brando replied immediately.
This immediately caused a whisper among the crowd. Demons are the twilight clan that mortals are most familiar with. Their power is beyond doubt. Many countries are destroyed because of these terrible monsters, and humans have never even invaded the territories of demons.
And they turned out to be the weakest in the mouth of this young King of Flames
People will inevitably have new doubts.
"Your Majesty, will you be responsible for your words?" the person asked reluctantly.
This is almost a direct questioning. Before Brando spoke, a sharp-toothed voice rang: "I don't think anyone is more qualified to be responsible for this sentence than him."
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the little dragon Aloz didn't know when she climbed onto her chair-standing on her own chair, she was only a little taller than the others: "How many of you are there? Have you really seen demons and dealt with demons? But the person in front of you personally drove the demon army back to the scorched prison just three years ago!"
"I want to remind you that the invasion of the devil in Amperisel was planned under the single-handed plan of the One Meeting of All Things. The Temple of Flame also recorded that battle as a bystander. This is not an unfamiliar rumors. , And about the invasion itself, perhaps the Bugans have the most say."
She looked at Solomon, and the Wizard King nodded blankly: "It can be known that the scale of the invasion was not small, but there was very little news about it, so the demonic invasion was a rare occurrence that was prevented. The invasion in the place where I took place. I once said that Lord Brando is a hero. This is not a compliment, but because he is worthy of this honor-he has personally put an end to a medium-scale demonic invasion."
The envoy stayed in place.
Everyone also showed incredible looks. They have heard a lot about the rumors of demons invading and destroying the country. In the Silver Bay area, if it were not for the joint intervention of the Bugans, the Temple of Flame and the Temple of Wind, I am afraid that it will lead to even more Many people still remember the terrible disaster.
And what kind of heroism is needed to turn the tide alone in such a desperate situation
Many Eruins at the meeting even showed a proud look on their faces—many of them were witnesses of the year. They participated in the war and witnessed the birth of the miracle in the rain. The heroic glory of that day has become a monument erected in the hearts of the Eruin people today.
The Baicheng envoy who sat back couldn't help standing up again at this moment, and bowed deeply to Brando.
This is a courtesy to heroes.
Brando accepted it calmly.
Not only because he has this qualification, but more importantly, he has this need. He glanced at Little Mother Dragon and Solomon with some gratitude, but he had to turn the halo that he had imposed on him into a real right to speak-and this was exactly the original intention of his standing up to answer this question.
The meeting place became quiet.
"Then your Majesty the King of Flames... Do you still know more about the demons?" the envoy stammered before.
Brando didn't mind the other party's previous offense, but calmly replied: "Although the demons are powerful, the demon lord died as early as the fourth war, leaving the seven demon kings in their own right. For this reason, their threat has been reduced to a minimum in the constant internal friction."
"But in the previous Cruz war, wasn't the root cause of the war that the demons invaded Qiaogendigang and caused the migration of Qiaogendigang people on the surface?" someone in the crowd asked.
"That's just a side word of the Dragon Queen. In fact, the demons just invaded the tip of the ashes and occupied the territory of the dark elves and Medusa, and they are still very far away from the real Qiaogenjigang. The migration of Qiaogenjigang's people is not so much. It was caused by the devil, it was the Dragon Queen’s plan, and everything was just a lie."
Brando paused: "Of course, the demons' abnormal movements are not without roots, but because they feel that a demon king in the surface world is about to be resurrected."
"A demon king in the surface world?"
"It was Akentu, the demon king. In the battle of Azure, the demon suffered heavy losses. Several demon kings died one after another. Among them, the most powerful one was the demon king Akentu who was killed by the Buga. Together, the dragons are sealed in the world of stagnation. But after tens of thousands of years, this seal has begun to loosen. Therefore, the demons, under the guidance of their servants in the surface world—the Sheep Head Cultist, initiate the attack on the ashes. The tip of the offense."
It was the first time these secrets were heard by many people present, and many of them couldn't help showing a surprised look. They obviously did not expect that this young Lord of Flame would be so knowledgeable. If they were not convinced of the identity of the other party, many people would think it was a Buga who was telling them all.
"Then the Demon King, if the seal has been loosened, will it pose a threat to us?" someone asked.
"This is nothing to worry about," Princess Magdal stood up and replied actively, "Because it is already dead."
"Dead?" The man was stunned.
"Akantu died in the stagnant world, and it was done by Mr. Brando himself, where we regained the natural gem-the green soul of the holy sword. I have experienced all this and can testify." Princess Magdal Answered calmly.
"I have experienced all this personally," Aloz said hastily, "the dragons can also testify."
The Buga also nodded. As the sealers of Akantu, naturally they were the first to perceive what happened in the world of stagnation.
The meeting place went quiet first, and the eyes of people watching Brando finally became a little strange. It seems that it was not until this moment that they recalled the scene when Brando won the throne of the Flame King-no wonder there will be so many countries and forces endorsing him behind his back.
This kind of curiosity is often on the surface, but it is enough to prompt people to learn more about the life of this King of Flames.
"To be able to kill a demon lord, at least it must be a swordsman, right? So young?"
"That's not surprising, I heard that His Majesty the Flame King is a descendant of the Earth Sword Saint, and his grandfather is a true Extreme Sword Saint."
Extreme Sword Sage, people are sucking in air-conditioning. For most people, that is the limit of Lilang they perceive.
But someone said: "Have you never heard of it? Not only his grandfather, but his teacher is also the Great Sword Saint, Grey Sword Saint Mephistopheles." This is undoubtedly a statement from a Cruze.
Rumors of this kind began to grow more among the whispers.
However, it is the Eruin who can provide the most accurate information. After all, the life of the Lord Earl has become three-dimensional and rich through various rumors in all aspects of Eruin.
The two Black Rose battles have saved a kingdom several times.
Afterwards, in the different eyes of everyone, he walked away like a real noble knight, leaving only a crown for his student and his beloved Princess.
If killing the Demon King is only a manifestation of power, then everything about him in Eruin is a true legend.
In this era when most people have romantic feelings for the real chivalry, such deeds are often more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What people miss is not only the light and the shadow of the sword, but also the love and hatred behind it. And a living, flesh-and-blood Lord Earl, with regard to his love, ideals and beliefs with Princess Griffin, it is often easier to make imprints in people's hearts.
A person with great power will be respected by people. But a person with ideals and beliefs can be truly respected by people.
Brando is naturally far from being a sage, but the selflessness he left Eruin, but also hiking to shine in this era. In a sense, he even replaced the first king Eke's position in the eyes of the Eruins.
And this is what is precious, even the Cruz people have a trace of respect in the eyes of their new emperor.
Not to mention other people.
"This is the character of a real sword user," Mr. Liu sighed, with a look of admiration: "His Royal Highness, we did not expect Rosalin and his party to meet such a hero."
Huang Huo nodded seriously, and in her mind she had already believed that her teacher was the best person in the world.
Beside the two of them, Fang Qi sighed heavily. He looked in the direction where Delphine was, and finally shook his head.
Among Torquinin's lions, Neil Fisher looked at the holy sword in front of him with a shame on his face. And a person came to it quietly and said to the lion prince: "His Royal Highness, Mr. Brando's deeds are rare in the world, but there is not necessarily such a hero."
"You're right," Neel sighed and replied, "Miss Tix, but I am not frustrated, but ashamed. Heroes should never move forward, but I should be jealous of a real knight. , Making myself look like a villain."
"Then be more frank. You may not be forgiven. The brave are not only brave when facing the enemy, are they?"
The Lion Prince nodded: "You are right, Miss Ticks, I will do that."
The human girl smiled slightly: "This is what I admire about you, Your Highness."
People have been impressed by Brando, and naturally they will no longer question what he said. Some people took the opportunity to ask: "Then how can we win this seemingly desperate war, Your Majesty?"
Someone asked: "Can we really defeat the Twilight Dragon?"
In front of a powerful enemy, it is inevitable that some people will have doubts, not wanting to surrender, but not seeing hope.
But Brando shook his head: "If the Twilight Dragon is really invincible, we don't need to wait until today's turn to take over the war."
"But today we are just a group of mortals," the man asked, "In this era when Warend's order power is most declining, how can we defeat enemies that even Martha has not defeated?"
Brando stood up.
He looked at everyone.
"Our world is bleeding constantly, and the war with the Dragon of Twilight has left us scarred—"
"In the past era, we have witnessed the passing of many heroes, just like those stars that guided us in the darkness, extinguished bit by bit. What is left, seems to be a hopeless, bleak In the night sky, above the pitch black that stretches across the sky, even the gods have lost hope."
The venue was quiet. People were attracted by Brando's actions and were surprised at his words. Everyone looked up to see what the young King of Flame had to say.
"but-"
Brando raised his own voice: "We cannot deny the efforts of the sages. What they have exchanged for us with the deepest despair is not a real, bleak future—the price paid by the world of order. Isn't it our enemy?"
"... The demon lord died under the sword of verdure, and the mother of night worms also had no corpse in the glow of the holy spear sky. And the first generation of witches in the world of order, her existence is already untestable today, maybe She has turned into a ghost of history, but it is what this ghost left behind, and now that Asis has also betrayed her master, those of our once strongest enemies have also fallen one by one."
"Now of the five lords under the Dragon of Twilight, the third is gone; we have lost the lonely and vast night sky before our eyes, but it is not a sign of the arrival of eternal night, on the contrary—"
Brando replied word by word: "The reason why the stars disappear one by one is because the dawn is about to come."
