Chapter 1088
The survivors swept away the ruins of the manor, put on weapons and armors that were pulled from the bodies of the elves, and carried heavy gold and the black-bottomed Golden Lion battle flag, drenched towards them. Go in the direction of Imperial Capital.
In the evening, Lucien and the two cavalry count sent out by Loren returned late. Tap Spoils of War to report casualties and results.
The ending is unsurprising-the elf warrior did not lie. In the evening, two elf patrols of no less than hundreds hurried to the manor. They did not wait to catch up with the escaped survivors. Hit the ambush of Fiend and Byrne Knights.
Ten people were injured slightly or seriously, none were killed, none were captured, and all were wiped out.
Faced with the prepared and set ambush hunting Fiend and Byrne Knight’s wall-mounted charge, and was guessed the marching route, the wizard warrior in the forcibly marching state has almost no room for resistance, and even the chance of escape is impossible. Have.
The people who rushed back were already a little impatient for the next hearty raid.
And the frightened little Yod is more concerned about whether this will attract more enemies—compared to spoils of war and prestige, he cares more about whether he can save his life.
As for the little priest Weber...
"You know I'm actually quite surprised...You didn't stand up against me."
Looking at Imperial Capital Weber, who prayed in the direction, the black hair wizard was a little surprised: "Those survivors who escaped, to some extent, they are the bait that I let out to attract the enemy's attention."
"They basically I don’t know how to conceal myself, so I’ll be discovered in a short time. As for the poor armament, it’s not worth mentioning in front of the elf warrior."
"So I mean to remove them from one Hell was rescued and thrown into another hell."
"Even so, you still saved them." Weber slowly lifts the head, smiling looking towards black hair wizard:
"Loren, maybe you didn't notice it yourself, but... you actually know how to save others."
"Save others?"
"Yes, this is also me I only recently realized that saving others is not equal to reaching out into the abyss, but to handing a rope." Weber whispered: "You gave the child a chance to do something, even if the opportunity is not so wonderful... ."
"But this is still an excellent attempt. It is necessary to have a reason to ask ourselves, and a result consistent with the'salvation'."
"Most importantly, we must not interfere with the choice of the saved—aloof and remote determine the fate of others, that kind of salvation I'm afraid it's almost the same as'control' and'manipulation'."
"You have taught me another important lesson, Loren." The little priest pressed his hands on his chest with a very sincere expression. : "So... I support you to do this, to'save' them, let the name of the Black Duke resound from the Sacrament Empire again, and let this title be greater than the Emperor of the Empire."
" Is the emperor greater?" Loren raised his eyebrows: "Pious believers of the Holy Cross, aren't they very opposed to the worship of other things?"
"We are against." Weber smiled nodded:
"But when the empire needs a hero to stand up, no matter how pious believers are, it’s the will of the Holy Cross whether it’s destroyed or saved."
It’s the same as always. Ah...
He pulled the black hair wizard at the corner of his mouth, and swept his gaze to the people who were watching him silently, waiting for the next task.
"Very well, today's battle should have made everyone more confident about our plan." Facing a pair of excited eyes, Loren nodded: "Any objections?"
Little Yodd raised his hands without the slightest hesitation.
"Anyone withdrawing?!"
Lu Sien clenched Jr. Yod by the collar so that he would not really pounce on Lord Loren's face.
"Very good, unanimously passed!" Nodded, the black hair wizard said solemnly with his mouth raised: "Then the next step is to assign tasks."
A crowd hunting Fiend and The knights' eyes lit up, like hyenas seeing carrion.
"Lanmalos!"
"Yes!"
Lake Heart City count proudly raises its spear.
"Your task is the easiest-advance along the Empire Avenue towards the Imperial Capital. I will send you the Byrne Knight and half of the Knight-errant Knight from 1/4/2021. All the strongholds along the way are Don’t touch, let alone entangled; rushing to the Imperial Capital city is considered a victory."
"Another task is to protect the team of survivors you meet as much as possible, but don’t be dragged down by their speed. The black hair wizard continued, turning his gaze to the opposite White Horse Peak count:
"Rigrel."
"Yes!"
"I Give you half of the Knight and Fiend hunting teams-your task is more complicated, to a certain extent you need to judge for yourself whether to remove the stronghold or ambush the patrol; the direction should overlap with Lanmalos, but it should be separated as much as possible; Let the enemy misunderstand that you are approaching him, and grasp it yourself."
The calm Baimafeng counts slightly nodded, and is not too excited.
"Lu Sien, you and all the rest, act with me." The black hair wizard turned his head and looked towards the gray pupil with a slightly complicated look:
" Our job is similar to that of Rigeler, but it may be more troublesome; so if necessary, you may have to act alone."
From the heart, of course Lucien knows that this is Loren. Trusting himself enough to protect Loren's safety has always been his first goal; but if he can act alone, it is a sign of being trusted by Loren.
So the gray pupil's mood is very tangled: "...yes."
"Weber bishop and Jr., also act with me."
"In short, no matter which team, the ultimate goal is the same." Looking around everyone, the black hair wizard said solemnly: "Pull out the stronghold, ambush the patrol team, save the survivors... all for the sake of the Azores The blockade and the control zone are completely disrupted and turn it into a pot of porridge!"
"We must let them take care of one another and lose their time; let them not know the direction of our main force and marching route, and the main force will again Where-to turn their territory into our territory, and turn their blockade into our blockade."
"If you expect, the Azores may not have Occupy Western Sacrament completely, so there are still many opportunities."
"Wherever we go, we must let the black-bottomed Golden Lion flag fly in all directions and sparks everywhere-let the Azores and the Imperial The reinforcements in Capital know..."
"Black Duke, I'm back——!"
"Obviously————!!!!"
………………………………
Staring at the "Fiend Hunter" in front of him, Metternich, Minister of the Seal, felt only a moment of cold hands and feet, and sweat continued to slide from his temples. Forehead.
The atmosphere of "have one's hair stand on end" made everyone present even breathe a little hurriedly.
Speaking truthfully, the appearance of Fiend Hunter Karl Colin is indeed a bit scary. Except for Fiend Hunter’s dress, the original position of the legs is complicated by the two ends, which resembles a kind of Great Desolate. Giant Beast's limbs and claws, the joints are replaced with gray and blue metal armor.
This is the "by-product" of Isaac's research-from the Mithril sword that purely utilizes the characteristics of Void Power, to the "Floating Void City" that converts energy, to the huge formidable power "Lightsaber"; The technology that originally existed only in theory finally became more and more proficient in the hands of Isaac and Ai Yin.
Not to mention a pair of simple prostheses, even if the limbs are missing the torso and the torso is severely damaged, as long as the main organs and head are well preserved, it is only a matter of time and cost for them to build a full-body armor.
But for the Grand Duke Elman and the ministers in charge of the Seal, these external things were not enough to shock them to the point of trembling-what really made them muffled was the messenger office in front of them. Brought intelligence.
"Your Majesty Connold... is dead?"
Meternity hardly knew how he said this sentence that he couldn't believe it.
Yes, His Majesty Eckhart II died in the Vault of Heaven, but all indications indicate that it may be a bureau set by His Majesty; but this time, His Majesty Connold...
In just six months, the two supreme emperors died unheard-of, which is unheard-of in the history of the empire!
"His Majesty Connold is in the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, perish together with the tens of thousands of Azorean elves who invaded massively-at the same time, Lord Loren Torino also beheaded Xiong Yingwang in the Valley of Blood Skeletons ."
Carl Colin was indifferent and nodded, or he was using his indifference to cover up his own shocked feeling: "In addition, Brandon is leading the army to the south, and the armies of the empire are gradually gathering Imperial Capital came in the direction of...It’s all the information that the Lord Duke told me."
"All?!"
Even if I have begun to believe in my heart, Grand Duke Yuli Wiertz is still forbearing Can't help but ask.
Karl Colin nodded seriously: "All."
"As for the marching route, strategic deployment, and how he crossed the occupied and blocked zones of the Azores... The duke didn’t tell me."
"Why?"
"Two reasons-the first is that the duke hadn’t thought about it at the time, this is what I guessed; the second It is that if Imperial Capital decides to provide assistance, then there is no need to say anything, this is what the Duke said himself."
Uli Wiertz was coldly snorted, with a somewhat complicated expression.
Yes, with the current imperial capital’s garrison force, it is completely enough to break through the Azores blockade, but to do so, you have to take a certain risk, and the enemy will take the opportunity to catch the weak point and chase it. Hit hard.
Ulrich Wertz has this confidence that both he and Byrne’s rock fort count over the Imperial Capital city defense can hold on when the other one leaves; but it is the nobleman of Imperial Capital. We don't have this "confidence"-they obviously hate people like themselves to the extreme, but they are afraid to refuse to let go anyway.
Not only that, even if they have reached this point, they still refuse to trust the armies of Byrne and Allermans; the key defense of Imperial Capital is still being controlled by the Imperial Parliament, which is guarded by the Imperial Capital guarding Legion. "Under the control, he is not open to himself and Byrne at all.
Want to unearth the true potential of the city and defeat the enemy while ensuring the unity of the Imperial Capital... Grand Duke Elman discovered that this might be more demanding than fighting alone with the elves. People are desperate.
"This information... temporarily cannot be known by Imperial Capital and the Sky Vault."
After hesitating for a long time, Metternich, who finally made a decision, solemnly looked towards Hunting Fiend Messenger: "His Excellency Karl Colin, thank you for your application, and thank the Duke of Byrne for sending you this extremely important news."
"But please also understand that the Imperial Capital is currently under siege. , People were alarmed, I can’t let this kind of terrifying news spread raging in the city-at least until I understand the idea of the Duke of Byrne, I will never do that."
The most important thing is , Must not let the supporters of His Royal Highness Brandon and His Royal Highness Princess Zhang Feitroni know.
Once the former gets the news, it will inevitably lead to a frenzy of the party’s consensus. In the current situation, a political struggle is no different from the self-destruct at the top of the Vault of Heaven... Internal fighting becomes a civil war in the empire. Not new;
And the latter is the key to the fact that the Sky Palace will not collapse at the moment-it is precisely because of the long Her Highness the Princess who is sitting in the town, the Sky Palace and the Imperial Capital will not be people were Alarmed, the nobles in the imperial parliament can leisurely play political games that haven't changed much for hundreds of years.
Never be discovered by the long Her Highness the Princess! Metternich was very clear about the relationship between His Royal Highness Fitronay and the other two brothers; it was hard to imagine whether such a blow would completely crush a woman who was strong enough.
But whether he can or not, he can't take this kind of risk.
“So I’m sorry to let you go on an errand for nothing ——but please also believe that, in the name of the minister of the seal, I assure you that I will do my best to persuade the imperial assembly to send troops and rescue Byrne Lord Duke!"
Meternich deliberately made the word "rescue" very heavy, causing Karl Colin to frown: "The Imperial Capital city has sufficient logistics supplies, tens of thousands. And loyal soldiers; when the Duke of Byrne arrives, the warriors who are united under the banner of the empire will surely be able to drive the evil Azores out of our land!"
Unity, unite , Banner... Even if I know that Imperial Capital is already internal trouble and outside aggression, there is no help at all except the nobles who are fighting with each other-if this is also helpful-the Minister of the Seal, Metternich, still sticks to the final bottom line. .
The one who saves the empire must be the empire; the hero can only be the emperor of the empire or at least the Imperial Family of Desa Leone.
For this kind of political position, Karl Colin is not interested, nodded agrees.
The Secretary of the Seal, who was finally relieved, turned and left, thinking about how to explain all this to the Imperial Council, the Imperial Cabinet, and the Imperial Family... It is absolutely impossible to deceive, but if you want to tell them all The truth, I am afraid it will cause extremely serious consequences.
So, how much to say, how to say, and what method should be used to make them understand but not fully understand...The joints in it are to be mastered by yourself.
This is the job of the Minister of the Seal...
With a wry smile and a sigh, Metternich walked out of the room.
As soon as he turned around, he suddenly stopped where he was, and the bitter smile on his face completely froze.
Her Highness the Princess of Fitronay Dessalion...
Just outside the door!
