Chapter 698
Former...wizard consultant?
If this is a comic, a huge question mark should appear above Loren and Ayin.
At the same time that this sentence was said, this "upright"-looking Assama Master also showed a bit of embarrassment.
"I'm sorry I told you a little lie before, young duke." He sighed and shrugged helplessly: "But otherwise, I don't think I can bypass those proud worships. Lord Grace sees you again."
"It doesn't matter, you don't need to be too polite, you can call me Loren."
I glanced at the little wizard next to him, Loren Waved his hand and smiled opened the mouth and said: "Ain and I studied under the Freswok School, so strictly speaking, you are still the elder of the two of us!"
"Also talk about the moment What happened—you just said that the reason you were captured is one of the reasons why this war started. What happened?"
Hearing Loren’s question, Master Azamah’s expression suddenly gloomy and uncertain, after considering it cautiously, he said: "That... Duke Loren Torino, how much do you know about the story of your ancestor "Black Duke" Roland?"
"Uh, know a little bit. Two." Loren was taken aback, wondering why he asked this suddenly.
Ashamai Master nodded: "So, about his first Centaur War, you should also know something... unknown?"
" It was the war that Roland started first, which led to the centaur being forced to unite and launching an invasion."
The black hair wizard eyebrows raised, and he faintly guessed what the other party meant.
"And the Centaur war at this time...what should I say, it is quite similar to the situation back then." Master Azama opened the mouth and said hesitatingly, his eloquent expression and Ai When Kurt describes the Black Duke, it’s exactly the same:
"As you know, Grand Duke Poye implemented a rotation system. After Duke Laszlo Varna, it’s the Jonah family’s turn— —And the leader of this generation Jonah family is already very old, and eldest son and second son die an untimely death, only one granddaughter can succeed."
"And coincidentally, Grand Duke Varna There is a very good grandson who is about the same age as Jonah Patriarch's granddaughter; therefore, the Grand Duke felt that if he could win a Centaur War for his prestige, he would be able to..."
You can marry the granddaughter of Jonah's family and make your grandson the husband of the next Grand Duke Boyd, right?
Forcibly resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Loren shook the head… The Grand Duke of Laszlo Varna has been trying to get the Varna family to completely control Poi Duchy since the era of the Black Duke, occupying all these years. Didn't give up on the title of duke?
He is really a stubborn old man.
The awkward atmosphere silenced both of them, clinking glasses tacitly, drinking them all and sighed heavily.
"At first, everyone saw this war very simply. Grand Duke’s grandson was also very prestigious among the Poi nobles. Together with the Duke’s secret support, he raised a group of people. Few troops of the Eastern Expedition."
Putting down the wine glass, Master Azamah shook his head: "Then...then we found that things are not that simple."
"And the Black Duke The same thing in a Centaur war is that they did once again regain their vitality and complete the unity. The entire race can mobilize tens of thousands of troops to launch an invasion;
The difference from the previous one lies in this Time’s centaur is not a temporary response, but comes prepared!"
"Come prepared?"
"That's right!" Assama said decisively: " The Centaur race doesn’t know how to smelt metals, let alone forging weapons and armor;
But this time, not only are they equipped with a large number of steel weapons throughout the clan, they even have a small amount of such as crossbows. , A projection device such as a trebuchet-this was simply unheard-of before!"
"Who is supporting them in secret?!" The little wizard stared wide-eyed.
"Who knows, maybe it's the smuggler of the empire, maybe it's a dwarf?" Akama shrugged: "Similar things are not new anymore, but the situation at this time is particularly serious."
"But regardless of the reason, Poy suffered an unprecedented fiasco. The Grand Duke Varna, who was eager to save his grandson, also suffered a fiasco in a panic, and was desperately trying to escape. The pursuit and killing of the centaur is unclear;
The main force of the centaur is grandiose, who has crossed the Great Boyi collar, and has surrounded the Thousand Tent City at any time, and may be captured at any time!"
Sighed again and again, the expression of Master Azhamel became a bit lonely: "I was captured by Chakal of the Chiyan Banner when I was covering Seth Braha count to break through."
"Originally, his mission should be to go directly to the Scarlet Blood Castle and ask for help from you and the Heavenly Vault...Now that you have come, it has saved a lot of things."
So Said that he really came to ask for help...Loren suddenly froze, and then suddenly opened his eyes: "Wait! If this is the case, then the letter from the Grand Duke Varna for help..."
"Yes, that letter was actually written by me; Lord Laszlo you Varna...he wouldn't ask for help from the descendants of the Black Duke!" Assama said, "You guessed it":
"I also opposed this centaur war because from the very beginning, and advised the Grand Duke not to fight this battle that will undoubtedly be lost before being driven out by him."
"Oh...in this world, almost all rulers have a head that is too stubborn to listen to persuasion." Shaking his head, Ashamai opened the mouth and said in a very low and regretful tone:
"Including that Chakal-last night I perfectly cleared him to remind him not to be so close to your camp. Byrne Knight could rush to him in one round of charge, but he just refused to listen.
These guys are still too innocent and too stubborn! They don’t want to think, can someone with a lot of experience and experience like me lie to them, and what they say is wrong?
Let’s see how they will end up. One is still alive and dead now; the other is fateful, but it’s not that they escape faster than anyone else. Thousands of people are scattered like wild dogs."
"..." Loren Torino.
"..." Ain Rand.
For a moment, Loren wanted to strangle this old wizard who was stronger than ogre-if he hadn't talked too much, he would have almost succeeded last night!
Wait! For the first time, he counted the fiasco of the Grand Duke Varna, and the second time he said that he would launch a surprise attack from the front... Isn’t this old wizard a fake alchemist, in fact, he specializes in subjects such as prophecy or curse? Bar? !
"Master Azamael, isn't Big Boi the territory of Jonah's family?"
Just when Loren was shocked and ready, the little wizard suddenly noticed the other party's words Question: "Even if the Archduke Varna is defeated, how can the Jonah family let the Centaur pass through the Great Boyle so smoothly to besiege Thousand Tent City?"
"This reason is very complicated, Jonah The family does not have enough troops to contend with the entire half-man Ma Dajun, but this is only one of them." Ashamai explained:
"On the other hand, the Grand Duke of Varna is still alive, and the Thousand Tent City is also Val. In the territory of the Na family, it was the Varna family that was ashamed of the main city—and the patriarch of the Jonah family now...he also had the same idea as the Grand Duke Varna at the time."
Loren slightly nodded, almost the same. Understand the meaning of ashmai.
In other words, the Varna family is now defeated, and the Duke is fleeing away. The fate of the Duke is unknown; while the Jonah family is passively avoiding the battle, and at the same time gathers its forces to take advantage of the weakness of the Centaur to retake the City of Thousand Tent.
The next Grand Duke Boe belongs to the Jonah family. It seems that they are also planning to build a strong presence for Jonah’s heirs, so they will stand on the sidelines when the Grand Duke Varna is defeated.
"But in fact, Jonah's family didn't realize the seriousness of the problem!" Azhamah suddenly became serious: "Once Thousand Tent City is captured, the entire Poi Duchy will be divided into Two, things are hard to care for each other."
"By then, the Jonah family will not have enough strength to face the full-scale attack of the Centaur, and no army will be able to support the Great Boyi until the city is retaken. I can only watch them being completely annihilated by the centaur!"
Hearing this remark, Ain turned his head silently, looking towards the black hair wizard with anxiety.
"I understand." Loren calmly nodded:
"Our goal...is the city of Thousand Accounts!"
