Chapter 1075
Edward’s plan failed, but his goal was achieved.
According to the vision of the night watchman at first, Brandon, the Prince of East Sackland, although he has the name of the crown prince, does not have the reality of the crown prince-the reason is simple, his popularity in the empire It was too bad, except for a handful of nobles and the Duke of Byrne who were willing to support him, even the nobles of East Sackland who were willing to loyal to him were very few.
That’s why he took advantage of the opportunity of the return of Legion of the Blood Skeleton Valley to crown Brandon with an iron crown and a royal sword, allowing Brandon to "one step in place" to become the emperor, and then slowly pass The prestige accumulated by the war belongs to him.
This is not what Brandon wants, but he also knows how rare this opportunity his leader of the night watch is won.
So he changed his approach, retreating to advance-using "save the Imperial Capital, officially crowned" as a reason to call out, let the soldiers "voluntarily" join themselves, they will be reluctant "Recommendation" has become a spontaneous alliance of "fighting for the common good".
The incident happened suddenly, but Brandon did not purely have a thought, but made a decision after careful thought.
Eight thousand remnants of the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress, 30,000 Legion of East Sackland, 6,000 Legion of the Boyne Cavalry, 3,000 of the Knight Legion of Byrne... These people come from myriad, and the interest demands have nothing common with each other, but it's basically the same, that's going to Golovin.
So Brandon let this army of nearly 50,000 voluntarily assemble under his command, and it is still a fully equipped, with Peak phalanx infantry and light and heavy mobile forces, good logistics support, and excellent combat quality. Gao's huge Legion has become his "basic plate".
At the same time, the 20,000 Boi army has set off from the Great Green Sea led by the Big Boi and is entering the territory of East Sacrament;
The lords of East Sackland are also gathering troops in accordance with the orders of the Sky Palace. 50,000 recruits are rushing to the nearest barracks;
In the south, the 80,000 by-in elite Legion has already been assembled. In accordance with the order of the Round Table Council, we are rushing to aid Imperial Capital Golovin;
At the same time, Arles Duchy is also under the threat of Byrne and began to assemble the army as their Duke promised at the Knight Sword Meeting. Advancing to the Elman Mountain; the mountain people in this hilly area also began to gather one after another in response to the call.
East Sacland, Allermans, Boyne, Byrne, Arles... The entire empire is advancing in accordance with Connold’s arrangements during his lifetime and following the agreed route.
Some of these troops have been informed, and some are still ignorant of what is happening at Imperial Capital and Duanjieshan; they are only mobilized because of Connold's orders.
This huge army of tens of thousands, plus the materials collected by the Imperial Capital, enough to make the 200,000 army squander, and all the way north from Western Sacrament to Eboden The complete logistics line is the greatest "legacy" left by Connold.
What Brandon has to do now is to rely on the 50,000-thousand army in his hands to advance all the way south, while fighting the Azorean elves while constantly using the "Imperial Crown Prince." In the name of "Rescue Imperial Capital" and "Revenge the Emperor Connold", these inheritances were successively accepted under their command, marched towards Imperial Capital, and triumphed in the Sky Palace.
Just walk into your own palace, and let those who look down on yourself bow their heads to court—this is what Brandon wants.
………………………
"Uh...wait, don’t worry, one by one."
In the ruins of Duanjieshan In the Byrne camp, Loren · Torino sitting at the round table looked towards the surrounding guys who surrounded themselves, all smiled and raised their hands to express their direction.
Lu Sien, Dalton mentor, Isaac, Charlotte and Ayin, five people with different expressions surrounded him in the center.
"I know you have a lot to ask, and I also know that you may have been waiting for a long time, and I also know that you are always worried about my safety, so..."
"Who is worried about your safety?"
Before he was finished, Charlotte of Coldly Snorted intercepted and said: "I am worried about Ayin, and you will be taken to the Valley of Blood Skeletons. Warriors!"
"Dignified Duke of Byrne, he made such a crazy move when there was clearly a better choice. I don’t know what you think?! What do you think? I don’t understand what I’m fighting against, do I take my life for..."
"She is really worried about you."
The blinking little wizard gently In a word, the flushed-faced Scarlet Blood Castle female count turned away lightly snorted, her shoulders kept swaying slightly.
The black hair wizard smiled awkwardly.
Unlike the "reasonable" Ai Yin, the more powerful Charlotte does not express her emotions so simply and clearly. She desires to control everything but lacks this power, so she can only desperately Suppress your emotions and impulses; especially when facing situations that she can't control at all, this anxiety will become more obvious in her.
"Generally, I have learned from Lucien."
Scanning the gray pupil behind his eyes, Dalton · Kander put his hands on his back and cast his gaze to Loren: "So...what's the situation now?"
These are actually two questions.
The Azores have launched a full-scale invasion, and their troops are directed at Imperial Capital Golovin; but as the northern Azores troops are completely annihilated, Xiong Yingwang fell in the valley of blood, Azov The Elf’s strategic plan to besiege the empire on three sides has been completely bankrupt.
Not only that, because although the Duanjieshan fell, the main force Legion did not suffer too much casualties because of the timely evacuation; the duchy of the empires in the Middle East, Sacrament, Poye, Arles, Eller The strength of Mangji Duchy is still well-preserved, enough to give any part of the Azor Elf invaders a military advantage.
In other words, unless the Imperial Capital Golovin immediately falls, or the Deep Limburg is breached, Lothar is completely occupied by the Azores, opening up the gap between Eboden and Western Sacrament. Connected, the two Azores armies echoed left and right; otherwise, the Azores fighting each other would only end up being surrounded and annihilated.
Of course, the strength of the elves is still very strong, and it cannot be completely denied that there is still the possibility of follow-up reinforcements, but at least the advantage of the battle is slowly tilting towards the empire; there is no foundation in this land. The Azorean elves cannot gain a foothold unless they colonize on a large scale.
The empire that has gone through nearly half a year of war has finally gradually exerted her true strength.
But the problem is with the Empire...or Loren Torino’s enemy, not just the Azores.
"To put it simply, our enemy will still be the Azores but...not just them, the'Black Cross' Serel...he is back."
black hair wizard said with a bitter smile.
The voice fell, and everyone's expressions were shocked at the same time.
In the morning when the snow was flying a few years ago, Loren had already told everyone about "Black Cross" Serel and the threat he posed. He knew how much this guy’s threat was. What level of it.
In one sentence, "the secret mastermind of the destruction of the giant dragon kingdom" and "killing the black duke and sealing the culprit of Martial Goddess" are enough to explain everything.
The moment he opened the second valve, he had already discovered Seyol’s Void Power...Although it was very weak, so weak that he had never noticed anything before, but this time he did discover it. NS.
Loren is also very sure that the other party also knows this, and it is very likely that he had discovered it deliberately; in the opinion of the arrogant Seror, this may be the way and posture he declared war on him. After all, if the second valve is not turned on, he is impossible to perceive him.
He is declaring war, like a Knight of aloof and remote-I am coming, you should prepare as much as possible, because no matter how much you prepare, you will end up with my sword. .
"Is there no possibility of...compromise?" Charlotte couldn't help turning back.
She knows very little about the existence of Seyol, and basically understands it as a certain Evil God who is very hostile to Loren, who once killed the Black Duke.
sighed then said, Loren shook his head: "irreconcilable."
The Scarlet Blood Castle female count frowned.
"What is his purpose?" Dalton Kander asked coldly: "Is it still the same as in the past, do you want to capture two nine-pointed stars?"
Loren slightly nodded.
"And now one of the holy grails is on your body, and the other is where you know, then..." Dalton's self-talking voice came to an abrupt end:
" We must stop him."
The black hair wizard solemnly nodded: "We must stop him."
The location of the second holy grail is a secret that only Loren himself knows—— Not only can he not tell anyone this secret, he can't even have any "impulse" to remember... He didn't understand it in the past, but now he finally understands why the "last wizard" warned himself so.
Because the void response itself is the "radiation" of a certain consciousness information and emotional changes, your own emotions and thought changes in your mind will all act on your void response.
Just turning on the second valve, Loren can "read" the other person's emotional changes from the void reaction of being someone, whether he is lying; then it is replaced by "Black Cross" Serel, I'm afraid Can "read" more things from it.
Maybe it's just a flashback, a fragment in his mind, and he can detect extremely critical information.
"Then...How will he launch an offense?"
Lu Sien is most concerned about this: "When is it exactly?"
Loren still smiles bitterly .
"Anytime." The black hair wizard whispered: "Anytime, any place, any way...For Seror, there is no chess piece in this world that he does not use; some kind of In a sense, he is really only the last step away from capturing this world."
"It's OK, it's almost my turn, right?"
Pushing Lucien next to him, Isaac forcibly squeezed in front of Loren, his eyes widened: "Tell me, you opened the second valve, right?!"
"Uh...Yes. "
"Sure enough! When Lucien described it, I knew I guessed it right!" Isaac laughed proudly, and then stared at the black hair wizard eagerly:
"So...what is it like--is your current existence'material' or'mental'? Do you no longer need to use rune to use Void Power?! "
"Uh, this..."
"One by one ask!" The little wizard panting with rage stood over and stared at Isaac: "Loren hasn't yet It's completely recovered, how do you want him to answer you like this!"
"I...you...head water...okay."
Long sighed, with a frustrated expression Isaac took a few deep breaths, and stared at Loren solemnly: "One question-what is the so-called'wisdom' of the second valve?"
"This...it's difficult to use. It’s clear in a few words."
Loren whispered: "My suggestion is that if one day, you also find an opportunity to open the second valve... you'd better be more cautious; because once you have stepped on this step, there is no way to turn back."
"No way to turn back...what do you mean?" Isaac couldn't help asking.
"In simple terms, you have to make a choice-this decision will cause a certain part of you to completely disappear, and it will always be impossible to recover."
"Instead, It’s that you will become another level of existence; it’s not so much evolution, it’s more like a transformation, and in terms of the results I have seen, the price may be much more than what I get."
"Um..."
Isaac squinted and fell into a state of contemplation.
"Well, when the time comes, I will try my best to be more cautious—at worst, I will wait until I am about to die before making a decision; I know the Fresswalker school There are many ways to extend the lifespan."
"As for the others... just wait when the time comes and I will figure it out myself. If this kind of thing is fully understood, it will be boring; knowledge is It is necessary to retain a little mysterious feeling to make people have the desire to explore!"
Loren nodded.
As for whether Isaac can do this, it is completely out of the two people's consideration-with his innate talent coupled with the inheritance of knowledge from the Dragon King Tower, it is true that the second valve cannot be opened. That's weird.
Just when Isaac wanted to ask anything else, a banner officer opened the curtain of the camp and stood outside the door and paid his respects slightly in the direction moved towards black hair wizard:
"On the order of His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion, Prince of East Sacland, if the Duke and Lord Count of Scarlet Blood have no special reasons, please move to the conference hall and discuss with His Royal Highness about the rescue of the Imperial Capital! "
Although the banner officer used a respectful tone, his expression and attitude were very tough, and there was no room for rebuttal.
"Now?"
"Now." The banner officer said solemnly: "His Royal Highness Brandon's original words are-if the Duke of Byrne agrees, he will immediately call a combat meeting. ."
In the morning, I just started to preach with great fanfare in the barracks, and in the evening, I started to plan what I should do?
black hair wizard sighed then said, and looked at Charlotte with a slightly sullen cheek, and stood up silently:
"Please tell Your Highness Brandon, the meeting can begin! "
