Chapter 1700: Shocking news
On the fourth day after the black sword knights left, a strange atmosphere spread in the town.
It seems that no one has issued any order to block the news, and some people may be pushing for help. In short, some rumors will soon leave between the ears, and the mayor’s wife will use the news she heard as a talk at the ball. The maids of the ball told the cook and the servant what they heard, and the cook and the servant took the message outside the house and finally let it flow through the streets.
Some things are not dared to talk openly, but this does not prevent people from suggesting and exchanging intelligence in private. When the rumors spread thoroughly, the daily life of everyone in the town will inevitably have some influence.
The price of food is rising, the caravans are beginning to accept more rigorous checks, and there are many people on the street who are hurrying, and those who are busy with gatherings on weekdays are closing the door of the mansion, open and sound. The great feast also became a secret talk in the depths of the mansion. Others said that the only bart of the town’s only aristocrat, the Weir Baron, sent his own housekeeper, carrying a letter in the night and rushing to the nearby airship. Port, but no one can confirm this news.
Hao Ren and his entourage should have left this place two days ago and went to the nearby big city “Gray Mountain City”, but some rumors heard by the guards caused them to delay for two days in order to observe the changes in the situation. To prevent a head from entering the crisis.
In the temporary caravan of the caravan, a pro-armor dressed as a caravan guard just returned, watching his flashing with a stunned look, Charlemagne knew that the other party had heard the exact and amazing information.
"Is the situation confirmed?" Charlemagne first let the soldiers take a sip of breath and breathe a few breaths, then quickly asked, "Is things true?"
The pro-military looked around and subconsciously confirmed that the four "special allies" including Hao Ren in addition to the prince and princess in the room were actually not so cautious, but the news was so amazing that he could not help but be so cautious: "Yes, Your Highness, has confirmed that the only emperor of the Dragon empire, Princess Constance launched a rebellion, and the sword-breaking knights defeated an integrated corps stationed near the Imperial Capital and broke out north under the command of the princess. At present, a stronghold has been established in Frost and Snow City. The whole territory of the empire has announced the loyalty to Princess Constance. At the same time, there are sporadic battles in the South and West. There are ghost swordsmen who attacked the Black Sword Knights. The biggest battle of the scale occurred five days ago when the Sword Knight and the Black Sword Knights fought near the Copulus River, and one village was destroyed in the war."
In the past four days, all kinds of unreliable rumors have been flying around, and the news of the sky is full of wine between Weifang City. Even the things of the ancient gods and the doomsday prophecies jumped out and brushed out a presence. Feeling, but only now these pieces of information can still be connected to each other, but it is equally ridiculous.
Charlie Man suddenly stood up and walked around the house, his brows locked. After two laps, he suddenly stood still and his tone was low: "The situation is completely beyond the expectation that we can't go to the Grey Mountain City."
Noticing the look of Hao Ren’s face, Ai Wenna explained: “Gray Mountain City was once the direct territory of Princess Constance, and even the lords there were all cultivated by Princess Constance, but now the Knights of the Broken Sword In the north, the base area was established, but here is the southland where all the loyalty of Burundin... The city will soon become a whirlpool, and it is definitely not wise to plung it in at the moment."
Hao Ren nodded and understood, and then intended to make the atmosphere a little easier: "At least there is good news, now we can be sure that the black sword knights who ran into the town a few days ago are not directed at you..."
Charlemagne sighed: "Just when this is good news, but the situation has become more chaotic, we are not here to watch the civil unrest."
"I still can't say the purpose of your secret mission?" Lily looked particularly curiously at the royal brothers and sisters, and almost all of her eyes were shining. "You see the situation is like this. If you look at it, maybe we can still Help me think about it!"
This time, Avignon did not immediately refuse: "...after the timing is right, we will be honest, but to be honest, it is really not the time."
Hao Ren handed Lily a small snack: "Oh, they are not willing to say that we should not chase after asking, anyway, it has little to do with our mission."
If a husky curiosity is not satisfied for a long time, she will quickly switch from lazy to dismantled, but usually a snack can comfort it until she remembers it next time.
"In any case, we must plan the next trip," Vivienne said at this time. "There is a civil strife in this country. In fact, it is unsafe anywhere. We must continue on the road. Gray Mountain City cannot go. Are you still having other destinations?"
Charlemagne apparently thought about this problem before. At this moment, without much hesitation, he said a place name: "More Greenway in the north, we can take the road through the black pine forest, avoiding the sword-breaking knight and the empire. Disputes. But the black pine forest is dangerous, I don’t know..."
“It’s not a problem for us,” Hao Ren waved. “You just need to plan the route, and you don’t have to worry about the combat power.”
Lily immediately touched her fist and revealed a very fierce expression, saying that she could play super.
Charlemagne looked at Lily a little bit aggressively, and finally decided to believe in the confidence of these people: after all, the elite who came out from the mysterious "World Tree Temple" to perform the task, should personal strength be guaranteed?
Say these people are really elites...
Because of the need to arrange the itinerary and the convening of the ministry, Charlemagne and Avignon quickly left the room. After waiting for no outsiders in the house, Hao Renqing put away a smile on his face: "This is a bit... suddenly."
Vivian looked at him and said, "What do you think is wrong?"
"Oh, yes, there is definitely. According to Charlemagne and Avignon, Princess Constance has been a staunch protector of this empire for more than two hundred years. She has won the trust of her father, the dragon soul. The emperor's loyalty can even be said to be unparalleled in the world. She has been in charge of the Sword Knights for two hundred years. There are countless opportunities to raise the anti-flag, but there has never been any omen in this regard. As a result, this suddenly reversed. Inverted?"
"And the entire Northland also announced the first team," Vivian shrugged. "I have to say that this is not planned in advance, ghosts."
"We don't know the details of this world anyway, whether it is the case of the princess or the situation of the entire Dragon empire, it was heard from Charlemagne and Avenina, and the two brothers of Charlemagne are not empire themselves. People, intelligence can't be done," Lily put her hand on. After eating the snack, she was temporarily in the IQ state and discussed it. "In fact, the Constance of Constance is not important in itself. The key is that this seems to be Playing a big fight... The landlord, can we intervene?"
Husky's ingenious instinct is just around the corner, even if there is a war going on here, Lily feels that her claws are itchy.
This state lasts until a super-strong enemy comes out: she will definitely be the first time at that time...
Hao Ren can't be as simple as a husky girl. He knows that his drone corps can immediately suppress all the armed conflicts on this planet as soon as he enters the market, but this can't be used as a pre-selection idea: "This is a civilized internal struggle. And far from being intensified to the extent that it jeopardizes the survival of civilization, the examiner has no right to intervene in the war itself."
Lily squinted: "Then we are watching all the way?"
"I just said that I can't directly intervene in the war as a reviewer," Hao Ren glanced at the girl. "But it's no problem to intervene in local battles in personal capacity. Don't say anything else, we have to act on this planet. It’s always okay to let the local indigenous people paste up the fireball and then go back."
At the same time, in the city of Gray Mountain.
Earl of Naim stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his favorite golden red robe, watching the clouds rising in the distance, and the expression on the face of the old count gradually eased.
The Grey Mountain is not a mountain, but a cloudscape formed by the unique environment of this place. The clouds rising due to geothermal heat gather at high altitude, and they are stacked in layers to form a cloud like a mountain. They are half of the time each year. Floating over the plains for a long time, the name of the Grey Mountain came from this.
From the time when he inherited his father's title in his youth and became the lord of the city, Neam liked to stand in front of this floor-to-ceiling window, looking through the clear crystal glass to see the clouds in the sky outside, and those who were undecided but long-lasting The cloud that doesn't linger makes him think that he has been jealous and arrogant, but he still can't escape the land. When he wakes up, he looks back. All the arrogance is just in the finite life frame. Only.
Just like those clouds, it is ever-changing, but it is still the Grey Mountain.
The cold eyes of the princess's eyes seemed to puncture from behind the clouds, and Neem narrowed his eyes.
Although the framework of life is limited, it is probably the pleasure of mortals to dance in this limited life frame.
The footsteps came from behind.
The old count turned around, and the more bloated body and wrinkled face that grew older made him particularly weak and weak. This weak appearance probably magnified the contempt of the people who walked into the room. Feelings.
There are only five people standing in front of Neam, but only five people are enough to make most people in this country feel terrified. They wear black body armor, imitating the black steel helmet and visor cast by the dragon head. The appearance is completely obscured, the black mechanical sword is at the waist, the magical guide mechanism exposed between the blade and the hilt is vaguely flashing, and on the blade you can see three gold stars strikingly embedded in the black. Sword Knight, and is a high-ranking knight.
"Lord Earl, it seems that you are ready to show your position," a black sword knight spoke up. From the visor, there was a voice that suppressed depression. "We are very happy to see that you still maintain the same. Wisdom, this rebellion is not destined to last, and it is not too late to show your position."
Although he spoke with all the proper words, the black sword knight could not hear the slightest respect.
Neam’s body seemed to be a bit more sloppy, and his head was slightly lowered: “Yes, I have something to tell the loyal guards of the Emperor.”
The position of the eyes of the Black Sword Knight's visor flashed a little red.
The figure of Neam disappeared in front of them at this moment.
"嗡"
The five-handed black mechanical sword almost simultaneously rang the motive of the magic guide. The powerful magic made the blade instantly heated to a thousand degrees of high temperature and began to vibrate. A black sword knight pressed his hand on the hilt, but Before the sword was drawn, his head had slowly slipped off his shoulders.
The second Cavaliers and the third Cavaliers successfully pulled out the sword, but the arm of the sword pulled far away to the corner, and then their body fell heavily after the splash of a lot of black and red blood.
"Bold!" The fourth Cavaliers roared, and the black armor of the body emerged with a complex golden-red texture. The power of the dragon seal made him feel that the time around him seemed to slow down. He finally captured the "old count". The figure.
He saw a young man dressed in a long, wearing a golden red cloak from Count Earnham, walking like a dance in the splash of blood in the room, and a fine sword condensed with magic was crossed by the man. The air is stabbing towards my own eyebrows.
In the gradually inclined field of view, the black sword knight saw that his last companion was being cut off by the magical sword, and there was no resistance.
The figure of Count Nemham reappeared in the room, his body quickly changed back to the bloated and clumsy appearance, the wrinkles appeared again on his face, and the clothes automatically adjusted in size as the figure changed. He looked down. Several bodies on the ground, slightly bent:
"I am finished."
The door of the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man like a housekeeper walked into the room: "Master."
"Take these monsters away and burn them, throwing their swords into the furnace," Neem nodded slightly. "They didn't signal, we still have some time."
