Chapter 358: Archbishop Yelikin
Chapter 358 Archbishop Yelikin
listened to the footsteps behind the secret door and walked away.
Marquis Veron suddenly sighed, then poured another glass of wine, looked out the window, and murmured: "Your Majesty, I have already conveyed your wishes to the Church of the Holy Light, but I didn't expect it to be Sivinaya this time. The saint is here in person."
Marquis Veron couldn't help showing a strange smile on his face when he thought of the purpose of Sivinaye.
At this moment, the windows and doors were closed, but a faint gloomy wind suddenly blew in the room.
Marquis Veron said lightly: "You are here."
The voice of fell, and a translucent figure appeared at the location where Sivinaya was before.
The figure could not see the facial features clearly, but it gave off a rotten aura that was very old and dying.
"Unexpectedly, Sivinaya came over so quickly, and he came in person." The translucent old man shook the air and made a hoarse and low voice.
Marquis Veron smiled and said, "I have to admit, Archbishop Yelikin, your luck is really good. The Virgin of Sivinaye assigned me this task, at least for a short time you are still safe."
It turns out that this old translucent figure is actually the Archbishop Yelikin who betrayed the Church of the Holy Light!
Moreover, if Modi were here at the moment, he would definitely find that the 'grandfather' who had been following him was actually the remnant of the archbishop.
Archbishop Ye Lijin smiled and said, "Hehehe How lucky is it? When I was young, my teacher told me not to leave my fate to luck, so I never believed in luck."
Marquis Veron's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly recalled his first meeting with Archbishop Yelikin. He couldn't help but take a deep breath. Could it be that it wasn't luck at all, but that the other party had long expected that if Sivinaya pursued this place, he would definitely be the first to do so. One came to him?
Apparently, Archbishop Yelikin didn't intend to explain further. He turned his head and glanced at the secret passage that Sivinaya took when he left, and whispered: "Sivinaya, are you sure you won't let me go? But it doesn't matter, you will soon. It will come true, I will die completely, but my beliefs and ideals will live on, in a body better gifted than me, stronger than me, younger than me."
Marquis Veron was a little shocked: "Are you ready?"
Archbishop Yelikin said calmly: "No, but there is no time to delay. Since Sivinaya is here, he will not give me too much time. Even if you help me delay it for too long, at most half a year, or a few month, or she will doubt you."
Marquis Veron looked at each other in surprise. He didn't expect Archbishop Yelikin to consider his safety at such a time.
Archbishop Yelikin said indifferently: "Don't think too much, I'm not a good person, and I don't care about your life or death, just because you are my only ally now, for the next step, you can't go wrong."
Marquis Veron was choked and didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject and said, "Then what are you going to do next?"
Archbishop Yelikin said silently for a moment: "Forget it, there is no time. Originally, I planned to let him grow up for a while. Now it seems that I can only go straight to the last step. I hope that poor child can survive and don't let me down."
Looking at the holy light and the aura of compassion emanating from Archbishop Yelikin, Marquis Veron was even more suspicious of what Sivinaye said, that Archbishop Yelikin betrayed the Holy Light.
If he truly betrayed the Holy Light faith, Archbishop Yelikin, who had become a remnant soul at this time, would not have possessed such a pure Holy Light.
However, what secret happened inside the Holy Light Church, the other party did not take the initiative to disclose it, and Veron did not dare to ask more. According to his past experience, inquiring into such a meaningless secret was only to satisfy his own curiosity, and it was very likely that he would be punished. to very bad consequences.
"Well then, esteemed archbishop, what do you need me to do?" Marquis Veron asked in a leisurely manner.
"It's very simple, that child still lacks some stimulation." Archbishop Yelikin still had a sympathetic tone: "Although he has begun to crave power, but the desire is not enough, I think... If his father, he scoffed at the surface, but deep down in his heart. The sudden death of the man he cared about should have a big impact on his heart! What do you think?"
"It's really cruel!" Marquis Veron sighed mockingly.
Archbishop Yelikin didn't care: "It's nothing, it's just a necessary means to achieve the goal, and the father should be very pleased to be able to sacrifice his life for the transformation of his son."
Marquis Veron frowned, and with such a natural tone of voice decided the life and death of others, which reminded him of his experience of being manipulated by others.
However, this slight discomfort did not prevent him from continuing to cooperate with Archbishop Yelikin, he pondered: "This may be a little troublesome, that person is Silabel's subordinate, and now he has left the capital and followed the army to the Scarlet Fortress. ."
Archbishop Yelikin said lightly: "This is your problem, I just need the result, and then I will complete what I promised you."
"Okay!" Marquis Veron shrugged and said, "I will find a way, but it will take time."
"Of course, I can wait, my patience is always good." Archbishop Yelikin said: "But I hope you won't make me wait too long, just three months!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Marquis Veron to agree or not, he just flickered and disappeared again...
A week later, in the evening, Green got off work from the headquarters of the Special Bureau and was about to go home.
It has been seven days since Silabel led the army away from Steinard, and the army went south, very smoothly.
Although there are many internal lines arranged in advance by the revolutionary army and Loen people in the red fortress, most of the officers in the fortress are still loyal to the Kingdom of Lorenzo.
Moreover, Silabel did not follow the main force, but on the surface was under her banner in the main force, but actually came to the Scarlet Fortress ahead of time. With her powerful forces and military prestige, she directly controlled the high level of the fortress. After killing four generals and more than 30 school officers who wanted to make small moves, the high-level officials of the entire Scarlet Fortress were honest, until the subsequent 50,000 Guards from the Royal Capital entered the fortress and fully took over the defense of the Scarlet Fortress. Then change the defense and reorganize, and everything goes smoothly.
But the situation in the entire Scarlet Fortress was more serious than Silabel had expected.
She originally estimated that the Scarlet Fortress, which nominally had 100,000 garrisoned troops, could have around 70,000 soldiers, but in fact, after the reorganization, there were only 50,000 soldiers, and the amount of empty pay was nearly half!
Silabel was no longer able to complain when she got the final report. Originally, she thought that the officials and nobles of Steinard were completely degenerate, and the army might be better, but now, the world is as black as crows, and there are even More than that.
Originally, Silabel didn't quite understand why Grand Duke Mora broke his wrist. She thought that with Grand Duke Mora's strength, her confidants, and the 100,000 elite Janissaries, there might not be any hope of turning the situation around. It's a pity that reality slapped her face fiercely. From the last rebellion in the northern province to the rebellion in the southeastern province, it has all shown that it is really bad, and there is no need for rescue.
And Silabel also understood why Archduke Mora did not pass the purge to reverse the tide of corruption within the kingdom.
Because there are too many people to kill, and these officials are closely related to the great nobles and capitalists, once they raise the butcher’s knife, they are enemies of the entire kingdom, and even Grand Duke Mora cannot afford such consequences.
Just like now, Silabel is in the red fortress. If you really go down from the garrison commander of the fortress, the twenty-four generals and the three hundred and seventy-two colonels will not be shot, and 80% of them are nobles. origin.
Therefore, no matter how angry Silabel is, he can only turn a blind eye, put aside corruption and not mention corruption, and only catch those who treasonous and surrender to the enemy.
Just today, the large army of the rebels has reached the walls of the Red Fortress and launched the first tentative attack.
In the sequence of the rebels, an artillery unit appeared. Hundreds of the latest field artillery from the Loen Federation launched three rounds of salvos on the red fortress, which was a great blow to the morale of the kingdom army defending the fortress. Never thought the rebels would have so many cannons.
Obviously, this is another great effort by the Loen people. They actually delivered so many cannons and secretly trained qualified artillerymen, just to be caught off guard by Silabel.
For the red fortress without a magic shield, the threat of artillery is undoubtedly very great. Fortunately, the red fortress also has cannons, and Silabel's Guards also brought a lot of cannons. Although the range is not as good as the latest model field guns of the Loen Federation, but The power is large enough, and the magician's blessing range is enough to hit the enemy's artillery position.
So after the three rounds of artillery bombardment by the revolutionary army, the artillery in the fortress fired back, causing some losses, and immediately transferred the gun positions.
Afterwards, the Revolutionary Army dispatched some cannon fodder troops and launched several small-scale charges, but they were dispersed by defensive fire when they were far away.
In the afternoon, Green received a magical message from Silabel at the Headquarters of the Special Bureau, and directly told him that the situation on the Scarlet Fortress was more serious than expected, and let him move faster on the side of the capital. Silabel estimates that with the current situation, it is unlikely to eliminate the rebels in the Scarlet Fortress. Although it was only the first day of contact, Silabel felt that the rebels this time were completely different from the rabble in the northern province, and even gave her a feeling of fighting with the regular army of the Loen Federation.
