Oth Empire, a powerful landlocked country in Middle-earth.

Although it is a landlocked country, the first and third largest rivers in Middle-earth pass through the Austro Empire. Coupled with its own vast waterways and dug canals, its waterway hubs are also quite developed. The empire's merchant ships can travel along the two major rivers. The waterway leads directly into the estuary.

It can also trade with countries along the way. It is an inland empire with strong commercial attributes. Because of its developed waterways, numerous plains, and a lot of high-quality farmland, it is also an important trading country for Calais seeds.

Unlike the Principality of Nott, which is controlled by Calais, the Aussie Empire has a high food production, so it is not afraid of the threat of Calais suddenly stopping supply, and Calais will not have any influence on Oss, which has the legendary Paladin. The empire bared its teeth and acted very modestly, and the apparent cooperative relationship between the two parties was quite good.

There are also many Calais airship terminals within the empire. To a certain extent, the two sides are commercially complementary.

  After all, the arable area of ​​Calais itself is far less than that of the Austro Empire.

At that time, the famous warlock "Magic Blood Warlock" was sued by the Ossian Empire because of his own blood conflict.

Because although the current national legend of the Os Empire is a paladin, the royal family of the Os Empire itself is an excellent family of warlocks, and they also have various internal items to deal with bloodline conflicts.

It's a pity that the Os Empire took a fancy to the excellent enchanting and sewing abilities of the 'Demon Blood Warlock', and used this as a threat to recruit him. However, in the end, they underestimated the fighting power of the 'Demon Blood Warlock' who was famous for his enchantment. After making a big fuss, he escaped completely.

The legend of the country personally pursued and killed him, but failed to leave the slippery 'demon blood warlock' behind, which in turn made him famous.

 It’s just that for the Os Empire, the reputation of ‘demon blood warlock’ can be said to have been gained by stepping on their heads.

　　Not to mention the subsequent pursuit by Legend himself, the royal family of the Os Empire has always regarded itself as the number one warlock family in the mainland!

 Because the founder of the Os Empire was himself a legendary warlock, a true antique from the time when the two gods were alive.

 Later, due to the decay of his soul, he went to the abyss to take a chance before the deadline and disappeared.

 The current Paladin of Zhenguo was also adopted and trained by the other party himself.

 With an ancestor with such a card, there seems to be nothing wrong with calling himself the first warlock family.

 At least several other warlock families who have also produced legends have not specifically refuted this point.

Even today, many warlock families have indeed received guidance from the royal family of the Os Empire.

  But for such an imperial royal family, known as the first warlock family, he was not able to keep the "demon blood warlock" who made a big fuss, and the subsequent pursuit and killing did not have any effect. This is naturally quite resentful.

 Because in terms of hard power alone, even if the legend is excluded, the Os Royal Family still has an absolute advantage.

As a royal family, I was a little reserved at first and allowed the other party to escape, but later on I caused such a big mess.

This bad mood is like a big advantage in a five-man and six-god game. The feeling of being overturned against the odds by the opponent's six-dolan team made them quite sick and worried.

 Hence, there has always been a bounty on the ‘demon blood warlock’.

However, a heroine warlock that even the legend has not been able to catch the horse in person. This kind of reward is mainly based on doing it.

 No one would hunt down an unconcerned hero for no reason, let alone a great warlock.

Ordinary principalities may not be able to do much to the opponent with all their strength. Those that can deal with it have to consider the revenge of the opponent after escaping. Therefore, except for the Oss Empire itself, this bounty is almost useless.

 Originally, this was gradually forgotten by the Aussie Empire as time went by.

After all, it happened hundreds of years ago. Except for some old things, it is already ‘history’ to ordinary people.

　　But many people thought that the 'demon blood warlock' who had already shown signs of blood conflict that year might have died somewhere.

This incident that embarrassed the Ossian Empire has gradually faded away.

Recently, news related to it has appeared twice!

The first time was when a young talented mage from Calais Federation who was expected to be a great mage was killed by him in Dunno City.

This guy who has disappeared for a long time has reappeared, which really makes the Aussie Empire feel sick.

This guy is a walking stain!

 Anyone who sees him will think that this is the 'demon blood warlock' who escaped from the legend back then.

The Os Empire has completely become a foil, and the first warlock family of the Os Royal Family has become a joke.

Originally, if the other party only appears once, then forget it.

As long as the Ossian Empire continues to adopt a tough attitude and suppress the other party from taking the lead, the matter will gradually fade away again.

After all, even for the Os Empire itself, it would be thankless to go to great lengths to capture such a carefree hero class.

 In fact, there are not many people in the huge Ost Empire who can steadily suppress the opponent.

There are quite a few other hero classes, but wouldn’t it be more embarrassing if the lone pursuit was killed by the opponent?

 The team hunting efficiency is low.

 So the best way is to make a few noises and subdue the enemy without fighting.

As long as you can save face, that's enough. After all, so many years have passed.

But then there was news that in a canyon outside Dunno City, an undead archmage seemed to want to make a blood sacrifice and massacre the city.

This 'demon blood warlock' boldly stopped the opponent, and cooperated with another archmage to complete the killing of the undead archmage.

 For a time, this ‘demon blood warlock’ became a heroic figure that people praised.

Even bards have begun to sing about the great achievements of this 'demon blood warlock'.

This change immediately made the Ossian Empire smell a conspiracy.

 Someone is targeting the empire!

According to their information, it seems that the 'Magic Blood Warlock' himself is only a marginal OB, mainly due to the work of another archmage.

 But now there is a song about the "demon blood warlock".

There is no doubt that every time a pair of 'Magic Blood Warlocks' sing a song, the scars of the Aussie Empire will be opened again, and the opponent's most proud achievements will be mentioned again!

 This will definitely damage the reputation of the Os Empire and the Os Royal Family.

Even if they knew that they might be targeted or exploited, the Ossian Empire had to adapt to this matter and express its stance again.

“The Demonic Blood Warlock and even the criminal wanted by our country, any force that protects the Demonic Blood Warlock will definitely be an enemy of the empire!”

These righteous words were directly announced to all the countries in the entire Middle-earth continent in the form of a certificate of credence through magical transmission.

This made Grand Duke Keton, who had received the document together, feel a headache.

Although the Grand Duke of Keton is the head of a country in the Principality of Keton, he also deeply understands the gap between the Principality of Keton and the Os Empire.

Even though the two countries are far apart, if the Aussie Empire really wants to deal with the Principality of Keton, it only needs to send a few heroes to suppress Keton.

 Don't even send anyone, as long as you spread some rumors, the Principality of Keton will suffer all kinds of bullying.

Different from the carefree 'Magic Blood Warlock', the Principality of Keton has such a large territory and cannot escape, so this treatment is completely different!

With such a huge gap, Grand Duke Keton could only take the same initiative and send documents to the Austro Empire.

The country knew nothing about the ‘Magic Blood Warlock’ and invited the Aussie Empire’s investigation team to investigate and collect evidence to prove his innocence.

But no matter what, the 'demon blood warlock' was exposed for the sake of Dunno City.

 So although due to strength issues, they had no choice but to distance themselves from the relationship, Dunno also circulated the response documents from the Principality of Keton as quickly as possible.

 The meaning is obvious, someone from the Os Empire is coming, I'm sorry for you, run away quickly!

For the Os Empire, the most important thing was to save face. The Principality of Keton’s soft attitude and their investigation allowed the ‘demon blood warlock’ to escape, which was actually enough.

 This can be said to be the best theoretical result under multi-party balance.

  Can obtain acceptable results at the least cost.

 Just for Weber himself…

 Why should I run?

 Chapter 933

The Donno River is a main waterway that runs through the Principality of Keton, and can also be regarded as the mother river of the Principality of Keton.

However, the Donno River itself was not directly connected to the Red Maple River, the largest river in Middle-earth. Instead, a canal was dug between the Donno River and the Red Maple River to increase some of Keton's water transport trade system.

This canal can also be regarded as one of the main external ports of Keton, and the branch of the Red Maple River passes through the Idai River in the Idai Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Yidai, which was originally at war with the neighboring Kingdom of Dia, suddenly became much calmer in the past few days.

 It seems that the crown prince, who had been in a coma after the assassination, finally woke up.

Coupled with the fact that an undead archmage appeared in the Principality of Keton to cause trouble, combined with the recent war on the East Plains, it makes people suspect that there may be some connection.

 For big shots, they are not detectives, so there is no need to pay attention to any evidence, just feel free to testify!

The preparations of the undead archmage should not have happened overnight. If the recent turmoil in the East Plains really doesn't matter, no one would believe it.

 But if it is a normal situation, even if the Kingdom of Yidai discovers the ‘truth’, it is likely that it will not care.

 Because it is also in the interest of the Kingdom of Idai to suppress the Principality of Dia itself.

 The Principality of Dia, which has a great mage, is said to have a prince who has become a disciple of that great mage.

If their relationship is allowed to get closer, it will not be a good thing for the Idai Kingdom, the little overlord of East Plains.

After all, the influence of a great mage is not just about his own strength. It is still very troublesome to expand the influence of some classmates, friends who studied together, and the contacts he made while studying in Leo Floating City.

As a contemporary King of Yidai who owns an ancestral flying dragon and is still carefully cultivating a bipedal flying dragon guard, this is undoubtedly a stumbling block to his ambitions.

However, recently the envoys of the Os Empire are about to go to the Principality of Keton via the Idai River to conduct an investigation of the ‘Magic Blood Warlock’.

 With Without The King of Yidai can no longer assume a tense posture, otherwise who would he be showing off to?

The contemporary King of Idai is known as the strongest man in the East Plains, and his strength is even higher than that of Earl Luke. It is true that he has his own ambitions.

 But ambition does not mean that he is reckless.

Os Empire is not a weakling among the old empires, and it is really not something that the Kingdom of Idai can match...

 …

The Yidai River is a branch of the Hongfeng River. Although it is only a branch, it is also the most important river in the Idai Kingdom. The widest part is more than one kilometer. In addition to many fishermen, there are many fishermen on the vast waters. , the passing merchant ships and some flower boats moored on the shore all bring a sense of prosperity.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Idai, Idai City was also built on the edge of this river. It has three prosperous piers, the royal pier that is exclusively used by the royal family and is connected to the palace, the inner city pier used by nobles and wealthy merchants, and the inner city pier that is open to everyone. It is also the largest dock in the outer city.

Three piers have also successfully divided the city into three areas with clear distinctions.

Today, on the royal pier, the tall King Yidai stood on the pier and waited quietly, and behind him were several high-ranking nobles in the kingdom.

From a distance, a large wooden warship can be seen, slowly slowing down and docking on the water.

Although it is a wooden battleship, its body looks like a majestic body like a modern freighter.

There is the wolf flag of the Os Empire on the sail, and there is also a prow image exuding magical light on the bow.

Standing behind King Yidai, a white-browed mage wearing a robe said in a respectful tone.

"Your Majesty, this battleship has a strong aura of magic. Although it is flowing down the river now, I'm afraid there are a lot of magic arrangements inside, some for defense and some for movement."

 Speaking of this, the white-browed mage also had a hint of envy and emotion in his eyes.

 It is an established empire after all!

 He casually took out such a warship as an envoy ship.

Although it is not as free-flying as the magic airship in Calais, with the convenience of waterways, its defense power and cargo capacity can far exceed it.

 One battleship can fully demonstrate the strength of this old empire!

 Hearing the old mage’s reminder, King Yidai couldn’t help but nodded calmly, and then said directly from a distance of several hundred meters.

 “Welcome the envoys of the Austro Empire…”

 The deep sound was extremely penetrating, and it spread through the entire river.

It seems that even the water surface of the river has been smoothed!

 King Yidai may be slightly less talented than Luke, but with his own accumulation and the blessing of some resources, even if he does not count the flying dragon, he is even stronger!

Maybe the chance of breaking through to legend is not as great as Luke's, but there is no doubt that he is a top knight who still has hope of breaking through.

 The current number one person in East Plains!

The two blessings given to him by the Temple of the Moon God are also quite powerful. They have quite good resistance to magic and also bring strong recovery power.

As for the Os Empire, because the royal family is a family of warlocks, it has incorporated many relationships with other bloodlines. It itself also believes in the moon god. With this relationship, facing the greetings of King Idai, the ship is somewhat similar to Galen's. An old man with a resolute face also walked out of the battleship's plywood.

“Martinho, I haven’t seen you for many years, but you have become stronger. Maybe next time we meet, I will call you the Legend.”

This old man has white beard and hair, but his body is powerful. He looks like a grandfather who loves fitness. He has a giant sword more than two meters long slung on his back.

 Obviously, he knew King Idai.

Even if the Aussie Empire sends an investigation team here, it is impossible to just slap on the forehead and make arrangements casually. Those with local connections will definitely be used.

“It’s not that simple, but Earl Luke from the Principality of Keton you are heading to this time is more hopeful.”

 King Yidai laughed and sighed in his heart when he looked at the figures on the deck.

 An empire is an empire after all!

The investigation mission that only went out once actually had five heroes!

 One of them seems to be a great sorcerer from the royal family.

Even if we knew that the Ost Empire was trying to establish its prestige this time, if we could find the 'demon blood warlock', we would definitely hunt him down, so our strength would not be weak.

But they easily came up with a team that could easily sweep through ordinary principalities, which really revealed their strength and domineering power.

 Let alone the Principality of Keton, even our own kingdom is under considerable pressure when faced with this force.

And in addition to these five heroic ranks, there are also hundreds of demon wolf knights on this battleship.

 I struggled to rely on the convenience of flying dragons to manage to train a bipedal flying dragon guard team.

 But they just sent out a ship and hundreds of Warcraft knights, which was really incomparable.

The only thing that makes King Yi Dai a little relieved is that his two-legged dragon guard can fly after all.

 The mobility and strategic role are still greater.

Looking at the well-trained demon wolves that were not howling without muzzles, King Yidai also understood in his heart that the Principality of Keton was in trouble this time.

　　Perhaps the Os Empire didn’t just come here because of the incident with the ‘demon blood warlock’…

 Chapter 935

"What a talent. That fellow Beefeng didn't even tell me that he had such a treasure."

Wang Yi lay in the mage tower and looked through some strategies for "Bending the Bow and Shooting the Condor", and couldn't help but nodded secretly.



However, Wang Yi just looked at it casually and had no intention of trying to follow the strategy.

Recent rumors from the Aussie Empire have spread quite widely in Dunno City.

 Given the mode of information transmission in this world, this must be quite abnormal.

Although this world has the convenience of magic, which can be transmitted remotely, at the same time, because magic cannot be widely spread, there will be polarization in information.

This time the Bone Dragon in the Soldier Burial Canyon seems to be a big event, but the information itself will be spread. It will spread to all countries and even other continents at the first time.

However, this kind of news is spread through magic transmission. It will most likely reach the top level first, and then it will be slowly dispersed by organizations such as the Bard Guild according to the situation, and finally sink to everywhere.

However, in such a short period of time, rumors of a "demon blood warlock" spread among the people. If you think about it with your own feet, you can tell that someone must have applied eye drops to the Aussie Empire, perhaps hoping to divert something through this hot spot.

As for the ups and downs reported in Dunno, it was because the Principality of Keton could not withstand the pressure of the Aussie Empire and wanted Weber to hide as soon as he knew the news.

 “However, the response speed of the Os Empire is quite fast...”

Wang Yi found another post about the opening of Qin Dashao’s trade route.

Using the Flame Dog Caravan, this guy has excitedly arrived at Keton City, the capital of Keton, and made a lot of money.

The effectiveness of the various real 'local specialties' produced by the savages is undeniable. They are indeed more precious than the unit price of gold.

And now, because of the business mission, relying on this profit directly poured a lot of experience into Qin Dashao and the others.

 After their caravan returns to Dunno and adds points, and with the money earned this time, the ordinary members of the Flame Dog Caravan may be able to break through to the professional level.

If you are willing to join a nobleman in the professional level, you can immediately obtain the status of a knight. The status is different from that of ordinary people.

 And precisely because Qin Dashao arrived at the capital of Keton, he could feel the nervous powerlessness in the capital of Keton.

If Luke hadn't just captured the Western Mountain Territory and now needed to guard the border to prevent Nott from counterattacking, I would have wanted to call him back to greet him.

The coalition of nobles that had just been formed in the Keton Territory was originally going to come to support the East Land and the West Mountain Territory, but now it stopped halfway. Some important members returned to Keton City first, waiting for the empire to arrive.

Through some of PDD’s street photos and chats on the streets of Keton City, I can fully understand the powerlessness of this small country in the world.

"Brothers, to be honest, I really didn't expect that the empire just arranged for a delegation to come over. These people haven't arrived yet. I heard that they are still receiving hospitality from King Yidai in the Kingdom of Yidai, but the entire Keton Everyone was already very nervous, and Archduke Cton went to the direction of the dock again and again to personally check some of the reception arrangements."

While talking about PDD, we also came to the direction of Keton Wharf, which is connected to the Donno River and is also the starting point of the Keton Canal.

Flowers, red carpet, stage, and the welcoming group rehearsing, the atmosphere was full before anyone even arrived.

 Because the welcome group were all beautiful ladies, the effect of the program filmed by PDD nearby was really good.

 The most interesting thing is that there are a few guards with sad faces beside the PDD.

  For these guards, some enthusiastic netizens also gave a simple explanation.

　　Probably it was Keton who acted like a fool to support the players and collided with the mission of the Ost Empire. However, the savages were favored by Keton and could not drive them away.

 So there is no way to adopt a many-to-one tracking method.

The guards around PDD are not unique to him. Every player in the Flame Dog Caravan enjoys this kind of treatment.

 It can be regarded as a two-way protection.

Whether it’s Keton’s attitude towards the Aussie Empire’s envoy, or the fact that he had previously spread relevant news to Dunno in the hope that Weber would run away on his own, we can all see the difficulty of this sandwich cake.

After watching the live broadcast for a while, Wang Yi was also considering arranging a floating mage tower module above the core area of ​​East Plains.

Now that he knows something about the ‘Wisdom God Religion’, Wang Yi also knows not to be too big in this world.

Among the four gods of the abyss, what Wang Yi is most interested in is also ‘wisdom’.

Perhaps, there is an opportunity to use the isolation of the material world and the powerful world will of the Sophie world as a barrier to directly peek at the information of 'wisdom' from a distance.

 In this case, the speed and arrangement of conquering this world will have to be slightly modified...

 …

On the other side, the ‘Lone Wolf’ of the Austro Empire finally arrived at Keton along the canal.

 Compared to the King of Idai's personal greeting in the Kingdom of Idai, the envoys from the Os Empire showed a different attitude of communicating as equals.

This time, as the warship docked, they did not even get off the ship. They regarded the red carpets and welcoming guests at the dock as if they were nothing.

The same old fitness guy Rafael Hahn, who was familiar with King Idai, stood on the deck and spoke coldly.

　　"Arrange for someone to lead the way up, and the others to step back."

Even though Grand Duke Keton had arrived at the dock at this time, he didn't care about his thoughts at all!

This time, the Ostrich Empire came to Lycton to show off its power, so even the superficial courtesy was omitted.

Standing next to the Archduke of Keton, the great knight responsible for guarding the capital, Leden Mann, the head of the Royal Knights of Keton, could not help but speak in a deep voice at this time.

 “Everyone, our Grand Duke would like to invite…”

But before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by another young knight next to him with a sneer.

“This kind of rural principality just doesn’t have the eyesight to see that we don’t want to waste our time?”

 After speaking, the young man looked at the head of the Royal Knights with a Chinese character and said disdainfully.

"A great knight who uses potions to force a breakthrough will never be able to take another step forward for the rest of his life. Didn't I hear that you have a talented great knight in Keton who is known as a legend? Why haven't you seen him coming? Do you look down on us?"

Compared with the strength of King Idai at that time in the Kingdom of Idai, the capital of Keton, which had only one ordinary knight, was completely at a disadvantage when facing this team of envoys from the Ossian Empire. It was not even qualified for equal dialogue. No.

 And the other party doesn’t need to care about their feelings at all!

 Only the burly old man Rafael Hahn said something indifferently at the beginning.

“Young people are more energetic and don’t have any bad intentions. I hope you won’t be offended…”

 After finishing speaking, he seemed to have something in mind.

“By the way, I heard that a kind of wild man who claims to be favored by the gods has recently appeared in your principality? Bring one over and have a look..."

The PDD live broadcast room, which will broadcast the entire scene back, has also started to make various explosive speeches at this time

 “Appeared! Another villain!”

 “So powerful, is this an empire? It’s stronger than Calais!”

“It reminds me of the time when 577 was sitting on a small bench, and the representative of Syria was hiding aside and crying. Weak countries just don’t get respect. It’s really profound.”

 “At first glance, he doesn’t look like a good guy, he must be in the villain camp.”

“Is there anyone going to rob them on the river? How many mission rewards can you get by scuttling their boats…”

　　　…”

 For rebellious players, the stronger the opponent's performance, the more excited they become!

The Principality of Keton has nothing to bully, and there is no sense of achievement even when it comes to farming.

 It’s still interesting...
