Shaman from Afar
v6 Chapter 253: The truth can't be said
The survivors swept away the ruins of the manor, put on armor armour plucked from the bodies of the elves, carrying heavy gold and gold lion battle flags on the black background, and Wutiao headed towards the imperial capital.
In the evening, Lusien and the two cavalry counts sent out by Loren returned slowly, tapping the spoils and reporting casualties and results.
The ending was unpredictable-the elf warrior did not lie, and in the evening two no fewer than hundreds of elf patrols hurried to the manor, before he caught up with the surviving survivors, he hit the demon hunter and The ambush of the Bain Knights.
Ten people were seriously injured, killed in captivity, no captives, all wiped out.
Faced with the wall-mounted charge of the prepared and ambush hunters and knights, and guessed the marching route, the elf warrior in the forced march has little room for resistance, and there is no chance of escape.
The people who rushed back rushed forward and were already eager for the next hearty raid.
The frightened little Yoder is more concerned about whether it will attract more enemies-compared with loot and prestige, he cares more about whether he can save his life.
As for the young priest Webb ...
"You know I'm actually surprised ... you didn't stand up against me."
Looking at Weber praying in the direction of the imperial capital, the dark-haired wizard was somewhat surprised to say: "Those survivors who escaped are somehow deceived by me to attract the enemy's attention."
"They don't know how to hide themselves, so they won't be discovered in a long time; as for the little armament, it's not worth mentioning in front of the elf warrior."
"So I saved them from one **** and threw them into another hell."
"Even so, you still saved them." Weber slowly raised his head and smiled at the dark-haired wizard:
"Loren, you may not even realize it yourself ... but you actually know how to save others."
"Save others?"
"Yes, this is what I just realized recently-saving others does not mean extending your hand to the abyss, but handing down a rope." Weber whispered: "You gave that child a hands-on opportunity, even if this The opportunity is not so ... beautiful. "
"But this is still an excellent attempt, which shows that when we do good deeds, we need to be more realistic and not stick to moral correctness; we should not stick to means, but to have a reason to ask ourselves, and In line with the result of 'rescue'. "
"The most important thing is that we cannot interfere with the choice of the rescued person-to determine the fate of others from the top. Such a rescue is probably the same as" control "and" manipulation. "
"You gave me another important lesson, Loren." The little priest pressed his hands to his chest with a very sincere expression: "So ... I support you to do this, go to 'save' them, let the Black Duke The name once again resounded through the Sacran Empire, making this name greater than the Empire Emperor. "
"Greater than the emperor?" Loren raised his eyebrows. "Don't devotees of the Holy Cross object to the worship of other things?"
"We object." Weber nodded with a smile:
"But when the empire needs a hero to stand up, no pious believer can take care of much-whether it is destruction or salvation, it is the will of the Holy Cross."
It's really practical as always ...
The dark-haired wizard who pulled the corner of his mouth, glanced at everyone who was watching him silently, waiting for the next task.
"Very well, today's battle should have made everyone have a more confident understanding of our plan." Facing a pair of excited eyes, Loren nodded: "Is there any objection?"
Little Yoder raised his hands without hesitation.
"Are you withdrawn ?!"
Lucien grabbed the collar of Little Yod, lest he really fall on Lord Loren's face.
"Very good, pass unanimously!" The dark-haired wizard, who emphasized his head and raised the corner of his mouth, said in a deep voice: "Then the next step is to assign tasks."
The eyes of the demon hunters and knights appeared as if they saw carrion hyenas.
"Lamarros!"
"in!"
The Earl of Lake City proudly raised the flag gun.
"Your task is the easiest-to advance along the Empire Avenue towards the imperial capital, I will send you a quarter of the Bayern knight and half of the ranger knight, do not touch any strongholds along the way, let alone entanglement; rushed to the capital city Even if it is a victory. "
"Another task: to protect the survivors you meet as much as possible, but don't be dragged down by their speed." The dark-haired wizard continued, turning his eyes to the count of Baimafeng opposite:
"Rigrel."
"in!"
"I will give you half of the Knights and Demon Hunters team-your task is more complicated, to a certain extent you need to judge whether you want to pull out the stronghold or ambush patrol; the direction should be intersected with Ramallos, but you must also try to Separate; it can make the enemy misunderstand that you are approaching him and grasping yourself in a proper way. "
The calm Earl of Baimafeng nodded slightly, not too excited.
"Lusien, you and all the rest, act with me." The dark-haired wizard turned his head to look at the slightly gray-eyed boy with a slightly complicated look:
"Our work is similar to that of Regrel, but it may be more troublesome; so you may have to act alone if necessary."
Speaking from his heart, Lusien certainly knows that this is Loren ’s enough trust in himself, and protecting Loren ’s safety has always been his first goal; but if he can act alone, it is a sign of Loren ’s trust.
So the mood of the gray pupil is very entangled: "... obey."
"Bishop Weber and Little Jord, also acted with me."
"All in all, no matter which team, the ultimate goal is the same." Looking around the crowd, the dark-haired wizard said in a deep voice: "Pull out the stronghold, ambush the patrol, and save the survivors ... all to kill the Azores. The blockade and the control area are completely disrupted, turning it into a pot of porridge! "
"Let them lose their balance and cope with it; let them not know what direction our main force and marching route are, and where the main force is-to change their territory into our territory and their blockade line Into our cordon. "
"If the expectations are good, the Azore elves may not have fully occupied West Sacran, so there are still many opportunities."
"Wherever we go, we must let the black lion's golden lion flag fly everywhere, and sparks everywhere-let the Azores and the reinforcements in the capital city know ..."
"Duke Black, come back--!"
"Follow the order —— !!!!!!"
………………………………
Staring desperately at the "devil hunter messenger" in front of him, the minister of the seal of the seal, Metternich, felt only a moment of cold hands and feet, and sweat constantly ran across his forehead from his temples.
The creepy atmosphere made everyone on the scene even a little short of breath.
To be practical, the sight of Carl Colin, the demon hunter, is indeed a bit scary. Except for the dress of the demon hunter, the original position of the legs is complicated by the two ends, just like the claws of some kind of wild monster. The metal armor shone with a grayish blue luster at the joints.
This is the "by-product" of Isaac's research-from the Mithril Sword that purely uses the characteristics of the power of the void, to the "floating city" that transforms energy, to the "powerful" light sword "; originally only existed in theory The technology in finally became more and more sophisticated in the hands of Isaac and Ain.
Not to mention a pair of simple prosthetic limbs, even if the limbs are gone and the trunk is seriously damaged, as long as the main organ and head are well preserved, it is only a matter of time and cost for them to build a full body armor.
But for the present Grand Duke Elman and the ministers of the seal, these external things are not enough to shock them to tremble-what really makes them silent is the information brought by the messenger in front of them.
"Your Majesty Connor ... dead?"
Metternich hardly knew how he said this words that he could not believe.
That ’s right, His Majesty Eckhart II died in the Vault of Heaven, but there are signs that it is likely that it was set by His Majesty; but this time, His Majesty Connor ...
In just half a year, the two supreme emperors died in fate, which is unheard of in the history of the empire!
"His Majesty Connold is at the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, and he has died with the tens of thousands of Azores who have invaded in large numbers-at the same time, Lord Loren Turin also beheaded the eagle king in the Valley of Blood."
Carl Colin nodded indifferently, or was covering his own equally shocked mood with indifference: "Plus His Highness Brandon is heading south, the army is gradually gathering in the direction of the imperial capital ... is the Duke Tell me all the information. "
"All?"
Even if the heart had begun to believe, Grand Duke Yuli Wiltz couldn't help but ask.
Carl Colin nodded seriously: "All."
"As for the marching route, strategic deployment, and how he traveled through the occupied and blocked areas of the Azores ... the Duke didn't tell me."
"why?"
"Two reasons-the first is that the Duke did not think about it at the time, this is my guess; the second is that if the emperor decides to provide assistance, then there is no need to say anything at all, this is what the Duke personally said."
Julie Wiltz sneered with a complex expression.
That's right, with the imperial capital's defensive strength at the moment trying to break through the Azore's blockade is enough, but doing so will take a certain risk, and the enemy will seize the opportunity to seize the weak points and pursue it.
Julie Wiltz has this self-confidence, whether it is himself or the Earl of Bayern's Mountain Rock Fort, who controls the city defense of the emperor, he can stick to it when the other leaves; but the nobles of the imperial capital do not have this "confidence"- Obviously, I hate these people to the extreme, but I am afraid that I will not let go anyway.
Not only that, even at this point, they still refuse to trust the army of Byrne and Elleman; the key city defenses of the imperial capital are still under the control of the "imperial guards regiment" controlled by the Imperial Parliament, and they are not right at all. Open with Byrne.
Wanting to unleash the true potential of the city and defeat the enemies while guaranteeing unity within the imperial capital ... Grand Duke Elmand found that this may be more desperate than a fight between the alone and the elves.
"This information ... for the time being cannot be known by the Imperial Capital and the Sky Vault."
After hesitating for a long time, Metternich finally made a decision and solemnly looked at the demon hunter messenger: "Your Excellency Karl Colin, thank you for your application, and thank Duke Byrne for letting you send this extremely important Message. "
"But please understand that the emperor is under siege and panic. I can't let this terrible news spread through the city-at least until I understand the idea of Duke Byrne, I will never do that."
The most important thing is that the supporters of His Highness Brandon and Her Royal Highness Princess Fitlowne must not be known.
Once the former gets news, it will inevitably cause a frenzy of party uniformity. In the current situation, the emergence of a political struggle is tantamount to a self-destruction in the top of the sky dome ... Infighting becomes a civil war, which is not new in the empire;
The latter is the key to the sky dome not to collapse at present-it is precisely because of the presence of the high princess, the sky dome and the emperor are not worried, and the nobles in the imperial parliament can play leisurely. A political game that has n’t changed much in hundreds of years.
Must not be discovered by Her Royal Highness Princess! Metternich is well aware of the relationship between His Royal Highness Fitronai and the other two brothers; it is difficult to imagine whether such a blow would completely destroy a woman who is strong enough.
But whether he can or not, he cannot take this risk.
"So I'm sorry to let you go for nothing-but also please believe that, in the name of Secretary of the Seal, I assure you, I will do my best to persuade the Imperial Parliament to send troops to rescue Lord Lord Byrne!"
Metternich deliberately said the word "rescue" very heavily, causing Karl Colin to frown slightly: "There are ample logistical supplies in the capital city right now, tens of thousands of loyal soldiers; when the Duke Byrne arrives, The warriors united under the banner of the empire are bound to expel the evil Azores from our land! "
Unity, unity, flags ... Even knowing that the emperor is now in trouble, he can't provide any help other than the nobles fighting with each other-if this is helpful-the minister of the seal, Metternich, still sticks to the final bottom line.
The one who saved the empire ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ must be an empire; the hero can only be the emperor or at least the royal family of DeSalines.
Karl Colin was not very interested in this political stance, and nodded and agreed.
The minister, who was finally relieved, turned away and pondered how to explain all this to the Imperial Parliament, the royal front cabinet, and the royal family ... Deception is absolutely not acceptable, but if you want to tell them all the truth, I am afraid it will cause extremely serious as a result of.
So, how much to say, how to say, and what method should be used to make them understand but not fully understand ... The joints are to be mastered by themselves.
This is the job of Minister Palmetto ...
With a wry smile and a sigh, Metternich walked out of the room.
At the moment of turning around, he suddenly stopped at the same place, and the bitter smile on his face was completely frozen.
Her Royal Highness Princess Fitlonay de Salion ...
Just outside the door! ()
