Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 96 Sigmund IV (4)

The roar of the lions?Mrs. Bean's threat caused waves in Sigmund's heart.The Beans had a lion's roar, but what did he have?

The thoughts of an old man?Can Lozaria listen to him?He actually started to feel a little scared, afraid that he could no longer find his own voice.

Then, Sigmund walked in, and the Domanche family was divided into two cells. The Duke of Weiqingcheng "Fat Fish" Francak Domanche and his three sons Hubert, Malvi and Javier, only the youngest Javier is still awake.

Mrs. Olga was locked up with Mrs. Luisa Domanche and the five daughters of the Pisces family. Mrs. Olga pointed at his nose and yelled excitedly, saying that he was a "man-eating dwarf" and "a man-eating dwarf" Executioner of the Bloody Queen".

Lord of the Crater, Lesek Zarek the "Golden Stone" and his young wife, Xenia of House Perk, were locked together.

Lesek herself has been unconscious due to the poison of the symbiosis dream flower, and only 17-year-old Xinia is curled up in a dark corner of the dungeon, weeping and trembling non-stop. This should not be her home.

Under the cover of the Zarek family's gold-cloaked guards, Lesek Zarek's two sons, Felijan and Zimovet, both escaped from the King's Forest, which was tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

The high priest of the Zarek family, Bathoryk Zarek, has now been placed under house arrest in the tower of Smugberg under the order of Lozaria. If the priests in the kingdom hear the news, there may be some What a reaction.Lozaria is against the entire kingdom.

Sigmund walked out of the damp and dark dungeon, his footsteps echoing on the stone wall, his steps became more steady and determined.

He needs to do something before the war breaks out, maybe it's not too late to stop now.

His dark blue linen robes weighed on him as he ascended the winding stone steps to the upper floors of Smorgo Castle, his shoulders heavy with what he was about to do.

He passed the armory, where the air smelled of oiled steel and leather, where blacksmiths hammered handfuls of red-hot embryos and sparks flew from forges, reminding Sigmund of the imminent battle. advent.

The soldiers of the Black Army were wearing white cotton armor, with black iron armor and chain mail on the outside, rattling, and they looked at Sigmund with gloomy and vigilant faces.

Their chiefs were talking with their heads tilted, but Sigmund didn't see their leader, Rudomir. He knew that the "Black Army Lord" must be inseparable from Lozaria's plan.

He quickened his pace, passing through the busy kitchen where roasts and bread were being prepared, through the cobblestone gardens, and up to the gates of Jaegerska Palace.The kingdom guards made way for him, and he pushed open the iron gate and entered the hall.

On the stone wall in the hall are tapestries depicting the kings of the Korva family, Leon Korva the Noble, Kajetan Korva the Builder, Narciz Kor the Bald Dragon Va, "Iron King" Mikolaj Korva, "Joy King" Florian Korva, "The Merciful" Rezad Korva, and his old friend, Izdor Colva.

His nickname has not yet been determined, some people call him "The Great One", some people call him "Peace King", but if it was chosen by Sigmund, he would definitely call him "Wise King", not like Ha The wisdom of scholars like the "wise man" Hunard Apollo I of Straza, but the wisdom in governing the kingdom's internal affairs and diplomatic strategies.

He walked past the long oak table scarred by years of feasting and celebration, and at the far end of the hall was the crowd around the marble throne, three steps up, with its arms carved into dragon claws and the back of dragon wings. .

Queen Lozaria on the Dragon Wing Throne wore a golden lily crown inlaid with gemstones, a light blue velvet robe, and a white cloak with an extra collar than usual.Her back is straight, her eyes are cold and determined.

The sound of Sigmund's footsteps caused the officials to turn their heads and stopped their discussion with Queen Lozaria.

"Your Majesty." He got down on one knee.

"Lord Sigmund, you are late." Lozaria's reproach was not angry, he didn't know what had changed, the young queen's voice was still sweet and clear, but it sounded majestic, cold and strange .

"Get up," she ordered.

Sigmund stood up. Instead of standing next to the throne and the queen's left and right hands as before, he chose the last position of the ministers.

He silently listened to the speech of Earl Horatio Gretz of Shield Oak City. It turned out that the black army that raided the dukes in King's Forest had previously stationed in his castle, and he was the only one who knew about Lozaria's plan. count.

Lord Horatio had his little white hair combed back neatly. He had bright blue eyes and spots on his slightly wrinkled, tight face.He was wearing a leather jacket, black breeches, and high boots, with the Gretz family crest—a white wolf's head—engraved on the chest.

Horatio Gratz reported on his army—about four hundred well-armed soldiers, and about a hundred knights.If recruited before the autumn harvest, about [-] farmers could be gathered.

The Gretz family has always been the loyal vassals of the Colva family. After all, in return for their hard work and loyalty, King Leon Colva made them the lords of the lowly nobles and gave the Gretz family the Shield Oak City.

While they were talking, the soldiers of Shield Oak City were already rushing towards the Hall of Ashes.

Then there is Ichech Giri, Earl of Morning Castle, who can contribute more than 200 soldiers, 47 knights, and about 150 conscripts; Nongze Mateki of Buried City can bring [-] soldiers, Thirty knights, and left the rest of his army in the castle against the attack of the Wilkes and Domanches to the east.

Edmund Pacocha of Willow City promised about 180 soldiers and about [-] knights. He promised only [-] peasants and soldiers; Hundreds of soldiers, twenty knights, and several light sailboats met on the east coast.

The princes are all discussing the upcoming war, but they have forgotten their original intention.

This is an unjust war, an arbitrary war above law and oath, and no good will come of it.

"Your Majesty, I have six loyal and skilled servants, all of whom will obey your orders." With a showy smile on his bearded mouth, the "long-haired knight" Urban Dorak looked at Lozaria. Salute.His shaggy hair was still messy after the rare effort.

"Thank you, Sir Urban." Lozaria nodded, "I will never forget your heroic gesture in the King's Grove, you were the first to answer my call, and your loyalty will be rewarded .”

"Thank you very much!" Urban put his hands on his chest and saluted again, grinning.
