Heart of the Castle

Chapter 815 Cracks in the Glorious Alliance
"Advocating justice is not a fluffy word, Chief Bamilian, I don't know if I have the qualifications to uphold justice for other countries, but at least I understand that justice should be upheld." Li Wei said solemnly, "Faith belongs to the gods." , the mainland belongs to the king, no matter what, it is not justified to use theocracy to override the king's power, and murdering the king of a country is simply a blatant provocation of the rules."

"Master Li Wei, a sage in the ancient country of Yahan once said that truth only exists within the range of the alchemy ballista." An old voice sounded from the other side of the street, and then Mr. Dish was wearing the robe of the great magister Slowly emerging into the night, the hazy white smoke from the meerschaum pipe dangling from his mouth swirls between his snow-white beard, as if putting a mysterious mask on his face. "We can deeply regret the unfortunate death of His Majesty Candom I of the Kingdom of Deldes, but as the king of a country, if he can't even save his own life, what qualifications do he have to defend the country's sovereignty?"

A slightly frustrated look appeared on Grand Duke Zandora's face.The reason why he wants to have a secret talk with Li Wei is actually, from a certain point of view, he still despises the young regent. At least in terms of the skills of the power game, Grand Duke Zandora does not think that he has decades of experience. My own self will not be as good as a teenager who is less than 20 years old.

But replacing the opponent with Master Frederick is another matter.

This mysterious old magician was completely unknown before Dawn Calendar 591. There was no record of a magician named "Frederick" in either the Magician's Guild or the Tower of the Archmage. The only thing that is somewhat credible is The rumors come from the city of North Aura in North County, where someone once said that a revered lich of the Soul Solace once called himself Frederick.

In other words, this is an old monster who has at least quasi-legendary strength and has survived for hundreds of years.

After thinking of this, Grand Duke Zandora couldn't help but feel a little bit bitter in his mouth. He knew very well that since Master Frederick appeared here, it was already too late to get help from the Kingdom of Arthur without paying a considerable price. An impossible thing.

However, what Grand Duke Zandora knew more clearly was that he had no way out.Cardinal St. Bogdan was already quite dissatisfied with his obedience to the orders of the Temple of Glory and his behavior of secretly accumulating his subordinates.Moreover, he has served as Regent for nearly five years, and his foundation in the military and political fields has gradually been laid. Maybe the Temple of Glory is already considering how to replace it with a puppet that is easier to control, even if Grand Duke Zandora is willing to do so. At.

Like a kid king who just celebrated his fourth birthday, and his power-hungry, almost hysterical mother?

"Dear Master Frederick, I sincerely beg Your Excellency Leviston to lend a helping hand to the Kingdom of Deldes." Grand Duke Zandora calmed down, and then his tone became more humble, "And this For the Kingdom of Arthur, it is not without benefits. The contradictions between the Glorious Temple and the Kingdom of Arthur are almost irreconcilable. Although they dare not confront the Griffon Knights with several legendary powerhouses, they will definitely not I am willing to watch the revival of Arthur's kingdom."

"Of course we know about these things." Director Bamilian interjected dryly, "Anyone with eyes knows it, but since threats of force cannot be used, what else can they do?"

"The Radiant Temple's approach is very cunning and covert. If it wasn't for the Kingdom of Deldes as a key part of their plan, I would have been unable to detect it before the whole plan showed its hideous face." Grand Duke Zandora Explain in as detailed a way as possible, "Requiring countries belonging to the Glorious Alliance not to export labor to the Kingdom of Arthur is only the first step, and then they will continue to take more vicious measures, such as prohibiting trade, passage, and postal delivery, in an attempt to glorify the Three Kingdoms Form an invisible chain with other duchies, large and small, firmly strangling the lifeline of the Kingdom of Arthur, and tightening it tighter and tighter, and finally achieving the goal of suffocating the Kingdom of Arthur."

A sharp light flashed in Li Wei's eyes, "Glorious Temple...do they really dare to do this?" The young regent's face was filled with indignation and confusion, "If trade is really banned If it is not the case, it will not only be the Kingdom of Arthur that will suffer losses, but the Glory Alliance will probably suffer equally huge losses."

"Your Excellency Leviston, your statement is really too tolerant. In fact, if trade is banned, the losses suffered by the Glorious Alliance far exceed that of the Kingdom of Arthur." Grand Duke Zandora shook his head with a wry smile, "However, this has nothing to do with the Glory Temple. What does it matter? They wish that the country to which the Glorious Alliance belongs has economic difficulties and struggles. In this case, the people at the bottom will only become more firm in their belief in the Lord of Glory, and put all their resentment and anger on those of us who are clearly on the surface. on the puppet."

"This is indeed something that the gods in the Temple of Glory can do." Mr. Dish nodded in agreement, "At that time, they only need to replace these puppets and deal with them severely to eliminate the anger of the people, and they will be able to I have gained even more fanatical and firm belief." He suddenly turned his head and asked a question coldly, "So, Your Excellency Grand Duke Zandora, are you about to be harvested?"

Because Mr. Dish's tone was too ordinary, Grand Duke Zandora didn't react for a moment, but subconsciously nodded, "Yes, I can sense... the Lord of Glory is here!" He suddenly woke up, His face was as pale as parchment, and he looked at Mr. Dish even with a trace of fear.

"It seems to be the case." The old magician showed a cold smile, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye, "Your Excellency, Grand Duke Zandora, you are actually desperate, aren't you?"

"Master Frederick, are you and Grand Duke Zandora playing some charades?" Li Wei asked in confusion, "Didn't you just talk about the conspiracy of the Temple of Radiance against us, why did you switch to another topic? Commander Bamilyan, do you understand?"

"I don't understand the same as you, Your Excellency the Regent." The head eunuch spread his hands sadly, "There are really too few clues in this regard, and my wisdom is too shallow to guess what Master Frederick is about. The deep meaning in wise speech."

"Master Li Wei, we will talk about this in detail when we go back." Mr. Dish smiled and squeezed his eyes, then turned to the regent of the Kingdom of Deldes with an ugly face, "Now I just need an answer, Your Excellency Grand Duke Zandora, After the Kingdom of Arthur sent troops to fight against the Temple of Radiance and turned your situation into a safe place, how much can the Kingdom of Deldes under your control achieve in return?"

Grand Duke Zandora hesitated a little, and before he could speak, Mr. Dish's tone suddenly turned as cold as ice, "Answer carefully, Your Excellency Grand Duke Zandora, your sincerity determines whether we are willing to lend a helping hand." .The long night is deep and dangerous everywhere, instead of adding an 'ally' with ulterior motives, it would be better to watch him be destroyed by the strife from the opposite camp, don't you think so?"

"I understand, of course I understand what you mean... His Majesty the former King Kandom I passed away too early, and the remaining prince, His Royal Highness, is not qualified to be king at all except for his blood, and he has not defended Del in the storm. The ability of the Kingdom of Des." Grand Duke Zandora's tone was slightly trembling, but no one can deny that this is a wise person who dared to make a painful decision, "So I am the guardian of the entire Kingdom of Deldes. I formally plead in the name of King Arthur, His Excellency Liveston, the Regent of the Kingdom of Arthur, to become the protector of the Kingdom of Deldes, and all government orders issued by the Kingdom of Deldes in the future will be guided by His Excellency Liveston!"
