Heart of the Castle

Chapter 929 Finale, The Griffin Queen on the Iron Throne
The long river of time flows forward and never returns, and the years change like wind and shadows. In a blink of an eye, ten years have flowed through the fingers.The memories that were deeply imprinted in everyone's heart like a brand were diluted by time into gray shadows. Except for the heroic epics played by bards that can still arouse the excitement of tavern customers, few people have mentioned the sky over the Pass of Death. What happened was the final decisive battle that related to the life and death of the whole world.

Instead, another voice came from the 12-member Council of the Jihad Fortress Tarlon, and even from the Griffon who held the strongest military power on the mainland on the Iron Throne of Philmeyer, the capital of glory. The queen—the voice of Her Majesty Freishil Stonfidel I.

No country, organization or individual can ignore the voice of Her Majesty Fleischer I, even those who have stepped into the realm of legend.Her Majesty the Queen is in charge of a Griffin Knight Order that can sweep across the continents. There are as many as a thousand elite knights with the title of Great Knight or above.Thousands of priests from the Temple of Radiance, Temple of Earth, and Temple of Storms sang praises for it. The three popes publicly declared their support for Fleischer I. Two religious knights, the Sword of Conviction and the Hammer of Judgment, were also stationed in the Holy War Fortress Behind the high wall of Tarlon, there are more than a dozen kingdoms, duchies, and free cities that still refuse to join the Griffin Alliance, or agree with the leadership of the Griffin Alliance.

Under the strong oppression of the Griffin Alliance, the originally scattered opposition forces colluded with each other and formed several small alliances that supported each other. However, such small alliances were not stable, and conflicts often broke out due to conflicts of interest. Thus falling apart.And behind these conflicts of interests, there is always an organization called Sleepless Eye secretly operating.

In ten years, the Griffon Alliance has annexed two kingdoms and five principalities successively, and eleven free cities have successively submitted documents expressing their surrender, thus becoming part of the Griffin Alliance's strong body.However, within the Griffin Alliance, not all voices are harmonious. Due to the contradiction between the distribution of interests and the status of the country, the Kingdom of Sigis and the Kingdom of Deldes have recently had some border frictions with each other. The caravan was looted, and the murderer's clues pointed to the Kingdom of Deldes; and the latter's two border posts were slaughtered overnight, and the few traces left on the scene also indicated that it was the armed knights of the Kingdom of Sigis.

The friction between the two kingdoms intensified, and the final decision-making power was of course handed over to the Griffin Queen Fleisher I.However, recently, Her Majesty the Queen has no interest in such matters, nor does she care about the situation on the mainland and the changes in the situation. Her mind has been completely focused on the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Holy War that will be held in a week.

For the leaders of the mainland countries, the holy war commemoration celebration is a very important day. On this day, all diplomatic and military disputes must stop, and all leaders must sit together to commemorate the sacred war. The [-] soldiers who died in battle, and Her Majesty Fleischer I's publicly acknowledged lover - the guardian of the entire Kingdom of Arthur, the head of the important ministers, His Excellency Prince of the Griffin, Li Weiston.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Boss Bamili Yang." Queen Fleisher pushed away the pile of sheepskin scrolls on the table with some annoyance, and gently patted the sharp and cold armrest of the Iron Throne with her hand. "Before the celebration, don't disturb my mood with similar things."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen." Dressed in a gorgeous silk robe, the head of the court, Bamili Yang, looked even more affluent. There was no trace of wrinkle on his face as smooth as a boiled egg, as if the years had not left traces on his body. "Grand Duke Zandora Fabiong, the regent of the Kingdom of Deldes, proposed to face-to-face confrontation with His Majesty King Helen Karaldini III of the Kingdom of Sigis at the celebration. I hope you can make a fair decision for them at that time. ruling."

"A just verdict?" The words that came out of Queen Fleischer's mouth were full of sarcasm, "Which of the two dogs barked first? Or who bit first? Praise Did Duke Dora think that I would do extravagant things on such an important day?"

"Ah, Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is not completely unexpected." Director Bamilian smiled and bowed, persuading in a soft tone, "The tenth anniversary celebration ceremony was originally a celebration of the sincerity of the leaders of the mainland countries. With unity as the theme, if at this time, Grand Duke Zandora Fabione and Herren Caraldini III can shake hands and make peace, it will undoubtedly be a very gratifying thing."

"Is that so? I understand. Presumably Levi will be happy to see this scene..." Queen Fleischer sighed deeply, then waved her hand wearily, "That's all right, Bamily Director Yang, I allow you to use all the power of the Sleepless Eye to ensure that there are no accidents in this celebration."

"Your order will be carried out to the letter, Your Majesty, please allow me to leave now." Director Bamili Yang bowed respectfully again, and then exited the room with light steps, leaving the silence to the memory on his face. Queen Frythir of Color.

The weather on the day of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Holy War was very clear. The golden sun hung high in the sky, pouring its fiery rays onto the earth without hesitation.Below the statues of the heroes of the holy war, the flags belonging to the leaders of the mainland countries have already been flying. Thousands of princes, ministers and nobles gather together, all kinds of luxurious clothes compete with each other, and the jewelry is as bright as the sun.

When the real ruler of the Griffin Alliance, Her Majesty Queen Frasier I of the Kingdom of Arthur, walked slowly, no matter what thoughts they had in their hearts, the leaders of the kingdoms and kingdoms on the road all stopped talking and stood up. Come, show proper respect.

The Griffon Queen has always been seen in public with armor and a long sword hanging from her waist, but it is the only exception in the commemorative celebration of the Holy War.Every time she came in a plain black mourning dress, with a withered black moon flower pinned to her chest.

"Thank you for coming to the commemoration ceremony of the Holy War." Queen Fleischer said in a calm and indifferent tone, while bowing slightly to everyone, "But since everyone has gathered here, maybe it can be used as a witness, by the way Deal with a matter within the Griffin Alliance, so as not to send it to the Council of 12 for a tiresome wrangling. Grand Duke Zandora, His Majesty King Caraldini III, do you agree with me?"

The expressions of Grand Duke Zandora, the regent of the Deldes Kingdom, and Karaldini III of the Sigis Kingdom did not change. They took two steps forward, then turned their heads, and stared at each other with sharp and cold eyes.Those princes and ministers and wealthy nobles suddenly became quiet and exchanged glances with each other.They have long heard of the grudges and frictions between the two kingdoms. The conflicts can even be traced back to before the holy war. The doctor accompanying the army is the trusted subordinate of Grand Duke Zandora.

"The reputation of the Griffin Queen's justice is obvious to all, and the Kingdom of Deldes is willing to accept your judgment." Grand Duke Zandora spoke first, with a gentle and polite smile on his face, but nothing penetrated into his eyes.

"The Kingdom of Sigis has no objection either." Caraldini III replied in a gloomy tone. His majesty, who has experienced the pain of bereavement, is not much older than Grand Duke Zandora, but he looks a little older. times.

"Okay, please go forward, both of you, and then turn around and face the leaders of the various countries and leaders, and tell the story of your disputes." Queen Fleischer ignored the antagonism between the two and said directly. "If the leaders of the various countries and leaders have no objections, I will make a ruling on your dispute in the name of the leader of the Griffin Alliance."

"I fully agree with your ruling, Your Majesty Queen Fleischer." While Caraldini III was still hesitating, Grand Duke Zandora suddenly said with certainty, and then walked towards Queen Fleischer, as if He bowed down as if wanting to kiss the corner of her skirt, "...but that's only if you can live!"

Changed into an armpit, even though Queen Fleischer had the skill of a great knight, she didn't have time to react. Her right hand subconsciously grabbed at her waist, but grabbed a sword where it should have been the hilt. null.This mistake was undoubtedly fatal, because at this instant, Grand Duke Zandora had already pounced on like a ghost, with ten fingers flashing with ominous black light, grabbing Queen Fletcher's throat.

A series of clanging and clanging sounds sounded, and several figures were shaking violently. They confronted each other violently with quick and barely visible movements, followed by several uncontrollable muffled groans, and the figures separated like lightning.

There were exclamations, and several knights with extraordinary skills drew their swords out of their sheaths, while more people stepped back.Queen Fleischer's neck had already been tightly strangled by Grand Duke Zandora, and the pitch-black fingertips contrasted with the fair skin, which looked particularly shocking.Four shadow assassins holding poisoned daggers were separated on both sides, two of them were seriously injured, while the other two lowered their bodies silently, as if they were ready to attack at any time.

"Zandora Fabione, do you know what you are doing?" Caraldini III was as surprised as anyone present. His Majesty the King also possessed quite good skills. He immediately pulled out his sword and pointed at it. The back of Grand Duke Zandorah. "Release Her Majesty Queen Fleisher immediately, the dispute between the Kingdom of Deldes and the Kingdom of Sigis must not be resolved by betrayal and assassination!"

"No, he's not Grand Duke Zandora." Queen Fletcher questioned in a calm and composed voice, "or it should be said that Grand Duke Zandora has been controlled by something evil!"

"As expected of the Griffon Queen, you guessed it right." Grand Duke Zandora said in a weird voice, as if there were several men, women and children hidden in his throat, and almost every word used a different voice , "My name is Garibaldi, and some people like to call me by the nickname - the borer, since ten years later, the world has become too peaceful, so I can't always collect souls to fill my stomach Ah. I think if the leader of the Griffin Alliance dies here, and dozens of kings and grand dukes are buried with him, the boring world will become more lively, right?"

"No, you can't do anything." A young man's voice sounded from behind Garibaldi, but just after hearing this voice, the expression of the head of the evil immediately changed from cold and heartless to extremely terrifying, almost subconsciously Turning around quickly, she blocked Queen Fleischer's body in front of her.

"You, this is impossible, impossible, you should have been destroyed together with the Domain of God, how is it possible?" Garibaldi's shrill howl was almost crazy. "Your aura has completely disappeared, along with the Godhead of the Creator God!"

"It took a lot of time to repair the godhead and the domain of gods, and it is not easy to reopen the passage." A figure shrouded in holy white light appeared behind Garibaldi, but there was not much sacred and solemn flavor in his tone , but with a kind of joy mixed with anxiety. "It's a good thing I'm not late, Flasher, my love, I'm back."

"You, don't you forget that Fleischer's life is in my hands now!" Garibaldi the disgusted man threatened sharply, "It seems that I am the one favored by this world, and I will be free forever. Use this life in my hand to exchange!"

"Don't be so troublesome, Garibaldi, just disappear."

The figure replied indifferently, and at the same time lightly waved his arms, Garibaldi's crazy roar stopped, and then his whole body stiffened, and the dirty black breath flowed out from his eye sockets, nose and ears, Dissipated into the air with bursts of wailing.

"Fleischer, that..." The figure touched his nose helplessly, "I should say sorry for keeping you waiting for so long..."

The fiery lips blocked all the next words in their throats. At the ceremony of the tenth anniversary of the holy war, a pair of lovers who had been separated for ten years embraced again and kissed passionately.At this moment, no matter what kind of thoughts they had in their minds, the leaders of the various states in the mainland, as well as the princes and ministers and nobles from all over the world, all clapped their hands and welcomed the return of the holy war heroes with warm applause.

The holy light descended on the world like a torrential rain, more figures appeared above the sky, one hero statue after another glowed brightly, and the sacred singing lingered in the ears. This was the first time in the history of the mainland for hundreds of years. Second-rate.
