Dear Broom Knight
#142 - Silently burning white feather
Having spent so long in this world and encountered countless nobles who were even more treacherous than dogs, Lowry had gained a pretty good understanding of the ways of these fellows, whose veins flowed with the blood of power struggles.
If they wanted to steadily and continuously extract benefits from certain people, they would definitely keep their mouths shut.
Even if they wanted to obtain advantages from another group, they wouldn't expose the group they were already exploiting too obviously, at most revealing a few clues for the other group to find their way.
However, if they wanted to acquire sufficiently massive benefits in the short term, they would inevitably try their best to invite all relevant parties directly to the table.
Give you a reason you can't refuse to come, an interest you can't help but fight for… If you maintain your composure, then don't even think about sharing the spoils later.
Just like Alex had just directly revealed the news to the two branches of the Dark Moon.
How would the Earth Church prove that they resolutely stood behind the Icefield Royal Family to resist the Ice King?
Naturally, only a hearty battle, directly forging an irreconcilable hatred between the two sides, would suffice.
Only in this way would the new allies believe that the Earth Church was willing to give up the tacit understanding they had cultivated with the heretics for so many years.
In fact, the Tower Church, a standard heretical organization, was one thing.
The nobles and royals of various countries were very willing to use their existence to suppress legitimate churches.
Of course, the reverse was also true.
It all depended on who had the higher skill.
But it was too unbelievable that the Ice and Snow Heresy could flourish for so many years.
The intelligence of Ice Dogs is at the bottom of the dog species, maybe, no, definitely not as good as some ordinary dogs.
The Ice and Snow Heretics who could regard the Ice Dog pack as their true combat power and were willing to cooperate with the dog pack in battle, to put it bluntly, were equally intellectually challenged.
Especially those who spent years with the dogs, unable to even speak human language clearly… The people who attacked Montes Castle that time clearly didn't speak human language very well.
But they were obviously the main combat force.
Even though the Ice Dog King was originally involved in the incident at Montes Territory, it still proved that the Ice and Snow Heresy really didn't have any sensible people.
Otherwise, even if those plans still failed, they could at least take away a proper Divine Embodiment like the Tower Church did!
Even though the Tower Church had played them in the middle, it was the Ice Dog King himself who directly led the mother body to assassinate the Archbishop of the Storm Church.
When Lowry later summarized that incident, he felt that the most incomprehensible thing was this point.
Even if you really wanted to fight the Storm Church, you couldn't even wait for a few days after birth, right?
Of this family, the dumbest was indeed the second child, Masoud, but that guy's intelligence seemed to be at most a depression, really not to the point of a deep pit like the Ice Dog King.
The Ice and Snow Church couldn't even say that they had chosen the wrong parents for the parasite, resulting in their intelligence being affected.
However, these Ice and Snow Heretics who caused trouble in Montes Castle had, with the assistance of the Tower Church, achieved a relatively successful result.
At least they had some self-awareness in their hearts and didn't implicate the Tower Church in exposing themselves.
From Alex's performance, it could be seen that the Icefield Royal Family could only be said to be not normal people, but not like imbeciles either.
However, they couldn't even clear out such an Ice and Snow Heresy, so one could imagine how many foreign black hands were stirring inside.
After carefully studying those somewhat euphemistic history books during this period, Lowry vaguely had a feeling that this country was simply like an artificial vortex created jointly by several major orthodox churches.
Although it seemed that no church had ever caused trouble in the past, the fact that none of the six major orthodox churches had openly appeared in the Icefield Kingdom was actually the biggest problem.
The Northern Kingdom, a country with such strong royal power, had failed to prevent the Storm Church from doing those things openly and secretly!
The Dark Night Church and the Earth Church were obviously not doing nothing… That was to say, they couldn't do it.
But, if Lowry's speculation was correct, and the next hundred years would be a fateful node for the world to undergo tremendous changes, then the Icefield Kingdom, this vortex that seemed to have only a pure white color, would probably be the easiest to attract the newly born colorful colors.
The Earth Church's abrupt performance proved that they didn't care at all about angering the Ice and Snow Heresy, who were not very bright and regarded the dog pack tactics as their greatest competitiveness.
The fighting style of dog packs, especially vicious dog packs, has been the same from ancient times to the present.
As long as you make a move, they will immediately swarm up and bite directly, and may even rely entirely on the crazy momentum to overwhelm you without any tactics.
Unless you beat this group of vicious dogs until their swollen brains calm down and confirm that all their companions are gone, they will never tuck their tails and run away.
Even if they are hurt, these vicious dogs will have memories and will not easily provoke you again… But, if their population expands again to the point where they can't even count themselves, then they will come and bite you again.
Even a terrifying existence like the White Dragon King, who could make them dwindle from thousands to only a few in an instant, could not make this group of mad dogs choose to give up when they felt they were okay again.
It's normal for him to fight back in any way when others have already come to his door.
But even if he indulges the Ice and Snow Heresy so much, and even turns a blind eye to their claws extending into the Northern Territory, the Icefield Kingdom is still in a delicate balance.
Therefore, many things exist even if no one ever mentions them.
Lowry didn't know if the Icefield Royal Family was aware of these subtle things, but it was clear that Alex was much more ruthless than he thought.
He directly questioned the Dark Night Church whether they wanted to join the war in a place where anyone could be spying, in front of the confidant of the border lord.
The Dark Night Church… seemed to be following.
Lowry glanced at Ians, whose face was ashen but still able to smile and discuss some of the scenery of the Great Cliff with Alex.
Of course, he wouldn't sympathize with this high-ranking Dark Moon.
It was their own choice to enter the game.
Even if the White Dragon King's border guards were severely damaged as a result, Lowry would not have any sympathy… He had arranged Alex's return location at the Great Cliff with ill intentions from the beginning.
However, with Lowry's understanding of His Majesty the King, he might have already prepared another fast passage.
Hmm… Lowry felt that the dimensional passage that everyone knew about was probably going to explode.
Although Ice Dogs are brain-dead, their ability to act is really amazing.
This was not a good thing for Lowry, the Lord of Gezall.
Lowry didn't want to see so many mad dogs in his territory.
The Great Cliff was indeed very stable, but occasionally Lowry would look at the towering snow mountain connected on the other side and feel cold all over.
Humans probably can't really get through.
Dogs really might not be.
During the incident four years ago, many dogs crawled out of the snow mountain.
But Lowry couldn't blame the border guards on the Great Cliff for this either.
After all, that was a great snow mountain with countless magical creatures.
However, this matter also gave Lowry, the Lord of Gezall, a good excuse to let Mahr and Komran station themselves at the foot of the mountain very naturally.
Although these two knights have always had a low presence on Lowry's side, in essence, they are the people being trained in the direction of the commander of the Knights.
They really don't understand some of the things in the castle at all, but if you only talk about pure combat power, the four Thor brothers and sisters combined are not enough.
Of course, if they really fought, it would definitely be Mahr and Komran who died.
But for a small territory like Lowry's, these two guys who only know how to improve their combat power and are loyal enough to Lowry are completely sufficient.
Passing on the information, Ceska looked at Lowry, who was sitting by the window in deep thought: "Baron, do you need to remind Valera?"
Lowry glanced at her: "Not for the time being.
Are the Earth Church and Dark Night Church caravans still lingering in Qingfeng Valley?"
"Yes."
"Valera shouldn't be stupid enough to give up monitoring them, that's enough."
Sometimes, no change is the best way to respond.
"Prince Alex is ready to depart."
Ceska glanced at the message on her feathers and asked again, "Baron, are you really not going to see him off?"
"Someone from my direct knight order has taken a large number of people and defected…"
Lowry suddenly sneered, "The people who left are comparable to the Montes Knights of that year, do I still have to thank him?"
Ceska was stunned for a few seconds before she finally understood what her lord was mocking.
Sometimes, she couldn't understand Lowry's logic… Even if he was just looking for an excuse not to go out, these words were too blunt.
She could only nod slightly: "Then I'll go out and take a look, at least see him off on the city wall."
"Take Taylor with you."
Lowry ordered.
"Yes!"
---
Alex turned his head to look at Gezall Castle again.
With his eyesight, he could of course see who was standing on the outer city wall.
Silently sighing, the Icefield Prince knew that his last hope was gone.
In fact, he had been trying to make his admiration for Valera so obvious, and there was one most important reason.
Taking the last step and walking onto the main road leading to the Great Cliff, amidst the exclamations behind him, the beautiful white feather on Alex's chest directly ignited silently, and finally turned into specks of white light, flashing for a few seconds under the moonlight before simply extinguishing.
The Living Feather Light Knight Order, he, the first place besides the Icefield Royal Palace where he had developed some sense of belonging, completely severed contact with him.
