Lord of War

  An old man with a haggard face, supporting a young woman, is cautiously advancing in a dense forest.

   Surrounded by six men of different ages, there are 17 or 8 year olds, 23 or 4 year olds, and 30 or 40 years old middle-aged. Although their age gap is huge, what they have in common is that they have an extremely strong and strong aura, and everyone has awe-inspiring murderous intent, obviously not ordinary people.

   But looking at the six people around him, the old man sighed helplessly.

   There were thirty people who had followed them.

  These people are the real family members cultivated by the old man. It can be said that they are the elite of the elite. The growth of each individual has taken the old man's great efforts and resources. Among them, the three most powerful were given names by the elder himself, namely, Shadow Ghost, Shadow, and Shadow Demons.

  Three Shadows, these are the three chieftains of the famous Black Feather Nightingale under the command of the Marquis of Floris.

  There is no doubt that this old man with a haggard face and gray hair is the Marquis of Floris. It’s just that at this moment, he seems to be much older than he was a few months ago. It looked like an old man who was over half a hundred years old and about to die.

  And there is only one person who can be supported by the Marquis of Floris himself.

  Her Royal Highness Princess Fulhis.

   "My lord Marquis Floris, let's rest here." After a short distance, Princess Fulcis suddenly said.

  The breath of the Marquis of Floris is a bit disordered, which is obviously caused by lack of physical fitness. He knew what was the reason for Princess Fulhis' request for a rest, so he said: "It's okay, Your Royal Highness, I can hold on, let's move on."

  Folhis glanced at Floris who was panting, and after walking for a few steps, he said: "But Lord Marquis Floris, I'm tired, can you give me a rest?"

The Marquis of Flores looked at the princess in front of her. Her dress was simple. She was a village woman stolen from a small village a few days ago. However, after so many days of travel, her clothes are also available. There were multiple damages, and even his arms and face had several scars cut by thorns. However, although the princess looked gray and gray, her spirit was obviously very good, and the whole person also had a great temperament change.

  No matter how you look at it, at least this princess does not look tired at the moment.

  It’s just that, before Floris could speak, the princess had already stepped aside and sat down to rest.

  As a result, the Marquis of Floris is not good to say anything, he can only say to a few black feather nightingales around: "Then let's rest for ten minutes."

  "Ten minutes is not enough." Her Royal Highness Princess Frches said, "It will take at least half an hour."

"Your Royal Highness, it's okay, ten minutes is enough for me to recover some strength." Marquis Floris sighed softly, and then sat on the floor directly, "Our current situation is still very dangerous, and it is easy to be exposed if we stay for too long. So ten minutes is already the limit."

   "Okay." Seeing Floris insisted so much, she didn't say anything, nodded and agreed to the arrangement of the Marquis of Floris.

The six Black Feather Nightingales of different ages also found a place to sit and rest. Although in terms of their physical stamina, they do not need to rest, but it is rare to have ten minutes of rest, and they will definitely not waste it. After all, The actions in the past few months were extremely difficult tasks even for him. In particular, the team of nearly thirty people now has only six of them, and even the three shadows known as the strongest in the Black Feather Nightingale team have been damaged. One can imagine how much their consumption is.

  Moreover, they don’t know when this action will end, so they will certainly not waste this kind of relaxation time.

It’s just that although the six are in a state of rest, the scattered positions of the six perfectly protect both the Marquis of Floris and Princess Frches in the middle, and at the same time, they can monitor everything around them. The situation, this is enough to see the training quality of these six Black Feather Nightingales.

  Ten minutes is not long, it will pass quickly.

  The control of time by the Marquis of Floris is almost accurate to the second level: when the second hand of the pocket watch just skipped the last second, he immediately got up.

  As the Marquis of Floris got up, the six Black Feather Nightingales also stood up at the same time, and then began to move closer to the middle, and Princess Frches also stood up.

  Beware of the attack, but did not appear, and a group of eight people quickly went on the road again.

In these days’ itinerary, the transformation of Princess Fulthis is undoubtedly the biggest one, and it also allows the Black Feather Nightingale to see a princess that is completely different from the rumors: she has not screamed, weeped and was tired, and has never She complained about anything, within the range of her ability, she was also working hard and studying alone, and did not still maintain the princess's habits during this escape route.

  Of course, Princess Fircis is really not good at survival in the wild, so she has so many scars on her body.

"Hold on for a while. After we get out of the dense forest, we can reach Wende Ling, which is currently one of the few areas not controlled by the Black Hawk." The Marquis of Flores said, "But it is very close. The Tonys Fortress is now, and I heard that the Void Empire has officially declared war with the Kingdom of Line, and the battle has become a bit fierce."

   "War is officially declared?" Princess Vrches bit her lower lip, her face looked a little ugly, "My idiot brother! What stupid things did he do!"

"If we hadn't officially declared war, we can't act now." The Marquis of Floris sighed slightly, and then said, "The Void Realm of the Void Duchy has already been infiltrating the Kingdom of Lane by a large margin. The intelligence organization on the side can't resist this kind of infiltration, so Wendeling will get out of Black Hawk's control....As long as we get there, we can try to communicate with the Void Realm."

  Fulhis nodded: "Then...Grand Duke Asuna, is there no news yet?"

"We can't get in touch with the shadow now, so I am not very clear about the specific situation." Marquis Floris sighed. If Asuna and Vivienne weren't blocked at first, they would simply It is impossible to escape. After escaping, it was heard that Vivian died in battle and Asuna was taken prisoner. Naturally, several of them, including Elizabeth, felt extremely uncomfortable, and at the same time they began to plan to rescue Asuna.

  It's just a pity that, because of Floris' carelessness, he did not expect that his intelligence department had been planned by the Black Hawk, so naturally he was caught in the trap set by the Black Hawk. At that time, if it were not for Elizabeth and the Shadow Ghost to fight back, everyone, including his Floris, would not have survived, because Grain was determined to kill Fulhis-this is already official The act of tearing his face, because as long as Fulhis dies, the orthodox inheritance of the Ryan Kingdom falls on Grain.

  The prince Adams, because of being isolated and unable to return home, his inheritance rights have long been removed.

This is the common dispute problem of the royal family without designating an heir. Originally, the orthodox heir of the Lane Kingdom has been determined to be Arlan, but in fact, when he attended the Libra Conference, he was already regarded as a quasi-king. After returning from the meeting, he will be officially crowned king. So in terms of ethics, the Kingdom of Lane is now a second race for the heir to the throne-one of Grain and Fulhis.

  However, according to the situation at the time, it is only Fulcis who succeeds to the throne, not Grain, and it is impossible to be Adams, who was excluded by the entire king capital and the southern nobility. It is precisely because of this that Grain designed to frame Vulhis, and even ordered the arrest and attempted murder. It was only after Sean’s total rampage and the complete destruction of the Peace Council that things were completely out of control. I want to save Asuna's life.

  Otherwise, according to Grain's plan, Asuna is also a mortal.

But now, with Sean’s whereabouts unknown, Grain has finally officially torn apart with Vulcis-as long as Vulcis is dead, Grain is the only orthodox heir of the Kingdom of Ryan, and he can officially take over the entire Ryan. Command of the kingdom. The real reason why Grain was so frantic was naturally because of the madness of the current Phoenix Queen Cecilia.

  The Void Empire captured the Thorus Fortress, beheaded all the royal family members of the Fascist Kingdom, and completely severed the blood of the Fascist Kingdom, then quickly withdrew its troops from the Fascist Kingdom and entrusted the entire territory of the Fascist Kingdom to the Chenas Empire. Later, under the cooperation of William and Hela, in less than a month, all the territories except the Tonis fortress of the entire Kingdom of Lane were regained, but Cecilia did not have time to manage these territories, so he All these territories were given to the members of the League of Seven, including the Duchy of Garrod and the Duke of Tequila.

Therefore, currently in charge of fighting against the United Nations of the Karossa tribe and the Robin Knights, it is the Duchy of Garrod under the command of Elizabeth and Simi, and the Duke of Tequila, the Duke of Black Mandala, etc. In the past, they formed a seven-man alliance with Sean. the member of.

  After shifting the strategic offense and defense, William and Hela were finally able to join forces to formally deal with the Kingdom of Lane.

Not to mention the battle strength, Grain, who failed to completely take over the entire Kingdom of Ryan, did not even have the power to mobilize the army. Both Ryan’s strongest sword and the strongest shield found an excuse to refuse to fight. You must know this. The two control more than one-third of the entire Kingdom of Lane; and the northern nobles have always obeyed the command of Prince Adams. Judging from the means designed by Grenn to frame Adams, it is natural that the northern nobles cannot send troops to the south. After all, Gray En Ke hasn't officially enthroned yet.

  So in fact, the only forces that Grain can control are the private soldiers of the southern aristocratic factions and the regiments stationed in the south, as well as the forces of the royal capital. And this force is even less than one-third of the entire Ryan Kingdom. If it weren’t for Grenn’s deep understanding of the importance of Tonis fortress and Black Hawk’s firm control of Tonis fortress from the very beginning, Maybe Tony's Fortress has already opened the door to let the army of the Void Empire enter.

  When it comes to Tonys Fortress, one has to talk about the Nibelungen Magic Circle that Shaun gave Asuna back then.

When Asuna moved out of the Tonis fortress, she passed the magical pattern to the Royal family of Ryan. Later, under the joint hands of Grenn and the Marquis of Floris, a large-scale reconstruction of the Tonis fortress was carried out. The Nibelungen Magic Circle was built. It is precisely because of this that the army of the Void Empire is unable to completely level the Tonis Fortress, and can only rely on the most primitive and ancient methods of siege warfare to attack.

  Today, the defenders of the Void Empire and Tonis Fortress have left over 100,000 dead bodies. Although more than two-thirds of them are the corpses of the soldiers of the Void Empire, even if the Lion Kingdom as the defender only paid less than one-third of the battle damage, this is still an extremely heavy loss for the Lion Kingdom. , After all, they don’t have reinforcements—Although Alexis, Kozilek, and Ulamog can’t directly attack Tonis Fortress, they can go to the back of Tonis Fortress to prevent the arrival of enemy reinforcements.

   Putting any super-powerful person to rampage in the area behind enemy lines is simply a terrible disaster.

  And what is more terrifying than this kind of disaster?

  That is to let the two super superpowers run rampant behind enemy lines-now Alexis and Kozilek are making trouble in the rear of Tonis Fort, completely cutting off all the reinforcement possibilities of Tony Fort. And Ulamog is responsible for the main attack on Tonis Fortress: even if he can only summon 30,000 void creatures every month, this is still an extremely terrifying and powerful aid.

After all, everyone in the Void Empire can see that the Fortress of Tonys after cutting off all reinforcement possibilities is a pure tortoise shell. One day the defender dies or the will of the defender is completely collapsed, then the Fortress of Tonys has fallen. Time.

Of course, under this circumstance, Cecilia’s resentment towards Sean is naturally extremely strong-she knows that Sean gave the Nibelungen Magic Circle to Asuna, so she also started from the beginning. I recognized the Nibelungen magic circle that was rebuilt in Tonis' fortress.

  But instead of resenting Shaun, what Cecilia wants to do now is to kill Grain.

  If it weren't for Grain, Asuna would be fine.

  If Asuna is fine, Sean will not save her.

  If Sean does not save Asuna, he will not go to Ryan.

  If Sean doesn’t go to Ryan, then he won’t be missing.

  Because of these linkages, Cecilia not only wanted to kill Grain, but also lost the good impression of Asuna.

  But he knew that Asuna was the person Shaun wanted to save. For this reason, she was willing to spend more time and create more pressure to force Grenn to give up all resistance and send Asuna back. Of course, if Grain kills Asuna, then Cecilia doesn’t mind going to the Royal Capital of Ryan immediately and doing everything possible to toss Grain, but Cecilia knows very well and is as smart as Grain Guy, he would never kill Asuna.

  It is precisely because Grain is so smart that he is also gone now.

   But all this is exactly what William wanted.

  William, who is well aware of the work of intelligence transmission, knows very well that unless Grain abandons the Kingdom of Lane, it will not be easy to find him. It’s a pity that Grenn, who wants to become King of Lane, can’t give up this throne, so even if he hides well, he needs to remotely operate the affairs of the entire kingdom, and as long as he still does not give up the manipulation of the Kingdom of Lane, then The orders he passed out were traces to follow. As long as these traces and clues were found, Grain could be traced out completely.

  It’s just that there is only one opportunity like this, so William will not act rashly before determining where Grain will be the last hiding place.

Unlike what the outside world has speculated, after getting rid of the entanglement of the three battlefields, more than two-thirds of the members of the Void Realm have penetrated into the Royal Capital of Ryan. It can be said that the entire King of Ryan has fallen into William's. Under surveillance. In addition, the Void Empire also knew everything in the Kingdom of Lane, so they knew very well that at the moment, the Marquis of Flores and Princess Frches were trying to get to Wendell to try to communicate with the Void Realm. Attempt to leave the Kingdom of Lane and go to the Duchy of Garrod.

It's a pity that the Marquis of Floris and Princess Frches, who were the parties, didn't know that their whereabouts had been completely exposed.

  They are still advancing cautiously in the dense forest.

  From the itinerary, they have at least one day before they can leave the jungle and enter Wende Ling.

  A Black Feather Nightingale suddenly raised his right hand, and then quickly made a gesture.

  This gesture is very clear: someone is approaching!

Because the dense forest is relatively quiet, even the Marquis of Flores kept his voice down as much as possible when communicating with Princess Frches. After all, they were still on the run this time-if they had a choice, The character of the Marquis of Floris is that he will never make the adventure of taking the princess across hundreds of miles, but they have no choice.

  Shadow lost contact with Flores in the capital; shadow ghosts and shadow demons died in battle: one died in the counterattack with Elizabeth, and the other died in an enemy raid a week ago. It was precisely because of that raid that Floris had to take the remaining Black Feather Nightingale to protect Fulthis from fleeing overnight, but he didn't expect that this time the attack was also the elite of the Black Hawk, so he fled all the way. War, there were only these six Black Feather Nightingales by Floris's side, and even he himself was seriously injured.

  After seeing the gestures, two of the other Black Feather Nightingales quickly stepped forward, one turned and disappeared into the dense forest, and the other two got close to Floris and Fulthis.

  The six people have a clear division of labor, and their movements are as proficient and natural as the flowing water, which makes Fulhis' heart settled a lot.

  But soon, the black feather nightingale who gestured first immediately made another more complicated gesture, but this jewelry gesture made Floris's face difficult to look. Even Fulcis could feel the abruptly tight bodies of the two Black Feather Nightingales around him and the subtle tension exuding from them.

   "What's wrong?" Vrches asked in a low voice.

   "A lot of people have come." The Marquis of Flores gave a wry smile, "It should be to hunt down our enemies...Unexpectedly, some nobles still chose to take refuge in Grain."

Vulhis immediately heard the subtext from the words of the Marquis of Floris: This time it was not the Black Hawk's subordinates who had been fighting against the Black Feather Nightingale in the jungle this time, but the nobles began to formally intervene for their own benefit. Here comes this throne dispute.

  But in this way, Vulhis is even more confused.

  No matter how you look at the current situation, it is obvious that Grain is at a disadvantage. The Void Empire will obviously not let Grain go, but why would there be nobles who still choose Grain when they know this? Is it really because the chain of interest has been tied too deep and cannot be broken away at all? People with a little bit of mind would definitely choose to wait and see in this situation, rather than continue to support Grain.

It is precisely because of this that Fulsis was able to cross hundreds of miles with Floris in just one week. Otherwise, the nobles along the way only need to make a small shot, and the Marquis of Floris would never be able to carry him with him. Hersis ran away. After all, any nobleman in the field will definitely manage his territory like an iron barrel. It is impossible for two groups of people to fight in their own territory, but the lord who is the leader of the territory knows nothing. condition.

"My lord, hurry up, let's break it!" The Black Feather Nightingale who went outside to spy on the situation has returned at this time, but the news he brought is obviously not good, "I don't know which lord's private Soldiers, family crests, and all signs have been removed. The size is about a hundred people, but this is just the vanguard. I just observed that there are probably more than two hundred hunting troops a little far away. They A big encirclement network is forming."

   "In other words, the hundred people who came to be surrounded are ‘shepherds’?"

Sheepdog is a military tactical term for Marvel Continent. It usually refers to the troops responsible for driving away the enemy. Their goal is to drive the enemy to the designated combat area, usually the entrance to the encirclement net; while the driven enemy is Known as the flock.

  The Black Feather Nightingale nodded and did not speak.

The look on the face of the Marquis of Floris became more haggard: "Oh, it seems that we will not be able to reach Wende Ling.... The Black Hawk arranged the shepherd dog here, so all our routes to Wende Ling must be They are all blocked."

   But at this moment, there was a scream in the dense forest.

  The Marquis of Flores all looked at each other, obviously not clarifying the development of the situation.

   And then, the changes in the situation completely exceeded their expectations.

Suddenly, the sound of killing sounded throughout the dense forest, and from the sound, it was obvious that it was not limited to the side of the Marquis of Floris and the others. The enemies who had opened the encirclement net a little far away were obviously also attacked. For a while, the entire jungle fell into a melee.

One Black Feather Nightingale quickly left again, and the other five Black Feather Nightingales had obviously given up their vigilance and surveillance. The battle situation like the one now is no longer something they can reverse. After all, even if they are strong, they cannot possibly Breaking a **** path in the encirclement of the regular army--maybe it's just a personal escape, but it is obviously impossible to protect the seriously injured Marquis of Floris and Princess Frches.

   But this time, the Black Feather Nightingale who had left to spy on intelligence came back soon.

   "What's the situation?" Marquis Floris asked.

   "It was the Grey Night Guard of the Rodis family that started fighting with the unknown enemy army."

   "The Grey Night Guard of the Rodis family?" Marquis Floris murmured to himself, "Why are they here?"

  However, before the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, several Black Feather Nightingales quickly made a defensive fighting action.

  Florius looked at the source of the rustling sound of footsteps on the grass, and then watched a young man in armor walk out of the bush with a helmet under his arm, and said in a deep voice, "Robd?"

   "We meet again, Lord Marquis of Floris." Robald greeted with a smile, "But meeting in this situation really makes me feel a little subtle."

  The Marquis of Floris snorted coldly, and did not speak again.

However, from what he listened to, it was clear that the Grey Night Guard was gaining the upper hand, because the shouts of killing have become smaller and the sound of the collision of the blades is gradually decreasing. All this fully shows that the identity of the team is unknown. 'S army is not an opponent of the Grey Night Guard at all. Moreover, judging from the gray night guard soldiers gradually appearing around, it is also completely impossible for the Marquis of Flores and others to escape.

As if he felt the hostility of the Marquis of Flores, Robald chuckled lightly, "My lord, Marquis of Flores, I have no malice. So you don't have to be so hostile to me. This time I am also entrusted by others to come to rescue you. , And **** you back to my land of Rodis."

  The Marquis of Floris obviously did not trust Robud’s words, "Can you represent the entire Rhodes family?"

"Of course." Robber nodded, "Isn’t that the best proof that I can command the Grey Night Guard? Oh, I almost forgot, Lord Floris, your current situation is not good for outside intelligence. Too much understanding...Well, I am now the patriarch of the Rodis family."

"You?" The Marquis of Floris looked incredulous, because he remembered very clearly that the possibility of Robud inheriting the Rhodes family is very small, unless someone helps him, "Who entrusted you to rescue us? ?"

  "Entrusted by Her Majesty the Queen of Phoenix in the Void Empire."

  Two highland elves walked out of the jungle, and behind these two elves were about thirty highland elves and steppe elves with similar dresses. The Marquis of Floris, who knew the elven culture and had dealt with the Brofeng tribe in the Wildlands, immediately recognized the identity of the elven army in front of him: it was a special elven guard unique to the Brofeng tribe and the Snowwind tribe. : Breaking Wind Sword Dancer and Snow Wind Guardian.

  The identities of the two highland elves, one man and one woman, walking in the forefront of these two elven guards are naturally self-evident.

  The male highland elf is obviously Marton Xuefeng.

   And the female highland elf is Venya Brofeng. (To be continued~^~)
