On the Seven Towers

Count Olgas is a tall man in his forties. He has curly brown hair and a beard. Compared with the slightly thin Viscount Josa, he can be described as burly.

Even though the weather was very hot, the count still wore a blue plate armor covered with runes. This ancient armor is covered with scars and traces of wear and tear, and it has experienced countless fierce battles. Xiao Chen could tell from the complexity of the magic array above that this was definitely a very high-end armor.

After the two met, they hugged each other and patted each other's shoulders vigorously. It was obvious that just as Viscount Josa said, they were familiar with each other and had a good relationship.

Count Orgas asked the viscount to sit down and said straight to the point: "I know you are here on behalf of the Chinese people. Although I can't get much news in this Blackwood Pass, your coming here means that Suero has already Has it fallen?"

Viscount Josa said: "Suero fell into the hands of the Chinese a few days ago, but it is difficult to say that this is a bad thing. Do you know what this guy Baldini is going to do if the Chinese don't come?"

"I don't like guessing games, you can tell me that," said the count.

"He has contacted the Imperial people, and more than sixty Black Guards, led by Master Garriott, the blood warrior master, have infiltrated Suero." Viscount Josa said.

"What?" Count Orgas's face changed. "The last time the border was opened was two months ago. How could he have hooked up with the Empire so early?"

"Yes, these people have been lurking in his lord's palace. They were not exposed until the Chinese went to war with him. We didn't know that he actually wanted to sell the entire land north of Suero to the empire."

"Even if he makes some small moves, the people of the Empire will have to pass my test first." The Earl said.

Viscount Yosa said: "According to the accounts of the captured Black Guards, they originally planned to use the name of replenishing troops next month to let the masters of the Black Guards sneak into Heimu Pass and cooperate with the imperial army outside to break through the pass. It's fair. In other words, if the Chinese hadn’t appeared to stop all this and wiped out all the Black Guards, they would still have been able to sneak into the level and cause damage, right?”

The earl was silent for a while and said: "The Chinese are no better than them. These people suddenly turned against the kingdom when it was at its most difficult and unstable, cutting off a piece of flesh from the kingdom. They are just another piece of meat." They are just corpse-eating vultures. Giving these greedy guys an identity and territory was the biggest mistake the late king made.”

Viscount Josa said: "But now Suero is in their hands. I carefully watched what they did there. They are by no means a group of mages who just want to take advantage. What they are doing is building a powerful Kingdom. Isn’t this what people like you have been pursuing?”

"What a joke!" Count Orgas said angrily, "What I pursue is a powerful Iberian kingdom, not any other country."

Viscount Josa asked seriously: "Is your family always guarding the border just for the sake of the kingdom? I remember that twenty years ago, when I first met you at a family gathering, you were arguing among a group of boastful nobles. Strive to say that defending the country is not just about protecting the royal family and nobles, but also about protecting civilians from the enemy.

At that time, people around you laughed at your naivety, but I knew you were serious. That kind of look, that kind of attitude, can only be shown by people who are really willing to do things.

I know that even though you were laughed at by them that time, you have been doing this all these years.

I have been in Suero and rarely come here, but I have long heard that the army you control is the least disturbing to the people. Even if you manage the most lucrative checkpoint in the entire kingdom, you rarely reach out to the poor people who go to the border to make a living. Instead, you focus your taxes on the wealthy businessmen. "

The Viscount's call made the count relax a lot, "Even if these are true, what does it have to do with the Chinese?"

"The Chinese are the group of people in the world who value civilians the most, except you. Likewise, they are also the most powerful group of people in the world. I believe that if you hand over Heimuguan to them, the land behind you will be destroyed. The management is better, and the Imperial people have no chance to attack. "

"You have so much confidence in them?" the count asked with some doubts.

"Yes, I am so confident that even though I was deprived of my title, I still stand on their side." Seeing the other party's solemn expression, Viscount Josa said, "This is not against me, but in their country. There is no such thing as nobility."

Viscount Josa took out the letter from Xiao Chen and handed it to the count. "This is a letter that their high-level mage Xiao Chen asked me to bring to you. He said that after you read it, you will feel happy in your heart." A decision will be made.”

The Count took the envelope, looked at it in his hand, and opened it. There was nothing in the envelope but a thin piece of paper. He took it out and saw a complex magic circle painted on it. As soon as the magic circle appeared in front of his eyes, it started to rotate naturally.

Orgas felt that something had invaded his head and connected with his thinking. Just as he was trying to resist with luck, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Count Orgas, I am Xiao Chen, a magician from China. I think you may still be hesitant until now. So I want to show you some pictures. Please don’t worry, it won’t harm you mentally or physically.”

Olgas suddenly felt that the world around him was slowly moving away from him.

Then the shocking image appeared around him. It was not a simple picture, but it was like he was in such an environment.

He saw Suero covered by flames. The seemingly indestructible city defense barrier had been broken. Countless black dots fell into the city from the gap, and each of them would burst into a ball of sparks in the city. In a short time, a city was engulfed in flames.

He saw the green-clad soldiers who were more elite than his subordinates, although they lacked murderous aura. They used a long pole that would spray metal particles when fighting. The metal storms produced by thousands of long poles could destroy groups of enemies at a long distance.

Then the surrounding environment changed, and he came to a city he had never seen before. He saw tall buildings, clean classrooms, huge workshops, strange iron cars, and energetic and confident civilians. These people and things happened in the Chinese city.

He understood that this was the power shown to him by the other party, which had both destruction and creation, and the latter was far more terrifying than the former.
