I, Jianhao, infinite flow

As soon as the words fell, Phyllis looked at Marcus in surprise, then turned her head and nodded to the people present.

Especially after staying on Reinhardt and Yuntian for a few seconds, his expression became very serious and he asked:

"Are we finally at war with the Empire?"

"Felix, shut up first." Marcus twitched the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, he also had the same thought in his heart, but this time the situation was special, and the lineup in front of him was the safest choice after careful consideration.

"You are going to serve as guards for important people, and the destination is the Phalakia Empire."

"Guard? And it's still an empire?" Now, even Julius on the side had doubts.

"The subordinates believe that with the current situation in the kingdom, it is not a wise move to contact the empire rashly, and it is easy to cause unnecessary disturbances."

As the deputy head, Yurius put forward his own opinion.

"I understand your concerns. I agree with you in this regard, but diplomacy is not what you and I are good at."

Marcus nodded first, and then explained:

"This is decided by the Council of Sages, and it is also the judgment of the chairman of the meeting. Are there any other questions?"

After getting an explanation that was not considered an explanation, Yulius paused for a while, but did not ask any more.

"The other questions are indeed the candidates Phyllis mentioned."

It was Yun Tian who took up the conversation.

As he spoke, he set his eyes on the red-haired young man beside him.

Seeing this, Reinhardt also nodded and responded:

"Indeed, let alone guarding important people, there are doubts about appointing subordinates to go to other countries. It stands to reason that subordinates should report even if they are connected to the border of the country."

Yuntian and Reinhardt's identities are slightly different, so they have received some information about this mission in advance.

This mission seems to require Reinhardt to participate.

The power of Reinhardt is well known in all countries, and even the "Reinhardt Law" specially established for him was issued.

Although it was not a real grounding, Reinhardt had to report wherever he wanted to leave the capital.

Going to the border has to go through layers of formalities for approval.

In this case, let alone going abroad, even domestic tourism is impossible.

By the way, the policy against Reinhardt was introduced when he was eight years old.

"This time the mission is different. The other party specifically named you."

Marcus sighed heavily, he didn't know whether this matter was good or bad.

"The chairman's judgment is to accept, but he also said that the decision is up to you, Reinhardt, and you can refuse."

"The Emperor of the Holy Phlakia Empire wants to see you in person."

1824 Ready to go

"Yuntian, Reinhardt, Phyllis, what do you think of what just happened?"

Leaving the commander's office in the deepest part of the Knights' duty room, Julius, who was walking along the corridor, asked the others.

Hearing his words, Phyllis on the side opened her eyes wide and reminded:

"That's a classified mission, right? It's too imprudent to tell it in the corridor, meow?"

"Don't worry, the buds have already confirmed that there is no one around. If you are still not at ease, you can ask Reinhardt and Yuntian to confirm."

Surrounded by six light spots of different colors, Yurius looked at the two people who did not speak.

"It's true that there is no one. Recently, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere in the capital, and there are few people in the duty room itself."

Yun Tian shrugged, and then stretched out his hand to the six elves surrounded by Rius.

Suddenly, the six elves trembled, and Yurius' eyelids twitched when he saw it.

Because of the existence of the ability of affinity with nature, Yuntian has a different attraction to elves and other creatures born in nature.

This is the same in the world of Re0.

If he wanted to, Yun Tian could easily contract to become an elf magician, but he didn't do that.

This affinity is now used to occasionally tease Julius's six little partners.

"But to be honest, the diplomatic contact proposed by the empire is really a bit surprising."

Yun Tian withdrew his hand and continued the original question from Yurius.

"Yeah, considering that the kingdom and the empire have been at odds for many years, saying something like 'I want to see the Juggernaut' is a joke that people can't laugh at."

"The main reason is that the timing is very unfortunate. If the current kingdom is taken advantage of by the empire, it may be a fatal blow."

Seeing Yuntian, Phyllis and Reinhardt each said something.

The relationship between the Kingdom of Lugnica and the Holy Phlakia Empire has been bad since ancient times.

As early as 400 years ago, before the legend of the envious witch devouring half of the world was born, and before people were afraid of the witch, these two countries had been constantly fighting each other.

The world of Re0 has only one vast continent, and the continent is surrounded by a large waterfall. No one knows what is on the other side of the waterfall.

It's kind of like a round sky.

The Kingdom of Lugnica is located on the east side of the continent, the Holy Kingdom of Gustico is in the north, the city-state of Kararaki is in the west, and the Holy Phrakian Empire is in the south.

In addition to the four major powers that carve up and dominate the world, there are also some small countries around, but almost all of them are vassals of the four major powers.

Among them, the kingdom and empire have the longest history. Of course, the relationship between wars is the same.

The national border has been continuously redrawn for hundreds of thousands of years. It was not until the Kingdom of Lugnica signed an alliance with Shenlong that it drew a temporary pause for this history of conquest.

Cooperate with the dragon to seal the witch's kingdom, and enjoy the abundance and prosperity brought by the dragon. The blessing and deterrence of the dragon make the kingdom completely get rid of the old enemy of the empire.

The war between the two countries calmed down dramatically in this way, and the peace lasted for more than 400 years.

The rhetoric on the surface is like this.

Rich country and strong army, the law of the jungle is the rule of Phalakia's empire, and that empire has always been marked by iron and blood.

Even with the protection of the dragon, the small conflicts between the kingdom and the empire did not disappear in the past 400 years, but there was no official war.

It can even be said that the long-term dormancy has stimulated and strengthened the ambitions of the empire.

"I heard that during the 'Demi-Human War', troops were sent everywhere to suppress our army in an attempt to contain our army. And the evil dragon that ran rampant later, it is said that it is also related to the people of the empire, right?"

"The news at that time was severely blocked, and the specific situation is unknown, but..."

"The use of earth dragons is different on the empire and the kingdom, and the unique method of 'manipulating flying dragons' is also the first object of suspicion, right?"

Flying dragons are rare in other countries, and their main habitat is in the empire.

Unlike the earth dragon, which has a calm and friendly personality, the flying dragon has a violent temperament and has no good impression of humans. At present, the only one that clearly has the means to control flying dragons systematically is the Empire.

If this method can be used further, even if it is not taming, it is not impossible to drive away after simple stimulation to achieve an effect similar to control.

"But the possibility is very small. Based on the grievances between the two countries, if the empire really masters such a method, it is likely to drive the Dragon Legion to launch a tentative attack. Judging from the results, it did not."

"Even if it does come, then Reinhardt will work harder and wipe them all out, meow!"

"If there is an emergency, I will naturally do my best."

The four of you were chatting one sentence at a time, and the topic slowly began to drift away.

Seeing this, Julius paused and brought the topic back on track.

"In any case, the fact that the empire is hostile to the kingdom should remain unchanged. Based on this, this mission is somewhat puzzling."

Conspiracy theories and smear rumors about the empire are very common, and this is the case in any of the four major countries. Yuntian and others are also well aware of such public opinion manipulation.

Therefore, they will not have any prejudice against the empire, but it has to be said that the request of the empire this time is too suspicious.

And the Sage Council agreed to the request of the empire, which is also extremely incredible.

Before a new king is elected, the wise men of the governing body are the real center of the Kingdom of Lugnica.

Stands are, literally, the lifeblood of a kingdom.

The orders they issued are now the will of this kingdom, and as knights of the kingdom, they are obliged to obey them.

But among the four people present, except Yulius, their identities are a bit special, so they have the right to refuse to a certain extent.

But the most critical thing is really the idea of ​​the person involved, Reinhardt.

Unanimously, the three of Yuntian looked at him at the same time.

In this regard, Reinhardt just smiled helplessly and said:

"There are indeed many things that people care about, but an order is an order. Since I have been asked to participate by name, I will obey it. Of course, if the empire has any intentions, I will not accept it silently."

Accepting orders is a knight's bounden duty, and the Sage Council knew that Reinhardt would not refuse.

And

"Instead of worrying about the empire's conspiracy, it's better to worry about whether the empire that called Reinhardt will be unlucky, and Yuntian is here... Meow, I always feel that this mission will not be safe."

Phyllis looked at Reinhardt, then at Yuntian, and made an exaggerated movement of shivering.

Hearing his words, Julius froze for a moment, then said to Yuntian with an unnatural expression:

"If you destroy the imperial buildings, you may cause diplomatic accidents if you are not careful. Please be merciful."

"...I'm a little curious about what image I have in your mind." Yun Tian rubbed his forehead subtly.

"Why would I destroy buildings if I don't have to?"

"No, no, the 'necessary' you said is very worrying."

1825 Not going well at work

At dinner time, at Yuntian's house, he was having dinner with Otto and Felut.
