Transcendent Noble

The huge boulder mountain range is thousand zhang, with undulating peaks, and a white line on the top of the mountain stretches for tens of thousands of miles. The megalithic fortress was built in a narrow mountain pass, piled with limestone, as if it grew together with the mountain range, leaving no gaps.

Victor entire group walked through the lush and green mixed forest at the foot of the mountain, stepped on the evergreen meadows, climbed the gentle slope, and met the owner of the megalithic fortress, the king of Naville, Rex Your Majesty.

He tore off the bearskin cloak that was drifting in the wind, took the four Golden Knights from Naville, hurried up to greet him, and greeted with a hearty smile: "Cousin Victor, I'll just say you I'll come to help immediately, sure enough."

Victor smiled and patted Rex's shoulder armor, teased: "Do you use my reputation to bet against the Highnesses of the Stone Fortress? Then you win. I will divide my bet in half."

Rex stretched out three fingers and said solemnly: "According to the rules of the Naville people, I can only divide you 30%."

The two immediately laughed, and the two sides paid respect to each other. After some greetings, Rex led the four Legendary powerhouses to the main entrance of the Boulder Fortress. The soldiers on the tower pushed the winch, and the iron essence chain clanged, zhi zhi rattled, and the gate made of copper and iron essence slowed down. Rise five meters high.

Everyone filed in. When Caligula entered the door, he acted fast as lightning, and he shrank his neck specially, as if he was afraid that the heavy gate would suddenly fall down and smash him into mash. .

No buildings can be seen behind the city gate, it is just a natural valley corridor, dark and damp, without sunlight. On the contrary, there are artificially excavated shooting platforms on the steep cliffs on both sides, which are nearly 100 meters above the ground. At intervals above it, there is a ballista with its barrel facing downwards. Soldiers holding heavy crossbows shuttle back and forth on the platform.

When Victor regained his gaze, Rex pointed to the left and right cliffs and another city gate in front of him, and was quite proudly introduced: "This is the famous Death Gate of the Boulder Fortress. The canyon is 14 kilometers long. There are 5 death gates. If an army of orcs in the northern wilderness attack the Boulder Fortress, the garrison of the first line of defense will raise the gate, let a group of monsters in, and then close the gate. Wings can’t escape. The five gates of death have strangled tens of thousands of monsters, and the defenders were unscathed."

"The last time my cousin visited Naville, I didn’t have time to inspect the Boulder Fortress. This time, you have your own eyes. Witnessed the first pass in the human kingdom."

"There are five death gates in the Boulder Fortress?" Victor asked incredulously.

"haha, the cost of the megalithic fortress is so cheap that you can't believe it, this can be considered a miracle." Rex said with a smile.

Victor looked at the dark green cliffs covered with slippery moss and said thoughtfully: "This canyon...wasn't it artificially excavated?"

"It's ancient A masterpiece of the great wizard."

Howard interface said: "It is said that the great wizard of the ancient Ayr city-state used extraordinary means to open up the mountain range of the huge boulders in order to connect the Ayr city-state and the northern wilderness. The northern wilderness at that time. It is a civilized land belonging to the human kingdom."

"1200 years ago, this gorge was an important channel for the Al religious nation to connect to the Iron Mountain Empire. With the fall of the Iron Mountain Empire, the Rex family With the help of the church, five death gates were built, which once trapped tens of thousands of orc monsters. Later, the orcs learned to be clever and never went to the death gate to die."

First The road gate fell heavily, and the light in the entire passage became more dimmed. Rex followed Victor's gaze, glanced back, and explained: "The Death Gate of the Boulder Fortress has an iron law. From north to south, there is only one door; from south to north, five doors open at once."

Howard smiled and said: "This is an agreement between the ancestors of Testil and the ancestors of Rex. One day, the Radiance Knight regiment will regain the homeland of mankind. The door of death opens at the same time... It seems that the ancestor’s agreement will fall on the two of us."

Rex chuckled: "It’s yours and mine to be able to witness the revocation of the door of death. It's an honor."

More than three years ago, Testil personally lobbied King Rex and invited Lord Naville out of the Stone Fortress to jointly deal with the Sidon Centaur. However, the size of Naville Kingdom is less than one third of Sasan Empire, and falling into the quagmire of pioneering war ahead of time is bound to bring down the entire kingdom. Rex categorically rejected Testil's invitation to send troops, and only agreed to exchange iron for food from the Sasan Empire to ensure that the kingdom could digest the more than 700,000 refugee population.

Although the Naville people have done a great job in developing agriculture, animal husbandry and water conservancy, Rex absolutely did not expect that the centaur, who is good at guerrilla field warfare, would run to the west in a group, with Sasan Empire and Radiance Knight. The main force of the regiment faced off. Today, nearly 200,000 elite cavalry led by Naville, Suse, Borui, and Rand Empire, as well as the main force of the court and the temple warrior, have gathered in the megalithic fortress, preparing to copy the half-man Ma Dajun's back road. This is equivalent to the Southeastern countries opening up the northern wilderness for the Naville people, and Rex's attitude has undergone a 180-degree change.

That's why, King Naville and several His Royal Highnesses ran outside the Boulder Fortress to greet the head and deputy heads of the Radiance Knight regiment, but Borui and Suse's Golden Knights did not see the silhouette.

The southern countries really don't have much enthusiasm for this war.

Testil turned to Victor said with a smile: "The northern wilderness is vast, and is the homeland of the human kingdom. The lord of the Kingdom of Gambis intends to expand north, and I support it."

If Elf Race did not summon the forest horses and mountain dwarves, the world would show signs of great change, and the lord of Gambis would be very interested in opening up territory in the northern wilderness. Now, the Kingdom of Gambis is eager to occupy the natural dangers of Jinshuihe and make contributions in Southern Continent.

Actually, Testeer just showed his attitude, nothing serious, not to be serious. Because any southern lord opens up territory in the northern wilderness, over time, it will inevitably be integrated into the northern political circle constructed by Sasan Empire, Iron Mountain Imperial Family and Naville Kingdom, and can no longer be counted as the lord aristocrat of his country.

No family is willing to distract themselves.

"In the future, I will consider it." Victor said with a smile. In another twenty years, his fleet will be able to move north along the coastline and land on the eastern shore of the northern wilderness to establish colonies of the Gambis Empire, and the centralization of land will ensure effective control of the colonies by the empire's center. At least, it is much more useful than Feudal System.

Passing through five sinister death gates in succession, the scenery in front of you suddenly opens up. The gorge surrounded by mountains is bathed in soft sunlight, mountain streams and waterfalls merge into a soothing river, on both sides are golden wheat fields, countless farmers holding sickles are struggling to harvest the full ears of spelt wheat. The wheat field surrounds a town without city walls and trenches. The buildings inside are all neat, simple, practical, barracks, warehouses and craftsmanship workshops that emphasize capacity and robustness. War horses neighed and soldiers shuttled. This is simply a large barracks with complete facilities.

At the far end of the barracks stands a peculiar building, which has a striking tall tower-like cylinder, which spit out a puff of light blue smoke that is unique to the heat of charcoal.

Testil stopped to take a long view, and after a moment, he said: "Rex Your Majesty, the giant brick kiln has been built here..."

Rex laughed heartily, Replied: "Naville mines are many and few people. Only with the iron bricks invented by Centaur Hills can we quickly build fortifications and fortified towns in the northern wilderness."

Testil said to Victor from his side: "If Sasan Empire had bought the brick kiln brick craft of Centaur Hills earlier, maybe I didn't need to light the red smoke beacon."

Victor shrugged, said: "Then the situation of this war is different. "

Tornance interjected: "Hurry up, don't let Clement wait for a long time."

After that, he took the lead in walking towards the church in the middle of the barracks with hands behind ones back. Victor led his entourage and followed.

Outside the church, several high-ranking Knights with a strong aura are already waiting outside. One of the Knights, wearing a church-standard Mythril armor, stood out and saluted the two Testil, saying: "Inquisition, Lester Trigoval, to the head of Testil, Testil The deputy head of the group pays tribute."

Before the two heads of the Radiance Knight regiment had time to respond, Tornance was beside him with a lightly "um".

The Paladin with deep facial features and vulture eyes had to salute him.

"Lester Trigoval brother, may the light of my lord illuminate your direction."

The bald Paladin has a solemn expression like Archbishop. He introduced for Victor: "His Royal Highness Randal, this This is the chief of the Inquisition, Leicester brother of the Trigoval family...oh, yes...Your Excellency Lester Trigoval."

"His Royal Highness Randal killed three golden ranks alone on the Eastern Frontier Line of Defense. On behalf of the Orc leader, he made extraordinary achievements. On behalf of the Inquisition, I would like to pay high tribute to your Highness. May the Lord of Radiance of Supreme take care of you." Trigoval's grim facial lines are like the spring breeze melting frozen ground, and he smiles warmly.

The court is in charge of sanctioning the priest and the secular lords. The little lords and the nobles have become so disgusted that they dare not mention the name of Trigoval even in private gatherings, and only use the chief referee's name. However, with Victor's current status, he clearly feels that the functions of the court are more and more in line with the needs of the nobles.

The most obvious example, in order to enhance the political influence of the Randal Family, Victor used the divine technique of the church to spend huge sums of money to build the Randal cathedral. Both the monastery and the temple warrior sent people to the Randal cathedral, but the court did not see any movement. It seems that unless Randal leads a wizard incident that cannot be covered up, the court will not send someone to stay in Randal cathedral.

The Black Fort purification wizard Will was not presided over by the referee. In fact, as the Knight aristocrats gradually gained control of the church, the position of the court quietly changed and became a collaborator of the high lord.

Nobles who fail in political struggles are often accused by the court, exiled to the Eastern Alliance, and reduced to a tool for the reproduction of the Knight bloodline. The priest Trigoval and Holy Mountain secretly presided over the human trafficking business, and even Victor bought dozens of children with Knight bloodline from the Eastern Alliance. At least half of the funds earned by the Trigoval family went to the Radiance Knight regiment and Sasan Empire to serve as military expenses against the orcs.

Apart from this, Trigoval's secret of raising the wizard gradually fell into Victor's vision. However, from a rational point of view, Trigoval or Radiance Knight’s ambiguous policy on raising the wizard meets actual needs. Since the Pantheon turmoil, the wizard organizations of the human kingdom have not flooded, but many impressive results have emerged in the academic field and the divine technique field.

For Victor, Tester would do the same.

In the stable political structure of the Pagoda of Gold, the Randal Family and the court are both at the upper level, and the overall stand of both parties is the same. Although Trigoval secretly controls the wizard, Victor believes that the wizard's several assassinations against him have nothing to do with Trigoval.

However, the wizard's witchcraft is unpredictable, and Trigoval may not be able to make them bow their heads to their ears. As a transcender, once the wizard has an organization and inheritance, it can broaden its horizons and must seek a place in the power structure of the human kingdom. However, the inherent ruling class, including Lord Knight and the church priest, did not allow wizards to develop political power.

Heaven knows, how much can they do? It's possible to climb to the spire of the pyramid and hold both Knight and Prince under your body.

The strategy for wizards can only be to integrate them into the noble class with Knight bloodline. If Trigoval cannot accommodate all the members of the wizard organization, they must periodically clean out a batch of begin to stir wizards, and then the secular lords of the Paladin family will merge a batch of obedient wizards, leaving a batch of wizards loyal to the court.

These wizards are the most troublesome. They can't be seen, and they don't have the rank of promotion. They can only concentrate on improving the power of witchcraft and studying the laws of the world. Therefore, they are particularly vulnerable to the devil's bewitching.

Victor believes that the masters behind the murder are extraordinary beings such as the devil and Evil God. They borrowed the hands of the wizard to carry out multiple assassination operations. Especially the mysterious assassin in the giant tree forest, the extraordinary ability displayed has traces of the divine technique. He may be the favored one of some Evil God. When he escaped, he deliberately revealed the Shadow Council to Victor. The intention of planting and framing was very obvious, but he succeeded in leaving a clue to Victor.

The clues of the shadow speaker obviously start from Trigoval. This may be the purpose of mysterious assassin, but Victor does not intend to stop. When the enemy is in the dark, only by drawing the snake out of the hole can we see the enemy's plot clearly. Victor has full confidence in controlling the situation, and the fate brought by his huge reputation is his trump card against the interference of fate.

Victor's sharp eyes looked around all around everyone, from far to near, and finally fell on Trigoval. His eyes were deep and said: "This time I will go to the northern wilderness to behead the goblin lord. I hope I can be with Trigoval. The chief referee is walking side by side."

Trigoval and Testil were amazed. The golden land Paladin could not help much in the infiltration and beheading operation, and Trigoval was not prepared to take part in the operation. They didn't know that Victor was beating the grass to scare the snake, and they were puzzled by this abrupt proposal.

The chief referee and the head of the team exchanged their eyes for half a second, and nodded: "Trigoval is obligatory."

X-3 did not compare the abnormalities of the people around, and Victor didn't care. He believes that the wizard always has the means to learn about the conversation between him and Trigoval.

His smile is full of kindness, nodded and said: "When we finish the task, I will definitely invite you to a banquet. When the time comes, we will have a good chat."

Trigoval is confused. The court can't say that everyone is annoying, and they are doing ugly things. Even if the high lord wants to use the court to deal with his political opponents, he will not blatantly show his favor to Trigoval.

Trigoval has heard that Victor killed the golden-ranked jackals a few kilometers away and severely wounded the Ogre Warlord. It is not difficult for him to kill the goblin lord.

Golden Eye count is a useful place for the court. He deliberately gave me a feat... He thought secretly and said with a smile without hesitation: "Your Royal Highness's banquet, I will definitely go to the appointment."

Whether the interaction between Victor and the chief referee frightened the unpredictable wizard is still unknown, but it has attracted the attention of several Golden Knights.

Only Tornance was ignorant, and solemnly introduced Emperor Neowest from Rand Empire, His Royal Highness Chris from Suse Kingdom, and Grand Duke Peter from Borui Kingdom.

Victor met Neowest in private, but both parties pretended to meet for the first time. When Victor paid respect with the Grand Duke Peter, they couldn't help but look at each other more.

It was Duke Peter’s eldest son Raymond who sent assassin to assassinate Victor and instructed the Masked Brotherhood to trouble Sophia.

Victor has reason to believe that Raymond is a spokesperson of the Shadow Council, because Duke Peter is unlikely to mobilize the wizard to participate in the underground war between the Southwind Chamber of Commerce and the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce. The Shadow Council is beyond Trigoval's control and will not accept Duke Peter's dispatch.

The Peter family simply cannot keep backing the wizard organization of betraying the sect teaching court.

Duke Peter frowned secretly, watching Victor and the others walk into the church, turning countless thoughts in his heart, but on the surface he waited in place nonchalantly.

Victor entire group entered the church and saw Pope Clement in the white robe of the priest. He is full of spirit and gentle temperament. He nodded and said to Victor: "If you can come, I will rest assured."

until now, the pope is the deputy of the Pope and the deputy of Church. In terms of status, Clement is still above Tester. But he is going through the most difficult period of his political career. When he does not use big prophecy, the human kingdom wins this war, and he is still under the pope's crown. On the contrary, he can only retreat from the pope's throne, and even the pastors of his lineage will lose miserably.

The secular lords need the support of the priest, and the priest also needs the support of the secular lords. Clement is undoubtedly an important ally of Centaur Hills.

When Victor and Sylvia were both poor, they implemented jaw-dropping water conservancy projects. Clement rejected all the consensus and borrowed 1 million gold Sol to the York family. The money has not been paid off yet. The alliance relationship between the two parties started from that period.

Much of Victor's deployment depends on Clement's support, and of course he will not sit back and watch him fall. Moreover, Father Miller has clearly stated that he will no longer use big prophecy.

How can Clement's big prophecy be used in the Northern Extension War?

"Under the crown, I will do my best!" Victor said solemnly.

"I have no doubt about this." Clement smiled comfortedly, and nodded: "I will preside over the ceremony for you."

After praying, Tester looked around. From left to right, Zheng said: "Time is running out, we will hold a meeting right away to invite His Royal Highness from the southern countries to discuss the war plan."

Victor smiled and shook the head and said, "I plan to take a rest, so I won’t participate. The meeting is over. Send someone to let me know when I'm leaving."

"Cousin Victor, please." Tester smiled and raised his hand gracefully.

Rex also nodded and said: "Well, I have prepared a temporary residence for you, and I will order someone to take you there."

"Farewell first."

Leaving the church, followed King Naville's attendant Knight to a single villa on the west side of the barracks. Victor ordered people to boil water to cook, so that the alchemy soldiers could eat and drink and adjust their physical strength to Best state. Caligula accepted the task very happily and ran into the kitchen happily, dragging the big pockets stuffed with the wild jerboa.

Caligula has quite an innate talent for cooking, and it is generous, but it takes a little longer.

Victor estimated that it would take about two hours to eat the meals prepared by Aka. He decided to go back to the bedroom for a nap.

For two days and one night, Victor always feels weird, marching in a hurry without sleep, and not lying down again.

Walking into the bedroom and just taking off his jacket, he heard Nelson go up to the second floor and announce through the wooden door:

"Your Excellency, Grand Duke Peter of the Kingdom of Borui is visiting. "
