Carry the Ring of Elden with you

However, the next day, a vicious incident occurred in the Offa Parliament that shocked the whole city.

The legendary great magician, Gildarts Hayden, was murdered in his own home. His mutilated body was stripped of all his clothes and humiliatingly hung on the chandelier in the living room.

The mage of the Judgment Hall who came to investigate the matter could only reluctantly conclude from the mentally broken servants and apprentices that four cavalrymen in black armor killed Archmage Gildas.

Suddenly, the members of the House of Lords who knew the origin of the black-armored cavalry were collectively furious.

Chapter 139: So you don’t have any allies either.

Offa Parliament, House of Lords.

"Your Majesty the President, this approach of the Golden Federation is undoubtedly a slap in the face of our Offa Council! If we don't respond correctly, then every country on the Salid continent will be waiting to see our jokes!"

In the hall of the House of Lords surrounded by arcane energy, a member of the House of Lords who had just joined stood up from his seat and said angrily to Alois.

Alois did not express dissatisfaction with the congressman's attitude. He knew in his heart that the congressman's anger was towards the Golden Federation and not towards himself.

"That's right, Your Majesty the President. We, the Offa Council, must fight back immediately!"

As the congressman at the beginning stood up, many congressmen from the same faction as this congressman stood up and supported him.

Even the members of different factions who used to oppose for the sake of opposition during meetings did not object, but they did not support it either. They just sat in their seats and looked at the Speaker calmly, waiting for him to make a decision.

Alois stroked his long gray beard, holding the staff made of white jade in his right hand, and gently moved it to the clean floor. Circles of ether fluctuations like water waves emanated from the place where the two collided. go out.

In an instant, the noisy voices in the hall of the House of Lords seemed to have been turned off and became extremely quiet.

"Please sit down, Congressman Cebroro." Alois stretched out his hand, and an irresistible force pressed on the shoulders of the new Congressman and other members who stood up, making them sit back in their seats. .

Then the clear and powerful voice of the Chief Speaker rang out in the huge conference hall: "I already know what you are thinking. In just one week, the Offa Council lost Gildas and Fabio, two people who specialize in life magic. Legendary mage. This is a loss for all residents of the Austrian Parliament. This is a pain that must be paid for with blood. I agree with Senator Cebroro's proposal to send troops to the Gold Federation. Next, I ask all members to vote by a show of hands to agree to send troops to gold. Confederate hands up.”

After Alois said these words, he removed the ether exerted on everyone.

"Shh-!"

The newly elected congressman and the congressmen from his faction immediately raised their right hands. The congressmen from other factions looked at each other and slowly raised their hands.

Alois nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Congressman Cebroro's proposal was unanimously approved. The next discussion points in the parliament are how to declare war on the Golden Federation, how many soldiers we should send, and which city to attack first."

Following the words of the Speaker, the originally quiet hall of the House of Lords became lively again.

In the end, the Austrian Law Council decided to first send 3000 well-equipped mages to attack Pulin City, which had just been captured by the Golden Federation, and sent envoys to the Golden Federation and other countries.

The envoys going to the Golden Federation brought a declaration of war, while the envoys going to other countries invited them to join the crusade against the Golden Federation.

In the palace in the capital of the Charles Empire, the Emperor of Judah was receiving envoys from the Offician Parliament.

"Alois wants me to help him send troops to attack the Golden Federation, and also help me recover the lost Pulin City?" Judas read the autographed letter from the Chief Speaker in his hand, put it casually in his hand, stroked his chin and squinted. Open your eyes.

The envoy of the Austrian Parliament gave a formal salute to Judas and said: "Yes, Roland, the lord of the Golden Federation, is arrogant. He not only took advantage of the war between your country and the Holy Empire of France to sneak attack your country's Pulin City and capture it. , and then verbally humiliated us at the founding ceremony of the country. The most humiliating thing was that Roland also sent people to attack the envoys of our Offensive Parliament and mutilated them all. After thinking about it, the President of the General Assembly said, We can’t let this kid get too arrogant, we must strangle him in his infancy before he reaches maturity, otherwise there will never be peace in the continent of Salid.”

All the envoys of the Austrian Parliament were killed by Roland's men. What else happened?Judas raised his eyebrows but did not ask.He changed to a comfortable sitting position, cleared his throat and replied: "Please go back and tell the distinguished Speaker Alois that when you attack Pulin City, the Charles Empire will naturally send troops to support Offa. parliament."

The messenger's expression did not change, but he saluted and thanked him: "Thank you, Emperor Judah, for your kindness and generosity. The Offa Council will remember this friendship."

When the envoy of the Austrian Law Council left the palace, he looked back to make sure no one was following him, then he darkened his face and walked away with a cold snort.

In his opinion, the answer of the Emperor of Judah seemed to be that he agreed to send troops to the Offican Council, but in fact he wanted to take advantage of the situation when both sides were hurting and take advantage of the situation.

After the messenger walked away, a shadowy figure emerged from a shadow next to where he stopped just now.

However, this envoy was very confident in the strength of the Offician Parliament's army. He believed that the troops of the Charles Empire would only see their own army occupy the city of Pulin like a torrent, and would have no chance to be that fisherman.

In fact, he misunderstood the Judah Emperor. The Judah Emperor did not want to reap the benefits, but simply fought against Roland's soldiers too many times and did not think that the Austrian Law Council had the strength to attack Pulin City.

Moreover, the Emperor of Judah is not a fool. The Austrian Law Council never said that it would help him for free.If the other party really captures Pulin City, God knows what the Austrian Law Council will say to them.So the emperor of Judah just replied with some ambiguous words and sent the envoy back.

After the messenger returned to the Offa Council, he reported the information to the Speaker.The Speaker motioned for him to take a rest, and then frowned and looked at the many members of the House of Lords.

"The Charles Empire, the Holy Empire of France, the United Nations of Bexun Humanity, and other human countries all gave similar answers. The Holy Pope State, the Songyue Dynasty, and the Stone Heart Castle rejected the invitation of the Offensive Council. Only the The envoy to the Gray Valley Alliance has not returned yet, but I am afraid he will reject our invitation." Alois told the news one by one the envoy brought back.

A congressman said with an unhappy look: "It is natural that the elves and dwarves would refuse, because they have never liked to get involved in human affairs. The Holy Pope has always been indifferent to worldly affairs and has been fighting against the Chaos Families in the north. But other humans What’s going on in the kingdom? Have the kings of these countries forgotten the help the Offa Council has given them?”

Alois raised his hand and pressed it softly, signaling the congressman not to be impatient, and then slowly said: "Because they all want to let the army of the Offa Council gnaw on this hard nut first, they are just a group of speculators."

In fact, the domineering behavior of the mages of the Arcane Council in their own countries has long made various countries unhappy, which is why the above situation occurred.

Therefore, due to many factors, the army led by Roland will only have to face the army of the Offensive Council in the upcoming first war.

It can only be said that every cause must have its effect. This can be regarded as the bitter result caused by the Offensive Council itself that offends too many countries.

On the other side, in Stonewell City, Roland was also meeting with others to discuss the offensive of the Officine Council.

"Does this mean that the only enemy we have to face in the first battle is the Austrian Law Council? And they also plan to attack Pulin City?" Malkit's voice rang in the conference hall, looking at the information on his desk.

Roland nodded: "Yes."

"Don't the Offa Council know that Pulin City has been transformed into a military city by us?" Malkit shook his head, as if he was worried about the enemy's IQ.

Roland shrugged: "They know, but I guess these mages think that no matter how strong the city wall is, it can't withstand the attack of forbidden spells. Markit, think about it, if they destroyed it in the first battle, we spent so much energy fighting The military fortress built over time will not only severely damage our morale, but also send a signal to other countries: the Golden Federation is not as powerful as you think. In this way, more countries that were originally neutral will join the other side's camp. middle."

"That's true, so do you have any plans to deal with it?" Malkit continued to ask, with a cruel smile on his face: "I heard that during the founding ceremony, the envoys of the Austrian Parliament had nothing but their hands and feet. In addition to being clean, they have also been investigating the matter of the Golden Tree. Lord Roland, why not let me show up directly and eliminate them. I will show mercy to any enemy who dares to invade the Golden Tree."

Before Roland could respond, Neferi Lu, who had been silent for a long time, intervened in the conversation: "No, Lord Malkit. Pulin City is the city that Roland handed over to me. Now that the enemy plans to attack, it should be up to me. Come and repel the Offa Council.”

Malkit opened her golden eyes and looked at Neferi Lu. She exuded an invisible sense of oppression and stared at her for a long time.

Nephili Lu felt the pressure emanating from Malkit's body. She raised her chest and looked up at him without fear. A sound like a storm appeared around her body.

Roland blinked and looked at them.

Malkit withdrew the power emanating from her body at this time, and nodded to Neferi Lu with approval: "Yes. I admit that your strength is not that of a fledgling that has just learned to walk, but that of a soaring eagle. Since you have inherited If I have the same surname as my father, then naturally I can’t let it be discredited.”

Then the evil omen demon looked at Roland: "I agree with Neferi Lu's proposal and leave the important task of defeating the Austrian Parliament to her."

Nephili Lu's tense body relaxed, and then she showed a confident smile and said to Roland: "I promise that the reborn Storm Legion will not let the enemy enter the city. Roland, you will wait for my good news in Stonewell City. Bar."

"Be sure to be more careful, Neferi." Roland reminded the female warrior with a serious face: "The Arcane Council can be said to be the most proficient organization in magic on this continent. The magic blow that Pulin City will suffer may be far more than It was much more ferocious before.”

Neferi Lu also nodded seriously and replied: "I understand."

Roland took the pen and quickly wrote something on a piece of paper: "In this way, I will send the mages of Lienia to Pling City to help you fight against the army of the Officine Council. There is no danger in Leiden City recently, Dragon Man I will also mobilize the soldiers to your place."

Then he stamped his own seal on the paper on which the order was written, folded it in half and handed it to Neferi Lu: "Take this paper and go to Blaize. He will personally lead Realu later." The mages from Kallia Academy are heading to Pulin City.”

Neferi Lu took it solemnly, put it into the pocket of her warrior costume, nodded to Roland and immediately walked out of the office resolutely.

Malkit suddenly said: "Lord Roland, did the group of elves who call themselves the Glen Alliance promise to send troops to help when the Golden Federation is attacked? Why don't you contact them?"

Roland touched his chin, pondered for a moment and replied: "Well... even if I send people to find them now, I am afraid that the Rivendell Alliance will not have time to participate in the first war with the Austrian Parliament. If everything goes well, the Rivendell Alliance will I’m afraid I’m busy taking care of myself right now.”

Malkit asked curiously: "Too busy with yourself? What exactly did you do when you sent Greg to them?"

Roland said: "It's not a very complicated matter. It's just asking Greg to help the Rivendell Alliance solve their ongoing troubles. Haven't we been receiving reports about strange creatures hiding in various shadows before? The Rivendell Alliance has them. At the entrance of the lair, I asked Greg to go over and deal with those shadow creatures completely."

"And then by the way, let those gray-skinned elves believe in the golden tree?" Malkit took over.

Roland coughed lightly: "How did you guess that?"

Malkit replied: "It's just a simple reasoning. When you were talking to Ms. Qiandra in this office, I heard that you were not interested in the shadow creatures she said. Instead, you kept asking about those gray creatures. The life and customs of the skin elves and other things. So I presume you are interested in the gray skin elves themselves. If you live long enough like me and have seen a lot of things, there are some things that can be seen at a glance."

Roland said: "I can always learn something from you, Malkit."

Malkit said a few more words to Roland and then stood up and said goodbye to Roland: "The Storm King has set off to find the loyal dog of the 'Moon Princess' Lani, and the golden descendant Greg also has his own human mission. So, , I should also do what I can do.”

Roland asked: "What are your plans?"

A trace of anger flashed in Malkit's eyes: "I can't stand the Officine Council unilaterally sending troops to attack us, so when they attack, I will send the Night Cavalry to carry out beheading operations of important personnel in their territory. , it’s best to cut off the opponent’s source of food and grass. I don’t think the soldiers of the Offensive Council have enough to eat, so what else can they use to invade our Golden Federation.”

Chapter 1: Red Rock Mountains

The news that the Offa Council declared war on the Gold Federation and that the Gold Federation responded quickly spread throughout the Salid continent, arousing the interest and attention of various countries, large and small.

Many war mercenary groups and speculative businessmen who smelled the smell of money began to move in the direction of these two countries, but the former was more likely to move in the direction of the Austrian Parliament.Because these mercenary groups have heard the news that the Golden Federation does not like to hire foreign mercenaries, and in their perception, the Austrian Parliament is obviously more powerful than a newly established country, even if the Golden Federation has not yet experienced anything since it emerged. defeat.

However, there are also many mercenaries who have witnessed the dominance of the Golden Federation and the Charles Empire on the battlefield in the past. They dissuade colleagues who want to join the Officine Council and persuade them to observe and observe for the time being.

Of course, this did not have much effect. In fact, these dissuaded mercenaries were ridiculed a lot, thinking that they were frightened by the Golden Federation and were not suitable for the job of wearing their heads on their belts.

However, the mercenaries who were laughed at were not angry. They just looked at the young and energetic mercenaries with a look on their faces as they walked out of the simple tavern, imagining how they could make a fortune by following the Offen Council.

However, soon another news came out from the Austrian Law Council, informing the world of the composition of its troops for the Golden Federation's expedition, and even claimed that it had completely grasped the weaknesses of the Golden Federation's army and asked them to surrender quickly.

Among the 3000 soldiers sent by the Officine Council, 1000 soldiers are infantry, and the other 2000 soldiers are all technicians responsible for controlling magic equipment.

The alchemy giants that had previously attacked Moen City as test machines were also sent out, and there were three of them.Although no specific data was collected on Master Daphne's death last time, it has been improved a lot after the Arcane Council's own research.

From the mage who escaped, they learned that the magic emitted by the Alchemy Colossus was reflected back by a tall knight using only a shield.The relevant person in charge believed that the shield used by the enemy was made of a large amount of anti-magic materials that had not been discovered by the Arcane Council. This statement was supported by the vast majority of people. After all, the Golden Federation often does some strange things. come out.

Therefore, the department responsible for making the Alchemical Colossus specifically increased the penetration rate of the launched spells this time to ensure that the spells can penetrate the enemy's shield before they are reflected back.

There is also a small group of people who are skeptical about the existence of enemy knights who can launch Alchemy Colossus magic attacks, believing that they will definitely be seriously injured after the opponent reflects the spell.This view made the escaped mage roll his eyes.

If the knight in golden armor was seriously injured, then who was the knight who directly tore apart several infantry phalanxes in the Charles Empire?

In addition to these three alchemical colossi, the Arcane Council also sent more magic instruments for aerial strikes.They had studied the past performance of the Golden Federation on the battlefield and found that the opponent's flying dragons needed special attention, so they also brought aerial equipment this time.

As for the other Offa Council, they didn't think much about it.After investigation and verification from the Charles Empire and the Holy Empire of France, they admitted that the soldiers of the Golden Dynasty far exceeded their own ground forces in terms of individual strength and overall strength.But no matter how powerful the ground troops are, it is useless if they cannot get close to our own troops.

It's time for these mortals who only know how to fight in close combat to see the dominance of the noble mages on the battlefield.This is the thought of all the soldiers selected for the expedition. They believe that this battle will definitely end with a clean victory for the Offa Council.

However, in fact, when Roland saw that the Officine Council took the initiative to inform the world about the composition of its military units, he was a little dumbfounded. Looking at Feiya who came to report the news, he said on the spot: "Are those mages out of their minds?" ?”

Feiya couldn't help but laugh at Roland's reaction. She showed a sweet smile and replied: "The information about the expedition of the Offa Council's troops has been spread outside. Just in case, I will go to the Offa Council with Roger and others. After some confirmation, I found that the other side was actually doing this to encourage the residents of their country, and if they really won the first battle, it would also greatly boost the morale of their own army."

Roland shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's too abstract. How can anyone tell them all the troops they plan to send before the war starts? I really can't understand the brain circuits of these mages."

Feiya said: "Maybe it's because they are mages that they underestimate their enemies? Judging from my travel experience during this period, mages have a very noble status in this world, and they look down on those who can't use magic. Humans. Maybe they think we are just like mortals who can’t use magic and can be crushed casually.”

The Arcane Council does think so. They think that even if they tell you this information, what can they do? Anyway, it will be useless for you to prepare any tactics under the devastating blow of the spell.

Roland rolled his eyes: "I don't know how to complain about this anymore. Anyway, as long as they are happy."

Then he cleared his throat and said to Feiya: "You have been working hard these days. Roger and D should have given you a lot of trouble."

Feiya shook her head slightly, her golden hair swaying with the movement: "Mr. D is just telling the truth and is worried about Mr. Roger. He did not deliberately seek trouble for me, but he does not want to continue to be with me. I'm wandering outside, and if I want to come back, I can directly take orders from you, Lord Roland."

Then she flipped her hair to her ear and said softly: "I also agree with his idea. After all, we were still hostile when we were at the border. And now I have Mr. Roger and Mr. Lionel with me. There are so many faded people who follow me to protect me, which is enough to deal with most dangers."

Roland thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, you are right, Feiya. I will explain it to D after I come back this time."

As for the arrangements after D, Roland does not intend to keep him by his side as a guard, because it is a huge waste of his ability, and it is enough to have Melina by his side as a guard.So Roland planned to let D report under Malkit. The evil omen demon would definitely like this extremely fanatical and loyal warrior who believed in the golden tree.

Then Roland showed an apologetic expression and said to Feiya: "I'm sorry that you can only rest for a few days before you continue to go to the north to investigate the Chaos Families."

Feiya said in a comforting tone: "No need to apologize, Lord Roland. It is my honor to be able to contribute a small amount to your country, and I also like this place that can tolerate and take me in."

Roland said: "This time when I go to the north, I will ask Jonson Bloodhoof to bring four of the most elite tauren warriors with you. As an orc who grew up in the north, the warchief knows the local environment very well and can I’ll help you a lot.”

"You must pay attention to safety and do not take the initiative to go to dangerous places." Roland looked seriously at Feiya's sapphire eyes and said: "When the Golden Tree is prosperous, I don't want to see any of you absent. "

After hearing these words, Feiya's eyes turned slightly, and her soft eyelashes flicked her cheeks, like a wisp of spring breeze.The corners of her delicate lips were slightly raised, and the beautiful arc outlined her sweet and charming smile.That smile is as light as chrysanthemum petals fluttering in the breeze, and just like white clouds passing across the blue sky on a sunny day.

She nodded vigorously to Roland: "Please rest assured, Lord Roland. I will witness the arrival of that moment."

While Feiya and others were investigating the Chaos Familia in front of the northern countries, other countries also successively received news of the Offician Council's self-destruction of their own troop strength information. Many generals in charge of the war rolled their eyes and said He gave a similar evaluation to Roland, and became more determined in his decision to remain neutral until the outcome of the first war was decided.

There is no other reason than that the decisions of the Arcane Council, a group of mages who have never really fought in a war, are too unnatural.

When Neferi Lu, who was far away in Pling City, received the news from Roland, the female warrior from the wild showed a rare expression of anger.

"The Offensive Council is looking down on us. They have regarded us as part of their meritorious service." Nephili Lu put Roland's letter on the table with cold eyes and motioned to the two people in front of her to take a look.

These two people were Oleg and Ingwill who were summoned. As the wings of the previous Storm King, Neferi Lu naturally chose to use them as her right-hand men.At this time, the two of them were wearing the heavy armor of the lost knight and sitting at the conference table.

Ingwill took the letter, read it quickly and handed it to Oleg who was sitting opposite.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a stupid and confident enemy." Oleg's rich voice sounded. After reading it, he put the letter back on the table in front of Neferi and shook his head.

Ingwill looked at Neferi Lu. Compared with Oleg, his voice was clearer: "Lord Neferi Lu, I think we should teach these enemies who don't know the heights of heaven and earth a small lesson."

Neferi Lu agreed and said: "That's what I plan to do. The Storm Legion is not a good baby who will wait quietly for the enemy to come knocking on the door. We should take the initiative to eliminate this group of arrogant enemies outside the borders. "

Then she looked at the other tall figure in the room who had been sitting silently without speaking, and asked, "Do you want to come too, Mr. Blaze?"

Blaze was resting in the room with his eyes closed while carrying a huge royal sword on his back. It was he who brought Roland's letter over.

At this time, Blaze raised his furry head and replied with a magnetic and clear voice: "Roland asked me to come and help, so as long as it is beneficial to him, I will not refuse. The mages of Kallia are ready to listen. At your disposal, Lord Storm King."

"Okay, pass my order. Traffic control will be implemented throughout Pling City. From now on, everyone is prohibited from entering and traveling." The messenger in Neferi Dew's house ordered: "Oleg, Ingwill, lead 10 people A homeless knight and 2000 Storm Legion soldiers went to the Red Rock Mountains to stand by."

"Sir Blaize, please follow closely with the dragon soldiers sent by Roland. We will destroy all the enemy's invading troops here in the Red Rock Mountains."

Blaze nodded. He bared his fangs and said ferociously to Neferi Lu: "Perhaps we, the Kaliya royal family, can give the enemy a big gift without you taking action."
