Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Suddenly, Blaze's wolf ears stood up and he stopped, pointing his royal sword forward without saying a word.

The figures of two night cavalry appeared from the direction pointed by the royal sword. The flail hammer night cavalry greeted Blaze: "Your Excellency Blaze."

Blaze withdrew the royal sword and asked with doubtful eyes: "Night Cavalry, why are you here? Did Lord Roland send you here for support?"

The Flail Hammer Night Cavalry shook his head: "No, although Lord Roland summoned us, he ordered us to still obey King Blessing. It was King Blessing who ordered us to harass and destroy the enemy's backup and forage troops on the rear battlefield. , that’s why we appear here.”

Chapter 148: Pigs will not surrender to the establishment, but people will

After Blaze and the Night Cavalry exchanged a few words with each other, they soon heard the sound of marching footsteps that made the earth tremble slightly from the outside of the Offa Council's camp.

After the [Deadwood Meets the World] magic circle hosted by Vladimir was destroyed, Neferi Lu quickly woke up in the tent. After she took out the storm ax from her waist to confirm that there were no enemies, she immediately ran out of the tent. Organize defense.

Of course, she understood all this when she saw the crystal men patrolling the camp.Nephili Lu then led the awakened Homeless Knights, some exiled soldiers, and Storm Eagles to rush here.

Neferi Lu took the lead in leaping to the ground on her big eagle, landing between Blaze and the two Night Cavalry.

"Blaize, have the enemies been dealt with?" Neferi Lu glanced at the Night Cavalry who nodded to her on horseback with a fearful look, and then asked the half-werewolf in a deep voice.

Blaze replied with a reliable voice: "Have you woken up from the interference of the spell? That's good. The mage who performed the spell has been killed by me, and his strength is pretty good. Look at the surrounding mage's treatment of him. Attitude should be a more important figure in the Offa Council.”

At this time, the Flail Hammer Night Cavalry asked in a muffled voice: "Your Excellency Blaze, can you tell us the name of the mage you killed?"

Blaze pondered for a moment and replied: "No, he did not introduce himself. But what I can confirm is that the other party used the life magic of flowers and insects, and kept saying that he was about to touch the realm of God. It's a pity. , I can only tell you this much information.”

The Flail Hammer Night Cavalry nodded: "This information is enough. There are only a handful of mages in the Arcane Council who can be praised by Mr. Blaze, plus the magic of using flowers and insects. I think you killed the enemies. It should be Vladimi, who is known as the [Messenger of Life] in the Austrian Parliament and serves as the director of the Life Research Institute."

Blaze shrugged slightly: "Okay. I'll tell you why the opponent talked so much nonsense to me during the battle, and had such a weak sense of fighting. After a long time, it turned out that I killed a man who was stupid in reading. A scholar is not a mage who is good at fighting at all."

Then Blaze looked at Neferi Lu and asked, "Are there any casualties among our soldiers?"

Neferi Lu shook her head: "No, not really. Thanks to the crystallized people you awakened, they killed all the invading enemies. It's just that most of the soldiers seemed to have a serious loss of physical strength and were resting in the camp. I After waking up, immediately take the soldiers who are still mobile and prepare to pick you up in the direction pointed by the crystallized man, and then you will see what you see now."

"But why are the Night Cavalry here? Did you team up to destroy this camp?" The female warrior couldn't help but ask after all.

Blaze shook his head: "No, they destroyed the camp and it had nothing to do with me. I just destroyed the magic circle that affected our army."

"We will leave here right away. Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Storm King." The Flail Hammer Night Cavalry said: "We just happened to pass by here on the order of Lord Malkit and found this enemy camp, so we attacked and Start cleaning up. It would be better if I can help you. Also, the arcane council mages who surrendered in this camp are all under our custody. Your Excellency, the Storm King, please send soldiers as soon as possible to take them to the camp. There is another thing I need to ask you..."

After the flail hammer night cavalry told Neferi Dew the food and grass captured in the camp, where the weapons were placed, and what restrictions were required to activate them, they led the other three night cavalrymen holding swords and halberds and disappeared into the night.

"Huh..." Neferi Lu breathed a sigh of relief after all the night cavalry left.There was no way, after all, they were famous in the border area. Even if they were allies in the united front, Neferi Lu would still subconsciously tighten her nerves.

Then she called White, the homeless knight who had not shown up for a long time. The knight in shining armor walked over the ruins of the camp to Nefeli Lu's side and asked respectfully: "Lord Nefeli, what are your orders?"

Neferi Lu issued the order according to what the Flail Hammer Night Cavalry said before.

So the soldiers of the Storm Legion came in in a mighty manner and knocked out the mages who were still in shock one by one.

This behavior is to prevent the mages from using some tricks to harm the soldiers guarding the prisoners.This can be regarded as a moderate lesson. In the previous battle of the Charles Empire colluding with the Offician Parliament to attack Morne City, many mages in the armies of the Offician Parliament and the Charles Empire surrendered.However, when escorting the prisoners, some mages who were unwilling to surrender used spells unknown to the soldiers to break free from their shackles before entering the endless forest.

Although these mages who broke free were quickly killed by the soldiers guarding them, they did cause a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, the Endless Forest has the effect of banning magic for these locals. All it takes is to escort these mages from the Arcane Council into two mine tunnels to join the great mining movement.

Speaking of which, a small number of captured miners have been allowed to go to Morn City to enjoy their holidays on their days off because they have performed well and have been confirmed many times that they have no grudges against the Gold Federation.

On the other side, Roland, who was resting alone in his room at night, was suddenly awakened by the system's beep.

"Yawn, what's so important in the middle of the night?" Roland said sleepily. At the same time, he put on his clothes and came to the table, picking up a pen and preparing to record what the system wanted to say.

[Of course it’s your favorite part. ] The system rarely joked: [Just now, this system was notified that the second wave of attacks by the Austrian Law Council was defused by Blaze and the Night Cavalry, so a certain high-level unit you have been longing for can finally be unlocked. 】

[Advanced elite unit (limited edition): Kalia Knight (unlocked).The knights who were awarded medals by the Queen of the Moon "Lenala" are all invincible heroes, without exception.It is said that the number of knights is less than 20. They use swords as catalysts to perform magical combat skills, and their combat power is on par with the heroes of gold.But as the royal family declined, so did the heroes.Now that the successor of the Moon Queen, the Moon Princess "Rani" has chosen you as your partner, these brave Calian knights will raise their swords and shields and fight for you under the command of the Moon Princess.Aether required for summoning: 15000 points. 】

When Roland heard the news, his eyes lit up at first, and then his brows furrowed tightly.

The system noticed Roland's solemn expression and asked in confusion: [What's wrong, host?I remember that you always talked about the Knights of Kallia and loved them very much.Why does it show an unhappy expression now that it has been unlocked? Could it be that there are not enough ether points to summon directly? 】

Roland was shocked by the system's words, and then said to the system with a soft expression: "No, of course I am very happy. It's just that a good news suddenly came out so late at night. I'm just worried about Neferi Lu and Bly in the distance. Did something happen to their army? I'm afraid the Offa Council sneak attacked them at night, and I'm thinking about the casualties of the soldiers."

Just as Roland was communicating with the system, there was a sudden knock on his bedroom door.

"Dong dong dong."

Roland went over to open the door. Rodel Knight Ikosela saluted him and immediately said: "Sir Roland. Nephili Lu and Lord Blaze defeated the sneak attack of the Austrian Parliament army at night and captured a total of mages. More than 1000 people.”

"Where are the soldiers' casualties?" Roland asked hurriedly.

Ikosela said with a strange expression: "There are no casualties."

"No casualties??" Roland's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. He knew that these soldiers from the border area were very fierce, but they wouldn't beat the Austrian and French Parliament to the ground like a man-machine bureau, right?

Ikosela explained: "It's like this. The night cavalry under Lord Malkit happened to pass there and discovered the army of the Offen Council. They relied on the mobility of the night cavalry to kill the army of the Offen Council. Destroy. Lady Neferi Lu is currently collecting prisoners with Lady Blaze, and more detailed battle reports will be sent later."

Chapter 149: Biddy

The next morning.

Nephili Lu asked the homeless knight White to lead a group of exiled soldiers to escort the surrendered mages to Moren City to wait for repairs, and she came to Stonewell City to report the battle situation to Roland.

Blaze also followed.

"...To sum up, under the large-scale spell barrier cast by the enemy, our army did not suffer any casualties. Only a few soldiers showed symptoms of lethargy, and they have fully recovered after a night's rest." Neferi Lu Sitting on the chair casually, he explained to Roland what happened last night.

Roland nodded slightly, then looked at Blaze and said thankfully: "Thanks to your keen sense of smell and quick reaction last night, Blaze."

Blaze smiled: "It's an honor for me to be able to help. This way, Her Highness Lani won't feel like I haven't done anything when she comes over."

"Roland, what are you going to do with those mages who surrendered?" Neferi Lushou suggested: "My suggestion is to throw them all into the Endless Forest. Isn't there our mine over there?"

Kenneth Hyde, who was sitting opposite her, showed a thoughtful look and shook his head to show that he disagreed: "Lord Neferi Lu, there are people in the mine who require a lot of physical labor. Those who were captured a few times ago Soldiers themselves are good at this type of work, but if you let the spoiled mages in this world mine, I'm afraid it will affect the production efficiency of the Gold Federation's ore."

"Yes, I forgot that this is not the border area. They are different from the mages in the border area who can compete with the warriors." Nephili Lu relaxed her shoulders: "What is this? Any pampered person will become diligent under this. If it is exhausted, just throw it out to feed the hawks."

"Ah this..." Kenneth Hyde was speechless for a moment.

A puzzled expression appeared on Neferi Lu's face: "What's wrong, Kenneth? Am I wrong? These mages are evil people who invaded our Golden Federation. There is no need for us to consider whether they can adapt to the mines. of labor.”

Kenneth Hyde showed a wry smile. He cleared his throat and said to Neferi Lu: "You misunderstood me, Lady Neferi Lu. I don't care about the living conditions of these prisoners in the mine, I just It feels like a pity that so many mages are wasted in the mines. There is a lot of knowledge about this world in their brains, and it is because of this that I disagree with your proposal."

Roland said at this time: "Well, I have a better idea about this."

Kenneth Hyde looked at Roland with curious eyes: "Hmm, is there a better solution?"

Roland nodded, and then shouted somewhere in the room: "Stop hiding in the back room, it's time to come out and meet your old friends."

"Hey——." The sound of objects being knocked over came from the inner room, as well as the harsh sound of someone screaming.

After hearing the scream, Blaze's ears trembled a few times and his pupils shrank.

Taking three steps as one step, he quickly crossed the conference table and came to the door of the back room. He opened the door roughly and walked in to pull out the people hiding in the back room.

"Ah - Mr. Blaze, he is a villain. I am Biddy. Not an enemy, eh." The people in the room screamed in panic.

Blazer held Biddy in his hands, led him out and put him on a chair. He snorted coldly: "Of course I know it's you, Biddy, or should I call you Professor Servais?"

Biddy is a Platinum Son mage who serves the royal family of Kallia.After unlocking the Kalia Knight last night, the NPC Biddy was also unlocked.Summoning him only required 5000 ether points, and Roland summoned him immediately.

The purpose of Roland summoning Biddy here was to focus on his superb puppetry skills.

At this time, the old mage, son of platinum, was shaking his thin body, his severely degraded lower body was curled up on the chair, holding his head and begging for mercy: "No, no, no, I don't know Professor Servis, I am La Lord Nee’s loyal servant Biddy!”

"Loyal?" Blaze sneered, anger revealed in his words.The half-werewolf grabbed Biddy's collar and gritted his teeth at him: "You actually want to turn Lani into your puppet to satisfy your bad taste. Is this what you call loyalty? ?”

In the game, if the player chooses to always help Servis complete his mission, then in the end he will ask the player to go to a secret location on the Yatan Plateau to obtain the key prop [Amber Starlight].Then Selvis, the puppet controlled by Biddy, will make [Amber Potion] and let the player feed it to Lani, so that even the gods cannot resist the power of the medicine and become a puppet controlled by Biddy.

At the end of this branch, Lani had already seen through the disgusting things that Servis had done, but she temporarily lacked capable subordinates, so she always acquiesced.But after the player handed the potion to Lani, the Moon Princess turned against the player and Servis.

In the end, Biddy, as the puppet master, lost control of the puppet and died tragically at the hands of the puppet he took good care of.As a result, the player lost track of Lani and was unable to proceed with the branch plot of the "Stars" ending.

Of course, Roland himself did not choose to help Servis even once during the game. He would rather choose the madman than do the mage's side quest, even though the reward of this side quest would be [Magic Pair of Scorpion], one of the graduation equipment for mage players. 】.

There was no other reason than that the Selvis controlled by Biddy had a bad mouth.His yin and yang lines coupled with his condescending and arrogant tone, if he hadn't been cut off to allow Lani's branch plot to continue, Roland would have taken action when they first met.

After Neferi Lu heard Blaze's angry voice, she also reacted.The female warrior heard Roland tell her that there was a magic professor in the Kalia Walled City who was interested in her body and wanted to turn her into a puppet who only knew how to fight.

"Is it you!?" Neferi Lu also stood up, with a little anger in her pupils.

Bernal, who was watching the show, whistled and said to Roland: "If you don't say something, the old man will be torn alive by Blaze."

Roland coughed lightly and stopped Blaze: "Calm down, Blaze. I summoned him here to atone for his mistakes."

"Hmph, if I find out that you dare to betray Roland, I will bite you to pieces with my own teeth." After hearing Roland's words, Blaze let go of his hand and threw him back on the seat.

Biddy curled up in his chair, not daring to speak at all.

Seeing that the farce was almost over, Kenneth Hyde asked Roland: "Lord Roland, is he the 'key person' in your optimal solution?"

Roland nodded and explained his plan to Kenneth Hyde: "I am going to ask Biddy to make some of the surrendered magicians of the Offensive Council into puppets, and then publicly propose to the Offensive Council to exchange resources for these captives. This way it will be okay Planting hidden nails in the Austrian Parliament will be beneficial to subsequent military operations."

Kenneth Hyde nodded: "Well, is your implication that you are preparing to launch a counterattack against the Offa Council?"

Roland said: "That's right. Why can the Austrian Law Council attack and leave whenever they want? It doesn't make sense. I have to educate them."

Kenneth Hyde said: "The current question is whether the Biddy Master you summoned can successfully turn the captured mage into a puppet as lifelike as before."

Roland looked at Biddy who was peeking at him and sneered: "He will definitely do it. Are you right, Biddy?"

When Biddy heard Roland mention his name, his body trembled violently, and then he said solemnly: "As long as these mages drink the potion I made, they will lose consciousness and become puppets controlled by me. Please believe me, Lord Roland, the villain will definitely turn the prisoners you mentioned into puppets, so that even their relatives and friends will not be able to recognize them."

Blaze stood up and said proactively: "I will keep an eye on him, Roland, don't worry."

Roland showed a reassuring expression to Blaze, and then said: "Well, next I plan to send the bards hired by the Golden Federation to let them spread the news of the two defeats of the Offa Council throughout the entire Salid continent. I want to see how other countries take sides."

Chapter 1: Puppet Control

The story that the Offa Council sent troops to attack the Golden Federation twice and was defeated was spread to all parts of the Sarid continent along with the narratives of the bards.

The capital of the Holy Empire of France, the holy city of Emerion.

After listening to the report of his men, Emperor Latour nodded expressionlessly, and then looked at the fifth princess Evangeline who stood respectfully in the first place on the right hand side of the throne.

"Evangelin, if you sit in my position, what will you do next?" Emperor Latour's voice sounded majestic.

Evangeline was obviously taken aback. She never thought that her father would ask her this question.

The beautiful princess glanced at the eldest prince Albert who had the same expressionless face opposite her and looked similar to her father.She is not a vase, and after a brief thought, she immediately replied: "Back to my father, if I were allowed to do it, I would choose to send an envoy to the Golden Federation to express congratulations to them and exchange them for the magic weapon of the Arcane Council captured in their hands. .”

Latour nodded lightly, without judging Evangelin's words, but continued to turn to look at Cecilia.

Upon seeing this, Cecilia immediately understood what Emperor Latour meant and said aloud: "Evangelin's idea is very good, but I think that not only should we send envoys to the Golden Federation, but we should also send envoys to the Austrian Parliament. Messenger, sell them a favor."

Emperor Latour still didn't speak, and finally looked at the eldest prince Albert.

Albert bowed slightly to Cecilia and Evangeline, then straightened his back and faced Emperor Latour and said: "I think we should wait and see what happens. What Evangeline said about sending an envoy to the Golden Federation will Let the Offician Council think that the Holy Empire of France chose the latter between them and the Golden Federation. However, although Cecilia's idea of ​​sending an envoy to the Offician Council at the same time is a good one, I am afraid that the other party will not do so at this time. I feel that our overtures are a timely help."

Emperor Latour nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Continue."

Albert responded: "The two defeats of the Austrian Parliament does not mean that they have no resistance to the Golden Federation. In the first attack, they did not send out any troops in order to test the power of their country's magical weapons. Elite, but let some mage apprentices from the academy go out to participate in the battle. In the second attack, although Master Vladimi from the Life Research Institute was sent, this legendary magician was still an academic and not good at fighting. In summary , Although the two battle failures of the Offa Council made them feel heartbroken, because both battles were fought within the territory of the Golden Federation, they did not suffer from any pain."

"Of course, I feel that the Golden Federation has not used its full strength. Therefore, I think that our Holy Empire of France should continue to wait and see what happens and see how the third conflict between the two countries turns out before we choose sides, even if I We also hope that the Offa Council can test out for us where the bottom line of the Golden Federation’s military strength lies.”

Emperor Latour applauded, and the other standing ministers immediately followed suit.

Evangeline cast an admiring look at Albert, while Cecilia's eyes showed reluctance, but she also applauded.

The capital of Charles's empire, the white-walled capital of Wiener.

"Hahaha, this Arcane Council is deflated." The Judah Emperor's ridicule sounded in the court, and then he said happily: "It's so refreshing to relieve your anger. Let these stinky mages with noses above their eyes look down on people all day long. , Hahahaha, you must have finally been taught a lesson."

Heywood raised his head and glanced at the Emperor of Judah, then stood up tremblingly and said: "I dare to ask your majesty, do we want to change our diplomatic attitude towards the Golden Federation and the Offensive Parliament?"

"Ah? What's the point of changing this? If you don't change it, don't change it." Emperor Judah rolled his eyes at Heywood and waved his hand, thinking that Heywood was talking nonsense.

Heywood breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed the words of persuasion.Originally, he was worried that the Emperor of Judah would be impulsive or something, so he sent an envoy to the Austrian Parliament to ridicule him severely.After all, there had been precedents before, and Heywood had to guard against this happening.

"But..." Emperor Judah changed the topic, making Heywood feel fearful again.

Emperor Judah continued: "Although our country's diplomatic attitude has not changed on the surface, privately I am planning to send merchants to the Golden Dynasty to purchase the magic devices of the Arcane Council that they captured. Hum, the Arcane Council has been hiding the magic technology Hold on, I want to see what tricks they have come up with."

Heywood asked: "May I ask who your Majesty plans to send? All businessmen from our country should join..."

Emperor Judah said matter-of-factly: "Huh? Of course, let the businessmen from the Lulan Chamber of Commerce go. It seems that there are no more professional businessmen in our country than them, right?"

Heywood looked a little stunned and said subconsciously: "But I remember that the Golden Federation does not prohibit any member of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce from entering their city-state..."

"I know." Emperor Judah interrupted Heywood's words, with a cruel smile on his face: "Of course I know, but I just want to give this order. How to complete my order is something they have to think about, not Something for me to think about.”

"This... I understand." Heywood nodded. He thought of Lu Yi's recent actions and understood that the Emperor of Judah was going to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Emperor Judah showed a satisfied face, as if he had remembered something happy, and said to the ministers below in a refreshing mood: "If you have anything else to say, please hurry up."
