Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Several screams were heard in the distance outside the house, causing the expressions of the soldiers in the room to change.Because one of the owners of the screams was very familiar to them, it was the armored sergeant from before.

"No, the enemy is coming." The soldiers quickly turned off the lights, closed the door, and held their breath regardless of their fear of Commander Gadri.

Suddenly, the soldier who closed the door felt a sharp pain in his chest and coughed out blood from his mouth. He tried hard to turn around to see who had killed him, but he found the horrified eyes of his colleagues beside him.

"Clap."

The soldier was thrown to the ground, still alive and twitching on the cold floor.

Gadri remained expressionless, but shook the blood on his arm and turned to look at the other soldiers in the house.

"Ah——! Ugh!!! Save...ahhhhhhhh——" The soldier near the window had not recovered from the shock of his superior killing his colleague. The window was broken, and countless cold and pale bodies were stained with blood. His hands reached in and grabbed the soldier's head.

Tongue, eyes, jaw... The soldier's head was torn open alive by countless hands.

Only then did the other soldiers realize that the door was suddenly filled with people, and the moonlight was blocked by the dense crowd.

However, judging from the clothing, these people were obviously wearing the same clothes as themselves, and some soldiers even saw many familiar faces.It's just that like Gadri, they all have empty eyes and pale faces.

In a place where the soldiers could not see, a flash of blue fluorescent powder was sprinkled on the wounds of the two dead soldiers in the room.A strange thing happened. The wound healed automatically. In the blink of an eye, the head of the soldier whose eyes were ripped out changed from the bloody appearance of a tragic death to the appearance of an intact one.

But when the soldier stood up again and turned around to face his colleagues, the eyes that fell from his sockets told him that all this was just an appearance.

In Stargazing City, Servis waved his hand, and the puppet soldiers under his control rushed into the house.The screams came out along with the smell of wine and milk in the house. Servais enjoyed the pleasant sound and led the Stargazing City defenders who were turned into puppets behind him to clean up the luck in the city bit by bit. Soldiers escaping from the pursuit of the Gray Knights.

Chapter 172: I can’t hide it anymore

When the stars fell and the sun rose over Star Observation City the next day, the residents who were hiding from the war found that Star Observation City had become quiet as usual.

They cautiously walked out of the houses where they were hiding, and found that the eagles that had covered the sky yesterday were nowhere to be seen, and there was no movement of enemy cavalry galloping on the streets.If it weren't for the houses destroyed by fire, the large dark red blood stains on the streets, and the corpses lying on the ground...

Wait, where did all the bodies go?

Without exception, the residents who went out were all wide-eyed. All the corpses of soldiers who had fallen on the street yesterday had disappeared.Not only that, even the bodies of ordinary residents who died accidentally were missing.

The residents who saw this scene felt frightened in their hearts. They would not think that the enemy soldiers were kind-hearted and helped collect all the corpses.As residents of the Alfa Council, their first reaction was to think that the undead came into the city last night and turned all these corpses into their companions.

Well, actually there is nothing wrong with them thinking this way in a sense.It's just that the person who turned the corpse into a companion was not an undead, but the puppet master Selvis.

Throwing away a handful of corpses whose bodies were too mutilated, Servis spent a lot of ether to turn the dead soldiers and residents in Stargazer City into his own puppets. Fortunately, with the support of the Golden Tree, he did not spend too much money. Much of its own ether.

At present, Servis has led all the dead soldiers and residents of Stargazer City out of the city. Since the corpses do not need to consider physical strength and fatigue, they can continue to maintain speed and keep up with the cavalry regiment rushing ahead.

Maintaining speed here means that you will not be left behind for more than half a day, but it does not mean that you can catch up with Roland and others.

However, the residents of Stargazing City soon discovered that many unknown people were suddenly walking around the city to maintain law and order.

Because of the siege yesterday, there were many incidents of robbery among the residents in the city.Although Roland did not consider operations such as pacifying the hearts of these captured cities, he still had to send people to maintain the most basic security.

In any case, this is the territory he has laid down. If he doesn't have time to take care of it now, it doesn't mean he won't take care of it in the future. He doesn't want to look back after attacking the Austrian Parliament and find that these territories have turned into a chaotic area covered with chicken feathers.

The candidates to maintain law and order are soldiers selected from the local area. After more than half a year of blessings from the golden tree, these local people's physical fitness is much better than before, and they can serve as reserve troops for the king's army.

However, in terms of loyalty, it cannot be compared with the real king's army, but compared with the vast majority of soldiers in this world who are soldiers just to get military pay, the ideological aspect is much stronger, and there will be no such thing as the defenders of Stargazing City. This is a phenomenon where people panic and run away when a leader dies.

For now, at least they can easily do the job of maintaining law and order in the city.

Of course, it is not only these reserve troops who come to Stargazing City through the blessing teleportation point, but also the accompanying supervisory army who are responsible for supervising that they will not take the opportunity to do bad things to the residents of the city.

These supervisors are all served by residents from the border areas, and are all under the charge of Malkit.Once they discover that soldiers in the Reserve Corps have done something that violates military discipline, they will immediately record it and report it.

What awaits these soldiers who violate military discipline is Malkit's own thunderous sanctions.

In the battle of Stargazing City, the army led by Roland suffered very little losses.

7 Storm War Eagles were killed by arrows and spells in the air, and 3 winged hybrids were all killed in the melee in the city in order to defend a key intersection with the reinforcements coming from the Stargazing City. The rest were only injured and can be ignored. Minor injuries not counted.After the Golden Tree's projection illuminated the Star Observation City, the injured Storm Eagle and Winged Hybrids quickly recovered under the influence of Melina's restoration prayers.

As for the knights, the ones who may have suffered the most damage are the Gryk knights.Because the weapons and shields in their hands and the armor on their bodies were somewhat worn, these were all the injuries they received.

Bernal seemed a little uninterested now, but Roland could understand him.

Because when he entered the city, he didn't even have to wait for Bernal to exert his strength. The homeless knights following him had already killed one enemy after another who blocked the road.The small Stargazing City has no single enemy against this group of homeless knights. No matter how many soldiers they encounter, they can be eliminated in a very short time.The war horses are so fast under the power of the storm, which is why the number of winged hybrids killed in battle is very small, because after the homeless knights entered the city, they spontaneously carried out raids according to the map in their minds.

Due to the soldiers who died in Star Observation City and the residents who died in the melee, Roland now has a lot of ether in his body, but he has not used it yet.

At present, the strength of this knight group is sufficient, and he plans to use the obtained ether to prevent possible emergencies.

So on the territory of the Offa Council, a Gold Federation army rampaged across the territory, attacking with overwhelming force into the hinterland of the Offa Council.

Phantom County, Baicao City, Secret Journey Academy, Emerald City, Clear Sky Academy, and Phantom City. These five cities or large mage colleges were breached like stargazing cities. The Night Cavalry surveyed the terrain, the Storm War Eagle bombed, and the Knights breached the city. , and finally Servais led more and more puppets to clean up.

It is worth mentioning that Roland encountered some resistance when attacking two large magic academies - Secret Journey Academy and Clear Sky Academy.

When the Storm Eagles were bombing, they were hit a lot with spells by the mages in the academy, and the death rate could be said to have skyrocketed.Moreover, the bombing effect was not very good compared to other cities. The winged hybrids that landed were quickly killed under the obstruction of the instructors of the academy.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, it is a magic academy. It is full of mages who can cast magic, and there are even many large spell scrolls.Some buildings are also protected by magic barriers, and high explosive barrels are somewhat powerless against this.

Then Bernal took action.

Two large magic academies did not even last for half a day before they were immediately defeated. Zoltan Jimenez, the dean of the Secret Journey Academy [Wanderer], and Tahar Biton, the dean of Clear Sky Academy [Fire Sun], died in the battle.

According to the mages who escaped back to the Arcane Council, they only saw their dean pulling the enemy into the magical field of his legendary mage, but in the blink of an eye, the field dissipated, leaving only a few cuts on the ground. Duan’s dean’s body and the figure of a man who was not even stained with blood.

There was nothing Roland could do about these mages who used teleportation scrolls to escape directly.He said helplessly that there were mages everywhere in the magic academy. Unless he had a way to level two magic academies in an instant, there was really nothing he could do against those mages who just ran away if they couldn't be beaten.

But this also shows how powerful Bernal is.

You must know that Clear Sky College received a warning from the Austrian Law Council and made targeted tactics against Bernal, but the college principal was still killed with a knife.The death of the college principal demoralized the mages, who were not good at facing wars, and made the subsequent siege much easier.

Roland just lit up the projection of the golden tree in the territory of the Offician Parliament. When the Offician Parliament found that even if they were serious, they could not resist the opponent's advance, the members of the House of Lords realized that what the other party wanted was to transfer their The capital was captured.

Alois was furious and ordered the MPs to send emergency relief to various countries.There was no other way. Faced with the unpredictable strength of Bernal, the cautious Alois did not choose to challenge him arrogantly.

The two deans who died in their fields for no apparent reason are role models.

That is to say, the envoys that Alois personally asked for help were sent to the palaces of the leaders of various countries in the Salid continent. Only then did they discover what great things Roland had done quietly with the Golden Federation.

Suddenly, all countries, including the elves, acted according to their own ideas.

Chapter 173: Send troops to help or take advantage of the situation?

Charles' empire, the white-walled capital of Wiener, the royal palace.

"Crazy, so crazy, hahahahahaha." The emperor of Judah's wanton laughter filled the palace in the morning, and the ministers below bowed their heads and kept silent.

He stood up from his throne, pacing quickly from side to side, with a ferocious expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.The Emperor of Judah has not slept since he received the news from the Offa Council urgently asking for help late last night.

The envoy of the Offician Parliament told him: If he can send troops to help repel the Golden Federation's army, the Offician Parliament is willing to provide a number of magical technologies and a large amount of magic materials to the Charles Empire, and every year the Offician Parliament's highest academy Alois College can give Charles Empire 10 free study places.

To be honest, the Emperor of Judah was a little moved.

Magical skills were not the key. What he was interested in was the training places in the ten highest academies.

It can be seen from the name of the academy that the Supreme Academy was founded by Alois, the chief speaker of the Austrian Parliament. Those who can enter it to learn spells are without exception the geniuses with great magic talents in the Salid continent.

The academy will not only provide expensive magic food to help students increase their etheric capacity, but they can also learn various mysteries and spells developed by President Alois.

As long as you can graduate from the highest academy normally, you will at least be an epic mage.

However, the highest academy only accepts 200 places each year, and the admission standards all depend on Alois's mood. No matter how powerful or wealthy the young master or young lady is, they cannot break this rule, and even members of the royal family cannot enjoy privileges.

However, the large number of legendary and epic mages who graduate from it every year tells the world how powerful this academy is.

As the second largest country in the Sarid continent, the Charles Empire has a vast territory and has no shortage of geniuses with spell affinity talents, but few of these geniuses can step into the epic realm on their own.

Because training a mage to be promoted to an epic requires too much money and material resources, even the royal family of the Charles Empire has no way.

The quota provided by the Officine Council at this time is equivalent to telling the Emperor of Judah that after the first batch of students graduate, the Charles Empire will have 10 more powerful epic mages every year.This undoubtedly made the Emperor of Judah very excited.

He stopped in his tracks, sat back on the throne, and told the officials in the hall what the envoy of the Austrian Parliament had said.It's just that the Emperor of Judah kept an eye on it. Of the ten places provided by the Offa Council Academy every year, he only told the people below about five.

The five hidden ones were of course for the royal enjoyment of the Emperor of Judah himself.

"So my dear friends, do you agree to send troops or are you against sending troops?" The Emperor of Judah asked, sitting on the throne and squinting his eyes. He had already seen the eyes of many ministers reveal their faces after hearing that the Austrian Law Council provided free places for further study at the school. A thoughtful look.

As soon as the Emperor of Judah finished speaking, many ministers stood up and agreed with the dispatch of troops with excited expressions, as if the troops coming to the city were not the Austrian Law Council but their family.

"Your Majesty! I think we should send troops. This Golden Federation is too arrogant!"

"That's right, the Austrian Parliament communicates with our Charles Empire every year and has signed another alliance with us. Furthermore, the Golden Federation has repeatedly blocked our strategic attacks on the Holy Empire of France. Your Majesty, this is reasonable for us. Everyone should send troops to help the Offa Council.”

"I second the proposal."XN

Emperor Judah's face was still expressionless, but he was sneering in his heart.These guys who stood up all had close ties with the Offician Council in their families. Their descendants had blood relatives who studied at the Offician Council or simply became teachers.

Of course there are more old foxes who have not come forward.The emperor of Judah silently recorded the faces of these ministers.

At this time, he noticed that Heywood was concentrating with his eyes closed, and seemed to be uninterested in the quarrel in the court.The Emperor Judah knew that Heywood's family had also purchased a lot of properties in the Offa Council, and the talented children in the family had also been sent to various academies in the Offa Council for further studies.But the old minister's indifferent look aroused the Emperor Judah's interest. He knew that the other party's look was for his own good, but he was also really curious about what Heywood was thinking.

So the Emperor of Judah said: "Haywood, do you think I should send troops to help the Austrian Parliament, or should I not send troops?"

Heywood opened his eyes, and a light seemed to flash through his old eyes.The old minister bowed respectfully to the Emperor of Judah and said: "Back to the king, the old minister thinks: these troops must be sent out, but they must not be sent out."

"What does this mean?" the Emperor of Judah wondered at this contradictory answer.

At this moment, the court also became quiet, and they wanted to see what this veteran minister, who was inferior to one person but superior to ten thousand people, wanted to say.

Heywood bowed: "What the veteran means is that in response to the request of the Offa Council, we should send reinforcements in accordance with the covenant. However, it is hard to say who the reinforcements are supporting."

Then Heywood looked around, looked at the other ministers who were not talking, and finally looked at the Emperor of Judah, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are other colleagues. I think you all know how powerful the Golden Federation Army is. It can definitely be said to be Charles is the second most serious enemy in his empire, so we cannot allow this country to continue to grow."

The number one serious concern is naturally the Holy Empire of France, and everyone in the court knows this.

"However, the Offician Council is also not a good thing. Haha, what is the attitude of the Offician Council's mages towards us, and how much advantage they take every year. I think everyone has a weighing scale in their hearts. Now, the Golden Federation and the Offican Council are in conflict. It’s the best time for us.”

Heywood breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "So the old minister's suggestion is: send troops, but sit back and watch the fight. Whether the Golden Federation is hit hard or the Austrian Parliament is hit hard, we only need to help the winning side. . In this way, the Charles Empire can make a steady profit without losing money. In this way, we can not only know the background of the Golden Federation and the Austrian Parliament, but also gain some benefits from the situation."

Then Heywood looked at the Emperor of Judah, smiled, and finally paused deliberately: "Even if both sides lose..."

"I understand what you mean." Emperor Judah nodded, and then continued: "Then according to what Heywood said, we will send an army of [-] to the Offa Council."

Heywood also said at this time: "Your Majesty, don't march too fast. As the saying goes, it is easier to invite gods than to send them away. You know."

Hey.The Emperor of Judah grinned and showed a terrifying smile.This old guy Heywood means to tell me not to be polite when I pass by the city of Offa Council.

Chapter 174: Unexpected reinforcements

The envoys of the Austrian Parliament were scattered to all parts of the Sarid continent, but only a few countries actually sent troops to help.It can only be said that the arrogant behavior of the mages in the past finally swallowed its bitter pill at this moment.

Many of the countries that sent troops to help had the same mentality as the Charles Empire, and they were watching to see if they could take advantage of the opportunity.

For example, the Holy Empire of France, like the Charles Empire, agreed to the request of the Offician Parliament’s envoys to send troops and sent 1 troops to the territory of the Offanic Parliament.

What is interesting is that the Charles Empire did not send any dragon knights, and the Holy Empire of France also did not send out Pegasus knights.The armies sent by both sides are ordinary regular armies, and they are all designated by numbers. No one has a separate army name.

How to put it, neither side wants to have a head-on conflict with the Golden Federation.Especially when the leaders of both sides heard that the troops of the Golden Federation invading the Offa Council were only a few hundred people, this mentality became even more common.

The Emperor of Judah thought this way: If a few hundred people can defeat your Offican Council like this, then I will definitely suffer heavy losses if I send the elite army there.My relationship with you is not good enough for me to be so helpful, so it would be nice to send some ordinary soldiers.

Emperor Latour had this idea: It would be great if these hundreds of elite warriors from the Golden Federation could be put to my use. I must not conflict with the Golden Federation this time, and I would like to cooperate with them if possible.

It's not that Emperor Latour is crazy for having such an idea, but it's spring now, and the pressure from the Chaos Familia on the northern border is increasing.

At this stage, the army of the Holy Pope State can still maintain its defense line and prevent the Chaos Familia from breaking in, but as time goes by, it will definitely seek help from the Holy Empire of France, and the Holy Empire of France cannot ignore the Holy Pope. country’s request for assistance.

Emperor Latour understands the truth of death. Once the Holy Pope Kingdom falls, it will be his own Holy Empire of France that will face the Chaos Familia directly.

However, his country is currently in military conflict with the Charles Empire. As an emperor, Latour will definitely not believe that the Emperor of Judah will stop attacking the Holy Empire of France because of matters on the northern border.The stability of a country can never rely solely on the consciousness of other countries. If Emperor Latour really did this, he would be a big fool.

What Emperor Latour needs most right now is an alliance that can help resist the Charles Empire.Or simply, as long as it can hold back the Charles Empire and give itself a chance to breathe until autumn.

Then at this time, the Golden Federation, which had repeatedly opposed the Charles Empire, came into the sight of Emperor Latour.

However, no country with autonomy sincerely sent troops to help the Offa Council, but the small countries affiliated with the Offa Council had to send their own troops to help despite the pain.These small countries basically spent their own money to help the Austrian and French Parliament solve this trouble. Even after solving the problem, they would not receive rewards. Instead, the Austrian and French Parliament would further control their national power.

Roland was not in a hurry after learning all this. Faced with the troops from small countries that had united to rescue them, he only sent one knight to stop them.Instead, after learning that the Charles Empire was also marching towards the Offician Parliament, Roland sent Nephili Lu to lead half of the homeless knights and all the exiled soldiers back to Pulin City to garrison in order to prevent the other party from possible old attacks. Six behaviors.

He has no trust in the Charles Empire. Both the Emperor of Judah and Lu Yi are his enemies.Especially Lu Yi, Roland didn't believe that the troops of Charles Empire just came to the Austrian Parliament to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

After all, he still didn't know how much control Lu Yi had over the army of Charles Empire.But what Roland can be sure of is that as long as Lu Yi follows what he said before, he will definitely control part of the Charles Empire's army if he is not stupid.

If she didn't have any self-protection power in her hands, then Lu Yi would be like He Shen, the emperor's cash machine.

Anyway, there were so many puppet soldiers under Servis, so Roland simply asked Neferi Lu to go back first.The Storm War Eagle also listened to him, so the problem wasn't that big.

But what Roland never expected was that not many people in the human kingdom would sincerely help the Austrian Parliament. Instead, a reinforcement came from the alien race, which even surprised Roland.

Roland rode Torrett, stroking the mane of the spirit horse, squinting his eyes, and looked at the brand new flag erected on the city wall of Twilight City next to the flag of the Offensive Council embroidered with a golden staff.As the cold wind blew, the flag fluttered in the air, revealing the patterns on it.

——Phoenix reborn from the ashes.

It is the royal flag of the Songyue Dynasty, which means that the Elf Royal Family chose to support the Arcane Council.
