Carry the Ring of Elden with you

The puppet master came to Alois and said in a mean tone: "Come with me, I need your teleportation magic. The two of us will go to another place to place my puppet soldiers."

Facing the mage who had planted a restriction in his mind, Alois did not dare to neglect at all, and nodded in agreement.

It seemed that the President had already adapted to his identity, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes when he passed the body of the pure-blooded dragon following Servis.

This is the body of a pure-blood dragon, and even Alois has only read about it in books and knows the functions of some of its parts.

It is said that this dragon is good at fire and gravity control. Drinking the dragon's bone marrow can make Alois' etheric perception of these two attributes further.

But when Alois thought that he had broken through the barrier to become a demigod under the influence of that golden blessing, he looked away a little.

Roland has already arranged the whereabouts of Servis's puppet soldiers. There are currently nearly [-] puppet soldiers in total. It would be a pity to directly remove the control.

Although the strength of these puppet soldiers is average, miscellaneous soldiers have the advantages of miscellaneous soldiers.

For example, if Servis scattered these 13 puppets around Pulin City, the soldiers of the No. 7000 Legion who broke into pieces and ran into the mountains and forests to attack small towns and villages whose defenses were more vulnerable would be like this. In the mountain forest, the loss rate of surrounding towns and villages will be greatly reduced this time.

Anyway, Pulin City is a converted military fortress, and there is a large enough place under the city to store these puppet soldiers, so it doesn't matter.

While Servis took Alois to deal with the puppet soldiers, Roland was not idle either. He simply chose to summon [Red Lion Knight] Oga at the cost of 10000 ether points.

Not only that, he also summoned 1000 soldiers of the Latarn King's Army and 20 Red Lion Knights.

The consumption of these ethers basically came from the three demigods who died in the Arcane Council. Roland was very grateful to the God of Magic Gonzaro for the gift.

Since Alois and many of the magicians of the Offa Council chose to surrender, the capital of the Offa Council did not suffer much loss, which meant that the ordinary troops guarding the city were not damaged.

As the capital with the third largest concentration of wealth on the Sarid continent, the Offa Council maintains nearly 5 soldiers, including 2000 cavalry and 5000 other operators who control magic devices.

As for the number of mages, they were not included in the number of these soldiers. According to Alois, if he wanted to, a mage army of ten thousand people could be easily put together.

Note that it is a patchwork, which means that this mage army is actually not that scary. Most of them are composed of mage apprentices who have just learned basic spells.However, quantitative changes can also lead to qualitative changes, but only about 5 mages who have stepped into the legendary realm must be in charge.

因为这些学徒们对于以太的理解是不够的，控制力非常差。如果说1个学徒控制1颗火球没有问题，10个学徒控制10颗融合起来的火球会略感吃力，100个学徒控制100颗融合起来的火球就要竭尽全力，而1000个学徒要控制1000颗融合起来的火球那会让火球直接爆炸。

Therefore, it is necessary to have a high-level mage assist from the side.

Far away.

In fact, after the Austrian Parliament surrendered in Kaicheng, Roland no longer had a headache due to the number of soldiers, but the quality of the soldiers was worrying.

This time, soldiers from the No. 13 Legion of the Charles Empire invaded. Nephili Lu and Malkit, who learned the news, also sent many local soldiers to strengthen defenses.

However, the actual effect is clear to everyone. These local troops did not benefit from the No. 13 Legion soldiers of the Charles Empire.

After listening to Neferi Lu's report, Roland discovered that the root cause was not the poor physical fitness of the local soldiers, but the mental quality.

It took less than three months for these locals to become soldiers. Before that, many of them were civilians who had to spend a long time to kill a chicken.

Even if the soldiers of the No. 13 Legion of the Charles Empire cannot compare with elite soldiers like the [Black Panther Legion], they are not a ragtag army, but a serious and numerically numbered army.Every soldier has been in the army for many years, and their psychological quality in battle is nowhere higher than that of an army composed of locals from the Golden Federation.

This resulted in the fact that although the physical fitness of the locals of the Golden Federation was better, they were repeatedly frustrated when facing the experienced Charles Imperial Army.

Rather than being soldiers, they are more like militiamen who have received certain training, and there is still a gap between them and real soldiers.

Of course, not all local troops were defeated.

Many of them had been adventurers, mercenaries, or soldiers of other non-human races. After joining the Golden Federation and receiving blessings, they also performed brilliantly when facing the Charles Imperial Army.

Roland heard Neferi Lu mention that a tiger-headed orc led his team to successfully protect a remote town with a small victory over a large number.

The local army that has undergone intensive training was so unbearable when facing a seasoned enemy for the first time, not to mention the army of the Offa Council.Even better than his own local soldiers, Roland was more familiar with the Ordinary Army of the Offa Council.

Why?Because he had just fought, of course he knew what the strength of the ordinary soldiers of the Austrian Law Council was.

Among all the NPCs or soldiers summoned by Roland now, there are no characters who are particularly good at military training.

The big tree guard counts as one.But his training method is not used to train ordinary soldiers, but to strictly select the knights who guard the golden tree, and is not universal.Moreover, his training methods are not something that ordinary people can bear.

As the city lord of Hyde Fortress, Kenneth Hyde is good at government affairs rather than military affairs, otherwise he would not have been kicked out by a knight commander.

As for the other people, Roland has also considered them, but what Roland needs now is not to train ordinary people into militiamen, but to train militiamen into soldiers.

So this time the summoning of [Red Lion Knight] Oga was unlocked, which just gave Roland a real candidate.

In the game, as long as it involves the text of King Latarn's army, players can basically feel the elite, loyalty and strength of the other party.What's more important is the belief that exists in the hearts of the Red Lion soldiers. This belief supports their loyalty to General Latan, even if the general has become a man tortured crazy by scarlet corruption.

What impressed Roland most deeply was the stretch of road in front of the Immortal Bridge in Red Lion City: piles of burning corpses of corrupt creatures, walls of fire burning to black, and when players passed by, they suddenly blew military horns to shout at the surrounding corrupt creatures. Dog charging Rattan soldiers.

Even if the general has gone crazy, even if thousands of years have passed and his sanity no longer exists, these soldiers are still determined to eliminate corruption, turning their remaining bodies into fire to prevent the scarlet corruption from spreading to the entire border area.

Chapter 13:Marriage?

On February 2, the day when winter was over and warm spring was about to return, two events occurred that shocked the continent of Sarid.

The first thing is that in less than 30 days, the Austrian Parliament was attacked by the Golden Federation like a pack of wolves for thousands of miles. It was attacked all the way from the Iron Wall City, which is known as the strongest defense, to the capital of the country and was defeated by the President. Alois took the initiative to open the city and surrender.

The leaders of various countries were in an uproar and at the same time heard rumors that were not true or false.

That is, the reason why General Speaker Alois surrendered in Kaicheng was because the enemy he faced was a real god. That is why the General Speaker, whose name is enough to leave three pages in the history books, surrendered without a fight. .

The countries closest to the Offa Parliament have all believed this statement, for no other reason than that since the Offa Parliament surrendered, the night sky has been clearly visible hanging in it over their lands.Even at noon when the sun shines brightest, it can't cover up the darkness of the night sky and the light of the stars.

There is no answer other than God who can do this.

The most nervous ones now are some medium-sized countries that have had conflicts with the Officine Council and whose territories are close to each other. When their emperors or kings asked the demigods who guarded their countries, they all saw solemnity on the faces of the demigods.

So they panicked even more.

They thought that with the grudge-holding character of the old guy Alois, he would definitely take out the previous battles and settle the matter after he had a bigger backer.

Of course, there are more rational think tanks among these countries. They believe that the Austrian Parliament captured by the Golden Federation will not obey Alois's order to retaliate against other countries in a short time.

In addition to the fact that the Golden Dynasty needs time to digest the territory of the Arcane Council and completely turn it into its own territory, the more important reason is that the Arcane Council is the territory of Gonzaro, the God of Magic.

Even if the gods no longer exist in this era (they don't know that the Arcane Council used a legendary archmage as a living sacrifice to summon a ghost of Gonzalo to appear.), their territory is occupied by a god. Something that can be indifferent to.

Therefore, God of Magic Gonzaro will sooner or later impose divine punishment on the Golden Federation that has invaded his territory, and the possible god of the Golden Federation will definitely fight back.

In other words, there is no time to pay attention to other places before the two gods decide the winner.

Then the emperors or kings of these countries all asked their think tanks a similar question: "Do you think the fight between two gods will affect our country?"

Then the think tanks of these countries fell into an awkward silence, thinking of the annihilation of the northern orc kingdom.

It was just a commotion caused by a fight between a few demigods. They didn't know what the war between the gods would be like, but there were very vague descriptions in the historical books handed down...

The wise men and counselors in the think tank thought of the horrific descriptions in the book, and cold sweat flowed from their foreheads.

When these countries that are connected to the territory of the Austrian Parliament think that their homes may be the victims of a fire at the city gate, their emperors or kings all have the urge to lift the table and curse at their mothers for a moment.

Despite the criticism, the diplomatic strategy still needs to be changed.

Maybe they really need to re-evaluate the Golden Federation and change their previous views.

The feeling of these countries now is: Oh my god, how could I have dreamed that the Golden Federation was a dream even weaker than our country's strength?

Other countries that are relatively far away from the Austrian Parliament or have strong confidence in their own national strength have not focused on the future war between the two gods, especially the Holy Empire of France and Emperor Latour. He ordered his military advisers to study how Roland fought from the Iron Wall City to the capital of the Offa Council in just one month.

Emperor Latour knew clearly that a god had indeed arrived in the Golden Federation, but he knew even more clearly that the time of this god's general happened to be after the Offa Council sent envoys to ask for help from them when they were attacked in the capital.

This means that Roland did not rely on that god before attacking the capital of the Offician Parliament, but relied on military tactics that had never appeared on the continent of Sarid to conquer the Offician Parliament.

Emperor Latour's eyes were venomous. He realized that this was a brand new form of warfare. If the Holy Empire of France could not understand and learn, it would be very passive when facing the Golden Dynasty in the future.

He even issued a death order. If the specific situation cannot be known within a month, all military advisers in office will be hanged.

So under the strict orders, Emperor Latour's military advisers made a lot of detailed plans, pretending to be traveling merchants, adventurers, and mercenaries, and poured into the cities attacked by the Golden Federation in the Orfa Council to find out what happened in these cities. .

The military advisers looked at the intelligence sent back by the agents. They all discovered a common characteristic and reported it to Emperor Latour.

"The bird-shaped monster flying in the sky and the earth-shattering explosion? And then the Golden Federation won inexplicably?" Emperor Latour narrowed his eyes and looked at the memorial summarized by the military advisers in his hand, with a playful expression.

He looked at Cecilia, who was uncharacteristically wearing a military uniform, and said, "Cecilia, what do you think?"

Cecilia knelt down on one knee.Her long silver-white hair was tied into a ponytail, creating a beautiful arc behind her head.She answered her father's question seriously: "Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that before each attack on a city, the Golden Federation sends a large number of flying monsters carrying dangerous explosives to bomb the city walls and key buildings in the city. The command system was paralyzed and the soldiers were leaderless, and then the Golden Federation launched a charge to break through the city wall. Without the existence of defensive buildings like the city wall, the Golden Federation relied on the strong individual qualities of the soldiers to attack the city."

Emperor Latour smiled and nodded, obviously satisfied with his daughter's answer.

Then he said: "Cecilia, the most beautiful and brave among all my daughters. Do you really want to go to the north and lead an army to resist the coming Chaos Familia?"

Cecilia nodded resolutely: "Your Majesty, yes, I have made my decision. This is my last chance, and I do not intend to just give up the throne to Brother Albert."

When she said this, she looked at Emperor Latour without fear, her pupils filled with ambition and desire for the throne.

The fourth princess continued: "Your Majesty is aware of everything, so as a daughter, I do not intend to hide my thoughts in front of you. Of course, I do not intend to compete for the throne from you. I just want you to see, father, that I, The fourth princess, Cecilia, is no worse than the eldest prince, Albert. I want you to take my performance into consideration and give me a chance when determining the heir."

Emperor Latour's expression did not change much after hearing his daughter's ambitious words. He just asked lightly: "Cecilia, do you know what the price of abolishing the elder and establishing the younger has been since ancient times?"

Cecilia nodded: "Of course I know, father. So I assure you that the competition for the throne between me and my brother Albert will not affect the development of the Holy Empire of France. It will not affect the development of the Holy Empire of France, but it will lead to the loss of a country and a ruined life for the people." The country is not what I want it to be.”

Emperor Latour did not follow Cecilia's words, but changed the topic and said: "If you come back from the north this time, if you can't satisfy me, I will send someone to make peace with the Golden Federation. You will serve as The bride is marrying Roland. I heard people say that the Golden Federation is martial, so the bride who marries the past will definitely not be a weak-minded woman. Therefore, you, who have been dancing with guns and swords since childhood, are the best candidate. The decision to get married this time is also between you and me. The mother discussed and decided together,"

After hearing this, Cecilia only felt suffocated. Her calloused hands tightened during sword practice. She did not protest or be angry, but nodded calmly and accepted: "Okay."

"You don't object?" Emperor Latour asked, staring at his daughter.

Cecilia shook her head: "I have no reason to object. The Golden Federation is now at its peak, and it is completely reasonable for your father to send me over to get married. As a direct member of the Latour royal family, I have already sworn to dedicate my soul and body to It. And you also gave me one last chance and didn’t directly marry me to the Golden Federation, didn’t you?”

Emperor Latour nodded: "As long as you understand, go down. Don't be brave when you are in the north. Listen to the local generals. This is my father's last advice to you."

Cecilia stood up and saluted, then turned around and strode away. The crisp sound of iron boots and marble floor echoed in Emperor Latour's royal hall.

Only after turning her back to her father, Cecilia showed an expression of reluctance. She clenched her hands and had tears in her eyes.But soon this feeling of not being willing to be the victim of marriage turned into the fuel of burning ambition. The fourth princess stopped going home and turned towards the military camp.

Emperor Latour looked at his daughter's fading figure and sighed inwardly.

My innocent daughter, you want to fight for the throne openly, but Albert doesn't think so.

But then Emperor Latour stopped sighing. It was natural that Cecilia went to the north to garrison. The purpose was to keep her away from Albert's sharp edge. After returning, he sent her to get married. This was also part of his intention.

After all, they are all his own flesh and blood, and Emperor Latour tried his best to prevent them from killing each other.

But if Cecilia still doesn’t understand that Emperor Latour’s good intentions and desire for the throne are still so persistent, then before being a father, he is first and foremost the emperor of the empire, and the throne sitting under his butt is also full of stains. The blood of his closest relatives.

While the Holy Empire of France was studying Roland's tactics and preparing to deal with the invasion of the Northern Chaos Familia after the beginning of spring, the Charles Empire on the other side was not feeling well.

The second thing that shocked the Sarid continent was related to it. The Golden Federation publicly declared to all countries that the Charles Empire had been classified by them as a state of permanent hostility and would never accept any form of negotiation.

Of course, the shock brought by this incident was not as great as the surrender of the Offa Council to the Golden Federation, but this claim was enough to give the Emperor of Judah a headache.

The Emperor of Judah looked at the civil and military officials in the hall with a gloomy face and said nothing. The ministers below also lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.The court, which originally had a large number of people attending the morning court, had fewer courtiers than before.

As for where the missing people have gone, everyone knows very well. Their heads are now hanging bloody in the square of the palace, together with their relatives and friends.

Even at this time, the execution was still going on, and the sounds of crying and cursing could be heard clearly coming into the palace from outside, which further confirmed the fact that the Emperor of Judah was a tyrant.

Without exception, these people were all officials or generals who had been very close to Lu Yizuo, but a closer look revealed that there were not many nobles who could be ranked high.

Those big nobles who had used each other with Lu Yi had already gotten the news and ran away, leaving only the unlucky ones and scapegoats.

There are actually some who are unjustly accused, such as Eskar, the commander of the No. 13 Legion, who is a serious member of the Judas faction.

But Judas didn’t know what happened to Eskar. Judging from the fact that the soldiers of the [No. 13 Legion] rebelled with the two legions [Black Panther] and [Goshawk], then everyone with Everyone related to the No. 13 Legion was executed on the order of the Emperor of Judah.

In fact, the Emperor of Judah also knew that some of them must have been wronged, but at this time, he had to issue a heavy ceremony to let people in the court know the means of betraying him.

Heywood lowered his head, cold sweat streaming down the old man's face.Even he, the current Emperor of Judah, dared not touch his brow.

Then at this moment, a messenger suddenly walked in.He looked at the solemn and suffocating atmosphere in the court, swallowed his saliva, stepped over the ministers, and handed the urgent memorial in his hand to the Emperor of Judah.

The Emperor of Judah took the memorial with an expressionless face, removed the paint, and unfolded the parchment. What he saw were a few large scarlet characters, which stung the eyes of the Emperor of Judah: A rebellion has broken out in the southern part of the empire.

At this time, a shadow thorn suddenly appeared from the shadow behind the throne. Under the mask, he said something anxiously to the ear of the Judah Emperor. The Judah Emperor's expression did not change even after seeing the news of the rebellion in the southern part of the empire. His face suddenly turned pale.

Because what Shadow Thorn said was: Dolanir and Dolanguier, the remnants of the previous royal family, disappeared from the underground prison.

Compared with the already anxious Emperor of Judah, the atmosphere on Roland's side was much better.

At this time, he looked at the summoned [Red Lion Knight] Oga and said, "Are you asking me if there is a place where soldiers can train with real swords and guns without endangering their lives?"

Chapter 14: The Call of the Caves and Underground Cemetery

Facing Oga's proposal, Roland fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he said: "Nimgefu's arena has a mechanism similar to what you mentioned. People who participate in the competition can choose to participate in fake or real bodies. Some soldiers also often go to the competition to train themselves. What do you think? Is this ok?"

Oga, who was wearing a helmet and didn't know his true identity, shook his head after hearing this: "I'm afraid not. According to what you said, Lord Roland, those soldiers must know that the arena does not really endanger their lives, so they can't pray. The role of courage training.”

He explained: "I have inspected the armies composed of local people. If they have done the best they can in terms of team discipline and fighting, the only thing they lack is to fight with real swords and guns. I It was observed that the local soldiers who participated in the defense battle and survived this time have made very obvious progress, which is completely different from the recruits who have not participated in the battle. When I was under the command of General Latarn, every soldier of the Red Lion Army Soldiers all come out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. So I think, Lord Roland, if you want the strength of these soldiers to catch up with our soldiers of the King's Army, it is essential to kill the enemy and witness the sacrifice of your companions."

To put it simply, the theoretical class is close to full marks, and it’s time to take a practical class to test the results.

Roland nodded, and then showed a wry smile: "Of course I understand this, but now including the soldiers in the newly occupied Austrian Parliament, they are only enough for us at the moment. Let's not mention Oga. Will your proposal make the soldiers dissatisfied? The loss of soldiers caused by this training method is not something we can accept at the moment."
