Carry the Ring of Elden with you

He said hello, chatted with the other party, and asked about the situation of the other party entering the cemetery.

The captain also had a wry smile on his face and said: "Although we lost two teammates, we have solved the puzzle and opened the stone door. But as a result, many little devil statues came out of the stone door. I led the remaining team members to fight to the death. As a result, they were all wiped out before they even entered the gate."

"Then what did Instructor Oga think of you?" Grantson asked curiously.

The captain closed his eyes and said: "He said that I have no self-awareness. As a soldier, when you find a large number of enemies and there are friendly forces behind you, instead of asking for help from the rear, you stay where you are and fight. It is a stupid behavior. Let me Go and revise the captain's code and copy it three times."

"To be honest, I didn't know you could call for reinforcements, and the instructor didn't say you could." The captain looked aggrieved.

But it seems that the task assigned to us by instructor Oga before departure is: clear the enemies in the catacombs.

Grantson's lips twitched when he thought of this. He did not say that he couldn't call for reinforcements.And when he led the team into the tomb, the wooden door at the entrance to the tomb was indeed not closed.

He patted the captain's shoulder to comfort him.

A few days later, while the soldiers here were being tortured in the underground caves and cemeteries at the junction, Roland and others over there were also preparing a plan to attack the Charles Empire.

Roland has returned to Stonewell City, and Melina and Lani are also back with him.

Blaise, who originally represented the royal family of Kallia at the meeting, stayed in the territory of the Offa Parliament. With the assistance of the former Speaker Yaloys, he and Iggy managed the Offa Parliament, which was now renamed Kallia. territory.

In fact, most internal affairs issues are handled by Iggy. Even though Iggy is a mountain demon blacksmith, he originally served as a think tank under Lani.

In any case, it is much better than Blaze who always wants to solve problems with his fists.

As for Servis's true body, Roland kept him with him, and the puppet controlled by the true body was also sent to the territory where Kallia is now.

After the system unlocked the Kaliya Walled City and the royal ruins in front of the walled city, Roland asked Lani if ​​she wanted to summon them, but Lani temporarily refused.She believes that the current capital of the Officine Council is enough to meet her needs, and she used to live in the walled city because she had to avoid the black knife assassins sent by the Double Finger to hunt her down. Now she no longer needs to hide in Tibet.

Lani believed that Kallia Walled City could be placed in a key place like Hyde Fortress and become a large pass that only one man could pass without ten thousand men opening it, instead of turning it into her own residence again.However, she said that the three mage towers at the back of the walled city could be summoned, and there were many books about pyroxene magic in them.

When Lani mentioned these magic books, she thought of Rhea Lucalia Academy and urged Roland to quickly summon her mother who was at the academy.

In this regard, Roland could only say that he would try his best. Judging from the units currently unlocked by the system, it is very likely that Latarn's army will be unlocked next. It is not certain when [Queen of the Moon] Lenara will be summoned.

What if all three of her children must be summoned to unlock it?

At this time, the conference hall was quiet. The envoy from the Charles Empire looked at the expressionless Roland anxiously, and was still enduring the cannibalistic gaze of Marchit next to him. He was really under great mental pressure.

Roland read the letter written by the Emperor of Judah in his hand, put it down, and nodded to the messenger: "I already know the request of the Emperor of Judah. ​​You go down first and follow the guards at the door to the embassy to rest. I will give it to you tomorrow. reply."

Upon hearing this, the envoy quickly knelt down and said, "Master Roland, please understand the Emperor of Judah. ​​Since the signing of the treaty, the Emperor of Judah has never ordered any general to send troops to attack your country. These are villains' tricks. Please be discerning."

"Take it down." Roland did not respond directly, but called to the knight Grek at the door to help the messenger up and take him away.

After the envoy went out and the door of the conference hall was closed, Roland took a breath.

He looked at the people in the conference hall and said slowly: "The Emperor of Judah wrote a letter and told me that what those legions did had nothing to do with him. But he is willing to cede two cities to us as compensation. We only need to send troops to garrison. alright."

After listening, Malkit showed a disdainful expression on his face: "They are treating us as fools."

Roland also sneered: "This Judas calculation is quite loud. Not to mention that these two cities are located in the south of the Charles Empire and are far away from our territory. I have received intelligence that there is a rebellion in the south. "

Chapter 19: I have figured out your thoughts

The news of the rebellion in the southern part of the Charles Empire came from the subordinates trained by Malkit. At first, Roland and Malkit didn't believe it, thinking that it was a trap information forged by the Charles Empire.

Because this is too much of a coincidence. Your Charles Empire just sent three legions to slap my Golden Federation a few times. Why did you slap yourself before I even started to fight back?

That's not quite right, is it?

Roland felt that it was too obvious that you were deliberately tempting me to send troops to you.

But as intelligence continued to come in, Roland and Marchit became convinced that a rebellion had really occurred in the southern part of Charles's empire, and it was not a general-scale rebellion.

In the name of "returning imperial power to the blood of the late emperor," this group of rebels claimed that the Emperor of Judah of the Charles Empire was a dove occupying a magpie's nest and occupied the throne that should have belonged to someone else.

In fact, every country in Salid Continent knows how you got the seat under Emperor Judah's butt. Originally, this statement was nothing.

But what they never expected was that this group of rebels actually elected a man who claimed to be "Dolanir", which made various countries discover that this group of rebels seemed to be serious and they really planned to overthrow Judah. The emperor's rule established the bloodline of the former emperor as king again.

You must know that no one in the Charles Empire dared to call the surname "Dolan" because this was the name of the previous royal family.

Naturally, the Emperor of Judah also told the world that the emperor supported by the enemy was a "false emperor" and was not a descendant of the Dolan royal family at all.But unfortunately, all the dragon knights in the Charles Empire invariably stayed away from the front line where the Judah Emperor's army and the rebel army were fighting, and came to station at various borders, and there was no Dragon Island that should have unconditionally supported the Judah Emperor. make any reaction.

In the eyes of various countries, this behavior of your Dragon Island is worth pondering.

At least the attitude of Dragon Island allows other countries that are preparing to watch the show or take action to understand one truth: that is, regardless of whether the emperor supported by the rebels really has the blood of the "Dolan royal family", Dragon Island Will not take sides.

For a while, ambitious countries were ready to tear off a piece of delicious meat from Charles's empire.

But no one dares to stand out, because those dragon knights hovering in the air on the border of Charles' empire are no joke.

So everyone set their sights on the Holy Empire of France and the Golden Federation, which had just attacked and occupied the Lower Austrian Parliament, to see what actions they would take before making a decision.

If Roland knew that these opportunistic countries actually compared the Golden Federation with the Holy Empire of France, he would probably be a little surprised.

Although the current territory of the Golden Federation is not half as large as the Charles Empire or the Holy Empire of France, its ability to defeat the Austrian Parliament at the speed of light in just one month still makes various countries in the Sarid continent recognize gold. The Federation was the third largest country after the Empire of Charles and the Holy Empire of France.

However, to the disappointment of these countries, there was no movement from either the Holy Empire of France or the Golden Federation.

There was no movement on Roland's side because a lot of time was wasted on confirming the authenticity of the intelligence, digesting the occupied territory of the Austrian Law Council, and conducting targeted training for the local soldiers he was currently recruiting.

When it comes to Roland's side digesting the territory of the Offician Council, it is not smooth sailing. Although most of the small countries and large landowners affiliated with the Offician Council's territory have naturally surrendered with the help of Alois, there are still a small number of people who are unwilling to do so. Surrendered.

Without exception, these people who were unwilling to surrender had long been secretly flirting with other countries. Now after the surrender of the Austrian Parliament, they took advantage of the situation to declare their separation and then joined other countries.

But soon they found something embarrassing was coming.

After these tributary countries rebuffed the demands of the Golden Federation with a strong attitude and announced that they would join such-and-such country, XX country did not issue an official response in the same way. Instead, it chose to play dead and unilaterally shut down its economy with these tributary countries. Coming and going.

The intelligence department and the king of this country have just confirmed that a god has appeared within the Golden Federation, but you directly claim that the country where the god is located is my vassal state?

Even if the national power gap between my country and the Offa Council is not that big, you can't be so harmful when you are joking.

Scared, scared, slipped away.

These subordinate countries were also dumbfounded. They originally thought that they could hug another thigh that could bring them more benefits and become the thicker leg hair on their thighs.But they never expected that they would just bear the pain and pluck out the leg hair.

In fact, if Lani had not been summoned, once these subordinate countries declared themselves members of this country, they would indeed greatly increase the country's national power.

But it was a pity that Lani came over and let the countries with a little wink know that she was not a god that was easy to talk to. He really had to spit out the roast duck that was in his mouth, otherwise he would become a roast duck himself.

All the envoys jointly sent by the subject countries were shut up. The envoys who used to receive them with smiling faces now drove them away with cold expressions like dead mothers.

What are the promised conditions, what are the preferential treatment after joining our country, what are the mutual benefits, I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with you, I'm really not familiar with you, I don't know you.You are stupid and don't take me with you.

As a result, the client states that rejected the Golden Federation's first friendly talks became ants on the hot pot, but soon all the ants on the hot pot turned into dead ants.

Alois just sneered when he knew the inner thoughts of these rejected vassals, but just when he was about to deal with these vassals personally, Iggy and Blaze stopped him at the same time.

"Since they have rejected Her Highness Lani's friendly invitation, they must know how sharp the fangs they will face if they refuse." Blaze said with a dangerous expression.

Iggy was also rare and did not oppose Blazer's views. He said to Yaloys: "Your mind control can certainly re-naturalize these subject countries that have rejected our invitation, but other countries don't know it, so... We have to use our own methods to solve it. After rejecting the bouquet of peace, all we bring to them is a bloody sword."

So the top leaders of these affiliated countries faced their own nightmare.

The Kalia knights Rasmus and Chukurein, just two knights, completely purged from top to bottom those who rejected the domestic claims.The blue and silver armor on their bodies and the blue sword light that shot straight into the sky became the nightmare of many people. The king who was subsequently supported will always live in the nightmare of the Carian Knights.

On the other side, the main reason why there is no movement in the Holy Empire of France is that it is now the early spring, and the Chaos Familia in the north have begun to attack the human defense line blocked by the Holy Pope State one after another.The Holy Empire of France must send its own troops to help stabilize the front. Before the attack of the Chaos Familia is over, Emperor Latour really cannot spare the energy to pay attention to things in the south.

But just because Emperor Latour didn't have the energy to pay attention didn't mean that others in the Holy Empire of France didn't.

After the eldest prince Albert learned that Cecilia had chosen to follow the army going north to support the Holy Pope State, he became more determined to go to the Charles Empire to cause trouble.

He didn't dare to bet on whether his half-sister would do something big in the north. His father, Latour, was obviously not the kind of emperor who followed the old rules.You must know that Emperor Latour himself ascended to the throne of the Holy Empire of France by stepping on the blood of his brothers and sisters. There is no saying that as the eldest prince, he must be the next generation emperor.

On the other side, the Emperor of Judah looked convinced that the Golden Federation would definitely send troops in his palace, which made the veteran Heywood who was also in the palace a little confused.

"Your Majesty, why are you so sure that Roland will send troops to attack the rebels?" Heywood asked puzzledly: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that all the cities you promised to cede to your Majesty are in the south, and you just want to use the Golden Federation as a gun. .”

Emperor Judah sneered: "Of course he can see it, but there is one piece of information I gave Roland that he can't refuse."

He said: "At the end of the letter, I told him that the man behind the rebels was Lu Yi, and told him the hideout where Lu Yi might be."

At the same time, in Stonewell City.

Roland also sneered and said: "This Judas plan is quite loud...but I admit that the information he finally provided made my heart move."

Lani glanced at the letter briefly and spoke slowly: "It's really irresistible. After all, the woman who betrayed my king is there. Roland, Kallia will send soldiers to join you at any time to eliminate the traitors."

Roland smiled and nodded at Lani, but rejected her proposal: "Currently, Kalia still needs to completely take over the Offician Council, so there is no need to be too anxious. And I believe that based on my understanding of the woman Lu Yi, she will definitely not It would be so easy to expose ourselves. If we rush to the southern part of the Charles Empire for an expedition, not only will there be pressure on food supplies, but the battle line will also be stretched extremely wide."

"Once our front is widened, it will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it." Roland said: "If Lu Yi had not come this time to attack our Golden Federation under the pretext of aiding the Austrian Parliament, I might not have guessed. The other party’s intention. But now that she has done so, her intention has been exposed.”

Malkit narrowed her eyes and thought, and asked curiously: "Roland, what does this woman named Lu Yi want?"

"Money, more money, and making more money after using money to gain power." Roland replied firmly.

Others showed puzzled expressions. Everyone present was either a fierce warrior or a smart wise man. Naturally, they could not understand what a capitalist wanted most in a short period of time.

Roland cleared his throat and said, "Let's think about it carefully. Doesn't she know that we don't know who is behind the attack on Puling City? Even if we can't guess, the Emperor of Judah will tell us in order to clear up the relationship. .Then what we have to think about is why Lu Yi sent troops to attack Pulin City."

"It's to divert trouble eastward and bring us into conflict with the Charles Empire." Malkit said immediately: "Even if we know in our hearts that the attacking army is not the Emperor of Judah, those friends, lovers, and relatives who were killed by the soldiers of the Charles Empire Ordinary people with loved ones don't think that way. They just know that these executioners are from the Charles Empire, and their anger will be vented on anyone associated with the Charles Empire."

Roland nodded, then turned to look at the big tree guard 'Fernandi' and the red lion knight 'Oga' who were sitting on the other side and were responsible for the management of the army, and asked: "Are the soldiers very excited recently? ?Especially soldiers from the areas around Pulin City."

Fernandi and Oga looked at each other, and the former answered Roland's question: "You are right, Lord Roland. But generally speaking, the soldiers' emotions can be calmed down, and you have the foresight to install them in the army. The psychological counselor prevented the conflicts among the soldiers from spreading."

Malkit was a little surprised: "What's going on with the conflict between the soldiers?"

Roland said: "This is normal, because the origins and composition of the soldiers we recruited from the locals are very complex. Many soldiers lived in the Charles Empire before coming to the Golden Federation. When Pulin City appeared After being attacked, there are always some people who need a reason to vent, and those soldiers who came from Charles's empire will naturally become the targets of these people."

Then Roland looked at Marchit and comforted: "But don't worry, I have foreseen this happening a long time ago, and arranged relevant psychological counselors in the team to let these soldiers know who to vent to. My own anger.”

He coughed lightly and said: "So you should also understand that it is a definite fact that we declare war on the Charles Empire, it is just a matter of time. So it is still the same problem, doesn't Lu Yi know? Of course she knows, because this That’s what she wants: to disrupt Charles’ empire.”

Lani blinked: "But is there any benefit to her from messing up Charles' empire? I remember she is a businessman. Isn't a war-torn country very dangerous for businessmen?"

Roland shrugged: "This is indeed the case for ordinary merchants, but the problem is precisely that Lu Yi is not an ordinary merchant, and the things she can sell are not what ordinary merchants can get. Lani, think about it. If a war breaks out, what will be the hottest commodity?”

Lani quickly understood what Roland meant: "You mean, she wants to sell arms like weapons and armor?"

Roland nodded: "Yes, and I think it's more than that. It's very likely that she will also provide war mercenaries to both sides of the war, and the one with the highest price will get it. It is very likely that she is also in contact with people from other countries, such as Talk about the Holy Empire of France. It’s hard to tell what kind of deals she has made with some non-human races.”

#家地 Twenty Zhang: Face to face with the mother of truth

"So the more chaotic the Sarid continent is, the more Lu Yi can do to sell her products." Roland said and shrugged: "Maybe the only thing that caught Lu Yi off guard was that we occupied the Austrian Parliament too quickly. Soon, some of Lu Yi’s methods may have to be used in advance.”

He took a breath and said: "So it is not just the Charles Empire that Lu Yi wants to disrupt. She wants to plunge more countries into war. If we rush to send troops now, we will definitely be attacked by people who don't know where they come from. Enemy attack. What she is most afraid of now is me and the Golden Federation behind me, so there must be some conspiracy waiting for me."

Lani asked softly: "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to continue to watch the civil strife in Charles' empire until one side is eliminated?"

Roland said: "Of course not. Judah ceded those two cities to me, so I have no reason not to accept them."

Malkit frowned: "But Lord Roland, didn't you just say that it's best not to use troops easily?"

Roland smiled and said: "Of course I will not use the army. Lani, Malkit, I think our thinking was somewhat restricted before. Before, we used the enemy's strength as a reference for the soldiers at the border, so we You will feel that the number of soldiers is very tight. But actually, how do you think the soldiers of most countries in the world compare with the soldiers of our monarchy?"

A confident expression appeared on Malkit's face: "Of course the soldiers of the Royal Army are ten times stronger than them."

Roland said: "Then let me change the comparison. How do you think we compare with other countries in terms of high-end combat power?"

Greg, who had been silent, spoke up at this time, because he had a more detailed understanding of the combat power of this world after defeating the gray elves' biggest enemy: "The limit that mortals can reach in this world is called A 'legendary' strong man, and the strength of this kind of strong man is only equivalent to that of the Homeless Knight under the Storm King. But strong men above that are very rare. However, there are many in our Golden Federation who are even better than the Homeless Knight. A mighty warrior."

Roland agreed: "So we might as well open our minds. We don't need to send out a large army. We only need to send a small number of elite strong men to go to the two cities mentioned by Judah, just like we attacked the cities of the Offa Council."

Malkit understood what Roland meant: "You mean to send a small group of elite troops that are difficult for the enemy to detect, and then occupy the next city. You will set up a blessing teleportation point to teleport our soldiers who have been prepared in the city. past?"

Roland nodded: "Yes, because the blessing teleportation point must be teleported one by one, it limits the transmission speed of our troops. But now that Alois has surrendered to us, we have obtained the space teleportation technology of the Austrian Council. , this tactic is completely feasible in theory.”

To put it simply, what Roland has to do is to send a detective (machine) to the southern part of the Charles Empire where there is rebellion, light up a crystal, and then let the sacred stars collectively jump over (heavy fog).

Roland had asked Alois before why there were space spells for teleporting large numbers of people in this world, but not many countries used them in actual combat. Even the Arcane Council, which was extremely skilled in the use of space teleportation, did not use it as its main troop carrier. Means, this made him very curious.

Alois' explanation answered Roland's doubts.

In addition to the high consumption required for large-scale space transmission, more importantly, this kind of simultaneous space transmission with a large number of people is not stable, just like the number of passengers on a ship is limited.Moreover, the Ether Sea is a very dangerous alien space. Anyone who enters it will be swept away by the undercurrent within it to an unknown place if they are not careful.

Alois said that no one who disappeared in the space turbulence of the ether sea could return to the material world anyway, not even the legendary archmage who specialized in space spells.

In fact, in the history of the Arcane Council, [-]% of those who got lost in the etheric sea were these space mages. The saying "those who drown are those who can swim" is very applicable.

This is why even wealthy mages in the Arcane Council can obtain personal teleportation scrolls to save their lives, but rarely teleport armies.

The smaller the number of people, the higher the stability of space transmission.

After joining the Golden Federation, Alois learned about the existence of the Blessing Teleportation Point. With Roland's permission, he studied it. What he was able to determine was that the greatest function of the Blessing Teleportation Point was to stabilize transmission and ensure that every The person being teleported will never be washed away by the turbulent flow of space.

The source of this protection mechanism is the golden tree that grew into a towering tree in the etheric sea. It cares for every child who uses the blessing teleportation point like a gentle mother, causing space turbulence and other The danger is shielded from the transmission channel.

Then Roland slapped his head and asked Alois if he could combine the group teleportation technology of the Alfa Council with the blessing teleportation point to create a more stable large-scale teleportation technology.

The answer given by Yaloys is certainly feasible, but there are two drawbacks to this technology.
