Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Gideon Ofnir was even more confused. He asked subconsciously: "Have you seen the faded one riding the spiritual horse?"

"No, the powerful Faded One seemed to have disappeared without a trace like Moren City and Hyde Fortress." Henriquez shook his head.

Gideon Ovnir suddenly raised his head from the stack of books after hearing what Henryx said. The candle was also knocked over by him, and the precious books were licked by the flames.

[Sir Baizhi] suddenly heard the whimsical words that the Faded One said to him before, and his brain understood a truth that made him very scared and excited at the same time, Gideon Ofnir His body trembled, and finally turned into a sigh: "Someone actually tried to break this long-standing cycle of reincarnation."

Now that he has guessed the truth of the matter, the next step is to verify his guess.

[Sir Momochi] condensed ice-attributed ether in his hand and froze the collapsed candle lamp and two or three lit books around it, extinguishing the weak flame.He ordered the two followers around him: "Enxia, ​​I need you to go to Stonewell City to explore the situation in the city. Is there something missing like Moren City and Hyde Fortress? But you have to Be careful of the evil omen demon 'Malkit', I have always thought that this person may have an ulterior identity, so don't conflict with him head-on."

Enxia still looked speechless. He nodded and immediately set off from the bookstore and rushed to Stonewell City, which was usually covered by wind gauze.

"Henryquez, your task of being an undercover agent at the Volcano Residence is temporarily put aside. You go to the ruins of Malika's Third Church to find a faded man named Al Ray, who is also a follower who serves me. Together, you will go from Head to Galede to investigate whether there are any missing buildings there.”

(Al Ray, a follower of Sir Bai Zhi, guest appearance by the book friend [Genius Guy Does Not Eat])

Henriquez also nodded and immediately retreated from Momochi's house.

After doing all this, Baizhi walked out of the study room where he had been staying and came to the spacious round table hall. The golden light of the Great Blessing shone equally on everything in the hall.

"How come the fanatical believer of the Golden Law and the magician who likes to study the dead are missing?" After Bai Zhi walked around, he found that there was only one cleric prayer teacher left near the originally crowded round table. Colin and Diallos, a young nobleman who had never been on the battlefield, couldn't help asking curiously.

Dialos didn't dare to look over because of Momochi's majestic aura. Colin just said politely: "I haven't seen them in a long time." After that, he could no longer give any useful information.

[Sir Momochi] came to the other side of the round table hall, which he rarely went to, and found that the despicable hybrid was still banging the weapon tirelessly, but found [Death Sleep Girl] Feiya in the other room. Her bed no longer coaxes those faded ones who first enter the Hall of the Round Table.

"You blacksmith bastard, do you know where the dead girl in the next room is?" Momochi asked.

[Blacksmith] Xiugu stopped what he was doing, glanced at [Sir Bai Zhi] indifferently, and then continued to bang the sword on the anvil: "I have been huddled here, I don't know what you mean by death sleep Where did the girl go? But I also have a question to ask you, Lord Momochi, who claims to know everything about the border. Have you ever seen a faded person riding a spiritual horse? I really don’t think I have seen him in a long time. "

"No, and as a hybrid, it's best for you to have a relationship with the faded ones. This is my advice to you." Momochi shook his head and returned to the study.

Xiu Gu sighed slightly, and all he could think of was the face of the faded one who smiled every time he found a new strengthened weapon.

As he swung the hammer and struck the weapon, he pondered in his heart: "Lord Roland, have I successfully helped you build a god-killing weapon..."

Chapter 71:New mission

A few days later, Moen City.

An envoy from the Holy Empire of France arrived at Morne City.

Horse hooves trampled on the blue slate, followed by boots walking neatly, and finally the wheels turned slowly, and the convoy of residents on both sides of the road came to cast their vote.

There is a tall and mighty knight on the white horse of the divine horse. He is wearing silver armor, tattooed with angels' holy glory, and holding a mission flag.

Behind the knight in shining armor were two rows of imperial elite warriors. These silent warriors glared fiercely at the crowd of people who were surrounding them. They were surrounded by a magnificent carriage pulled by four horses.

At the end of the convoy were eight Pegasus knights from the Holy Empire of France. The Pegasus obediently restrained their dual-wielding, and the girls on horseback suppressed their inner curiosity and followed the team intently.

The eyes of the foreign merchants and mercenaries flickered, and they were wondering in their hearts what the purpose of the mission from the Holy Empire of France came to the Golden Dynasty.The merchants were wondering whether they should sell off any accumulated goods, while the mercenaries were wondering whether they would have more opportunities to obtain war commissions.

"Good morning, all guests who have come from afar. I, Kenneth Hyde, am the political officer of the Golden Dynasty. Lord Roland has been waiting for His Excellency Evan Jielin for a long time, and is currently waiting for your arrival in the main hall of the city with other dignitaries. I We have also arranged accommodation rooms for other personnel, please go with the officials beside me." Kenneth Hyde stood in front of the knight in silver armor with a calm expression and said loudly to the big man on the carriage.

Evan Jielin, the fifth princess under the Emperor of the Holy Empire of France, often represented the Emperor on missions to various countries in the Sarid continent to convey the Emperor's will.It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the emperor's spokesperson in a sense.

The knight in shining armor stopped. He was not worried about hitting Kenneth Hyde, but the knight in shining armor behind Kenneth Hyde made him stop thinking about bumping into him intentionally.

If he takes one step forward, the other party will attack without hesitation, and he will die.The knight in shining armor tightened the reins, then gave up the idea of ​​continuing to move forward, and stretched out his other hand to signal the convoy to stop.After all, he and others are not here to cause trouble. It is too stupid to provoke the other party's nerves.

Fernandi, the guard of the big tree, looked indifferently at this group of imperial envoys who seemed to be showing off their power in the city of Morn. After riding on the war horse, he was seven meters tall, which was enough for him to look down on these people.

"You should go and rest as Administrative Officer Kenneth said." A majestic female voice came from the carriage.

The knight in shining armor who led the delegation immediately got off his horse and knelt down on one knee towards the carriage: "Yes, Your Highness Evan Jielin."

"Everyone, please." A young male aristocrat next to Kenneth Hyde politely guided the entourage, but an insignificant episode still occurred.

The eight Pegasus knights at the end of the team did not seem to be worried about storing their Pegasus in the arranged accommodation. After learning about it, the noble man said gently: "Please rest assured, we know that Pegasus is different from other ordinary war horses, so Both edible private chats and drinking water sources like to be specially prepared.”

Then he patiently told these girls about his experience in taking care of Pegasus, which made them feel relieved.

"But how do you know such detailed care methods?" A girl couldn't help but asked curiously.

The powerful man glanced at the young girl in uniform with a strange look. He did not answer directly, but said perfunctorily: "You will naturally know this question when you arrive at your residence, beautiful lady."

On the other side, the knight in shining armor who did not follow his entourage to the accommodation and the carriage carrying Evan Jielin arrived outside the city lord's palace. Evan Jielin walked out of the carriage, and the knight in shining armor dismounted and followed behind.

Her appearance looks somewhat similar to her father, with short silver-white hair and red eyes, and the heroic look between her brows makes her look like a handsome man. However, the throat without Adam's apple and the exquisite undulating figure symbolize Evanjie. Lin's identity as a woman.

Somewhat poor place.This is the first impression the Fifth Princess has of the Golden Dynasty.

After Evan Jielin got off the carriage, she immediately opened a white ceremonial fan and covered most of her face, leaving only her eyes for inspection.

She has a habit of inferring a person's personality based on where they live, which will allow her to take the initiative in subsequent conversations.

However, the unadorned appearance of the city lord's palace made Evan Jielin a little unsure about Roland's character. She didn't know whether he was too poor or just pretending to be noble.Because she has seen many nobles who like to show themselves as hard-working and frugal in front of others. In fact, they are very picky about food and drink at home, and even a small piece of furniture is something that ordinary people will never be able to afford.

Also take another look at the decoration inside the house.Evan Jielin thought to herself that she walked into the city lord's palace under the guidance of Kenneth Hyde without stopping too much at the door.

However, Evan Jielin's method of figuring out people's personalities is destined to be ineffective in Roland's case.

Because the city lord's mansion in Moen City was not arranged by him at all, but by Edgar.Edgar is also a knight who is strict with himself and dedicated to his duties, a man who values ​​work more than family, so the layout of his city lord's mansion is also very simple and boring.

He has a very direct and clear character. It seems that it is best not to use roundabout ways when talking to Roland.Evan Jielin thought based on what she had observed during the journey.

"Welcome, Ms. Evangelion Latour, I am the current lord of the Golden Dynasty, Roland."

The door to the city lord's hall was opened by Knight Commander Grek. Roland stood up from his seat and smiled politely at the silver-short-haired woman at the door.

Her Royal Highness followed the sound, and there were only three people in the conference room: Roland, Melina and Ikosela.

Evan Jielin glanced at the two women behind Roland calmly, then she put down the fan, revealing her half-hidden beauty, and raised the corner of her mouth with a smile: "Father also asked me to say hello to you. , the great and benevolent Lord Roland. At the same time, he asked me to deeply apologize to you for Cecilia's unauthorized actions, hoping that it will not affect the friendship between our two countries."

Roland was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on the surface.

He didn't think that an empire as huge as the Holy Empire of France would send a princess to apologize to him in a low voice. Feiya had also mentioned in her letter before that this mission had another purpose.Therefore, Roland prefers that the other party wants something from him, so he made such a gesture.

"Concerning the Holy Wings Legion, your brother, His Highness Noel, has already given us enough compensation." Roland smiled and stretched out his hand to signal the other party to take a seat.

"Sorry, only this lady can go in." Knight Grek at the door stretched out his hand to stop the knight in shining armor who wanted to go in together. The knight in shining armor frowned and pushed the opponent, but did not push, so the two sides faced off at the door.

Seeing this scene, Evan Jielin turned around and said, "It doesn't matter, Lord Roland and the others are not the kind of villains who like to play tricks. Just wait at the door."

"But Your Highness, I'm worried..." The knight in shining armor hesitated to speak, but when he saw Evan Jielin's slightly frowned brow, he clasped his fists in a salute and took a step back. Then Knight Commander Greg closed the door of the conference room.

At this time, Evan Jielin apologized to Roland: "I made you laugh, Lord Roland, I hope you don't mind."

Roland shook his head slightly: "My subordinates are worried that you are in danger, and I understand it very well."

Then, just when Evan Jielin was still about to say a few polite words, Roland asked straight to the point: "Your Royal Highness, there is no need for pretentious politeness. Let's talk about what we have to say. Why did the Holy Empire of France send you here this time? What's the purpose? I don't believe it's just to take back the bodies of the soldiers of the Holy Wings Legion. Although it's rude to say this, I don't think the people of the Holy Wings Legion are worthy of the empire sending a princess as an envoy to a small country. "

After hearing these words, Evan Jielin paused for a moment, and then the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by an emperor-like indifference: "That's fine, Mr. Roland, talking to someone who understands saves time and effort."

The implication is that the current emperor of the Holy Empire of France did not take the annihilation of the Holy Wings Legion seriously, and certainly did not take Roland's Golden Dynasty seriously.

"My father requires you to fulfill the agreement of the alliance and send troops to attack the Puling Mountain City of the Charles Empire." Evan Jielin said forcefully in an irrefutable tone: "You are short of arrows, the empire can provide them; you are short of food, the empire can provide them. It can also be provided; but Pulin City must be captured within a month. Otherwise, the Latour family will make you understand that the benefits of the empire are not so easy to obtain."

Roland was not frightened by Evan Jielin's tone, but took the map on the side and found the location of Pulin City.

He discovered that Pulin City was ten days' land walk away from Leiden City and was similar in size to Leiden City. However, Roland knew that this city was well connected in all directions and was one of the transportation hub towns in Charles' empire.For example, from the Leiden River outside Leiden City, you can quickly go to Pring City by waterway, and then pass through Pring City to other cities in Charles's empire.

If this city is captured, there will be a big problem with the material turnover in the western territories of Charles' empire.But in such an important city, the enemy is not stupid, so why don't they send heavy troops to handle it?

Roland frowned. The number of soldiers under his command, including those recruited from the mainland, had just exceeded the 6000 mark.

Moreover, Puring City is not like Leiden City, which was captured by Roland with more than 400 King Grek's troops in a miracle due to the interference of undead natural disasters.

If there were not Faulkner's undead in Leiden City at that time, Roland would have turned around and left without any hesitation the moment he saw Wylis' army.

To put it simply, without those undead, Roland would never have agreed to send troops to Leiden City.

There will be no surprises in Pulin City this time. Even if Roland brings all 6000 soldiers there, they will not be able to make any waves in a siege of this level.

The soldiers under his command are powerful in combat, but they do not mean they are immortal. Roland has always kept this truth in mind.

"Your Highness, this request seems a bit excessive." Roland raised his head from the map and said seriously to Evan Jielin: "The geographical location of Pulin City is very important to the Charles Empire, and it must be heavily guarded. Maybe your My father heard from others that the soldiers of my Golden Dynasty can fight ten or even a hundred, but this does not mean that they are immortal. I cannot agree to the request of the Holy Empire of France to attack this time. This is to die. If If you list the Golden Dynasty as a hostile target for this reason, I will also be willing to accompany you through two moves."

Evan Jielin shook her head slightly: "How could my father let his allies die? You may have misunderstood me, Mr. Roland. The 'you' I said did not refer to the Golden Dynasty alone, but to France and France." Attack together with other allies of the Holy Empire."

"Other allies? Are you saying that the Holy Empire of France will form an alliance to attack the Charles Empire?" Roland's eyes widened slightly after hearing the news.

Evan Jielin nodded and took out an alliance contract carefully written with magic inscriptions from the magic ring that could store things. Roland saw the names of many countries with just a cursory glance.

The fifth princess handed the contract to Roland and said, "I personally hope that Mr. Roland will agree to this invitation, because the geographical location of Moren City is also very special. I think you also know this, Mr. Roland."

Of course Roland knew that Dogu City, the predecessor of Morn City, was one of the border cities connecting the Charles Empire to the outside world.

The city lord's hall fell into silence. Evan Jielin did not rush to urge her, but closed her eyes and waited for Roland's answer.

[At this time it is my turn to appear. ] The system, which had not spoken for a long time, said in Roland's mind.

Without waiting for Roland's reply, the system issued a series of tasks.

[Mission: Siege of Pulin City]

[Mission 3: Successfully capture Pulin City, mission reward: Stonewell City (8/[-]), elite unit Lion Guard unlocked. 】

[Mission 2 (optional): Rescue the allies in crisis. Mission reward: Stonewell City (8/[-]) and the basic unit Storm Eagle unlocked. 】

[Mission [-] (optional): Perform the most brilliantly among all the allies in the siege of Pulin City. Mission reward: "Golden King" Greg (can be summoned). 】

[Mission 100000 (optional): Capture Pulin City before the Holy Empire of France sends troops to support. Mission reward: warrior Neferi Lu (can be summoned), [-] ether points. 】

[Another note: After Stonewell City is summoned, it will be automatically unlocked and Nimgofu Arena can be summoned. 】

Looking at the updated mission log and the generous mission rewards in his mind, Roland subconsciously held his breath.

Chapter 72: Expedition List

With the task of system update, Roland decided to participate in this alliance operation.

But Roland did not agree directly, but continued to choose to talk to Evan Jielin.

"It sounds like I have no room for rejection." Roland shrugged: "I hope you can satisfy my curiosity, Ms. Evanjielin. Why did the Holy Empire of France suddenly summon the Allies to attack together? We all know it. The allies of the Holy Empire of France occupy most of the countries in the Salud continent, and the Charles Empire also has its own vassal states. Once a war of this level begins, it will cause turmoil in the Salud continent, and the flames of war will Burning everywhere. If you are not careful, the Holy Empire of France will be severely damaged. Have you considered this?"

Roland did not point out to the Princess the issue of how many lives would be lost in the war, because he knew that the other party did not care, and bringing it up was tantamount to talking to an ox.

Evan Jielin opened her eyes and stared at Roland with her red eyes: "The Holy Empire of France will not let the war get to that point. It will resolve the dispute with the Charles Empire before the spring of next year. And if it really comes to that point, At this stage, it is a small country like yours that should think about how to survive in troubled times. Now, it is time for you to give me an answer, Mr. Roland."

"The Golden Dynasty will send out 2000 soldiers as agreed, and also ask the Holy Empire of France to prepare corresponding food and grass. What we lack is not weapons and equipment, but food that can make people full and strong enough to fight." Roland After confirming that there was no word game trap in the alliance agreement, he took out pen and ink and signed his name neatly, and then handed his hands back to Evan Jielin.

Evan Jielin nodded slightly: "Food? It's enough rations for 2000 soldiers for a month. The empire will not treat its allies badly."

In her opinion, Roland only asked for food and grass, which was already very little compared to the allies who asked for all kinds of armor and weapons.The empire has been in short supply of everything during the recent war, but there is no shortage of food and grass. A lot of food and grass have accumulated in the granary over the years. It just so happens that this opportunity can be used to clear out those stocks that are about to expire and also make the Golden Dynasty owe a favor.

Just when Evan Jielin thought that so much food and grass was enough to send Roland away, the latter smiled and shook his head.

"No, I'm afraid this amount of food and grass is not enough for our army to eat for a week." Roland continued: "I need to provide enough food and grass for ten thousand people to last for a month."

Evan Jielin's red eyes were stunned at first, and then became angry.But under her restraint, the expression on her face did not change.However, Her Royal Highness's tone became colder and she said: "You'd better give me a reasonable reason to convince me, otherwise I will think you are joking, Mr. Roland. Even if you let 2000 pigs go free It won’t consume so much food and grass if you eat it.”

But the tauren warriors and mountain monster knights I want to send are really more edible than pigs!Not to mention the flying dragon Akil, who has been eating well recently and obviously looks fatter.Roland complained in his heart, and he could only complain like this in his heart.

"I think Her Royal Highness should know that there is a giant knight named 'Mountain Monster' in the Golden Dynasty, right?" Roland signaled Evan Jielin not to be excited, and explained why he wanted so much food and grass: "And not long ago, the Bloodhoof clan among the orcs After joining the Golden Dynasty, I think you should be aware of the appetite of these tauren, Your Excellency Evan Jielin, they can eat much more than humans."

"I also heard this matter reported by my subordinates. I didn't expect that you actually paid a group of orcs as slaves." Evan Jielin frowned and said, "I remind you from the standpoint of being a human being. It's best to Don't trust these orcs, they are ignorant, stupid, cruel and ugly. If you just use sweet words to trick them into doing things for you, that's fine. But if you dare to trust them, believe me, Lord Roland, you will be tragically betrayed."

Roland shrugged: "I can bear their betrayal, so you don't need to worry about it, Your Highness Evan Jielin."

"For being able to send those giant mountain monsters to attack Pulin City, I appreciate that you are so dedicated to the cause of the Holy Empire of France." Seeing that Roland didn't care about her well-intentioned reminder, Evan Jielin changed her mind. topic.

She first praised Roland, and then changed the subject: "But those mountain monsters and orcs alone are not enough to eat so much food. Mr. Roland, you should understand what I want to ask."

Roland nodded: "Yes, that flying dragon is also included in the siege force. I believe in the principle of doing as much work as you pay, so it is reasonable to ask the empire for more food and grass, isn't it?"

There was a look of satisfaction in Evan Jielin's eyes. In her opinion, the soldiers of the vassal country were actually used to make up the numbers, and their main function was to consume the enemy's defense power.At that time, the Holy Empire of France will have to send its main force to capture Pulin City.

But it would be different if there was a dragon that could fly freely in the air. The pressure to attack Pulin City would be greatly reduced, and as far as she understood, this flying dragon could completely crush the giant dragons of the Charles Empire in terms of individual strength.

Evan Jielin originally thought that Roland would not bring the mysterious dragon out in order to protect the Golden Dynasty, but what Roland did was beyond her expectation.

"Of course, Her Royal Highness, please keep this secret from people other than Emperor Latour, especially those vassal countries." Roland said: "I know that many people are interested in the flying dragons of the Golden Dynasty, so they are attacking Puring. I don’t want to be harassed by those short-sighted guys before entering the city. Just because I trust the Holy Empire of France does not mean that I also trust those tributary countries. I think your views on this, Your Highness, should be the same as mine.”

Evan Jielin nodded: "Okay, if you dispatch that flying dragon, I can make the decision for my father. If your Golden Dynasty takes the lead in attacking Puling City, in addition to the 1 people of food and grass you requested, the empire will also receive additional I will give you food and fodder for 3000 people, and the cooperation between our two countries will be further strengthened, not just a simple offensive and defensive alliance."

Roland's face looked a little strange. The words Her Royal Highness said seemed familiar, just like some company CEOs who were trying to make a big deal during their internship before reincarnation.

However, after actually attacking Pulin City and unlocking Stonewell City and the demigod [Golden King] Greg, Roland no longer had to look at other people's faces to act.

Moreover, after this battle, Roland believed that the ether that the golden tree could absorb could also summon Blaze, who had already been unlocked, and that he might even accumulate enough ether without the end of the siege battle.

"Does your Royal Highness have anything else to say?" Roland already had the intention of expelling the guest, but he still said in a very respectful tone: "The empire only gave us one month. Counting the time spent on the road, the actual It’s very urgent, and mobilizing soldiers requires very cumbersome procedures, so I need to discuss the candidates for the expedition with my generals as soon as possible.”
