Wizard From Afar

The Knights of the Royal Sword...or in other words, all the guys in this empire who can walk into the Sky Palace in a big way and face the emperor in the imperial cabinet. There are good and bad, but Loren basically matches All of them have dealt with.

Among them, there are friends, allies, and fellows who are pleasing to the eye and displeasing each other. The only thing to be thankful for is that there are no enemies. Thanks to Charlotte’s flexible diplomatic skills, the powerfully rising Byrne does not. There are no enemies in the empire, which can be said to be extremely lucky.

Boy in the north, Arles in the southwest, Alemans in the northwest, dwarves in the south...Charlotte used a trade caravan to spread her network while playing down Loren’s causes in several wars. The influence of this makes it difficult for most people to feel the changes in Byrne, and it makes the Heavenly Vault and the church even have no excuses for byrne.

It was not until the Byrne bishop dispute that Charlotte revealed her sharp claw and fangs as a Golden Lion.

The separation of the empire and Arles eventually made Arles Duchy had to fall to Byrne and establish an alliance, which formally established Byrne's absolute authority in the south of the empire.

The Erd family, the lord of Arles, which played a decisive role in this process, is strictly speaking the most important ally of the Torino family. The closeness of the relationship between the two parties is directly related to Byrne’s words in the south. Right hook.

Although the other party is a real hooligan, it is precisely because of knowing this that Charlotte is able to lure this guy with a little bit of coercion without any scruples.

But the alliance is one thing, the likes and dislikes are completely another; neither Charlotte nor Loren have a little bit of favor with the Grand Duke of Arles, Nolan Erd.

"It seems that our Duke of Byrne seems a little tired?"

Smiling Nolan Erd, surrounded by the Knights of Arles, rode The horse shook his head and shook his head and approached; but no matter how he shook his head, those wolf-like eyes were always staring at the black hair wizard:

"When I heard that Lothar was raining heavily, Bran When your Highness ordered you to come in half a month, I was quite worried for you-I just experienced the Battle of Lotaire, and the exhausted army will soon march in the heavy rain... …"

"In my opinion, it is no different from asking you to die; but what makes me feel guilty is that I did not stand up and appeal for you at the time, so that your Highness could change his mind. "Although he was apologizing, Nolan Eard's eyes were full of playfulness:

"Because there were a hundred people left in the camp at that time...whether it was Boye’s scimitar girl The Grand Duke, the Albert Master, or the Empire Knight saved by you in the Imperial Capital Defense Battle... They are very quiet, and no one has stood up to protest to your Highness."

"I don’t know how they are. I think, but I think I must apologize to you for this... sincerely."

When the voice fell, Nolan Erd put away his smile and bowed very solemnly to Loren.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Grand Duke Arles, you are so kind."

Nodded, Loren is also very "sincere" slightly smiled.

"No, all this is what it should be." Shaking his head vigorously, Nolan Erde officially looked towards black hair wizard: "Now the whole empire knows, Brandon Desa His Royal Highness Leon is the banner of the empire, and you and Byrne are the pillars of the empire!"

"As long as the Duke of Byrne is there, the empire will have no unwinnable battle. The defense of Golovin has been It is enough to prove that only when the Scarlet Blood Castle and the Sky Vault go hand in hand, the empire...is a powerful and invincible empire!"

Hey praise, let the black hair wizard Behind Knight They are very useful, and their expressions show a bit of goodwill for the Grand Duke of Arles; the female elf Liya on the side looked at the two of them weirdly, confused about why there are idiots who worship this big liar in this world?

Only the Grand Duke of Allermans, Ulrich Wiltz, remained silent and expressionless, with a trace of hidden contempt in his silver-gray pupils.

He remembers clearly that the Grand Duke of Arles in front of him had said to himself "ambitious end" during the Battle of the Highlands, and made no secret of his hostility towards Loren and Byrne .

"Of course, and you...Grand Duke Elman who is always loyal to the Empire and dedicated to his duties!"

lifts the head suddenly, Nolan Erdway smiled looked towards Yuli Wirtz with a cold face, without embarrassment: "If which support army appears on the battlefield is the most reassuring, it must be Elman."

"Bravely The two-handed Swordsman used their blood and bravery to prove to the empire time and again that the sword in their hands is the strongest shield of the empire. It is no exaggeration to say that it is even more reassuring than the shield of Saclan Legion!"

Faced with the compliment of the Grand Duke of Arles, Yuli Wiertz was only indifferent: "You are too praised."

"You are too praised? No... I just regret that we met too late. ——Living in a country full of wicked people like Arles, I always hope that I can know more good people like you and friends." Nolan Erd said sincerely:

"For example... You probably haven't told the esteemed Duke of Byrne our little secrets to each other-I replaced me with Uncle, he had sold me clean, hahahahaha..."

In a quiet atmosphere, Only the Grand Duke of Arles can only hear a sincere and undisguised laugh.

The expression of Yuli Wirtz became a bit ugly.

"Little secret...what little secret?"

The curious female elf suddenly spoke, interrupting his hearty laughter.

"Oh, this is..."

Nolan Erd's eyes lit up, staring at the emerald eyes of the female elf.

In the next second, he moved his gaze to the black hair wizard next to him, showing a suddenly realized expression: "so that's how it is, no wonder the Duke of Byrne willingly shoulders Lothar's war. It seems that it’s not just because of the scenery there."

"It’s because of such a heroic and heroic lady that the Duke will also be heartbroken..."

The voice fell off. In an instant, Loren's expression froze.

Because he has seen a dark figure, whistling and stabbing at the front door of the Grand Duke of Arles!

"Clang——!"

At the moment that everyone hadn’t noticed, the sword in Nolan Erd’s hand was raised at the same time, rushing to block the tip of the spear at the last moment. In front of me.

The shouts of exclamation exploded, and the Arles Knights, whose complexion changed suddenly, drew their swords one after another, and they were about to swarm up.

"Give me all the weapons... Take it back!"

The angry Nolan Erd desperately resisted the force coming from the tip of the gun, still with a hint of playfulness at the corners of his mouth Smile.

The Knights of Arles surrounded by the surrounding sword enters sheathe one after another, but they still watch the female elf's every move vigilantly.

"Sorry, Honorable Lady Lothar." Nolan Erd's mouth raised, and the female elf stared at each other:

"Just kidding, no Any other meaning."

"Really?"

coldly snorted, her eyes narrowed into a slit Liya coldly snorted: "Dare to make this kind of joke next time ', don’t even think it’s so easy to fool it."

"Hey--cang yell!"

The upward spear tip pulled out a string of sparks on the knife, almost at the same time , Grand Duke Arles' right hand, who could no longer hold the handle of the knife, loosened his sword and dropped it to the ground.

The trembling right hand seemed to froze, "hovering" on his chest.

The coldly snorted female elf glanced at the black hair wizard very "inadvertently", her little triumphant expression seemed to tell him something like "Look, I'm restrained enough".

Loren, who can faintly feel Charlotte's gaze behind him, can only force a smile without turning his head.

I really don’t know what to say...

The Grand Duke of Arles on the opposite side has put away his smile, holding his chest with a solemn expression, slightly nodded :

"Dear Byrne, Lothar, and Eleman, and all the lords who fought with the princes; the Prince of East Sackland, the Crown Prince and the sole heir, Brandon De In the name of His Royal Highness Salion, I welcome you all here!"

"Your presence will become a sign, a sign that unites the entire empire—means that we will spare no effort and cooperate with Asia. The Sauer elves start an irreconcilable bloody battle until the last moment!"

The sonorous words and solemn expressions are so different from the Archduke Arles just now, so that the female elves’ faces are full of words. After being confused, I couldn't figure out what kind of guy the Grand Duke of Arles was like for a while.

In contrast, the black hair wizard is much calmer, as if he can understand the other party's changes-pretending to be a basic quality that every rascal and liar must possess.

"In order to welcome you, His Royal Highness has prepared a large number of camps, food, drinking water, and heating fuel, and has divided new camps to house everyone. Every warrior who is willing to fight for the empire will You will be able to get comfortable accommodation, hot food and clean drinks, and have plenty of time for everyone to rest!"

The Grand Duke of Arles, who did not care about the few mocking eyes around him, still shouted solemnly. : "Tonight there will be a grand banquet to welcome you!"

"Cheers, warriors of the Sackland Empire, our victory will be passed down through the ages. The achievements established will be a kindness that future generations will never be able to repay. Long live the empire!"

"Long live the empire————————!!!!!!"

With a burst of enthusiastic cheers, the faces of the three Duchy soldiers who held high the battle flag all showed a color of joy-after successive battles and uninterrupted marches, there is no news that makes them feel more happy than the news of rest and reorganization. NS.

The warriors happily stepped neatly and headed towards the camp area prepared for them under the leadership of the Arles Knights who were in charge of the guide.

"Everyone, the empire needs your help."

Until everyone has gone away, Nolan Erd, whose expression changed again, raised his eyes solemnly and looked towards black hair wizard: "Especially your Duke of Byrne, in a sense, the destiny of the empire is now in your hands!"

"You look like this, what are you doing? ?" Before the black hair wizard could speak, the female elf had already snatched coldly.

Nolan Erde smiled indifferently, and raised his hand to stop Grand Duke Elman who still wanted to say something.

"I know you are not pleasing to my eyes, Lord Loren Torino... In fact, I am the same. The Erde family has never had a slight impression of the arrogant Torino family." Nolan Erde shrugged "But compared to me, you should know our Prince and Crown Prince of East Sackland, His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion."

"You must know, our Royal Highness It’s not a person who can stay sensible all the time and never use his anger—no, it should be just the opposite. He is not concerned about anger almost all the time, and it is precisely because of this that he is so disgusted by the nobles of the Heavenly Vault, because he is too casual. !"

"In all fairness, I actually have a good impression of His Royal Highness Brandon; think about it if a person with supreme power cannot do as one pleases, then what is the meaning of power? If not Use power to accumulate more power, then it is just a tossing person, and endless trouble!"

"For this reason, from start to finish, I am loyal to His Royal Highness Brandon, Dutifully complete every command he gave to me until..."

"Speaking of the point!"

The black hair wizard coldly interrupted.

"...Until not long ago, His Royal Highness asked me to skin the two Azores warriors alive."

Looking at the unchanging gazes of the three, Nolan · Erde laughed at himself: "Of course, just as you thought, I did not hesitate to execute this slightly cruel order without any hesitation."

"But what happened afterwards was just It made me realize that His Royal Highness Brandon did this not to show his authority and revenge, but to do as one pleases.” The tone of the Archduke Arles gradually became solemn:

" Three days ago, an Azorean Elf was spotted by Boe Hussars while crossing the border. After investigation, he was found to be an entourage by the Elf Prince, and he fled here desperately to send information."

"Roderia Azores, he opened the underground tunnel under Eboden and filled it with fuel, ignitor, alchemy bombs, and various terrifying magical things. He prepared to use this as a last resort. , Dragging hundreds of thousands of elves to perish together with the empire army."

"But even so, His Royal Highness still did not change his mind; he even regarded this as an enemy's provocation, and prepared to do it in a few days. The war is officially on."

"Even if... you risk blowing Eboden into the sky."

The heavy tone and the intelligence of the four people surprised the black hair with different expressions. The wizard couldn't help but get serious.

After a while, the female elf couldn't help but speak first: "This may be just a cover, the enemy uses a trick to deceive us so that we dare not attack... There is nothing at worst."

In the face of doubt, Nolan Erdder smiled slightly.

"Yes, what you said is very correct--in fact, I think so too. Even if the bomb is real, 80% of it is a means used by the enemy to threaten, but..." He said Fengyi Turn:

"Can we afford to gamble, Empire...Can we afford to gamble?"

Grand Duke Elman face changed.

"Regardless of whether it is true or not, or everything is just a lie, those who have exhausted all of the Sackland Empire in this war cannot take such a risk—because this is ours. Land, we are not barefoot and afraid of wearing shoes, we have concerns!"

"We...can't afford to gamble."
