Chapter 618

Fort Duncan, commander's lounge.

On the stone wall Candlestick, six thick and thin butter candles illuminate a room of 50 square meters. The exquisitely crafted iron desk precipitates the historical aftertaste of the iron mountain Empire, which is incompatible with the simple style of the lounge. There are no smooth wooden floors, no wall carvings, no exquisite crystal chandeliers, and limestone bricks constitute the most simple tone of the room.

This was originally a room for knights to rest, the lounge of bronze knights.

Duncan fortress has a more luxurious lounge. The monarchs of the Frederick family will live in their special rooms every time they visit Duncan fortress. Today, Emperor Frederick and Archduke Frederick are trapped in Guangming city hundreds of kilometers away by Centaur invaders. Duncan fortress, which guarded the eastern gateway of the Sassanian Empire, welcomed a new commander, Hussein Duke of Barcelona.

More than half of the secular lords of the Sassanian Empire were descendants of the great nobles of the iron mountain empire. Compared with Frederick, they were more willing to recognize the orthodox status of Barcelona. Because no one likes the paladin family to ride on the head of secular lords. Of course, blood is also an extremely important factor. Apart from the blue hair, which symbolizes the ancient blood, the Frederick family only has the top silver blood, and there is no doubt about the noble blood of Barcelona.

The ancient basselius was happy to be called his majesty by Lord Sasan. Hussein is an exception. He is famous for his low-key humility and opposes his Majesty's title. Even if he takes charge of Duncan fortress, he does not live in the special lounge of Frederick's royal family. He chose this ordinary small room as his temporary residence. The iron desk placed in the center of the room only ordered people to travel thousands of miles from the western border of the Empire because he usually used it easily, Move to Fort Duncan in the east of the Empire.

Andrea Wimbledon criticized Hussein. Although his modesty won the friendship of the chief frides and won real benefits for the Western lords, low-key is by no means the style of the iron mountain royal family. The princes of the sassanne empire began to move closer to the Frederick royal family because of some practices of Hussein. This time, 9 of the 11 Royal Highnesses of the Empire and Emperor Frederick were trapped in the pioneering front line, which is the most powerful proof.

In the final analysis, the patriarch of frides is also a TESL. He will only stand on the side of the shining knights. There is always a bottom line for the good will and justice of the patriarch to perselius.

Hussein will not fail to understand this truth, but he still maintains a low-key and modest style at this critical moment and releases the signal of submission to the usurper, which will only frustrate the noble descendants of the iron mountain empire.

Andrea sometimes couldn't help thinking about her loyal Lord, the successor of the iron mountain Empire, Hussein Did Basilius lose his ambition to restore the glory of his ancestors?

After breathing out, Andrea said coldly, "his highness Wimbledon didn't let me participate in the battle of greyhound village. I don't know the specific situation of the war. But his highness Wimbledon declared to me that the vanguard army of gombis will come to Duncan fortress the day after tomorrow to meet his majesty."

Prince Basilius, sitting behind the iron table, pondered for a moment and asked gently, "is the ogre governor killed by his highness Randall in a violent state?"

Andrea picked up her sword long eyebrows and corrected the mistake in Hussein's address. "It's your highness Wimbledon."

Hussein was stunned. He looked up at the countess with amazing beauty. Seeing that she looked very serious, he couldn't help knocking on the table and joked: "if the count of gold eye is his highness Wimbledon, how can you call Wimbledon orthodox?"

Andrea said faintly, "my vein was not the direct descendant of the sword Saint delavin. Since his highness Wimbledon reappears the supreme blood of the sun elf, he is of course Wimbledon orthodoxy."

Hussein said with a smile, "Andrea, you can accept the reality."

"It is also an indisputable fact that your majesty is the direct descendant of Queen Basilius and Prince Wimbledon, with noble golden blood and the successor of the iron mountain empire." Andrea said coldly.

Hussein's smile turned into a bitter smile, shook his head and said, "you're right, but I don't like your Majesty's title, which makes me feel embarrassed... Well, as long as the count is happy, call me whatever you like... Well, his highness Wimbledon killed the seriously injured and violent Ogre Inspector?"

"Yes." Andrea looked a little slower and nodded. A generous and humble Lord made it difficult for her to be angry.

"Do you know what this means? Crush... The strength of his highness Wimbledon completely crush the ogre supervisor of the golden order." Usein said excitedly, "he can crush the ogre supervisor and most golden Orc leaders. With his highness Wimbledon suppressing the eastern defense line, we can kill many people less... Alas, I once doubted his legendary strength, and I was obviously wrong."

Andrea gently pursed her lower lip and asked, "can your majesty kill the murderous ogre inspector?"

"It's different." Hussein smiled, shook his head and said: "Even the two legendary Knights of nahtigal and Neo West can't be as good as the count of golden eyes. They must take people to storm the Greyhound village and face the ogre commander and its Orc slaves. Turnans and testier can ambush the ogre commander alone, but they have to wait patiently for each other to be alone. It's hard to say whether they wait a day or a month."

He paused and asked, "you don't seem very happy?"

The countess's inner worry was written on her exquisite face, frowned and asked, "do you think it's happy? His highness Wimbledon obviously wants to take over the command of Duncan fortress, which is located at the center of the eastern defense line. It has extraordinary political significance and almost symbolizes the imperial capital of the sassanne Empire."

Hussein shrugged his shoulders and joked, "I thought your highness Wimbledon's help would make you admire."

"This joke is not funny!" Andrea fixed her sharp eyes on the blue eyes of Basilius and said coldly, "I have a husband."

"Andrea, no offense." Usein said positively, "but I still want to say that Ike lie is ready to be promoted to the silver rank. You can't drag him all the time. I don't want to see you turn against Ike lie baselius... We have to accept the reality."

Andrea has a husband and heir, but her peerless beauty can't stop her husband from pursuing the way of knight. One day, they must choose to separate, pursue their own partners and spread noble blood like most Silver Knight couples, so as to strengthen the strength of everyone.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about me and Ike lie. Your majesty should first face the reality in front of you." Andrea said unhappily, "the Lords long for basselius to lead them to victory and glory."

"OK." Hussein smiled and nodded, then said: "The reality is that the church was not ready to let go of the Centaur army when it lit the red smoke beacon. The command of the war has always been in the hands of the grand commander of TESL, and the command of the eastern defense line is actually in the hands of the shepherd frides. In this war affecting the whole human country, Duncan fortress is only a fortress of the eastern defense line, which has no political significance... The reality is, I There are only 40000 cavalry in our hands. They come from all the families of the Sassanian empire. The Lords entrust me with the most elite cavalry and never want me to treat them as worthless victims... The reality is that the garrison guarding the eastern defense line is served by the militia of all families and deployed by the commanders of all war zones, but Siegfried Frederick is fully responsible for the garrison... This is Everything was agreed by shepherd Frederick and me in advance. No matter how many garrison troops died in the eastern defense line, we could not be involved... Frederick's eldest son took the greatest responsibility. Shepherd Frederick mastered logistical supplies, troop replenishment and divine power. He asked us to give up the battle area of Duncan fortress. Why should we refuse? Why should we refuse? Talk to oroxie It is in line with the needs of the eastern defense line and our interests to merge our troops. "

"Andrea, don't let the glory and arrogance of your ancestors cover your eyes... Well, this is my advice to you."

The countess was stunned for a moment, hesitated and said, "but... But we spent our energy and sacrifice in the battle zone of Duncan fortress..."

"But we didn't break the Greyhound village."

Hussein stood up and said, "Andrea, I've sent out the letter crow and asked oroksia to rush to Fort Duncan to meet with the two princes of Gambis. You might as well arrange the reception... Oh, by the way, the chief frides and the eldest son of Siegfried will also come to the meeting."

Prince Basilius gave the order to leave, and Andrea gathered her mind, got up and saluted and left.

When the countess's crisp footsteps gradually disappeared, Hussein shook her head with some laughter. Andrea was arrogant, but impatient and had no outstanding political talent. She was the sharpest long sword, which frightened the enemy and made the master cautious. She never had anything to do with tenderness.

Whoever marries her is guilty. Poor eklie, have a nice night... Hussein prayed for his distant cousin, opened the door and walked alone to the dungeon of the fortress.

The spiral stairs leading to the underground were dark and cold, and the boots of Barcelona trampled on the wet stone steps silently. He seemed to be integrated with the underground environment.

The prisoners were unaware of the Duke's arrival until the prison door creaked open and slammed shut. The awakened prisoners sat up slowly from the hay nest, and two dark red lights lit up in the depths of their eyes, just like the legendary eyes of the dead.

"I'm glad to meet your highness." The prisoner stroked his chest and saluted in an old and dry voice, which was totally out of proportion to his muscular and burly appearance.

Beside Hussein stood a tall lady whose face was covered by darkness, but the prisoner's eyes seemed to have the ability to see through the darkness.

"What is your title?" The lady asked. Her voice was as light and pleasant as a stream, as if it could flow into people's hearts.

"Your Highness Basilius, you can call me a 'prisoner'." The prisoner stroked the lady's chest.

This lady turned out to be the guardian of the balelius family and the Golden Knight guarding the northern part of the eastern defense line, oroxia balelius.

"Prisoner?" Hussein looked up and down at the prisoners opposite and said with a smile: "talk to us through the body of a death row prisoner. It's magical witchcraft... There are many priests in Duncan fortress. Aren't you afraid of exposure when you use witchcraft?"

The red light in the prisoner's eyes flickered and slowly replied, "this ceremony is very complex and expensive, but it will not be noticed by the priest."

"So your excellency admits that you have a relationship with the shining church?" Oroksia asked faintly.

"Hehe, since the chaos of the Pantheon, there has been no wizard organization in the human country. Your Highnesses are extremely intelligent. Naturally, you can think that the church has secretly cultivated a wizard organization." The prisoner nodded and said frankly, "yes, we have something to do with the church. We are devout believers of the Supreme Lord. We are the Shadow Council outside and the shadow priest inside. Our mission is to gather the witchcraft awakeners of the human kingdom and prevent the recurrence of disasters like the Pantheon."

Hussein and oroksia seemed to have expected this answer, or any change could not shake the will of the Golden Knight. The two looked at each other, and the Duke of Barcelona nodded: "of course, the church should prevent similar disasters and control wizards. That's the consistent style of knights and nobles. Since the Pope has lost power, it's reasonable for the shining knights to secretly cultivate shadow priests."

"I have a question. The Shadow Council helped us cultivate bloodthirsty soldiers in Barcelona. We have been dealing with each other for three years. Your Excellency prisoner has always refused to contact us. Why did you suddenly choose this time to ask to meet us?"

The prisoner said, "at the time of the crisis of the human kingdom, as the servants of the Supreme Lord and the extraordinary among mankind, we shadow priests should also contribute their own strength and have their own demands."

"Oh? What does the shadow priest want in this war?" Oroksia asked faintly.

"The right to walk in the sun." Said the prisoner in a deep voice, with repressed longing.

Oroksia smiled and said mercilessly, "your request is too high. No one will admit that the shadow priest is a part of the shining church. You are just private soldiers of the trigowar family."

The prisoner was silent for a moment and said in a hoarse voice, "this is the current situation we are trying to change... I can understand the fear of mortal believers for wizards. Walking in the sun is our ideal. It takes a long process to realize this ideal, and someone needs to take the first step."

Hussein laughed: "The ideal may not be realized, but survival is the most urgent. Where is the shadow under the sun? The shadow is always hidden behind the behemoths. Since the tribunal will use the power of the shadow parliament this time, you will face a clean-up after the war. Only in this way can trigova be clean. Frankly, I'm afraid we can't protect your excellency, but you can borrow it Help perselius to inherit his power. What do you think of the mage advisory group of the iron mountain royal family? At least, your descendants can become real nobles. "

"No." The prisoner shook his head firmly and said, "the wizard organization without faith will only slide down the abyss of desire and cause unimaginable disasters to the world... In your noble words, the church is a bigger backstage than Barcelona. Why do we give up the shelter of the church and choose a royal family?"

"I didn't expect your Excellency's faith in the Supreme Lord to be so pious." Oroksia sneered, "but in the end, you just want to get rid of trigova's control and become an independent institution of the church, so as to have more power."

The prisoner shook his head and said, "I must remind your highness that we are also extraordinary and have extraordinary power that ordinary people can't reach. Don't we deserve power?"

"But you are not bound by the glorious code!" The Duke of Barcelona's eyes were like electricity, his momentum rose like a mountain, and said categorically, "we have differences with the shining knights, but we can't allow the chosen one to revive and rule the human kingdom again!"

"Your Highness, why should you test my strength? It's just the body of a death row prisoner." The prisoner said slowly: "What if trigoval is bound by the glorious code? They resell people, kill innocent people, protect knights and nobles from intermarriage. These criminal activities are inextricably linked with you nobles. Most of the secret law dead and secret Knights of the Frederick family come from the eastern alliance controlled by trigoval... In addition, I have to correct a fallacy of your highness, The glorious code binds everyone, including wizards. Her binding force is to protect and redeem, not punish and destroy. There is no law to destroy wizards in the glorious code, because we come from mortals, and the devil also covets the soul and flesh of wizards. The belief in the Supreme Lord can protect our souls from the temptation and persecution of the devil, and degenerate wizards who break their faith will be punished The purification of the clergy becomes part of God's grace. "

"When the first Pope made the glorious code, he had left the way for wizards - the belief of self redemption and the supervision from the clergy. In the final analysis, his majesty Enoch is also a great wizard. Since we can accept the healing of the holy light, we must be loved by the Supreme Lord."

"Your Excellency prisoner's thorough study of theology has laid a theoretical foundation for the shadow priest to come to the front stage." Oroksia sighed faintly, shook her head gently, regretted and said, "it seems that it is difficult for us to reach an agreement... So, what can we do for your Excellency and what can your excellency bring to Barcelona?"

The prisoner whispered with a smile, "it's very simple. Try to get our people to meet his highness Randall."

Hussein's eyes twinkled and asked, "I'm surprised that the shadow priest has great powers. Can't he contact people and horses by himself?"

"For some reason, we can't go to the man horse hills... And the sudden outbreak of the orc War provides an opportunity for us to cooperate with his highness Randall and Sylvia. We hope to get the support of the southern empire."

Oroksia asked coldly in her voice, "and then? Sell you to our bloodthirsty soldiers and then to the horse hills?"

"Oh, oh, oh... Don't be greedy, your highness Basilius, noble and wise." The prisoner laughed in his throat and said: "We only find wizards in the Sassanian Empire to work for the Basilius family temporarily. They will eventually return to the church and serve the Supreme Lord. I believe the political enemies of the political enemies are allies. The paladin family is obviously the political enemies of the Basilius family, and a Duke of Basilius is not enough to help the shadow priest to the front stage, but his majesty Basilius can, and the iron mountain empire can. We are willing to help the balelius family. It's good for both of us, isn't it? "

Hussein touched the back of his head, smiled and said kindly, "that's all? I thought there would be something more real."

The prisoner was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "When the shadow priest gets rid of the control of the trigoval family and really becomes a branch of the church, we will remember the kindness of basselius. Your Highnesses will see the more valuable research results of the shadow priest. Bloodthirsty soldiers are nothing... Although the basselius family cannot enjoy the extraordinary achievements of the shadow priest alone, it is better than nothing. At least, we promise The priority of the balelius family. "

"Vague and general... Say something specific." Oroksia's voice fully expressed her dissatisfaction.

The red light in the prisoner's eye socket contracted and restrained. After a while, he said: "the shadow warrior created by Paladin crystal has the ability of ferocity, spiritual fire and bloodthirsty... You will see the sample of shadow warrior, but if you want to get more shadow warriors, you must first let the shadow Shepherd master the power and allocate the resources of the church."

Hussein and oroksia exchanged eyes, smiled and nodded, "deal... How do you want to meet his highness Randall?"

"Your Highness bacelius, as long as you tell wizard Luke about his highness Randall's whereabouts, we will meet him alone at the right time." The prisoner's eyes were red and shaky, and his voice said hoarsely, "the time is coming. If there's anything else, contact us through Luke."

With that, the prisoner fell on his back without breath. Hussein rubbed his chin, sensed the element change of the maximum distance, and said with a smile: "dead... Wizards always have strange skills. Fortunately, their witchcraft can't hide our element perception."

Oroksia glanced at the prisoner lying on the ground and said faintly, "he has long died... Except for the fire element, I can't feel the pulsation of the water element. It seems to be the legendary manipulation of the dead."

Hussein hugged his hands, smiled sarcastically at the corners of his mouth, shook his head and sighed, "it's also a group of guys who refuse to face the reality..."

Oroksia turned her head and asked, "what do you think?"

"View? There will only be two empires in the human kingdom, the iron mountain in the north and the Gambis in the South... There will be an empire only if there is a golden blood. Frederick and the shining Knights just make wedding clothes for us. I don't want problems within the shining knights, whether it is the orc war or the next pioneering war."

The Duke of usein basselius, with a deep look, said with a low smile: "I want to swallow all the little wizards found by the shadow priest, together with the inheritance of bloodthirsty potions. However, I am very interested in shadow soldiers. When we get the training method of shadow soldiers, the shadow priest can die. It's best to let trigowar fall with us, and the tribunal will be put under the name of the Privy Council from now on."

He said with some distress: "the problem is to sell the shadow wizard to the shepherd? Anyway, it can't be sold to fledes."

Oroksia nodded slightly, frowned and said, "I'm only worried that the shadow priest will be bad for his highness Randall. Sylvia is about to die, just like the ancestors of verotika, with omniscient power. She wants to destroy the golden blood of basilus only in one thought“

"Hum, if you can't mobilize the power of the elemental sea, how can the wizard's Witchcraft hurt the legendary strong? Besides, his highness Randall is close to the holy land." Hussein said disapprovingly, thought about it, and continued to add, "it's a big deal. We're in foster marriage with the York family."
