Chapter 401: The Ownership of the Knight's City (1)
All it takes is that at the suggestion of Lord Javier, Glori borrows the power of the gods. After a flash of light in his hands, Glori nudged Fiknis. And Glori, too, followed Phoenix and took a step forward.
Flickering his gaze, a patch of emerald green appeared in front of Glori's eyes. Glori knew that he wasn't using teleportation magic, just illusion magic. In order to completely plunge Phoenix into the verdant field, Glori has to wait for Lord Javier, who is in the woods near the East City District, to take action.
And the signal to do it is a worrying existence.
Glori, and Master Javier didn't agree on a way to address the counterpart. The only way to deal with this is to taste the fighting spirit in the wind - trying to distinguish which forces are fighting at a certain moment and in a certain place is a technical task.
It's just surveillance, and it's not reliable. Sometimes, the watcher is the one being followed. Even, in the battle, no one can predict what kind of strategy the other party will use in the next moment. Perhaps, the watchers are also in the trap. However, Lord Javier has a solution.
Could it be that it relies on the Death Stone?
No, Lord Javier can not rely on the Death Stone to find the "smell of the wind". So, this is also one of the great things about Lord Javier.
Lord Javier, he uses observation to make inferences about someone's thoughts.
Let's put it simply. For example, when a merchant sees different customers, he thinks about how to sell his goods. Another example is the King of Velon, who does not like flattery, but wants to use courtiers in the court, when in fact, the King of Veron is only trying to hide the eyes and ears of those who are evil. For another example, when King Veron visits the Inquisition of the Bloody Blade, Lord Javier knows that King Velon, who has a straight face, does not want to see how things are going, but because of something that he wants to be quiet.
In any case, someone like Lord Javier, who has experienced court battles, has a keen grasp of the situation. With the slightest hint of wind and grass, Lord Javier could tell that something had changed.
Since Glori wants to integrate the resources in the knight city, there will be people who disagree over interests.
For example, the Norton family also wants to win over Glori, who has the Brave Wind Warband, not only to expand his prestige, but also to deal with the Flore family.
However, the Flores want to make Woolfer the puppets of the Kingdom of Norton and let the real power belong to the Flores family, who want power but do not want to lose the support of the other nobles in the knights, and only by supporting the true successor of the previous Norton king can they get by.
Of course, as far as the Flore family is concerned, there are naturally plans of the Norton family. In short, both the Norton family and the Flore family want to borrow the fame of the Blue Star and the Brave Wind Warband.
So, there is also the matter that Lord Zebrum wants to rely on Glori and the Brave Wind Warband. However, the situation in the city of knights is complicated, and the church in the city is also involved. For example, the Knights' Church, the Rune Church.
The Knights' Church, which did not directly oppose King Veron's freedom plan, wholeheartedly supported the Norton family. And the man who is known as the "Solid Shield of the Kingdom of Norton" is familiar to Lord Javier. After all, Lord Javier is the same man who also stands behind the knights, supporting his kingdom and his king.
Compared to the Knight's Church, the Rune Church is a bit of a headache. The Church of Rune, which has close ties with the Flore family. Most of what Lord Javier learned was about the deal between the Rune Church and the Flore family. Even, the wealth accumulated by the Flore family is related to the Rune Church, which likes to accumulate wealth.
The bishop of the Church of Rune, also known as the "Benevolent", is an insatiable fellow. Orphan after orphan was turned into the hands and feet of the church, running around, or deceiving or robbing, gathering wealth in the basement of the church. In order to gain a foothold in the Knights' City and stay away from the Church of the Dark Veil, the "Philanthropists" chose to trade privately with the Flore family, and usually showed favor to the Norton family.
Another difference with the Knights is that the Runerites do not support the previous King of Norton but support Wolfer, the son of King Norton, and directly oppose King Veron's plan for freedom.
Later, there was the fact that the Knights Church and the Rune Church did not interact with each other. Gabriel, the "Gabriel" of the Knights' Church, doesn't want the nobles who were punished by King Veron to get the Runecraft Church to destroy the orthodox Knights Church because of narrow-mindedness and self-interest. In the Norton Kingdom, the only church that is really good for the Norton Kingdom is the Knights Church.
The Knights' Church will not deliberately show favor to any side of the force. Anything that is beneficial to the Kingdom of Norton will be protected by the Knights Church.
And now?
In the entire knight city, the ones who really spoke were the Norton family and the Flore family who supported Wolfer. The two major families that originally supported Wolfer now have to face not only the confrontation of Lord Kenneth, but also the conflict over their respective interests, and the Knights Church can only intervene.
Phoenix, the messenger of Gabriel, quells the feud between the two families in the Knights' City and keeps the blue stars out of the way of the kingdom of Norton. The Blue Star, on the other hand, is like Lord Javier's messenger - to quell the infighting in the current kingdom of Alex, and use all resources to fight against the Demon Dragon Empire.
Now, the duel between Blue Star and Phoenix is actually the duel between "Gabriel" and Lord Javier. The difference is that Phoenix is subject to "Gabriel", while Glori accepts Lord Javier's advice.
If Phoenix wants to make things worse, then it can only deal with Phoenix - because the Knights Church is not only dealing with the two major families for the sake of the Norton Kingdom, but also trying to deal with the people who support King Veron. So, there is the current scene. Glori, who is in a stalemate with Phoenix in a hallucination. Micro book bar
Phoenix didn't expect that Glori's divine power had grown by leaps and bounds.
Staring at Glori, holding back the shaking of his right hand, Phoenix was looking for a moment of respite.
Just now, Phoenix borrowed the divine power bestowed by the god of the sun to fight Glori. Not only did he not let Glori back down, but Phoenix didn't even have the means to shatter the illusion magic.
At this moment, looking at the verdant surroundings instead, Phoenix brewed some magic before he straightened his chest again. Pointing to Glori's armor, Phoenix was a little smug.
"Heh, that's what your Star Battle Kai does, right? I'd like to see if your armor is solid, or if Lord Kenneth is solid. ”
"What?"
Following where Phoenix was pointing, Glori looked down. In an instant, Glori was surprised by the circle-shaped burn marks left on the waist of his armor. It turns out that Phoenix, who has experienced it on the battlefield, is not as simple as Glori thinks.
In addition to the rumored flame dance, Phoenix can also use magic that is different from that of a fire mage: a magic that is not too high in terms of mana cost but is insidious. Using the beam of fire as cover, Phoenix delivered a steel dagger to Glori's waist.
Therefore, Phoenix, like those battlefield veterans, will use some insidious means in addition to real skills. Unfortunately, Phoenix's dagger didn't hurt Glori's vital point. The dagger, too, only stopped just as it was about to pierce the armor.
Pulling out the dagger, Glori also learned about another role of Xingchen Zhankai. If it is attached with the power of the gods, Xingchen Zhankai will have the ability to heal itself.
Looking at the burn marks on the armor and the fading cracks, Glori couldn't help but be amazed at the incredibleness of the Shennuo craftsmen. A piece of armor can actually echo the power of God. As if, everything is predestined.
Only Glori knows that the reason for things is not everything that is predestined, and it is not what Phoenix calls and lingers.
Like a dilemma, Glori always has to take it one step at a time. And past experiences, Glori knows how hard it can be. On the road to finding the God of Light, there are also teams other than the Rocky Warband. If it weren't for the persistence of Glori and his friends, he wouldn't have been able to get where he should have been.
See, a lot of effort should have a good result! And what is commendable is that the effort to usher in a good result is for a valid reason.
If the knight city is going to belong to any faction, it must not go through a baptism of fighting, especially under the influence of people's desire for profit.
Looking at the road he had walked, Glori felt that it was not easy in his heart. And the intrigues he encountered on the road, Glori also felt like the battles in the knight's city. If he hadn't been in it, Glori wouldn't have believed it.
At this time, that unremitting effort was used in a bad place by the nobles. For the sake of the ownership of the Knight City, regardless of "a lot of effort, it is worth cherishing" - Knight City, but it has just been recovered!
If the struggle continues, who will benefit?
From past experiences, I have seen terrible things and have grown. Glori didn't want to see things go bad in Knights' City, and he didn't want to see things happen that shouldn't have happened. If it continues, no matter who belongs to the knight city, it will face the tribulations brought by the Imperial Legion. Yura, waiting for people to fight for a fight.
Indeed, the matter of the knight's city should have a result.
Glori had to remind.
"Phoenix, our enemies are not far away! Do you want to bring about the defeat of the Knights because of the battle in the Knights' City? As for me, I am here to stop Lord Kenneth's plans and prevent the people from continuing to fight!
"Do you want to be like the Norton and Flore families who want to see the Knights end miserably because of the murder of Lord Kenneth?"
Glori, speaking one after another. Kenneth, on the other hand, didn't say a word.
Kenneth knew that if Blue Star stayed in Knights, he would have to face the battle between the Nortons and the Florey family intensifying. There is no doubt that the Blue Stars and the Brave Wind Warband have given the Norton and Florey families a reason to start a dispute - whoever can draw people closer will get more support.
Therefore, not only will you have to deal with Lord Kenneth and Lord Zebrun, but Phoenix will also have to deal with the Blue Star and the Wind of the Brave. As a result, either the nobles will unite to fight with the Brave Wind Warband, or the Brave Wind Warband will disappear so that it will not be used by any family.
