Chapter 22: The Civil War Takes a Break

In a col in Necro Heights, Joan and Arnold were hiding in the shadows at the foot of the mountain.

"The people of the church aren't going to catch up, are they?"

"No, the path we are taking is not a retreat route arranged by the family, and the church will definitely chase in the direction of the crowd first. Arnold replied and kept probing out.

Joan smiled and asked, "So what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about Arthur's accident?"

"Don't worry, when we parted, he deliberately asked for the flying ring he borrowed from me before, not to mention that you still left your war spirit with him? Don't worry that he can't find it. Joan said with a relaxed face.

"Why do you think Arthur has to risk staying?"

Joan snorted lightly, "Don't you know him yet? ”

"Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?" said Arthur as the wind overhead.

Joan immediately leaned over, "Say, what's cheap?"

Arthur smirked, "You still know me, this time it's cheap!"

Arthur said as he dragged a bloody object nearly two meters long from the spatial bracelet.

Joan and Arnold were all so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, "What is this?

Arthur laughed and said, "That's right, this is the little half of the dragon's leg!" At the end of the fight, the later punishment knight of the church cut off the dark dragon's leg with a sword, and I ran away while they were not paying attention to the dragon's leg. ”

Joan pinched it with her hand and pursed her lips, "This thing is useless, is it?

Arthur glanced at Joan fiercely, "Ignorance! This is the dragon leg of the dark dragon, don't look at it as only a small half, the dark energy contained in this leg is enough to be worth Arnold's cultivation for half a year." Besides, Arnold, you don't have a magic wand in your hand, do you? Just use this dragon leg bone as the main material of the bone staff. ”

Arnold's eyes turned red instantly, Arthur took such a big risk for himself.

Arthur deliberately didn't look at Arnold, but turned to the dwarf Toruan, "This dragon leg is still surplus to make a bone staff for Arnold, don't you still lack a suitable axe handle?

The dwarf jumped up from the ground excitedly, using the keel as the axe handle, which would make countless dwarves go crazy with jealousy, "Thank you, Brother Arthur, you will be my ToruΕ„'s big brother in the future!"

"The axe handle and the pure gold are all here, and I still have the spirit mother stone and star and moon stone you need in my bracelet, can you take us to the dwarf kingdom now?"

"Of course, we can go now. ”

Arthur turned to Arnold again, "Do you have any plans, do you want to go with us to the Dwarven Kingdom or to find those dark mages?"

Arnold looked surprised: "You mean you are going to go to the Dwarven Kingdom?"

"Well, I'm being hunted by the church right now, Joan is being hunted by the Empire, and the two of us can't get along in the realm of the Terrans, and we happen to know a dwarven friend before, so ......"

"Are you being hunted down by the church because of my involvement?"

Arthur pretended to be relaxed and said, "You think too much, how can the church send so many general-level powerhouses for you as a little dark mage?"

"Do you know what happened to Patriarch Dunlop?"

"He fled after you left, and although the church's Pastor Light pursued him, I don't think they could catch him. ”

Arnold had a relaxed expression on his face, "In that case, I'll send you to the Dwarven Kingdom first, and then come back to them." ”

Arthur smiled and hugged Arnold, "Then let's go and fight with you is much more reassuring than with Joan, that fool." ”

Joan stared at the two people who were clasped together by their shoulders, and sighed depressedly, "But when I see the newcomer laughing, I hear the old man crying!"

......

The civil war between the Terran countries, which I thought would have no end in the short term, suddenly stopped.

The reason, of course, is that Pope Cylius V brought a message to the kings. The Pope's ambiguity only made the kings even more jealous, fearing that they would provoke Cyrius and provoke the intervention of the Church's armed forces.

Although the fighting between the armies was temporarily suspended, the war did not end. Because no result has yet been reached, the armies of various countries are still facing each other in the war zone, and any opportunity could reignite the fighting.

The war has reached this point, and the Kingdom of Holo is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. Holo received half of the fertile plains of the Kingdom of Bardos, and the supply of various resources in the kingdom was greatly improved. More land means more population, and the population can easily be converted into an army, and Holo's military power will expand even further.

Isaac and Kildan, who eventually intervened in the civil war, each took nearly a third of the territory of Locke and Rouge. A temporary truce would also be a good option for both countries, giving them time to slowly digest the newly occupied lands and re-establish their border defenses.

In the war, some people benefit, and some people suffer, not to mention the destroyed Bardos, Locke and Rouge have been busy living for nothing and have put a lot of money into it, and the land they have gained from Bardos is far less than they have lost.

The biggest loss in this war was actually the imperial family, although Grantham won the throne, but what he really got was only a chair, and the Empire of Light had already existed in name only.

Isaac, Kildan, and Norman did not recognize Grantham as emperor. Both Locke and Rouge had a grudge against Grantham and the Empress because of the damage to their interests, but they didn't end up tearing their faces. As for Holo, he still has great respect for the new emperor on the surface, but Timothy's wolf ambitions are almost obvious when he becomes emperor. Once there is a big change in the empire, Timothy will definitely be the first to pounce.

The crumbling empire is lifeless, and even the prosperous land of Arantis, with the human race, is dead. More than a month has passed since the bloody night of the imperial capital, and this city of human miracles has not yet fully recovered, and many of the buildings destroyed in the war have not been completely repaired.

At the south gate of the imperial capital, three young people came at noon on this day, and it was Huey, Golly and Becky, who had gone and returned.

After sneaking away from the border town of Locke, the trio decided to find Arthur and Joan, but Arthur had no clue where the three were now.

Although they have no clue for the time being, Golie and Becky are both extremely intelligent girls, they don't know where Arthur is, but the church and the royal family that hunted Arthur must know where they have fled.

Inside the south gate, Becky glanced at Golly, "Where are we going next?"

"Let's go to McGinn first, that guy has more information channels in the imperial capital than we do. ”

The two girls went straight to the Nancheng business district after meeting their opinions, and no one asked Huey's opinion from beginning to end.

Huey hurried after him with three large packages on his back.

Huey suddenly found that wandering the world was not as chic and romantic as he imagined, and when he left, he originally wanted to be a ranger who was happy and revengeful, but now he has become a porter who carries a woman's backpack?
