Chapter 49: Princess Leah's Rite of Passage

After the Li people drove a large number of refugees to Petersburg, the 100,000-strong army resolutely chose to withdraw after showing off their might in the plains outside the city.

In order to confuse Gladstone and make him not suspicious, the Satanic leader also deliberately left all the tents and banners in place, and let Martin lead hundreds of orcs to provoke and abuse outside the city day and night.

This feeling is as if there are really thousands of troops behind him to support him.

Before the Knights of the Five Main Cities completed the siege, Satan led his army to retreat to the lair at the northern end of the Mitchell Line, playing the coalition army like a monkey.

"Satan's leader's operation is really incomprehensible, what is the intention?"

After the siege crisis was lifted, the city lord of Gladstone analyzed the battle situation alone in front of the sand table.

He believed that the Li army's mighty crossing of the Mitchell line was definitely not as simple as plundering the town's resources.

"City Lord, refugees are leaving the main city one after another, and I have sent the Knights to help rebuild their homeland. After making a round around the city, General Dekka immediately returned to Petersburg to report to Gladstone.

"There is one thing, my subordinates think it is very strange, the forty towns that were invaded by the orcs, the main buildings in the city are intact, and they have not been devastated, and only a small part of the food and supplies have been plundered.

As for the civilians who were slaughtered, I have counted them carefully, and they are not as terrible as the rumors, with only four or five hundred dead and wounded, and there are 178,000 refugees in exile. ”

"What do you mean...... Satan's dispatch is just a cover, but who is he covering?"

Gladstone bowed slightly, silent, and his face suddenly turned iron-blue, "Force a large number of refugees into the city, create chaos and cover the safe evacuation of the Frost Witch." ”

This is the most plausible explanation at the moment......

"Can it be understood that the trouser industry and the Li have joined forces?" General Dika was also shocked.

For nearly 100 years of Azesia's history, the orcs have fought on their own, rarely forming alliances, because neither of them is willing to submit to the other.

Because of this, the coalition forces of the five main cities were able to break them one by one.

Greenland, the Frost Witch, is the chief witch of the Pants Clan, second only to the Tatar chieftain in status, while Satan is the leader of the Li Clan, and the two tribes have never been in contact with each other before.

But now there are signs that Satan is risking his troops for Greenland.

"Send my cronies, take my message and tokens, and quickly inform King Monty of the news, so that he can prepare to defend against the orcs in advance. Gladstone has entrusted this responsibility to a trusted lieutenant.

In the face of the overall situation of the country, personal enmity can be ignored for the time being.

"War may break out early, and what I can do is to guard the northern gate of the Monty Kingdom and confine the Li people to the Mitchell Line. ”

Gladstone ordered all the Silver Armor outside the city to be taken back to Petersburg, and at the same time recruited troops from nearby towns to stock up on food and grass for the war effort.

The Frost Witch, mixed with the large number of refugees, slipped out of Petersburg and rushed directly past the Mitchell Line to the lair of the Li.

"Niece Greenland, slaughtering a city by yourself, I have heard of your prestige for a long time, in human terms, it is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. "Satan sets up a banquet for Greenland.

"Satan Chief, I'm not going to talk to you, long story short, Father wants you to restrain Gladstone, we will support the new Lord and dismantle the Monty Kingdom from within, as for the curse in Mitchell's defense, you only need to step on the shuttle door scroll to pass it smoothly like last time. ”

Greenland sipped the wine on the table, turned around and was about to leave, "I need to rush to the royal city before the princess guards, deploy a new battle plan, forgive my niece for not staying in the Li clan for a long time, I hope that when we meet again, we can drink and talk in the Monty Palace." ”

"I think it will. ”

The leader of Satan gave Greenland, the only horse in his lair, to help her get to the city of Monty faster.

......

As soon as the Golden Knights led by General Layton entered the royal city, they were disarmed, and the accompanying high-ranking magicians were responsible for taking Princess Leia to the Holy Hall to be baptized by the Pope.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, was captured with a capture net by the council magician who was ambushed at the gate of the city.

"Carl, you can't be untrustworthy and promise that you won't be able to arrest me until the princess's coming-of-age ceremony is over. "The other party was premeditated, and after waiting for a long time, Chen Feng was careless and underestimated the enemy, so he could only be captured obediently.

"You have secretly run out of the royal city, and you still tell me about integrity?"

Carl personally escorted Chen Feng to the Divine Temple, but instead of putting him on death row, he was taken to the very top of the bell tower, where he had a wide view and could overlook the entire scene of the coming-of-age ceremony.

"I have always been a man of my word, and when Princess Leah's bar mita ceremony is over, I will immediately put you in prison to await the Pope's trial. ”

Elder Karl obviously wanted to win over Chen Feng, not put him to death, and tried his best to meet his requirements.

As the old saying goes, a rabbit bites when it's in a hurry, Chen Feng is in a hurry, and he doesn't know what kind of killing move he will make? After all, he is a freak who can master thunder and lightning, and if he can pass the judgment of the Holy Temple, then it is very likely that he will be trained to become the successor of the Pope in the future.

The coming-of-age ceremony for the prince to reach the age of sixteen was the most solemn and solemn ceremony in the kingdom of Monty, without which the entire temple was cleared by the Templars, and no one was allowed to approach half a step, and those who violated it were to be executed by heretics.

In addition to the Pope and the King, more than four hundred high-level magicians and all the direct members of the royal family were present, and even included representatives of the nobles sent by the other four main cities.

And the person in charge of presiding over this ceremony was none other than the Mani principal of the Shenglan Academy of Magic.

He was the Pope's personal bodyguard and Princess Leia's life mentor, best suited to serve as an officiant and notary.

"On behalf of the Pope, I declare the rite of passage begins, and the audience is silent to express our highest respect to the theocracy. Principal Mani read the opening remarks, and after a polite remark, the coming-of-age ceremony slowly began.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, please come in!"

Princess Leah changed into a graceful off-the-shoulder gown, her delicate and fair collarbones were completely exposed, exuding a youthful and charming seduction, and her long hair was evenly placed on her shoulders, allowing it to stir freely in the wind.

The two acolytes dragged their long skirts and stopped at the bottom of the ladder, and Leah gazed up at the platform with her watery eyes, bowing to the Pope and the King respectively.

"Leah is really beautiful, full of fairy spirit. Chen Feng praised silently.

During the time she spent with Princess Leah, she was either running for her life, or on the way to escape, she had always been plain, and Chen Feng didn't notice her beauty at all, once she changed into the princess's dress, the goddess's temperament came back in an instant.

The venue was as quiet as a cicada, and the silence was terrifying, and everyone was trying their best to hold their breath.

At such a sacred moment, no one dared to make a single noise.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a white-haired old man wearing a star elephant robe, his robe was inlaid with various precious diamonds and agate, and he held a divine staff embedded with magic balls, pacing to the center of the high platform.
