Chapter Twenty-Six: The Other Side of the Battlefield
About half an hour ago, when Charlotte had just left the house, a riot was taking place in the west of Lucerne. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In a small villa, the city guard and the fighting priests of the Church of Justice surrounded the bungalow with a garden, and the bungalow was constantly being shot from the window with military bows and crossbows.
This was the third riot that Aven had dealt with in a single day, and Claire, who was in charge of the east, was no better, and information about the Annihilation Society was spreading throughout Lucerne's ruling class.
Almost every time he processed the information, Evan would discover that the so-called annihilation of all things would be a group of out-and-out evil parties and dead apostles.
They weren't really annihilationists, but they weren't a good thing either.
They may be engaged in illegal trade, tax evasion, and private armor. What's more, they even sold their souls to the demons of the abyss for the sake of wealth and power.
In a sense, those who make dirty deals with demons in private, and who constantly sacrifice the souls of the poor or vagabond in exchange for wealth and power, are not much different from the so-called Annihilation Society.
If it weren't for this incident, Aven would never have imagined how terrible the sinister city of Lucerne was hiding on the surface.
In order to reach the peak of power and wealth, those merchants not only colluded with the aristocracy, but even sold their conscience and soul.
Judging from the large number of evil traders, it is clear that these guys have not been doing business for a day or two.
But the question is, how did they know about the magic circle that summoned demons?
"Maybe the situation is different from what we imagined, and the annihilation of all things will only be afraid that it will not be a day or two in Lucerne!"
Evan said with a solemn face.
Beside him, Count Aubrey embarrassedly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. As the de facto ruler of Lucerne, he really didn't want to give the impression that His Royal Highness the Grand Duke was incompetent.
Although the consequences are not so serious as to reduce the seal, it is not too easy for the future Grand Duke Erosa to give himself some color.
As for Neham, who combed his long platinum blonde hair into a ponytail, he still had that serious expression, and this strict priest seemed to be in a good state of mind at all times, which made Evan feel a little fond of the young pastor.
"I don't think you can blame Lord Earl Aubrey for this, after all, Lucerne is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and if everything is annihilated, it will want to deceive people, even Lord Earl will not be able to detect it immediately. What's more, this also involves the Forest of Illusions, Your Royal Highness the Grand Duke, you should know that they are the most terrible guys who can play with people's hearts. ā
Neam prudently exonerated Aubrey, causing the earl, who was over fifty years old, to look at him with gratitude.
But the pious priest didn't seem to care, and he bowed his head in anguish and said to Aven.
"In fact, this matter is inseparable from the weakness of our church, and unlike the position of the Earl, our mission is more in contact with the people. Not having discovered the severity of the problem in advance is our greatest disrespect to the great Dagmar!"
'When did Erosa need you guys to find out what was wrong and take responsibility?'
Evan felt as bad as eating a fly. In fact, there is an inevitable problem in countries where royal power flourishes, that is, the conflict between divine power and royal power.
With the exception of the Duchy of Icewind, where there are hardly any churches preaching, there are countless churches in the rest of the country.
It's just that because of the beliefs of the country's top leaders or the country's folk customs, the gods who are most worshiped in each country will also be different.
But no king, even if he is an out-and-out king, would not want the church to be in charge of his head.
But in fact, few leaders can truly ignore the influence of the church, which is a world where gods really exist.
Compared with the gods who sit in the kingdom of God at high ends, even the royal power in the world has to bow its noble head.
However, compared to the rest of the country, the situation in Erosa is fine.
After all, the Clayderman family has a history of more than 3,000 years. And really counted, those gods with great names have more or less some incense with the Clayderman family, and most of the gods of order are Claudine's comrades in the annihilation war.
And on the other hand, with Sylvia, one of the three saints annihilated, and especially Emmanuel, still alive, the gods naturally did not dare to go too far in the Duchy of Erosa.
In my memory, Cassandra Copperbeard, with her thick beard, is the best negative teaching material, and the hapless dwarven forge god was once branded by Sylvia and Emmanuel into the kingdom of God, and lost all face and inside.
So it's not uncommon for Evan to be unhappy with Neham's willingness to take responsibility.
"It's annoying that those damn guys have been hiding inside!, Your Highness, please order me to get them out!"
Dressed in silver-white armor, Edie glared indignantly at the villa in front of him, and the arrogance of the other party's unscrupulous use of military crossbows completely angered him.
You know, that's the real contraband in the Principality of Erossa, and if he knows which bastard sold these powerful crossbows to these thugs, he'll have to screw that guy's head off and kick it as a ball.
It has to be said that the knightly elite education over the years has made Edie completely forget his past.
The so-called ass decides the head, and at this time, he has completely forgotten that once upon a time in the town of Santos, he also did those illegal activities that would lose his head.
"Well, I'll leave it to you, Edie. Be careful, maybe those guys have summoned demons as well. ā
"Don't worry, Your Highness!"
Edie said aloud, and he strode out.
Noticing a knight approaching the villa, several crossbowmen soon fired arrows at Edie. But at this time, Edie is no longer the useless gangster he once used to be, and can only show off some clever things.
The young man who had recently been promoted to the knight of the five rings drew the half-hand sword pinned to his waist, this magic weapon tailor-made for him bloomed with a dark blue magical radiance, and the hand-and-half-sword with sharpness, sturdiness, speed, and frost runes was a real murder weapon.
Since the Grand Duke of Erosa officially canonized the title of Baron Edie and gave him a fief, it was given to Edie as the baron's family treasure at the same time, and accompanied Edie to make great achievements in the northern battlefield.
With just one hand, Edie easily knocked the fired crossbow to the ground.
At the same time, Edie uses the power of his wrist to spin his half-sword, and then slaps the crossbow to the side in succession.
He hurried out of the gate of the villa, and as he passed the crossbow bolt inserted into the mud in front of him, he kicked it with one foot, and took it in his hand and threw it into the air.
After the cold flashed, a crossbowman fell from the windowsill onto the courtyard of the bungalow with a cry over his neck.
Seeing the general's bravery, the guards and battle priests let out a morale-high shout.
At the same time, the evil party gasped, realizing that the young knight in front of them was not the same as the useless generals near Lucerne, he was an elite knight who had actually been on the battlefield.
"What an extraordinary bravery! His Royal Highness the Grand Duke's crown prince actually has such an elite knight, I really have to marvel at the future of Erosa! This is probably the most talented knight in Erosa in the past hundred years!"
Aubrey looked enviously at Edy's shining armor in the setting sun, and gave Aven a heartfelt admiration.
With such terrifying strength at this age, one can imagine how amazing Edie's future achievements will be. At least in the whole of Erosa, Aubrey couldn't find another noble knight who could match Edie.
"I wonder if Baron Edie is engaged, in fact, I have a niece of the right age at home......"
"This ...... You'll have to ask Edie himself. ā
Evan felt a headache when he thought of Edie's fiery eyes every time he saw Cecilia.
"Count Aubrey is wrong, although the knight Edie is powerful, he is not the strongest knight of the younger generation of Erossa. ā
Reverend Neam made a faint voice.
After hearing his words, Aubrey really didn't know how to take over the topic. The Earl, who had just thought that this priest was good, immediately labeled him a political idiot at this moment.
Of course, Aubrey knows who the really strongest First Knight of the younger generation is!
It was Princess Erosa Vivien Leigh, a knight with the title of Morning Star and Silver Dragon Princess, Her Royal Highness the princess who was sought after by countless people and was even exaggerated by the good deeds as the world's number one knight.
At the age of eighteen, he has reached the terrifying talent and strength of the Sixth Ring, with the legendary holy sword as a weapon, riding a silver dragon to soar in the northern sky.
The young princess used her beauty and bravery to conquer the people of Erosa and the northern barbarians. There are even rumors that on the prairie, as long as the figure of the silver dragon princess Fei Wenli is seen, the barbarian army can directly retreat without holding the generals responsible.
Although it is an exaggerated rumor, the strength of Vivien Leigh can be seen from this!
However, such an excellent sister is not a good thing for Aven.
It is said that many nobles are supporting Fei Wen Leigh to become the Grand Duchess, after all, in their opinion, Ai Wen, who is only 20 years old and worthy of the Four Rings, is simply different from Fei Wen Leigh.
That's why Aubrey felt that mentioning Vivien Leigh in front of Evan was really the most unwise decision.
But unexpectedly, looking at the figure of Edie kicking open the door of the villa in front of him, the Grand Duke of Aiwen, who should be jealous of his sister, showed a gentle smile from the heart.
"Of course, I know Edie is good, but my sister Vivien Leigh is the real First Knight of Erosa. ā
Aubrey didn't know if it was the Grand Duke's heart, so he wisely shut his mouth and decided to focus on Edie in front of him.
Through the villa's gates, Edie could see that he had already engaged the mob in leather armor.
