Act II
In the battle hall, the solemn atmosphere could not be dispersed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"We are about to lose the battlefield on the Western Front, and the other side seems to see the weakness of our layout there, and is mobilizing a large army to storm the Western Front. ”
"Then mobilize the army to support. ”
"If we send troops rashly, it is very likely that it will lead to the temporary weakness of other fronts, our forces will be weaker than the enemy, and we will fight a war of attrition, and it will be ourselves who will suffer in the end. ”
"It's better to give up the Western Front directly and take the opportunity to take the other party's center directly, since they have mobilized troops and horses, then there will definitely be a gap. ”
"Do you know what you're talking about, Lord Reynard?"
"Of course I know that you didn't teach me to sacrifice lesser sacrifices for maximum victories, Lord Ashuram?"
Several officers seated at the round table were arguing fiercely, and they were wearing the coats of arms of different families, apparently representing different forces.
The lich named Renard had soul fire flickering in his eyes, and his robe was embroidered with his family crest, a withered hand holding a black rose, surrounded by dark thorns.
The man he was arguing with was a living corpse in military uniform, with several scars on his shriveled face, he looked older, and on the shoulders of his armor, a lifelike bone dragon roaring.
There were also two generals present, one was Cassius who had gathered everyone, a handsome Bloodclan dressed in a tuxedo and robes, resting with his eyes closed.
The other woman, with her hair coiled up, her dark robe neatly trimmed, and the six gold trims on her cuffs stood out, and she seemed to have no intention of participating in other people's arguments, only concentrating on playing with the dark crystals suspended and deformed in her palms.
"Her Majesty is here. ”
The herald spoke in a clear voice, causing the hall to fall silent.
Then, not long after, Claire, dressed in a black gown, walked into the hall, causing everyone present to stand up and salute.
However, when they saw Lawson following behind Claire, they showed a puzzled expression for a moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. ”
Claire sat at the head of the round table, glanced at the large map projected in the middle of the round table, and did not speak.
"Well, Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, is this a skeleton?"
Ashuram asked, with a lot of hesitation in his tone, as if tentative.
"That's right. ”
Claire motioned for Rosen to sit next to her, which provoked a violent reaction from Renard and Ashuram.
"Wait, Your Majesty, it doesn't seem appropriate to have a mere skeleton sit with us anyway. ”
However, compared to these two, the other Cassius and the woman showed different attitudes.
Cassius recognized the blood-colored end behind Rosen at first glance, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
The woman smiled playfully and looked Lawson up and down.
In fact, even in the realm of the undead, the status of skeletons is quite low, because most of the bone frames are summoned by necromancers as cannon fodder, and the so-called skull sea tactics are actually just bluffing methods against ordinary armies.
Occasionally, there are naturally civilized skeletons, but they will also fall because of the danger that exists at all times, after all, the skeleton's body is very weak, and it is easy to be killed when encountering a beast of similar strength.
"What's wrong?"
Rosen couldn't help it, he asked directly, which silenced everyone present.
It was a long time before Ashuram spoke slowly.
"Will, talking skeletons?"
Obviously, they were all quite stunned by the fact that Rosen would make a sound.
It is already quite remarkable that ordinary skeletons can condense divine consciousness, and as for those who can speak, it is the first time that Ashuram has seen it in the past three hundred years.
"It's an interesting idea to make sounds by vibrating the air through magic. ”
The robed woman quickly understood the principle of Lawson's words, nodded, and fell into thought.
"Your Majesty, could you please introduce this gentleman? ”
Cassiu quickly recovered from his surprise, and he also knew that the skeleton was beside Her Majesty that he had perceived earlier, but Cassiu had always been unpretentious, and asked in a calm tone at this time.
"This is the new owner of the Frank Fortress, can you understand?"
Claire seemed quite satisfied with the reaction of those present, and she paused before continuing.
In other words, he is the one who made the promise of the ancient covenant. ”
"How, how is it possible, it's just a skeleton ......"
Ashuram seemed to be devastated, he had always looked down on skeletons, but now that Her Majesty had said that this was the one who had been waiting for a long time in the ashes, he couldn't believe it.
Of course, the emotional rejection did not make Ashuram lose his mind.
He keenly sensed the aura that emanated from Rosen's body, and confirmed that the other party was at least an awakened stigma, constructing the existence of the law.
Silver-level skeletons have never been seen even in history.
From this point of view, the identity of the other party is extraordinary, Ashuram thought to himself.
As for Renard, although he was also shocked by the current situation, as a lich, he has always maintained a constant sedation for himself, so he can't see much turmoil on the surface.
Cassieu showed a rather solemn expression and was silent.
The name of the Promised Man is Rosen, and you can remember that name. ”
Claire said, and then began to introduce Rosen to the generals present.
"This is Ashram Glenn, the head of the Glenn family, the most seasoned warrior of Isrul. ”
She pointed at Ashuram, who also nodded blankly to Lawson.
"This is Renard Franz, the head of the Franz family, and you must have met his nephew Gruul. ”
Renard looked at Rosen, but the soul fire in his eyes was calm, even at the mention of Gruul, he was unmoved.
"Cassius Sebastian, one of the youngest leaders of the Blood Council of the Blood. ”
Cassiu was very polite and gave Rosen a standard salute.
"As for the last ......"
Before Claire could finish speaking, the woman opened her mouth to introduce herself.
"I am Lisa Amadeus, the head of the Amadeus family and the mother of Karen Amadeus. ”
She smiled, then looked away from Rosen.
The four generals here, without exception, all have at least silver-level or above strength, and Rosen did not rashly investigate, but just from the coercion that unconsciously emanated from them, he could get a glimpse of one or two.
Of course, Rosen knew that this was not all of Isrul's strength, and he had already seen the map in the center of the round table, where the scale of the war was far greater than he had imagined.
"So, let's start the battle meeting. ”
Seeing that the others were no longer talking, Claire began the real theme of the meeting.
