"Tom...... Tong. There was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Please come in. A middle-aged man sitting behind a gorgeous desk raised his eyes in response, and continued to lower his head.

The man was well-proportioned, sitting straight, with slightly curly blonde hair, fluffy and flamboyant, and at first glance it was easily reminiscent of a proud lion. However, the pale blue eyes under his blonde hair were shining, faintly shining with wisdom.

Coupled with the magic robe embroidered with dark gold patterns of a lot of texture, this is obviously a very powerful magician.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency. The door opened, and a woman with a slender figure and a bewitching smile entered. Facing the blonde figure behind the desk, the woman hurriedly bent down to salute, and a large beauty loomed at the low-cut neckline.

The woman maintained an elegant, formal posture, and turned to gently close and lock the door. Only then did he stroke the long hair around his ears, threw the letter he brought in his hand on the desk, and then sat around the desk and sat into the man's arms with a coquettish face.

This blonde man is one of the three marshals of the Alliance, Syvac Tyr, the current head of the Tyver family, and he also has another identity, an eighth-order archmage. The woman in his arms was his deacon and mistress, Susanna.

Everyone who sees the blonde Hivank for the first time will subconsciously think that this may be an iron-blooded soldier because of his sharp eyes and slightly rough face, but in fact he is a magician.

"What's the matter?" Hivanke, known as the marshal, was not in a hurry to warm up, and his eyes fell on the unopened letter on the table.

"After Halloville and Kenadze, Simro's territory has also fallen. However, it is not appropriate to say that it has fallen, and they probably can't bear the pressure and take the initiative to send a letter of surrender to the Free City. Suzanne put her arm around the man's neck.

Sivank frowned slightly, his resolute face showing a hard line, but the brow quickly stretched and smoothed. This was not unexpected, in fact he had already known last year that there were foreign rats nesting in the border area.

The reason why the war report was sent directly to him was partly because Suzanne was his little lover.

Another major reason was that a large area of territory around the city of Asokeland in the north, including the frontier where the new City of Liberty was now located, belonged to him, or rather to their Tymer family.

Arrantis's system of governance is similar to that of the Dark Council, but with some differences.

The Council of Darkness is a cabinet of three elders, with no pope at the top but the Lord of Darkness, and twenty-four seats with voting rights below.

There were also three marshals on Arlantys' side, and there was no head above the head, and there were no twenty-four seats downward, only the division of military positions such as the middle marshal, the minor marshal, and the commander.

Arlantis was part of the mighty northern empire of Kurennar before its dissolution, when it was a collection of small domains ruled by dukes and barons.

After the collapse of the Kurennar Empire, the imperial power died out and the nobility declined. The glory of the family, the inheritance of the nobility, the acceptance of the infidels in the south, and the tolerance of magicians of other lines besides fire are all mixed together.

Arlantis introduced this military system at the end of the Bright Calendar a few hundred years ago, and it has been used ever since.

Then, around these positions of authority, countless new families were born. These new families formed a new circle of magnates in the main city of Arrantis, and then expanded from their own territories to the surrounding territories.

For those remote lords who were far away from the main city, these new magnates of Arlantis usually resorted to co-optation and cooperation. Unless the other party is a stubborn hard bone, the major families will send troops to exterminate it.

To put it bluntly, it is for you to be my person, I provide you with shelter and support, and you provide me with nourishment.

The so-called asylum and support are nothing more than two aspects: force and politics. The military aspect usually refers to the war support between the territories, and as for the political aspect, it generally does not have much to do with the country lords.

After all, those guys only come to the main city once every few years to meet the subordinate protection family, and sometimes no one knows who you are when you make a noise, and you are not qualified to mingle in the core elite circle at all.

The so-called nourishment refers to those remote lords who accept the protection of a large family in the main city, they will continue to enjoy the autonomy of their own territory, and then collect local taxes to send nourishment to the main city big family.

The three frontier territories of Haloville, Kennadze, and Simliu in the north are all direct territories of the Tayver family, and to put it bluntly, they are like domestic chickens that lay eggs. But now a free city has suddenly popped up and stole the chickens.

No longer recognizing the direct authority of the Tamil family means that the nourishment of those three territories will naturally not be sent in the future.

This kind of thing is actually not a big deal, and there are often disputes and frictions between the various territories on the northern continent in normal times. Even in the circle of the powerful in the main city, yours suddenly becomes mine, and mine becomes his, and such things often happen.

According to the previous method of handling Arlantis, if it is an internal dispute in the north, that is, a local territorial war, it will be resolved through negotiation between the leaders of the inner circle. If there are foreign thieves, send troops and destroy it.

After first getting the information about Free City, Sivank didn't pay much attention to it, he adopted this old method, just conveyed the order to the three small territories there to join forces against the enemy at the same time.

In the end, only the Illoville Territory responded to the order, but the ending was sad, and Halloville was erased from the map.

After the report of the battle was transmitted back to the main city of Arlantys, Svank still didn't pay much attention.

The combat strength of the countryside is already uneven, and it is not surprising that there will be any results in the end. As for the two small territories of Kennadze and Simliu, who did not respond to the order, whether they rebelled or had their own trade-offs, it would be over when the time came.

The moment they did not respond to the orders of the main city, it already meant that they were no longer controllable, and there was no longer the need to exist. Since they stood on the opposite side of Arrantis and became the enemies of the main city, there was only one end in the end.

Just as Syvank was about to send several high-level combat forces to suppress the border turmoil, he suddenly received a letter.

The letter comes from the Dark Council in the South, and it bluntly states that what is currently entrenched in the northern border is the extreme evil that has escaped after causing mass murder in the south, and hopes that the northern side will pay attention to it.

Although the southern and northern borders have always been hostile relations, no one can kill anyone for so many years, and gradually everyone will not mention it.

Hivank's father has a certain friendship with the three elders of the Dark Council, Sexin. In fact, if you go back to the generation of Sivanck's grandfather, they ran from the south to the north, and then took root and developed in the north.

After the position of the head of the family was in the hands of Sivank, adhering to his father's philosophy, Sivank did not have much hostility towards the south. In addition, in several areas that can bring benefits, there have been several cooperation between the north and the south, and this friendship has been maintained.

The evil god remnants mentioned in this letter gave Sivek a sense of déjà vu as if he was facing a hornet's nest. It may sound like a joke, but a letter signed by the three elders of the Dark Council is clearly not a joke.

Therefore, Hivank stopped in time and began to wait and see and gather information.

Mainly for Saul Drake, what he has done, what he is doing, and what he is about to do.

This wait-and-see has been on the sidelines for nearly a year, from the appearance of the other party, as well as the rumors and deeds of the other party, etc., all the information that can be collected has been summarized to Sivanke.

After reading the information repeatedly, Sivek suddenly felt that he was a little incomprehensible.

The other party went wild at the ball in Oderentina and went to Byron Bian's elite circle to cheat a sum of money, which are two major events that can be marked on the surface. There are also some small things such as the management of the Free City and the transformation of the territory.

The problem is to amass wealth like an ordinary person, recruit troops, and slowly grow and develop...... Are these things that evil gods should do? You are all evil gods, but what about your power? Are you pretending to be an ordinary person and cowering in the crowd to experience life?

Sivank felt that he hadn't seen anything, although he hadn't seen Thor, but from the things the other party had done, it seemed that he might barely be able to put a 'smart' prefix in front of the name, but that's all.

However, in Hivank's confusion, another letter came from the Southern Dark Council three months ago.

This time, the letter did not describe the danger of this suspected evil god guy, but directly proposed a solution.

That is to unite the northern and southern realms, work together, and cast a forbidden magic array that requires at least three people to cast, trapping evil in it and eradicating it in one fell swoop. Two people from the south, one person from the north, the magic array demand, the sixth order.

Seeing this, Sivank fell into thought, he originally half-believed in this matter, but now he believes it a little more.

After all, he could retreat under the noses of the three eighth-order old monsters in the southern realm, even if Sivank went by himself, he didn't dare to say it, so this guy named Thor should be a little weird.

Elder Sestin of the Three Seats threatened that the original way to deal with the South was to use the Spear of Divine Punishment to judge the enemy, but he was afraid that he would not be able to kill the enemy, so after the three seats discussed together, it was changed to a more secure method.

Hivank must have known what the Spear of Divine Punishment was, one of the few remaining artifacts on the continent, currently in the sanctuary of the Dark Temple.

It is said that the Spear of Divine Punishment has a total of three chances to be used, after which the artifact will automatically shatter and disappear.

In the ancient legends of this continent, only the old stories of his grandfather mention it, it is said that once the Divine Punishment Spear is activated, a golden Divine Judgment Spear will emerge from the sky and slam directly at the enemies locked by the artifact.
