In the evening, a torrential rain struck Lava City, the royal capital of Anya, and bean-sized raindrops mixed with hail smashed down on the head and face. With a crackling sound, the hail bouncing and rolling on the ground is distracting. A faint chill rose from it, and the entire capital gradually fell into a bone-chilling chill.

Anya's king, Andong, looked out the window in distraction. There was new news on the defense line, and the demons were swept away again. This news, which should have been boiling all over the country, was blocked by the royal family and nobles.

The Anya people hate the demons, and after a thousand years of war, this hatred has long been integrated into the bloodline. The destruction of the demons should be very happy, but the reality makes people unhappy.

The defensive line has completely collapsed, and the number of deserters is increasing day by day. No one stopped them, because it was the knights who led the soldiers to flee. These brave warriors of yesteryear fled in panic like lost dogs. The news of the blockade will also spread as these routs disperse.

Bran! Anton squeezed the name out between his teeth. It's not that the kingdom doesn't have a plan for this wizard, and it's been preparing for a long time.

The scholar took the initiative to find Anya, and an old scholar named Sean moved into the palace under the tacit understanding of both parties.

Bran is exposed in Northland, and no matter how tightly he controls that city, if he wants to keep it open, there will inevitably be loopholes.

According to the information provided by Sean, the young wizards of the Northland have not yet shown human strength. At the same time, referring to the situation of the wizards in Northland, Bran is likely to be an extreme case, so as long as this person is eliminated, all the troubles will disappear. Even if, therefore, provoke a war.

It's no secret that the Northlands are sparsely populated, which explains why the Northlanders have been unable to afford huge casualties. So as long as the high-end forces of the Northland are eliminated, they will have to compromise in the end.

After the scholars were forced to leave the Northland, there was no news there. In order to obtain timely and reliable information, the infiltration of the Northland has also been uninterrupted, but with little success.

Although there is no way to get the latest information on the situation in the Northland, the plan has been going on in secret and actively preparing for the man, the cat, and everything around him, until the time comes.

The plan was forced to be aborted because of news from the front. A young girl easily killed a group of cavalry. Then, he burned down the demon camp by night.

If the Northlands had more than one Grand Wizard, then an assassination of a single target would be too stupid. The more archwizards the Northlands have, the safer they will be. Because if you hurt any of them, you will incur the revenge of others, and that will be a catastrophe.

This is how the state prepares various response plans in advance for all kinds of possible things and possible people. Every day, there are various plans that are stillborn, and new ones are constantly popping up. It's just that even if some plans are canceled, someone needs to finish it and someone take responsibility.

It's still too late to clean up the whole thing, and if that person finds out, even if it's just a clue, according to his style, it will only be an eye for an eye. An Dong regretted it a little, he felt that he had fallen for a scholar, and now even if he wanted to disappear, it was not so easy. This would be a big problem, there were very few reliable ways to keep secrets, and scholars would not be left to their mercy.

As new news poured in, people's hearts began to waver. The sudden upheaval has given Anya signs of instability in the country.

......

Sean looked out the window, the hail was fading away, but the rain was getting denser. He still remembered what Bran had been like, the kid standing silently in front of him.

Because he liked it, and even wanted to pass on the mantle to Bran, he carefully observed and understood him. Unexpectedly, all this put me in a predicament.

It's all fate!" Sean sighed.

What Bran did affected the interests of too many people. Thinking about the news coming back, that piercing title - mortal! There must be more people trying to kill him now. The royal families and nobles of various countries will regard him as an enemy, and Bran has really caused a big problem this time.

Things are getting more and more complicated, and how to arrange them will be a big problem after these wizards have learned something. Those royal families and nobles lifted stones and shot themselves in the foot. Thinking about taking advantage, thinking about getting the wizard's secret for his own use, thinking about getting everything he needs, and then backhanding Bran to death.

As a result, they were in a dilemma. Pai, these wizards will be affected by unpredictable influences, and if they are not sent, they will be beaten passively in a few years. is like today's scholars, gritting their teeth and scolding behind their backs, but they have to pay for their smiling faces and send wizards to study.

After receiving the latest news from the Anya Defense, he felt a little panicked. He regretted leaving the Northland for a long time, so much so that he forgot about the intrigues outside.

After many years of leaving the City of Wisdom, the foundations of those years are no longer there. thought that if you made meritorious contributions, you would be rewarded and you could enjoy your old age in peace. returned to the city of wisdom but obsessed, and then suddenly everything was wrong.

Now, maybe your life will be safe for a short time. But as Bran is exposed to people for longer and longer, and more people know about him, his own usefulness will become less and less. When it is useless, how can it end well if you participate in these private things?

......

Curt and his attendants braved the wind and rain, and a group of knights and soldiers spontaneously followed. Although his back is gloomy and unable to shelter people from the wind and rain, he is the one who escaped from the hands of the great wizard after all.

Curt didn't want to pay attention to the people behind him, and those people didn't understand that he hadn't escaped, but was trapped in a nightmare. They will only follow themselves into the nightmare and fall deeper and deeper.

As he moved forward, he gradually moved away from the terrifying place, and he gradually regained his senses and began to think about the situation in front of him.

If they abandon the fortress, how can they deserters end well? Fleeing back to the royal capital? That is self-defeating. He stopped and whispered, "I can't go any further." ”

A few people around him gathered around him, "What's wrong?"

"Shall we go back like this?" Curt asked softly.

The icy rain hit everyone's faces, yes, how could they go back like this? After being reminded, several people finally remembered the strict military law, although the law does not blame the people, but the few people who led the troops must be in a catastrophe.

"Why don't we return to the fortress?" someone made a shuddering suggestion.

"The fortress is empty, and even if we rush back now, those deserters will be counted on our heads. As we talked, everyone sobered up one by one, but it was too late......
