Chapter 172: The King
This battlefield has become a thing of the past, and after the tragic fighting, the battlefield left behind is a little eerily clean.
The grandmaster-level siege rune used by Ron burst out with great power at the same time, it also cleaned up the entire bloody battlefield, and countless corpses and monsters in the demon world turned into the purest energy under the decomposition of the nine-colored halo, giving back to this heaven and earth.
After this battle, the Western Regions seemed to have no intention of continuing to capture the Southern Regions, and the army followed the army in the Southern Regions and marched all the way towards Fordshire, Calgado was extremely silent along the way, frowning.
It's just that no one knows that after the mighty army left, a black figure fell on the battlefield.
"This, what the hell is going on here? There is obviously still a residual breath of the aftermath of the Great War, but this battlefield is inevitably a little too clean, right?" Merobo looked at the battlefield with almost only a faint trace of blood remaining, and his head was full of questions.
"Where did the army of the Eastern Regions go? Could it be that it went directly to Ford County in the Southern Regions?" Thinking of this, Merobo's eyes flickered, thinking of Bahaya's greed, his eyes instantly narrowed, and he said to himself: "It seems that this Bahaya should be eyeing the peerless weapon in Leon's hand." Hmph, this is a treasure that the Demon Realm must get, how can it be handed over to you. ”
Merobau thought as she galloped in the direction of Fordshire.
It's no wonder that he thinks like this, after all, he would never have thought that the Eastern Regions, which had an army of 300,000, would lose to the Southern Regions, which only had more than 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers. It's like a fantasy.
Moreover, Merobo also dug a big pit for Bahaya before leaving, in his opinion, Bahaya will inevitably directly use the power of the demon elixir to turn all the soldiers under his command into demon soldiers for him to drive, with 300,000 powerful demon soldiers, it is not difficult to set foot in the southern region in one fell swoop.
Merobo felt that Bahaya must have used some means to cover up the traces of the battlefield. It was to prevent someone from the demon world from tracking him and snatching the weapon from Leon's hand.
With Bahaya's resourcefulness, he should definitely be able to guess that the reason why the Demon Realm took great pains to make trouble in the remote mountainous areas of the southern frontier of the Holy Gal Continent was to seize the legendary god-slaughtering weapon of the Lyman family. With his greedy character, it is understandable to do such a thing that is guarded against the demon world.
Merobo groped around the battlefield for a while, then looked in the direction of Fort County in the distance, and muttered to himself, "Bahaya is really going to Fort County, so unhurried, it seems that he is really confident." Hehe, I haven't been back for a year, and I still miss the days when I was a county guard. ”
Merobo muttered to himself as he spread his huge black bat wings, and with a pop he rose straight into the air, then disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared.
The army of the Western Regions was stationed in the outer city of Fort County at this time, only a hundred meters away from the original Gilant Castle. What made the army of the Western Regions a little frightened was that they actually saw countless monsters with bird-bodies and human heads constantly circling above the castle of Duke Gilant, and from time to time there would be many such monsters flying over the army. If it weren't for the fact that they were on the territory of the Southern Regions at this time, and they didn't notice any malicious intent on the other side, I am afraid that these soldiers would have picked it up a long time ago
The weapon defended.
In the council hall of Ford County, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn, and the atmosphere did not seem to be relaxed because the Eastern Regions army was defeated.
"Calgado-sir, is there any basis for what you just said, or is it all your speculation?" asked Bruce very seriously.
Calgado looked at the crowd present, sighed, and said, "Although I don't have a specific basis, just my guess, I think that Lord Connors should know more than I do, and have some thoughts of your own." ”
Connors nodded and spoke, "Yes, I do know something, the night Ginoarant escaped from the royal prison, many people saw the green fire rising into the sky. Combined with the fact that Arrant later rebelled with many princes in the Western Regions, it should be certain that Gino Arrant has also taken refuge in the Demon Realm. If this is the case, the generalissimo of the Western Regions in the Holy Capital, Engree, is absolutely very aware of the details of the Arant, and he can still work with him casually in this situation, thinking that there are actually a large number of people in the Western Regions, who have already fallen to the side of the Demon Realm. ”
Calgado's face was also a little ugly, he actually had some doubts at first, but later after the battle started, as the commander-in-chief, he was staring at the changes in the situation all day long, where would he have the heart to put this kind of thing on it, and it didn't take long for the matter to be over.
But when he saw the terrifying demon army led by Bahaya last night, he completely came to his senses. In fact, the battlefield he was sent to the Southern Regions was not because the marshal valued his talent at all, but simply let him bring a group of soldiers who had always been kept in the dark to send him to death.
"Oh no, father, isn't he dangerous!" said Leon, rising from his seat in an instant.
The conference room was full of important people in this war, and Leon was not only a commander, but also a prince of the royal family, so he was naturally qualified to sit here.
Hearing Leon's words, everyone was also a little stunned, and the Duke of Gillant took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty the King...... Went to the Holy Capital? This ......."
There was also a look of horror on everyone's faces, although the king of the royal family could not represent a country, but his own identity was there, and if something really happened, it would definitely be a serious blow to morale.
Leon was actually not too worried, after all, the rest of the major families in the Holy Capital, except for the Hogg family, could not directly do anything to the members of the Lyman family, and the Hogg family alone could not cover the sky with one hand, not to mention, they would be extremely humiliated when they saw the down-and-out king, where would they be willing to hurt his life.
And because of the antagonistic relationship between the rebels in the east and the west, they naturally will not directly attack him, the king. After all, everyone wants to re-establish a new state in this land that has been devastated once, and as the king of the previous extinct country, he will play a vital role in this.
This also makes the seemingly dangerous holy capital actually very good for him, the king who is currently in name only.
But now the situation is different, the east and west domains seem to be fire and water with each other, but in fact, they are all lackeys of the demon world behind their backs, and they have long been embarrassed and hooked together.
With the combination of the two forces of the Western Regions and the Eastern Regions, these ancient nobles in the Holy Capital are really not
is their opponent. Coupled with the fact that there is a Hogg family stuck there in the middle, Sean will not end well in anyone's hands.
"What now!" Leon paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.
"You don't have to be so pessimistic. If you think about it, there hasn't been much movement in the Eastern and Western Regions so far, most of them have not caught His Majesty, let alone the Hogg family. If he is really caught, it will definitely not be so calm now, with the grudge character of the Hogg family, he will definitely send King Sean to be burned at the stake, and then continue to scandalize his image, and tell all the people, so that the Lyman family will completely lose the base of the people and go to complete destruction. Ron analyzed clearly, "Based on these analyses, it is very likely that the Holy Capital did not know that His Majesty had sneaked back quietly. ”
"Before, could it be that now they knew?" asked Leon, somewhat puzzled.
Ron nodded and said, "I may not have known it before, but after last night's battle, the Holy Capital will definitely get the news, and it is even very likely that they will establish a new kingdom and system on the ruins of the Holy Capital in advance at any cost." ”
Ron had actually basically guessed what the purpose of the Demon Realm was, and the reason why he didn't tell the people here was just that this kind of information was too shocking, and I am afraid that no one would believe such a thing as the treasure of the Creation God, so the less people knew, the better.
For a moment, the entire conference room was in chaos, everyone was making suggestions, and the room was extremely noisy.
Just when everyone was discussing important matters in Fordshire, in the villa of a luxurious manor in the Holy Capital, among the elegant suites, there was a very luxurious mahogany long table.
There were already many people sitting on both sides of the table, and although some of them rarely appeared in front of the world, it was undeniable that some of the documents of the Saint-Franc Empire should have their strong strokes.
An old man looked at Sean who was sitting at one end of the long table, and was about to say something, when he heard Sean slowly speak: "I believe no one will not know my intention." In that case, I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point. ”
Sean stood up and walked back and forth around the room, these days, he had gone through many obstacles, and finally found the three major families of the Holy Capital. He didn't know how many ideological struggles he had done along the way, but he couldn't make up his mind after all.
It wasn't until today, before he came to this reception room, that he heard about the war that took place in the Southern Regions, and he made up his mind, and his whole person seemed to become relaxed.
The conversation continued throughout the reception room for more than two hours, from the afternoon to the evening.
Finally, when the door opened, everyone's faces were filled with reverence, mixed with relief and relief.
No one knew what Sean had said to the core members of the two oldest families in the Holy Capital, but after this conversation, all the children of the two families felt lighter at the same time, as if a boulder that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time had finally fallen to the ground.
After this conversation, Sean never appeared again, and everyone was silent, as if they wanted to bring this secret into the coffin forever.
