Chapter 174, it's not difficult to manipulate fate

The world is all incarnated by the body of the creator god, as a small human being living in it, the previous calling and action have not been discovered, which does not mean that the will of the world has not been aware of it, and now giving Isabella an illusion just illustrates a great problem.

When a hidden danger arises, Landon does not dare to kill her after careful consideration, because she is now under the attention of the creator god.

Murder cannot remove hidden dangers, but may expose them.

In this way, Langton could not wait for the situation in the Augustian Empire to change on its own.

While pretending to prepare for the magic ritual, he sent his clone to the south, and then changed his disguise.

......

West, the new imperial capital.

Nick August, who was under house arrest in the room, suddenly felt an abnormal fluctuation around him, and then found that all the guards and knights in the room were still, and a long-haired man in a black cloak appeared behind him unconsciously.

"Loki?" Nick August recognized the intelligence officer he had come into contact with, and ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face: "Take me out of here!"

Loki shook his head: "No, it's already reluctantly for me to come in alone, and I can't take His Majesty to leave safely." ”

"After escaping the palace, you will be hunted down by Steven Cassdeley. ”

"And we have nowhere to hide in the West. ”

"Well..."Knowing that it was useless for the light to escape from the palace, Nick August also calmed down and asked, "Aiqing is here this time?"

Loki said: "Recommend two talents for Your Majesty, they are Martin Burns and Jackson Agas. ”

"Martin Burns is loyal to royalty, and Jackson Ogas has royal blood. ”

"They can all be a helping hand for Your Majesty. ”

"I've heard of Martin Burns. Hearing this, Nick August thought for a moment and said, "I know that he is the one who delivered the Emperor's decree, but I also remember that he swore loyalty to my brother Pi Zhen. ”

Loki: "But the blood of the former emperor is only His Majesty. ”

"Not bad!" Nick August loved to hear, representing Loki's fundamental recognition of his own legitimacy.

Then he said magnificently: "As long as they swear allegiance, it will not be a problem to want anything!"

Loki: "Your Majesty, the most important thing to do right now is to deal with Steven Keysdeley, and not to allow Martin Burns and Jackson Ogas to swear allegiance in obvious terms, or else our plans will be exposed." ”

Hearing this, Nick August nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, you are right." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "How about I write you two handwritten letters and canonize them as generals with independent recruitment rights?"

Loki nodded: "Not enough, Your Majesty should also win over Gabriel Langton." ”

"Yes!" said Nick August, "we can't do without financial support, how about we get the financial support he provides, give him the title of earl, and be included in the candidacy of the Imperial Minister of Revenue?"

Loki suddenly smiled and said, "Gabriel Langton will probably be crazy when he gets the news. ”

......

......

On the other hand, Martin Burns, who was trying to develop his own power, fell into a bottleneck, recruiting Steven Cassdeley and the rout of the regular army and garrison of the Empire, but he did not have enough logistics and money to support the troops.

begged grandpa to sue grandma, but no one helped him.

At this time, Martin Burns, who had a sad face, met Gabriel Langton, the Empire's recognized first rising star who was supposed to return to the Northlands.

"Why are you here?"

"Give you support. Langton said, and directly took out more than a dozen large wooden boxes containing gold coins, three carts of weapons and armor, and three carts of food and supplies from the bag.

"Henrithe Bourbon never thought of empire in their hearts. ”

"And you are loyal to the empire and love the people. ”

"So, I'm here to support you. ”

Seeing Langton so generous, Marvin Burns, Mark Burns, and McCray Stone were overjoyed and offered to host a banquet.

But Langton refused: "I have come in secret, and I will hand over the things to you, and I will return to the Northland." ”

Upon hearing this, Martin was disappointed, but said that he would do everything in his power to save the empire.

When the heart arrives, there is no need for Langton to say more.

Martin Burns, who was loyal to the empire, the royal family, and the people, but had a heroic posture unknown to ordinary people, saw the map of the various aristocratic forces clearly marked on the weapon carriage, and had already embarked on the arranged road.

......

It didn't take long.

Leaving Martin Burns' camp, Langton found the aimless Jackson Ogas through the portal.

He greeted with a smile on his face, "It's been a long time since I've seen Jackson." ”

"Gabry?" Seeing the sudden appearance of Langton, the three brothers on the road looked at each other, and Jackson asked suspiciously, "Haven't you already returned to the Northland? Why are you here?"

"I'm here for you. Langton sighed, "I'm a Northland after all. ”

"You know that I am not popular with the nobles of the South and the East, who reject me as an upstart. ”

"I can't stay in the middle for too long. ”

The bearded David Davis nodded approvingly.

"We know that those people are jackals, and if you don't leave, they will definitely rob you of your money, weapons, and magic puppet army!"

Langton's face was full of helplessness: "But the empire is still like this, nothing has changed. ”

"Duchess Isabella Stuart has stayed in the Northlands and has not gone south, and there are some things I can't do, so I want others to say, like you. ”

As he spoke, he took out gold coins, weapons and equipment, and food supplies.

"Are you willing to fight for the Empire?"

Hearing this, looking at more than ten boxes of gold coins, three truckloads of weapons and equipment, and three truckloads of food, Jackson Ogas swallowed his saliva, and then looked at the second brother William Wilson and the third brother David Davis, and saw that the two did not object, and his expression gradually became firm.

Jackson Augas nodded heavily and said, "I swear to fight for the Empire!"

William Wilson gave a military salute: "Till death be served!"

David Davis clenched his fist and pounded his chest hard: "Till death!"

......

......

He supported the three Jackson brothers.

Langton left satisfied, and teleported to a third location, by the Grand Canal, where the east and the center meet.

There is no moon in the night.

The stars are lazy.

While he was looking for the Fox family's river warship.

Suddenly, he discovered that there was a group of robbers hiding on the shore.

A robber who wields the regular Imperial Army, is disciplined, and can lie on his stomach in the reeds and hide motionless.

And the leader of the robbers is still the great nobleman of Lane County, Antano Gist.

This stretch of river seems to be under the jurisdiction of Lane County, and the lord and his soldiers disguised themselves as robbers are ambushing here, apparently with other plans.

After thinking about it, Langton planned to see the situation before acting.

Anyway, with the blessing of the illusion spell invisibility, you can also cast mirror space observation.

Not afraid of being discovered.

Soon.

A few old merchant ships with no flags and old appearances slowly approached the canal, and Antano Gist, who was hiding in the reeds, immediately made a move and ordered his robbers to pull up the large iron rope blocking the river.

Then raise the torch to signal the crossbows and catapults on the other side of the river to attack.

The merchant ships burst into flames, and civil strife broke out.

Roderick appeared, brandishing his two-handed sword to split crossbow arrows and flying stones, while shouting orders to his soldiers to remain calm and direct them to fight back.

Langton plans to support and guide Martin Burns into Lao Cao and Jackson Augas into Uncle Liu.

And support Roderick Fox in the fight for the East.

But no assassination was scheduled against him!

What happened to Antano Gist, why did he attack Roderick, what did Roderick do that caused his people on the ship to suddenly betray?

At this time, a warship suitable for the river appeared behind the merchant ship, waving the dragon flag of the royal family!

The man at the head, Langton, had never seen it.

Another accident?

Just as he was about to save people, Roderick on the merchant ship found the warship in the rear, and let out a loud shout, cutting off the bottom of the river arranged by Antano Gist one after another, and then ordered the soldiers to pull up the barrage.

"Roderick Fox, you can't run away, hand over the royal treasure!"

The commander of the battleship shouted loudly with his sword.

On the merchant ship, Roderick understood that the matter had been revealed, and his gloomy expression swept over his subordinates. But they can't tell who is a traitor.

"We're on the shore!

The commander ordered the merchant ship to quickly dock with crossbow bolts and flying stones, and then landed on the reeds hidden by Antano Gist, and as soon as the ship was hit head-on by the crossbowmen, Roderick's soldiers suffered heavy losses before they could react.

Falling step by step into the enemy's calculations, Roderick has gone mad.

"Let's get out!"

However.

He is just a martial artist, proficient in military affairs, knows tactics, and is a little worse than ordinary nobles for strategy and calculation, even because of his knightly background.

Antano Gist quickly pulled out the reeds.

As soon as the fire is burned, it is to cooperate with magic to try to wipe out Roderick and the others!

"No!"

The soldiers under his command are all fellow villagers brought out of their hometowns, trained into hundreds of elite battles, and have exhausted the savings of the Fox family for generations, a fire, in the reeds, and ordinary people who have failed to break through the transcendent are all screaming and being burned to death!

Roderick was distressed.

Believing in the big sword in his hand, he was angry and could only burst out with all his strength, leading the transcendents under his command to rush out of the reeds burning with raging fire.

Immediately afterward, he ran headlong into the formation of soldiers commanded by Antano Gist.

"Antano Gist?" Roderick was furious: "We have no grudges, why did you ambush me?"

Antano Gist calmly faced the battle: "For the Empire, for the Royalty, for Lord Aldous August!"

Roderick understands that it is useless to say anything now.

Only fight to the death!

On the battleship of the canal, standing with a sword, the graceful short-bearded middle-aged commanded the soldiers to bypass the burning fire to illuminate the reeds around the darkness, and walked into the battle formation under the protection of the strong men under his command, and said in a deep voice: "Roderick Fox, I will give you one last chance." ”

"Hand over the treasure you stole from!"

Roderick, who was surrounded by enemies, did not answer when he heard this, but just glanced around with cold eyes, looked at his subordinates behind him, and then glanced at the package behind him.

In the end, he didn't say anything, or burst into power to swing his sword and charge!

Seeing this, Lan Dun thought silently for a moment, and then did not intend to save people.

Francis Thomas, an archer who was born in the middle of the country and had extraordinary strength, and who had gone to the different planes to study with his military exploits, stood up from the short-bearded middle-aged man and saw him draw his bow and arrows.

At the next thought, Roderick was hit by an arrow in the back of his heart.

But he has a strong physique and strength.

Didn't die directly because of this.

Seeing this, Antano Gist did not command the soldiers to besiege, but rushed over with a sword to grab the merit.

"Roderick, I'll take your leader!"

"Dreaming!"

Once he decides on something, the stubborn Roderick will desperately complete it, and although the battle has repeatedly fallen into disadvantage, and the soldiers have been killed and wounded, there are still many loyal transcendents around him.

I also have the opportunity to go back and see my mother, wife and children!

Go back anyway!

"Follow me!"

Antano Gist was born into an aristocracy, and although his military talent and strength were not weak, he was pampered after all, and he did not have the ruthlessness of an officer like Roderick.

As soon as the momentum was weak, he was repelled in embarrassment.

Because the soldiers lost their command, Roderick rushed with his men, which also caused the formation of the soldiers under the command of Antano Gist to collapse.

"Whoosh~" "Whoosh~" "Whoosh~"

Cold arrows were fired, and Francis Thomas shot calmly, turning Roderick into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye.

Because he was carrying a secret treasure on his back, he wanted to avoid items, and the feather arrow was looking for the vital puncture.

There was even one that penetrated the helmet and was nailed to the back of the head!

Heaven to the left, warriors to the right, and Roderick Fox is still charging forcefully even with his last breath!

He is a real fighter!

But Antano Gist also saw that he was the last of the crossbows.

broke out with a lot of fighting spirit and rushed up again.

The sword is up!

Heads fall!

"Lord Roderick!" "Your Excellency!" "No!" "Get out of here!"

Seeing the loyal monarch Roderick Fawkes being beheaded by Antano Gist, the many transcendents who followed him immediately went crazy and launched a fierce attack despite the crossbow arrows of the pursuers, causing Antano Gist to flee in confusion.

And Roderick's transcendent snatched back his body, calmed down, and continued to break through and escape.

When the opportunity came, Langton suddenly appeared on the canal behind Antano Gist, Francis Thomas, and others.

Operational forces launch a series of bombardments.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom~"

"What's going on?" Suddenly attacked, and found a mysterious person flying in the sky, the short-bearded middle-aged man hurriedly drew his sword and ordered all the transcendents and soldiers to guard behind him, and then asked loudly: "Who is Your Excellency?"

Wearing a mask and performing a transformation spell to turn into a stout mage, Langton was not afraid of being recognized, and swaggered and asked, "Who are you?"

The short-bearded middle-aged man said loudly: "I'm Aldous August!"

"Why are you attacking the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Imperial Family? Don't even think about leaving without giving an explanation today!"

"Aldous August?" the stout mage in Langton's disguise sneered and asked, "I heard you know the whereabouts of a treasure?"

"Hand over the treasure now!, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Even if you dare to peep into the royal treasure?"

Aldous August was furious, and whispered to Antano Gist to continue to hunt down Roderick's remnants, ordering him to recapture the treasure, and then led his men to attack Lanton.

Lanton: "You think I'm going to face you head-to-head?"

"Accept the curse!"
