Chapter 166: Courageous and ruthless
In the palace of the imperial capital of the 'Great Eagle', the old king's face was sad, the huge crisis squeezed out the last trace of brilliance on his body, the grace and determination of the past was long gone, he sat alone on the king's throne in a daze, and even the attendants who served him on weekdays were blasted out by him, as for those squishy grandsons, he sent his henchmen to secretly send out of the imperial city, although these mud can't support the wall, and they can't be used, but they are also their own seedlings, how can they bear to watch them die in the upcoming war, so he sent a powerful shadow guard overnight to escort these princes toThe Holy Mountain of the Church of Light is on the way, where it is hoped that it will be protected by His Holiness the Pope.

It's just that in this batch of escape lists, there is no Helena's name, because this only granddaughter who is valued by him is assisting Marshal Wellington in formulating various strategies and deployments to deal with the enemy, and he is not involved at all, he has a certain number in his heart, if the 'Great Eagle' does not die, he will definitely give up the king's throne to Helena and let her be the next female king, as for the country's ruin, those plans will no longer matter. So he involved Helena directly, so that she could most intuitively appreciate his good intentions. At the same time, the crisis is an excellent test......
In an office of the temporary headquarters before the war, Helena and the marshal with a calm face were staring at the battle map on the table and making plans. It didn't fail to give him a sense of emaciation, more of the current excitement of the enemy, and a qualified soldier could not be afraid of the strength of the enemy. He must have the hard work and ambition to be strong when he encounters strength, and treating it calmly and not being afraid of danger are the characteristics of this marshal.
Therefore, at this time, he was dressed in a military uniform and neatly draped, holding a quill in his hand, constantly deducing various situations that might happen next on the map, and constantly making records in his notebook.
When he saw the port of Liverpool on the map, he subconsciously tapped his finger there and said to Helena, "Your Royal Highness." If he can't get to settle Duke William there, then we have devised a plan to deal with the enemy. It's likely to be self-defeating, and I'm hesitating whether to go ahead with the original plan?" Obviously, the Marshal Wellington's trust in a foreign student was basically close to zero, so he did not hesitate to express his doubts.
"Your Excellency, Marshal. I have complete trust in this friend of mine. I can't make you trust him that way, but trust me, and you must remember how His Majesty the King asked you?" It was the Marshal of the Protector who questioned Haoran today, so Helena decided not to bother with him for now. The most important thing is to formulate countermeasures against the enemy.
"Ahem, Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't mean anything else, after all, that little guy is too young, even if he has participated in some missions, it is just some simple mercenary missions, and the survival of our 'Great Eagle Empire' is in the hands of a foreign child, isn't this a bit too child's play?"
"Marshal Wellington is concerned about the safety of the 'Great Eagle', which is understandable, but this plan was formulated by His Majesty the King himself, are you still doubting His Majesty?" Helena saw that Marshal Wellington was not actually questioning the old king, he was actually suspicious of himself, after all, he was just a woman, and he was a princess, but since ancient times, the real political center has not been accessible to women, so Wellington's performance is really normal. Sister Na was born in an imperial family, and fell into the whirlpool of imperial power struggle, if she can't even see this, then even if she finally sits on the throne of the king, she will not do much.
Helena paused when she said this, and finally told Marshal Wellington the truth that she whispered in her grandfather's ear that day, "Actually, you can't blame the marshal for being suspicious, there was an emergency that day, Helena just whispered a few words to her grandfather, but she didn't say Haoran's identity out loud, after all, there were many people that day, in order to avoid the ears and eyes of those 'people with hearts' in the palace, please forgive me." There are only you and me in this office today, so I'll tell you who he really is. ”
"Oh, looking at his young age, and he is an Oriental face, isn't he a simple international student?" Marshal Wellington didn't investigate Haoran, but the information he got was all modified by Dean Dmied, so the information in his hand showed that this young man named Chen Haoran was just a twenty-year-old student with strength at the level of a senior magician, so he would later appoint such a 'little fresh meat' to the king to go to William's fiefdom The prison guards were incredulous, and now it seemed that there must be a major flaw in the information they had at hand.
Helena stroked her drooping blonde hair and said to Marshal Wellington, "The marshal should know about the Cerro Archmage, one of the three major magisters, right?"
Wellington nodded in understanding.
"This friend of mine is his apprentice!"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the Grand Magister of Cerro is indeed admirable, and it is indeed beyond Ben Shuai's expectations to be his apprentice, but ...... The apprentices of the Grand Magus are not necessarily extraordinary people, please make it clear!" "Yes, who said that if someone has a great teacher, he must also be a great person?
"Hehe, you have a point. But do you know, two years ago, which capable person from my 'Great Eagle Empire' participated in the once-in-a-century 'Trial of Gods and Demons'?" Helena smiled and said another commendable deed.
"Oh, I don't know. Could it be the little friend we are talking about?" Wellington was a little shocked this time, because the entry requirements of this trial were too harsh, and only a great sword master or great magician under the age of thirty could enter. Not to mention the 'Great Eagle' who has been weak for many years, even the Light Sanctuary and the Dark Sanctuary may not have a few more such young masters. The cultivator's talent, perseverance, loyalty to the forces, etc., are all indispensable, and then they are screened layer by layer, and there are even fewer left, and the resources used by this force will never be less, and there must be exercises and teachers suitable for the cultivator's cultivation. Therefore, it is not easy to cultivate such a young master.
"Not only that, but the team he led also won the championship of this 'Trial Mission'. Helena is still very proud when she talks about Haoranlai. Although none of the other friends of the 'Ten Clan' were eligible to participate in this trial, when they talked about it, they were all proud because of their best friend. I was lucky enough to win this championship.
"So his strength is not what it seems. He's a young, powerful archmagician?" Wellington's eyes widened when he heard this, a great magician who was less than twenty years old, this was definitely shocking news.
"No, you're not right, he's not a great magician. "Helena began to dig holes......
"Then how did he get into the 'Divine and Demon Fantasy Realm'? and how did he win the championship?" the marshal was stunned, this is not scientific.
"He's a powerful sorcerer now!" replied Helena playfully.
"What? Magician? How is this possible, there are historical records in the entire Western continent today. There is no genius who has received the title of Magus at the age of twenty, Her Highness Helena. Are all of these things you said true?" Wellington is not calm this time, such a demonic talent must be the object of competition by major forces, because the future achievements of such a genius are absolutely limitless, such a genius is actually a good friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and his teacher is the Grand Magister of Cerro who is admired by thousands of people, and at the same time he also participated in the 'God and Demon Trial', and his team has also achieved excellent results, then this person's energy can definitely be called huge, after all, the people who are qualified to enter the illusion realm are the elites of the major forces, Or simply the future successor, so that he can train and fight with such a group of people to the end, then these people can definitely be a great help to him, and only then Marshal Wellington is completely relieved, it seems that the king also takes a fancy to him, so he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
The marshal nodded to accept Helena's words, but then he said to Sister Na: "In this way, this marshal is too worried, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know what your arrangements are for the 'Angry Lion Mercenary Group'?"
"Don't worry, those three of my friends have brought the 'sincerity' of the royal family, and the other party has sent back a message, once the battle begins, their travelogue tactics will definitely exhaust the enemy. "When Helena learned that the three empires had unilaterally torn up the alliance agreement, she sent someone to inform the 'three' who had trained in the 'Raging Lion Mercenary Group'. After all, as a mercenary group, their national concept has begun to fade, they only recognize magic crystals and gold coins, and they can definitely be called a model of 'milk is a mother', but now that the enemy is current, the royal family cannot prepare a large amount of commission to hire them to serve the country at the first time, so Helena begged the old king to write a letter, and then forwarded it to the head of the 'Lionheart' through the 'three', and the letter promised that once the invasion of foreign enemies is successfully blocked this time, then the promise in the letter will be fulfilled afterwards. And this kind of thing is not limited to the 'Angry Lion' mercenary group, she has also sent the same letter to several other high-ranking mercenary groups.
"That's good, all that's left is to restart the procedure of the 'Knights of the Round Table', I sincerely hope that Your Highness will think twice, once they are activated, the civil strife of the year is likely to break out again!" "When talking about the 'Knights of the Round Table', Wellington's expression froze obviously, because these knights can be called heroes or madmen, although the members of the newly formed 'Knights of the Round Table' are no longer the twelve 'Knights of the Round Table' under King Arthur's command back then, but they are also all back then' The descendants of the Knights' survivors of the melee still uphold the will of their ancestors, and they have friendships, grudges, and even religious beliefs, so Wellington is really reluctant to use their unstable factors again.
"Rest assured, Lord Marshal, that friend of mine has left me a little 'gadget' that will not be a problem to control them. As long as they fight bravely and serve their country faithfully, they will be fine. However, if any of them bring up the old story again, or if the war breaks out again, then I'm sorry, and I will mercilessly erase any trace of their existence!"
Marshal Wellington couldn't help but feel a chill in the back of his neck when he heard Helena's words, and he regretted that he had despised the disrespectful words of Her Royal Highness the princess at the beginning, "I don't see that this girl is still a ruthless child, but in this way, she is much stronger than her best brothers, such a bold and ruthless woman is the best choice for the future of the 'Great Eagle Empire'." ”......
