Chapter Twenty-One: Mysterious John!
George VI wore the general physical characteristics of the southwest part of the continent, with a high nose, broad eyebrows, and a muscular body, and he walked with a tigerish style. And that Mr. John has thin eyebrows, long black hair and a shawl, and although his figure is not thin, compared with George VI, he can be said to be slightly small.
Although this Mr. John was not as imposing as George VI, he had great respect for him. As soon as Mr. John entered the main hall, George VI greeted him and took Mr. John's hand and said, "Mr. John, you are here, come and help me see if there is any flaw in this plan."
John smiled slightly, and the whole person was like a breeze, which made people feel extremely comfortable. I saw Mr. John say, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry so much, this expedition will definitely be successful."
George VI sighed and said, "Although Sir said so, my heart is still uneasy. After all, we are facing the second most powerful country on the mainland. ”
"Hahaha, Your Majesty is too worried. After the first battle, Ambrosia and Moslian were greatly damaged, and I estimate that they will not be able to come up with troops to compete with His Majesty in two or three months. John said confidently.
When George VI heard John's words, he couldn't help but let go of a little worry. "I am really relieved to have a gentleman's words. Sir, when do you think we are going to send troops?"
"I think it's best to go now!" John replied immediately.
George VI frowned and said, "But sir, is it too hasty to send troops now?" The autumn harvest has just begun, and it will take time for the vassals' armies to assemble. ”
"Your Majesty, this matter is not too late. If the fighter plane is delayed and the other party learns the news, then the meaning of the raid will be lost. John said anxiously. And we don't have to gather our troops at Roland, we just go to Fort Collin. After that, attack Turga and take a stronghold first. After that, before the onset of winter, the whole territory of Esis was wary. ”
George VI shook his head and said, "Sir thought too well, but those vassals are not my direct army, and it will take at least ten days for them to assemble. Moreover, if this autumn harvest is abandoned, not only will the army of those vassals lack military rations, but our military rations will only be enough for twenty days, and with the length of the march, it will be a bit too much to take Tulga in ten days. ”
When John saw that George VI wanted to delay the dispatch of troops, he immediately explained to George VI: "Your Majesty, the autumn harvest is not important, as long as we take Tulga, are we afraid that there will be no food at that time?"
George VI nodded hesitantly. After pondering for a while, he finally sighed and said, "Well, I'm sure Mr. John won't hurt me." I'll mobilize my vassals immediately!"
John said happily: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, and I will do my best to assist Your Majesty!"
At night, Roland City stopped its activities early, and the citizens went home one after another, creating people and making people, and conspiracies and conspiracies. And in a tall tower in the southwest of the royal palace of Roland City, there was a faint noise.
John sat in the tower, gazing at the stars through the openwork top overhead. There were no clouds tonight, and the stars were shining brightly in the sky, as if they were moving. John was dressed in an ornate robe with all sorts of strange drawings on it. Sitting quietly in the middle of the room, there was a large hole in his head, and the starlight shone through the hole, pouring out on John's body completely.
While staring at the starry sky, John wrote and drew with a pen on the paper in front of him. In a few moments, the paper was full of all kinds of bizarre symbols.
After a long time, John exhaled, withdrew his gaze from heaven, and looked down at the symbol he had written. At the same time, the mouth muttered: "Mercury retrograde, Aries shifts, earth signs turn into water signs...... Big murderer!"
"How can it be a murderer?" John looked at the star map he had drawn in front of him in shock, and the result was completely unexpected. "I obviously calculated that the Anmuxi Kingdom was a big murderer before, how could this be? Could it be that the fate of the Kingdom of Ammuxi has not yet come to an end?"
Or maybe this one who brought the end...... Not George VI?" John frowned, thinking quickly in his heart.
John looked up, and the starry sky was still so quiet, as if there was no change in the slightest. John looked at the vast, mysterious starry sky and sighed deeply.
After a long time, John took out a very old-looking star map from the bookshelf next to him, and carefully compared and analyzed the two star maps.
Syllable! This is the sound of a pen falling to the ground. John looked at the two star maps in disbelief, his mouth trembling and making a staccato sound, "Exactly ...... Same!"
Suddenly, John waved his hand, and the stars in the sky suddenly burst into light. Starlight shone in through the gap in the roof, and the room that was not very bright suddenly brightened. And in the light of the star, a figure appeared in front of John.
John looked at the figure and said solemnly, "LeBlanc, what are you doing here?"
The figure came out of the shadows little by little, and sure enough, it was LeBlanc.
"John, I haven't seen you for so long, my vigilance has lowered a lot, I have been here for so long and you only found out." LeBlanc chuckled, her seductive red lips glowing mysteriously in the starlight.
"Hmph, I'll ask you again. If you don't give a satisfactory answer, you can't imagine that it would be so easy to leave. John looked at LeBlanc with a bad face.
LeBlanc saw John's right hand clenched, and a little starlight slowly gathered in John's hand. LeBlanc put down his relaxed expression and said solemnly to John, "Let me remind you that I have chosen Alan Ouranos. If you're really going to make him an opponent, we've done one. ”
"Alan Ouranos? Duke of Essis?" John muttered to himself.
"Not bad! John, I advise you to give up George VI. I'm sure you can see that George VI is ambitious, talented, indecisive, and can't achieve great things. LeBlanc said to John. With your talents, you can go anywhere in the world, so why be tied to George VI. ”
John couldn't help but smile amusefully as he looked at LeBlan, who was trying to persuade him. "LeBlanc, I didn't expect you to lobby me for that Ouranos, it seems that you are very satisfied with him."
LeBlan's eyes widened, and she wanted to retort. But his eyes rolled and he smiled. "This man is not a hero, but so far, I am very satisfied with what he has done. How about you, would you like to come and see me?"
John gave LeBlanc a moment of thought about LeBlanc's suggestion, but in the end he shook his head.
"You're just too dependent on those nobles. Wouldn't it be better if we could keep the nobility in our hands?"
"Don't underestimate the strength of these nobles, maybe the strength of one or two people is not enough in our eyes, but they are the rulers of this continent after all. If we provoke the disgust of the nobles, even we magicians can't withstand that pressure. Charlemagne five hundred years ago, not to mention, two hundred years ago the Scarlet Rose incident, you won't not remember. LeBlanc said solemnly, as if he still had lingering thoughts about the past.
John nodded, agreeing with LeBlanc's words.
"Still, I wanted to see how far I could go. If one day I'm cornered, I'll come back to you. ”
LeBlanc shrugged his shoulders and tried to say something, but immediately realized that this was a bad habit he had learned from Alan, and a nameless fire was born in his heart.
"Hmph, whatever you want." LeBlanc suddenly had no intention of talking, and replied casually. With that, the staff flicked, and the figure disappeared into the shadows.
John quietly sensed for a moment, and when he was sure that LeBlanc had really left, he dissipated the starlight in his hand. The stars in the sky dimmed again, and the room was dark again.
