In the dim and misty light of the candles, a young nobleman said indignantly: "My mother, the Duke of Saberlin, provided them with food, clothing, and weapons, but they actually gave way to the defense, and directly caused the members of the Council of the Dead to wreak havoc in our territory, and countless people were reduced to homelessness overnight.

"I understand your feelings very well, and I know that what has happened is unfair to you, and I sympathize with you for that," said Countess Alberta, who rolled her eyes and asked casually, "What did you say about the name of the chief monk?"

"Landiston, Bishop Landiston," the young nobleman frowned, as if in unspeakable disgust, "yes, that's the name!"

The countess gently picked up the glass, put it to her red lips, and said, "Oh, yes?"

The young nobleman poured a large sip of wine down his neck, and then said with drunken eyes: "Yes." ”

The countess nodded quietly, and after a while, she sighed and said, "I know that you have suffered too much wrong, and I am also sorry for you, but you must know that it is not so simple to go to meet the Pope, and the Pope has to deal with heavy affairs, and there are many ...... every day to see his nobles like you."

The young nobleman put down his glass and pleaded: "Miss Count, I know that you must have a way, and I hope you will help us for the sake of us being all nobles of the Berial family, you know, no inquisition can take a charge against a bishop except the Pope." ”

The countess's face was full of sympathy, and she seemed to be puzzled for a moment, and finally said, "Well, I'll try it, but." I would like to ask you to stay here a little longer, for Landiston is not only a bishop, but also a chief monk, and there are so many things involved that cannot be solved in a moment, so I would like you to rest in my realm for two more days. She picked up her glass. He smiled lightly and said, "Come, I'll toast you again." ”

"Good," said the young nobleman, with a happy face, hurriedly picked up his glass and touched it with the countess, whose flamboyant figure looked so seductive in the dim light.

Under the frequent persuasion of the countess, the young nobleman, who had completely relaxed, finally slowly got drunk, and the etiquette and grace that he had deliberately maintained were gone, and he kept smashing the table with the metal cup in his hand. There was a clattering noise while spitting loudly, "Damn Landiston, damn ......"

Listen to those foul language. The smile on the countess's face became more and more exciting, but the gaze in her slender eyes grew colder and colder.

Soon. The young nobleman finally collapsed to the ground drunk.

The countess smiled. She snorted. He said to the maid next to him, "Go." Find him seven or eight **s**. The maid glanced at the young nobleman's thin body. He hesitated. "Seven or eight?" are you sure?"

The female uncle frowned and thought about it. He waved his hand and said, "Okay." Then add two more. Ten. That's ten. Enough should be enough. ”

The maid was stunned. With a strange face, he said, "Yes...... My lord. ”

The countess rubbed the ring on her finger. With a bright smile, he said, "That's it." He would be able to live here for ten days and a half months. In a word. I must not allow anyone to tarnish my future husband's reputation. ”

The maid glanced again at the young nobleman who was lying on the ground muttering. But this time, there was a lot of pity in his eyes.

"What, you mean that the number of the Council of the Dead is only about seventy or eighty?" Several paladin captains looked at Luo Lan in shock.

Luo Lan nodded and said, "Yes, you have all been deceived, and it is with such a small number of people that the Council of the Dead has been dealing with you so far." He wiped it on the table, spread his hands, and said, "These places are dusty, and there is no sign of water at the mouth of the well, and you have always thought that this is the most heavily defended place. In fact, there is no one living here at all. ”

Priest Evelyn asked, puzzled, "But every time Brother Mehati and I attacked, we encountered a strong resistance. This cannot be faked. ”

Luo Lan said lightly: "Brother Maihadi pursues stability, so he refuses to give up on every key pass. He scattered everyone to defend, and there were only a hundred people who could be dispatched, but the people of the Council of the Dead were much more flexible under the leadership of Saloman, and they made a lot of arrangements, and each time they pooled the number of people who could be mobilized, creating the illusion that the number of people was superior to yours, and from this point of view, he completely overpowered you in terms of intelligence. ”

Evelyn said unconvinced: "Why do you think so, is it just this dust? Isn't this too arbitrary?" Luo Lan's actions always gave her a cold, iron-blooded, and too ruthless feeling, which was incompatible with the image of the benevolent and generous bishop in her mind, so every time she couldn't help but contradict Luo Lan, in her heart, the fallen Brother Maihadi could be regarded as an ideal superior.

"If that's all there is to it, I certainly can't say for sure. Luo Lan smiled slightly, and said: "From your dictation, I have found that many of the characteristics and fighting skills of many people who have fought with you have been repeated, at that time, I suspected that the Council of the Dead was in a suspicious formation, and the reason why I occupied this mineral deposit was to verify this conjecture in my heart, if the Council of the Dead was understaffed, then they would definitely avoid fighting us, and now, I have obtained this answer." ”

Evelyn looked at Luo Lan in amazement and said, "My lord, what if your inference is wrong?"

Luo Lan said calmly, "Then, we are going to prepare for a final fight to the death with the Council of the Dead here." ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

"However, the point is not here, I found a very interesting thing from it," Luo Lan smiled deeply, and said, "In the previous battles, almost no one from the Council of the Dead was killed, which is one of the reasons why I think they are understaffed, but this is actually very intriguing. With such careful care to preserve life, why did Sharoman do this?"

The crowd looked at each other, they could not understand this perverse practice, the Monks and the Council of the Dead had never tried to avoid casualties.

"From the ground information I have, there is a reason for this behavior. Luo Lan stretched out a finger and said slowly: "This Shaloman patriarch used to serve in the Western Continent, and he didn't have any foundation in the Central Continent, and he just arrived here and had a shaky foothold, if the team members suffered too many casualties, then the situation would be extremely unfavorable to him, so he tried his best to avoid losses." ”

Luo Lan was keenly aware that the other party's most fearful thing was likely to be internal pressure, which was Sha Luoman's weakness. It is also an unavoidable problem.

And on his side, Sepinoir is the former pope after all, and his eyes are vicious and spicy. Grasp the key to this operation at once, eliminate all his worries in advance, a solid rear and a solid internal pillar, so that his advantage in this aspect is firmly over the opponent's head. Luo Lan smiled, this battle had not yet begun, he had already gained the upper hand. He looked at the crowd and said, "It's actually very simple to break this situation, try to kill the members of the Council of the Dead and Wounded, and destroy their garrisons. They themselves will not be able to resist putting pressure on Saloman. ”

The Alfred Paladin frowned and asked, "My lord, even if we know this, but Sharoman is not willing to fight us at all when our forces are concentrated, but instead attacks the territory of our believers, so what should we do?"

Luo Lan took out a sheepskin map from the space ring, spread it on the table, and then beckoned. "Come and see." ”

And they all gathered around.

Luo Lan pointed with his finger and said, "Here, here, and here, they are all places occupied by the Council of the Dead, some of which were occupied by our Monks' Guild, but some of which are the places of residence and believers of the Council of the Dead itself. ”

The Council of the Dead was also supported by kingdoms and feudal lords, stretching from the mountains to part of the Western Continent, an entire land known as the Dark Realm by the Monks. This is the foundation on which the Council of the Dead rests. And with these, they can compete with the Monks and the Celestial God Sect in the Western Continent.

Luo Lan smiled slightly. He said, "Saloman can avoid it without fighting, but if I lead the people deep into the heart of the Council of the Dead, can they sit idly by?

Everyone looked at Luo Lan in amazement, they never expected that this Lord Bishop would have such a bold plan.

"No!" Evelyn said with a worried face, "My lord, if we go too deep, we will be surrounded by countless dark believers, and even, even ......"

Luo Lan waved his hand to stop her from continuing, his sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces, and said, "I believe that you are all determined to die, if you don't even have this adventurous spirit, how can you be called a qualified disciple?"

"My lord!" Priest Evelyn's face pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "Going deep into the dark realm of the Council of the Dead, we don't have the strength to do this at all......"

Luo Lan smiled and said: "Priest Evelyn, since we don't even believe in ourselves, and the enemy doesn't expect it, as long as we move fast enough, stay for a while and then quickly exit, they won't have time to react at all, so you can rest assured." ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to a place on the map and said, "Our goal is here!"

"Zner's Dark Duke's Land?" everyone gasped, it was already very close to the heart of the Council of the Dead, and if they were not careful, they would be wiped out.

"It is said that this is also a branch of the Council of the Dead," Luo Lan smiled lightly and said, "As for whether it is or not, we will find out if we visit once." ”

It's crazy!

Alfred felt a tingling sensation rise up his spine, spreading all the way to his cheeks, making him tremble with excitement, and now he felt that following the monk was like playing with his heartbeat, but it was also unusually exciting!

Luo Lan slammed his fist on the table and said loudly: "For a long time, the Monk Guild has been in a passive defensive position in the face of the Council of the Dead, and now, it is our turn to invade once!"

One of the paladins asked, "My lord, are we just three hundred?"

Luo Lan smiled strangely and asked rhetorically, "Three hundred warriors, isn't it enough?"

Everyone felt a rush of blood rush to their heads, and their breathing became short.

Luo Lan slowly glanced at everyone, and he said in a sonorous voice: "You must firmly remember that this time is not a sneak attack, but a counterattack!"

......
