Volume 14 The War of Kings!Chapter 3 is intended

"The news just came that the Lord of the Earth Tower and the Chief Monk of the Mage Guild Niorid have been killed. "Andres Paladin steadily walked up to Boris and told the astonishing news.

"What?" Boris's hand tightening his sword slightly, he turned his head sideways and asked, "The members of the Council of the Dead who stormed the temple this time...... Is it that powerful?"

It's not that he's making a fuss, but because of this temple attack and defense battle, it's obvious that the Mage Guild has made all the preparations, and completely occupies the location, and it seems that it is generally going according to plan, and even now there are people from their Holy See to contain part of the power of the Council of the Dead, which should be said to be very thorough.

But now that two masters of the Mage Guild have been killed at once, one of whom is still a chief monk, which means that the inside of the temple has long been out of control, and it may have even been captured at this time.

The situation is far less rosy than previously thought.

And, at this moment, the Episcopal Church of Landiston, which has penetrated into the temple, will not also encounter any danger?

Andrés seemed to see what he was thinking, and immediately said: "Lord Bishop is powerful, even if a strong man like the black dragon Nimbast and Sharoman are not his opponents, we don't need to worry about him. ”

Boris nodded, indeed, to what extent is the strength of Bishop Landiston, I'm afraid no one in the Holy See knows for sure, he dares to enter the temple alone, he must have fully considered it, right?

"But there's one thing that's worth noting. ”

Andrés pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Two masters of the Mage Guild have died, this news should have passed for a while until now, it stands to reason that the people of the Dark Council should have already gotten what they should have taken, and they should have retreated long ago at this moment, but they are still inside, the situation looks very wrong, I can't believe that their purpose is just to seize the Horn of the Abyss." ”

Boris thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they are still looking for the Horn of the Abyss, or maybe the mage will do it in advance, so they can't withdraw for a while?"

Andres shook his head and said, "No, the people of the Council of the Dead are not stupid, they must have received accurate information in advance before they dare to carry out this operation, and the mage will let the bait be where it should be in order to catch enough fish." ”

Boris was stunned and frowned, "Oh, you're saying they actually have other plans?"

Andres nodded and said, "It should be so." ”

"What proof do you have for such a judgment?"

Andrés said in a deep voice: " This time we have determined that the Council of the Dead has sent a total of two teams, one team is responsible for attacking the temple, and the other team is responsible for responding, because they have many more thieves than us, and the communication methods are also diverse, so although the two teams are separated, but they must have a way to communicate closely with each other at any time, so we only need to look at the reaction of one team to judge the general situation of the other team, and until now, the team responsible for receiving has still not moved, which means that there is no problem with the team in the temple。 ”

Boris looked at it with a grim face, his brain reacted quickly, and he immediately realized what the problem was.

Now that the forces of the Mage Guild in the temple have been defeated, the people of the Council of the Dead should have already obtained the Abyssal Horn at this moment, but they are not in a hurry to leave, which is enough to show that they should have another purpose, and it will definitely be more important than seizing the Abyssal Corner.

Even, this may be their real purpose

However, his brows gradually relaxed again, but what is the plan of the Council of the Dead, in short, this matter is only a matter of the Mage Society, and it has nothing to do with him, if the Mage will be weakened even more, it will only be a good thing for the Holy See, right?

"My lord, after this return, the Monks' Council will decide the successor of the fallen Monks, right?" Andres suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the matter in front of him.

Boris was very sensitive to this question, and his sharp gaze fell on Andres's face, and he said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

"Your Excellency has fought with the Bishop, but until now, you have not performed enough feats, but I have heard that Alfred seems to have killed one or two thieves who came to commit it......" Andres looked at himself under Boris's gaze. If you don't do much after this battle, you will inevitably lose a lot of points in the Bishop's heart, and although this will not affect your position at the moment, you should be well aware that a large part of the voice in the choice of the successor to the Monk is in the hands of the Bishop. ”

Boris almost immediately understood the deep meaning of Andrés's words.

Becoming a prefect monk was what he was all about, and he was always moving towards it.

However, it is undeniable that all this depends not only on seniority, but also on military achievements, if you can kill some important members of the Council of the Dead here and win enough merits, then there must be no suspense in being promoted to the head monk, right?

He paced two steps in place, sighed, and said, "But we didn't know where the rats of the Council of the Dead were hiding, and there was no way the Mage Guild would let us send people around to search for them. ”

Andres shook his head and said, "No, we'll have a chance soon." He stretched out his hand, pointed, and said, "Look, my lord." ”

Boris looked over, and in front of them, one mage after another was stepping into the teleportation array, and in just a moment, about thirty mages and their servants entered the temple, and two-thirds of the mages were waiting outside.

Boris narrowed his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Andres said in a deep voice: "In any case, these mages are enough to be called a powerful force, if it is said that only those people in the temple can destroy them, it is almost impossible without the premise of the king master, not to mention that the mage will have a king master standing here, under the effect of the 'elemental boundary', their combat power will only be stronger now, if I am a member of the Council of the Dead, I will definitely not let these people pass smoothly, but at least interfere with it." ”

Boris said impatiently: "What does that have to do with us, should we go up and help? Since it is interference, then there will definitely not be many people sent by the Council of the Dead, and the people of the Mage Council can solve it themselves, right?"

Andres smiled mysteriously and said, "However, we can take the initiative to force the people of the Council of the Dead to show all their strength. ”

"Oh?" Boris said, "How?"

"Under normal circumstances, what is the best course of action if you want to harass the mage to do this?"

Boris replied without hesitation: "Of course, it is the destruction of the teleportation array." ”

"No, the teleportation array is heavily defended, and the mage will have most of their attention there, and if they can do it, there's no reason for those people to wait until now. Andrés patted the hilt of his sword and said, "If it were me, I would definitely try to find the captain of this attack who is in charge of the unified deployment of the Mage Guild, and it is best to be able to kill him." ”

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, "If the people of the Council of the Dead kill him, then the attack of the Mage Council will definitely be greatly reduced, although the impact on the mages is not fundamental, but the people of the Council of the Dead are already able to explain the past achievements." ”

"But now that he's hiding in the crowd, how can he let the people of the Council of the Dead find out?"

The Mage Guild has also made a lot of preparations this time, and the captain has never really appeared.

"So, we're going to do the Council of the Dead a small favor. Andrés bowed to Boris and said, "As long as the Lord gives me enough power, I will go and talk to the Mage Council as an emissary, and they will definitely find the highest person to receive me." In this way, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to point out to the people of the Council of the Dead who is in charge of the Mage Society, and they will definitely not give up killing this person. He's the bait. ”

Boris looked at the paladin for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Andres, fortunately you are not my enemy. ”

Andres lowered his posture, bowed his head, and said: "My subordinates don't dare to hide it, my father used to be a great nobleman in the dark country, and later he was inspired by my lord to join the embrace of light, and I know some of their things relatively well." ”

"Oh, is that so? No wonder. ”

Boris knew very well how difficult it was for a person who was once a nobleman from the Dark Realm to become a paladin in the Holy See, but he also vaguely knew about it, and it seemed that the previous pope was still in power.

"Then, let you go with the oracle with my Templar insignia badge. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Andrés selected a few swordsmen, made his way to the mages, and told him what he was about.

His move was not abrupt, but rather pandered to the traditions of the allies, and the fact that the people of the Holy See came to greet him first, was a matter of great honor to the Mages, who felt respected and had a good impression of the paladin.

"Is this the Holy See's Paladin?" a mage in his forties, dressed in ordinary fashion, walked up to Andres and politely replied, "Thank you for your help from the Holy See, don't you know if there is anything we need to do?"

These mages are not the same as those of Merlin, they belong to the faction of Adriman, they are well aware of the gap between the mages and the Holy See, so they are not so arrogant.

Andrés kept a noble smile and said, "It's our Holy See's duty to help our allies, but I'm here to remind you that based on our intelligence, we have found that there are two teams of members of the Council of the Dead who attacked the temple this time, one team is responsible for the main attack, and the other team is in the rear to sabotage and respond. The number is unknown at this time. ”

The mage looked immediately cautious.

"We just learned that one of our high-level paladins died under their sneak attack, which shows that their team also has some powerful masters, and they will probably not be able to help but come out to destroy the magic array, for fear that you will be defenseless, so come over to warn you.

The mage looked grateful and said, "Thank you for the reminder. ”

Andres smiled slightly, and he could tell from the mage's eyes that the other party obviously didn't take his words to heart.

......

"My lord, aren't you going to destroy the teleportation array?" a rugged-looking knight yelled at the black-haired man.

"Destroying the teleportation array? This is a crazy idea, what do you want to do against dozens of mages and more than a hundred clergy?

"But, even if we interfere with them, at least when we get back to the council, those old guys won't accuse us of doing nothing."

"I won't order something that doesn't make sense, huh, wait a minute, who is that person?" The black-haired man stood up suddenly, his eyes squinting into the distance, as if a paladin was talking to someone important in the Mage Society.

Hmm? That person is the person in charge of this operation of the Mage Society, right?

No, does the Holy See seem to have done too much this time, is it a trap?

The black-haired man touched his chin, but now that he knew this person, he still had to try it, even if it was worth paying some price.

"Jean, come here. ”

Qin Mo walked to his side silently.

The black-haired man stretched out his hand and said, "Did you see that mage?"

Jean nodded.

"Find a way to kill him, and then you ......," he said in a sudden low voice.

Even Qin, who doesn't like to talk very much, showed a slight surprise at this time,

"Aren't you a little surprised?" the black-haired man smiled smugly, "Yes, since you want to interfere with them, you might as well interfere a little more thoroughly, and also take the initiative in our hands, they would never have thought that we would have such a hand, you can use this opportunity to kill some more mages, it can be regarded as a small help to Ulak and them, if he can come back alive, I must remember my favor." ”

Qin said: "How do we get there?"

"Of course there is a way," the black-haired man pointed to the two people behind him, and said, "You don't know them, let me introduce you, this is Patlem from the Deep Blue Thieves Guild, Master of Disguise, he pointed to another female thief, this is Blair, who is also skilled in disguise, and is especially good at putting makeup on others, we were able to bypass the sentry of the Mage Guild to get here this time, thanks to their help." ”

Jean looked over and the two thieves nodded at her.

"This time you are only in charge of the action, you don't have to worry about anything, they will help you. The black-haired man snapped his fingers and said, "Morton, come here, you are in charge of this operation." ”

A man of about thirty years old walked over, and he bent down vigorously at the black-haired man, and said, "Yes, master, please rest assured. ”

"Since someone wants us to go out, let's just play bigger, and I'll order some of the men to cover for you and attract the attention of the clergy of the Holy See. ”

The rugged knight looked shocked, "My lord, how can we have the ability to pick up Baron Ulak again?"

"If you don't have the ability, then you won't answer," the black-haired man smiled slightly, and said, "Do you think we can really get them out of the encirclement? Don't be naïve, how can we escape from the realm of the Mage Society? Don't forget, there is a king above our heads."

The rough knight was dumbfounded, his mind had become extremely confused, if they weren't here to answer, then what were they here for?

"Oh. That's right. The black-haired man seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said, "This is for you." He threw a scroll at the piano and said with a look of pity, "I have this one on me, if there are many mages on the other side, then you can use it." ”

......

"Andres, why haven't they acted yet?" Boris waited for a long time, but he hadn't seen any movement from the Council of the Dead.

"My lord, please don't worry," Andres looked calm, he was not affected in any way, "I dare say that they must have seen what we just did, even if it wasn't according to my assumptions, they should have made other moves, and the quieter they are now, the more violent their actions will be." ”

At this time, they did not see that under the disguise of several thieves, a group of about eight people, including Jean, walked towards the crowd of mages.

If there are too many people, then it will attract unwanted attention, and if there are too few people, then the plan will be more difficult to execute, so eight people is already the best match they can make up at this time.

Morton walked in the lead, and several mages looked at them a few times, but turned their heads without looking too much.

Soon, they approached the person who was suspected to be the leader of these mages, Jean had already grasped the hilt of the sword, and now there were only a dozen short steps away, for her, only a few more steps were needed, and she could easily take this person's life.

But at this time, a mage stopped in front of them.

This mage looked young, and there was something in his eyes that belonged to what was called youthful blood.

"Who are you?"

Morton had dealt with such people many times, and he replied calmly without panicking, "We are mages from the Tower of Fire. ”

The mage looked them up and down suspiciously, and said, "I'm also from the Tower of Fire, how come I've never seen you?"

Morton's expression remained unchanged and said, "I haven't seen you either." ”

The boy stared at him for a moment, then he suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, I'm from the Water Tower. ”

He laughed, stretched out his hand, and said, "Just kidding with you, don't mind." ”

Morton also reached out to shake his hand with the other party, and said in a slightly complaining tone: "At this time, I hope that this kind of boring joke will not be made in the future." ”

The young man smiled playfully and said, "I'm afraid there will be no future." ”

Morton was startled, he was just about to make a move, suddenly, a scorching breath instantly spread from his wrist, and in a moment, the whole person was swallowed by a fiery red heat wave, and turned into ashes on the spot.

The young man took a step back, the impetuousness and immaturity on his face were completely gone, replaced by a capable and calm temperament, and he said loudly: "It's a spy, do it." ”

......

......
