The Beginning of Troubled Times Chapter 9: The Dark Council (2)
After entering the entrance of the village, Charles's walk was not fast. The accompanying Bloodline butler followed Charles, and along the way, people who recognized Prince Charles saluted him. The village was already small, and it was not long before the entrance to the meeting was held.
All the members of the Dark Race in the room have arrived. Although this house is called a conference room, it is just a relatively large farmhouse in the village. However, the discipline in the conference room is indeed a bit unsightly, usually these dark races are unorganized and undisciplined, and now it is impossible to make them suddenly become regular, it is difficult to make these tribes who are usually as enmity as the sea sit at this conference table without incident, and it is simply wishful thinking to expect them to abide by the discipline of the meeting.
Charles obviously understood this, so after the butler pushed open the door to the conference room for him, he walked in very indifferently. Behind him, Atik looked at the patriarchs of the various tribes sitting at the conference table, but he didn't dare to enter the door. In the past, he had imagined countless times when he would sit with these patriarchs and argue for the benefit of the rat clan, but when the real scene came, he didn't dare to face it. Atik stopped in front of the door of the conference room. But Calvin, who had been hurrying behind him, didn't notice it, and ran headlong into Atik, who was the strongest warrior in the nezumi clan. The crash knocked Atik into the conference room.
When Atik was slammed into the conference room, the otherwise noisy conference room suddenly fell silent. All eyes were on the door of the conference room. Looking at Atik, who was at a loss behind the Bloodclan butler. They all showed incredulous expressions, and finally, a tigerman covered in alcohol exclaimed, "Oh my God! I'm not drunk! I actually saw a nezumi come to this meeting. Daniel, give me a bottle of vodka. I'm going to see if I'm really drunk. As soon as he finished speaking, the lionman named Daniel next to him picked up a wine bottle on the table and smashed it on the tigerman's head. The tigerman's majestic body fell to the floor with a sound. "Eric, it looks like you're really drunk, you see you're all down. Haha............" Daniel shouted at the Tigerman on the ground. With that, the whole room burst into laughter.
"Atik, come here and sit next to me. Charles said, gesturing to an empty seat to his left.
When Atik heard Charles's voice, he cautiously walked over to Charles and sat down. All eyes in the conference room were once again focused on Atik, as if they were looking at a rare artifact. These eyes kept scanning Atik's body, and Atik felt like a knife scraping on his body, very uncomfortable. And Calvin behind him held his chest high, he felt that he could be so majestic in front of these dark race patriarchs once, even if he only lived to this day in his life, it was worth it.
"Prince Charles, may I ask who this Mr. Atik is?" asked Charles cautiously as a Dark Holy Magister, who was sitting on Charles's right.
"Oh, sorry, the Holy Magister of Georgia. Forgot to introduce it to everyone," Charles laughs. "Mr. Atik! I met him at the entrance of the village when I first arrived, and he is the patriarch of the nezumi clan. I've decided to make him a full member of our Dark Council. Do you have any opinions?"
"What? Put a nezumi on an equal footing with us. At this time, the leader of the werewolf clan under the seat shouted. "Charles, why did you make decisions for our entire Dark Council alone? ”
"By the way, Penelope, if I'm not mistaken. Iggy is your eighteenth son, and he tried to assassinate me at the entrance of the village, but he was killed by Megan Steward. Charles smiled and said to Penelope. "After the meeting for a while, remember to take his body away. Of course, I also hope that after our meeting, there will be some left of his corpse, after all, you werewolf enemies are also quite a few. ”
"What? You actually killed Iggy? I'm going to kill you. Penelope was about to rush towards Megan behind Charles. was stopped by a witch beside him. "Fool, calm down. Do you think you beat them?" said the witch.
"Your Excellency, the addition of a member of our Dark Council is such a simple decision, I'm afraid it's a bit too hasty, right?" said a man dressed as a knight.
"The big war is coming, everything is simple. Prince Charles said. "Satsuma Knights, your Knights of Damnation have always been sparsely populated, and there are only eight Knights of Damnation born in this generation. There are 30,000 people in the rat clan!" After speaking, Charles looked at everyone and continued, "Who still has an opinion to continue to mention, isn't it just for everyone to speak freely when we form this council?" After speaking, Charles's fingertips unconsciously leaked a magical power, and this magic power formed a crown and wrapped around Charles's thumb.
Everyone showed a surprised expression when they saw this crown, and even the tiger man Eric, who had fallen to the ground, stood up at this time, looking at the charming little crown, showing a look of envy. After a few moments, the little crown vanished. The entire conference room was also quiet. "Since everyone has no opinion, then the matter is settled. Charles said. "Next, we will discuss the 'Destruction Plan'. ”
"Holy Magister Georgia, you are the most respected elder in our area, I wonder what you always think?" Charles asked Georgia.
"His Majesty the Prince has praised falsely, although the old man is the oldest here, he is just wasting his time. There is no Takami or something. Georgia waved her hand repeatedly.
"And what about you, Witch Sianna?" asked Charles to the witch who had just grabbed Penelope.
"Your Excellency, you are joking. I'm just a woman, what can I think about this kind of war. You just look at the arrangement. Sianna said.
"Well, since everyone doesn't have an opinion. Then I'll talk about it. Charles stood up. "The purpose of our declaration of war on the Holy See this time is to ............"
Just as Charles began to preach the battle plan, Aldrich, the Holy See, also laid out the battle plan. Then the members of the Holy See rushed to their combat posts. The knights of the three major orders were on the outskirts of Vatican City, the Inquisitors were on the square in front of the Papal Palace, and finally the sacrificial legions were at the gates of the Papal Palace. One hundred bishops and four cardinals stood guard in the main hall of the Papal Palace, the last line of defense of the Holy See, and if this line of defense was breached, it would mean that the Holy See had completely lost the battle between good and evil.
In the square of the Papal Palace, a young inquisitor is inspecting his combat equipment under the leadership of the captain. His name is Ruby, he is just 23 years old this year, and he just passed the judge selection three months ago. There were twelve inquisitors in this team, and the captain was his uncle's name Harper. "Boys," Captain Harper shouted. "It's going to be a battle soon. Are you excited?"
"Excited. All the team members replied loudly.
"Are you nervous?" Harper asked again.
"Not nervous!", "Nervous!" a discordant voice appeared.
"Look at little Ruby, he's nervous!" Harper laughed. "Ruby, if you're scared, follow me. I promise not to spill a drop of blood on you. ”
"I'm not nervous, I'm ...... I...... I'm afraid my sword isn't sharp enough!" Ruby said. "Moreover, I am already a qualified Inquisitor, and I do not need your protection. ”
"Haha!" everyone laughed.
"Little Ruby, the first time I faced those blasphemous things, I was more nervous than you! But by the time you've killed ten or eight, you're not so scared. A young man named Paul next to Ruby said.
"I'm not afraid. Ruby muttered softly. But even he himself said this without confidence.
The dark clouds in the sky began to thicken, and the originally bright moonlight was obscured by the dark clouds. Looking at the group of young people under his command, Harper's face suddenly became serious. "They may not realize what kind of big battle they are about to face. Harper thought. "May you all survive this battle, after all, I'm just a grain of sand in a war like this. There is nothing more I can do for you than pray. He walked over to Ruby and helped him tighten the belt around his waist. Taking this opportunity, he secretly whispered in his ear: "The battle will start in a while, follow me." After saying that, he shouted, "Seventy-two squad, everyone will dress up for the last time." Then, into combat mode. ”
