Marshal Kyle Mencius himself didn't know what he was doing.

In fact, from the moment the fiasco of Dongmen Island happened, when the fortress in the clouds was completely destroyed, he understood that all his efforts were a joke in front of the other party, and what he wanted to maintain was clearly a pile of mud that would be too soft even to paste the wall, not to mention that he wanted to use these goods to repair a building that was about to collapse.

The world will be shattered, civilization will die, even the gods will fall, and of course the country will always be destroyed. If such an edifice collapses, it will collapse.

Kyle Mencius is only a son-in-law after all, not born with a feather blanket and a golden key, and he is not so stubborn in class attributes, but he is still very open-minded in this regard. He was even ready to put up a symbolic resistance at the fortress of Olaheran for a while, and then surrendered the city. When that time comes, he will commit suicide and present the Ancient Elemental Battle Banner in exchange for Lu Xi's leniency towards his family and subordinates.

He believed that even if he didn't make such a decision, Lu Xi would not do anything to his family. But since he surrendered as a commander-in-chief, he was not qualified to continue to survive.

It is precisely because of this realization that Marshal Mencius's mind has been in a certain state of emptiness after the war, and the aura of the whole person has suddenly become open-minded.

Soon after, there was the great uprising of Elichar, the battle with the old headmaster, Master Palon, and a series of dizzying events when the Ark of the Sky was born.

The head of Marshal Mencius, who already had a will to die, was very ethereal, and he was naturally confused. He stared blankly at the magnificent Heavenly Ark in the sky, his mind was no longer ethereal, and he almost fell into a state of stagnation, and he didn't even pay much attention to when the old headmaster who had fought with him for three hundred rounds left.

By the time the marshal really reacted, he found that he had instinctively entered the fortress.

His Excellency Marshal's luck was not bad. The shield of the fortress was officially activated, just after he entered the fortress in a daze. If it had been a few minutes later, he would have crashed headfirst into the wall of Topruk and died. After all, even the ancient species Beamon crashed into a big blood cake on the protective cover of this fortress, and no matter how powerful a great mage is, there is no reason why the blood bar will be longer than that group of long-haired giant hippopotamus-headed gorillas.

However, when Marshal Mencius stood in the entrance hall of the fortress, he felt like an ant crawling into the ancient temple, and he was at a loss for a moment, looking around speechless.

Fortunately, he can be mixed from the son-in-law party to the great magic master, and Mr. Principal is the best choice in terms of both talent and will. He quickly recovered from shock and confusion and began to analyze the current situation.

He wandered around the fortress for nearly an hour before he began to confirm that this place should be the legendary Ark of Heaven in the Age of Mythology, the beacon of hope for all living beings in the Age of Annihilation. After all, he can only be regarded as an "outsider" who has only seen this thing in some ancient documents, and it is difficult to combine those semi-legendary things with the rushing reality.

I have to say again that the marshal's luck was really good. Probably because of the brilliant artifact in his hand, he automatically exudes the aura of "his own person". The ancient puppets and heroic spirits that had already begun to move, as well as various self-discipline defense systems, did not attack him.

He didn't have a map, so naturally he was lost. I didn't arrive at the central hall, and I didn't see the confrontation between Lu Xi and Russell, but I encountered a small group of demons that came out of nowhere.

His Excellency the Marshal said that he was very good, because he was happy to finally encounter a group of enemies who would never do anything wrong to kill him, or he could have wantonly vented his resentment that had been held back since the Battle of Dongmen Island, or since the day of the coup d'état.

The thirty-man squad of Horned Demons and Thorn Demons was quickly killed by Marshal Mencius, but the movement attracted more demons. But then, the noise and smell of the demons gathered attracted a lot of puppets and heroic spirits, and the situation suddenly turned into a three-way scuffle, and it was not lively for a while.

The fortress was so large that even Master Rassell, who already controlled most of its central facilities, would not be able to keep an eye on everything inside. He had already tacitly acquiesced that there were two subordinates of the Abyss Lord collaborators in the fortress, and it was already expected that it would lead to a counterattack from the fortress's self-discipline defense, but he really didn't realize that there was actually an extra "outsider" here.

In short, after a pause in the fighting, Marshal Mencius left the battlefield unharmed, aimlessly searching for directions.

He didn't know what he was looking for, but he always felt like he had to do something. So, when Lingjue, who was the Great Magus, felt the magnificent structure of the magic circle, he naturally went in that direction.

The Elemental Lord Battle Banner allows Mencius to gather and summon elements with several times more efficiency than usual, and it also allows him to cast some magic that he is not usually good at - for example, through the combination of advanced summoning application and a certain amount of mental distortion, the spirit realm walks. To put it bluntly, it is to let one's entity be completely elementalized, to shuttle oneself between the main plane and the spiritual world through the spell of summoning, and then to make the surrounding creatures ignore this subtle unnaturalness through spiritual interference. To put it bluntly, this is the most cutting-edge stealth method that belongs to magicians.

Mencius was (relatively speaking) not very good at summoning, and he couldn't do it without a brilliant artifact.

He saw the battle between the elves and the puppets, as well as the fierce duel between the two sword masters, and after a little more hesitation, he finally decided not to help each other, and quietly bypassed the battlefield, slowly approaching the place of the magic circle.

And at this time, Lu Xi, because all his spiritual power was hit on the World Puzzle Circle and the Song of Divine Punishment, he didn't have the strength to open the entire map of the Eye of War anymore, so he really let Mencius come nearby.

This time, the marshal hiding in the shadows finally caught up with Lu Xi and Rassell's conversation in the air. But even so, he didn't fully deduce the whole picture.

However, Marshal Mencius, who could have been unable to help each other, finally jumped out of the shadows and directly hit Rassell's over-the-horizon strike, and became Lu Xi's ally on the spot.

Lu Xi was surprised, but quickly relieved. Because he understands what is impermanence in the world, and he understands what class attributes are.

Russell was also surprised, surprised that he didn't expect that there was such an outsider in the fortress, and he didn't expect that this intruder would become Lu Xi's reinforcements.

He was filled with rage, and there was a hint of rage in the roaring storm spirit, and hundreds of curse-breaking swords smashed down all over the sky.

Marshal Mencius held the shield of elemental radiance and was smashed to the point of gnashing his teeth. It's not that these eight-ring spell-breaking sword rain can break through the highest defensive spell of the ten rings, but they are completely shocked by this unreasonable physical impact, and their five organs are turned upside down.

Yes, each shot has the ability to tear apart the Rainbow Shield, and it also has enough sharpness to pierce through the steel magic armor. What's more, this thing has quality, even if it's simulated with elements.

And that's not all the marshal had to endure.

But I saw a light curtain open next to it, and the people on it made Mencius can't help but shrink his eyes.

"Kyle, this has nothing to do with you, go home. Melali and the kids are waiting for you. Even Lucar, as long as he is not stupid, can spend his old age with his family. I can swear to the goddess! ”

"Lady Ovilia...... You've betrayed too! He tried to express his anger, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

"I've never betrayed you! Kyle, women are born actors. If you are really determined, you can hide it for a lifetime, so hidden that you are about to forget where you came from. However, after all, I am just a small town girl from Hartun, and I never dare to forget my birth, and I never dare to forget everything I saw when I was studying at the Central Academy of Magic. We want to change, and that's the vow we made then! We are magicians, how dare we break the oath we have made with our own star position? Ovilia Dandilaine smiled frankly, and her beautiful phoenix eyes were full of course.

"Then you forgot your husband? Forgot about the wind and rain of thirty years with him? ”

"He...... He was a good husband, handsome, strong, romantic, even good at bed, and he was trying to protect me when the whole family rejected this lady from mud legs. The only downside is that it's too good to drink, not like a spellcaster, more like a Nord. Although I don't love him, I am at least grateful to him, and I am grateful to him from the bottom of my heart, so I am willing to have children for him and be a good wife. It's a shame that if he hadn't drunk and jumped into the sea of clouds to swim, if he had survived until now, I would probably have forgotten who I was. Ovillea sighed, "See, little Kyle, most women like us don't have much of a strong will. So, go back, Kyle, Melali needs you over there. ”

Kyle Mencius gritted his teeth, his expression seemingly loosening slightly.

At this time, Lu Xi suddenly interjected coldly: "Headmaster, isn't the city that was pointed at by the fifty gravity crossbows just now Elichar?" Lady Melali, Mr. Lucar, Elichar, where all your family is located. Plus, my army already takes control there. ”

Lu Xi felt that it was enough to say this, because everyone is a smart person.

The marshal let out a loud shout, and spat out a string of speech spirits—of course, quite tall dragon language spirits—and created a huge tornado in front of him, which actually stirred up those dense sword rains.

As if she had met Lu Xi for the first time, Ovilia looked at him deeply, sighed, and closed the light curtain.

Marshal Mencius finally blocked this attack, and he also let out a sigh of relief. He put away the shield of radiance, landed on the ground, glanced at Lu Xi, who continued to pour "pinching plasticine" all over his body, sat down silently, and began to meditate and recover. However, after only a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes again and said lukewarmly: "I let me know the new you again." ”

"Or who do you think I am? The perfect hero of the story, the embodiment of light and justice, the model of virtue? When the hell will I have so many terrible characters! Lu Xi smiled calmly: "It is impossible for a moral perfectionist in the absolute sense to appear in this world. And if you don't have the consciousness to carry the red flag, you are not even qualified to discuss morality in a relative sense. ”

Mencius said that he seemed to understand, but he felt that he did not understand anything, and inexplicably felt the humiliation of being overlooked in his knowledge and vision.

"But even if you really don't want to help me. Your family won't hurt much, as long as they're not stupid enough to resist. I have already ordered that the first priority to enter the army of Elichar is to restore order in the city. They are liberators, not conquerors, let alone predators. Do you believe that? ”

"I believe it! I can only believe that the opponent who beat me to the ground on the battlefield is a hero with grace and courage. Otherwise, what would my life be? Well, actually, I don't understand what my life is anymore. ”

"You are a martial artist with feelings and abilities, although you stand on the opposite side of the times, you will probably be the opposite angle in the later history books. But it would be too sad for a country to be destroyed without even the right thing that you are willing to do to defend it. The federation I have seen is a useless puppet regime, but the federation I see in the history books was, at least in the earliest days, the cradle of idealists. So, think you're honoring these idealists. I am sure that in the not-too-distant future, there will be many young historians with a conscience who will write books and biographies for you. ”

Obviously, Marshal Mencius understood this as a complete compliment and relief, and could not help but smile.

Lucy Berencaster ...... Your eloquence is well deserved. Although I don't know how sincere you are, at this time, I can't help but believe every word you say. ”

He groaned for a moment, then added, "What the hell does Russell Clement want to do?" What is the kingdom he wants? ”

"I don't know." Lu Xi spread his hands as a matter of course.

When the other party showed a stunned expression, he said again: "It's no problem to defeat you, even if it's me, it's long ago, but the key is after defeating." At least it must not be such a big antique as a tool to deter the nations, and a country built on an unbalanced deterrence system will be the target of public criticism, and it is by no means a way to govern the country. Other than that, I couldn't see anything, and that's why I had to stop him. ”

The marshal bowed slightly, and there was a little more curiosity: "So, what will your kingdom be like?" ”

"The nature of the state is not much different, because the essence of the state has always been the slowest part of civilization! It's just that what is a magician belongs to a magician, but what is political will eventually return to politics. It has been proven many times that even the Grand Magus is not necessarily a good ruler. And the intellectual alliance, which has been reduced to a blood clan and nepotism toy, has fewer and fewer excellent spellcasters, and it is time to return to its original appearance. At least, in the kingdom of the future, the queen mother squinted...... I mean, Lady Ovilia isn't going to be a fickle bad woman, and you're not going to be seen as a son-in-law all the time. ”

"Hmph, it sounds very good, but if you think about it carefully, it's all empty words." The marshal sneered in his heart, and wanted to ridicule it, but at this time, he heard Lu Xi say again: "Of course, all the above is nonsense. ”

Marshal Mencius almost coughed, but he managed to hold back before he lost his temper.

"What I really want to do is actually very simple, confiscate the land and property of the slaughtered gate lords and nobles in large quantities, and free the slaves. The serfs will be given land, and the urban slaves will be given jobs and a minimum wage, and they will be able to exploit the black man, explore the New World, and take back local tax rights. In this way, there will be land and the city will prosper. In addition, a large number of corrupt officials and children of nobles with great public resentment were hung on the street lamp. What ordinary people need has always been simple, basic security for survival and life. I give it to them, and they will support me! ”

It does sound simple, but the marshal is not an ordinary person, and he knows very well what is not simple.

“…… The nobles will revolt in rallies, just as they rebelled against Rassell with the most explosive means. You've defeated them, but you're not going to wipe them all out, are you? ”

Every kingdom has its elite base, and to put it more clearly, its ruling class. It must be admitted that the ruling class of the Federation is a group of magicians.

Lu Xi smiled: "I have done a statistic. Thirty percent of the students at the Central Academy of Magic were born commoners, while more than half of the other seventy percent were wealthy merchants rather than the so-called Ofa family. Those who can pass the mage's test, there are more than sixty percent of the 'mudbloods' who have no family and inheritance. Of course, when you reach a four-star Magister or above, it seems that they are all old monsters born in famous families, but there is still Master Rassel...... Well, he's not counted...... But Lieutenant General Makarov, Lieutenant General Astery can always be counted. At the very least, there is no authoritative evidence that the children of the nobility are more gifted than the so-called 'mudbloods' of the commoners. ”

Field Marshal Mencius was silent.

"Now, you know why I had to operate on the rigid system of the Learned Alliance in the first place, right? Soon, a new base will appear. That's a magician who really belongs to the country and the Alliance, not a thug of a family. ”

"Actually, it's a magician who belongs to Lucy Berencaster, right?" He spoke lukewarmly, with a smile on his face, but not as if there was no irony.

"As for the Arcane giants, after all, I'm not a demon, and I don't have the iron will to completely break with the old world. As long as the nobles, and of course your family, do understand things, I will tell them where the road from now is there. Truth be told, the practice of living by suppressing the bones of slaves and dead people is inefficient and unflattering, and that's what I despise you the most. Lu Xi sneered, and said: "Of course, there will be a process for all this, and it needs to be quite specific and planned, and it will be quite troublesome to explain." Are you sure you understand, Principal? ”

"Even if I can understand it, I don't have time to listen to it." Marshal Mencius burst out laughing aloud, and all resentment and entanglement were swept away at this moment.

He stood up, patted his clothes, and clenched the Elemental Battle Banner: "Alright, Lucy Berencaster, whatever you have to do, do it to the end!" I'll give you one last time! ”

Before his words fell, it seemed as if the spirit of the storm that was about to ignite the night sky, accompanied by a blazing wave of air that pierced the sky, once again arrived as scheduled.

This time, it was not only the dragon language that was caught in the middle, but also the wind that roared with thunder and flames.
