Tarabek Province, located in the middle of the former imperial ruling area, borders Midon and Hawk Provinces on the top, Ostmark and Steele Provinces on the bottom, Rick Province on the left, and Kislev Empire on the right, which is also formed by humans.

Zhang Hao, as Karl's envoy, only took a team of Sun Knights to Tarabeheim (the capital of Talabek Province) by boat seven days ago, if it is a land route, then the nearest one will take nearly twenty days to arrive, and if you take the water route, it will only take about eight days to sail day and night.

Zhang Hao stood at the fence next to the boat, quietly looking at the river bank of Talabek Province, the people on the bank lived a calm and busy life, the people here are not much different from the life of the ancient people on the earth, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water. Fishermen are basking in groups of fish or netting on the shore, village women are tapping their clothes with mallets on the riverbank and whispering to communicate with their parents, children are playing around adults, and occasionally being scolded by adults for making trouble and calm down for a while, but it does not affect the enthusiasm of the children to play, and the occasional unconcerned laughter all tells the peace of the surrounding villages. And the not wide river is scattered with all kinds of fishing boats, although not big, but well-equipped, the fishermen on the boats see the imperial griffin flag also give way, people do not feel any surprise and panic because of the sight of the imperial envoy boats, it seems that the imperial rebellion has not affected the slightest here at all.

"Your Highness" Sain saw Zhang Hao quietly staring at the riverbank, and did not come up abruptly to finish all the words in one breath.

"Theon, what? Are we almost there?

"Yes, my lord, there is about half an hour to see the tallest construction mage tower in Talabek Province, and it is expected that we will reach the port in another three hours."

"Arrived earlier than originally planned, by the way, Sain, are there still mages in Talabek Province now?"

"My lord, there are still some, the Battle Council recruited all the local mages and the senior mages of other provinces back then, leaving some middle and junior mages, so there are still some mages from other provinces"

"You say, can I bring these mages back with me? Aldolf is now dangerous, and he could be attacked by the rebels at any time. ”

"Your Highness, mage, don't think about it, they only obey the Battle Council, and without the orders of the Battle Council, they will not leave the city they are ordered to garrison."

"Is the Battle Council above the Emperor?"

"Your Highness, you are joking, the chairman of the Battle Council is generally not held by His Majesty the Emperor himself, or by the chief mage next to His Majesty the Emperor, so the entire Battle Council has always stood by His Majesty the Emperor's side, and His Majesty Karl has no formal acceptance of the Battle Council, so the mages of the imperial provinces will not obey the order."

"It's really a stubborn and somewhat pedantic group"

"Yes, Your Highness, after all, mages need the support of the empire to have more time to study magic, otherwise the cost of magic materials alone will be enough for these mages to waste time."

"Let's go and rest, there are still a lot of things to do when we get ashore" Zhang Hao turned around and returned to the cabin, opened the box and took out the armor that Karl had prepared for him, and slowly put it on. The news of Zhang Hao's resurrection has already been notified to the whole province, but the news is like a stone thrown into the sea, without a trace of waves, which makes Carl very nervous, Carl's political intuition tells him that this is a very dangerous signal, so before Zhang Hao set off, Carl prepared a very practical magic armor for Zhang Hao from the treasury, the Shield of Confusion (rare): The shield on the front of the armor depicts the image of the nameless lady praying for the blessing of the warrior. The coat of arms of the shield protects the user and is especially effective against ranged attacks. Skill, Shield of Bewilderment, lasts for 12 seconds, blocks all ranged attacks (undefended against large siege weapons) and increases Kill Resistance. Most of the magic equipment is formulated for special people, such as the weapons and armor of the Sun Knights, people who have not practiced the Sun Qi cannot activate it, and public magic equipment like the Shield of Confusion is really rare, and it basically belongs to the rare level, especially during the period when the senior mages of the empire have disappeared, the price of magic equipment is sky-high, and Karl naturally took out a large amount of inventory in exchange for food and money for the survival of Aldolph, but only in exchange for reinforcements.

A few hours later, the night came as scheduled, and the cold wind blew the surface of the Tarabek River, and the originally silent river was swelling with the Emperor's envoy ship, but the dock of Tarabeheim was extremely quiet at the moment, and a large number of soldiers surrounded the place tightly, and the workers, merchants, and women of the dock were all driven away from this place, and now there were only soldiers here.

Keeping the ship on the shore as scheduled, Zhang Hao strode down with the Sun Knights without fear.

In the dim light of the fire, a figure saw Zhang Hao coming down, and immediately moved towards Zhang Hao quickly, "Dare to ask, is it His Royal Highness Li?" ”

The man who came was none other than the leader of the Knights of the Sun, Orsaith.

"Your Highness, this person is the current commander of the Knights of the Sun, Orsay" Sean was a little nervous, his whole body muscles tightened, after all, he had been out for almost four months, except for sending someone to send a secret letter, Sain had not received a single reply from Orseth in the past four months, he was really afraid that something would happen.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander of Osuses, and I'm Prince Aldolf, Lee Roald!"

"Your Highness, since Theon and his team are following you, it can't be wrong, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me for the rudeness of the humble position, under special circumstances, there is no way to humble the position, now I ask His Royal Highness the Prince to move to the headquarters of the Knights of the Burning Sun, and then ask His Highness to surrender when I arrive."

Zhang Hao is not afraid, if he really wants to do it to himself, the boat can move without docking, how can a vigorous prince be more difficult to control than a prince who has no resistance.

The headquarters of the Knights of the Sun, located in the center of the entire capital, can be said to be resplendent in gold, a huge white building, printed with small golden suns according to a certain pattern, and the roof of the building also fluttered with the Sun Banner and the Imperial Griffin Flag.

On the side of the road leading to the headquarters hall, there are twelve pillars, each pillar is carved with a Sun Knight commander who has made outstanding achievements during the war, everyone is fully armed, riding on horses, maintaining a fighting posture, and the wall behind the pillar is also carved with war scenes that match the pillars, humans, elves, dwarves, vampires, giant beasts, etc., as if the entire building is to tell the glory of the Sun Knights, Zhang Hao Since entering the Sun Knights headquarters, the Sun Qi in his body has been extremely restless, And it's growing all the time.

The golden hall that was already illuminated by the fire, coupled with the knights who were neatly dressed, the whole hall felt that it could be self-luminous, Zhang Hao passed by a pair of knights standing guard, the knights knelt down on one knee, and performed the highest etiquette, until Zhang Hao walked to the end of the hall and stood still, all the knights who saluted stood up neatly, their eyes were like torches, their bodies did not move, and they continued to stick to their posts.
