Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Way Back
Later.
In the hotel room.
Lone did not intend to keep you stranded in Elrios. 】
On the desk was a dark green crystal ball, which was the object of the Speaker's emergency communication with Wei. Wei stared at the crystal ball, and at this moment, a voice that only he could hear echoed in his ears.
[Putting friends and subordinates in danger is Lonely's miscalculation. Speaker Nicholas said.
[I understand,] Wei nodded, [You have told me that the legendary spell of the necromantic system is related to celestial phenomena, the movement of the constellations, and the hydrological changes of the 'Shuo River', and the suitable time to activate it may only be once a year, so it is difficult to determine specifically. The window time is fleeting, you ......]
[I thought it would be a few months before the time came, but I didn't expect it to come so soon,] Speaker Nicholas said, "Okay. Now, talk about yourself. 】
【I ......】
[Lonely doesn't matter what you think,] the Speaker's tone was very tough, "I order you to return immediately with Lijie and Melia...... Before the French found out about you. 】
[Wait.] This ......]
[This is not a suggestion, but an order, my young friend. What's the use of you staying in France looking for that Goth now? Even if you don't reveal your identity, as long as the other party has the slightest suspicion, it will bring disaster to yourself, and even to Lijie and Melia, who follow you. Lone does not want to put you in danger because of his mistakes. 】
[I can protect me, and Lijie them.] Wei said.
[Repeat, this is an order,] the Speaker said categorically, "Come back immediately." If you have to do something "by the way...... Remember, you are not only a lonely's friend and subordinate, but also the "eternal blood" that is important to the whole continent and unique in the world. Your safety is as important as mine. 】
Communication is cut off.
……
"Heh......"
Wei Gan laughed twice.
Is it the "eternal blood" that is unique in the world? Wei Xindao. Unbeknownst to you, it is likely that another "Eternal Blood" has been driven out by you personally.
But it's okay...... It is convenient to solve this scourge by yourself.
"What did the Speaker say?" Lijie on the side asked worriedly. Wei and the speaker of the parliament used a method similar to "teleportation", which she could not hear.
"He wants us to ...... On the premise of ensuring safety, go back as soon as possible," Wei said slowly, "However, I persuaded him." ”
"What?"
"The Speaker has declared war as he had just done, and the voice rang out over all the territory of the French State. I'm afraid that the entire legal country will fall into chaos. ”
"That's right......"
"But in this pure white city of the capital, there is no doubt that order will be the best. It is not surprising that they immediately dispatched their troops. If I were the administrator of the city, even a curfew would be taken into account in order to bring the loose Errios into combat readiness as soon as possible, not to mention the regular ......"
"Are we going to stay here and spy on intelligence?" Lijie was in a hurry, and she was now anxious to return to the other side of the French border, to join her own army.
"Are you worried that they're checking for foreigners in the city?" Melia looked a little further.
"It's true that the Okadians in the city will probably be under surveillance, but I forged my identification, and I should be able to hold out for a while," Wei said calmly, "but our hasty departure from the city will attract their suspicion." We're right here, pretending to do what we're supposed to do, rather than leaving 'early'. ”
"That makes sense...... Lijie frowned.
"Don't think about it," Wei laughed, "The only order that the speaker gave me was to protect my own safety. He has put Admiral Armstrong in your place as commander of the forces of the Five-Nation Alliance, and it is up to us to decide when we will return and whether we will carry out our original mission. ”
"Oh......" Lijie nodded depressedly. Now the closest troops of the Okad Federation to the French Power are the troops stationed in the Five Nations Alliance, of which Lijie's headquarters accounts for a large part.
Thinking about it, it also knows that for such a crucial military operation, Admiral Armstrong, who is more experienced, must be a more suitable commander-in-chief than her. But at least, she wanted to lead her men into battle immediately.
And Melia was vaguely aware...... I'm afraid Wei didn't tell them the truth. However, no matter what Speaker Wei He said, it had nothing to do with her.
……
Okad.
"My lord," said Mr. Kim, dressed in a brocade robe, "you have stirred up his pride again. ”
Mr. Jin's vision is so sophisticated that he has long seen that Wei seems calm, but in fact he has a strong self-esteem and is easily irritated.
"If not, how would he go out of his way to help me gather information," Speaker Nicholas snorted, "but you're still a little overlooked, Vladimir. He stayed, but it wasn't just because I had stimulated his pride. ”
"My lord, please speak." Mr. Kim said respectfully.
"Now that our prestige in Okad has indeed reached its peak, the large-scale use of necromancy is also accused of being used by a thousand people," said Speaker Nicholas indifferently, "and his immediate appearance at my side is tantamount to an announcement to the world...... I also identify with and even participate in this plan. ”
Mr. Kim nodded slightly.
"But he delayed for a few days, and when I was defeated, he could claim that he was unaware of my necromancy, or even opposed. This little fox...... Instead, I learned to leave a way back for myself. ”
"......I see," Mr. Kim muttered.
"I hope you'll surprise me, my young friend." The Speaker's eyes shone like a falcon. On the other side, Mr. Kim hung his head and squinted.
……
"As long as three people act together...... In the Lord's estimation, there is less than a 1 in 10 chance that they will be perceived by the French power," Mr. Jin said to himself, "If it were me, I would not be afraid of this risk." ”
Mr. King speculated that Speaker Nicholas was not worried about Wei's safety. Wei has the power of gods, mysteries, and secrets, and has a lot of hole cards, so it is very difficult to catch him.
As for Melia and Lijie?
Melia was originally the daughter of the Black Lord Palamedes, and has always shown supernatural luck abilities. No matter how much Palamedes "doesn't ask", as long as he himself is still formally on the side of the French state, the French power will not dare to do anything to her.
And Lijie, if you give it up, you give it up. There are still many generals and speakers of her level, and although they have great potential, they are not irreplaceable.
There are as many "goals to pursue" as young officers and female warriors set for them.
Not to mention, the consistent style of the French state is, at most, to put high-ranking prisoners under house arrest...... On the contrary, it can strengthen the hatred of the French power in Wei's heart. Although Wei was impulsive, he was not able to break into the core of the legal power country protected by a legendary mage.
Mr. Kim had already seen all this...... Of course, unless the lord mentions it, he will not be stupid enough to publicize it everywhere.
"How many hole cards does the lord hide that I don't even know?" Mr. Kim thought to himself.
