"Exactly." There was a voice from inside the room, and Sidney and Veronica came out of the other room with a straight face, and it was clear from her face that the situation over there was just as bad as it was here.

Coming out of the room on the left was Kouhua, a small temple that was supposed to belong to a god in the arts, but thousands of years after the gods left, it had long since become a public meeting place, where the main hall of the temple was located, and two smaller ceremonies were performed in the side halls on the left and right.

The same is a dead man.

"They're simply lawless." Veronica's gloomy face was even more gloomy than that of the Virgin of the Lion Palace, who was a priest and she was a soldier, and the military could not tolerate the unscrupulous presence of some hidden men on the land of the Empire.

However, this did not affect Kou Hua's mood, and the she-wolf still had an indifferent expression, as if she was out of the matter. The Evil God and the Dusk Species are both enemies of the human race, but there is nothing to do with each other, and the pride of the pure-blooded Twilight Species is no less than that of the Divine People, so she has reason to look down on these defective products.

Three Valkyries followed her, long, heroic, and pale flames that always attracted attention.

The aristocrats all looked at this side, and the latter did not look away, showing a true military temperament.

At this time, Brando didn't care about what to hide, and put all the forces under his command on the table, and his hands were so powerful in the open and secret that even the former prime minister of the empire looked down on him.

Is this the standard of a nobleman in a remote area? The great aristocratic families in the heart of the empire may not be able to reach this level.

After receiving an affirmative answer, a hint of emotion appeared on Brando's face: "The Lord of Fire has recovered Akroma's shield?" And its relics recovered? ”

Veronica looked at the young man with some curiosity and replied, "What's so strange about this, little one. The Rusch Tower itself is a relic of the Sages. The city is protected by the angel Akroma, and its outer walls are infused with powerful holy spells, which can face any level of magical or physical impact on the continent, and cannot leave any trace on it. This wall is called an invincible white wall, and today the size of the Rusch Tower is several times larger than before. Several districts were built outside the outer walls, but the outer walls of the city were never rebuilt, and for this reason. ”

As she spoke, her voice involuntarily lowered, and even a strong fortress was breached from within, judging from today. The thousand-year-old imperial capital is facing the same dilemma.

Brando didn't care about the pride of the Empire's somewhat injured Legion Leader, he had known that Rusturt was a relic of the Sage, but he had thought it was a relic left by Geert, the King of Fire, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

He repeatedly confirmed: "Arka, you said that the shield of Akroma was erected in Victory Square. And what about the Holy Bones? ”

"It is said to be buried under the statue of Akroma, my lord."

"Also in Victory Square? Aren't the people of the empire afraid that someone will steal it? ”

"Who dares? Besides, ordinary people can't get close to the statue of Akroma at all, but it is blessed by the gods. ”

"Good."

Everyone present suddenly felt a confident momentum in this young count from Eruin, he raised his head, looked around and said, "Let's go to Victory Square." ”

Little Nedwin was stunned.

"Wait, there's a Praetorian Guard there!" His tone weakened again: "...... And it's not in a straight line to the Rose Garden. ”

"It's okay." Brando, however, replied nonchalantly, "Sharpening the knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter." ”

"Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter."

The old prime minister narrowed his eyes, as if to figure out what Brando's intentions were, and he asked approvingly, "Where is this proverb?" It's quite a bit concise and simple. ”

Brando usually laughs at such questions rather than answering them, and besides, the people around him have long been accustomed to the new but not nonsensical words that come out of his mouth.

Andreig moved her lips disdainfully, wanting to say it was someone's hometown slang. As for where the hometown is, it's far away.

Not in Booch anyway -

Brando turned back to Arka and said, "Arka I'm going to use your secret passage, you lead the way, let's go to Victory Square." ”

"Your Excellency, as you wish." The young man seemed to be accustomed to Brando's style. Answer without question.

"Very well," Brando replied, looking at him, "if there is a chance." I am willing to take you back to my territory. ”

Arka couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, Brando's words meant that he intended to make him an attendant. The nobles' attendants are also half nobles, and if they make meritorious contributions, it is easy to be promoted into the world of nobles. And he is just a commoner, the trench between the two identities is now eliminated by Brando's words, although not completely eliminated, but at least there is hope for entering, he has studied some relevant knowledge with a priest, and is very different from the ordinary muddy country youth, so he is more ambitious, but the identity of a commoner often makes him feel cramped and painful, as a farmer's son, even if he joins the army, it is difficult to get military merits.

Because only knights can make meritorious deeds, and knights are also nobles, commoners are often counted as knights' retinues in the army, and their merit should undoubtedly belong to knights, which is the greatest threshold between the two classes.

He almost couldn't help but want to subconsciously agree, but at the last moment, he held back: "My lord, she can be ......."

"You can bring her with you, and you can also bring your family and her father with the rest of the family if she wants." Brando nodded.

This condition was enough for any nobleman to be benevolent, so much so that even the other nobles couldn't help but look at Brando and the commoner twice, wondering what was different about the latter, which could make the Earl of Eruin prefer to have so many mouths to eat.

However, Brando really admires this young man, who has brains and a humble background, and the key is to seize the opportunity. He was willing to give the latter a chance, but in fact, the latter's affection and righteousness at the last moment was the reason why he finally gave such favorable terms.

As for Arka, he has long been grateful.

The Cruz nobles said they couldn't read it.

Only Kou Hua was on the sidelines, watching this scene coldly from afar. As Brando's eyes turned to this side, he thought for a moment and said to her, "Can you stay out of town?" ”

"You're not afraid I'll run away?"

"Your sister."

The little she-wolf gritted her fangs, but quickly calmed down, stared at him with a gaze that saw through him, and said, "You won't kill her, you won't even move a finger of her, my sister is kind and simple." Will you take my anger on her? ”

After that, she said word by word: "Brando, you are a good person, you can't fool me." ”

Brando thought to himself, Bai Kohua is kind to a certain extent. The little girl was not as ignorant as she appeared, her mind was not inferior to that of Delfin, in fact he knew that Hei Kohua was the same as a twin, but she was not willing to contribute.

The words of the little she-wolf were sent directly to his thoughts with his psychic ability, and Brando found that he couldn't do it when he wanted to send the information back, he didn't know how the other party broke the mental interference of the nightmare worm, maybe this kind of trick was not worth mentioning in the eyes of such a pure-blooded dusk species.

He had no choice but to say, "This thing is for you." ”

Then he threw the blood-colored crystal in his hand.

The little she-wolf didn't care at first. He took the crystals casually, but immediately changed his face: "This is pure dark magic, oh my God." There's some kind of divine power in it, and it's a good thing, and you're willing to give it to me? ”

She looked up and squinted at Brando. "I see, I see, you humans are ridiculous, if you can get great power. We can devour even our own kind, and you've given up your low-hanging fruit for these pedantic reasons—"

"That's where humans and beasts differ." Brando replied coldly. What he handed over to the she-wolf was a solidified blood crystal, somewhat similar to a magic crystal. But the blood crystal containing the blood of the gods is not comparable to the magic crystal left by ordinary monsters, and this thing is of great help even to him.

In other words, each blood crystal is about equivalent to 500,000 experience points and 10 points of full attribute level, although the effect will drop significantly after absorbing more, but these blood crystals in his hand can almost increase his strength by one-tenth.

However, just as the little she-wolf said, these blood crystals are not pure divine blood rain magic power condensation, these two things do not have such a powerful power, it is actually the product of sacrificing the lives of countless people, the demons like this kind of thing the most, and the same is true of the Dusk Seed, but he can't accept it.

But it's a pity to waste it, after all, the dead will not be resurrected because of this, and it is just right to hand it over to this little she-wolf.

"Don't talk nonsense," he said, "stay out of town and get in trouble with those cultists." ”

"You're doing Her Majesty a favor by disrupting their ritual." Kou Hua finally did not object and accepted his bribe.

"I don't think you can spoil the Shepherd's ritual." Brando didn't care, he left Kohua in the outer city just to slow down the Cultists, and to continue to teach the clowns who provoked him a lesson.

If it was before, of course, he hoped that these cultists would cause trouble for the Silver Queen, but at this moment, he didn't want the cultists to attack the inner city in advance to cause trouble for themselves.

"Hold them off for two hours."

"I can't do this, I'm not stronger than you right now."

"That's an hour."

"Deal—"

……

At this moment, the inner city is a scene of chaos and chaos.

Not all nobles were eligible to be invited to the Queen's banquet, and those of the lower middle and lower classes who lived in the inner city could not enjoy the singing and dancing in the White Rose Garden, but could only watch the flames of the outer city in their own homes, hoping that the tragedy of the year of change would not be repeated.

In the turmoil of decades ago, although the mob did not storm the inner city, during the week-long siege, it was not easy for the nobles, especially the middle and lower classes, to organize themselves to defend the city walls, and in order to protect themselves, they had to organize themselves to defend the city walls, and the loss of property was inevitable, and even more unfortunately, the nobles died for it.

Death was a distant and terrible term for the nobles of the imperial capital, and its terrible Cheng dù was second only to being deprived of the status of a nobleman and becoming a commoner.

And for the nobles in the imperial capital now, there are even fewer older nobles who have experienced the turmoil of the year, and the younger nobles are even more sleepless in such a night, after all, who knows if the mob will suddenly appear in front of you?

In a sense, their concerns are not unfounded.

At this moment, forbidden troops were sent to various gates, walls and fortresses in the inner city, and some knights of the Knights of the Flame Knights also participated in the defense work, but the situation was not as optimistic as imagined.

Cassett is such a fire-favored knight, as a fire-favored knight, any one of them is a high-level of the temple, and at the same time the elite of the imperial nobility, his title is viscount, born in the branch of the Connor family, which is subordinate to the Cecil family, which can be said to be the Templar sect with red seedlings.

His status was extremely high, and as soon as he arrived at the city wall, he took over the defense of this section of the city gate, and he was a well-deserved supreme commander - the original commander, a knight chief of the city guard, did not even dare to come out in front of him.

This is the Flame Knight, a god-like figure in the eyes of the Empire.

But Cassette's face was not necessarily much better than that of the knight.

Before he arrived, the mob had already launched three sieges of the city, but it had no effect other than leaving a mess of corpses, and the inner walls of Rusta, although not as effective as the Angel's Protection, were not something that a mob could take down with their bare hands.

But this was not good news, as an experienced Templar, Cassette had already seen that the cultists were deliberately draining lives, and morale was meaningless to the fanatics, while the dead were meaningful to the sorcery prepared by the other party.

The other party is a Black Fire Cultist, and not like the news he got told him, it was the One Everything Society and the Sheep Head Cultists who were at work, and Casseter's rich experience in the enemy made him make a judgment at the first time.

What's more, during the third attack, he had already seen the divine envoy mixed in the crowd, and he also killed one with his own hands, if he hadn't shot quickly, there would have been casualties on the city wall.

The Divine Envoy has at least the strength of the Elemental Realm.

And he saw that the one he had killed earlier was only a primitive, and he couldn't help but wonder angrily that these Black Fire Cultists had found such pure divine blood from there—the strength of the divine envoys did not depend on whether the divine blood to which they belonged was strong or not, just like the evil god Fredridge could also have powerful divine envoys, that was because the divine blood of these divine envoys was very pure.

It can also be said that the blood of the gods is very high.

Because of this, Cassette was keenly aware of the danger, and although Her Majesty had been cautious enough to invest enough defensive force, it was still not enough, and the situation was somewhat unexpected.

He didn't quite understand why Her Majesty the Queen would let these mobs go untouched, and he didn't understand that the so-called banquet was really that important. It is worth issuing an order that these Flame Knights must hold the inner city firmly until the banquet is over, and not let a mob be allowed to enter, but also not to be allowed to counterattack.

Originally, he thought it was a bit nonsense, it was right to deal with these mobs and go out to kill a river of blood, but now it seems that he has thought too much, if the previous intensity of the siege comes a few more times, he will not be able to guarantee the safety of the city wall.

"Her Majesty the Queen must be notified."

He turned back to his lieutenant and said.
