Act XXXIV Another Opportunity V

Delphien was unusually quiet as he was escorted away, just staring at him with a serpent-like gaze that made Brando shudder a little. Truth be told, if it weren't for his scruples about his relationship with Veronica, he would have had the woman put to death. Anyway, the confrontation with the Prime Minister of the Empire was inevitable, and he didn't think that the Cruz people would dare to declare war on Eruin for a woman.

Lorenna watched Delphine being escorted away, the female knight wanted to say something but couldn't say anything for a while, as an envoy of the Empire, it would naturally be a little dissatisfying to be treated like this, but the problem was that she herself didn't seem to have any qualifications to be dissatisfied.

She thought for a long time before she said weakly, "Lord Lord, I hope you can carefully consider how to get along with the Empire. ”

"I understand, of course, but it also depends on whom. Friends and enemies, I naturally distinguish clearly, and I can only say that Lord Veronica chose the wrong person to complete a wrong mission this time. Brando replied.

He gestured to Charles, and Laurenna and Firaston, who were imprisoned in their chairs by spells, felt relieved that the female knight was okay and could maintain her composure. But her fiancé couldn't help but let out a long breath at once, staring at Brando with a little fear.

Because of the flowery mouth, he suffered a lot at the hands of the prime minister's daughter along the way, but he didn't expect such a terrifying woman to be put in a black prison by this guy who simply lacks humanity. He thought about it for a moment, if it were his own, he would definitely be reluctant to do so, Delphien's beauty was famous throughout the empire.

Thinking of this, Firas couldn't help but glance at Brando with some fear. In his eyes, he had already decided that the other party was probably the barbarians of the legendary wilderness—no, they should be called chiefs. No matter how beautiful a woman is, it is meaningless to a rude person like the other party, and in some chivalric novels it is even mentioned that these barbarians seem to prefer men.

The young knight's thoughts diverged to this point, and Cheng Dù couldn't help but glance at Charles, who had been controlling him and Laurenna with spells, and showed a thoughtful look.

Brando, of course, didn't know that the notoriously stupid little white face in front of him, who was almost unlucky enough to eat soft rice, was spinning in his head - this title was not something he had given the other party. It's the real title of the first shit luck knight in history. First of all, he defeated many outstanding sons and daughters from the major noble families in the territory of Cruz. Married to Laurena, Cruz's most talented beautiful girl in the future - Laurena's future achievements in Cruz can even be compared to Freya's achievements in Eruin, and because they are higher, her achievements are far more than that. If he's not mistaken. Later, together with Faina, she succeeded to the position of Captain and Deputy Commander of the Blue of the Firmament.

This was enough to be a big surprise, but Firas's good fortune was more than that, unlike all the other noble children who had grown up in intrigues. The process of inheriting the title of this guy can be called smooth sailing, as the only son of Prince Barano, there is no competitor and even pressure from the side branches, such a smooth road to the throne can be said to be enough to make everyone around him jealous.

Later, our knight participated in the holy war under the call of His Majesty the Emperor, and then spent a long time on the front line of the bullet rain of 'no war on the Eastern Front' experience, and then inexplicably ushered in a series of incredible victories, and finally his accumulated military exploits actually made him the captain of the Imperial Legion.

He is known as the Legion Commander of the Pick-up.

Later, time passed, and Mr. Filas had already taken the side. And his story has long become the most legendary story in the mouth of the bard.

Now, the legendary couple of the legendary couple in this saga sat in front of him, and they- and now Lorena was just a little knight captain under Veronica. And Firas is still an idle kid. The journey between the two has not even begun, and he is more of a legend in front of them. At least after the first battle of Ampesel. Brando's fame in Cruz is by no means limited to a Juggernaut.

Brando looked at the two men carefully, and after a while he picked up the envelope on the table again, and after looking at it, he asked the knightess:

"Lady Lorenna, may I ask - when did the Cruz people become aware of this?"

Laurena looked at him, slightly stunned and reacted to what the other party asked again, she frowned, and replied with a businesslike look: "Two months ago, my lord." ”

This question and answer is actually the second thing mentioned in Veronica's letter to him. Compared to the innocence of the first thing, this second thing seemed to Brando to be much trickier.

It all started with the Battle of Ampesel. In that war, the Eruin eventually shattered the three Gates of Fire and sent the demons back to their home beneath the Brimstone River - a part of the story that Brando had personally experienced. The demonic army was routed and scattered, then completely dispersed by the Silver Elves and Highland Knights, as well as the Artisan Wizards who arrived later.

But a small number remained, fleeing into the mountains of Eruin. This small part caused a huge problem for the Cruz.

The whole thing should have come to an end after the Cruz people had completely retreated from the port of Ampesel due to face problems.

But I'm afraid no one could have imagined that history would develop like this later.

Around the time of the New Flower Moon, the monks from the Temple of Flame had thoroughly sorted out the battlefield and discovered that all three Gates of Fire were missing different ways. The missing flames were quickly sent back to Cruz for the high-ranking priests to identify, and only half a month later, the news was confirmed that the entire Temple of Fire was shrouded in a nightmare.

The missing parts of the three Gates of Fire are almost enough to form a new portal.

So it was already obvious. That means at least one or more demons, cavemen, cultists, or anything like that from the underground of Jogandigan with these fragments ready to do something less so wonderful in Eruin.

For the Temple of Fire, this is simply a ridiculous joke.

Or rather, it was a resounding slap in the face of the Flame Temple. Even Brando couldn't help but cry and laugh a little when he saw the news, let alone the others - although it was an almost open secret that the Temple of Flame was infiltrated by the One Everything, he didn't expect the other party to be so pustuated.

It is no wonder that the core of power in the Cruz Empire is becoming more and more inclined to royal power day by day, and in the face of such a pustuated enemy, it is really difficult for Her Majesty the Silver Queen not to win.

Brando thought silently for a moment, then shook the letter in his hand, and now he was almost certain that Veronica must be having trouble sleeping at this time. If he could, I'm afraid that the Legionnaire would rather not have this letter delivered to him, Cruz probably hadn't lost such a big face in centuries, and it was a continuous disgrace.

But the problem is that there is a group of people who are now wandering around with the fragments of these portals, and may find a power core to re-establish the portal at any time. Veronica couldn't have turned a blind eye.

This is not really a serious problem for Eruin, after all, if they can solve three portals, they will naturally be able to kill one incomplete temporary portal. But it's a big problem for the Flame Temple, no matter when or where these cultists set up this portal.

Even if it was built in a pigsty in the countryside of Eruin, I am afraid that the Temple of Fire will not have half a century and will not want to raise its head in front of the other major temples. As for what kind of holy war, take the early break to mention it, and simply hang up the war-free card and hand over the benefits in hand, so that people may be better.

What's more, the issue of face is secondary, and such an incident is the biggest blow to the prestige of the Flame Temple, and it will inevitably cause many people's faith to waver. Brando could not have imagined that the largest number of peasants and craftsmen in the Flame Temple had a strong faith, and once faith collapsed, it would be difficult to rebuild.

But that's not the biggest disaster. The worst possible for the Cruz is undoubtedly that these cultists bring the fragments of the portal back to the Cruz Empire, Martha is on it, just imagine that scene, it is estimated that the upper echelons of the Flame Temple will have nightmares at night.

Not to mention that the demons were able to study and replicate the fragments - although this is very unlikely, if it succeeds, it is estimated that the upper echelons of the Flame Sanctuary will have to die to apologize.

If it weren't for such a strict state of affairs, I'm afraid that the arrogant Blue Sword Saint Lady wouldn't have hoped between the lines that he would take the maintenance of the Flame Temple first. To be honest, Brando, as an Eruin, is happy to see the Cruz people lose face, but Veronica said this, in fact, he already hoped that he could see the past friendship to help.

If you want to say who is the most powerful person in the south of Eruin today, it is naturally him and Her Royal Highness who have the support of the Highland Knights, the Grand Duke of Lantoniland and the Southern Legion. That's why the letter was sent to him and Princess Griffithine.

Thinking of Veronica, Brando couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, the female legion captain of the Cruz Empire made a pretty good impression on him. What's more, there is Faina, who knows that the arrogant eldest lady in private actually regards himself as a friend.

"As soon as you found out, the Celestial Legion entered Eruin?" He thought for a moment and asked again.

"No, in fact, it was a big man in the Sanctuary of Fire who asked Lord Veronica to help. I don't know exactly who it is. Because this matter is so important, not many people even within the empire know about it. Lorenna replied.

Brando couldn't help but shake his head: "You also know that the relationship is important, but the person sent to act as an envoy seems to be a little inconsiderate." ”

The female knight was slightly stunned, and immediately showed a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
