The siege of Kyoto Castle was successfully broken, Manstein fled south with the wolf horse, and Viscount Slim pursued with the cavalry of the Guards from afar. The cavalry of the Western Frontier Army, which also came to defend Kyoto, entered the city of Kyoto under the leadership of General Wendell.

Wendell brought with him 15,000 men, the largest force that the Western Frontier Army could produce in an emergency, and with the original garrison of Kyoto City of less than 10,000, the Emperor of Benin and the cabinet ministers finally let go of their hanging hearts.

Their greatest reliance, the court magicians, especially the Archmage of Merlin, began to receive the cheers and admiration of the commoners and nobles of the city. Everyone knew that without Merlin, without the court magician, without that huge blue barrier, Kyoto City might not have been able to survive until the moment reinforcements arrived.

In the Red Keep, the Emperor of Benin organized a grand banquet, inviting all the nobles in the city to attend, in recognition of the contribution of the court magicians, the Emperor of Benin prepared to award Merlin the "Order of the Imperial Book Coupon", which is a high honor, and no more than ten people in the entire history of San José can receive this honor.

And the cabinet ministers, they don't have time to attend this banquet, they have more urgent things to do. More than 20,000 Desik cavalry fled in a hurry, and although Viscount Slim had already pursued with the Guards cavalry, they were too few in number. The Cabinet Ministers were prepared to send a part of the Western Frontier Army with them, and at the same time ordered all the troops in the South to encircle and suppress this force.

Along with the reinforcements arrived, there was also news of Count Mosic. At the same time that the siege of Kyoto was relieved, the fighting on the Kursk Plain also made great progress, and Count Mosik finally withstood the attack of the Desik and began to counterattack.

Given that the city of Kyoto was safe, the cabinet ministers were prepared to allow Count Mosik to lead a part of his soldiers across the Morro River in pursuit. The remaining armies rested in place, and the southern armies needed to gradually return to their original positions.

After taking care of the business, the cabinet ministers helped each other to the emperor's banquet hall. Although I don't want to participate in this kind of drinking party physically, no matter what, San Jose is also the winner of this war, and His Majesty the Emperor still has to give face.

The Royal Ballroom in the Red Fort was bustling with activity. The Emperor of Benin, who had loved the bustle since he was young, had been tormented by war in recent years. Although he loved pleasure, the education he received from an early age made him understand that the Desiks, who had won the battle of Kyoto Castle and lost all their mobile forces, were not far from defeat.

Therefore, today's Emperor of Benin was particularly enthusiastic, and he invited the nobles of the royal family and loyal ministers of Kyoto City to enter the banquet hall together. And Merlin, the leader of the court magicians who turned the tide in the war, and several high-level mages, also attended.

Wine and food flowed in, and singers and dancers kept performing for the nobles. The Emperor of Benin stared at the dancing girls in the arena with straight eyes, and kept pouring the wine in his hand into his stomach.

"Merlin, it's been a hard time for you, we, San Jose, thanks to your court magician!" Benin happily talked to Merlin, but Merlin didn't reply, his eyes fixed in the direction of the door.

"Merlin, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Merlin did not react, the Emperor of Benin couldn't help but shout at him, and the noise in the banquet hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked here, not knowing what was happening.

Merlin smiled and looked back, "My Majesty, don't be in a hurry?"

Listening to Merlin's brainless words, the Emperor of Benin was a little puzzled, "What's in a hurry?

At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and General Wendell, dressed in armor, walked in.

"Wendell, why are you here now?" the Emperor of Benin put Merlin's unhappiness behind him and greeted General Wendell warmly. Unbeknownst to him, Wendell also ignored His Majesty the Emperor, and stood in the center of the banquet hall with his sword.

"Merlin, Wendell, what's wrong with you all today?" Lady Barich, who had just sat down and drank two sips of tequila, suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and stood up to accuse the two of them.

The atmosphere in the arena began to be eerie. And General Wendell, he didn't come alone, there were two strange men in black robes behind him, who were walking out from behind General Wendell at this time.

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of San Jose is about to search for us, don't be afraid, we are here ourselves!" the two stood on the side of General Wendell, one on the left and one on the right, and raised their heads and took off their hats. It was a charming woman and a middle-aged man with blond hair, both of whom looked like San Jose.

"Who are you?" the Emperor of Benin was a little curious, and dared to speak to himself like this in this place.

The visitor was not worried, the woman smiled, raised her hands, and a spell was pronounced, and a golden light rose from the soles of her feet.

"Magician, magician!" exclaimed Benin and everyone present, and then looked at the Grand Magister Merlin in unison. This is the Red Fort of San Jose Kyoto City, the home of the court magicians.

However, Merlin actually turned the wine glass in his hand leisurely, stared at the embroidered carpet on the ground, and said quietly, "This carpet is really some years old. ”

Everyone didn't know why, but the next moment, the golden light shield of the black-clothed mage suddenly swelled out, as if it was silent, "booming" across the entire banquet hall.

"Ahh Then came the singers, the dancers, the court eunuchs, the nobles, and everyone in the banquet hall cried out in pain with their heads clutched.

Surprisingly, the entire Red Fort was unusually quiet, not a single palace eunuch or Guards soldier came to check on it, and the crying here was so loud that General Wendell frowned.

After a long time, the black-clad magician stopped chanting, and the golden aperture began to recede until it was retracted onto the magician. The nobles on the ground stopped screaming, but it seemed that their spirits had been greatly impacted, including the Emperor of Benin, all of them were dumbfounded, as if they had long been unconscious, white spit overflowed from the corners of their mouths, and their hands and feet were still twitching irregularly.

"I've strengthened the power of the Psychic Storm, the last time we needed captives, this time not to. The black-hearted magician, not knowing who he was explaining, spoke quietly.

The only people standing in the middle of the field were Mage Merlin and several of his court magicians, General Wendell, two black-clad mages behind him, and a dancing girl who seemed to be stupefied.

The dancing girl, trembling with her dance clothes, couldn't understand what was going on here, and her two big frightened eyes looked around in panic.

"Do you know how old this carpet is under your feet?" Merlin asked Merlin as he picked up what he had just said, and spoke to the only dancer still standing.

The panicked dancer naturally couldn't answer, tears were already pouring out of the corners of her eyes, and her legs fell to the ground with weakness.

"No, no, no, you don't have to cry, you are a great elemental awakener, and you should respect and love magic, not be afraid. Merlin continued to speak thoughtlessly, and no one seemed to have any intention of stopping him.

The dancing girl was even more frightened, even if she was lying on the ground, she could not support her body, and had to fall to the ground, and Merlin was now in front of him, as if the dancing girl was prostrating to Merlin to show her respect.

"What about you, do you know where this carpet came from?" Merlin asked the rest of the people, who were silent, whether they were court magicians or those brought by General Wendell.

"You guys," Merlin shook his head and sighed, "This carpet is the property of the Magic Empire's court, and only archons were qualified to use carpets with such patterns. Its material is very special, and it even contains countless magical elements. Do you understand, such a precious thing was actually used as a carpet for dancing girls by mortal emperors!

Strangely, Merlin seemed to be saying something that made people angry, but his tone was unusually calm, as if he were talking about an ordinary thing.

With a wave of Merlin's hand, a strange space appeared, and all the people who fainted on the ground were swallowed up, including the sober dancing girl. She stretched out her hand soberly, making a final struggle, her eyes full of pain. Merlin, smiling wickedly.

At the same time, the entire Red Fort City, the entire Kyoto City, countless soldiers of the Western Frontier Army, are mercilessly slashing and killing the Guards. The Guards soldiers, who were drinking a celebratory feast, were caught off guard by their colleagues pulling out their knives and slashing them to the ground.

The whole city of Kyoto is in chaos, if you look up, you can see that in the high-rise buildings in the city, there are many magicians in black robes who are monitoring the situation in the city, and beside them, there are actually some court magicians in white robes, standing side by side with them.

To the south of San Jose, Viscount Slim and the Guards are madly pursuing the fleeing Desiks. The wolf riders and rangers have lost their fighting spirit, and are completely desperate for wolf rushes. Viscount Slim felt a little uneasy in his heart, whether this time the plan was too smooth.

Just as he was thinking, the officer beside him suddenly pointed ahead, "Look, Lord Viscount, ahead, they stopped!" Slim hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, the Desik army, which was still running just now, stopped fleeing for some reason. A huge Steppenwolf in the lead, panting, the Desiks began to line up behind the leading general.

Viscount Slim slowed down his horses, and all the Guards soldiers were a little panicked. Compared to the other party, their numbers are still very disadvantaged, but they have been in pursuit before, and no one has thought of this problem.

"General, what do they want to do?" the officer beside him asked the commander suspiciously, and their commander naturally didn't know the answer. The Desik didn't make any moves, and after a long time seemed to be waiting for something.

Then, Viscount Slim saw the two giant black shadows in the distance. The figure was so familiar that the corners of Viscount Slim's eyes widened suddenly.

"Why, why are they in the Desik Army!"

The flames of war are reigniting on the land of San Jose.
