Chapter 43: Accidental Mutiny, Crisis of Division

At the end of the battle, Edward sent some soldiers to make a sentry here.

The only good news is that there is still a lot of food here to supplement Edward's food shortage, which is better than nothing.

This battle not only annihilated all the living forces of the Dark Council of the Shadow Imprint Old Lands.

At the same time, Edward gained even greater prestige.

A large number of civilians hiding in the countryside began to join Edward's area.

Edward, on the other hand, used the name of the Night Fragment.

All in all, the week seemed to have been very quiet, and with Mocha on board, Edward was finally able to get away from the political hustle and bustle and do what he had to do.

First of all, two minotaurs were sent to explore the way according to the map drawn by Gengna, although the two minotaur warriors were not very good at this job.

But this path is a matter of retreat for one's own side, so it must be carefully explored.

In addition, there was a large amount of treasure that could not be taken away, and Edward himself took the minotaur to hide it somewhere so that he could take it out later.

In short, both of these things were very important, and Edward had very few people on his hands who could trust him except for the Minotaur who could keep them secret.

Then there was the fact that Deis had woken up under the healing of a large number of priests and medicines sent by Edward, and with the strong recovery ability of the Minotaur, he should be able to recover soon.

With the presence of Dyce, a sub-legendary powerhouse, Edward is even more confident.

Then it was Alista who practiced martial arts day and night, coupled with the turmoil during this period of time, he finally made a breakthrough in battle qi, mastered the battle qi out of the body, and officially became a high-level warrior.

Among them, Edward is also because of the sparring with Alista. He mastered deeper martial arts and became a warrior at the peak of the fourth level.

Everything seems to have officially entered orbit, against the backdrop of a series of dungeon battles. The shadow-branded area ushered in a rare calm.

It's just that the arrival of a herald soldier made it impossible for Edward to continue his calm cultivation.

"Sephiroth has entered the city of Konos?" Edward felt that he had misheard.

What is the city of Konos. In the past, the Dark Elf Royal City is now at the forefront of the war, why did Sephiroth run there if he had nothing to do?

"Yes, Lord Edward. Originally, Lord Sephiroth had been baptized in the Dark within the clan, but before the baptism began, Lord Sephiroth had been blessed by the Dragon of Darkness. Because Lord Sephiroth is a god, the baptism ceremony must be carried out by the High Priest in the Dark Temple of the Holy City. The messenger pulled out a letter and gave it to Edward.

After reading the letter, Edward realized that the messenger was not lying.

The letter expressed Sephiroth's joy. At the same time, he said that there was no danger in going to the Dark Temple this time, so there was no need to worry.

"In that case, why are you here in such a panic?" Edward put down the letter and looked at the messenger suspiciously, feeling even more uneasy in his heart.

"That's my lord, and there's a letter from Lord Gardex." The messenger took out another letter.

After opening the letter and reading it suspiciously, Edward was instantly taken aback.

It turned out that Sephiroth had already gone to Konos City, and for fear that Edward would be worried, he asked Gardex to deliver the letter to Edward later.

It's just that two days ago, there was terrible news from the main battlefield.

The Soul Scar Clan, the largest clan of the Dark Elves, has long had an affair with the Dark Council.

On the battlefield the day before yesterday, he suddenly counterattacked. And arranged for a large number of demons to infiltrate the city of Konos.

The Dark Elf Clan Alliance and the Undead Legion were taken off guard, and the situation was precarious.

"How is this possible?!" Edward was stunned, after all, the Soul Scar Clan was the largest of the eight Dark Elf clans, so there was no reason for him to suddenly rebel?

Of course I came back to my senses. But they were even more worried.

Edward didn't care who won or lost, but Sephiroth couldn't care.

"What's Gardex's opinion?" Edward asked, staring at the emissary.

"The Lord said he could take Lord Edward through the secret passages into the Holy City, but not too many of them."

"Okay. I see, you go down. Edward rubbed his head, wondering who to take.

It's a pity that I thought about it for a long time. I don't think there's anyone to take with me, after all, there's a big stall here.

Although Edward did not have too high a lord's consciousness. But if he leaves on his own, then there will definitely be chaos here, which Edward does not want to see.

And if you want to go, you must absolutely trust people, and the only people Edward can absolutely trust are the Minotaurs.

(I found a bug, the minotaurs are all warriors, ignoring the old and weak women and children, everyone here will default to forty or fifty old and weak women and children.) )

But after many battles, there are fewer and fewer minotaur warriors, and there are still so many old and weak women and children to protect them, so Edward doesn't want to take them to do such a dangerous thing anymore.

And although the Minotaur warriors are strong enough, in Konos City, the Minotaurs are too obvious, and now the situation is very complicated, and it is best for Edward to sneak in and find Sephiroth.

Summoning all the generals close to Edward to discuss the matter, Edward was wondering what to say.

After all, the Dark Council can now be said to be victorious, so a guy like himself who has just killed the Dark Council troops will probably be regarded as the number one target by many guys who want to ask for credit from the Dark Council.

And don't forget that most of Edward's troops were former subordinates of the Dark Council, and they were forced to submit to Edward by Edward.

If you knew the news, you might be able to start a mutiny and kill Edward.

It can be said that Edward is now facing a huge crisis.

At worst, the troops will be divided, and at worst, they will be directly killed by their subordinates.

When Edward found his men to be reliable, Edward told you the news.

Most of the dark elves were in an uproar when they learned of the betrayal of the soul scar, and then they all fell silent.

After all, everyone belongs to the rebellion of the Dark Council, and at the same time, Edward also killed a lot of troops of the Dark Council, and now that the Dark Council is going to win, everyone must think about their own way back.

Among you here are two Minotaur heroes, Days and Genna, who are Edward's most important reliance.

The rest are the Three Sisters of the Blood Fountain, the Dark Orc Ogur Butcher's Knife, the Lizard Knight Captain Turan, and the leader of the Flaming Flame Mercenary Regiment, Mocha.

Among them, the three Bloodspring sisters were relatively supportive of Edward in the past, especially Edward, who thought that he had a good relationship with the bloody nuns Mafia and Lisa.

But the most vocal of the three sisters is the more mysterious eldest sister Sarina, and Mafia is crazy, and if she can become a bloody nun, she will naturally not change her decision based on the fact that the two are not deeply related.

And Aug Butcher's Knife, an orc berserker, doesn't have too much intelligence, belongs to the kind of muscular head, and after Edward saved him, he was willing to serve, so there is no need to worry too much.

Turan, this guy showed the quality of wallgrass early on.

However, Turan followed Edward first, and it was difficult to get rid of the imprint of Edward's lineage, so if he wanted to rebel, it was difficult for anyone to believe it.

The remaining Mocha was purely a psychological effect on Edward's special appearance.

In short, Mocha Edward is very relieved, and after contact, it can be seen that Mocha has a very general demeanor, although his personality is very strong and self-judgmental, he is a very principled person.

The remaining major generals under Edward's command were Lancelot, the Shadow Swordsman, and Shuron, the Shadow Assassin.

Xiu Lun is a veteran dark elf, so his inner inclination is definitely not clear.

Lancelot, though loyal to Edward now, doesn't know what to think when the situation changes.

Of course, this is Edward's own feeling, in fact, what will happen to everyone's inner choice, Edward is not sure at all.

Therefore, in order to keep his current foundation, Edward must convince a few people here. (To be continued.) )
