The young man in the black robe is just as young as he remembers. He greeted him so naturally, as if he was welcoming a loved one who had not been separated for a long time. People who don't know the inside story probably won't think that these two brothers have been separated for eleven years.

Eleven years is never a short time in any era. It is enough for a child to grow into a young adult. Eleven years ago, Sinloth was a little kid with unrealistic fantasies. Eleven years later, Sinloth is the father of two children and the lord of a land.

If there is no resentment, it is false. As a biological brother, he left his young brother behind and went to pursue the so-called dream alone. And in 11 years, there has been no news. Such selfishness, such ruthlessness. But it wasn't until Cynroth embarked on the road to the Demon Realm that he really understood why Cynroth himself was not like this? The world is so complicated that there is never really right or wrong.

The black-haired young man looked at the familiar face, and the mustard in his heart slowly wiped away. In the bright morning light, the lips of the long-haired beautiful young man were hooked, and his eyes smiled like crescents.

"Long time no see, brother."

When the two brothers who hadn't seen each other for many years greeted each other, the remaining big witches were not idle. Several other big witches have already led the queen's fleet to retreat according to Fei Yi's arrangement. And the few who stayed behind obviously had their own thoughts.

Priscilla's cold gaze stared at the dark-haired Sinloth, a faint puzzle flashing in her eyes. Resemble. It's so much like that. This warmth that comes out of the soul is like the sun. No amount of darkness can hide the sun's rays.

But unlike her father, who could shake the world with one hand. My father's light was too dazzling for people to look at directly. Absolute power brings absolute authority. And the temperature of Xinluos from the soul makes people involuntarily want to get close to him, snuggle in his arms, and obey his orders.

His father, to be exact. Like the midday sun, domineering and fierce. And Sinloth is the rising sun. Bright and warm.

But it can't be. Sinloth couldn't be his reincarnation, not to mention that maybe the ancient god-king could really do such a miraculous thing, but if he was really reincarnated, the Throne of Despair couldn't have reacted at all.

Xanalott chewed something in her mouth. The green-robed woman in gloves poked the dragon girl's hand. Cast an inquiring look.

What do you think? Isn't it alike? Is this guy your dad after all?

The witch, who had both the blood of the gods and the dragon clan flowing in her body, nodded and shook her head again.

It's really like, but it shouldn't be him.

Xanalot wasn't very disappointed, she had made a special trip back to the Throne of Despair in order to confirm some of the thoughts in her mind. The ancient and cold throne seems to have been abandoned by time, and it is still the same as it was thousands of years ago.

It's just that. Since the creation of the world, there have been many strong men. But this kind of warmth can be felt from the depths of the soul. There are only two people who can make the other party submit without force, and they are two gods. The souls of one have been divided, and the souls that have been split, Xanalot, know their whereabouts. And the other

So, who exactly is Sinloth? Today, when the tide of magic has long since receded, it is impossible for such a high-quality soul to appear in the human world under any circumstances.

Xanalot's eyes scanned back and forth at the dazed and ignorant Sinloth, and a strange smile appeared

Sniff, sniff.

Sirius sniffed, trying to smell Cynroth. This very beautiful big brother has a very comfortable feeling on him, like basking in the warm sun. However, Sirius was not concerned about this now, from the very beginning, there was a strong smell of heather on Sinloth and Marianna.

There is no sun in the underworld, and although there is some glimmer plant lighting, it is absolutely impossible for heather to grow in that kind of place. I don't know where the smell of heather on their bodies comes from.

Sirius is the most fond of heather.

Fei Yi saw Sirius's small movements, and of course the big sister with the umbrella knew what the smell of heather was. I don't know how old the old woman is, but when she looks at the vain steps of Sinloth and the contented sleeping face of Mariana, she knows what the situation is. And all of this, for Sirius, is too early.

Fei Yi knocked on Sirius's little head, and instantly received Sirius's angry gaze. Fei Yi ignored the little one, and she stood between the two brothers who had been reunited after a long absence, interrupting their reminiscence.

"I'm sorry, both of you. I know you haven't seen each other in a long time, but I have to interrupt you. Fay smiled at Andiel, who nodded in response. After this meeting, he did not plan to go back to the Everglades for the time being. In the future, there will be an opportunity to speak, and there is no hurry at this time.

"Sinloth, I hope you don't get involved in the next war." Fei Yi restrained his smile and said to the young viscount seriously, "I know your feelings for the Empire, whether it is out of justice or selfishness, you don't want the Empire to be hurt. But you see, I'm not doing this entirely for the witch clan I'm sorry, and I can't tell you the real reason for this moment. If you still believe me, please leave. The next war will become more and more brutal. ”

"You are important to us, please don't embarrass me anymore. Plus, the empire is far more powerful than you think. Arcadia almost completely unified the whole world back then, in addition to being an unborn genius herself, the power of the empire itself also played a very big role Never underestimate the empire, believe me, you never know about it. Even I never wanted to destroy it, I just wanted to weaken it for a while. ”

Fei Yi's gaze was very sincere, but for this kind of old fox who had lived for an unknown number of years. Cynroth really didn't know how much truth there was in her words. It was she who planned the attack on the Imperial Navy, causing countless people to die in the fire. It's also her. Summoned dragons and crushed the Imperial Navy's counterattack. If it weren't for Sinloth's presence, he really couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

If hundreds of thousands of troops are wiped out, even if it is an empire, it will definitely break its muscles and bones for a while. And the Normans, who had no rivals in the north, did not know how much damage they would bring to this ancient country. Two kingdoms that have long been blood feuds. But this statement has never been forgiven.

Fei Yi, this beautiful woman, is the culprit who has caused the separation of countless family wives. No matter how beautiful the face is. Nor can it hide the gore of her hands.

It's just that she saved herself. And

[The storm in the north has risen, and there is nothing in the world that can stop it. In the face of overwhelming storms, even eagles. also had to temporarily rein in his wings. And swifts in the wind. But in this endless storm, soar to your heart's content. Fly, North! 】

[1. Although the Normans are menacing, although the Imperial Navy has suffered a big loss now, the main force is still there. The opportunity for revenge is there, and there is no rush at this time. 】

[2. The wedding has been postponed again and again, and I don't want Mariana to attend my wedding with a big belly, which is not decent. 】

System. You actually think it's better for me to flash people, right?

Sinloth admitted. After getting through the second stage of secondary school, which was the self-proclaimed child of destiny, he became more and more dependent on the system. This self-proclaimed absolutely correct cheat dad thing is constantly confirming his correctness in front of Xinluos.

Xinlos thought about it again and again, looked at Marianna sleeping soundly in her arms, and finally made up her mind. Facing Fei Yi's expectant gaze, Xinlos nodded silently

Last night's Norman attack was much more tragic than Sinlos had imagined. Sinlos walked through the barracks, his ears filled with the painful wails of the wounded, and some wounded soldiers who could not stand the pain begged for their robes to be sent to heaven for eternal peace.

Greek fire is so terrible that this inhumane weapon, with even a little touch, is completely difficult to remove. This terrible weapon, which would burn itself when it touched the air, took the lives of many Imperial warriors in that terrible night.

The attack of Greek fire, the night attack of the Normans, the soldiers who bombed the camp, the roar of the dragon. Even Sinloth himself felt that it was a miracle that the Imperial Navy did not collapse under such circumstances.

"My efforts have not been completely in vain. It's a pity, if there is still a little bit of the original bottle left, maybe I can save some more people and go back to think of a way, ask Nanoka if there is a way to copy the original bottle, even if the effect is worse"

Sinloth admits that he is selfish. They know their enemies, but they can't avenge these innocent soldiers. With a little guilt, Sinlos came to the water lord's tent

Shui Jue rubbed his temples, looking extremely headache. Although he finally held it after all the hard work, he did not have the strength to continue the pursuit. After purging the Normans who had been left behind in the camp, the Water Lord was in endless trouble.

The generals of the five fleets of the empire were not subordinate to each other, and with Basil's intentional connivance, relations were never good. Now that they have suffered this kind of defeat, they are even more displeasing to each other. Blaming each other in an attempt to get each other to take the blame.

The First Fleet accused the Second Fleet of failing to give timely warning, the Second Fleet accused the Third Fleet of being too lax in patrolling at night, the Third Fleet accused the Fourth Fleet of being in a state of disarray, and the Fourth Fleet accused the Fifth Fleet of completely ignoring the righteousness of its comrades and only caring about its own escape. The Fifth Fleet accused the First Fleet of being powerless and unable to even stop a wave of Norman attacks.

The five imperial generals were arguing and shouting, just like a shrew scolding the street, and there was no dignity of an imperial general at all. It wasn't until Shui Jue announced that he would take the responsibility this time that he left satisfied.

The loss was too great, and the Greek fire attack burned most of the Imperial ships and supplies hoarded in warehouses. The soldiers of the five fleets suffered heavy losses, and according to preliminary estimates, the total casualties of the five fleets even exceeded 100,000. That's it, the empire is vast, as long as you spend a little time, you can always replenish it. But the negative effects of the Norman attack. But it's definitely not limited to that.

With such an advantage, they can be broken through the defense line head-on by the opponent and pressed to the doorstep. The confidence of the navy in victory was shaken. Many bad rumors began to circulate in the barracks. And the terrifying White Fleet in the darkness has cast a thick shadow on the prospects of the navy.

The legend of the Queen's fleet was widespread throughout the Empire, and in the darkness, countless people saw the warships made of ice and snow. Quite simply, it is reminiscent of this legendary fleet. And some bad rumors, based on this, began to circulate.

Queen, Fleet, Tyrant of Arcadia, Wizard of the Templar Order, Normans.

Many elements form a dense web. Surround the ignorant Water Lord in it. Facing the net that was getting tighter and tighter, and even wanted to strangle him in it, Shui Jue didn't even know how to fight back. It can be described as uncomfortable and abnormal.

And that's not all he needs to worry about.

"Sorry, Lord Duke. However, it seems that you are powerless to protect the safety of the people of the Empire, of course. I believe in the power of His Majesty the Emperor and you. Under the command of His Majesty Basil. You will surely defeat the ignorant Normans and win the final victory. But before that, how many innocent and kind people of the empire would die under the sword of those Normans? ”

"As a clergyman, I keep the Lord's teachings. Those who are willing to believe in the Lord are my brothers and sisters. But since it is those ferocious heretics, there is no need to say anything more about it, Your Excellency Duke, in order to protect the safety of the believers of the Empire. As the Plenipotentiary Envoy of His Majesty the Pope, I think. Now that the other side has waged a holy war, we should also launch a crusade to protect the safety of the people of the Empire. Of course, after completing the Holy War, the Crusaders will return to their homeland in accordance with the laws of the Empire, and will definitely not cause any trouble to you and the Emperor. ”

It's strange to believe you!

That's right, the young man in front of him who persuaded him to start a crusade was also one of the reasons for his headache. Short red hair, red monk's uniform, red eyes. The whole body of the friar was like a dancing flame, and it was blood-red.

Although it was a consultative word, there was a bit of doubt in the tone. And her eyes were also full of provocation. Through the thin monk's robes, you can even faintly smell the pungent smell of blood.

Even if he really wiped out his army, he was also born as a demon after all. As a member of the Capet, it was impossible for Governor Louis not to speak for him. And looking at his past exploits and friendships, Basil put him under house arrest at most. Even if a political opponent attacks, at most he gouges out his eyes or becomes a eunuch, and he has no worries about his life.

His Majesty Arcadia managed to send the two major Knights of the Cross Church into the dust of history, and the Knights Templar, under the suppression of the Empire, were only surviving. The suppression of the Knights of the Crucifixion has always been one of the national policies of the Empire.

If the crusader is really rebuilt, then no one can really save him.

What does the Crusader have to do with the Knights of the Church? The Crusaders have all been formed, so is it up to the Empire? That army of fanatical beliefs, even Arcadia as an opponent, gave a fairly high rating.

That's a completely crazy army. If it weren't for the fact that their opponent was the Royal Knights, it would be really difficult to say who would win and who would lose if they relied on the ironclad pallads alone. However, there are no more Royal Knights in the Empire.

"Thank you for your kindness. His Majesty the Pope has always been known for his kindness, and I don't think he could bear to see the faithful wounded and bleeding. And defending the empire is the duty of our soldiers, please believe in our ability"

"Really? But the other side has already started a holy war like us. As the shepherds of the Lord, we cannot agree with this. The Lord is so gracious that He is willing to leave any sinner a chance to repent. But sometimes, it still takes a long sword in your hand to calm them down. ”

The red-haired woman smiled, but her words became more and more unkind. In any case, now that the Normans have waged a holy war against the Empire, the Crucifixion, as the state religion of the Empire, must respond.

Of course, Shui Jue also understands this, and this is where the other party's greatest reliance lies. You say, well, why did the Normans have to come up with the slogan of jihad? Doesn't that give the Crucifixion a reason to intervene?

In fact, if there is no flag of jihad. Even the boneless could not dominate a scattered Norman. Although he became the leader and high priest of the Normans, he was dissatisfied with his cruelty. There are still a lot of people. The Water Lord may have known this, but he subconsciously ignored it.

"The stakes are so high that I can't decide on my own, and I have to consult His Majesty Basil. I think that although Your Excellency is the plenipotentiary representative of His Majesty the Pope, this kind of thing must also need to be consulted by His Majesty the Pope, right? ”

The other party pressed so tightly that Shui Jue, who was entangled in everything, had no mind to deal with it. This is the case with the Navy. It was when he needed to adjust all parties, and how could he have so much effort to accompany her. I had no choice but to procrastinate. The Norman War. I'm afraid it can't be over in a few months. Anyway, let's delay it for a few months.

"Oh, on this, please rest assured. Before I came. It has been granted the full authority of His Majesty the Pope. You see. This is a document signed by His Majesty the Pope himself, and in extraordinary circumstances I can make any decision on his behalf. ”

The red friar placed a letter of appointment with the Pope's insignia on his desk, and after confirming it repeatedly, he had to admit that it was real.

Who the hell is this guy? How can you get this level of permission? Even the cardinals, who are in the highest position other than the Pope, are not likely to receive such a confession, right? Is this guy really just the head of a chaplain tour?

And just when the water lord was extremely entangled. The guard at the door came to Shui Jue's side and whispered a few words in his ear. Shui Jue's eyes lit up. Shouting outside the door, "Quick, please let him in." ”

Sinloth walked into the tent, and the first thing he saw was the sparkling gaze of the Water Lord. Although I know that the other party is not elegant, there is no habit of going the wrong way. But in the face of that terrible look, Xinlos still subconsciously tightened his ass.

"Well, Your Excellency the Duke, in fact, I have come here to say goodbye. In accordance with the sacred imperial code, I have fulfilled my obligations as a vassal. I want to go back."

If according to the Imperial Code, then the vassal gave the vassal a domain, and the vassal had to use force to maintain the vassal glory. According to the imperial code, when a feudal lord sends an army, the vassal is obliged to follow the army. Of course, under the constant tug-of-war of the Senate, the emperor made a compromise. In order to protect the interests of the lower nobles, there was a time limit for the time when the vassals could send troops.

And this limit is usually forty days. Of course, after forty days, the vassal's willingness to stay is his own business. And since Xinluo embarked on the journey, it has been far more than forty days. Detrumely, Shui Jue can't stop him from going back.

But imperialism, the emperor has the right to interpret a qiē law. Although I don't think Shui Jue will covet dozens of people like him, but before leaving, I have to say hello to others.

The water lord raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Xinlos to say this. But then he was relieved, after all, the empire could be said to have failed miserably last night, and it was normal for him to lose confidence in the empire when he was young. For the fiefdom aristocracy, it is always their own fief as important, especially for emerging nobles like Fan Zhuo. Now Norman is strong, and the opponent wants to go back to defend the territory, so to speak.

alas

Shui Jue sighed secretly, but he still reluctantly smiled: "That's the case." Also, after all, Fan Zhuo has only been in the territory for less than a year, and many things must not have been arranged, so I agreed. However, before I do that, I happen to have one thing I would like to ask for your opinion. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

The water lord glanced at the red monk, and since Sinloth came in, the red monk's gaze has always been on Sinloth. She seemed to see something extremely incredible, but she didn't seem to be very sure. The red eyes were full of doubts, and because of the presence of Shui Jue, she couldn't go up directly to ask.

This guy, know Sinloth?

"That's right." Shui Jue pressed the doubts in his heart and cleared his throat: "You also saw what happened last night." The atrocities of the Normans provoked the wrath of the church. Since the other side has directly launched a holy war against us, we naturally cannot show weakness. The monk wanted to start a crusade to help the emperor and preserve the dignity of the empire. As a nobleman of the Empire, what do you think? ”

The Water Lord looked at Sinloth with an eager gaze in his eyes. As an imperial nobleman, you should understand, right?

The viscount blinked, understanding the old fox's intentions. Damn, this old bastard himself refused to refuse to his face, and as a result, he was pushed out as a substitute for the dead?

However, this kind of question about the position really cannot be ambiguous. The most important thing for a man is not where his position is, but that he must have a position. Although he understood the sinister intentions of the Water Jue, the Viscount had no way out.

Just as Sinlos wanted to speak, praising the strength of the empire and the certainty that the empire would be victorious under the guidance of Emperor Basil, the red-clothed friar spoke.

"The Empire and the Church have always been brotherly states. Now that the empire is in trouble, how can the church stand idly by, right, Lord Aihua? ”

There was a strange brilliance in her red eyes, and a faint strange fluctuation was released from her eyes. Faced with such a gaze, Xinluo only felt a trance in his heart. And the words that originally came to the lips have completely changed.

Sinlos raised his right hand and said with a resolute face, "This monk is right, it is the duty of the church to uphold justice in the world. The believers in the world are a family, and it is not a shameful thing to accept help from brothers, the church is just, and the crusaders will definitely exterminate those infidels, because the number of troops is limited, so I will sign up. ”

And as soon as he said that, Sinloth regretted it.

it! What the hell just happened!! What did he say!! (To be continued......)

PS:, the second pressure failed!
