411. Turmoil
"Two adults, I'm really sorry that I couldn't greet me in person."
At this time, Woody did not have a kind of indifference like when he confronted Sean before, but gave people a sense of flattery.
For the Peace Council, Woody can not care, or even ignore the other party, after all, the Peace Council will never interfere in the administration of a liege. But when faced with people from the Church of the God of War, especially the two Holy Sons, Woody couldn't help but care, because these two people were in control of the fate of the entire Wy'an family. If these two holy sons are not satisfied, then it is likely that the entire Wy'an family will suffer, so there is no reason for Woody to be careless.
"It doesn't matter." Reaching out to stop Woody from continuing to speak, a blonde young man said in a deep voice.
This man is one of the two sons of the God of War Church, Pissos.
His facial features look very handsome, coupled with bright blonde hair, and a confident smile on his face, the whole person looks very attractive. His strength is not particularly strong, it is only the peak of the upper holy realm, and it is not a small gap from the legend. But as one of the two holy sons of the God of War Church who can withstand the descent of God, Bissos's status in the God of War Church is naturally not low.
The other man standing beside Pisus was not as handsome as Pisus, but his face was full of fortitude, and his hair was also bright and blonde, but it was not as long as Pisus, but was trimmed short. He stood beside Pissos and didn't speak, but he felt unusually burly, and a bloody aura like a battlefield veteran made it difficult for people to resist in front of him.
This man. It is another son of the God of War Church, Suanso.
On the substance. Bissos is much stronger than Suansu, after all, he is the chief son of the Church of the God of War. became famous much earlier than Su Ansuo, so the accumulated power is naturally greater than Su Ansuo.
But in terms of strength, Suanso is stronger than Pissos.
Unlike Pissos, who was of aristocratic origin, Suanso was only a commoner before he became the Son. He relied on his own efforts to achieve today's achievements step by step, so in terms of battlefield experience, Suanso has more experience than Bissos, especially before becoming the Holy Son, Suanso has been a long-established young celebrity, so it is naturally a very normal thing to be stronger than Bissos in terms of momentum.
It was originally planned this time. It is a strong man or a force from each of the Northern Duchy Federation, who is responsible for stopping the Dark Knights of the St. Joels Empire, and also guarding against the possible entry of the Pure White Winged Knights. As for the demon god who has been rampaging in the territory of the Northern Duchy Federation, the God of War Church has decided to turn a blind eye, anyway, as long as this demon god is not aimed at the Northern Duchy Federation and the God of War Church, then there is no need to cause any conflicts and contradictions.
It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes.
No one expected that the four Paladins who had already acted separately from the Darkface Knights would actually meet halfway through. For this reason, the Church of the God of War also had to regroup and concentrate its efforts to deal with it. And the God of War Church was originally preparing to give the St. Joels Empire an unforgettable result, so it was naturally fighting with all its might, and the two sides launched a bloody battle for half a month.
After this battle, not only the secret army of the St. Joels Empire, the Dark Side Knights, was wiped out. Even Nazar, one of the four chief paladins, has fallen. But on the other hand, the Federation of the Northern Duchy naturally suffered heavy losses. A total of fifteen of the upper Sacred Domain powerhouses fell, and the guards sent out by the major dukes were almost completely wiped out. Even the three legendary powerhouses of the God of War Church were killed in battle and seriously injured one.
In terms of results. The Commonwealth of the Northern Duchy can be described as a heavy loss.
But in terms of glory, the alliance between the Northern Duchy Federation and the God of War Church has given the St. Joels Empire a resounding slap in the face.
Even the three paladin captains who escaped were all injured to varying degrees, although the injuries were not serious, but they were all injured. Because of this, the Church of the God of War was like a shark that suddenly smelled blood, and immediately decided to keep all the four paladins of the St. Joels Empire, so the two Holy Sons who were preparing to deal with Edward and the Pure White Wings were immediately summoned back and launched a hunt for the remaining three paladins.
Following the clues, the two men soon came to the city of Aderoan.
Originally, the two of them didn't want to reveal their identities, but seeing the situation in Aderoan City and the demonic aura they felt when they entered the city, this made the two holy sons suddenly feel a burst of surprise, so they had to come forward to ask Woody about the situation.
"I want to ask, what is the condition of Adroan now?" Pisus glanced at Su Ansuo, and after seeing that the other party did not say anything, he asked in a deep voice, "Why did we see that the entire city was under martial law when we entered the city?" And...... There is also a powerful demonic aura, but at this time, this aura is completely gone, what is going on? ”
Hearing Pisso's words, Woody immediately explained Aderoan's recent situation and everything that Christina had found.
He knew very well that although the Northern Duchy Federation was an autonomous principality, in fact, the influence of the God of War Church was very strong.
Although he is the confidant of the Grand Duke of Hemadion, he is not the only confidant under the command of this Grand Duke, and now the strength of the Wy'an family has suffered heavy losses, and it is easy to be replaced, but if he can be recognized by the God of War Church, then his family status can also be guaranteed, so Woody naturally knows everything and says everything.
However, he did not dare to deceive Pissos and Suansuo, after all, the people who fought with him were the Peace Council, and if he dared to take all the credit, once the East Window incident happened, then his fate would definitely be more pitiful than being abandoned by Archduke Hemadion. It's just that language itself is an art, and although Woody didn't take the credit, he more or less hinted at the importance of his role in this incident, and even the [Wy'an Cavalry Legion], which lost more than half of its command, was described as a warrior who sacrificed his crusade against demons.
After listening to Woody's words, Bissos and Suanso glanced at each other. Naturally, they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
After a moment's silence, it was Pissos who opened his mouth first: "You mean." Now there are people from the Peace Council in Aderoan? ”
"Yes." Although I don't understand what the situation is, I look at the look on Bisso's face. It seemed a little troubled, but Woody didn't dare to say anything, so he could only answer honestly.
"Did they say when they were leaving?" Su Ansuo also frowned slightly, and asked.
Their actions against the Paladin Chief of the St. Joels Empire naturally don't want too many people to know, otherwise if the news leaks, it is very likely to cause a large-scale invasion of the Pure White Winged Knights, and even the St. Joels Empire will immediately take action. The Peace Council can accommodate conflicts and contradictions on a certain scale, but they cannot tolerate large-scale wars involving turmoil in the power structure, so if they know that the Church of the God of War is going to poison the paladins of the St. Joels Empire. With the neurotic character of the Peace Council, it will definitely intervene.
This is naturally not what the God of War Church wants to see.
Although the relationship between the two sons and the Pope of the God of War Church is not very good, they have one thing in common, that is, they both want to see the Northern Duchy Federation become the "Northern Empire". However, it is not an easy task to gain the recognition of the Seven Empires as the eighth Empire, at least it is much more difficult than the means to defeat one Empire and replace it, and because of this, the Church of the God of War is more willing to use this opportunity to severely damage the St. Joels Empire. Thus gaining the possibility of replacing the Empire of St. Joels as an empire.
Woody didn't know about the secrets, but he still said, "Two days at the latest." …… They said that they would be able to lift Aderoan's blockade tomorrow and restore the teleportation magic array. The day after tomorrow, when all the checks are completed, they will leave Aderoan. ”
"Do what they say first. After they leave, martial law will be reinstated. Su Anso suddenly spoke, "But don't restore the teleportation magic array. If anyone asks. It is said to be in a state of maintenance. ”
"Huh?" Hearing Su Anso's words, Woody was a little confused. He was puzzled as to why Aderoan continued to restore military control.
"Just do what Master Suanso said. Got it? Just because Woody doesn't understand doesn't mean Bissos doesn't.
Bissos didn't speak before, just because he didn't react immediately, but at this time, he already understood what Su Anso's plan was.
Obviously, the remaining three paladins had already understood that their identities had been exposed, so it was impossible to secretly leave the territory of the Northern Duchy Federation. For this reason, they also had to desperately expose the possibility of their whereabouts to go to those cities with teleportation magic arrays, and leave through the teleportation magic arrays - of course, it was impossible to leave the Northern Duchy Federation in one step, but they could use the teleportation magic arrays to teleport quickly in short and medium distances.
At this point, as long as you can leave the Northern Duchy Federation, all other means are no longer important.
Bissos knew that the St. Joels Empire had sent a special operations force, apparently to pick up the three paladin chiefs.
Before, they were still wondering why the three paladins would expose their whereabouts near Adroan City, but at this time, they suddenly realized that the other party was coming towards the teleportation array of Adroan City. But I don't know if the other party is unfortunate or what's going on.,I actually encountered the action of the Peace Council to annihilate the demon here.,For this reason, the teleportation magic array is naturally in a state of being closed.,The hope of using the teleportation magic array to leave.,Naturally, it was broken.。
"I see." Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, since it was the two Holy Sons of the God of War Church who spoke, Woody naturally didn't dare to disobey.
"By the way, you go and ask your subordinates if you have seen these people enter the city in the past few days." As Su Ansu opened his mouth, he also handed over a few portraits to Woody, who naturally took the order to leave immediately.
It wasn't until Woody had left that Pissos spoke, "You think they're already in town?" ”
"I don't think so, I must have entered the city." Su Ansuo said lightly, "But with their methods, it is very likely that they will hide from the city lord's soldiers." ”
"In that case, aren't you startling the snake?" Pissos frowned.
"In terms of power, I'm not as good as you." Suanso spoke, "But in terms of strategy. You're not as good as me. ”
Pissos's face was slightly cold, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes.
But Suanso had no fear. He glanced at Pisus before continuing, "The size of Adero City is not small. Even if we go door-to-door to search, or even establish quarantine areas and blockades, we may not be able to find those rats. …… However, if their portraits were to be published, the soldiers patrolling the city would be more likely to find some clues than us, and with the closure of the teleportation magic array, they would not be able to lurk in this unsurvivable soil for long. ”
After listening to this, Bisso's brow was still slightly furrowed. But the anger in his eyes had disappeared. Although he knew that what Su Anso said was the truth, and the two of them had their own victories, otherwise they would not have won the support of different factions of the God of War Church, but at this time, the pride of being the Holy Son still made him pout noncommittally.
He can admit the strength of his opponent, but he will never admit that he is inferior to his opponent.
This is the pride of Bissos.
And Su Ansuo obviously knew about Pissos's problem, so he didn't say anything about his noncommittal appearance, but spoke again: "The next two days." I'd like to see it calmer. …… It always made me feel a little uneasy that we bumped into the people of the Peace Council this time. ”
Regarding Suanso's opinion, Pissos also rarely did not open his mouth to refute or ridicule.
At this moment, the mentality of the two men is surprisingly consistent: no matter what ideas and plans come next. We will have to wait until the members of the Peace Council have left.
……
At the same time, in a small three-story building in the city of Aderoan, there was a slight smell of blood in the air.
A woman is carrying away a basin of blood that has turned scarlet.
Three people who didn't look very old were sitting around the fire. Two of them had bandages around their bodies, while the other had bandages around their arms. The faces of the three men looked rather embarrassed. But if there was any serious injury, it wasn't. At least the spirit of these three people is still good.
A young man passed by the woman and brought in some food.
It is a hard patty unique to the Commonwealth of the Northern Duchy, and it is usually used as dry food, and it is a favorite food of the poor because it can be stored for a long time.
When the hard patties were served, the three began to devour them, and the young man took two of them and walked them to the side of the corner and placed them in front of the other man. If Edward or Enkos had been around at this time, they would have recognized the man who looked very decadent in the corner, who was none other than Diane.
He glanced at the young man, didn't say anything, and started eating the meatloaf as well.
Diane's injuries are quite serious, and he basically has no ability to continue fighting, but his vitality is not weak, so there are no other problems at this time except for looking defeated and haggard. And along the way, because of the intentional protection of the four paladin chiefs, even if he was attacked by the God of War Church, he was not injured, but was much healthier than the four paladin chiefs.
In fact, if it weren't for the protection of Diane from dying under the frantic attack of the God of War Church this time, none of the four Paladins would have fallen, and the Darkface Knights would not have been wiped out because of this. It's a pity that there is no if in this world, so Nazar died, Ziggs was wounded in his left hand, Laurent was slashed in the back, and Yebion was also shot in the abdomen, but the God of War Church that fought with them naturally paid a very heavy price.
But even with such a brilliant result, the only three remaining paladins were not happy at all.
"You're saying that the city of Aderoan is now under martial law?" Ziggs looked at the young man, then asked with a frown, "Even the teleportation magic array has been turned off?" ”
"Yes." The young man said with some anxiety.
He and his wife are one of the many pawns planted by the St. Joles Empire on the side of the Northern Duchy Federation, and are responsible for transmitting some information about the North Duchy Federation back to the St. Joles Empire. For the Paladin Chief of the St. Joels Empire, they naturally admired it for a long time, so seeing the arrival of the Paladins at this time, one can imagine how excited and excited the couple were, so much so that they all ignored the injuries of the three Paladins.
Hearing the young man's words, Yebien on the side also frowned: "Do you know what's going on?" ”
"I only heard that it is related to the Peace Council, but I didn't inquire about the specific information." The young man replied.
"If it has anything to do with the Peace Council, then it's probably related to the demonic aura that disappeared just now." Laurent took a bite of a large piece of meatloaf, and then spoke, "I've heard that the Peace Council came to the Commonwealth of the Northern Duchy this time to exterminate a group of infidels. That demonic aura has completely disappeared, which means that the demon should have been destroyed, and if it were a standard procedure, the Peace Council should stay here for two more days to deal with the aftermath and inspection. ”
"But two days is too dangerous for us." Yebien said in a deep voice, "The Church of the God of War can already be said to be in full swing, and our traces are likely to have been exposed, and we will definitely attract those guys when the time comes." ”
At this moment, Yebion didn't know that the two sons of the God of War Church were actually following their footsteps into the city.
It's just that when they entered the city, they happened to start a death battle with Sean and others and the Black Horn Phantom, so no one saw them enter the city. And when the two holy sons of the God of War Church entered the city, it happened that Sean and the others had already solved the black-horned illusion, so naturally someone reported to Woody.
"Even if we want to leave now, it's impossible, I didn't expect Aderoan's teleportation magic array to be closed, this is a miscalculation for us." Ziggs said in a deep voice, "Anyway, no matter what, we have to have a big battle with the God of War Church and fight our way out, so it's better to take advantage of these two days to take a good rest and restore our state." …… It's just that in the next situation, we probably won't be able to take Diane with us anymore. ”
The few people present also understood that with Diane's words, they naturally couldn't fight with all their strength because they had to be distracted to take care of Diane. It was because of the loss they suffered in this regard that they caused Nazar to be killed, and the three people present felt a little guilty about this.
"It seems that we can only put Diane here for the time being, and then come back to pick Diane when we go back and make new arrangements." Yebeon spoke.
"That's all there is to it." Ziggs nodded, "Xiaobai must have brought someone over to support, as long as we hold on." …… If we let the people of the Peace Council intervene, I am afraid that things will become very troublesome, so let's take shelter here for the next two days. ”
The people of the God of War Church were worried about the Peace Council meddling because they felt that the people of the Peace Council would certainly not allow the situation in the Northern Continent to become massively unstable. Because of this, the Church of the God of War and the people of the Northern Duchy Federation believe that the Peace Council will definitely intervene to protect the Paladin Captain of the St. Joels Empire.
But again, Ziggs and the others didn't want to make contact with the people in the Peace Council, because this time they were kidnapping. If the people of the Peace Council knew, they would definitely choose to rescue Diane, after all, Diane's mission was to destroy the demon god Edward, and it was impossible for the people of the Peace Council to watch the people of the St. Joels Empire do such a thing that violated the peace of the continent for their own selfish desires.
It can be said that both the Church of the God of War and the St. Joels Empire do not want to meet with the people of the Peace Council because of their respective concerns.
Because of this, the two of them naturally did not know that at this time, Aderoan City was not only present by the Church of the God of War, the Peace Council, and the Saint Joles Empire, but also the Void Grand Duke, who had been equated with a disaster by many people in the Southern Continent, was also in Aderoan City at this time. And the people of the God of War Church didn't know that Sean was going to leave here as soon as the teleportation magic array was restored, and I was afraid that if they knew, they would definitely not let Woody continue to close the teleportation magic array.
Equally.
Because of their own concerns and mentality, these people naturally don't know that the head of the Seven Sages, the Disciple of Destiny, who left from looking at the spire. Oscar, at this time, has also entered the city of Adroan unconsciously and unknowingly. (To be continued......)
PS: There are some things tonight, so the update is a little earlier. In order to make the plot more coherent, I just combined the two chapters into one.
