"What!? The fall of Dawn Fortress... Isellon's whereabouts unknown... The Remnant of Light, Bethlehem, 'purified' the Death Preacher with the Holy Grail!? Looking at the thin sheet of paper in her hand, Queen Griffin was so gripping that she couldn't stop trembling with her hands.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there should be nothing wrong with Count Asay's sending griffon knights to fly back day and night to deliver military information. And..."

"And what?" Seeing that the Minister of War wanted to speak and stopped, the queen was rarely dissatisfied and shouted softly, she was really stimulated too much by the defeat of the military situation in the northeast.

"And according to the Griffin Knight who sent the letter, someone from the Church of Light has entered the Earl of Arsay's Mansion in Greenland, and it seems that he wants to negotiate with the kingdom." Reajean gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Negotiating!? What do we have to talk about with those remnants!? Queen Griffin immediately said angrily.

"Your Majesty, please restrain your anger." At this moment, Mrs. Rochester, who was also the Queen's poetry teacher and close friend, reminded softly.

"Okay." Suppressing the anger in her heart, Queen Griffin sat back on the throne and looked at the Minister of War: "What do they want to talk about?" ”

"Negotiate peace..."After thinking about it, Reajean told him according to the original words of the message.

"Ridiculous!"

It is really arrogant and unscrupulous for the remnants of the Church of Light to dare to make such a plan, and their ambition to turn the land into a king and break the territory is even more obvious.

"Your Majesty, those people dare to put forward such a fallacy, there is something to rely on."

On the other side, Secretary of State Georgia stepped forward. He served successively as the secretary of the previous king, Ling, and the finance minister of the previous king, and was a true patriarch of the three dynasties with a high status.

"Qing's opinion is..."

"Whether or not it is true, as the intelligence says, the Death Preachers of the Temple of the Holy Spirit raised an army to attack the Fortress of Dawn, only to be defeated by the Church of Light. Now the fortress has fallen into the hands of those remnants, but it is an indisputable fact. In this way, the kingdom lost absolute control of its northern borders. The far-reaching dangers are self-evident. Georgia was old and bright-eyed: "Therefore, the Church of Light has a bargaining chip, which can turn darkness into light to wrestle and play head-on with the kingdom." ”

"Are you saying that if we don't agree to make the so-called 'peace', they will dare to sell the Fortress of Dawn to the spirits of Dejia!?" The queen was almost on the verge of being filmed.

"Selling shouldn't be talked about. But there are certainly a lot of small movements. It is more likely to use the name of Dejia to stir up trouble in the northeast region and disrupt the ruling order of the local aristocracy. ”

Compared to other regions, Greenland and the surrounding two or three counties were relatively less affected by demonic invasions, so the war losses were not very large, and together with Standwell and the Dukedom of Lorraine, they formed the strategic rear of the kingdom. Once this area is shaken or even changed, it will be a serious blow to Erathia's current overall anti-demon situation.

"These thieves!" Queen Griffin gritted her teeth and cursed.

"So, I suspect that those remnants will use the pretext of 'helping' the kingdom to defend the Northeast Frontier and the Fortress of Dawn with all sorts of 'unbearable' conditions. And may take this opportunity to directly re-establish the name of the Church of Light in the kingdom. Georgia sneered slightly and said.

"Delusional!" The queen stood up from the throne and said angrily: "Back then, the first king gathered the strength of the whole country and worked hard to expel and wipe out these hypocritical, greedy, and vain gods who tried to permanently enslave the entire human race. Now, they're planning to make a comeback? As the queen of Erathia, I will not allow such a thing to happen in order to protect my people! ”

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

Angry at the sight of the Queen. The Minister of State, the Minister of War, and several other key ministers present immediately bowed down in unison.

"Georgia, how do you think we should deal with the current situation?" After continuous deep breaths. Queen Griffin asked as she sat down slowly.

"Drag." The Minister of State's eyes rolled slightly, and spat out a word.

"Drag?"

"Yes." Georgia nodded: "I don't explicitly accept or directly refuse the Church of Light's request for 'peace', and the royal capital will send a team of vassals and join Count Arsai to mediate with the other party." No conditions are agreed, and no refutation is made to the face. Just grind the time slowly. At the same time, please inform all the counties of the kingdom of the Church of Light's occupation of the Fortress of Dawn, and order the royal legions and local nobles to be armed and immediately make every effort to strangle and sabotage all known strongholds of Light. Be sure to clear the kingdom of hidden dangers in a short period of time. In this way, just clean up the local congregational elements of light. Even if the Dawn Fortress changes hands temporarily, the other party will become a tree without roots and water without a source, and will only be trapped in that barren land with no production. ”

In addition, the minister also suggested that screening and raiding should also be carried out secretly within the kingdom's legions. I don't believe that without the cooperation of the inner ghosts, those remnants would have been able to take Dawn Fortress so easily. At this time, the Minister of War also added in a deep voice.

"Of course, in order to make full use of the local armed forces, but also to avoid unnecessary waste within the kingdom, please also ask Your Majesty to order the commanders of each legion, because of some 'inconsequential small frictions' with the local nobles in the early stage of the Anti-Demon War, appropriate concessions must be made."

"Good." After listening to Georgia and Rejean's old words, the queen nodded, and patted the gauntlet of the throne with some annoyance, and said: "I have said that some things are only temporary pains, and some things are serious troubles. Now it seems, sure enough! Ladies and Gentlemen, Erathia is in a predicament of internal and external difficulties, and it is necessary for everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties. ”

After saying this, Queen Griffin ordered Mrs. Rochester to draw up a will, which was stamped and sent to all counties of the country as soon as it was stamped.

At the same time, a secret team led by Sunderland, the Undersecretary of the Interior, was appointed to Greenland County to meet with Earl Asay, to "negotiate slowly" with the representative of the Church of Light, and to investigate the whereabouts of the four human churches headed by the Marquis of Iserlon. Whether you live or die, you must be clear.

Due to the importance of the matter, the royal family even dispatched a group of precious crown griffin knights belonging to the "Griffon's Crown" to fly to those counties far away from the royal capital with the queen's will, so that the noble forces everywhere must act at the same time.

A few days later, the Royal Central Army and the Kent County Alliance, which were still in a faint confrontation and fighting for territory in the southeast of Oger, quickly reached a mutual understanding and reconciliation as soon as they received the Queen's message.

After a series of intense negotiations, His Royal Highness Prince Heber, on behalf of the Griffin royal family, recognized the actual interests of the Kent coalition in Augshire, and promised that the land, estate, and population would remain the property of a group of local nobles led by Salk and Ensberg after the war.

As a result, the Salk family succeeded in one fell swoop thanks to their newly acquired estate, resources, and prestige accumulated during the war. Prince Haeper also said that he would contact Standwell as soon as possible and ask the Queen to send a representative to Kent to formally confer an ear on Salk.

At the same time, the Ensberg family, which also seized huge benefits, also successfully promoted from baron to viscount. However, for some explicit or covert reasons, Ensberg exchanged his original land in Kent with the Salk family's newly acquired territory in Augshire. In addition to keeping an Ivy estate, Baron Ensberg completely withdrew his family's power from Kent and concentrated on his roots in Augershire.

Although the Earl of Salk was happy to do this, he also saw a hidden ambition of his old friend Ensberg.

As a price for obtaining concessions from the royal family, the Kent Coalition will immediately return to Kent with the Central Army led by Prince Haiber to eliminate the Church of Light elements entrenched in Sosk, and strive to eliminate the aristocratic rule of the entire Kent County in the shortest possible time.

Of course, not long after the queen's will was conveyed to the counties, the insiders of the Church of Light also found out a lot of news through various channels. As a result, church branches everywhere also took action to deal with the strong purge from the aristocratic forces.

"Only the light shines on the world! Bishop Knowson! ”

In the newly built central chapel in Southsone, including the mid-level Light Priest Milan, the captain of the Holy Sword Cavalry Company, Gao Tower, the Punishment Paladin White, and several other mid-level paladins were all prostrate at the feet of an old man wearing a white robe and a white hat.

And beside the old man, there was also a thin figure, all shrouded in a thick coarse black robe, showing no face. The only thing visible was the figure's bare feet, both the soles and insteps of which were covered with hideous wound scars, extending to the ankles, as if they had been beaten and pumped a thousand times.

"I came from the headquarters and brought the will of the people of Burleigh Evergrande."

As one of the high-ranking ministers of the Church of Light, Norson is known for his strict personality and strict adherence to canons and canons in everything he says and does, and he is also a member of the Church's bishopric and wields great power.

"Yes! I would like to ask the Bishop. ”

When they heard Bethlehem's name, everyone present was shocked, and then they hurriedly lowered their heads deeply. White, in particular, seemed to tremble slightly with his low body.

"The Griffin family, who have stolen the human throne, have issued an order to order the nobles of all regions to join Griffin's legions to launch an attack on our church. According to credible information, the Salck-Ensberg coalition, which had been fighting in Augershire, also began to return yesterday and will arrive here in less than a week to attack. ”

"Your Excellency, I will defend the glory of God to the death, and will not take a step back." At this time, the Milan priest, who was the head of Sosk, grabbed the ground with his head and cut the railway.

"Yes, the shepherds of our gods are to be fearless of sacrifice. and he that perisheth on earth shall rise again in the kingdom of heaven. Looking down at Milan at his feet, Knolson nodded slightly, and changed his words: "However, we can't just wait for the nobles to do evil, but also take the initiative to go out and punish and redeem them!" I declare that all of Sosk's armed forces will immediately regroup and begin their assault on Windsor Castle early tomorrow morning. ”

"I'm going to be in the lair of the sinner Salk, waiting for him to return!"

With a snap, a vigorous light lit up from around the senior priest, and the chapel was blinded. (To be continued......)
