167. Showdown with Clov

Settled. The arrival of Sermaises really helped Hella solve a very difficult problem. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But in fact, this kind of war is actually a means of the power of the God of War King, as long as the leader of the Sanctioner Legion can lead his army to win this battle, then the prestige of the God of War Kingdom can be increased again, and even its influence can be widely radiated because of this.

After all, now that the St. Joles Empire is in a situation where it is difficult to protect itself, it is really difficult to divide its troops to take care of these vassal states.

But even after knowing this information and knowing this news, there is still a panic spreading in Hela's heart.

She looked at her comrades in the tent with excitement and joy, and Hela struggled to smile on her face, she couldn't show this panic, otherwise it would have an immeasurable impact on the expeditionary force. And all this is definitely not what Hela wants to see, but I don't know why, but she still has a very tired sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Alfred, keenly aware of this.

So, he stretched out his hand to stop the joy of the people in the tent, and said, "Well, the biggest problem that is about to be put in front of us has been contracted by others, but we still have to face other obstacles. However, I believe that these problems are not enough to stump us, so let's go at the same pace as before, and that's the end of today's meeting, so let's go back and rest. ”

"Yes." The generals stood up and answered, and many could see that Alfred obviously had something to talk to Hela, so it was not very convenient for them to stay here, so they left the camp one after another.

This time, however, both Hela and Alfred could hear the generals whispering as they left, about "Sean. The frequency with which the name "Connally" appears has become apparently unusually high.

And all this, of course, comes from what he said before Settling down.

Even if Sean is not in the Void Empire for the time being, he still arranges everything about the Void Empire, this almost prophetic ability makes these generals who have not fought side by side with Sean can't help but recall the title about Sean at the beginning.

Lord of Miracles.

Lord of War.

Lucky Son.

These titles fully show Sean's achievements and influence back then, but as time passes, few people will remember these anymore. Of course, the reason why these people subconsciously choose to ignore it is actually related to Sean's seldom participation in large-scale legion operations in his later years - Sean's last action dates back to the conflict with the Peace Council more than two years ago.

But now, these generals have finally remembered Sean's past exploits and the rumored magical command ability that is planned in the strategic.

"KrΓΆf, you can stay too." Seeing that Clov was about to leave, Alfred also shouted, and the former glanced back, and only stopped when he saw that Hela meant the same thing.

In fact, Clov has always been well aware of his embarrassment.

He is a close confidant of Cecilia's bodyguard, and although he also obeys the command of Hela, William and others, in fact, Clov has always felt that they are just colleagues in two systems. Therefore, he has never been too close to Hela, William, Alfred, Rena and others, of course, he also knows very well that the other party will not be happy to get too close to him, after all, the object of his sworn allegiance is not Sean.

But at the moment, Hela and Alfred want to keep themselves, which is not a common situation.

"Holy Emily, how much do you know about this name?" Seeing that the people in the tent had left, Hela finally spoke in a deep voice.

"The Holy Maiden of the Church of the God of War is said to have ascended to the throne by very iron-blooded means, and in a few years, the entire Northern Duchy Federation has been integrated into a new theocratic kingdom, and the conflict with the St. Joels Empire is also becoming increasingly fierce." It was Alfred who spoke, although he was a general, but he was also the head of a mercenary regiment at the beginning, plus he was nurtured by William and Hela, he has always been very serious about intelligence work, "The one who settled down just now. Semys should be one of the six gods of the God of War Kingdom today. It's hard for me to evaluate his personal strength, and there are few battle reports that leak out, but judging from the fact that he dared to come to us alone, I'm afraid his strength is not weak. ”

"Legendary powerhouse." Alexis, who had never spoken, added at this moment, "In terms of personal strength alone, all the people in the tent you just went up together are not his opponents. …… It's not for nothing that he dared to get here alone, avoiding the heavy patrols you've arranged. ”

"You already knew?" Clov frowned, "Why don't you say that?" ”

"He has Sean's aura on him, and he doesn't have any hostility or murderous intent, why should I say it?" Alexis asked rhetorically, she had never had a good face for Clove, who was not loyal to Sean.

Clov was a little depressed, but he didn't dare to show it, after all, he was facing Alexis now.

This extremely murderous Warrior Ji has a "terrifying record" of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people by one person, and the number of legendary powerhouses who died in her hands alone is more than two palms, and Clov is only barely a Sanctuary powerhouse, or the kind of subordinate one, how dare he be tough in front of Alexis.

However, what really makes Clov depressed is not the difference in strength.

It's such a super strong man, but he is only loyal to Sean, a spiritual leader who has disappeared and does not know his whereabouts. Even William and Hela couldn't get her to do what she was told, so they could only move out of Sean and the plan that was beneficial to the Void Empire, so that Alexis could choose to cooperate. Clov had always believed that if Alexis had supported Cecilia, Cecilia would have been the empress of the Void Empire long ago.

"That's what I'm trying to say." Because of Alexis' words as the opening remark, Hela saved a lot of trouble, "Do any of you remember that a few years ago, when Sean was not a Sanctuary powerhouse, he once left the Duchy, saying that he was going to embark on the road to becoming a Sanctuary powerhouse? ”

"The trial?" It's no secret that Sean left the Void Principality when he was on the throne gold, and almost all of Sean's followers knew about it.

"Now I can say with certainty that Sean's original trial was on the North Continent." Hela raised the letter in her hand, "It was through that trial that I met the current saint Emily. …… Even, even the changes in the Kingdom of the God of War now must be Sean's handiwork. The seal mark on this letter is not the seal of the God of War Kingdom, but ...... The seal of our Void Empire. ”

"What do you mean?" Crof's face was shocked.

"That's what you and I mean." A smile appeared on Alfred's face, "It's really worthy of Lord Sean, who actually took the entire God of War Kingdom under his command without a sound." If it weren't for the fact that we were attacking the Duchy of Rember this time, we wouldn't have known about it. ”

"Even if we don't attack the Duchy of Lumber, Sean will do it sooner or later." Hela looked farther than Alfred, "Otherwise, wouldn't he have to take Emily in?" …… It's just that even Sean himself didn't expect this kind of accident to happen. Perhaps in his original plan, he should have personally broken through the gates of the Duchy of Rumber and made Cecilia sit on that throne. ”

"But, this ...... How can it be? There was still a look of disbelief on Clov's face, "That's the Holy Maiden of the God of War Church, that's ......"

"What's impossible." Alexis sneered, "It's just a god of war, if it weren't for him hiding the kingdom of God, I would have been able to kill him, so that there would be no god of war in this world from now on." …… Sean, that guy, he has more means than you think, if he really wants to kill gods, as long as he gives him a coordinate to open the door to the kingdom of God, he can become a god killer in minutes. ”

Godslayer!

This kind of name, just like the dragon slayer, belongs to the legendary level.

But since Ragnarok, there has been no god killer in this world, because the gods have completely closed the door to the kingdom of God, and it is impossible for mortals to enter the kingdom of gods unless they die or choose to become slave gods.

As for the dragon slayers, after the Age of Chaos, the dragons have long since disappeared from the continent, and now the last remaining dragon in the world is in the kingdom of Satagastan. Only the brave man who slaughters the real dragon is qualified to be called a dragon slayer, and as for killing some wurms or dragon lizards or something, it is a ghost dragon slayer.

As for Alexis so sure that Sean would be able to kill gods if he wanted to, the three people present subconsciously did not choose to refute it. Maybe Clov wanted to open his mouth to refute, just thinking about the things that Sean had done - others don't know, but he Clov definitely won't be unclear, after all, he is also a comrade-in-arms who has fought with Sean for many years - so after thinking carefully about what Sean has done, he really can't open his mouth to refute.

"What do you want to say, Lord Hela?" When Clov realized that he couldn't refute Alexis, he couldn't help but speak.

"Give up your meaningless actions, the Emperor of the Void Empire will only, and can only be Sean." Hela looked at Clov, there was no emotion in her eyes, and the whole person looked extremely indifferent, "You want Cecilia to become the first emperor, I can only say that it is in vain. And you should know very well what will happen if you completely anger Cecilia. …… Surely you won't be killed, but you won't be reused by Cecilia either. ”

Clov didn't speak, but stared straight at Hela, and after a moment turned to look at Alfred: "Lord Fred, you already know?" ”

"What do you mean?" Alfred asked.

"You know what I'm asking." Clov said in a deep voice, his attitude a little rough, but Alfred didn't care.

"If you're asking about the God of War Kingdom, then I, like you, just found out." Alfred spoke, "But if you're asking about the plans of the expeditionary force this time, then I do know about it for a long time, and I'm here to compete with you for credit and prestige." …… Do you think no one knows about the actions behind you? It's just that William, Cecilia and Hela, and Neil are too lazy to care, after all, you are also the founding hero. ”

"Since Sean is gone, is there anything wrong with making Miss Cecilia the Empress?" Clov glared at everyone present, but he subconsciously avoided Alexis.

"Have you thought about it, is Cecilia willing?" Alfred asked rhetorically, "If Cecilia really wants to become the empress and become the first emperor of the Void Empire, will Sean object?" He obviously wouldn't, and given what we know about Sean's character, maybe he'd be happy to see that happen. But in that case, why didn't Cecilia want to become the first emperor of the Void Empire? Haven't you wondered why? ”

Instead of speaking, Clauf chose to remain silent.

Reason?

Cause?

It's not that these Clovs don't understand, they just don't bother to understand.

He followed Cecilia because Cecilia had the purest blood of the Duchy of Rembell, which was the most important place for a loyal vassal like him. Because only the purest royal blood of Rumber can revive the entire Principality of Rumbert, so as to get rid of the fate of the Principality of Rumbert, which has been a puppet of the two empires since its founder.

"Cecilia has sold all the territory of the Duchy of Rumber to the Maggie Empire." Looking at the silent Croft, Hela suddenly spoke again.

"What!?" Clov raised his head and looked at Hela, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole expression looked unusually hideous.

"The Duchy of Lunber will be the province of Lumber of the Maggie Empire in the future." Hela naturally knew about the negotiations between William and Cecilia with the Maggie Empire, "However, Cecilia has also planned a new area on the territory of the Void Empire, as the residence of the Lombel people, any Lombel people who want to leave the Lombel Principality and follow Cecilia to the Void Empire can live in this new province, and Neil has also begun to prepare." ”

"Duchy of Rumbell...... Perished? Clov looked at Hela, and for the first time there was confusion in his eyes.

"Not perdition, but rebirth." Alfred stood up, walked to Crov's side, and patted Clov's shoulder, "The bloodline of the Rembell royal family is the phoenix bloodline, and the core of its bloodline is nirvana rebirth?" …… In fact, this is also a kind of rebirth, getting rid of the identity of the Duchy and completely annexing it to the Void Empire. This is actually a win-win plan, after all, the Duchy of Rumbel is too far away from us, spanning a continent, and it is impossible for the Void Empire to have so many troops stationed here, so I don't think there is anything bad about Miss Cecilia's arrangement. ”

"But!" Clov let out a roar, but only said the word "but".

"I understand your feelings." Alfred nodded, "It's because I understand your feelings that I'm reminding you." …… The Lumbers are not history, and Miss Cecilia will still fight for the Lumbers in the Void Empire for the benefits they deserve. Don't forget, the core tenet of the Void Empire created by Lord Sean is that everyone is equal, no matter what race or color people are, as long as they are in the Void Empire, they are no different from others, they are all equal residents, and anyone can rely on their own efforts to fight for what they need or want. ”

"I see." Clov closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before reopening them before he spoke, "This is Lord Cecilia's decision, and it is also the best disposition of the entire Principality of Rembell. Since I have sworn eternal allegiance to Lord Cecilia, I will respect all of her decisions. ”

Although Clov only said such a sentence very simply, he actually expressed multiple meanings.

At least, after the end of this expeditionary war, he will not continue to toss after returning to the Void Empire, which will undoubtedly play a very positive role in the current internal instability of the Void Empire.

So Hella and Alfred didn't say anything more, after all, the real purpose of their expeditionary force operation this time had been achieved.

After that, Clov left the camp, and for a time there were only Alfred, Hela, and Alexis left in the camp.

"This seal is really the seal of our Void Empire?" Alfred carefully examined the letter that Anton had brought, and then asked.

"Yes." Hela nodded, "William once told me that I had to remember this mark, because this mark represents the meaning that the other party is our own people in the Void Empire. …… It is said that this plan was originally concocted by William and Sean in a partnership, secretly selecting a group of dead men who were willing to serve the Void Empire, but I don't know how many of these people there are. …… Now Sean doesn't know where to go, and the only one who knows about this plan is William. ”

"Then William, do you know that the Holy Maiden Emily is a member of our Void Empire?"

"I don't think so." Hela shook her head, "Otherwise, we should have made contact with the God of War Kingdom a long time ago, and it is impossible not to have any contact all the time." ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"I feel that Cecilia and William must be informed of this as soon as possible. If the God of War Kingdom joins, I believe it will be of great help to us to open the path to the abyss as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
