727 The Empress's Compromise and Sadar's Moth
Romrose's floatship has a very mixed livery, and its wide and chubby body looks like an old-fashioned float ship. However, the dark gray painted magic plane looked murderous, and the hum of the propellers converged into a palpitating sound. Coupled with the sheer number of more than two hundred, Theresia's floating ships accelerated their climb.
Not many people know about the battle that took place over the Divine Fall Plateau, but the air battle in the Silver Pine Kingdom is known to the world. For the officers and men of the Dawning Empire's floating fleet, the relevant mirage records are even more familiar with them day and night.
While the floating ship was climbing, about fifty or sixty flying boats met the group.
Like Theresia's floating ships, these ships are painted white with gold ornamentation, giving them a sober and holy appearance. The shape of the flying boat's pointed shuttle is also unusually sophisticated, and its appearance is much more upscale than the dark gray "Buzzing" high-end atmosphere. But the pilots of the flying boat were all sweating in their palms, and they knew very well what would happen to their flying boats once the fight started.
The leading group of the Romrose fleet suddenly accelerated, hedged head-on with the flying boats. Although the pilot of the flying boat was nervous, he was not to be outdone and rushed straight over. The Empress was down there, watching them at the moment.
The distance between the two sides was rapidly closer, and from a distance of four or five kilometers they quickly entered their respective ranges, but no one opened fire.
Whether it was the flying boat or the pilot of the plane, they had been sternly warned that the Dawning Empire, the Holy Will Empire, and the Fei Gong were not enemies at the moment, and they were absolutely not allowed to fire the first shot. However, if the opponent fires the first shot, the enemy must not be able to fire the second shot.
The white and gray groups of planes met in the sky, and in an instant, the white flying boat seemed to be swallowed up by the gray plane. On the ground, Qili could clearly see that Theresia's hands were clenched into fists in her sleeves.
If Theresia knew that the lead group was piloted by members of the Fei Communist Party, she would probably slam her fist into Qili's face, right?
The flying boat and the plane hedged past, and the flying boat flew away like a frightened swarm of white swans, one by one. The Grey Falcon-like plane spun in several neat strands, enveloping the ship again.
Qi Li secretly gave a thumbs up, the pilots of this "Volunteer Air Force for Aiding Luo" were drawn from the first and fourth brigades, these guys are really good. If it was a real battle just now, there would be no more than a few of Theresia's flying boats left.
Theresia is imitating the magic guide plane, there shouldn't be much technical obstacle in terms of hardware, but software such as flight control can't be figured out for a while, plus the training of pilots, it's still very early to become an army, and it's no wonder that Theresia's floating fleet can only be escorted by flying boats.
Despite the embarrassment, the flying boat persevered, and the plane circled in the sky, and the two sides exchanged as if they were performing stunts.
An iron-gray floating ship descended, and before it could land, two figures, one white and one black, jumped from above and turned into dragons in mid-air.
The two dragons made Theresia's eyes constrict, and the attendants gasped.
The clamshell-like silver armor was placed on the dragon's body, and the azure magic brilliance swam in the skeleton-like gold streaks, showing the Mithril and Adamantite gold materials of this set of "dragon armor" very clearly. The left and right sides of the helmet that wrapped the dragon's head, and the left and right wingtips of the dragon's wings each had a small magic cannon that should be some kind of spell, declaring that this set of dragon armor was not only protective.
Qi Li tried to suppress the corners of her mouth to prevent herself from smiling, not to show off and be complacent, but to laugh at Romeros, in order to put on a score, he also got out the two sets of "international version of the dragon armament" that Fei Gong had just handed over to him, which was still a very immature test version.
The white dragon Galashien and the black dragon Mirapoos, these two dragons are Romros's personal attendants, and they are nicknamed the black and white twin evils by Fei Gong, and judging from the aura of power they exude, they have both been promoted to legends.
The two armored dragons hovered in mid-air and did not land, apparently as a deterrent. A dragon roar sounded in the sky, and the fiery red figure fell from above, stretching into a huge red dragon in mid-air, facing off with the black and white dragon.
This should be the red dragon princess Serensara, who served Theresia, and then another silver dragon appeared, not the mirror stone that Kiri knew, which reminded her of the little silver dragon Timmy, who she hadn't contacted for a long time.
The two dragons, one red and one silver, are also legendary, not far from the black and white dragons, shouting at each other with dragon roars.
"Don't be rude, this is Her Majesty Theresia, who is one man and god!"
Another person jumped off the floating ship and shouted in mid-air.
The black and white dragon retreated, and the person who came fell straight to the ground, just like when he first met Li Qi, without using any spells, smashed a large hole in the ground.
The man jumped out of the pit and shouted with joy, "Your Highness Qiliββ!"
Who else but Romrose could it be?
Qi Li reluctantly raised the handle of Tyr, stopped his embrace with a light blade, and scolded, "Haven't you seen Her Majesty Theresia first?"
"Yes, yes," Romrose bowed to Theresia.
Theresia nodded faintly in return and looked at Qili: "You guys...... Familiar?"
Romrose interjected sincerely: "Her Highness Qili is my mentor, and there is also a Highness Sannie in the Fei Gong, without her help, I would not be able to get to where I am today." β
Qi Li hurriedly explained: "It's just a pointer on the path of strength, that is, not long ago. β
Theresia's eyes flickered, and there was a moment of silence.
Kiri smiled bitterly, and Theresia's cheeks ached.
As soon as she said that Fei Gong was going to mix with Romulus again, she was going to turn her face. Unexpectedly, Romrose took the initiative to express his position as soon as he came, saying that he had a close relationship with the Fei Gong, how could she express this?
Romulos wasn't done yet: "That guy from Richie didn't come? I also want to tell him that I found the academy instructor who taught us swordsmanship, and that guy didn't take care of us." I wanted to ask him what he wanted to do to get revenge on that guy. β
Qi Li almost laughed, this guy was really naughty, and said perfunctorily: "Li Qi is helping my master take care of the affairs of the public kingdom of God." β
Romrose was not a fool, and these words were meant to be addressed to Theresia.
The implication is clear, the Holy Will Empire and the Fei Gong have come together not just because of interests. I, the emperor, and the cardinal of Richie, used to be classmates and friends, and I had a deep personal friendship.
Theresia raised her eyebrows slightly, wanting to say something, but she couldn't speak.
Romrose looked at Qili again and bowed deeply: "It's great to see Your Highness......"
When he looked up, he saw the wound on Qili's chest, and he frowned and asked, "Your Highness, are you injured? Who dared to hurt Your Highness?"
Qili hurriedly waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally fell." β
Theresia twitched the corners of her mouth, and at that moment she seemed to curse.
In the end, she just smiled faintly and said, "Okay, since Your Majesty has also arrived, they are all acquaintances with each other, and there should be no gap when discussing the matter of Erxiang together." β
Qili looked up at the sky, the flying boat and the plane were still playing stunts, coughed and said, "Let those guys above stop, it's not easy to clean up if you continue to play." β
The flexing of muscles was over, and the attendants on both sides were busy, and soon a temporary hall was set up, and a round table was set up because it was a three-way meeting.
This hall is next to the castle behind the Earldom of Hansen, which has been turned into a big pit, and because not far from the hall, Hansen's head is held high by a spear, so people are accustomed to call it the "Hansen Agreement" when talking about the results of the tripartite talks.
Hansen, this guy, can leave a name for eternity in this way, and it is worth dying well.
The meeting lasted until dusk, and by the time the three of them walked out of the hall, the sky outside was already filled with floats and airships.
Theresia's follow-up forces also arrived, including ten new floats from the northeast and hundreds of flying ships from the east. Romroth had hundreds of magic planes rushing over, and they should be troops deployed near the imperial capital. The more than 200 new light-gray painted planes are the troops of the Fei Communist Party.
Most of the power used by the three parties to seize the sky is concentrated in the narrow sky of the Kingdom of Kist, distributed in three directions, and they are listed as two distinct sides, facing each other fiercely.
It has nothing to do with the personal friendship between the leaders, and the three parties are ready to start fighting directly if the talks collapse.
"Didn't Catherine come?"
Theresia looked at Fei Gong's fleet and searched for the bright red figure inside, but unfortunately she didn't find it.
Qi Li lowered her voice and said, "Li Qi will not embarrass Her Highness Catherine. β
Theresia snorted, "So...... He's avoiding me, too?"
Without waiting for Qili to respond, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, since the matter of Erxiang still has to rely on your strength, here in Kester, you are also entitled to some rewards." β
Her tone became solemn: "I am not forced to give in to you, I just hope that in the matter of Erxiang, you Fei Gong can take into account the overall situation of the whole world, and try your best to ensure that Romrose will not play any tricks." In the matter of Koster, don't cross the line I have drawn. β
Qi Li said sincerely: "Thank you for your patience. β
The agreement reached between the three parties is to work together to eliminate the corruption points in the world of Fragrance, and at the same time find the sealing place, and each take what he needs. Theresia takes Kellastr's body, and Romulus takes Benn's body.
As for the kingdom of Koster, Theresia agreed to give the western part of Koster to Romulus and the southern part to the Fikco. The kingdom of Kist retains half of its territory and population and is incorporated into the Dawning Empire.
At the scene of the confrontation, Theresia's floating fleet was far from being an opponent of the "Rofe Alliance". The latter has more than five hundred magic guide planes, enough to dominate the sky below 20,000 meters. And at high altitude, although her floating ships have an absolute advantage, there are also floating ships on Romerose's side, although the number is small and the performance is poor, but Romulos also has a dragon equipped with magic weapons, which together is enough to threaten the floating ship.
Theresia didn't make huge concessions because of this, she wasn't one to bow down to power. provoked her, and used the angelic army to fight the god war at any cost, no matter how big the advantage of Romulos and Kiri was in the main plane, it didn't make sense.
It was Romrose's report that made her compromise, and judging from the on-site records shown by Romrose, Remus was threatening the safety of the main plane. The Vortex of Corruption that has gathered there has caused great damage to the Main Plane Barrier, and if this threat is not addressed soon, the Main Plane Barrier's ability to protect itself, as well as its ability to promote the circulation of extraordinary power throughout the world, will be weakened to a very dangerous level.
Because of this terrible prospect, Theresia not only gave in to the matter of Kerth, but also nodded at Romrose's offer to get Benn's body. This means that in the future, Romroth will become more and more closely bound to the god of tyranny, which is a mortal threat to the order she dominates, but when it comes to the life and death of the main plane, she still takes the overall situation into account.
"It's my responsibility......"
That's what Theresia said, and it reminded Kiri of her refusal to help the Grim Reaper put an end to the bloody battle. It seems that she thinks about things and attaches great importance to the principle of proportionality of power and responsibility, but unfortunately, both rights and responsibilities are based on her persistent "ideal order".
"My tolerance?"
Hearing Qi Li say this, Theresia shook her head and said, "I'm just choosing the direction with the least harm, and when the matter of Erka is solved, everything will have to start all over again." β
Hearing her words, she had already set Romulus as her next target, and Qi Li couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, when you were in Bennuin, Li Qi should have told you about the evolution of the gods. β
Theresia frowned, "What?
Qi Li sighed: "Your Majesty, even if there is anything wrong with that statement, but you haven't seriously thought about it, your current state of unity of man and god cannot last long? Since you want to create an eternal order, including the order of the gods and the order of mortals, when you return to the throne and Keira Theresia becomes Theresia, how do you ensure that what happened to Kem will not happen again?"
"Your empire must be taken over by someone, and when your will is fully returned to the kingdom of God, how can you ensure that the empire will not be cut off from the direct communication between mortals and the gods again, like the church?
Theresia said expressionlessly, "Keep ......"
Strange heart said that sure enough, Theresia was actually thinking about it.
She continued to say, "The present God cannot be eternal, but the new God and the path are one to be eternal." His Majesty Shuma became the god of war, and his path led to eternity. Your Majesty should grope in this direction, instead of directly practicing it and shaping the order on the main plane according to your ideas, which will not last long. β
Theresia sneered, "So, let you shape the order according to your own ideas?"
Sure enough, before Theresia's tight string, the mouth cannon was pointless.
At the end, Theresia warned: "Tell Richie to let him do what he wants......"
After saying goodbye to Theresia, Kiri is dragged into a private chat by Romrose.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't make it to the end," Romulos lamented, "and my offensive on both the north and south sides was stopped, and there were several hard stubbles. There are Arcanists in the north, dwarves in the south, and I suspect that it is the power that Theresia secretly supports, as well as the power of the Goddess of Commerce and even the Void Dragon God. β
"In view of this situation, I can't continue to fight Theresia in the east, so I have to use the matter of Erxiang to ease up with her, and concentrate my forces on the north and south sides. β
No wonder Romros no longer insists on dividing the entire Kist Kingdom and getting "Belino's compensation".
Qi Li said: "In this way, Theresia should be allied with the forces of the Goddess of Commerce and the Void Dragon God, and the power gap is here, so it can only be like this." β
After months of hard work, the final harvest was only half of what was expected, and the mood of the two of them was not better.
Romrose changed the subject and took out a few crystal bottles: "Your Highness, you have to try this plum wine, which is made by Thevins." She's now a priestess of the goddess of nature, fiddling with them all day long. Let's drink this bottle, and you can bring the rest to Richie and His Highness Sunny, which is explained by Thewins. β
Romrose is now back in the imperial capital, spending time with his lover. Speaking of Thewens, her tone and expression were extremely sweet, which also made Qili's mood a lot better.
At this time, Romulus, like plum wine, is still natural and green, and has not deteriorated.
"Tell me how your empire is tossed......"
"Your Highness, Sonny, and your teachings dare not be forgotten, I strive to follow the principles of the Emperor's governance when he first established the Empire, and at the same time try to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Emperor......"
Sipping plum wine, Kiri chatted with Romulos about the governance of the Holy Will Empire.
On the other side, the nobles of the kingdom of Koster were savoring the bitterness in their hearts, and the nobles led by the Marquis of Londos knelt on the ground and cried to Theresia.
"If you want to return to the complete kingdom, what is the price? There is not one out of ten people in the kingdom! Chester has been devastated by Belino, even if you want to continue fighting, how many people will be able to go to war?"
"The matter of Erika is related to the safety of all mortals, and the overall situation is more important than the country of Ixter. I'm not saying that's all the way the future is going to be, but you have to be patient until you have the power to restore the way you were. β
"It is true that I am a man and God, but I am not a god, I can say what I want, and I can do what I want. We need you to be considerate of your suffering, and we need you to broaden your horizons to the whole world. β
Theresia patiently persuaded the nobles, responding to her louder pleas, and even shouting the words "Your Majesty should reach out when Belino is mad", which made her face turn pale.
Eventually, Kevin's angry shout shook them, and Theresia said with a straight face, "Since you are so loyal to the kingdom, use your own strength and your own blood to fight for it." β
The implication is that she doesn't care how these people are bouncing.
Princess Ryrol did not participate in this crying event, after all, in the eyes of the nobles, she was just a symbol of royal power.
She took her maid to the camp and timidly called out Sardar.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Princess, but I'm protecting everyone, not just you. β
The princess stretched out her hand again, hoping that he would become her knight, and even gave him the title of baron, but Sardar firmly refused.
"Why can't I be included among the people you are guarding?"
Reyrol's tears flowed again: "Didn't you promise me to protect me?"
Sardar scratched his head: "But you are Her Royal Highness the Princess, there will be other people to protect you, if it's just Reloel, of course I will protect it." β
Relore was stunned, and a determined light suddenly flashed in her light blue eyes: "If I were just Reloel, would you always protect me?"
Sardar said in a tone of course: "Of course, this is my duty. I've met the god of knights, and she says it's our Crimson Knight's mission. β
After thinking about it, he added, "I still have to protect the others, so you have to be with us." β
Rerol nodded, and said word by word: "Very good, Knight Sardar, I follow you, where you go, I go." β
"Your Highness!"
The maid next to her, Trissy, said in horror, "Are you crazy? You are the princess of Caster...... No, you'll be the queen of Kerst soon!"
"What's the use of being a queen?"
Reel looked at the maid and said with a miserable smile, "When others want to blackmail you to harm me, won't you still harm me?"
She looked at Sardar again: "On the contrary, only Sardar will protect me, even if I am nothing, I feel very relieved and ...... Happy. β
Trisy grabbed Reloel's hand: "Your Highness, you have to go back immediately!"
As she spoke, she dragged Reloel back, and beckoned to the guards who followed: "Quick! bring the princess back!"
"Sadar!"
Relore shouted, "Now I'm just Reloel!
Sardar was stunned, and the two guards stepped forward and looked at him vigilantly.
Ryrol cried, "Sardar ββ!"
Sardar took a deep breath, his body was dazzling, his left hand was dark gold, and his right hand was bright red with the sword of liberation, and he knocked the two guards into the sky.
He stepped forward to hold Reyroel's hand, kicked Tracy away, and said in a daze: "I am a knight! It is my mission to protect good people!
Cui Qian fell on the ground and ate, got up and turned around and ran, shouting as she ran: "Someone has robbed the princessββ!!
