Under the high mountain where the silver canopy is located, the banquet in the big tent is still being held, and since that Li Qi will not come for a while, then continue to eat. However, the knights of the White Bird all went back to their tents to rest, and all the guests who stayed here were invited by the king, and they could give the king face.

The men and women in the tent drank and laughed or whispered in a number of piles. The king spoke to a thin, middle-aged man in the corner, his attendants separated the crowd, and the magician held a crystal ball to open a small silent barrier that looked like something important.

"Steve, is that Richie really that good?

The king sighed, "I thought the visions you showed me were plays, but those things are unbelievable. ”

The thin middle-aged man nodded and said, "Isn't it all because of the pressure exerted by Your Excellency White Bird to not allow the organizations of the Temple of Commerce and the Adventurer Commune to set up branches in the kingdom, otherwise how could our White Bird Kingdom be so closed?"

Of course, the words are also extremely exaggerated: "The Red Union on Li Qi's side, as well as our Dawning Empire, all have floating fleets that cover the sky and the sun! Each floating ship is equipped with a forbidden magic cannon, and a single salvo can destroy a city!"

"This kind of power is not something that Your Excellency Shiratori can compete with by personal strength, even if every Your Excellency Shiratori can deal with a floating ship, as long as you miss one, the White Bird Kingdom will be finished. ”

The king smiled bitterly, "When the Will Empire invaded, I knew that I could only rely on the Dawning Empire, but as you can see, Your Excellency Shiratori is quite confident in their power. And I, the king, am in fact only the great steward of the White Bird Lords, and it is impossible to disobey their will. ”

He sighed deeply: "If Your Excellency the White Bird, or even the power of the White Bird of the Silver Canopy, cannot protect the kingdom, and I can't do anything, I am really unwilling." ”

There was a different meaning in his words, and Steve, who had been related to the king for a long time, naturally understood, and said helplessly: "I have already sent the news back to the Empire, but the Empire is ...... Probably blinded by the actions of the Red Federation, and still preparing for another big war, I don't think the Red Federation will make any big moves here. So there is no way to put pressure on the official level and provide assistance. ”

The king frowned: "Then what can you do with the power you get through private channels? If the Dawning Empire does not exert pressure, Your Excellency Shiratori will not open your eyes and see the situation clearly." ”

A glint flashed in Steve's eyes, and he lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, without demolishing the nobles' castles, you can't build the fortress of the kingdom." ”

The king took a breath, and Steve hurriedly said: "Of course, this is just a matter of preparedness, and it is impossible for His Excellency Shiratori and Li Qi to get along, and when the time comes, His Excellency Shiratori will not be able to deal with Li Qi, and His Majesty will have a chance." ”

The king nodded: "This is the right direction......"

He stroked his chest and said solemnly: "The White Bird Royal Family is the guardian of the White Bird Oath, and we will always be loyal to the White Bird!"

Nodding to Steve again, "Go find the captain of the guard and ask him to bring those people over." ”

In the makeshift camp a few kilometers away from the Great Horde, several carriages formed a vigilant formation, and Tasmi, Ankaret, and Xili, dressed in civilian clothes, were waiting for orders with the other princess mercenaries.

In the early hours of the morning, they were teleported by the teleporters of the Temple of Commerce to a secret base on the outskirts of the White Bird King's capital, and the Temple of Commerce had such a base in places where it was impossible to set up branches, and they were often black market hubs in various places.

Before they could recover from the state of faint teleportation, they were driven to change their clothes, get into the carriage, and be pulled by strong horses with dragon horse blood, and galloped hundreds of kilometers in the morning to the silver canopy.

Ankaret and Xili are very dizzy to teleport, and Tasmi is even more sluggish, he is not dizzy to teleport, but the soul contract with "Kamak" consumes too much of his strength, and he will still be in a state of confusion.

Fortunately, with Kamak bound to him, there were no problems with his soul test, which was enough to make Tasmi feel relieved and relaxed.

"What the hell are we sending?"

He looked at the carriages and asked again.

"Have you forgotten Deacon Rembrandt's advice?"

Because of last night's incident, Ankaret looked at him like a villain, and she didn't talk to him until now, let alone get closer to a meter away. Xiyili couldn't bear to snub him, and said angrily: "Shut your mouth, control your feet and eyes, wear your ears and head, and listen to orders!"

Looking left and right, no one paid attention, and then lowered his voice and said: "I heard that this is the holy place of the White Bird Kingdom, and there is a meeting to be held soon to discuss the major events that are enough to change the fate of the White Bird Kingdom." Her Royal Highness the princess has an informant who knows what kind of white bird knight here, probably some kind of gift. ”

Tasmi looked at one of the carriages, which were guarded by several men in robes and hoods, who were strictly forbidden to approach.

The men joined the group halfway, and they were careful to put some boxes on the wagon. Although I didn't see their faces clearly, I was far away, and I occasionally listened to them, and I looked like people from the east side of the Inland Sea.

"So...... What are we doing here?"

Tasmi felt that something was faintly wrong, but based on previous experience, it must be his own problem, because he did not know enough about the outside world.

Not only Ankaret and Cieri, but also the mercenaries sent by the other squads are just like him, all of them are fledgling newcomers (this is a term I learned from Mirage). Most of them are from the three northern countries, but there are also pastoralists from Beitmund.

It seems that Her Royal Highness the princess specially arranged for them to go out for training, even if it is just to run errands and see it, it is also a kind of experience.

Tasmi thought that Princess Podina was a big man to follow. Exposing them to such an important event from the beginning will definitely spread the story of the afterlife, and the expectations for everyone are really high.

Turning his head and looking up at the clouds that had been dragged up to the mountainside in the distance, Tasmi was shocked and felt a lot more refreshed.

"Out of ******* Deacon Brown's direct subordinates shouted, forty or fifty low-level mercenaries were divided into a dozen or two carriages, and there was a faint momentum of the army.

At this moment, the sky was suddenly torn apart by some terrifying force, and the sound of thunder rolled through the zenith, and the mercenaries subconsciously raised their heads and saw a burst of red light shooting through, and the shock white mist brought up in mid-air was clearly visible.

Tasmi, Ankaret, and Ciali subconsciously bowed their heads, it was that kind of terrifying flying boat!

..................

Valentine North Castle, Princess Podina's Mercenary Manor, in the "404 Squad" suite, Najaita hesitated, but still called Princess Podina with her magic mobile phone. The mercenaries' mobile phones are all custom-made, only the captain can call the princess, and there is a limit to the number of times per day.

First the attendant answered, and then passed on to the princess, and after listening to Najaita's words, the princess sighed, "Najay, you better pay attention." Right now, your task is to train new people, and rash activities will cause me trouble. ”

"Yes, Estice left Valentine with her men. It doesn't have to do with Ankaret, don't worry. ”

"I won't let you go because things over there are boring, just running errands, just to let the newcomers see how big the world is. Yes, you're new too, but I'm preparing another operation, and I urgently need someone reliable, so you have to stay with me. ”

"I don't know how long, I might have to stay for a while, that's why I won't let you go. ”

The communication ended, and Najaita breathed a sigh of relief.

Probably because I lost too many partners before and was too sudden, which made me a little nervous.

She comforted herself like this, and most of her original doubts and worries dissipated.

To the south of Valentine, in the Holy Steps, the palace where Empress Dawn once lived, is now owned by Princess Podina. Here she presides over the affairs of the Holy Daughters of the Holy See of Order, and at the same time acts as a channel of communication between the Holy See and the nobles of the North and the South.

The Empress's study, where she had only been there for a while, remained as it was, and Princess Podina sank into the chair behind her desk, discarding her phone and talking to a vague figure in the light curtain.

"Just now, one of my subordinates was a little confused about Shiratori's actions. ”

Podina smiled at the man and said, "That subordinate still has some value, so I had to coax her." ”

The woman, whose face was mostly covered by black hair, revealing only a dazzling silver pupil, said lazily: "It's hard for you, choose someone who doesn't know anything about that thing, and you have to solve the troubles yourself." ”

The princess sighed: "Who made me not a person on either side, and McGore is the same, even if there are people under him, they can't be put on the table." ”

McGore's report was not trusted by Brynto and Baudouin, and both cardinals agreed that any of Richie's movements in the White Bird Kingdom were only minor and not worth paying attention to. ”

'The most important thing for them now is to retake the Sky penalty area and stop the Red United from taking more of the box. On this matter, they were surprisingly in agreement with the Tangus brothers, and Valentine's atmosphere was really strange during this time, and even the air became sweet. ”

"So, it's a pity, I couldn't say that the empire should send a large army, so I had to help you make some small moves like this, are you sure about it?"

The beautiful woman with black hair and silver eyes was naturally Hathaway, and she said leisurely: "Valentine is not only the banner of the nobles holding the power of the empire, but also the supreme fortress of the Divine Emperor Castle and the teleportation channel for the Holy See of Order to deliver supplies to the goddess, of course they are all nervous." ”

"As for the White Bird Kingdom, I don't know the specific situation, but if someone is there, she will preside over everything. That thing is just a precaution, not necessarily used, in short, by her...... That is, the person named Cynthia has carte blanche to decide. If she can't solve it, then no mortal can. ”

"You'll have to warn McGore not to be clever enough to get in the way of Cynthia, she won't be treated as a friendly man. ”

Podina frowned slightly: "It shouldn't be just McGore who ran over, but the people below the Holy See of Order may also run over, and they have some connection with my people." ”

Hathaway said disapprenously: "As long as you are mortal, there is nothing to worry about. When the matter is settled, let Cynthia put a celebratory flower by the way, and any traces and troubles will disappear. ”

She sighed again, "Well, I'll have to be ready to talk to Richie and explain why such a powerful elemental bomb was lit there." ”

Podina hurriedly said: "I will help you advance in this regard, the biggest problem on the side of the Imperial faction is actually that you return the Elemental Bomb to the Liberation Cannon for no reason, and I am worried about what tricks you are playing, as long as I am the guarantor, it is too late for them to be happy." ”

Hathaway laughed, "Anyway, both of us are busy with the gods, and neither of us is a worry-free lord." ”

Podina coughed, she couldn't have used such disrespectful words and attitudes towards her gods as Hathaway did.

She not only changed the topic, but also asked with anticipation: "So this time, can it really be done?"

Hathaway sneered: "Don't expect to kill Richie and those people directly, even if it's Cynthia in the past." I have already learned from the past, and I should not underestimate them at any time. ”

Podina was stunned, and Hathaway said: "But for them to offend the White Bird Kingdom, and even the people of Sifern, and thus make them fall to the Dawning Empire, such a thing should be enough to please the Goddess of Order." ”

"Are you still delusional about directly killing the enemies that your goddess has not been able to kill? Disturb Sifern and let the Red Union fall over there, buy time for your goddess, and reduce the pressure on the empire a lot, you are not satisfied with such a feat?"

Podina retorted: "Of course I am satisfied, and this will also allow my lord to see the kindness of your goddess, right?"

Hathaway chuckled noncommittally......

At the end of the communication, Princess Podina, like the Empress, lay down on her desk and groaned.

At this moment, there was a shock in her soul, and the crystal ball on the table overflowed with golden light, so frightened that she quickly jumped away from the chair and turned to the desk, as if someone was sitting there.

"My Lord ......"

The vibrations in her soul carried obscure messages, and Podina had only vague feelings, which made her sweat profusely.

Did you guess the wrong divine will in your actions, or did you not do enough?

In the White Bird Kingdom, at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the Holy Land, a team of centaurs lurked a few kilometers away from the banquet camp through the hidden barrier.

"Very good, not only are the White Bird Knights here, but there are also people and horses of unknown origin. ”

The short Grand Inquisitor said in a cold voice: "Although the Holy See of Order can't draw strength, it is enough to solve all the troubles by relying on us. ”

The handsome young man next to him said with a smile: "Whether it is to solve the biggest sect enemy, or to make the white birds submit to the light of our lord, we have enough ...... Convincing!"

As he spoke, he also looked up at the sky, and at a height of thousands of meters, ripples swayed slightly, and there was a powerful force hidden that the entire White Bird Kingdom could not match.

At this moment, the thunder rolled, and the red light shot out, causing everyone in the team to change color.
