One thousand two forty-eight Afterglow of the Dawn, Tower Blood Moon

"The Emperor's ......"

Emily said in a natural tone, "Isn't it up to you to decide what he decides?"

Offrin wanted to defend Jon's dignity as Emperor must be maintained, but Emily waved her hand and said, "Don't delay, this altar of the Dawning Empire will be desecrated by magicians and rebellious priests in a few days." You and the emperor you have painstakingly cultivated will also become a puppet without a soul. ”

She raised her arm, and the sleeves of her tattered robe slipped down, revealing her white, scarred arm, which was covered with an armband twice as wide as a normal bracelet, emitting faint fluctuations of magical power.

This is the Legendary Network's side-by-side companion, a modification of the previous magic communicator, and the cheapest version. The taverns, grocery stores, and even carriage and horse shops in East Fein are selling them on behalf of even apprentice-level transcendents for a few silver ales.

"Even this thing is broadcasting about the Salvation Alliance and the Dawning Star, and even the details of that oracle document are clearly stated......

Emily shook her head bitterly: "What else is there to communicate, the facts are already here." ”

"The rebel gods entangled by the goddess of commerce didn't dare to face my lord, let alone return to Heavenly Mountain, so they lost Heavenly Mountain to Chilian. ”

"We ran to the Star Sea Plane to resist some foreign enemy, the Elven Empire and the Elven Navy...... They don't bother to make up more convincing excuses!"

"Because we don't need it, the gods who can oppose us are isolated, and the last foundation in the main plane, the last power of faith, is about to be lost. ”

Aufrin raised her head and said, "You followers of the Order are not qualified to say this, and the will of Theresia is with us, not with your Holy See of Order!"

Emily grabbed Aufrin's arms suddenly, her eyes blazing with fireworks: "Then bring out Her Majesty's altar of Theresia!

At this moment, Offrin finally sensed Emily's resonance from the depths of her soul, although it was very faint, but it was indeed approaching Theresia.

She expressed her doubts with some emotion: "This is an empire, how can I bring it out?"

Emily said slowly like an aria: "Where the emperor is, there the empire is......"

"Where Theresia's blood is, the empire is there......"

"Where Theresia's oath is, there is the Empire......"

Offreynn's expression changed, and she pushed Emily away, sneering, "You want me to take Jon and the stone tablet of the Broken Tower Oath and run to the north?"

She turned and walked away, Emily's high-pitched cries reaching her ears as she ignored them.

"Don't have any illusions! You and your little emperor don't have the strength to keep the altar at all!"

When Offlyn returned to the Tower, her subordinates reported that hundreds of messages had been sent to the palace, and that dozens of nobles had asked for a direct meeting. Of course, according to her instructions when she left, neither the summons nor the seekers conveyed it to the emperor. This is also the custom, as the former guardian and now the head of the inner court, all the affairs around the emperor are taken care of by Aufrilyn.

"Isn't this power......

Offlyn muttered, asking the Emperor who he had contacted. After getting the answer, she sneered: "Even I don't believe it, do you have to ask that woman?"

Her subordinates have been her confidants for many years, and they also have feelings for Jon, and subconsciously said, "Princess Podina is also ...... after all." She used to be a saint, and she had a lot of devout followers of Her Majesty Theresia, and even several saints who could perform miracles. ”

A long, cold and sticky snake seemed to pop out of her heart, swimming and biting, making Ofrin's face turn pale.

She tried to restrain what she thought was sinful, and prayed to Theresia, and a stream of warmth poured into her soul to abate the serpent.

A holy light floated on her face, and she nodded and said, "At this moment, as long as those who have faith in Her Majesty Theresia are our brothers and sisters, we should unite. ”

She ordered: "Gather these brothers and sisters, including Her Highness Podina, immediately!"

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

In the core hall of the Dawning Star, Rhemak held his head high and his mouth wide open, holding this position for more than ten minutes. It wasn't until the transmitter on his wrist vibrated that he came to his senses.

Hathaway's portrait popped up in front of her vision, and the Lady of Liberty's spokesperson and magical leader seemed to have just finished taking care of her skin, her cheeks white and red and as hydrated as a peach.

She said with a hint of laziness: "Marshal, judging from your performance on the Dawning Star, it is indeed difficult to convince mortals of all this, including the fact that the world of Finn is facing an invasion by foreign enemies. ”

Rimako frowned: "Lord Ted, what's wrong?"

Hathaway covered her mouth and yawned, and pulled her other hand at will: "See for yourself, many people in the empire are ready to move, and the huge fleet you want will probably be greatly affected." ”

Briefings brushed through the field of vision, and Rimaco's brow furrowed more and more.

The nobles of the empire are intensively linked, without exception they are fiercely denouncing the empire's obedience to the oracle of the Salvation League, and in addition to meaningless emotional catharsis, there are also many plans of substantive significance in the pipeline.

The most drastic plan was to declare the Salvation Alliance an evil heresy through the Emperor, and that the magicians and followers of the gods were all traitors to the Empire, including Tarimac. This kind of plan is essentially just an emotional catharsis, but it is the tone of other plans, but there are tactical differences between priorities and sides.

It would have been easy to crush these changes, but the consequence of doing so would be that the empire would fall apart, the requisition of manpower and materials would be greatly affected, and the Star Sea Fleet that Rimako wanted would be far away.

And it's not just the aristocracy that's ready to move, but also the church of Theresia, which is deeply rooted in the grassroots of the empire. These clergymen, who were formerly at the grassroots level of the Holy See of Order, finally woke up in the catastrophe of destroying the world, abandoned the Holy See of Order, and now because of the oracle documents of the Salvation Alliance, they are on the side of the world. After all, it seemed to them that the oracle was a clear expression of the gods' evil intentions to erase Theresia's will.

Thinking of this, Rimako groaned secretly, he also counted on the followers of Theresia to speed up the recruitment of men and materials. This channel, coupled with the aristocracy's side, made it impossible for the empire to carry out its will to the hundreds of millions of mortals within its borders.

What made him even more troubled was that the source of the power of Theresia's followers actually came from the Imperial Emperor Jon Dawn......

It was already night on Tangus Temple Mountain, a meeting was about to take place, and the two forces would also converge at the meeting, and Ryomako could not imagine what kind of reaction would be produced.

Then he noticed a point, and said in amazement: "How did the whole thing, including the oracle documents, suddenly spread to the whole world?"

The two avatars that jumped into view were the Prime Minister, the Duke of Tangus, and the Minister of Propaganda, Mordwin, and Hathaway said: "They did it, and it seems that they are very aware of the righteousness, and they did their best to explain it to the subjects of the Empire." ”

Rimac shook his head: "It shouldn't be like this, the empire is not a Red Union ......"

Then his pupils narrowed slightly, and his tone became bitter: "Do they also think that only by eliminating the opposition as soon as possible can they keep the empire?"

Hathaway shrugged: "It seems that the marshal, like them, is very clear about the trade-offs under the overall situation, so it should be no problem for you to do it, right?"

Ruimako was a little unbearable: "His Majesty the Emperor must have been bewitched, and we need the Emperor ......"

Hathaway said, "It seems to the gods and I that this legacy that Theresia has left behind has long been worthless. But since many mortals can't adapt to the times and still hold on to Theresia, we can't get rid of these people too, after all, ......"

Remembering a sentence that Qi Li likes to say, she subconsciously quoted: "Even a piece of toilet paper has its use." ”

Her tone became stern: "The territory ruled by the Dawning Empire is the most prosperous and developed place in the main plane, the highest quality of mortals, and it is also the area where our magicians have the deepest influence. ”

"If the Dawning Empire can contribute to our cause of fighting foreign enemies, then it will naturally be able to keep it. ”

"If not, let alone the gods and me, even if it's Li Qi's side, maybe he will take the initiative. ”

"Rhemak, I need hundreds of thousands of transcendents to ascend to the Dawning Star to make this Void Fortress, coveted by the Red Alliance, move. You'll need hundreds of thousands of transcendents to form a fleet and live out the faith of the god of war in battle with the Elven Navy. ”

"All kinds of materials beyond human hands need to be collected, manufactured, and transported by millions of mortals. ”

"If you really want to keep the emperor, don't have any hesitation and mercy, give you a day!"

Speaking of this, Hathaway changed to a mocking tone: "Anyway, these things are not really the emperor's head, it can only be his nanny who is tossing." ”

"She is very alert, and she knows how to use the legendary online companion who is not bound to deliver messages and gather people. But how did she know that as long as she needed, the communication tower on Temple Mountain could copy the content of each transmission, and there was no need to confirm the identities of both parties to the communication. ”

"Now she's gathering right under our noses...... Rebellion, hehe, that's right, rebellion!"

Hathaway changed back to a cold tone: "You should know the consequences of delaying, within a day, you can solve these troubles, I mean completely solved, we don't ask." ”

Rimako took a deep breath, then nodded heavily.

At the end of the communication, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and the magnificent space that had made his soul stir made him feel lonely and helpless.

After a few moments, he stopped and activated the communicator.

Hathaway's renovation of the Aurora has just begun, and the portal and teleportation are the top priority projects, and they have already been completed.

He sent a command to his most trusted cronies in the main plane: "Flordo......"

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

In the Emperor's bedchamber in the tower in the center of Tangus's temple mountain, Jon's eyes widened and he said in horror, "Offline! What are you doing here!?"

Offlyn bit her lip and kept her tone as calm as possible, "Jon, I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, it's actually what you should do, but you're ......"

"Okay, that's my problem, I took care of you too well in the past, so that you didn't go through any ups and downs, and as a result, you were still weak like a child, so I had to stand in front. ”

Jon's cheeks flushed, and he said angrily, "I'm not a kid anymore......! You're almost sixteen years old! How can you make your own decisions about such a big thing?"

Offlyn raised her head and sneered: "Yes, you are the emperor, I am just your courtier, how can I still treat you as a child and make decisions for you?"

"Even if I once raised you like a mother, as long as you want, everything I ...... Including the body must be given to you. As for my reputation, my glory, what is it? You are the emperor......"

Jon was deflated and turned to mutter, "It's not fair, Offreynn, you didn't ...... Resolute refusal. ”

Offlyn's cheeks were also a little red, and she sighed, "Jon, I thought you really needed it, so I didn't say no. Now I also feel that you really need it, so I ignore your objections, and it's all because ......"

She also turned her head, as if to hide her emotions: "Because I love you, Jon, you are not just my emperor, nor is you just the child I raised and taught. ”

Jon was pleasantly surprised, "Really, really?"

Overlynn whispered: "Jon, think about it, there is no Her Majesty Theresia in the Salvation Alliance, it is the Red Union that attacked Heavenly Mountain, and even the Dawning Star has become the war fortress of the Salvation Alliance, can our Dawning Empire really be saved?"

Jon was puzzled: "Aren't we trying to awaken Her Majesty's will to help her defeat His Majesty Heim and regain the throne?

Overlyn shook her head: "Where the emperor is, there is the empire." ”

Jon was stunned, but Offlyn suddenly hugged him, and his whole body was sent into Jon's arms, and his voice was as hot as his body: "So we can still be together, can't we?"

Jon's breathing became cloudy, and he nodded subconsciously, "Okay...... Okay Aufrin, it's up to you, I trust you, and I'm the only one you can trust. ”

Offrin looked up, and waited for her lips to part, before Jon came to her senses, both joyful and guilty.

He mustered up the courage to explain, and Offlyn smiled, "Podina should be our fellow traveler, you did the right thing Jon, we should be together." ”

Jon's mind was already in a daze, and he didn't even think about what would happen if this "should" didn't hold, he didn't even bother to think about what the nobles who were called in would do, Offlyn would have done it anyway.

At this time, he only thought about one thing: "It's going to be a long time before we get there, Offlyn......"

Overlyn looked away, a little hesitant.

She pinched her pocket, made sure the pouch was okay, and took a deep breath to meet Jon's gaze.

"Okay, my ...... His Majesty the Emperor ......"

She said something Jon had never heard before, but it was something he had thought for a long time: "Give it to me, try harder, give me everything." ”

As she put Offlyn on the bed, Jon glanced out the window.

Today's crescent moon is so bright, with a wisp of red, it must be blessing yourself.

He thought so and pressed it down.
