Records of the Holy Congregation of the Scribe de Grefa:

His Excellency Kiruj Wadden, Commander of the Falkenridge Garrison and Sheriff, was summoned by His Majesty the Holy Emperor before today's regular meeting, and after three hours of secret talks, His Majesty the Emperor left His Excellency Wadden to observe the Holy Meeting. Also present at the meeting were the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Ollie Grandet, the Supreme Military Commander of the Empire, the Invincible Hathaway, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lady Rose Lennon of the Valkenridge Rose, the President of the Astrology Society, Codename Blue Star, and the Holy Falcon Empire Royal Assassin Consul Miss Lilina the "Needle Angel".

Today's agenda revolves around the proposed war against the Isis Empire. Lord Dracula was clearly more comfortable than he had been in the past few days. As soon as the agenda began, Mistress Delcula gave an impassioned speech that was apparently well prepared—she still insisted that a trade war would have more to gain than an invasion by force.

Mistress Gage applauded the speech for its excitement and excitement, but as soon as he turned his head on to the benefits of war.

I saw that many people present, even the emperor, were moved. This is not to say that Master Gagett's rebuttal is very clever, but it is indeed a great problem that the Holy Falcon Empire is currently facing.

Since the Emperor's accession to the throne, His Majesty has been committed to two things. The first is to clean up the mess left by the father of the previous emperor, that is, His Majesty the Holy Emperor. After a series of policies were promulgated, the country's population was restored, and diplomacy with neighboring countries was resumed.

The second thing is to work on consolidating the imperial power and reducing the influence of the Church of Ella in the empire. By vastly dividing the lords and uniting the power of the lords, the great nobles, and the great merchants, he gradually reduced the fact that the power of the church in the old years of the former emperor affected the imperial power.

The most notable achievement was the abolition of the system of "divine authority of the monarchy" through the efforts of His Majesty the Emperor. Since then, the power of the Church has been completely purged from political deliberations, and the Church has been reduced to a body with no real power that only maintains sacrifices and helps the common people, which has caused the displeasure of the Blazing Gods.

However, in the face of the alliance of secular forces, the Blazing Divine Attendant had to give up the right to senate in order to retain the right to preach. Sadly, His Majesty's policies still left a rift in the stability of the Empire. Nowadays, the nobles and lords in the empire are huge, and some lords are united with big merchants and big chambers of commerce, and they can even influence the emperor's decision-making.

In order to maintain the stability of the empire, the emperor had to divide the land in his hands piece by piece, and finally concentrated power, because the "war" and "purge" of the church were once again dispersed.

That is why the emperor was so interested in war. Although Lord Gage is not "friendly" to his subjects, he knows the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor very well, and he also has a deep understanding of imperial politics. In this regard, Dracula and Slava are inadequate.

Although I know that these two are really thinking about the long-term development of the empire, but far water can't save the near fire, and Lord Gage can always easily scratch the "itchy flesh" of His Majesty the Emperor.

Wise as His Majesty the Emperor sometimes refrains from expressing his opinion and lets Lord Gage act as his mouthpiece, it has to be said that His Majesty the Emperor is very politically skillful.

In the end, the meeting was settled by the majority of the people, and the conscription was issued empire-wide, and each Grand Leader was assigned one-fifth of his troops to the Holy Falcon Empire's Expeditionary Crusade. The remainder was led by the lords themselves, besieging the Isis Empire on three sides. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see the instrument of surrender of the female pharaoh Cleopatra III, the certificate of cession, and the war indemnity.

Lord Slava still wanted to make an effort, and His Majesty the Emperor was kind enough to allow Lord Slava to give his final speech. The Slava analyzes the difficulty of war in terms of the development of the country and the political form of Aisha. His Majesty the Emperor was slightly displeased, but he did not rebuke Lord Slava - His Majesty the Emperor knew that what Lord Slava said was also reasonable, but he could not wait, and the domestic situation was about to erupt.

Mistress Slava tried to argue a few more words, but was rudely interrupted by Mistress Gagett.

Mistress Gheget ridiculed Lord Slava for not knowing what to do, and Lord Slava was so enraged that he told everyone else that Lord Ghejit was sending troops against the Zambir territory.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and once again confirmed Lord Slava's statement. After receiving Lord Slava's approval, His Majesty the Emperor asked Lord Gegit if there was any such thing.

Lord Gegit was unfazed and generously admitted the fact of the invasion, but he also had his reasons. Master Gage accuses Master Slava of harboring Elsa's most murderous wanted criminal, "Brand, the Elephant Summoner". He also said that a large number of creatures infected with black striation had been found in the territory of Zamir - as we all know, the whole world was once shrouded in the haze of black striation, and once the traces of the Elephant Summoner Brand were discovered, they must be killed with all their might, along with her evil research.

Lord Slava said that this was impossible, that he was absolutely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and that he was committed to eradicating the evil in the world, and that it was impossible for him to harbor Bland.

Mistress Ghejit summoned three witnesses, who were found to be Zamir Lords, and Lord Slava even recognized one of them as the Orion of Neverwinter, who had disappeared a year earlier.

All three swore that they had seen creatures infected with black striated disease in Zammir, and that the hunter had seen them with his own eyes, and that he had been lucky enough to survive. Slava angrily drew his sword and confronted the Orion, but this was stopped by all the military attachés present.

Then Lord Slava knelt before His Majesty the Emperor, and he vouched for nothing to do with Brand with his head.

His Majesty the Emperor personally questioned the three witnesses as to whether there was evidence of direct or indirect contact between Brand and Slava. The three of them did not dare to hide it in the face of the emperor's authority, and only said that they had seen creatures infected by black striat, and as for the relationship between Lord Slava and Brand, they had not seen or heard of it.

His Majesty the Emperor asked Lord Slava to get up, and he looked at Slava and Gaget slightly, and said, "Damn it! We're about to use troops against the Isis Empire! Two of my most powerful lords are actually fighting! God, it's ridiculous to say it! My right-hand man actually started fighting first. Damn it, I order you two to stop fighting immediately! Lilina, you personally urge these two "young and hot-blooded" lads to cease fighting! Ella, you two are lords who are almost 50 years old, and I see that you are only 8 years old. Gagett, Slava, and Brand just wandered to the territory of Zanmir, do you see what I mean? ”

The two had no choice but to say yes. His Majesty the Emperor said, "You two now go back to Zanmir for me, and the war will be stopped!" Stop the war immediately! Right now! Immediately! Right away! Go back to the truce! ”

The two of them walked briskly out of the council chamber amid the roar of the Emperor and the ridicule of the crowd.

"Life and death must be balanced, High Priest of Svertana, look, the fire of the Ivory!" A death hugger maid said, pointing to a fire in the night.

"Damn! We're too slow! All of you summon your mounts, the dragon with the dragon, the broom with the broomstick, and the rest on horseback, and speed up! The Wolf's Tooth Fortress must not fall into the hands of the enemy! Svertana said. Then she recited a spell and summoned her own Wood Nightmare.

It's a mana creature made up of green and black mana. It doesn't usually have a form of its own, and when summoned by its owner, it needs mana and actual matter to form its body. With the intrinsic connection of the Death Huggers and the Nightmares, they have a will of their own once they form a body.

For a time, there were those who summoned mounts, those who summoned broomsticks, those who turned over and rode their own blue speed dragons, and even a female druid called for three Zammir wildebeests. The group just rushed towards the Wolf's Tooth Castle.

When they arrived near the Wolf's Tooth Castle, they found that the gates of the Wolf's Tooth Fortress had been breached, and Miriaria, Wenna, Mark, and Lily were leading the remnants of the army to resist desperately. They held half of the castle and engaged in a fierce white-knuckle battle under a circular arch.

Lily is wielding her wand to shoot flames one after another, effectively stopping the enemy attack. Mark was mortally wounded, and Winner had a massive cut in his shoulder, blood and sweat running down his upside-out armor to the ground. Mirialia led the Blue Speed Dragoons to occupy a high platform and was firing at the enemy.

"Wenna! Miriaria! Lily! Look, it's Ms. Svertana! Our reinforcements are coming! Mark shouted with his back against a broken wooden door.

Lily's heart fluttered when she saw reinforcements coming, and she tapped her throat with her wand, and magic amplified her voice: "Soldiers of Wolf's Tooth Castle! Our reinforcements are coming! It's Ms. Svertana! She brought more than 100 spellcasters! Soldiers, work harder! Drive the Tangnis mongrels out of our land! Wolf！ We hunt！ ”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Lord Burton! Enemy reinforcements are coming, and it's more than a hundred spellcaster reinforcements! We're on the back burner! A non-commissioned officer said.

"Damn! Falling short! We can't beat the Ivory! There are more than 100 spellcasters! Fall back! Fall back! Prapi Bolton ordered. But at this time, he couldn't take much care of it, and quickly withdrew from the Wolf's Tooth Fort with hundreds of soldiers and non-commissioned officers, and ran all the way to the land of Tangenis.

"Anyway, it's a feint, it doesn't matter if you can beat the Wolf's Tooth Castle or not, as long as the master's plan can succeed," he thought. "Leave the deserters and the wounded alone! All men get on their horses and protect me from retreat! ”
