Volume 1 - Showers Chapter 107: The Stopped Offensive (3)

Transcript of the Sacred Reckoning Audience of Clerk de Grefa:

Many days have passed since the last one, and the agenda has been on hold.

In fact, His Majesty the Holy Emperor was not idle, but was dealing with two things. The first was of course the poisoning of Abdul bin Harasa al-Azqi bin Harasa Shamanquey Warat, a member of the envoys of the Kingdom of Ahmad, while the other was based on gossip that there were attempts to incite mobs to loot shops and plan reactionary demonstrations in Falkenridge, with the shadow of foreign forces behind them.

His Excellency Kiruj Wadden, Commander of the Falkenridge Garrison and Sheriff, was visibly emaciated today, his beautiful beard had fallen out in handfuls, and his eyes were deeply sunken—he must have been exhausted.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor approved some funds to cover additional investigative activities. Lord Elizabeth Delcula, the Lady of the Whale, provided some additional funds and provided a personal guard she had brought with her to assist Lord Wadden in his investigation.

His Excellency Wadden was at a loss, and the Iron Lotus Guards supported by Lord Dracula were a life-saving formula like "Elsa's Kiss" - with the help of the Iron Lotus Guards, Lord Wadden quickly caught the clues.

As for the extra men hired earlier, although they were not dismissed by Lord Wadden after the "Iron Lotus" guards, they also ran errands and worked - the main reconnaissance tasks and intelligence were all completed by the "Iron Lotus" guards, and the arrest operations were carried out by the Falkenridge security guards.

Speaking of the "Iron Lotus" guard, it is truly a legend. The Iron Lotus is a professional army and mercenary organization founded by the Lotas family. Unlike ordinary professional soldiers and mercenaries, the threshold of "Iron Lotus" is simply prohibitive. This mercenary team, which has responded to the call of the founding emperor of the empire since the founding of the Holy Falcon Empire, only accepts mercenaries above grade B who are listed in the mercenary union.

However, that doesn't mean that you can get a ticket to Iron Lotus if you reach Tier B. Iron Lotus will assess you: a three-year character assessment and a task completion assessment. In fact, all Iron Lotus's mercenaries receive regular salaries plus special rewards, which is much more secure than ordinary mercenaries. Therefore, when Iron Lotus organized its own mercenary chamber of commerce, even the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce could not shake its position - it would be a big joke to say that the caravan that went on the road with Iron Lotus was robbed, and in Iron Lotus's caravan, any coachman's swordsmanship can stab you into a hole.

Therefore, many chambers of commerce will pay a fee in exchange for the qualification to travel with the Iron Lotus caravan, and there are also many traveling merchants, foot merchants, and raw material transportation teams who directly sell their goods to the Iron Lotus or hand them over to the Iron Lotus at a discount. For the former, Iron Lotus will be responsible for selling the goods after eating them; For the latter, Iron Lotus will give a share to the supplier after the goods are sold, which is mainly used for large transactions.

Therefore, for these Iron Lotus guards, finding out the news and probing for clues is as simple as eating and drinking, except for professional thieves and killers, this group of people is the most proficient in this.

His Excellency Wadden has arrested several groups of people. Some of these people have confessed, the evidence is conclusive, and some are still holding on, and His Excellency Wadden swears to His Majesty the Holy Emperor that he will pry open the mouths of these die-hards.

According to the available information, a number of trade union forces were involved in the shops and nobles, and the emperor was furious and ordered that all the nobles involved should be searched by Lord Exkushin. In the end, all the clues point in two directions, but I personally think it's a bit too bizarre. One of them is the Blade of Erepos, a secret killer organization that has long since been wiped out in history, while the other points to the evil criminal wanted by all Elsa: Bland, the Elephant Summoner.

"Violeta! Violeta! Take Lady Claire off the walls! She's hurt! Babud shouted to Violeta, who was bombarding the soldiers of Tangnis with a broomstick in mid-air.

"Damn! Babde, what are you kidding? Oh~ You've learned to joke too. Okay, help me clear a safe area and get out! Violetta pressed the broom and rushed downward. Two Targanis soldiers saw a witch on a broomstick swooping down, and hurriedly set up their weapons to slash. Violeta held a broom in her left hand, waved her wand in her right hand, and the rubble on the ground formed a palm, first grabbed one man and threw him off the wall, and then commanded the magically turned stone hand to fan another soldier and drop him into the crowd, where he was cut down by the Zamir and Griffon soldiers who swarmed him.

Babud protected Elpala in one hand and a tomahawk in the other, slashing back and forth. Everywhere the tomahawk went, a burst of blood erupted at once. "Soldiers! Draw on me! Protect your sir! "Babud rushed back and forth, but there were too many enemies, cut down one and another came up, at this moment she was protecting Elpala, and she could not fully exert her combat power, so she had to order the soldiers to gather in a small area to create an opportunity for Violeta's landing.

"Enough! Babd! Lady Claire, grab my hand and I'll pull you up! Violetta hovered over Babud and Elpala, attempting to pull El Para up on a broomstick. However, the first attempt failed, and a stray arrow came at him, forcing Violetta to change the broom's trajectory and rise again.

"Shit! Try again, Violeta! Babud scolded regretfully.

Violetta had no choice but to go around in circles and swoop down from the height again. This time her trajectory was particularly perfect, and the path of flight streaked through the air in a graceful arc. Elpara dropped his weapon and grabbed Violetta with both hands. Violetta clamped her broom tightly between her legs, reached out with her left hand to grab Elpala's arm, and lowered her wand with her right hand. When a soft blue light enveloped Elpala, Violetta pulled the not-so-light Elpala onto a broomstick with one hand and quickly lifted him into the air, away from the city walls.

"Ms. Violeta! Thank you, just put me in the city, and I can continue to command after a little rest. Elpala said.

"Don't talk anymore, ma'am, you're badly wounded." Violetta pouted. "You are the commander of the army of the logging fortress Zanmir, and if something happens to you, our morale will plummet. At the moment the toxicity of bow mushrooms has not yet been revealed, and you can't fall down yet. ”

"I knew that even if I was just sitting in the city and directing, I was a benchmark. If the Supreme Governor falls, we're finished. The eagle fighters are struggling to stand alone. Elpala whispered as she lay behind Violeta, gasping for air. Blood ran down her helmet and onto Violeta's cloak.

"A wise decision, so please be sure to take care of yourself." Violetta replied satisfied.

Elpala nodded her head to show that she agreed with the plan, but she changed her mind and got rid of the one thing she gave Violeta. "In that case, then I'll have a good rest, but you'll have to find Givell to take my command. The kid Gvir was in a state of great concentration as soon as he started fighting, so Lady Violetta dragged the kid off the wall for me. ”

Violetta nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am, but promise me that you must stay with Master Griffinhardt—in a safe place. ”

"Okay."

Violetta flew straight into the council hall of the fortress, explained the situation to old Griffinhardt, and returned to the battlefield to find the young man named Givell.

When Violetta finds Givir, he finds that the first half of the mission is very simple, but the second half is very tricky.

It was very easy to find Geville, only to see that Geville's original blood-red armor and cloak were about to turn black at this time. Violetta believed that if the cloak was taken off and twisted, it would definitely be able to wring blood.

Gvir holds a sword in his right hand, a round shield tied to his left arm, and a dagger hidden in his left hand. He led a few soldiers and was slashing at the enemy in a frenzy - almost faster than she could kill with magic. The small section of the wall he was responsible for defending was almost completely wiped out by the enemy.

However, when he landed, he realized that Geville's state should not be "focused", his state was very much like a madness like "bloodthirsty" or "fanatic".

I saw him roaring single-handedly and rushing towards a small group of enemy troops, piercing one person with a single sword. After covering the enemy's weapon with his left hand, the dagger hidden in his hand was easily and accurately delivered into the eye socket of another Tangnis soldier. The soldier looked surprised and covered his eyes with his hands, but before he could scream, his body collapsed.

Gevilll took the opportunity to draw the sword that pierced the first enemy, and at the same time kicked the third man in the knee with a hard kick. The Targnis soldier, who had been kicked in the knee, lost his balance and fell on Geville. Geville let go of his dagger and stepped back, letting go of the soldier's body, and slashed his sword across the back of his neck, pulling out a bead of blood.

"Givwell! Geville! Lady Claire is wounded, and she's letting you take over her command! Violetta decided not to get too close, so she shouted on her broomstick.

Gvir turned a deaf ear, focusing only on the three remaining Tangnis soldiers in front of him.

"Damn!! What evil has fallen into this young man! There's only one way, don't blame me, boy."
