Chapter 386: When the Dark Tide Rises
"General East?" Star Rail said in surprise, "It refers to the Eastern General, one of the five generals of the Empire, the 'Wolf of the Sky Hunter' Graves Holt?"
Lisa's expression was solemn, and she nodded: "General Dong is the pillar of the eastern part of the empire, and he will actually disappear at this time......"
"At this time?" Star Rail keenly grasped the key information, "What's going on in the eastern part of the empire?"
Lisa looked at the star track, her beautiful eyes full of concern, "The core of the problem is not the eastern part of the empire, but the Duchy of Odin!"
"Duchy of Odin, what's wrong with it?" Star Rail was surprised, wasn't this the country they were in now!
This country, which is extremely tolerant of the mercenary system and has allowed mercenaries to develop rapidly, is also a vassal state of the empire, so what conflict will it have with the Eastern Army?
"This is a long story, and it can be regarded as a historical legacy. Lisa said, "Do you know the history of the Duchy of Odin?"
Star Rail's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded: "I know a little bit, the Duchy of Odin used to be one of the vassal states of the Radiant Empire, and during the civil war of the Radiant Empire, it chose the current imperial camp, so it survived." As far as I know, the Duchy of Odin is not only extremely open to the mercenary system, but also has a high degree of openness to the faith of the Holy See, and is the country with the highest popularity of the Holy See in the Empire. ”
"You've got to the point!" Lisa said, "The Duchy of Odin is a country of faith in the Holy Court, and ninety percent of the citizens of the entire country are believers in the Holy Court, and under the influence of this, many mercenaries in the Duchy of Odin also have a tendency to become believers in the Holy Court. ”
"Oh?" Star Rail said in surprise, "Mercenaries, a profession that advocates free will, also convert to religion?"
"Some people have to worship God to have peace of mind. Lisa said: "In fact, the reason why the Duchy of Odin invests so many resources to develop mercenaries is also supported by the Holy Court. ”
Star Rail was even more surprised when he heard this, "The Holy Court is deliberately supporting the development of mercenaries in the Duchy of Odin to promote their own teachings?"
"That's right, we, the Van Lentare family, are also investors. Lisa said: "The Duchy of Odin has a huge background in the Holy Court, and it is inextricably linked with the Holy Court both openly and secretly, originally the Empire just turned a blind eye, but the recent actions of the Empire have stirred the nerves of the Principality of Odin." ”
"What is the Empire's action?" Although Star Rail has always paid attention to current affairs, there have been so many things that have happened recently that he has not had time to pay attention to them.
"You know, the current emperor is an ambitious emperor, and for so many years, he has been strengthening the centralization of power and strengthening the strength of the imperial family. Lisa said, "Because of this, the power of the various dependent kingdoms and principalities is gradually weakened, and this touches the interests of the Holy Court in the Duchy of Odin......"
She sighed lightly, "So the Duchy of Odin is preparing to hold a referendum, break away from the imperial rule, and throw itself into the arms of the Holy See, with the number of Holy Court believers in the Duchy of Odin, there is almost no suspense about the outcome of the referendum." ”
"The Empire will never give up a principality, and it is also a principality with huge mercenary resources!"
"Yes, so the Eastern Army has already started to act, but at this juncture, General Dong is missing......" Lisa frowned, "This is a dangerous signal. ”
"Could it be that the Principality of Odin did it?" Star Rail shook his head as soon as he finished speaking, "No, the Principality of Odin can't have the ability to deal with General Dong!"
The strength of a principality, no matter how strong it is, is impossible to compete with the Eastern Army, let alone a master who can compete with the Eastern General.
"Holy Court?!" Star Rail thought of the only possibility!
The Holy Court organization, its strength is probably not inferior to the empire they are in now!
Lisa shook her head, "The Holy Court probably won't do it himself, after all, this is a national internal affair, and rash action will inevitably leave a handle." ”
"What about ......," Star Rail's eyes lit up, "fake hands on mercenaries?"
"I think so too. Lisa fully agrees with the Star Orbit hypothesis, which is the most likely hypothesis.
"But the mercenaries who can deal with General Dong are also rare, is it ......" Star Rail thought of a possibility, but felt that it was too ridiculous, and his eyes couldn't help but sweep to the several rooms at the top of the Fairy Gate.
Could it be a coincidence that none of the members of the fairy squad are there?
"Do you think it could be Arya's senpai's fairy squad?" Lisa read Star Track's thoughts.
"It's just a momentary thought, after all, they're not there. Star Rail shook his head and said, "But this shouldn't be possible, there is no reason for Senior Aria to accept such a commission." ”
"I think so too, and in my mind, there are more dubious targets. Lisa said, "Or nine times out of ten, it's them." ”
"Do you know who it is?" Star Rail asked.
"Do you remember when I told you that there was someone behind the Thunder Squad?" asked Lisa.
"Of course I do. Star Orbit: "'Dawn of Thunder' Shuda Gouland? What do you mean ......?"
Star Track's eyes suddenly opened, "Star Capture Squad?!"

In the rocky forest, the towering boulders have almost completely turned into powder, piled up into a desert-like undulating sand dune.
On the highest sand dune, a sturdy figure sits cross-legged, with a naked, strong muscles and well-proportioned lines, like a ghostly mountain range, on which thunder flows, like a river flowing endlessly.
"Xiuda, is the fairy trial about to begin?" a woman's faint voice sounded in his ears.
"Tomorrow. His answer was succinct.
"How's the little ones preparing?"
"With their strength, they can get the job done 100 percent. Xiuda's eyes were closed, and his tone was extremely confident, "It's you, is General Dong's whereabouts confirmed?"
"After all, it's the 'Wolf of the Sky Hunter', and I still underestimate him too much. ”
"It's not like you'd make a mistake. Xiuda said lightly: "Do you need my help?"
"There's no need to disrupt the plan, he's at the end of his life, and he can't escape from my palm. ”
"Graves was able to become the general of the Imperial Eastern Army, but it was not by luck. ”
"Do you think I became the leader of the 'Star Snatching Squad' by luck?"
Xiu Da was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "Sometimes luck is also part of strength. ”
"You think about the Gurland again. ”
"You shouldn't just bring it up. Shuda's tone became a little cold.
"It's my fault. The woman smiled faintly, "In any case, deal with the issue of the 'Crimson Feather', and keep an eye on the movements of the Dark Demon Wizard Order and the Gulander family, after all, our purpose is not just to take the bounty of the Holy Court." ”
"I know. Xiuda slowly opened his eyes, the thunder was fast, and the momentum was like a thunderbolt, looking at the vast land of the Principality of Odin in the distance, "The hunting country mission cannot be missed." ”
