Chapter 64: The Sacrifice (1)

The Carlin family's therapist diligently ran to the hotel area and restored the burns and scars on Bobcat's body. Bobkat, who had already healed, snorted there with a leaky mouth: "You useless guys, I'm sick to death in my body, don't you have any recourse?" He deliberately flowed the fighting energy in his body indiscriminately, shaking out all the magic power of those mages.

Several healing mages glanced at each other helplessly, and explained in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, this is the damage caused by the chaos of the fighting qi in your body, our mana is not strong enough, there is no way to suppress such an injury, you can only rely on yourself to recuperate." If it's the Holy Spirit Wizard Mage of the 'Divine City', their power can help you stabilize the situation in your body, but we are just ordinary mages of the Fortune God, so ... ”

Lei stood by the door frame and said with a little surprise: "In other words, His Royal Highness Prince Bobkaat has been unable to move Luo in the past few days, but Master Mage, even if you can't treat the injuries in his body, at least you have to treat the external injuries thoroughly, and now this sequelae can't be done." ”

Several mages were stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously, "General, we have already healed all the external injuries." ”

Lei grinned and pointed at Bobkat's sunken cheeks, and said with a smile: "But what about His Royal Highness's teeth? His teeth have only given birth to a dozen in the middle, and he will not be able to eat meat very comfortably in the future." For a man, there is no way to eat meat in large pieces, which is a pain. ”

Bobkaat let out a low howl, and he said coldly: "Don't worry about the general, our ancestral spirit altar in the Bicester Empire can allow the warrior with the beast soul to completely recover the wounds on his body, this point, the general doesn't have to worry too much, you, you should be busy with something." ”

Ray shook his head for a moment, turned around and left, muttering in his mouth: "I just saw you kill Katratt and wanted to come to greet him, since I don't appreciate it, then forget it." Alas, it's a pity that I didn't see the wonderful duel between the two, and last night, the whole Smart Emperor was very lively. The common people say that it is the gods who have descended, hehe, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have actually become a god, what a good luck. ”

Several of the Carlin healers smiled and bowed, and after saying goodbye to Bobkat, they walked out after Ray. After a while, the fighting spirit in Bobkat's body was seriously disordered, and the information that it was impossible to continue the operation in the short term was sent to Carlin.

Carlin, who was dealing with Catrat's serious injury, glanced at the report in front of him lightly, and nodded to indicate that he knew. He now has to rely on the power of the Minister of War to suppress the angry Janissaries and soldiers, and at the same time carefully deal with the anger of the emperor who is about to step down, and to sprinkle a smoke screen, so that the dukes and ministers who have not yet been effectively loyal to him think that the matter has nothing to do with him, and a bunch of troublesome things waiting to be dealt with by himself, where does he have time to care if Pobkat can still move?

The current emperor of the Smart Empire was sensitively aware that the attack on Catrat was directed at him, but he had no evidence of who was behind the incident. He knew that the internal dark tide of the empire was turbulent, but the imperial garrison department couldn't find any news, so he had no choice but to recruit such a strong helper as Katrat to help him stabilize the situation in the imperial capital, but Katrat was seriously injured and dying, and it was obvious that some people's conspiracy was about to be launched.

The Emperor really had no choice but to hand over the defense of the Praetorian Legion to someone in his imperial family, the only person he dared to trust now, that is, his youngest daughter. At the same time, he strictly ordered the Marquis of Purple Carrot and other high-ranking officials of the garrison to investigate who had attacked Catrat, but who would report the exact news to these ministers who had already taken refuge in Carlin?

Kalin hovered above the Imperial Capital, surrounded by hundreds of Smart's most powerful mages. He looked coldly at the huge magic array on the ground, his hands clenched together, and he moaned in a low voice: "Oh my God, all of this should be mine." It's mine ... My dear little princess, I actually asked you to be the acting commander of the Praetorian Legion, and our Majesty really has no one in his hands. Hmm, dear, wouldn't it be better that I should date you out, and let me get you before I kill you?"

Caroka behind him listened to Carlin's self-talk with a blue face, and then kicked it out, shouting in a low voice: "If you dare, I will... The sword in her hand swung slightly.

Karlin's whole face shrank, and he sighed and said, "Karoka, you can't be like this, the emperor of the continent, who doesn't have many mistresses? ”

Karoka snorted: "Anyway, it can't be her, understand? You better hurry up and take care of those things, hmph, the memorial service is about to begin, I don't want it to turn into a scuffle." ”

Yes, the memorial service is about to begin. The ornately decorated ceremonial officials had already begun to explain the itinerary of the memorial to the various envoys in the hotel area. Countless people in the imperial capital also dragged their wives and children to the location of the memorial square more than 100 miles away, and many of them had to rely on walking to get there, so they had to go a day in advance, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with the official opening of the memorial service.

In the sky, you can see a group of ten people, a team of 100 people Smart mages, wearing luxurious magic robes, flying up gently from the direction of the temple, one by one, with solemn faces, riding the breeze, and gently flying over the imperial capital. On the ground, those low-level mages or mage apprentices, etc., because they did not have the strength to fly, were holding feather scepters symbolizing the god of wisdom, lined up in a neat line, wearing uniform uniforms, and under the escort of countless knights of the Red Scorpion Legion, they walked towards the main venue of the memorial step by step.

Thunder They set off in the early hours of the next morning, before the sun had risen. They only brought some ordinary personal guards with them, and under the escort of the masters of several directly subordinate legions in the imperial capital arranged by Karin, the envoys of the six countries went to the main venue of the memorial one after another. Behind them, with the dull sound of a cannon salute, the emperor of the Smart Empire, escorted by the Praetorian Guard, also set off. With the deployment of the six legions directly under the imperial capital, the four guerrilla legions, and the Praetorian Legion, the defense of the city was handed over to the troops of the garrison controlled by Purple Carota. Bobkat, who was lying on the bed like a dead pig just now, had already quickly got up, lightly put on a full set of armor, and covered his face with a thick black cloth.

Only then did Ray and Jerry have the opportunity to ask the three diplomats of their empire, "What is the result of your discussion with Smart's high-level officials?"

The three high-ranking officials of the Ministry of State looked at Lei and Jerry helplessly, and sighed: "Their emperor refuses to return our three provinces, saying that it should be their territory, and he still said some cruel and ugly words, in short, it is very unkind to our Van Empire... And several important ministers around him want us to redeem those three provinces with a hundred trillion gold coins, otherwise there is no need to talk about it. ”

Ray and Jerry's eyes widened, and Ray almost screamed, "One hundred trillion gold coins? That's the total income of our empire for thousands of years, damn, it's hard to say if there are so many gold coins in our treasury, damn, just for the sake of three provinces?"

Jerry bit his lip dryly, and said gloomily: "Then, next year is not counted, in the spring of another year, we must use force to recover our land." He calculated that the training of the recruits would probably not be completed until next autumn, and it would be impossible to raise troops on a large scale after the fall, so he would have to start again after the spring of the following year.

Ray grinded his teeth and looked at the Smart officers and soldiers who were escorting them nearby with a somewhat gloomy look, and he was ready to provoke a few unlucky ghosts to beat them up. Lei has already tasted the advantages of being a diplomat, that is, as long as he does not commit too big things in other countries, beating people up, and making trouble, the host country will not be strictly investigated.

Lomat whispered, "Not necessarily, maybe we'll get good news in a few days." Two adults, if Carlin comes to power, then the provinces that oppose him will definitely join forces, right? If we put a little pressure on him then, Carlin is a smart man. ”

Jerry smiled, "yes, Lomat, you're right. The monolithic Smart Empire is qualified not to return our province, but with a turbulent and civil strife Smart Empire, he has to obediently spit out the land, well, okay, don't talk more, be careful of the people nearby, let's hurry up. ”

Three hours later, Lei and the others had already arrived near the main venue, which was a plain with abundant water and grass, but where were there any buildings? Lei shouted in surprise: "What else do they say about the square, it turns out that it is really a square, such a flat piece of land, not a single brick can be seen." ”

Lomat blushed a little and looked at Ray, whose voice had already drawn the attention of many people nearby. Lomat explained in a helpless whisper: "My lord, the main venue of the Smart Empire for the worship of the gods is usually buried deep in the ground, and only during the worship ceremony will the venue be raised by magic. This is very famous on the mainland, haven't you heard of it?"

Ray also looked at the people nearby a little surprised, the fierce light in his eyes sparkled, and after forcing the eyes of those Smart people back, he whispered: "Really, fake? Such a big venue, which is said to be able to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, can actually rise from the ground?"

Jerry nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is a great building built by God Himself in ancient times. However, the current mage strength of the Smart Empire has weakened a lot compared to the primeval era, so it is necessary to rely on that huge magic array to raise the venue... Especially... Jerry desperately lowered his voice: "Especially this war with us, their mage team has suffered heavy losses, so this time it is almost all the mages from all over the country to come to the imperial capital, of course, God knows what Kalin's idea is." ”

Lomat said faintly, "It's nothing, it's just an opportunity to spy on all the mages and kill those who don't obey at the same time." ”

Lei nodded, and under the leadership of the generals of the Calima Legion in front of them, the people of their envoys arrived in a spacious place, where they could clearly see the panorama of the venue, that is, a flat land with a diameter of about two thousand meters. Ray watched Smart's official people walk away, and hurriedly said, "However, I still don't understand, how did Carlin launch it? Just kill the emperor directly, and then declare himself to be the emperor?"

Jerry and Lomat nodded heavily: "Yes, this is the most straightforward and direct way, Ray, haven't you learned the history of the continent? The seven largest countries on the continent, the change of each dynasty is like this, as long as you clean up the royal family of the old emperor, suppress all the nobles who are not convinced, and have the support of a group of nobles, you can become the new emperor... Strange, this is the original text of the general history of the mainland. ”

Ray blinked, and couldn't understand why the three old pedants didn't tell him this. But they didn't think that how could Shagru let those old fellows teach Ray how to rebel? He wished that every general was as obedient as a pug, and that a simple person like Ray was his favorite type, and he naturally hoped that there was nothing in Ray's mind that might threaten him.

After waiting for a long, long time, when the sun was about to rise in the middle of the sky, the Emperor Smart's chariot finally arrived, and his luxurious carriage slowly drove under the escort of 100,000 newly formed Praetorian Guards. When he was still twenty miles away from the venue, the 100,000 Praetorian Guard legions were densely lined up on the plain, and only 5,000 Praetorian Guard Knights followed him.

Carlin and his teacher, the High Priest of the Smart Empire, let out a soft breath and glanced at each other. If that guy is still there, it is estimated that no one present can subdue him, and it is likely that Karin himself will be harmed, fortunately, Ray and Bobkat abolished Catrat, and fortunately, the High Priest mobilized all the royal mages, so that no one went to treat Catrat.

The yellow-faced Emperor Smart stood on the carriage, glanced at Karin and Karlin's father coldly, and smiled kindly at the High Priest: "High Priestess, can we start?"

The high priest looked at the sky with sparkling green eyes, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the time has not yet come, and when it is noon, it is the time when the divine power is the strongest, and at that time, we can activate the magic array to achieve the best effect." He was secretly muttering in his heart: "Old immortal, you should step down too, my apprentice is the best person to replace you." He becomes the emperor, and I will be the supreme one... Do you still think I'm the high priest you can trust? What a fool. ”

Karoka looked at the emperor of the empire, and the petite woman in white behind the emperor, and after a hint of murderous aura flashed in her eyes, she looked into the distance. Over there, the ten legions directly under the control of her father, the Imperial Minister of War, who belonged directly to the Imperial Capital, had already stood with the Praetorian Legion. This is the practice of the empire, regardless of the military and civilians of the imperial capital, regardless of status, will come to observe the glory of God on the day of the official memorial. A total of eleven legions, with a scale of more than half a million people, were densely lined up. Wait a minute, that place is going to be a bloody storm, right?" Karoka thought excitedly, "This cute little princess, after all, is only a princess, she doesn't know that she should be in command of the Praetorian Guard?" ”

Time, noon.

More than 40,000 high-level mages flew into the sky, and those who were covered in black robes with countless silver embroideries on them were the mages directly under the temple, that is, Karlin's henchmen. And those mages with large golden embroideries on their black robes are the royal mages directly under the royal family, directly subordinate to Emperor Smart's mage corps. It can be seen that there are more than 35,000 temple mages in the sky, and there are only about 5,000 mages in the palace.

On the ground, on the east side of the flat land, there are those dense low-level and middle-level mages, and more than eighty percent of them only know the temple, but do not know the emperor, from the mage team, Carlin has occupied an absolute advantage. Carlin and his teacher also flew into the sky in disguise, their hands flashing with a wonderful brilliance. The high priest whispered, "In any case, the sacrifice must be completed, or God will be angry." ”

Carlin smiled, "Of course, my dearest teacher, we are all people who believe in the gods. However, when the festival is over, it is time for us to launch ... What kind of honorific title do you want? Teacher of the Founding Emperor of the Kalin Dynasty, can you tell me what exactly you want?"

The High Priest sneered, swept his eyes in all directions, and whispered, "Then, my dear student, let all the seven countries recognize me as the most powerful mage, and let me be the master of all the mages on the continent, do you have the confidence to do it?"

Karin and the High Priest smirked smugly at the same time, and with a casual hand, a cyan light spilled from their hands.

The blue light hit the thin white roads, and suddenly all those roads emitted a milky white brilliance, and from the air, it looked like a huge white flower blooming on the earth. The forty thousand high-level mages in the air chanted at the same time, and the sound of a huge incantation resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, and the white light became more and more intense, more and more dazzling, and then, as the incantation suddenly rose, these white brilliance suddenly reached a climax, and countless fist-sized, milky white light clusters rose to the sky and fluttered gently in the air.

All the Smart soldiers and civilians present fell to their knees, staring blankly at the sky, and subconsciously muttering prayers from their mouths.

The envoys and officials of the other five countries also fell to their knees in a daze, after all, they believed in the gods, and although this sacrifice was mainly dedicated to the god of wisdom, it would also be sacrificed to all the gods, and they did not dare to stand with their heads held high in such a place.

Only a group of officials and generals of the Van Empire stood firmly on the ground. Lei shouted in a low voice: "Damn, what kind of bullshit, Lao Tzu doesn't believe you, hum." "Lei would rather revere the mountain gods and wild ghosts of the mountains, but he would never believe in these gods who are revered by the entire continent.

Jerry and them, including the three civil officials, all stood solemnly on the spot, the Van Empire, there are no gods to worship, so they will definitely not kneel. With nearly two million people kneeling across the plain, their small group looked particularly abrupt. But no one in Smart's official personnel made any dissatisfied voices, and the people of the Van Empire never knelt down during the ceremony of worshiping the gods, which was something that everyone was used to.

Those white balls of light floated up one after another, in the sky, they gradually gathered together, and gradually turned into a huge white ball of light, emitting an infinite amount of soft light and heat, wisps of crystal light emitted from the white ball of light, gently swept over everyone's body, bringing them an extremely comfortable and warm feeling, as if returning to the mother's womb, so comfortable, so secure.

A feeling of extreme sacredness came over the hearts of those who fell to their knees, and all of them hummed loudly in praise of the gods of heaven.

Those points of light were strangely circumvented two meters away from Lei and their bodies, and there was no point of light close to their bodies, and naturally, the feeling of sacredness and reverence that rippled in the hearts of those people did not appear on Lei Qi's body.

Lei muttered in a low voice: "Look at these people, they are all out of order, if I go to kill them now, I promise to kill them one by one, and kill them cleanly." ”

Jerry's mouth didn't move at all, but the subtle voice came clearly: "Two million people, occupying hundreds of miles, just a few of us, if we can kill them all, it will solve the big trouble of the Smart Empire." Almost all the high-ranking members of their empire were in attendance. ”

Lomat whispered, "There are a few dukes from the provinces who have not arrived, and I have not found anyone similar in appearance and intelligence to them, maybe they have just sent representatives... Hmm, what is this?"

As soon as Lomat's voice fell, the whole ground trembled gently, but unlike the tyrannical tremor during the earthquake, this tremor was gentle, gentle, and the slightest itch Su Su felt that it simply followed the ground and penetrated into everyone's heart, extremely comfortable.

The huge white ball of light in the sky, nearly two kilometers in diameter, gently smashed down towards the ground, smashing into the large open space in the center of the venue.
