Chapter 229: The Green Vine Family's Secret Meeting
Dense Green Vine City, in the secret chamber of the castle of the Lord of Dolan.
Under the dim candle light, the fat face of the Dolan patriarch lingered with a lingering gloom, and the patriarch, who usually looked like a kind old man, sat on the simple rattan chair at this time and had a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and it seemed that there was still a little bit of weakness and good talk in his usual days.
Behind the Dolan patriarch stood the only official-level powerhouse of the Green Vine Family, the old warrior Bei Ge'an, and on the round table in front of him sat a circle of old men in dark clothes.
All the old men without exception wore the badge of the Green Vine family, and the badges were wiped clean without exception.
These people are the real power elders of the Green Vine Family, and each of them has the right to interfere with the direction of the entire family, and generally speaking, only when the survival crisis of the Green Vine Family occurs, these frail old men will gather in the secret room of the Green Vine Family.
At this time, the meeting room was extremely silent, only the sound of everyone's deep or shallow breathing was faint, everyone was waiting for the person sitting on the main throne - Doran Green Vine, the current patriarch of the Green Vine Family, to speak, no one dared to speak at this time, they all knew how the fat man had a resolute and resolute behavior hidden under that submissive mask.
Dolan looked around the elders in a deep voice, and then spoke in a hoarse voice:
"As the thirty-second patriarch of the Green Vine family, I now convene a family secret meeting in the presence of my ancestors, in which everyone is only allowed to discuss the specified contents, and all accountability is postponed until the crisis is over."
Dolan's tone was full of undoubtedness, and all the elders couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the word "crisis".
Facing the puzzled gazes of the elders, Dolan sighed faintly and flipped over the two pieces of parchment on the table:
"I got two pieces of bad news this afternoon............ According to the emergency magic summons of the members of the Royal City family, the Archmage of the Guardian of the Kingdom of Dylan Sangers and the Archbishop of the Dawn Church in the Kingdom of Dylan have experienced a fierce battle in the royal city of the Kingdom of Dylan...... All together"!
"What...... This...... Is this true?"
"How is it possible, if we all die together, wouldn't it mean that Caspaci also died in the corner city!"
"It's over, the kingdom of Dylan is over...... A master bishop died here...... The Church of Dawn will not rest on its laurels............"
"What can I do about this, the Glory Army has been defeated and retreated............"
"Don't panic, now Princess Trelinka is the only orthodox royal family, as long as we announce our surrender, the Dawn Church belongs to the good camp after all, and they must let us go"!
Upon hearing Dolan's news, the quiet chamber immediately exploded, and the elders immediately began to argue about various solutions, but most of them were inclined to convince Princess Trelinka to surrender to the Church of Dawn.
"Quiet"!!
Seeing that the scene was extremely chaotic for a while, the worried Dolan shouted, and his hoarse voice made a sound that made the candles flicker at this time.
Hearing the patriarch's shouting, the elders suddenly remembered what Dolan had just said that he had received bad news...... Two.
Thinking of this, even the elders with the loudest voices looked at the other piece of parchment in Dolan's hand with a frightened mask, knowing that the death of Casperchi and Archmage Sanger was bad enough bad news, how bad would the news that could be compared to such bad news be?
Dolan, who was watched by a dozen pairs of astonished eyes, almost trembled as he picked up another piece of parchment, and he had to tell the elders that there was no worst news, only worse news:
According to the report of the scout team that tracked the Nightkin a day earlier............ They didn't find the whereabouts of the Night Stalker, but found the ............ on the official road of the Kingdom of Dylan."
Reading this, Dolan's always sonorous and powerful words actually trembled involuntarily.
“...... Found ...... Emissary of the Kingdom of Camos - the corpse of Kulen"!
“............”
There was a breathless silence in the conference room......
Dolan slowly put down the parchment in his hand, and he took out a small bottle of medicine from his pocket and drank it to stop his rapidly increasing blood pressure.
After hearing the news, the elders stopped talking one by one, and many of them took out potions to drink to prevent themselves from fainting.
This approach of the elders of the Green Vine Family was not an exaggeration at all, because the second news announced by Dolan was too terrifying, terrifying to the point of despair.
Everyone knows that as early as when Princess Trelinka launched an uprising, the Kingdom of Camos had already wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Kingdom of Dylan to attack on a large scale, but after all, they were nameless, and if they attacked for no reason, it would be finished if they were called "evil".
Being labeled as evil in the Faeron plane will attract the blows of the Church of Good God and good adventurers, and it is precisely because she sees that it is impossible for the Carmos Kingdom to become nameless, Princess Trelinka will launch an uprising when the Carmos Kingdom is eyeing her.
But now the envoy of the Camos Kingdom died on the territory of the Dylan Kingdom, and he died in less than a day after meeting Trelinka, and it happened that he had just angered Princess Trelinka before leaving, and theoretically, the only envoy in the entire vicinity of Green Vine City who could pose a threat to the envoy led by a formal-level warrior was the official-level powerhouse of Greenvine City, and the wound on Cullen's body happened to be a physical injury.
Now, so many "just happen" points to Green Vine City and Princess Thererinka, but the kingdom of Dylan says that Cullen was killed by a thug passing by...... Don't mention the prophecy spell, there are ways to interfere with the prophecy spell, especially when the Dylan Kingdom's protector master powerhouse is still a spellcaster.
All in all, the Kingdom of Camos wants to go to war, and their envoy is likely to be assassinated by the Kingdom of Dylan, and the envoy who was killed is still the heir of the noble marquis, and now the Kingdom of Camos has declared war on the Kingdom of Dylan in the name of "dignity is trampled on and must fight for dignity", even the church of the god of justice Haim will not interfere, and the Church of Dawn, which is ostensibly in the name of "never interfering in internal affairs", can only choose to wait and see.
And Green Vine City is located on the border of the Kingdom of Dylan and the Kingdom of Camos, Princess Trelinka is still in the city, and the burning war will definitely be the first to scorch this city, and the Green Vine family has no way to retreat.
If Green Vine City relied on the support of the kingdom before the civil strife in the Kingdom of Dylan, it may not have the strength to fight, but now...... It would be good that the kingdom that had been reduced to the puppet of the Dawn Church would not send chasing troops to fall into the ground, and it would be impossible for the devastated Glory Army to resist the main force of the Camos Kingdom that had been recuperating for a long time.
The elders in the secret room of the Green Vine Family took a person who was not a political person, and it didn't take a few minutes for everyone to figure out what was at stake, but it was precisely because they understood it that everyone couldn't help but fall silent.
They............ I didn't know what to do, and I couldn't think of how to save the green vine family that was about to overturn.
