Chapter 8: The Half-Blood King
The Kingdom of Andris is one of the countries in the Northern Creationist Cult Alliance of the Western Continent, she is located in the border area of the Creator Cult Alliance, and is one of the long fronts between the Creator Cult Alliance and the Brown Empire, which stretches for tens of thousands of miles, almost dividing the entire Western Continent into two.
However, due to the fact that the west of this front is far away from the Holy City, the center of the struggle, this country has not been scorched like the Holy City Kingdom, and the people's livelihood and economy are quite passable. Moreover, since the Governor's Office in the Western Governorship of the Brown Empire on the opposite side was replaced by a famous dove prince as the governor, the country has not had a war for three or four consecutive years, even some small border frictions can be resolved through exchanges and negotiations.
At this time, in the royal palace of Kevin City, the capital of the Kingdom of Andris, there were old and young people sitting in a gazebo talking and laughing. Around them is a very delicate Cyris-style courtyard, with eaves and arches, pavilions and pavilions, rockery and flowing water, although the courtyard is not large, but it seems to condense the beautiful green mountains and green waters in it, which is extraordinarily elegant.
"Carl Douglas, Dong Yanzhou, the Templars and the Green Forest Bandits, although they are not the strongest force in their country, they all shed the last drop of blood for the forbidden spell of the city without hesitation, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the loyalty of both sides is admirable!" The old man with his hair in a bun, a long beard, and a white beard sighed sincerely.
"The teacher is right! Those who strive for the benefit of the country should have such a spirit of becoming benevolent if they do not succeed! The young man smiled elegantly and said with deep sympathy. He had long dark red hair and sapphire blue eyes, but his skin was pale blonde like Buchen's.
Shangguan Zhige nodded, "Just like the new army under the command of the king." ”
The red-haired young man smiled modestly and said, "The teacher praised it falsely, the lone army has not really been on the battlefield yet, and it is impossible to do it by training alone." ”
Shangguan Zhige nodded and smiled with satisfaction, although this disciple of his was the lord of a country, and he could also be called an ancient wizard in terms of the art of war, he had completely surpassed him, but he still maintained a modest and cautious attitude, and was not proud and complacent, which made him feel quite proud.
"Speaking of that forbidden spell battle...... It seems that there is a teenager who is also involved in the rumors? The red-haired young man picked up the white porcelain wine glass, took a shallow sip, and asked casually.
"Yes." Shangguan Zhige confirmed, "This person is the same as the king, they are all mixed-race. It's just that for some reason, he joined the elf side. "He's in charge of the intelligence agency for his disciples, so he knows a little bit more.
When the Templars were defeated for the first time, Douglas fell into a coma, and Anderson led the remnants of his army to retreat to the Holy City, he once sent a Templar to the Holy See for help, so the existence of the Templars was also known to the world.
Hearing this, the red-haired young man's face showed an interested look, "It's a half-race like Lone?" ”
Shangguan Zhige nodded, "White hair and silver eyes, skin like light gold, based on the old man's inference, this son should be the remnant of the family in the world." ”
"Legend has it that he killed a small squad of Templars as a normal person, and then teamed up with two elven women to defeat and inflict heavy damage on Douglas, but I don't know what happened?"
Shangguan Zhige shook his head and frowned: "It's strange to say, since then, this son and those two elves and demon girls have not been heard from at all. ”
"Really?" The red-haired young man sighed regretfully, "It would be a pity for such a brave boy to die in that forbidden spell battle!" ”
Shangguan Zhige shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that in addition to cherishing talents, the words of his proud disciple just now were actually more sympathetic to those who were also half-bloods.
However, for a half-breed child who had been lonely since childhood, grew up in the Celestial Empire, and spent the first sixteen years of his life under the strange eyes of others, it was not surprising that this proud disciple of his had such thoughts, and it could even be said to be completely normal.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
At this moment, a soldier ran into the courtyard in a panic.
"Wang ...... Your Majesty, the generals of the Holy See have entered the city and are now in secret with Archbishop Maurice in the Cathedral of St. Maiana! ”
"Really?" The red-haired youth smiled faintly, drank the remnants of wine in his cup, and stood up suddenly.
"Let's go, teacher! Go and fulfill our destiny! ”
Shangguan Zhige also stood up, but he was not as decisive as his own disciple, but persuaded with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, there is no turning back when you open the bow, if you take this step, we will not be able to turn back!" ”
"Teacher!" The red-haired young man called out a little helplessly, "Who used to say something in front of me all day long: In life, instead of being mediocre for decades, it is better to fight vigorously?" Now that you're ready to go, are you going to retreat? ”
"This ......" Shangguan Zhige's old face suddenly turned a little red.
"For thousands of years, how many innocent people died in the senseless wars of religion? And how many valiant soldiers have given their lives for the sake of that empty doctrine? It's time to put an end to this! With our hands! The red-haired youth, the sixty-third king of the Andris Kingdom: Charlie Andris said impassionedly. (In the Western Continent, it is enough to judge whether a royal family is the oldest, just by looking at their surname.) If they share the same surname as the country, it means that they are indeed the oldest family. If not, it is a new royal family that has taken its place in a certain historical period. Broken Army Press)
"However, once we launch, we are afraid that we will fall into a situation where we are surrounded by enemies on all sides."
"Haha!" Charlie laughed, "Teacher, have you forgotten?" The South is not our enemy! ”
Shangguan Zhige was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this disciple of his had been in correspondence with the dove prince governor in the south for a long time. Although it is not known what they talked about in the letter, it is certain that the Prince Maggie Mushiramo must have been a friend of his own disciple.
"Then there are enemies from three sides and eight countries!" Shangguan Zhige was still a little hesitant.
"It doesn't matter!" Charlie shook his head, "As long as the new army and the new formation can withstand the test today, what can they do?" ”
Shangguan Zhige lowered his head, he was very confident in his disciple's new army. It's just that, after all, they want to fight against eight countries with the strength of one country!
Moreover, it is not clear whether this country will be completely useful to them as they envision......
"Teacher, you can't do great things by looking ahead and looking backwards!" Charlie Andris stared at his teacher with burning eyes.
"Lone has given you a stage where you can put your life's work to work, and now that everything is ready, aren't you going to make your debut?"
Shangguan Zhige smiled bitterly and said in his heart: I am already an old man in his last years, how can I worry about my life? I'm worried about you! It's good for young people to be full of energy, but they can't be too reckless, otherwise they will suffer a lot.
"Teacher, Lone knows that you have good intentions, but although Lone grew up in Ceris since he was a child, Lone is not from Ceris! No matter what happens to Seris in the future, it has nothing to do with Lone. Lone is a native of the Western Continent, the king of the kingdom of Andris, so he should do something for the people of this country! Charlie said categorically.
Shangguan Zhige knew what his lover was talking about, and he had persuaded the other party to give up the throne of this small country in the Western Continent and return to Sailis to cultivate his glory and accumulate strength. With his eyes, he could naturally see that the current Eighteen Empires of Seris were just a paper tiger with a bright surface, which would break if he poked it. As long as you can seize the opportunity when the future empire collapses, you will not be able to do much, so why take such a big risk by clinging to the throne of this poor and broken small country?
But looking at the unwavering expression on his beloved face, he knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it would be useless. It's just that, no matter what, he will not abandon his beloved disciple!
"That's it!" Shangguan Zhige sighed, "Since you have made up your mind, then I will give up this old life to accompany you as a teacher!" ”
Charlie smiled and stretched out his hand to his teacher: "Teacher, our master and apprentice will definitely be able to do a vigorous career!" ”
Shangguan Zhige shook the hand of his beloved disciple without hesitation, and said freely and frantically: "That's right, let the heroes of the Western Continent see the methods of our Eastern Continent soldiers!" ”
Charlie nodded heavily, and without looking back, he turned and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
At this time, the courtyard had been opened, and a cavalry army with a strict array and brilliant armor was lined up outside.
Charles Andris reached out and took his sword from the adjutant's hand, turned on his horse, and came to the army, and with a loud cry he drew his sword as fast as lightning, pointed it in the direction of St. Maiana's Cathedral, and cried out in a loud voice:
"The enemy is in the Cathedral of St. Maiana! Come with me! ”
With that, he rushed out first.
The cavalry spun the array and rumbled to follow.
