Arnold and Louis, after being slightly surprised, calmed down and waited for each other's words. Especially after Arnold threw out such a message just now, everyone in the church was very concerned about Northway.

The Duke of Æthelwolff noticed the eyes of the others, and he frowned, but did not interrupt his rhythm.

"Duke Louis, Duke Arnold, first of all, I would like to inform you of a piece of news that is the foundation of our alliance and the reason why we in Norsway propose this alliance. ”

"A very threatening thing from the sea, isn't it?" said Louis lukewarmly, he saw that the Duke of Æthelwolf did not have respect for his elders, and that he had not recovered from the bad mood of Arnold just now.

The Duke of Æthelwolf glanced at Louis in surprise, but did not mind the interruption.

"Looks like you already know. The Duke of Æthelwolf turned his head to look at Arnold again, wondering how far the two neighbors had infiltrated his own intelligence.

"That's what Cousin Arnold told me. The corners of Louie's mouth curled, and he looked at Arnold with a little bad in his eyes.

"Oh, is it?" Duke Æthelwolf looked at Arnold, his sword eyebrows slightly raised, "Duke Arnold, it may be a bit rude to ask such a question, but I am still curious, how did you learn about this?"

"It's my sister......" Arnold lowered his face so that it was impossible to read his expression, "My sister Serena, a mage of great talent, was the one who predicted this. ”

"Prophecy?"

The Duke of Æthelwolf looked at Arnold with some surprise and confusion, he did not believe in the possibility of prophecy, because he was able to learn the news thanks to the prophecy of the court mage of Vodahara, the White Land Serpent. What puzzled the Duke of Æthelwolf was whether Arnold's sister could have the ability to prophesy like this?

The suspicion lasted only a few seconds, and the Duke of Æthelwolf put them aside, and now was not the time to think about them.

"Now that you know the news, it's easy to do. According to our intelligence, this evil that appeared on the sea is a newborn demon. ”

"Are you sure it's a demon?" Arnold asked, though his tone was not very casual and seemed to be a casual question, but in his heart he was very concerned, after all, Ashtar had told him that the evil was something that did not belong to the lower realm.

"Judging by the evil aura of that thing, yes. Duke Æthelwolf nodded, a slight solemn look on his face, "After divining that thing, I sent a fleet close to the prophesied location, including a top-of-the-line magic warship built by an arcane craftsman, however, after a month and a half, that fleet did not return, only the wreckage was found offshore. ”

Hearing the words of the Duke of Æthelwolf, Arnold and Louis's expressions also became a little solemn. They all know the strength of the Arcane Craftsmen of Vodahara, and even the top-level magic warships have been wiped out so easily, so it seems that this information should be true.

"Is there anything more definite besides this information?" asked Titus, as a warrior, he was naturally more sensitive and interested in the things of combat.

"No, but ......" Duke Æthelwolf looked at Titus and then at Arnold, as if wondering why the person brought in by Cold Mountain was not John Fonnar, "As you know, there are a large number of followers of the Storm Lord Tulos in the Eastern Territory because of the coast, and according to some folk news, the priest who came in Tulos seems to have decreased his magical power, and I guess this is because the power of Tulos himself has been depleted. Tullos, the Lord of the Storm, has always regarded the sea as his sphere of influence, and since this demon is from the sea, it is likely that he will come into conflict with Tulos. ”

Arnold nodded silently, which was exactly the same as Serena's judgment.

"So, can you know the winner or lose?" asked Archbishop Benedict with a frown, Tulos was excluded from the official faith of the Empire because he was a chaotic and neutral god, but the belief in the Lord of the Storm has always been deep-rooted in the coastal area, and the Archchurch of Iron Turin is beyond the reach of a remote place like the Eastern Territory, so Archbishop Benedict here can only turn a blind eye.

"I don't know. Duke Æthelwolf shook his head, "The war between gods and demons is too far away for us mortals, and all we can do is protect our people." ”

"Hmm...... Regardless of victory or defeat, this demon was able to compete with Tulos and damage his power, and it was clear that the power of this demon should not be underestimated. However, since Tulos has fought with him and is still suffering losses, the condition of this demon should not be too good. As a newborn powerful demon, he can't be stronger than the Lord of Storms, right?"

Louis said while shaking the folding fan, although he was a little childish when he was angry with Arnold before, his analytical skills are indeed very good, and he often has a very clear judgment of the situation.

"Even so, the power of that demon is not something that mortals can contend with. Arnold looked at the Duke of Æthelwolf, and the afterglow noticed the heavily armed knight behind him, "Can you determine his route?"

"The city of Vodahara is bearing the brunt. Speaking of Vodahara, Duke Æthelwlf did not have the slightest worry, but looked confident, "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that the Lengshan Collar and the Snoron Collar can lend us the strength of Northway, and we will gather the main army from the three sides, and set up a position in Vodahara, with the defensive strength of Vodahara, it is enough for us to fight with the gods and demons, I believe that even if it is a demon lord who comes, he will definitely return in front of the iron wall of Vodahara!"

Arnold and Louis had no doubt about Duke Æthelwolf's self-confidence, after all, the city of Vodahra had first blocked the Empire's three wars of conquest of Ascar, and then repelled countless attacks of the Askar League under the control of Northway, and the only one in the world who had broken through this solid fortress was the legendary Duke of Erren.

It can even be said that if the city of Vodahara, if the city of Vodahara, can not stop this demon, then there is no mortal power that can stop him.

"I contacted the church. Archbishop Benedict nodded, "Although it is unlikely that reinforcements from the Archchurch of Teturin can be counted on, it is our duty to do my best to gather the clergy in the eastern region to resist evil and protect the people." ”

"That's a lot of gratitude. Hearing Archbishop Benedict's words, Duke Æthelwolf was visibly relieved, and he even bent down slightly and bowed halfway to the archbishop.

Arnold looked at Archbishop Benedict, who had said this before Louis spoke, apparently not representing the position of the Snowlen Lord, but, as he had said, the Archbishop's position alone as a witness to the Alliance.

Although this witness was somewhat biased in favor of Tamska, Archbishop Benedict answered decisively before such a big question of right and wrong.

"Tamska is willing to assist Northville. After Archbishop Benedict spoke, Louis also said that there was nothing to consider, Archbishop Benedict could almost be regarded as Louis's teacher, and he actually had no other choice on such a question.

Although there would be a feeling that Archbishop Benedict forced Louis to make such a statement.

The same is true of Figraf. Arnold was quick to say the same, "However, Your Excellency Duke Æthelwolf, we in Feglaf are more than willing to assist you in your fight against evil, but since it is to defend the people, then there is no need for any alliance, and in the face of evil, all human beings are allies. ”

The Duke of Æthelwolf glanced at Arnold in surprise, he didn't believe that Arnold didn't understand the reason for his proposed alliance, but if the other party knew his purpose and said so, then the other party's idea was quite worth considering.

"Indeed, in the face of such a threat, we do not need to form an alliance at all. However, the current threat to the empire is far more than this, and the threat of the northern whitelands is also quite worrying. Perhaps we will have to take some positions on the issue of dealing with the white people, right? Therefore, I would like to take the opportunity of this cooperation to bring the three parties closer together in order to deal with future crises. ”

"Do you need to be close enough to marry each other?" Arnold's eyes sank, and he wouldn't have much humility to his elders on this issue.

"Marriage is the norm for the nobility, isn't it?" said the Duke of Æthelwolf, laughing, like an ordinary old man looking kindly at his junior, "or does Duke Arnold dislike the girls of Northway?"

Arnold remained silent, and although he did not intend to retreat on the Duke of Æthelwolf, he did not want to provoke the Northville family with such words.

"Your Excellency the Three Dukes. Archbishop Benedict suddenly spoke, "Now it seems that the most important issue of this alliance is to solve the problem of demons from the sea, and everyone should have no objection to this. And the matter of the alliance is nothing more than secondary. In that case, why don't you settle the matter of the demon first and then discuss the matter of the alliance later?"

Arnold and the Duke of Æthelwolf both looked at Archbishop Benedict, and his proposal was so reasonable and fair that no one could tell if it had come or not.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop is right. "Duke Æthelwolf first sold Benedict's face, after all, the other party's words can be regarded as helping them Northway, "How about the alliance matter be discussed tomorrow? Now let's determine the matter of cooperation." ”

Neither Arnold nor Louis disagreed.

In this kind of military affairs, the three dukes needed the advice of some professionals, even the Duke of Æthelwolf, who had been prepared for a long time. The knight standing behind him stepped forward, a muffled sound coming from under the metal mask.

"Norsvi has deployed 100,000 troops in Vodahara, and the Vodahhara City Mage Regiment, the Lion Knights, and the Tuke Bay Naval Fleet have also been assembled and assembled in Vodahara, and the Arcane craftsmen have been crafting magic weapons and armor against demons day and night, and we have been preparing for this war for more than half a year, and all the armaments and materials are sufficient. ”

When the knight reported the number of "one hundred thousand", the people on both the two sides of Fegraf and Tamska couldn't help but gasp, such a huge number of troops, probably only Northville can be assembled, although this should be the result of Northway's full mobilization, but it is still quite terrifying.

"I can only guarantee ...... for now," Louis muttered for a moment, turning his head to look at the archbishop, "the army of Tamska will not be less than twenty thousand. ”

Of course, 20,000 people could not satisfy Northway, but thinking of the previous promise of Archbishop Benedict, the Duke of Æthelwolf felt that the number was quite acceptable.

Then, all eyes fell on Arnold.
