After the disappearance of the Crimson Sword, the Bretton family gradually fell into the control of the church, a group of old people who were loyal to Karoff were cleaned up, and several hard bones in the family were also uprooted one by one, although Lolo is the nominal head of the family, but in fact it has been hollowed out, and now the control of the Bretton family falls into the hands of her cousin Ansai, and the latter is the first group of people in the family to take refuge in the temple, after Ansai took power, according to the requirements of the church, actively installed people to monitor Lolo, and then arranged the world-renowned marriage, although Lolo still lives in his castle before escaping, but in fact has lost his freedom。

So she didn't have much nostalgia for the place she once called home, but when she heard that the North was about to be threatened, she hesitated to make her choice.

"I don't care if my cousins live or die, but I can't turn a blind eye to the ordinary people who live in the territory, who have lived there for generations, serving my family, paying taxes, and taking up arms to defend the North with us when needed, I am the head of the Bretton family, and I have a duty to protect them as long as I live." ”

Rob was not surprised by this answer, with Lolo's personality and sense of justice, it would be strange if she really ignored it, so the future Celestial Magister had been thinking about how to solve the crisis faced by the Bretton family this time a long time ago.

"Old rules, let's talk about the bad news first, there are a lot of monsters, it is said that there are more than 30,000 when they left the Malkan Desert, and they have been abiding by some kind of restraint along the way, and have not attacked humans, which is also the reason why the church and the Wizards Association have not moved, but only hunting animals along the way is obviously not enough to supplement their consumption, so they are still killing each other, and it is expected that there will only be less than one-eighth of the number left when they finally arrive in the north, but the four thousand monsters that survive will be the elite of the elite, by the way, how many defenders are there in the cities in the north？”

"I don't know much about the situation now, but when I left, there were about 7,000 garrisons in the six cities, and there were 2,000 on the side of the family castle, and 20,000 with the addition of the garrison and the militia. ”

Rob shook his head, "The number is still too small, the squads and militia of the garrison are useless in the face of those monsters, ordinary guards...... Even against those weak crocodiles, the casualties would be heavy, and this time the Holy Alliance made it clear that it would not send troops. ”

"What about the local adventurers? There are still a lot of adventurers in the north, if we can unite them......"

"Mercenaries only recognize money, they will not help defend the town without benefits, and if my guess is correct, a few days before the monster arrives, the Magicians Association will issue an emergency retreat order to all magicians in the North, and use the Association's teleportation array to quickly teleport the magicians out of the North, plus the church is also standing by, without the support of the legal professions, the mercenaries' combat enthusiasm will be greatly reduced, and the risk will be multiplied, and it is unrealistic to expect them to stay and defend it. ”

Luo Luo's heart sank, she knew that the situation was critical, but she didn't expect it to be so critical, in this way, the current situation in the north is simply lifeless, the people who live there don't know that the catastrophe is coming, and the people who know all this, such as the temple and the magician guild, have chosen to remain silent.

"Let's talk about the good news after the bad news. Rob Evangelism.

"And good news?" Lolo raised an eyebrow.

"Of course. His Excellency the future Ultra Magister nodded, "We are now on the joint wanted list of the Temple and the Wizards Association, and the rank is probably still the highest, so no matter where you go, you must be careful to avoid the local eyeliner, but in the North, you don't need to worry about this problem." Rob paused, then continued, "From the withdrawal of the Wizards Guild to the appearance of those monsters, if you are lucky, there will be two to three days in between, during this time, whether it is the temple, the Wizards Guild or the power of the Wizards Guild in the North will become weaker than ever, if we want to do anything, this is the best chance, but before that, we need to find a spokesperson first." ”

"Spokesperson?"

"Yes, if you want to deal with those monsters, you must twist the power of the entire northern realm together, which requires a person of sufficient weight to come forward, you are the head of the Bretton family, and it stands to reason that you should be the most suitable person, but we are sensitive now, and we can't appear in front of the stage, so we must find a spokesperson. ”

............

Ang Saiping withdrew from all the servants around him, sat alone in the study, poured half a glass of wine for himself, and quietly looked at the oil painting on the wall.

This painting was given to the eighth head of the Bretton family by the Emperor of the Violet Empire, and it depicts two armies at war, one of which is a knight on a white horse holding an elven sword, killing into the enemy formation, like Shura, and the corpses are strewn all over the field, while the enemy general is fleeing from the wind.

The White Horse Knight is the eighth family of the Bretton family, Fer Roger himself, this painting records the famous Battle of Gray Gorge Pass in history, the Violet Empire with less than a tenth of the strength of the Orcs Second, Fourth and Sixth Combined Corps, in the case of no one is optimistic, but finally achieved a miraculous victory, as the commander of Fer Roger became famous in a battle, so the first painter of the court at that time specially made this famous painting for him.

Now Angsai looks at the painting and doesn't know what he's thinking.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the visitor did not knock on the door, but directly pushed the door open and walked in, it was a young paladin, and his tone was a little impatient, "What are you doing, don't you hurry up and prepare, we are going to leave in the evening." ”

Ang Sai tried to squeeze out a smile, although the other party was only his guard in name, but Ang Sai didn't dare to treat him in the same way as a guard, because the paladin in front of him would regularly report his performance to the church, although he was now the de facto ruler of the Breton family, but as long as the other party said a word, he might lose everything, this feeling was not pleasant.

Angsai said cautiously, "Lord Bell, how is the matter that I asked you to ask before?"

The paladin named Bell snorted, "Originally, the church only gave twenty evacuation places this time, but I helped you get three more, go and pick people, those monsters will almost reach the north." ”

Ang Sai was stunned, "But...... There are more than 400 of us. ”

The Bretton family is the largest family in the north, although there are not many members of the main line, but there are many people in the branch, living in various parts of the north, the temple killed basically the main line and Karoff close people, although Ang Sai took charge of the family Although he obeyed the words of the temple, but he was not bad to his own people, and also took a part of the side line to live in the castle, and now there are more than 100 clansmen in the castle alone.

As a result, only twenty-three places were given to the retreat temple.
