Chapter 107: We Need to Have a Good Talk
The dinner continued, but as time went on, the atmosphere had become more and more eerie, and the number of guards at the gate had increased.
Princess Promea looked at someone with a hint of sympathy, and she walked to Dadarion's side before one dance was finished and the next was played, and said in a low voice, "Wait for my father to do it, you can take me hostage and break out of here." β
The president of the Magicians Association was already full at this time, and he was looking at the thigh on the dance floor with a toothpick in his mouth, and he raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said lazily, "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere tonight." β
Promia was furious, when did this bastard still play a tantrum, it didn't matter if he died, but his current identity is the president of the Wizards Association, killing him at this time is likely to lead to a full-scale war between humans and elves, as a princess, Promia doesn't want to see this happen.
But D'Ardarion seemed to have made up his mind, and when he saw that the guards outside were about to move, he still didn't react.
Promia wanted to persuade again, but at this time, a handsome male elf walked over to her, the other party bowed, and said softly, "Princess Promea, can you enjoy your face and dance?"
Promea turned her head to look at the man in the main seat, who nodded at him, she knew that this was her father's order, and that Dolores had guessed what she wanted to do, so she quietly walked away from D'Artagion.
What's even more hateful is that the latter actually raised the champagne in his hand and said to her, "Have fun." β
At this time, the banquet was already a bit of a dagger, and all the guests were consciously or unintentionally staying away from D'Ardarion, although the bet was proposed by the president of the Magician Association himself, but no one believed that he would really be tied up at that time, so when he started, he had to avoid being affected as much as possible, and someone at this moment was like a plague.
And the only one who was not affected was Vannal V, who was also a guest tonight, and when everyone avoided D'Addarion intentionally or unintentionally, the old man walked up to the other and said, "President D'Addarion is really bold. β
"Where, I think you are really brave, you haven't escaped yet, if the human race completes the unification tonight, it will be impossible for the elves to protect you. β
"It seems that you really have faith in Lehart VII and his army of 170,000. β
The president of the Wizards' Guild shook his head, "I don't have faith in Lehart VII, but in the people of that land, does the church really think that by making up a few clumsy lies, you can cover up all the truth?"
"That's why I'm not bullish on Ellwood. Vanal V unexpectedly agreed with D'Artagion's statement, "He is too obsessed with the power in his hands, but he can't see the changes around him clearly, even if he can get through the difficulties this time, sooner or later he will suffer a big loss." β
The old man's gaze fell on someone, and after a pause, he said, "Let's make a deal, no matter what the outcome of tonight is, I can keep you safe and return to the human world, and even help you persuade those elves to accept the alliance with humans." β
"Oh?"
"I don't really care who wins or loses between Elwood and Lehart VII, as you can see, I'm just an ordinary old man who fled to the elven world, I've already lost the battle in Seta City, and since I lost, I'm going to admit defeat, so I only have one request - give me a boat, and promise not to track down my whereabouts from now on. β
"So that you can go out to sea to find Olgaard, and contact those things again? I'm sorry, I refuse. D'Artagion said dryly, without a hint of hesitation.
Vannar V gave him a deep look, and just then a guard walked quickly in front of Dolores, the elven king, with a small note.
The palace fell silent for a moment, and at this time, the news could only come from the Holy Alliance, but because of this, everyone felt even more incomprehensible, in the afternoon it was still calm, the main forces of the two sides did not even meet, Lehart VII and his men were still resting in the Grizzly Bear Forest, and it stands to reason that there should not be any news.
Dolores took the note that had been teleported by the magic array, and unfolded it before his expression changed after just looking at it.
Then he looked up at someone, his gaze was a little complicated, there was vigilance, murderous intent, but more fear, and finally spoke, "President D'Artagion, it seems that we need to have a good talk." β
............
The capture of Santa Massa was only the beginning, and unlike most people think, Lehart VII led all the soldiers out of the Palace of Mercy after solving Elwood's biggest problem, and found an inn outside as a temporary operational command office.
With Arsene Wenger's help, the old lion king miraculously led 100,000 men to miraculously cross the defensive line set up by the temple a hundred miles away, and he didn't know that he had touched the city of St. Marsa. And St. Massasi, The two northern gates have long been controlled by the opposition, and Lehart's men and horses were hardly hindered when they broke through the city, and the defenders in the city obviously did not expect the enemy to suddenly appear, and by the time they reacted, it was too late, and the city was full of firelight and shouts of killing in the middle of the night, and most of the people were as confused as Elwood, and they couldn't figure out where the enemy came from, how many people there were, they picked up their weapons and rushed to fight, and they were quickly dispersed, and Lehart VII did not embarrass these people, and all those who were willing to surrender and surrender their weapons were treated as civiliansγ
However, the real crisis had just begun, and Lehart VII looked at the fish-bellied sky.
There are more than a million believers in the city of Santa Massa, ten times the number of soldiers under his command, and now he seems to be sitting on a dynamite barrel, which is why he must kill Elwood despite Wenger's opposition, once someone uses faith to gather this group, the situation in the city will immediately get out of control, and now that Elwood is dead, will the others still have any thoughts at this time?
In addition to that, there were the 200,000 Temple troops a hundred miles away, what would their commander do when he learned of the fall of Santa Massa?
The reason why Lehart VII kept going all the way, watching the soldiers continue to fall behind and not stop for a moment, is to keep seeds for the human world as much as possible, these seeds refer not only to the troops of the Lionheart Empire, but also to the troops of the Holy Alliance, these soldiers should not be consumed in the civil war, so this battle Lehart VII not only has to win, but also to win at the lowest cost.
And now that he's done his part, it's up to Arsene Wenger to do the rest.
