Chapter 92: Diffuse Breath
At some point, the oracle was gone.
The white-haired and white-bearded General Ram strode over, and he opened his arms: "Child, your peace is better than everything!"
"I'm back, Godfather!" she said with a gentle expression, and opened her arms to the old general, who was also a mentor and father.
Giving his disciple and daughter a hug, the old general pityingly ** her long hair, which was softer than the Golden Fleece, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were full of love: "Can you tell me what happened? ”
"I was pulled by the cursed sword of the orc god into a bloody gladiatorial battle in which only ten survived out of a hundred strong men of all races. Then with the blessing of God Tosigmar, I was lucky to meet Martin Lorraine of Bakaria and form a temporary alliance, and finally the two of them became the champions of this bloody competition together......" Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly: "I owe Martin two favors, one is life, the other is the champion, Martin gave me the championship." ”
In just a few words, he expressed infinite sadness.
General Ram couldn't imagine what kind of painful circumstances she was, in the midst of the encirclement and suppression full of orcs, she narrowly escaped and finally won the championship.
She said lightly, but how many struggles and difficulties were contained in it, and I can't tell enough in a thousand words.
"Thanks, my child......" The old general gave her a hard hug again: "Martin Lorraine...... I heard that the old Duke of Lorraine is ...... Hey, what an adventure! Maybe ......."
The blonde girl let go of her arm and showed a slightly embarrassed expression: "Godfather, don't think too much. While it is true that we have been friends for the rest of our lives, the Rick Empire has eroded like this. We can't care about foreign countries!"
Ram sighed too.
Rick, the vast empire that has stood on the continent of Kaos for thousands of years, is now at its weakest point in time.
Because of the legitimacy of the throne, the three most powerful electors rebelled. Beacons and rebel flags spread across half the empire.
However, as an empire standing in the middle of the continent, the Rick Empire can be described as enemy on all sides:
Across the sea to the north are the Northland barbarians who worship the god of chaos.
To the northeast is the stronghold of Chaos, the Land of Chaos.
Bordering the vampire kingdoms to the east and southeast, the hated undead have always been the great enemies of the living.
To the south, southwest, and west, it is surrounded by the eight peaks of Callas. As we all know, the orcs and dwarves have been fighting for the eight peaks for two thousand years, if the dwarves have the upper hand, they may be able to get along, once the orcs occupy the eight peaks of Kalas, then the border provinces of the empire in the plains will be worried all day long.
The really safer ones are the west and northwest. The Sharp Axe Peak of the Eight Peaks due west has been attacked by orcs once in a thousand years, and it is relatively stable among the Eight Peaks.
And to the northwest is Bakaria. They are both human countries, even if they have various differences in the concept of the way to build a country, but they seek common ground while reserving differences, and they are relatively friendly with each other.
Such a harsh living environment has led to the Rick Empire becoming stronger, but once there is any problem in the center of the empire, the dukes of the frontier provinces will not be able to do it even if they have the heart to help.
Now, for example, the rebellion has spread to the five most central provinces. Rao is almost all the border dukes are harshly scolding the mutineers, refusing to recognize their legitimacy.
So what?
Once the Frontier Duke's forces are withdrawn, it will be the entire human defense line that will collapse, and the entire empire will be destroyed. This is not alarmist, for example, all the humans in the Rick Empire have become skeletons or zombies, and the tide of corpses that have been piled up, Rao is Bakaria will also be followed to death.
When the two great human kingdoms are destroyed, mankind is finished.
It was precisely because of this that the mutineers decisively raised the flag of rebellion.
In fact, the rebels were about to win, not because of the strength of the troops, but because of ......
At this moment, in the palace of the capital of Bakaria, King Keane was furious: "What are you doing!? If it was an assassination for humans! They can assassinate our young knight today, assassinate the duke's son, can they stab the dagger into my prince's neck tomorrow!?"
The messenger who had taken Martin, the knights and the horsemen, were all thrown into prison by the angry king.
They were not mistreated, but countless people prayed for Martin's well-being.
However, the development of events has put the hearts of these people and their relatives and friends hanging in their throats.
"The missing eldest son of the Count of Fashut was suddenly found, he appeared in the town hall out of thin air, and died a terrible death. ”
"Viscount Kakaro appeared, also dead, at the hands of the orcs. His body was wrapped in a cloud of red light, and suddenly appeared from where it had disappeared. ”
The news was almost immediately sent to the royal capital.
This time, there are a total of 7 good seedlings in Bakaria who disappeared or fainted at the same time as Martin Lorraine. All of them are well-known and are known as outstanding young people who have the opportunity to become champion knights in a city or even an entire province.
The reason for the move is much the same, either being stabbed with a cursed weapon or poisoned. Then, using this as an introduction, the whole person who was directly stabbed by the cursed weapon disappeared along with the weapons and equipment on his body, and the poisoned one was in a state of half-dead and soulless.
In the past ten days, bad news has come one after another.
All that suddenly returned to the place of disappearance were corpses.
Those who are poisoned and unconscious have inexplicably fatal scars on their bodies in full view of everyone, and then die.
Originally, there were seven, plus one Garr who later volunteered to go, a total of 8 people, but now 6 have died.
This undoubtedly deepened the anxiety and despair of the people, and the whole kingdom was filled with a sense of panic.
The river beach camp where Martin disappeared has now become a very exaggerated barracks. Under King Keane's strict orders, not only was there a knight order stationed next to Lorraine Castle, but now another knight of the Golden Eagle was also transferred here.
Thick dark clouds were gathering in the sky.
There was an oppressive atmosphere in the barracks.
Where Martin had disappeared, there were a dozen full-fledged knights staring.
Originally, Martin's assassination was pulled away, but at most it was just a provincial problem. Rao is King Keane, no matter how much he loves talent, no matter how much he takes into account the feelings of the knights of the Lorraine family, it is impossible for him to fight such a big battle.
Sigmar's oracle showed up that day and recruited Gal to make the whole thing go bad.
When it comes to the human gods, the state of affairs naturally rises to the level of the entire human race.
You can't be too careful.
"Why hasn't the young master come back yet? It's been seven days, didn't you say you'd give me the title of knight? Don't die over there! or I'll curse you for the rest of my life!" Sylvie muttered to herself, the heroic female knight, staring at the deep dark circles under her eyes. Worry and pain tortured her to the point that she was almost out of shape.
Suddenly, in the position guarded by the knights, the light surged!
