Chapter 252: The Time of War
"Phantom Kamikaze?" Although he didn't know what it was, Stannis felt that it sounded very powerful, "Just hearing the name is so cool, it must be very powerful! What is such a powerful artifact?"
"A cloak. ”
"......" Stannis said he would no longer believe the Title Party.
However, because the other two artifacts were too powerful, although the remaining one was just a common object, Stannis was still very excited about its power, "So what are its characteristics?"
Speaking of this artifact, Lady Lomon's face glowed with a slight look, "Unlike the Sage's Staff and the source of magical power, the Phantom Kamikaze is not a creation through human hands, but the bathrobe worn by the Phantom Empress when she bathes in the stars, so the cloak that absorbs the powerful mana on her skin can transform into all things, and even transform all things, especially in the hands of Cortana, who specializes in illusion, it is enough to create all the impossible, you can never guess what form it appears!"
Stannis quickly interrupted him, "Wait, wait, let me guess, it can't be the veil on your granddaughter's head, right?"
Master Romon was silent for a moment, then continued as if he hadn't heard, "You can't imagine its magic, it's the Phantom Kamikaze, a great creation that can create infinite possibilities with illusion magic!"
Then he added in a whisper, "Yes, it's the ...... of the shawl."
After listening to him with white eyes, Stannis thought of another important question, he was now very talented in reasoning, such as guessing who the old man's 'Cortana' was.
"I guess the name of the woman who was a classmate of you and Vincent should be Dina, and the same name as your granddaughter, in honor of the turmoil in your heart that you will never get......"
Lady Romon gave him a strange look, "Her name is Dinah, and she is also my wife, why can't I get her......"
Stannis, who was full of confidence and thought that the old man Romon had fought all his life for the sake of the goddess, did not expect that the woman would have such a relationship with him, which was really a big failure of reasoning!
"How could she be your wife, shouldn't she be dead?" Stannis shouted unwillingly, how could he look at the more handsome one named Vincent, and the big wine nose on Lady Lomon's face would give him a lot of points, how could the woman named Dinah choose him?
"We got married when we were very young, that's why I named Dinah in honor of her grandmother, or where do you think my son and granddaughter came from?"
"I thought your son was adopted...... Stannis quickly shook his head away from the subject, "then what happened between you, why did your wife die so early, and Vincent insisted on revenge like an abyss master!"
Maester Romon lowered his head and began to write letters, as if he did not want to continue the subject.
Stannis also kept his mouth shut in amusement, it seemed that the story was not so easy to get, maybe the black mage could tell the story.
"By the way, let me write a letter to someone important, too. Stannis opened his hand as if asking the old man for a quill.
Half an hour later, Stannis watched as Maester Romon released the raven carrying the letter, which he had written to Charaki, at first he tried to compliment the Major of the Imperial Army on his beauty and her amazing intelligence, then explained to her that he was now under siege by monsters and asked for reinforcements to be sent immediately, and finally hinted that if he hung up this time, he would definitely dig out the secret of the Empire's desire to overthrow Duke Garcia.
He believed that as soon as the letter was released, even the stupid girl of Charaki would definitely bring someone over to support him immediately.
As for one of his other cards, the lords who had forged a life-and-death relationship in the White Expedition, Stannis felt that it was not yet time for Stud.
"Your Excellency, would you like to send another letter to His Royal Highness the Duke, to report to him the situation here, and to ask for reinforcements?" asked Romon earnestly.
"Yes, of course! How can such an important matter not be reported to the respected Garcia?"
After receiving the mobilization order from Count Stennis himself, the last group of young adults were also conscripted into the army to begin training, and the first army of Stennis had reached 500 people, and finally was able to form a Rhodoc-style army according to the 'setting book', many people were anxious to finish this battle and come back to open up the wasteland and farm before the beginning of spring next year, but only a few people knew that if this battle was lost, only the dead would be able to farm in the future.
The blacksmiths in the realm began to craft weapons twenty-four hours a day, and Stannis cried and begged from the Bafolou family for the last batch of iron ore mined before the heavy snow closed the mountain, and gave them to the Doug family to build armor, which was enough to block a blow against the sickle monster even a thin layer of breastplate. This greatly increases the survival rate.
Although most of the merchants in the market had already returned home for the New Year, Albert was left behind as a Lanana merchant who was not a festival in the Western Continent, and Stanis took all his belongings and asked him to collect grain and grass in other territories, and Stanis estimated that the scale of the army would consume an astronomical amount of food.
The men of the realm were all fighting in battle, and the women were not idle, and under Lucia's organization, each family contributed sheets and discarded clothes to make tents.
The men and women of Zivigny were busy with the business at hand, and even Robert, who had always been idle, began to teach people how to wield a sword, and Stannis couldn't help but clench his fists as he watched the busy scene.
He silently asked himself, how many people would he be able to lead back after this war?
At this moment, a man gently patted himself on the shoulder, and he turned around to find that it was Aya.
"As I said, women can't go into battle, even if you're an illusionist. Stannis knew what she was going to say, so he blocked what she wanted to say in advance.
But the woman shook her head, indicating that she was not here for the matter.
"Remember when I told you that I had been hunting down the murderer who destroyed my family that night?"
Stannis, who was fainting in a hurry, didn't know why she was mentioning this at this time?
However, he still patiently asked, "What's wrong?"
"The smiling man who left a scar behind his ear and commanded the extermination...... I've found his trace, in a small town in the south that no one knows. Although Aya was still calm on the surface, the earrings had begun to tremble slightly, indicating that her heart was excited.
