Chapter 678: Concession and Advance
In the eastern part of the Sidon Khanate, a makeshift camp of the Knights of Radiance.
A two-day freezing rain had just stopped, the sky was dark and gloomy, the humid air was bitterly cold, and the paladins and horned wolves were huddled in their captured hides. In the center of the camp, in a small tent that served as a command post, Grand Master Howard was listening to a report from his cousin, Clark Turstere.
"His Highness Randall fought with the centaur Great Khan, although they were far away, several highnesses on the prairie could feel the unique and powerful earth element fluctuations, and then, the wind element sea appeared 'tidal surge', and the sharp and condensed power flashed in the depths of the grassland, and the earth element fluctuations disappeared abruptly, as if they were cut by a sharp sword. ”
There was a hint of envy in Clark's eyes, and he sighed, "There is no doubt that it is a Sanctuary-level power. ”
The corners of Howard's mouth drew a complicated smile, and he shook his head and said, "The top powerhouses of foreign races are always stronger than knights, but their number is not as large as ours...... Hundreds of thousands of centaurs don't have two legends at the same time, and there is only one Sun Elf in the entire elven race...... Cousin Victor is not a knight, and his racial identity is debatable, but he is on our side anyway...... At least until Sylvia was destroyed, he was a human powerhouse in the Sanctuary. ”
The extraordinary power of the non-human intelligent species does not come from the elemental sea, but from its own racial talent. The Centaurs' legendary talents depend on the earth, and their semi-elemental forms and effects are very unique, completely different from the high-ranking knights of humans. Since the Earth Armor of the Centaur does not directly communicate with the Earth Elemental Sea, its elemental fluctuations are relatively subtle and deep, far less intense and distinct than the Void Elemental embodied by the High Knight. The Golden Knight is thousands of kilometers away, and he can sense the elemental fluctuations of the Centaur Great Khan, which shows that the extraordinary power it shows is particularly powerful.
His Highness Victor Win Randall's power fluctuation to extinguish the legendary centaur with one blow must be the Sanctuary.
Clark nodded, and said solemnly: "After the 'tide' of the Wind Elemental Sea, I rushed to the place of the incident, and saw the traces left by the battle between Victor and the centaurs along the way...... Neat and straight cracks appeared on the ground, blades of grass were chopped by the wind blade, and the traces of battle stretched for hundreds of kilometers, just like the scene of a hurricane. ”
"I've also found some places close to the centaur's death, with the centaur's hoof prints in the center, the cracks in the ground are deep in the distance, but not in the near distance, indicating that the earth has been cut open by the Void Wind Elemental and healed at the feet of the legendary centaur. However, the traces of the wind blade sweeping the blades of grass are even more obvious. ”
"This means that Cousin Victor has forced out the potential of the Centaur Great Khan and beheaded him when his power is at its peak!"
Howard was silent for a moment, then sighed: "The combat power of the legendary centaur is not as good as that of the legendary ogre king Vulcan, but Ancestor Ravin had already set foot in the Sanctuary before he killed Vulcan, and Cousin Victor had been promoted to the legendary rank for less than four years...... None of us expected that he would take a different path from Draven's ancestors...... The ancestors have the name of the Sword Master, but they use the arrow of flowing fire as the core combat skill. Cousin Victor uses the sharpness of the Void Wind Elemental to slay the legendary Centaur. His Juggernaut title is well deserved, and he deserves a prefix. ”
Clark laughed, "I'll have to ask for his own opinion first...... Wait until he wakes up. ”
Howard asked in surprise, "What's going on with him now?"
"After he killed the centaur, he fell into hibernation. I personally checked his condition, and there was nothing serious, just the sequelae of energy exhaustion. Clark paused and said in a deep voice: "However, his spirit is curled up and condensed, but his body is steadily absorbing the Void Water Element, and it is not overflowing outward, it is like a deep well, and the Water Element is constantly filling and enterprising. This phenomenon is very much in line with the description of the sleeping ancestors of Ravin in the family literature......"
Howard was stunned and asked, "You mean...... Bloodline transformation, Cousin Victor is going to adult?"
Clark shook his head and said, "It's weird, it's weird...... His hair was still black, and he couldn't see it with his eyes...... In short, not like a full-grown sun elf. Moreover, he is not yet the adult age of the High Elves around 50 years old. ”
Howard frowned and asked, "Where is Cousin Victor now?"
"Countess Andrea Wimbledon was the second high-ranking knight to arrive at the scene, and she proposed to take His Highness Randall to the frontier point near the Wraith Forest of the Kingdom of Dordor there, and then go north to the western part of Sassan, to the territory of the Barcelius family, and ask the high-ranking priest to check his status. I agreed...... We escorted Cousin Victor all the way to the Countess of Wimbleton's castle, and Bishop Figzilin confirmed that his life and health were fine, and I came to you...... It's been twelve days, and I don't know if Cousin Victor has woken up. Clark said.
"...... you. ”
Howard shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How can you leave Cousin Victor in the care of the Barcelius family? He is different from Draven's ancestor, but after all, he is also the blood of the Sun Elves. Orokthea has advanced to a Legendary life form and is able to give birth to an heir. If this battle completely transforms Victor's cousin's bloodline into a sun elf, what do you think Oroxia will do? Even if you let Figzilin take Randall's highness to the cathedral, it would be better than in the Wimbledon family's castle. ”
Clark lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Roland August has fallen. ”
"What?!"
Howard stood up at once and asked eagerly, "Where was Nakhtigar then?"
"Nakhtigarh was at the Whitewater Fortress in the Kingdom of Dordor with our men by his side. I've already confirmed that after Cousin Victor slew the legendary Centaur, Nakhtigar set out for El and did not enter the Wharton Prairie. Roland's fall had nothing to do with him. ”
Clark had already been shocked, raised his head and said calmly: "I have seen the Mithril armor left behind by Roland, her body is completely condensed into elemental ice, which is in line with the characteristics of elemental sea assimilation. It should be a failure to impact the legendary realm, and it failed to resist the invasion of the elemental sea......"
After a slight pause, he added, "At least on the surface. ”
Howard's eyes flickered with a faint blue glow, and he sat down again and asked, "Are you sure she failed to attack the Legendary Realm?"
Clark shook his head slowly, and said with a solemn expression, "I can't be sure." ”
The Silver Knight is not sure, and will only attack the Elemental Sea when he is forced to do so, and will be assimilated by the Elemental Sea uncontrollably. The Golden Knight has established a connection with the origin of the world, and it is extremely rare for him to get out of control. Roland is the youngest Golden Knight of her generation, and she still has plenty of time to think about the legendary realm, and she is more able to control her emotions. Although the Legendary Centaur is powerful, it has no army by its side and poses little threat to the Golden Knight, making it a perfect place to hone his extraordinary skills.
How could Roland fall, and how could Victor let Her Royal Highness the Princess of Gombis fall?
Clark understands this, but he gives an explanation for Roland's failure to storm the legendary realm, without mentioning any doubts. This in itself is an attitude.
Ruling out Nakhtigar's suspicions, Howard thought of Sylvia, who had the motive and the ability to let the young Highness of House Auguste fall into the wild, which looked like an accident.
However, no one can implicate Sylvia, and even the most trusted brother, Howard, refrains from mentioning Sylvia's name to his face. Clark Testier did the same.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw trouble in the depths of each other's eyes, a big, big trouble.
Howard flicked his fingers on his knee a few times and said, "Tell me the details of what you see." ”
Clark nodded, describing what he had seen and heard in detail without any subjective judgment.
After hearing this, Grand Master Testiel asked, "His Highness Randall's equipment has been broken down into elements, and there is one more snow monster cloak that I don't know who put on him?"
Clark said lightly: "Maybe Roland put it on him, before Victor woke up, she was assimilated by the Elemental Sea." ”
Testil showed a stupid look, Sylvia is suspicious, Victor is suspicious, but when it comes to the god knights and sun elves, you can't express your opinions without conclusive evidence, even if the evidence is conclusive, the head and deputy head of the Glorious Knights in a high position can't take a stand in person, and it is the safest thing to arrange for a small person to come forward and spread rumors.
But what's the use of that?
Roland is dead, Goron August alone cannot stand up to the two Guardians of the Kingdom, he does not want to see Cambys divided, and the truth can only be a rumor in front of him. The fall of His Royal Highness Roland August must be counted on the head of the Glorious Knights, who did not listen to the advice and pursued the Centaur Great Khan, but after all, she died in response to the call of the Red Smoke Beacon.
The more troublesome thing is still to come, Sylvia, Victor, and Goron in order to eliminate the influence and divert the attention of the internal lords of Gombis, they must be biting the fall of Roland, inseparable from the Radiant Knights, and introduce the Barcelius family as an Austrian reinforcement. The two highnesses of Barcelius also wanted to borrow from the Southern Kingdom for the throne, and the two sides hit it off.
Involving Sylvia in the battle for the throne of the Sassan Empire, the Knights of Radiance are under more than ordinary pressure, and worst of all, they have little room for manoeuvre.
Testiel was silent for a moment, and then bowed his head and said, "The news of Roland's fall can't be released immediately, and it's the right thing for you to let Andrea pick up Cousin Victor." ”
"What to do next? The Grand Diocese of Cambys, the bishops who can communicate with Sylvia and the Kite Castle, one is Sain and the other is Perro. They were students of Tamor and Clement, respectively. The two pastors were interested in the Inquisition. Clark asked.
Both the Sassan Empire and the Inquisition are important to the Knights of Radiance, and Howard pondered for a long time, but he didn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, and a helpless and sarcastic smile appeared on his face:
Nakhtigar didn't do anything, just shrank back in a gloomy way. I don't dare to fight for the prestige given to him, I just want to avoid suspicion, and we can bargain with him like this? I think Neowest is probably going to have a showdown with him this time. ”
The Knights of Radiance elected Elizabeth Frederick for the throne of Sassan, of course, using the reputation of the First Paladin to block the pressure of the Barcelius family, so that Nakhtigarh could gain the prestige of pursuing the Centaur Great Khan. Nakhtigar avoided Sylvia, and the Knights of Radiance had to go into battle shirtless.
In fact, there is also controversy within the Order as to whether the throne of Sassan should be given to Elizabeth or Siegfried. Testir needed Nakhtigar as a shield, but now it was impossible.
"We can only rely on ourselves. Howard Turstir's eyes were determined, and he stood up and said, "Bring the beast wizard from the camp, and you can accompany me on a trip to meet the consort of the Centaur Great Khan, end this war, and officially declare victory to the kingdoms." ”
Clark's eyes lit up, and he also stood up and asked, "Are you sure that you are going to be promoted to Legendary?" You know, I also have to remind you that it is easier for Paladins to advance to the Golden Rank than ordinary Knights, and it is more dangerous to promote Legends than ordinary Golden Knights. ”
High-level paladins have little true faith in the Lord of Radiance, and the Light Mark and Divine Realm can protect their souls from the erosion of the Elemental Sea, but the Divine Realm is only a fourth-level divine technique after all, and the Golden Paladins go deep into the Elemental Sea and impact the Legendary Realm, and the protective effect of the Divine Realm is minimal. But the Seal of Light still has potential, and it needs to be praised, praised, loved, embraced, and worshiped by the faith, which is equal to the power of faith. The more faith the Light Mark condenses, the stronger the protection of the Paladin. That's why, the Knights of Radiance always go out of their way to fight orc monsters and open up new territories.
Grand Master Testiel said with burning eyes: "The prelude to the counterattack on the Northern Wilderness and the restoration of the human homeland is up to us, and if this doesn't make me a legend, I have nothing to say." Moreover, now that the victory is decided, there are only 300,000 centaurs left, less than half of the warriors, most of them females, and the rest are old and weak...... You can let them go and let them go east to fight to the death with other orcs...... This victory will at least allow the Testil family to give birth to two highnesses, and even if I fall, I don't have to worry about the family's ranking. ”
Clark laughed, "If you don't make up your mind, I'm going to take a risk." ”
Howard also smiled and said, "You and Strange can wait a little longer, and when the Sidon Khanate becomes a pioneer nation, the number of believers will double again." ”
The Grand Master of the Radiant Knights is the one who is expected to be, and the power of faith is the most condensed, and Howard will inevitably take on the responsibility of the family.
Clark nodded, and instead asked, "What are we going to talk about over there with the centaurs?"
Howard said coldly: "Before the first snowflakes land, they have to leave, or they don't have to go." ”
Clark pondered for a moment and said, "This will make a female centaur Great Khan." ”
The ice blue in Grand Master Testiel's eyes slowly flowed, and he replied in a calm tone:
"No way, time is pressing...... When I get to the rank of legend, I still have a lot of questions for Trigoval to ask first. ”
