Chapter 410: Turmoil

In the far hinterland of the Brakaton Plains, a feast of fire and blood is being staged in Erathia, known as the most brilliant pearl empire of Enros in 600 years, and the royal capital of Castellos.

A tall and beautiful female swordsman rushed to the front, her blood-stained sword dancing in the air in various moving arcs, and in just three moves, the captain of the squad guarding the portal let out a terrible howl when the cow was castrated and fell into a pool of blood, twitching like a dying pig like the mutilated bodies around him.

Behind her, a large number of soldiers dressed in neat armor and armed with shiny spears surged out of the portal like a tide, and then quickly divided and regrouped into a phalanx like a steel fortress.

"Catherine......" a young knight with a handsome face that made women jealous walked up to the female swordsman with a wry smile, "You don't need to charge at the front, since my father has promised to send troops to help you restore the country, the warriors of Ironfast will definitely move forward, stay with me, I will protect you." ”

The female swordsman who took the lead in killing the enemy was none other than Elasia's eldest princess Catherine, who had fled before, and that handsome knight was naturally her fiancé, the first heir to the Ironfast dynasty, Rog Ironfast.

"I am very grateful for all that you have done for me, and I will marry you as promised, but if you think that you can dictate to me, you are very wrong, this is my battle, my people are waiting for me to deliver, and I must always be on the front line to show them that the hope of Erathia is never extinguished. ”

To Rog's wry smile, Catherine did not listen to his admonition, but turned around and reprimanded him, and then walked up to an Erathian warrior who had his arm cut off in the scuffle and was sitting trembling in the corner.

"Go tell Rod Hart", Catherine lifted the warrior's collar, "I'm back, let him wash his neck and prepare to die", and after letting out a miserable howl like a pig being stabbed through the neck with a sharp blade, the warrior stumbled in the direction of the palace.

"Thorny rose!" Rogge's resolute face behind him as if carved by the blade of the wind and frost let out a teasing light shuff, close to two meters and two, even among the barbarian race, it can be regarded as very strong, and the heavy armor that seems to have been directly piled up with pieces of iron and steel without any polishing also declares what terrifying power that body contains, the Holy Knight Commander of the Ironfast Dynasty, and the deputy commander of the expeditionary force that went to Erathia, Lancelot.

"Hey......" Rogge let out a helpless sigh, his gentle and lenient was known throughout the Ironfast Empire, but even he couldn't figure out how he could have such a fierce fiancée, maybe this is one thing for another.

Contrary to the momentum of the rebel army of the Alinfast Dynasty, the palace of Erathia at this time was completely gloomy, and fear turned into a gossamer and melted into every wisp of air, so that every flap of the nose of the people in the main hall could pull a tremor and panic from the inside of the body.

"What should I do? I said I was going to destroy the portal, now it's okay, it's okay now! The army is besieging the city, everyone is waiting for death!" An old man in a luxurious robe but with a lewd face on the top of the main hall kept pacing back and forth, and from time to time he let out a roar at the crowd gathered in twos and threes, and with his inverted eyebrows and shriveled mouth, he looked like a mouse that had just eaten human flesh.

There were many others with the same panicked faces as the old man, but there were also some with disdainful faces and twinkling eyes, each of them guarding their circle without saying a word, and when the old man's tone was like a weasel that had been choked by the neck was finally raised to a high octave of harshness, the tall man under the right pillar frowned.

"Pan Wuqing, you supported the regent's ascension to the throne at the beginning, didn't your family get a rich reward for this? Why are you scared now? There is no such thing as eating meat without paying for it in this world, isn't this time more of an opportunity for you to show your loyalty?"

The man's voice was not high, but it happened to be stuck in the gap where Panwood's old air had dried up and the new air had not risen, so that the old man's withered eyebrows, which were like chicken feathers, almost distorted the bridge of his nose with cloudy eyes, and the spit in his wide mouth was still on the yellow teeth, and his whole face was as uncomfortable as if he had just eaten a piece of.

"Paris, you!" Just as the old man named Panwood finally reacted and was about to launch a sharp and sharp counterattack against his offender, a long, rooster-like voice once again shoved a fat green-headed fly into his gaping mouth, turning his next words into a meaningless ho-ho, like a mouthful of thick phlegm that could not be spit out.

"The Regent Arrives !!"

A gloomy face appeared at the end of the corridor with the fall of the tail note, although he tried his best to make every step he took to the ground burst out with the majesty of the king, but the wine-colored hollowed out body made his wide robe sleeves look extremely pompous, and the silver sword hanging from his waist made a crisp sound with the collision of his hip bones, and His Royal Highness the Great Prince Regent looked like a clown about to perform on stage.

"Pretend!" the middle-aged man who was called Paris slurped, but was carefully pulled by his colleague next to him.

Rod Hart, who had not appeared for a long time, had long lost his former richness and calmness, he walked to the throne and stood still, a pair of eyes collapsed like night owls looked coldly around the group of people below him, money, fame, and power are all that make up this fragile alliance in the hall.

"Where are the thieves?" said Rod Hart's voice as if a wise king was sitting on the empty throne next to him, and he was the loyal servant who was dedicated to assisting the declining dynasty, even if it was the rightful heir to the throne of the country who was about to attack, and his hoarse voice like a lynx said that righteousness was at his feet.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Regent, the invaders of Einfast have taken Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine hostage, and took advantage of our army's unpreparedness to capture the teleportation circle linking the Enroth continent, and are now marching towards the outer city in the whole team, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Prince Regent to order the mobilization of the army to rescue the princess and the enemy from the royal city. ”

Old Panwood jumped out of the crowd as if he had been stabbed in the ass, bowed to Rod Hart, and replied urgently.

"Hmmm......" A constipation-like groan sounded from Rod Hart's nose, he naturally knew that the group of people below were unreliable, and he never expected these people to really have the same heart as himself, but now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and the royal capital guards are in their own hands, and the outer city has a city wall more than ten meters high and crusaders and marksmen to guard it, so he is not worried for a while, not to mention that he still has hole cards in his hand that no one knows, otherwise he would not insist on staying in Castelos City knowing that Catherine would face serious retribution after fleeing。

"How many soldiers and horses did the thieves dispatch? Is old Einfast dazed, how could he make such a stupid decision regardless of the friendship between the two countries. ”

In fact, when Catherine escaped from the royal capital, Rod Hart knew that she had only one place to go, so he then prepared a large amount of treasure and gold coins and sent them to the royal palace in Einfast, with a diplomatic note that was pertinent, hoping that the king of Einfast would recognize the situation and focus on the overall situation, and not cause disputes between the two countries for the sake of unnecessary personal affairs between his children.

The response of the Ironfast side did indeed satisfy Rod Hart, the envoy was treated with the courtesy of the envoy, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ironfast, who was in charge of the contact, also promised to properly handle the matter with the friendship between the two countries as the priority.

But even then, Rod Hart was equally prepared for war on the other hand, and his years in power had taught him how untrustworthy diplomatic rhetoric could be, so he was not alarmed when he learned that Einfast had promised to send troops to Erathia.

"Back to Your Highness, according to the defenders of the outer city, the number of the Ainfast rebels gathered under the city has reached 5,000, including halberders, marksmen, griffons, and crusades, as well as a small number of priests and monks, and the number continues to increase. ”

Pan Wood hurriedly replied, to be honest, he was also relieved when he heard this number, the vanguard force is only five thousand, even if the main force is gathered in the later stage, it will not exceed too much, there should be a number of twenty or thirty thousand, and the current royal capital guard force is also about 30,000, and ten of the five attacks are surrounded, for the defenders they have a huge advantage.

It seems that this time Einfast is very likely to just go through the motions and don't want to really start a war with Erathia, otherwise, with the hundreds of years of experience of the Einfast dynasty, if it really comes out, it will never be just such a dot matrix.

"Hmm...... It seems that old Ironfast is not completely old and confused. After hearing this, Rodhart also had the same idea as Penwood, great power diplomacy is by no means a simple matter that can be swayed by the personal feelings of children, there is no absolute interest and hatred, the war between the two countries will try to control within a controllable range, and more things will be left to the negotiating table to solve, and the scale of the Ironfast dynasty's troops also shows their attitude.

"In this way, let Sandface take three thousand crusaders and a thousand cavalry to support the outer city, and find two messengers who are proficient in foreign affairs to go to the barracks in Einfast to see what they really want, and at the same time declare martial law and curfew in the city, and those who are unauthorized to foreign enemies will be killed!"

"Your Highness is wise!!" Old Panwood hurriedly offered his own sycophancy, like a dull son revering his wise old man, although the others despised it, but they could only praise Rodhart's wisdom along with him, but what was going on in those slightly bowed heads was only known to the parties themselves.

At the same time, on the other side of the Antaglisi continent, in the elven kingdom of Eli, which is surrounded by the sea and the forests of Turalea, the Earl of Parrington, one of the three major human lords, suddenly announced that he would crusade against the other two lords, Marquis Skelly and Earl Grote, who had been bullying him for a long time, and even caused his wife to become depressed and sick because of their persecution, and sent a formal diplomatic note to the Elven Council asking the Elven Kingdom army to remain neutral.

Just when the Earl of Pallington's army drove to the Pamia Plateau on the border with the Marquis of Skelly, a large fleet suddenly captured his coastal town of White Rock City from behind the Marquis of Skelly's ass, announcing that he would join the war as an overseas ally of the Earl of Page, and a large number of Sea Clan troops appeared behind the Marquis of Skelly.

Coming to the front line to command the war with Parrington, Kelly was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately sent a letter asking the Elven Kingdom to intervene to expel the overseas invaders, and at the same time sent a letter to his ally Grote asking him to send troops to help him defend against the Sea Clan's ** operation.

But to his disappointment, although Grlot immediately agreed to his request and sent reinforcements behind him, the peace-loving Elven Council quarreled for a long time and did not discuss a result, some thought that it was necessary to send troops to expel the Sea Clan and let the three human lords return to the negotiating table, some thought that it was the human being's own business, and the elves should not interfere too much, and some even proposed to let the human race kill and live the elven kingdom to reap the benefits, in short, when the Sea Clan's army completely occupied White Rock City and the surrounding ports and coastlines under the cover of fleet fire, the Elven Council did not fight for even a single feather arrow。

"These damn, stupid green-skinned woods!" Skelly slammed the silver cup to the ground as he heard the Elven Council's astonishing efficiency of the discussions, the red wine dripping like blood beneath his feet.

"Honk, drum, pack up the bitch of Palrington, go back and drive all the sea brutes back to the sea! Crush the army of Palrington! I will allow you to plunder his territory for three days!" Skelly drew his sword at his waist and roared madly, lured by the plunder and the gold, his army first attacked the infantry positions of Parrington with high morale.

Just when the Elven Council of the three major human lords of Eli was also in full swing, Tiga, another kingdom surrounded by the forests of Turalea, was also unable to extricate itself from the quagmire of war.

An undead army that suddenly appeared from the Steelac Mountains raided Cloudy City, brutally killed the death knight Burka, who led the skeleton zombies to resist the invaders, and occupied Cloudy City, the news reached the ears of Grand Duke Clauvis in Shadow City, and he immediately became furious, not only because Burka was a loyal lackey of the Clauvis family, but also because the geographical location of Cloudy City happened to be stuck on a large plain between the Steelac Mountains and the Turalian Forest, which is an extremely important strategic town for both attack and defense。

And what made him most angry was the man who captured Cloud City, Modo, who gave Modo the right to command the army and let him teach Sandru a lesson, but now he has turned into a stone and shot himself in the foot.

"Send troops! Send troops! Call Tamik and Nags to me! I will tear down the bones of Modo's soul refining one by one and feed them to the dogs, so that he will know the price of betraying me!" At the roar of Crowvis, a heavy cloud of war began to hang over the entire land of Tiga, so heavy that it seemed to make the dry bones and rotting corpses buried deep in the ground curl up in a heap, otherwise they would be dug up and die again.
