Owen Norton, King of the Golden Lion Kingdom, was still looking at the stone building in the distance, white smoke drifting out of the chimney and being blown away by the wind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Owen Norton's retinue did not dare to speak any more, for they knew that their king was thinking about something. Owen Norton had a lot of thoughts in his head.

Because the Rhine Alliance and the vampires are about to officially go to war again, it is no longer the same as before, driving the puppet states to fight. Owen Norton had received information from some sources that the Nine Star Kingdom of the Rhine Alliance would not stop this time without seeing the smokescreen tower in the vampire capital. If anyone dares to stand in front of them, then their iron riders will surely flatten these guys with mantis arms.

Obviously, this sentence is for the Golden Alliance. The Rhine Confederation continued to deploy troops and concentrate their forces on the border, and the vampires also put up their various regiments. A battle in the depths of the Golden Plain is about to begin. And the most victimized and innocent of them are, of course, the many countries on the Golden Plain.

The Golden League had no choice, and many of them defected directly to the Rhine Alliance, or vampires prayed for survival after the war. And the rest of the Golden Alliance is ready to die.

However, at this very moment. There was news of a demonic invasion in the north of the Rhine Alliance. This incident caused the Rhine Alliance to quickly dispatch a large number of legions to the north to expel the demons, and because of this, the Rhine Alliance's surprise attack on the vampires could not be stopped.

This is a relief to the southern vampires, as well as to the people of the Golden Alliance. Although there are demons that have delayed the Rhine Alliance, how long can they be delayed? You must know that the Rhine Alliance has been preparing for a long time in order to eliminate the vampires in one fell swoop.

A year, or two years, no matter how many years, in the end, the Rhine Alliance and the vampires will stage a battle that will change the pattern of the eastern continent. And the members of the Golden Alliance will either be reduced to ashes in it, or they will become puppet states of the Rhine League or vampires.

Although they had time to breathe, the leaders of the Golden Alliance still didn't have much to do. Ask for help from the kobolds in the Grand Canyon to the west? That's impossible, the kobolds are strictly neutral. Let the Mage Guild intermediate? That is even more impossible, there are more people from the Rhine Alliance in the Mage Guild. Or an alliance with the elves and the dwarves? That would not be realistic, first of all, it would be too far away, and by the time the war was over.

Or contact the orcs in the north and the barbarians in the snowy mountains to take advantage of the emptiness in the north of the Rhine Confederation to launch a raid? Don't mess with the police state of the "Bridge Country......

All the options were thought of and then rejected one by one. The leaders of the Golden Alliance were all discouraged. Owen Norton was no exception, until he recently recruited a mercenary-turned-squire to tell him that there was a powerful presence on the continent that could turn the Rhine Alliance and vampires to ashes if he was willing to do so.

Owen Norton knows his name, Daddy Tom. At first he was skeptical, but he was a live horse doctor with a dead horse. Owen Norton sent out his men to inquire about Daddy Tom.

The Thieves' Guild told him directly that his clearance was too low to provide him with information about this man named Daddy Tom. The Mercenary Guild directly rejected Owen Norton's mission to find information about Daddy Tom. These apparent guilds and organizations all directly rejected Owen Norton's request.

Owen Norton is looking for organizations that can't see the light again. He found a believer in the God of Conspiracy, and was received by a bishop, and when he uttered the words Daddy Tom, the bishop returned to the kingdom of the God of Conspiracy without a word...... Owen Norton was frightened and unwilling, and found a very famous killer organization, but as soon as Tom's name was reported, this organization directly announced that it would withdraw from the scope of the Golden Alliance and never do their business again......

Owen Norton's heart felt a fear that he hadn't seen in a long time, but he was excited. Because he finally found a straw, a man who was about to drown, found a straw that could float.

Owen Norton went to the temple of the gods of wealth, commerce, and contracts in his kingdom, met with the bishops, and told them that he was going to sacrifice to the gods, and he wanted to get some news from the gods.

At the beginning of the sacrifice, Owen Norton successfully communicated with the gods. But when Owen Norton said he wanted to know about Daddy Tom, the three gods fell silent. After a long time, only the God of Contracts raised his hand and pointed to the east.

Owen Norton knew that he was going to the Misty Forest to find this powerful being on his own. Without hesitation, Owen Norton and his guards rode out of the city on fast horses and headed to the place called the Misty Forest in the east.

"Let's go. Owen Norton, who had retracted his thoughts, waved his hand, and everyone continued on the road, and in a short time they could fully see the stone building. And on the side of the road, there is a sign with a sign on it, ahead of the Misty Forest, to the left Tom's Tavern. (Do you need a hint about this?, the tavern is right next door!)

Owen Norton and his men stopped outside the tavern, and he saw that the tavern was dotted around it with mercenary adventurers. Some were heading to the Misty Forest, some were lying drunk on the side of the road, and some were selling something in private. I didn't pay much attention to the appearance of Owen Norton and his party, and after two glances, these mercenary adventurers did their own things.

Just as Owen Norton was about to dismount and enter the tavern, a loud voice was heard from inside, and a strong light of holy light shone through the tavern window.

Hear the loud voice in the tavern say, "Dark elf, a dark elf, I will destroy you on behalf of my lord, the god of light!"

As soon as the holy light appeared, several followers behind Owen Norton immediately burst out with a powerful aura, a legendary aura, and then stood in front of Owen Norton, because this holy light power was very powerful, and it seemed that there was no distinction between friend and foe, as if it wanted to purify everything.

"A demigod-level cardinal?" Owen Norton was surprised, he sensed the power of the subtle rules that only a demigod could have.

"In the name of my lord...... "The cardinal of the Church of Light is about to perform some great magic.

But there was a "bang", and then the cardinal's voice was gone, and the dazzling light disappeared......
