As the chaotic Northern Regions finally became unified, reactions were mixed in other directions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, they all accelerated the attack in their hands with a tacit understanding, and almost frantically marched around, entangled in one big battle after another, and made a mess of the original situation.

This is due to the excessive pressure coming from the north.

No matter how desolate and dilapidated, the Northern Regions are always a large domain, although the overall strength is relatively weak, but after unification, it will not be weak, at least it is equivalent to more than half of the strength of other regions.

And at present, when the central royal court can't move its hand and is entangled with several surrounding powers, the Principality of Yadixu can almost dominate, no matter where it attacks next, it will be a huge disaster.

In this case, even the royal court was moved, and sent three waves of envoys in a row, wanting to establish diplomatic relations with it, at least not allowing it to attack the center.

After all, although the royal court is strong, but in the current situation where almost the world is invincible, if it is against the last Duchy of Yadixu, which can almost be called the second in the world, then no matter how strong the accumulation is, it will be unbearable.

In this case, for a while, all kinds of envoys came to the newly built city of Artis, and came from afar with different missions and ideas.

And among the emissaries, one mission seemed a little different.

Far away from the city of Artisus, a knight looked at the magnificent city ahead and sighed from afar.

"It's unbelievable that such a huge city can be built in just a few years. ”

He looked at the city of Artisu in the distance, whose outline was gradually clear, and sighed slowly.

You must know that in this world, almost every city-state city has a long history, and it even took hundreds of years to slowly build. And it only took a few years from the preparation of the construction of Yadixu City to the present, which really shocked these people who are accustomed to a slow pace.

"I heard that it was the magic of the group of northern sacrifices. Because of the special power, it is possible to make the city build so fast. ”

An old knight rode up to him and looked up at the front as he said.

However, looking at the majestic and magnificent city in front of him, he also had a faint sigh in his heart: "This country of Yadi is so powerful, but the royal court and His Majesty Aldrich have no way to solve it, and they still have to establish diplomatic relations with it, I am afraid that sooner or later, they will still have to face each other." ”

"It's just, it's a pity. ”

He thought of the fact that along the road, the villages were being relocated under the leadership of priests and officials, and the truth that under the hard work of countless slaves, they were gradually being built, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

"Although the Northern Regions were unified, at this time, the various principalities were not attached for a long time, and a large number of nobles in the country were generally dissatisfied because of their policies. If the royal court is determined to attack the north now, without external interference, there is at least a seventy percent chance of defeating the Duchy of Adixu and occupying most of the northern regions. ”

"If you wait for a few years, I'm afraid it won't be that simple. ”

He thought so in his heart, with a deep helplessness and regret in his heart.

But the next moment, that trace of regret was snuffed out by him. His face was expressionless, and his face as resolute as a knife did not change at all, and he looked ahead: "Let's go in and see how this young city is." ”

So the long convoy slowly walked by, and together with the surrounding caravans, walked on the long avenue, and slowly walked into the city of Artissu

On the other side, in the royal palace of the city of Adesus.

"Your Majesty, there are seven waves of envoys, from different places, who are asking to see you. Look at what they mean, they want to establish diplomatic relations with us. ”

In the palace, Patton had a serious face, a large number of heralds in his hand, and said to Artis, who was sitting upright in front of him.

Hearing him speak, Artis slowly opened his eyes, and in a pair of pupils, the gold became more and more obvious, with an extremely strong majesty, giving people a sense of oppression.

"Seven more?"

He looked up and shook his head, a little accustomed to the constant arrival of these envoys.

"Let them in. ”

He said as he looked at Old Barton, who was still standing quietly in front of him with a serious face.

And with the order, waves of envoys gradually stepped forward, and Artis met them one by one, and in the end, near dusk, these things were over.

Nadir came from outside.

"Your Majesty, according to the news from the people from the border watchtower, it seems that there are several waves of messengers on the way to the city of Adisus, and it seems that there are even more on the way. ”

"However, most of these visiting principalities are principalities that are on the border and are in contact with us. ”

Nadir said respectfully.

"It's normal. ”

Artis smiled and said, "After all, after the situation in the north has stabilized, these principalities will not be at ease until we have decided where to send troops to attack. Therefore, they all sent missions, afraid to find an excuse for us to attack. ”

"But don't worry about these missions, although the gifts are accepted, the others are not to be ignored. ”

"Yes!" Nadir responded.

Seeing him like this, Artis shook his head and said, "Nadir, do you know that at the same time as these missions came. Those principalities have already deployed heavy troops on the border, and it seems that they are all ready for both. ”

Hearing this, Nadir was shocked: "So fast?"

But after thinking about it carefully, he also knew it in his heart, so he had to smile helplessly.

However, after a while, his face gradually began to hesitate, and he said, "However, although this is the case, as the Northern Regions are pacified by us, which place does Your Majesty want to attack next?"

"What do you think?" Artis asked rhetorically, looking at Nadir, who was looking down in thought.

For this question, Nadir did not hesitate, and said categorically: "In addition to the central region, both the Eastern and Western Regions can be entered. ”

Hearing him say this, Artis was curious, so he asked, "Why?"

"In the middle, there is the presence of the royal court. ”

Nadir looked at Ardis and said slowly: "At present, the royal court has not only confronted the entire south head-on with the strength of one country, but also suppressed several city-states in the center. ”

"If we participate at this time, with our participation, if we attack the royal court, then although the royal court can be suppressed. However, the royal court is so profound that it is impossible to perish for a while, and in the end, it is very likely that we will be dragged in, creating opportunities for other principalities in vain. ”

"What if we help the royal court?" a voice rang out around him, and Barton asked rhetorically.

"Not so much!" replied Nadir in a loud voice.

"If you choose to help the royal court, then the several principalities that are now fighting against the royal court will definitely be slaughtered. ”

He paused, looked at Artis in front of him, and said, "But it's not good for us. ”

"In the middle, the influence of the royal court is very great, and in the south, there is a royal court separated from us, so even if it is destroyed, it will only cheapen the royal court in the end, and it will not benefit us at all. ”

"Only the Eastern and Western Regions, where there is no country that can match us, and they border us, are our best choices. ”

Seeing him say this, Artis finally smiled and nodded.

In the evening, Artis walked slowly through the gardens of the palace.

At this time, because the Artis family was thin, and there was no princess, there were not many people living in, and the surroundings seemed a little deserted. Only a few samurai and maidens walked in it, and they looked not only thin, but also weakly defended.

However, these are just appearances. In fact, in the palace, there are several yellow-robed priests and earth knight-level powerhouses hidden at this time, and there is even a high priest guarding the town.

This kind of lineup, coupled with the fact that the palace guards are equipped with specially made magic arrows, even if the Sky Knight comes, they can't please it, so they can only flee in embarrassment.

Speaking of which, Artis himself is certainly not afraid of assassination. After all, even if it is just a split body, but in the end it carries the essence of the ontological part, and the idle assassin can't get close to it at all.

But still, the assassins and the like were a problem. Especially in the past few years, with the rise of Artis, the suppression and killing of countless people, those assassinations have not stopped. At the highest time, there was even a knight of the level of Earth Knight who came, so that he had to raise the defense level of the palace so that it would not be easily entered by others.

But at this time, he was alone in the quiet garden, silently thinking.

"In the Eastern and Western Regions, it seems that because of too much pressure from me and the royal court these days, some principalities have rushed to rise, calmed the surrounding situation at an extremely fast speed, and began to sweep towards the surrounding principalities. ”

"However, due to the short period of time, these places are still in a chaotic stage at this time, just like the northern regions a few decades ago, with many principalities. ”

"At this time, no matter where I send my troops to attack, I can easily take it. ”

He silently raised his head, and the information about the South kept coming into his mind, and then he came to this conclusion.

"It's just that no matter which side is solved first, the other side will be given time, and then it will be very difficult to attack. It would be very troublesome if the Central Campaign ended before the two domains were completely conquered. ”

"Therefore, this battle must be fast. ”

He thought so. In the body, an incomparably powerful true spirit was slowly shaking, seducing the stars in the sky.

As the stars in the sky shook slightly, merging with the true spirit, his consciousness seemed to slowly rise, gradually merging into a pillar of heaven.

And at this time, as the consciousness gradually raised, the scene on the earth suddenly changed.

In the vast land, several pillars of heaven are slowly rising, and there are many faintly twinkling stars, each with its own destiny, colliding with each other.

In the middle of it, the largest pillar of heaven flickered, and one of them was faintly humanoid, with a majestic vision of source power emerged.
