Chapter Eighty-Five: An Undercurrent Surges

Hadrian's Wall, in a makeshift camp.

The great enemy of the Highland Kingdom and the dictator of the Celtic Governor's Mansion was standing solemnly beside the carefully drawn military map, staring intently at the map, his fingers constantly scratching the marks on the delicate sheepskin with the movement of his consciousness, and his heart was worried.

The battle against the Highland Kingdom was related to the chaos of the entire Celtic Island, and it was also closely related to his future status, so he had to painstakingly plan the war situation.

At this moment, the situation in front of him was not as rosy as it seemed, and Yare clearly understood this, although the trap set by the Gramorgan geographical advantage was an unexpected victory, and the Highland Expeditionary Force was almost wiped out, and only a few hundred people escaped under the pursuit of the follow-up troops.

The sharpest minions of the Celts have been ruthlessly severed, and the highland kingdoms, which have been completely wiped out by modern armies, have lost their deadliest threat to the Viceroyalty. But this does not mean that the rest of the battle will be smooth sailing, on the contrary, a crushing defeat has made the Highland Kingdom a hard bone with no place to speak.

Overall, the strength of the Highland Kingdom has been broken, but in fact, the Celts have become frightened birds, shrinking into a ball and concentrating their forces, and defending the border town of Glagor as impregnable.

In terms of troops, the highland army currently assembled on the border has exceeded 80,000, which is still more than the number of the governor's palace army, and several powerful highland lords and private troops under their command are intact and are coming from the north.

Although the victory forced them behind Antony's Wall, so that they could no longer ravage the southern Celts, they did more with less. It is undoubtedly a huge challenge to annihilate as much as possible.

And what worries the black-haired knight even more is the actions of the Freedom Alliance. In case religious lunatics and neurotic mages agree on their ideas. If you want to keep the Highland Kingdom at all costs, then your plans for a few years will be in vain.

Defeating the enemy is not too difficult for the current Governor's Palace, but if the desired goal is not achieved, even countless victories are meaningless. And even a small failure is unacceptable to the shallow-based Governor's Office, and may even lead to collapse.

Therefore, the attitude of the imperial side is all the more important. However, the herald's reply was a mixed blessing for Arley. Happily, it can be seen from the words of the reply that His Majesty the Vice-Emperor of the Ruling Empire is obviously on his side, and the other party also praises and praises him in an extremely enthusiastic tone, making the black-haired knight think that the two seem to know each other.

But the worry is that the cabinet did not fully accept his idea, and not a single reinforcement was seen, only the Atlantic Fleet was dispatched, and the United Fleet was confronted every day from dozens of miles apart, and the two sides maintained a strange tacit understanding like walking a tightrope.

According to the analysis of the current situation. None of the leaders of the Cold War seem to be willing to let this go too far, and they remain at the same time confrontation. Wait for the Governor's Palace and the Highland Kingdom to decide the victory.

Look...... His unexpected victory made the empire have an inflated opinion of the governor's palace.

That's right, he has dragons, gods, and cursed sources to help him, and he has also collected 20,000 defeated troops from the Highland Kingdom, and the numbers on paper can be said to be quite luxurious.

However, the four sources of the curse are all in the nest, and they can't do without Glamorgan at all, so they are useless to the current battle situation, and their core strength has lost almost one-third, as for the surrender of the Highland Kingdom...... It's a double-edged sword.

"Perhaps, it's time for our future queen to do something. ”

Yalei looked up at the slightly gloomy sky outside the tent and muttered.

......

The logs cut in the field are crudely treated, and they are simply tied and bundled with thick hemp rope to build a rushing cart, and there are many of them, but the strange shape looks like it will completely collapse at any time.

Colorful Celtic tribal flags were haphazardly planted on the wooden walls of the perimeter and the four-wheeled vehicles that formed the defensive formation. Filthy debris was littered with debris, looted belongings from nearby cities were haphazardly arranged, and Celts in their armor and capes smelling of disgust roamed the barracks undisciplined—this was the current state of the Pandolagone Restoration.

The poor construction techniques of the barracks, the unruly arrangement of the barracks, the unbinding loose discipline, the vulgar and barbaric manners, apart from the strong physique and the appearance of ferocity, this is simply a good-for-nothing army.

As a knight of the Empire, Paddy, who was responsible for monitoring and protecting Lady Lilith, really couldn't understand how to complete the cause of restoring the Pandoragon dynasty with such a rabble.

However, now is not the time to think about this, Paddy's thoughts are turned to the north, where the Governor of the Empire has defeated the Highland Legion, and now it is almost time for his side to make a move.

"Mr. Paddy, Queen Lilith please. ”

Suddenly, a gruff voice sounded in his ears that brought him back to his senses, and he saw the tall and hairy brown bear-like Celtic in front of him making an indecent gesture of invitation, but there was an arrogant and arrogant expression on his face.

Lao Tzu slaughters you as long as 0. 5 seconds - Paddy sneers inwardly.

Contempt to contempt, but for the sake of the current alliance between the two sides, he smiled quietly and bowed his head, then put his hands behind his back and strode into the queen's makeshift tent.

Walking into the tent, Paddy's first feeling is that it is completely different from the outside world clean and cool, the four corners of the big tent are placed in each corner of a bronze statue to escape the heat, and the ice cubes placed inside the bronze statue release the coolness, driving away the summer heat.

In order to dispel the foul air flowing into the tent from the outside world, spices burned in the silver basin next to the bronze statue, temporarily suppressing the unique smell of sweat and odor on the barbarian's body.

When he saw the woman sitting on the throne made of animal bones and skins, Paddy finally smiled and looked at the only three people in the tent.

Perched on the throne, the glamorous lady with the golden crown was naturally Queen Lilith, and to her right sat a short, round-faced, broad-eared, kind-faced, bearded, middle-aged Celtic who wore a Celtic robe dyed yellow instead of black. This man was the first Highland Lord Alat, who responded to the call of the Restoration Army.

This man was originally a lord of the Highland Kingdom. But because of the demonic plague, he lost his territory and people. And when the ruthless King Wallace regained the land, he did not give it back generously, but took it for himself.

Disheartened, he happened to meet Lady Lilith, who was planning to restore, and very simply took advantage of the situation, and is currently the commander of the Praetorian Guard of the Pandoragon Dynasty, and his own combat effectiveness is ...... So so.

Standing on the left, he was not good-looking, and he was wearing a gray robe. The man with a gray beard and even a seemingly silent expression was named Merlin. There is not much information about this person's identity, except that he seems to be an indigenous mage from Celtic, and his mana is not bad, so he was appointed as a senior staff member to manage the affairs of the kingdom.

"I have received a letter from the Celtic governor's palace, and it seems that he has recognized that his army is not enough to defeat Wallace. ”

Just as Paddy was observing Merlin, as if to pick up some information from that face, Lilith suddenly stood up and stepped off the throne, looking nonchalant.

However. Paddy, who came back to his senses, couldn't help frowning as soon as he heard two sentences. Subconsciously, he wanted to refute it, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it hard, he wanted to see what this arrogant woman would do next.

Lilith, of course, did not know what was going on in his heart, and took Are's letter in her hand, and said with a smile:

"In that case, of course we are willing to help our allies, and I am grateful for the generosity of the Celtic Doge's Palace, as long as the Doge is willing to help me obtain the Highland Kingdom and cede Hadrian's Wall. I agreed to fight Wallace with him, so that Rosevia and Celtic could be reconciled forever and resist the Free Alliance. ”

Crunch crunch——!

Before the aftermath was gone, there was a burst of fried beans in the room, and the three Kels suddenly looked at Paddy as if they were facing a great enemy, and the future queen of the Highland Kingdom quickly retreated, and suddenly fell to the throne.

Paddy clenched his fists, his joints turned white, and a wave of anger was accumulating and churning in his chest, and even for a moment, he felt the urge to take a step forward and directly beat the arrogant and ignorant Lilith to death.

"Whew!"

After all, the knight still held back, after all, this woman was still useful, he had to endure the anger in his heart, calm down, raise his head, and said with a sneer:

"I beg your pardon, Lord Lilith, that you do not seem to have a clear understanding of the situation before you, who is begging for whom, and who needs whom more, and I hope you will consider this carefully. The Empire's army had already defeated the arrogant Wallace once, and even if the war didn't go well, it would be able to lose and defend Hadrian's Wall. And you, Lady Lilith, have only two paths to go now, one is to take this opportunity to raise the banner of restoration. Second, disband your army and obediently go back to Lao Lu to be your businessman. ”

"Are you threatening me?"

When Paddy finished speaking calmly, Lilith's expression turned extremely pale, and her body slumped on the throne like mud, and asked weakly.

"Threat, you think it's a threat, that's fine. The knight approached unabashedly, his fierce eyes pressing at him.

"Lord Paddy!"

Merlin suddenly dodged in front of Lilith, and said indifferently:

"We have been allies of Roussevia from the very beginning, so naturally we will not ignore the requests of our allies, and of course Her Majesty will cooperate with the Governor. ”

"That's right, that's right, we only have one common enemy now, and that is Wallace's traitor!" Arat hurriedly stepped forward to play the round.

Lilith bit her red lip and squeezed out a smile while nodding vigorously:

"They're right, and that's what I mean. ”

"So...... Please act as soon as possible!" said Paddy, with a smile on his face.

......

Highland Kingdom, Senate Hall.

"Your Excellency, the current situation compels us to cooperate further, the spear of fate is not enough to enable me to defeat the enemy, I need more strength. ”

Wallace said in a hoarse voice as he stared down at the bishop's lowered gaze.

"The spear of fate will never miss the blow of fate, and there is no one in this world who can withstand that blow, as long as he is shot, he will definitely die. ”

Joseph raised his deep-set face and asked with a precipitated expression: "You shouldn't have lost, why did you lose, can you give me a reason?"

"I have been deceived, Your Excellency. ”

A trace of distress flashed across the king's face, and a blood-red tide appeared again on his pale face, and he said weakly:

"I didn't expect that guy to have the ability to be a doppelganger, and that cut off fate with a shot on the doppelganger, and he deceived him into a fatal blow. That guy is too strong, the bombardment of the energy level is completely ineffective against him, and even Yitrier can't contain it!"

“......”

Bishop Joseph, who listened to Wallace's account of the battle, fell into deep thought, his expression deep worried.

"Your Excellency, now that the enemy knows of the existence of the Spear of Destiny, it is impossible to be vigilant and want to assassinate again. I need strength, the power to defeat the Knight of Origin head-on!"

The king pressed into the torn pain in his chest, and with a sharp hand he grabbed the bishop's arm, and pleaded:

"If I fail, it means that your mission in the Highland Kingdom is completely bankrupt, and even if you return to the Papal Kingdom, it will be difficult to have a chance to come back. As long as we repel the enemy in front of us, we still have a chance, you must help me!"

"Your Majesty, of course I know that. ”

After a long silence, Bishop Joseph let out a helpless sigh, looked at Wallace in front of him, and said softly:

"Of all the fifth-order lifeforms in this world, the Origin Knight has the strongest comprehensive performance, which even the angels can't reverse. Since that Governor can withstand the bombardment of the energy level of the Spear of Destiny without being injured, he must stand at the apex of the Fifth Order, and even if I use all my strength to strengthen you, I will be able to tie with him at most. ”

Speaking of this, a hesitant expression flashed on his face, and his tone became slurred:

"Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

Wallace asked as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, holding the other man's arm and looking at it.

"Unless you get out of this world!"

Bishop Joseph's eyes narrowed, and his tone became urgent: "That's right, as long as you leave this world, the power of the Spear of Destiny will be completely released, and you, you will be able to obtain a power far beyond the fifth order!"

"Power ...... Beyond the Fifth Order"

The king looked surprised at the end of the day, and urged the other party loudly to ask:

"What am I supposed to do? You must have a way, right?"

"Yes, I do have a way to ......"

The cardinal suddenly lowered his head, and no one knew that his old face hanging to the ground showed a hideous look.
