Chapter 17: Confusion (6)
Poor Altyn had not slept all night, and by the time he hurried to the City of Rain, he was already staggering with men and horses. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info Alquin dipped his head in the sink, tried to sober himself, and hurried to the congressional hall.
On the square in front of the Congress Hall, Gu Shiyu's soldiers had already assembled and were preparing to set off.
Gu Shiyu saw that Altyn was so embarrassed, and he felt a little reluctant in his heart, but now that the situation is critical, what else can he do.
After hearing Gu Shiyu's explanation, Altyn also discovered the seriousness of the problem.
Everyfritin's military strength is now the strongest, if it is really as expected, several of Gu Shiyu's strongholds will be swept by him in an instant, and none of them will be spared. And his troops are so strong that they don't need to hide at all, and the progress will be very fast. What's more, he expected Gu Shiyu to leave the base area and go to fight York, and there would be no too strong troops in the rear at all.
Eufritin's expectation was good, the defenders of those castles were not vulnerable at all, and there was no trace of Gu Shiyu's main force at all. But what he never expected was that Gu Shiyu did not send troops to attack York, but made a false shot and attacked his base area.
After discussing with Altyn, Gu Shiyu made a plan for Altyn to defend the four cities in the original Eufrittine territory, and Gu Shiyu immediately set out to pursue Eufrittin and regain the lost territory.
Fortunately, now that the rear of Everitin has been lost, the castle barracks he occupied are not well equipped and cannot be replenished with corresponding soldiers.
Gu Shiyu hurriedly marched to Yamlit, and it was already the weekend. After a day's stationing, all the trained recruits in the castle were recruited. Now he has seven archangels, and the rest of the troops have been replenished accordingly.
The troops returned from crossing the sea, and the two human castles that were being built had indeed fallen. Although Everyfretin left a few soldiers to defend the city, it collapsed in an instant under Gu Shiyu's powerful offensive.
At this moment, Gu Shiyu stopped the pursuit and continued to build the two castles. He hoped that the two castles would be like Yamlit, which would provide him with a steady supply of soldiers every week.
The other castles can't take care of so much, let Everyfretin get it, and when he is almost done, his own military strength may have surpassed him, and then he can go to Everettin for a decisive battle.
The Isle of Light is in turmoil. The latest information shows that among the four contestants, Gu Shiyu has the most funds and cities, and has become the favorite to win the championship.
This kid is obviously the least favored one, how could he suddenly become like this?
The townspeople, who bet on others, are in a hurry. If things continue like this, these people will definitely lose all their money.
There are more and more people around the square of the Capitol. There was a lot of talk and anxiety.
"This must have been manipulated by the Imperial Council! They concealed Gu Shiyu's true data and kept everyone in the dark!" a man stood on the fence of the fountain in the square and shouted loudly to the crowd.
"Yes, how did his personal skills improve so much all of a sudden, from the penultimate to the strongest hero?"
"Maybe he's lucky enough to get some powerful equipment?"
"Is he alone lucky?, and how did his troops suddenly become so strong and defeat Alkin so quickly?"
"I've heard that he has a lot of diplomatic skills. β
"No, this must be behind the scenes of the Imperial Council. Do you know that the bets of the ministers of the Imperial Council are all on Gu Shiyu, they will get rich because of it, and we will be poor because of it? β
"This is not fair! We ask the members of the Imperial Council to come out immediately and give us a reasonable explanation!"
The crowd in the square grew larger and larger, and soon it reached thousands of people. People were excited, fist-fighting, and began to storm the Capitol.
In the Capitol, the priests of the Imperial Council were watching a tall and powerful middle-aged man wearing a crown in the hall.
"Your Royal Highness King Kendall, Princess Gaia is the most honored guest of the Holy Light Island, and her beauty and intelligence make everyone admire. Whoever it is, before her noble appearance, will feel their own humility. No one wanted to, and no one dared to assault her. β
"And where did she go?" Kendall roared, "She has such a powerful guard, who else but the Isle of Light can defeat them in this sea?"
Princess Gaia's guard was personally approved by her and asked Ressa to take away the conquest Gu Shiyu. The Isle of Light is only a four-day flight from Erathia, and the routes here are always the safest, so who knew there would be such an accident?
But none of the members of the Imperial Council dared to tell the truth. Otherwise, wouldn't he admit that he secretly supported Gu Shiyu? Once the citizens of Shengguang Island learned the truth, they would definitely be extremely angry, and they would even be ousted from power!
Kendall would hate them, too. For the sake of a little-known boy, they actually watched others take away Her Royal Highness the Princess's guards, could it be that the victory or defeat of this kid is more important than the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess?
No way, let's all play dumb......
"But judging from the shattered deck, Princess Saiya's fleet has either run into a terrible storm or has unfortunately run aground. β
"Nonsense! That waterway is the safest in the world, where are there any reefs? And will there be a storm on the sea in the spring?"
"We also find it very strange. Princess Saiya herself, and her guards, as if evaporated out of thin air, left us with no clue other than the broken deck and debris. β
Eric was secretly worried. When Princess Saiya left, it was when her disciple Sandru came to the island of light to apply for a bank loan. Could it be that Sandru was so bold that he actually attacked Her Royal Highness the Princess's fleet?
It's very likely! What is going on in this kid's head, as a teacher, he often can't see through. This Sandru is either a man who is extremely loyal to him, or he is a thief who is very good at disguise and hides his sinister intentions.
Would he really be so bold? If so, his life's fame would be ruined at his hands.
Such suspicions must not be spoken, and you will feel very frightened just thinking about it!
Sandru got the loan and left Dia, no longer able to confront him face to face. If he really did it, I believe he would deny it.
If Sandru is really behind the scenes, he can't get rid of it anyway. Who called him his own disciple? Sandru was the one who supported him, and it was his own idea to let him go to Diya, and he also did it himself to find a loan from a banker. Now, even if I jump into the deepest sea and wash it for a hundred years, I am afraid that I will not be able to wash it away.
"Let's go and ask the Prophet what he knows."
Kendall cried out, "What can a blind man know?
"Your Highness, you know that the prophet is the spokesman of the gods, and as a servant of the gods, it is not appropriate for you to say such things. β
β...... I beg your pardon, I'm really dizzy, and it's not out of disrespect for the gods......" Kendall also knew that he was overtalking.
"No one will blame you, Your Royal Highness, and we can understand your feelings at the moment. β
A gray-robed shaman hurried forward and whispered in Eric's ear.
Eric was already in a state of exhaustion, and when he heard this, he was furious and said: "Nonsense! Where did we secretly support Gu Shiyu? How did we know that his ability and combat power would improve so quickly? Also, we didn't participate in the competition and gambling organized by the bankers at all! As servants of the gods, participating in gambling is disrespectful to the gods and a serious crime! This is pure falsehood! They actually stormed the Capitol? This is worth it?! Arrest them immediately, torture them, and be sure to ask the mastermind behind the scenes!"
"Your Highness, High Priest, how can I explain this to the citizens who have been deceived by these people?"
"We're going to find the evidence! They're going to accuse the Council of the Imperial Council of secretly manipulating the game, and we're going to ask them to come up with the evidence as well! In three days' time, we'll hold a hearing on this matter at the Capitol. β
Hundreds of heavily armed guards rushed down the steps of the Capitol, pulled out dozens of citizens who had taken the lead in the trouble, kicked and beat them, and threw them into the heavily guarded Holy Light Tower.
The white-robed priests accompanied Kendall to the solemn temple.
The temple was guarded by hundreds of Titans, and the barefoot prophet in kudzu robe was muttering to himself as he stood in front of the pool.
Eric bowed and said, "O all-knowing and omnipotent prophet, we ask for your help. β
The Prophet nodded, "I know what you came to the temple for. I will tell you a good news and a bad news. β
The crowd knelt at the feet of the Prophet and listened to the Prophet's message.
"The good news is that Princess Saiya is alive and well. The bad news is that I can't see where she is, I can only feel a black fog around her, and it's thick and evil, like being in a dark hell. β
Kendall jumped to his feet and said happily, "I know where she is! She must be in Diya, if Wilma didn't catch her, it must be Sandru! It's the darkest place in the whole world except hell! Grandma's, I'm going to catch these two bastards, skin them off and use them as shirts, and tear off all their flesh and feed them to the dogs!"
"Your Royal Highness, you have to act cautiously, Sandru is attacking the undead clan on the orders of the Holy Light Island, you can't fight indiscriminately!"
Kendall ran out the door, shouting, "I only know how to attack! Attack! If you're afraid I'll kill him, he'll have to stay away!"
Everyone knows that the end of a ground battle with Erathia is quite terrible. These people are proud and strong, and they will go to great lengths and even give their lives for the sake of a lion banner like a footcloth, for a simple promise, and for a sense of honor that no one knows what it looks like!
Eric was both happy and worried. Glad that the undead who invaded the Dia continent will be crushed under the iron hooves of Kendall's army, and the fear is that Kendall will take the opportunity to clean up Sandru and the Duke of Elares and take the Dia continent into his own pocket.
Dia was originally the domain of the Duke of Elares, the father of Prince Roland. Dia was originally a vassal of Erathia and a staunch ally of the Kingdom of Erathia. But when the father of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine Hungerhardt. After Ironfast died in the Lost Lands, Kendall staged a coup d'Γ©tat, imprisoned the Queen Regent, seized the throne, and then demanded that the nobles everywhere swear allegiance to him.
However, many nobles loyal to the former king Fingerhardt had always regarded Kendall as a vile rebel and broke away from Erathia's control, most notably Duke Elares of Dia and Duke Drino of Carava.
Kendall had long wanted to teach these two people a lesson, but these so-called servants of the gods on the island of Holy Light kept chattering to prevent themselves from doing so, and said that once the war started, they would declare Kendall's throne illegal usurpation, and no longer aid Erathia, but instead aid his enemies.
Kendall had no choice but to give up and make peace in exchange for the recognition of his rightful throne on the Isle of Light.
Because of this, when Dia was invaded by Wilma's army of the undead, Kendall gloated and watched from the sidelines, not sending a single soldier to help. And the Duke of Elares is also very stubborn, preferring to perish rather than bow to the usurper.
In desperation, Eric had no choice but to personally go into battle and support Sandru to fight Dia in order to solve the urgent needs of the Duke of Elares.
