466 Omar mutiny
Julio's words made Shengxuan's heart tremble, but then he thought about it, and did not show anything, but leisurely picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and looked at any subtle changes in the other party with his eyes, wanting to find a little truth from him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But after a while, he gave up, because Julio's repeated performances were definitely not pretended, and if he could pretend to be to this extent, it would only be said that this man was extremely scheming, but what reason did he have to lie?
If that's the case, it means that this Grand Duke Julio has never really let down his guard against Shengxuan, but what if he is really in trouble now?
Seeing that Julio almost drank half a bottle of spirits in one go, and his face showed a strange ruddy glow, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but walk over and hold down the wine bottle he had just raised, "If the Grand Duke has any difficulties, it is better to say it, maybe I can help you." ”
Julio looked at him drunkenly, then sighed, "That's a long way to talk." Julio tried to snatch the bottle, but he couldn't get past it, so he sat down in his chair and squinted his eyes and began to tell the story.
Since Calais provoked the war, the war has escalated, and finally in the early spring, Calais launched the largest attack, and the slave army alone used a huge five million, no matter the cost of the frenzied attack, finally knocked on the door of Omar's country.
Millions of Calais then swept through most of the Carolingian Duchy like locusts, and the Grand Duke of Carolingian was forced to flee, and the defenders of Omar retreated, finally allowing the enemy army to cross Carolingian and approach the royal capital directly.
At this critical moment, the thirteen principalities actually had internal disputes, first with the Duchy of Meroving, and then several principalities such as Charlotte and Harris began to strike their troops one after another, refusing to send troops to fight Calais, this drastic change suddenly made the situation in the royal capital worse.
In desperation, Nicholas the Great was forced to drive the expedition in person, because it could awaken the courage of the people, but who would have thought that in less than three days when the king went to the front line, he would be surrounded by the Calais.
"That's not the worst," Julio had completely buried himself in his chair, as if this would give him a sense of security, "Under the influence of Grand Elder Gatiaro, seven principalities have risen up against Nicholas the Great and want to overthrow his rule. ”
Hearing this, Sheng Xuan didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation, because these things were too far away from him, and what he was concerned about now was how to hire mages, how to get more food to fill the bellies of orcs and dwarves.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Julio continued, "Since our family was crowned a principality here, because of guarding this unfortunate mercenary city, it has always been remembered, and the neighboring two principalities of Charlotte and Harris have long coveted it, and now these two families have finally decided to take advantage of the chaos, a full army of one million has already reached the border of our principality, but I have recruited 700,000 troops to rush to the front line in order to support the empire's war, where do I still have the strength to resist this sudden attack." ”
Sheng Xuan finally knew about the troubles of Grand Duke Julio, but he was not worried, after all, he had served in the Duchy's army, and although he had just been recruited and sent to the Helmet Mountain Fortress to help defend the place where birds don't, he still had some understanding of the strength of the Duchy.
"A million troops, it shouldn't pose a threat to you!" Hearing Sheng Xuan say this, Julio could only smile bitterly, "Brother Sheng Xuan, how do you know the danger? I just said that the seven principalities joined forces to force the palace, but I didn't say how many principalities support Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth, I am afraid that there are less than three families that can still stand on Your Majesty's side now, and although the rest did not make a move, they are also waiting and watching, and I, the Grand Duke who has always been separated between the temple and the royal family, will sooner or later become a victim of this mutiny." ”
In the eyes of people, it has always been a powerful Omar Empire, but he didn't expect to end up in such a situation of internal and external troubles, but Sheng Xuan didn't understand why these principalities acted when Calais and Omar were in a difficult situation, and what benefit would this have for them?
"Hehe, I'm not afraid that you don't believe it, I'm afraid that after this disaster, there will be no shadow of the Duchy of Julio in the world, and the endless mineral deposits in the Moon Dance Forest outside the mercenary city will also be divided up by Calais and several mutinous principalities, some people take the opportunity to take the throne, not to mention the benefits of supporting the new monarch, isn't this enough?"
"Isn't there a temple? Could it be that the temple is just left to its own devices?" "You still don't know about the Temple of Light, the temple is only the faith of the people, and it will never interfere in politics, no matter who is the king, as long as the temple stands tall and the people's faith remains unchanged, he will never make a move."
Sheng Xuan's mind was racing, quickly weighing the pros and cons, when he heard the name Gatiaro, he already had the intention of participating in it, and when he heard that there was such turmoil in the country of Omar, he saw a lot of benefits.
If he helped the royal family turn the tide at this time, wouldn't he be able to exchange it for a hundred mages and some grain and grass? Although there is no guarantee that the food and grass will last long, the urgent need can always be relieved, and when the fortified city of the Berserk Swamp is broken, it will be equivalent to opening the way to attack Calais, and when the time comes, the Orcs will usher in a real rise when they take the Red Kanguna Plain in one fell swoop.
"I can help you!" Sheng Xuan's words suddenly made Julio's eyes light up, but the light in his eyes only flickered but immediately dimmed, "You can't help me, besides, if I borrow troops from you, it is the army of orcs, and even if we can successfully keep the royal family and quell this rebellion, I will be charged with colluding with foreign enemies to kill my compatriots." ”
Sheng Xuan couldn't help frowning after hearing this, he knew the concerns in Julio's heart, he was afraid that he would wave his army straight into Omar, and wait until the victory to quell the rebellion but not withdraw the troops, and then he would end up with the bitter fruit of luring the wolf into the house.
"I can sign an agreement with Omar on behalf of the orcs, and we will be allies forever, besides, I will not send troops in the name of the orcs, you must know that I am the leader of a mercenary group, and I am a mercenary group that has just been promoted to the S rank!"
These words finally really ignited Julio's hope, and he couldn't help but sit up straight, staring at Sheng Xuan with his eyes, "Mercenary group, why didn't I think of it?"
"Hire a hundred mid-level and above mages, some grain and grass, and an alliance with Omar. He put the entente at the end, obviously not optimistic about such a piece of waste paper, just trying to fight for it, "That's all?" "Yes, that's all!" Seeing Sheng Xuan's calm answer, Julio began to ponder carefully, shaking his head and sighing for a while, and then rekindling the flame of hope.
But in the end, he made up his mind again, "Even if I can hire some mercenaries now, plus my own team is only a few hundred thousand, I can barely keep myself, how can I fight against the seven principalities?"
"If the temple makes a move, how sure do you think it will be to quell this rebellion?" "Temple?" Julio knew that Shengxuan had already targeted Gatiaro, but he really couldn't think of any reason for the temple to make a move, even if the former participated in the secular mutiny as a temple elder, as long as he resigned as the Grand Elder, the temple would have no excuse to intervene.
"How could the temple have made a move? If they were willing to do it, it wouldn't be the situation they are in today. "What if Gatiaro secretly cultivates dark magic?" Sheng Xuan's words were like a thunderbolt crashing above Julio's head, instantly making him sit up, "What you said is true?
"Not only does he practice dark magic, but he's also Big Brother Regg's father-killing enemy. Hearing this, Julio's face suddenly changed drastically, and his eyes couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Sheng Xuan, but he immediately avoided it after just a glance, as if he was hiding the secret in his heart.
After listening to Sheng Xuan's personal description of the tragic vendetta, Julio slowly calmed down, then grabbed the wine bottle next to him and poured it hard, "I am close to Reg as brothers and sisters, his hatred is my hatred, Gatiaro will definitely not let you succeed this time, not only will you be ruined, but you will also pay for your blood debts!"
"What should we do now?" Julio put down the bottle and asked, but Sheng Xuan only smiled and did not answer his question, because the former man's mind was probably already in his heart.
Julio stood up violently and wanted to call the butler outside the door, but before he could speak, he stopped, looked at Sheng Xuan and said, "Although it is true that Gatiaro cultivates dark magic, how can we prove it? ”
"I, as long as I appear in front of him, I am afraid that he will immediately lose control, because I have not only seen him perform dark magic with my own eyes, but I am also his enemy who killed his son!" Sheng Xuan said as if he was expressionless, but a raging fire had already ignited in his heart, and the tragic scene of that day appeared in front of him again, and now he has brought down Gatiaro, but the brothers who were once like brothers and sisters have no chance to see it.
"Okay, but it's a gamble, and if we lose, we're doomed. "What are you afraid of at this time? You don't have much to bet on, so just give it a go!" "Okay, here's coming!" Hearing this, Julio didn't hesitate, and immediately prepared to arrange it in front of Sheng Xuan.
Then Julio reopened a bottle of spirits and poured a full glass for a few people, "I knew that Brother Shengxuan was my lucky star, and sure enough, as soon as you came, it brought me hope, but with Gatiaro's status, I am afraid that not many people believe that if he can get a soul spar and extract the memories of the people present that day in front of everyone, he can implement the crime of cultivating dark magic, but it's a pity that the soul spar is too rare, hey, it's a pity!"
Hearing Julio's words, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but move in his heart, he hadn't seen the matter of extracting his memory, didn't Brother Yanzun give him a map extracted from his memory that day? Thinking of this, he hurriedly rummaged through the ring, and after a while, he took out a crystal, "Is the soul crystal you said this memory crystal?"
