Chapter 689: Actions of the Parties
The accommodation in the hotel is very stable, whether it is the white dragon Alexis or the dark elf Celian is the kind of person who likes to be quiet, even dinner is brought to the room by the waiter to enjoy, and the two of them also sit quietly in the room at night, Alexis is observing the layout of the whole city through the window, and Celian is sitting in the room and meditating quietly.
Alexis overheard some news when she was staying at the hotel today, that is, a few days ago, a caravan outside the city was attacked by the undead, and now the battle with the undead in the western part of the continent continues, but it is a bit surprising that the undead can penetrate into such a distant area, and what surprises Alexis even more is that there are many people talking about the fact that when the caravan was attacked, there were five unknown warriors who could fight against hundreds of undead with the strength of five people.
And some people even swore that the five warriors in gold and silver armor could turn their hands into blades and manipulate chains as if they were alive.
Hearing this, Alexis already knew who the other party was talking about, as the white dragon guard Alexis was also ready to make a report to Arin, but the magic guide unexpectedly lost its effect, when Alexis was puzzled to check, she found that the carved circuit inside the magic guide was burned by the magic backflow, and when Alexis accidentally found the stone pillar standing in the middle of the city, she finally knew the reason.
The city has established a puzzle lock, and it also has the ability to block the communication of the magic guide, and if the communication magic guide is forcibly used at this time, the result will be irreversible damage to the magic guide due to the reverse current of mana.
In desperation, Alexis had no choice but to put the damaged magic guide back into the spatial ring.
In order to guard against the three angels, Alexis stayed up all night until dawn the next day before continuing her journey with Serien, but early in the morning, the White Dragon Guards saw a large group of Templars from the Holy Capital passing by the road outside the hotel, and one of the red-haired female knights on a horse caught Alexis's attention, a paladin who believed in Bosimon, the god of fire.
The paladin on the horse also seemed to notice Alexis's gaze, and the paladin was slightly stunned when he looked back. Then he smiled back at Alexis.
"It's time for us to go. ”
In order to avoid conflict with the Holy Capital, Alexis took Celian to find the convoy in the city north of the city, thinking that they could stay away from the unstable factors of the Holy Capital and Angels, but when they were about to arrive at the Kingdom of Zegus, the convoy was stopped for a temporary inspection, and in addition to the army of the secular kingdom, there were also Templars from the Holy Capital.
I found out after inquiring. I don't know when the cultists built a demon altar in the lake here, and there was a cultist attack on the caravan before, although the altar has been destroyed, but after all, this is a key border between the Kingdom of Corvado and the Kingdom of Zegus, in order to prevent another tragedy, the two countries have jointly strengthened patrols and inspections on the road.
Alecis lamented that she was unlucky to sneak away with Celian by the guards who were inspecting, after all, Celian was once the priest of the Goddess of the Moon, one of the five supreme gods in the Holy Capital, and Celian was too conspicuous as a dark elf to be recognized.
And there was only one 'sincere deception' ring used for disguise, and Alexis couldn't be sure that she would take it off. Will any of the Templars and paladins in the Holy Capital be aware of their identity, and it would be better to stay away from this unwarranted disaster just to be on the safe side?
Since it was not far from the Zegus Kingdom, Alexis simply flew towards the Zegus Kingdom with Celian in her arms, as long as she did not return to her conspicuous dragon form, she had already flown in human form at an altitude of thousands of meters, and no one could find her trace at all.
Celian, who was carried by Alexis, couldn't help but sigh, but Celian, who had attached the 'Eagle Eye' to herself during the flight, also noticed that another Templar army was heading towards the kingdom of Zegus at full speed, led by the paladin of the god of fire.
Judging by the scale of the Templar transfer. Celian roughly judged that something big might be happening in the kingdom of Zeguth, but of course the Dark Elf Girl remained silent. Now the only thing I can do is to keep my secret, and I hope that the dragon who is escorting me will not take this opportunity to rob while it is hot.
Just as the forces of all sides began to march towards the Zegus Kingdom, in the Bluebell Territory of the Zegus Kingdom, Princess Haidai, who had spent several days in bad news one after another, finally looked forward to a good news, that is, the late Count Raymond's son Patel had finally been found.
"Your Royal Highness, it's great to see you┉┉" Inside the Lord's Mansion. Patel, the son of Count Raymond and the next lord of the Bluebells Domain, couldn't help but burst into tears as he looked at the familiar and beautiful figure in front of him.
"I'm Patel too~ I'm glad you're safe. ”
Hai Dai, who is also the heir of the prince and earl, returned safe and sound, and a big stone in her heart finally landed.
Count Raymond used to be a strong supporter of Princess Haidai, and as the son of the earl, Patel naturally recognized Her Royal Highness the princess who had visited the Lanling Territory several times, although now Patel's dress was already dirty due to continuous escape, but Haidai didn't mind anything at this emergency moment. Instead, he sat Patel down and discussed.
From Patel's mouth, Haidai learned that after the assassination in the lord's mansion, Patel, who is usually alert and intelligent, accidentally found that his father had been given a bag, and Patel, who had no time to contact Belum, had to flee in a hurry with a few cronies in order to avoid being killed by the other party. Originally, Patel was ready to flee to the royal capital and ask for help from the royal family and the holy capital, but he found that the territory had been blocked, and he didn't know if he would be attacked by cultists on the way, so Patel could only wander around in the bluebell territory for many days in a row, avoiding the guards who called the search for the real extermination.
After sending a message from the Lord's Mansion in Liberum, Patel finally realized that the situation might have changed and let one of his cronies return, and finally learned that Her Royal Highness Princess Haidai of the Zegus Kingdom had actually come to the Bluebell Territory.
"My father has passed away!!Is this true?Her Royal Highness Princess┉┉"
After realizing that his father had been dropped, Patel had already learned that his father was probably already unlucky, although he was mentally prepared, but after telling the truth from Princess Haidai's mouth, Patel still felt unbearable for a while.
He was only in his twenties, his father died young because of the conspiracy of cultists when he was still in his prime, his mother left him very early due to illness, and his father has also passed away now, for a time Patel's heart was full of pain and resentment, all because of these cultists, not only killed his father but also made people pretend to desecrate his father's dignity.
Belum made a knightly salute and said excitedly: "I'm really sorry Young Master Patel, it's all my fault for being negligent for not being aware of the cultist's schemes. ”
"Patel is sorry! By the time I arrived at the Bluebells Territory, it was too late, please cheer up, the Bluebells Territory can't be without a Lord. ”
Although she knew that Patel was very sad now, Haidai would not let Patel inherit her father's position immediately, because there were still greater challenges waiting for her side, otherwise Patel would lose not only Count Raymond as his father, but even the entire Lanbell territory and family.
Under Princess Haidai's explanation, Patel finally learned about the crisis faced by the entire Lanling Territory, no! and even the entire Zegus Kingdom, some nobles and members of the royal family colluded with the cultists to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the biggest suspect was Her Royal Highness the Princess's brother tried to replace his sister as the king, and his father was purged by the cultists as a force that supported Her Royal Highness.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is actually colluding with the cultists, Princess, we must immediately convey this news to His Majesty the King, as well as to the Holy Capital! Even the Prince must not do such an appalling thing!"
The thought of his father's tragic death caused Patel to burn with anger.
Hai Dai shook her head, this time the matter is too complicated, if it is publicized, it may even shake the legitimate ruling nature of the royal family, for which Hai Dai must cooperate with Perenlius and Elcid and others, and it has been handled cautiously in the most hidden form.
Liaison, troop transfers, coups!
Because she had to get help from the Bluebells Territory, Haidai no longer concealed everything to Patel, and for a young lord in his twenties, a coup d'état was no joke. But Patel also understood the current situation after thinking carefully, if the demons and cultists were allowed to continue to wreak havoc, it would be impossible for the Bluebell Territory to be preserved after Zegus was destroyed, and everyone knew the path of no eggs under the nest.
And if His Royal Highness the Prince, who colluded with the cultists, succeeded, then not to mention how the Holy Capital would react, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the Prince would attack the traitors who were not loyal to him in order to consolidate the power in his hands at the first time, and then the Lanling Territory would definitely be the first to be attacked.
"Assist me Patel~ Now that everyone has no way out of each other, I swear that as long as I can successfully preserve the kingdom of Zegus, even if I sacrifice me, I will let your family continue to survive!" Princess Haidai looked at Patel and said deeply, every word seemed to beat his soul.
Patel, who finally weighed the situation, nodded, now that he was ready to send an arrow, he either survived or was crushed, and now there was no third option.
At this moment, a guard came over and whispered a few words in Princess Haidai's ear.
"Are the people from the Holy Capital here? Okay, I see!" )
