Chapter 677: A Thousand Threads (Part II)

"The Testir family asked Nakhtigar to take action against the Centaur Great Khan, and this matter has nothing to do with me. I'm just going to perfect my extraordinary sword skills by hunting down the Legendary Centaur and pave the way to the Legendary Realm. ”

Sylvia said this, and Roland still did not admit that he had set up a trap to trap Nakhtigar.

The implementation of the plan is always changed by the change of the situation, and the planner first thinks about how to turn the consequences of the failure of the plan into his own advantage, if he has to get things to the point of life and death, either he is at the end of the road and can only fight to the death, or he is a complete fool.

Take the grievances between Nakhtigar and the six major paladin families as an example, although Nakhtigar is the last paladin family, they have the Pope as a backer, in charge of the "Little Holy See" Guardian of Light, with the status of the El royal family, and their status is transcendent, and they can be called above ten thousand people under one person.

For thousands of years, Nakhtigar has acted as an arbiter and mediator for the paladin family, and the king of El convened the Imperial Council, which was attended by the leaders of the six major paladin families. The ranking of the paladins, Nakhtigar is almost decided, and of course the Knights of Radiance and the Templars are firmly controlled by them.

The rise of the Testiel family has broken the inherent pattern of the paladin family.

Thanks to the Sword Saint Draven, Testil has become a family of tempest paladins, and they can do things that other paladins can't. The Radiant Knights encircled and suppressed the powerful orc tribe, which originally cost and sacrifice, but Tystiel took advantage of the Tempest Paladin to easily decapitate the powerful monsters, allowing more paladins, battle priests, and paladins to survive.

Scouting, decapitation, supporting, containment, and deterrence, Testiel's feats and growing prestige have become an indispensable tactical core of the Radiant Knights. The paladin clan naturally rallied around them.

The military-political bloc headed by Testir gradually took shape, and no one went to the Imperial Council in Nakhtigarh anymore.

The contradiction between the Pope and the Knights of Radiance is becoming more and more prominent. More than 1,500 years ago, the Pantheon wizards rioted as an opportunity for a formal showdown between the two sides. As a result, the Pope was defeated and removed from the supreme throne of the Holy See. Nakhtigarh is gone, and the Guardians of Light are marginalized.

During the Holy City Rebellion more than three hundred years ago, it was true that Nakhtigar wanted to support the Pope to return to the throne, and it was also true that the Knights of Darkness and Radiance were also true.

If the plan succeeds, Nakhtigarh will return to the center of power in the Holy See, and if the plan fails, the clergy sympathetic to the pope will be completely purged, and the pope will fall into the hands of Nakhtigar. And Nakhtigarh's planning of the Holy City Rebellion itself is a statement to the Knights of Radiance:

We have always been the last paladin family in the ranks, you can't do anything with us, if you can't satisfy us, we can continue to make trouble for you, so that you will never have peace.

For more than three hundred years, Nakhtigarh remained at their duty, and the Knights of Radiance must have reached some kind of tacit agreement with them.

The point is, what exactly is the agreement between the Knights of Radiance and Nakhtigar?

Both Victor and Sylvia want to figure this out. More than ten years ago, Nahtigar instigated Neowest to restore the Rand Empire, which led to the fall of Roland's father, and the Knights of Radiance did not react strongly, but tried to calm the impact of this incident.

The attitude of the church is intriguing, and it also reveals a hint of it.

A few years ago, the pattern of the Kingdom of Gombis opening up the southern continent had been formed, but Nakhtigarh asked Neowest to develop towards the barren Eastern Alliance.

Neowest finally took the eastern three provinces of Gombis, and Nakhtigarh told him to give up the territory of the Rand Empire and the strategically important land of the shores of Lake Fez, how could Neowest agree?

The Eastern Alliance is an important source of income for the Inquisition, and it is also the main channel for the Radiant Knights to exert influence on Seuss and Borui, how could they possibly cede the Eastern Alliance to Nakhtigar?

Reluctant to move to the Eastern League, Neowest met with Victor privately in hopes of joining the Southern Extension camp. Pope Clement and the Paladin family of Rael Garrell have been able to draw bridges from this, which is enough to explain a lot.

Victor became suspicious at the time and tested Neowest, asking him to end the Rand Empire first and join the Nantuo camp as an ordinary lord.

Neowest's loss of the title of Emperor of Rand would greatly reduce its value to Nakhtigarh. To this day, Neowest, who is bent on expanding south, has not given Victor a clear answer, and just dragged on.

It can be seen that Nakhtigar's influence in the Rand Empire is deeply entrenched, and it is not easy for the Neowest family to break free from their control.

It was already clear that the Knights of Radiance acquiesced in the development of secular power in Nakhtigar without hindrance, but without strong support. Because they were not happy to see Nakhtigar grow in influence, the two sides maintained a cold and hostile relationship on the surface.

The Knights of Radiance and the Guardians of Light are ostensibly opposed, so they are not the other hand of the Paladin family.

Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? In case the Pope returns to the throne, Nakhtigar can guarantee that the Knights of Radiance will not be liquidated.

After all, Nakhtigar is also a paladin, and they have a symbiotic basis with the paladin family.

Victor has his eye on the Eastern Alliance's coastline, and only by clarifying the intricate relationships within the church can he and Sylvia plan their plans.

The Centaur Great Khan attacked the eastern defense line of the Sassangian Empire, and Tystir led the Radiant Knights in the Sidon Khanate to annihilate the living forces of the Centaur tribe as much as possible, and could not escape. Patriarch Friedes actually asked Nakhtigar for help?

With His Highness Randall here, can't he wait for Turnans?

Victor didn't know what the Knights of Radiance were up to, but he believed that Nakhtigar's attack on the Centaur Great Khan must have something to do with the political situation in the Sassan Empire.

This is simply a prestige to Nakhtigar.

Due to certain manifestations of the Council of Shadows, things have become confusing, and Victor is willing to wait and see what happens, and will not rush into the battle for the throne between Barcelius and Frederick.

The Augustian family, who were personally involved in the Rebellion of the Holy City, know more details. Victor and Sylvia could think of anything, Roland could think of.

Look, what did she do?

In the name of revenge, in the name of revenge, he coerced Princess Freya Frederick and Her Royal Highness Oroxia to raid the unstable centaur army, and then won a great victory. Freya and Oroxia's reputation has skyrocketed, and one of them has even been promoted to legend, but neither of them can deal with the Knights of Radiance.

In other words, Roland's actions have complicated the situation in the Sassan Empire, and whether Barcelius or Freya ascends to the throne, it is not the result that the Knights of Radiance want to see. In order to weaken the powerful power of Freya and the Barcelius family, the Knights of Radiance must prepare a backhand as soon as possible.

Nakhtigar intercepted the centaur Great Khan, and it seemed imperative.

If he doesn't come, Roland will use the legendary centaur to hone his extraordinary skills. If he comes, Roland will definitely take revenge on him, if not Nakhtigar's opponent, and Victor.

Nakhtigar didn't come, it was Sylvia who came, and what didn't happen, Roland didn't need to admit it.

Sylvia didn't come to blame Roland, she sighed, and said: "You have perfected your extraordinary combat skills, and with the reputation of slaying the centaur Great Khan, as long as you return to Gambis, you will immediately be able to impact the legendary realm and be promoted to a legendary knight like Orokxia." ”

The white and blonde hair floated slightly, Roland clenched his fists, looked at Sylvia with clear eyes, and asked lightly: "I refuse, you are here to kill me?"

Sylvia's flawless face showed a hint of regret, and she said faintly: "Giving up the identity of the eldest princess of Gombis means that you must re-establish the belief of the knight, not to mention the legend, even if the power of the golden knight, you can't use it for the time being...... The legendary realm that high-level knights dream of, you have at your fingertips. Are you really willing to give up all this and start all over again, and you won't regret being killed by me?"

Roland said resolutely: "You have seen the end of Lane....... he did not make me the crown prince of Gambis, so that I would not regret it, and so that his daughter could enjoy the joy of freedom...... My father has fallen, and I will not let down his hard work, which is also the common wish of our father and daughter. ”

"At least I'm still a legend...... It is a great honor for me to be able to comprehend the majesty of the gods and knights!" Roland said proudly.

"......Legendary?"

Sylvia curled the corners of her lips slightly, looked down at Victor's handsome face, and said, "The theory of the secret method of the soul and bloodline he proposed has made us see many things clearly, and it has also changed some of my thoughts...... Roland, you go back with us, serve as the guardian of the Gambis Empire, and when I return to the Elemental Sea, Victor belongs to you, how about it?"

Roland's momentum disappeared, his little face turned red, and he said with a smile: "You must have misunderstood...... I'm just curious...... Just curious. ”

Sylvia's azure eyes suddenly turned cold, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "You refuse my last kindness?"

If the House of York weren't important to Sylvia, she wouldn't exist in this world. As the spiritual sustenance of the Divine Knight, Sylvia will leave no stone unturned to propel the York family to the top. The annexation of the kingdom of Dordor to the north was originally an idea of the members of the Augustian family, but it was only under pressure from the Knights of the Gods that King Ryan Auguste put this unrealistic idea into action, which led to his own downfall.

The Kingdom of Cambis is still under great pressure from the Divine Knights, and the Faceless of the Kite Fortress uses the pawn of the Little Baron of Wimbledon and sends him to Sylvia's side, hoping that the Moon Elf nobles can relieve Sylvia's loneliness and try to prevent her from returning to the Elemental Sea early, so as to buy more buffer time for the Augustan royal family.

Master Tofowen's layout worked, even better than he had expected.

Victor deduces the secret method of the psychic bloodline, and strives to overcome the instinctive will in the elven bloodline. He will not leave the human realm to find his elven fellow after the death of his god knight companion, like the Sword Saint Draven. It was precisely because the House of York was under the care of His Royal Highness Randall that Sylvia was willing to accept the House of York as the descendants of the Gombis Empire, with August as the monarch.

Otherwise, Sylvia would only put the House of York on the throne of royalty, lest York be beaten to the dust by August after her fall.

Roland sought revenge on Nachtigar, and no one could criticize him. But as the eldest princess of Gombis, the guardian of the kingdom, she disregarded the overall situation and calculated Victor and Sylvia privately, which was simply audacious!

If Roland takes the belief of being the guardian of the kingdom and rises to the legendary rank and respects the rules from now on, Sylvia will be happy to see it, even if he kills Nakhtigar? Who would dare to use prophecy to arrange for the god knights?

However, Roland wanted to follow the example of August's ancestors and pursue the knightly belief of freedom and romance. After Sylvia's fall, Roland's extraordinary attraction may not be able to affect the position of His Royal Highness Randall, how could the York family deal with itself at that time?

Roland becomes a variable...... Sylvia's nasty variables.

The red face immediately returned to its white and lustrous luster, and the eldest princess Auguste was fighting and ready for battle.

Sylvia sneered, the frozen air instantly became warm like spring, looking at Roland, who was at a loss for what to do, her face was full of astonishment, she smiled and said, "Look at you scared...... Do you really think I can be used for whatever you want?"

Roland bit his lip and asked cautiously, "You're not killing me?"

Sylvia took out a parchment letter from the pouch around her armoured waist and threw it away.

Roland took the letterhead, unfolded it, and suddenly his heart fluctuated, and his eyes were red. There are only two simple words above:

"Ant Tide" and "Unknown Cataclysm".

"The bulletin of Patriarch Friedes and this handwritten letter from Master Toferwen reached me at the same time. Sylvia's red lips opened lightly, and she said lazily, "Tofowen begged me to let you go, and I agreed." I hope you will remember that everything in the Kingdom of Gombis is also a sustenance that you cannot give up, and one day, Gombis needs your strength, remember to come back. ”

Roland wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, ran over, ignored Sylvia's disgusted eyes, kissed her on the face, and said with a grin: "Then I'm really gone, I hope to see you one day." ”

"Wait. ”

Sylvia stopped Roland, who had turned away, stretched out her bright and slender palm to her, and said, "Leave the things behind." ”

Roland pouted, slowly walked back, put the purple gold coins and strange crystals in his pocket into Sylvia's hand, and hummed, "...... Stingy. I've left all the legendary centaurs to Victor. ”

Sylvia's starry eyes were bright, and she carefully looked at the strange crystal, but she said: "You faked your death and chose to run away." The Williams Regent has no choice but to finally make up his mind to storm the Elemental Sea. I think he'll probably be able to advance to the Golden Rank. In a sense, this is also the reward of the Great Prophecy after it spread to Lane. You left behind the legendary centaurs, but fate passed on the prestige you gave up to Williams August, who defended the kingdom for you. My husband doesn't owe you a favor. ”

Roland stared at the beautiful strange crystal, puffed out his cheeks, and said sourly: "Victor has many secret ......"

"It's all mine. Sylvia turned her hand and grasped the crystal, cut off Roland's eager gaze, and said with a smile: "His secrets belong to me, and they can only be revealed by me." Don't even think about it. ”

Roland sighed helplessly, mouthed at Victor, and said weakly: "He...... There were no clothes and no cloaks. ”

"What do you mean? On such a cold day, you want my man to lie naked on the grass?" Sylvia was furious, and her willow eyebrows tended to stand up.

Roland weakly explained, "You leave him the cloak, and when he wakes up, he will think that you killed me." ”

"So what? Don't worry, I won't tell him I've been here, and I'm not going to tell him where you're going. He has so many secrets to keep from me, and I just want to make him uncomfortable. Sylvia said disapprovingly.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You must not divulge my secret....... Victor resents you and has nothing to do with me." ”

Hearing this, Sylvia smiled coldly, "Even if I execute any of the Alina sisters privately, Victor will turn against me. Hehe, he won't ask me for verification, he will only guess by himself, pretend not to know, and he won't embarrass me. ”

"...... you're not his woman. Sylvia waved her hand impatiently, looked at Victor with gentle eyes, and said without raising her head: "Let's go quickly, Caligula is coming soon, don't disturb my short time here to take care of Victor." ”

Roland suddenly froze, flicked his ponytail, and swept towards the far side of the prairie with his bare feet.

The ornate and elaborate Mithril armor was covered with a statue of Princess Auguste condensed with ice crystals, lying quietly on the grass.
