After that, the Twilight Forest was very calm -- but only on the surface, and in fact, if you zoom in on it, then the Twilight Forest is like the eye of a tornado, calm and calm, but the surroundings are already in chaos. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's been less than half a year since Yuren announced the return of the Knights of the End, but for many people, it seems like a long time has passed. It's no wonder that during this time, the Knights of the Last Dead have done so much, some of which have passed, but some of which are still in the present tense.

It was as if right now, outside of the "Eye of the Storm" in the Twilight Forest, almost the entire continent was frantically discussing one thing, and that was the surprise attack on Ashenvale by the Knights of the End a few days ago. For unknown reasons, the Knights of the End came out in a big way, reducing the entire Ashenvale and its surroundings to ashes. This is not an exaggeration in the literal sense, but a realistic portrayal. The original green, lush gray valley has become no different from its literal name after the attack of the Knights of the End. There was no snow, no trees, no grass, just gray stones and the thick ash that covered the ground, and I don't know what it was. There is a valley in Nuoda, except for gray and black, and there is no other color at all. Even the originally clear river was affected by this, and it was muddy for several days.

And this incident has made many countries a little uneasy, and they don't know what the Knights of the End is trying to do.

Although the actions of the Knights of the End were somewhat unexpected before, they were still within the predictable range after all, and even the homeless people in the streets knew about the matter between him and the king of the West, of course, there were many versions. There is the 1.0 official version of the king's envy and jealousy and hatred, and there is the 1.03 conspiracy version where Yuren actually plotted the disintegration of West from the beginning and used it to obtain his own best interests, and there is also the 2.0 romantic version of the fact that Yuren is in love with Her Royal Highness Princess O'Faryl at first sight, so he avenges her. In a word, the aristocracy has the saying of the nobility, and the commoner has the conclusion of the commoner. As for the Sith Empire, at first, many people looked at it with the attitude of justice defeating evil, but after You Lian slapped them hard, they found out that both sides had nothing to do with justice, and it was almost the same to say that black eats black. Therefore, everyone was not surprised by the conflict between the two sides.

But then, the "last thirty points" of the Knights of the End of the Month of the Moon's capital of the Arashi Country is a big surprise, the Arashi Country and the Late Knights are far from grudges and no enemies, and the Knights of the End of Yan are doing such a play, and no one knows what kind of drama they are singing. Fortunately, according to the information circulating in the Mage Association, it seems that the patriarch of the Kane family in Arashi's country provoked Yuren, so he suffered this disaster. Although this statement is a little hard to believe, it is still acceptable, after all, what is the status of the Kane family in the land of Arashi, everyone also understands, if it is to destroy the Kane family and take action on the capital of the country of Arashi, even if it is exaggerated, it can still be said in the past.

But this time, for the attack of Ash Valley, everyone couldn't understand it.

Ashenvale is a neutral area, strictly speaking, it is not under the jurisdiction of any country, and it is very steep, and it is rarely infested, so many people can't figure out why the Knights of the End would attack such a ghostly place, is there any secret buried here?

In fact, these people are not the most depressed, but the most depressed are the three countries bordering the Grey Valley, Kasai, Maran and Laldar, in the previous raid of the Knights of the End of the Grey Valley, due to the order of Yuren, five villages and three towns in each of the three countries were moved to the ground. This makes these three countries want to cry without tears, Holy grace is above, we have no grudges with the Knights of the End, and we don't have any nobles to find you trouble, why do you come to our trouble!

Of course, these complaints were private, and in public, people of status in all three countries invariably chose the same approach of the Church of Holy Grace, the Sith Empire, and even the Mage Guild -- that is, to make no comment on what the Knights of the Last Heaven had done, as if nothing had happened.

Of course, covering your ears and stealing the bell won't solve anything. The reason still has to be found, and the final result of the joint investigation of these three countries is only vaguely concluded that the goal of the Knights of the End is probably the Gray Valley or something hidden in it, and as for the disaster in their own country, it is purely a disaster that affects the fish in the pond. The evidence is also obvious, because according to the report, the Knights of the End have only swept the area around the Ashen Valley, and the farther away, even the cities that are already in their path, these people will not even look at them. And it can be seen that the Knights of the End obviously have some kind of purpose, but they have nothing to do with the three countries themselves.

Although the disaster that occurred in the Gray Valley left many people stunned, but in this way, they also saw the strength of the Knights of the End completely, in order to completely destroy the remnants of the First Age, Yulian dispatched almost all the elites under his command, and because of this, their fighting methods were also recorded by those who were lucky enough not to be destroyed in the city because of the distance. And when people from the three countries overlap their respective records for calculation, they can't help but feel a chill.

If their intelligence is not wrong, then there are already about 100 dragon knights dispatched by the Knights of the Final Yan this time, and among them, there are dozens of powerful mages, and their strength may even reach the level of archmages! (Because in this era, alchemists and mages are no longer distinguished, so the alchemists brought by Charlotte were also mistaken for mages by them) For this report on the combat power of the Knights of the End, the people of the Three Kingdoms did not deliberately hide it, and even had a taste of going with it, so soon, this report representing the most complete combat power of the Knights of the End of the Knights so far spread throughout the continent.

And almost all people's first reaction after seeing this report is to gasp, and the second reaction is to turn their heads and ask the people around them if this is a joke.

No wonder they reacted like this, a hundred dragon knights, not to mention anything else, that meant they had a hundred dragons! a hundred dragons!!

Even the Mage Association, which is proud of its magical civilization, has only three or five of them, and they are still sub-dragons. But even wurms are dragons, not rats, and the concept of what is the deterrent power of a hundred dragons has exceeded the limits of what can be imagined. But what many people can't figure out is that a hundred dragons or something, it will be very troublesome to raise. But according to the information they have so far from the Twilight Forest, that small place can't afford to raise a hundred dragons, right?

The question is legitimate, but the hundred dragons flying in the sky are not an illusion, but the contradiction is not the focus of everyone's concern, the focus of their current concern is ......... Is there any way to stop the Knights of the End?

For everyone, in a sense, the threat posed by the Knights of the End was the same as that posed by the Sith Empire, which had ambitions to expand its territory and even unify the continent. Although the former did not show any particularly strong willingness to expand, it was also stressful to hit wherever he wanted without even saying hello. Although the Knights of the End do not occupy the land, it is not an acceptable solution to turn the entire land into ashes.

In terms of military power, the Sith Empire still looks more powerful on the surface, under the leadership of the four gifted knights, the current number of the Sith Empire team has 400,000 people, and with the command of the gifted knights, it is almost invincible.

On the other hand, although the number of the Knights of the End is probably less than two hundred, the destructive power of the Dragon Knights is not necessarily much worse than that of the army of the Sith Empire. Plus they also have four talented knights (Yulian hasn't really shown his strength before, so it's a bit controversial.) But when he beat Sidwi violently in the Sith Empire, his position as a gifted knight was also secured), and there were even a large number of archmages, it is true that in the areas beyond the source, the power of the archmages will be weakened, but their strength is still not to be underestimated.

Therefore, there is only one problem in front of many people.

What should we do with the Knights of the End?

The deepest winter has passed, but for the nobles sitting at the table, dressed in fine clothes and with solemn faces, their winter has just begun.

"I don't think you're here to have tea and chat. ”

An old man sitting at the top of the table slapped the table dissatisfiedly, and then looked at the silent crowd around him.

"The actions of the Knights of the End have brought great harm to the entire continent, should we continue to sit idly by?"

Sitting in this room at the moment are the representatives of the northern countries of the entire continent, and every winter, they come here on behalf of their countries to hold a meeting of the Northern Alliance. Within this organization, countries coordinate, integrate and, as far as possible, harmonize their foreign policies. And this year's conference is obviously only one theme.

"Of course we didn't mean that. ”

Hearing this, someone finally retorted uneasily.

"However, the threat from the Sith Empire is still on its side, and we simply have no way to deal with the Knights of the End. ”

"yes, yes. ”

Hearing that person's words, many people present nodded yes.

"The Knights of the End are dangerous, but neither is the Sith Empire. In my opinion, it is better to focus on the Knights of the End, who don't know when they will attack them, than on the Sith Empire, which is actually heading north. It is true that due to the injury of Sidwi, one of the four generals of the Heavenly Damnation, the Sith Empire has temporarily stopped its invasion, but we cannot take it lightly! Because of the existence of the Silver King's Maiden Lintilot! It is true that she is currently dealing with affairs in the royal capital, but this is more due to the results of the approaching end of the year! When the Silver King Maiden finishes dealing with the accumulated affairs in the spring of next year, it is difficult to say whether she will continue to attack!"

"It is true that our country has sent an emissary to try to knock on the idea of the Silver King from the side, but the other party has not made a clear response to our peace signal, maybe she is just waiting for the spring flowers to bloom next year before continuing the attack!"

"The northern kingdom is no better than the south, and it is not strange for the Sisi Empire to avoid the cold winter and wait until spring to attack! And they can also take advantage of this winter to consolidate their gains, as for the next year? What other choice do we have in the face of the gifted knights?"

"Judging by the current strategy of the Sith Empire, it seems that they are planning to annex the lands around the Twilight Forest before encircling the Knights of the End. We'd love to see them fight, but at the cost of losing our territory, it's not worth it!"

"At present, the attitude of the Sith Empire and the Knights of the End is not clear about each other! We have no way to make a proper judgment on this! The Knights of the End have even launched an attack on the internal territory of the Sith Empire before, but the Sith Empire still has no intention of making a move, I think it is dangerous to pin our hopes on both of them!"

"I remember that there was no information before that there seemed to be such an inexplicable relationship between Lintillot and Yulian, everyone knew what that guy did in the Sith Empire at that time, and he even gave Sidwig a sword in front of the Silver King! ”

"What does it mean?"

Hearing this, none of the people present were a little surprised.

"You mean ........."

"Please don't forget, the silver king is not only one of the four generals of heaven, she is not just a princess, she is also a woman! A woman, she always has to get married! And Lintilot's beauty, I think everyone has seen or heard of it, coupled with her skill and strength in governing the country, even if such a woman rules the Sith Empire, if she gets married, what kind of man should she go to?"

“..................... What do you mean, don't you mean......... The Silver King's Daughter is planning to marry the Knights of the End?"

As soon as these words came out, the venue immediately shook.

"Holy grace is above, how is this possible!?"

"How is it impossible? In terms of strength, Commander Yulian is also a gifted knight, and judging from his battle with Sidwig, his strength is not inferior to the four generals of Heaven's Damnation, or even far surpasses it. From the perspective of the Silver King, they must not want to be enemies of each other! Moreover, the Knights of the End are not good men and women, and it has launched many violent and cruel battles, plus at present, it seems that they have no territorial ambitions, and they do not conflict with the goals and interests of the Sith Empire at all, so it is not surprising that they are trying to marry!"

"However, such a decision will definitely attract opposition within the Sith Empire, and Yulian has already attacked the cities of the Sith Empire in the Sith Empire before! Such a person wants to marry Lintilott, I'm afraid the people of the Sith Empire will not agree!"

"But we can't ignore the popularity of the Silver King's Daughter! And in fact, this accident within the Sith Empire, although Yulian was hated by many people, no one at all commented on the Silver King's Daughter's practice! If Lintillot really had this intention, then even if the people opposed it, it wouldn't last long!"

"In that case, will we have to face both sides of the Sith Empire and the Knights of the End?"

For a while, the venue became a little chaotic, and looking at such a scene, the old man led by coughed coldly, which made the somewhat chaotic venue quiet again. He looked solemnly at the crowd around him, then looked down.

"So, my lord, what is the opinion of the Church of Holy Grace?"

Hearing the old man's words, he sat down at the bottom, and a man in a robe stood up. Then he smiled and nodded to everyone.

"Indeed, as you have said, the current situation is very critical and has the potential to become even more difficult. From the point of view of the Church of Grace, it is certainly not a good choice to face both sides at the same time. I suggest that we turn our attention to the Knights of the End first, after all, the Sith Empire has no time to invade at the moment, but the evil of the Knights of the End is everywhere. ”

"So, my lord, what do you have to say?"

"We can't solve this problem alone. ”

At this, the cardinal paused for a moment, and then showed a smug smile.

"The opinion of the Church is that we can submit the crimes of the Knights of the Last Days. ”

"Crime submission? what do you mean ........."

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed slightly.

"That's right. ”

The cardinal nodded slightly.

"We need to let people from all over the continent fight with us, this is the best plan at the moment. ”

At this time, Yuren in the Twilight Forest is not interested in caring about the problems of other countries, because he has his own problems to deal with, which is why he is sitting in his study right now, watching the two unlucky guys standing in front of him.

At this moment, Viscount Bird smiled wryly, helpless. It's no wonder that after the previous siege of the refugees, Yuren sent a letter directly to the nobles, asking why they didn't manage the refugees in their own territory, and caused them to cross the border and invade the territory of the Twilight Forest.

As for Yu Lian's inquiry, the Bird family naturally did not dare to slack off, and they immediately responded as quickly as possible, and at the same time once again sent their left and right hands as a sign of sincerity.

"I've read the letters. ”

You Lianyi stretched out his finger and threw the letter paper in his hand on the table.

"Frankly, I'm not happy with this explanation, but given the sincerity of your response, I'll accept it. ”

"I'm really sorry, Lord Yuren, but I will do my best to restrain those refugees when I go back and make sure that nothing like this happens again. ”

"I can assure you that this is just an exception. ”

"Good. ”

Yulian nodded, much to Viscount Bird's relief, but then he quickly became nervous again.

"There's something I want you to do, though. ”

"Yes, my lord, what do you command?"

"You should investigate the cause of the refugees' stirring this time. ”

"Of course. ”

Viscount Bird nodded hurriedly, in fact, this is not a disguise, after knowing the actions of those refugees, the Bird family has already begun to investigate.

"Then, I have a request, when you investigate, I hope you can focus on the residents of Kingfisher Town, by the way, it is better to arrest those who have positions and investigate carefully. ”

"This ......... Of course, there is no problem, but do you have a clue about it?"

"No, I just want you to investigate them under this pretext, it doesn't matter if these people say they know or not, my request is that they be imprisoned and imprisoned under this pretext. By the way, torture is fine, but don't kill people, see what I mean?"

"I see, sir. ”

Viscount Bird hurriedly responded, but he was still a little curious.

"But, my lord, since these people have nothing to do with refugees, what are you doing with them?"

"You catch it, you don't have to send it to me, you just keep it for yourself. It's just that it's up to me to decide when to put it. ”

As he spoke, Yulian smiled and narrowed his eyes as he stared at Viscount Bird in front of him.

"And as for my purpose...... You don't need to know. ”
