Sank looked up and shook his head, ignoring the cacophony of nobles in his ears.

As a clerk, Sanker had been working here for ten hours straight, but he did not feel tired, and all he had recorded from the rising of the sun to the present day was exciting good news.

The rebellion in the southwest was quelled, the war in the east was won again, the north was as stable as ever, the power and land of the empire expanded again, slaves, population, cities, and loot were recorded on the parchment in front of the clerk, which made him can't help but feel excited, as an imperial person, there is nothing more exciting than watching the empire grow stronger, so now although his hands are already trembling slightly, the old clerk does not care. He put down his quill pen, picked up the hot towel beside him, and applied it to his hands, then wiped off the water stains on his hands—and at that moment the noisy noise of the nobles suddenly stopped, as if these fat-headed and big-eared fellows had been choked by a large, invisible hand in an instant. Sanker was already surprised by this scene, he looked up, and then saw four figures he was familiar with through the door and into the conference hall.

The leader is a delicate and slender girl, the long golden shawl hair swayed slightly with her movements, the brown eyes are full of indifference and calm, unlike the pampered noble ladies among the nobles, she is wearing a silver armor, the white cloak flutters with the wind, a simple and unremarkable long sword hangs on the girl's waist, the black scabbard looks a little out of proportion, but the girl obviously doesn't care about this, she just raised her head, looking at the people in front of her equally, and under her gaze, the nobles who talked about it before all bowed their heads, to show her respect in his own way - it is not for nothing that the beautiful blonde hair of the maiden is rumored to be like a crown.

Behind the girl was a majestic old man, whose bronzed skin and rock-like face made him exude an irresistible coercion just by standing there. He was two meters tall, and his heavy black armor wrapped around his body like the steel teeth of a beast, making the old man look like a moving mountain. A man-tall heavy steel shield and one-handed sword hung from the old man's back, completely unhindered his movements. Although the old man's gray beard and eyebrows showed that he was old, looking at those shining eyes, absolutely no one would despise his power because of this.

Walked in after the old man was a young and handsome young man, whose handsome face and charming eyes like sapphires had already made him the most admired man among all the ladies and ladies in the entire royal capital. Unlike the first two, he was not wearing armor, on the contrary, a straight, well-made aristocratic tuxedo perfectly set off his tall figure, and the luxuriously decorated silver-white sword looked more like a prop than a weapon used by nobles for show, but almost everyone knew that this sword was far more powerful than it looked. At this moment, he was entering the room with an elegant demeanor that was almost impossible for ordinary humans, and from the pair of slightly pointed, triangular ears, it was clear that he was a half-elf.

The last one to walk in was a young girl, unlike the first three, she was not wearing any luxurious clothing and armor, on the contrary, a pitch-black tight-fitting leather jacket wrapped around the body that did not look yet mature, not only that, three wide belts were bound to the girl's body, binding her arms behind her back, and a pitch-black eyeband completely covered the girl's eyes, and she couldn't see anything at all. And even so, the girl's movements were still like a ghost and ethereal into the hall, she tilted her head from side to side, and her long brown hair swayed slightly, giving people a delicate feeling. However, when you see the four swords behind her that are also wrapped in belts and tied to the long swords behind her back, absolutely no one will think that this is an easy character to deal with.

The appearance of the four people in front of them immediately suppressed the original noise in the hall, and almost no nobles dared to speak at this moment, they almost unanimously glanced at each other, and then most of them turned away, leaving only a small number of members. It is the same no matter how noble their status is, no matter how great their power is. Because these four people in front of him are the four generals of the Empire - and the people of the Sith Empire proudly call them the "Four Masters of the Empire".

"Report the situation. ”

"The Silver King" Lintillot didn't waste time, and after sweeping through everyone, she immediately spoke calmly. Hearing her speak, two nobles soon stood up respectfully.

"Report to Her Royal Highness, everything in the occupied territory is currently operating normally, the reserve troops and officials sent by the empire have entered the occupied area safe and sound, and there is no problem with the transfer of the territory. Privately, of course, the Orlut rebels have not stopped their operations, but according to your opinion, we have lowered the tax rate and adjustment of the occupied territories, and have guaranteed their autonomy to a certain extent. ”

"Good. ”

Hearing this, the girl in the silver armor nodded slightly.

"We must restrain our military and refrain from ugly acts that would tarnish the face of the Empire. In addition, I would like you to send people to contact the rebels again, the war is coming to an end, and we are not going to engage in meaningless attrition, if they are willing to give up resistance, we can sit down and negotiate, and give these rebel generals a certain degree of official position and status. Please tell them that I hope they will focus on the big picture, and now that the war is decided, the people can no longer afford another war. If they really think about the people of Orrut, then give up this stupid act of resistance. If they reject our terms for peace talks......... So, we have to go the other way. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"What is the situation on the Western Front?"

"So far, it's been fairly peaceful, although there is information that Faris has sent an emissary to the Night Forest, but so far, the Elven Queen has not made an official response. ”

"With the attitude of the elves, naturally they will not make any useful statements in this regard. ”

Hearing this, the "Wind Messenger" Kahlan smiled slightly, he turned around gracefully, and bent down to the princess in front of him.

"Your Royal Highness, if you agree, I am willing to lead the Wind Wolf troops to the Western Front to stabilize the situation there. ”

"I understand your feelings, but I'm sorry I had to veto your proposal, Kalanqing. ”

Saying this, Lintillot sighed lightly, and then she raised her head, and in those beautiful eyes, the figure of an old man was reflected.

"Nahias, can I ask you to go to the Western Front? The current empire does not yet have the strength to fight with the elven kingdom, although those elves who are indisputable should not act because of the crisis in the human world, but we still have to be careful, especially at the border junction between us and the Dark Forest on the Western Front, I don't want to have any disputes with the elves, but at the same time, we must be careful that our enemies will take some means that we don't want to see in order to force the elves into the war, so, Nahias, only you can handle such a complicated situation at the moment, are you willing to accept my commission？”

"Of course, Her Royal Highness. ”

As she spoke, Nahias raised her right hand, clenched her fist, and slammed it on her chest.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to ensure the stability and stability of the Western Front!"

"That's fine. ”

Hearing this, Lintillot showed a hint of a smile, and at the same time, an ethereal voice like a ghost slowly emerged.

"Lintilot, what is Sidwig going to do? War, where is the war?"

Although it was very impolite and disrespectful to call the princess by her name in front of the public, at the moment, the nobles of the Sith Empire did not have any sense of care, they had long been accustomed to the strange surname of this general, and naturally they did not plan to go up to touch the mold. Among the four generals of Heaven's Damnation, the Silver King and the Guardian Knight are the most loved and respected, but the Wind Messenger and the Puppeteer are different, especially the latter, you know, although she looks a few years younger than Lyntilot, but it is full of a terrible madness and tyranny, although she is always the most taciturn one in peacetime, but on the battlefield, as long as anyone who has seen her killing posture, they are all deeply shocked by this girl's ferocious murderous intent. What's more, the puppeteer has always had a weird surname, and once he provokes her, it will be a blood-spattered five-step ending. Because of this, even if this young lady's behavior will be a little out of line, but for the nobles, it can only be regarded as not seeing, after all, her life is still very precious.

Or it is precisely because it is his own life that it is very precious.

"I'm sorry, Sidwig, we won't have any more wars for a while. ”

Facing the last general, a wry smile appeared on Lintilott's face.

"We still have more than two months left in the truce agreement with the royal family of Orrut, and I hope that in these two months, you can lead the construction force and Kalanqing to continue the operation of encircling the royal capital of Orrut, we do not want to leave a fire of instability for the future turmoil, so the task of the two of you is very important. As for the West's side........."

At this point, Lintillot paused for a moment, then raised her head and looked at a nobleman in front of her.

"What is Father's attitude?"

"Your Majesty's attitude is the same as before, Your Highness. ”

Hearing Lintillot's words, the nobleman hurriedly replied.

"As you might expect, Your Majesty wants to be able to reach an alliance with the Kingdom of West as much as possible without bloodshed, and of course, West V is a timid and cautious man, and because of this, perhaps this will not go as smoothly as we think. ”

Hearing this, the Silver King lowered her eyes, a trace of helplessness and sighs flashed inside, and then she asked again.

"What's the response from the Mage Guild?"

"The Mage Society, as before, has not expressed any opinion on this matter, and remains neutral with the Church of Holy Grace......... But it's hard to say how long this neutrality will last. We have also consulted with the Mage Guild about the source, but they have not agreed to our terms. ”

“......... In this case, then our strategy will remain unchanged for the time being, and continue to state to the Mage Guild that we have no intention of fighting with the Mage Guild, but we also hope that they will not take the initiative to get involved in our war, once the Mage Tower attacks us, then the Sith army will be forced to attack the Mage Guild in defense, I think this situation is not something that both sides want to see. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Saying this, the Silver King couldn't help but sigh, she reached out and pressed her forehead, frowning slightly. And just then, a gentle voice appeared in her ears.

"Please don't push yourself too hard, Your Highness the Princess. ”

With that, a white handkerchief was handed to Lintillot, and she looked up to see Karan's elegant, gentle smile.

"You have been fighting with the barbarians for a long time, and you must be very tired, in the opinion of your subordinates, you need to take a good rest and recuperate your body. After all, you are the most important person in the kingdom after His Majesty, and if you break your own body, it will not be a good thing for our kingdom. Moreover, in the opinion of your subordinates, it is not worth your own battle as a barbarian. ”

Noticing the young general's actions, the faces of everyone present became a little unnatural, even Nahias, who had been silent, showed a little dissatisfaction on his face, not to mention that Sidwig, who was standing behind them, snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction. Although the four generals of Heaven's Damnation are all famous outside, the reputation of each general is different, and the silver king's daughter, Lintilot, is brave and decisive, and she is the most beautiful among people. And the guardian knight Yas is fair and strict, and has won the trust of everyone. But the reputation of this wind messenger is not very good, it is rumored that he likes women, in the empire, many girls have been poisoned by him, and it is also rumored that this talented knight's favorite is actually one of the four generals of the empire, Her Royal Highness Lintillot, but although Karan has confessed his feelings to Lintillot many times, it is obvious that this royal highness has not listed it as a target for consideration.

"However, war is always bad. ”

The Silver King shook her head and tactfully pushed the other man's hand away.

"I want to be able to exchange victory for the least casualties, for the sake of the entire empire, for the sake of my subordinates and soldiers, this is what I should do as a general. Even if the other party is a barbarian, as long as we have enough patience, time and strength, then I think they will eventually reach a more harmonious agreement with us. ”

At this, Lintillot waved her hand, as if she did not intend to continue the conversation. Undeterred by the rejection, Karan shrugged his shoulders and smiled charmingly, before reasserting his handkerchief in his arms.

"What is the current situation in the Kingdom of West, and are there any changes?"

"The Guardian Shield, one of the three legions of the kingdom, has been stationed in the Red Fortress and has begun to build fortifications, while the movements of the other two legions have not changed for the time being, and in the eyes of the subordinates, there is no special problem. Interestingly, though, there was an interesting rumor in the Kingdom of West some time ago. ”

"Rumors?"

Hearing this, not only Lintilott's eyes widened in curiosity, but even the other two who had been silent turned their heads and looked at Karan.

"What rumors?"

"It is rumored that within the Kingdom of West, there is another genius warrior who has become a high-level swordsman at the age of twenty......... It's such a rumor........."

"If there is such a person, how come we have never had any intelligence?"

Hearing this, Lintilott's eyes became a little intriguing. A twenty-year-old high-level swordsman can also be said to be a genius, and may even be a gifted knight. But there are many problems in this way, you know, the Sith Empire did not make less effort to collect intelligence before the war, and it still has a relatively clear grasp of the intelligence of various countries, if there is really such a talented warrior in the Kingdom of West, then it is impossible for them to get no information at all, and they can only rely on rumors to guess as they are now.

"According to the rumors, that man is a noble lord who came out of the twilight forest, from a down-and-out noble family—what a very interesting story, isn't it? I think such a story can indeed attract the attention of many people, and maybe in the future war, some genius boy will lead the people to stand up and fight against us. ”

However, unlike Lintilott's cautiousness, Karan was rather calm, and it was clear that he did not take the matter to heart. It's just a casual chat after a meeting. And it is not surprising that he has such a reaction, after all, right now, the Kingdom of Orrut is close to destruction, and the Kingdom of West naturally has to worry about itself. However, in the Kingdom of West, the three major legion commanders are only the level of high-level warriors, and naturally there is no way to compare them with gifted knights. And the Kingdom of West obviously didn't want to lose to its enemies in terms of momentum first, so it staged such a play, and the purpose was naturally to let the people see expectations. After all, a twenty-year-old high-level swordsman is quite rare, and those who have a heart can contact the body of a gifted knight as long as they think about it, and because of this, as long as it is properly promoted, even if the Sith Empire wins at the beginning, it will not deal a fatal blow to the morale of the Westster Kingdom, and those people will expect to wait for that young high-level swordsman to become a gifted knight to lead them in battle.

"That's true. ”

Hearing this, a hint of clarity flashed across the face of the Silver King's Maiden. She naturally guessed this, but for Her Royal Highness, such a small obstacle was not a big problem.

"However, the Westster Kingdom will fail sooner or later if it only relies on playing this little trick, and we don't need to care too much about these rumors. I hope you will pay more attention to Orrut than West, after all, this war is not completely over at the moment, and we need to be vigilant to prevent any problems......... Then ............"

With that, Lintillot stretched out her right palm and placed it flat on her chest.

"All for the Sith. ”

"All for the Sith. ”

What followed was the solemn, serious response of the others.
