Chapter 342: Before the Tide
readx;
The battle between the Knights of the Final Rites and the Sith Empire came to an end, and as expected, the Sith Empire withdrew from the Night City and retreated back to its own borders, which also meant the complete failure of the Sith Empire's external expansion plan. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But for a lot of people, it's not so much that they care about this, but after this fight, both sides showed some very strange moves. Many of them were silent about the war that had taken place in the Night City, even the soldiers, and although many people from other countries on the continent tried to get some information from them, they had no way of getting any useful information. The only information that can be obtained is that the top brass on both sides seem to have something wrong in that battle, and no one knows what the problem is.
Although he said that, people with good intentions still noticed something strange and abnormal, that is, after this battle, the legions that retreated to the Sith Empire were gone, and there was no trace of Lintillot. According to reason, it was originally in this kind of defeat that the silver princess should have come out to stabilize people's hearts, but after returning to the empire, it was Nahias who came forward to announce the news, and for Lintilott's disappearance, his explanation was that the princess was a little injured and needed to recuperate, and it was not suitable to go out to meet people for the time being.
Hearing this news, the emperor completely blew up inside and outside the country.
This news has to surprise everyone, you must know that since the debut of Her Royal Highness, there have been no less than 100 wars, no matter what the situation is, she can escape every time, and she has never been injured, and now, she is actually injured?
At this time, everyone was talking about it, but for this news, no one in the empire was surprised, although a long time ago, they also regarded the four generals of Heaven's Damnation as the most sacred and inviolable existence in their hearts, but the Knights of the Final Yan quickly slapped them with the facts, and the four talented knights, Kahlan was directly disfigured in the first confrontation, and was killed by someone for the third time. Sidwig was half-beaten in the first encounter, and lay on the bed for months before recovering. Nahias was no better, and just lost a hand. Three of the four talented knights didn't end well, and it's no surprise that Lintillot would be injured.
So now the people of the Empire are concerned about what kind of injuries our Royal Highness has suffered, whether she has been disfigured, or whether she has been severely injured like Sidwig, or whether there is some part of her body that has been given ............... For a while, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and all kinds of remarks were circulating in the streets and alleys of the Sith Empire, some people said that Her Royal Highness was seriously injured, and now the Emperor even asked the Holy Grace Church to send many priests to treat her at night. It is also said that Lintillot was disfigured and did not want to come out to meet people, so she chose to hide in the palace, and the emperor is now looking around for precious medicines that can treat her wounds, of course, these are absolutely secret. You don't know that my brother's uncle's wife's son's friend's girlfriend is a female official in the palace?
This time, the Sith Empire did not hate the Knights of the End as much as before, they were now more concerned about Lintilot, as Yulian thought, Lintilot was the pillar of the Sith Empire, and once she fell, then the problem would become very serious. In addition, the four talented knights of the Sith Empire were defeated in a connection, and they had lost their temper by the Knights of the End, so they were no longer entangled in this.
But for those outside the Empire, the news they wanted to hear was not like that, in their opinion, it would be better if Yuren and Lintillot were both dead, then it would never be perfect, but on the side of the Knights of the End they could not intervene, and no one in the Twilight Castle could easily enter except for the Spirit Maid, let alone investigate. Moreover, Yulian was not in charge of things like Lintillot in the first place, so the Knights of the End and the Twilight Forest were still operating as usual, and there was nothing unusual at all. This also made everyone very helpless, and it was strange to say that the people in the Sith Empire valued Lintillot the most, but the people in other countries valued Yulian the most. Because whether the former dies or not has little impact on them, but the latter doesn't die is much bigger............ "There is still no news of adults.........
Putting down the paper in his hand, O'Faryl sighed and rubbed his forehead.
She didn't know what was going on, because when Offariel woke up from a coma, the entire Order of the Last Knights had withdrawn to the Twilight Forest, and according to the report of the twin sisters, they had completed the task and done everything, but Yuren was missing, and where exactly he went, the twin sisters couldn't say, but because the spatial passage was opened, it was possible to go anywhere. Charlotte swears that Julien is not dead, because their contractual power is interconnected with Julien, and if Julien dies, then they will immediately return to the cemetery under the Twilight Castle, and there is no way to maintain the entity, even if there is a source. So from this point of view, there is no need to worry that Yulian will be in danger of his life.
But what happened next surprised Ofariel, because Charlotte asked her to act on behalf of Julien and continue to direct the actions of the Knights of the End.
"You are the master's adjutant, so you are naturally responsible for acting in the master's absence, although this kind of time is indeed rare, but there is no way to meet it now, so I will leave it to you next. ”
When Ofariel heard Charlotte give everything to herself in such a relaxed tone, her mind immediately went blank.
Holy grace on top, let yourself lead the Knights of the End?
O'Fariel never had such an idea!
But now, whether she had it or not, she had to do it, after all, as Charlotte said, she was the adjutant, and at some point she had to be responsible for giving orders in place of the commander and issuing duties to maintain the whole team -- but ...... What exactly is the duty of the Order of the End?
"I don't know. ”
Charlotte gave a rather irresponsible answer.
"Anyway, we're only responsible for carrying out orders and killing people, so let's have fun by the way, Miss O'Faryl, you can do the same, I promise you'll experience a wonderful new world, right?"
Although she had been "blackened" once, if it was to say that she had fun by killing people, O'Faryl definitely didn't have this hobby, she could only helplessly settle everything down for the time being, and then began to focus on another thing.
That is the relationship with the kingdom of Orrut, and Princess Shirley.
O'Faryl knew Shirley's thoughts, although she didn't know what Yulian thought, but presumably after the end of this war, he didn't plan to let Shirley really be the queen, of course, O'Faryl also agreed with this point of view, after all, Princess Shirley really has no political talent, although she is very qualified to be a puppet, but the thought of having to carry out long-distance indulgence from the Twilight Castle every day, O'Faryl feels tired, but fortunately, after the battle in the Night City began, Shirley has been hiding in the dragon knight squad and has not shown up, so O'Faryl is not without a way to settle this matter, after she wakes up, immediately found time for General Shawa to negotiate, and very "sadly" told the other party that Princess Shirley died in the battle of the Night City because of the encounter with the dark sword of the remnants of the Sith Empire, and now the people of the Kingdom of Orrut are unstable, hoping that he can preside over the overall situation -- of course, Ofariel did not forget to hint to General Shawa that Lord Yulian would be possible to "talk" with him later.
In the beginning, General Shawa still relied on his identity to try to overwhelm Offariel in negotiations, but how could the title of Flower of the Kingdom be in vain? After all, General Shawa thought that no one knew about the deal between him and Euphary, but he didn't know that Eulian had already discussed it with Offariel behind his back, and she knew what she should know, and she knew what she shouldn't know -- in this case, it was too difficult to trap Offariel.
In the end, General Shawa still had to nod and agree with Ofariel's opinion, and signed a cooperation agreement with her, of course, on the surface, there is nothing strange about this cooperation agreement, but as long as a discerning person sees it, it will be clear that once this agreement is signed, then the kingdom of Orrut will really become the backyard of the Knights of the End.
It's not that General Shawa doesn't know this truth, but he also knows that the Orlut Kingdom needs a strong backer, why were they invaded before? But the Knights of the End are different, they have the strongest force in the whole continent, no one is their opponent, and frankly speaking, in the kingdom of Orrut, the three most important wars are fought by the Knights of the End, and after the battle of the Night City, the Knights of the End retreated, and then the rebels also swept away some remnants of the generals, and finally earned some merits. But the thighs of the Knights of the End of Life still have to be fished.
As for the most important agreement, O'Faryl did not use his mind at all, and directly took the defense agreement signed with the Bird and the two families, and put it directly on the table after a few changes, so that from today onwards, a new member had to join the tragic defense agreement -- three times a year, depending on the mood of the people............ But fortunately, unlike the two great nobles, Olute is also a country, with depth and soldiers, and will not enter the center directly as soon as the border is broken through like the two families, so it is the most worry-free. And although Princess Shirley's "death" has been released, it has not shown much fluctuation, although in this war, she was the first to stand up, but after all, there are very few people who are familiar with her, and there is no popularity like O'Faryl, so everyone can only regret and regret, what to do after regretting. Of course, the next main thing is the process of fighting for power, and this part of Ofariel is not suitable for meddlers. It can only be left to General Shawa to solve it himself, but as long as he is smart enough, there should be no problem.
Although the agreement was signed, the scene that happened afterwards made O'Faryl quite unhappy, and at the subsequent reception, the lord of the border city, Lady Alnice, came to her in person, with a shy smile on her face, saying that she hoped that she could bring a message for herself, and invited Lord Yulian to come to the city at any time, and she welcomed her at any time............ Naturally, Offariel understood the meaning of these words.
He'd just die outside!
As soon as he thought of this, O'Faryl couldn't help but be angry.
"Knock knock. ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Charlotte walked in, and Ofariel looked up, but was surprised to find that the head maid, who always greeted people with a smile on her face, was now looking serious.
"Miss O'Fariel, Miss Mary is back. ”
"Mary?"
O'Faryl was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was the little mercenary that Yulian had played with before, and I heard that she was sent by Yulian to the headquarters of the Blue Feather Mercenary Group to carry out a mission, why did she come back now?
"Is something wrong?"
"I guess you'd better see for yourself. ”
Perhaps frightened by Charlotte's rare serious expression, Offariel nodded subconsciously, and then followed her out of the study.
Although she was already prepared, but when she saw Mary with her own eyes, Ofariel still gasped, she didn't know much about Mary, but she had met a few times, this girl had always been a very lively person in her heart. And now, lying on the bed, the pale mercenary girl no longer has the vitality and vitality she used to have, and looks like a dead person.
"She's mortally wounded, and if it's any longer, I'm afraid she won't be able to save her......"
"It's a shame to let my sister pick up a cheap one, and it should be mine......"
The expressions of Messiah and Semiya were the same as always, but if anyone looked at the twin sisters at this moment, they would probably be wide-eyed, because at this moment the two sisters were holding hands, and at the same time clutching a broken arm!
"But......... What the hell is going on?"
Offariel couldn't help asking, and at this moment, hearing her voice, the mercenary girl opened her eyes with difficulty.
"Oh, Miss O'Faryl........."
Mary struggled to speak, and immediately after a violent cough, she persisted.
"Please, please find Yuren-sama, I have something very important to report to him!"
And at this moment, in the palace of the Sith Empire, in that white and immaculate room, the Sith Emperor was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, playing with an intricately crafted chess piece in his hand.
"Lintillot ........."
He muttered to himself, then flicked his hand and threw the piece away.
"I really didn't expect such an accident to happen........."
The Emperor sighed, but soon, he opened his eyes and looked into the corner of the room. The place that was originally empty was now standing a person, a person wrapped in a cloak all over his body.
"I've heard that, Legger. ”
The man spoke, his voice crisp and nice.
"You look like you've lost a lot this time........."
"That's true. ”
The Sith nodded at the comer's words, then closed his eyes again.
"But it's all in my plan. ”
"It's within our plans. ”
The man spoke again.
"You've succeeded in bringing out the Knights of the End, and that's enough for us, Legger, and I don't mind you achieving your own goals based on our wishes, but I want you to understand that things are prioritized, and now that you've done what you can, I'll do it myself to compensate for your losses. ”
"You're going to do it yourself?"
Hearing this, the Sith Emperor asked with some surprise.
"But ............"
"Things have changed, and I have more important things for you to do. ”
The man interrupted the Emperor's speech and spoke coldly.
"I've got a special piece of information that those who once tried to destroy our world are back again! This time, I need your strength, and I want you and your men to cooperate with me. ”
"The demons?"
Hearing this, the Sith the Great immediately stood up.
"They're coming?"
"According to my information, they should be here, Legger, I want you to go to the Blue Feather Mercenary Group immediately to find out the specific location of these people, and I will personally destroy them!
As he spoke, the man pulled off the cloak on his body, and in this white room, the dazzling long red hair echoed the bright red spear in the woman's hand, which was extremely conspicuous.
"We've been waiting behind the scenes for a long, long time, and now, it's finally time for us to make a move......... For the sake of my time, for the sake of our world, Leg, it's time for you to step up to the stage and carry out your mission. Although that girl is very capable, but unfortunately, the world is unpredictable, since we have lost her, then, don't make meaningless memories. ”
Saying this, the woman glanced at the Sith Great, who sighed slightly, and then nodded.
"Yes, I see. But it's a real pity, I originally planned to wait for her to grow up a little more, so that she can also understand and join our mission, which is definitely a powerful help for us, but ............"
"I understand your feelings. ”
The woman comforted softly.
"But the reality is so, let's not hesitate any longer, it's useless to regret what has already happened. ”
"Yes, I see. ”
The Sith Emperor walked up to the woman, bowed slightly, and then, he grasped the long sword at his waist, and his face instantly became extremely resolute.
"I swear by my life to stop those demons from invading our world!
