Chapter 212: Withdrawal of Troops
readx;
The news of the capture of West V spread across half the continent in only half a day, and by the time the sun set again, even the small westernmost countries had already received a detailed report on the matter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is not because of the burning gossip blood of the nobles, in fact, after Yulian announced the recovery of the Twilight Forest, many countries have sent spies to lurk around the Twilight Forest, monitoring and collecting intelligence on every move of the Knights of the End, so for what happened before, the rulers of many countries even know and know better than the nobles who live around the Twilight Forest, in fact, before the battle began, there were already many spies lurking in the dark, collecting and recording this image, and after the battle ended, it was transmitted back as quickly as possibleγ And almost everyone who saw the battle scene at that time, this news was the last thing they wanted to see.
You know, after all, although the Knights of the End of the World are famous on this continent, after all, it has been seventy years, and the rulers of various countries hate and fear that legend, but they are curious and afraid of the Knights of the End that appeared in front of them, but many of them have this idea in their hearts, that is, no matter how powerful this Order once was, it has been seventy years. Moreover, even seventy years ago, the Knights of the Last Rite disappeared without warning. At that time, almost all the countries on the continent were anxious about the terrible Knights, but it was not until some time later that they were surprised to find that the Knights seemed to have completely disappeared. As for how and where to disappear, no country on the entire continent has ever received such information. It was as if they had turned into a cloud of air and disappeared into thin air. Because of this, many countries subconsciously believe that this knight may have suffered some disaster or been wiped out by some powerful force. And even if they reappear now, many people are more inclined to speculate that they have not yet regained their former strength, or that their strength may only be a fraction of what they used to be.
But now, the information transmitted by this is to completely pour a basin of cold water on those who originally had a glimmer of hope.
Although it is reported that West V did not lead the army and commanded only rough strategy and tactics, the art of command and tactics only have meaning if the two sides are at least about the same strength. If the Knights of the End sent three thousand, or three hundred, to battle, they could all blame the defeat on the incompetence of this commander. However, in the face of the elite 30,000 troops of the Western royal family, the Knights of the Final Yan only sent a total of six people, and only three actually fought......... However, the fact that these three people alone killed 30,000 of West's elite soldiers without leaving a single piece of armor is the most terrifying thing in itself. According to the report, there were no survivors, no wounded, only one prisoner, and all the rest were dead -- such a battle report would be unimaginable to anyone.
At this moment, in the hearts of many people, the dangerous surname of the Knights of the End has overwhelmed the Sith Empire.
Although the Knights of Damnation are also very powerful, but their threat is still within the acceptable range of everyone's reason after all, no matter what, the four generals of Damnation are all leading large legions to fight, even if it is a perfect victory, no matter how disparity in strength, at least the other party is leading tens of thousands of soldiers in battle.
That is, this is the power of the group.
However, what the Knights of the Final Ground have shown is an incomparable, overwhelming "individual" combat power.
Although many people insist that there is a limit to how "powerful" an individual can be in the face of the power of a group, the reality tells them that the reason why they think this way is simply because they have never met someone who can break through the limit.
With just three people, they could completely wipe out the elite division of 30,000 people in less than half an hour, and if there were more than ten people of such strength in the Knights of the End, then no one on the entire continent would be their opponent.
At this point, these people seemed to finally understand why, seventy years ago, the Knights of the Last Dead were able to conquer the continent without being invincible. In the face of such power, it has far exceeded the scope of their understanding and acceptance, and even reached a certain untouchable other side of human beings.
If such a power brought horror to the rulers of various countries, then what happened to West V made them feel terrified.
His Majesty, the former king, was actually locked in a wooden cage and let people visit him like an animal! And what did he say about one silver coin for the commoners, five gold coins for the nobles, and what is this a victory over special events, with an average discount of 70 percent?
Aristocrats were not afraid of death, which is not necessarily true, they did fear death, but if they had to choose between death and self-esteem, many would not hesitate to choose the latter. And this is especially true as the rulers of a country, no matter what, they have ruled a country at one time, even as prisoners, they have their own dignity. They can accept their own death, they cannot accept that they will be humiliated, let alone humiliated like animals!
This fear even surpassed the horror of the power of the Knights of the End, no one wanted to be treated like this, but Yuren told them what he would do.
Death is not terrible, and the destruction of the country is acceptable, but if you let yourself die like this with endless humiliation, then you should think about it.
Many nations that had intended to take coercive measures and means against the Order of the Last Knights did not really think about the risks of their plans until this moment.
However, not everyone thinks this way.
The lights are on.
"Elders, Mages. β
Standing in front of the round table with a white body, the woman in the white robe was full of indignation and perseverance, she took the crystal ball in her hand and said in a cold, cold voice.
"In my capacity as the chairman of the Trial Investigation Committee of the Mage Association, I hope that you will understand the seriousness of the situation............ Just yesterday, in the area that our Mage Guild does not have jurisdiction, someone broke the rules of the Guild without authorization and released a powerful peak spell, which is very likely to affect Mana's balance and will cause a considerable degree of damage to our Mage Guild. I suggest that the Mage Guild should set up an investigation team to investigate this matter in detail, and find out the true identities of the two mages who cast the peak spell!"
"I disagree with you, Mage Falian. β
A blessed male mage struggled to move his fat body in a chair, but there was no smile on his face full of flesh.
"Historically, we have worked well with the Mage Guild and the Knights of the End, and there is no need to quarrel over such a trivial matter, and, according to the report, we all know that there is not a source of rebirth in the Twilight Forest, and based on current observations and tests, Mana's balance has not been disrupted, so why should we do such a thankless task?"
"However, because of this time, many countries have doubts about our mage, but it is very possible. β
Another skinny, almost skinny old mage stuck out his middle finger and pushed down his gold-rimmed glasses.
"Although we all know very well, the peak spell is not something that any mage can cast. But for those fools in the lower world, they will not understand such a noble and profound mystery, and I can imagine that many stupid idiot nobles are worried that since there are mages who can cast such spells, it means that there may be threats in our mage association that they did not think existed before, which is not a good impact on the development of the mage association. So, from the standpoint of the Mage Association, we need to make some countermeasures. β
"However, taking the liberty of attacking the Knights of the End will only lead to unnecessary chaos, and the ignorant barbarians of the Church of Grace have all been wiped out by the Knights of the End, so why do we have to go in and get involved? What's more, since we have confirmed that the other party has such a powerful mage inside, we need to have a good relationship with the Knights of the End, right?"
The elegant lady reached out and picked up the silver spoon on one side, stirring the milk tea in the cup, and asked quietly rhetorically.
"Mages also have mage's rules, and wanton breaking the rules is not allowed!"
The white-robed female mage slapped the table hard, and then the large space immediately fell silent.
"So, Speaker Noah, what about your attitude?"
With the female mage's inquiry, everyone moved their eyes to the old man who was sitting in the center of the round table, and was closing his eyes at the moment, his stature was extremely short, the whole person looked like a child who had not grown up, and the wide mage robe completely enveloped his body, at this moment, hearing this question, the old mage just raised his eyebrows, he opened his eyes slightly, and stared at the battle in the West Kingdom that was constantly replaying in the center of the round table, about the previous battle in the West Kingdom, and then, fixed his gaze on the gorgeous magic circle.
Then the old mage finally spoke.
"This is the 'sanction of the twin scales'. β
Hearing this, the room that was originally turbulent in the dark tide suddenly calmed down at this moment. The fat mage smiled and didn't speak, just narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Oh......... It's actually .........."
The thin mage's hand, which had been holding his glasses, trembled slightly, and then he opened his mouth in embarrassment, but he couldn't say anything.
"So......... I think......... Well, the Mage Guild has always been neutral and non-intrusive, which is a very sensible thing to do. β
"I see. β
The middle-aged lady's movements were still elegant, but at this moment, a trace of essence flashed in her eyes.
"No wonder I said how this circle looks so familiar......... It's really worthy of the head of the council, and he immediately found the central point. β
With that, she stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of today's meeting. β
"Wait, guys, I'm still ............"
No one answered, but with the flash of magical light, the twelve figures that had originally gathered around the white round table had begun to disappear at this moment. The white-robed female mage frowned slightly, staring at the scene in front of her with confusion and difference, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.
"Mage Falian. β
The middle-aged lady still looked at the female mage in front of her with a soft smile.
"With the same female surname, I can understand the pressure of becoming one of the twelve star mages in such a short period of time, and the desire to make some achievements in a hurry. However, because of this, I would like to take the standpoint of a female surname and warn you one thing -- don't be rash and aggressive, it will not do you any good. β
"I don't understand what you mean, Master Sashael. β
The white-robed female mage's face was as cold as ice at the moment, and her tone was low.
"I became one of the twelve-star mages with my own understanding and application of Mana, I have a lot of confidence in alchemy, and the paper report on the "Magic Crystal Triangle Conversion System" I submitted before has also won unanimous praise from the Mage Association, I am qualified for the position of twelve-star mage with my own strength, I ............"
"I see what you mean. β
The middle-aged lady chuckled and interrupted the other party's speech.
"However, it has nothing to do with today's issue, and it is clear that you don't seem to understand why this is just yet......... So, as a colleague of the Twelve Star Mages, I'm here to make it difficult for me, and I'll remind you. β
"I want to hear about it. β
The white-robed female mage raised her eyebrows, revealing a hint of resistance.
"As one of the Twelve Star Mages, I think you seem to have forgotten a common sense - any peak spell is the product of its owner, and it is impossible for anyone to learn, use, or copy. I think you should go to the Society's historical database and investigate what it means. β
As she spoke, the middle-aged lady chuckled and opened the fan with a "snap", covering her bright red lips.
In this way, you will understand that your proposal is pointless. That's right......... I remember that your family seems to be and ............ I don't think I'll need to remind you that as a twelve-star mage, you'll probably keep your distance from those politicians. β
Another brilliant magical light flashed, and the figure of the middle-aged lady disappeared into the air. The white-robed female mage's face was as heavy as ice, staring coldly at the empty room.
"Damn old woman........."
Then, she said through gritted teeth.
It was just a small episode in the long night, and the next morning, Yulian himself came forward and released a message that panicked the entire West.
Due to the hostile actions taken by His Majesty King West V against the Knights of the End, the Order of the End will cancel its defense pact with the Kingdom of West and withdraw from the Red Fortress immediately!
As soon as these words came out, West's country immediately became chaotic.
"The time has come!"
A relieved smile appeared on Lintilott's face at this moment, and she held the information in her hand tightly and looked at the generals in front of her. At this moment, Her Majesty finally relaxed completely.
Although she had not spoken directly with Yuren, or even discussed, until now, the secret confrontation between the Sith Empire and the Knights of the Last has not stopped. In order to test the strength of the Knights of the End, Lintillot sent Sidwi to challenge, and Julien gave her a clear answer. And this reply, combined with the information that the three of them had wiped out 30,000 troops of the Knights of the Final Order, was enough to make Lintillot face up to its formidable strength, and it was only then that their deal was finally made - until now, the deal was finally concluded. Lintillot tried her best to get Julien to leave the fortress "decently", and Julien's performance also answered the princess that it was the right decision.
Was it really the right decision?
Lyntilot didn't think so, and Julien cunningly and skillfully avoided a head-to-head confrontation with the Sith Empire, so the mainland's expectations of who would win and who would lose between the Four Generals of Damnation and the Knights of the Last Rite would not be realized. On the surface, the two sides can be regarded as having their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of momentum at present. Moreover, with such an excuse to leave, she could not create an atmosphere that the Knights of the End were afraid of the Sith Empire. After all, in the previous challenge, the girl who looked younger than Sidwig had a draw with her on the surface, which was also a message to everyone. And now, they have done such an exaggerated deed that even the Sith Empire could not do, and wiped out 30,000 elite soldiers alone. Therefore, even if the Sith Empire releases such a rumor, I am afraid that other countries will not believe that the Knights of the End are afraid of the Sith Empire, so they find an excuse to leave such rumors.
What a terrible man, he had already thought about the situation from the moment he came to the fortress.
Thinking of this, Lintillot couldn't help but feel a little helpless, Yulian didn't subtly lure her to do it, on the contrary, he just forced himself to follow his request, he put his strength and threat here, but he didn't have any choice, he could only cooperate with this man to complete his plan. And now, even these generals under their own command are so happy that they don't notice any problems, they just think it's a great opportunity. I didn't see anything wrong.
Hope will not become an enemy.
Lintillot shook her head, tossing the thought to the back of her mind, and then, picking herself up again, spoke.
"Guys, our biggest obstacle has left, and from now on, no one will stand in front of us and stop us from moving!"
With this, Lintillot raised her right hand.
"All for the Sith!!"
"All for the Sith!!"
The passionate voice echoed in the sky, and then, the girl's beautiful voice sounded.
"Attack the Red Fortress!!"
