Chapter 336: The Mission (I)

[Before two o'clock in the fourth shift.] Sorry, I was too tired yesterday. Three shifts tomorrow, four shifts the day after tomorrow, it's almost this rhythm, I can still take a break, otherwise I won't be able to stand it]

Zola had four Warcraft swordsmen who had taken refuge with him, and these people were all high-level swordsmen at that time, and they had been helping Saleen train soldiers, and they were doing very well.

"Master, don't you know yet, these four people are training quite crazy, and now they are all quasi-sword saints. Let Sister Sika be the lord of the city, and the four of them will assist, so that Sister Sika will not have to face those nasty demons every day. ”

Naris didn't let Sika stay in Castlevania all year round, but also so that she could tie up Saleen so that Saleen wouldn't be hooked by other women. It's her little selfishness, but it doesn't hurt Sika much.

As a sacrifice, there are naturally a large number of Caucasians coming to join him, and now the number of earth priests is estimated to be less than that of the tenth-level profession, and of course the Caucasians are willing to come to Metatrin City. South of Metatrin City. There are also mountainous areas with a climate similar to those of the Caucasus to live, and the monsters in the mountains have not been hunted in large quantities, and there are sufficient numbers. These are all things that the Caucasians love.

If Sika continues to develop like this, it will not be difficult to become a priest of nature, and there is no need to mess around in Castlevania.

"Okay, then you go and hand over to the four of them and tell them how to handle their daily affairs, but the ...... on Sika's side"

"I explained it to Sister Shika personally. Neris smiled and agreed. She found that as long as she formed an alliance with Schika, no one could stick her hand to Saleen's side, except for the bone shelf......

Salin sent Neris away, took out more than eighty kinds of magical beasts that the Winged Skull had captured for himself from the Demon God Ring, and began to study the magic patterns of these magical beasts.

Salin had already made up his mind that he would definitely use the opportunity to study these magic patterns and natural magic arrays to advance to the seventh level of magicians.

Saleen is concentrating on cultivation here, Daniel is in charge of the city hall, and the arena is also in full swing to step up construction, Metatrin City has calmed down for the time being, but Holy Rock City and Sacred City can't calm down.

Holy Rock Castle, Prince's Palace. Sephiroth is home to six dukes of the House of Commons and six dukes of the House of Lords. The battle in Garolan was stalemate, and Sephiroth no longer shied away from suspicion and took command himself.

This time, Sephiroth is not looking at the battle situation, but on the north side of Phoenix, the new kingdom that has emerged.

"Ministers. Dinisio sent an expeditionary force of 125,000 to the city of Metatrin, but the whole army was wiped out, what do you think of this?" Sephiroth's face was very unsightly, because the battles on the border of Carulan were fought one after another, although Qin Yin's losses were far lower than those of the Tangulas Empire, but he did not recover any commendable big cities.

Qin Yin's army entered Garulan and was often beaten back within a hundred miles. On the contrary, his niece, the army of the king of Rex, had already appeared in the southeast of Garulan, entered Garulan from the path behind the country of Kushui, and also laid a piece of land and built a high city.

Rex has many mages available and has a high level, which is understandable, but what about Metatrin City? Has it been two years since the city was founded? It is simply ironic that Qin Yin's army can kill a piece of armor that can be killed by the 125,000 expeditionary force.

"Your Highness, the Holy See is mobilizing. After an expedition of more than 20,000 miles, the strength has been weakened to the extreme, and the city of Metatrin has an absolute advantage. A duke argued. The twelve dukes present here all sent their armies to fight in Garudan, and of course this contrast was unbearable.

"Really?" Sephiroth sneered, "The 125,000 troops, but all of them were wiped out, including 5,000 jailers from the Inquisition, which is equivalent to the most elite troops in our Royal Swordsman Battalion. Do you understand the meaning of the total annihilation? Let me tell you, there is news from the city of Guderian that Nicholas, the ninth-level cardinal archbishop who commanded the Holy See expeditionary force, has defected to the Holy See, become a fallen magician, and have taken refuge in Metatrin City. ”

"What?"

"Impossible!"

The dukes were in an uproar. How can a cardinal archbishop betray the Holy See? At least half of those who climb to this position already have the opportunity to compete for the pinnacle of power of the Pope.

"That's the way it is, there's no mistake in intelligence. Sephiroth's words shocked the dukes. This is the first time this has happened in the 1,000-year history of the Holy See.

"Your Highness, we must be wary of Metatrin City, that Salin, I heard that he has become king and set up his own kingdom. It's better to send troops to the expedition. ”

"Nonsense. Sephiroth said angrily: "If this incident has not happened, of course we can go to the expedition, but if he kills the 125,000 expeditionary forces of the Holy See, and we go to the expedition again, we are sucking our own mouths." ”

The dukes also calmed down, Sephiroth was right, they were now on the same side as themselves. What is the reason for the Holy Rock City to go to the requisition?

Moreover, the surname Metatrin was indeed prominent in the Fourth Dynasty. This person should be a descendant of the Metatrin family. We don't have to worry about identity, what we have to do is how to take advantage of this opportunity. ”

"Your Highness, the Cardinal Archbishop betrayed, the Holy See will definitely be furious, and will divide the army to attack Metatrin City, we just have to wait for the opportunity. ”

"Wait, haven't you waited enough, look at the battle situation in Garulan, it's a mess!" Sephiroth was really angry, he couldn't control the southern nobles, but even these guys in Holy Rock City didn't do their best. The elite soldiers on the border of Garudan are all the Holy Rock City's own, and the nobles seem to be making small calculations.

"If you can't work together, I have to follow the example of the imperial brother and conquer Jialoulan in person, and it's a big deal to die on the battlefield!"

Sephiroth said this, and the dukes were ashamed.

"I have decided to conquer the east of Garulam before winter, my ministers. How many troops are you going to send?" Sephiroth was impatient, these nobles did not understand, and thought that the war could be stalemate on the border of Garulan. If you don't attack, as soon as your army is exhausted, the Tangulas Empire will quickly increase its troops and sweep across the entire northern part of Qinyin.

Seeing the pressure exerted by the King of Qin, the dukes had no choice but to agree, each with 10,000 troops, and obeyed Sephiroth's dispatch.

This is equivalent to Sephiroth having another 120,000 elite soldiers, and he can attack in two ways. It turned out that the 100,000 elite soldiers of Holy Rock City were attacking in another direction. If the Holy See were to divide its forces against Metatrin City, the situation would be opened up immediately.

"In addition, Your Majesty has decided to send envoys to Metatrin City to exchange credentials and recognize the status of the Kingdom of Metatrin City. Sephiroth said with a grimace.

"Your Highness, by all means!"

The atmosphere that had just calmed down immediately became tense, these people were only loyal to Shengyan City, and they didn't understand the emperor's approach.

"What's not to do?"

"Your Highness, Metatrin City is obviously not weak, and it is close to Phoenix, Phoenix's resentment towards us cannot be eliminated until now, once Metatrin establishes its status, what if this Phoenix falls?"

Sephiroth sighed, these nobles were selfish, but they finally understood. He was also worried about such a thing, but if the emperor wanted to do this, what reason did he have to object?

"The Grand Duke of Phoenix is in our hands, so we don't have to think about it for the time being. Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has asked me to choose one of my men to negotiate with the city of Metatrin, who among you will go?"

Seeing that no one answered, Sephiroth said, "In that case, I will appoint one." ”

The dukes were helpless, no one wanted to go to this matter, and it might be dangerous to go. However, according to Qin Yin's law, he can invite a royal magician to accompany him.

"Balde, leave your responsibilities to the deputy for the time being, and take a trip to Metatrin City. Sephiroth pointed to one of the youngest dukes.

Balde nodded and said, "Your Highness, I don't dare to disobey the order, it's just ...... How many mages can Your Majesty send to protect my safety?"

"I'll go and tell Your Majesty that I'll assign you a magician, four great magicians. I asked Vincent to select two hundred elite soldiers from the army to accompany you to protect you. You can also take two hundred people yourself, plus a thousand soldiers in the honor guard, and there should be no problem. ”

Balder calculated, 1,400 elites, plus four great magicians and a magician, can indeed be regarded as a powerful envoy group. It's just that it doesn't seem to be safe enough. I have to pass through Phoenix, and it is not impossible for any of the Phoenix people to go crazy and want to do something to the envoys of Holy Rock City. Who let the Grand Duke of Phoenix die in Holy Rock City for no apparent reason?

"Guderian City will send two banners to protect you, is it almost enough?" said Sephiroth, impatiently. However, he also knew that he was different from these dukes, as a ninth-level professional, a Golden Sword Master, he rarely planned for safety. But even if these nobles have practiced swordsmanship, they are only at the level of swordsmen, and they are extremely concerned about their own safety.

"Your Highness......"

Balde, don't shirk it, Guderian can't send too many soldiers and horses. So, I'll write to Metatrin in advance, and ask them to send troops to pick you up, if you're worried about something going wrong in Phoenix......"

"Your Highness, I'll go, I'll go!" Balder hastened to argue. Although this kind of thing is dangerous, it is also political capital, and it is not completely without benefits, and the prince is already fighting for him a lot of convenience, as evidenced by the transfer of troops from Guderian.

"When you go to Metatrin City, you have to inquire into the truth and see what is going on there, for the news that the merchant has come back is always unreliable. You go to the palace now, and His Majesty will tell you other things, and you must do it well. Sephiroth's face softened, and he remembered that Balde's son was still young, and if something happened, there would be a lot of trouble in the family, so he did not continue to scold the duke.

In the palace, Ojavis is receiving the patriarchs of the four great families, that is, the four court counts.

The Tiffanys, the Rolands, the Williams, and the Clyde family have a huge amount of wealth, but they lack political power, and everything is in the hands of the royal family.

Ojavis looked at the four old guys and said slowly: "I know that there are disciples in your family who have separated and taken refuge in that Salin, I mean, you don't pursue it." ”
