Chapter 182: The Scarlet Banquet (1)

When the paladin Georgia led the mage reinforcements transferred from the rear, he led a team of elite cavalry to the northern foothills of the Duchy of Hansea, searching for traces of the remnants of the orcs. In Talva, the capital of Hanseas, the Marquis of Delta also ushered in the most glorious moment of his life.

No matter what the purpose of Lady Susan, after being controlled by the Holy See's Phantom Armor Warriors, she was surprisingly obedient, and it could even be said that she actively cooperated with them to eliminate the orc forces. In short, Delta controlled the entire capital almost effortlessly, and with the support of the powerful Holy See Phantom Armor warriors around him, he was equivalent to having the power of life and death for everyone in the Duchy of Hanseas, and the taste of power made him taste a completely different feeling for the first time.

The only thing that made him a little unnatural was Susan's performance. This woman with a big belly is still beautiful and refined. It's just that he looks arrogant, and even talks to Delta with a condescending gesture, as if he is dictating to him.

"Please remember, Your Excellency Marquis of Delta! The Duchy of Hansa was able to break free from the control of the orcs and return to the protection of the Adria Empire because of my help. If I hadn't persuaded most of the nobles to support me, if I hadn't transferred two human traitors who had taken control of the government, Savati and Pahomi. If it weren't for my father, Duke Jean, who secretly helped persuade the nobles who were loyal to me, and if it weren't for the fact that he thought of a way to divide the [Broken Horn Stag] legion that was in the hands of the orcs, even if you were able to control the Grand Duchy by surprise, you wouldn't have thought of easily taking the entire Duchy of Hanseas. I need you to report my sincere respect and submission to Her Majesty Vitasia and the Holy Maiden Evangeline, and for them to decide on the disposition of me and my principality. ”

Hearing Susan's words, one can imagine Delta's feelings. He admits that he did not realize that Susan and her father, Jean Sr., had been secretly plotting against the orcs for a long time, and that the presence of the Holy See had only made the operation smoother. Even without Delta and Georgia, Susan and Jean Sr. were able to overthrow the orcs and take control of Hansa themselves at a price. But if the matter is reported to Vitasia and Evangeline, then there is no doubt that Delta's credit will be greatly diminished, which he will not allow in any case.

Fortunately, Delta is still a little clever...... Or treacherous and vicious - he found Susan's daughter Claire and brought Hanthansa, and at once caught her in the Achilles heel.

The reason why Susan would betray the Baroque. No one knows what she thinks in her complicated heart, but one of the main reasons should be related to her daughter Claire. Because no one knows whether the child Susan gave birth to was an orc or a human blood. If it is of human blood, it is better to say, if it is an orc, then there is no doubt that it is impossible to inherit the Duchy of Hansea. Then what she did was meaningless. She also has a daughter, Claire, although she is not of the blood of the Grand Duke Morrison, but as long as she completely controls the power of Hansa and gives those nobles enough benefits, it is not a problem. And when Delta insidiously captures Klar. Susan had to make concessions.

As a result, Delta's message to Evangeline and Vitasia shared the credit for destroying the orc forces and controlling the Duchy of Hansa with Susan. As for how to deal with Susan's surrender, it depends on the wishes of the saint and the empress. Delta wanted the owners to get rid of Susan's stumbling block, but he knew it would backfire............ Who's calling them all women? Sometimes that's an advantage.

Vitasia and the Holy Maiden soon replied, and a high-ranking court lady came to Hansa with the Holy Maiden's letter of forgiveness and the Empress's letter of state. The Holy Maiden forgave Susan for some of her forced actions due to the control of the orcs, and forgave all her sins. And Princess Vitasia's credentials officially recognize Susan's legitimacy...... From this day on, she is the true Grand Duchess of Hansea. As for the Marquis of Delta, it's not bad...... He was appointed Chief Minister of the Duchy of Hanseas, helping Grand Duke Susan restore the power of the Duchy that had been destroyed by the Orcs. Since Susan is pregnant, it is actually Delta who controls Hansa's power.

The result was a happy ending! Delta got the coveted right. Susan also took control of the entire duchy reasonably and legally, and reunited with her daughter.

The Georgian Paladin, who was far away at the foot of the Kundu Maya foothills in the northern part of the principality, finally found the location of the entrance to the cavern according to the clues. They don't know the secrets of that passage...... For some reason, Susan didn't reveal any information about the Grey Dwarves, because when the magicians blasted open the boulder door in the cavern passage with their magic crossbows, and Georgia sent a team of fighting warriors to investigate, they quickly lost the response of the soldiers. He immediately sent three powerful Phantom Armor Samurai in, only to hear a roar and screams in the cave, and then the three Phantom Armor Samurai also lost their voice. Georgia immediately became cautious and sent back to ask Susan about the secret of the cave passage.

Susan couldn't remain silent, and with some reluctance she uttered the shocking three words "Grey Dwarf". and the secrets of that incredible cavern passage.

Georgia thought for a long time before he suddenly realized the meaning of the dusty name of the gray dwarf, and he didn't dare to investigate rashly, so he immediately ordered the magicians to completely collapse this cavern passage with a magic giant crossbow to prevent the existence inside from appearing in a short time. Then he rushed back to Odria himself to report the news of the gray dwarves to the Holy Maiden of Evangeline. Georgia realized that if it worked well, Her Highness would most likely gain the friendship of the dwarves on the continent and be supported by a powerful force. -- The grudges between the dwarves and the gray dwarves are endless, and they have long been written in the epic.

Georgia leaves, but the Duchy of Hanseasa prepares a grand feast. Celebrate the extermination of the filthy and vicious orcs, which Delta has proposed to preside over, as it will quickly expand his influence. He invited all the nobles and powerful people he could, including the elder Jean and his son, General Suarez, who controlled North Paddington.

No one knew better than Susan that this matter was not over, and that the enraged Baroque would inevitably come to take revenge, so he ordered the Eagle to gather another 10,000 people to form an army of 20,000 high tribesmen, and to control the entire Salva capital tightly. The Broken Horn Stag Legion, which was once controlled by the orcs, was not trusted by her at all, and was dispersed and transferred away. Even Jean Sr. and his son Suarez, in addition to guarding against the Schaumberg invasion of South Paddington, sent 5,000 soldiers to reinforce Susan, and laid siege to Salva like a barrel.

In addition, because of Susan's urgent request, the Holy Maiden of Evangeline specially sent ten Phantom Warriors to protect Susan's safety, which can be said to be a bit of a fuss in Delta's opinion. More than half of the winter has passed, and there are less than two months to go into spring, and Odria's army has begun to move, pressing towards the grassland of the breeding land, if the orcs do not want to wait for death, all the forces will be drawn to the side of the grassland of the breeding land. The Duchy of Hanseasa is already a peace of mind here, no matter how powerful that Baroque is, can it still fight on two fronts?

The Baroque really couldn't fight on two fronts, and the defeat of the Duchy of Hanseasa also made him know that he was out of control. But that doesn't mean he won't retaliate...... And it will be very bloody!

The banquet was prepared as scheduled, just three days later. And in the foothills of the Kundu Maya, inside the collapsed cavern passage, Baroque also arrived with his beastly armored warriors.

The power of the magic crossbow caused a section of the tunnel to collapse for tens of kilometers, and it would take even the gray dwarves a month to re-dig it, and they would not be attacked again by enemies watching from the outside. But the Grey Dwarves and Baroque had been prepared for a long time, and had anticipated all contingencies and prepared countermeasures long before digging this passage. In the other direction, there is another alternate passage ready to drill out by digging a layer of rock a few meters thick outside.

It took the gray dwarves only three hours to dig a hole. Baroque first sent a Thunderhawk beast armor warrior to fly to the sky to patrol and find out all the enemies who were watching outside. Knowing that there were only five hundred cavalry and a team of twenty magicians, they were led by three people who had illusion crystal fluctuations on their bodies, and they were obviously phantom armored warriors. Baroque smiled coldly, and took advantage of the night to lead the beast armor warriors out of the rock tunnel .......

It was almost a one-sided slaughter, and it was the more crowded side that was slaughtered. The Thunder Eagle Beast Transformation Armored Warriors all flew in the air and were invisible in the night, and the Erni Snow Leopard was even better at concealing its body. When Baroque quietly infiltrated the human camp and broke the neck of a phantom armored warrior, the totem beast Rak used terrifying soul power for the first time to tear apart the soul of a phantom armored warrior, leaving only an empty shell corpse. The Hebrew Wolf Morningstar bit out the crystal from the armor of the last Phantom Warrior, and bit his throat by the way. The entire human camp also lost its command, and a wolf cry was the signal, and all the beast armored warriors who had infiltrated and in the sky began to slaughter wantonly.

The night belongs to the orcs, who can see as much as day. But humans don't have this ability, and with the loss of command, they immediately fall into chaos. The first to suffer were twenty mages, but without the orcs showing mercy to them, these guys' melee ability was almost zero in front of the orcs. In a matter of seconds, they all died tragically, and none of the mages had time to cast a complete spell.

A large number of soldiers were slaughtered, and their vindictiveness was a joke in front of the beastly armored warriors. In the end, they were the elite, and some of them soon gathered together to form a hundred-man battle formation to resist the enemy, but they were immediately destroyed by the Baroque with a devastating force. -- The power of the Baroque at this time was unfathomable, and even the old white-robed high priest Radaman admitted that he was helpless against the Baroque. At this time, in the face of more than two Apocalypse See, Baroque was confident that he would defeat and kill them, let alone a battle formation of a hundred-man team?

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the powerful hundred-man battle formation was destroyed by the orcs in a single shot, and most of the soldiers died tragically, and their bones were incomplete. It completely crushed the persistence of those who remained. I don't know who screamed so badly that he turned around and fled, and the rest of the people fled for their lives.

Will it escape? In front of the Thunder Eagle Beast Transformation Armored Warrior who can fly, it is obviously impossible. The Baroque just said "no one will be left", and they were all doomed to die here. (To be continued.) )
