In the Imperial Palace of the Rice Eagle, the Emperor handed an urgent letter to the Grand Magister. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After reading the contents of the letter, the archmage opened his mouth wide: "In the first battle of Dopma City, two sword masters, one mage, dozens of quasi-sword masters and archmages were lost, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and many legions were completely wiped out. ”

"One of the Water Cloud Assassins assisted Shaanna in assassinating the Magister......" The Grand Magus read this, looking up at the Emperor in disbelief.

The Emperor nodded slightly, making sure that the Grand Magus himself was not mistaken.

"Did we guess wrong in the first place?!" the Archmagister still couldn't believe it, and he returned the letter to the Emperor.

The Emperor folded the letter, put it aside, turned to the Grand Magus, and said, "The message is certainly not wrong. This matter is inseparable from Tang Long's relationship. One spy and a few assassins have wreaked so much havoc on us, we can't afford to let them be complacent. ”

Hearing the Emperor's unkind tone, the Grand Magus hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you planning to declare war?"

"Well, this battle must be fought, and if you put up with it again and again, sooner or later it will be defeated by other countries. The Emperor took another letter from his desk and handed it to the Grand Magister: "The military and the council are on the same page, they need our help. The Master will send me a message to the mage towers—we're going to war. ”

The Grand Magus took the letter, performed a mage salute on the Emperor, and then left the palace and returned to his own mage tower.

......

In the palace of the Tang Dragon Empire, the Tang Emperor supported his cheeks with one hand, and with an expression of watching a play, he glanced at the hundreds of officials arguing under the throne.

"Your Majesty! The Rice Eagle Empire is not a small country, and it should not be taken lightly. If a war breaks out, it will lead to the misery of the lives of the people of both countries. We can send messengers with gifts to communicate, turn hostilities into friendships, and avoid unnecessary disputes. A red-robed official walked out of the queue on the left hand side of the Emperor and reported his suggestion to the Tang Emperor.

The queue on the right hand side of the Emperor immediately walked out of a blue-robed official, who first bowed to the Tang Emperor, and then faced the red-robed official who had spoken before.

"Zheng Shangshu, you were scared. Since ancient times, weak countries have no diplomacy. Before the war was fought, you suggested that my emperor send an envoy to negotiate peace with gifts, you are losing the face of my Tanglong Empire and the face of my emperor. ”

The blue-robed official saw that the red-robed official wanted to argue, so he hurriedly turned to face the Tang Emperor and interrupted the red-robed official's words in a loud voice: "My Emperor! ”

"Over the years, they have repeatedly provoked with magic technology, and it's time for them to see the fighting technology of my Great Tang Dragon Empire. ”

When the blue-robed official said the words [Douqi Technology], Tang Huang's eyes were obviously shining, but Tang Huang didn't rush to speak, because the people below were still arguing.

In the queue of officials on the left hand side of the Tang Emperor, a yellow-robed official walked out, bowed to the Tang Emperor and said, "My Emperor! But my Tang Dragon Empire's Douqi technology has always been kept secret, and it is only used in the empire's Anbang, and it has never been used in wars against other countries. ”

"If our two countries fight each other for their own technology, I am afraid that the entire world of Adornoll will fall into a catastrophe, and then how will we explain it to future generations?"

As soon as the yellow-robed official finished speaking, a green-robed official hurriedly walked out of the queue of officials on the right hand of the Tang Emperor, still saluting the Tang Emperor first before opening his mouth to refute the yellow-robed official.

"Is Liu Langzhong's statement too biased? This war was originally provoked by the Mi Eagle Empire, and they thought that they were invincible in the world of magic technology, and they had no fear to do whatever they wanted. ”

"Don't we remove this hidden danger of calamity for the Heavenly Path at this time, and wait for the wolf son to step into this Hall of Ten Thousand Harmony before we fight with them?"

The red-robed Zheng Shangshu shook his head and came out of the queue again: "My Emperor, the Rice Eagle Empire intends to fight with my Great Tang Dragon because there is a dark water cloud assassin in its country to assassinate its speaker and ......."

"That's enough!" Emperor Tang suddenly sat up straight and interrupted Zheng Shangshu's words, Zheng Shangshu was so frightened by Emperor Tang's prestige that he hurriedly bowed and retreated to his queue.

"I've made up my mind!From now on, face the Rice Eagle Empire. You can use Dou Qi technology!" As soon as Emperor Tang finished speaking, he saw the area closest to the throne, and the eighth master got up from his chair, so he waved his hand to stop: "Brother doesn't need to be dissuaded, today's discussion is over here, let's all step down!"

All the officials in the hall bowed to the Tang Emperor and shouted: "My Emperor is healthy!"

After the Tang Emperor left, they quickly withdrew from the hall and went to prepare for the war.

......

In the border town of the Aotian Holy Sect, Sha Anna is resting at the mercenary bar in the town.

Everyone in this country is religious, and everywhere you go, you can hear the people talking in the name of the god Oten.

It didn't take much trouble for Shaanna to infiltrate the country, as the Aotian Sacred Sect was friendly to the surrounding countries, so there were no heavy troops to defend the border.

However, every town has at least one church dedicated to the god Okuten, and then the main deity is the god who is in charge of a certain earthly affairs.

These churches were places of worship and the town's hospital and barracks, with the Holy Knights and Holy Sacrifices living in the camps behind the churches.

There are no checkpoints to collect customs duties in and out of the towns of the Aotian Holy Church, and the townspeople have to work for the church for one-third of the year, which has offset their taxes on entering and leaving the town.

Every morning at 6 o'clock, 12 o'clock at noon, and 6 o'clock in the evening, the residents of the town, from the lord of the city to the wanderers, all come out on time to worship in the direction of the sun, rain or shine.

Citizens of non-Aotian Holy Sect countries are not required to participate in worship services, but they must stay in their houses and are not allowed to go out.

If there is really no room to avoid, you can only crouch down and not stand to watch the worship ceremony.

Shaanna rested at the bar to avoid this worship ceremony, and by the way, to hear all kinds of news brought by the mercenaries.

Now Shaanna is nine years old, although she is not yet old, but she has grown a lot taller, and with the temperament that she has been exercising by walking in the wilderness, she looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

The mercenaries liked to flirt with the girls in the bar, but no one dared to come and harass the attention of Shaanna.

The first is that the Ao Tian Holy Sect decrees do not allow anyone to provoke nuns and children, and the second is that Sha Anna has always faintly revealed a cold murderous aura, and the weak ones in the mercenaries directly retreat, and the strong ones will not be serious with a little girl.

"Are you really going to try your luck with the Rice Eagle Empire?" The mercenary sitting at the table across Shaanna's table had been talking about the war between the Tang Dragon Empire and the Rice Eagle Empire.

This kind of large-scale war often hires a lot of mercenaries to devote themselves to some battlefield tasks, or to capture a certain fortress, or to escort military rations, in short, where there is a war, there is a mercenary financial route.

Shaanna didn't care about the war between the Tang Dragon Empire and the Rice Eagle Empire, she was not from these two countries after all, the only people who had feelings were only friends and teachers from the Mondrus Demon Martial Academy.

After silently wishing her friend peace, Shaanna noticed what the mercenaries at the other table were talking about.

"Are you going to go to the Otian God Capital to see this year's Blessing Ceremony?" The Otian God Capital in the mercenary's mouth is the capital of the Otian Holy Sect, and the Blessing Ceremony is a grand ceremony held every year by the Otian Holy Sect.

"No, I'm running out of money to eat, so I don't have time to watch the ceremony. The mercenary at the table complained about refusal.

Sha Anna is interested in this ceremony, and the next stop happens to pass by the Ao Tian Shen Capital, if you come across it, then by the way to see the blessing ceremony of the Ao Tian God Kingdom.

After hastily eating lunch and settling the bill, Shaanna left the town and headed straight for the Ao Tenjin Capital.

For five days, Shaanna had been walking along the avenue in the direction of the Otenjin Capital, where a small stone statue stood every 100 meters.

These statues represent the gods of Okuten, and from time to time you can see passing by, the citizens of the Okutensal Sect will worship the stone statues, and occasionally you can see monks from nearby churches carefully cleaning the stone statues.

On the way, Sha Anna also saw many people who came to the Otenjin capital for pilgrimage, some of them were individuals, some were in a group, carrying only a resting blanket on their bodies, and they bowed three times and bowed nine times until they were heading in the direction of the Otenjin capital.

Gradually, there were more and more people like this, and the stone statues on the side of the road became taller and taller, and Shaanna knew that she was very close to the god of Oten.
