War broke out.

But the main battlefield was not in the county of Holm, but in the territory of the Grand Duke of Nes.

According to Lyle's suggestion, the High Priest of Balu provided the information to the neighboring countries, and focused on the Mithril chariot made with dwarven technology, and the three princesses of the main battle faction of the neighboring country immediately tore up the peace treaty signed thirty years ago, gathered the army and the paladins of the religious country to form an alliance, and secretly made a detour to the place where the chariot was produced.

Originally, 'smashing the Yellow Dragon' was not a reliable strategy, and it was extremely easy to be 'dumplings' when it went deep into the hinterland, but if the tank factory was controlled by the coalition forces and the final assembly process was completed, the battle situation would be reversed 180 degrees. In a panic, Teoro left the ruins behind and led the Knights of the Train to help, only to be met head-on before he could join up with the capital garrison.

The first encounter ended in a crushing defeat for Teoro, which had nothing to do with the talent of the leader, but simply suffered a loss of troops. Teoro, who managed to escape, gathered the defeated army and sent a letter asking the lords to send troops to support, vowing to recapture the chariot production line in the capital.

"[Barusmus has invaded the county of Holm with another Templar army, and is now in the city, asking for reinforcements] - that's pretty much it, father." A cloaked man suggested Lyle.

“…… That's all there is to it. The Count sighed and put down the letter that the messenger had brought asking for troops.

This lie is unscrupulous, and the so-called 'soldiers are in the city' are actually the Templars stationed in the villages to the north to help destroy the monsters, and Teoro will inevitably be furious when he receives the letter, and he will inevitably settle accounts after the war. But their choice to refuse to send troops is the main premise, which is already the most euphemistic excuse.

The Earl still couldn't muster up the strength to write a reply, and said melancholy: "...... Do we count this as treason? ”

"I'm sure I'm counting," although he wasn't directly involved in the battle, just monitoring the movements of both sides, lest there be a massacre of civilians or a reproduction of ancient magic, but if he really cared, Lyle would definitely be more on the side of the coalition," Father's words...... It depends on whether you are loyal to the Grand Duke or the Grand Duke~"

The first heir in line to the throne in order to take power in advance murdered the current ruler, the current ruler is half-dead and has lost the ability to govern, whether it is a rebellion or a conflict within the family, as a subordinate It is difficult to judge, and this behavior is generally characterized according to their own interests.

The earl was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say, "...... Lyle, can't you really save Your Excellency the Grand Duke? ”

Archduke Ness is not a very good monarch, but he has not felt too much injustice so far, and the seat of the earl is very firm, and there is a little friendship.

"The Grand Duke who has regained his sobriety may not let the war develop in the direction of the Duchy of Nes, so let's stop there." Lyle shook his head, refusing to use his healing magic to treat the Archduke Ness, who was currently in the custody of the Coalition, "Besides, this is karma between parents and children, and he can't blame anyone." ”

The Grand Duke's family had a very strict education method, and the cross scar on the face of Teoro, the son of the Grand Duke, was obtained from his training as a child. Since he has raised his son to be a wolf, it is normal to be bitten to death by a wolf when he grows up.

"Is karma between parents and children ......?" The Count couldn't help but look at his son.

"Dissatisfied with me for driving you down the path of treason?" Lyle squinted his eyes and looked back, and said dissatisfied, "I've moved the war from Holm to another place, and I'm ready to fight Didos in full condition, and the most filial son in the world is no different, right?" ”

Changing the main battlefield to another place is not just a recipe for disaster, but also a plan to destroy the chariot and its production plant, Lyle doesn't mind the chariot detonating the war of this era, but it can't be when Didos hasn't dealt with it yet!

"A filial son will not die sooner than an old father." The Count shook his head, quill pen in hand, and bowed his head to write a letter.

In fact, he originally wanted to say that he taught a good son.

"Then I can only pray to the son of prophecy to save the world~ Then, I will go back first, lest Her Royal Highness the Third Empress make trouble for me again." Lyle unleashes a teleportation spell and leaves.

》》》》》》》

The religious state did not take the ruins of the county of Holm to heart, and has been working to exterminate the infidels in the southern plains and expand their sphere of influence. It wasn't until the war with the infidels came to an end that they set their sights on the ruins, and some of the high-ranking advocated sealing, some of them advocated eradication, and finally sent the war general-Barusmus to carry the 'Holy Sword' to act according to the actual situation.

If it was in a state of lack of information, the Grand Priest of Balu would have chosen the most secure 'seal', but now that he has received the information provided by Lyle, he has found that the temple does not know how to seal the Dream City at all, so he can only choose to 'eradicate' and lead the right-hand man to join the adventure team of the 'Child of Prophecy'.

Enter the parched, rancid royal tombs and make your way up a spiral staircase that makes the most of the space to destroy the dead who can't rest in peace as they rise from the catacombs, from Didos XV to Didos II. Every emperor is a great powerhouse, even the Grand Priest of Balu and Rabang will find it tricky, but fortunately every time they are beaten.

Even so, they had to return to the surface frequently to rest and heal, spending a lot of time exploring that didn't match the distance they had to explore to reach the bottom of the mausoleum...... It can be said that the willows are bright, but objectively speaking, there should not be such a thing as a 'small town' in the mausoleum.

After all, the entrances and exits are sealed, the town is barren to the extreme, buildings are built like insect nests, and the townspeople seem to be feeding on mushrooms and some unknown small creature.

Obviously, there were residents peeping inside the building, but they didn't show up for a long time, so they could only move forward cautiously, and once they found a group of powerful grave keepers pouring out, they immediately broke through the way they came—and then they came to the square where the townspeople gathered.

"...... this!?" The faces of the crowd changed drastically.

Although he is not a grave keeper and has no weapons in his hands, the inhabitants of the town are all deformed.

There are people with long hands and feet, there are people who are missing arms and legs, there are people who are huge, there are people who are small, there are people who look like monkeys, there are people who look like frogs, everyone's body seems to have been twisted, if they walk on the ground, they will be regarded as night seeds, but their expressions are very rational.

"You're ......," the class couldn't help but speak.

These deformed humans have white skin, white hair, and red pupils—just like him.

An asymmetrical, swaying woman who walked, but whose demeanor conveyed grace stepped out of the crowd and shouted, "Prince, you have finally returned here, we have been waiting for your return!" ”

“…… Sure enough......" Grand Priest Balu looked at Ban, he joined the team too late to see the evidence of the other Hammer Squad's 'Prophecy Child' or 'Last Descendant of Didos', and this was the first time.

The deformed woman continued, "We are a family of tomb guards who have inherited the blood of the noble royal family, which was determined by the great first emperor in the distant past. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, the First Emperor brought our close relatives together, and for a long time, our posture became such an ugly thing...... However, more than ten years ago, Your Royal Highness, you were born, flawless and without any mutations, you are the prophesied child. ”

The deformed townsfolk cheered, but Ben's body trembled unconsciously as if he had heard some terrible roar.

"Soon after, an envoy from the First Emperor came and sent His Royal Highness to the ground, placed him in a cradle and went down the river." The deformed woman stretched out her hands and approached Ban step by step, "You who have the same blood and a similar life as the First Emperor will be equal to the First Emperor himself." And through you, the First Emperor will be able to reign again over the world...... We, the Grave Keepers, will be able to see the light of day again. ”

“…… No, don't come near me! Greeted with a warm welcome from the townspeople, Ban turned and fled.

Today's exploration can only end here. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
