Chapter665 I, Lester, am not a demon
Over the next week, more and more people fled from the West, bringing news of the change of hands of Brewsterburg and the rout of the garrison.
Strangely, most of the deserters or refugees are telling a disturbing story, that is, the occupier of Brewsterburg, Emerald Collar, did not launch any invasion of the castle, but instead stationed in the castle to help the army and civilians resist the demons from the underworld, and only a few people claimed that Emerald Collar was the invader and carried out a brutal massacre of the soldiers and civilians of Brewsterburg.
Whatever the rumors, it was an indisputable fact that a strange neighbor had appeared in the west, and many people felt the sudden heaviness of the atmosphere, and even some wealthy merchants began to move their possessions and families further south to avoid being involved in the war.
In the days that followed, there was a shortage of food in Nochland, the price of food rose, and only some grain merchants chose to close their customers, and most of the people who could live in Nochland had some family wealth, and even so, they could only face famine in the soaring food prices.
However, under the call of Archduke Timothy, the Imperial Army once again openly expanded its recruitment, although it did not pay military salaries, but it was also able to manage a full meal, attracting many desperate people to join.
At Timothys' behest, Lord Jerry Ford, Lord Greenton, Lord Acheson, and Lord Ingnati Woods sent magical messengers to Nochland, where they took their seats in the chamber.
As the large magic crystal slowly lit up, four magic messengers cast spells at the same time, establishing a connection with the magic crystal.
Sitting on the throne, Timothy Mo held his opal ring and silently waited for the four magic messengers to successfully complete the consciousness possession.
By the time the eyes of the four magic messengers turned blue, the five southern lords sat together across thousands of miles.
"Old friend, it looks like you've been in some minor trouble lately?"
Timoses looked at the first mage on the right, and the speaker was the Grand Duke of Glinton, who controlled the ancient city of Valx, and was also his strong competitor.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the heart to quarrel now.
"The empire is going to attack us, whether it's a small trouble I don't know now, I only know that the 60,000 people stationed in Brewsterburg have only a few thousand defeated soldiers left in less than three days, and on the outskirts of Brewsterburg, the Demon Face Lord has dug several mass graves, I'm afraid it hasn't been completely filled,
Old man, I can't do it, I don't know if your proud Taknus Legion can slaughter 60,000 people in three days, or I'll give you Nochland, you can try? ”
Choked by Timoses and speechless, Greenton was also a little shocked, from Timothy's mouth and the mouth of the secret agent, he knew that there were two concepts at all, which could make Timoses who had no one in his eyes so afraid, was it really so terrifying to occupy the Emerald Leader Regiment in Brewsterburg?
"Timothy, what the hell is going on in Brewsterburg?"
Jerry Ford's voice was particularly solemn, as a big lord near the coast, although his territory was far from the interior, it happened to be on the route of the Emerald Territory's merchant ships, and he had learned a lot about the Emerald Territory through hearsay over the years.

He had no intention of competing for power, and he didn't want to go against the Emerald Collar, but the Emerald Collar had already reached south, and he couldn't sit idly by.
Immediately, Timothys, with a heavy face, concisely told the four people present what happened in Brewsterburg.
“…… In this way, the Demon Lord led 12,000 people to deceive the gate of the castle with treachery, and poisoned most of the soldiers and civilians by poisoning, and the incompetent Vlad lost Brewsterburg in this way, but the hateful Lord of the Demon Face still wanted to get Nochland in the same way, hmph, he took me for a fool,
I've put the traitors who spoke for the Emerald Leader in a dungeon, as if by some brainwashing spell, and those people have always been steadfast in their belief that the castle was attacked by some 'demon of the underworld', not the Emerald Lord's army,
This alone is not to be taken lightly, and I am looking for more powerful mages and potions masters, and I believe that I will be able to pry their mouths open. ”
After speaking, the four people present were silent, secretly thinking about the stakes.
Strictly speaking, the five of them are grasshoppers on the same rope, and from the time they decided to report to the Supreme Command, and sent the old, weak, sick and disabled to participate in the Demacian expedition, they jointly controlled the southern border of the empire.
Five people have been prosperous and lost since decades ago,
Even the five people competing for the power of the king of the southern realm are up to the point, always maintaining the bottom line that everyone can accept, and maintaining an unbreakable alliance, in this case, even the supreme command of the empire who controls the elite soldiers and strong generals can't do anything about them,
Although it is inferior to the Imperial Legion in terms of weapons and types of legions, the alliance of five can pull out an army of 200,000 people, and it can split the Noxian Empire at any time and drag the entire Valoran Plain into the flames of war.
It's just that the current enemy is not the Supreme Command of the Empire, but the Jade Collar who has always been very low-key, which is a bit of a headache, and it is a monster that the Imperial Headquarters is troubled with.
"In any case, we can't let outsiders meddle in the southern borders of the empire, not even the Emerald Territory."
"That's right, we should join forces to deal with the threat posed by the Emerald Collar."
"I'm okay with that."
Seeing that the other three all agreed to fight against the Emerald Collar, Glinton could only nod.
Expecting this to be the case, Timoses smiled quietly.
"It seems that everyone knows very well who our enemy really is,
The top priority is to uncover the conspiracy of the Emerald Collar and expose the vicious behavior of the Emerald Collar, so that we can occupy the righteousness.
After that, I will send troops to retake Brewsterburg, and I hope that everyone can unite and form a coalition to put pressure on the Imperial Territory, at least let the people of the Empire know what terrible evil the Emerald Territory has done, and it would be better if the Imperial Headquarters also declared war on the Emerald Territory. ”
"It's not that it's not impossible, don't forget that the Emerald Collar is also the henchman of the Great Commander,
If we can get rid of the Demon Lord with our hands, our Lord Blanc will probably wake up laughing in his dreams, but at that time, I am afraid that I will have to face the military pressure of the Emerald Lord, and I don't believe that the Grand Commander will stop the Emerald Lord's army for us......"
Greenton's analysis made everyone present stagnate, the military pressure of the Emerald Leader is not something that anyone can bear, and Demacia can only swallow his anger and hand over a top trophy like [General Theon].
Since the time when the Emerald Leader became famous in the world, there seems to have been no few instances in the history of the Valoran Continent where the Emerald Collar was deflated, and the only few times were extraordinary beings such as 'gods' or 'ghost demons'.
The thought of going to an all-out war with the Emerald Collar made even Timothys a little apprehensive.
At this moment, Lord Acheson whispered.
"You say, how about we convince Blanc to unite with us against the Emerald Collar?
I'm sure he should be more interested in Fidellet's wealth, which is not a place that can be compared to us in the backwoods, and the empire headquarters forms an alliance with us, and can pull out an army of 400,000 no matter what.
If you count the servant army that acts as cannon fodder, there will be even more by then, and no matter how powerful the Emerald Leader is, it can't be our opponent, right? When the time comes, we will be the king of our southern realm, and Blanc will continue to be his Darkwell commander, and the well water will not interfere with the river water, and it is not better than being broken by the Emerald Leader one by one? ”
Lord Ingnat Woods nodded.
"I'm okay with that."
Everyone's thoughts gradually blended and collided, and under the brainstorming, Timoses had a little more confidence to defeat the Emerald Collar.
"Acheson, you're right, and we shouldn't be limited to the Imperial Headquarters, Demacia should also be our potential ally, the Emerald Collar has been high-profile and domineering for too long, don't look at the infinite scenery on the surface, secretly I don't know how many people want to see the Emerald Collar's death,
A super force like the Emerald Collar shouldn't exist in this world at all, maybe as long as we operate it, the Emerald Collar will become an existence that is the enemy of the whole world......
You say that the Emerald Collar is so powerful, is it because there are some ancient ruins in the Nokmoch Plains? Just let the Emerald Collar find out and take it for himself. ”
"It is very likely, whether it is a musket or a cold weapon forging technology, the products of the Jade Collar have always been at the forefront of the continent, and many things cannot be imitated at all, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for the Jade Collar to research it himself, damn it, no wonder the Demon Mask Lord can rise so fast, I'm afraid this is the truth."
Timoses took a deep breath, and while he couldn't see the facial expressions of a few of his old friends from the bodies of several mages, he could hear the irrepressible greed in the slightly rapid breathing.
In the face of such a huge treasure trove as the Emerald Collar, no one would not be tempted.
Thinking of the current rumors in Nokland, Timoses sneered.
"So, the Demon Lord's face is just a lucky tomb robber, obviously the Emerald Collar has so much advanced technology, but the Emerald Collar refuses to share it, I'm afraid it's because of wolf ambitions, and you think, such a powerful force may really have ulterior motives, this time the Emerald Collar forcibly seized Brewsterburg, is it because the Emerald Collar really has a deal with the devil?"
Hearing Timoses say this, several people couldn't help but be stunned, didn't you just swear that the fall of Brewsterburg was because the Emerald Collar was poisoned and plotted to carry out a sneak attack, and now it has become the Emerald Collar and the demon alliance, do you want to nod your face?
Thinking so in their hearts, several people spoke.
"Quite possibly! Otherwise, how could 60,000 people die in three days? Even if you have 60,000 stupid pigs, you have to kill them for a month, right? ”
Timoses, who didn't look very good, lowered his head, eager to punch Glinton through the magic hub.
"I think I'm afraid that the Emerald Collar has already become a demon's lair, you think about it, the Demon Lords of the Emerald Collar are immortal for thousands of years, what is it if it is not a demon? He wears a mask just to hide people's eyes, and I am afraid that the face under his mask is so ugly that he can't see people. ”
"I heard that the Emerald Collar, who forbade the slave trade, often buys slaves from other forces, I'm afraid that those poor slaves have become the belly of the devil's food, the Emerald Collar is really an evil place, it looks glamorous, but secretly I don't know how much filth is hidden."
"I originally thought that the rumored relationship between the Demon Mask Lord and those beasts and Vastaya orcs was made up by third-rate writers, but now it seems that the Emerald Collar banned "One Day and One Thousand Nights, the ancestors of the Vastaya people. The forbidden book of King Liszt is to cover up the demonic nature of the demon lord Lyist, how many human women have been harmed by the man who refuses to let go of the stone beetle?
I deceived so many beautiful girls, and I have so many beautiful harems, I envy them...... Well! Lyster is simply the enemy of humanity! ”
"I'm still okay." Taking advantage of the other four to speak, Lord Yoganati Woods expressed his imminent presence in time.
The five of them discussed for a while, and the Jade Leader seemed to have become a 'human traitor who had mastered the ancient craft but traded with the devil', and everyone was condemned for it.
Seeing that the reality was ripe, Timoses smiled slightly.
"In this case, we have enough reason to convince Demacia and the Imperial Headquarters, Demacia prides itself on being a civilized country, and will definitely not tolerate the existence of the tumor of the Emerald Collar, and Brown will not let go of this opportunity to judge the Emerald Collar, we must let the people of the whole continent know how evil the Emerald Collar and the Demon Lord,
If the Emerald Collar accepts our joint review, if we dare to refuse, the Emerald Collar's crime will be confirmed, and when the time comes, we will be able to get the support of most of the Empire's people when we launch an extermination operation against the Emerald Collar. ”
The other four did not refute, Timoses continued.
"Before that, the capture of Brewsterburg by the Demon Lord of the Emerald Lord's army of 10,000 men is a great opportunity for us, as long as we can catch Lyster, we can see through his true colors,
Even if he is not a pawn of the devil, we can use Lyster to do many things, such as forcing him to tell the secret of the Emerald Collar, or forcing the Emerald Collar to submit, but I know that he has many beautiful women who are loyal to him, and when the time comes, ......"
Greenton interrupted Timothy's laughter by interjecting.
"Lyrcester must be under the joint control of several of us, so I propose that before Lyster leaves Brewsterburg, we form a coalition and do everything in our power to take Lyrcester in one fell swoop, and must not give him a chance to escape."
"I agree."
"I agree with Greenton's suggestion that Lyster is a big deal and it really needs to be taken seriously."
"I don't really have a problem with that." Immediately after Lord Acheson's statement, Lord Ingnat Woods chimed in.
Things have come to this point, and Timoses, who is not very good-looking, can only nod in agreement, otherwise these people are afraid that they will kill him before they deal with Lyster.
"Then all of you, for the glory of mankind, work together! An evil force like the Jade Leader will eventually perish! ”
