This is, of course, a conspiracy, and everyone can see it.

The Knights of Radiance and General Creon are still dealing with the undead in Lion City, and Alina is still in Castle White Hart, but the Bacchus Empire is actually attacking Leon's territory at this time?

And the leader is still Justes - Creon is a friend of Justes and a supporter of the reformists, and Alina is the daughter of Justes......

This is certainly not normal.

Moreover, as soon as Leon transferred the elite troops to Lion City, the Bacchus Empire sent troops, which is a coincidence.

Alyssa had been living in the Shieldwind Fortress some time ago, a castle rebuilt by the villagers that Leon had brought back from Fedne, and Alyssa was more familiar with them, and the villagers of Fedne would be more tolerant of Alyssa, who had helped them - the little snake girl would be easily pointed at if she lived elsewhere.

A few days ago, when Leon was still in the Lion City, the Shield Wind Fortress was suddenly attacked by Governor Justus.

Usually, the Horn Summons Ranger Regiment and the Noldor Patrol would patrol the vicinity of the Shieldwind Fortress, but Leon brought these troops to Lion City in order to deal with Kavala, and the Shieldwind Fortress was not prepared.

The inhabitants of Shieldwind Fortress used to be Bacchus, and they knew that even if the Bacchus Empire's troops breached the castle, they would not easily kill civilians, especially since Justus had always had a good reputation, and there were not many civilians who planned to flee.

But Alyssa must run away because Bacchus' army won't spare the Serpents......

Alyssa has been soaked in potions since she was a child, her skin is too white, her appearance is too obvious, and her tongue is split and she can't hide it, so staying in the Shield Wind Fortress will definitely be a dead end.

So Alyssa ran away as soon as Bacchus' large army attacked.

But as soon as she ran out of the city, Alyssa noticed that many civilians were fleeing.

When I asked, I found out that before Bacchus's army attacked the Shield Wind Fortress, they actually plundered the surrounding villages!

So Alyssa organized civilians to flee to White Hart Castle all the way, and then met Leon who was returning to White Hart Fort from Ellaclair Lake on the way.

What happened to Bacchus?

Who is provoking the war?

Leon didn't know.

But what is certain is that the enemy is well aware of the movement of Leon's troops, otherwise how could this attack be so accurate?

Moreover, Bacchus's army uncharacteristically plundered the area around the Shieldwind Fortress - it was the troops led by Justus!

Justs had never done anything like this.

You know, Alina is still in White Deer Castle, even if Justes is crazy, it is impossible to rob Leon's territory at this time, don't you want a daughter?

Leon ...... Are you doubting that it's me ......?"

Seeing that Li Ang's eyes flickered in thought, Alina asked with some hesitation.

It stands to reason that Alina is indeed suspicious - her own father led his troops to launch an invasion in the eastern region when it was the emptiest, and she is the one who knows the reality of the eastern region, and she can even rely on her good relationship with Amy and Wendy to lead the defense of many garrisons......

But Leon shook his head: "You are my person, I doubt what you do?" I can trust you, Alina, I only suspect that someone has kidnapped your father...... You have to be mentally prepared. ”

Leon didn't suspect Alina, he knew that it had nothing to do with Alina.

After all, Alina has been helping Amy when the lion realm is most dangerous, and Alina has been in White Deer Fort before, and no one has restrained her, if this matter has anything to do with her, then she must have run away a long time ago, and it is impossible to stay in White Deer Fort and wait to be suspected.

It's more likely that something happened to Justes......

Alina was stunned: "Aren't the three prophets gone?" Who else can pretend to be my father? Alyssa, are you sure you saw my father? ”

"Hiss...... I did see Governor Justes, I shouldn't be mistaken...... Hiss...... At that time, he rode at the front. ”

Alyssa nodded to Alina.

"Horseback riding? Rush to the front? My father? ”

Alina shook her head, but relaxed a little: "He's not such a person......"

"It seems that someone deliberately started the war in your father's name...... Alina, I'll ask Ramon to cooperate with you, we need to find out who the enemy is first......"

Leon knows Justes's skills, and if he says that he is not good at martial arts, it can be regarded as a lift - Justes is a cultural person who eats with his brain, and his ability to dance and play swords is generally similar to Anson's, and if he charges ahead, it will be a send-off.

It should be forced to do it helplessly.

But what kind of persecution could make Justes ignore the safety of his daughter?

Ramon is currently stationed at Wheat Collar with his Scorpio Assassins, who had auctioned off the Noldor Elves and was afraid to come to Castle White Hart for fear of reprisals......

Alina was good at handling intelligence, and the fact that Emperor Marius still made her an intelligence officer even in the most difficult times is already very telling.

In the absence of Leon before, it was also Alina who helped Amy manage the intelligence work, but she has always lacked a team that can compete with the ghost wolves.

Now that there is a Scorpio assassin who is good at stealth and disguise, it is natural for Leon to let her use her due ability.

……

Two days later.

The legions of the Bacchus Empire reached the outside of Fort White Hart.

Li Ang watched from the walls of White Deer Castle, and in a trance thought that it was yesterday again.

The Bacchus Empire sent an army of about 5,000 men and camped a mile outside the city—the same place where Leon had first kidnapped the two governors.

Even the largest and most ornate tent, Justes', was set up in the same place as it had been a few years earlier.

Fort White Hart was the same as last time, with only a few hundred troops—again mostly archers, and no reinforcements for the same short time.

Only Mai Xiang has a force of three hundred men that can be used as reinforcements - this is also the same as last time.

But this time, it was Li Ang who was guarding White Deer Fort.

Moreover, the archers in White Hart Fort are all Noldor elves.

McChan's troops were no longer lion knights, but Scorpio assassins—more suitable for kidnapping.

Moreover, Alina has already asked the Scorpio Assassins to carry out the kidnapping......

But this time I didn't plan to use decapitation tactics to solve the problem again, but to catch a living mouth to understand the intelligence.

"Leon, the Assassins have found new information...... Keros is currently near Serenmis, and he has a cavalry army of the Shadow Legion, about two thousand. ”

Alina appeared behind Leon with a small notebook: "This incident was probably done by Kairos." ”

"Kairos? Isn't he missing? When did you come back? ”

Leon turned around: "He used this tactic of dividing soldiers into two ways again?" What is this for......"

Yes, Bacchus is still divided into two ways this time like last time, and even the route and operation method are exactly the same - Kairos led the Shadow Legion straight to Serenmis, while the infantry attacked White Hart Castle.

"It is said that he just came back two months ago, so we haven't heard from ......"

Alina frowned and said, "But according to the people we caught, as soon as Kairos returned, His Majesty Marius was seriously ill. Moreover, it only took a few days for all the old-fashioned nobles of Bacchus to reappear and gather around Keros...... For example, the Shadow Legion. ”

In recent years, the carriage and horses have been very slow, the transmission of news has not been smooth, and it is not special news for Kairos to return to China.

But Keros gathered all the old-fashioned nobles in a matter of days, and organized such a large army?

How is this possible...... There was not enough time to deliver the message, which was clearly premeditated.

The conservative faction of the Bacchus Empire was actually the traditional aristocracy that did not approve of the reform, most of which disappeared when the Bacchus Empire was in crisis, and many of them were dead - such as Livius.

And last year Bacchus was doing well, and many of the 'missing' nobles jumped out again, mostly trying to restore their status and property.

But Emperor Marius paid so much to make the country politically harmonious, of course, he will not let them do any worse, but Marius's policy is relatively mild, and he does not deal with these former 'missing persons', but just ignores them.

After all, these nobles did not do evil in the country, and most of them were able to make up some excuses such as 'fleeing back after being captured by the enemy', and it was not easy to deal with them as deserters, and if they were suppressed on trumped-up charges, they might cause more trouble.

However, over the past year, Marius and Justes have encountered several unsuccessful assassinations.

In fact, everyone knows who made the assassination, but no evidence was found.

Originally, it stands to reason that these nobles who don't know the times can't make any big waves.

They didn't have many soldiers at their disposal, and it was difficult for them to stick together - they were just a bunch of greedy moths, and Marius wasn't much worried.

But who knew that this group of moths could gather such an army in just a few days, and make Marliu too sick to control them, which must have been deployed long in advance.

Leon sighed, he could understand why these old guards were starting a war, and why Keros was attacking him......

Recently, the Bacchus Empire has gradually become stronger, and if Emperor Marius destroys Dexia, then half of the continent will be integrated by Marius, and it will be even more difficult for the old school to turn the waves.

They have to mess up Bacchus, and the more enemies the Bacchus Empire has, the more chances they have.

If they can attack White Hart Castle, they can not only plunder, but also force Marius to make the Shadow Legion become the main army of Bacchus again - Bacchus only has one ally, and if he becomes an enemy of Leon again, Bacchus will become the enemy of the whole continent, and he can only use the way of conquest to go all the way to the dark.

And attacking White Deer Fort is not only in line with the current situation, but also in line with morality and rules - White Deer Fort is full of Noldor elves, and attacking Noldor Elves must be innocent!

In addition, Changhe Town and White Deer Fort are relatively empty, so there is no pressure to do this vote, and Emperor Marius can't blame them.

Besides, after fighting Fort White Deer and capturing the Noldor Elves, it doesn't matter what Leon will do, anyway, there must only be enemies between Bacchus and the Noldor Elves - Mario can only let the Shadow Legion stay in the eastern region to block the Noldor Elves from retaliating, and their goals can be achieved.

"Who are the tongues that the assassins chose?"

Leon asked with a frown.

"It's Desimus ......"

"Desimus? I think I've heard the name......"

Leon turned.

"He used to be the lord of the village of Buyulin, and then there was a red death in the village of Buyulin, and he left the villagers and fled, and then he didn't show up again...... Last year, when my father was rebuilding the Imperial Harbor, Desimus appeared and demanded that my father return his lands and possessions...... My father refused. Subsequently, my father was assassinated several times, and the killers were all dressed as snake worshippers. ”

Alina replied quickly.

"In other words, it is possible that Desimus is a snake worshipper? The Red Death in the village of Buyulin is also related to him? ”

Leon guessed.

This is all normal, there are indeed many lords in the Bacchus Empire who defect to the Serpent Cult, and the doctors of Desimus, who originally belonged to the Shadow Legion, the Knights of the Radiant Cross, also said that most of the Shadow Legion people were corrupted by the Serpent Cult.

"There is no clear news on this...... But he was a subordinate of Kairos, a member of the Shadow Legion. ”

Alina said with some unhappiness: "The people of the Shadow Legion have lost their status in the past two years, and they may be trying to regain power. ”

"It's really interesting, these cowards, if they want to control power, they might as well take advantage of Emperor Marius's serious illness to do something big in Siyuan City - such as mutiny and seizure of power."

Li Ang shook his head: "But they sent troops to White Deer Castle...... Not to mention that there are so many Noldor elves in White Deer Castle that they can't attack, even if they can defeat them, they will still be cleaned up after Emperor Marius recovers......"

"yes...... They're a bunch of greedy cowards, but they're disgusting. ”

Alina nodded in agreement with Leon.

"What kind of coercion did your father have...... It is estimated that it has something to do with Emperor Marius's illness. ”

Leon looked at the tent outside the city, and felt the urge to break into the enemy camp alone again......

After all, everything was very similar to the last time, and he inexplicably felt that it might be arranged by fate......

"Don't go...... Leon, you are no longer the nobody, everyone knows you...... Moreover, three Scorpio assassins had died in order to enter my father's tent, and they were very well guarded. ”

Alina stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Li Ang's clothes: "Let's think about how to break the enemy...... And I don't think those cowards have the ability to make such a big battle in such a short period of time. ”

"You're saying that a couple of other countries are doing something in it? They're coming for me? ”

Leon shook his head, "Probably not—I came back from Lion City with Wendy, and they had already sent troops when I was still in Lion City. That is, they don't know I'm here, they're not here for me personally. But there are already five thousand people in White Deer Castle alone, plus Kairos and the Shadow Legion in Serenmis, adding up to seven or eight thousand, this scale is indeed impossible for those nobles who have lost their power alone, and most of the other countries have also conspired...... They all want to make Bacchus the enemy of the entire continent......"

Alina sighed: "Shall we break through from White Deer Fort first, go to Changhe Town to organize an army, and stop Kairos first?" ”

"No, if we give up White Deer Castle, all the enemies will gather in Changhe Town, and the construction of Changhe City will be over...... Moreover, White Deer Fort can't afford to lose ......"

Leon also sighed: "Not to mention that Pande Bank is still here, just because of the importance of White Deer Castle to the Noldor Elves, I can't abandon White Deer Fort - if I can't show my determination to protect this place, how can the Noldor Elves keep following me?" ”
