Seeing the young adjutant nod his head without hesitation, Javier realized something. He asked with difficulty, "As far as you know, is there anyone still alive in Viscount Nia's family?" ”

"What is the situation in the viscountdom, the lower official has not investigated the details. But in the city of Abadan, all the blood relatives of the Viscount of Nia have all died. Regardless of whether it is the main line or the branch, all the wives or daughters of foreign marriages are left alive. ”

Understand the meaning of what the young man in front of him is saying. The nobles sitting in the government hall said weakly: "In other words, there is no one who can even raise the banner of blood revenge." "I should praise him for his neat work." "Who the hell is the opponent?"

"On this point, Xia Guan has some speculation." The young adjutant spoke in astonishment. It also immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the government affairs hall.

For an unknown enemy, Javier Poole had a headache. Is there anything more ridiculous than being beaten to the point where you are about to cry, and you can't even figure out who is beating people?

So as soon as he heard the adjutant he trusted, and guessed who the opponent might be, he only said one word: "Say." Because Javier knew that his handsome lieutenant would never be untargeted. The guesses he dared to say in front of him were all with a certain degree of certainty.

"The other party may be the rumored lich who was defeated by the brave thousands of years ago, and the resurrected demon king Tikal and his party." The young adjutant came to a direct conclusion.

Faced with the answer to the speculation, Javier Poole replied with two simple words: "Why? ”

"From the testimony of Acre Niya's entourage, in addition to the two known goblins, there were four dwarves, two men and two women, one of the three human males was an old man, one of the three human females was a mature and beautiful woman, the remaining two were young girls who had just come of age, and finally a child. Although this number does not match the number of Demon King Tikal's group, the key number is consistent, which means that the other party may have a new companion who joins later. Secondly, the magician who handed over the magic sword claimed that his weapon that could read through people's hearts and speak was a box cut, which was also consistent with the sightings of the demon king Tikal and his party on the Po River. It's just that we can't confirm whether the magic sword is really a box cut, and we can't confirm whether the rumored information that the demon king Tikal and his party have a box cut is correct. However, one of the most crucial clues that the lower officials got was the documents they saw on the viscount's desk during the investigation of the death of the viscount. ”

As he spoke, the young adjutant respectfully presented several blood-stained papers to his superior. General Javier Poole casually skimmed through the report from Airship Harbor. Viscount Nia was in charge of airship-related affairs in Abadan City, so it was not surprising to see something like this on his desk.

The young handsome lieutenant continued, "The content of this report is about the order given by the Viscount of Nia to the airport sheriff to seize the airship Sid in the morning. However, all the sheriffs who boarded the ship were killed by the guardians on the airship. According to reports from those who did not board the boat after they escaped, the guardian of the Sid was an elemental creature, but with a zombie-like withered head. Using a broadsword, the blade of the sword glows with a streamer and makes an unusual sound. Based on the characteristics of this weapon, it is speculated that it may have been the secret weapon of the Karlsruhe Empire's dragoons, the Ship Cutter. ”

As soon as someone heard this, he anxiously shouted: "What, are they spies for Karlsruhe!" ”

In an instant, everyone looked at the person who spoke as an idiot. Obviously, everyone has said it before, it is the demon king Tikal and his party, why did they get involved with the spies of Karlsruhe again. Javier Poole didn't bother to explain to the non-brainy subordinate, and said to his adjutant, "Go on." ”

After saluting, the young adjutant continued to speak, but he still explained: "It is impossible for a spy to bring out a country's secret weapon on a mission, especially if this weapon is so conspicuous. Secondly, according to rumors, the Ship Chopper was not a research invention of the Karlsruhe Empire, but was obtained by other magicians. That man was the magician who traveled with the Demon Lord Tikal, Gabrash Tripwood. And related things also caused an uproar when they traveled through the Vida militaristic state, although in the end it was not resolved. ”

"Isn't that just a rumor?" "It's impossible to think about it." "That's right. I've heard those rumors, and I just thought it was funny at the time. If the rumors were true, how could the mad dogs, who had been shouting all day long to come to fight, let him pass through the entire military country and leave unscathed. "I heard that they also slaughtered a city, and even destroyed the magic tower." "How is this possible, haha, haha."

A group of portraits mocked the implausible rumors, especially if they were about another empire. As countries of the same level, there is no friendly atmosphere between the five empires. All kinds of derogatory terms are used without scruples in private occasions.

But laughing and laughing, everyone couldn't laugh. What does it mean if those rumors are true, and that group of people leaves the mad dog kingdom safely? Even if they belittle each other, they can maintain their current territory and use the name of 'empire', which is the best proof of strength. And such a country, what other reason can there be for letting this group of people go.

The 'Empire' is not the most top-notch existence. There are gods and extraordinary individual forces in this world, and in the face of these existences, even if the empire can defeat the opponent, is the war dividend greater than the loss? If not, then what's the point of a deathmatch with an opponent?

The history of the Lost Land is not without a declaration that 'any individual force that may threaten a state should not exist in the world'. He even practiced to subdue, control or kill the capable people in the country one by one.

In the end, none of these countries survived to this day. Because those who cannot be tolerated have become the sharp knives of the hostile country, and they have stabbed into the chest of the betrayer in the name of the country. Or when faced with a natural counterattack, they simply can't find enough force to confront the King of Warcraft. see

All the kingdoms of the lost land today have found a way to get along with such people. Basically, as long as you don't have a mortal enemy, you'd rather send the other party away than die against the opponent. But the number of such people is very small, and most people live for a lifetime and do not necessarily meet one.

What if you do?

As the top instructor of a region, how to choose?

Holding his head, Javier Poole felt like he had been trapped. If it weren't for the fact that Akar Niya's recognized Trouble in Abadan City had died, he would have gone and turned that trouble into a dead corpse himself! It's a good thing that he's dead even the people he can anger.

But now is not the time to get angry, or to look for someone to turn your anger on. The other party started to kill all the family of the Viscount of Nia, and even buried the soldiers of half of the legion brigade, which means that the other party is no longer satisfied with the scare methods of the previous few days. He had to find a solution now, or he might not survive tonight.

"The opponent is the Demon King Tikal." General Javier Poole muttered.

The term 'Demon King' is mostly used for people who can easily destroy the world, or control the entire world by means of violence and terror. In the history of the Lost Land, there are not many people who have been named the Demon King, and Tikal is the closest to modern times, and the last Demon King. The heaviness of the noun can be felt even if it is not in that era. So most people would rather not believe it than admit that the demon king has been resurrected.

"No, General, I have reason to believe that it was not the Demon King who did these things."

"Oh, who's that?" It is as if there is a life-saving dawn for this promising future. Javier asked hurriedly.

"It should be the male mage of the Demon King Tikal's party, Gabrash Tripwood."

"The name...... Haven't heard of it. ”

"He is the creator of the forum and the revival of the tower of the great sage. It is said that he is the only human who is not a member of the Turtledove League, but has been able to enter the High Council. ”

Maybe the last rumor is not credible, but the first two exploits are real and no one can deny them. Forum, the most magical and important magical creation in recent years. Even aristocrats or simple soldiers could not ignore the convenience that this weapon brings.

Unfortunately, this thing cannot be controlled by the Empire, and in fact no one knows how to control it, not even its creator.

As for the second one, the Abyss Invasion a few years ago, it was a major event that spread throughout the Lost Land. Perhaps countries outside the Southwestern Peninsula are limited by the division of their borders and have no way to open their armies to the place where the Abyssal Gate is scheduled to open. However, the forces and materials of the Magician Association and the various gods and churches were unabashedly concentrated in the southwest, as if they were preparing to start a holy war.

In this regard, several major empires either sent envoys or appointed trustworthy adventurers, and after confirming the news of the Abyss Gate, they also began to prepare for this upcoming realm war. In the end, these preparations did not work. And the gate of the abyss, which was feared by others, was also closed by the abyss side within a day of being fully opened......

This unprecedented ending is because of the three-story magic tower guarding the door. Originally almost forgotten by the world, the magic tower built by the great sage Atoli himself, which radiated a new vitality in this era, and directly killed an abyss lord - Dejanyuk.

These things were recorded in the chronicles of the Church of the Gods, and even some believers who worshiped demons could learn that the Maharaja who was not dead became the laughing stock of the demons in the abyss. But...... No demon dared to open the door of the abyss in the same position again. The ferocity of that tower has not yet been solved.

And the magician who remodeled the tower appeared again when he was about to forget about this man. As soon as we met, there was a big problem in front of us. Although he is not old, there are already a few gray-haired generals who are about to cry.

It's just that with such a person as an opponent, will it be better than against that demon king?
