Chapter 330: The Palace Night Banquet
The people of Heimu Cliff did not continue to pursue the barbarians, and in the fierce battle, everyone did not have time to recover the javelins, and the feather arrows were also consumed, and there was only one Xiao Huandan left to replenish the fighting spirit, and there was not much combat power left.
Just in case, if it weren't for the 100,000 urgent, the last Xiao Huan Dan would always be used as a backup, Li Feng was very extreme, but he ordered his subordinates to stay behind when they were fighting.
At the end of the battle, the people of Blackwood Cliff could only drive the demonic beast mount to swoop down, and fight the barbarians with the big sword in their hands. There are too many slashes, and all the big swords are rolled up and are on the verge of being scrapped.
Even the Monster mounts began to show fatigue, only the griffin was as fierce as ever. Although griffons are not magical beasts, they are born with an aura of stamina, and in the most extreme cases, they can even fight in the most ferocious posture for three days and three nights. The griffon's reputation in the Titan Continent is by no means in vain.
Seeing the tragic situation of Storm Fortress, Li Feng had already made up his mind to drive out the barbarians, but there was no need to rush for a while. Anyway, even if the barbarians fled into the mountains, the Blackwood Cliff Sky Cavalry would still be able to find them, and it would be easier to defeat the scattered barbarian tribes when the time came.
The people of Blackwood Cliff were all robbers, and they were reluctant to deal with the officials of Storm Fortress, and when they saw the barbarians retreat, they all faded like a tide.
Li Feng was in the confusion, and he also happened to find the figure of Callarens, and he was going to ask this deflated three about Jessica's current situation, but thinking that this guy stayed in Storm Fortress, most of them didn't know much about the situation in the imperial capital, so he hesitated for a moment, and still led his subordinates away.
The Marquis of Auston shouted for a while below, but when he saw that the group of air cavalry that suddenly came without saying a word, they had already flown away, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Not only was the city lord dumbfounded, but all the soldiers in the city were confused, looking at the distant figure in the sky in a daze, unable to figure out the situation.
When the Black Wood Cliff Air Cavalry Regiment came, it was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and at this time, it flew away without saying a word, giving people an incomparably mysterious feeling, coupled with the luxurious lineup and strong strength of the Sky Cavalry Regiment, so that everyone's hearts were full of imagination.
All kinds of absurd and bizarre speculations were put on the head of the Sky Cavalry, and the origin of the Blackwood Cliff Sky Cavalry was quickly arranged into countless versions, and after today's war, the reputation of the Black Wood Cliff Sky Cavalry will definitely broadcast to the Titan Continent.
The Marquis of Auston counted the casualties, arranged for the rearrangement of the defenses, and then left the adjutant to clean up the mess, but he hurried to the City Lord's Mansion himself. What happened in the fortress had to be reported to the imperial capital as soon as possible.
……
Among the royal palaces of Atlantis.
Claudius the Great was giving Gerald and Donald a banquet, accompanied by Jessica and Cindy, as well as the archmage of the court, Archmage Amos.
"The Academy will soon organize a second support for the Western Frontier, and this time it will be led by Master Amos," Claudius the Great looked at the Grand Magus of Amos, and said with a smile: "Since the Parthian Empire has torn up the Wizard Pact and allowed the Archmage to participate in the war, if we in Atlantis do not give a corresponding counterattack, it will be looked down upon......"
There was no expression on Amos's wrinkled face, and his voice was just as flat, "As a royal mage of the imperial court, when facing the invasion, of course, it is incumbent on him, if there is another master in Parthia, Amos will not hesitate to contribute his meager strength." But magic is not made for war, and I beg all due diligence that I can't do against ordinary warriors. ”
Claudius the Great's brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out, with a very graceful smile on his face, "'Magic is not born for war', the master's mind is admirable, for this sentence, please let us raise a glass to pay tribute to the master's benevolence......"
Everyone at the table raised their glasses at the same time and said, "Thank you for your generosity, and toast to the kindness of Master Amos......"
Claudius the Great drained the glass of wine in one gulp, put down the glass, and refilled it with his own maid next to him. The Emperor grabbed a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "The empire will soon have enough white bone powder to be sent to the border of the Western Front, as long as there is no magician or dragon knight of the level of the Great Wizard in Parthia to appear on the battlefield, our Atlantis warriors will not be afraid of any challenge, and Master Amos will be the most solid backing for the warriors." ”
Amos nodded silently, and said after a while: "Thank you for Your Majesty's generosity and understanding, Amos should not disappoint Your Majesty." ”
Although Amos did not make any promises, the promises that came out of the mouth of the archmage were absolutely certain.
Claudius breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Jessica, "Although a large amount of white bone powder is sent to the front line, the priest is also indispensable, the empire has not had a very pleasant time with the Holy See because of the sword of Zhige, and it is difficult to seek the help of the priest, so as the most outstanding young talent in the empire, Jessica Jessica will also take Feifei to join the support team this time and go to the border of the Western Front." ”
Jessica hurriedly put down the knife and fork in her hand, got up and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, fighting to defend the empire is the highest honor of every Atlantean, and Jessica is duty-bound." ”
Claudius the Great laughed, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't be so serious, sit down and talk, little Jessica went out for a trip, how did you learn this?" ”
Jessica sat down in silence and didn't answer.
Claudius the Great glanced at Jessica, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Little Jessica looks a little unhappy, is she still protesting about Sophie's matter?" ”
Jessica pursed her lips, still silent, her attitude very distinct.
Just as Gerald was about to speak, Claudius the Great waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Little Jessica, political marriages between great powers are very normal, Sophie is the princess of Atlantis, she must also bear her own responsibilities while enjoying thousands of favors. ”
Jessica finally spoke, and said angrily: "Sister Sophie has long been mentally prepared for her fate, and political marriage is not unacceptable, but Your Majesty, why can't you marry Sophie to a rude orc." ”
Claudius the Great's face looked a little helpless, "Sophie is an imperial princess, do you think I, as a father, don't feel sorry for my children?" Atlantis is facing the threat of Parthia, and the Orc Empire in the north is also a little imminent, so it is necessary to appease the powerful neighbors in the north first, so that the empire can concentrate on dealing with the battle with Parthia on the Western Front, and a happy political marriage can make the orc's rude mind stop. ”
"A happy political marriage?" Jessica sneered all over her face, "How can a rude orc be worthy of Sister Sophie, who is as delicate and beautiful as a flower?" Your Majesty, Sister Sophie is the treasure of Atlantis, do you know how many people in the imperial capital are dissatisfied with your decision? The aristocratic youth in the imperial capital are even planning to attack the orc empire, haven't you taken these things to heart? ”
"Attacking the Orc Empire? The children really don't know how powerful. Claudius the Great smiled dumbly, and then said solemnly: "The overall strength of the Orc Empire is even better than that of Atlantis, which is needless to say, if you face the invasion of the Parthian Empire and the Orc Empire at the same time, Atlantis will be in danger of collapse at every turn, and the confrontation between great powers is not just a thought." Being able to exchange an imperial princess for an olive branch extended by the orc empire is the result of countless important ministers of Atlantis and a lot of hard work. ”
Jessica wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gerald, and the emperor favored Jessica again, but it was never a good thing to be too pampered and arrogant.
Claudius the Great was silent for a long time before he sighed helplessly and said: "Being forced to marry helplessly is the most humiliating practice, whether as the king of a country or as a father, I will be ashamed of it for the rest of my life." Alas, if bone meal had appeared ten years earlier, I would not have had to endure such humiliation today. ”
Seeing Claudius the Great's rare look of despair, Jessica wanted to burst out of his mouth, but he couldn't say it anymore, and all his righteous indignation was suffocated back into his stomach.
The atmosphere at the table seemed a little calm, and it was rare for Claudius the Great to have such a gaffe, which showed that this incident brought a lot of pressure to the Emperor.
Claudius the Great was a wise emperor after all, and he quickly realized his gaffe, sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Okay, the decision that has been made cannot be changed, this matter is over, let's discuss other topics, Cindy, you are also the most outstanding young talent in the empire, so you will set off with Jessica when the time comes." Are you willing to step up in a moment of imperial crisis? ”
This is the second time that Cindy has walked into the palace, and she has been sitting quietly at the bottom, when she heard the emperor suddenly ask, she seemed a little flustered, and quickly stood up and said crisply: "It is incumbent." ”
"Don't be so restrained," Claudius the Great waved his hand to sit Cindy down, "Donald, don't worry about any danger to your granddaughter, Cindy and Jessica Jessica Jr. will be following Master Amos." Under the protection of the Great Magister, the strong man who can also hurt these two little princesses, the entire Titan Continent is estimated to be able to count them on both hands. ”
Gerald shrugged his shoulders on the side, and Duke Donald was not so casual, solemnly thanked the Emperor before sitting down again.
"Gerald, aren't you going to visit the Red Moon Swordmaster?" Claudius the Great seemed to have forgotten Fang Cai's brief gaffe, and said with a smile: "You don't have to run far this time, I heard that the Red Moon Sword Saint has arrived at the Helox Fortress, and you will follow the support team to give the Red Moon Sword Saint a big surprise." ”
Gerald's eyes lit up slightly, and he said arrogantly, "Is the Red Moon Sword Saint actually far away from the Parthian Palace?" Hey, I happen to have a bit of experience in cultivating the Ben Thunder Sword Technique, so I'll take this arrogant old boy this time in the past. ”
"Thunder Sword Technique?" Claudius the Great apparently did not know about this yet.
Gerald's eyes inadvertently swept over Duke Donald's face, and he nodded with a smile: "Allen, this kid finally has a heart, last time Jessica came back, this kid asked Jessica to bring me some gifts back, and "Thunder Sword Technique" is one of the most precious ones." Don't say anything about the Red Moon Sword Saint now, even if it is against the Peerless Sword Saint, relying on the Thunder Sword Technique, I have enough confidence to win the battle. ”
The Peerless Sword Saint with the Holy Book in his hand was in front of the Red Moon Sword Saint in the ranking of all the saint-level powerhouses in the Titan Continent.
Claudius's eyes lit up, and before he could ask, suddenly a guard with a cross feather on his head walked into the hall with a note in his hand.
The feathered guards usually send 100,000 urgent information, and they have the privilege of entering and leaving the palace freely without reporting.
Claudius the Great frowned and took the note, only glanced at it, and slapped it on the table with a sudden palm, causing juice to splash on the table.
The Emperor said angrily: "Rice buckets, all of them are rice buckets, the lessons of the Hylocks Fortress are still in front of you, and the Storm Fortress was easily breached by just barbarians, has the empire rotted to this point?" ”
