Chapter 66: Target - Standwick!
No one could have imagined that the war would take such a turn.
The old king of Erathia, Griffin Hart, known as Griffonheart, will be poisoned shortly after the war begins.
The prestige of this old king is even higher than that of Tyrenus of the kingdom of Lordaeron, when Tyrenus died, King Lordaeron was directly destroyed by the counterattack of the death knight Arthas, and now that the griffon's heart is dead, the situation is not much better.
If the old king had died of natural causes, according to the news brought by the angel Passat, the king had been poisoned by his own people.
The traitor had long been in league with Diya's necromancer, and according to the fact, the poison that poisoned the old king had been passed from Diya.
In this way, people's hearts suddenly floated.
Although it is not yet known who killed the king, there is no doubt that the people who can do this are the people the king trusts, and even he betrayed Erathia, what does this make the others think?
What's more, as soon as the old king died, other countries around him that had good relations with Erathia began to stir up.
In addition to the underground lords of Nigon and the Kregans of Ofer, who had long been allied with Diya, Tytaria and Krurod in the west of Erathia were also preparing to take advantage of the fire.
Passat handed them a letter he had robbed on the way to the crowd.
Ten years ago, Erathia had been in conflict on the west coast, and it was because of the peace treaty signed by Titaria that the war was stopped.
But now that King Geffenhardt is dead, it seems to Titali that the peace treaty has passed with him.
In addition, Tetaria thinks that his army is strong, and once he occupies Erathia, he will occupy it forever.
It's just a pity that they lack offensive tactics and need some generals to command their heroes in order to expand their territory to accommodate their growing population.
This letter was sent by the emissary of Tytaria on behalf of King Talos to the mercenaries from Erathia and the borders of Tytalia and Krurod.
In addition to Tetalia, the barbarians of Krurod naturally did not let go of such an opportunity.
It is reported that they are also in close contact with the same group of mercenaries, so naturally they also have plans to take advantage of the fire to rob.
In this way, Erathia can be said to be an enemy of all three sides except the south.
"This scum is simply a sinner for the ages!"
When he heard Passat say this, Adela frowned, and Wilkes slapped the table hard and said angrily.
Xu Mochao was very calm, "What now?" β
"At the moment the whole country is in chaos, everyone is suspicious of each other, suspicious of each other......"
Passat's face was not very good-looking.
As a member of the Angel Clan, he is a staunch supporter of humanity.
After all, I've been working with the Elasia royal family for some years.
But now in this situation, there are some other voices within the Angel Clan, and he made a special trip to the northern border to convey the news this time, isn't it a manifestation of proving his position?
"We must return to Standwick!"
Adela said firmly, "It's too late for the heralds to bring in the news...... If it had been earlier, maybe this wouldn't have happened......"
Standwick was the capital of Erathia and the center of the entire kingdom, and according to Passat, it was not a good place to go right now.
However, what Adela said also makes sense, the current situation is already precarious for Erathia, Griffin Hart has no children, and his only daughter has married overseas, so he has died before he even has time to decide on the royal heir, which is naturally the worst plan for Erathia.
"You're going to fight for the throne?"
As soon as Xu Mochao's words came out, the faces of Angel Passat and Xiao Wei changed.
But Adela shook her head unchanged, "As a priest, I can't inherit the throne, and I never had the intention of doing so. β
Adela was telling the truth.
However, Xu Mochao originally just talked casually, but when he heard this, he nodded and agreed to go to the national capital with them.
But according to Passat, the situation in Erathia is special now, and the use of portals has been banned by the higher-ups, and the only way to get there is on foot.
Even the angel Passat flew all the way.
He can fly, but Adela and the others can't fly freely, but fortunately, it is not a problem to draw two griffins.
It's a griffin, even a royal griffin's ability to fly is much inferior to that of an angel, and it definitely needs to rest when flying for a while, and it will naturally descend quickly.
"Even so, it was faster than how quickly we rode to the capital!"
After a moment of thought, Adlario said firmly, "Wilcais, you stay here, you must defend Phoenix no matter what, now that Erathia is surrounded by enemies on three sides, we must not lose a piece of territory again!" β
"Understood!"
Although it is a pity that he can't go to Standwick with Xu Mochao, Wilkes also knows the current situation in Erathia, and Phoenix City really needs a general to stabilize the situation.
Although the city lord Phoenix is a good hand in internal affairs, he is not good at fighting, so everything still depends on a military general like her.
Passat left with Xu Mochao and Adra, and he had to go to other places for arraignment.
"Good luck, allies from the Angel Clan!"
"Good luck to you too!"
Passat gave Xu Mochao a deep look, his performance on the battlefield just now had impressed the angel, he had already used magic to record all this, and planned to bring it back to the clan to show the elders, hoping to make them change their attention.
With the help of this young man from the mysterious East and his kingdom, Erathia will not fall so easily!
Next, Passat was about to fly to the east, but Xu Mochao and Adela were about to go south, and just as they were about to part ways, Xu Mochao once again showed the ability to surprise the two.
"Xu?"
Quickly turned over and rode onto the griffin, Adela twisted his body a little uncomfortably, but saw Xu Mochao on the side indifferent, as if he was not about to take off.
Xu Mochao smiled and took out the Shura knife and waved his hand: "Go!" β
The Shura knife quickly grew larger and stopped in mid-air.
Xu Mochao jumped up and sat cross-legged.
In the surprised eyes of the angel and the priest, Xu Mochao smiled slightly and explained:
"In our country, it's called Flying with the SwordβI still prefer to fly on my own."
ββ¦β¦β
Write it down, be sure to write it down!
When he saw Xu Mochao's sword flying steadily in the air, Passat was extremely excited.
This mysterious eastern kingdom is too powerful, you must convince the elders!
