Chapter 446, Aaron is back!
Although he agreed to work with Bariel, Aaron was not very optimistic about the plans of the Sun Elf legend.
Barrell didn't say how he recovered the sword of war, Eleanor asked tentatively, Barrell just shook his head and didn't answer, and everyone didn't force it anymore, people always have to have their own little secrets, loyalty can be guaranteed.
Secret = Loyalty!
The key question is not that Bariel is a mage but wants to become the chief martial arts chief, nor is it whether his plan to borrow chickens and eggs can be supported by Aaron, the key point that Aaron is most puzzled about - how can you be sure that the crowned king of the noble blood of the Japanese elves can look down on you?
Elves are originally appearance associations, and the day elves are even more serious appearance associations, elves are completely sexually mature at the age of 25, but for the day elves, before they are 100 years old, they really learn etiquette, culture, behavior, and ways of speaking, and getting married and having children is a very strange and incomprehensible behavior.
There is basically no political marriage between elves, especially for the three "pure-blooded" elves of the sun elves, moon elves, star elves, love is an extremely sacred and incomparably rare and solemn thing, marriage is an extremely important ritual in life for elves - elves prefer to replace marriage with open relationships, such as short-term dewy lovers and relatively long-term cohabitation relationships.
If it does, it must be the wedding of the century, the kind that the whole community needs to celebrate for weeks on end.
Only in this regard are the elves are so stubborn that no one can force them.
Barrell and Isevile must be betrothed to marry in the presence of Reverend Corellon Rathrion or Hennalie Thranier, and the exchange of vows means the exchange of the source of each other's lives.
Why, then, did Barrell think that with his weight of 220 pounds (almost 200 pounds), his height of one meter and his early sixties, his greasy hair, and his appearance as an ugly man among elves and a decent human being?
Aaron was skeptical.
He didn't say anything about it, as his relationship with Barreel wasn't to that extent, instead, they quickly focused their attention on the captured Demon Elven mage.
"Your Excellency, he said it." Ramsey trotted over and reported: "He said that he was Salazar of the Delajath family, from the Comantor Forest, and that the patriarch Sarya had sent them to pursue Mr. Bariel, and that they had summoned the Yugros Demon because they had been summoned by the help of Ichiatu Sam, the son of Bane, using the portal within the Mistrono. ”
Brakes? Disma?
Aaron frowned, since the last time he and Sham reluctantly teamed up to deal with Birac, the peace treaty between the two sides was abolished, Sham got the artifact of the Imprint King Marchekidd's Artifact Thorn Sword, and then he went to Searle, according to the intelligence, Sham rebuilt the Bane faith in Searle, reorganized the church power, Disma was very active as Sham's deputy, and Sham was not stingy with his rewards, he named Disma "War Commander", and gave him a trace of divine power, so that he was promoted to legend.
That's exactly what Disma wants!
A world of freedom! No more restraints, no more control, and when he led the dark army of Bane's son of Sam through Ser in the name of the commander, Disma finally smiled heartily.
Freely!
"Our enemies seem to be uniting, Your Excellency." Barrell wiped his sweat and politely thanked Samir who handed him the towel, who took Barrell's towel and threw it on the grass without moving, apparently not going to use it again.
"It doesn't matter." There were more lice and no itching on his body, but Aaron was curious: "How did you make this demon elf confess so quickly?" ”
"It's Doherty." Ramsey had a somewhat frightened expression on his face: "He told this demon elf that if he didn't confess, he would ...... Tribal tattoos were used to leave unwashable orc words, savage marks, and runes everywhere on his body. ”
"This kind of shame is unacceptable even to the demon elves." Samir smiled hesitantly: "I understand, I can try next time." ”
"That's right, Your Excellency." Ramsey suddenly asked, "Didn't you create the Chaos Hell Cannon before?" You said you need some demons to reload, it's not ...... today"
The Silver Dragon Knights set their eyes on the corpses of the Yugros demons scattered all over the ground.
The Yogros Demon is also a demon!
"Makes sense!"
Aaron put the party in place and set out to collect the demonic energy of the Yogros demon.
Bariel took the opportunity to start a history class, and the Sun Elf Archmage recounted in detail the story of the "Three Demons" of the Weeping War.
The race of the three demons of the Weeping War is the Yugros Demon, and the class is the rank of the Commander of the Nikaros Demon who just fought Aaron.
The first appearance of the Three Demons was summoned by the Grand Arcanists of Nessreel, simply because "Master Elf, what does you do?" So a Grand Arcanist summoned and drove the Three Demons to attack the Elven Comanso Empire, and after a fierce battle, the Three Demons were sealed, and the Grand Arcanist was killed by the Elven High Mage.
It wasn't until hundreds of years later that the soul of the crowned king Iltaglin returned to Avatar, and the heir Ellavi was assassinated, and Mistron could not choose the crown, but instead let the sword of the crown go crazy and fell into a huge chaos, and no one paid attention to the fact that because of an accidental unbroken seal, the three demons successfully got out of trouble and spent three years forming the largest dark army in history - with a huge second-class Yogros demon as the backbone, a large number of orcs, gnolls, bear goblins, trolls, goblins and other evil races were included in the army of 300,000 under his command, Finally destroyed the City of Songs.
Now, the sword of war has returned.
Barrell hugged the wooden box in his arms tightly.
In the history class of the Magic Academy on Eternal Island that year, Tutor Celinchy recreated that history for us, and I saw Isevile lying on her table and crying, which I will never forget.
At that moment I thought that if I could become the Chief Mage, I would have to win it all back, and now that the Sword of War was in my hands, I had to consider if this was my only chance in my life.
I believe that the elves have such a high place in the history of the kingdom, and that Mistrano has contributed to the restoration of the glory of Comanso, and it is incumbent upon me Barreel Moonflower!
This is for you! Eastwell!
In the middle of summer in 1365, Aaron and the others finally returned to Cormier.
As soon as he entered the country, he received an edict from Alice Serre, telling him to report to Susal immediately.
The Silver Dragon Knights all showed a knowing smile, thinking that our Viscount is really blessed, I'm afraid that the princess misses him?
But as they move deeper into the border, the sight gradually makes them realize that things are not so simple.
Bands of soldiers were gathering in various parts of the kingdom, summer was the time of the scorching heat, the lord's heralds were already running around, a solemn atmosphere was brewing in the cities and barracks, even the peasants were being trained in groups for simple military training after Sunday, and as Aaron approached Susar, the royal flag with the purple dragon coat of arms was hoisted high above the city, and the purple dragon knights were dispatched.
Even a fool can sense that war is coming.
Cormier is about to start a foreign war?
All the surrounding forces noticed this, whether it was Zambia in the east, the valley in the northeast, Jianwan in the northwest, or many city-states in the south, they all kept a close eye on Cormier's movements.
The country of the Purple Dragon had fallen into decline after the fall of Ahsan IV, and everyone originally thought that the country of the Purple Dragon would at least enter a long period of hibernation, but no one expected that only three years later, Cormier would successfully recover Arabel in the north, and once again shook the kingdom by killing the orc Great Khan Tujin in a battle.
Then there is the rapid rise of Aaron Salion, this "last Salian" doesn't know what to do, it seems that it has soared directly from a mediocre down-and-out aristocracy to the upstart of the kingdom overnight, and now the whole country is chasing his "Chaos Coke", when shipping every month, the merchant ships waiting for the goods can fill the entire Feilong Water Lake, and the adventurers are necessary for home travel, killing people and goods, and crossing mountains and mountains.
The price is also cheap, 3 gold coins a bottle.
Silver lotion, goddess stockings, silver incense, and new astral magic, the Nine Books of Salian, new advanced classes, and a new power system.
What's more, Aaron's own strength has grown like a snowball, from a budding who was almost killed by a sorcerer to a savior who fought against the gods incarnated with the fairy princess in Baldur's Gate, Aaron only took five years.
In just five years, Aaron has gone from a viscount with only one residence in the Triple Crown block to a viscount with thousands of troops, a high-ranking dragon covenant with a legendary dragon, a fairy princess to help him fight, a close relationship with the Silver Virgin Suren and even the Night Lady Shar, one of the most lucrative monopoly businesses in the kingdom, and a very close field viscount with Alice Serre, the king of the purple dragon.
All of this makes everyone feel uneasy.
Aaron is back, what does Cormier want to do?
This is something that the entire central region of the kingdom wants to know.
After learning that Alice Sell issued a king's decree to recover Tifanton at the Northern Crossroads, many nervous forces finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know when, what makes everyone afraid is no longer the coat of arms of the Purple Dragon Kingdom, but the Salian family crest hidden in the territory of Cormier!
After entering Cormier's territory, Aaron dismissed the Silver Dragon Knights and sent them back to Sunset Territory with the vast fortunes obtained by the Daemortrics and Baldur's Gate, and he himself took Eleanor into Susar once more.
Holding Miss Priest's hand, looking at Susar's tall city gate, the heavily guarded royal guards, and the queen's blade standing guard at the city gate, Aaron had long since lost his previous nervousness, on the contrary, returning to Susal again gave him a rather leisurely and comfortable feeling.
Now that the Golden Law has been completed, his strength has been promoted to a legend, and he has the magic of the Nine Rings in his hand, Aaron's eyes are no longer focused on some small things in the market, and Aaron used to be subconsciously vigilant when he saw the Queen's Blade, but now he will only feel cordial when he sees the Queen's Blade, and by the way, he wants to punch these Alice Searle's doglegs in the face twice.
"How do we do it? Do you go straight to the palace? Eleanor was by Aaron's side, and Miss Priest didn't really like the big city, she preferred the privacy of the Aquitaine Palace, or the semi-natural open courtyard with trees, water, and ponds in the Temple of Sunset Leader Suren.
"No, let's not go to the palace yet." Aaron let out a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes.
"Let's go home!"
…………
When Aaron arrived in Susar, Alice was still troubled in the palace.
The King's Order went down, but the two Dukes of Cormier, Duke Kenes-Irish and Duke Gordon-Marelli, were very cold to the King's Order.
The first to stand up in support of the conquest of Tifanton was naturally Lady Millman Raul, the lord of Arabell, after all, Tifanton was just north of Arabel, and recovering Tivanton would be equivalent to having a barrier north of Arabel.
The second person to stand up in support of Alice Serre was Kimmich, the northern commander of the Purple Dragon Knights, and this naturally needless to say, the Purple Dragon Knights have long been hungry and thirsty.
Madam Raul had been forming an army early, but the real two dukes on the ground had no reaction.
The first is Duke Gordon-Marelli, who repeatedly complains about his distress and repeatedly shouts after receiving the king's order.
Let's start with no one, in the fire of Susar, the army of the Duke Marelli's family was completely lost.
Besides, there is no army, and the Marelli family itself is a family with the navy and maritime trade as the core, and the army is not large.
He also said that the navy could not be used, that warships could not go ashore, and that trade routes had to be protected.
In short, there is no money, no one, and the profession is not right.
Alice Searle saw that the Duke of Marelli was unwilling to go north to recover Tifanton, because the recovery had little to do with him, but would cost money and effort.
But the princess didn't refute him, the fire of Susar was real, it was also true that Marelli's army suffered huge losses, it was true that the sea trade was the core, and it was also true that the navy could not go ashore.
Duke Kenes also snorted, quite similar to Gordon, what to guard against Zambia in the east, to be wary of the ghosts of Guangze, what storm horns of the orcs have moved again, in short, they can't be separated now.
Duke Kenes only sent a general, Pope, to Susal with 500 frontier garrisons to listen to orders, although these 500 people were not temporary cheerleaders, but they were far from the "elite" in Duke Kenes's mouth, with a set of cuirasses, a weapon, and twenty "knights" riding pack horses and bamboo spears.
As for Duke Kenes himself, he put on a posture of "I'm optimistic about you!" The posture is always unwilling to really contribute, and people are unwilling to come to Susar.
The two field dukes are like this, not to mention the number of troops, if they don't move, how can the other real nobles really contribute?
Alice Searle was spending her days in the palace of Obeszir, and this was her first war since her regency, and she needed a big victory so badly.
Just as he was waiting for strict urging and increasing the intensity, the report of the Queen's Blade arrived.
Aaron is back!
A long drought is about to come to a rainy day!
Inside and outside the palace, there was a lot of cheering, and the regent and the princess were smiling on the throne.
You guy, you still know to come back?
Alice Searle gritted her teeth, but she couldn't suppress her joy.
Aaron is an upstart who has been promoted by himself, he must support him, he is back, and the two dukes are not important.
With him, no surprise!
Updated, ask for a ticket duck~
