Aaron did not get an accurate answer from Ilminster that day.

Promising to send troops to the Great Forest of Comanso was something Aaron had originally planned, and Aaron didn't promise it at will, because he still had Elisestere's business that had to be completed first.

After Aaron and the others left, Ilminster hesitated for a moment, he returned to his room, and after a simple spell, on the other side of the room, the phantom of the legendary archmage Kelburn - Black Rod appeared.

"Il, are you alright?" Kelburn-Blackrod speaks casually.

"Hmm." Ilminster nodded noncommittally: "Don't worry, you can't die."

"Please take care, I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your kingdom." Kelburn-Blackrod said arrogantly, "What would a harpist do without your guidance? Each of them is bolder than the other."

"What about Enok and the Sea of the Moon?" As time went on, Ilminster felt that Kelburn-Blackrod's understanding of "goodness" was different from his own, which was normal, but it also meant that his perception of the harpist might have changed.

"It's not true." The black staff laughed as he spoke, "The Salian Shogunate Army originally had 50,000 people, and now with the newly incorporated Bedai cavalry, the number has reached 60,000, haha, I really want to see what Mansu's expression is now."

"It's serious." Ilminster had a pipe in his mouth, and there was not a hint of a smile on the great sage's face.

"Maximian's vanguard has arrived at Dagger Falls, where the army is encamped, and a steady stream of logistics from Tivanton is entering the camp at Dagger Falls."

"He's not going to attack Santil Fort, at least not yet." Ilminster shook his head with a sad face: "At this time, if he rashly launches an attack, it will be considered a war between him and the dark sun, but if the scale of the war is expanded, the meaning will be different, you see, we have been involved."

"Isn't that what we want?" Kelburn looked very happy to see things ferment: "Don't you want to settle the Santarin Society once and for all? Iir, you are the Great Sage of the Valley of Shadows!"

The Valley of Shadows is just south of the Moon Sea, and for so many years, the main threat has been the Santarim Society.

"There are already a lot of harpists who want to join this war, Iir, and if you don't take a stand with the storm, then there is a possibility that there will be a split within the harpists." The Kelburn Black Rods continue to add weight.

"Aurosan." Ilminster sighed.

Hearing Ilminster call his last name, Kelburn put away the smile on his face: "Huh?"

"It's not that I don't understand your thoughts, and if I could, I would also like to have a complete break with Santarin." The wrinkles on Ilminster's face deepened.

"Then ......" "Listen to me first!" Black Staff!"

Ilminster said in a deep tone, "As the elect of the goddess of the magic web, although Silver Fire is not the top power in the multiverse, it can be regarded as a power that can create miracles, if we join, things will change irreversibly."

"So we have to be cautious and cautious about this." The Great Sage said wearily, "Needless to say, the four evil gods behind Aaron, let's just talk about the Lord of Mankind, Black Rod, what kind of existence do you think he is?"

"............" Kelburn-Blackstaff had a complicated complexion, he wanted to say that the Lord of Humanity was the greatest leader he had ever seen, that he deserved all the praise, and that one couldn't help but want to follow his Golden Strip.

But the Black Rod doesn't follow the Emperor, because he's half-elf, and he identifies more with his elven identity.

Seeing the face of the black staff, Ilminster said slowly, "Now you understand, right? Once he wins, destroys a Santarim, and comes an Aaron Salian, who is more terrible and uncontrollable than the former, how can we be sure that he will not be controlled by the Lord of Humanity and the Four Evil Gods and become an even more terrible Dark Sun?"

"When the time comes, who among us will be able to deal with him? Ilminster? Storm Silver Hand? Or are you Kelburn-Blackrod?"

"No

Isn't it so bad, isn't there the influence of the Silver Lady?" Kelburn-Blackwand immediately said, "And Eleanor and Charlotte, the former is his beloved, and the latter is his magical guide and blood-related warlock sibling."

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Ilminster's mind recalled the emperor's unsympathetic attitude, which could be called the style of a tyrant, and compared to the four gods of chaos, Ilminster was more wary of the emperor.

Kyleburne's attitude changed: "What about what do you think? Il?"

"Politics is the art of compromise, insist on what should be insisted on, compromise what should be compromised, and as long as we discuss openly and honestly, Aaron will definitely be able to understand our concerns." Ilminster said meaningfully, "He can attack the Moon Sea, but he can't be the master of the Moon Sea."

"If so, we'll agree to join him."

"As it should be."

…………

"This stinky old man, the conditions have been raised, the attitude has been given, and the Santarin Society is a feud in the Valley of Shadows, and in the end, he didn't say whether he would join the war or not."

On the way back, the big dragon dragon Egil said nonchalantly: "I can see it, he is a little afraid of you, servant, haha~ This is my servant, if you can't make the other party worship and awe, then let them be afraid, I see, this stinky old man is a little afraid of us~"

Aaron's words caused Aaron to smile, and he took Eleanor's little hand and suddenly said to the little pirate Edward Titch, "Have you learned? Tichy, if it can't be adored and awe-inspired, then let them be afraid."

"Yes!" Titch excitedly said, "I remember!"

On the side, Harald the Heartless remained silent, he didn't say a word along the way, and his son Hafdan in white robe couldn't help but say, "It's still terrifying, hundreds of people's men, a dozen broken ships, can't even fly, and are you still afraid?"

"The desert barbarians are so angry that they act as if you have a fleet." Titch immediately retorted, "What about your fleet?"

"Fleet? What fool needs water to walk the fleet? Floating City is the answer? You haven't fought against the Elven Empire Navy, so you're embarrassed to think you're terrifying?"

"Oh oh ~ Floating City, that's true, so Hafdan, where is your Floating City?" Tiqi grinned, "In the sand, in the valley, in the ground I don't know how many feet deep!"

"You!"

The two young men were on the bar, and they exchanged words and words, and Tić's words were obviously more slurious, after all, he was a pirate, and the white-robed Halfdan, although he was not very good at scolding, but he had a richer vocabulary.

"Alright, stop arguing." Aaron listened for a while, and felt that there would be nothing new, and motioned for the two young men to stop, "Titch, I have a task for you."

"Your Highness!" The little pirate's eyes lit up.

"If I'm right, Zambia will most likely be on the side of the Moon Sea in this war." Aaron said calmly, "Your task is to give a little Cormier a little shock to Zambia's coastal ports when Zambia sends troops into the war!"

"Can you do it?" Aaron described his plan and looked at Titch a little defiantly, "If you can't do it, let Hafdan go."

The little pirate listened to Aaron's plan, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he knelt down on one knee directly behind him: "Please leave it to me!"

"Very well, I'll give you three thousand." Aaron's hand immediately generated a Chaos Insignia: "Remember, invade Zambia, release the slaves first!"

Titch walked away briskly with the emblem, leaving Aaron and the others behind.

"Let's go, let's go back to Dagger Falls." Aaron took Eleanor's hand, signed a contract with Eliestria, reached a constructive consensus with Ilminster, and completed a series of his own plans, all Aaron had to do now was wait for the army to be assembled.

"Aaron, the Valley of Shadows hasn't made it clear that he's going to join us." Miss Priest wore a white gold-trimmed Salian family crest cape, a blue tight-fitting Mithril armor skirt underneath, and a pair of bright silver iron boots on her well-proportioned and straight legs

, the silver Surun forehead is embellished with moon patterns and stars, and the big twisted braid is flicking at the back of the head.

Eleanor is dressed in the style of a female general, but unfortunately, Miss Priest has been defeated many times in Aaron's tent before she goes to war, and Aaron always likes to pick her up from behind, and Eleanor can't resist it, so she can only enjoy it.

"Ilminster, the old slipper, will join us." Aaron raised his head: "The voters of the goddess of the magic net still have concerns for the time being, but if the general trend is in me, they will definitely join in the end, it is nothing more than how to negotiate the conditions, but once the lady of the night announces that she will join the Santarin Society, then Ilminster will join if they don't join."

"Suren Mama will definitely be on our side, since Suren Mama is on our side, then Shar will definitely be on the side of the Dark Sun, since Shar is on the side of the Dark Sun, the Demon Net Electors will definitely join us." Aaron played with the Holy Dragon Emblem talisman in his hand with a smile: "In the same way, the Queen Spider will definitely join the side of the Dark Sun, since the Queen Spider has joined, then the Elven God Department will definitely be on our side, Eleanor, have you noticed that the camp has been divided unconsciously?"

"Then why did we come to the Valley of Shadows to find them?" The white-robed Hafdan said unconvinced: "What you can get at the negotiation table will definitely be grabbed with a saber, and if you can't get it with a saber, you will definitely not be able to get it at the negotiation table!"

"Well said, Havedan, then let me ask you a question." Aaron glanced at Harald the Ruthless, who had always been silent, "I have the power to wipe your saber and your white robe from the desert, why did I make your father the king of the Bedeh, and the commander of my Varangian guard?"

"This ......," Hafdan couldn't answer for a moment, "is it because His Highness admires the bravery of my Bedai clan?" Is it because we believe in Amanata and Suren?"

"Hehe, it looks like you're not old enough to be on your own." Aaron smiled and shook his head, "I'll leave this question to you, go back and think about it slowly."

"Let's go, let's go back to camp!"

…………

The Valley of the Shadows is close to Dagger Falls, where the main camp of the Salian Shogunate Army was established.

It is located at the far right end of the Black Road in the Enoch Desert, between the Great Forest of Comanso and the Border Forest, where the River Tess flows through the edge of the Great Desert, upstream of which is the Sea of the Moon and the Fort of Santil.

Originally, there were a few guards stationed in the Santarim Society, but as Aaron's army approached, the guards abandoned the area, lost it to the shogunate army, and withdrew to Santil Fort.

On the plain below the waterfall, more than 8,000 tents spread out along the river, and the brilliance is like a full moon night, scattered like raindrops in the river valley, and there is no end in sight.

In addition to the banners of Aaron's shogunate army, the banners of many other forces were also mixed in, the Silvermoon Knights of Silvermoon City arrived, the mercenaries of Baldur's Gate arrived, the mages of Waterdeep City arrived, many harpist squads arrived, and even Aaron saw a group of Yalings from the fairy wilderness descend here under the banner of the Court of Joy.

The legion of the holy warriors of the three gods of justice came to join the battle, Rockefeller, the lord of the Dawn of the Church of Loshanda, led an army of 1,500 people to find a place to camp, and the platinum dragon god Bahamut called his followers to participate in the battle, so in addition to a group of half-dragon holy warriors, a group of bronze dragons, two golden dragons, and one silver dragon came.

The convoy of the Bedai barbarians formed a makeshift camp and formed a makeshift town, habitually peddling all kinds of services, and the adventurers and mercenaries from the Vale, many of whom had mortal enemies with the Santarim, could not wait.

"Hahahahaha~" The great dragon dragon Egil smirked: "So many warriors are coming for the reputation of me and my servants, this battle, the advantage is mine!" I'm the Salian Shogunate, invincible in the world!"

"Don't be careless, Egil, although we have a large army, the enemy occupies the upper reaches of the Tess River, and the Fort of Santil is also hundreds of years old, so we should not underestimate the enemy." Eleanor was very cautious, and Miss Pastor always felt that the eccentrics were unreliable.

"What's so great about a small river? With my 20,000 cavalry, as long as I give the order for each cavalry to throw the whip into the river. It is enough to cut off the flow of the Tess River

！」 Egir raised his head arrogantly, the highlight on his forehead fluttering in the wind, full of triumphant joy: "Servant, what about your army of 100 million? Pull it out and yo-yo!"

"An army of 100,000,000,000 will soon arrive at Darksun's doorstep." Aaron laughed but didn't say a word.

Back in the big tent, Aaron returned directly to the depths of the Round Table Hall of the Sunset Collar with a teleportation technique, the Chaos Contract Court.

The Golden Law Ring appeared and called out to the other attendees.

Soon, the illusion of the four gods of chaos descended here.

"It's time to show the world what true chaos is, four!" Aaron said to the four gods of chaos, "Come! Let's go!"

"Good! Very good!" Sadist sat on the brass throne, flipped his brass machete in ecstasy.

"Kabanha and its legion of skullcrers will be there for you!"

"High Lord Kuhl-Crowns and his Killing Frenzy army are ready!"

"I can't wait to taste the blood of the gods!"

"Oh, you're going to surprise me again, my own choice, what kind of changes will this war bring to the kingdom?" Nugan Qi sat on the lotus platform and pinched the Brahma seal in ecstasy, and he twisted his body into a "swastika": "The Nine Lives Brute Bull Gluck and its legion of Split-Eyed Disciples are waiting for your summons at any time!"

"I don't like this war, I hate you messing around." The kind fat grandfather put a little freshly boiled soup in his mouth with his maggot-covered fingers to test the quality of the work, and he said aggrieved but annoyed, "But Isha asked me to do it, okay...... Who made you my child, and Bouillé my child?"

"Father Rotgus Rain and his Legion of Filthy Soup, Legion of Rotten Angels, Legion of Flood, and Brasseur Boys will answer your call!"

All three gods agreed to help.

Aaron set his sights on the last of the Chaos Gods.

"Kouku!" Slaanesh's nostrils and the corners of his mouth kept spitting strange multicolored pus, and the Lord of Pleasure was burping and spitting at the same time, laughing and spitting, and he continued to go crazy with pleasure and discomfort: "Uh, this thing is ...... It's not interesting...... I'm sorry for my love...... I won't...... Participation ......"
