As time passed, the Tarot Society came to an end, and the members stood up and bowed to the top of the bronze table.

This time, Leonard didn't appear to be so sluggish again.

The crimson glow dissipated, and he returned to the real world, with a red glove in front of him.

At this moment, a slightly old voice suddenly sounded in his head:

"Who did you go to in your dream?"

The old man woke up? Leonard was overjoyed at first, then relieved.

Leonard pondered for a moment and spoke:

"Old man, do you remember the time you were approached by Amon two days ago?"

In his mind, a slightly old voice said quietly:

"I just lost the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1, not my brain."

Leonard coughed dryly and diverted the subject:

"At that time, I was thrown out of the bone chapel by you, and I didn't know that I had your doppelganger on my body, and I mistakenly thought that you were lucky, and I chose to pray to Mr. 'Fool'. For I remember you once said that the 'Fool' and 'Amun' are destined enemies. ”

"Because you fell into a deep sleep not long after that, old man, and I didn't have time to explain it to you."

"Mr. 'Fool'...... Well, He's got an organization that has a pre-God meeting every Monday afternoon, a real pre-God meeting, and I'm a part of it now. ”

After listening to Leonard's explanation, Parles Zoroaster was silent for a moment, and after several seconds sighed:

"Your choice at that time was not wrong, Amon came to me because he couldn't help that 'fool'."

"Amon planned it, and he knew that the 'fools' would interfere, so he chose that way."

Leonard lowered his voice:

"Old man, are you regretting it?"

"Regrets? Not. ”

Parles Zoroasd sighed and said:

"Although from the point of view of the present, if I had held on a little longer, the help of the 'Fool' and the Seven Gods would have arrived. But the situation was so critical that I could not pin all my hopes on a 'fool' whom I had never met. Your prayer to the 'fool' is also unexpected, and there is nothing to regret. ”

Leonard nodded knowingly, then picked up the red gloves on the table and walked out.

"Are you going to church?" Parles was a little surprised.

"Nope."

Leonard shook his head and said softly:

"I'm going to confirm something."

Leonard left the house and glanced at 6 Pinster Street next door, where siblings Benson and Melissa lived.

The captain they live at number 5 and he lives with old Neil at number 7.

Leonard kept wondering if Klein was still alive, would he really be able to completely leave his brother and sister alone?

Now that I think about it, it's obvious that I can't.

The bombing two days ago is the best example of this.

The Fersak Empire's airships had only just flown over Beckland, and Melissa and Benson had already arrived at St. Samuel's Church before the bombing began, which was obviously unreasonable.

Pinster Street, while not far from St. Samuel, is by no means close.

Less than two minutes elapsed between the time it happened and the time they arrived at the church.

To be able to reach the church in such a short time, there are only two possibilities -

Either someone told them in advance that Beckland would be bombed, so they didn't actually arrive at the church in two minutes, but left ten minutes or even half an hour early, so they could rush to the church to seek refuge before the bombing started.

Either someone had been secretly protecting them, and as soon as the Vorsack Imperial airship appeared, they were brought to St. Samuel's Church within two minutes with their extraordinary ability of 'teleportation'.

And for both speculations, Leonard is undoubtedly more inclined to the latter. And the person who was able to take the brothers and sisters Benson and Melissa, who were just ordinary people, to the church to seek refuge in the first place could only be Klein! ——

North End, Pacefield Street.

The Hall family's luxury carriage stopped on the street outside the church, and Audrey put her hand on the hand of her personal maid Anne and slowly stepped out of the carriage.

She was about to enter the church when she saw a newsboy brandishing a newspaper and running quickly through the streets and squares.

"Extra! Extra! Fenerpot's brazen invasion of Leenburg! ”

Audrey's expression moved slightly, and Anne on the side immediately understood, stepped forward to stop the newsboy, took out a coin in the denomination of 1pence, bought a newspaper, and handed it to Audrey.

Audrey flipped through the newspaper and thought more and more heavily:

"Maybe it won't be long before the South will become a battlefield."

The Kingdom of Fenerport has always been friendly with the Ferneport Empire, and during the War of Oath 600 years ago, the then kingdoms of Intis and Rune seized the opportunity to wage war to protect freedom of faith, and the only country that chose to help Feneport at that time was the Fursack Empire.

Although the final result was the independence of the Lenburg, Marcy, and Segal kingdoms, and the defeat of the Fenerport Kingdom and the Fursak Empire, this only made the connection between Fenerport and the Fursack Empire closer, and at the same time, the two countries became more hostile to the Kingdom of Rune and the Kingdom of Intis.

Since the end of the War of Oath, there has not been a large-scale war for more than 600 years.

But everyone knows that in the event of a war, the kingdom of Fenerport will definitely stand firmly on the side of the Vorsack Empire.

Therefore, for the invasion of the Fenerport Kingdom, the Rune Kingdom has actually been prepared for a long time.

That is the Marcy who believes in the god of knowledge and wisdom between the kingdoms of Fenerport and the kingdoms of Rune, and the three kingdoms of Lemburg and Segar, which are sandwiched between the kingdoms of Fenerport and the Republic of Intis.

Whether the Fenerport Kingdom is attacking the Kingdom of Intis in the north or the Kingdom of Rune in the east, it must first deal with the three small countries that were once split from the Fenerport Kingdom.

Because if the Fenerport Kingdom chooses to directly start a war with the Republic of Intis or the Kingdom of Rune on the front line, these small countries will inevitably take the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive in the rear, and whether it is taking the opportunity to drive straight into Fenerport City, or cutting off the supply line of the front-line troops in the rear, it will put the Fenerport Kingdom in a crisis of being attacked on the back.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Fenerport will definitely prioritize the three small countries around it.

In this way, the Kingdom of Rune will also be able to gain a certain buffer time, and this time can be used to mobilize troops to stabilize the defensive line, as well as follow-up support to Ma Xi and other countries, which are all routine operations.

Of course, the current Kingdom of Rune is too busy to take care of itself in the face of the attack of the Fusak Empire, and it is difficult to organize enough forces to help Lenburg and other countries in a short period of time, and this help can only rely on the Republic of Intis.

Under normal circumstances, Intis would definitely choose to help these three small countries against the Fenerport Kingdom.

After all, the battle of breaking the oath of the Kingdom of Fenerport and allowing the independence of the Three Kingdoms of Lenburg was also due to Intis. Therefore, even if the Republic of Intis does not help the Kingdom of Rune against the Vorsack Empire, it will definitely help the Three Kingdoms of Lemburg against the Kingdom of Fenerport.

But that's just in theory!

The problem now is that it has been two days since the outbreak of the war, but the Intis Republic has not taken any action so far - they have neither taken precautions to strengthen the border defenses on the border with the Vorsack Empire, nor have they sent troops to Lenburg and other countries to deter the Fenerport Kingdom!

And this attitude of waiting and watching is actually in a sense indicative of the attitude of the Republic of Intis - they may not be firmly on the side of the Kingdom of Rune, as the upper echelons of Rune think.

Audrey heard her father and brother arguing more than once, and each time Hibbert would complain that the Republic of Inthys did not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, which was first proposed by Russell the Great.

Count Hall has not said anything about this, but it can be seen that he is also worried about Intis's attitude - because judging from the current situation, since Intis did not choose to side with the Kingdom of Rune in the first place, it means that they are likely to fall to the Vorsack Empire!

And once this happens, then the situation of the Rune Kingdom is really dangerous!

Because if it's just the Fursak Empire, the Kingdom of Rune is actually completely empty. After all, if the Rune Kingdom does not have enough strength, the upper echelons of Rune will not always be planning to take the initiative to start a war.

And if you add the Kingdom of Fenerport, although it will make the war more difficult, with the help of the Three Kingdoms of Lenburg, the Kingdom of Rune can barely hold the front. If you seize the opportunity of the opponent's command error, you may be able to carry out a counteroffensive to a certain extent.

But if you add the Republic of Intis......

Audrey's heart is extremely heavy, if this kind of thing really happens, she can already foresee the end of the Kingdom of Rune.

The reason why Hibbert could not believe that the Republic of Intis would fall to the Empire of Vüsak was because in the War of the Oath, the Republic of Intis had become completely hostile to these two countries, and it was impossible to reconcile.

If the kingdoms of Rune and Lemburg are really destroyed, then the Republic of Intis will inevitably face the liquidation of the Vorsack Empire and the Fenerport Kingdom, as Russell the Great once famously said - how can others be allowed to snore on the couch?

The Republic of Antis knew this, but still chose to wait and see. That shows that the Republic of Antis thinks that it is sure to protect itself from the attack of the two countries, and even has the possibility of a counteroffensive.

And - the hatred between the Republic of Intis and the Vorsack Empire and the Kingdom of Fenerport is perhaps far less profound than the Rune people think.

In the Fifth Age, there were three large-scale wars that broke out in more than 1,000 years, namely the Twenty Years' War, the White Rose War, and the War of the Oath.

The Twenty Years' War was dominated by the Kingdom of Rune and the Empire of Vösak, and the war ended with the defeat of the Kingdom of Rune and the cession of Sunia Island and a large part of the northern territory.

The protagonists of the White Rose War are the Kingdom of Rune and the Kingdom of Intis, which ultimately ended with the Kingdom of Rune defeating the Republic of Intis.

The War of Oath Breaking was the largest war since the Fifth Age, in which all countries participated.

But the problem is that it is the Kingdom of Intis that is involved in this war!

More than a hundred years ago, the coup d'état of Russell the Great had overthrown the original kingdom of Intis and changed it to a republic. Although it was changed to 'empire' for a while, after the death of Russell the Great, the Sauron family was unable to regain its status, and the republic has continued to this day.

In other words, the newly-born Republic of Intis is not in conflict with the Kingdom of Fenerport!

What does the Kingdom of Intis have to do with my Republic of Intis?

Moreover, the reason why the Republic of Intis chose to watch the fire from the other side is actually not unrelated to the system of this country - the other three countries, whether they are empires or kingdoms, are all centered on kings and nobles, while the Republic of Intis is dominated by bankers, factory owners, and merchants!

Those merchants don't care about the inheritance of honor like the nobility, they only care about profit. For more than 100 years, the Republic of Intis has been doing this – where there is interest, they are there.

They will only pursue short-term interests, and it is likely that they will not see the death of the Rune Kingdom after its demise, or they will not care at all, because even if the Republic of Intis is destroyed because of this, they can continue to pursue interests in the Fenerport Kingdom and the Vorsack Empire!

Such values are very different from the nobles who pursue honor, swear to fight for the country, and live and die with the country!

"What should I do if something like this happens?"

Audrey pursed her lips and suddenly became a little dazed. With the character of Mom and Dad, whether it is for the purpose of preserving the honor of the family or because of their devout belief in the goddess, they will definitely refuse to surrender.

But at the same time, in order to avoid the collapse of the family, Dad will definitely pass the title to Hibbert in advance, so that Hibbert will surrender to Intis - after all, compared with the Vorsac Empire and the Fenerport Kingdom, the Republic of Intis will treat their noble distant relatives more or less, but their shrinkage in status and wealth is still inevitable.

At that point, what can she do?

She could leave the Kingdom of Rune with her parents and go to the Southern Continent, to Byam, to stay with Mr. Sun and the inhabitants of Silver City, but she couldn't save her family, her country, and the Night Church.

"I can't do anything......"

The corners of Audrey's mouth showed a touch of bitterness, the strength of Sequence 3 looked very strong, but what she could do was still too limited.

So, at least become an angel too!

The professional instinct of the 'audience' allows Audrey to see farther than others, and the perspective of looking at the future is naturally more pessimistic and negative, but it is precisely because of the professional instinct of the 'audience' that Audrey can quickly adjust her mentality.

The girl took a deep breath, and her thoughts flowed quickly:

"Things may not be as bad as I thought, there are goddesses in the kingdom of Rune, and the lord of storms, and even embers and fools, and counting the gods of knowledge and wisdom believed in by countries such as Lemberg, at least at the god level, there are five gods on the side of the kingdom of Rune."

"In comparison, there are only four gods on the side of the Fusak Empire."

"Of course, if Adam had been a god, he would probably have sided with Fursack, but even then it would have been even. And based on the agreement between Ember, the Fool and the True Creator, this evil ...... Well, the gods might be on Rune's side, too. ”

"Compared to the war on the side of the mortal army, the war at the god level is the key to truly determining the future direction!"

Thinking about it, Audrey suddenly felt that the situation seemed to be far worse than she imagined - and even they had an advantage!

No, you can't set a flag!

Audrey shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind.

Although Russell the Great has long since fallen, the famous sayings he left behind have always been passed down in the Northern Continent and have been passed down by people to the truth by word of mouth.

Audrey is no exception.
