Chapter 187: Assassination in the Mist, Blessed by the Holy Light
The cooperation between the two countries had obviously been discussed in advance.
After a brief exchange between the two sides, a lot of cooperation negotiations were finalized.
As a temporary transfer, Goodern listened silently to the conversation between the two sides after reporting his information.
It wasn't until the two sides had reached an agreement that Olek looked at Goodern.
"Although you have not yet held an important position on the battlefield in the north, considering that you are the main discoverer of the conspiracy of this orc attack, I have decided to leave the matter of uniting with Heflus to clean up the orc undead this time."
Well?
Goodern didn't react a little, why did he suddenly receive the task?
Without waiting for Goodborn to react, Olek immediately said to Anna.
"You can discuss the details of the alliance with Earl Goodern, and he will be solely responsible for this matter."
"In addition, the twenty-fifth of this month is also the Earl Gooden's award ceremony, and if you two have time, you can attend on behalf of Heflos."
"Thanks to the invitation of His Majesty, I will represent the Heflos Kingdom at the earl's award ceremony."
Anna was also very face-saving, and nodded slightly in agreement.
For his father's strange operation, Gooden always felt a little strange in his heart, is it necessary for an earl's ordination ceremony to be so huge?
In the past two days in the royal capital, he has already heard a lot of relevant preparation news.
It can be said that the scale of the conferral is larger than that of a duke, and with the participation of envoys from other countries, this is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.
Gooden thought in his heart, should he be honored first?
But now, after the end of Orek's arrangement, Gudern withdrew in a slight daze and left a message.
"I still have important things to deal with, and you can talk about the rest of the arrangements."
With that, Olek left the hall.
Goodern was a little helpless in the face of this sudden task, but at the moment he had no chance to refuse, so he could only stop this matter and talk about it first.
"The two of you, we met again, I thought the next meeting would be a long time later, but I didn't expect to meet here again."
Facing Anna and Morse, Goodern was the first to greet him.
"I didn't expect you to solve the problem of the northern orcs in such a short time, and you can jump to the earl, now I don't know if I want to call you Lord Earl, or ......"
"Ahem, the job titles are all false, so just call my name."
Gooden hurriedly waved his hand, the two in front of him were also one of the few people who knew his identity, although they didn't say it explicitly, but both sides knew it in their hearts.
Facing Goodern, who was as modest as ever, Anna chuckled and then invited.
"Regarding the matter of the northern border, let's go to the Holy Light Cathedral to talk, which is my station in the royal capital, and it just so happens that I can also be a guest of honor and entertain you."
Gooden, who was invited, did not hesitate to refuse, nodding in response.
"Okay, I just brought some new brewery, just in time for a small gathering."
Hearing that there was new wine, Anna and Moss's eyes lit up, and it was a pity that they left early last time and failed to catch up with the completion of the brewing of new wine.
And now that a new wine was born, the two immediately took Goodborn to the Cathedral of the Holy Light in the royal city.
Although Anna is not a heavy drinker herself, she has little resistance to the food and wine that Goodern offers.
But as soon as Goodern stepped out of the hall, Olek's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Do you have good wine to me? If you don't leave me two bottles when you come back, you can pay the bills for these two days. ”
Hearing his father's words, Goodern paused for a moment, his face a little helpless.
Isn't this gone?
Why are you still eavesdropping?
But for now, I can only nod slightly, indicating that I understand.
Seeing this, Olek looked away with satisfaction and stopped paying attention to Goodern.
The Holy Light Cathedral in the royal city is only more than 500 meters away from the imperial city, and it will arrive after leaving the imperial city for a while.
Goodern, the church of the other world, is also the first time to visit, and of course I have seen it many times from a distance.
When I first came to the royal capital, I looked down in the air except for the first glance, in addition to the more magnificent imperial city in the royal capital, the second landmark building is none other than the Holy Light Cathedral.
Although the height of the building is less than 100 meters, the special white stone makes the whole church look as smooth as if it was carved out of a single stone.
At the same time, the Holy Light Cathedral is not only a building, in addition to the open area, there is also an independent city manor behind the church, with a scale of 60,000 square meters or 70,000 square meters, which is very luxurious.
The three of them arrived at the manor mansion, tasting Gooden's new wine and discussing business.
They also learned this way of dealing with it from Goodern.
As for the handling of the orcs in the north, the two sides have basically talked about it.
Gooden said that he was here to discuss formally, but in fact he was just here to understand his mission and what he needed to work with.
It didn't take long for them to understand each other, and the three of them began to chatter and start talking.
"Speaking of which, isn't Heflos not going to be involved in this kind of war? Why did you suddenly send troops this time? ”
"It's different, although we sent troops to the north this time, we will not directly participate in the war between the two countries, we are preparing to prevent the possible resurgence of the undead in advance."
Anna shook her head slightly, then continued to explain.
"There have been countless casualties caused by wars over the ages, and these corpses are either burned and buried on the spot, or left on the battlefield, the former is also a more effective way to deal with it, but if the latter is not managed, it will not only cause a plague, but may even trigger a large-scale resurgence of the undead, so that the disaster can be expanded."
"And now the orcs here, there is enough evidence to prove that they are using undead power, if this matter is not deployed in advance, if the orcs really gather a million undead army, then the fourth demon invasion may have to start in advance."
Hearing this explanation, Gooden nodded slightly in understanding.
Of the three demonic invasions that occurred on the continent in the past dynasties, two of them were the first to break out the undead catastrophe and sweep across the continent, and then the demons came one after another, bringing tremendous pressure to all races on the continent.
And the Dawn Empire, which unified the continent, fought two such wars in the 1,500 years since the founding of the country, and after the end of the second one, it was also dissolved due to heavy losses and various circumstances, and all ethnic groups broke away from self-government.
In such an environment, there was also a lot of direct friction between the various races, and although they were able to survive more than 800 years in harmony, after the third demon invasion, this battle was fought for 169 years.
After two hundred years, the empires were established to fight against the three major human empires that have been retained to this day, as well as the kingdoms of three other races.
For this understanding, Gooden has been looking up since he and Olek learned about his background.
More than a thousand years have passed since the end of the third demonic invasion, and judging from the past situation, it is very likely that the fourth demonic invasion is already brewing and preparing.
This is also the reason why the transcendents of all races on the continent need to abide by the convention, in order to retain their strength to fight against the demons that may appear.
The three of them chatted with each other, and the time soon came to noon.
Looking at the time, Gooden also casually proposed.
"If it's okay in the afternoon, why don't you go to my palace bed, Erin is also here, you can cook a few dishes and talk while eating."
Hearing that Erin was also here, Anna's eyes lit up slightly, and she liked this little maid very much.
Not only is she talented in strength, but she is also proficient in taking care of housework, and more importantly, she is not even able to compare to her royal chef in Heflos.
"Well, since I ate Irene's food, I don't feel like anything else tastes good."
Anna said with a wistful look on her face, as she got up and prepared to go.
For Chinese cuisine, this thing can be said to have crushed most of the dishes in the other world.
As for the delicious food he said, it was just a rhetoric, and as the prince of a country, what Anna could touch was not something that Goode could think of.
Leaving the cathedral and looking at the Imperial City at hand, Goodern proposed.
"Why don't you go back, just blow the wind and disperse the smell of wine, and it will be digested."
Anna didn't care about the offer, but Morse shook her head.
"I'll forget it, I've attended too many events, and I can't leave if I'm recognized, and the king is forbidden to fly, so I'll go first."
"Huh? Then Anna, you're not afraid of being recognized? ”
Gooden was also a little curious about Morse's words.
"I have never participated in major events of the empire before I became an adult, and even if I am an adult, I only participate in some activities and sacrifices of the empire that are not open to the public, although I have a reputation, but few people have seen me, and there is no such trouble at present."
Anna said lightly, and at the same time took the lead in the direction of the Imperial City, and Goodern followed.
"Of course, this trouble will soon entangle me, such as your award this time, if I come out to congratulate me, I will definitely mention my identity, and I will naturally not be able to hide it at that time."
These words made Gooden a little strange.
"No, it's just a knighthood, isn't it just an internal form?"
"You don't know yet?" Anna was also a little surprised by Goodern's words, and then explained.
"Your award this time is a great achievement after defeating the orcs in wartime, it is definitely different from ordinary awards, the empire needs a new model hero, and now it is naturally you who must be pushed."
"Like in the last war, the empire launched the first female knight of the empire, Count Janessa, and Janessa's reputation is still circulating on the mainland."
Goodern really didn't know anything about Anna's explanation, and his father hadn't told him, let alone sent anyone to talk to him about it.
From the beginning to the end, Gooden thought that this was just a simple award, but he didn't expect that this was still a preparation to create a 'hero'.
Jeannessa's affair Goodenn also learned from Erin's mouth, Erin is her little fan sister, and she is moving forward with her as a goal, although she is now working hard to protect her.
But it's not hard to see how broad the impact of this hero-making move will be.
Walking on the road by the river, Goodern's face was a little depressed, this kind of thing must be a good thing for normal people, but for him, reputation will only bring him more trouble.
Especially after knowing his own background, he has to guard not only against the orcs, but also against the gods.
Seeing Goodern's expression, Anna asked with a chuckle.
"What's wrong? Don't you like this kind of thing? ”
Goodern nodded slightly, and was about to respond to something, when suddenly he noticed that something was not quite the same around him.
The bustling streets fell silent in an instant, as if the entire city had disappeared in an instant.
And the weather that was originally sunny at noon also began to become blurry and illusory at this moment, and at the same time, the endless white fog around it instantly turned the surrounding environment into a virtual shadow.
Gooden, who is well-informed, grabbed Anna's arm at the first opportunity.
In previous movies and TV series, once this situation occurred, it would basically be broken one by one.
The white mist swallowed the two of them in an instant, and Anna was not dissatisfied with Gooden's style, but approved of it.
At the moment when the white mist hit, even the two people who were close together could hardly see each other clearly, and once they distanced themselves, the two would inevitably separate.
At the same time, at the moment when the white mist hit, the two of them had already taken out their staff and weapons to deal with it.
Three dispel holy spells spread out of Anna's staff, and Goodern used the defensive and dispelling magic she had learned to try to drive them away and protect them.
But at this moment, Goodern suddenly sensed a strange wave of elemental energy coming from Anna's rear.
Although she is already an extraordinary Anna, the discovery of this energy is still a beat slower than Gooden's, and when she wants to cast a spell to resist it, this energy is already close at hand.
Unlike Anna's sluggish reactions, Goodern, who has the entry for the Lord of the Elements, has reached the peak of his perception of the elements.
By the time this blow appeared, he had already realized and sensed how terrifying the energy of such an attack was.
It seems to be an ordinary blow, but it contains the power of three people, and each of them is at least the peak of the master, and there may even be extraordinary power in it.
Under the attack of this blow, Anna's protection would never be able to dodge, and it would be difficult for him to dodge.
Although I don't know if Anna still has a backhand to protect her, at the moment, Goodern directly chooses to use her physical body to resist and help withstand this blow to reduce the damage caused.
Grabbing his arm and pulling Anna with a slight force, he protected her in his arms, and he carried the blow with his back to him.
But at the moment when the attack hit Goodern, the divine light holy order on his body burst out with dazzling light, and at the same time, a platinum light curtain protected the two from harm.
"Boom-"
The huge energy collision caused a shockwave that blew away some of the surrounding white fog.
At the same time, the ground within the radius of the center of the explosion has been shattered and collapsed, and a subsidence more than three meters deep has collapsed.
But under the protection of the Holy Light, the two were not harmed in the slightest.
At the same time, the aura of the Divine Light Divine Decree erupted and alarmed the entire city.
Morse, who had just arrived at Goodern's palace with his front foot, suddenly changed his face, and got up and flew directly to the place of the incident despite the Empire's no-fly order.
At the same time, Olek, who was handling political affairs in the palace, also disappeared in an instant and went to the place where the incident occurred.
In such a situation, as long as it is above the transcendence of the royal capital, everyone has made the same move.
Even in the Heflos Palace, thousands of miles away, Belya sensed this situation at the same time and immediately rushed to the imperial capital in person.
And Goodern and Anna, who were in the center of the fog, didn't know the situation in the outside world at the moment.
After the mysterious attack was flanked, Anna felt the explosion that had just occurred, with a hint of fear in her eyes, but more of a surprise and emotion at Goodern's actions.
This blow, without the protection of the Divine Light Holy Order, the two of them might have died here.
Even if she had reached the transcendent level, she didn't have the confidence to be able to resist the energy generated by the blow just now.
If it weren't for Gooden's sacrificial help, he would definitely be fine, and she wouldn't be able to say.
But within seconds of the aftermath of the explosion, the attacker didn't seem to intend to give up, and nine black-robed figures quickly attacked the two of them between the white mist.
But this time, Anna had plenty of time to react.
Several divine light magic instantly poured out from the staff, and the brilliant and dazzling light instantly dispelled the white mist dozens of meters around the two of them.
"Boom-boom-boom-"
The violent explosion caused the faces of the nine attackers to change.
"Damn, transcendent?! Isn't it a master? ”
"Whether it's transcendent or master, she must die ......"
The nine people who made the decision in an instant attacked Anna at the same time while dodging her attack.
And at the moment when the white mist dissipated, Gooden had already learned the information of the nine people in front of him.
Three assassins, three berserkers, and three elemental mages are all the pinnacle strength of masters!
The nine men who attacked at the same time instantly opened the attack formation, and the assassins disappeared in the blink of an eye, while the three berserkers had already taken out their bloody weapons and attacked.
Although Goodern is currently only a high-level mage, and it may be difficult to fight against the master's peak, he has his own reserve weapons and hole cards, and he has also countered when the nine attack.
A fully upgraded special magic rifle that has a 100% hit, and the rate of fire, bullet capacity, and propulsion acceleration are fully upgraded.
At the moment of pulling the trigger, hundreds of specially made manganese steel armor-piercing shells flew out of the muzzle.
Kill the milk first, and if there is no milk on the other side, then kill the mage!
Three unsuspecting elemental mages looked at each other, and two of them were torn to shreds in an instant.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other person disappeared directly into the white mist and attacked.
But Anna on the side directly relaxed it at the moment, and attacked with one enemy and three, holy magic, and physical arts, at this moment, Anna took her life's learning to the extreme, especially her physical skills.
Hundreds of kilograms of staff, coupled with her natural great strength, even a berserker at the peak of the master was a little unbearable, with deep doubt in his eyes.
This mother-in-law, is it a legal profession or a warrior profession?
Why is this power so terrifying?!
