The country of Roland has been in the country for nearly a thousand years, but now it is like a giant beast in the twilight that has been cut off by the hunter of the Ingier Empire across the sea, poked his eyes blind, and died quietly bleeding, and the last remaining strength may only let out a loud roar and blindly bite forward, but whether it can hit the enemy is unknown.

And the one who was fortunate enough to be in control of the Beast's Tooth at this time was the last legitimate heir, Crown Prince Charles, who hid behind the majestic fortress in front of him, and wanted to direct the battle without seeing the shadow of the enemy, no wonder the lords and knights across the country were not optimistic about him.

Ed heard Andre say that once the rebellion called by Prince Charles himself fails, the Roland Kingdom will automatically be annexed by Ingier de jure and all the knight lords will not stand up against it, because the current Emperor Ingier has the blood of the royal family of the Roland Kingdom, and a royal marriage a hundred years ago makes it so that now once the crown prince dies, the person in charge of the country that launched the invasion will become the rightful first heir to the throne.

Now that Delia has brought Ed and Andre to the crown prince's city in order to prevent this from happening, the first problem they face is how to meet Charles himself.

Fortunately, the little Elinor who was rescued before helped them a lot, and as the heir of the Grand Duke, he obtained the right to bring his own soldiers into the city with just one notification, and after Ed's inquiry, the other party happily agreed to take the three of them into the city together, Delia gathered his own personal soldiers, and Andre assigned them the task of supervising the team to camp near the castle, and it was arranged in an orderly manner.

At noon, little Eleanor came and invited them into Hill Castle together.

Ed rode his horse and followed the little fat man, surveying the city and coping with the other party's chat.

The castle is said to have been built stronger than the capital, it does not rely on the steepness of the terrain, but each generation of kings has put the task of repairing the city defense in the first place, and Roland has been shaken several times in the history of the country, when foreign enemies and rebellions are everywhere, there are always brave men to assist the king from this place to send troops to sweep away the enemy, and regain the majesty.

This time was no exception, the crown prince may have really believed that there would be a loyal general who could help him settle the enemy, and as soon as the Inghirs came, they left the prosperous capital early and ran here to hold on, calling for reinforcements while waiting, but by this time the country had lost most of it, and the hero he expected had not yet appeared.

The defensive structure of Hill Castle left a deep impression on Ed, there were more than a dozen deadly traps near the city gate alone, allowing the defenders to stop the enemy's attack with the least amount of manpower, and there were more fortifications behind the high walls, the boy could imagine that if someone really wanted to take this fortress, they would have to pay dozens of times the price of the defenders.

"Do you see that short building, don't look at it inconspicuous, there is the most powerful psionic guardian array in my country, and the increase ratio is close to breaking 100, that is to say, as long as there is a psionic person instilled with psionic energy to defend the city wall, even if a hundred equivalent enemies come in, they can't break it directly with violence, it's amazing!"

Little Elinor introduced it playfully, and quietly approached Ed and whispered to him: "Do you know why, ha, I tell you, it is said that there is a legendary gem as a hub, and there are countless other treasures made of runes to play an auxiliary role, and half of the wealth of the royal family is here!"

After squeezing his eyes, it seemed to make him keep it secret, and he loudly introduced other famous buildings.

Ed's understanding of the psionic array is only limited to its role as a defensive wall, otherwise no matter how high the ordinary fortress is, it will not be able to defend against psionics with supernatural powers.

However, even the best city defense must be garrisoned, and as Ed has seen along the way, the discipline of the soldiers here is loose, and the depressed attitude of the knights is as surprising as the strong defensive ability of the castle.

Some young people dressed as psionic knights mostly gathered around the tavern and drank bitterly, and many people would say hello when they saw little Eleanor and his party, but more often than not, they were drunk during the day.

Ed had never seen so many psionics gathered together, but looking at their state, it would be no problem for him to beat ten of them one by one.

Looking at the ordinary soldiers again, they avoided the places where the knights drank in groups, and they were also drinking and bragging in places such as hiding soldiers against the wall, and even the sound of women's ** came from many dark places, which made Di Liya blush.

"Doesn't His Excellency the Crown Prince prohibit alcohol in the army?

André asked with a little anger, this place is very different from what he thought, even the Ovaret in his memory is not compared, there are no good soldiers and strong generals and no enlightened monarchs, are these people who rushed here with a lot of blood and are ready to resist the invaders are not stupid.

Little Eleanor obviously didn't come for the first time, and he shook his head when he saw Andre's angry look, although he knew that the other party was not questioning him, the little fat man still looked at Ed's face and kindly explained:

"The crown prince has never planned to start a full-scale war, and the troops gathered here for a long time would have turned the world upside down if they forbade alcohol, but don't look at the knights drinking, this little wine will wake up with spiritual energy when they go to the battlefield, and it won't affect it. ”

Ed felt that these so-called armies, even if they were sober, it was difficult to say how much combat effectiveness they had, and most of his country was invaded, and the crown prince who could still cower here and indulge his subordinates to drink and have fun was not much stronger, and he cast a shadow on the prospect of Delia's trip.

The group stayed near the main fort, and the crown prince was scheduled to meet with little Eleanor tomorrow, when he promised to introduce Ed and the others, presumably at this time the crown prince was also very happy to see another psionic knight under his command.

At night, lying alone on the soft bed, it was extra comfortable, and after camping for many days at night, Ed had not had a good rest for a long time, and the last time he slept with Charlotte was on the big bed in Fort Amera.

Thinking of the unheard female knight, Ed decided to take the opportunity to ask Andre and Little Elianor tomorrow to inquire about the news of Amera's Castle.

Roland, who is under the management of the incompetent crown prince, may not be very good, and Ed strongly suspects that the reason for the fall of Ameraburg lies in the interior.

Perhaps it would be a good thing for Delia to hit a wall on this trip, he felt that even if he succeeded in gaining the trust of the crown prince, it would be difficult to get a good end to fighting under him.

After cultivating psionic energy, Ed's sleep time was greatly reduced, and he got up early to exercise his fists and kicks.

Little Eleanor also quickly got up early to prepare to meet the crown prince.

After he was summoned for an interview, the three of Ed waited all morning, and finally came the news that Prince Charles would meet with Knight Ed and his entourage after lunch with the Grand Duke's heir.

It seems that the little fat man fulfilled his promise to Ed, and Ed used to tell him the good news to his companions.

Delia had rehearsed this moment countless times in her mind, and although what she saw in Hill Castle made her worry about the future, on the other hand, it strengthened her strong will to stand up and save the country.

The squire who led the way led them to a large hall, and while they waited, Ed looked at the guards on the left and right and quickly dismissed, the royal guards on both sides were gorgeously dressed, and their expressions were stern and serious, but they could not hide the fact that they were as fragile as vases.

When he entered the hall, he saw the attendants, ministers, and knights arranged around the throne in a starry manner, and little Eleanor sat first on the left, and when he saw them enter, he stopped talking to the people around him, and smiled strangely at them.

Looking at a pale young man sitting on the throne, he slowly said to himself and the others: "I heard that little Eleanor said that he was saved by a young knight halfway, who is so brave, please come to me to see your king!"

Ed was about to step forward, but Delia grabbed the corner of his clothes from behind, and Ed looked back at her in confusion.

Delia stopped Eddard's actions, and in the face of her companion's inquiring eyes, she shook her head, and without explanation, she jumped out of front of Ed, looked at the person on the throne with burning eyes, and said:

"My name is Deria, and Knight Ed is my important companion, and we travel together and fight together, both to guard the land of Roland and to protect the people who work on it. ”

"You are the magician, I can't imagine that you are so young, why I have not heard of your name in the church? The man on the throne continued.

"We have come here after many hardships, of course, to meet His Excellency Crown Prince Charles, the future King of Roland, but unfortunately, you are not him!" said Delia in a categorical manner.

Andre was startled and looked at the guards around him, but Ed inexplicably trusted his partner, and when he heard this, he looked at the alleged impostor, trying to discern what caused Deria's suspicions.

"Bold, you dare to slander me, is there anyone in this house who is more like the crown prince than me, according to what you see?"

At this time, the other party still argued strongly, but Ed had already noticed that his words revealed the weak nature of his heart.

Di Lia followed the other party's meaning, looked around, her big shining eyes swept over the faces of everyone around, the ministers dodged her gaze in fear, for fear of getting into trouble, the lord knights puffed up their chests proudly, as if they were competing for some glory, and the timid squire lowered his head in fear, feeling that Di Liya's gaze swept and couldn't help but tremble.

Only a handful of people are looking at this unexpected girl with interesting eyes, waiting for her answer.

Ed didn't know if Delia had received guidance from her god again, and he was also observing everyone's expressions, analyzing with the help of the power of the mark, and he could roughly narrow down the object of speculation to a few people, but further it was difficult to continue with a lack of information.

Without the help of the engraving, Di Liya calmly took a step and walked straight to the corner, her eyes full of brilliance, and her expression was solemn and joyful.

She approached a young man with a hood, slowly leaned down and saluted, telling everyone that she had made a choice.

Seeing that his hiding was discovered, he removed the disguise and revealed his true identity.

It was a young man with the same pale face as the impostor on the throne, slightly shorter in height, with dazzling blonde hair under the hood, neatly groomed, and a simple crown under the cover of his hair.

"Haha, I wanted to play a little joke with Ed Knight, who knew that this magical young lady would bring us an even bigger surprise. ”

As he spoke, the young man walked towards the throne, and everyone around him bowed respectfully, and the impostor bounced his ass from his seat for the first time, and fell to his knees trembling.

Prince Charles walked past him and kicked his henchman lightly, annoyed that he didn't look like he was pretending to be like a horse's foot. When he sat on the throne and suddenly felt impossible, even if the other party saw through the disguise, how could he correctly distinguish it without seeing himself?

I'm afraid no one knows this problem except for Delia herself, little Eleanor saw that the crown prince's whimsical prank was not successful, and he was greatly relieved for Ed, if he really took that fake as the crown prince, it would inevitably cause great displeasure to the master, but the magician next to Ed was able to see through this trick at once, and correctly found the crown prince himself who concealed his identity, which made him even more surprised, while annoying that he had looked away, he threw an inquiring look at Ed.

But Ed, like Andre, can't find a reason for the wonderful performance of his companions, and can only attribute it to the god she believes in.

"Your Excellency the Crown Prince, this companion of mine has been blessed with divine powers beyond the level of a bishop, and has often blessed her in the dark, and we have come all the way down from the clutches of the Ingirs, and have struck the enemy several times, and it is thanks to my companion Delia that the gods have given us constant guidance!"

Although Andre didn't know the reason for the incident, he knew that the opportunity was very rare, and reminded him behind Ed, so the clever Ed spared no effort to introduce his companions to the crown prince, but did not say a word about his bravery.

"With the power of the gods against the Ingills?may be what we lack now, but the people of the church have always stood in a neutral position, refusing to give us more help than Ingier, and increasing the land war tax every year, I wonder how this Miss Delia can help us?" Crown Prince Charles looked moved, but the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and finally asked the girl with some ill intentions.

After the era of the War of the Gods, the Church has become a huge organization that transcends the state and never favors any one country's war practices.

In recent years, due to the intensification of the interracial war in the north, the church has united the knights of various countries to form a pan-continental war coordination committee, which is actually to collect money and war materials from various countries to supply the front-line coalition forces against the alien invasion.

The gods that Delia believes in have nothing to do with the church at all, and she calmly responded to the crown prince's questioning: "The church has the consideration of the church, and I can only convey the will of God to you on behalf of individuals!"

"Oh, what is the will of God, to sit back and watch an evil nation swallow us?" said the Crown Prince, still aggressively.

Delia suddenly raised her voice, waving her shepherd's staff, and divine light poured through the thick ceiling of the hall.

"The god will convey his will through my mouth, the kingdom of Roland will not be annexed, you, Prince Charles, will hold a ceremony in the coronation holy place, officially become King of Roland, and I am the one you are looking forward to, to help you command your thousands of troops to drive the Ingers to their own land on the other side of the sea, and bring peace and hope back to this land!"

The sudden miracle shocked the hearts of everyone present, but many knights with advanced psychic abilities quickly escaped the influence of the Holy Light, and they mobilized their psionic energy to take down Delia if she made any moves.

Prince Charles himself also has psychic powers, but it is not deep, and the influence is deeper, and Delia's words have greatly impacted his heart, and every sentence speaks to the depths of his heart.

Like his ancestors, it has been his long-cherished wish to be crowned a true king in the Holy Land for many years, and he thinks that he will justifiably call on more of his disobedient knights to join him, but the reality is always so cruel, only in his dreams he can often see the back of the legendary hero who helped him sweep away the enemy, is it the unexpected girl in front of him?
