Early the next morning, as soon as the trumpet sounded, Neo came to the big tent.

At this time, there were already people in the big tent, and some people were also rushing to the tent, and after only a short while, all the people in the big tent were all there.

Neo took a look, and everyone was not seated at random, but divided into two sides according to the north and south camps,

The Northland side is led by a middle-aged man dressed as Marquis Mario and another marquis, and there are several familiar faces in the crowd today, Marquis Mario's eldest son, Jacquel and Cliff Sanburn, are in the crowd in the Northland, and after seeing Neo, both of them stood up to greet Neo.

Marquis Mario was talking to the middle-aged man in a low voice, and when he saw Neo coming in, Marquis Mario hurriedly beckoned to Neo,

The man also looked at Neo, with a smile on his face, and Neo walked over,

Marquis Mario introduced: "Neo, this is the Marquis of O'Brien of the Jade Leaf Domain, and the other commander of our Northland Alliance this time, Marquis O'Brien is my good friend, and everyone will come and go often in the future." ”

The Marquis of O'Brien said, "Lord Neo has come out of nowhere and has added another hero to my Northland, and I will ask Lord Neo to take care of him in the future." ”

Neo hurriedly said: "Lord O'Brien has an overreputation, how can Neo talk about taking care of adults at a young age, Uncle Mario is my elder, a friend introduced by my uncle, how dare I be arrogant, if there is something in the future, please say it to Lord Marquis." ”

Marquis Mario laughed heartily, and Marquis O'Brien said: "Lord Neo is too modest, I have heard a lot about Lord Neo's deeds, and when I saw it today, I knew that there was no vanity under the fame, and I was looking forward to the adults shining in this battle, and I wish you a victory and a full harvest here." ”，

After a brief conversation, Neo returned to his seat.

Looking to the opposite side, there are also two marquis sitting in the first place, and it seems that they are the two commanders of the Southern Alliance.

With the sound of drums, the Duke of Chankadorig and the Prince of Rodland entered the tent, and everyone in the big tent stood up,

The Duke looked around for a moment and said, "Please be seated, gentlemen." ”

Everyone sat down one after another, and the Duke cleared his throat and said: "This time to fight against the Abyss Demon, according to the previous rules, the Southern Alliance is responsible for holding the southern section of the fortress, and the Northern Alliance is responsible for guarding the northern section of the fortress. Originally, the small battle once every five years was held by the four marquis lords in command of their own troops to defend the fortress, but this time the situation was different from the past. As we all know, thanks to the grace of the goddess of ice and snow, a goddess has been sent down to the Frost Moon Territory in the north of our country, so on the recommendation of Archbishop Higgins, His Majesty Ferdilando sent himself to be the commander of this battle. ”

The Duke paused, beckoned to Neo, and said, "Let me introduce you to the patron of the Ice Goddess, Lord Neo-Anderson of the Frost Moon of the Northlands. ”

Neo stood up and bowed to everyone.

The Duke nodded and continued: "Next, I will assign the tasks of all parties, and if you have any good suggestions, you can put them forward now." ”

At this moment, one of the people in the south stood up and said, "Lord Duke Cadadolig, my subordinates have a question for your lordship. ”

"Count Shiram, please."

"My subordinates have heard a rumor that Lord Neo will be the first match of this battle, is this true?"

The Duke said, "Indeed, I would have announced it to you later." ”

The Earl of Hiram said: "There is a question here, in the last war, the spearhead of the first battle of my Storm Empire was Lord Baron Kihdug of the Northland, and everyone knows that the record of that time was not ideal,"

Hearing this, among the people on this side of the Northland, a man stood up angrily, and just as he wanted to say something, he was stopped by the person next to him,

Shiram ignored it, but continued: "According to the rules, this time it should be my turn to fight in the south. The importance of the first battle is not trivial, I heard that Lord Neo is only a mid-level transcendent realm warrior, this kind of cultivation makes people have to worry, if it is not good to go out like last time, not only will the morale of my side be greatly affected, but people from other countries will also laugh at our Storm Empire. ”

When the man said this, he turned to look at Neo and said, "Lord Neo, you are the patron of the goddess of ice and snow, if something goes wrong, Her Highness the goddess will blame you, and we can't afford it." ”，

Neo also stood up and said, "Lord Shiram, my Dongsheng Continent is plagued by demons, and my country is no exception,"

"My Lord God of Light leads the gods to fight against the darkness as well, both the gods and the world are the first to fight against demons, and Her Highness the Goddess has cleared countless demons, as the patron of Her Highness the Goddess, how can I not take the lead and kill the demons?"

"Her Highness the Goddess has decreed that in the name of Her Highness the Goddess, I will be cleansed of the darkness and evil of the world. That's what I'm going to do. ”

"Therefore, before this battle, when His Royal Highness Prince Rodland came to the Frost Moon Territory, I asked His Royal Highness the Prince for his life to fight for my Wind Empire and the Bright Camp, so as to raise the prestige of my Wind Empire and strengthen my reputation of Light."

"As for the concerns of adults, I believe that the goddess is above and will bless our country, so let the goddess witness everything."

Neo moved out of righteousness, and brought out the goddess of ice and snow, and blocked Shiram's words at once,

At this moment, one of the leading marquis from the south stood up and said, "I deeply admire the courage of Lord Neo. Originally, it was not in line with the rules to let the heroes of the Northland fight this time, but just now, Lord Neo put righteousness first, and there is the will of Her Highness the Goddess, since Lord Neo is full of confidence, if we come to fight for the first battle this time, it seems that we don't know the general situation. Ladies and gentlemen, the Southern Alliance is not a stingy person, and we are willing to give this opportunity to Lord Neo for the first battle, and we are willing to fulfill the good name of Lord Neo. ”

When the marquis said this, he looked around the crowd and said, "I propose, so that we all wish Lord Neo not to fall into the prestige of Her Highness the goddess and the expectations of Her Majesty, and to start victorious."

After speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and everyone in the big tent applauded.

These few words seem to be generous, but in fact, they have forced Neo to have no way out.

If Neo doesn't win this battle, or even if he doesn't win beautifully, it will be difficult to maintain Neo's identity as the patron of the goddess, and he will not be able to explain to His Majesty Ferdirando.

Prince Rhoderan will also become the laughing stock of the world with him, and Neo will never mention that he is the patron of the goddess of ice and snow in the future, and his authority will be greatly reduced.

Everyone in the big tent applauded had their own thoughts, but Neo himself had the bottom of his heart and was not afraid at all.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the discord between the north and the south of the Rinfeng Empire had reached such a point, whether he wanted it or not, his label as the Northland camp had been firmly nailed.

The reason why Neo asked Rodland for the first battle was entirely for the development of Maple Grove Town, mainly because the achievements of the first battle were extraordinary, and he just took the opportunity to start the reputation of Frost Moon Leader Maple Grove Town.

Neo himself doesn't mean to take sides, but such a move has obviously been regarded as an opponent by the southerners.

Neo sighed slightly in his heart, once he came, he was safe, no matter what he was on, he just had to move forward according to his set goals.
