143 Behind the scenes
"Now it has been confirmed, the Tower of Truth and the Church have decided not to participate in this war!"
"What? What did the orc offer them to make such a big concession. ”
As yesterday, in the majestic castle hall, all the important positions of the kingdom were gathered here, and this time they discussed the issue of the previous declaration of war of the Scarlet Empire.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is very obvious, the Scarlet Empire established by the orc Christos has completely occupied the address of the original Rock City, and the capital of the Scarlet Empire has been established on top of it!"
As soon as this remark came out, it caused a discussion among most people, in their eyes, the orcs of the orc tribe are a group of uneducated, impolite barbarians, if not similar to people, they are almost a group of monsters.
"What can we do now, the most powerful force, the magicians on the Tower of Truth have announced that they will not intervene, this time the war between us and the Scarlet Empire!"
"How so, is there a mistake in the message?"
"That's right, the light of reason was already emitted from the Tower of Truth yesterday!"
"The light of reason?"
"Is that the blue pillar of light? what does that mean?"
..........................................

......
The king of the Holy Kingdom, who was sitting on the top of the main hall, heard the discussion below, and his heart felt infinite contempt, in fact, it was not his intention to cause this battle at all;
Or he knew everything about the Scarlet Trial Tower, because he was Carl III Houston, and he was the only descendant of the Houston family.
And Houston was the first king who founded the Holy Federation, and under his rule, the people in the Federation were developed, of course, the Houston ancestor didn't want to be so weak, he was the first sword master in the history of the human race, and the youngest sword master.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
A few coughs came from the right side of the throne, interrupting Houston's memories, and the person who coughed, Houston naturally knew who he was and the meaning of this cough;
"Don't panic, don't worry, you don't need to worry about facing such a chaotic enemy as the Scarlet Empire, the warriors of the kingdom will be led by General Aguta Sith to achieve victory for us. ”
"Your Majesty, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations and set out to conquer the Scarlet Empire and bring back the head of Christos Arthur for you and for the kingdom!"
"Thank you, General Aguta, I am waiting for the good news of your triumph in the kingdom!"
Looking at the man in front of him in a gorgeous armor, Houston couldn't help but laugh in his heart, the long years of captivity had taught Houston a lot about the history of the Union;
For example, when a soldier is engaged in battle, armor is their most important protection and the most important camouflage, so in general, armor is very bulky and heavy;
And now the general Aguta, whom he has just appointed, has armor made of gorgeous metal, without any protective power;
"In the face of real war, the armor on your body may not be able to withstand even a blow from the enemy!" Houston thought slowly.
The meeting was soon over, and for others, the sooner the battle began, the more they had to gain from it.
................................................................................................
For the people in the Federation, a battle launched by the Scarlet Empire, they didn't take it seriously at all, behind all this, what they really cared about was the Scarlet Crystal.
The secret clubhouse of the castle, where Houston came at this time in civilian clothes, opened the door, and Houston walked in, and there were already four people waiting inside;
"Houston, you did a good job today, starting tomorrow, you are still the same as before, continue to say to the outside world, you are physically and mentally exhausted, and you can't preside over the affairs of the country, leave the rest to us!"
The first person to speak was the man who coughed above the main hall today, and he was also the Duke of the Kingdom, Cork Blank.
He is also the current head of the Blank family.
And the others, Houston also knows, they are all in control of the most important things in the kingdom, and their identities are also very noble, but Houston did not stay for long, because he is not qualified to listen to the next thing.
That's right, the supreme ruler of a kingdom is not in control of his own destiny, or even able to make decisions, everything is arranged by these dukes;
This was a fate that Houston had been doomed when he was very young, and it has continued to this day, and he also wanted to resist, but he failed, and since then, Houston has been completely reduced to a puppet;
Houston, who went back to his room, had always had a secret in his heart, that is, his children, his best children, the next successors to the kingdom.
"At the very least, he's in a much better position now than I was back then, and I hope he can become a different Houston!"
In the room, seeing the back of Houston leaving, a shocking sentence suddenly came out among the remaining people;
"How long will Houston live?" Hearing the question of the figure behind him, Cork slowly closed the door, and the dim candlelight of the dark lost space shone on their cloaks.
"You still can't believe the effect of the flower on the other side, but now, the kingdom has suffered such a big thing, if Houston dies suddenly, no matter which one takes over, we will have to spend a lot of time to create a puppet again!"
"That's true, but the toxin of the flower on the other side was planted in Houston very early, according to past experience, the effect of this medicine is almost in the past few days!"
"That's right, so I sent my son out, let him lead the knights in the kingdom, after taking the Scarlet Empire, most of the power is firmly in our hands, in that way, isn't the Scarlet Crystal our own!"
It was Agutta Sith's father, Randeep Sith, who was in charge of the kingdom's highest armed legion.
"Sith, I said that you sent your youngest son over, probably because you wanted to collect those blood-colored crystals more, don't think I don't know, in the past few years, you have been sending the dead to the Misty Forest to help you steal the crystals. ”
"Hehe, Worward, you have the largest merchant group in the kingdom, and you have dealings with those magicians in the Tower of Truth, so naturally you look down on these hedrons, but our Sith family still depends on these. ”
The man Randeep called Warward was none other than Hogg's family, the largest family of magic scroll makers on the continent.
Hearing the quarrel between the two, Nice Ollie in the corner stopped it;
"Okay, stop arguing, now the most important thing is that this time we are facing the power of a nascent empire, if it fails, what should we do?"
"Failure?Ness, what do you mean by that?"
Nice Ollie's words caught the attention of several others, including Cork Blank, who seemed to be waiting for Nice's next words;
"Don't you care at all, you must know that the Church and the Tower of Truth have said that they will not participate in this war, and now the Mercenary Guild has been wavering;
If Aguta fails, then we will face the dilemma of having no one to support, don't let me remind you that the current Holy Kingdom is no longer the most powerful kingdom in the original Federation, there are many kingdoms besides us!"
This evaluation is objective and very correct, in fact, the Holy Federation is no longer the original Federation, and the current Federation is almost only the Holy Kingdom.
The other kingdoms that joined the Federation at the beginning have long since lost close ties with the Federation, and even the merchants and mercenaries who travel everywhere know more information than anyone else in Zaicheng.
"Aguta shouldn't fail, he's already a seven-star sword king, plus there is a powerful knight order, those orcs who can only go on a rampage won't win!"
"Don't worry, Landeep, the knights of the kingdom rarely fail, with them we will definitely win, as for Nice, don't worry too much, about the Scarlet Trial Tower, it will definitely belong to us in the end!"
"I hope so!"
As he answered, Cork clapped his hands, and out of the darkness came some maids, holding blood-red hedrons, blood essences.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a treasure, after we get the Scarlet Trial Tower, take all the spars in it and use them to train our army, maybe we can really rule the Apocalypse Continent!"
"Yes, yes!"
During the conversation, the four of them swallowed all these hedrons, and the long-lost power surged through them, bringing them the breath of life, and Ness also put his worries behind him.
