After spending a few days sweeping away the remnants of the Marquis of Winton and pacifying the nearby lords, Curt and his party turned around and headed for Fort Green. It was the domain of Duke Henry, where his remains would be buried. After hearing the death of Duke Henry, King Gurrant had already arrived at the Green Castle first. Grief-stricken, he decided to personally send his lifelong friend on his last journey.

Nothing happened on the way, and Curt and Randall kept a delicate distance. Lan Kate regained the bearing of the faceless manager, always looking high and rejecting people from thousands of miles away. Curt shared a carriage with Baron William, but discussed a number of future plans. They are ready to make a move on Jeppen, the land of silver guns, and there is quite a lot of preparation to be done.

The assassination of Duke Henry has been reported through various channels. Rodney personally wrote the indictment against Jeppen, and he used sharp words and logical rigor to lay out irrefutable evidence. With the exception of Jeppen and Britannia, who angrily denounced it as an Otlan conspiracy, the rest of the Central 6 remained silent. They neither echoed nor refuted, as if they intended to sit back and watch the tiger fight.

In fact, to remain neutral in the assassination of a country's duke is tantamount to gloating. Needless to say, the current Aotran is basically the target of public criticism. King Gurant braved the world's disapproval, and in order to keep Princess Fran, he dared to join forces with Qianfa City. He simply cut himself off from the nations, and his sins were unforgivable.

If it weren't for Curt's help, Otlan easily defeated the combined forces of Jeppon and Britannica, and fought a battle that no one could understand, I'm afraid that Otlan would have been wiped out by now. Even the land has been divided. But in a world controlled by the warriors. Mages must not be allowed to interfere. So the seeds of the Great War have been planted. The question is whether Otlan and Qianfa City will strike first, or whether their enemies will assemble first and launch an offensive.

Three days later, Curt attended the solemn funeral of Duke Henry. At the behest of King Gulant, Duke Henry was buried in the family cemetery in the Castle of the Green. His title was inherited by his eldest son, Henry the Younger, and all affairs were temporarily represented by his widow and retainers. After that, the Otlan magnates with Gurant as the and the representatives of the Thousand Laws City with Lan Kate as the representatives closed the door. Negotiations began.

The content of the negotiations is quite simple, and it is clear how much strength Atlan has. The next question is how much help Thousand Law City can provide. In this matter, Lankate, as a confidant who has followed Eoham for many years, has more power than Curt. Faced with the hidden anger of the King of Glenth, who couldn't wait to destroy Jeppon and Britannia, Lankate's answer was very simple.

"These magic seeds are planted the same day and harvested the same day. Each seed produces enough fruit to feed a squad of soldiers, and this time I'll bring a hundred bags of seeds. There will be more in the future. ”

In full view, Rankate tossed a small bag onto the table. I calmly made an explanation. Then he pointed to the sacrificial sword standing behind Curt, and continued in a cold tone:

"Thousand Law City will send thirty of these warriors over, and another hundred as backups. For a number of reasons, Lord Eorham will assign ten faceless beings like me and thirty passable battle mages to join the fray. As long as Jeppen and Britannia can be defeated, the situation can be stabilized for a long time. ”

The reason for this is that Jeppen and Britannia each have a main road leading to the interior of the Big 6, which is their commercial bloodline. For this reason, Jeppon and Britannia have continuously strengthened the defense of the main roads throughout history, building checkpoints that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is the wariness that small countries must have against large countries, but it is a pity that Otland is not in their defense.

"When Lord Eorham fulfills his contract, we will go on the expedition. Aotran will organize a thousand warriors and two hundred knights. Gentlemen, I'm looking forward to turning Jeppen into history. ”

King Gurrant leaned back heavily in his chair and declared the meeting over. Although the number of personnel promised by the Thousand Laws City was not considerable, given the appearance of Curt and the mercenaries in battle, King Gulrant thought that things were still reliable. Lankate snapped her fingers and teleported out of the room. Curt also took the opportunity to take his leave, and after walking a few steps, he was overtaken by Baron William.

"Please be careful with your safety, Master Curt. As far as I know, you are already a wanted criminal of the Holy See. ”

Baron William spoke softly, winking at the same time. Curt nodded knowingly and followed the other party into the side room. Prince Wren quickly followed up and closed them with his hand. They each pulled up their chairs and sat down, and then Baron William said sternly:

"I don't know if you know that the Holy See is a lackey of the Pantheon, claiming to serve gods other than the Goddess of Magic. Their status is higher than that of ordinary royal families, and the core members are almost all high-ranking priests. Frankly speaking, among those you know, the high priest of our country, Miss Aiye, is also a member of the Holy See. After all, the statue of the goddess of the night is also displayed in the pantheon, and his servants naturally have to take on the corresponding obligations. ”

"Sounds interesting, what exactly does the Holy See do?"

In terms of politics, Curt has not done much research. He had limited knowledge of matters outside of the Thousand Laws City, and he never had time to make up for the lessons. Baron William looked a little surprised, but explained anyway.

Broadly speaking, the Holy See is a cross-border organization formed by the gathering of priests of various denominations. In the Battle of the Gods, priests who believed in different gods united to defeat the mages. After the war ended, they still held on to the power they had already wielded and passed it on from generation to generation, continuing to expand their influence.

For the magnates of the nations, the Holy See represented a unified theocracy. Members of the royal family of large countries had to undergo a period of penance before they could officially inherit the throne. In the Central University 6, the institutions of the Holy See enjoy favorable treatment. On the one hand, it is because the Holy See holds faith and divine grace, and on the other hand, because the Holy See is headquartered in the Storm Country, Senlan, and has a powerful Knights of the Iron Fist of God's Fury.

Therefore, although the Holy See has no formal territory, the orders issued can be unimpeded throughout the central part of the Great 6. Their leaders change every three years and are known as the Children of the Gods. In terms of actual power, the Son of All Gods can be described as the king of kings. Every time the Son of All Gods handed over his position, the top magnates of the Central 6 would come to congratulate him. If the Holy See refuses to allow the king of a country to go, then that country is in a very bad situation.

"What happens if you are wanted by the Holy See?"

Faced with the unexpected, Curt was interested. Baron William and Prince Wren glanced at each other, feeling that Curt had not yet understood the severity of the matter. So Baron William coughed dryly and said very solemnly:

"You'll be 6 inches bigger in the middle, and killer groups like Viper's Lair will be hired to assassinate you one after another. I greatly appreciate your abilities, but you'd better go back to Thousand Laws City to avoid the limelight. Belch...... This is my Jianyì, you might as well consider it. ”

"Let them come. ”

Curt spread his hands, looking very relaxed. He looked at Baron William, who was frowning, and said with a smile:

"It's the same for whoever comes, and the Holy See only needs to re-write the text. They are quite smart and know that the Thousand Laws City is the biggest threat. You want to kill us, right? What is the relationship between Majesty Gulant and the Holy See? He doesn't seem to get along well with Miss Aiye. ”

“...... For the sake of Princess Fran, His Majesty Gulrant was punished by the Holy See's rejection. ”

Baron William's heavy reply, the so-called renunciation, is equivalent to not recognizing the right of the King of Gurant to rule. It is precisely because of this that Jeppon and Britannia will organize a coalition army and start a war of aggression. Curt smiled, seemingly finding it a little funny. He shook hands with each other, leaned forward, stared at Baron William and said:

"Please don't tempt me again, Lord William. No matter what happens, I won't run away. Since they are hostile to the goddess of magic, they are enemies. As a soldier, how would you treat your enemies?"

Baron William nodded and stopped talking. He was indeed testing Curt's attitude to confirm how determined Thousand Laws City was to fight the war to the end. Later, Baron William got up to take his leave and went to report the results to the King of Gourant. Curt stared at Prince Wren, who had stayed, and asked meaningfully:

"What do you think, Wren the Swordbearer?"

"Me, do you mean the attitude of the Hidden Blade?"

Prince Wren grinned, baring his teeth neatly. He played with the hilt of his saber and said with a sneer:

"As the prince of Otland, I want Jeppon and Britannia to die quickly. If someone supports them, then they will be buried together. As for changing identities and being a member of Hidden Blade...... All I can say is that Hidden Blade has always had a bad opinion of the Holy See. You know, when a group of people gathers together, then the gentle and kind ones will lose their right to speak. The violent and greedy will act aggressively and dominate the actions of the whole team. Coupled with the drive of profit...... Hehe, you get the idea. ”

"Then I should have the support of the hidden blade. ”

Curt stood up hard, feeling a lot more relaxed. After all, the sword-wielding country of Aotran is a community of interests tied to the Thousand Law City, and it is impossible to retreat. Hidden Blades, on the other hand, are an organization that can't see the true face, and their members are capable but not clear about what they are acting for.

In his next work, Curt may need to rely on the power of the Hidden Blade. He didn't want things to go wrong when things came to an end. Of course, Curt would not be naïve enough to think that Hidden Blade could be so selfless as to ask for anything in return. He's even ready to be blackmailed in a pinch, as long as the Hidden Blade can help Ani return to the world. (To be continued......)
