Wars, many times, are not so easy to start, just like Brenos was surrounded by an army of monsters for three years, and in the end there was no earth-shattering battle.

At this moment, the monster army has retreated, and Merlin hopes to provoke a war and reverse their passive situation in Bronos, but Du Liniang and the others have always been reluctant to accept the recruitment, and even Merlin has been waiting alone in the temple of Constantine for a long time, and Du Liniang has not come to see him.

Standing in front of the temple's former throne of Constantine, Merlin suddenly felt like a lonely clown.

In the face of Brenos City, which was about to be seized by others, he didn't even have a way to complete Constantine's entrustment.

As Merlin stood in the temple chamber, his eyes showing bitterness and confusion, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Merlin immediately cheered up and turned his head to look, but it was not Du Liniang, who he had been waiting for for a long time, but Lake and a group of arrogant and rude guys who had followed Constantine in the past and obtained the status of a Brenos nobleman.

Frowning slightly, Merlin wanted to just let Lake take these people away.

But before Merlin could speak, a man with a proud face came out of the crowd who came with Lake and said, "Lord Merlin, those humble poor people were able to get food first, which is simply contempt for us who follow the heroes of the God King, and please Lord Merlin come forward to uphold justice." ”

"Yes, my lord, those lowly poor people, if they hadn't been taken in by the God King, how could they have lived in such a peaceful way? ”

"This is simply contempt for the God King, a betrayal of the God King, and they must pay the price for daring to betray the faith of the God King. ”

Hearing the righteous indignation of the group of heroes in front of him, a trace of disdain flashed in Merlin's eyes.

After that, he did not hide the anger in his eyes, and scolded the arrogant man who took the lead and said: "Leon, have you forgotten the rules set by the God King? Do you think that if you are a nobleman, you will be able to do power in Bronos? What have you done behind your backs over the years, do you really think that the God King and I don't know?"

Hearing Merlin's scolding, everyone present suddenly became dumbfounded, and lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to say anything.

These people gathered in the Temple of Constantine may dare to be powerful in Brenos, but they don't even dare to come out in the face of Merlin's scolding.

After being silent for a long time, Lake, who had been silent, broke his silence: "Merlin, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, we must hurry up and find a way, otherwise Du Liniang and they will win the hearts of the people, and the situation will be difficult to control at that time." ”

Lake's words emboldened everyone, and they suddenly couldn't help but shout one after another.

"Yes, Lord Merlin, you can't let those poor people go on like this. ”

"The lowly paupers, now all think they are the masters of Bleonos, and we cannot sit idly by. ”

"Than we need to sell, teach the lowly desperate some lessons, so that they understand who the master of the city really is, and that the grain should be taken away and distributed by us, and that the lowly and poor people should not be allowed to monopolize the best food, but let our soldiers go hungry. ”

Hearing everyone's "meanness", Merlin's face became more and more ugly.

When the people were over, they said in a cold voice: "Are you nobler than them?" Hmph, don't forget, your identity and duty, if there were no people who you say are lowly, can you stand here and quarrel?"

After that, without waiting for the old and young to speak again, Merlin ordered directly: "Okay, you all go out, let me think about what to do, just stay with Lake." ”

Hearing this, although the old and young were a little dissatisfied, when they saw Merlin's fierce gaze, they swallowed back their words one by one, and could only turn around and leave the temple in a daze.

After a while, only Merlin and Lake were left in the entire temple chamber.

Merlin stared at Lake and said, "Lake Ke, you secretly sent someone to monitor the Longquan Restaurant, and you must pay close attention to Du Liniang's every move." ”

Lake frowned slightly, and asked with some puzzlement: "Just monitor Du Liniang and them, what about the people in the city?"

"Can't move ......"

Seeing the puzzled look on Lake's face, Merlin lowered his voice and said: "The current situation has not yet reached that point, if we interfere with the people first, it will speed up the people's hearts to fall to Du Liniang and them, so we must be very careful now, in addition, you send people to keep an eye on those guys outside, don't let them stir up trouble." ”

"This is difficult? Now that the food is in the hands of Du Liniang and them, if those guys outside can't get rich food, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to suppress their feelings. ”

Merlin frowned, lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "That's it, about food, I will go to see Du Liniang." ”

Seeing the determined look on Merlin's face, Lake didn't say anything more, but turned around and walked out of the council chamber.

As Lake was about to step out of the council chamber, Merlin suddenly said, "Lake, what's your idea?"

"Me?" Lake paused when he stood in front of the door of the council chamber, then smiled and said, "What can I think? I just want to keep my estates, I don't want Brenos to change hands at this time, I still need Brenos' food supply." ”

Listening to Lake's words, Merlin immediately asked, "Don't you want to sue Brenos?"

This time, Lake's steps stopped, and he turned to stare at Merlin standing in front of the throne.

The two people who looked at each other across the long table had strange sparks in their eyes, and they seemed to be able to clearly see each other's inner thoughts.

After a long time, Lake grinned and said, "Hehe, what?

Merlin didn't answer Lake, but continued to stare at the other party.

Seeing that Merlin didn't mean to speak, Lake could only shrug his shoulders and continued: "You're right, I also want to get Brenos, this property is coveted by anyone, but in the current situation, I, Lake, don't think I have that much appetite, so I eat Brenos." ”

At this point, Rick paused and continued, "But, Merlin, be careful, I won't let go of the plot to capture Brenos if I have the chance." ”

With that, before Merlin could speak again, Lake turned and walked straight out of the council chamber.

Looking at the back of Lake's departure, Merlin had a sad look on his face again, turned his head to look at the empty throne, and knelt reverently on the steps in front of the throne.

It was as if a praying person whispered to the throne: "Where are you, king, and if you can sense the danger of Brenos, please descend and expel those who covet Brenos." ”

He knelt in front of the stairs and waited quietly for a long time, but there was no response from the cold throne.

It was not until this moment that Merlin finally understood that Konstantin was afraid that he really could not come again.

As one of the first confidants to follow Konstantin, Merlin witnessed Konstantin's rise and was well aware of Konstantin's strength.

As a god, Konstantin possessed the power of the gods, which was enough to make the earth tremble, and it was the power of the gods that made Merlin faithfully follow Konstantin, and in Merlin's mind, he almost never had any dissent.

But now, seeing Konstantin sealed into purgatory by his father, even the incarnation of the divine power that Konstantin has always left in the temple has disappeared, and Merlin has to have a change in his heart.

He knelt in front of the throne and called out to Constantine reverently, wanting to make a final attempt.

I want to call out the incarnation of Konstantin's divine power with the power of faith, and I hope to get Konstantin's revelation.

However, Merlin lost his last hope, and his pious call failed to bring back Constantine, not even a hint of divine incarnation.

Standing up slowly, staring at the throne, Merlin felt desperate for Konstantin for the first time, he didn't know what happened to Konstantin, but he already clearly felt that at this moment, Konstantin was afraid that he was in a desperate situation, and maybe there was a real possibility of falling into purgatory.

"If Konstantin falls, what will he do?"

Merlin asked himself, but could not give his own answer, although Merlin was not a baptized knight, he was also an honest and loyal man, and this integrity and loyalty in his bones made him feel confused.

At the same time, in the cleaned Longquan Restaurant, Du Liniang and the others all looked at Lu Xiusius.

There was a deep doubt in everyone's eyes, as if they were waiting for Lucius to solve their doubts.

Seeing that Lucius didn't speak for a long time, the straightforward Du Liniang finally couldn't help but ask: "Lucius, do you really think that we can occupy Brenos?"

"Right now, on the surface, we have the support of the people and have the advantage, but this is Brainos, a city that once had its own gods, and no one knows what kind of strength Constantine has for the gods who once sat on the throne, and it is not clear if he has any special arrangements for Bronos?"

Knowing that Lucius and Du Liniang had returned together, the old night elf patriarch took Modès to Longquan Restaurant.

After listening to Du Liniang's worries, the old night elf patriarch also spoke: "There are too many mysteries in this city, even if you break the faith of the people, you still don't know how much power is hidden in the city. ”

Quietly listening to the words of Du Liniang and the old night elf patriarch, Lucius grinned and glanced at everyone and said, "It seems that you are not optimistic about my decision to seize Brenos, but have you ever thought about how we will face the upcoming war if we don't take Brenos?"

"Konstantin is a man worthy of respect, but the biggest mistake he made was that he shouldn't be in favor of Blaonos, even if he is promoted to the god rank, he is as powerful as a god, even if he is already a god, he will eventually decline and decay if he loses his fighting spirit. ”

"Everyone has seen the decay of magical civilization, but in fact, what you have seen is only the beginning of decay, and the real decay has just begun, and the wars have not yet begun. ”

Glancing at the crowd again, Lucius said with a stern expression: "What do you think I am trying to take Brenos for? I don't want to take Brenos for myself, I just want to save the city from the decaying magical civilization and find a way to fight against it." ”

After listening to Lucius's account, everyone present was shocked and stunned for a long time.

It was still Du Liniang who broke the calm first: "Okay, I have to admit that your kid's eloquence is great, I was persuaded by you, and I am willing to help you unconditionally." ”

With Du Liniang taking the lead, naturally the others present no longer objected, and everyone began to discuss how to deal with the diehards led by Merlin in the city and really get the actual control of Brenos.
