Chapter 71: Fear

A large number of soldiers began to line up to board the ships, advancing along different routes from various ports.

The land infantry, the land cavalry, and the sea units each have their own leaders, but they all do the same thing.

The movement of tens of thousands of troops naturally could not be concealed from the merchants and adventurers of Flying Fish Harbor.

The news was quickly transmitted back to the countries.

The nobles of the kingdom of Io also knew that their opponents were angry.

In Port Tolomy, Count Punk, the leader of the fish nobles, is holding a meeting.

The Count of Punk looked at a young lady who looked quiet.

"Darien, tell us what you think of the prophet."

Dalian nodded, got up from her seat and looked at the old men and women around her, as well as the gray-and-white-haired middle-aged people.

Just like in the rest of the country, with the exception of a few high-ranking bloodline people, most of the people in power are old, calm and experienced old men.

"I've been to Oak City in the Frozen Lands with Audrey and the Prince of the Serpents, where I have met the young and wise prophet."

"His strength does not seem to be strong, as rumors have been rumored, he has the ability to hide his strength, and likes to use his wisdom to guide barbarians to wisdom, and does not like to show brute strength."

Dalian's words did not cause any mood swings among the old men and women.

An old woman with a bark face and the pungent smell of flowers and spices said, "Can you make him obedient with charm?" ”

"Probably not." Not surprised, Julianne respectfully explained, "Audrey of the Serpent family has the ability to charm, but since she returned, she has been constantly praising the prophet, and always comparing that prophet to other men. ”

"I think the prophet only taught Audrey a lesson, but that's enough to show how powerful he is."

After hearing that the charm was ineffective, the old woman said no more, quietly closed her eyes and waited for the rest of the people to decide.

An old man proposed: "No matter how strong his strength is, he will have weaknesses, the Snake Family and the Bear Family will definitely send someone to assassinate him, and those people in the Bird Family will not wait for death." ”

Darien nodded, not saying anything more.

The young girl didn't want to get into trouble, and although she came across as a quiet lady, Darienne didn't like to be seen as a good girl, and she didn't want to get into trouble.

Count Punk said with a solemn face: "Assassination is not good, it is too dangerous." ”

The rest looked at the head of the house.

"It's okay to keep this kind of thing hidden." An old man hiding in the shadows chuckled and said what was on everyone's mind.

Count Punk glanced at the old man and continued, "Elder Agmar, I am not talking about such dangers, now that the prophet is the faith of all the Cold Lands, and if he dies in assassination, this war will not stop. ”

"On the contrary, the Io Kingdom will only become the target of revenge from those barbarians, and those believers will never let anyone on the Io Kingdom go."

Assassinating Lawrence would only lead to disorderly and chaotic retaliation, and no one could replace Lawrence in giving the barbarians better treatment, so those people could not be co-opted.

Especially for those young people who grew up under the wings of the Prophet as children, killing Lawrence will cause everyone in the Frozen Lands to live the rest of their lives with revenge as the goal.

It was not the king who died, but the prophet.

Lawrence's role as the king of the land of stars is only incidental, and his true status is that of a spiritual leader and a spokesman for God in this land, and whoever wants to rule the Land of Ice will avenge Lawrence.

The old man Agma said with a smile: "That has nothing to do with us, as long as he dies, the Xiong family and the church will drive away the remaining barbarians." ”

Punk listened to the old fellow, and looked at the calm old people.

This is the attitude of most of the old people, who feel that there is no difference between the barbarians of today and the barbarians of ten years ago.

For many well-informed old people, they have experienced too many things in their lives, and many young people think that things that are important things can be treated with a smile a long time ago.

As the head of the family, Punk could not disobey the common decision of the elders, who seemed to fight all day long, but maintained an amazing tacit understanding on many things.

The old guys of the various families have taken the same measures, killing! Kill Lawrence!

The next day, the meeting was held again, and this time the faces of the crowd became much more solemn.

Agmar, who had been smiling darkly, sat in his seat in fear and waited in fear.

The barbarians killed the whole family of Agmar.

Soon the head of the house, Count Punk, came in.

Agma exasperated, "Why are they moving so fast?!" My grandson and servants were still eating at the manor and they had their heads cut off!! ”

Punk didn't bother to pay attention to the old man's roar, and walked quickly to the side of his seat and stood.

"The people of the Church of the Stars do not negotiate, and the Land of Ice does not receive all the emissaries and guests of our country."

"The ships in our port have been taken away by them, and the houses and people in our port city have been smashed by those artillery."

"Now that Port Tolomi can't hold on, our soldiers have died too much, and the Bear and Lizard families refuse to send troops to support us, we must get out of here!"

Agma said angrily, "Can't hold it after only one day? Let those knights rush forward! ”

Punk was very serious, "We have to leave all today!" ”

"Today, the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Stars have not officially arrived, their generals are afraid of the wizards of the nobles and refuse to risk landing, once they know your strength, they will not give us any more chances!"

The port controlled by the Fish family was able to hold out for a day under the main attack of the Invincible Armada, mainly because the barbarian generals were very afraid of the wizards.

Seeing too much of that terrifying wizarding power, especially being abused by a single wizard, Fryce and these people don't want to fight against wizards unless they have to.

It is precisely because of this fear that he is very cautious and restrained when attacking this traditional old aristocratic force.

The wizards of the Yu family are a group of old men and women who have been comfortable for decades or hundreds of years, and there are indeed many strong people among them, but at this age, they basically don't want to fight on behalf of the Yu family.

There are countless witches and witches who have died at the hands of the barbarians, even the evil three witches of the swamp have been killed, as well as the Wave Kingdom and the Gran Kingdom, as well as various powerhouses of the two major churches of Dawn Holy Light.

Fryce and the others are very afraid of witchcraft and refuse to take risks easily, unless they have to play to decide the winner, otherwise they don't want to have nothing to do with this kind of life-and-death gamble.

The old wizards of the Yu family are also afraid of bloodthirsty barbarians, especially the barbarians in the Cold Lands, who have become wizard killers and witchers over the years.

The nobles of the Yu family quickly fled and retreated, and all the sea roads had been blocked, and the nobles of the Yu family went up the river and witchcraft to gather towards the bird family gathering area in the hinterland.

The Lizard Family's swordsmen were quickly defeated by the lancers in the plains, and even if more than a dozen royal knights composed of more than a dozen bipedal wyverns flew out in the end, it did not change the tide of the battle.

The barbarians' javelin throwing skills let these fragile lizards know what it means to be messed with.

The one-sided war soon brought countless bad news to the Kingdom of Io, which lost two-thirds of its land in ten days. (End of chapter)
