December 12.

On the eve of the diversion of the long river of fate, it is still flowing quietly.

In the southeast of Levin County, a cavalry force of more than 30,000 men was marching between the lakes and the hills.

The clouds were thick, the cold wind was bitter, and at the front of the queue, the Snowton lion flag and the "fire hibiscus" military flag fluttered in the air. There is no army that dares to provoke the "Golden Hibiscus" knights on open terrain. What's more, in the forest of flags of high and low, there are two particularly eye-catching ones, Nacini's royal flag, the "Thunder Lion", and Carter Roman's handsome flag, "Blood Moon Scimitar".

"The lake is beautiful and the scenery is good. "King Nacini rode his horse up the grassy knoll, and the long wind was blowing in his face, and he was very happy.

Among the three northern counties, the terrain of Levine is mainly hilly, and there are many lakes and woodlands, and the scenery is beautiful. The only flaw is that after the double ravages of Snowdon's Eastern Route Army and the Desert Cavalry, the whole county is sparsely populated, and the towns you pass through on the way are only ruined and occupied, occupied by crows and wild dogs.

"Ten years ago, this was a famous resort for Ian, and the princes and nobles and the high-ranking members of the Holy See built manors here," Carter Roman continued, "but since the city of Elendil was occupied by the wraiths, Levineshire has gradually withered, after all, not far away, is the 'fortress of sorrow'. He pointed due north, and the clouds in that direction seemed to be particularly gloomy.

"The Shield of Light," said King Nacini, ...... suddenly asked, "it is because of this city that Uncle Hansent was so angry that on the way back to his hometown, he was wounded and sick and died, right?"

Cartroman's face changed slightly, and after a long time, he sighed, "yes." At that time, the power of the Elendil family was inflated, and among the three heroes in a generation, they were expected to become legendary warriors, and the Holy See headquarters was naturally suspicious...... After receiving information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the former king decided to take a divisive measure. Eliminate this hidden danger outside the battlefield, but Hancent thought that it was against martial arts, and admonished him directly to his face, and his tone was quite serious...... Unexpectedly, he recurred arrow sores on the way, and heard the news of the destruction of the city by Elendil. The chest is depressed, and he can't afford to get sick. ”

"But in my memory, my uncle has always been open-minded, so it shouldn't be like this. King Nacini shook his head in confusion and looked at Cartroman, as if he wanted to find out more.

"Actually, Hansent is not against a divisive plan," Carter Roman was silent for a moment. He replied, "Rather, the former king and the former Archbishop of the Holy See, Samuel." Agreements reached privately. ”

"What agreement?" asked King Nacini with a tilted head.

"The Holy See has removed Elendil, the first king is in the Prince of Jonas, and the empire has converted to ......the Lord of Light," Carter Roman's voice was very soft, with a hint of secrecy, "and Hancent insisted that the throne should be passed on to you. ”

"Father. Do you really want to pass the throne to your eldest brother?" King Nacini raised his eyebrows and his eyes burned.

"Of course not," Carter Roman, shaking his head, "the first king meant to pretend to agree. After the Holy See destroyed its own walls, it immediately sent troops south to sweep away the 'Holy Alliance' first, and then talk about other things. ”

"The Holy See isn't that easy to fool, is it?" asked King Nacini suspiciously, for an agreement like this would inevitably lead to a strict contract between the two sides.

The first king did not believe that after breaking his oath, there would really be divine punishment. Carter Roman replied.

King Nacini touched the stubble on his chin, always feeling that something was wrong, but for a moment he had no clue.

On a gentle mound, the cavalry turned over and dismounted, and this was their camp for the night.

Next to it is a half-moon-shaped lake, which has both an abundant and clean source of water and a guarantee against enemy attacks, although this is very unlikely.

"How much do you know about the changes in Elendil back then, Uncle Wang?" always felt that what Cartromann said was not true, and King Nacini specially invited Agassi, the commander of the "Golden Hibiscus", to inquire again.

Agassi didn't hide anything, but his answer was not much different from that of Catroman, and finally, he added, "Also, before the chaos, the four knights all arrived at the Iron Wall Pass and prepared to fight south, but unfortunately after the slaughter of the city, the city of Elendil was occupied by the resentful spirits, and several vanguard troops, intending to go around the city, but all of them were folded in the diffuse miasma, and none of them survived......"

"I always feel that there is another force behind this," said King Nacini, after a moment of silence, and then asked, "and then?"

"After many attempts, but the loss of his troops made him abandon his plan to go south," replied Agassi cautiously, "I remember that it was after that the king regretted his promise several times. ”

King Nacini looked back and realized that it was indeed from that time that his father began to train himself vigorously, and expressed his desire to change his heir.

"If we can open the corridor of Elendil again," King Nacini said without further thought, pausing and looking up at the northern sky, "then we have another layer of security. ”

"The king is still not at ease, is the 'path of the lightwalker' safe?" Agassi explained, "With the Count Violet guarding it, the king doesn't need to worry too much. ”

"Since the beginning of the war, the 'Golden Hibiscus' has made many achievements," the king of Nacini commanded as he paced by the lake, "and you will select a group of meritorious middle and lower rank officers, and I will use them as the backbone to form a convoy to be stationed in the valley of the Herseus all year round." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Agassi took the order, as the "golden hibiscus" of the royal family's private army, his loyalty is beyond doubt.

"Bring the wine. Cartroman marched into the tent, unfastened his long knife, and threw it onto the bedding that had not yet been spread.

"General, the meal hasn't been prepared yet...... the soldier said embarrassedly, bowing closer.

"Wine. Apparently, Carter Roman was in a bad mood, he sat behind the desk and said only one word.

"Yes, sir. Seeing his face, the soldiers were startled, hurriedly turned around and went out of the tent, and soon carried back a large barrel of fine wine

"Get out. Cartromans ordered him to put the barrel down, and then waved it back.

When he was the only one left in the tent, Cattroman slapped open the barrel with one palm, poured himself a drink, and in the blink of an eye, he was three or five lamps down. On his slightly pale face, a touch of flying red suddenly appeared.

"To you. "Drunken Carter Roman. Sprinkle the wine in the cup in front of the desk, as if it were there, still sitting his former friend.

It's just "once", because when Hansen came out of Beijing, the friendship between the two came to an end. Or rather, earlier. By the time Cartromans presented the intimate words of the two of them to the old lion king, he had turned his back on his friend.

"How can you be friends with the enemy commander?" Cartroman muttered to himself, as he could imagine how remorse and anger Hancent would have felt when he learned that Elendil had been slaughtered.

Because that plan was originally conceived by Hansente. That year, two old friends. On the iron wall, one of them drank bitterly to the moon, looking at the "shield of light" opposite, half drunk and half joking, and proposed a vicious strategy to break the city. The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and soon after, the old lion king who was obsessed with the southern expedition. At the Imperial Military Council, it was decided to adopt a divisive strategy.

Until now. Carter Roman still remembers how Hancent looked at him in astonishment, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.

But old friend, you are content with the status quo because of your affection for Ellen. But how many young generals in the imperial army dreamed of going south to fight. He has made an immortal feat.

And Carter Roman, the craziest of these war maniacs.

"Now, under my feet is the land of the Holy See of Light. Cartroman's cup drank the remnants of the wine, tossed the cup aside, he straightened up, stared at the air in front of him, and said softly, "In the future, one day, I will travel all over the continent and ......."

"At that point, you'll understand who's right. ”

The Tower of St. White.

"It's going to snow. "Innedil was lying on the railing, his face full of longing, like an innocent child, waiting for the snow to fall, and then he could build a snowman, have a snowball fight, and play with him.

"Tomorrow afternoon, the 'Heavenly Cornerstone' Great Array will be officially launched," the Pale Lord asked in a slow voice, "There won't be any problems, right?"

"No," Innedir's voice was as cold as ice, "during the drill, the people who had problems have been beheaded for public display. ”

"Very well," the Pale Lord praised, "and now, you are a qualified king. ”

"I am the fifty-sixth archbishop of the Holy See...... "Innedil seems to remind himself not to forget who he is.

"And the last," the Pale Lord took over, his tone full of temptation, "after the Kingdom of Heaven comes, you will be the only king of heaven and earth, and hundreds of legendary powerhouses will gather under your command, and in front of them, whether it is the lion king of the north or the eldest princess of the south, they will all kneel and submit...... An empire of light that spans the north and south will be built in your hands, and the name of Innedir, the king of light, will appear in the canons of the Holy See, in the annals of the Empire of Light, and in all the records of human history. ”

"Yes...... "Innedil looked at him blankly, like a child, waiting for the candy promised by the Pale Lord.

"Trust me, trust you. The evil god who rules "hypocrisy" and "deception" said with a smile.

Seeing Innedir's ignorant nod, the Pale Lord urged gently, "Child, it's time to rest, for the coming of Heaven, you must keep your spirits up." ”

Innedil lay down on the couch and fell into a deep sleep, and he should have had a good dream, for it might be difficult for him to sleep peacefully in the future.

Herseus Valley.

"It's going to snow. Afra said happily that every child will look forward to the arrival of a snowy day.

"yes. Nada, who was lying next to him, echoed in a loud voice. Half of his hair had turned red, and he looked like an unburned flame, or a volcano about to erupt.

"Haven't the last batch of magic array disks been shipped to the front line yet?" Allegri asked casually at the tea table by the fireplace. Brooke accidentally mentioned it in the morning, and he learned about it.

"Where?" Onissa asked rhetorically, "Is it Severa, or is it Leajci?"

"That's right. Allegri nodded, not aware of the fallacy. The news of Snowton's iron cavalry attacking Leajic had just arrived, and it had been a while since this batch of magic arrays had been detained in the river valley.

"Wait until the next batch of array plates is finished, and then send them to Sherill, "Onisha thought for a moment and said, "If you have time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, activate the newly made array plates, otherwise in a few days, the king will return to hold a celebration banquet, and you will have no time to withdraw." ”

"No problem," Allegri asked, "how many unactivated arrays are there?"

"About sixty," Onissa replied, digressing the subject, "and there is one more thing that needs your approval." ”

"What's the matter?" Allegri leaned back in his soft chair and reached out to control the fire in the fireplace.

"The part of the castle that connects to the Violet Tower has already started construction," Onissa laughed, "Brooke said, you can use the 'energy furnace' of the Guò Magic Tower to heat the rooms inside the castle, can you modify the magic circle circuit, and it will also facilitate construction." ”

"It's very simple, but during the renovation, most of the functions of the magic tower cannot be activated," Allegri frowned slightly, but seeing Onisha's expectant expression, he still agreed, "Okay, it will take about three days to revise the drawings and prepare the materials, after that, I will let the magic tower temporarily hibernate to complete the renovation of the heating system." ”

"That way, our children don't have to worry about freezing. Onetsha hung her head, a blush on her cheeks.

"Yes...... Yes......" Allegri nodded again and again, at this time, Onisha, begging him for anything, he would not hesitate to agree.

"Teacher," Afra slid down the ledge and leaned over, "is there a room for me in the castle?"

"Of course," Allegri laughed, "and when it's finished, you'll have the choice." ”

Nada stood by the window timidly, the time was still short, and he had not yet been able to integrate into this atmosphere, but the envy in his eyes still exposed the inner thoughts of the young man.

"Nada, come here. Allegri glanced at him and beckoned.

"Your Excellency. The boy took a few steps closer and saluted respectfully.

"Sit," Allegri said softly, looking at him, "After your physique is enhanced, you should be able to train in martial arts, but due to congenital deficiencies, your future achievements will not be very high." ”

Nada nodded bitterly, he knew that too.

"In addition, you have a magical talent, but the same problem, the upper limit is too low," Allegri paused and continued, "But it just so happens that I have a Demon Warrior cultivation method here, created by me myself, which fits your situation quite well, I wonder if you are interested?"
