Section 306 is terrifying

"That's right, we have to do something. Clio couldn't agree more. "Otherwise, you and I...... Our future may not be as wonderful as we originally expected!" he said. "The question is, what to do? That's the point. ”

Historically, more than one person has been in the embarrassing situation of Essien, and the so-called "rabbit dead dog cooking" refers to this. For this kind of dilemma, there is indeed a classic countermeasure, called "raising self-respect". Of course, there are those who play this trick well, and there are those who get off it.

But the problem is that this countermeasure is now completely unfeasible. This is because Essien has done so well before, he has destroyed all the hidden dangers, wiped out the rebellious lords who are really powerful and ambitious, and turned the final victory into something within reach, so that anyone can do the rest.

The two men sat down at the table, pondering.

"Cleo," Essien finally spoke first. "The key to this crisis is ...... We lack allies in Eagle City. Therefore, we can only sit back and watch our enemies attack us, but we cannot defend ourselves. I used to think that ...... As long as we act fast enough, there will be no such crisis. It looks like I'm wrong, and I couldn't be more wrong. He sighed softly. "It's much easier to write a report and slander than to march and set up a formation. ”

"What do you mean...... We need an ally in the court, and rightly so, if we had an ally who had the weight to speak in front of the queen, there would not have been such a crisis. Clio agreed. "But let's be honest, who is this man?"

As mentioned earlier, the current court of the little queen was established after the coup d'état led by Byron. Her current group of courtiers, big and small, had nothing to do with Byron, and were all made up of people who had been exiled or neglected before. And Essien and Clio were Byron's henchmen for a time. So it is conceivable that they don't know these upstarts, even if they don't even know too many people. If you want to make friends with domestic help, you really can't find a suitable breakthrough point. If you have to say the candidate, there is only the palace chief Skadra. He was the one they knew best, the one they were supposed to be the most supportive. It's a pity that the two sides were on different sides at the beginning, and Skadera now has a knot in their hearts, which will not be resolved in a short time.

At least Clio doesn't have any such candidate in mind, let alone Essien.

Essien thought for a long time, then spoke again.

"There is another way, and that is to build miracles. Didn't those who attack us blame this war as a very simple and easy thing to do? If we have built up great feats, then all such attacks will naturally fail. Essien said. "Facts speak louder than any words. ”

"I admit you're right. Clio replied. "It's also a good idea. But what are we going to do now? Do we still have a chance to build miracles? Where is that opportunity?"

He made a gesture of resignation. As mentioned earlier, all the lords who could cause trouble had been wiped out by Essien, so completely that the rest had lost the faith to resist. In fact, even if the remaining lords resist to the end, they won't change anything. Because their strength is very limited, and they are not really ready for war. Defeating them has nothing to do with the term "miraculous feats" at all.

"Chance," a frightening smile suddenly appeared on Essien's face. "It's on your own. There was a determined glint in his eyes. "The most dangerous rebel lords have been defeated by us. He paused, "But that's not to say we don't have a chance to build miracles!"

"What do you mean......"

"Clio," Essien said. "Yes, it's a lot more troublesome than I first thought. Not only do we have to deal with clever enemies, but we also have to deal with colleagues who are dragging their feet or even stabbing them in the back. But, as the saying goes, a hard job is a reward. This is our chance, perhaps once in a lifetime. He looked at his good friend. "The opportunity to reach the sky in one step is something that most people will never encounter once in their lifetime. Since we have encountered it, we must firmly grasp it. Even if it is death, I hope to die on the road to my ideals. ”

His voice was eager and infectious, but Cleo's face changed immediately.

"Essien, you're playing with fire! You're gambling, but you have to understand that you can't afford to pay......"

"It's a gamble!" replied Essien viciously. "From the time I made this request to the little queen...... We're walking off a cliff. If you take one wrong step, you will never have a chance to turn over! But since we have survived until now, then ...... Maybe the gods really favor us, and we shouldn't have any doubts about ourselves!"

......

Ashrufat knocked the door.

It was early evening, a short free time after dinner and before the sun set. Even this war-ready city will have a rare time to relax. Looking down from the top of the castle, you can see soldiers in groups of soldiers buying goods in the market area...... Of course, the most numerous of them are tobacco.

This kind of thing is a very useful thing for mentally stressed soldiers, which can dispel fatigue and boost morale. Other than that, it doesn't have any effect that affects the battle. So the military may ban alcohol, but there are very few smoke-free ones.

"Come in. Barranca's voice came from the room. Ashrufat pushed the door in,

Barranca was lying on his bed in a casual and lazy life, wearing a shirt and trousers, with his hands behind his head. The buttons on the chest of his shirt were not buttoned, and they were loosened so casually, revealing his thick pecs.

"Ah, Lord Count!" Barranca was clearly unaware of the visitor's identity. He immediately got out of bed.

Ashrufat closed the door first and locked it. When he had done this, he looked around. Barranca sat on the edge of the bed in astonishment, clearly not seeing the melody of Ashrufat's move—but he understood it at once. Ashrufat's gaze rested on a small closet in the corner of the room.

There, there is a strangely shaped piece of metal.

Ashruphat could recognize what it was. Because as Beller said before, the same thing, Aerufat also has one. Beyond that—and Beller probably couldn't feel it—Aeruphat could feel the hidden magical power of the thing.

Ashrufat's gaze remained motionless on the thing for a long time before turning to Barranca again. As he expected, Barranca's face had turned very pale.

He took two steps in three steps and walked straight to the closet. Before Barranca could speak or act, Ashrufat had already taken the thing in his hands. Now, there is no longer a trace of doubt.

"Your Excellency Barranca. Ashrufat played with the artifact of chaos magic in his hand, and his eyes rested on Barranca's body, "Like, you have something interesting in your hand." ”

Barranca instinctively reached for his sword at the head of the bed (like many soldiers, he held his weapon on the side of the bed), but withdrew it halfway through. In this respect, he was aware of Ashrufat's abilities. Although Barranca is also confident in his own skills, he is also self-aware. Besides, what does it matter if Eshurufat is weak? Can he still kill Eshurufat? As a lieutenant general, murder the main general?

He let out a desperate sigh. Remorse washed over his soul like a tidal wave—he should have thrown this thing in the trash along with the conditions of the Chaos Wizards, or simply given a single qiē to the priests of the church!

Ashrufat didn't say anything, keeping his eyes on Barranca's face. After a long time, when Barranca had finally calmed down, Ashrufat placed the metal utensil on the table beside him, and then sat down himself.

Barranca's eyes couldn't help but look over the door.

"Don't worry," Ashrufat said. "Parry is injured and recovering from his injuries and won't move lightly. General Bayrell was planning an ambush to take out as many of the Marauder cavalry as scouts for the Chaos Legion, so he wasn't in the city at all. The priests of those churches were also busy, performing ceremonies for the fallen soldiers...... In short, I believe that no one will come to this area at this time, and we can have a good talk. ”

Barranca's rooms are also high above the castle in the center of Neustria. This is the area of high-ranking officers, and ordinary people generally do not approach.

"What are you talking about?" Barranca exhaled hard. The tension he had just felt had faded, and his mind had returned to normal thinking, and then he quickly realized that this was not an arrest. Because if it was a surprise attack, then Ashrufat would not have made the "anti-lock" move after entering the door.

If the worst case scenario for him was to get the strange magic item in his hands as soon as he entered the door, and let out a snort, followed by the priests and soldiers of the Church swarming through the door. If that's the case, Barranca is completely finished.

But Ashrufat locked the door to prevent anyone else from entering.

"This thing was given to you by the Chaos Wizard, right?" Ashruphat asked, shaking the metal in his hand.

"That's right. By now, Barranca knew that it would be futile to deny it.

"I want to know what kind of deal he is asking of you. Ashrufat smiled, as if noticing Barranca's nervous look. "Don't worry, I have the same thing here. ”
