After a thrilling time, it finally fell silent.

And now that it's over, it's natural to think about the gains and losses......

The Grey Army was in no danger, there were basically no casualties, and Josia and Frey were also spared the doom of becoming the commander of the light pole. If you put aside the ups and downs of the process, this ending is still good. After all, the Gray Army finally achieved its goal, and got the war reparations, abundant supplies, etc., which the victor deserved, and did not let the previous efforts be in vain.

On the other side of the Temple of Light, there are gains and losses. It was a loss to calculate that the Gray Army failed to succeed, and also took in several cardinal archbishops with high status. But then the layout in the royal court of the capital city was quite smooth, and the collaborator Grand Prince successfully cleared the obstacles and ascended to the throne in the near future. He also cut off the biggest enemy of the temple, the left arm and right arm of the sword god, and the big disciple Haita, which is Ying.

As for whether the profit is greater than the loss, or the loss is greater than the profit, it is like a person drinking water, and he knows whether he is warm or cold......

After all the calculations, the most lost should be the second prince who came to negotiate in the north. Not only was he calculated by his own brother and the largest force in the empire, the Temple of Light, but the two joined hands to calculate, and they were almost wiped out. The forces that stayed on his side in the royal court of the capital are now being purged and attacked by the strong purge of the great prince's side, which can be described as tragic!

However, there is also something to be thankful about, that is, the small life was saved, and there was some hope left in the end. When he returns to the south and gathers the old troops, he will not have no chance of winning at all......

Of course, that's all for later, and there's no need to say it now......

In the afternoon, the Gray Coats Army was stationed.

"The temple is against the water, the fallen messenger Merris is out of his sword, and he misses the ...... It's a pity, it's a pity, I knew I should have gone with you to see it. Alas......"

Ransha who listened to the general overview of the town. I can't help but pluck my palms. sighed for a long time, and it was a very regretful look.

It's still the usual four-person group meeting mode, except that Frey went to settle the overly frightened high-ranking generals, and he wasn't here. So Lansha's regret was, of course, for Don and Josia.

And the two of them looked at each other when they heard this, and they were both speechless at Lan Sha, which was more like a gloating look. Tang En rolled his eyes angrily: "It's a pity, it's terrible, isn't it! I was almost served in a pot, it seems that I still underestimated the temple's discipline and offline ......"

After a pause, Don suddenly remembered the little nun in the church by the sea, who was as white as paper. Thinking about the cunning and hypocritical face of the cardinal archbishop again, he shook his head, and didn't know what to say about the temple for a while, "It's a pity that they ran too fast, and when I asked for the location and caught up, I still couldn't serve the so-called temple elite mage group in one pot......"

"It's not your fault, they're prepared. Josia was also a little scared, and sighed speechlessly, "And think about it before the negotiations start." With all the enthusiasm of the temple, who would have thought that they would have such a plan?"

"Huh. You can only blame you for not being careful enough. Our tribe has been dealing with the Temple for so many years, and it has long been strange to them for their hypocrisy. Laughing and waving his hand, Lan Sha mended the knife unusually calmly, and then raised his eyebrows, remembering something, "By the way, you just said that the Bran Empire seems to be engaged in an internal struggle for imperial power......

"It's not like, it's certain. Tang En shook his head lightly and smacked his lips, "When the second prince returns to the south, it is estimated that the infighting will be even more severe......! It's not easy! It's quite courageous, and in that case, the first thing that comes to mind is to continue to fulfill the negotiation agreement. ”

"Not surprisingly, it's a choice that anyone who is smart would make. Lan Sha lifted the frame of his glasses, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said calmly, "Otherwise, let alone returning to the south, it is a question whether he can come out of the town alive." ”

Don and Josia were silent when they heard this, and that was exactly what happened. The confrontation between the two forces is very cruel, and it is completely unmixed with personal feelings and likes and dislikes. In that case, if the two princes didn't choose to do so, they really wouldn't mind killing or capturing each other alive. Even if the other party's gentle gesture gives them a good first feeling......

"Alright, I'm leaving. In a short silence, Lan Sha covered the teacup on the table, patted his palm, and suddenly got up and said freely.

Tang En couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Where are you going...... Uh, the Northern Wilderness army is coming?so quickly?" reacted instantly, and turned his head to look at Josia, who didn't show a surprised look, obviously knowing the details better than Done, who had set off to live in Red Maple Town a week ago.

"Yes. Lansha nodded his head, confirming Don's guess, and then said with a smile, "But it's not just for that reason, you can guess again. ”

Tang En was slightly stunned, then groaned slightly, and suddenly, shook his head and smiled: "I understand, dare you to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"What is called robbing while the fire is hot, this is called taking advantage of the trend. Lan Sha glanced at him with dissatisfaction, and said quite confidently, "Bran Imperial Power is such a good fighter, if I can't grasp it again, then it will be in vain to be the commander of the tribe." Hah-"

Isn't that the truth, Don also smiled and got up: "Haha, okay." Then I wish you success in this battle, and take Bran by the way. ”

"Oh, do you really think so?" asked Lansha with a slight brow and a smile.

"Well, don't worry about the details. Hehe......"

Well, Don would be a complete fool if he thought so. The reason is very simple, Bran, Northern Wilderness, and the Gray Army, which are the three main forces on the West Road today. Among them, the gray-clothed army sandwiched in it is the weakest, and the so-called side of the couch is not allowed to allow others to snore? Whether it is the Bran Empire or the Northern Wilderness tribe, which of them has the absolute upper hand, it is an extremely unfavorable situation for the newly established gray-clothed army.

Only the three-legged stand, mutual cooperation and mutual stalemate, this is the foundation of harmony.

Of course, these inside stories can be tacitly understood by each other, but it is not beautiful when they are really put on the table. After all, Lan Sha's identity is the Highness of the tribe and the future Empress of the Northern Wilderness, so no matter how good her relationship is with the Gray Army or someone, it is impossible for her to let go of the water and give up the idea of attacking the Bran Empire.

This is absolutely unrealistic!

Josia and the others knew this very well, but they weren't too worried. The rotten ship still has three pounds of nails. What's more, it is the Bran Empire, which has stood on the mainland for thousands of years, so the battle between the Northern Wilderness and Bran still has to be fought, and it is impossible to decide the winner in the short term. And this is also the opportunity for the gray army to take advantage of the development, what they lack now is time!

As long as there is enough time to buffer and precipitate, even if the Northern Wilderness tribe really destroys Bran at that time, their gray-clothed army should have the confidence to make a statement. It's nothing more than another fight when the time comes, it's not a big deal......

Of course, that is also a matter for the future, and it is difficult to say whether it will happen or not, and it is meaningless to say now.

The current situation is that Tang En, and even the Gray Army, must thank Lan Sha for his great help during this time. If Lan Sha had not commanded the army and fought in the north and south, the Grey Army would not have the current situation of almost completely controlling the entire northern part of Bran!

As if he knew this, Josia sat quietly on the side, her eyes drooping slightly, sipping her tea, and rarely did not disturb Lan Sha and Don En's greetings. Of course, it may also be because a week ago, she and Lan Sha had already finished saying what they should and shouldn't say in private, so naturally there is nothing to say now......

Well, in fact, Don and Lansha didn't talk for long. After all, no matter how much you greet each other, there is a time when you can finish talking, not to mention that there is Josia who did not interject on the side, but did not leave...... However, just as Lan Sha chuckled and nodded at Tang En for the last time, with a slight resentment that was unknown to outsiders. When you turn around and walk towards the gate,

With a creak, the door opened on its own, and someone pushed it open from the outside.

"Chief...... Uh, Lieutenant Marshal Lansha. It was Josia's close guard captain who spoke, Victor, as soon as he came in and looked up, he saw Lansha standing in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously saluted, and then continued to report, "Chief, there is a group of people outside who want to see you." Said to be Protestant, the leader is called Owens. ”

"Protestant?Owens?" Josia was stunned, looking dazed, obviously unfamiliar with the two names. On the side, Tang En's heart moved when he heard this, he blinked, looked thoughtful, and nodded at Victor, "Please come over." ”

"Yes. ”

"Acquaintances, former members of the Temple of Light, have hunted me down. Don half-turned, and explained succinctly to Josia who looked surprised, and then shrugged his shoulders and said, "But it's okay now, they have already come out of the temple to set up another mountain, founded a new religion, and now they are working against the temple." ”

paused, "Well, I have some friendship with me." ”

Josia suddenly bowed her head: "Listen to what you say, Protestant...... I think I've heard this name a few times lately. Well, but what are they doing with us coming to us?"

"Hehe, maybe the enemy of the enemy is the friend. After Victor's interruption, Lan Sha didn't go immediately, and he guessed with a chuckle.

"Probably not. Shaking his head lightly, Don touched his chin and muttered, "Remember when I asked from those few gods to find out the address of the group of elite mages of the temple who were hiding in the shadows and sneaking up? ”

After a pause, "Judging by the mess of rubble in the cave, and the bloodstains that have not yet had time to be cleared, there was a fierce battle there not long ago......"

"You mean, well, it was Owens and them who were fighting with the Divine Temple's elite mage group at that time?" Josia, who followed Tang En's train of thought and reacted quickly, couldn't help but ask in amazement, "It was precisely because of their interference that Merris's sword was deflected?"

"It's just a guess......" Having said that, Tang En already had a certain certainty in his heart. Because he knew that the scope of Protestantism today was thousands of miles away on the eastern coastline. So Owens, they're here now, that already says something......

But

"You guessed wrong, we didn't save you!"
