Chapter 545: A Different Greeting

"Winnie?!How could it be you?" Vennie recognized her identity at a glance, despite her careful disguise.

"Ed also told me: 'I can fool anyone with this outfit!' Looks like he's bragging again!" Winnie didn't answer the saint's question directly, but shrugged her shoulders and put on a mischievous expression.

"Holy Maiden, Master, I am here to ask for help, do you have to save Ed and me this time?" Just as the three of them were guessing the purpose of Winnie's trip, she suddenly stepped forward and took the Holy Maiden's arm and pleaded with the three of them with a bitter face.

"What happened to the Grand Duke and you?" the Holy Maiden was the first to become nervous when she heard Vinnie's words.

"It's not the eldest prince yet!" Winnie motioned to Kuqi behind her to close the door, and then said to the three of them in a low voice.

"We've heard that he's mobilized a lot of elites again, and this time he's determined not to let us return to the Seine Peninsula alive!"

"I beg the Holy Maiden and the Master, can you lend a helping hand and save us?"

"You are here today, is it the intention of the Grand Duke, or is it your personal intention?" As soon as I heard that Ed had received reinforcements, Winnie came here, and the three of them were a little confused.

"Of course it's Ed and me, two people!, how dare I be in charge of such a big thing?!"

"This" the saint found it difficult to put her doubts into account, and she turned her gaze to Armstrong and Kaye, and motioned with her eyes for them to continue asking Winnie questions.

"I heard that the Grand Duke has accepted a master like a cloud, even a saint-level master!"

"The Grand Duke himself is not only a top-level martial artist in the Youlan Continent, but also has the magic level of the Great Magister. Ordinary martial artists, don't say hurt him, it's even difficult to get close to him! You're too worried!" Armstrong instinctively chose to 'dodge' before he could figure out Li Zijun's intentions.

"Archmage. Don't praise him anymore, a good tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves! What's more, all the 'tigers' that the eldest prince has mobilized this time are 'fierce tigers'! It is impossible for him to resist alone!"

"To tell you the truth, Anna and Sister Catherine made some preparations before Ed returned to Beijing, and Ed also played some tricks. With the wisdom of the eldest prince and the cunning of Panlin, they will sooner or later discover our bluff!"

In fact, not only did he not oppose the construction of a church of the Cult of Light in every city, but on the contrary, he also supported it very much, and he hoped that he would always receive the 'general illumination' and favor of the God of Light!"

There was nothing wrong with the land, but he was most worried about the cost of building the church. We just can't afford it!" Winnie said with a look of extreme embarrassment.

"'Little trick', 'expense'!" the three seemed to understand all at once.

"As far as I know, the Grand Duke has a close relationship with the Night Elves, why don't you ask them for help?" Armstrong knew Li Zijun's cunning, and he didn't want to be deceived by Winnie's words, so he continued to ask sideways.

"We did look for them, but according to the Night Elves, they all rushed to the Elven Forest and couldn't come back for a while. So Charity just"

"So the Grand Duke did a 'little trick'?"

"I'll let you see through it!" Winnie muttered in a low voice.

"Don't worry anymore! we, the Cult of Light, will do our best to protect the safety of the Grand Duke and his family this time, and ensure that everyone in your line returns home safely!"

"As for the cost of building the church. We weren't prepared for the Grand Duke to pay in full. We can discuss the exact ratio later, after all, this is not an urgent issue, let's put it aside for now. With the problem at hand, we have time to discuss the matter!" Armstrong readily agreed to Winnie's request. He did not dwell on the terms of cooperation between the two sides.

"It's that simple?!" the smooth outcome of the negotiation was completely beyond Anna's expectations, and she looked at Winnie who was returning to the courtyard, and she didn't quite believe her ears a little.

"It's that simple! I didn't expect it. The Church of Light God is so light, it has missed the opportunity to knock on our 'bamboo pole'!" Winnie looked at Anna and shook her head with a wry smile. She was also puzzled.

"If they don't mention conditions, could it be a hidden conspiracy?" Catherine was more convinced of the exchange of interests. Not only did the Illuminous God Cult's appearance not make her feel at ease, but she immediately became alert.

"No! If they really wanted to get rid of me, I wouldn't have left the Fengqi Empire alive! Although I didn't see the situation with my own eyes, I believe that Armstrong must have reached some kind of agreement with McAdam. Otherwise, with McAdam's strength, I have no chance of getting out!"

"There's no reason for them not to borrow this knife from the Dark Moon God Sect, and at the risk of annoying Virgil, they will personally deal with me!" Li Zijun waved his hand at Catherine, refuting her speculation.

"Why is that? Don't you think the Cult of Light is too good for you?" Catherine said as she looked at Li Zijun with a puzzled face.

"It's so good!"

"That's why you let Winnie deliberately 'leak' our 'little tricks' to them? You want to see where they treat you?" Anna instantly guessed the intention of Li Zijun's move.

"The result?"

"Surprisingly good!" Li Zijun thoughtfully gave an answer that surprised the three of them.

"Have you heard? The two elders of the Night Elves and the mysterious teacher from Edlaide have rushed to Alec's courtyard in the past few days!" A few days later, Harvey slapped a piece of information in front of Panlin.

Compared with several other forces, the news of Panlin is slightly lagging behind. No way, this is not their territory after all!

Panlin looked at Harvey and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"Blanche sues you?"

Panlin still didn't speak, and this time his movement changed to shaking his head.

"Have you seen the people that Waters transferred to us?" Harvey didn't seem to care about Panlin's silence, and continued with a sneer.

"It's just a bunch of useless waste, don't look at it!" this time Panlin finally spoke, and it was obvious that he, like Harvey, was also full of resentment.

"Waters doesn't share information with us, he doesn't assign us a good helper, he just wants us to lose both sides with Edlaide, and he can 'sit on the fisherman's advantage'!"

"Foolish dreams!"

"Let's go?"

Panlin obviously wanted to do the same, but he struggled and finally shook his head at Harvey helplessly.

"The Tibetan Empire has been on the rise lately, and the Seine Peninsula has been sending people to attack us. At this time, we need the support of Waters!"

"This Edlaide is really hateful! What is he going to do? Should we make a strong protest against His Majesty Virgil of Dongyu on the grounds that we are intent on stirring up a dispute between the two countries?"

"Does it work?"

"Edlaide's men are disguised as robbers and bandits, and we have no firm evidence that he instructed them. What are we going to do to protest to Virgil?"

"And I have some suspicions that Edlaide was instructed by Virgil!"

"Virgil wants to assist the Tibetan Empire in dealing with us?" Panlin's speculation made Harvey startled.

"The Tibetan Empire is not even a dog compared to Dongyu! We always believe that our real threat comes from Dongyu! Just imagine, our side is in the midst of a bloody battle with Zangbei, and Dongyu suddenly stabs out in the stab, what kind of result will it be?!"

"According to the intelligence, there is no sign of Dongyu assembling an army?"

"After the last war, Virgil didn't bring back all the reinforcements, I think he was ready to do so at that time! With the current number of troops stationed at Dongwoo on our border, do you think it is not enough to inflict heavy damage on us?"

"Since you've already made such a judgment, then what are we staying here for?" This time Panlin really scared Harvey, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

"Because of Edlaide!"

"At this time, you don't have to worry about those personal grievances!" Hearing that Panlin was still holding Li Zijun, Harvey was completely anxious!

"This matter has nothing to do with personal vendettas! In fact, there is no grudge between me and Edlaide, each is his own master!"

"Don't you think Virgil's punishment of Edlaide this time is a little strange? According to common sense, Virgil should have let Edlaide think about it behind closed doors in the capital and drive him back to the Seine Peninsula, he was too late to be free, how could he have time to think about it?!" Seeing that Harvey was puzzled, Panlin smiled helplessly and explained to him.

"You mean?"

"Edlaide himself may not have imagined that the fundamental purpose of Virgil in driving him back to the Seine Peninsula was to let him lead his troops against us!"

"In the contest of personal strength, neither you nor I will have the slightest fear of him! But if we are facing Edlaide who is the commander of the army, can you and I still have such confidence? Who in our Turk-Hungarian Empire can fight against him?" Speaking of this, Panlin couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"And with what I know of Edlaide, even if he gets such an instruction, he will hold back until the last minute. He will definitely wait until we are defeated by the Tibetan Empire before making a move!"

"We must not allow Edlaide to return to the Seine Peninsula alive!" Harvey said solemnly as he looked at Panlin with a shocked face.

"That's my decision, too! It's just, look at this thing. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Harvey. (To be continued......)
