Chapter 4: Mentoring
"Prince Dick, I warn you once again! You are a foreign enemy!" Marshal Lupsas's eyes were bloodshot, and the green tendons on his forehead were jumping suddenly, and he was obviously furious. His hands were propped up on the table in front of Dick, and he leaned forward slightly, glaring at Dick with reddish eyes.
Dick, who was sitting across from him, looked at him faintly, but his expression was very calm, like a calm well against a furious tsunami. Dick smiled slightly: "Lord Marshal, why do you have such a big fire. Don't you know? The Abyssal Demons out there have already recognized me as king, and they will complete the tasks I have assigned me to the very standard, and in terms of loyalty, the Abyss Demons are much more reliable than the Terrans. โ
The 400,000 rebel army of the Miro Empire has captured Xiufa City in the southeast of the Xiusi Empire at this moment, and Xiufa City is occupied by the five princes of the Xiusi Empire, and like several other princes, they are all pressed and beaten by the Faun Imperial Army borrowed by the eldest prince Daniel, and they have to shrink Shili to the east of the empire.
As Dick had expected, the 300,000-strong army of the Demon Clan joined forces with the Terran Legion at this time.
When the Terran sentinels saw the overwhelming demon army, which was dense like a blood-colored wave, they were so shocked that they almost fell off the watchtower. He panicked and ran in fear all the way to the tent, his terrible shouts piercing the silence of the camp.
However, Dick, after hearing the report, only smiled at him and said something that almost dropped his jaw to the ground: "Don't be alarmed, it's our allies who are coming." โ
The sentinel's face was strange, and he stopped talking. But then Marshal Lupsas got the news, and he immediately ran to the tent. A stern warning to Dick.
It is an unwritten rule that wars between the nations of the Terrans are an internal matter of the Terrans. For the sake of internal war, we must not transfer key troops stationed on the borders of aliens and let aliens enter the customs. It is precisely because of this that neither the Mirรณ Empire troops approached the Mirรณ capital in the Battle of Thuphaste nor the Faun Empire troops approached the Mirรณ capital in the Battle of Millrok, and neither of the precarious countries sent troops stationed on the border to defend the territory.
Because the result of not dispatching border troops is only the destruction of the country, and the consequence of doing so is that it will be infamous for thousands of years, which will be despised by future generations.
Dick's actions, although not identical, are indirectly causing the same consequences. That is, for the war between the human races, the alien race was released.
"Lord Marshal, please understand that this is different. Dick explained, "I did let the demons in, but they didn't do any harm to the Terrans except to kill them on the battlefield, and as you can see, they obeyed my orders in full." โ
Lupsas's eyes were still glaring, and his tone was fierce and threatening: "This is an internal matter of the Terrans themselves. There is no need for interracial interference. โ
Dick smiled coldly, "Didn't the elves and dwarves also get involved in our army?" and Lord Marshal, you don't really think that with 400,000 troops we can defeat the Faenne. The Faun people have preserved the most intact strength in the past two years of war, and they have invested more than 600,000 troops in this war!"
"None of this is a reason!" Lupsas roared, "The demon race and the human race are old enemies, and the blood feud between the two races is as deep as the sea. It's not something you can get rid of with a word!"
Dick laughed, "Isn't there a saying? There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." โ
Marshal Lupsas's muscles jumped, and he said angrily: "Duke Dick! Don't think that you can do whatever you want when you become Prince Regent. โ
"Huh," Dick chuckled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Marshal, that's what you're really trying to say. Have you been dissatisfied with me as Prince Regent for a long time?"
"Don't get me wrong, Your Majesty. Wechen didn't dare. Lupsas bowed his head, but his eyes twinkled.
Dick said lightly: "That's good, you remember, I am the Prince Regent, and I am also the supreme commander of the rebel army this time." All you have to do is obey my orders!"
Lupsas's eyes flickered, he muttered for a long time, and finally snapped into a military salute. "Yes, do as you command!"
"Do you have anything else to do?" Dick gave a faint eviction order.
"No, please allow Weichen to retire first. Lupsas said, turning and lifting the curtain and leaving the camp.
Dick looked at his back and let out a long breath.
As soon as Marshal Lupsas left the camp, he summoned one of the guards and whispered in his ear: "Go and fetch a silver eagle, I will send a message to the Knight of Cornele." โ
"Yes, as you order!" the guard immediately took the order.
On a moonlit and starry night, the Chinese army is in a big tent.
"The headquarters of the Holy See of Light is here. Macfarlane pointed to a spot above the sand table with his right index finger, and said that there was a reckless mountain, surrounded by green peaks and cliffs, and there was a huge towering white building.
At this moment, there were only Dick, McFarlane, and Landas in the tent, and Thor was guarding outside the tent, forbidding anyone to approach.
McFarlane continued: "The Holy See of Light is the state religion of my Theseus Empire, and several of my royal brothers are followers of the Lord of Light, but I don't believe in that. โ
"The precipitous mountains held back the advance of the army, making it impossible to send troops to raid, and the soldiers had enough elite crusaders to be prepared for everything in the time they had to climb the mountains. โ
"The headquarters of the Holy See of Light has nine floors, the upper nine floors are the paradise of the clergy, and the lower nine floors are the hell of the infidels. Well, it's just a metaphor, the upper ninth floor is where the Holy See of Light handles religious affairs, preaches charism, and receives oracles, and on the top floor lives the Pope. The lower ninth floor was the prison where the infidels were kept, and it was supposed to be where Dimihera was held. โ
"The headquarters of the Holy See of Light is full of masters, and the Pope doesn't know what the depth is, but just those cardinals and senior priests are a force that cannot be ignored. You've probably experienced the fighting power of the Crusaders and the power of their leader, Grecia. All in all, if we want to attack the interior of the Holy See, and then go down to the ninth underground level to save people, it is impossible with our current strength. โ
"And what are we going to do?" Dick said with red eyes.
"What would you do if I told you to give up in your friend's shoes?" said McFarlane, looking into Dick's eyes.
"That can't be. Dick said lightly. The tone was steady, as if he was telling something very ordinary.
Macfarlane smiled bitterly, "That Miss Dimichra is a lucky woman, well, let me tell you my advice, if you want to save people, you had better go on the day of the Holy Scriptures."
"First, the day of the canon is at the end of the year, when it is in the middle of winter, the weather is cold, the clouds are dense, and the lack of sunlight is not conducive to the use of light magic, this is the time of day; second, the place where the stake is burned is in the large square of the headquarters of the Holy See, which is convenient for rescue, which is the geographical advantage; third, before the demons are burned at the stake, the bishops and priests of the Holy See will join hands to pray to the main god, and communicating with the main god will consume a lot of their magic power, which is human. โ
Dick pinched his chin and groaned, "You have a point, there are still about four months before the day of the Holy Scriptures, just in time for me to help you recover your land." โ
"Are you going to lead an attack, or do you want to lead some of your masters to attack?" asked Macfarlane.
Dick laughed: "Is there anything more ridiculous than attacking the Holy See of Light with our strength?" (to be continued......)
