The Sword of the Conqueror, Gerdios, was too valuable for Perdiccas to lend easily. Coupled with the fact that the other party is a notorious evil dragon, the sword is in his hand, and it is not so simple to get it back.

However, if Elrens's request is refused, then it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to help again, and the success rate of this operation to kill Melagros may be greatly reduced. If you talk about magic and vindictiveness alone, the regent also has several strong men under him who are not weaker than the other party. However, the black dragon has both powerful dragon magic and powerful physical attacks, and the combined power of the two is very amazing, which can be said to far surpass the magicians and knights of the same level! Looking at the entire city of Pera, there are almost no people who are more qualified than him in the task of storming the Refractive Castle!

Thinking of this, the regent couldn't help but hesitate. After much hesitation, he decided to focus on solving the problem of Melagolos as a henchman first. As for whether or not the Sword of the Conqueror can be recovered, this will be discussed until the matter is completed......

It was fast into the night, and at the other end of the Ajid Mountains in the southern part of the city of Pera, Fort Refracted Light was located at the top of a hill, with a large lake behind it, and cliffs on the right and left, with only a path leading down the hill to the front door. In the Privy Council in the center of the tower, Melagolos was standing behind a window. Look at the night outside in a daze.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind howled and blew through the dense forest, and all around was the rustle of countless branches and leaves as they swayed. A scene before the mountain rain is about to come. From a distance, the city of Pella, which is as large as if it has no boundary, is in a depression, and it will no longer be prosperous with thousands of lights. And farther away, faint flashes of light and muffled explosions could be heard from time to time. Melagros knew that it was not a lightning strike, but a fierce exchange of fire between the warring sides with magic cannons on the periphery. Every time a fire rises, it means that another soldier who has fought bloody battles has lost his young life.

Pera is already in a desperate situation. This conclusion had been reached by Melagolos several months earlier. With the strength and loose organization of the Olympian Alliance, it was simply impossible to fight against the two powerful enemies of Holy Rome and Nicaea and their vassal states alone, and defeat was a matter of time. Ironically, Perdiccas couldn't see this clearly. With the courage of a horseman, it doesn't matter if he wants to die by himself, but he wants the entire national fortune of Pera to be buried with him!

Only I, Melagolos, am the only one who remains sane and sane. For the survival of the country and the nation. He had to compromise and offer peace at the cost of ceding all the territory north of Pera. Only in this way can Pera and the entire Olympia League survive on the brink of destruction, and only then can they slowly recuperate after the war and return to their former glory.

It's a pity that most of the princes, ministers and generals in the Olympia League can't see this clearly, but instead regard themselves as traitors and draw a line one after another......

Looking out the window at the city of Pella, which had calmed down for a moment before the storm came, Melagros sighed. He looked back with a heavy heart. In the Privy Council, which was a little dark by candlelight, two other men were seated.

One of them was dressed in the light armor of an army general. He was about thirty years old, and the lower half of his left arm was empty, and it was none other than Ricas, whose wrist had been cut off by Seleucus during the Imperial Assembly a few months earlier. Licas's father was Polybecon, the commander of the Eastern Floating Fleet, and the father and son were also close friends of the vice-regent, and Melagaros trusted them.

As for the other man, Melagramus squinted, he had not said a word since the other party entered the Privy Council, he was wearing a black hooded robe, and his face was also hidden in the shadows, and the whole person was mysterious, and he was uncomfortable selling any tricks.

"Your Excellency Archduke Albrecht, please speak quickly if you have anything to say, I still have many things to attend to. ”

The deputy regent finally couldn't help but speak, "But if you're here to make me rebel and join you, then there's no need to waste your strength. My purpose is peace, and the reason why I am in contact with you is for the sake of the country, not for my own interests. ”

"Okay, I see. But please do not call me Your Excellency, for in fact my glory comes from my position as Chief Master of the Order. ”

The black-robed man finally flipped the hood off his head. He was about fifty years old, with a zigzag face, short hair and a thick beard, unusually sharp eyes, and a scar that ran from his left forehead to his right chin.

He looked at the frowning Melagoros and smiled indifferently: "I can understand that you are not willing to betray your country. But your countrymen do not agree with you, and they want to get rid of you for their own sake. ”

The deputy regent shook his head and flatly denied it: "This kind of talk is meaningless, although there are contradictions within our Pera, it is far from reaching the point of life and death. You deliberately intimidated me in the hope of gaining an advantage at the negotiating table, but this time I am afraid that it will not be possible, because I am not the greedy person you imagined to be afraid of death!"

When Melaculus had said this, he looked Albrecht in the eye as if he were fearless. The other party's smile was secretly contemptuous, as if he could see that he was bluffing.

In fact, the deputy regent has been based on the political arena of Pera for many years, and he has buried his eyes and ears in various departments, and he has long been aware of the current undercurrent in the city, and many parties are becoming more and more dissatisfied with themselves, and they collude together to make trouble at any time. In the past few days, Melaculus has sent a large number of spies to closely monitor the movements of Perdiccas and other major enemies, Shili, while hiding in his old nest Fort Refraction to prevent the other party from plotting. Of course, such a thing must not be admitted to the enemy, otherwise they will open their mouths at the negotiating table.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Albrecht sneered and said, "Let me tell you the truth! You think you know everything about Perdiccas, but in fact your men have already betrayed!

Melagolos was astonished, these were the men who were currently in power in Pera's hands, and although he knew that they were dissatisfied with him, he never expected that he had come to the point where he had come together to discuss his own execution! Is what this messenger from Holy Rome said credible, could he be intimidating me? If so, why is there no movement at all from my men who have been sent to monitor me, and have they really betrayed me? No, it can't be! But if it is true, what should I do!

The deputy regent pretended to be calm, but in fact, he was extremely frightened in his heart, and even his hands couldn't control and trembled slightly. Although Melagros was still able to control his emotions, the young general Likas beside him was frightened by the news!

His face was pale and he could not keep his composure, so he stood up at once, and shouted to the deputy regent with a trembling voice: "My lord, what can we do now, if they mobilize troops to attack, no matter how strong the Refractive Fort is, it will not last long!

"Shut up and sit down!!" said Melagoros, scolding at Rikas, with a deep hatred in his heart. Although this kid is loyal, his personality is so impetuous, he has suffered two big losses in a row and has not grown at all, and he can't do big things at all. As soon as he said a word, he was so frightened that he shouted, and all the bottom lines were revealed!

Likas was so red from the scolding that he had to sit down with his head shut. Melagros turned his head, gritted his teeth, and said to Albrecht: "Is the information of Your Excellency the Chief Commander accurate, it should not scare me?" ”

The messenger of the Holy Rome, knowing that he had taken the initiative in this conversation, was full of confidence, and he smiled and said: "This is natural, 100% accurate! Think for yourself, how long has it been since no one has come to report to you tonight?"

The vice-regent's heart was gloomy.

According to the rules, every one to two hours someone should come and report to him on the movements of Perdiccas. However, since a debriefing four hours ago, nothing has been heard from again. In this way, Albrecht's words should be true. As far as the current situation is concerned, holding on to Fort Refracted Light is definitely a dead end, and the best way is to quickly transfer to the Peisong Corps, which is stationed in the defense line of the Bottomless Lake, and then use it as a base to gather troops that are still loyal to him. Then unite the armies of Holy Rome and Nicaean to defeat Perdiccas in one fell swoop, control the situation of the entire Pella and even the Olympia League, and then negotiate peace...... Since so many people have already betrayed themselves, at such a critical moment, if Peisong also colludes with Perdiccas to betray me, then wouldn't I have thrown myself into the net?!

Albrecht smiled even brighter, he stood up and walked to Melaglos, patted his shoulder and comforted: "I believe you also know that the current situation is that the whole of Pera has united against you, no matter who is unreliable! But you don't have to worry, our Holy Rome still supports you, in fact, the elite troops of the Teutonic Knights under my command have been assembled outside the city of Pella, you can go with me immediately to ensure your absolute safety!"
