Chapter 602: The Great War Begins
Greed and vanity can turn the brightest of wise men into Luffy, and Cyrion pretended to be calm repeating the words of the god Witch, "All conditions, Great Lord, this is a promise of generosity. ”
"Mr. Cylion, I will not say this because of generosity, but everything in the mortal world does not mean much to me," Zhang Lisheng showed a blank expression on his face that was not like a mortal, threw out his biggest bait, and asked himself: "In fact, killing too heavily leads to the reduction of potential believers, which is a huge loss for me.
Do you know what I am doing but I have to choose the most violent means, the hands of the false Hell Believers to destroy the seventeenth country in the Green Leaf Continent and establish a huge 'religious state'?
I just want to use this as a 'bait' to lure the kings of the powerful countries of the mainland into my arms and never repent.
Whoever is willing to bow down to me will have the opportunity to rule over the vast land beneath our feet, not hereditary, of course, but also with the right to levy taxes, recruit troops, and appoint officials in opposition to the Holy See..."
The meaning of the words of the god Wu Li is still unfinished, but the sinister intention has been revealed, that is, to hang a delicious 'carrot' on the heads of the kings of the continent and let them compete with each other, and finally their faith will spread naturally and effortlessly.
Such a conspiracy can be seen through by fools, but the ruling power of a powerful country that occupies one-fifth of the continent is hundreds of millions of dollars a year just in taxes, not to mention all kinds of other hidden benefits, and the benefits contained in it are irresistible to any king.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that your wisdom among the gods is also unparalleled. Thinking through everything, Selion blurted out almost groaning: "As long as you can gain a foothold on the mainland, then it is probably only a matter of time before faith envelops the entire land." ”
"That's the beauty of a god being born in the age of the One God, but like you said, I have to establish myself in the Green Leaf Continent before I can talk about anything else. ”
"Your Majesty, I will convey your wishes to His Majesty Odo as quickly as possible, and I am confident that he will give you a positive response. The envoy couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and said in a slightly trembling voice.
"Mr. Cerion, what I need is action, not an empty response. Zhang Lisheng shook his head, untied the belt full of complicated patterns around his waist, and turned it into a picture of mountains and seas after unfolding. "That's about 20 million believers. My 'kingdom of God' can be transformed from a picture into a reality, and if I live in seclusion, immortality will no longer be a dream.
At such a critical time, I hope that the Sun King can show his sincerity. Dedicate his strength to me. The sooner the better. ”
"That's it. Is this the prototype of the kingdom of the gods, really, really incomparable. Incomparable magnificence..."Looking at the leather painting in front of him, which seemed to condense a 'world realm' in a scroll, Serion's mind flashed countless majestic mountains and vast rivers in an instant, and he stretched out his hands out in a faux puff.
"Mr. Selyon, although the fetish is good, it is useless for mortals to look at it more. When the envoy was about to grab the leather scroll, Zhang Lisheng re-rolled the scroll into the shape of a belt, tied it around his waist, turned his head to look at the passing scenery outside the car window and said: "The Golden Flower Terrier Manor is about to arrive."
Prince Aydo and Princess Selinya have been living with me since the city of Heinheimman fell to my Hellhenists, and you will see them in a moment. ”
"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for my gaffe just now. Selyon, who had long been known as a wise man, came to his senses from the addiction of his soul, bowed his head and was speechless for a long time, and gradually regained his composure, "I have come to see you this time on the orders of the Sun King, in addition to expressing to you the good deeds of His Majesty Odo, I also want to welcome back the two Highnesses..."
"It's just a trivial matter," Zhang Lisheng said indifferently after hearing the hidden request in the words of the Franmi envoy, "You can leave with Aidor and Serinya at any time." ”
"Thank you so much for your generosity.
The matter is urgent, the Continental Alliance is probably already in shape now, and the combat effectiveness of tens of thousands of knights supplemented by Yasen's 'Artillery Infantry Phalanx' is by no means simple, so I plan to return to France today?" As Serion asked, the carriage slowly stopped in front of several elegant wooden cottages on the west side of the manor mansion that were located in front of the dense greenery, surrounded by two groups of Wuli warriors patrolling back and forth.
"Absolutely. Zhang Lisheng smiled at the envoy of the French envoy unconcernedly, stepped out of the carriage, waved his hand and summoned a leader of the warriors of Wuli and whispered: "Send the order to the chief priest of Tu'an, and ask him to arrange the fastest, most secret and safe return route for the envoy of Fran, and send our guests away immediately." ”
"Obedience to the Great God. The native warrior replied respectfully, got up to leave, and at this time, not far away, a small dining table was leisurely set up under a huge tree with a thick tree root protruding from the ground, and it was vigorously deeply rooted in the earth, and a beautiful girl enjoying breakfast ignored the resistance of her companion who looked like dirt beside her, and waved her hand and shouted: "Your Majesty Li Sheng, why did you come to see us."
Did it finally occur to me that my brother and I were more valuable as descendants of the Sun King than the 'Golden Family' businesswoman, but unfortunately we would never allow ourselves to bow to you. ”
"Princess Selinya, I have to say that you are indeed a smart and interesting girl," Zhang Lisheng shook his head with a slight stunned smile, pointed to the carriage behind him and said: "But you guessed my intentions wrong this time, look, who I brought here." ”
As the young man spoke, the Francon envoy happened to get out of the carriage and met him, and the girl smiled in surprise, "Count Arnoldon, why are you here?"
"Earl Arnoldon," Zhang Lisheng looked at Serion who was smiling bitterly beside him in surprise, "You still have the title of earl, is Arnoldon your surname?"
In a feudal lord country, the earl, as a high-ranking lord noble, may follow the king to the front line when he is on a conquest, but is unlikely to venture out to the enemy as a secret envoy, which is not loyalty, but the system does not allow it.
"Your Majesty, my title is that of a court earl with only two estates as symbolic domains," the French envoy replied without any disguise, "I am one of the state advisers to the King of France, and I rule over all the 'black messengers', and Serion is just a pseudonym that I have made up temporarily, and Arnoldon is my real name, and I haven't had time to explain this matter to you..."
"It is good to be cautious, and there is no need to explain it. Feeling that his deception had been carried out just right, Zhang Lisheng, who knew that if he said too much, he would lose it, and interrupted Serion's words with a wave of his hand, "Okay, Mr. Secret Envoy, I won't accompany you, and a priest will naturally take you away in a while." ”。
After that, he condensed the mist, which covered the sky and the sun, and cast a powerful magic spell in front of the messenger of the flange, and disappeared.
Returning to the manor mansion, Zhang Lisheng, who learned that the Continental Alliance was likely to be on the verge of falling, immediately met with the ambitious religious knight Yigang, and after some encouragement, he agreed to Prince Shamin's loan conditions, and then boarded a special airship and rushed to the Gordon Hills on the border of Yasen and the land of his faith.
On the way, a telegram came that Serion had returned to Fran with the Sun King's son and the knight who had traveled to protect the prince, but Serinya had inexplicably stayed.
Even with the open customs of the Green Leaf Continent, which resembles the open customs of the Earth's medieval Europa, it is a very undignified experience for a princess to be captured by an enemy country, and I don't know what reason, the envoy of Frank and Prince Aido actually agreed to such an absurd act.
And Zhang Lisheng, who thought that he had everything under control, naturally did not care about such a trivial matter, but put all his spirit on preparing the army, waiting for the opportunity to defeat the continental coalition army, and made up his mind to conquer the entire continent in one battle.
The river of time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, five or six days passed, and on this day, in the huge cavern like a city hidden dozens of meters deep underground in the Gordon hills, Zhang Lisheng was staying next to more than a dozen tracks crisscrossing like a subway, looking at the huge biochemical machinery digging tunnels that were as long as magnifying thousands of times earthworms, and suddenly heard a deafening bell ringing six times in succession.
"It's finally here..."The young man was stunned for a moment, and then a hideous smile appeared on his face, looking around at the native legion leader who was accompanying him, he was silent for a moment, and the natives said coldly, "Prepare for war, wait for the landland coalition to swallow the bait and kill all the recalcitrant ones!"
"Yes, great Majesty. The Wuli warriors who were prostrate on the ground roared in unison, while the undulating slope above their heads was gentle, and on the low hills all around, a group of knights in half-armor and in a loose formation were jogging towards the ground fortifications of the Wuli people.
These warriors rode on a tall and well-bred Pell horse, but their bodies were covered with scales, and their heads were topped with a sharp, rounded xenomorph beast, and their only weapons were an unpretentious two-handed greatsword and five javelins stuck in their backs.
One of their small teams of 100 people held a swallow-tailed flag depicting a unicorn that broke through the thunder and lightning.
In the center of hundreds of square formations, a military flag more than three people high, more than six meters long, hunting in the wind of the wilderness, commanded the actions of the entire battle array by subtle shaking.
Under the crotch of a thin young man wearing only leather armor, he really rode a unicorn with an arc of electricity between his head and tail from time to time, avoiding the cold wind, and the man looked at the barbarian camp with an imitation monocular crystal telescope, calculating the pace of the whole army.
"Lord Doberman, we are the vanguard, not cannon fodder to be sent to death, and it is not a good idea to get too close to these cannibalistic dwarves. Seeing that he had not given the order to stop the march, a big man with a beard on the side suddenly said in a low voice. (To be continued......)
