Outside the tent, people come and go. Joshua heard the neighing of the horses, Ian complained about his hard back, and Barton kept his rounds around. Joshua wondered if he would win the war and he would be able to pass all the tests. In the world where the gods created zào, a qiē is so challenging, but he misses his real-world companions very much. Everyone here is respectful because he is the king, there is no Henar who quarrels with him, and there is no Uncle Geraint, the "commoner" who can accompany him on the hunt.

He fumbled with his clothes and got up to go to breakfast. It is said that there are still important issues to be discussed today. At present, the process of the war is under the control of Byron and Geraint, and the news of the danger of the surprise attack of the Aika family's army on the Star City has reached the south. The main force of the Knights of Riverrun had to abandon their defenses to the south and march north to rescue. Roger and Haig's troops marched north to break through the city of Dusk, leading the front line to the central region.

When I went out, I saw the cook cooking oatmeal in a pot, and some archers were adjusting their bows and arrows. "Your Majesty," Byron beckoned when he saw Joshua coming, "come quickly, eat some bread and sausages first, and the oatmeal will be ready in no time." ”

"I haven't had such a rich breakfast in a long time. Didn't you say there was another important meeting today?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. Byron was calm, and Geraint, beside him, was smiling, but no one would notice it unless he looked closely. "Come over first, we'll talk while we eat. ”

"Hello everyone, the oatmeal is also cooked," the chef announced. "I'll give it to everyone!"

"Okay, thank you very much. ”

After a while, the rice bowl with oatmeal appeared in front of everyone, and Joshua breathed softly until it cooled. Frem and his two sons, as well as Tim and Lord Eliade, the god of anemos, were also present. From the Star City, they traveled south, far from towns and castles, and occasionally encountered hordes of armed men advancing in smoke billowing on the eastern horizon. Before the main force of the Knights arrived, there were too few people who threatened them, and many who fell prey to them. In this way, they made it all the way to the northwest outside the floating city.

This meeting was not Byron's intention. It was Geraint who came up with another bold idea. "Now the main forces of the White Dragon Knights and the Red Dragon Knights have withdrawn outside the floating city. The good news is that Mistress Roger and Mistress Haig are heading north, and the time for us to meet is not far off. The bad news is that the strongest combat force in the entire Lance Kingdom is outside the Floating City. If you don't get it right, the outskirts of Floating City will soon become a meat grinder. ”

The crowd looked at Geraint. "The reason why the White Dragon and the Red Dragon Knights are at a stalemate with us is nothing more than for the glory of their Five Dragon Knights. And Parsa even deceived the people, saying that the king has been accused by us, and his purpose is to take the king of the country and destroy the rebels. ”

"Rebels?" Eliad smiled.

"We can't afford to be in a stalemate with the enemy forever. Because this war does not have to be fought, except for the Black Dragon Knights, the other two major knights can win over our side. ”

What Gerante said made sense to everyone. "Now that we've revealed that Parsa used dark magic to kill the Holy King, it's best to have some more strong evidence. ”

Eliad nodded, "You're right. After all, many people in the Five Dragon Knights don't know what dark magic is. If Parsa denies it, we have no evidence, even if it is the black gas in the magic crystal, he can insist that we fabricate it. ”

So for the sake of that conceited courage, Bai Ao and Schroeder are letting Parsa lead the way. Geraint said. "If we put the most direct evidence in front of them. So as long as they really want to maintain the glory of their Knights, they will inevitably stand on the side of His Majesty the King again. ”

"Do you want to go into the Floating City again?" Eliad said, "but Parsa may have removed the barrier he had placed in the garden, what evidence can you find?"

Joshua was able to get a general idea of the main purpose of the meeting. He knew that he might be able to infiltrate Floating City again with Geraint and Byron, and he knew that the trip would be even more dangerous. Because it was now a stalemate in the war, the guards of Floating City must have been several times stricter than when they investigated the body of the Holy King. "Lord Anemo," Geraint continued, "Parsa must have his own stronghold for studying dark magic, right?"

"And it must be near the palace," Eliad said, closing his eyes and thinking for a moment. "Manipulating enchantments is a great drain on mages if they are too far away, and it's a powerful dark magic like 'Dark Winding'. ”

Fate pointed to Floating City again and again, and Joshua ate oatmeal porridge with bread, thinking as he ate, at this moment, what he thought most was that this sneak into Floating City must be the last test for him. Parsa's conspiracy was revealed, the Knights turned against each other, and they won the final victory.

"Ruona's crystals might help, though. Eliad stirred up his cereal porridge and blurted out. "The forces of darkness attract each other, and this is the same as the light coming together. Now that the magic crystal captures the remnants of dark magic, ......"

Then the situation would be much simpler, just as the fragments of the Holy Sword on my body could resonate with the source of the Holy Light and the fighting energy within me? Joshua was overjoyed, not expecting the evil forces that were disgusting and terrifying to resonate as well.

Joshua had finished his cereal, put his bowl aside, and continued to listen to the meeting. "Use the remnants of magic inside to find Parsa's secret research room. Eliad began to describe his plan, "to find evidence of Parsa's research into dark magic, especially the magic books that bear his fingerprints and the blood of children used to manipulate the enchantment, and finally to disseminate a real image of Qiē through the Guò Magic Crystal." ”

Clearly, Eliad wanted to use his most powerful goggle magic to restore history. It was the only non-combat spell in the highest-tier class of his wind magic. It is said that he can trace the past images in a certain space based on the caster's own mana.

"Lord Anemo," Byron said, "as the former Chief Archmage of the Kingdom of Reims, I believe the historical picture you have shown you is still very convincing. This is also the fastest attempt to resolve the current stalemate of the war situation. ”

"But we still have to figure out our escape routes. Eliad added. "Parsa is a shrewd fellow, his lab must be hidden in a corner that is unknown and he can quickly grasp what is going on inside. ”

"When we enter the palace, we can continue to walk through the secret passage of the Holy Light Temple. Byron replied, "It's just that after leaving the Great Hall of Light, I don't know how this black gas can help us trace his source." After all, when the remnants of magic were collected in the Prime Minister's Tower, it didn't resonate significantly. Byron took out the crystal again, taking a closer look at the remnants of the magic inside.

The black gas swirled within the crystal, but it seemed to be regular. Eliad also took a closer look. "Hey, look!" he said, pointing to one end, "the place where the black gas is most dense is always pointing to the east, no matter how you turn it. That's the direction of Floating City, and if you're cursed by the darkness, you'll die even if you're thousands of miles away. ”

"Alright, shall we leave tonight?" asked Geraint eagerly.

Thousands of campfires filled the air, creating a pale mist. The neatly arranged horses stretched for several leagues. A long pole carrying the flag stands above the camp. There were also huge siege engines, trebuchets, ballistas, and battering rams that were silently placed on the grass, and the rams were taller than a cavalry on wheels alone. In the bright sun, countless spear tips shimmered with silver, and the knights' tents were like silky mushrooms, scattered all around.

Joshua looked at the knights in armor and swords in the camp, and knew that they had just returned from fighting on the front lines. Maybe tonight they will decide the future of the whole war. Joshua was also curious as to how the exit from the last floor of the Temple of Flames would open for him once they won the war and he would return to the king's position.
