267: The decision of the high priest

After the people sat down in the hall, they were silent for a while.

After a few moments, Chryses spoke: "Thank you for saving me and my daughter Lilishi, but what is the matter? Why did Eloper betray me, and what is the purpose of your coming from the Balkans to Troy?

Elrence nodded to Lilis, and the noble lady spoke: "That's right, after the Eastern Roman rebels surrounded the castle yesterday, father, you arranged for a pair of guards to protect me from the secret passage. I thought I could return to Troy smoothly, but I didn't expect to encounter another group of rebels on the way. After they had dispersed the guards, they arrested me and forced me to follow them on the road, burning and looting along the way, and humiliating me in every way they could...... It wasn't until they arrived at a small fishing village in the kingdom of Aolis that they were lucky enough to meet His Excellency Dmitry. They slaughtered all the soldiers, and when they learned that I was your father's daughter, they escorted me back to the castle......"

After these two days, Lilishi's emotions have calmed down a lot, and she can face the bad luck she has suffered. But when she said this, she couldn't help but sigh sadly, after all, the old butler had been one of the closest people in her heart, and it was really difficult to accept this betrayal.

After calming down for a while, the noble lady continued: "Fearing that there are traitors in the castle, we have decided to find the old butler first and then let him inform you personally, in order not to attract the attention of others. I've always thought of Eloper as loyal and reliable, but I didn't expect him to lie that you weren't in the castle. Let me stay in his cabin and not leave, but he himself claims to be out of the city and send someone to Troy to contact you. Luckily, Ellens saw through his plot and led me through the guards. Finally meet you. ”

Chryses nodded, he didn't expect that the old butler he had trusted for many years would be such a traitor, and he couldn't help but sigh a little: "Actually, I have long known that the accounts of the castle and the nearby manor have been a little abnormal in recent years, and I have heard that the son of Elope has been contaminated with gambling, but I have not been wary of it. Alas, it's all my fault!"

At this time, Dmitry also interjected: "Whoever makes mistakes, Your Excellency the High Priest does not have to blame himself too much. Hear you say so. This Eloper must have betrayed for the sake of your wealth, and I suppose he was in collusion with the Eastern Romans. The rebels surrounding your castle must have been summoned by him, and if you stay in the castle, even if they don't dare to harm you directly, they will likely use Miss Lilith as a hostage! No matter how arrogant the Eastern Romans were. I don't think it's going to mess around around the palace. ”

Chryses shook his head and did not speak. As you have just seen, the Eastern Romans have openly extorted money and molested women at the gates of the city, and they are simply becoming more and more lawless. If this continues, it will be difficult to ensure safety even in the palace!

Dmitry and Elrens looked at each other and continued: "We have come to Anatolia this time to deal with the Eastern Romans and assist Troy in driving the enemy out of the city. Get free again!"

When the high priest heard this, his spirits were immediately lifted. But after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "The Eastern Romans have stationed heavy troops near Troy, and their commander is the famous golden-robed magician Narciss, without strong military support, it will be difficult for us to deal with them alone. ”

Dmitry immediately said: "My father's Anatonian legion, which numbered in the tens of thousands, was simply forced to surrender, hoping in their hearts to resist the enemy. Most of the generals of the Eastern Floating Fleet also cherished the motherland, and they were only forced to obey Polybocon's orders out of desperation. If we succeed in countering them, we will be able to compete with the Eastern Roman garrison!"

Chryses pondered for a moment, and then said, "But the Anatonian Legion has been disarmed and closely monitored by the enemy, and even if they have the intention of rebelling, I am afraid it will be of no avail. ”

Hearing this, Jole couldn't help but shout impatiently: "Manly man, how can you defeat the enemy if you look forward to the future? There are risks in doing anything, if you don't let go, do you still plan to be a slave for the rest of your life!"

The high priest frowned, but could not speak.

At this time, Elrence asked, "May I ask how many reliable warriors can your Trojan Kingdom send at present?"

Chryses thought for a moment and replied, "About five thousand men, and if you have time, you can call up three times as many troops...... However, with this force, it was certainly impossible to confront the Eastern Romans. ”

Elrens smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, we have already contacted the prince of the Mermaid Kingdom of the Sea of Qin, Purian, who has led thousands of elite Tiger Shark Knights to lurk outside the port of Nicaea City, and will immediately send troops to attack when the time comes." The city of Nicaea was the old capital of the Eastern Romans and their most important base on the continent of Anatonia, but now it was empty of garrisons, and when Narsis learned that the city of Nicaea had been attacked, he would definitely send a large army to the rescue. We took the opportunity to instigate the revolt of the generals of the Anatonian Legion and the Eastern Floating Fleet, and at the same time led the Trojan army to storm the opponent's military camp, and we can defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop!"

After hearing this, the high priest fell into deep thought, this plan sounds quite reasonable, but the war situation is changing rapidly, and if something goes wrong, Troy may face the disaster of destroying the country! But the other party is also right, if you don't seize this opportunity, then you can only face the fate of being a slave forever, and this is absolutely unacceptable!

Finally, Chryses sighed deeply, stood up and said, "I understand, I will now go into the palace to discuss this matter with the king, His Majesty Priam has long been extremely dissatisfied with the barbarism of the Eastern Romans, and should agree to this." Although the Anatonian Legion is closely watched by the enemy, we also have a covert way to get in touch with the generals. Lilith, you are in charge of settling your distinguished guests, and you will rest in my apartment, and soon I will bring back the good news. ”

When the high priest had finished speaking, he strode out without looking back
