"Chief Carlomon, are you questioning the justice of the Papal Chamber?"

A deep voice rang out behind Carlomon, who turned around and walked up from behind him a man. Under the age of thirty, under the short flaxen hair is an ordinary face. But the man's eyes were clear, as if there were no doubts in his heart. He wears a black double-breasted robe with gold swastika on both sides. Behind him, the same scarlet cloak fluttered, and behind the cloak was a cross almost as tall as the others.

The cross is silver-white, with graceful curves flying around it, and is embellished with various precious colors of blue and red, which is extremely gorgeous.

"Habeth, you little devil, when Lao Tzu was a soldier, you were still wearing open pants, don't come to me to preach. "Carromon doesn't have a good airway.

Habeth, the 7th commander of the Knights of the Holy Seal, is known as a sword hero, but he is a sincere Catholic. Born into the nobility of the city of Rome, he was baptized by the cardinal himself on the day of his birth. At the age of five, he was sent to the initiation class by his father, graduated as the first in the Youth League at the age of 13, became a knight at the age of 15, and became the head of the 7th branch at the age of 23.

Hearing Carromon say this, Habeth was unmoved, and gently closed the canon in his palm and said, "I'm not preaching, I'm just seeing the doubts in your heart." ”

Caromon snorted, looking disapproving.

"Lao Tzu didn't suspect anything in the Pope's Chamber, but seeing a big pirate walking with us, Lao Tzu was just as unhappy as Carlomon!" A rough voice sounded behind the two of them, and a tall shadow engulfed both of them.

Caromon turned, raised his head and said to the figure, "you, Mamiro, I can't shut your broken throat, every time I hear your loud voice, I get a headache." ”

He is nearly two meters tall and wears a heavy armor thickness. The armor that almost enveloped the whole person made the commander of the eighth regiment look like a medieval hoplite, the dark armor was depicted with blood-colored curves and patterns, the terrifying spikes that emerged from the shoulder armor and knee parts were reminiscent of bleeding and screaming, exuding a terrifying aura of the knight commander, and the only thing that could remind people of the papal hall was probably the symbolic cloak behind him.

Mamiro hahadaxiao, his voice as sharp and huge as the rubbing of gold and stone, made Carlomon's temples jump all the time, and Habeth sighed and lowered his head. Mamilo laughed, "Don't mind, old man. Don't you think we should have a good drink together?"

"Usually your glass is defined exactly the same thing as what I think is a wine barrel, so do you think I'm going to store something like that on my ship? Then again, I don't see you being so active in sweeping pirates on weekdays, so why did you take the initiative to fight this time. Carlomont said.

Habean opened his eyes and said, "Because the place I'm going to this time is the Sea House, I heard that there is a guy called a weapon master among the four pirates." As a swordsman, I'm very interested in him. ”

"Hook?" said Caromon, a frown.

Habbes was silent.

Mamilo patted his chest and said, "I'm going to see an old friend, and I'm going to ask him how long he will be a pirate." ”

As he spoke, he sat on the deck, but Mamiro's own weight and the heavy armor on his body, to say the least, weighed nearly a ton, which was like a big piece of iron. Sitting on deck, Carromon could almost hear the moaning of her own ship. Looking at Mamilo, who fell silent, Caromon shook his head and said, "You still have to die of this heart, if he is willing to change his mind, he will not stay on that broken island and sell wine forever." ”

"You don't have to worry about me. Mamilo raised his head and said in a deep voice.

Habeth looked at the two men, completely unaware of who they were discussing. A young generation like him had not experienced the darkest period of the Papal Chamber. Carromon and Mamilo were already one of the few veterans, so they knew what happened in those turbulent years.

At that time, Mamiro was not yet the commander of the 8th regiment, but the commander of the 10th regiment adjutant. Although he knew the experience of his regiment commander at that time, he was still haunted by the regiment's degeneration into a pirate, and secretly sneaked into the Shanghai House three times. The result is unknown, judging from the fact that Mamiro returned empty-handed three times, the persuasion of the regiment commander ended in vain.

This time, Zoro gave the order to attack the Sea House, and for Mamiro, it was probably an opportunity for Zuihou to persuade the commander of the former 10th regiment. It's just that how it ends, Carromon seems to have been yujian, and she can only sigh in her heart.

The figures of the three captains were caught in a pair of eyes, and Carromon, who was standing at the bow of the ship, was the first to notice, and looked back with contempt. Deborah laughed dryly, left the fence on the side of the ship, walked to the bow, and sat down on the deck. The Iron Scale is still the Iron Scale, but the ship is no longer busy with the people they used to know, but with the strict Knights.

Even behind him, several paladin-type power armors were being overhauled, all of which seemed to be quite out of place with a corsair.

Deborah looked up a little lonely and looked at the Iron Scale banner that was still being carved on the mast.

Once upon a time, when this banner appeared, both the Knights of the Holy Seal and other pirates had to wait for it, or even flee. At that time, it was so majestic to crisscross the sea, but now it is branded as a lackey of the Papal Hall. Although Deborah had already arrived on this day when he agreed to become Sauron, when it actually came, he regretted it a little.

Zoro had clearly told him that as long as he led the army of the three sub-regiments of the Knights to exterminate the pirates and destroy the Sea House, he would arrange an errand for him in the Knights. At the very least, he was also the lieutenant of the regimental commander, and after that, Deborah could clear his name as a pirate and live a noble life from then on. This was what Deborah had hoped for, but now, he had asked himself more than once.

Is this really the life you want?

However, no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't change the fact that it was coming. He once thought he was in control of the trend of the times, but now, he suddenly realized that he was just one of the people who was driven by the trend.

A soft sigh from the captain rang out from the Iron Scale.

Four large ships carry people with their own hearts on the Devil's Passage, and soon they will arrive at Roaring Bay. It has quietly become a turning point in the tide of the times, but now everyone on the Western Continent does not know it.

The storm of the great era on the Western Continent is coming, and on the other side of the Endless Sea, the Central Continent is already in full swing. The war between the two largest groups on the continent, the Dark Council and Valhalla, has gradually dragged all the living beings on the entire continent into the flames of war.

After the first battles began, the flames of war lay in the central part of the continent.

At the beginning of the war, the army of the House of Augustus, one of the giants of the Dark Council, led by the eldest son of the family, Hart, marched west to the Yulian Mountains, where Valhalla is located. Soon, Valhalla sent two mixed armies of the Hammer of Doom and the Golden Battle Axe to meet the attack, led by Thor.

So the central wilderness became the stage and battlefield for these two young men of their respective camps, but equally talented.

During this war, the names of Hart and Thor quickly spread throughout the continent. Just as the war that swept across the continent decades ago gave rise to many legendary names that are still known today. Today's war has also quickly become the focus of life on the mainland, and it is inevitable that some names will often appear in rumors.

Among these people, the most exposed are of course Hart and Saul.

They are both charismatic young generals, but the focus of the two is different. Hart is better at arranging troops and planning to take them later. His strategy is not amazing, but it is magnificent, interlocking, and he is the style of a dignified general. And Thor is obviously slightly deficient in this regard, but he is better in personal bravery. Thor often leads the way, and his Mjolnir is a beacon on the battlefield, a nightmare for enemies, and a banner for allies.

Although Thor is not like Hart, who can have a series of strategies and layouts in place before a battle even starts, he can quickly formulate flexible Jihua for the situation on the front line, thus reversing the situation that Hart saw as a defeat several times.

In this way, the two young generals showed their strengths in the central wasteland, and pushed the war to a climax step by step.

In the beginning, it was due to the lack of supplies and soldiers. Hart has taken a largely steady approach, and he's always going to fight against it. After capturing the stronghold, he tried his best to consolidate it and make it a solid backing for himself. After the Augustus family's war materials were delivered to the front line through Phoenix, Hart began to change his style, using his superiority in numbers, materials, and war machines to attack the enemy army head-on.

If Saul could still break up Hart's offensive through flexible targeted strategies before, now in the face of the opponent's overwhelming advantage, he can only adopt a tight joint defense strategy. But even so, Thor's army was forced to retreat. More than a month later, Thor withdrew almost a hundred kilometers!

But in Jelugori, a ruined city more than 100 kilometers from the front line before, Valhalla fought a beautiful counterattack.

After Saul's army retreated into the city of Jerugor, Hart pressed in. This is his style of command, using iron walls to oppress opponents, even to the point of despair or even collapse. But this time it was a little different, after the army of the House of Augustus entered the city of Jerugo, they cut off the retreat of the Valhalla army outflanked from the periphery, and the victory spear led by the goddess of war, Valsri. Then the Dark Knife Tip also appeared, and this assassin force killed countless commanders above the captain level in just one hour, paralyzing Hart's command system for a while.

Later, Augustus' army counterattacked with all its might, but the Shield of Dawn stopped it.

At this point, all five legions of Valhalla were assembled, and at least two-thirds of Augustus's men were eaten in the city of Jerugo, which was Hart's worst defeat since the beginning of the war.

After hearing that the five legions of Valhalla had arrived, the Dark Council also reacted quickly. First, ordinary servants were sent in waves by truck, and then the legion of the Ables composed of Scarlet Knights above the rank of captain also left for the front. With the input of these new forces, it is like throwing a large amount of fuel into the fire of this war, and it immediately makes this war appear to be white-hot.

It's just that on the side of the Dark Council, since the Augustus family and the Scarlet Knight belong to two completely separate systems, Hart does not have the right to command the actions of the Blood Knight. This made many of his strategies unusable, but on Valhalla's side, the five legions were in unison, and they were extremely close together. Led by Thor, Valhalla advanced the battle line by hundreds of kilometers in half a month, making the war a stalemate.

All the way-

A continuous dull sound of artillery rang out, it was the sound of artillery tank swarm fire. Then a sharp whistling rang out in the air, and dozens of flame tails entangled and rushed through the air, each of which represented an infantry missile. Dozens of missiles flew towards the enemy's camp, but when they fell, a large milky white light curtain rose to stop the missiles. Explosions and flames followed, and fireballs rose above the enemy formation, but they did not damage the milky white light curtain.

The blast wave of the explosion brought dust and smoke billowing back, and the frantic wind whistled over the roof of a building, causing Hart to blink slightly.

The eldest son of the House of Augustus sat on the rooftop, next to an elaborate round wine table with a bottle of red wine and a tall bosom.

The shockwave passed past these things, but the burgundy liquid in the goblet did not make a ripple.

Hart raised his glass with a smile and greeted the milky wall of light in the distance, "To you, Shield of Dawn." ”

Rhine next to him frowned, he couldn't find the slightest respect for the Shield of Dawn, even if it was only a point. Valhalla's five legions have their own characteristics, and the Shield of Dawn is made up of people with light abilities. They excel at defense, healing, and spiritual encouragement for allies. It's no exaggeration to say that even a coward's Dawn Shield can turn him into a warrior who is not afraid to die.

Therefore, although this legion is not known for its combat effectiveness, it is a headache.

"Brother, don't be sad, come and have a glass of wine with me?" Putting down the glass, Hart seemed to notice the expression on Rhine's face and smiled faintly.

Rhine walked over and said, "I'm not as idle as you are. Big brother, how can you go on like this? Although the council sent troops, the servants and blood horsemen did not obey our orders at all. Isn't it the same as having it or not?"

"It's normal, after all, this is the war of the Parliament, not our Augustus. We've been a bit of a showman these past few months. So you didn't see that I haven't had many of my own soldiers on the battlefield lately, so I'll leave it to the council's army. ”

"Although I am also from the Scarlet Knights, I am not destroying my own prestige, but with the current Blood Cavalry Army, it is not enough to take Valhalla. They didn't even send the top ten knights, so what was the use of those captain-level knights. Ryan said.

Hart laughed, "Aren't the Ninth Horsemen here? ”

"Don't make fun of me, big brother. Everyone knows that I am not good at commanding such a large army, and if I were to be in command, I would just put it under the name of my eldest brother. Rhine said irresponsibly.

Hart shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the council won't want to lose this war." Soon there will be new orders coming down. ”

"What kind of order will it be?"

"There are only two kinds of them. The first is to send high-level blood cavalry to command, and the second is to hand over the command to me. If it's the former, then we just have a break for a while, and the soldiers are tired from the continuous fighting for the past few months. It would be even better if it was the latter, and with the new force of the Blood Riders, I would be able to surprise Thor. So my dear brother, whatever the order is, it won't make much difference to us. Hart stood up and patted his brother on the shoulder.

At this time, a soldier ran out of the staircase on the rooftop: "Report!"

Hart was surprised: "You won't order to come down so soon, will you?"

The soldier replied, "Two young masters, we have just received a notification. The First Knight of the Blood Horse, Major General Shuya Blue Lost, and her guard, Glacier, will arrive in Phoenix this evening!"

Rin and Hart couldn't help but look at each other, especially Rhein, he grabbed his head and said, "Didn't that troublesome woman from Xiuya go to sweep the black land in the west? ”

This time, even Hart showed contemplation, and he smiled: "Could it be that the speaker can't wait, but he didn't expect that his daughter was transferred directly." And he said, "Rhine, go back to Phoenix." See what our Miss Xiuya has to say. ”

"Got it, big brother. Rhine sighed and left the rooftop.

Thuaya Blue Loster is a name that is almost universally known in the Dark Council. Possessing outstanding talents, he was born with third-order abilities. At the age of 15, he joined the Scarlet Knight with the strength of the seventh order. Ten years later, with the name of the first knight of the ninth-order Liliang, the dark blue roar is not only a respectful title for her from the outside world, but also a point out of the eldest lady's fiery temper from the side.

Because of her outstanding talent, she was accepted as a righteous daughter by Speaker Ogellock, and with this status, Xiuya was even more unscrupulous in the parliament. Even Hart's father, Leo, wanted to give her three points, and two years ago, Xiuya took the initiative to lead her own guard, Binghe, to the black lands to the west to sweep away the aliens. After she joined, in just two years, the black earth that could not be entered opened a gap for her.

As a result, the army of the Dark Council has eaten up a territory of hundreds of kilometers in a radius, which makes Xiuya's evaluation in the Council even more prosperous.

Two years ago, she was already a ninth-order powerhouse, and for two years she had been fighting in the black earth like hell, and even Hart couldn't guess the strength of this woman now!
