Wizard From Afar - Chapter 1173

At sunset, the truth finally came out.

An evil god called the “black cross” captured and controlled the imperial capital Golovin while the Empire was doing its best to deal with the Azores. It tore open the boundary of hell and poured evil forces into the world in an attempt to destroy the saxophone empire in this way.

And even further, destroy the world.

As for why its goal is the imperial capital Golovin… Of course, because this is the capital of the Empire and the holy land of the Holy Cross. As a symbol of the Holy Cross, Golovin Cathedral must be a thorn in the eye and flesh of evil gods. Naturally, it must be destroyed first.

In addition, Golovin, as the hub of the Empire, is a traffic artery connecting the north and the south. If you occupy it, you can attack any part of the Empire at will – as for the rest, it is almost the same as the reason for the Azores to attack the imperial capital.

In short, whether for the glory of the Empire or the survival of the world, we must move south as soon as possible, eliminate evil gods and recapture the imperial capital… This is basically the consensus of everyone.

However, great disputes broke out at the Legion meeting about how the imperial capital should be recovered and when to March.

However, this statement is not accurate, because the situation is basically that Lord Baron Turin, Duke of Byrne, is determined to go his own way, and the rest of the people are constantly refuting his ideas.

As the greatest hero in the battle of eboden, Duke Byrne insisted on the speed of war, and the Empire must immediately do its best to go south; Arrive at the imperial capital within ten days, complete the siege within ten days, and capture the city within ten days – end the war before the Midsummer Festival.

The crazy plan deserved no support from anyone.

His majesty Brandon, who has always been crazy, also stood on the opposite side of Duke Byrne. The reason is simple: the strength of the Empire was greatly damaged in the battle of eboden, and the elite were almost dead and wounded. Most of the remaining reserves and recruits had not fought much, hoping that they would fight against evil gods and evil gods

Not only that, the camps of hundreds of thousands of legions spread over almost half of the Duke of eboden; It is impossible to mobilize such a huge army without making plans and sufficient preparations in advance; Just changing the current plan will take a lot of time, manpower and material resources.

Even the Bayerns, led by the Countess of red blood castle, took a clear stand against their Duke – even with the size of the Principality of Bayern, they also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Azores elves.

More than half of the count was killed, nearly two-thirds of the elite Knight Legion were killed, and less than 100 survivors of the demon hunter Legion on on the wing of the sky… Now Byrne is not only unable to fight again, but has reached the point of no fighting heart.

The war lasted too long, too long, and too many robes died; When everyone thought they had defeated the last strong enemy and finally ushered in peace, they suddenly told them that the battle was not over, or even just started

This collapsing truth, even strong as the Byrne knights, was completely unacceptable for a time.

The Duke of Byrne, who experienced “betrayal” for the first time, still went to the imperial capital “on his own.

The atmosphere of uneasiness and confusion began to spread in the barracks.

From the Archduke count to the soldiers at the bottom, everyone vaguely felt that a history that had happened might be “staged” again.

……………………

“How is that possible?!”

Looking at Peter, whose expression was tense and his worries were almost written on his face, Edward waved his hands dismissively: “Loren Turin is not the black Duke, and his majesty Brandon is not the Dragon Queen. Their relationship is completely different from those two. What do you think?”

“But you can’t deny that the situation is very similar, can’t you?” Peter stared at the night watchman leader and didn’t give up his idea at all:

“They are the same two people who fought side by side and once trusted each other; they are also emergencies, they are completely unable to understand each other’s ideas, and one of them is determined to go his own way…”

“No matter how you look at it, it’s the same as what happened in the tenth generation!”

The leader of the night watchman rolled his eyes and didn’t want to pay attention at all.

“The tragedy of the past can’t be repeated again, Edward. It can’t go on like this.” with his hands on the table, Peter looked anxiously at Edward who didn’t take it seriously:

“At present, only Lord Loren Turin and his majesty Brandon can save the Empire and even the world – only if they work together and fight side by side, can the Empire… Win a glimmer of hope, can’t they?!”

The more Peter FASA said it, the more excited he was, with unspeakable fear in his eyes.

When ekhat II told him all the secrets before his death, he made it clear that he was not allowed to tell anyone, and that he would guard all these things until he died, or decided not to keep them secret.

It is for this reason that he is so frightened at this moment… He is afraid that the real spearhead of the discord between the two people is himself. He is afraid that he who originally wanted to save everything has become the culprit of the destruction of the world.

What if I didn’t make up my own mind at that time? What if I could bear to wait until Loren Turin and Brandon explained everything before telling them these secrets? If… If you haven’t spoken at all, will things become different

“I repeat, now is not the tenth generation. The relationship between Loren and his majesty Brandon is by no means the relationship between the black Duke and the Dragon Queen!”

What make blind and disorderly conjectures Edward interrupt Peter Farshal as like as two peas in the mind: “whatever happens next, it will never be a repetition of the history — at least, it will never be the same!”

“What’s more, even if you want to persuade, don’t you think there are too many people more suitable than the two of us? Charlotte Turin, Dalton kand, Yuli vilz, and the Archduke and earls, aren’t they the best ones to stand up and persuade these two people?”

“But this time even Countess Charlotte took a clear stand against Loren!”

“Yes, in that case, what’s the point for us to stand up?”

Edward asked, staring at Peter’s face with wide eyes.

The speechless Peter FASA was silent for a moment and took a deep breath: “so… Edward, in your opinion, what is meaningful?”

“The most meaningful thing for us right now is that you and Vera run away as soon as possible.”

Although he knew he was talking nonsense, Edward couldn’t help but say, “at present, the biggest thing in the camp is the dispute between Loren Turin and his majesty Brandon. Everyone’s attention is on it; at this time, one or two night watchmen disappeared and no one will notice.”

“Of course… Even if I repeat this sentence a thousand times, you won’t listen.”

Looking at Peter’s face, which had not changed at all, Edward secretly sighed that the other party had wasted such a good opportunity: “if you really want to do something more, go to Charlotte and Dalton kand.”

“Charlotte?”

Peter was stunned when he heard the name: “however, the Countess of red blood castle and Bain have not clearly opposed…”

“So I say that today is completely different from the tenth generation a hundred years ago.” Edward interrupted:

“Seriously think about it, how could the Byrne people who experienced the bitter fruits of the black Duke era betray their Duke again – let’s say, even if Loren said he was going to hell now, the remaining tens of thousands of Byrne people outside would rush up and die with their Duke!”

“Your Majesty Brandon… The ‘black cross’ occupied the imperial capital, Golovin, the headquarters of the royal family of the sky Palace – the imperial capital was occupied by evil gods. As the emperor, his majesty Brandon could still keep calm. On the contrary, Duke Byrne was the first to sit still. Didn’t you notice that there was such a’ trace ‘of abnormality?”

Edward, with a stiff expression, finally breathed a long sigh of relief after a “hint” of “earnest words”.

He was really worried that this too simple friend would be impulsive and act foolishly.

Peter FASA suddenly realized: “so… The discord between the two is actually part of the plan, pretended?”

“Not exactly, but you can understand that,” Edward said with a stiff expression.

It’s not so much a plan as a compromise to reality in Edward’s eyes.

Whether willing or not to admit it, the Legion that has just ended the Azores elf war has no preparation and ability to continue marching and fighting at all; It is impossible for them to go south immediately and recapture the imperial capital from the black cross.

Even if you want to immediately gather 10000 or 20000 elite to go south in the name of the Empire, it is also completely impossible… First of all, it is a problem who to send, and second, it is a big trouble for these mobilized elite to listen to who.

If this “elite” is dominated by Byrne legion, the saxorians will certainly not agree; If you let the Arles serve as the main force, you should worry more about whether these “bandit forces” will have the problem of not contributing to their work.

And whether it will further weaken the Empire’s control over its legions, transfer all the elite, and who will command them?

Brandon never thought he was an excellent battlefield commander. The rest of the Archduke had a hard time just maintaining the morale and order of the principality’s legion, and Loren Turin

“Loren Turin, that guy… He refused his majesty Brandon’s request and refused to lead the army.” Edward whispered, “he told his majesty a story.”

“Story?”

“This is… A few years ago, when the Duke of Byrne was a little wizard consultant of the Lord count, he once ventured to take a group of elves from the ancient wood forest to prevent the invasion of an ogre led by an evil god.”

The leader of the night watchman breathed out and said quietly, “the process is very complicated, but the thing is very simple – they killed all the way to the nest of the evil god, Loren Turin dealt with the evil god, and the elves blocked the ogre for him outside.”

“They won, but the more than 100 war dancers in the ancient wood forest are almost dead… This is the story of Loren Turin.”

“Oh, by the way, the Baroness lottel… Or the former baroness, is one of the more than 100 ancient wood forest war dancers, the only survivor.” Edward raised his eyes and looked at Peter:

“Do you know why he told this story?”

Peter shook his head and waited blankly for the answer.

“Very simply, if he still leads the army this time, the fate of these people will be the same as those ancient wood forest war dancers at the beginning – Loren Turin. He may be the person who knows the key of the black cross in the world. In other words, every action he takes will be the most fierce counterattack by the enemy!”

“Even if there are 100000 troops, there must be few who can survive in the end.”

“At least they deserve to die!”

Peter FASA murmured.

“But Loren didn’t think so!” Edward’s expression became gloomy:

“I… don’t think so – if there is any way to reduce casualties, if it is possible not to let more unlucky people fight a war they don’t understand, against an enemy they don’t understand and can’t understand; even if the possibility is small, it is worth trying.”

“They’ll understand,” Peter retorted.

“Will you? Do you think those soldiers who can’t even write can really understand the meaning of the black cross to the world?” Edward asked, “realistically, how many wizards and knights do you think can really understand what a heavy price will be paid if you lose this battle?”

“Peter, people… Can die once; even if they are destined to die, their death is unclear, at least… Let their death be as valuable as those elves in the ancient wood forest!”

Edward paused and continued: “your majesty and Loren Turin have a comprehensive plan for the black cross serliol. There is no need for you and me to worry about anything. It’s meaningless.”

“As for whether Loren Turin, who fought alone, will repeat the mistakes of the black Duke in those days, you don’t have to worry – first, he won’t go alone; second, after his majesty has reorganized the Legion, he will still lead an elite army south to join the battle and help him when necessary.”

“I see…”

Looking at Edward’s helpless expression, Peter finally nodded reassuringly.

What he was most worried about… Turned into the situation of the black Duke and the Dragon Queen in the past, but it didn’t happen – think about it. Although the situation is very similar, Loren and Brandon are much calmer and more rational than their predecessors.

Maybe it’s really like Brandon said that the era of heroes and knights has come to an end.

“By the way, where’s Vera? Why isn’t she with you?”

Finally persuaded Peter’s night watchman leader, and then remembered to ask.

“No!” Peter FASA, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly looked at Edward with a frightened face:

“Vera, she… She thought you wanted her to hide again, so she went after the oath knight who went to the imperial capital!”

“What?!”
