Chapter 501: The Envoy Visits

The cold wind whizzed past his face, and Rody pulled his leather jacket tightly, curled up on the saddle of the Kodak.

Although the temperature has risen a lot with the arrival of spring, anyone who flies in the air for several days will be exhausted by the high-altitude cold wind.

After the battle six days ago, Roddy immediately sent people to control the remaining mines that were still occupied to obtain supplies, and then flew to the churches and monasteries in all the nearby territories of the "Rosie Cross" for help.

To Roddy's relief, in the territory of Efta, the words of the "royal family" are far less credible than the words of the Luciferon family or the local lords, and the name "Roddy" itself is already It was recognized by the "Rose Cross" high-level, so the support troops set off almost directly the next day, and arrived at Pakaro City within four / pig / pig / island / novel www.huuo.

The next moment they were rescued, Soderol and Akasha rode horses to chase Senna with the undead troops that did not need to be transported. After nightfall, they used the large-scale "hypnosis" of the high elf mages to kill the guardian mages, and The real "traitor" who was at large was killed by Soderol himself.

Immediately afterwards, under the powerful maneuverability of the flying mount, Rody hung Senna's head in the center of the Milno family's territory, and then flew away, as if he had never been here before.

He didn't assassinate Earl Mirno along the way, and he didn't bother the royal family. He just stepped on the duck and left with a blank face as if he had sent a "special express delivery"—because it wasn't because he lost his mind after being calculated by the royal family His revenge was the first step in his entire plan.

"So... engaging in politics is really something you can't help yourself."

Looking at the gradually clear Pacaro City in his vision, Rody sighed in a low voice, then tilted his body, allowing the Kodak to hover and land into the city.

At this time, Pakaro City has re-entered the state of martial law throughout the city. There are three or four groups of people outside the city wall. It is obvious that nearly a thousand fortress soldiers who came after receiving the notice from Senna-the ones who led them were not nobles, but Several retainers of the original city lord. At this time, they were obviously not very well informed, and they couldn't figure out why the one standing on the city wall was not "Viscount Senna".

Of course, they were more curious about who the fat man hanged on the city gate was.

And it didn't take long before these questions were answered—they didn't expect that Sally, the Duke of Efta who was listed as a "traitor" would appear on the city wall!

"...Senna and Anru colluded with the orc army and framed the nobles of Efta through hunting. This is an unforgivable crime and has been sentenced to death!"

"The surviving lords are all listed here, and they can testify to my words..."

After a speech was read,

Regardless of the facts, the lords who appeared on the city wall one by one were enough to make these soldiers "retire knowingly"-they weren't the dead soldiers of the Mirnor family, so they ran up and desperately shouting "kill the traitors"?

So after Sally made her statement, the soldiers below all expressed their willingness to obey the orders of the "big lord", and chose to return by the same route one by one, without mentioning "entering the city". As for the "traitors" or something, no one said anything.

Sally, who was wearing a priest's robe, left the city wall with a group of lords after she finished her speech. After experiencing the changes, these nobles had no choice but to stand on the same front as her. No matter how much they had been against the "Luciferon" family in the past, at least from now on, they have no way out. .

"The matter of Pacaro City has come to an end here, and the next thing is up to you."

Sally said these words calmly, and then left without further words, escorted by the guards. The rest of the lords looked at each other with stern faces, and walked in different directions...

They have a lot of things to do, some are preparing to write letters, some are returning to the territory to deploy defenses immediately, and most of them are to establish the "United Front" - in fact, many nobles are still complaining about Roddy's recklessness, blaming him for not Just like this, they killed Senna and broke face with the royal family... But at this time they had no choice, and Roddy's quick-cutting behavior had made them realize that this was not something that could be solved by just trying to make excuses.

The former "Karen Kingdom" probably disappeared from this day.

The city of Pakaro, which was originally inconspicuous in Efta, was at the center of all the whirlpools in the early spring of 590, involving almost all high-level officials in the country... and the most reluctant among them was probably the royal family who was caught off guard.

"Mirno, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation!"

Charles II's questioning voice was not loud, but the coldness in his words made Earl Mirno shudder.

He knelt down on one knee in front of the Karen monarch, his body trembling, but he didn't know how to answer after muttering for a long time...

In fact, if anyone was in his position, I'm afraid he wouldn't know what to say.

According to the original plan, once Sally died, the whole of Efta would be in chaos, and the royal family would take advantage of it to take control of the entire territory with ease.

But now? Not to mention that her son was attacked and beheaded for public display, Sally, who was supposed to be dead, made a statement alive and kicking, and even made Everta stand directly on the opposite side of the royal family!

Mirno suspected that she was suffering from some kind of madness—although Efta's territory was quite large, none of them could reach the top level in the kingdom in terms of economy, military, population and other factors. , coupled with geographical factors, the food production is simply not as good as those places in the central and southern parts of the kingdom, and I can't figure out the reason why she did this!

As long as the royal family simply controls the trade transport to Efta and suppresses and excludes it from all aspects, I am afraid that she will be able to make her admit defeat obediently without force...

But now he didn't have time to wonder if Sally was crazy, he should be more concerned about his position in Charles II's heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that...she's making such a fuss completely self-defeating. It's an indisputable fact that Efta's external power is at work. I'm afraid there are too many coincidences involved in this incident, but now that it has become such a situation, I will definitely take care of it." Cleaned her up..."

Mirno could only bite the bullet and make sure that he was in a lot of turmoil. His only son was beheaded. Not only did he have nowhere to vent his anger, but he even had to suppress his anger and continue to deal with these messy things. No one in his position would be able to be so calm.

As the king, Charles II naturally wouldn't pass all the responsibility on to his subordinates. His way of being a servant was equally good. After squinting his eyes and listening to Mirnor talk for a long time, he finally waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. I shouldn't be angry with you. That's it, I'm afraid you know better than me what to do next...I'm waiting for your result."

Mirno was pardoned. Although he knew that this was the so-called "emperor's mind", he was still in awe of Charles II's handling. After bowing his head and making a few promises, he hurriedly left His Majesty's study.

For him, revenge for his son is probably the only thing to do for the rest of his life.

Charles II lowered his eyes slightly, and there was no emotion on Gu Jing Wubo's face. Although there was such a big mistake in the "cooperation" with the undead, for him, this was not something he could not bear. The Karen Kingdom is so big, so what if some nobles died in a city?

Compared with his ambition, this is nothing more than an insignificant matter. On the contrary, Efta's tossing around like this is a good opportunity for him to take the opportunity to unify.

"What should disappear will eventually disappear, and what should be replaced will eventually replace."

Sighing casually, Charles II glanced at the territory map on the other side of the large study room, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Ambition is something that no one in high position will lack.

However, the silence in the study didn't last long, and an unexpected message opened Charles II's eyes—"The envoy of the Kingdom of Rahiman is visiting?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the envoy's ship has just entered the territorial waters and sent a ship, ship... to deliver the letter."

The slightly stuttering words of the attendant made Charles II raise his brows slightly: "If there is anything you haven't said, let's say it together."

"Your Majesty, he, their ship...is not sailing in the water," the valet swallowed, and said in a very low voice: "According to the sergeant at the port, the ship sailed in mid-air by magic. It wasn't until it was almost at the port that it was controlled by the mage above and fell back into the water..."

"Flying ships? Mage?"

Charles II was shocked when he heard the words, but after all, he had a strong city, so he just sat up straight and stopped making any unnecessary movements. After two or three seconds, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the letter, and you should step back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The study room was quiet, but Charles II held the letter in a daze for a long time—because he realized that there seemed to be some unusual meanings behind this seemingly ordinary "envoy visit".

The Kingdom of "Rahiman" is not a neighbor, but a country across the sea from the Kingdom of Karen. During the reign of Charles II's grandfather, envoys from this country, which always speaks with a retroflex, had visited. Pushing forward, it seems that it has contacts with several countries that were the predecessor of the Karen Kingdom, but the latest time is far away, and it should be 40 years ago. If Charles II is not a monarch who likes to look through the history books , I'm afraid I don't even know where it is.

However, it was precisely because he knew that period of history that Charles II felt something was wrong—he remembered that the Kingdom of Rahiman was founded on religion, and the establishment of the "Viper Cross" had some connection with the Kingdom of Rahiman at the earliest. During the state visit ten years ago, Rahiman's envoy said that he was "in a crisis of faith and was fighting a group of crazy and evil magicians". When these magicians came here, they also hoped that the Karen Kingdom Can provide some help with supplies...

But now it seems that the Kingdom of Rahiman has said goodbye to "religion".

Thinking so, Charles II tore open the letter in his hand, and saw a huge arcane rune imprint slowly activated. The rhythm of the elements permeated the surroundings, and the seemingly empty letter paper gradually formed rows of neat words from condensed elements of various colors.

Describing the "Constant Element Condensation" magic circle on a thin piece of paper is undoubtedly a show of strength, but Charles II is not a high-level magician, he probably just thinks that this way of writing letters Quite creative, I shook the letter paper and continued to read.

"The founding of the country? You came here specially for this kind of thing... This is interesting..."

He gently folded the colorful letter paper, his eyes became deeper and deeper.
