Chapter 994 The Murderous Intention Brewing
The moonlight fell on the towering mountains, reflecting the mottled rocks and the forest in the distance, making everything look hazy and quiet.
As the powerful men of the Pars Empire quietly disappeared at the end of the deep moonlit night, this land did not quiet down.
I saw several other burly figures exuding dangerous aura, appearing out of thin air not far from the lair.
"Master Paladin, those guys from the Pars Empire have completely left."
A middle-aged burly knight with golden magic lines flashing on the back of his hand stepped forward and said to another taller and stronger knight in golden armor: "Unexpectedly, the one who came was the first prince of the Pars Empire. .”
"This is not surprising. Doesn't His Majesty the Great Saint King attach great importance to this matter?"
The tall golden-armored knight nodded slightly. Due to the obstruction of the fully enclosed golden battle helmet, although his specific face could not be seen clearly, judging from the majestic momentum exuding around him and the occasional light flashing from the battle helmet, he was at the level of a kingdom. Its strength is obviously beyond doubt.
"What the Holy Knight Commander said is absolutely true, otherwise His Majesty the Holy King would not have sent you here to conduct a secret investigation."
The middle-aged burly knight still maintained a very respectful posture and sighed: "Speaking of which, the performance of the alien princess Keqing is really amazing."
"He was actually able to successfully kill the fourth prince of the Cold Flame Kingdom and the heads of two wealthy families, and completely defeated the opponent's army which had an absolute advantage."
The middle-aged burly knight lifted up the metal shield, his dark gray eyes full of surprise and shock, and continued: "To be more precise, when the princess Keqing secretly controlled the Shanglu family's army, she simply Without even using a single soldier of our own, we captured this fortress city that is said to never fall."
"Yes, so His Majesty the Holy King sent our sect here, which is indeed an extremely wise decision."
The tall and sturdy paladin chief narrowed his eyes and looked down at the huge, quiet and mottled city at the foot of the mountain. He nodded and said, "The guest princess from another world who has always kept a low profile is really surprising."
"But no matter what, it is really a happy thing to see that Stone and Lancaster's army, who have always been against us, died here due to civil strife."
The middle-aged burly knight's voice became a bit joking, and he said playfully: "The strength of the Lancaster family has dropped sharply. This is like a celebration for our Kingdom of Grim."
"Short-sightedness means that war is coming. Even a sacred celebration such as His Majesty the Pope's birthday cannot stop His Majesty the Holy King."
The Holy Knight glanced at the burly knight and said calmly: "Go back and spend time with your family this time. There is not much time left for us. After hearing the briefing on the battle for Kelburg, His Majesty the Holy King, I am afraid that We will prepare to use troops against the Cold Flame Kingdom soon."
"So is this the real reason why His Majesty the Holy King specially sent you to watch the battle in person?"
The middle-aged burly knight nodded thoughtfully and said thoughtfully: "Now that the Lancaster family is newly defeated, and the Cold Flame Kingdom's strength has been sharply reduced due to civil strife, this is indeed the best time to attack the Cold Flame Kingdom! "
"Before this, we have suffered a lot from Lancaster's elite legion. Now is the best opportunity for revenge!"
After the middle-aged burly knight finished speaking, several other knights around him also cheered.
"Revenge against the Lancasters?"
The Holy Knight snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "In the final analysis, Stone is just a cunning clown. It is worth the risk of displeasing His Majesty the Pope during the celebration month of the Holy Nativity. Is it dangerous to develop weapons?"
"Our targets are the guest from another world and the fifth princess, or the future Queen of Cold Flame, but this queen who has not yet been crowned may be the last monarch of the Cold Flame Kingdom."
The tone of the Holy Knight Captain became a little playful, and he continued to say calmly: "Under this situation, do you still think this is just a small revenge war?"
"Master Paladin, do you mean that His Majesty the Holy King is going to raise the entire nation's army to launch a war of annihilation against the Cold Flame Kingdom?"
The middle-aged burly knight was stunned, and then said in disbelief: "For hundreds of years, although our Kingdom of Grim and the Kingdom of Cold Flame have been having constant disputes on the border, they have never mobilized troops like this!"
After the middle-aged burly knight finished speaking, several other knights around him began to look at each other in confusion.
"This just shows how scary the alien princess Ke Qing is."
The Holy Knight Captain took a deep breath slowly and continued to stare at the huge fortress city where Lei Xiao was located.
"The speed of its development is too weird and unbelievable. According to the latest intelligence, in a short period of time, it not only equipped hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers with expensive third-level weapons and armor, but also provided Received a large number of potions and magic scrolls."
"This has far exceeded the level of a wealthy family, and is comparable to a royal family, or even stronger."
"It can be seen that if it is allowed to continue to develop, it won't be long before it is our turn to be the Kingdom of Grim."
There was a bit more murderous intent in the words of the Holy Knight Captain, and he continued: "So the wise Holy King will definitely strike first and take advantage of the other party's weakness to eliminate this serious problem next door in advance."
"So that's it."
The burly knight looked suddenly enlightened, but then said with a nervous tone: "But Lord Paladin, once our Kingdom of Grim is overthrown, wouldn't it mean that the Pars Empire and the Iron Hand Islands will be given to us?" Is there an opportunity? You know, we are bordering these three countries, including the Cold Flame Kingdom."
"Idiot, haven't you reacted yet?"
The Holy Knight Captain slowly withdrew his gaze from looking at the city, glanced at the burly knight again and said, "Do you think the prince of the Pars Empire is here to travel?"
"Master Paladin, are you saying that the Pars Empire is also preparing to use troops against the Cold Flame Kingdom?"
The burly knight's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized: "After the Cold Flame Kingdom regained the northern territory, the Pars Empire has been preparing to make a move."
"However, it has made too many enemies. Not only do we, the Kingdom of Grim and the Iron Hand Islands, are eyeing us, but some foreign races that have suffered losses in the outer regions are also always ready to go to war with the Pars Empire."
"And now, with the Cold Flame Kingdom's military front weak and our Kingdom of Grim preparing to launch a war of annihilation, the Pars Empire will naturally not let go of this great opportunity!"
After hearing the words of the middle-aged burly knight, the other knights nodded, apparently fully understanding the current situation.
"Do you think this is the end?"
The Holy Knight Commander looked far away, looking at the dark sky in the distance, and said calmly: "The Holy Night Kingdom, Canlan Federation, Prairie Kingdom, and even the group of vampires on the Iron Hand Islands must also be planning to attack Leng. The attack of the Flame Kingdom, in other words, this time the Cold Flame Kingdom will most likely face the full attack of the other six nations alone."
"What? Wouldn't the Lengyan Kingdom be wiped out in an instant? You know, the Lengyan Kingdom is located at the center of the human kingdoms. It will be besieged on all sides by then, and the strength of the six kingdoms like us is no less than that of the lords from other worlds. The Kingdom of Cold Flame before its arrival, let alone dealing with the Broken Drive that is now greatly reduced in strength?"
The middle-aged burly knight was astonished and couldn't help but said jokingly: "It seems that no matter how capable the foreign guest is, he will definitely die this time."
"That's for sure, but the alien guest will not give in easily. This is the most difficult part. After all, he will always use some unexpected methods."
The Holy Knight Commander nodded and said calmly: "So what we need to do is to go back and plan carefully, use the restraints of other countries to occupy the most land at the minimum cost, and finally completely solve this serious problem."
"Okay, let's discuss other matters after returning to the kingdom."
After speaking, the Holy Knight Captain nodded to the other knights, and immediately the group of people put on their invisibility cloaks and disappeared into the quiet night in an instant.
However, they did not notice that not far from the monster's lair, the space was faintly distorted, reflecting several expressionless pale faces, which was the symbol of a powerful vampire.
…
"Young Patriarch, it's time for me to go back and prepare our troops for war."
In another dense jungle on the top of a mountain in the distance, a middle-aged man with a majestic and majestic face, a thin face, caressed his chest and saluted another young man wearing a headband with a distinctive prairie style: "Now The young clan leader has overcome all difficulties and has just made the tribes surrender again. This is the best time to transfer internal conflicts."
"As long as the young patriarch launches a war against the Cold Flame Kingdom in the name of the King of the Grassland, and promises enough benefits to each tribe, allowing them to run unscrupulously on the land of the Cold Flame Kingdom, he will be able to secure his position as the King of the Grassland just around the corner."
There was a hint of gloominess in the words of the thin middle-aged man, and he suggested: "This foreign guest of unknown origin is really too dangerous. Even our old enemies, the Yorkman family, are no match. He must be the enemy of the entire grassland. A serious problem."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our grassland kingdom has been devastated by dimensional storms and bloody battles among various tribes for years. Its strength is no longer what it used to be. It cannot even assemble a million-strong army."
The young man shook his head and denied the view of the skinny middle-aged man: "The most important thing is that now there are mourners everywhere in the grassland, and the green has been dyed bright red. Such a scene of people living in dire straits, even the soaring eagles in the sky have seen it. Everyone shook their heads and sighed, let alone this young master who is about to become the king of the grassland?"
"The grassland people of various tribes can no longer withstand a large-scale war, even if the opponent was once our old enemy."
At this point, the young man's voice became awe-inspiring, and he said calmly: "There is no need to mention this matter again. Since the foreign guest and the fifth princess are only one step away from the throne, then we, the people of the grassland, We should send our most sincere blessings to turn the conflict into friendship, instead of starting this unnecessary war again."
"Young patriarch, once the alien princess Ke Qing is allowed to breathe, I'm afraid our situation will be extremely bad."
The skinny middle-aged man still refused to give up and continued to persuade: "Besides, other countries will definitely take action against the Cold Flame Kingdom. How can we miss this perfect opportunity to get a piece of the pie?"
"Then we should not send troops. Cunning and taking advantage of others' danger are never our virtues."
The young man still insisted on his opinion and frowned: "There is no need to mention this matter again. What we need now is to recuperate, not to let more sons of the grassland lose their fathers!"
After finishing speaking, the young man who was the young patriarch wanted to turn around and leave, but his body suddenly trembled and he stood upright on the spot.
Under the hazy moonlight, a sharp short blade had pierced the young patriarch's chest from behind.
"You, you guy..."
The young patriarch looked at the blood-stained sword tip protruding from his chest in disbelief, turned his head stiffly, and met a ferocious and twisted face.
"It's really a puddle of mud that can't hold up the wall. Since you don't listen to my advice, don't blame me for being cruel."
The skinny middle-aged strong man sneered, and immediately drew out the dagger without hesitation, bringing out a shocking blood-red color.
The young patriarch's body trembled again, then he collapsed to the ground, and soon lost his life.
"Since you are so unwilling to let war reignite in this land, then you can stay here forever, poor coward."
The middle-aged, lean and strong man snorted coldly, then flew up and kicked the body of the young patriarch off the cliff, causing a splash of sand and rocks.
When everything calmed down again, a figure surrounded by a black robe appeared next to the skinny middle-aged man.
The black-robed figure was seen wearing a strange white mask covered with blood lines, which looked extremely frightening under the pale moonlight.
Needless to say, this is the strong man of the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
"See Lord Shura!"
Seeing the black-robed man without any breath appearing on his body, the middle-aged, thin and strong man immediately touched his chest and saluted, and said with a flattering face: "As expected by Master Shura, that guy is indeed a coward and a dead-head, and there is no way he will join. organization, so the villain has killed it!"
"Well done. It seems that you will become the new Shura soon. Moreover, the organization's "Holy Plan" and "Reverse Time Ceremony" are going very smoothly. You will soon have many new robes. "
The black-robed man numbered 00002 nodded slightly and said calmly: "As for the new king of the Prairie Kingdom, the organization will make arrangements for it. You will be there to assist and send troops immediately."
"Yes, everything depends on Lord Shura's instructions!"
The middle-aged, lean and strong man nodded repeatedly, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
"Very good. You can go back first. I will send someone to contact you later."
The man in black robe No. 2 waved his hand, and the middle-aged, thin and strong man immediately bowed and left.
When everything calmed down again, the man in black robe No. 2 looked at the fortress city under the night, and his face hidden under the mask gradually became ferocious.
"Despicable alien, don't be too happy too soon, you will definitely die before long!" (End of Chapter)
