Chapter 502 Intervention

Edward walked around the room irritably, making the floor creak. He kept swinging his arms, making various gestures, and his lips moved up and down, as if he was mumbling to himself. Maybe this would make him feel better.

Sanel looked at Edward and said nothing quietly. He thought it was better not to touch the bad luck of the big pirate leader in front of him at this time.

His eyeballs swayed slightly, and his eyes were cast on another boss in the room.

Ms. Marianna still maintained her usual elegant demeanor, sitting leisurely on the rattan chair, holding coffee in her left hand and stirring slowly with a small spoon in her right hand.

It seemed that what happened in the corner bay had nothing to do with her.

There was a sound of someone climbing the stairs outside, and soon the door was knocked.

Sanel walked quickly to the door, opened a cover on the door, revealing a small hole, he glanced outside, and then opened the door.

Nathan appeared outside, and Marianna, who was drinking coffee, looked at her child.

Nathan waved inside, "Everyone, I've got Sita."

After saying that, he stepped into the room, revealing the iron tower-like sturdy man behind him.

Sita had a simple and honest look on his face, lowered his head slightly, and got in through the door frame.

Edward asked with some amusement: "Nothing happened on the way?"

Nathan shrugged his shoulders and answered with an interesting expression: "Except for the incident of helping others, everything went well, nothing serious."

He roughly described the process of stopping the carriage on the street just now.

"The owner of the carriage may be a noble, but we ran away in time and he didn't see us."

Edward looked at Sita, who was still silent, just like the simple farmer who was common in the countryside and was silent on weekdays and only knew to work hard.

He knew this person's character and asked Nathan directly: "How is the Horn Bay Alliance, have those noble gentlemen discussed the results?"

Nathan, who had a calm face just now, showed an annoyed expression on his face.

"Don't mention it!"

"The Council is still arguing."

In Nathan's description, everyone knew what happened recently in the upper echelons of the alliance.

After learning that the Crusaders had "borrowed" neutral states to attack their empty and vulnerable northern allies, the top leaders of the alliance had a fierce argument. One group believed that they should not care about the north for the time being, and should immediately concentrate their forces to attack the church's territory as originally planned, and go straight to Collins. The other group believed that the troops should be withdrawn and transferred to the north to deal with the Crusaders who had taken a detour. Now the two groups of parliamentarians have their own opinions and are evenly matched in the Council. The troops that have been assembled at the border have not received clear instructions, so they have neither provided assistance to the neighboring areas controlled by the Church nor returned to support the northern allies.

After listening to this, Edward gritted his teeth and said, "Since the power of the church has appeared in the north, it means that the church's territory in front of the Horn Bay Alliance must be empty of troops. You should take this opportunity to break in."

Nathan disagreed with his point of view, "The neutral states in the north are too weak, and a small army can deal with them. What if the church is just feinting in the north, and the real main force is staying in the east of the Horn Bay Alliance, waiting for the Horn Bay Alliance to transfer its main force to the north, and then immediately take advantage of the opportunity to enter?"

Edward: "Whether it is to go east to the inland or go north to rescue the allies, it is better than staying at the border and doing nothing."

Nathan's expression was helpless, "The most terrible thing is that those northern countries that are threatened have notified their own troops that are going to the Horn Bay Alliance border to withdraw to their own countries, and the Protestant army is about to fall apart."

"Then let us lend a helping hand to the northern countries."

Ms. Marianna, who had been drinking coffee leisurely next to her, suddenly spoke.

"Help? How to help?"

Marianna's words surprised everyone.

"Ahem! You mean donating some money to them and recruiting more soldiers?" Nathan waved his hand, "It's useless, these countries are not short of money."

"No." Mariana denied: "I mean - we use the power of magic to directly intervene in the war."

For a moment, Nathan felt that his mother had some problems with her brain. To be honest, if she is measured by the age of mortals, she is really not young.

Nathan said awkwardly: "That, I'm not saying that... Although we have cooperated with mortal regimes like Giles before, that was based on years of cautious mutual contact and understanding. The current situation is so critical that it's too late. These countries were frantically hunting down spellcasters with the church some time ago. If we rashly go to those authorities to reveal our identities, are you sure they won't tie us up and burn us on the spot?"

Marianna smiled and said to her son: "If it were someone else, of course it wouldn't work. But I happen to know a ruler in Jiaowan who has enough understanding and tolerance for spellcasters, and his country also has considerable influence among the coastal countries."

"Is there such a person in Jiaowan?"

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Everyone in the room was greatly surprised.

Nathan said indignantly: "Then why didn't he stand up earlier to uphold justice for the spellcasters? Mortals are really no good."

Marianna said helplessly but with some understanding: "As a ruler of a country, it is impossible to resist the will of the nation as a whole. The people at that time were bewitched by the church. Even if the monarch was a rational person, he could do nothing. Even if he had enough ability to convince his people, he would face isolation and even hostility from all other countries in the Bay. He could only endure and wait for the right time - when everyone was forced to live by the church's perverse actions."

Nathan still asked with some disdain: "Oh? Then who is this monarch who has enough understanding and tolerance for spellcasters?"

Marianna replied: "The ruler of the Principality of Eaton - His Majesty Eteot Cabray."

"The Principality of Eaton? Isn't that the country we are in now?"

Nathan was surprised. It was his mother who decided to come to Hydra, the capital of Eaton, and it happened to be the moment when the crusader army was approaching Eaton.

Did she plan to do this a long time ago?

"Then..." he asked, "How do you know that he has enough understanding of us spellcasters?"

"Haha!" Marianna smiled, "Because his wife, the current Grand Duchess Helen of Eton, is a spellcaster."

"Do you know this Grand Duchess Helen?"

"Of course, because she is my student, and I led her on the path of magic."
