Chapter 8 Rescue all(1/2)

In early summer, the once cold and desolate northern country is now full of vitality.

Now is the best season in the north. The light blue sky is quiet and high, and several faint clouds float happily. If you look at it, you can see several birds of prey circling in the extremely high sky.

The wide avenue is lined with dense forests, and the towering ancient trees have removed their ink-colored winter clothes and put on new green clothes. Large areas of birds will fly in the forest. The birds in the north are large and bright in color, which is very different from the south.

This road was already within the empire, leading to the capital of the Duke of Doriak Province, and then turned north and extended to the imperial capital Richeliu. The manpower and financial resources required to be opened up from a primitive dense forest will never be a small amount. From this road alone, we can see the ambitions of the Aslofik Empire for the Holy Alliance. However, Emperor Feuerbach was first trapped in the quagmire of the Dwarf Empire, and then lost a large number of the most elite warriors of the empire in the abyss world. Later, he encountered many discomforts in the attack on the Dark Forest, so his eyes never had the chance to bet on the Holy Alliance.

Despite this, the wide road surface has long been trampled on by the iron hooves of war horses.

A sound of horse hooves woke up the forest, which was taking a nap in the warm sunshine. At the end of the road, more than a hundred knights wearing dark blue armor appeared. These knights guarded more than ten carriages in the middle of the team and were running along the main road.

A carriage in the middle of the team is very eye-catching. Every detail on the carriage is impeccable, and the four beasts pulling the carriage are also eye-catching. There are two knights on both sides of the carriage. Judging from the curve of the figure, it is obviously four female knights. The magical longbows on their backs and the gorgeous, complex and delicate style of the armor all show the characteristics of the elves.

The road was not flat. At this speed, the rest of the carriages in the team were pounding violently, and only the carriage guarded by the elves was as stable as a light boat floating on a quiet lake.

The carriage was large and comfortable, and although there were five people sitting, it still did not seem crowded.

There were dozens of magicians from the Ice and Snow Mages in the rest of the carriage. This journey was a little too difficult for these weak magicians. By the time they camped at night, these magicians must have been tortured by the bumps of the carriage.

At this time, Pompei's Sea God's Legion was left far behind, and Duke Doriac led his army to station on the newly occupied territory and could not go to the imperial capital with Pompei.

Roger was light and wide, leaning on the back of the seat with a light shirt and freehand style. On his left was Froya and on his right was Fengdie, which was really a scene that made men all over the world envious. Opposite Roger, there were dough, harmonious Pompey and the great magician Rockefeller.

Froya is as beautiful as the wind butterfly, just a strange and elegant elf. Their appearance may attract the attention of most men, but three people in the carriage are not among them. Pompei looked at the view passing by quickly outside the carriage, but Roger knew that his sharp gaze had already taken all the details in the carriage. Rockefeller kept looking at Froya.

The little fairy glared back without hesitation, his green eyes staring at Rockefeller's gray eyes, without any hesitation.

Rockefeller suddenly smiled and said, "This lady should be a disciple of Master Jero, His Highness Froya of the former Rhine Alliance?"

The little fairy was shocked and immediately turned into a state of indignation, saying, "Ah! How did you know?"

Rockefeller smiled and said, "Although the great mages are scattered throughout the continent, the distance between them is much closer than they seem on the surface. It is not a secret that Master Yero accepted you as his disciple, and it is not a secret that the artifact Paradise Lost is in his hands. I just sensed the existence of Paradise Lost in you, so it is not difficult to guess that you are Princess Froya."

The little fairy's eyes turned and said, "So, Master Rockefeller has a good relationship with the teacher?"

Rockefeller smiled and said, "This... should be considered a bit of friendship. More than ten years ago, Master Yero visited a temple in the Silver Holy Church."

Froya's face turned slightly red. Of course she knew her teacher's hobbies. It was impossible for Yero to visit the temple of the Silver Holy Church. She just didn't know if there would be any gains from the numerous magical equipment she had on her. But she immediately remembered that Yero had long died and her country had become a noun in history books, and she couldn't help but look gloomy.

Rockefeller also remembered this and couldn't help but feel a little apologized.

At this moment, Pompei withdrew his gaze from the window and smiled: "I have been in the army for more than 20 years. Today, I am the most relaxed and comfortable to travel. Lord Roger's carriage is such a rare good thing!"

Roger smiled and said, "If Pompei likes it, you might as well take it."

Pompei shook his head and said, "We should be far away from these comfortable things as soldiers. Besides, Lord Rogge's carriage is amazing and I can't afford such a valuable gift. While there is still time, let me briefly talk about the situation of the empire. Lord Rogge is also ready. The current situation of the empire is very complicated. The emperor is extremely heroic and has opened up a large area of ​​territory for decades. Even in the palace, the emperor is also brave. At present, the emperor has a total of fifty-one princes and forty-six princesses. Lord Rogge is a smart man, so of course he understands what this means to the political situation of the empire."

Roger nodded.

"The administrative power of the empire is basically in the hands of Prime Minister Straw. In addition, the more than ten great dukes guarding the border are also people with heavy power. Of course, it won't take long to go, and Prince Kerry of Layton will also become important figures in the imperial political arena. In terms of military power, the power has always been concentrated in the hands of the emperor alone. In terms of military power, Alexander, who led the "Ice River" Legion, Frederick and I, who led the "Tide" Legion, are the people who can say something. As for religion, Lord Rogge should know that the Silver Holy Sect and the City of Clouds are currently fighting. Please let Master Rockefeller tell me about this."

Rockefeller continued: "Lord Roger is not an outsider, so I am blunt. The history of the Silver Holy Church is longer than the empire. Under the guidance of the Goddess of Ice and Snow, we have experienced a hundred years of struggle before we drove the power of the Church of Light from the Aslofik Empire. But now our situation is not good, and the City of Yunxiao has fully gained the upper hand. Druid is also the enemy of Lord Roger, because I honestly asked Lord Roger to provide help to jointly fight the City of Yunxiao."

Rog said: "Without the help of the Silver Holy Church and Lord Pompey, I would not have achieved my current status. However, Master, what do you think is the main reason why the Silver Holy Church is at a disadvantage at the moment?"

Rockefeller said frankly: "In recent decades, there have been few powerful talents in the Silver Holy Sect. Now our magicians are far from the city of Yunxiao in terms of quantity and quality. And my blizzard magic is not suitable for the duel between magicians. In other words, if a magical battle is held, I am afraid I am not the opponent of the Wrath of the Sky."

Pompei continued: "Now the empire's prime minister Straw and Frederick from the 'Tide' Corps have both turned to the side of Yunxiao City. They want to support the Thirteenth Prince as the crown prince, and we have always supported the eldest prince. The situation in the empire is becoming more and more tense. In recent months, we have fought several private battles with Yunxiao City, each with casualties. However, although we are at a disadvantage, we can still maintain the balance of the situation. If Lord Rogge is willing to help us, the situation will be completely different. The many strong people around you will be the decisive force."

Roger pondered for a moment and asked Rockefeller: "Master, I would like to ask what the attitude of the Silver Holy Church towards other gods is like?"

Rockefeller said: "My faith belongs to the Goddess of Ice and Snow. But my magic reveals to me the existence of other gods. We are not a monolithic religion, and we are not arrogant and stupid enough to deny the existence of other gods."

Roger immediately said, "This is very good. The two adults must have heard of the Eye of Wisdom in the Holy Alliance. This church has a good relationship with me. If they spread doctrines in the empire and develop the church in the future, I wonder if they can get the support of the two adults and the Silver Holy Church?"

Rockefeller nodded and said, "Since it's related to Lord Roger, there's no problem."

Roger smiled and said, "In the future, two adults will need to support you more in the empire!"

Pompei smiled and said, "Lord Rogge is talented and has great means. Even the City of Yunxiao cannot do anything to you. And you will soon become one of the few princes in the empire, and it can be said that he is in power. In the past few years, Lord Rogge should be more supportive of us."

Roger laughed and said, "Mr. Pompeii is too much. If I surrender to the empire, I will not be a year or two for those who surrender to it. Without Master Pompeii and Master Rockefeller's care, I will not be able to live a hard life in the future."

"Don't worry about this, Lord Rog." Rockefeller said: "Our Aslofik Empire has always paid attention to commitments. If you have merits, you will be rewarded, and if you have mistakes, you will be punished. And we attach special importance to military merits. It is absolutely different from those sinister and shameless southerners. You have made great contributions to the empire, and what the emperor promises to you will definitely be fully fulfilled."

The carriage was in harmony and peace, and the three of them were very happy.

Froya sat quietly, listening to the men's conversations, trying hard to pretend to be a lady.

Feng Die looked out the window and turned a deaf ear to the words and laughter in the carriage. She was truly elegant and quiet.

Pompei suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "There is something I almost forgot to remind Lord Roger. There are twenty-two princesses in the empire who have not been married, and eleven of them are over fourteen years old. If I remember correctly, then among these princesses, there are also docile ones, and there are also… well, not so outstanding. When it comes to marrying the princess, the Yunxiao City will definitely be in trouble. But no matter what, you must marry a princess and get the title of the prince."

Roger was slightly stunned and said, "Is there any difference?"

"The distinction is very large," Pompei said. "The most important point is that the imperial military law stipulates that the princes who are in charge of a country can have no more than 150,000 private troops and can conduct external expeditions. The Grand Duke cannot have more than 50,000 private soldiers. The 100,000 Duke's 100,000 army is the emperor's concession. If there is no title of the prince, your current 100,000 army will probably be disbanded immediately. In addition, the empire is very relaxed in the inheritance of titles and the pardon of criminal crimes. In short, you must get this prince. In this way, at least the thirteenth princes dare not make your ideas openly."

Pompei added: "In the empire, women have no status, there are many concubines in the emperor, and there are no ones who are particularly favored. The status and wealth of all princesses and their mothers' families often depends on the quality of the princess' marriage. This is very beneficial to you."

Roger pondered without saying a word. He would not believe that the Empire would fully trust him. In the Aslofik Empire, which advocates force, elite warriors and many powerful people are power, status, and security guarantees. In any case, Pompei's reminder this time is indeed very important.

But Furoya smiled, and a silver needle was inserted into her fingers, and she secretly gave Roger a few strokes. The little fairy knew that Roger's skin was thick and thick, not to mention her nails, even a slightly blunt knife might not stab his skin. However, no matter how tough Roger's skin was, it would definitely not resist the sharp needle tip.

Roger knew that Pompei and Rockefeller valued him mainly because he had many capable people under his command. For example, Feng Die and Fuluya in the car could be called masters of martial arts and magic. However, they did not know the existence of the two powerful men in the holy realm, the God of Death and Feng Yue, nor did they know that there were such a person as Sius who was so sly and could not reveal them. These ace fat men did not intend to reveal them. The people in the car had temporary interests and were just using each other. If the City of Yunxiao collapsed one day, it would be difficult for Pompei and Rockefeller to target Roger.

Since he met Pompeii, Death Ban and Seus have left the team and followed them secretly.

At this time, a sea god knight came to the carriage and handed a small silver cylinder to Rockefeller.

Rockefeller took out a roll of tiny notes from the cylinder and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more nervous and excited he looked. He immediately handed the secret letter to Pompei, who was mixed with joy and sorrow after reading it. Then, the secret letter came to Roger.

The secret letter is simple and concise, mainly about an adventurer group accidentally discovered an Amoro's Nether Hall in the deep mountains near the Holy Alliance. According to them, it was sealed with the body of the demon Amoro and a powerful frost dagger. The adventurer team was unable to explore the Nether Hall, so they were preparing to sell the information to the Silver Holy Sect at a high price.

This was a very normal deal. But the problem was that the Druids also knew the news and were willing to pay a higher price. Obviously, Druid knew very well the importance of the Frost Dagger to the Silver Holy Church, so he never wanted it to fall into Rockefeller's hands. The person in charge of the Silver Holy Church in the local church was very capable. He saw that the adventurers wanted to repent, so he immediately used force to capture them all. However, the power in the local Yunxiao City had an absolute advantage, so the person in charge did not dare to escort these adventurers to the Great Temple of the Silver Holy Church, but chose to use torture to inquire about the location of the Amoro Temple. But these adventurers were very smart and knew that Druids would come to rescue them at any time, so they would not kill them.

The situation is now very critical. The local druids are mobilizing personnel to attack the holy land of the Silver Holy Church at any time. Therefore, the person in charge urgently asked Rockefeller for assistance.

"Amoro's Underworld Palace... Frost Dagger... Is there any secret in this?" Rog asked after reading the secret letter.

Rockefeller sighed: "The legendary Frost dagger contains the divine power of the Snow Goddess. This dagger is undoubtedly powerful, but this is not the reason why the Silver Holy Church values ​​it. By studying the divine power of the Snow Goddess on the dagger, it will be of great help to the magic development of the Holy Church. To be honest, Lord Rogge, the Snow Goddess has not shown miracles for decades, and this is the foundation of the decline of the Silver Holy Church. Alas, in the glorious era when the Silver Holy Church defeated the Church of Light, the Holy Church once had three great magicians at the same time. I really miss it!"

However, once this battle starts, casualties will exceed the total conflict between the two sides, and it is likely to become the beginning of a full-scale war between the Silver Saint Sect and the Yunxiao City. For the Silver Saint Sect, who is at a disadvantage, this determination is very difficult.

"Master Rockefeller, what do you think?" Pompey said slowly.

Rockefeller said without hesitation: "I am determined to win this frost dagger!"

Pompey nodded and pondered: "In Montreal... it's not too far from us. The City of Clouds and Nights should have expected that we would abandon the Sea Gods Corps and rush to the imperial capital so quickly. Well, very well, we will use this to teach the Druids a lesson! If we don't have many supporters, we should be able to arrive in Montreal within one day. I don't remember that there are members of the Elders of Clouds and Nights around Montreal..." He looked at Rockefeller inquiringly.

Rockefeller nodded and said, "There are indeed no elders of Druid around Montreal. As long as we support no more than thirty people, I will have a way to send people quietly to the Cathedral in Montreal."

Pompey nodded and looked at Rogue.

Roger smiled and said, "Do you want me to go?"

"Master Rockefeller and I cannot come forward directly, and the surface harmony with Yunxiao City is still needed. You should not reveal your identity. Master Rockefeller said just now that in order to catch Druid off guard, we can't go there too many people, and we can only send a few of the most elite people. My twenty "Tide-Reverse Whale" warriors are temporarily under the command of Lord Roger. Master, how many magicians can you send out?"

Rockefeller said: "There are four magicians above level 13 in the Ice and Snow Mage Group, and they can all be dispatched."

Roger smiled faintly and said, "That's enough."

Pompei said again: "Mr. Roger, your elf guards are too obvious, so it's better not to bring them. I have several magic scrolls in my hand that I have collected for many years, just in case."

"If this battle starts..." Roger said: "The death and injury are probably small."

Pompei smiled and said, "Lord Roger can handle Montreal matters at his discretion, and everyone there will act according to your orders. In fact, as long as the matter is done cleanly, no matter how large the conflict is, we can push it completely afterwards. Another thing is that you must know that the Emperor is the one who likes decisive people the most..."

The three of them quickly agreed on the details of their actions and responses. Then Pompei and Rockefeller left Roger's carriage and replaced them with three women and one man and four magicians. Twenty "Tide-Reverse Whale" guards with faint murderous aura each brought four war horses and waited for Roger's orders.

Soon, amid the thunderous sound of horse hooves, Roger, his carriage and twenty knights galloped away, and disappeared at the end of the avenue.

The four high-level magicians of the Ice and Snow Mages were tortured during their journey just now, and now they get on Rogue's carriage, and they feel like they are entering heaven.

The fat man leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and carefully planned the action. For him, it was really good to use Pompei and Rockefeller's men to attack Druid. Of course, you can't expect the Death Clan to take action against Yunxiao City, and the old fox Sius would probably not take action. But since Elder Druid would not appear, that is to say, Rog would not encounter Druid above level 15, what else is he afraid of?

What's more, Feng Die's martial arts have almost recovered. Now the Elf King's Bow is in her hands, and it is definitely the magician's natural enemy.

The three female magicians of the Ice and Snow Mercenary Group are all a little old, but under the magic effect, they still look very young. Their eyes were full of jealousy when they looked at Froya and Fengdie, and when they saw Rogge, they were a little disdainful. The middle-aged male magician was very nervous and seemed at a loss. He occasionally looked at Froya and Fengdie secretly.

Sunrise and sunset, followed by dark night before dawn.

In a three-story house in Montreal, there are sharp eyes staring at a complex of buildings in the darkness in the distance. There is the church of the Silver Holy Church. From the scale and gorgeous style of the complex, the glory of the Silver Holy Church can still be seen.

"The Eagle of Dawn" Matteo is already well-known in Druid's world. He is tall and dressed in brown leather. He shows his strength and decisiveness.

Although Mateo was already at level 13, he still felt a little nervous now. In a moment, when the first line of dawn shone on Montreal, two hundred warriors and more than a dozen druids would enter the church of the Silver Holy Church under his leadership and rescued several adventurers imprisoned in it. If the incident had not happened suddenly, such a major action should at least be directed by the elders, and it would have been Mateo's turn.

Even if the members of the Bank of China Holy Sect gather together in several nearby cities, their strength is far less than that of Matteo's opponent, so this is a sure win action.

Matteo couldn't help but thank the goddess of nature for favoring him from the bottom of his heart.

The sky was gradually lit up. Matteo once again recalled the portraits and related descriptions of several adventurers in his heart, and then made three sharp and long eagle songs.

The sound of birds singing came one after another, echoing in the sky of Monterey. Agile figures jumped out of their hideouts and rushed towards the church of the Silver Holy Church.

When... when...

The huge bell of the Silver Holy Church rang. Matteo sneered. He knew that this was a warning signal, but this time, he was not here to attack, but to attack for force.

Not far away, figures flashed behind the iron gate of the church courtyard. Matteo recited a spell and waved his hands outward. As the green light flashed, a large thorn thorn flew over the sky, not only knocking the guards behind the iron gate to a lot of holes, but the huge impact force even slowly sank the entire iron gate!

With the roar, two heavy iron gates smashed heavily into the yard, and immediately a cloud of smoke and dust flew.

Matteo walked into the courtyard of the Church of the Silver Holy Church with steady and resolute steps. Behind him, dozens of warriors and several druids were followed. Although he was confident that these people were strong enough to sweep the church to a flat ground, their goal was to attract the main force of the enemy, and the real attack was the encirclement on the side and rear.
To be continued...
