Today, I was already threatened by the Imperial Army, and the city of Kalsas was quite calm in a storm.
However, in the royal castle meeting hall in the city, there is another scene.
At this moment, a group of Kalsas' senior officials had already formed a gang, especially when the remnants of the "Glorious Legion" such as Alvin returned to Kalsas and brought back the extremely bad news to Lord Loren!
"Lord Sarras!"
"Please calm down!"
"You don't have the ability to attack a floating city, and you shouldn't have attacked, as that will only seek death!"
Looking at Lord Loren who was fully armed and planning to lead his troops to attack, the legendary magician Jessica had to step forward to stop and patiently persuade him.
When she came back, she had already anticipated this situation. She originally thought that the other party would be more rational, and even if she wanted to act, she had to wait until the siege of Karthas was lifted. But how could the other party have reacted more intensely than she imagined?
"yes!"
"Lord Loren, please think twice!"
At this time, Alvin, who was standing beside him, hurriedly stood up and persuaded him.
"calm?"
Bang!!
"Shut up!"
"How do you calm me down?"
"ah?!"
Luo Lun was furious and even overturned a square table beside him.
"How can I calm down?!"
"At the beginning!"
"You said you were going to find the Dark Wand. I agreed. When the front line was tight, I specially sent troops to accompany you. What's the result?"
"You didn't bring back the magic wand. Now, it has been occupied by the Imperial Army!"
"Next, you said that in order to fight against the Empire's magic sword, you must find the holy sword. I promised you too. I also drew the most elite soldiers in Kalsas City to you and formed the glorious legion you mentioned, right!"
"But what about now?"
"Where is that Holy Gladiator Gulisa?"
"besides!"
"You didn't get that holy sword, and you even lost the battle and lost the generals. That's fine, but where are Shirley?"
"And Keith?"
"Where are they now? Why are you the only ones back?!"
Luo Ren roared angrily, almost ordering the guards to drive all the guys in front of him out.
You know, Shirley is the princess of Kalsas, and she is the only royal bloodline...
But now, the other party followed these guys to find the Holy Sword. As they searched for it, they found her, so that Luo Lun had the desire to kill someone at the moment.
And Keith, let alone!
The opponent is the commander of the Flying Corps of the Kingdom of Kalsas. He is a serious and rigorous and strictly abides by the spirit of the chivalry. He is known as the most powerful knight in Kalsas and an experienced commander and commander. Loren also wants to wait for the opponent to come back and let the opponent only know Kalsas's periphery defense!
As a result, the other party was also lost by these hateful guys, and these people were even more despicable to come back first?
It’s okay to come back, but he still has the face to stop Luo Lun from taking people to the floating island to save people. What are these guys pressing on?!
“…”
After opening his mouth, Alvin suddenly didn't know where to start. In the end, he had to bow his head shyly and retreat to the side.
Speaking of which, he should be blamed for this matter.
If he had seen the floating city for the first time in that valley, his attitude would have been a little firmer and forced Shirley to stay with force instead of being kicked over by the other party and hesitated and instead wanted to impress and dissuade the other party with words, I'm afraid there would be no more things now.
"Listen to calm down!"
"Lord Loren!"
"Now I have contacted the surrounding countries. They have agreed to raise an army and cooperate with the city of Kalsas to resist the imperial attack. Some lords and generals are even on the way to lead their troops here, and they will arrive here at any time!"
"You're sure..."
"Do you really want to lead all the Flying Corps of Kalsas to that floating city at this time?"
Seeing that Lord Loren could not control his emotions, Jessica, the legendary great magician, the spokesperson of the Goddess of Light, had to face a stern face and persuade him in an extremely stern tone, half threatening and half persuasion.
That's right, it's just a semi-threatening!
Because, once Lord Loren really ignores it and insists on taking all the flying corps of Kalsas to the floating island and intends to save Shirley and Keith (mainly Shirley), Kalsas, who has lost his commander, will undoubtedly soon become a mess of sand and can no longer resist the attack of the Imperial Army!
At present, the empire's 100,000 main force is forty miles away. If Lord Loren chooses to leave at this time instead of staying in Kalsas City to preside over the situation, then no matter what the consequences of the other party going to the floating island, the Imperial Army will definitely be the first to hear the news.
By then...
Kalsas will have no defensive value!
And she will completely abandon the Kingdom of Kalsas and instead call on the countries she urgently contacted and united again around another lord or another elected commander, and continue to seek new opportunities to resist and crush the empire and the conspiracy of the demons.
By then, Kalsas will completely fall and become a tiny particle of dust in history, just like the Kingdom of Valdia and Dalsis hundreds of years ago!
"Please believe me!"
"If you leave now, no reinforcements will arrive here. By then, Karthas will be doomed to fall!"
"In that case, no matter where the future of this continent is, it has nothing to do with Karthas."
"Are you sure that's what you want?"
As the spokesperson for the goddess on earth, Jessica has long seen the prosperity and decline of too many countries for hundreds or thousands of years. She does not think Karthas will be irreplaceable.
In fact, no country or person is irreplaceable. In her eyes, all kingdoms and lords, and even glorious descendants, are just tools that can be used.
If Kalsas is useful, she will spare no effort to guide and assist in order to reshape another round of invasion of the empire and demons and restore peace as soon as possible.
And if she can't, she will give it up without hesitation and seek a new guide.
"you!!"
Lord Loren, who was about to walk out of the hall without hesitation, obviously heard what Jessica said, so he had to stop, and turn his head fiercely, staring at the great magician in front of him with a bad look.
"Father!"
"I think Master Jessica is right. You'd better keep it steady now and don't be too impulsive?"
At this time, the young knight of Kalsas, who was adopted by the lord Loren since childhood, learned a lot of knowledge about military tactics and swordsmanship from Loren. He was relatively calm and praised. Scott, who was said to be a knight with a high IQ, stood up and persuaded:
"According to our investigation, that floating island should not belong to the empire either."
"A captain of our Kalsas Flying Army also said that they had seen the Empire's Royal Griffon Team want to forcibly break into the floating island a few days ago, but in the end, the Empire's Royal Griffon Team were all captured by magic on the floating island."
"In addition, the main army of the empire is now stopping forty miles away. It is not difficult to infer from their formation that they are also afraid of the floating island?"
"No, not possible, but certain!"
"So Father, we can wait first!"
"I think Shirley and General Keith must have been detained by the people on the floating island. Although they don't know the other party's intentions, at least, you don't have to be so anxious, especially at this critical moment when the Empire is about to be at the city?"
At this time, it is definitely not possible for others to persuade, it will just add fuel to the fire. However, if Scott, the adopted son who was adopted by Loren since childhood, spoke up, the nature would be different. After all, there is always a little difference between one's own people and an untrusted outsider.
"Scott..."
Looking at the adopted son who was talking in front of him, a hint of astonishment flashed in Luolun's eyes, and then a look of inexplicable and fear appeared. But soon, he did not continue to think too much, but took a deep breath and suppressed the chaotic emotions before finally calming down.
"Tell me!"
"What do you have any other ideas? Keep talking!"
Although he was a little calmer, everyone present could hear that Lord Loren must still suppress his anger now, and it seemed that his attitude towards Scott, who had stopped him, suddenly had some subtle changes, and became a little dissatisfied?
“…”
“…”
Everyone did not interrupt, but turned to look at the young knight who dared to speak at this time.
But thinking about it, compared to Princess Shirley, the status of adopted son Scott is much worse. Moreover, if something happens to Shirley or cannot come back, it is self-evident who is the one who makes the most profit.
“It’s very simple!”
"Since we are not sure whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, and there is no chance of winning by forcing a person to rescue people, why don't we try to send an envoy to formally submit documents to the floating island in the name of Karthas?"
"In that case, you can not only inquire about the other party's reality or confirm the situation of Princess Shirley. If possible, you can even try to win over them. That's a matter of three goals. Why not do it?"
Scott continued to talk,
Over the years, others have always liked to say that he is a theoretical school who talks on paper. He has never had any outstanding achievements and has not even participated in a few actual combat. However, his judgment tells him that in the face of an unknown enemy, Karthas is best not to express his hostility too early?
"ah!"
"This is a really good idea!"
"But……"
"Who will be sent?"
After hearing this, Hayn, who was beside him, exclaimed, and then subconsciously looked at Alvin.
"no!"
"Alvin is not good, he is not qualified enough!"
Before Alvin could speak, the great wizard Jessica interrupted Hayn's somewhat unrealistic thoughts.
After all, now it is the floating island on behalf of the Kingdom of Kalsas. Alvin has nothing to do with Kalsas. If you go up casually, others will not know what to think!
Next, Alvin is one of the two glorious descendants chosen by Jessica. Now that something has happened to Shirley, Alvin will definitely not have any trouble. Otherwise, if the demons really make a comeback, she will be anxious to find a second obedient glorious descendant.
"Too……"
"Who will send?"
"Or, teacher, go there?"
Hayn thought about it and felt that Elvin did not have any identity in the Kingdom of Kalsas. Then he had to turn his head and look at his teacher, Jessica.
The other party is a legendary magician, and has contacted neighboring countries to unite so many countries. It seems appropriate to use a mage force now?
"No……"
"Not me!"
"The floating island has strong magical protection. Once I go in, I am afraid I will not be able to get out easily. At that time, no one will mediate and contact it. The countries will probably fail to resist the invasion of the empire."
Shaking his head, Jessica rejected Hayn's proposal.
To be honest, if she could go, she would have gone long ago!
However, once she stepped into the protection of the floating city, she, a legendary magician who had lived for thousands of years, would have no choice but to be able to do so. She had to avoid anything that was not under her control.
She is the spokesperson for the goddess to be stationed in the world. She has been monitoring this land for hundreds of years. Although the situation this time is a bit dangerous and somewhat beyond her own expectations, she still won't do anything that is easy to take risks, at least she won't do it for the time being.
Because things are far from bad to the point where she needs to take risks, and, no matter what, she only needs to be responsible to the goddess, rather than caring about the rise and fall of a kingdom on earth or the safety of a mere princess.
"You need to say nothing more!"
At this time, Lord Loren's adopted son, Scott, spoke again and stood up with no choice.
"I asked the matter, so let me go!"
"And, I am the son of my father. In terms of identity, there is no more suitable Karthas now than me."
"Another, it's useless for me to stay here now. If the Empire really attacks, even without me, it will not affect the overall situation, right?"
Scott said with a relaxed smile, as if he had found a beautiful person for himself.
"Father!"
"Let me go!"
"I just need to bring your letter, and there are several Flying Eagle Knights in the flag of Kalsas. In this way, more Flying Legions can continue to stay in Kalsas to defend, and your pressure will be reduced a lot at that time."
"Please rest assured, I will definitely bring Shirley back safely, I promise!"
Without waiting for Loren to refuse, Scott walked to the other party and knelt half his knees and gave a big gift in a regular manner.
"Scott..."
"you……"
Lord Loren was a little surprised and didn't know what to say.
Just now, he was a little suspicious of the other party's intention to dissuade him, but now, the other party himself proposed to represent Karthas to the dangerous floating island to go to the terrible place that might never return. This made him slightly upset about some of his own excessively extreme thoughts just now.
"If that's the case, I'll go with you too!"
At this time, Hayn suddenly stood up and said.
“!!”
"Hain, are you sure?"
"You have to think clearly. Once you go up, you may not be able to come back!"
Jessica looked at the newly recruited simple-minded student, and frowned and carefully dissuaded.
"Yes!"
"Teacher, I've decided!"
"Scott is a knight. If you have a mage like me around you, someone can answer some difficult questions when you encounter them, right?"
"Besides, that's a floating island, it's a floating island that is more than ten times larger than Tisreo. There must be many powerful mages and many magical knowledge I don't know. I really want to see it."
"real!"
Hayn said with a look of longing.
Although he didn't know the great truth that "I can die in the morning and evening", he only knew that for him who had never had the opportunity to visit the "Tesreo", the larger and better floating island at present was the holy place he dreamed of!
As long as he can go and take a look, touch, and study it carefully, he will have no regrets even if he dies on it or is trapped there forever by the other party!
"It's really awesome!"
"So!"
"That's the decision!"
At this time, without waiting for Jessica to refute and refuse, Lord Loren, who was standing beside him, waved his hand and directly agreed to Hayn's request, and then finally finalized the matter.
""
Jessica shut up, just glanced at her student with some regret, and finally said nothing more.
Obviously, although Hain is very outstanding, she is just a student of her. In the past few hundred years, she has had too many students. Now, compared with the overall situation, she can still figure out which is more important to such a student.
"That's great!"
"Scott, you go and prepare first, I'll pack some luggage, we'll meet outside later!"
"That's it!"
"Alvin, Leana, I'll go and see you later!"
After saying that, Hayn ran out of the chamber happily and returned to his room to pack up his things.
