The branches throughout the room gradually receded, and Sylvia's headless body fell to the ground. The room returned to its original appearance, and the fire in the middle gradually extinguished as it swayed.

The holy flames on the knife also dissipated, and then disappeared into Qingkong's hand. The fluorescent scimitar flew around for a week and was retrieved into the scabbard.

Darkness filled the space, and the figure in the clear sky disappeared as the last ray of light faded.

Before the launch of the general attack, Qingkong was fully prepared to face the sixth apostle Sylvia. She not only took the time to restore the power, but also previewed a lot of information related to Sylvia.

Sylvia is the most low-key apostle in the Abyss Temple. She is obsessed with studying the secrets of the Abyss and almost never leaves the temple headquarters. Probably for this reason, the chance of her being incited to rebel is very low, so she was entrusted with important tasks.

Follow Erguya to the Western Region.

In terms of actual combat experience, Sylvia is not as good as other apostles. But as the chief engineer of the defense of the Abyss Temple headquarters, if she fights at home, her strength will be second only to the first apostle Victor.

However, Qingkong sent the most fatal wrong information to the Abyss Temple, which made the surviving apostles of the Abyss begin to doubt each other. In addition, the strategy of the Western Region was too important for the Tedga Hills War, so the Abyss Temple could only send Sylvia over.

Sylvia, who left the Abyss Temple, was the weakest Apostle of the Abyss, while Qingkong discovered the correct way to use the authority of the World Tree.

Within the coverage of the roots of the previous generation of World Tree, the Moonlight Queen can use the authority of the World Tree to call upon the power of the World Tree. This is a power that allows five ancient civilizations to fight for, and even destroy. Even if the power of the previous generation of World Tree is destroyed due to its main trunk

It was greatly weakened due to the destruction, but with the energy retained by the root system, Qingkong's strength can still easily reach super six-star strength.

And with the rapid growth of the new generation of World Tree, Qingkong's strength has the potential to reach the peak of the five ancient civilizations.

As the experience deepens... Qingkong feels that the authority of the World Tree that he received from the Moonlight Tree King is not the power that he initially understood, but the authority to use the super weapon of the World Tree.

Now this super weapon can only rely on the root system of the previous generation World Tree to be used in the Western Territory. I wonder what changes will happen after the Moonlight Tree King grows up?

Luke was looking forward to it.

The Boiling Combat Team rushed into the courtyard after killing Erguya. Seeing that the victory was determined, Earl Urd also sent out his strongest escort.

The Bloodsworn Barbarians and Abyss Mages, who were at a numerical disadvantage at the beginning, were able to hold on with several levels of strength. However, fighting without support greatly consumed their strength and mana. After being attacked by powerful units,

The defense line collapsed in an instant.

The army was defeated like a mountain. Without Erguya and Sylvia, the remaining barbarians and abyss mages were divided and surrounded, and were finally killed by random swords in what they thought was a night of victory.

The battle came to an abrupt end at a certain point, and the spacious courtyard was filled with corpses. Sun Yao City soldiers and imperial agents searched every house, either treating the wounded, or dragging out the enemy's corpses and throwing them into the courtyard.

On the open ground.

Count Urd held a roster and asked his men to hold torches to identify the corpses one by one. Only after confirming that it was him did he put an x ​​next to the corresponding name on the roster.

Luke took back the Taotie and stood on the sidelines to supervise the cleaning of the battlefield.

Boiling was sitting in the corner. He held the broken arm and placed it on the fracture. He used sandpaper and Kestrel's existing tools to make emergency repairs for Boiling.

Kuaishan has long hidden his traces and is hiding somewhere to monitor the whole crowd.

Xue Lai walked in from outside and came to Luke's side to report: "Mr. Governor, the results here have been sent to His Royal Highness the Princess. Your Highness asks you and Earl Urd to handle the affairs here as soon as possible and go to the castle.

Attend the meeting.”

Luke watched Count Urd counting the corpses, and at the same time asked Xue Lai: "What was the reaction of those Western nobles?"

"The sound of fighting here has ended. All the nobles of the Western Region have withdrawn their troops and obeyed His Highness's order...walked across the ice alone and entered the castle.

Sir, you have not seen that scene. The big shots were walking on the ice shivering like bereaved dogs. Some of them had bad legs and feet and fell several times, so they could only crawl towards the castle.

This time you have earned a lot of face for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

Pisco showed off his robotic arm and said in agreement: "I heard that the Western Region is very dangerous. Before I came here, I specially found sandpaper to give my arm a high-level maintenance.

Unexpectedly, the fight ended before it was my turn.

Sir, although I have been upgraded to a senior agent, if there is going to be a fight in the future, don’t just use sandpaper. A low-level agent like Boiling should also let me show off..."

Luke smiled and said: "Definitely next time!"

Xue Lai and Pisco, as old employees who followed Luke, their job levels increased with Luke's promotion.

In Pisco's eyes, Sandpaper is a maintenance worker and Boiling is a war machine. They are all ordinary secret service employees. Naturally, they cannot be compared with a senior spy like himself.

Luke didn't bother to explain to a fool like Pisco.

At this time, Earl Urd came over with a roster: "Your Majesty the Governor... After Erguya brought people into the quiet court, I sent someone to register their personnel.

Now after my personal verification, except for Abyss Apostle Sylvia, all barbarians and abyss mages are here."

"Sylvia is here!" Qingkong appeared at the side, she left Sylvia's body and turned around in a blink of an eye.

Luke took the list from the stunned Earl of Urd, read it over, and put an x ​​after Sylvia's name.

Then close the roster and hand it to Xue next to you to put it away.

"Earl, Her Royal Highness the Princess invited the nobles of the Western Region to the Central Island Castle for a meeting. The other nobles have arrived, but you and me are the only ones left.

I'll leave it to my subordinates to deal with it here, we don't want to keep His Highness waiting for too long."

"Yes, yes, yes... We cannot keep His Highness waiting. Please, Lord Governor!"

Luke and Earl Urd came to the lake. The lake in other directions was covered with ice, and only here there were ripples.

A magical rainbow bridge was released from the central island castle. The rainbow bridge quickly extended across the lake, and then a group of royal knights escorted a carriage and galloped across the bridge.

The war horse is covered with gold-embroidered cloth armor, and the forehead of the horse helmet is equipped with thorns similar to unicorn horns. The knight on the horse sits upright, holding a knight's sword upright in one hand, and an inlaid royal inscription in the other hand.

Knight's shield with family coat of arms.

The carriage is extremely gorgeously decorated. On the basis of the extensive use of gold ornaments and gemstones to highlight the royal majesty, the corners are often curved to show the graceful style of a royal princess.

The coats of the four horses pulling the cart are uniformly light golden. When they run, the horses' hoofs hit the ground and the wind swirls, leaving behind glowing hoof prints that take a long time to extinguish.

When the Magic Rainbow Bridge extended to the feet of Luke and Earl Urd, the royal knights and carriage arrived just in time.

The carriage turned around and the royal knights adjusted their ranks.

A female officer opened the door and stepped out of the carriage, saluting Luke and Earl of Urd respectfully: "The Governor of Meteor, Earl of Urd, His Royal Highness the Princess invites the two adults to attend the meeting of the Western Lords."

The standard of greeting was completely different from those of the Western nobles who walked alone on the ice.

Luke and Earl Urd entered the carriage and ran towards the Central Island Castle with the royal knights.

In the main entrance hall of the Central Lake Castle, a large long conference table is placed in the middle. A large candlelight chandelier hangs from the ceiling above, and the four walls are covered with torches. The fully armed guards are less than thirty.

Centimeters apart, they stood around the conference table, their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists, ready to pull them out at any time.

On both sides of the conference table sat the nobles of the Western Region who had been "invited" to attend the meeting. They squatted in their respective positions like mourning concubines, breathing carefully and not daring to have any communication, and quietly observing the people on the main seat from time to time.

That eldest princess.

Agatha was sitting on the main seat. She was wearing the armor given by the emperor, her golden hair was pulled into a princess bun, and she was wearing a princess crown that represented her status as the eldest princess.

Facing this group of Western nobles who had just made rude remarks and wanted to kill her, Agatha said nothing, but took a carving knife to carve a doll on a piece of wood.

The carving knife was very sharp, and there was no other sound in the hall except the sound of the blade cutting wood.

Suddenly the door of the hall was pushed open, and two teams of royal knights walked in surrounded by Luke and Earl Urd. The metal boots made a clanging sound when they stepped on the stone floor, and the armor and stomach made a squeaking sound.

Luke walked to Agatha's side, held up the roster with both hands, and said in a strong voice: "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, Earl Urd and I led the Imperial Secret Service and Sundial City sergeants to annihilate the lurkers after a battle.

The rebels entering Ri Yao Manor.

There are a total of 215 barbarians, 36 abyss mages, and 78 human slaves.

The rebel leader Erguya and the apostle Silvia of the Abyss were beheaded.

All rebel corpses were personally identified by Count Urd, and the personnel were consistent with the roster records.

Please review it, the eldest princess!"

Agatha placed the half-withered doll and carving knife on the table, took the roster handed over by Luke and looked at it carefully.

And asked: "Didn't anyone get caught alive?"

Luke replied: "The rebels refused to surrender and all died in the battle."

"That is to say... there is no way to ask who Erguya has met since he came to the Western Region?"

Luke replied: "I'm afraid I can't ask. Unless... someone who has met Ergu Ya takes the initiative to come forward and admit it."

Agatha looked at the nobles at the conference table.

The scene fell into extreme silence, and the nobles of the Western Region held their breaths as hard as they could, fearing that Agatha would notice them if they gasped loudly.

With a "pop" sound, Agatha threw the roster on the table, making everyone's hearts tremble.

Then Agatha stood up and said to everyone: "Your matter is very serious, but I don't want to make the situation in the West get out of control. I know your thoughts, but I don't want to talk about it, and I don't want to listen to you.

explain.

This meeting will be handed over to the deputy envoy, Governor Meteor.

I hope you can give me a satisfactory result so that the harvest festival can proceed smoothly."

After finishing speaking, Agatha turned around and left the venue accompanied by the female officers and guards.

Luke immediately sat on the main seat, then patted the seat on his left for Earl Urd to sit down.

Then Luke picked up the unfinished wooden doll on the table and looked at it. He smiled and asked the entourage behind him to take it away and return it to Agatha.

Xiaoshuting app

"Good evening, all lords of the Western Region! Her Royal Highness the Princess has entrusted me with the chairing of the meeting. I believe you all can understand Her Royal Highness's thoughts.

People all make mistakes!

Although you all had the idea of ​​offending the eldest princess, you did not take any action in the end, which shows that you still have awe of the empire. You knew your mistakes in time, corrected them, and saved your lives."

The eldest princess left the venue to avoid the direct collision between the imperial power and the power of the local lords, and the nobles of the Western Region knew that their lives were saved. This time, the Governor of Meteorite said it himself, which made the nobles of the Western Region let go of their worries.

The oppressive atmosphere relaxed slightly, and the nobles finally dared to move their bodies and slightly stretch their stiff muscles.

"But you all have to give the empire an explanation, right? Otherwise, if a small character comes to the Western Territory to lobby for a few words, you will be hot-headed and want to rebel, and the Western Territory will definitely not be left to your management."

All the nobles of the West looked at Luke and then at Earl Urd.

They haven't figured it out yet. I clearly have the advantage and the situation is great. Why did you betray me at this critical moment?

The empire wants to explain, but the situation is unclear. How can we explain it?

The nobles of the Western Territory who had saved their lives felt that the empire had to rely on themselves, the lords of the Western Territory, if they wanted to stabilize the Western Territory, so they gradually became bolder.

They all thought about how to escape from here. As long as they returned to their own territory safely, the Western Territory would still be the Western Territory for the nobles of the Western Territory.

There were more whispers and there was a buzz.

The atmosphere of the venue was changing rapidly, and the nobles of the Western Region who had recovered their breath felt that they were doing well again.

Earl Urd looked at the changes in the expressions of the nobles and knew that these idiots were about to make a fool of themselves.

In order not to let them implicate him, Earl Urd said: "My Lord Governor... The World Tree has revived and the Moonlight Court has been established in the Grassland of the Ancestors. This is a major event that affects the situation in the entire Western Territory.

You have a deep relationship with the Queen of the Moonlight Court, could you please introduce the newly established Moonlight Court so that we lords in the West know how to get along with this new neighbor in the future."

The sounds in the hall disappeared instantly, and all the Western nobles stretched their heads, pricked their ears, and looked at Urd with incredulous expressions.

Thought:

What did Urd just say? The World Tree is resurrected! The Moonlight Court is established in the Grassland of the First Men!

Did I hear it wrong, or are you talking nonsense?

The world tree that has been destroyed for thousands of years has revived. What are you kidding here?

Earl Urd knew what these nobles were thinking. If he hadn't sent someone to the First Men Grassland to verify, he wouldn't have believed that the World Tree would revive at this time.

In order to extinguish the luck in the minds of the nobles and accept the fact that the Western Territory is no longer the same as before, Urd said to the nobles: "This morning, the subordinate I sent to the Grassland of the First People came back and told me that he had seen it with his own eyes.

He encountered the resurrected World Tree and accepted the summons of the Moonlight Queen.

Now the news of the establishment of the Moonlight Court is being transmitted from the Ancestors Grassland to the entire Western Territory. The news will reach Sunlight City at the latest tomorrow morning.

Everyone, please recognize the reality!"

After hearing what Earl Urd said, if it weren't for the guards standing behind him, these Western nobles would have definitely rushed over and strangled Urd to death.

You got the news about the resurrection of the World Tree and the establishment of the Moonlight Kingdom on the Grassland of the Ancestors this morning. Why didn't you tell the meeting in Erguya?

You betrayed all the nobles of the Western Region just to seize this information window and sold us to achieve your credit.

Urd... Urd!

Do you still have the decency of a noble?

The nobles of the Western Region who had been deceived vomited blood in their hearts, but it was to no avail. If they put themselves in Urd's shoes, they would not do anything more honorable than him.

The most important thing now is to stop losses. There is no need to think about anything other than saving your life and family.

The nobles of the Western Region sat upright one after another, like primary school students waiting for instructions from their teacher.

In a short period of time, Luke was amazed by how quickly the nobles changed their faces.

He said: "About the Moonlight Royal Court... you only need to know that I am the chief assistant minister of the Moonlight Royal Court. The Moonlight Royal Court has no territorial disputes with you. Without the orders of me and the Moonlight Queen, the Moonlight Royal Court will not

Conduct any military operations abroad.

As the first assistant of the Moonlight Royal Court, I hope to build a railway connecting the Royal Court to the empire.
