"A few months ago, the Fortress of Dawn fell to thieves and lost contact with the kingdom. Even Earl Asay of Greenland County could not find out what was going on. Finally, two weeks ago, a group of gryphon knights cruised in at night, and when they were about to die,
I’ll find out some things later.”
"Between the original twin fortresses of Dawn, the thieves have begun to build a huge palace. According to Takashi's magical image analysis, its basic part is basically equivalent to the size of the former Great Light Temple."
Before Haibo could finish speaking, Beita had already responded and her expression turned solemn.
"Great Bright Temple? Haha, the ambition is really quite big!"
Hearing this, the count couldn't help but sneer.
The headquarters of the Church of Light at that time was the Great Temple of Light, which was also where the three sacred objects of the Holy Spear "Longinus", the Holy Grail "Archimedes" and the Holy Emblem "Hilundel" were enshrined.
After the Church of Light was destroyed and the last pope and cardinal were all martyred, this magnificent palace that had represented the supreme glory of the God of Light since its birth was also demolished. Not only the dismantled bricks and stones were completely smashed
, even the foundation of the main hall was completely hollowed out, leaving no residue.
The three sacred objects enshrined in the temple, the Holy Emblem Hillendel belonged to the royal family, and the Holy Spear Longinus was collected by the Duke of the Storm Sea at that time.
Only the Holy Grail Archimedes was left behind and its fate was unknown. It was not until a few months ago that he reappeared during the battle to kill the Death Preacher, shocking the world.
"What is Her Majesty's will?"
After each looking at the eldest princess and the prince, Moriarty asked.
"Your Majesty is very worried about the rebellious behavior of the thieves, and has convened meetings with the Prime Minister, the Minister of Military Affairs, etc. for several days to discuss countermeasures. However, at present, the domestic disaster is not over, and the Dawn Fortress has fallen into the hands of the thieves. It is difficult to capture it for a while. It is indeed a bit weak and makes people helpless.
." This issue is quite sensitive. After looking at each other, Haibo smiled bitterly and said: "That's why Your Majesty is looking forward to your visit to the Royal Capital, Viscount."
"The Church of Light is powerful. Even if I am alone, it will not help."
Moriarty shook his head, seemingly helpless.
"No, in addition to you, His Majesty also sent a note to Brakada's allies. Judging from the letters we have received so far, at least three great arcanists will visit Standwell."
With a slight smile, the eldest princess turned over a hole card.
"Three great arcanists!?"
Earl Salk was immediately startled.
"Yes, one of them is an 'acquaintance' of Viscount Reinhardt." Bettitta nodded and said directly to Moriarty: "It's Mrs. Azure."
"Oh? I haven't seen the Lord of the City for a long time."
Moriarty tensed slightly, as if he had thought of something.
"So, including you, Viscount, we are the four great arcane masters. Together with the original strong men of the temple in the kingdom, they are enough to wipe out the Thief Cult and knock it into the abyss again!"
Like a confident warrior, Haibo stood up and declared loudly as if he was victorious.
However, both Moriarty and Salk were somewhat indifferent to this. The old earl did not even cast a glance, and the prince couldn't help but sit down in embarrassment.
"The struggle between the two of you and the Church of Light will be difficult, repeated, and long-term, and it is almost impossible to achieve it overnight. Therefore, both the royal capital and the local area must make sufficient ideological and material preparations to fight against the enemy town by town.
Fighting for each other." After pondering for a moment, Moriarty finally said: "The four great arcanists do seem to be extremely powerful, but when placed opposite the god, they are so insignificant that they are not worth mentioning. Even if the god has fallen asleep or even
Although it has fallen, the divine power it left behind cannot be underestimated."
"Viscount"
"The evil disaster has not been eliminated, the Dawn Fortress has fallen, and the true strength of the Church of Light is still hidden below the water. Under such conditions, if we engage in a strategic decisive battle with the enemy, even if we win, the price will be heavy. By then, the whole kingdom will be damaged. If Krulod
If Dejia is in trouble, I'm afraid the disaster will be even worse."
When they heard the names of Krolod and Deja, both the eldest princess and the prince's expressions changed, and then they remembered that these two "good neighbors" of Erathia were both slightly damaged in this demonic invasion.
Behemoth, in particular, is said to have just completed the new king's battle. It is the moment when the top and bottom are unified and the momentum is strong. If the third "Punic War" really starts, Erathia may be in danger.
.
"So, I think the most important task now is to defeat the demons and drive them out of the country, so that Erathia can regain stability and restore its national strength as soon as possible. As for the Church of Light, it focuses on overall containment, supplemented by local strikes and elimination.
.In particular, we must be wary of its wanton expansion and spread among the people, as that is the real threat that shakes the kingdom’s ruling order.”
"Viscount, your discussion is really insightful and shocking. I will sort it out and send it to Standwell as soon as possible for His Majesty's judgment."
After being stunned for a while, Betty and Haibo came to their senses. They looked at each other with shock on their faces.
Until now, regarding the issue of the Church of Light, the war faction still accounts for an absolute majority among the highest decision-making levels in the Royal Capital. However, Moriarty's words completely negated the decisive battle strategy that he had initially formulated.
It was completely reasonable and really shocked the two envoys who knew the inside story.
"This is just my personal suggestion for reference only. However, in response to what I just said, I have already started to implement some 'small measures' in Kent County. I can take this opportunity to discuss it with the two adults."
With that said, Moriarty took out a scroll from his sleeve and placed it in front of Betty and Heber.
Earl Salk next to him saw it and couldn't help but sigh, but didn't say anything.
After giving Moriarty a confused look, the eldest princess stretched out her hand to uncover the scroll and looked at its contents with the prince.
There was silence in the room for a while, but gradually strange expressions appeared on the faces of the viewers, until their eyebrows were tangled and their faces were covered with sweat.
Five days later, Princess Betty and Prince Heber returned to the royal capital, still escorted by a portion of the Guards Corps led by "Golden Griffin" Cairns.
However, compared to when they came, there was a small group of knights who were fully armed and had the "Golden Lion Heart" badge on their chests. Among them was an exceptionally tall and majestic figure, with a terrifying serrated sword on his back.
The mount is also as huge as a monster, and it is the death knight Gauguin disguised as "Lolerei's Feather of Transformation".
After this period of unremitting practice, especially with the assistance of the "negative energy room" specially built for him, Gauguin has returned to the peak level of the twelfth level, and at the same time, the original "death freezing air" has also greatly improved to the "negative energy room".
"Wind of Energy" Transformation.
Even Keynes couldn't help but frown when he saw this strange knight shrouded in black tower-like armor. (To be continued.) ◆ Just click on the ground and the cloud will come to the pavilion to get the view. ◆ Mobile phone users please
