The Crimson Knights did not stay in Rios City for too long. When night fell on a new day, Ronstadt led his knights to leave this undercurrent city.
Wherever there are people, there will be ambitions and conspiracies. Although Ronstadt withdrew from the creek in Rios City and continued to move forward in the swamp of Dawn Guard, he stepped into another surging river.
Just because of the appearance of the son of the King of Heroes, his fate, and even the fate of the entire Crimson Knights, deviated from the original route and embarked on another road that was more rugged, but perhaps more glorious.
On the city wall of Rios City, Aranza faced the rays of the morning sun and watched Ronstadt leave. Behind him, in addition to two companions shrouded in cloaks, there were also others who were ordered by Ronstadt to stay and help Alan.
Sadikaton, Aryan, and fifty soldiers of the Crimson Knights.
After the absolute display of force, an invisible dividing line was formed in everyone's minds. Aranza did not speak, and the people behind him would never speak to break the silence.
When the silence that filled the crowd was about to be suffocated, Aranza finally turned his head away from the morning light, and the light full of rich autumn flavor danced around his body.
Caton, Aryan, and the fifty Crimson Knights warriors standing in line behind them all subconsciously straightened their bodies when those seemingly light blue eyes were about to slide toward them.
The corners of Aranza's mouth curled up slightly. The subtle changes in the air did not escape his eyes, but he was very satisfied with the effect. He coughed a little and said, "Well, I think you all already know my true identity.
Already."
Aranza intended for Lundstedt to reveal something to his subordinates.
The first person to respond was Caton. He took a step forward and his body slightly enlarged in Aranza's eyes. His face was a little serious, but more of a stiff look. He walked over to Aranza and bowed slightly, saying: "Caton
·Gigerint, under the orders of the captain, I am here to obey your instructions, Your Highness."
Aranza nodded with satisfaction.
Behind Caton, Aryan also took a step forward, but the look she looked at Aranza was not as pure as Caton's. There was something about girlish feelings mixed in it that even Aryan himself could not figure out.
In fact, she hated Aranza so much. She didn't expect that his identity would be so colorful, and she was even more annoyed at her own stupidity. When she first met Aranza, she should have seen the clues from the other person's series of questions.
That's it.
It wasn't until Ronstadt gathered all the members of the Crimson Knights for a meeting last night and announced Aranza's identity that Aryan belatedly screamed out. And in the eyes of Ronstadt, she knew what she was doing.
This feeling has another layer of meaning. If Aryan could discover Aranza's identity earlier, their fate might not be forced to take another path, but as things are now, Longstader will not regret anything.
.
Aryan's eyes were unwilling to scratch at Aranza's sickly white face, and he said: "Me too, Your Highness!"
In response, Aranza just nodded in response without saying anything extra.
On the contrary, Aryan deliberately let out a disdainful snort, crossed his arms, stared at Aranza and said, "What do you want us to do?"
Aranza's expression did not change at all. He did not care about Aryan's little temper. He walked a few steps and pointed behind everyone. From here, he could see the situation inside Rios City in the direction Aranza pointed.
, there is the central square of Rios City, and a wide stone road connected to it. At the end of the road, there is another gate of Rios City.
His fingertips finally came to rest on the closed city gate. Due to the location where it was built, few people passed through this gate. Therefore, in the past history of Rios City, except for some large festivals every year, this gate was
The door is almost always closed. When the Ferrag Legion was still stationed in the city of Rios, Ronstadt wanted to attack the city of Rios through this gate, but in the end, because his whereabouts had already been discovered by the Ferrag Legion, the surprise attack effect
Not much, so I simply gave up the plan.
But now, Aranza was eyeing the city gate again. A hint of cunning suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Well, I want to build a large magic portal there. The best effect is that if an enemy comes from there,
When the Taoist attack came in, it was teleported to another place without even having time to find anything strange. Moreover, the time limit for building this large magic portal is, I hope, within ten days at most."
"How is this possible!"
Before he finished speaking, Aryan screamed first, her voice rising an octave, and said: "Let's not talk about whether we have the ability to build a large-scale magic portal. How much magic is needed to build that thing?
Crystal?! The Crimson Knights don’t have that many reserves, not even the entire city of Rios. Moreover, what are you trying to do by building that thing? Apart from the Awakeners over the border, do we have other enemies to guard against now?
"
A large magic portal, as the name suggests, is a large teleportation magic circle that can allow dozens of people to cross space at the same time. Of course, the manpower and material resources required to build it are also unquestionable.
Aryan really couldn't think of any reason to expend energy on creating such a large magic portal.
"Ahem!"
At this time, Caton coughed discordantly, turned his eyes, and looked away pretending to be nonchalant.
Aranza glanced at Caton slightly, and then back to Aryan. Only then did he take a closer look at the woman in front of him. Her skin was a healthy wheat color, and most female mercenaries had such a complexion.
This is true even for the precious female magician among the mercenaries. However, under such category comparison, Aryan's specialness has lost its advantage in Aranza's eyes. Perhaps there is an inseparable connection between her and Lundstedt.
Her past made Ronstadt regard protecting her as his principle.
A faint smile appeared on Aranza's lips, and she said, "Well, don't let your guard down at any time... As for the materials for building a large magic portal, they are here."
Following the words, Aranza stretched out her hand forward. The treasury ring that was once worn on Jiexi's hand flashed in the light of the morning sun. Then, with Aryan's disdain on his face, the first magic crystal fell out of it.
, until Aryan finally had an expression of disbelief on his face, the magic crystals on the ground had already piled up into a hill as high as one person!
Aranza smiled deliberately and asked, "Well, are these enough?"
The magic crystals in this place are not only enough, but more than enough. Even Caton and the fifty soldiers behind him were shocked and speechless. They had never seen so many magic crystals.
If you convert these magic crystals into gold coins, there will be at least 50 million gold coins! And more importantly, in the war-torn times, magic crystals represent far more wealth than gold coins!
Unexpectedly, although Aryan was frightened by the sudden appearance of looking at the wealth in front of her, she still continued her little temper for no reason, making things difficult for Aranza, saying: "Okay.
, Okay! The materials are enough, but what about the manpower? Where can we find so many magicians to build large portals?"
Hearing this, Aranza looked strange and said, "Well, isn't that you?"
"Just me?"
Aryan's face darkened and he almost cursed a curse word commonly used by mercenaries.
"Well, of course not. There are a lot of nobles in Rios city, and there must be magicians among them. Just catch them all. Of course..." Aranza didn't pay attention to Aryan's tone. His eyes turned slightly and fell on him.
Looking at the motionless petite figure under the cloak, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Of course... I will leave someone behind to help you."
Aryan understood what Aranza meant. Her eyes also turned and fell on the figure that Aranza was paying attention to. Her eyes narrowed into a narrow slit, but her attitude suddenly changed and she said: "Okay, that's it."
"Well, that's it."
Aranza nodded, not paying attention to the details.
Then the two of them discussed the specific construction plan of a large magic portal. Although Aranza was not proficient in magic and had no talent in this area, he arranged every detail extremely carefully, so that Aryan was in his
He had to be careful with his words, and his ears were not slack in capturing Aranza's words, for fear of missing some key parts. The other party's seriousness gave Aryan a hunch that Aranza was definitely not doing this.
It's useless, so this large magical portal, which obviously cannot be missed, will definitely play a vital role in Aranza's plan.
On the contrary, Katon was standing on the side, listening to the discussion between the two, unable to understand the reason at all, but he did not dare to leave without authorization, so he looked drowsy.
After a long time, when Aranza couldn't find any more omissions, Caton was relieved. However, the next news made Caton's nerves tense up. Aranza stood up and scrawled the drawings.
He handed Aryan the magic paper with various precautions written on it. At the same time, he turned to look at Caton and said, "Well, don't look so sleepy. Aryan stays here, and you are still here.
Among the soldiers here, half of them will go to Alice Fortress with me, and the other half will stay to help Aryan."
"Alice's Fortress?!"
Not only was it stuck, even the Aryans couldn't help but scream. This place name seemed extremely sensitive at this time, because there was only one day left before the ultimatum issued by the Mercenary Union to the Thorn Mercenary Group.
, and the Thorn Mercenary Group stationed at Alice Fortress has not shown any intention of compromise so far.
However, when the two people thought about Aranza's identity, they were a little surprised. Aryan may not have thought of it, but Caton was not stupid. Longstader asked them to stay to help Aranza. Another meaning, naturally, was that
, the Crimson Knights and the Thorn Mercenary Group have reached an alliance.
"Katon Gigerent, at your command!"
Carton came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and answered with a firm voice. This time, he no longer bowed slightly in a polite manner, but knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to Aranza as a monarch.
.And behind him, the soldiers of the Crimson Knights also knelt on one knee in front of Aranza in the same way.
This was not because they were disloyal to Lundstedt, but rather it strengthened Lundstedt's position.
