During the previous plague, most of the nobles hid in the castle and manor. Because of this, for many people present, this was the first time they saw this supernatural power.
Compared with ordinary civilians, the nobles had a completely different reaction when faced with this force...
...
"This... this... it can see me? It can see us!"
"It's too outrageous..."
"Magic! This...this is magic!"
"It's really omnipotent..."
Everyone in the room was once again shocked. These usually aloof lords let out one after another exclamations, but at this time, the sounds contained more of an uncontrollable fear and worry than excitement.
Campbell stared at the crystal ball, his expression also in a trance. The power of the wizard group was beyond his imagination.
'Can the scepter obtained through this power really be my own scepter?'
He pulled Heath and said: "Heath, my partner, with your help, my army will be invincible and everything will be leveled. You will help us, right? You will, right!"
The kindness and enthusiasm are like two close friends who are close to each other in life and death.
Heath shrugged: "It's an honor."
The mood of the nobles relaxed a little.
No matter how powerful this force is, as long as it can be controlled, it will be their friend. Wizards care about magic rather than power. This must be the case...
The atmosphere quickly relaxed, and it was as if the previous tension had never happened.
Heath got to the point: "What areas need to be looked at?"
The total amount of magic power required for a formal level spell is unimaginable. Even if it is forcibly cast with the help of magic arrays and materials, he will not be able to sustain it for long.
A knight handed over a sheepskin map with several marks marked in red circles.
"Crack, snap, snap!"
Under Heath's control, the crow flapped its wings and flew out of the window, quickly flying towards the dense forest in the distance.
Soon, the crow came to the first circled place, which was the entrance of Campbell to Dusk Crow Ridge. It was a narrow path less than two meters wide, with hillsides of about three to five meters on both sides. The hillsides were crisscrossed by
Covered by large trees and thick weeds.
The crow flew back and forth in the area through the dense foliage, and soon made a discovery.
It was on both sides of the hillside, and there was an army clearly hidden in the thick weeds. They were wearing green leather soft armor and surrounded by various instruments such as crossbows, rolling stones, and even kerosene.
A murderous look.
The crowd was in an uproar.
"As expected! The despicable Bamke really has no good intentions!"
"He is just a dog and has no credibility!"
Campbell behaved very calmly, so it was not too surprising. At this point in the war, it was simply unrealistic to expect his brothers to follow tradition and maintain honor.
He looked into the crystal ball and asked, "Can you hear what they're saying?"
On the screen, several soldiers were lying on the lawn chatting about something. Judging from the language and expressions, it seemed that the topic was related to the ambush.
"Can."
Heath nodded, and then controlled the crystal ball to rest on a big tree near the soldiers. He then turned his finger to draw a rune, and then he heard bursts of voices coming from the crystal ball.
come out.
"Hahaha, when Campbell fled here in embarrassment and saw our army suddenly coming out, I wonder what his expression would be like?"
"That bear boy must be very desperate!"
"It would be great if I could chop off Campbell's head. For 100 gold coins, I can buy ten top-quality female slaves even if I go to the deep water port."
"Speaking of which, I haven't played with a woman for a long time. I must have a few days of fun before entering Gray Castle..."
The conversation that follows is not nutritious.
'A backhand ambush?'
Campbell said: "Go to a few other places and have a look."
The crow flapped its wings and flew away, circling and quickly flying to several other places marked by circles on the map. Without exception, these places had varying numbers of armies hidden. After connecting them, they formed a perfect formation on the map.
A circle surrounds the entire Hunyao Ridge. Once you enter it, you will undoubtedly...
Catching a turtle in a urn!
"Despicable! Despicable Bamke, he even dares to act recklessly on guest etiquette!"
"Shameless people will be punished!"
All the nobles in the room were filled with righteous indignation. According to the rules, the two warring armies must abide by the 'guest etiquette' when they meet for negotiation. No matter how deep the hatred is, they cannot use weapons during the negotiation. Bamke's approach is obviously out of bounds.
Campbell said to Heath: "His, I, Campbell, never express my gratitude easily, but at this moment I must sincerely thank you on behalf of my army. You allowed us to make the right choice."
His words quickly attracted everyone's attention, and the nobles all looked at Heath. Although they were still afraid and worried, they were more grateful at this time. After all, it would be difficult for them to judge without Heath.
Should I participate in this negotiation?
Immediately, Campbell's eyes fell on the map and sarcastically said: "I always thought that only that ugly guy Seth would play tricks in the holy war, but I didn't expect that Bamke was also infected. It seems that this dog was scared by us!
"
Seth is the seventh son of the old Duke. He is the younger brother of Louis who died earlier. He is said to be the smartest among all the princes. Unfortunately, he is not very popular because of his physical disability, so he did not participate in this battle for the king.
.
His expression was full of contempt and disdain: "But does he think he can win by using despicable means? Ares never protects despicable people!"
Everyone shouted:
"The god of war does not protect the despicable people!"
"The god of war does not protect the despicable people!"
Many people in this world believe in gods, from nobles to street beggars and even some wizards. The gods believed in in the Gray Woodland are mainly ancient gods, and Ares is one of them.
, the legendary god of war who presides over war.
A nobleman said: "I will chop off the head of the messenger right now to let Bamke know how powerful we are!"
The two armies are fighting without killing each other, and if one side violates tradition and chops off the head of the other side's messenger, it means completely giving up the possibility of negotiation and peace, and the war will continue until one side is eliminated, without ending.
Seeing that Campbell was ready to mobilize for war, but at this moment, the elderly Baron Barrow suddenly said: "No, we can't do this."
After a pause, he said to Campbell: "We should ask the messenger to go back with the message now and tell Bamke that we agree to negotiate."
Agree to negotiate?
All the generals in the room were stunned, and Campbell looked at Baron Barrow with a puzzled look. He thought he had heard wrongly. He knew it was a trap but still rushed in. This
What does it mean?
But soon, someone reacted.
Heath looked at the elderly nobleman curiously and guessed: "Do you mean..."
A shrewd look flashed across Baron Barrow's eyes.
He smiled like an old fox: "Hahaha, since Bamke wants to abandon honor and courage and turn to despicability, then we might as well let him know the price of despicability..."
