When the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.
This unspoken rule is common in many places, even if this war is now very likely to affect two entire continents.
With formal identities and formal purposes, the three of Makarov were not treated abnormally in the Western Continent. After all, Makarov was not an unknown person, even if the "Albarez Empire" really had any bad ideas.
, and it is impossible to take action before they enter the palace.
That would be very disappointing.
When the three of them arrived at the Western Continent, it was almost evening, so after Makarov and the officials of the "Albarez Empire" revealed their identities, the three of them were temporarily arranged in a rather stylish hotel, and waited until
Only on the second day can we meet the king of the "Albarez Empire".
······
"The Albarez Empire is indeed extraordinary. I wonder what kind of person can lead such an empire?" At night, through the hotel, Makarov saw the prosperity outside and the powerful soldiers walking through the streets from time to time.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Compared with the "chaos" on Ishgar, there is only one country in the entire Western Continent, and that is the "Albares Empire". This is the strongest, or even the only, force in the Western Continent.
This is a true "super magic military empire".
It is conceivable that such an empire cannot be ruled by an ordinary person, so the king of the "Albarez Empire" must have amazing strength and great talents.
"Old man, didn't you say last time that Ishgar almost went to war with the "Albarez Empire"? Didn't you see the king of the "Albarez Empire" at that time?" Gildarts asked in surprise.
"No, the last time the war started, the king of the "Albares Empire" never showed up."
Ur, who was not far away, heard Makarov's words and couldn't help but curled his lips and joked. The last time the war started, the "King" was still floating on Sirius Island! If you can see it, it will be a ghost.
Almost there.
Time turns.
The next day soon came.
The three of them got up early and then changed into flashy clothes. After all, when meeting the king, you have to show something different...
Under the leadership of the guards, the three people quickly arrived at the palace.
There is nothing special about the palace of the "Albarez Empire". Compared with the palace of the Kingdom of Fiore, it is just a little bigger, a little more gorgeous, a little grander, a little more spectacular... it's just.
The three of them entered the palace smoothly, and did not encounter any soldiers blocking their way. Only one person was allowed in, as a test or something.
After all, Zeref is a legendary figure, and he still has this style.
"Meet King Spree!"
Entering the hall, Makarov performed all the etiquette, but in front of him, the so-called king "Split" did not sit on the throne, but stood in the middle of the palace as usual, with his back to Makarov
The three of them, Love, seemed to be thinking about something.
There were also many people standing on both sides of the red carpet in the center of the palace, but the first thing that caught a few people's attention was an old man with white beard and hair holding a wand at the front of both sides.
This person seems to be the most amiable person in the entire palace. Both his appearance and the aura he exudes are ordinary. But whether it is Makarov or Gildarts, the first time they saw this old man,
I couldn't help but feel a huge sense of threat in my heart.
Seeing this person, both Makarov and Gildarts instantly guessed the other person's identity.
One of the strongest among the "Fourteen Shields of the Saints" - Sorcerer King Olgaste.
In addition to these two people, there are several people in front of the crowd on both sides of the palace who are also very eye-catching.
There are even several acquaintances from "Fairy Tail" among them.
Just opposite Olgast and slightly below, there is also an old man standing. This old man's face is slightly thinner than Olgast. He wears an eyepatch on one eye and his gaze is slightly glazed.
Gloomily, he kept glancing towards the three "Fairy Tail" people.
It is Precht, the president of "Devil's Heart".
Behind him stood several members of the "Seven Families of Purgatory" including Urrutia.
Below Olgaste, there is a man of slightly short stature, wearing a strange mage robe, with tawny hair tied into a split ponytail. Gildarts has not seen this man often, but Macca
Love was very familiar with him. He was none other than the strongest of the "Ten Holy Magicians" who betrayed him from the continent of Ishgar - the God Selene.
The next person is a young woman with short green hair, two small horns on her head, and an unusually majestic chest - Poguo Brandish.
And close to King "Split", there is a man with glasses and extremely cold. Although this man seems to be just a secretary, the fluctuations of magic power emitted by him are not weaker than those of horses.
Karloff.
Neither Makarov nor Gildarts knew this man, and only Ur knew his identity.
He is also known as the Twelve Shields of the Saints... No, he should be one of the "Fourteen Shields of the Saints" now - General Winter Imber.
Behind Imber, there is a man with dark yellow skin who looks very out-of-the-box and is looking at Ur and others with interest. He is also one of the "Fourteen Shields of the Saints" - Desert King Agil
.
······
The fourteen shields of the "Albarez Empire" do not always stay in the palace, because the territory of the "Albarez Empire" is not a small place, and strong men need to be sent to guard many places.
However, even if there were only six "Fourteen Shields" in front of them, it was enough to shock Makarov and Gildarts.
Because in their perception, none of the six "Guardian Saints and Fourteen Shields" in front of them was weaker than the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Ishgar Continent.
One can imagine.
If it hadn't been for the intimidation of the Magical Council's "Magic Elf Power", I'm afraid the continent of Ishgar would have been breached by now.
And just when Makarov was shocked by the strength of the "Albarez Empire", the "Split" in front of the three people seemed to finally hear the voice coming from behind, and slowly turned around...
····
The next second.
Makarov and Gildarts' pupils suddenly shrank sharply.
Obviously, the two of them never expected that they would see this face here.
