After the crisis was resolved, the Li people retreated to the northern end of the Mitchell line of defense, and the high-level magicians sent by the Pope were responsible for rebuilding the line of defense and casting a more vicious curse. This curse was ineffective against the human race and specifically suppressed the blood of the orcs.
As long as the orcs of the Li tribe dare to cross the border, their skin will rot first, then spontaneously combust on the spot, and eventually explode to death.
King Monty mobilized the Golden Knights, and this war was a must-win situation. Carroll originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to grab some military exploits, but he unexpectedly failed. He could not defeat Gladstone, so he could only withdraw his troops and leave in frustration.
.
Gladstone was once the god of war in the army who wielded a sword to kill. He had a twelve-star commander knight's honor, which is currently the highest military rank. It is the only one in the entire kingdom. All active knights have this as the highest honor.
Most knights worship Gladstone far more than King Monty and the Pope.
Moreover, whenever a large-scale war breaks out between the Monty Kingdom and the Orcs, the King and the Pope will issue an emergency war order at the same time, and the country will enter a state of first-level alert. All major cities must form a coalition army in accordance with their obligations and hand over all assets unconditionally.
Centralized management of military power.
The position of supreme commander can only be held by Gladstone, not even King Monty.
His Royal Medal was also earned little by little through military exploits on the battlefield. Among the five powerful families in the main cities, only the Gladstone family is not hereditary, and Carroll was originally from a noble family and was a civil servant who was used to bickering.
Even a hundred brave men would not dare to confront Gladstone head-on.
When the two armies encountered each other in the small town of Laika, it was because they were afraid of Gladstone that they withdrew in a hurry.
Even though both sides had equal strength, Carroll still did not dare to use force with Gladstone.
After all the reinforcements from Star City and Sun Flame Tower were withdrawn, Gladstone deliberately retained the Beta City Lord of Whale Luo Island and held a banquet in honor of the four thousand knights she brought.
When Petersburg was in crisis, it sent letters to Star City and Sunfire Tower many times, but did not ask for help from Whale Island.
On the one hand, it is because there is a vertical and horizontal strait between Jingluo Island and the territory of Monty Kingdom, and transportation is not convenient, so one can only travel by bamboo rafts. On the other hand, there are no young and strong men on Jingluo Island, all of them are women, and their fighting ability is
It is very weak and does not even have a full strength of knights.
To reproduce offspring, one can only rely on deception, luring men from other main cities to Whale Island, or buying healthy slaves at high prices.
Of course, once you land on the island, you will never want to leave it in this life. Enjoying the beauty is out of the question, but it is true that you will die if you are exhausted.
In the end, Star City and Sun Flame Tower sat idly by, and Gladstone only waited for the 4,000 reinforcements led by the Lord of Beta.
In return, in addition to hosting a banquet, Gladstone also gave them food, seeds, weapons and baggage, and sent the most elite knights to help Whale Island reproduce their offspring.
After sending away the Lord of Beta City, Gladstone still has to face more difficult problems.
The 80,000 gold armor sent by King Monty had no intention of retreating, and instead set up camp outside Petersburg.
"What the hell? Go call Layton over and ask him what Monty wants to do? Just tell him if you have something to say and you're still coy with me?" Gladstone sent Dicka to ask General Layton to come in.
city.
"Lord Gladstone, don't be angry. I am also following orders. His Majesty the King asked me to take Princess Leia back to the royal city."
Facing Gladstone, Layton never dared to look him in the eyes, and explained tremblingly throughout, "I know your temper, I dare not ask you for Princess Leia, and I cannot go against the king's wishes, so
We have no choice but to station outside the city. When you are willing to entrust the princess to us, then I will dare to withdraw the knights to the royal city."
"What if I don't want to?" Gladstone raised his eyebrows and his face was gloomy.
"Lord Gladstone, please think twice. The coming of age ceremony is coming soon. You must not delay it. Before leaving, the king asked me to tell you that he will personally investigate the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Princess Leia. Once discovered, no matter who it is?
Just cut him in half."
General Leighton's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he was still trying to reason with Gladstone.
"Uncle, please don't embarrass General Leiden. Let me follow the Golden Knights back to the royal city." Leah changed into her purple robe and walked out from behind the screen, "I will be protected by golden armor and magicians along the way, so don't worry.
.”
"In that case, fine, Chen Feng, Leah, I'll leave it to you."
The coming-of-age ceremony is the key to determining whether Leia can become the new king? Gladstone does not want to delay her future.
But he believed in Chen Feng's strength. With him here, Liya would have no worries.
Gladstone walked towards the throne of the city lord, took off a beautifully carved dagger and handed it to Chen Feng, "This sword is called the Neutron Sword. It is my portable sword. In an emergency, it can mobilize all the daggers in the country."
Knights of the Sword.”
"Neutron sword?"
Everyone present was exclaimed, including Dika and Layton. Both of them had five-star knights and were not even qualified to touch the sword, but now this sword belongs to Chen Feng.
This Oriental doesn't even have a knight's insignia! But now he can use the neutron sword to mobilize lieutenants with five-star insignia and below at will. Even brigadiers with five-star insignia and above have to give him a little respect.
Eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred drifted towards Chen Feng invariably.
In full view of everyone, Chen Feng took the neutron sword, nodded and said: "Please rest assured, the sword is here, I am here, and the princess is here."
After Luan Jia received Princess Leia, the Golden Knights immediately gathered up camp and set off, traveling at night to return to King Monti, for fear of delaying the coming-of-age ceremony.
"This sword is exquisitely made and must be worth a lot of money." Chen Feng played with the neutron sword and praised it, "I think it must be worth more than gold and silver."
"The value of the Neutron Sword cannot be measured by money. It is faith, do you understand? In addition to the Templar Knights, all sword-wielding knights across the country have to obey its orders. In a sense, you are now
The supreme commander with millions of troops."
General Leiden was afraid of the neutron sword, and his attitude towards Chen Feng became respectful.
"What a bunker!" Chen Feng carefully wrapped the neutron sword in canvas.
"In addition to being able to mobilize troops and generals, it can also help the sword holder avoid the death penalty. This is also a compliment from the king and the pope to the supreme commander of the coalition forces." Seeing the neutron sword, Leiden's eyes glowed with gold, and he really wanted to reach out and touch it.
But I was afraid that it would tarnish the power of the sword.
"Is it so powerful? Then I have to keep it well. It can save lives at critical moments."
According to General Layton, the neutron sword is equivalent to a death-free medal. No matter how serious the crime is, it can avoid the death penalty.
"Are you really Gladstone's nephew? I was the one who looked down on others before. You must not be as knowledgeable as me." General Layton deliberately approached Chen Feng.
This is what is written in the files of Shenglan Magic Academy, but General Leiden never believed in Chen Feng's identity before and treated him as a slave. Now that he thinks about it, he is really blind to the truth.
"Oh, I understand. There are some unknown conflicts between Gladstone and King Monty. You can't directly enter the palace with Gladstone's noble status, so you can only pretend to be the slave of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
.”
When Chen Feng was just thinking about how to explain it, General Leiden put together all his guesses.
"General Leiden, you are really smart." Chen Feng was too lazy to explain, so he had to comply with his wishes.
"That's necessary. Our grades were among the top when we were in school. If you have anything to do in the palace in the future, please feel free to ask me."
After figuring out Chen Feng's identity, Leiden was unequivocal and decisively hugged him.
