"I said Roger, don't be so sullen. As long as your father abides by the agreement to cease the war for two days, I promise to send you back to him unscathed. Chewing a large piece of oatmeal bread in your mouth, Ole. Lina said to Gor Roger who was sitting blankly not far from her, and Gor Roger just gave her a helpless look and a wry smile in return.
Although Aurelina did not abuse him, the pain in his heart and despair for the future still made him miserable. Just like Aurelina said before, being captured by Monlie twice, his own luck It was really terrible, and what would his father think of his son, who was constantly disappointing and embarrassing him?
Even the food Aurelina is eating now was brought by his father with him as a hostage. Based on his understanding of his father, his father must be furious now, and he will also resent himself. , although I promised to cease the war for two days, it would be nice to have one day.
He knew very well that once he was really pressed, his father would not have too many scruples about his son.
In fact, Aurelina was not clear about his mentality, but her position was different. Not only could she not help, but she would step on him.
"Are personal desires, ambitions, and the attraction of the crown really that important? Are they so important that you completely ignore the feelings of your family?"
Putting down the food in her hands, Aurelina said quietly: "Anna has always called you brother. How can you bear to put her to death?"
This is not the first time she has said these words to Gor Roger. During the half year when Gor Roger was captured last time, she tried many times to influence him, but Gor Roger still just smiled bitterly and did not answer.
Aurelina sighed softly again. She knew that her nephew was already as irredeemable as her eldest brother.
In their hearts, although they may still have family and affection, they are not completely heartless, but when it conflicts with their ambition, they can all be discarded immediately. This is the so-called careerist.
Footsteps sounded, and Rebecca walked in from outside, with a somewhat worried expression on her face: "Although the emperor has stopped attacking, they are digging trenches and building simple wooden fences around us. We have a way out, but I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to break out.¡±
"This is what I expected. Godric can't be so obedient."
Aurelina said: "Now I just hope that Meng Lie can hurry up and find a way for us to retreat before these fortifications completely trap us."
"Don't be delusional. Neither the elves of Qinlan Moon nor the orcs of Rabino will let go of their borders and let you retreat to their countries."
At this time, Gor Roger suddenly said: "My father has made a promise to them. As long as they seal the border tightly and prevent you from entering, they will return part of the territory occupied by the empire to them afterwards. With such a promise, what do you think Meng Lie will gain?"
"Even if Anna promises them great benefits as queen, it can only be realized if Anna regains the throne. Otherwise, it will be empty talk. Now that the situation in the empire is clear, Anna has no chance at all. Between the benefits and the illusory promises, what choice do you think the elves and orcs will make?"
"So I advise you, aunt, to surrender. As long as you surrender sincerely, your father will not do anything to you. Even if Anna is a lifelong prisoner at worst, she will never be treated badly in life. It is better than now. It¡¯s much better to be on the run.¡±
"How dare you, Roger Roger, you dare to persuade me to surrender. You are very courageous. Not bad, not bad."
Aurelina laughed, but there was a hint of worry between her eyebrows
Damn it, Godric actually spent so much money. No wonder the elves and orcs have such clear attitudes. Can Meng Lie and the others succeed?
Even if you can¡¯t succeed, don¡¯t come back. Just take Anna back to the Eastern Continent.
At this moment, a line of ice passed across the sky, but it was the Acherus Death War Horse running wildly in the air. This time, the Death War Horse pushed its speed to the limit, as fast as lightning tearing through the sky. The Emperor had just discovered , before the air cavalry had time to take off to intercept, Meng Lie had already landed on the surrounded mountain.
"Your Majesty, it's the black knight and his flying horse again. They are back."
A general immediately reported to Godric: "There were several people when they left before, but only one returned. I'm worried"
Godric stood up and said: "I understand what you mean, you are worried about Aurelie"? will escape in this way, but based on my understanding of this sister, it is absolutely impossible for her to abandon her loyal subordinates and escape alone. But letting the black knight advance and retreat so freely is indeed a blow to the morale of our army. "
"I have contacted the Pope and asked him to send air cavalry to support, preferably the glorious dragon knight. Then I will want to see what kind of person that black knight is."
When they saw Meng Lie alone returning, Aurelina and Rebecca's expressions suddenly darkened, realizing that Meng Lie had probably failed.
"Where is Anna? Oh, you arranged for her to be in a safe place, so what are you going to do when you come back? Why don't you just take her away? If you stay here for one more moment, you will be in danger for one more moment."
Aurelina said eagerly to Meng Lie, but Meng Lie smiled slightly: "Why do you make it sound like your last words? Don't you want to leave here?"
Aurelina was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy: "Could it be that you succeeded? Did the elves agree to our request?"
Meng Lie nodded and said: "I have paid some price, but it is not too much. Within the scope of what you can bear, Anna has become the plenipotentiary representative of Queen Beatrice of Qinlan Moon as the Queen of the Holy Clear Sky Empire." Lord Nasiriya has signed an agreement, and you can immediately retreat to Qinlan Moon through the Green Wave Forest."
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible"
Gol Roger shouted excitedly: "How could those elves give up the tangible benefits my father gave them for the impossible promises made by Anna, the former queen? You Lying"
"The promises Godric made are indeed very tempting, but both Queen Beatrice and Lord Nasiriya are wise men who have lived for thousands of years. How could they be fooled by these mere petty gains?" ?¡±
Meng Lie shook his head at the excited Gor Roger, who shouted in disbelief: "This is impossible, they have clearly deployed troops at the border to prevent the rebels from retreating, so how could they suddenly change their minds? "
"Ah, I understand, I was really stupid and almost killed everyone"
Suddenly Aurelina let out a soft cry, and then she turned her hand and slapped herself several times, making her delicate cheeks turn red and startling Rebecca.
"I don't know the true purpose of those orcs, but the elves' verbal rejection at the border is just a gesture. They are waiting for a price, waiting for me to negotiate with them to get the maximum benefit from me. Damn, I should have thought of this a long time ago. With the wisdom of those near-immortal elves, how could they not see that allowing Godric to successfully control the Holy Clear Sky Empire and the great increase in the strength of the Good Church in the World would be extremely detrimental to them? ? Haha, it¡¯s true that they overestimated my wisdom and thought I could see this, but in fact I didn¡¯t. I thought they really wanted to cut off our retreat.¡±
With a long sigh of relief, Aurelina suddenly seemed to feel relaxed. She smiled at Meng Lie and said, "Your negotiation process must be very easy?"
"It's really easy. Almost as soon as we made the request, they agreed. They are waiting for us to come to their door."
Meng Lie said: "Even Queen Beatrice participated in the entire negotiation through magic. It didn't take much effort at all, and the agreement was signed without any argument. Qinlan Moon's demands are not excessive. Return them The occupied territory, the southern province needs to open a corridor for the sea elves to enter and exit, and so on. The most critical one is that they require to limit the development and power of all the good churches in the world. This is not difficult. Now the church is Where are your enemies?¡±
"It's not difficult now, because the Lord of Radiance will not interfere in the civil war of us mortals, but if Anna takes back the throne and clearly wants to limit the power of all the good churches in the world, then difficulties will come. These elves will not do anything at all. We suffer a loss and give us a big problem.¡±
Aurelina smiled bitterly and shook her head, which surprised Meng Lie: "I don't know much about the gods of your Western Continent, but it sounds like the Lord of Glory is the only one in the family, and other gods cannot restrain him. Yes, is he the king of gods?"
"Although it is not the case in name, it is almost the same in reality. Since the bloody battle between the gods a thousand years ago, the power and strength of the Lord of Glory has expanded rapidly, and the family has become the dominant one, not to mention those alien gods. Even if It is the other human gods who have also been suppressed by him, otherwise how could the church, which is all good in the world, be so rampant?"
Aurelina sighed: "However, despite the fact, since we have signed an agreement, we cannot violate it. The moon god of the elves is not easy to mess with. Forget it, let them be the gods."Let¡¯s confront each other, and we¡¯ll talk about the rest later.¡±
"There is something I have been wondering about for a long time and have always wanted to ask."
Meng Lie suddenly remembered something and said: "I found that there are many powerful people among the elves of Qinlan Moon. The powerful people I have seen who are equivalent to the level of the Great Magister include Queen Beatrice and Lord Nasiriya. You two, and presumably others, humans without the lifespan advantage should be unable to compare with them in this regard, so why do elves seem to be at a disadvantage in the battle with humans?"
"That's because although they are many powerful and far superior to us humans, in the end they are only mortals in power. In terms of racial gods, they are far from comparable to us humans."
The person who started to explain was the royal sister Rebecca. There was a kind of pride hidden in her delicate eyebrows: "A race like elves is both extremely talented and has a long life. It is almost perfect, but true perfection does not exist." Yes, their biggest weakness is that it is extremely difficult to become a god. The entire elven pantheon has only had ten gods in tens of thousands of years. After the bloody battle between the gods, only the moon god was left, and the demigods and immortals were not. Few, but what¡¯s the point of having more demigods in front of the real gods? On the contrary, although we humans are born with many shortcomings, we are by no means lacking in genius and hard work. From the small gods at the beginning to the current Western Continent In the first divine system, we human gods are already the first in number among the gods of all races. In this situation, no matter how many powerful mortals the elves have, they dare not use them casually, lest they offend our human gods, that No matter how powerful the Moon God is, he can't stand alone. The same is true for other powerful races such as the Dragon Clan. That's why we humans can become the number one force in the Western Continent with our weak bodies."
I see
Meng Lie nodded, no wonder, but it will be a big trouble when facing threats from gods in the future. I hope that the gods of the Western Continent will not directly intervene in the mortal world.
With the fall of night, the breakout and retreat operations were quickly launched. At the same time, they were careful not to be noticed by the emperor. Anyway, they only had a few hundred people left. They were flexible and did not need to spend time preparing.
Rebecca showed off her strength as a magician and blocked all the detection and surveillance magic aimed at this place. Meng Lie dispatched the Shenyin Assault Group that had not yet been reorganized and was not yet full. and the Free Champion Gladiators, led by Spartacus herself, found out all the Imperial scouts hiding in various parts of the hill in a short period of time and killed them, completely blocking the Imperial surveillance here. s eyes
When Godric, who was drinking in the military tent, heard the report from his subordinates, he immediately overturned the table, stood up, and loudly ordered: "The entire army must assemble and launch a full-scale attack on the rebels."
"Your Majesty?"
The generals around were a little surprised. Didn¡¯t they just agree to a two-day truce to Orelina? The day has not passed yet, why
"Based on what I know about Aurelina, she has begun to clear my eyes. She must take action. Don't give her a chance, otherwise things will change if she is too late."
"But Your Majesty, Your Highness the Prince still"
"I can't care less, and with Aurelina's character, she won't really be cruel to Roger. After all, he is her nephew and a bloodline of the Mitchell family."
Seeing that Godric had made up his mind, the generals and nobles no longer objected and immediately followed the order.
"What other tricks do you have up to your sleeve, Aurelina?"
Looking at the dark mountains in the distance, Godric whispered to himself
Although the Emperor's army is huge and a bit clumsy to mobilize, several elite troops have been assembled in a short period of time and began to attack the mountain, and rays of magical energy have been emitted from the mage, covering the mountain.
Pieces of halo flashed out from the mountain, looking particularly eye-catching in the darkness, but Manfred and other mages frowned, because this was not the scene that should be seen when the magic explosion they sent out. It seems like it was blocked by something.
"Is it Duchess Rebecca? I didn't expect that you, who had just been promoted to a magician, would have such power. It's a pity"
Manfred sighed softly, but at the same time the chanting of the spell did not stop. No matter what kind of affection he had for Rebecca, he could only let it go now. Neither he nor the Magic Guild behind him could bear it. Godric's rage
The mages seem to have a good status, but once it comes to reality, they still have to succumb to the secular royal power. At least they have families, family members or friends, so they cannot be truly carefree.
? One after another, light, flames or lightning representing different types of magic are constantly projected to the mountainside, and there, one after another, heavy weapons from the Roman legions.The armored infantry formed a turtle-shell formation with extremely powerful defense. Large shields were superimposed on each other to form a square "iron box" that enveloped the entire battle squadron to block the bombardment of these magics.
Led by the elite Roman garrison, the Roman Praetorian Guard and the Roman legionary infantry stood at several dangerous places on the mountainside, holding up their shields and covering the retreat of Aurelina's troops. Most of them did not complete the process within the law space. Reorganization, there are many missing personnel, but the Roman-style recurved shield, which is extremely powerful against magic, still allows them to stand firm in the intensive magic bombardment.
"Meng Lie, what kind of equipment are your subordinates using? This magic resistance is too terrifying."
Rebecca was shocked by the powerful defensive power of the Roman turtle shell formation and the magic resistance of the large shield. If all armies popularized such equipment, what would mages like them do?
Just as Meng Lie was about to answer, hurricanes suddenly tore through the dark clouds in the sky and swept down. A Roman Guards unit was swept up, the tortoise shell formation instantly collapsed, and dozens of soldiers were suddenly swept away by the hurricane. It was swept into the air, and the hurricane was still moving, sweeping towards other targets.
"It's 'Hurricane Tornado Break', one of Manfred's special magic spells, and he also did it himself"
Rebecca whispered, Meng Lie gritted his teeth and said: "It's almost done, Princess Aurelina, we can start."
Then he took all the Roman legion soldiers back to the law space. However, in this short moment of magical confrontation, they had suffered heavy losses. Even the elite guard legion only had less than one-third of the soldiers left. They The level is still not enough for them to resist such magic bombing for a long time.
By this time, all of them had moved to the other side of the hill, and everyone had mounted their horses. Aurelina nodded to Monlie and drew her sword out of its sheath.
"My loyal partners, our life and death depend on this, charge."
Pointing her sword, Aurelina took the lead and rushed out. Menglie also summoned all the cavalry units under his command, and then said to Joan of Arc, who was leading the French Holy Paladin Guards: "You are responsible for the charge of the first row. You must To tear a hole"
"As you command, my lord"
Joan of Arc raised her sword in salute, her delicate face full of perseverance and perseverance! If you think this site is good, please remember to help promote it! This site!
