Black Scepter Chapter 56: Premeditated war
There is no reason for war. From a certain perspective, it is just a derivative of human desire and a necessary process. From ancient times to the present, this violent process has always promoted the development and progress of human beings-relative to those who like peace. Human race is always one of the most advanced species.
For the Fording Empire, war is usually a feast for the noble knights.
The letter to Christine’s territory "Korn" was quickly answered. For the safety of the owner of the territory, the rich territory was willing to pay 80,000 gold coins to ensure the safety of Mrs. Christina, including weapons , Gold and silver, jewelry and crystal nuclear magic props, etc., Morpheus did not ask for too much, the reason is naturally the subsequent plan.
Compared to the five carriages brought by Earl Watley, Mrs. Christina’s ransom was only full of two, and on the day these ransoms were delivered, Morpheus took the pile of property and Kristina directly to the jade. Leng Cui hurried away without stopping.
While Earl Watley was still considering whether to send troops to search and rescue Christina, Morpheus had returned to Emerald Town within two days!
At this point, this widow who was dragged here from the Fording Empire understands what abacus this guy is fighting-he is just initiating the war between the Fording Empire lord and the Byzantine army!
In the first place, it is completely unimportant how the unknown widow appeared in the sacred Gabriel empire at the level of the national army. It is enough for the two countries to provoke a fight. Military confrontation!
If you don’t fight, let’s say that the Fording Empire will never bow down on diplomatic issues. As a veteran powerhouse, Fording is qualified to not be afraid of any diplomatic friction!
Kristina knows the history and temper of Earl Watley-if Baron Hun’s death just aroused his personal hatred for Morpheus, then this time he was kidnapped to Byzantine, if he really wants to come It will be crazy to pull the entire nobles of the Fordine Empire to face the Byzantine sacred Gabriel, which is not impossible.
In other words, just armed confrontation is enough for some people to fish in muddy water...
For the Earl of Watley, the disappearance of that strategic partner has caused him a lot of grief recently, but another thing that happened immediately is what caused him to explode.
His eldest son, Pamela, was attacked when he went out to hunt, and his limbs were broken. Although he finally saved his life, he wanted to recover. It is estimated that it is not a year and a half. It contains no hope, more importantly if
The root of the disease has fallen, so this heir may be a waste person for the rest of his life!
Who did it?
According to the entourage and guards, the attacker was a blood clan who descended from the sky and opened his wings to kill the guards who were trying to protect Pamela. The content of this letter is very simple. It is a war book written by Morpheus.
Provocative?
Morpheus directly mocked Earl Watley in the letter as a coward who would only stand behind the scenes to buy mercenaries, and said Christina was in her own hands, wanting to clean me up?
Do it yourself!
The Earl of Watley is really angry this time-the Lord of the Fording Empire has never been afraid of the matter. The Byzantine Empire is now using force against Caslandi, which means that as long as it has one more enemy, the whole The Byzantine empire will get one more point, so it is in line with Morpheus's expectations. The Lord Lord of the border of the Fording Empire directly asked the fastest messenger to send his request to the Lord of the Fording Empire, Louis VI, and in the third The answer was received in days.
The short-guarding king gave an answer that was very satisfying to Earl Watley-the troops should be sent as soon as they were sent.
The unscrupulous Earl directly mobilized the soldiers in the territory, and even with a special guard mobilized by His Majesty the King, he rushed straight to Feileng Cui!
Louis VI has long been looking for a suitable reason to weaken the military strength of the superpower Byzantine. This time Earl Waterley also gave him a logical excuse for the total number of "Sword Oak Knights" with more than 2,000 people. Belonging to the royal family, it has more than 700 official Fording heavy armor knights and 1,500 Hutongs, known as the Empire’s third armored cavalry regiment, and its deterrent power is greater than its combat power. Although it does not appear frequently on the battlefield, it has never been an Empire Iconic presence.
Their appearance means that the Fording Empire has already expressed its attitude.
The ancient and proud Fording Empire never bluffed, just as the more than 2,000 Imperial Guards led the three infantry groups and one cavalry group with more than 7,000 men under the Earl of Watley to the Byzantine border. Into the track, just like a chariot, it cannot be stopped.
"War between two people, war between two countries, I really want to thank you for providing me with a reason."
The Earl of Watley looked at the mountain that was about to overturn and said softly, the horse under the crotch moved quietly, and the army stretched to the foot of the mountain.
War means opportunity and wealth in the eyes of this count...
Morpheus looked at the map in front of him seriously. The candlelight stretched his shadow, and the thin needle pinned to the map pulled out a radial shadow of the cobweb.
"Why did the heretical verdict send you to such a place?"
He didn’t look back and asked the knight Jeanna behind him. This high-level knight is just like an ordinary woman at this moment, except that a slightly short robe and those godless eyes are very not. Tune.
Silent.
Let Na not seem very cooperative, Morpheus is also used to her attitude.
"One of the Big Three?
It seems that your level is not low, but then you may need to help me do something. "
Morpheus didn't care either, nor would she think of Mrs. Prague, one of the three giants of the official ruling agency that assigned Jeanna's mission-and the latter was the unlucky egg that had been flied out by him.
"I refuse."
"Of course, I know that the freaks from the heretical ruling will not be afraid of torture, and I don’t expect you to do things for me very happy. After all, for you now, death is just a matter of time, such as you are annoying now After me, I can kill you with a sword, it is not more difficult than hacking ordinary people, is it?"
Morpheus still didn't look back, circled a circle on the map, staring there softly.
Jeana didn’t answer. She saw people still busy all around. This is the ruins of Fort Kosenyi. The guy in front of him can kill the Kasker mercenary and his team. Regardless of everything, it can even be said to be crazy-it can make the high-ranking executioners of the heretical judgment feel that "crazy" can only say that the current Morpheus has been recognized to some extent.
"You want to make this a quagmire of war, but you think you will not fall into it if you stand aside?"
Janna's voice was hoarse, and her words always carried onlookers' indifference. "Everyone who thinks he is in control of the winning game is likely to have fallen into the trap of others. I think your plan is not shrewd. "
"I never thought my plan was savvy. Just as the traps I used for hunting were not so precise, why are there so many animals that will fit?
Because they are not smart enough? "Morpheus removed a thin pin on the map and inserted it in another location. "It's very simple. When the temptation is large enough, no matter how careful the prey is, it will risk betting. "
Jane was speechless, and countless war history has confirmed that Morpheus is correct.
"War is just a game for lords and monarchs. On a certain level, they have nothing to fear, a just war?
It’s just the **** tags that a group of war dealers put on themselves. "
"Then your behavior?"
"Me?"
My purpose is to make this group of war-mongers lose their blood. "
Morpheus reached out violently, took out the scepter of Sulfuras that had not been used for a long time, and suddenly waved in front of Jeanna. The elemental power oscillating in the air made any dark creature palpitate abnormally.
Including Jeanne.
"The heretical ruling should not miss a war caused by the greatest heresy, can it?"
When Morpheus said this, those blue eyes lost their former luster, but they were enveloped by a strange layer of black mist.
Let Na kneel on one knee while struggling, nothing more...
The unprecedented history of the election of the new Pope of the Holy Gabriel Empire lasted for half a month~IndoMTL.com~ That shocking result has been somewhat dull to this day, the Vatican Holy See has restored the calm of the past, St. Peter’s The building opposite the church was temporarily relocated, and the ruins of the heretical ruling that stood for nearly a thousand years were shrouded in huge curtains, so that believers could not see the tragic scene inside.
And lower than the Pope... No one would think that the new successor would be the oldest Bruno of all the existing Cardinal. This is the result of the final compromise of the Cardinals after more than fourteen votes. The meaning is not difficult to guess-as Bruno, who can already completely give up the competition for the pope, his upper position means the beginning of a new wave of undercurrents within the Holy See.
Bruno, the weakest and oldest in "Cardinal", said that his life should be appropriate soon. Instead of being a new pope, it is more appropriate to become a "transitional pope". His ambitions have been smoothed and specialized by practice. Bruno, who studied the scriptures, was not willing to spend too much energy on politics, so a series of actions after his succession have been covered up by another rising star.
The Cardinal Council will not be more than 120 full. This group will always be His Majesty’s right-hand man in dealing with affairs and has the right to elect the Pope in accordance with the law-and Giovanni, who was the former Pope’s servant, After review and discussion, he became one of the members because of his pious attitude and outstanding contribution to the Holy See over the past ten years.
