Chapter 638

Marfa fortress, the core of the northern section of the line of defense in the east of Sasan.

Oroksia walked alone in the dark corridor. Her delicate half high-heeled boots trampled on the stone slab and sent out crisp "Da" and "Da" vocal cords. With a unique rhythm, people couldn't help expecting the master of footsteps to appear in front of them.

On both sides of the corridor, a swordsman with armour stands every 10 meters. They are symmetrical and have indifferent eyes. The Eagle Head and lion heraldry is painted on the half body scale. When they see the charming Duchess of Barcelona approaching, they just bow their heads and never look more.

The whole corridor is heavily guarded and dignified because of the existence of these secret swordsmen.

Oroksia went to the door of the room at the end of the corridor. The oak door seemed to have eyes and just opened from inside. Without stopping, she raised her feet into the room, went straight to the refined iron desk in the middle of the room and sat down at the main seat in the back.

Hussein closed the door, turned and asked, "how's the investigation?"

Oroksia shook her head gently and said softly in her voice: "Frodo carefully investigated the battle scene left by his highness Randall and the bear monster. He restored part of the battle process and didn't feel the trace of witchcraft."

Hussein grasped the key and asked suspiciously, "part of the process?"

"His highness Randall first chased and killed the bear monster elder, and then the two sides approached each other, accompanied by some level of communication. At the moment of the final confrontation, Frodo's gifted witchcraft could not be restored. The power level of Victor and the bear monster elder exceeded Frodo's limit of witchcraft back in the past."

Holding her baby's fat cheeks, oroksia said thoughtfully: "Twelve hundred years ago, the main members of the iron mountain royal family fell one after another in the battle against the orc invaders. Because we were involved in the rebellion of the Pantheon, basselius escaped from exile by the Empire and the church. Most of the books in the family collection were lost, and many secrets were unknown to you and me."

"I once read the family chronicle, which recorded such a thing... In the eleventh year when the ancestors of Draven and verotika founded the iron mountain Empire, Draven wandered alone in the forest and hunted a group of bear monsters. Shortly after he returned to the imperial capital, he disappeared for 244 days."

"During that period, the queen forbade anyone to visit the draconian ancestors, and even alize testier wanted to see him, but she refused."

"When Draven's ancestors appeared again, they had long ears and a height of 2.1 meters. They had completely become a sun elf and mastered the elf language."

The family chronicle briefly records what happened in the family in chronological order. Anyone reading the age of the balelius family can hardly connect the transformation of delavin's life with the hunting of bear monsters.

Hussein moved in his heart and said: "Elder bear monster communicated with his highness Randall at that time. The blood knowledge revealed by him inspired cousin Victor's blood memory and prompted him to transform, which will lead to sleep... Cousin Victor didn't believe us, and now is not a good time for him to sleep and transform, so he rushed to Yingchao mountain overnight to try to suppress the blood transformation. When he returned to Renma hill, Sylvia Guard him to sleep... "

Oroksia showed her dimple, smiled and said, "didn't he go to camp in calf village? Blood transformation must be a big deal for him. He doesn't believe anyone except Sylvia. Cousin Victor left without saying goodbye, not necessarily against us."

Hussein shook his head and said, "this is only the best possibility. We must consider the worst possibility."

Oroksia smiled back, stared at him and said, "Eve is a kind child and a devout believer of the Lord of glory. She tries her best to help those soldiers who accept the transformation of secret methods. Every time someone can't survive the transformation of witchcraft, she will secretly cry and pray to the Lord of glory for the suffering people."

Hussein shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "I'm not ready to torture Eve. Although she is one of the shadow priests, since the shadow bishop sent Eve, she must have limited knowledge and be not afraid of our torture."

As soon as he turned his words, he said positively: "We have limited knowledge of witches. Frodo also has various restrictions in the past. Now it has been more than 20 days since Victor killed the bear monster. Frodo has not sensed the traces of witchcraft in the giant wood forest, which does not mean that Victor has not been attacked by the shadow priest. The shadow priests shelter in the church, and they have the opportunity to inherit from the ancient god elect. They control the tribunal from the trigova family From the beginning, this secret wizard organization has lasted for at least nearly a thousand years. They can hide from trigowal and try to get rid of the control of the referee, which shows the organization details of the shadow priest. I'm not surprised that they have legendary wizards. If they don't have legendary strong men, they dare to resist the trigowal family, it's abnormal. "

Oroksia asked, "when the legendary strong man of the shadow priest attacked Victor... What good is it for them to do so?"

"Who knows? Maybe killing the sun elves has special significance for some wizards... We can't measure mysterious and strange wizards with the concept of Lords."

Hussein shrugged his shoulders and said, "as long as there are many strong people with similar strength in any organization, there will always be differences. The shadow bishop negotiating with us cannot represent that all shadow priests are eager to be recognized by the church."

"Differences? For example, our differences?"

"At least we should investigate clearly..."

"It's been checked, but it's not clear! Victor knows what happened? But he won't tell us."

"If he is attacked and refuses to tell us, it means that he suspects that we are involved or even the mastermind."

"We didn't participate, and he didn't have any evidence. Therefore, he could only doubt and wouldn't tell us."

Hussein said seriously, "no one can bear Sylvia's anger. She just suspected that the dodos had murdered Victor, so she killed the nephew of the Duke of canary and the great Knight of the kingdom of dodo. The count of golden eye is only one step away from the sun elves. If he was really assassinated in the giant wood forest, how would Sylvia react?"

Oroksia sighed and asked, "what do you want?"

"It's a fact that we leaked the whereabouts of cousin Victor to the shadow priest. I think we should take the initiative to talk to cousin Victor... If the shadow priest uses us to murder the sun elves, we must return the color." Usain said coldly.

Oroksia smiled and said: "What about the shadow priest who didn't murder cousin Victor? Hold a tripartite meeting and confront him face to face? Isn't that what the shadow priest expects? Cousin Victor is deliberately cold to us, perhaps waiting for us to confess to him... However, we don't intend to get involved in the struggle between the shadow priest and the referee, we just want to steal the wizard inheritance from them. The shadow priest dares to find me We don't even know the identity of the shadow bishop. The wizards and shadow priests they exposed to us can be sacrificed. "

Hussein thought for a moment, looked up and asked, "do you think cousin Victor's sudden departure was intended to test us?"

Oroksia said coldly, "I only know that if I don't investigate the matter clearly, I will throw myself into confusion, that is, I will betray the heart of the eagle and lion and disgrace my ancestors."

Hussein said unhappily, "as a lord, you should be careful to shoulder the future of the family. Posture is more important than the truth, especially in the face of the sun elves and divine knights. The shadow priest could have been used to sell it to the Pope. It's better to sell it to cousin Victor first."

Olksia thought for a moment and nodded: "You're right. There should be a symmetrical posture between the Lords... But the key is time. The chaos of the Pantheon 1500 years ago damaged the strength of the church, which indirectly led to the collapse of the Empire. Because the Empire and the church supported and depended on each other militarily, the clergy of the Church suffered heavy losses, and the Empire was difficult to deal with the infiltration and attack of orcs. The bloodthirsty legion with extraordinary power can help Help us expand our territory, restore the iron mountain Empire, and make the eagle lion family prosperous again. "

"Since Eve came here, she has trained 67 blood guards and 4 shadow warriors for us. Her witchcraft can soothe the hearts of the trainees and reduce their crazy symptoms. Although her witchcraft can not be copied, the more successful examples, the more experience the family wizards have accumulated. I believe we will soon be able to obtain the training method of the bloodthirsty Legion belonging to Barcelona , as a stable inheritance. Not only that, family wizards can take this opportunity to open the magic medicine inheritance of the balelius family. "

"What happened in the giant wood forest? Did the shadow priest attack his highness Randall? Did his highness Randall suppress the transformation of blood? We all know nothing. But if you take the initiative to be honest with cousin Victor about your deal with the shadow priest, I promise that Sylvia and cousin victor will send someone to take Eve without delay?"

"I won't hand over Eve until the family has mastered the training methods of blood guards and shadow warriors." Said the female guardian of the balelius family flatly.

Hussein nodded and said, "but I want to remind you that if the shadow priest attacked his highness Randall in the giant wood forest, we still hide from him and don't give hints, which is tantamount to conspiracy."

If the shadow priest assassinates the count of golden eyes, there will be the first time, perhaps the second and third time. From Victor's performance, he has doubts about basselius. If he is attacked again, basselius will really be involved.

As long as the count of golden eye was involved in anything, it was no small matter. His abnormal behavior made the two princes of the balelius family suspicious and in a dilemma, which oroxya felt helpless.

She pondered: "cousin Victor tried us, we might as well try him... I have an agreement with Princess Auguste that kite castle will provide us with four konjac potions every year. If they break the contract and no longer provide us with blue konjac potions five months later, it shows that cousin Victor was really assassinated in Jumu forest and suspects that we were involved."

"And then?" Hussein asked: "kite Castle unilaterally broke the contract, and the family wizard did not complete the training methods of blood guards and shadow soldiers. How are you going to deal with it?"

Orokhia bit her lower lip and said, "be honest with the count of golden eyes, the shadow priest; study the secret methods of blood guards and shadow warriors with kite castle and human horse hill; give Sylvia the part of the family chronicle about the transformation of the blood of the sun elves. Try to exchange Gambis's understanding and support and regain the supply of taro potion."

"Five months? OK, I agree with your plan." The Duke of Barcelona nodded his approval and added, "we have to mend our relationship with Victor now, or grace will cause us more trouble." After a pause, he sighed and said, "Sophia is migrating refugees in the west of the Empire. Originally, I had ordered the family manager to cooperate with her as much as possible, but the Marquis of Wimbledon had to visit every Lord's family above the baron."

Aurochia was surprised and asked, "what does Sophia want?"

"She has always regarded herself as a business aristocrat. What else can she do?" Basselius shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "while selecting young women and children and craftsmen among the refugees, she investigated the properties of various families and built a public carriage with them."

Oroxya was speechless. Sophia intended to open up the business routes in the western part of the Empire and trade directly with the vassal family of bacelius, which damaged the interests of the patriarch of bacelius.

"Don't stop her. Let her." Oroksia lazily covered her forehead and said, "anyway, the west of the empire is only the West. Occupying the territory of centaurs is the core strategy of the iron mountain empire."

Basselius smiled, "then I'll send someone to pass the news to cousin victor. Anyway, Sophia is also his wife. Our concession to the Marquis of Wimbledon is entirely based on his kindness."

"Where is cousin Victor now?"

"The entrenched orcs in the East frontier have been unable to resist our cavalry. The church has heard that the count of golden eye is ready to lead a team to Guangming city to hunt the strong among the Centaurs."

**********************

On the field of the East frontier, a Sassanian cavalry galloped with a sharp arrow whistling in his ear. He turned his body, sometimes hung on the right side of the horse, and sometimes shook to the left.

More than thirty Centaur hunters chased the Sassanian cavalry, firing with a heavy bow, forcing him to roll and avoid on his horse's back, and sent out harsh and strange laughter.

The superb riding skills of human soldiers are just a joke in the eyes of centaurs. Chasing human cavalry has always been a favorite entertainment for Centaur hunters.

The hunting game continued. The human cavalry seemed to be weak. The dodging action was half a beat slow. After being hit by the heavy arrow shot by the Centaur, he screamed and the whole man fell on the horse's back. The Centaur hunters booed and laughed at the companion who shot his prey. The Centaur whined angrily and ran after the runaway horse.

There is not much food for the tribe. Catching a human cavalry can fill the stomach, and catching a live horse can be raised first and eaten later. Although half of them are like horses, they still eat horse meat.

Centaurs are omnivorous. They prefer meat to grass. They are stronger and faster than the good horses produced in the Wharton prairie. They soon catch up with the uncontrollable war horses.

Suddenly, the human cavalry hanging upside down on the horse pulled the bow and shot a cold arrow at the chasing centaur.

The galloping Centaur was caught off guard. The sharp arrow penetrated into his head from the socket of his eyes. With a scream, he rushed forward for tens of meters, turned askew, and finally fell to the ground. His limbs twitched and trembled, and he couldn't get up again.

The rest of the Centaur chasers were shocked and angry. The javelin and heavy arrows rained out. The Wharton horse whined and hissed, and suddenly became a hedgehog.

With one successful arrow, the Sassanian cavalry picked up the round shield next to the saddle, skillfully turned down the horse's back, avoided the arrow of the javelin, rolled on the ground, blocked in front of him with the round shield, pulled out the spear from behind and threw it out continuously. Unfortunately, his two javelins failed to hit the vigorous centaur.

"Come on, monster!" The Sassanian cavalry roared, held the last javelin and put on the posture of a decisive battle.

An obsidian javelin flew over the cavalry's head.

The Centaur captain held his companion's arm and shouted and scolded, "fool, I'll take off his iron sheet and wear it on me!"

With that, the majestic Centaur captain held up two heavy maces and charged the lonely Sassanian cavalry.

The cavalry clenched their teeth and waited for the Centaur captain to rush into the 100 meters, throwing the last spear out.

"Ding", "poof".

The Centaur captain raised his mace and flew the cavalry's spear. His head was like a round melon. It was cracked by a heavy hammer. The air was turbulent and blood was spilled. The Centaur without head lay soft on the ground.

Centaur chasers screamed and fled. The Sassanian cavalry looked at his right hand in confusion and muttered to himself:

"Am I evil? How can I be a damn wizard?"

There was a whistling wind behind him. Twenty human soldiers crossed the stunned Sassanian cavalry and chased the Centaurs who fled in all directions. Wearing dark red leather armor and holding red sandalwood War Bow, they ran faster than the four legged centaur. One sharp arrow accurately shot through the horns of the Centaur's head and took their lives.

When the Sassanian cavalry recovered, these powerful soldiers had killed most of the Centaur hunters. One of them even kicked a thousand pound Centaur more than ten meters away with his feet, rushed up to break its back, and then dragged the hind legs of the Centaur back.

The monsoon brought the roar of wild animals. The Sassanian cavalry turned and saw a team of war animal cavalry jogging around a knight.

The knight rode a huge lion with silver fur and a single horn on his forehead. He was wearing dark cyan leather armor and holding a metal War Bow in the shape of an eagle. He looked beautiful and sunny, and his eyes had a dark golden halo, which looked mysterious and noble.

The one horned lion carrying the mysterious and beautiful knight ran to the Sassanian cavalry. He looked at the cavalry from a commanding position, looked appreciative in his eyes, and asked gently, "warrior, what's your name and serve the Lord?"

The Sassanian cavalry quickly threw away their weapons and saluted respectfully: "Your Excellency, I am the vassal cavalry of count tockett. My name is karu."

"Count tockett? Emperor Frederick's fourth blood wolf guard... The city of light should not be far away."

Victor nodded, jumped down from the majestic dissimilated war beast, and said to the back, "Reverend Carmon, please treat the arrow wound for this brave soldier. I have something to ask him."
