Chapter 361 Assassin with a long sword

Author: Twelfth Floor Yueming

January of the 358th year of the Pande calendar.

On the first day of the new year, many major events happened in Pendor.

Queen Amy Sonad announced her abdication in Changhe Town because she "failed to protect the capital city of Lion City, which resulted in the city being occupied by demons, and she was unworthy of the people of Lion City."

A king who was still alive and well suddenly announced his abdication without passing the throne to anyone else. This was naturally a rare event that had never happened in Pendor.

On the same day, Brennus, the rebel of the Lion Kingdom who had been entrenched in Qiaoyan Bay and associated with the fallen, suddenly announced in a high-profile manner that he would die for the real Lion King Ulric. After that, almost everyone in Qiaoyan Bay

All the troops set off for Lion City.

Speaking of which, the 'Ulric' in the Lion City did issue a king's order more than a month ago, requiring all the lords of the Lion Kingdom to gather in the Lion City.

At that time, various countries in the mainland heard some rumors, but the armies of various countries had witnessed a large number of degenerates pouring out of Lion City. At that time, troops from various countries fought a big melee near Lion City, and the Dexia army rushed into the city.

When they entered the Lion City, almost the entire army was wiped out.

Therefore, all countries know that it is difficult to say whether the 'Ulric' in the city is a human or a ghost. Even if he is a human, he is probably related to heretics.

Now that Brennus has declared his allegiance to the Lion King, it is clear that the man in the Lion City must be a heretic...

Moreover, countless fallen people outside the Lion City also confirmed this.

At this time, the long-missing Grand Duke Li Ang of Changhe Town reappeared, and together with the Holy Knight Roland, sent envoys to all the kingdoms in Pendor, hoping that everyone would temporarily unite and form a coalition to slay the heretical demons together.

Due to Amy's high-profile search, the entire continent knew that Li Ang risked his life to attract thunder and disappeared with the abyss demon.

Some people may doubt what the 'cunning' lord Li Ang said, but there is definitely no need to doubt Roland's call.

So now, the call launched by a young Duke who has been on the front line to slay demons, and the Paladin Roland who has been cleaning up the fallen, is enough to convince everyone that places such as Lion City and Cliff Bay have been completely occupied by demons.

There is a more suitable explanation for why Amy moved a large number of civilians to Changhe Town - the Lion Kingdom did not have enough troops to fight against the demons in Lion City at the time, and the mob was causing chaos, so they had to take away those who could

Everything left to ensure the safety of the people.

Of course, for most people, they are reluctant to respond to Li Ang and Roland's invitation. Anyway, the devil has not appeared in their territory...

However, in this case, it is not necessary to add insult to injury to the Lion Realm - the king and the great lords still want to face each other, and no one wants to be thought to be the accomplice of the devil.

If you follow the Fallen to deal with the Lion Realm together, you may be able to gain some advantage at the beginning, but as long as you do this kind of thing, you will 100% incur the hostility of all countries in the future, and if you fail on the battlefield, you will definitely die——

-No one will regard the devil's allies as nobles, and there will no longer be a chance to surrender.

Brennus did this kind of thing more than a year ago, so no one will regard him as a duke now. He can only go to the dark side, otherwise as long as he loses, the whole family will be tied to the cross.

Burned to ashes.

Faced with such a situation, several countries have made completely different reactions.

The first to respond to Leon's call was Creon of the Bacchus Empire.

In other words, the Knights of the Radiant Cross.

The Radiant Knight Loris came to Changhe Town again. This time, he brought with him most of the combatants of the Knights, including General Creon.

"Lord Li Ang, I am here to repay a debt of gratitude..."

Loris is still wearing his white cloak, but this time, there should be no map on the cloak - the Red Death in the Bacchus Empire has been completely resolved.

"Does His Majesty Marius know that you are here?"

Li Ang was very pleased that sowing good causes reaped good results, and his original efforts were not in vain.

"Of course His Majesty Marius knew that we were here, and he even provided us with a large amount of military rations."

Loris nodded, but then showed a smile: "But... His Majesty Marius asked me to tell you that you must pay him a military fee - the Knights of the Shining Cross are now a regular legion of the empire, and it is proper to help allies fight.

It's moral, but the money must be collected... Lord Li Ang, you know, this is also the practice of our knights..."

Li Ang smiled: "Okay... I was finally blackmailed by him. But, I have no money now... Can you keep the account first? I can write him an IOU."

Creon also smiled and waved to Alina: "Miss Alina, His Majesty asked you to sign on his behalf to sign a loan to Lord Leon - His Majesty Marius also built a bank in Siyuan City, and the Empire

bank……"

Then, Creon took out a piece of parchment from his body, and the amount on it looked familiar...

Five hundred thousand dinars—this was exactly the amount of the loan Anson originally granted Creon.

Li Ang and An Sen covered their faces together... Sure enough, sooner or later, you will have to pay back if you come out to fool around.

However, just as the original loan was actually the goodwill of Anson and Leon, it was also the goodwill of Marius.

At the same time, General Creon said that the Bacchus Empire will fully shift its battle front to the territory of Desha during this period, and Li Ang can safely deal with the demons and fallen ones in the Lion Realm.

In the hearts of some people, there are many things that are more important than fighting for power and territory.

But this is also the only regular army in each country that actively responded to Li Ang's call.

In addition, there is also a small force that was forced to assist in the battle due to personal connections - some archers from the Silvermist Rangers.

This was a pure accident. The people of the Silver Mist Rangers were not brought here for Li Ang's sake. They were forcibly brought here by Wendy - those archers were Wendy's apprentices...

Wendy has been looking for clues about Li Ang for more than a year, and met some northern archers near Fletcher who were dealing with the Jatu people.

After demonstrating her archery skills on the Jatu Riders, she became the idol of those archers - members of the Silvermist Rangers, most of whom were obsessed with bows and arrows.

Wendy's helping hand and the kind attitude she showed gave the people of the Silvermist Rangers a completely different view of the Noldor elves than most people.

They believed that the Noldor were not as callous as others said, especially Wendy.

Besides...Wendy is so beautiful, no one in the Crow Realm has ever seen such stunning beauty...

Therefore, they became Wendy's apprentices - although it was somewhat in name only, after all, Wendy's shooting skills mainly relied on talent and time...

Although they are not familiar with Li Ang and Roland, as long as Wendy calls, they will definitely help their teacher.

But apart from these two forces, the reactions of other countries were completely different.

Crow King Gregory IV politely replied to the letter, saying that he had discovered a large-scale invasion of the Misty Mountain people in the north. He could only wish Duke Leon good luck on behalf of the Crow Kingdom...

King Vidis of Fieldsway was not so polite. He directly asked the messenger to come back and tell Li Ang that he hoped that Li Ang would die with the devil again - but fortunately, at least he did not intend to join the devil.

.

But there was no response at all from Dexia - they should have already encountered the army of the Bacchus Empire, and probably the two 'Bahad Khans' wanted Li Ang to die quickly.

This is also expected. Li Ang did not expect to receive any support. He just hoped that other countries would not cause trouble.

It's an unexpected surprise that the Knights of the Radiant Cross and the Silver Mist Rangers can come.

However, this is not the only surprise.

When Li Ang was reorganizing his troops and preparing to send troops, Ramon sent someone.

And a lot of people were sent - almost all the members of Ramon's 'brotherhood'.

Even Ramon himself came.

"Good brother, I thought you were dead... you didn't notify me when you came back; now you have to do something big, but you didn't even send anyone to notify me... humph..."

Ramon crossed his arms and looked at Li Ang sideways, seemingly dissatisfied.

"Ramon, I really never thought you would come so far away...This is no longer business!"

Li Ang was really surprised to see Ramon - he didn't send an envoy to Sinjar at all, and he didn't think Ramon would respond to such a call.

"If everything is business, then there will be no good brothers in the world... Besides, if half a continent or even more places are destroyed by the walking dead, how can I still do business?"

Ramon said with a smile, looking very selfless.

"Good brother, did you get some news that I don't know about?"

After hearing about the walking dead, Li Ang immediately realized that Ramon was the best informed in the entire continent. He must know what was going on in Lion City, but he still came...

This means that Ramon may have received some clear information, and it is related to Ramon's own safety, otherwise he would not be able to bring out all his family assets.

Ramon's face became serious: "I really want to tell you some news... The city of Lion is full of undead. Caliph Tahir died at the gate of Lion City, and almost all his troops became undead, and these undead are in

Attacked Sinjar two months ago... I had a hard time killing them!"

"All the Dexia troops who died in Lion City became undead? All of them?"

Li Ang was shocked.

Although he knew that Kavala could control corpses, he really didn't expect that it would be a natural disaster-like transformation of the undead - if he died in battle, he would become undead, so who would dare to attack the Lion City?

"Anyway, what I saw in Sinjar was most of Tahir's troops... all turned into walking zombies. The fatal wounds and rotten flesh on their bodies were clearly visible, but they still acted like an army.

…”

Ramon nodded and said, "Besides, Tahir is also among them."

"Are Tahir's troops the only undead that appeared in Sinjar? Did you see a conspicuous corpse wearing gold armor?"

Li Ang continued to ask.

"Golden armor? I didn't see it. Only Ulric wears that thing... Those who appeared in Sinjar were all Tahir's troops. I'm very familiar with them and I can't be mistaken."

Ramon shook his head: "I'm not sure whether the undead army will continue to attack Singal, so no matter what the devil is in the Lion City, I must kill it with you!"
To be continued...
