Late at night, in the inner hall of the Magic Empire Religious Hall, when everyone was chatting happily with Elaine, a Templar knight walked in and said respectfully:
"Your Highness, it is already late at night, should we arrange a place for the knights to rest?"
Only then did Elaine remember it, and then she said sheepishly:
"Sorry, I forgot these things. You go and arrange food and accommodation for everyone. We have to talk for a while."
After chatting for a while, the knight really didn't understand what there was to talk about. The knight turned and left without talking nonsense, and Wood also stood up and said:
"Sorry, we're leaving too!"
Elaine wants to keep everyone here, but there is no way. It is already very late now, and there is still a very important meeting to be held tomorrow!
After Wood and everyone left, everyone walked on the street together. There was no one on the streets of Galen City late at night. Everyone just walked slowly, as if they were taking a walk. Everyone felt very happy chatting with Elaine. After all, they were
Friends who have grown up together and haven't seen each other for several months, it would be great if Feili came back too! At this time, everyone had this idea.
Just as everyone was walking slowly on the street, a cold wind blew over. Now everyone is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Of course they can detect this cold and biting murderous intention.
Everyone did not look back, but continued to move forward. Shilong sent out a secret whistle:
"Boss, there are 11 people behind you, and I feel they are stronger than us."
Yuna then made a secret whistle and said:
"There are 34 people in ambush ahead, all top assassins!"
Wood stopped and looked at the sky, smiled and said:
"They say that when the moon is dark and the wind is high, there is a murderous night. It seems that they are absolutely right."
Wood's words seemed to be nothing, but in the tone of the whistle, they evolved into:
"We led them outside the city and tried not to hurt innocent people."
Everyone understood what Wood meant, and Wood looked at everyone and said:
"I suddenly don't want to go back to my residence. Come with me for a walk outside the city!"
As soon as Wood finished speaking, there was a small commotion in the ambush circle, and Wood whispered:
"You're still an assassin for your level! It's a little too weak!"
But at this moment, the sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly came from the distance. Everyone was already prepared. After the sound was heard, everyone flew into the air.
At this time, I heard shouting from below:
"The fat guy ran away! Chase him!"
Laura said angrily:
"He actually called us fat. Let's see if I don't beat him into fat."
But this thing is very strange. Why did an assassin suddenly ambush me? Is there any conspiracy behind this?
Wood took the time to look at the pursuers and saw that they were all dressed in black, but the assassins were filled with a deathly air, giving them a cold feeling.
And the soul body in Wood's body sent consciousness:
"You guessed it right, they are indeed dead warriors of the God's Family. Apart from them, no force can cultivate such members."
Wood murmured in his heart, has Eva decided to go to war? Is she really ready?
While Wood was thinking, Wood and others had already escaped from Galen City. When they reached a spacious place in the wild, Wood and others fell to the ground, and the pursuers behind them also fell down.
But what Wood agreed with was that when these people came down, they didn't say a word and started shooting directly.
Only then did everyone see clearly that this was not the crossbow designed by Wood!
Everyone dodged and then began to fight with the opponent. Wood took out the Guandao and started fighting with the opponent. Although the opponent was large in number, with the tacit cooperation of Wood and others, the enemy did not take advantage at all, and many people were killed.
scholar.
Seeing that the mission was about to fail, these dead soldiers began to fight tooth and nail. Wood and others knew that they were going to self-destruct as soon as they saw this posture. This made Wood and the others angry. If they couldn't defeat them, they would self-destruct. What kind of theory was this?
At the moment before the self-destruction, everyone used the earth escape technique to drill underground without thinking, and a large deep pit was exploded just outside the city.
After Wood and others came out, these dead soldiers were all dead. Wood asked everyone to start searching to see if they could find any useful information.
Wood recalled the battle just now in his mind, and pictures flashed through his mind. Wood walked up to a corpse, reached out and untied his veil.
"It's really him!"
Everyone hurriedly came over, and Shi Long asked in confusion:
"Boss, do you know him?"
Wood pointed to this person and said:
"Well, he was one of the people who turned me into a slave. He was the person I met in Prancing Pony Town."
Wood clearly remembers the scene at that time, but Wood is different now. In the past, Wood still struggled to follow others, but he knew that today his group could actually force them all to self-destruct.
Wood took a deep breath and said:
"It seems that the God Family of the Ice and Snow Empire is about to take action. We must prepare quickly. Sal, you lead the Night Guard to the Ice and Snow Empire and report to me the movements there at any time!"
After Sal left, Wood and others returned to their residence. In the God Family of the Ice and Snow Empire, Eva looked at a report of mission failure for a long time, and an old man next to him said in confusion:
"Patriarch, why do you insist on assassinating Wood? Why don't you directly assassinate Palu? As long as the Magic Empire changes its master, we will have completed the mission of the God of Foreknowledge."
Eva said in a cold tone:
"I can kill Palu at any time if I want, but Wood actually helped Palu regain his country, so he will be my enemy from today on! I must kill him first! Then I can torture Palu and make his life worse than death.
!”
On the second day, after Wood gave instructions to His Majesty the Military and Government, he took Sir Ma into the cabinet. Then Wood told what happened last night, and then asked:
"Do you think we should prepare faster?"
Sir Ma shook his head and said:
"Now that the empire's financial resources are too much, even if you want to, you can't do it quickly. Most of the empire's workshops have been demolished and many people have been killed. How can we prepare military supplies quickly? Besides, there is a shortage of funds in various places, and the internal affairs are also a bit complicated.
We can’t make ends meet.”
Wood frowned and said:
"We are short of money again, my God! The current empire is a bottomless pit, no amount of money is enough!"
Sir Ma hurriedly defended:
"That's not true. I just said that there is a shortage of funds, but I didn't say that the local government is short of money. However, if you want to speed up military production, it is indeed a bit difficult."
In fact, Wood knew that the first internal affairs of an empire include agriculture, commerce, technology, architecture, and even fortifications. These are the most important things in the internal affairs of an empire and are indispensable.
However, according to the current situation, the Magic Empire, which has just suffered a disaster, has to start over in every aspect. Food has been robbed, farmland has been destroyed, all shops have been basically robbed, and business has also been hit hard;
Even the various workshops in the empire were emptied by the enemy, leaving nothing behind regardless of whether they were useful or not. It is indeed not easy for this magic empire to develop.
Wood wants to complete the restoration of all workshops in the first step. After all, the empire's military supplies are a big deal, and Bob alone will be exhausted! But according to Sir Ma's analysis, agriculture, commerce, and building fortifications are all important.
Everyone must come first.
After the discussion between the two came to no avail, Wood had no choice but to leave in confusion. However, as soon as he left the palace, he was stopped by a Templar. The Templar came to Wood and said:
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Holy Lady invites you!"
Wood didn't go to Elaine today, mainly because Elaine would be baptizing believers today and might be very busy, so she knew that Elaine would be finished so quickly.
Wood came to the Galen City religious center. Elaine was dressed in a white priest's robe. When she saw Wood arriving, she smiled and said:
"Sir Wood, I came to you because I have something to ask!"
Wood knew that there were people around here, most of them were believers and people from the Holy See of Light, so Wood also said politely:
"Please speak! Your Majesty the Saint!"
Elaine slowly asked:
"I was born in a small town on the border of the Windy City of the Magic Empire. Everyone knows that before I became a saint, the Magic Empire was destroyed. Although it has been repaired now, it has lost its former glory. I want to know
, how can I help?”
Wood asked Elaine to come over because he wanted her to help. Seeing that Elaine spoke first and Wood was no longer hiding, Wood then said:
"The great goddess of light, her radiance shines all over the earth and shines into our hearts. Her will makes us convinced. She hopes that people will walk out of the darkness and get rid of the fear in their hearts. Now that you have come, we finally see hope."
Seeing that Wood finally got to the point, everyone listened with pricked up ears. Wood continued:
"Some time ago, our Magic Empire was attacked by three major empires. The warriors and heroes of the Magic Empire fought back. Although most of them were killed, some people survived, but they were disabled. I don't know what the Holy Lady can do.
Can you give these people new power and let the goddess's holy light shine into their hearts?"
At this time, everyone had the same idea. Wood's flattery was absolutely amazing!
