The blessing of life that deceived the God of Death lost its effect after just an hour. Umang, the Lord of the Underworld, one of the seven major gods, took away the soul of the mercenary Gwadar.
The tenants of A51 stood on the quiet grassland, watching Toba silently use his fingers to peel away the soil, dig a hole, gently pick up the mercenary's body, and put it into the grave. Jonah clearly saw it in the eyes of the room chief.
tears, but all that could be done was to help him hold up the soil, gradually covering up the peaceful face of the strongest warrior in Cherry Crossing.
A simple tomb appeared in the miracle grassland where wild flowers bloomed. Toba thought for a while, picked up the steel gun that took his life, broke it into a crescent shape with both hands, and inserted it into the tomb. As a believer of the main god Sheela,
This is the best tombstone.
"My lord." Elliot approached the sad Bazeral mountain people with a solemn expression: "There is no time. Now, you must make a decision. Two options, one option, fight to the death from Gwadar.
Judging from the intelligence sent, the situation has become clear. The Zhawi Empire has sent Storm Knight Isaacios, which has changed the weights on both sides of the scale."
Toba turned his back to everyone and wiped his face with his arm: "I'm sorry, my head is a little messed up. Eli, what do you think we should do?"
The Rose Knight pointed to the west: "It won't take long, maybe an hour, maybe now, - the two queens will cross the canyon and enter the Miracle Grassland, and the pursuers of the Golden Hammer will also appear, no matter where we choose.
All plans must be prepared now. If the room chief has no objections, we will move to the entrance of the canyon and prepare for an ambush."
Toba nodded.
Along the way, the Pitchfork crew members didn't talk to each other.
On the west side of Miracle Grassland, the rolling gray mountains form a semicircular wall, and a narrow canyon road appears in the center of the wall. There is no more suitable place for an ambush than here.
Elliot took one look and immediately said: "Your Excellency, Astrologer."
"Yes, Eli." Jonah replied.
"The rock formation on the mountain wall on the north side of the canyon entrance is relatively loose. If a small explosion is triggered in the fissure, a large amount of gravel will temporarily block the entire passage. When you hear the command, launch it. Can you do it?" Rose Knight looked at him with his eyes.
instruct.
Jonah had a special feeling. This was actually his first time as a member of the Pitchfork Team to personally participate in the battle. He touched the semi-finished star array in the deerskin bag and nodded without hesitation: "No problem."
"Miss Sibi, Miss Long Ji. You guys are on standby near the tree at nine o'clock." Elliot turned to the two ladies, "When you hear the order, fire with all your strength immediately. Remember, use all your strength."
"Got it!" Xibi shouted loudly.
"Understood." Long Ji took out a black forged belt from somewhere and tied up her long black hair with her backhand. The silver bells in the hairline collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
"Mr. Chamberlain, your position is in the middle of the road. It is both a bait and a shield. Please pay attention to safety." Elliot instructed.
Toba agreed, his eyes were distracted and he didn't know if he heard clearly.
"Your Excellency Jekong... you are on standby for now." The Rose Knight finally looked at Jekong.
Jian Jian Lan showed no reaction.
Elliot's unicorn moved a few steps left and right, kicking up the green blades of grass. "The tactics are simple. After the enemy arrives - whether it is the Queen's troops or Zavi's pursuers - let go of the first fifty
People, knock down the rock wall, block the road, use all your strength to defeat the first group of enemies, then rest for a while, wait for the enemies behind to arrive, fight while retreating, and try to delay as much time as possible... With all due respect, in strength
In the face of enemies who are very different from each other, tactics are meaningless. What we have to do is to survive as much as possible, and the longer the better. This is not a battle, it is a war... Mr. Room Chief, the above is today's story
Briefing, we have nothing more to say."
Toba stared blankly at the distant mountains in trance.
"Master?" Elliot approached him and reminded him in a low voice.
"Huh?" Toba turned his head and saw everyone looking at him. He couldn't help but touch the back of his head: "Well, what Eli said is right. Let's do it this way. I completely agree."
"You have to make a decision, Lord Chamberlain, Queen or Zavi?" Rose Knight asked again.
Toba was startled, "I..."
Jonah had never thought of this problem until now: the two upcoming queens, Abdelaire I of Bazelar and Wenger IV of St. Bollen, are inextricably linked to many of them.
connect.
The Sutherland royal family of Bazeral is the object of Toba's hatred because they took away the mothers and wives of the men on the mushroom farm; Sibby himself is a descendant of Sutherland, willingly or not; Jonah himself is a Saint Beau.
The people of Saint-Paul-Lun; and the fiefdom of the Knights of the Rose before their exile in long history was the Red Clay Plain, and they were the ancient royal family of St. Bollon.
No matter which choice Toba makes, someone will be forced to bear the pain. This is a game in which no one wins.
"...I don't know...wait a moment, I'll think about it again, think about it again." Toba covered his forehead in pain.
Elliot said helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Chamberlain. No matter what choice you make, we will obey it."
Xibi walked over, lightly jumped onto Toba's shoulders and sat down, patting Toba's big head: "Okay, okay, uncle, it would have been a headache for me too. I have never experienced anything like this in the past."
The more you think about the problem, the less you understand it, so just don’t think about it at all. When the thing comes, the answer will naturally appear in your mind."
"Really?" The head of the house looked at her helplessly.
"Really! I lied to you that I was a puppy! Okay..." Xibi hugged Toba's thick neck and said affectionately.
Toba turned his head and looked at Jonah with a sad face: "Well, Mr. Astrologer, even if you give me 10,000 courages, I would not dare to drag you into this dangerous place, but, look...what should I say?
?”
The astrologer's apprentice couldn't stand the shy expression of the seven-foot-old man, so he quickly waved his hands and walked aside. By the time he found out, Jonah had already walked to Long Ji unconsciously.
The oriental woman stood quietly under the tree, her hair tied into a ponytail, revealing a slender white neck. She was holding a dagger handle with one hand, and playing with the leaves casually with the other hand, looking very calm.
"I……"
"My past, you want to know? It's not a beautiful story. It's a wound. A curse. A rotting corpse. Believe me, you have no interest in knowing."
As soon as Yona opened his mouth, Long Ji interrupted him, and as if she could read his mind, she revealed the question that Yona had buried in his heart for a long time.
"Uh, I'm not..." Jonah was speechless and waved his hands.
At this moment, a soft light green light lit up next to it, and everyone's attention was drawn to it. The Rose Knight's unicorn had apparently just released a spell, and the tip of its horn was flashing with colorful neon lights. Elliot raised his arm,
Hold up four fingers.
"The enemy has been detected and will arrive in about twenty minutes." Long Ji took a look and explained, "This is the early warning magic 'earth landmark', which predicts the enemy's movements through information sensing between plants.
It is a type of plant magic. Eli can release three types of magic: healing, plant and amplification. Of course, all at the cost of consuming life."
"Before today, I didn't understand Eli's ability..." Jonah sighed.
"Yes, everyone has things they don't want others to know." Long Ji looked at the leaves in her hands and said leisurely.
Jonah hesitated for a while, wondering if he should turn around and walk away.
At this time, Long Ji spoke again: "There is a name that I should let you know. His name is Simion? Long Chang. The former is his Christian name, and the latter is his genealogical name when he was still in the Long family of the Eastern Continent. In fact,
Not many people know his two names. The world generally calls him..."
"King of Assassins!" Jonah's fingers involuntarily grasped the corners of his clothes, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force.
Even people with no common sense know that the power of the entire world is in the hands of twelve people, the "Twelve Discussing Lords."
Four of the five major guild leaders are members of the Twelve Councilors: the four presidents of the Magicians Association, the Astrologers Association, the Mathematicians Association, and the Steam Puppet Masters Association. What kind of mysterious power sits in the remaining eight seats?
, the folk opinions are not unanimous. The rumors that Jonah heard said that the king of the Tocharian Empire in the southern continent with outstanding achievements occupied one seat, and the special representatives of the northern elven kingdoms occupied one seat. In addition, there was another person on the seat of power.
There is a special person that people always avoid mentioning because of fear. That is the king of assassins and the spiritual leader of assassins: Simeon Longchang.
Assassin is the oldest profession, and also the most mysterious one. He can remain silent, strike with one blow, and escape thousands of miles away. People often only hear about assassins through the deaths of important figures.
The legendary assassin group is an organization with loose discipline but strict rules. Its branches cover the entire continent like a spider web. No one knows what they look like, except when you need to kill someone and can afford to pay a high price.
, the assassin's agent will appear next to you, maybe it is the waitress at the corner cafe, meeting the kind-hearted old landlord every day.
The "Geographical Calculation of the Western Continent" only mentions the following sentence about the Assassin organization: It is said that the sudden death of Her Majesty Queen Wenger II in 2254 continental calendar is related to the Assassin organization, and St. Bolun's nationwide investigation failed.
