Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 338: Dead end in the dark

"Om... Hum." The door of the office was knocked suddenly.

"Please come in." A middle-aged man sitting behind the gorgeous desk raised his eyes and responded, and then continued to lower his head.

This man has a well-proportioned sitting posture and has a slightly curly blond hair. He is fluffy and flamboyant. At first glance, he is easily reminiscent of a proud lion. However, the light blue pupils under his blonde hair were piercing and gleaming with wisdom.

Coupled with the magic robe with rich texture and dark gold embroidery, this is obviously a very powerful magician.

"Excuse me, your marshal." The door opened in response, and a woman with a slender figure and a coquettish smile walked in. Facing the blond figure behind the desk, the woman hurriedly bent over to salute, and the beauty of the low-cut neckline was looming.

The woman maintained an elegant and formal posture, turned around and gently closed the door and unlocked it. Only then did he pick up the long hair beside his ears, threw the letters he brought in his hands on the desk, and then walked around the desk and sat down into the man's arms with a face of anguish.

This blond man is one of the three marshals of the Alliance, Shivank Thamel, the current Patriarch of the Thamel family, and he also has another identity, an eighth-tier great magician. The woman in his arms is his deacon and mistress, Susanna.

Everyone who saw the blonde Shivank for the first time would subconsciously think that he might be an iron-blooded soldier because of his sharp eyes and slightly rough face, but in fact he is a magician.

"What's the matter?" Shivank, who was called the marshal, did not rush to be gentle, his eyes fell on the unopened letter on the desktop.

"Border battle report, after Hallowell and Kennardze, Sim's territory has also fallen. However, it is not appropriate to say that the fall is not appropriate. They may not be able to withstand the pressure, and they took the initiative to send a letter to the city of freedom. Susanna raised her arm around the man's neck.

Shivank frowned slightly, his sturdy face showing a tough line, but his brows quickly stretched and smoothed. This was not unexpected. In fact, he had known last year that there were foreign rats nesting in the border area.

The reason why the battle report will be sent directly to him is that, on the one hand, Susanna is his little lover.

Another main reason is that there is a large area of ​​territory around the city of Asokelan in the north, including the border area where the newly emerging City of Freedom is located. That piece of land is all his, or it belongs to them. Of the Mier family.

Allantis’s ruling system is similar to that of the Dark Council, but there are some differences.

The Dark Council is composed of a three-seat elders cabinet. There is no pope above, only the Dark Lord, and down there are twenty-four seats with voting rights.

There are also three marshals on Allantis' side. There is no head of state above their heads, and there are no twenty-four seats down. There are only the division of military positions such as the middle marshal, the small marshal, and the commander.

Before the disintegration of the mighty northern empire, Kurenal, Allantis was a part of it. At that time, Kurenal was a collection of small territories ruled by many dukes and barons.

After the disintegration of the Kurenal Empire, the imperial power died out and the nobility declined. The glory of the family, the inheritance of the nobility, the acceptance of the infidels in the South, and the tolerance for magicians of other disciplines other than the fire system are mixed for various reasons.

Allantis launched this military and political system hundreds of years ago at the end of the Lunar Calendar, and it has been in use ever since.

Then countless new families came into being around these positions of authority. These new families formed a new circle of nobles in the main city of Allantis, and then expanded and radiated from their homeland to the surrounding areas.

For those remote lords far away from the main city, these emerging powers of Allantis usually adopt the method of wining and cooperating. Unless the opponent is a stubborn hard bone, the major families will send troops to destroy it.

To be straightforward is to make you my person, I provide shelter and support for you, and you provide me with nourishment.

The so-called asylum and support are nothing more than force and politics. The military aspect usually refers to the war support between the territories, and the political aspect generally does not have much to do with the country lords.

After all, those guys only come to the main city once every few years to meet with the sheltered family of the subordinates. Sometimes no one knows who you are when you say a word, and there is no right to mix in the circle of the core power.

The so-called nourishment refers to the fact that those remote lords who accept the asylum of a big family in the main city will continue to enjoy the autonomy of their own territory, and then collect nourishment to the big family in the main city by collecting local taxes.

The three frontier territories of Hallowell, Kennardze, and Simror in the north are all directly under the Tymel family, which, to put it bluntly, is like a domestic chicken that can lay eggs. But now a city of freedom popped up suddenly and the chicken was stolen.

No longer recognizing the direct ownership of the Thamel family means that the nourishment from the three territories will naturally not be sent in the future.

This kind of thing is actually not a big deal, and there are often disputes and frictions between the various territories on the northern continent. Even in the circle of power and nobility in the main city, yours suddenly becomes mine, and mine becomes his again. Such things often happen.

According to Allantis's method of handling in the past, if it is an internal dispute in the northern territory, that is, a local territorial war, the leaders in the inner circle will negotiate and resolve each other. If there are foreign thieves, sending troops and destroying them will be over.

After getting the information of Freedom City at first, Shivank didn't care too much. He adopted this old method, but sent the order to unite against the enemy at the same time to the three small territories over there.

In the end, only the territory of Hallowell responded to the order, but the ending was sad, and Hallowell was erased from the map.

After the battle report was passed back to the main city of Arlantis, Shivank still didn't care too much.

The combat power in the countryside is already uneven, and it is not surprising that what will happen in the end. As for the two small territories of Kennardze and Simlor who did not respond to the order, whether they were rebellious or they had their own trade-offs, they would be over when they sent troops to annihilate.

When they did not respond to the main city's order, it already meant that they were no longer controllable and no longer necessary to exist. Since they stood on the opposite side of Allantis and became enemies of the main city, there was only one ending in destruction.

Just when Sifank was about to send a few high-level combat forces to suppress the border disturbances and chaos, he suddenly received a letter.

The letter comes from the dark council in the south, and the letter bluntly stated that currently entrenched on the northern border is the extreme evil that once caused mass killings in the south and escaped. I hope that the northern side will pay attention to it.

Although the southern and northern borders have always been hostile, no one could be killed for so many years, and gradually everyone stopped mentioning them.

Shifank's father had a certain friendship with Setin, the three-seat elder of the Dark Council. In fact, if you go back to the generation of Shivank's grandfather, you would have traveled from the southern border to the northern border, and then took root in the northern border and grew stronger.

After taking the position of Patriarch in Sivank's hands, adhering to his father's philosophy, Sivank did not have much hostility towards the South. In addition, there have been several cooperations between the North and the South in several areas that can bring benefits, and this friendship has been maintained.

The Cthulhu Intent mentioned in this letter gave Shivank a sense of sight as if he was facing a hornet's nest. It sounds like a funny joke, but a letter with the joint signature of the three elders of the Dark Council is obviously not a joke.

Therefore, Shivank stopped in time and began to wait and see and collect information.

It's mainly for Sol Drake, what he has done, what he is doing, and what he is about to do.

This wait-and-see has been on the sidelines for nearly a year. From the appearance of the other party, the rumors and deeds of the other party, etc., all the information that can be collected is summarized here by Shifank.

After reading the information repeatedly, Sivank suddenly felt that he was a little bit confused.

The other party went wild at the ball in Odrensa, and went to Byron Bian’s circle of dignitaries to cheat a sum of money. These are two major events that can be marked on the surface. There are also other minor things such as the management of the Free City and the territorial innovation initiatives.

The question is, like an ordinary person, accumulate wealth, recruit troops and buy horses, and slowly develop and grow... Are these things the evil gods should do? You are an evil god, what about your power? Are you experiencing life by pretending to be an ordinary person and cowering in the crowd?

Shifank felt that he hadn’t seen anything. Although he hadn’t seen Saul, he could barely add a “smart” prefix in front of the name from the things he did. That's it.

However, the matter was not over yet. In Shifank's confusion, another letter came from the Southern Dark Council three months ago.

This time the letter did not describe the danger of this suspected evil god, but directly proposed a solution.

That is the combination of the North and the South. They come out together, and cast a taboo magic circle that requires at least three people to cast, trapping the evil in it and eradicating it in one fell swoop. There are two people in the south, and one in the north. The magic circle needs to be, Tier 6.

Seeing that Shivank fell into thinking here, he was half believing in this matter, but now he believes a little more.

After all, he was able to retreat under the eyelids of the three eighth-rank old monsters in the Southern Territory, even if Shifank did not dare to say it, so this guy named Thor should be a little weird.

The three elders Setin threatened that the initial approach in the Southern Territory was to use the spear of divine punishment to judge the enemy, but was afraid that the enemy could not be put to death, so after the three seats discussed together, it was changed to a more secure method.

Sivank definitely knew what the Spear of God's Punishment was. It was one of the few remaining divine tools on this continent, and it was currently in the temple of the Dark Temple.

It is said that the Spear of Divine Punishment has a total of three chances to be used, and the artifact will automatically shatter and disappear after it is used up.

In the ancient legends on this continent, only those old stories of his grandfather mentioned that once the spear of divine punishment is activated, a golden dazzling sacred judgment spear will appear from the sky, and it will be locked by the artifact. Enemy.
