Chapter 266 The Lazy Saint?
On the second day after the night attack on Avilato and Palace Hill, the number of people walking on the streets of the city suddenly decreased. The once prosperous capital became deserted overnight.
The First Eye of the Almighty Eye, Zevaang, was sent by the king to an old manor hidden deep in the Oran Highlands.
In the yellowed three-story earthen building, there were twenty high-level court magicians stationed within a four-kilometer radius of the manor.
The gate of the manor was closed, and the weeds around it were half a meter high, but there was a fresh path leading to the lobby door of the manor.
When Zevaang arrived, he felt vaguely uneasy.
I always feel that... today's meeting with Charlemagne's royal family is definitely not a good thing, but this kind of sudden attack, the night attack lasted a total of thirteen minutes, with the capabilities of our empire, no one knew about the coming of the attack in advance.
The eastern front of the empire has to deal with hundreds of thousands of foreign monsters every day. Most of the personnel at home and abroad are investigating openly and secretly. God knows where the magic group came from last night!
Zevaang thought about it and didn't know what excuse to use to justify the mistake of the Almighty Eye.
After paying homage to His Majesty the King, Zewaang remained in a half-kneeling position and still did not receive the order to stand up.
The king's face turned dark, and his hair turned much paler overnight.
On the left and right sides of the king stood the Chief Paladin, Princess Bai Yue and the Seventh Prince Xia An.
The third prince, the second prince and the eldest prince stayed in Palace Hill to deal with the aftermath of the deceased important officials.
The king's breath was full of anger the whole time. His voice was not loud and every word he spoke was pronounced clearly. He did not curse loudly, but every word he said was like a heavy burden weighing on Zevaang's shoulders.
"...The work of the Almighty Eye this year is mostly to investigate the source of monsters. The soldiers and troops on the front line also need the intelligence of the Almighty Eye investigators to control the defense line. You will be in a tight spot if there is any disturbance. How..."
"Last night was the first night attack the empire had encountered in the past three hundred years, and it happened during the empire's wedding banquet. We don't blame you. As for the ten ministers and marquises who died last night, what do you think? Have you thought about what to do?"
"I thought you could always take precautions for the empire. I want to hear your excuses."
"...Last night, his chronic illness almost broke out. Padukan saved him and he did a great job. The Knight Commander remained calm in the face of danger. But you, with your national-level strength, were in the banquet hall, but you didn't notice anything unusual in advance?"
Zevaang's face was covered with cold sweat, thinking of the attack last night. He was a little drunk, but who could be sure that the thirty intermediate-level second-level magic warriors who suddenly landed on the Palace Hill were a group of assassins?
"I accept the guilt, there is no defense..."
Zewaang's voice and expression were stern, but he had already admitted his guilt in his heart.
"Without the Saint looking up to the Guild, our Almighty Eye can still break into the Coreroman Empire and directly attack the enemy's cabinet. I am willing to fight and bear the consequences..."
"Zewaang..."
The king interrupted, his tone suddenly flat and a little tired.
"The situation on the western front is that with the assistance of the Saint's Guild and the coalition's careful advances, and the lack of an extraterritorial monster teleportation array, we were able to occupy a piece of land."
"You mean to send people to attack the Coreroman Empire? With the national strength of their seven ministers, we can only be defeated!"
"You might as well send people to guard the eastern front as soon as possible. That's the granary of the empire..."
Zevaang did not dare to neglect it at all and responded: "...I promise that no assassins will appear in Palace Hill again."
afternoon……
Zevaang returned to the Almighty Eye and rearranged the personnel of each group. In response to the attack last night, he designed a plan to deploy some investigation teams to guard the domes of various high-rise buildings in the streets of the royal capital during major holidays.
The king did not directly punish Zewaang because the empire could not find a more suitable prime minister than Zewaang.
At noon on the same day, on the East China Sea of the Fuzhong Continent.
A large number of alien monsters appeared again in the sky in the southeast of Fuzhong Continent.
The number was even more terrifying than the first Dark Fire Wolf Demon Tide they encountered. Countless primary demon insects covered the clear sky. Some people, looking from afar, thought it was a gathering black cloud of demonic fog.
The army on the eastern front of the Fuzhong Continent has more than 400,000 soldiers, a small number of whom are from the Dark Elf Kingdom and the Gwebinin Empire. Now the three armies share the same hatred and are determined to guard the east coast defense line.
The army of monsters from foreign countries traveled day and night, flew over one island after another, and approached the continent of Fuzhong.
The adventurers of the Tiwuwaz Empire could no longer imagine what the East Continent had become like after it had fallen.
Pormon Port, Adventurer's Commune Hall.
Many adventurers read today's newspapers and discussed their own situations and the situation in the Oberic Empire. Some also discussed the current changes in the situation in the Fuzhong Continent.
The bespectacled magician man commented, "My goodness! A large number of refugees pour into the Tiuwazi Empire every day, especially the people of the Gwebinin Empire. They have all become the bottom-level peasants of Tiuwazi. Whoever doesn't work won't have enough to eat."
A magic swordsman wearing a black and red-patterned exquisite corset responded: "Fortunately, there are many fertile fields in the central plains of Fuzhong Continent. As long as we are willing to devote a lot of manpower to cultivate them, there will be enough surplus production to support the current 88 million people of Fuzhong Continent. It's enough!"
"Most of the wealthy people in the Gweibining Empire moved to the Snow Elf Kingdom with their families."
"As long as you sincerely kneel down at the foot of the Saint's Worship Guild or the Saint's Church, everyone will be safest."
The bespectacled magician sighed and continued, "The Snow Elf Kingdom is a neighbor of Coreroman, but they have not dared to attack the Snow Elf Kingdom so far, and not even a single monster has set foot in it. The Snow Elf Kingdom court seems impatient, but the king only obeys the orders of the Saint Maiden and the Guild, and has no plans to send troops to the Coreroman Empire."
"He's obedient! Once the Saint's Looking Up Guild takes down the Coreroman Empire, it will be an empire-destroying war, the Sun Star Core will be washed away, and the entire empire will be barren."
The magic swordsman asked in confusion, "So... why is the Saint Maiden Yangwang Guild busy with the North Moon Demon Cave? Why haven't they made any noise so far?"
"Hmm? It's all because of the Saint..."
The magic warlock pushed up his glasses and teased in a low voice.
"You all know that she is a very patient person. She won't leave unless the fire burns herself."
"Saint? The so-called Holy Light can only rely on the so-called super-level magic to intimidate... What does she know about saints? What kind of saint is she? What has become of Donglu now? She is still lying in the North Moon Demon Cave digging for her precious meteorite!"
"If she delays any longer, we will have even less space to survive..."
Deep underground in the pitch-black North Moon Demon Cave...
Isabella and the Saint's replica, who were mining meteorites, listened to the important news about Avilato brought by Shui Xi.
"What do you think is the purpose of Corey Roman Empire doing this? Our undercover Kelvin stand-in didn't know anything about this sudden incident."
Isabella was very confused. Assassinating Charlemagne's royal family would only arouse public anger. Did Torivia and the others think that they were not dying fast enough?
I still have too much time to spare recently, mining and making equipment. The most important thing is to have enough extraterritorial monsters to confront the demon envoys. The Sword of Final Admonition is still someone else's weapon from the beginning to the end.
Shui Xi lowered her head in thought, pondered Isabella's question, pinched her chin, and nodded as if she understood something.
"Oh! Miss Isabella, Kelvin's substitute is the captain of Love Harbor. Currently, the battle on the eastern front is being taken over by another captain, the Black Hourglass. Maybe the Magic Guest Group is secretly bypassing the eastern front, and we don't know. I heard that their team rotates once a week, and the army is stationed, and only the monster army is sent to attack the eastern front."
"They assassinated Charlemagne's royal family, put pressure on them, and dragged us down..."
"The more chaotic the world is, the better it is for the Magic Group. So you didn't let us go to the Palace Hill for the feast. Did you anticipate their actions?"
"As expected of Miss Isabella, you saw through their intentions at a glance."
Isabella widened her eyes, her face a little shocked. She had never thought about Shui Xi's ability to use her imagination. It sounded reasonable?
Isabella hesitated for a while, and finally spoke in a pretentious manner: "There may be more troubles for our guild in the future. You lead the thirteen holy envoys and do your best to help the Almighty Eye and the Oberic Empire."
After Isabella finished speaking, she saw Shui Xi turning around and immediately going to do it, and added confidently: "Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. When my Falling Star Sword is perfected, I will definitely chop all the way from the western battlefield to the eastern battlefield."
"It's true... As long as the Magic Group is not destroyed, the monsters from outside the domain will never stop."
