Blue Sword

Ask thought for a moment and asked: "Then what are they planning to do, to transfer more people from the empire?"

"Your Majesty plans to negotiate with the city-state of Venis to the east first and let them come out." Eleanor said, "I heard that there is a councilor in Venis named Sansovino, who is a low-level person who masters the law of 'black holes'." Demi god."

"I know, it's a black hole excavator." Asik understood immediately.

The black hole law condensed from the shadow sequence can create a portal that distorts time and space, transferring objects from the main plane to another space.

For example, last year in Constantinople, when Asker used a sniper rifle to assassinate Enrique from a long distance, the shadow demigod next to him activated the black hole law and erased the sniper rifle bullets.

This rule is especially useful in civil engineering. When you need to excavate something underground, just open the black hole and press down, and the soil underneath will disappear. The player forum jokingly calls it "New Oriental" Professional black hole excavator”.

As long as this demigod is invited and the black hole law is activated to plow the minefield, there will naturally be no danger.

Asker pondered: "So you are negotiating with Venis now? Are you asking them to provide support?"

"Yes, people have been sent there." Eleanor paused, showing a somewhat dumbfounded expression, "But I heard that Venis has also been in a mess recently. I'm afraid that whether it is negotiation, pressure or force, it will not be very serious. smoothly."

"A mess?"

"Yes." Eleanor sighed and said, "I heard that Governor Venis was hanged at the city gate just the day before yesterday."

"The murderer is a pure-blood cloister."

Ask:………………

"Why did they hang Governor Venis?" Ask asked wonderingly.

"I don't know." Eleanor shrugged.

Don’t guess at the motives of the Pure-blood Hermitage. Last time, a demigod openly assassinated another demigod because of a personal grudge. Who knows if Governor Venis and the Pure-blood Hermitage had a personal grudge?

"Okay." Asik said that it's none of our business and let the empire's higher-ups worry about it. "I'll go upstairs."

"Asker..." Eleanor stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Eleanor shook her head.

What's going on with this girl recently? She always hesitates to say anything. Ask was speechless, then pointed upstairs and said:

"I'm going to give the potion to Medea."

"Okay." Eleanor nodded, "I'm going back to practice."

She teleported back to Hearthfire Island, came to the open space where she usually practiced swordsmanship, and picked up her long sword.

Actually, what she wanted to say was that her Unyielding Holy Sword had made some progress recently.

Eleanor raised the sword, her will condensed into white light on the blade, and then struck down hard.

The sword struck the target, and the white light immediately dissipated. However, it did not directly explode like before, but slowly condensed on the sword again.

However, the leader probably won't care too much about such a small progress, right?

It would be better to wait until there is a real breakthrough before looking for him.

————————

Around the small town of Valdagno, more and more imperial soldiers were injured.

Although the dukes were concerned about preserving their strength and were unwilling to let their soldiers risk their lives, the emperor came up with a new way.

Bounty.

Use high bounties to lure soldiers to try out and find effective ways to clear mines, or find a safe way out of minefields.

With a lot of money, there must be brave men, but after all, courage can't do anything with mines, so soon some soldiers were blown to pieces, or had their hands and feet broken, lying in the minefield and wailing miserably.

Such a tragic situation obviously had a more serious negative impact on morale, so the Dukes once again joined forces to find Emperor Otto and said that your policy would not be effective. After all, the soldiers had not received professional training and could not handle such things as landmines. thing.

Emperor Otto said, "Since the Holy See dares to bury landmines on its own territory, there must be a way to dig them out again." "We just need to find this way."

The Duke of Franconia said angrily at the time that the Holy See used synthetic humans to clear mines, so there was no need to feel bad even if they were killed in an explosion. Although our empire does not have synthetic humans, His Majesty does have giant dragons. Wouldn't it be enough to let the two giant dragons roll around on the ground, explode all the landmines, and claw their way out alive?

As a result, His Majesty the Emperor exploded at that time, pointing at the old griffon's nose and calling him a "traitor", and wanted the Blade Warriors to arrest him.

The Duke could only rush up to break up the fight and separate the two guys who were yelling at each other angrily.

So the negotiations broke up unhappily. After the Duke of Bavaria came back, he told Henry and Eleanor about the incident and asked the two children to think about what to do next.

Naturally, Eleanor went back to find Asker and asked the leader to think about what to do.

"Nothing can be done." Asik said, "Landmines require either technology or extraordinary power. It is unrealistic to solve them manually. The emperor will understand after bombing them a few times. Didn't he say that he was going to find the Venisians before? ?”

"Venis is in chaos now. Many citizens suspect that the empire colluded with the Pure Blood Monastery and conspired to hang Governor Venis. Therefore, the city council is still discussing whether to cooperate with the imperial army." Eleanor sighed and said, "But His Majesty the Emperor obviously can't wait any longer."

Ask was also speechless. Emperor Otto was obviously shot while lying down. Everyone knows that the empire's current top priority is to march south as quickly as possible before the Holy See's productivity has recovered. How can it have time to compete with your small city-state of Venice?

However, is there any connection between Emperor Otto and the Pure Blood Monastery?

In an instant, another idea came to Asker's mind. When Agrippina wanted to assassinate the demigod of the Wolfe family, the reason was that her apprentice was instigated by the other party and died.

Is this reason true? If the Emperor and the Pure Blood Monastery had long been connected and wanted to end the civil war as soon as possible and conquer the Holy See southward...

Ask suddenly felt that the water here was very deep. The Saxon royal family, the Holy See of Solomon, the Pure-blood Monastery, the devil, the jailer, Venis... all the forces are complicated. On the surface, the conflict between the imperial royal family and the Holy See is the main conflict. In fact, it is unknown what forces are secretly involved. Secretly colluding with each other and plotting.

It's completely unlike the main plot in the original game world: the emperor marches south to the Holy See, fights until he can't defeat it, and finally surrenders to the Pope... It's not that simple at all.

It might not be a wise move for my small mercenary group to rush into the center of this whirlpool undercurrent.

Well, either I just have to settle for a while.

"Don't worry about this." Asik finally said, "Anyway, we can't come up with any countermeasures. Most of the dukes can only respond passively. If the emperor wants to offer a reward, let him do it. If you blow it up a few times, the soldiers will know that there is a problem. At that time, the emperor will still have to come back to the dukes to discuss countermeasures again."

"Speaking of which, hasn't your Will IV potion arrived yet? I don't know when this deadlock will be broken. The war is coming every minute, and the danger to the imperial army will increase. Upgrading as soon as possible is our first priority. First priority."

Shortly before Cangqing Sword responded to the call, Asker found the Duke of Bavaria and told your daughter Eleanor that she was only one "Will IV" away from being promoted to Level 10, and her bloodline was complete.

What he means is that if there are any other tasks on Weisbach's side, our Cangqing Sword will do it for you and exchange for the last magic potion.

As a result, the Duke of Bavaria actually said that there was nothing that needed to be done for the time being.

You can give me the potion as a reward first, but as for the mission... I owe it to you, and we’ll talk about it later.

The old father’s heart for boxing is most vividly reflected here.

"Father said that the ancestors have entrusted an old friend to help collect spiritual materials." Eleanor said truthfully, "It may take a few weeks to deliver them."

"Well, can you tell them to hurry up?" Asik pondered.

"Of course not!" Eleanor couldn't laugh or cry. The fact that a demigod is willing to help you collect magic potions is already a sign of kindness, okay? It would be too rude for you to urge the demigod.

However, Eleanor also vaguely noticed that something was wrong. My demigod ancestor, Lord Feng Luhuo, used to live in seclusion and pay no attention to worldly matters. Even if his father asked him for help, it was often difficult to ask him to help.

Why are you so concerned about my potion this time? Did my father pay an extra price for me?

Just as she was thinking wildly, her second brother Henry suddenly rushed in from the door.

"Eleanor!" After confirming that his sister was staying here safe and sound, he breathed a subtle sigh of relief and said seriously:

"His Majesty the Emperor has been assassinated!"
