"Thank you very much for your kindness, Ms. Jerolul." Roland also replied politely.
At this time, Kahn Hammer's loud voice sounded: "Humph, when that time comes, the door of Stoneheart Castle will always be open for him, and there will be no need for you pointed ears to show false pity."
Roland shook his head helplessly. Why did both the elves and dwarves look like they were going to suffer?
But they can't be blamed, because they don't know that there are many powerful knights in the Golden Federation who haven't been summoned, whether it's the Calia Knight, the Furnace Knight, or the unconscious Malenia, who is killing them across the entire border. The Fenlei Fen dragons of the earth are still waiting to be called.
Not to mention there are many demigods who are good at fighting.
As a "demigod", Greg's strength is the weakest among them, and Malkit's true form has not come over either.
In fact, if he could summon a demigod right now, Roland would summon [Shattered Star General] Latarn without he valued was not Ratan's strength as the strongest demigod, but his ability as a general to command an army in battle.
"The cowards of the Geyue Dynasty dare not form an alliance with your Golden Federation, but we, the elves of the Glen Alliance, can." A female voice with a stern voice came, Qian Zhuola glanced at Ge who made a warning move with a disdainful look. The Elf of the Moon Dynasty let out a few sarcastic laughs.
Roland looked at the gray-skinned sister elf and nodded slightly to her: "I heard about you from Bernal, Ms. Qianzhuola."
"Then I can save some energy to explain my purpose." Qianzhuola said: "As long as you can provide those stones to our Rivendale Alliance, I can now make the decision to sign an alliance with your Golden Federation. If you are invaded by the enemy, When the time comes, we will send troops to fight with you.”
Jerolul frowned and said, "Qianzhuola, are you crazy? The involvement of elves in human affairs is not a trivial matter that can be fooled by a joke."
Qianzhuola responded unceremoniously: "That's why I said you white-skinned elves are a group of cowards who only listen to a tree. You, the Songyue Dynasty, have no right to criticize us for the decision of the Rivendale Alliance."
The gray-skinned elves behind Qianzhuola also made mocking sounds at the Songyue Dynasty's envoy.
Seeing the tense atmosphere on both sides, Roland quickly smoothed things over: "Ahem, Ms. Jerolul, please step aside for a moment. I want to have a good talk with Ms. Qianzhuola."
Jerolul glared at Qian Zhuola, and then warned Roland: "Be careful of these unbelieving elves, they will not obediently abide by the covenant."
Roland nodded to her, then watched the Songyue Dynasty's envoy leave before saying to Qianzhuola: "Do you really plan to form an alliance with the Golden Federation, and is it an offensive and defensive alliance?"
Qian Zhuola replied without hesitation: "Of course, the Glen Alliance only needs the so-called 'warm stone' from your Golden Federation. But we need a lot of it, and I don't know if your inventory is enough."
After hearing this, Kahn Hammer, who was eating melon on the side, tried hard not to laugh out had seen Roland just pick up a stone on the road, draw some symbols, inject blessings into the golden tree, and then throw it on the ground to turn into a stone that can glow and felt that Qianzhuola's business might be a loss to his grandma's family.
No, I can't laugh, I can't ruin my good brother's Hammer turned his back, his short but strong body trembling, making Kale Bloodstone next to him confused.
"Uh, is there nothing else?" Qianzhuola's request made Roland feel a little embarrassed.
Qianzhuola was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "Do you think the Rift Valley Alliance is not sincere in sending troops to help you resist the enemy's attack? Human Lord, you are a little greedy."
"No, I want to say that you only need hot stones and don't need anything else?" Roland said: "For example, I can sell you weapons and armor produced by the Golden Federation."
Qianzhuola shook her head: "No need, the weapons we forged ourselves are no worse than those made by the dwarves, and are even better, and the heavy armor will also slow down our movement."
When Karn Hammer Qiandra said about the weapons made by dwarves, she turned around and started to blow her beard, glared, and started to complain, but luckily she was stopped by Karai Bloodstone beside her.
Roland nodded slightly, pondered for a while and said: "Let's do this. I will send people from the Golden Federation to bring enough hot stones with you to the Glen Alliance to help you eliminate those shadow creatures. What do you think? After all, you are not If you don’t know much about the properties of hot stones, it’s definitely better to have a dedicated person accompany you than to fumble around on your own.”
Qian Zhuola blinked. She thought for a moment that this was indeed the case, and then said, "That's fine, but we can't guarantee their safety where shadow creatures are active."
Roland smiled and said, "Don't worry, the people I send must all be powerful masters. Please don't worry, Ms. Qianzhuola."
He learned from Bernal that Qiandra had been reluctant to part with the golden blessing in food, and knew that these gray-skinned elves were in a state of suppressing their desires for a long didn't have much idea at first, but he thought of an idea when Qianzhuola came to his door and asked for a covenant.
He wanted this group of gray-skinned elves who suppressed their desires to believe in the golden tree just like the white-skinned elves of the Songyue Dynasty believed in the holy tree, so that Roland would have a truly loyal ally.
But for this he needs to make some plans, such as completely eliminating the shadow from recent reports, a lot of dirty people over there have come to our side to cause trouble, so we just sent people to deal with them completely.
Roland had already calculated the candidate in his mind, so he asked Greg as the representative to take Blaze and some faded ones, who had nothing to do now, to the Rivendell Alliance to see what kind of creatures these shadow creatures were.
Chapter 136: The pursuit of the night cavalry
The news of the establishment of the Golden Federation spread to various countries in the Salid continent as the missions from various countries returned. Most countries expressed disdain for Roland's declaration, thinking that there was something wrong with this person's mind.
This included the Charles Empire and the Holy Empire of France.
"Extremely stupid." This was Emperor Latour's comment after listening to Prince Noel's report.
"Ha, is he crazy?" This was the first sentence the Emperor of Judah said after hearing this.
Only Lu Yi, the current president of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce, showed a solemn look after hearing the news from his subordinates.
Because she remembered these words, Roland said similar that time, she thought Roland was just a whimsical but very profitable fool, so Lu Yi soon abandoned him after plagiarizing all of Roland's whimsical ideas.
But after Lu Yi heard these words again after many years, he felt a little bit of terror in his heart.
When Roland said these words 35 years ago, she could regard him as a raving 35 years later, when Roland still insisted on his own ideas and had a large number of troops, Lu Yi would only think that he was a madman who would really do this.
The madman is not terrible. What is terrible is that this madman really has the ability to realize his ideas.
Then you should make plans Yi put down the tea cup in his hand, organized the documents on the table, and walked out of the study.
Roland's words were like pouring a cup of fuel into the lake on the Sarid continent. They were quickly diluted and did not cause any uproar or anything else.
But there are still some people who choose to believe in what Roland said and have hope despite the inhuman oppression every day.
This is enough for Roland that people are willing to believe him.
Roland was handling government affairs in the office. He looked up at Jonson Bloodhoof who was walking around in the office. He put down what he was doing and asked curiously: "Great Chief, you have been wandering around this office for a long time. What is going on?" Things make you so anxious? Sit down and talk slowly."
The tauren chief, who looked even more energetic under the blessing of gold, showed a rare expression of embarrassment. He pulled out a chair and sat down, then patted his ox's head with a generous palm and said to Roland: "Didn't I say that I would invite you before the founding ceremony?" Will the former royal family members of the Orc Kingdom also come to participate?”
Roland nodded: "Of course I remember it, but I remember that no relevant person seemed to show up until I started giving the speech."
Jonson Bloodhoof said: "For this reason, the tribesman who sent the letter told me that the other party did promise to come, but the result was that he didn't come, which made me a little worried. We orcs will not easily break the promise we made, unless we encounter something unexpected. What trouble has happened?"
Roland frowned slightly and said: "According to what you said, there is something wrong. Warchief, what do the orc royal members you invited look like? I'll first ask the patrol team in the federal territory if they have seen similar orcs. ."
Jonson Bloodhoof immediately replied: "The members of the orc royal family are composed of lion-headed people and tiger-headed people. This time I am inviting members of the tiger-headed family."
Roland looked a little weird after hearing this. If he remembered correctly, the list of "foreign mercenaries applying to join the Golden Federation" mentioned that several orcs with tiger heads and bodies had joined.
After he told Jonson Bloodhoof about this, the warchief couldn't help it.
"So those members of the royal family have directly become mercenaries hired by the Golden Federation?" The chief smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "Forget it, if this is their plan, I have nothing to stop them."
Roland asked: "There won't be any dissatisfaction from the tiger-headed royal family, right?"
Jonson Bloodhoof shook his head and said: "No, even if these royal members die on the battlefield, there will be no dissatisfaction unless they are told that they were framed."
Roland sighed inwardly and said that the orcs are indeed more tough in their behavior and they really don't care about the lives of the royal family members.
But for Roland, these tiger-headed men were potential allies that he could win over. Jonson Bloodhoof didn't care. He had to meet them for political purposes.
While Roland was dealing with government affairs and chatting with Jonson Bloodhoof, there was a quick knock on the office door.
"Please come in." Roland immediately raised his head and said.
The door was pushed open, and a homeless knight walked in. He immediately reported: "Lord Roland, some books on the history of the Golden Tree were stolen from the library. It was found that someone had used magic. And Austrian The delegation of the French Parliament left Stonewell City not long ago, and the mark showed that the stolen books were in the same direction as they left. There are already two homeless knights chasing the delegation of the French Parliament, and I came here to report this matter. Let me know.”
Roland showed a true expression. He had long heard that some mages from the Austrian Council had a habit of snatching books.
Then Roland nodded gently to the homeless knight: "I know, you handled it well. However, there are many mages in the Austrian Parliament's mission. Since they dare to know the law and break the law, they must be prepared to deal with you, the homeless knight. Targeted spells. I will ask Malkit to send additional pursuit personnel to join the two homeless knights. You should go back to the library and continue to be vigilant."
The homeless knight couldn't bow down to salute because he was wearing armor, so he just raised his hands in salute and immediately left the office. His heavy footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
"It's the Austrian Law Council again. I remember that they participated in the previous attack on Morn City. This time it's time to let the old and new grudges go together." Roland showed an evil look in his eyes and contacted Malkit through the golden tree. Explained this to him.
"I understand, Roland." Marchite nodded, and [Ominous Omen Demon] showed a ferocious smile: "I also heard that they said some insulting words to the residents when they were in Stonewell City, so I just happened to be here. Take good care of them.”
Roland thought for a moment and said: "Just a few days after the founding ceremony of the country, the delegation of the Austrian and French Parliament ignored the laws of the Golden Federation. This is undoubtedly a great disrespect for us. Malkit, be more ruthless. Let the Offa Council know that the Golden Federation is not just a soft-tempered country that can be manipulated by them."
Malkit replied: "Then why not dispatch them directly? Those four people will definitely give us a satisfactory answer."
"Okay, just in time to let people in this world know how terrifying the Death God is who has killed so many heroes, warriors, and knights." Roland said.
Malkit looked at the four people in front of him who were wrapped in darkness and ordered: "Go and hunt down those members of the Arcane Council who have violated the law, no matter where they are, no matter where they are."
"..."
The four night cavalry were silent, and they all knelt down on one knee to salute Malkite. Then they stood up and summoned their own strong horses also wrapped in black cloth from the magic circle, and turned over at extremely fast speeds. He galloped away from the side entrance of Stonewell City.
Residents from the junction subconsciously showed fear when they saw the galloping figure of the night cavalry. They recognized the four reapers who harvested the enemy in the darkness of the junction and mourned for the prey they targeted.
Others who didn't know why just felt the great pressure on the night cavalry, like a cold wind blowing past them, and then nothing happened.
In the territory of the Golden Federation, the members of the Offensive Council's mission were sitting in a stable magic carriage, meditating quietly.
The magic carriage is constructed of an unknown pure white magic material. The body is inlaid with various magic crystals, and the magic circle is painted with inscriptions such as "stability" and "reinforcement".What's more, special horses bred by people involved in life magic research in the Officine Council were asked to quickly pull these expensive carriages forward.
This time, the Austrian Law Council sent two legendary mages and their apprentices to attend the founding ceremony of the Golden Federation. There were more than 120 people in total.
Don't get me wrong, the reason why the Arcane Council sent two legendary mages does not mean how much they value the Golden Federation, but simply sent people to investigate whether the food in the Golden Federation territory can increase the probability of people opening magical intelligence.
Gildas Hayden and Fabio Iscober, two legendary archmages specializing in life magic, were wearing blue scholar robes and were riding in a magic carriage together, looking at a magic weapon purchased in Stonewell City. A piece of pastry food conveys the bright green magic ether in his hand.
The round cake exuding a sweet smell was suspended in the air under the ether released by the two archmages, and was continuously decomposed. From the cream, cake embryo, and ingredients, it was gradually decomposed bit by bit until there was nothing left in the air. There is only a ball of golden energy that can no longer be broken down.
Gildas opened his bright eyes, looked at each other in tacit understanding with Fabio who also opened his eyes, and nodded.
Although Gildas looks like a man in his prime, he is actually an old man in his late teens, and the same goes for Magic has a very unique way of maintaining your appearance.
Within the Arcane Council, female students account for the vast majority of applicants to practice life not everyone has the talent to learn life magic.
"It seems that this unknown golden energy is the key to whether a person's awakening is qualified to learn magic." Gildas said to his colleagues.
Fabio nodded in agreement: "Well, the question now is how to obtain this golden energy."
Gildas expressed his thoughts: "I think the answer to your question is very simple. I think the huge golden tree above Stonewell City is the source of this energy."
Fabio said: "Of course I know that my problem is not how it is generated, but how to obtain it stably and efficiently. I want to save this golden energy first and conduct experiments in my mage tower. Wanted to try to replicate that energy.”
Gildas's eyes showed a fierce light: "Those Muggles in the human kingdom don't know the preciousness of the golden tree, how could we not know it. Look outside, the various trees on the ground whose leaves turn into gold, and the eyes of wild animals. The faint golden light must be all caused by the golden tree. Its value is immeasurable. We should propose to the upper house of the Orr Parliament to capture the Golden Federation and take the golden tree as our own. With the ability of the golden tree , within ten years we, the Offa Council, will no longer be able to resist any other country on the Salid Road."
Fabio nodded first, then shook his head: "I also want to agree with your proposal, but there are already two demigods in the Golden Federation. If you want to occupy the golden tree, you will definitely have to encounter these two demigods. I'm afraid that by then the other demigods will The country will not agree to it. After all, no one wants to experience another terrifying demigod battle. Unless the two demigods can be killed as quickly as possible, there is really no chance."
"The Austrian Council itself does not have the ability to kill two demigods in a very short period of time, but how can we add those from other countries?" Gildas whispered.
Fabio frowned: "You mean to unite with other countries to attack the Golden Federation? But how can we, the Offa Council, monopolize the golden tree in this way? Although the kings of other countries are not smart, they are not fools. After they attack, You can definitely see the value of the golden tree.”
Gildas sighed, and then said with some itching teeth: "What kind of luck did this Golden Federation have to have such a magical holy tree? Even the elven holy tree of the Songyue Dynasty does not have this tree. The golden tree is precious.”
Fabio also nodded, then he remembered something and said: "I think your apprentice took a few books from the Golden Federation Library and did not return them. What category of books did he take? If it is about the golden tree I’m also interested in books.”
Gildas said: "Hey, not at all, just some books about the history of their country. I have read it, and there is nothing valuable in it, so I let my apprentice keep it for himself."
The two legendary mages were talking about this matter, not caring at all about what Roland emphasized at the founding ceremony.
The sky gradually darkened, the sun sank on the other side of the horizon, and the moon hung in the sky following its outline.
The carriage that the Offician Parliament envoy was riding in was still moving tirelessly towards its destination. However, not far behind them, four ghost-like black horses suddenly appeared carrying their masters. The moonlight shone on them in the dark. On his armor and cloak, a black smoke seemed to be drawn out from the ground.
"Find the target and prepare to eliminate it." The leader of the night cavalry held a sword-edged halberd that was as heavy as a hammer weapon and made a clear voice.
After the other three night cavalry heard this, they quickly dispersed. The four war horses advanced together, and under the protection of the night, they quickly shortened the distance from the Austrian Parliament's envoy.
Just when the Night Cavalry were still more than 300 meters away from the Officic Council envoy, a large number of elemental spells spurted out from the Officic Council envoy and flew towards the former, and then exploded in the face of the Night Cavalry, shaking countless dust.
On the carriage at the end of the Offensive Council's mission, a young apprentice of the Offensive Council looked disdainfully at the dust thrown away by the spell he cast, and was about to hold his staff and try to get back into the carriage.
"Da da da." Then the rapid sound of horse hooves from behind made him wary. He immediately turned around and recited a spell in his mouth, and the white ether shield began to gradually take shape in front of him.
But the young apprentice watched with desperate eyes as a pitch-black sword-edged halberd penetrated from the dust with a wisp of black light and sliced towards his head.
The shield shattered in response, and the apprentice was beheaded. However, the sword-edged halberd struck the magic carriage unabated. The thick blade cut off the carriage and splashed a few pieces of blood.
Chapter 137: Chasing by the Night Cavalry
The leading night cavalry suddenly felt a sense of obstruction in his hand. A green emerald-like protective shield suddenly appeared on the half-cut magic carriage, protecting the apprentices in the carriage.
The sound of spell energy passing through the air came, and another night cavalry used the side of the sword-edged halberd to help his companion block the opponent's attack.
The attack spell constructed by the green life ether bombarded the bladed halberd, but it did not shake it at all. The hands of the night cavalry seemed to be welded to the long handle of the bladed halberd.
"boom"
The upper half of the magic carriage fell off to the ground, and the wreckage was skillfully dodged by the night cavalry behind, exposing the situation inside the carriage.
The apprentice who had his arms or torso cut open in the carriage gradually healed his stumps under the caress of sufficient green life ether, and began to groan in pain.
Gildas's voice came from mid-air: "Which country are you from? The Offa Council doesn't seem to have offended you, right?"
Due to the encounter with his own apprentice who died just now, Gildas carefully applied many defensive spells to legendary archmage stood firmly on the roof of his carriage, holding a staff that looked like an emerald green branch. While talking, he wanted to figure out which force was attacking him, while secretly delaying Fabio's spell casting time. .
None of the members of the Austrian Council's mission recognized that these four night cavalry were pursuers from the Golden Federation. They only guarded against the homeless knights who might pursue them and even considered the Troll Knights, but they never thought that they would. There is such a cavalry unit that I have never seen before chasing me.
Because the soldiers of the Golden Federation have always given people a shining golden impression, even the exiled soldiers and homeless knights who are good at using storm combat skills give people a sense of uprightness.
Therefore, the mission of the Austrian Law Council could not associate the knight buried in the darkness with the Golden Federation for the first time.
The experienced Night Cavalry naturally knew what the other party had in mind. Before setting off, Malkit had told them the composition of the Austrian Council's mission. The other legendary mage who did not show up must be preparing. What kind of magic is aimed at one's own side?
Three night cavalrymen wielding swords and halberds clamped onto the backs of their horses. The horses under their crotches felt their master's intentions, and their strong limbs galloped across the ground, kicking up piece after piece of soil.
