Delfien was unusually quiet as she was taken away, but she kept staring at him with eyes like a viper, which made Brando shudder a little. To be honest, if it weren't for his relationship with Veronica, he really would have put this woman to death. Anyway, a bad relationship with the Prime Minister of the Empire was inevitable, and he thought that Cruz's people might not really dare to declare war on Erouine over a woman.
Laurenna watched Delfien being taken away, and the female Knight wanted to say something but couldn't for a moment. As an emissary of the Empire, it would naturally be disgruntled to be dealt with in this way, but the problem was that she didn't seem to have any right to be disgruntled.
She thought for a long time before saying weakly, "My Lord, I hope you can carefully consider the way you get along with the Empire."
"Of course I understand, but it also depends on who it is. I naturally know the difference between friend and foe. I can only say that Lady Veronica chose the wrong person to complete the wrong mission this time. "Brando replied.
He gestured to The Shire, and Laurenna and Filas, who were imprisoned in their chairs by magic, suddenly felt their bodies loosen. The female Knight was still able to maintain her composure. But her fiancé couldn't help but let out a long sigh immediately, staring at Brando with a little fear.
He had suffered a lot at the hands of the Prime Minister's daughter along the way because of his glib tongue, but he didn't expect such a terrifying woman to be locked up in the dark prison by this inhumane guy. He thought for a moment, and if it were him, he would certainly be reluctant to do so. Delfien's beauty was famous throughout the Empire.
Thinking of this, Filas couldn't help but look at Brando with some fear again. In his eyes, he had already decided that the other party was probably one of those legendary barbarians in the wilderness — no, he should be called a chieftain. No matter how beautiful a woman was, she was meaningless to such a boor, and in some Knight novels, it was even mentioned that these barbarians seemed to prefer men.
The young Knight's thoughts diverged to this extent, and he couldn't help but take another look at The Shire, who had been controlling him and Laurenna with magic, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Of course, Brando didn't know that some strange thoughts were running through the mind of the famous' idiot, and almost unbelievably lucky gigolo 'in history in front of him — this title wasn't given to him, but the real title of Cruz's number one lucky Knight in history. First of all, he defeated many outstanding children from various noble families in Cruz, and married Laurenna, Cruz's future's most talented beauty — Laurenna's future achievements in Cruz could even stand shoulder to shoulder with Freya's in Erouine, and because she had a higher starting point, her achievements far far far far beyond that of Laurenna's.. If he remembered correctly, Laurenna and Vahina later succeeded to the position of Azure Skies' Legion Commander.
This was enough to surprise people, but Filas's luck was more than that. Unlike all the other noble children who grew up in intrigue, this guy's process of inheriting the title could be said to be smooth sailing. As the only son of Prince Barrano, there were no competitors, and even the lack of pressure from the collateral branches. Such a twisty road to the title could be said to be enough to make everyone around him green with envy.
Later, our Mr. Knight participated in the Holy War at the call of His Majesty the Emperor, and then miraculously spent a considerable period of time in the front line of a hail of bullets without any war on the Eastern Front. After that, he inexplicably ushered in a series of incredible victories, and finally, his accumulated military achievements allowed him to ascend to the throne of the Imperial Legion Commander.
He was known as the Legion Commander who was picked up.
Later, as time passed, Mr. Filas had long been in power, and his story had long become the most legendary story among the bards.
Now, the legendary couple in this legendary story was sitting in front of him. They, Laurenna, was just a small Knight Captain under Veronica, and Filas was still an idle playboy. The journey of the two had not even begun, and he was more like a legendary figure in front of them. At least after the battle of Ampere Seale, Brando's reputation in Cruz was not limited to just being a Sword Saint.
Brando looked at the two people carefully. After a while, he picked up the envelope on the table again, glanced at it, and asked the female Knight.
"Lady Laurenna, may I ask — when did the people of Cruz become aware of this?"
Laurenna looked at him, slightly startled, and realized what he was asking. She frowned and replied with a businesslike expression, "Two months ago, my lord."
This question and answer was actually talking about the second matter mentioned in Veronica's letter to him. Compared to the first matter, which was neither painful nor itchy, the second matter was much trickier in Brando's opinion.
Things had to start with the battle of Ampere Seale. In that battle, Erouine's people finally shattered the three Doors of Flame and sent the demons back to their hometown under the Sulfur River — of course, Brando also experienced this part of the story himself. The demon army was defeated and fled in all directions, and then completely dispersed by the Silver Elves and the Highland Knight, as well as the Craftsman Mages who arrived later.
But there was still a small number of them who survived and escaped into the wilderness of Erouine. This small number caused a huge problem for the people of Cruz.
Originally, the whole thing should have come to an end after Cruz's people were forced to completely retreat from the port of Ampere Seale for the sake of saving face.
But perhaps no one would have thought that history would develop like this.
About the month of the first lunar month, the monks from the Holy Cathedral of Fire found that the three Doors of Flame were missing to varying degrees after thoroughly cleaning up the battlefield. These missing Doors of Flame were quickly sent back to Cruz for the high-ranking priests to identify. Only half a month later, the news that the entire Holy Cathedral of Fire was shrouded in a nightmare was confirmed.
The missing parts of the three Doors of Flame were almost enough to form a new portal.
So it was obvious. In other words, there was at least one or more groups of demons, cave dwellers, cultists, or something similar from the underground of Jorgendy Ridge with these fragments and were preparing to do something bad in Erouine's territory.
For the Holy Cathedral of Fire, this was simply a ridiculous joke.
Or rather, it was a resounding slap to the face of the Holy Cathedral of Fire. Even Brando couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he saw the news, let alone the others. Although it was an almost open secret that the Holy Cathedral of Fire was infiltrated by All For One, he didn't expect the other party to be so useless.
It was no wonder that the power core of the Cruz Empire was leaning more and more towards the royal power day by day. In the face of such a useless enemy, it was difficult for Her Majesty the Silver Queen to not win.
Brando thought silently for a moment, then shook the letter in his hand. Now he was almost certain that Veronica must be having trouble sleeping and eating at the moment. If possible, he was afraid that the Army Commander would rather not send this letter to him. The Cruz Empire had never been so humiliated in a century, and it was continuous humiliation.
But the problem was that there was now a group of people who were wandering around with these fragments of the portal, and could find an energy core to rebuild the portal at any time. Veronica couldn't turn a blind eye to it.
This was actually not a serious problem for Erouine. After all, if they could get rid of three portals, they could naturally get rid of an incomplete temporary portal. But it was a big problem for the Holy Cathedral of Fire, no matter when or where the portal was built by these cultists.
Even if it was built in a random pigsty in Erouine's countryside, the Holy Cathedral of Fire would not be able to raise its head in front of the other major Holy Cathedrals for at least half a century. As for the Holy War, it might be better to just hang up the truce sign and hand over the benefits in their hands.
Besides, the problem of face was secondary. Such an incident would be the biggest blow to the reputation of the Holy Cathedral of Fire, and would inevitably cause many people's faith to waver. Brando never thought that the largest number of farmers and craftsmen among the believers of the Holy Cathedral of Fire would have strong faith, and once faith collapsed, it was difficult to rebuild.
But this was not the biggest disaster. For the people of Cruz, the worst possibility was that these cultists would bring the fragments of the portal back to the Cruz Empire. For the sake of Martha, just imagining that scene would probably give the higher-ups of the Holy Cathedral of Fire nightmares at night.
Not to mention that the demons would study and replicate these fragments. Although this possibility was very small, once it was successful, the higher-ups of the Holy Cathedral of Fire would probably have to atone for their sins with death.
If it were not such a serious situation, perhaps the arrogant Green Sword Saint would not have hoped that he would prioritize protecting the Holy Cathedral of Fire. To be honest, as a person of Erouine, Brando was happy to see Cruz lose face, but Veronica's words actually meant that she hoped that he would help out on account of their past friendship.
If one were to say who had the most real power in the southern part of Erouine, it would naturally be him and Her Royal Highness, who had the support of the Highland Knight, Duke Anthony and the Southern Legion. That was why this letter was sent to him and Princess Gryphine.
Thinking of Veronica, Brando could not help but sigh.
To be honest, the female commander of the Cruz Empire had left a good impression on him. Besides, there was also Vahina, and he knew that in private, the arrogant young lady actually regarded him as a friend.
"After you found out, the Azure Skies Legion immediately entered Erouine?" He thought for a moment and asked again.
"No, in fact, it was a big shot of the Holy Cathedral of Fire who asked Lady Veronica for help. I don't know exactly who it was. Because this matter is so important, not many people even within the empire know about it. "Laurenna replied.
Brando could not help but shake his head, "You also know that it is important, but the person who was sent as an envoy seems to be a bit lacking in consideration."
The female Knight was slightly startled and immediately showed a look of hesitation. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
