The streets of Muxilon were bustling and full of order. Sometimes it was hard to imagine that Muxilon was a place filled with corruption, swamps, ruins, and decay a decade ago.
Laing did not hide any of his plans. The Sun King walked in front and let Suria follow half a step behind him. His face was solemn. "Lauen has the support of the local army and the army we sent over in Kislöw. Tell him that we can prepare for the big retreat as soon as possible."
"Is it that urgent?" Suria was a little puzzled. The female knight thought for a while and held her husband's hand tightly. "The Army of Chaos has just attacked. Even if we defend along the Linsk River, our Northern Army should be able to hold on for a while. Do we really have to prepare to retreat in such a hurry? This will be a great blow to the army's morale. "
"Our Northern Army can't defend Kislöw." Laing sighed. He subconsciously wanted to put his hands behind his back, but the Sun King immediately realized that Suria was holding his hand, so he held his wife's hand tightly and said meaningfully, "All we can do is delay, delay the Army of Chaos and buy time for the Empire to perfect its defense."
"Can't we even defend the city to the death?" Suria asked softly.
"It depends on what the Eternal Chosen One thinks." Laing smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It also depends on the speed of the Army of Chaos to the south and whether there will be internal strife."
Since the end of Motekin's invasion, Kislöw had been almost destroyed. Oster and Ostermark Province were half destroyed. In just six years, it was already very impressive to be able to restore production, let alone restore the military strength of the past.
Therefore, after the March Storm battle, Laing ordered Duke Vladimir of Örengrád and Marshal Lauen to reclaim Kislów Castle and Prague City and build the two cities into permanent fortresses. At present, Prague City and Kislów Castle had basically abandoned residential and administrative purposes and were built into special military fortresses.
This was the result of the great help from the Dwarves of Lone Dragon City.
"Laing, I've thought about it carefully. Madam's opinion is reasonable." Suria thought for a moment and decided to be blunt. "I understand your decision to not resurrect Nagash, but if we don't resurrect Nagash, what are we going to rely on to stop the Army of Chaos? Laing, does Lord Foster Father … have any ideas? "
"You mean father?" Laing hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Chaos has already sealed the entrance to this world. Father and his people won't be able to enter for the time being. But that's not certain. Father and I will see if there's any other way."
"Then why did you tell the lady that you can get reinforcements?" Suria did not know whether to laugh or cry. The female knight could not help but pinch Laing's palm. "Why would you say something you're not sure about? This is not like you."
"If I don't tell her that I have a way, she will act on her own." Laing complained, "It's not the first day you know about Madam. She always has a bunch of ideas and her head is full of ideas to cause trouble."
"Pfft ~ That's true." Suria was amused by Laing. She knew her good sister. The Lake Fairy did have her own ideas at all times.
This topic ended here. Soon, the two of them walked in front of a dessert shop.
This dessert shop was opened by Talleyrand. It was called White Lion Dessert House. It sold a large number of high-end desserts. The price was very expensive. However, it was said that if you bought a lot of desserts, you could apply for a "Gold VIP Membership" here. With the membership, you could sometimes participate in some activities. For example, Talleyrand held high-class tea parties and wine parties. You could get the opportunity to meet this Cripple Gao Jing, the popular person in front of the Sun King.
Some people could even use this opportunity to be introduced to the great nobles and their wives!
Laing turned a blind eye to this because Talleyrand collected a lot of information through this method. At the same time, Cripple could also use the dessert house to investigate many secret societies hidden in the streets of Muxilon.
For example, the president of the most famous socialite society in the capital of the Empire, Brunswick. She was the director of the Empire's Archives Bureau and the chief intelligence officer under the Minister of Intelligence, Helena Von Cooper. She was actually a senior member of the Lemia Sisters. On one hand, she did her best for the Empire's intelligence and was deeply trusted by Emperor Karl-franz and the Chief of Spies, Amadeus Mencken. On the other hand, she was constantly providing information to Nefrata and was dedicated to fighting the Chaos Cult in Brunswick. She had achieved great results many times and was known as the "Enemy of Chaos" and the "Defender of the Capital".
This senior sister of the Lemia Family was so strong that she was not afraid of sunlight, silver, holy water, garlic, and all kinds of holy weapons. She was not even afraid of looking in the mirror. Only Talleyrand saw through her true identity. It was a few subconscious subtle movements that belonged to the aristocratic etiquette of the ancient city of Nicohala Lemia.
The sound of the wind chime brought in two guests. The shop assistant, who was very observant, knew that Laing and Suria were nobles just by looking at their attire.
"Madam, sir, you came at the right time. We have just made a batch of soufflé," the shop assistant said very flatteringly. "Would you like to try it?"
"Okay." Laing took the small plate and tasted it.
It was sweet and fragrant, loose and soft. The Sun King could not help but say, "Not bad, not bad."
"Sir, you really know how to taste desserts," the shop assistant said enthusiastically. "Madam, would you like to try it too?"
"Come, madam, try it too." Laing brought the soufflé to Suria's mouth.
Suria politely took a small bite and could not help but squint her eyes. "Well, it's really not bad."
The couple looked at each other and smiled. Almost at the same time, they said, "It's a little sweet."
"Hahahaha!"
"Of course." The shop assistant immediately said proudly, "Sir, madam, even the Sun King and the queen said that the pastries made by our White Lion Pastry House were delicious!"
Laing: "…"
Suria: "…"
Brother, you really hit the nail on the head.
"Well, are you sure that the Sun King has really eaten it?" Laing was very calm.
"Of course. Let me tell you, sir, this is a secret of the palace. Our owner, Lord Talleyrand, often brings our pastries into the palace to present to His Majesty, the Sun King." The shop assistant was very excited. "If you want to try the pastries that the Sun King usually likes, just come to our White Lion Pastry House!"
"Alright then. Since it's the Sun King's favorite food, I'll give you two boxes. Sylvie, pay up ~"
After coming out of the pastry house, Suria took Laing's arm and said meaningfully. The female knight felt that her mouth and heart were sweet. "Follow the example of your superiors, Laing."
"It can't be helped." Laing shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Oh? Is that so? Ever since the Sun King ascended the throne, whether it was the court ladies or witches, everyone was proud to wear silk stockings to important occasions, especially in Brittany and Nur. Now, in the entire Old World, silk stockings were considered a necessary item that symbolized the noble status of women. Your Majesty, can you tell me that it can't be helped? "Suria smiled and said in Laing's ear," Our Majesty is really working hard! In order to promote the popularity of the Old World, he spared no effort. "
"Uh …" Laing forced a smile and said in Suria's ear, "Madam, you're being sarcastic again."
"Why? Didn't you say that you like it?" Suria gently reached out and tucked her long, bright golden curly hair behind her ear. The female knight said, "I'm just playing along with your performance."
"Hahahaha!" Laing also said meaningfully, "You've been my wife for decades, Suria. It seems that you haven't learned how to be 'obedient'."
"If Your Majesty wants to find an obedient woman, you can find one everywhere." Suria ignored Laing's' threat '. "As long as Your Majesty says the word, there will be countless girls, ladies, and even madams coming to Fontainebleau Palace for you to choose from. Why do you need to find an obedient woman from me? You can go to Teresa and the others, you can go to Olica, or even Veronica and Morgiana. Why come to me? "
“Thehistorymirrorsboththrivingandcalamity。” Laing nodded. He couldn't help but hug his wife softly. "You're right, Suria. Everybody wants something from me. Power, wealth, strength, and status, but you don't have it. So, whatever you say to me, no matter how unpleasant it is, I'll listen to it."
Su Liya's face bloomed with a smile as brilliant as an iris flower, making people feel intoxicated.
Sylvia followed them. She was jealous, envious, and happy. She envied Suria's unique position in Laing's heart, but she was also happy that the couple was in a good relationship. She was happy for the marriage and for her lady's happiness.
"Helmut, Kurfürst of Tara Beheim, has gone missing. The whole city is in chaos right now. Shouldn't you ask Bertrand if the Lord of Nature has an oracle? Otherwise, the city known as the Eye of Tara can't go on like this, can it? Also, in Mildenheim, your old friend Boris has suffered a blow and is living in seclusion. Then, the White Wolf Knights have started an internal investigation. Everybody is in danger. " Suria continued, "The Northern Legion can't get help from Mildenheim or Tara Beheim, and the most elite and powerful troops in the north of the Empire are in these two cities."
"Why are things always so bad in the Empire?" Laing complained.
"A letter from Helena, the Empress of the Empire, says that the Emperor has done his best." Suria was also helpless. "I didn't expect that the believers of Chaos had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Empire so deeply. Did nobody know? You didn't recognize them back then? "
"After seeing the performance of the Teuton Guards in the Battle of the Three Kings, nobody would associate them with the believers of Chaos." Laing sighed. "The same goes for the Armoured Nur. Frey said in his letter that most people don't know that they believe in an evil god. They all think that they believe in a righteous god. Also, the wind of Chaos blows from the South Pole and the North Pole to the whole mortal world. As long as anyone is alive in the mortal world, there will more or less be a little influence or residue of Chaos. According to the conditions that can't be met, at least eighty percent of the people in a village will be burned at the stake. I won't blame them even if I kill all the witches in the sorceress assembly."
"I think you're just reluctant." Sulia couldn't help but laugh. The queen thought of something else. "The matter of Aurora's knighthood, I refuted her, using Morgianna's name."
"Okay, I got it." Laing expressed that he understood. In fact, it didn't matter whether the conferment was conferred or not.
"Sometimes, love is enough to hurt. If it weren't for your excessive indulgence, they wouldn't have dared to make such a request." "I've helped you this time, so don't push this kind of thing to me next time," Sulia said without hesitation.
"It's my fault. It won't happen again." Laing admitted his mistake frankly.
"Speaking of which, where are Pétain and the others?" Suria asked another question that interested her. "I saw them in the Fontainebleau Palace two days ago. I haven't seen them in the past two days."
"In the Duchy of Gisoleiox, the bishop of the Westminster Cathedral suddenly had a seizure. He used a knife to cut open the black sores hidden on his back and dripped the pus into the holy water of the Lady, causing hundreds of people to contract the disease. I've already sent Pétain and the others to deal with it." Laing said coldly, "At the same time, seven nuns in Culona suddenly contracted seven diseases at the same time. They also massacred everyone in the sanatorium that day. Kalad has already brought people to deal with this matter."
"How could this happen? Why didn't you tell me?" Suria asked in surprise.
"There are many things to do." Laing looked up at the sky. "Father's Royal Guard in the Chalon Forest reported that it's only been a few weeks since the beginning of the year, and they've already killed hundreds of Orcs. These beasts suddenly appeared from the forest like a gust of wind. They don't intend to reason at all."
"The Arden Forest isn't safe either." Suria nodded. "We've already deployed a large number of troops at the border of the forest."
As soon as Suria finished speaking, Laing suddenly felt something.
Or rather, the entire world suddenly felt something!
A thunderclap boomed in the sky!
Like a violent storm, pure chaos engulfed the entire mortal world, sweeping across the land with mysterious fury. Blood rained down like a storm. No matter where it came into contact with living flesh, it would boil and burn.
The sky and fields were illuminated by colorful flames. The clouds and stars twisted into evil grinning faces, witnessing the arrival of destruction!
Laing was shocked.
Not good, one of the most important guardian nodes has lost its effect!
The Gray Knight subconsciously looked towards the southeast.
… I'm Laing's section break …
From Brittany, to the Black Mountain Range, to Tyrell, to the prince's territory at the border, to the southern end of the Roof of the World, and then to the legendary Dragon Archipelago, where the dragons that once ruled the world buried themselves.
"Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah yeah! "
The space wolf gene prototype, Liman Ruth, raised his fist towards the sky.
He had won! A complete victory!
Our original body, Father's good son, Ruth, and his wolf guard, Bjorn, had just defeated and driven away an entire Dark Elf Legion. Even the leader of this legion, Marus-Blackblade, who was known as the left and right arm of the Witch King, was defeated by Liman Ruth. If Ruth had not deliberately held back, Marus-Blackblade would definitely have fallen here.
Soon, the Dark Elves escaped on the Black Ark.
This time, Ruth had learned from his previous experience of causing trouble. He did not kill this group of pointy ears. Instead, he generously and benevolently let this group of elves go after a slight punishment.
Ruth thought to himself, This way, they won't cause any trouble, right? I'll let the pointy ears go this time.
Unfortunately, Rus had only found a few Ancient Saint relics during his exploration of the Dragon Archipelago. Furthermore, as he could not solve the puzzles or understand the hints in the Ancient Saint text, the Wolf King did not find anything. After making a big round, Rus decided to leave with Bjorn.
By the way, Ruth had received a request for help from the High Elf Giant Eagle on the way. He also understood the giant eagle's language, but not only was the wolf king not worried about the little queen, he even applauded loudly.
That's great! Now that the pointy ears' attention is on the little queen, they shouldn't come to trouble me anymore, right?
The wolf king drove away the giant eagle and thought happily.
However, what Ruth did not expect was that the Hagg-Grave Legion led by Marus-Blackblade was actually ordered by the Witch King, Malecis, to investigate and protect a very important guardian node on the Dragon Archipelago.
And not long after Ruth drove away the Dark Elves and left, a group of Skaven Ratmen appeared on the ancient saint relics.
They were the famous Moldkin clan.
Under the orders of the clan warlord, dozens of dimension bombs were transported into the ancient saint relics. Then, a huge explosion completely destroyed this great guardian node!
The wind was howling, the rats were crying ~
The Horned Rats were roaring ~
"It's, it's the Horned Rats' voice, yes, yes, the rat, the rat god is calling, calling us!"
“yesyes~”
“killkill~kill~all!”
"Hairless things, all of them, diedie ~"
Under the yesyes that spread throughout the island, with the collapse of this great guardian node, it was like the collapse of a stable triangle. The Lizardmen in Lucia, the High Elves in Ossouin, and Laing, who was looking at the sky, felt it almost at the same time.
The great guardians of the world were violently impacted, the great whirlpools began to fluctuate violently, storms spread rapidly, because neither the mountains nor the sea could stop their advance. The demon army poured out of these whirlpools and was once again released to take revenge on the world.
Dozens of chaos demon armies descended on the world.
Khorne laughed wildly.
Tzeentch laughed sinisterly.
Nurgle laughed foolishly.
Lascivious laughed evilly.
