Chapter 05 Human Civil War

Arthur and Joan rushed to the entrance of the cave quickly, and saw countless torches sparsely scattered on the hillside. Dozens of torches moved in the cave where Joan and the others were.

Qiong's face immediately changed, "The other party came so fast? How did they find this place?"

"They didn't know where we were, they were just searching in a dispersed manner. The other party calculated that we didn't run far with the seriously injured Spence."

"You carry Spence on your back and we will fight out immediately." Joan was about to take action.

Arthur stopped Joan, "Don't be impulsive. These searchers are just private troops of local nobles, and their purpose is to alert the snakes and wait for us to rush out on our own initiative."

"If you don't rush out here, you'll be discovered soon."

Arthur's brain was spinning rapidly, "We won't be in conflict with them head-on. I'll use black fog to cover and move it first."

Joan had a hint of worry, "Didn't that completely reveal your dark magic?"

"Since the church has determined that I am involved with the Dark Magician, it is meaningless to hide it. Use the Dark Magic to attract the church's attention here, and we will find a way from other places."

After Arthur said that, he went back to the cave and re-examined Spence's bandaged wound, and then carried him on his back regardless of his objection.

Then Arthur began to release magical black fog at the entrance of the cave. Once Arthur, who was already at the peak of level 4 dark magic, exerted all his strength, he quickly created a large area of ​​black fog covering the surrounding area.

Spence was also surprised to see the black fog surging around him. Unexpectedly, Joan's friend was actually a dark magician, but he said nothing.

"I hope there is no church light pastor among the searchers. This black fog can win us a lot of time." Arthur murmured in a low voice, turned around and climbed towards the top of the mountain.

Arthur was still betting this time, after all, the dark magician has disappeared in the ordinary world for many years. If it weren't for the Light Priest who often dealt with the dark magician, it would be difficult to connect with the dark magician as soon as possible after entering this black fog.

After a short stay, Arthur and Joan embarked on the road to escape again, but there was an unexpected Spencer on the road.

......

Black Rock Town Tavern.

The bustling tavern was closed due to the storm in the evening, and a row of punishment knights stood outside the tavern.

The lights in the tavern were dim. A cool woman in a red robe leaned against the bar with a wine glass in her hand, and an old man with a hanging eyebrows and hooked nose was slowly paced in front of the bar with his hands on his back. There were only these two people in the entire bar.

"Captain Fast, is there no news yet? Can I go back to sleep? I actually asked the Saint of Fire to wait for one night for the sake of the two little devils." This woman is the Saint of Fire, one of the two Saints of the Church of Light.

The deaths of the two commanders of the Reverend Tone and the Punishment Knights Ingersoll and Frum greatly reduced the high-end combat power of the Inquisition. The Pope had to send the saint of Flame to temporarily assist the Inquisition to pursue Alman and the Great Austin Magician, and transferred Bishop Fast from the Inquisition to be the Chief of the Reverend, responsible for pursuing the Dark Magician and Arthur.

Fast had seen this woman's hot temper back then, and hurriedly smiled: "Thank you, the Saint, if it were just those two little ghosts, they wouldn't dare to bother the Saint, but they didn't know why these two people got together with Spence, the City Guard rebel, and seriously injured a general outside the tavern in the evening, so we dare not be careless."

The Flame Saint yawned, "Okay, don't explain it anymore. Do you know how much harm it is to stay up late for women? No matter what Spencer I don't care about, I'm only interested in the great magician of the Fire system. Don't bother me before Arman's exact whereabouts."

After saying that, the Holy Maiden of Fire ignored Fast's reaction and threw the wine glass in her hand casually and pushed the door away.

Fast smiled bitterly and shook his head. Except for the Pope, I'm afraid anyone can't do anything to this saint of flame.

Fast continued to pace in front of the bar, but his eyes were shining with a cold light, "Where did this little guy Arthur go? You will definitely not be able to escape this time."

The tavern door was suddenly pushed open at this moment, "Report, Priest, a large area of ​​dark magic was found on the barren mountains outside the town."

......

The human civil war has been fighting for half a month. Even though Rock and Rouge pushed all their troops to the front line, they were still beaten backwards by Isaac and Kildan's troops.

Including Bados, the army of the three central countries has not experienced wars between different races for too long. The gap between individual combat power and military strength is extremely obvious after the war begins. Even though all the troops in the kingdom fight to defend the land, they still lost nearly one-third of the land in just half a month.

The Empire of Light had to mobilize the Empire's Western Legion and Southern Legion to support Locke and Rouge respectively, and urgently recruited 200,000 private troops from the imperial nobles. It was only before all 400,000 troops could be pushed to the front line of the battlefield to barely stabilize the situation.

To make the empire worse, the situation in the south and west had just stabilized, and the Norman Kingdom sent troops immediately after Isaac and Kildan. At this time, the empire only had 100,000 troops left for mobilization by the Eastern Legion. The Northern Legion was disbanded during the rebellion of His Highness and had not yet been reconstructed, and the City Guards and the Imperial Guards were responsible for guarding Alantis.

Under the instruction of the empress, the new emperor Grantham had no choice but to ask for help from the Kingdom of Holo to send troops to help the Empire resist the Norman invasion. The price paid by the Empire was to formally recognize that half of Bados' territory belonged to Holo and to bear all the late supplies and military supplies for Holo to send troops this time.

The Hollo army, the strongest military strength among all countries, participated in the war and immediately blocked Norman's offensive. With the cooperation of the Eastern Legion, the Norman army was firmly suppressed on the border without any progress.

The Battle of the Six Kingdoms turned into a long tug-of-war.

Imperial Palace, Fengluan Pavilion.

The emperor and empress should be the empress dowager now, sitting leisurely on the phoenix chair and drinking tea.

Grantham, who was already the emperor, still sat respectfully on his mother's lower head. Unlike the Queen Mother's leisure, Grantham was full of anxiety.

The Empress Dowager frowned at Grantham's appearance, "You are now the Emperor, you must learn to be happy and angry. If even the Emperor is panicked, what will the ministers below think and do?"

"What the Queen Mother blames is, but the situation is like this, isn't the Queen Mother in a hurry at all?"

"Worry? Why are you anxious?" The Empress Dowager asked unexpectedly.

"If Isaac, Kildan and Norman rebelled, if they were beaten to the city of Alantis, the Empire of Light passed down by the first emperor would probably be destroyed in the hands of the child."

The Empress Dowager sneered, "The Empire of Light was destroyed in the 'Thirteen Dukes' Rebellion' two hundred years ago. After that, the past two hundred years have only been famous and survived. I ask you, you are the emperor now. If you quell the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms, where do you want to take the empire? Will you still maintain the previous alliances?"

The Empress Dowager said that Grantham was stunned.
