Chapter 62: Being Targeted Again

On the south bank of Xunnan River, huge military camps stretch for dozens of miles.

The bonfires lit at night were connected, as if they were connected to form a winding fire dragon that entangled the middle section of Xunnan River. This is the life-and-death defense line between the Empire of Light and the Church. If the defense line of Xunnan River is lost, there will be no danger from the river bank to Kurga City.

A group of soldiers patrolled along the riverside all night, and the open whistles in the military camp were guarding each other and secretly whistled. There was a crossbow outside the military camp, and the huge arrows were always aimed at the direction of the river. Any movement on the river surface could attract tens of thousands of cannons to fire.

Under such strong vigilance and defense, two black shadows quietly sneaked into the central army camp of the Mingfeng Legion. Outside the camp, dozens of guards still maintained a tall standing posture, but their eyes were empty and dull as if they had lost their souls.

In the coach's tent, under the dim oil lamp, Marquis Jennings, the head coach of the Mingfeng Legion, twisted his slightly sparse beard on his chin, stared at the defense map on the table and lowered his head to meditate.

The oil lamp on the table suddenly jumped for no reason and the long sword under Marquis Jennings's waist suddenly came to his hand, "Who?"

"If the generals of the empire were as vigilant as the marquis, the Xun Nanjiang defense line might be able to defend it." As a cheerful voice sounded, two figures quickly flashed into Jennings's handsome tent.

"Duke Arthur?" Jennings immediately recognized the young man wearing a hooded cloak on his left hand.

"When I parted in the outskirts of the imperial capital, the marquis has gradually risen to the top in recent years!"

It was a helpless move on the battlefield to take the Isaac remnants to join the Isaac army. From being distrustworthy to being gradually trusted, to taking advantage of the reorganization of the Isaac army, Marquis Jennings' career in the Isaac was indeed faster than being promoted to staying in Isaac.

Regarding Arthur's joke, Marquis Jennings responded angrily, "It's not because of Duke Arthur's good plan back then that my brothers and I have been unable to return home for so many years."

Arthur smiled, "I'm here to pick you and your brothers up home this time."

Jennings shook his head, "Brother Arthur is here to be a lobbyist for His Majesty Strech, right? Although my brothers and I have always been in Isaac, we cannot leave at this time. If we suddenly retreat, we will give the sea tribe an opportunity to push hundreds of thousands of comrades on the defense line and millions of people behind us into a land of no return."

Arthur nodded with Jennings' integrity, "Of course I am not a lobbyist for Strezzi, because His Majesty the King had abdicated yesterday, and now Prince Rex is acting as a state agency."

The explosive news brought by Arthur made Jennings stunned. After a while, he recovered. He asked with expectation in his eyes: "Prince Rex is in power, will the Isaac army fight the sea tribe again?"

Arthur smiled and said, "This is exactly the purpose of my visit to the Marquis tonight. Even if Isaac wants to fight side by side with the empire, as long as the emperor and the empress are in power for one day, it is difficult for both parties to be together."

Marquis Jennings' brows immediately frowned, "This matter is unsolvable."

"No, of course there is a solution. As long as an emperor who is convinced by all parties succeeds to the throne, not only can the human race and the various countries unite together, but the elves, giants, dwarves and other tribes will also do their best to help our human race fight!"

Marquis Jennings still shook his head, "Grantham's eldest son Walter is only twelve years old, and even if he ascended the throne of the Lord, it would be difficult to convince all parties."

Arthur couldn't help but smile and said, "If I push a half-year-old child to the throne of the Emperor, why should I visit the Marquis overnight? The next Emperor is in front of you."

The other person who came with Arthur had opened his hood at this time, revealing a handsome face with a smile.

"Are you Your Highness Eleventh?" Jennings had met Joan several times on the battlefield.

"As the direct bloodline of the Emperor, there is a more suitable candidate for the Emperor than Qiong? What's more, this guy now marrys the Elf Queen. The Human Emperor and the Elf Queen are married. The two tribes join forces to fight the demons without any obstacles."

Jennings still had a hint of worry on his face, "His Royal Highness Joan is naturally the most suitable candidate, but the empress controls the power of the court and the attitude of the Holy See?"

"The Holy See does not need to worry about the Marquis. Let's talk about the situation of these legions on the defense line first?"

"In addition to the 100,000 Holy See armed forces led by the Church of Light, there are four reorganized Imperial Legions and two Kildan Legions. In addition to my Mingfeng Legion, the other three empires are the Northern Legion, the Southern Legion and the City Guard Legion with the broken City Guard and mercenaries as the main body. Among them, the Northern Legion Commander Moldon is the Emperor and Empress, and the Southern Legion Commander Creggie and the Deputy Governor of the City Guards mentioned that Okam was originally from Prince Galach."

Arthur smiled again, "Since that's the case, please ask the Marquis to make an appointment with the three legion commanders in the tent. His Highness and I may be able to convince them."

......

The Kingdom of Holo, the Valley of Death.

Alia, who had just been taken off her head hood, looked around with fear. This was the first time she had seen the outside world in more than two years of imprisonment, and the first time she saw a living person outside the mysterious man in golden clothes.

Two kind-hearted old men were standing in front of Alia at this time, one of whom was slightly fat and gray-haired old men were staring at her with a smile. The other one had no expression on his face, but the rosy complexion on his face could not hide the aging in his eyes. It was King Yunxiao.

"Who are you? Where is this?"

The shopkeeper said in a kind voice: "It doesn't matter who we are. Next, you have to live in the valley for a while, and then you will be completely free."

"No, I'm leaving now!" Alia said, pursing her lips.

"If Arthur doesn't come to pick you up, you won't be able to leave here."

"Arthur!" The unforgettable name was lifted again and tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"No, I'm leaving now!" Alia suddenly rushed out like crazy, but she didn't run a few steps before her eyes fainted completely.

A guard in blue appeared out of thin air, picked up the unconscious Alia and walked into the valley.

When the guard and Alia disappeared deep in the valley, the shopkeeper couldn't help but speak, "Prince, will Arthur really come with such a clumsy plan of the demon clan?"

King Yunxiao smiled and nodded, "Heroes are short of breath and their children are in love. When you and I are old, they will naturally not give up their great cause for a woman. But that little guy Arthur is still young after all, and young means he still has impulsiveness and bloodiness."

"I just don't understand. No matter how hard Arthur can do it, it's not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Demon God. How could the Demon God set up this game specifically for him?"

"I don't know either. It seems to be related to the clues of the broken seal stone that the Demon God personally arranged before."

The King of Yunxiao naturally didn't know that when the lightless demon god heard the news that Arthur, who was imprisoned in the true demon well, appeared on the continent. Arthur actually had a way to pass through the seal and return to Belland, and the "Seal Breaking Stone" instantly appeared in his mind.
