Chapter 864 (2/2)
Loren looked at him silently and didn't interrupt.
”Not only that, the Azores are still a country with a tradition of 'force worship'. According to the elf Lord, the more powerful the warrior is, the more respected the status is - the top master can even be tied with the eagle king.” ashamei sighed:
”And the elf warrior who can cut off the iron armor, according to his self modesty, it is because of his poor swordsmanship that he can only end up as an official guarding the frontier islands.”
”To tell you the truth, now I hope from my heart. It's really that he is too modest.”
Lucian's pupils contracted suddenly.
It's many times more powerful than cutting off the iron armor. It's an elf warrior who is qualified to stand side by side with the king and wield Azores long sword
I really want to compete.
The dark haired wizard was lost in thought.
”Master ashamei, why...” the little wizard said suspiciously, ”why haven't you mentioned these before? Why does the Empire still know nothing about the Azores?”
”Why?” Halin van achmai, who had a dim expression, did not answer, smiled bitterly and turned his helpless eyes to Loren.
”Because it's not necessary.” Loren gave the answer silently.
Yes, there is no need.
Separated by the misty sea, even the imperial ocean fleet can only go back and forth once a year, and there are only two or three thousand sailors and escorts.
In other words, even if the Azores launch an all-out war and an all-out invasion, they can invest only four or five thousand troops at most, and the only direction they can attack is the port of eboden, and only once a year.
Even if they can fight ten of them one by one, they can defend against the invasion of elves with eboden's local strength. There is no need to worry at all.
What's more, what can they get from invading the Empire?
Wealth? Compared with such a costly expedition, how much wealth is not cost-effective;
Land? Not to mention whether they can control the occupied land across a misty sea, even if they want to open up colonies, the next thing they have to face is the siege of the Empire on all sides, the lack of troops and the insurgency inside, it is impossible to defend it.
Slaves? Although this is inappropriate, if they really want it, eboden's chamber of Commerce and ocean fleet can definitely find ways to meet them in exchange for huge profits from ocean trade.
What kind of war maniacs can think of such a costly and laboring expedition that is destined to lose money and get nothing?
”Then... The irreparable mistake said by master asamai...”
”I haven't really touched the warrior system of Azores, but...” ashamei smiled bitterly: ”they should have known our wizard system very well.”
”I guess I may have inadvertently exposed the actual war potential and level of the Empire.”
The black haired wizard sighed - when master asamai told himself about it, he thought it was just some private question
”In addition... If the spirit who came to the ancient wood forest is my benefactor, I think it would be bad for the Duke to let him see me - you know, a person's happiness is often based on the pain of others; unfortunately, the happiness of me, his two daughters and a niece is weighed on the father and uncle...”
”Of course, from the perspective of alchemy, it's very cost-effective, because we create three times happiness, but only one pain... But I guess he may not think so...”
”.......” everyone.
The room closed by ”silence like water” is so quiet that you can even hear everyone's heartbeat.
”Six months ago, eboden sent a team to investigate the wrecked ocean fleet, which is said to have an eye.”
Just when everyone was quiet, Peter FASA's voice suddenly sounded:
”Although there is no conclusive evidence, they did find the sea area where the fleet was killed - it is said that there was no bad weather, no signs of hurricanes or waves on the day of the death.”
”At least, the nine pointed star wizard tower, the Wizards proficient in divination and astrology, predicted so.”
”Do you mean to say...” ruthen asked with a cold hum.
”At the site of the incident, they also found some fragments of the ship.” Peter FASA ignored him and continued, ”especially on the fragment of one of the masts, they found traces cut by a sharp blade.”
”That's the ocean fleet, the main mast of the flagship;”
”By an unknown blade...”
”Cut off with one knife.”
The voice fell and the room was quiet again.
Lauren frowned and looked straight at Peter FASA's right hand; The trance line of sight seemed to pass through time and go back to a scene three years ago——
In the dark of the night, on the stormy sea, an elf warrior with a knife jumped onto the flagship deck; In the exclamation and flustered footsteps of the sailors and mercenaries, he gently fastened the handle of the knife in the Sheng phase surrounded by him.
The bright light of the knife came out of its sheath at the moment of thunder.
Plasma, gushing like ink; Screams, one after another.
A moment later, there was no one standing on the deck except him.
The elf warrior alone waved his sword to his side and returned to the scabbard; The blood drops falling with the blade drew a crescent shaped half arc around him.
When he turned around, there was a neat cut on the main mast behind him, which overturned in a burst of mourning.
”Bang --!!”
The door was opened.
The nervous crowd turned their eyes to the direction of the door almost at the same time, and Peter and ashamei didn't forget to put on their hoods and disguise again.
”Sorry, didn't I bother you?”
A cold voice rang out from the door. The expressionless fairy held her shoulder and stared at the dark haired wizard with her back to her:
”The morning star forest elder's order, your request, they agreed!”
