Chapter 1170 (1/2)
In the early morning of the next day, when Loren appeared outside Brandon's account, the night watchman Edward, Dalton kand and Yuli vilz had been waiting for a long time. They were not surprised to see the black haired wizard coming.
”He knows?”
Edward, with a stiff expression, nodded slightly and answered Lauren without forgetting to glance at Dalton on the side of his eye.
”Peter FASA and Vera went in an hour ago and are telling your Majesty the whole story... Or history in detail. It should be over soon.” looking at Dalton's unresponsive face, Edward snorted coldly:
”As for what your majesty can know and whether he will be willing to believe... It's hard to say.”
Lauren nodded. With Brandon's character, he was not surprised: ”what about the mentor, Ayn and Isaac?”
The little wizard didn't show up. He wasn't surprised. Isaac was a little abnormal.
”Grantham is more stable than you think. He has gone back to rest,” Dalton said in a deep voice. ”I have sent Erin and Lucien, and Carl Colin to appease the Wizards in the camp.”
”The void reaction this time is so strong that ordinary people can be aware of it - we must first ensure that the Wizards in the military camp do not talk nonsense and undermine morale; at present, ayin is in charge of medical and logistics affairs in the camp, and all wizards have to accept her dispatch. With her help, it is not difficult to appease the Wizards.”
”How long can you hide it?”
”The more you hide it, the more terrible it is.” Dalton shook his head. ”It's enough for everyone to remain silent until your majesty officially announces his decision.”
”Yes, that's the most important thing right now.” Yuli weiltz agreed very much, and his dignified eyes never left Brandon's camp for a moment:
”The souls of Azores do evil, the evil gods sealed under the city of eboden... All kinds of rumors. If you don't clarify it as soon as possible, it will become impossible to clean up.”
”I have ordered all the Archduke and the commander of the Legion to hold a meeting at noon, which can stabilize the morale of the army for a while.” Archduke ellemans frowned slightly and couldn't help looking at Loren behind him:
”Is the situation... Really serious?”
In the face of confused Yuli weiltz, the black haired wizard can understand his mood at the moment, but he really doesn't know how to explain to him.
Just like the ”piercer Loren” who had not met Asriel at the beginning, and the ”attendant Loren” appeared in front of him, Loren didn't know how to explain to him the relationship between evil gods, void, Holy Cross... And all this, which was completely beyond the scope of his knowledge.
Black cross... That's another level that many wizards can't understand.
Yuli weiltz glanced. He saw that the problem was not easy to explain: ”the black cross... Is very powerful?”
”It has nothing to do with being strong or not. If possible, he may not kill anyone.” Loren shook his head. ”But if he succeeds, he can kill any of us at will.”
”Obliterate?”
”Yes, not to kill you, but to make you nonexistent - the traces of your existence, your memory in others' hearts, your soul, body, what you have touched and what has happened to you, he can erase it with one thought.” Loren whispered:
”Not only you, but also the appearance of the world. If he doesn't like it, he can change it; history, civilization and the world... For him, it will be stories or oil paintings. If he likes it, he will stay. If he doesn't like it, he will throw it away and do it again. It's just a thought.”
The voice fell... Not only Yuli weiltz, but also Edward.
”Loren, it's not like you're describing an enemy, but more like...” after a slight pause, Archduke ellemans turned white and hesitated for a long time:
”... God.”
”Who said no?”
Lauren nodded, but his eyes had turned to the camp; The voice behind the curtain faded, proving that the people inside had ended the conversation.
A minute later, Peter FASA and Vera came out of the camp with very complicated expressions; Always vigilant, Edward, standing next to them, was relieved after repeatedly confirming that they had no injuries.
”Brandon... Your majesty is waiting for you inside, Duke Loren.” raising his eyes, Peter looked at the dark haired Wizard: ”Your Majesty is not very stable now. Please be careful.”
”I see. Thank you.”
When the words fell, the people were ready to come forward, but Peter stopped them.
”Your Majesty Brandon... He only wants to see Duke Loren now.”
The group exchanged their eyes and nodded to show their understanding - Brandon probably didn't want to see anyone if he could meet such a thing before the celebration party was over.
A person should be his limit.
Loren said no more, nodded to the crowd and went straight over Peter's small back to the tent.
……………………
It seems that the last time I saw such a decadent Brandon was when Eckhardt II died... It was almost a year ago.
At that time, he was in pain, fear, and a trace of joy mixed with uneasiness - no matter how much he hated Eckhart II, it was also his father, who gave him all privileges, status and life.
When Eckhardt II was alive, he struggled to survive under the growing momentum of his brother and the authority of his father; At that time, even Brandon himself knew that there was little hope of competing for the throne with Conrad, but he still had to fight for it in order to keep his life, freedom and some small ambitions.
But when Eckhart really died and lost his father, Brandon didn't know how to live. He was very upset for some time.
After Conrad succeeded to the throne, Brandon, who was ”resurrected with blood” closer to the throne, found the motivation to continue to live and began to attack the throne of the supreme emperor.
In the name of eboden war, the civil strife in Saxony won, and the fortress of duanjieshan seized the military power in one fell swoop. Then, relying on the strategic planning left by Eckhart and Conrad, he completed the Azores elf war step by step, crowned the emperor on the battlefield, and ”self styled” Dragon rider Brandon II.
According to Brandon's idea, his next step is to take the momentum of great victory, intimidate the heavenly palace and the imperial parliament, become a true Imperial Emperor, rely on Byrne's mutual compromise to complete the reform he plans, and leave a strong mark in the 14th generation... This is his future.
Now, the future is torn to pieces by the news of ”serlior”.
But this time Brandon was no longer afraid, no pain, no anxiety... But confused and at a loss.
No one has ever told him, and when someone told him, he still ”didn't forget” to remind him by the way that this powerful enemy is not something we can defeat.
He was confused and even more at a loss - he knew that he, or the Empire, was about to face a great disaster, but it seemed that he could do nothing.
