I'm playing mud in Western Fantasy

The noble lords in the south of Longchao rebelled one after another, and the war letters and the list of casualties were sent to the king's desk like snowflakes.

The artillery fire of the war and the dark smog have dyed this winter red. The students and teachers of the Central Academy of Magic entered a state of combat readiness. The gods and priests of the temple took off their holy robes and replaced them with golden armor. Obey the order of the saint and strangle all the ominous darkness.

The joy of the coming New Year was not seen in the central temple, and the attendants under the holy goddess statue had solemn expressions, waiting for the king's order.

Lusi XV stared at the smile of the goddess, and asked softly, "Your Excellency, will the goddess protect us?"

"The goddess will protect her most loyal believers, Your Majesty." Lucifera sat at the side, and a soft light fell from the scepter: "You are the king recognized by the goddess and the master of the dragon tide, so don't be confused by this. "

Lu Siwu was silent for a while, then turned around and asked the officials behind him, "Have the generals dispatched troops?"

"Two generals have sent troops to the south to suppress the rebellion, and two more generals are waiting for you in the capital."

"Waiting for me? With my uncles and aunts?"

The official choked and nodded with difficulty: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Siwu laughed: "I almost forgot that they and those lords are related by marriage. Since they are willing to wait, let them wait."

The king sat down on the stone steps in front of the goddess statue: "When the king's capital is breached, I don't have to worry about them."

Luciferia frowned: "Your Majesty."

"How is the battle ahead?" Lu Siwu lowered his eyes: "I heard that two cities have been taken back."

The attendant bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty. Our army is brave, and it is not comparable to the private soldiers of the rebels. What's more, with the assistance of the goddesses and priests of Your Excellency, it is only a matter of time before the rebellion is quelled."

"A question of time?" Lu Siwu laughed, "It's a satisfying answer."

Luciferia stood up from her seat and walked slowly to the attendant: "Be honest and humble before the goddess. Be loyal and respectful before the king."

She lowered her voice slightly: "Aide, has the black smoke surrounding the front line dissipated?"

"No...no, Your Highness, but the people surrounded by the black smoke have been brought under control. The priestesses and priests you sent are on the front line and will..."

"I don't want to know what I already know." Luciferia said lightly, "Raise your head and look at me."

The attendant looked up and looked at her with some fear: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden."

"Enough." Lu Siwu waved his hand to signal the attendants to retreat.

Lucifera looked at him: "Your Majesty, the officials around you shouldn't be like this."

"I think the saintesses of the temple shouldn't meddle in state affairs like this."

The saint immediately clenched the scepter, but quickly let go: "This is your country, Your Majesty."

"I think I know very well whose country this is." Lu Si sighed and told the attendants: "Report to me in time for any situation, and the military report ahead must be sent as soon as possible."

"Follow your will, Your Majesty." The attendants bowed and saluted, and slowly left the temple.The holy maiden watched them, the scepter in her hand moved slightly, the white light left from the scepter, and quietly submerged into the shadow of the attendant.

Lu Siwu frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Guarantee their loyalty to you." Luciferia turned her head: "The black smoke is the embodiment of corruption, and those infected by them are drawn into the darkness and lose themselves. Your Majesty, for your safety, I must Make sure there are no such people around you."

The king in front of him was still frowning. Lucifera looked up at the face that was exactly the same as her own under the veil, and said calmly: "Be honest and humble before the goddess, Your Majesty, I will not deceive you."

"A military report sent ahead, after the first snow flowers bloomed, a woman appeared on the battlefield. Regardless of camp, she comforted the wounded soldiers and refugees, healed their wounds, and even stood in front of the magicians to pray for them to cease fighting stop."

Luce took out the parchment from his pocket: "It said that no sharp blade could tear her robe, nor could the most precise arrow hit her heart, even the best magic of magicians There's nothing stopping her."

"It's really nonsense." Luciferia frowned: "A good magician can do this."

Lu Si laughed: "Your goddess and priests are also helpless against her, and some people even start to waver, thinking that what she said is right."

The parchment was stuffed into the palm of the saint: "I think there are many powerful magicians in this world, but I don't want to see them on the battlefield. Especially, opposite the royal family of Luz."

Lusi XV stared at the face covered by the veil, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Your Excellency, you haven't explained to me why the goddess suddenly performed miracles on the day of the first snow. Do you know, the king of the capital?" The nobles said that it was my funeral flower."

"You don't need to take the absurd words to heart, Your Majesty." Lucifera lowered her eyes and explained in a low voice: "The blooming of winter flowers represents..."

"Shh-"

The king raised a finger, not wanting to listen to the explanation from the saint.

"The arrival of the bone dragon at the Autumn Harvest Ceremony destroyed everything. Even this year's rare bumper harvest turned into flames of war in the Winter Lord's rebellion. At such a time, the goddess did not send down guidance, but bloomed flowers all over the country. Is she celebrating? ? To celebrate the start of this war?"

The smile on Lu Si's face gradually faded away, leaving only a cold question: "Am I really the king recognized by the goddess? Your Majesty, or, am I the king recognized by the true God?"

Lucifera was startled, and suddenly looked at him: "Your Majesty, pay attention to your words."

"Those who have been rescued by her call her Xiya sent by Chuxue. The falling snow and blooming flowers all over the country are the grace of the true God, just to inform the world that the incarnation of God has come to the world to save them."

"If she is the Goddess who descended from the true God to save the world, then you standing in front of me, Her Majesty the Holy Maiden. Who would you be?"

The king reached out and patted the clenched hand of the saint, and whispered softly: "Goddess, may she bless Longchao."

The saint stood there, watching the king go away, white light suddenly appeared from her clenched fist, and the parchment rolled tightly in her palm was burned to ashes.

She let go of her hand and raised her head to stare at the statue in front of her, a white magic circle lit up under her feet.

The door of the temple was closed behind her, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire hall, but it faded away quickly, and the saint standing in the center of the magic circle disappeared. flowers blowing slowly.

Ruibi City, which always receives tourists late at night, has finally locked its gates this winter.The wandering warblers in the city put on the most decent long skirts, and the drunkards threw away their wine glasses and carried their bags and weapons on their backs.

The news of the war in the south has spread to the north by wind. Even though they are thousands of miles away, they seem to be able to smell the blood and death brought about by the war.

The residents kept serious and lost the frivolity and noise of the past.They stepped into the shimmering magic circle, came to the chaotic land that they had never stepped into, stood in front of the red gem-like lord, saluted, and sent blessings that lasted for many days.

All the gold bricks from Ruby's castle were sent to King Saul's castle, and all the spare rooms were filled up, and there were still some leftovers.

"This is a united front letter sent by the lords in the south." Earl Ruby stood in the well-heated study room, took out the letter from the gemstone ring and put it on the table: "It's the news just sent, Your Majesty."

Yilin stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back: "The Venus star told me that he had a dream. In the dream, blood pooled like a sea, and the corpses were more dense than the stars in the middle of the night."

"Did Your Magi see you in it?" Roland asked.

Yilin laughed: "He said he dreamed of my coronation ceremony, saying that I was destined to be the king of this country, and no one could erase my glory even in the past 500 years."

"Your Excellency the Magician is the morning star descended from the goddess, and his words are like a prophecy."

Yilin walked to the desk and opened the letter paper, shaking his head slightly: "It's just a dream, not to mention the prophecy in the dream is always unpredictable."

He glanced at the letter paper in his hand: "I heard from the elves that all the birds that originally flew south in winter flew back to the north. These little guys who came back from the south brought bad news."

Roland looked at him: "Is there any news worse than war? Your Majesty."

"Of course, such as the failed war." Yilin closed the letter paper: "The flying messenger brought the news that the south has been shrouded in darkness, the lost people died in the war, and the blood that flowed out gathered into a river."

Roland: "Is it the same as in the dream of Your Majesty the Magician?"

"Perhaps, at least that's what the elves told me." Ilyin stroked the sword on the table, lowered his eyes, and said, "The nobles in the south want to unite, and the two sides attack. The royal family of Luth is currently only sending troops to suppress the nobles and lords in the south. It may be because they are afraid of the cold winter in the north, or it may be other reasons, but they have not yet sent troops to the north."

"Although no troops were dispatched, the letter asking for taxes was still delivered to me." Roland smiled: "But the letter paper is not the king's letter stamp, but belongs to the nobles of Luth in the king's capital. The news from the Windsor Assassin said Lusi XV is still in the central temple and has no intention of returning."

Yilin: "So you decided to leave for the Central Temple tomorrow?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. If all goes well, we will come back before the snow melts, and we will bring back the heart of Your Excellency Dragon Knight as you ordered." Earl Ruibi bowed deeply: "Please allow me to greet you Prove my sincerity, Your Majesty."

"No, I will go to the south in a few days and bring back Fei Miao's heart. This is a sin caused by me, and you don't need to ask for redemption for me."

"Then, Your Excellency the Magician..."

"The black smoke in the south is all over the sky, and no one can see the stars." Ilyin looked at the white-haired knight commander and said softly, "So he will stay here and illuminate the direction of my return."
