The Black Scepter

> Lilith was injured in the battle.

Of course, for the other soldiers in the entire battlefield, the muscle strain on the right arm was not a "injury" at all. The rifle was broken, the sword was cut to the curling edge, and Lilith heroically killed more than 15 enemies in the whole battle. , But because of the reaction force of excessive impact of the rifle, it causes muscle damage.

This is not a big deal for her. This wound can be recovered after three or four days of bandages. Just after following the troops and returning to the rear camp, Lilith, who has just dismounted, has not had time to remove the light armor. One is from Byzantium. The senior officer in the military headquarters of the central headquarters of the position approached her personally, and after showing a scary certificate of signature and emblem to the captain of the battalion of the camp, he took Lilith to the front line headquarters.

An hour later, Lilith walked into the huge camp and was wearing a blood-stained shirt. The guards around him were at least low-level knights. This level of alert is enough to show the horrible identity of the characters.

After taking off the helmet, Lilith stretched out her hand and straightened her hair. Her original face was slightly red because of the uninterrupted training and actual combat. When walking into the center of the huge camp, there were already two familiar figures waiting.

"The sword can only be sharp if it is stained with blood. Now you should understand the meaning of this sentence."

Prince Hades got up and looked at his own daughter.

The father and daughter who had been stalemate for more than ten years met again, but Lilith had no previous willfulness and stubbornness. She lowered her head slightly, and the leather glove held in her hand was gently squeezed.

"father."

"Duke Windsor."

Lilith did not perform aristocratic etiquette, but salute used by soldiers. After all, the two in the house were the core of the entire Byzantine army.

The old duke looked a little older than the last meeting, which made Lilith, who knew Morpheus's whereabouts, feel inexplicably nervous.

Prince Hades never talked nonsense, and asked directly: "Murfis and Ashcandi appeared on the battlefield, do you know it in advance?"

Lilith looked up, hesitated for a while, and replied: "I want to know your attitude towards him."

"Is this how to protect yourself?" Prince Hades suddenly smiled. The unsmiling cold face suddenly appeared with this contrasting expression, which made Lilith surprised.

The expression of Duke Windsor on the side was equally playful, which made Lilith, who was not even twenty years old, a little unsure, but rarely did not have any rebuttal, so he bowed his head so that his father's response.

"Murpheus's father is here. Do you think it is more appropriate for me to order?"

Prince Hades replied with a smile: "No matter what Murphy did before, no matter what role or identity of the person with him, the Byzantine Military Department will open his eyes to see the fact that it is He and the woman helped the entire army and saved nearly 1,000 lives."

"and so--?"

Lilith felt her heart beating faster.

"There is nothing so. This is a fait accompli. The only answer I can give is that his performance has been handed over to Edward by letter. As for how to deal with it, it is not up to me."

The prince's tone was very formal, but then he lowered his voice and continued: "But I personally support his behavior, regardless of whether he is a ghost from the beginning to the end, at least the losses caused by Fording and Gabriel and I and Ah Karl is happy to hear."

The Duke next to him curled his lips, and the witty expression made Lilith's tense string slightly loose-it seemed that the two big brothers did not resent Murphy's behavior from beginning to end.

"Is Murphy okay now?"

Duke Akar remained silent for a while, and finally asked Lilith, not even asking if she had met Murphy.

"not easy."

Many words in Lilith's mind ended up in these three words.

The loss and helplessness of the old duke's face were obvious, and he finally sighed and said, "It's good to be alive, a father, the biggest consumer is to be able to watch his son grow up with his own eyes, and now he can stand alone, I should be pleased It is."

"Can he return to Byzantium in a fair and decent future?"

Lilith suddenly asked an unrelated question.

The Prince Hades next to him reached out and handed her a letter already written, and replied softly, "It depends on him."

For the current night watchman, this battle seems not to bring any substantial benefits.

The army of the sacred Gabriel Empire returned to Fei Leng Cui, and the Byzantine Lancers chased into this town without going forward - after all, everyone knows that just a battle with a total number of no more than 10,000 people is far from Representing the final victory, the total strength of the two sides will continue to invest at least more than 40,000 people in the continuous sawing. This is the lowest number, so the Byzantine cavalry that was just accepted draws an arc, leaving the body of countless soldiers. And go.

At this moment, the night watchman still builds a simple camp in a corner of the wild that no one knows. The brotherhood has few members left, and they are assigned to different locations. The vampire supervision of the Hollier family is responsible for scouting. The center of the camp is only Connor. , Compton, Jeanna, Ashcandi, Christina, the three low-level members of the voodoo sect were not allowed to enter the core area by Murphys. At this moment, the young leader was under the dark Sitting quietly in front of the campfire, several men and Ashcandi also formed a circle, which seemed to be the first meeting of the “high-level” night watchman.

Said it was a meeting, but the atmosphere was very cold. Compton let Na and the two belong to the dull gourd that would not speak more than half a sentence in three days. Christina was embarrassed and unusual. Ashcandy just listened, but did not like to say, only Kang Na is trying his best to maintain the atmosphere of the meeting so as not to fall into the freezing point.

"You should be informed within two weeks. After confirming the Byzantine dominance, all we have to do is to hide everything and wait. During this time, I will have no accidents. The wanted measures of the sacred Gabriel Empire will sooner or later leave the jade lonely. I searched, so I think it should be transferred to other countries under the current circumstances," Murphy looked at the only teams he could trust or rely on, and the map in his hand was gently expanded. "Who can provide some advice?" "

Silence made Na and Compton look blank, Christina didn’t dare to squeak, Ashcandy raised her eyebrows, and finally yawned, "Go to a place far away from the Holy See. Kill me for so long, I'm bored See the Holy Trinity logo in the Vatican."

Connor, who saw no useful information, quickly suggested: "The nearest countries seem to have no choices. Isenger and Ballice are currently in a tight relationship, but if we go, they will not involve the Vatican. , The wealth there should be sufficient for the development of night watchmen."

Isinger, located in the south of the Holy Gabriel Empire, although it is also under the jurisdiction of the Vatican Pope, it is actually composed of two parts, namely the Principality of Miga and the Principality of Wales, which are managed by two large publics and belong to the Vatican. The Holy See believes in jurisdiction, and although the entire Isingle has only one third of Gabriel’s territory, it has amazing wealth no less than the entire Holy Empire, because this is the distribution center of the most famous rich merchants on the mainland, and it is also a "bank The birthplace of "is the highest representative of the luxury word "art".

Balice is located on the western end of the mainland and is the second most civilized country on the mainland after Constantine. The national power has risen rapidly in recent years. There is a tendency to resist the courtesy with the Byzantine chamber, but it is far away from the mainland because it borders the Verdine Empire. To the east, so little news of this country spread to the ears of Byzantine civilian nobles.

"Can't the Gilman Empire?"

"The Gilman Empire is extremely xenophobic. Ingrid has had a war with Gilman and Fording in the last ten years. The stability there is not ideal."

Connor understands the current situation on the mainland very well and analyzes it slowly. After "Ingway's "Bloody Mary" stepped down, the new queen showed incredible strength and aggression, not like "Bloody Mary". "Generally aiming the sword at one's own people, it is really slowly raising the national strength and extending the aggression of foreign invasion."

"What do you think we people do together?"

Murphy asked after a moment of contemplation.

"To be honest, if these are the people on the scene, our most suitable job should be a small high-end mercenary corps." Connor looked at Ashkandy slightly and continued helplessly: "And it is the most high-end kind. "

"Where is the mercenary industry most developed?"

"Balice, claiming that each mercenary team has a magician's "heretic country."

Connor answered without hesitation.

"Country of heretics? Not bad."

Murphy drew a mark on the map, then raised his head and asked Christina, who had not spoken, "How long is your territory going to Balice?"

At first sight, Christina would find her useful place ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and she immediately became highly concentrated and replied: "Messenger can arrive within two days. If it is a carriage, it will take four to five days."

Murphy nodded contentedly, and immediately announced a "brotherhood", but Ashcandi asked softly after the others walked away: "Is there any book to read?"

"Fortunately, I haven't forgotten."

He took out the "Roland's Song" that Connor dug out of Fort Corsini. This biographical novel that is not thick is a popular book published by the Fording Empire two hundred years ago. It has not yet been reprinted. The many praises of the virtue of the knights are mainly literary works described mainly from the perspective of Charles I, the monarch at the time.

"Thank you." Ashcandi took the smile and quietly made Murphy feel a little uncomfortable. The pressure caused by the war was completely non-existent for the woman in front of her. What she wanted to do seemed to be hundreds. The things that I have never done but need to do in the past years have nothing to do and no pretense.

Ashcandy left and returned to his tent. Murphy sighed, still sitting in front of the campfire, staring at the jumping flames in a daze, and Hydera’s huge body moved silently, which was more than Murphy’s body. The big head stopped beside him, crawling obediently.
