Chapter 217

Cecil still remembered the shock when he saw the Hanging Gardens at Tambuneta for the first time, the beautiful cobbled paths and the smiling passersby. Those scenes are now history, and he squeezed Langdon's hand. Can't help but tense: "What's going on? Who sent the news?"

As soon as the words fell, Langdon meowed. He took out the parchment and looked at it, and said solemnly: "The coordinates of Algi on the gates of magic and magic in various places have disappeared. Irreversibly damaged, the disappearance of the Might and Magic Gate means that Tambuneta can no longer guarantee the passage of mages, which means that the regime of Tambuneta no longer exists, at least in the eyes of mages.”

Cecil asked in surprise, "Is there such a saying?"

"This is a generally accepted statement." Langdon glared at Cecil, criticizing this guy for not always "listening" carefully. Every time he talked about some rules of style that he must be familiar with, Cecil was always indifferent. He can also move his hands and feet, and he will not stop until he touches it, "What do you remember in your mind?"

"Useful stuff." Cecil quickly corrected his attitude, looked at Guangshu and said, "How about your news?"

"Almost." Guangshu said, "Might and Magic has lost contact."

Tambunita is generally accepted to be extinct within jurisprudence and mages.

The change came so quickly and suddenly that Cecil forgot to move his hand away for a moment—or Langdon squeezed his hand instead, saying, "It's not your fault."

"Ah?" Cecil was stunned for a moment, not understanding the topic, "Why do you say that?"

Langdon observed Cecil's expression and said with a smile, "I thought you would think that this result was caused by not accepting Gallagher II."

"I'm not such a virgin." Cecil sighed, "I'm just... a little bit emotional. This is the end of Tambunita, as if I just went to the magic fair yesterday."

Langdon's voice was somewhat nostalgic: "Yeah, I seem to have seen you only yesterday. Don't think too hard, the matter of Tambunita will take a while."

The facts are exactly as Langdon said, but there are still some discrepancies.

The fall of Might and Magic came from the madness of the three princesses. The seventh princess who had mastered the Tanbunita army could not let go of her heart. The youngest son, in contrast, the Seventh Princess has an adult and strong son with quite good magical aptitude. It is said that the Viscount married to the Seventh Princess has elven blood, but it is unknown which kind of elven blood it is.

Under the anxiety day and night, the three princesses finally made an irreversible stupid thing: she dispatched the sky garden of Algiers. In a blink of an eye, Pippen occupied by the Seventh Princess and the city that David once led were wiped out in a beautiful scene.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, the son of the Seventh Princess was not in the city. He escaped and led an army to break through Algiers. The first thing he did was to destroy the Might and Magic Gate and prevent any assistance. After that, he A retaliatory massacre took place in Algeria.Magical talent played a huge role, and the number of deaths under his men alone reached at least four figures.

This was the beginning of the downfall of Tambunita.

The All Things Expo ended successfully, and guests from other places left the country one after another. It was easy to say, but in fact, there were countless troubles, especially fights, non-compliance with rules, business disputes, etc. Leslie, who had gone through a harsh test before, The paladins already had long legs and hair, and their eyes were black. They stumbled when they walked, and fell asleep on the bed when they returned home.

While Cecil breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but keep paying attention to Tanbunita, and new developments continued to come from the amazing news network of the Gay Knights.

"Amber wants to make trouble." Cecil didn't have any doubts when he said this. It's not normal to say that he doesn't make trouble. "Has Gallagher II never shown up?"

"Now it has appeared." Langdon spread the parchment on the table, "Galragher II informed the countries of his existence through the Magic Road Forging Union, and asked all countries to recognize his right to inherit the throne of Tambunita. Of course, This news was first reported by Gretel, who himself does not have the ability."

"Wait a minute, why is it the Magic Road Forging Union?" Cecil asked strangely, "Why doesn't this matter seem to be compatible with the Road Forging Union?"

"The Magic Association is still stuck in the matter of the God of Magic. The Holy Knight Alliance is over. Amber does not welcome the Gay Knights. Others such as the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Union are even more incompatible. The Magic Food Alliance The level of such is relatively low, it is not suitable, it seems that the Magic Road Forging Union is more suitable, and the message is also delivered quickly."

Of course, Cecil has heard of the name of the Magic Road Forging Union. It is said that the cooperation with the Magic Carriage Firm is very close. When the four-wheeled carriages occupy the mainstream transportation market, it seems to have no effect. It has been in a low-key to nothing situation of human perception.

"Did they let our carriage go?" Cecil asked a little sheepishly.

"It's okay, it's good for our carriage to take the Magic Avenue, at least it's not bumpy at all." Langdon said, "It's still very easy to get along with."

Cecil pursed his lips: "Our future cars will not be able to bump, and there will be rubber."

"I didn't say anything." Langdon smiled and changed the subject, "In short, the matter of Gallagher II has officially entered the eyes of all countries. Unfortunately, few countries support Gallagher II. , except Gretel."

Thinking of Amber's Cecil gave me a headache: "According to the law, what can Gretel do?"

"Do you mean what can be done, or what will be done?" Langdon asked.

"Well, normally speaking, what step can Gerrett do?" Cecil thought for a while and emphasized, "I mean a positive approach in the eyes of everyone."

"Take Gallagher II back to Tambunita, wipe out Yar and all those who opposed his enthronement, restore Might and Magic, and make him king. Basically, Gretel will be praised by all countries." Lan Den shrugged.

"What benefits can Gretel get?"

"reputation."

"emmmmmm..."

Cecil always felt that Amber probably wouldn't do this, but unexpectedly, Amber did, sending a large army and air power - those diamond-shaped flying machines - and Amber sent Gallagher himself King II returned to the ruins of Algis, the capital city was already filled with corpses and blood, he escaped the plague but not the Son of Vengeance, and the countless tragedies and misfortunes that happened were sung by bards all around.

The young man who avenged his mother was helpless in front of Gretel's state machine. His magical aptitude was not enough to support a frontal war. After receiving the news from Gretel from all over the world, the Magic Association directly sent He was excommunicated, suddenly deprived of the power of the law of wills, so weak that he was hanged in a coma.

So far, the matter was still a good talk—so far—and then, the good talk quickly slipped away in an unexpected direction.

Gretel's army didn't leave, not only that, but also started to clean up the city, tidy up the city defense and attracted many Gretels one after another.Gretel has always had a reputation for studying weirdos. A large number of experimental mages have settled in Algiers. People with two heads or live snakes in their hair can be seen everywhere on the streets. One mage tower after another is erected, and the explosion occurs twice a day. Three times, from time to time, there is still unknown smoke filling the air.

"Is this intended to use Arge as a large laboratory?" Cecil asked authentically because he didn't know, "Also, why didn't they repair the Might and Magic Gate?"

"Doesn't the restoration mean that Tambuneta has returned to normal?" Tifa casually said, "That's great, Gallagher II is just a king in name, and the real master of Arge is Amber. The man who maintained the reign of Gallagher II stayed there."

Cecil stared at Langdon's gold-rimmed parchment for a long time, and couldn't help sighing: "What Amber is supposed to do will soon exceed his capabilities."

As Cecil guessed, Amber not only stayed in Arge all the time, but even asked the princesses to hand over other cities. Withdrew from Tambunita, and even asked Amber to go to Rochester to "communicate in person."

Among the most famous kings at present, Alexander is in the limelight. In contrast, Amber came to the throne not long ago, and she is young. Of course, she cannot convince the public by appearing suddenly.

"Anyway, Alexander will not be convinced." Mentioning that Rochetyfa is an expert, it can be said that the current Rochester was jointly created by him and Alexander, and he even knows better than Alexander in some aspects, "Alexander's temper is much better now. , probably won’t do anything for the time being, what do you think Amber will do?”

When asked, Cecil looked confused. He and Amber were fellow villagers and not friends. He knew that Amber was a graduate of a famous university and a relocated household in the suburban fringe of a second-tier city. Although he could not pay for more than a dozen sets, he Having two houses in a first-tier city can be regarded as a small amount of financial freedom. The life experience seems to be quite smooth. At least the two of them did not hear any negative news during the chat. From the perspective of Amber's behavior, she is really a relatively optimistic type who thinks less, and She's really young, she just graduated.

"I think...they will probably unite." Cecil racked his brains to think about the poor history and politics, and it took him a long time to squeeze out something. If war starts, his ministers will always stop him, right?"

"That's true," Tifa said.

The royal knights discussed for a while, and generally agreed that Gerrett and Luoxie would divide Tambunita. In terms of overall strength, Luoxie was indeed stronger than Gretel, but Luoxie was far to the west, and there was only one division in the east. country, simply cannot pose a sufficient threat.

However, reality can always produce more bizarre things than human imagination. Cecil was dumbfounded when he learned that Gretel had suddenly swallowed up the Loser branch.

"Is it fake?" Cecil stared at Langdon with wide eyes, "Annexation?"

"To a certain extent, it is destruction." Langdon's expression was unprecedentedly serious, "They not only destroyed Might and Magic, but also tore down the city walls, burned down houses, and hunted and killed all the Loshers. This is already a standard civilized war. This is done when another civilization is wiped out."

Cecil opened his mouth and couldn't speak. He asked himself, if he came across suddenly, the drunk lying beauty woke up and held the power of the world for a few years, and suddenly launched a war for no reason, murdered and set fire, he really might not If you have the guts, after all, you were born in a peaceful age. Even if you don't have a clear understanding of the cruelty of war, it is not an easy task to involve a whole country in the quagmire of war. What's the fuss about being so big?

"Are you sure this is serious?" Cecil repeatedly confirmed, "Could the news be wrong, or is it actually not too serious?"

Langdon patted the back of Cecil's hand reassuringly: "The news is correct, not only from the Gay Knights, but also from the Magic Association, the Magic Road Forging Union, and the Coastal Alliance. Many organizations have confirmed the loss of the city wall and the Might and Magic Gate. These two alone are enough to qualify as a standard civilized war, and to put it simply, even if Gerrett stood up and said that they didn’t mean it, what they did is ironclad proof.”

Cecil pulled his cheeks with both hands, and made the gesture in the famous painting: "Is Amber crazy?! What is he going to do?! Total war? Wait a minute, will Losier come to fight?"

"Loshere can't fight now." Langdon frowned and said, "If Gretel is allowed to destroy its branch country, it will only prove that it is extremely weak and unable to afford the status of a magical power."

Luoxie's revenge has become an inevitable fact. Even Cecil couldn't think of a reason for Alexander to swallow his anger. Sure enough, at the same time as the news of the destruction of Luoxie's sub-nation came out, Luoxie began to mobilize the whole country. The news also spread, and the "golden tax officials" were in a state of rampage.

"We used to be the only ones to beat others, who would dare to beat us when they get tired of work!" Such words are not bragging, but facts.

At this time, Cecil, who guards the east-west ground passage, is very anxious.

"We have to lend the tunnel to Alexander. We have no reason to close the tunnel." Langdon said earnestly, almost in a warning tone, "Great is at a disadvantage in terms of law and public opinion, and we even..."

"I know, do you think I'm stupid?" Cecil thumped Langdon, "I just... think about it, is it safe to put a bunch of soldiers into your own territory?"

Langdon didn't say anything, and it took a while before he said, "Ebo can be opened, but Moon City can't be opened."

"We are the shortest route to Great through the Eb Tunnel." Cecil said dumbfoundedly, "A straight line!"

This is an irrefutable fact, and the whole room of Wang Qi did not speak.

Cecil pondered for a while, and a terrifying thought arose in his mind: "Damn it, that guy didn't hit Losier for this reason, did he?"

"What?" Langdon didn't respond.

"That is, in order to let Luoxie's army pass by me, they deliberately attacked Luoxie to divide the country." Cecil said with a bitter face, "And fearing that Luoxie would bear this tone, he deliberately fought with the standard of civilized warfare."

A group of king knights looked at each other for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter, which slowly died down under Cecil's distorted expression.

"Isn't it?" Russell laughed from time to time, as if a little unwilling to give up, "Isn't it? What the hell is this?

"Is he mentally retarded?" Oakes said more bluntly, "or should I ask you mentally retarded? I can't think of such a reason!"

"No matter how stupid you are, you won't do such a thing... right?" Jory's tone became more and more uncertain. "Is there any strange custom in your hometown?"

"It doesn't make sense logically." Tifa said calmly, "If he really hates you so much, he can just come and beat us. The price he paid is not that big, so why go around in circles like this?"

Cecil finally calmed down now. After thinking about it carefully, it was true, so he laughed at himself for being confused and stopped thinking about it.He never expected that his conjecture would have been slightly mixed up, but the truth of the incident was the result of some mixed results.

At first, Amber did ask the ministers if they could destroy the Middle Kingdom. Under the power of "blood rule", the ministers could only tell the truth: It is not a problem to destroy the Middle Kingdom, but the price paid may be a bit high. On the one hand, the Middle Kingdom The endless new gadgets are unpredictable. On the other hand, as far as we can see so far, it is possible to destroy the cities of the Middle Kingdom, but the money paid will not be small, because the destruction magic coins of St. Benzi and St. Panier The production has dropped sharply, and Gretel is in the east again. It has always been through trading to obtain magic coins. If it really fights, it is likely that it will not be able to get the support of magic coins, not to mention that the Middle Kingdom is now providing magic coins filling One of the country's businesses, this will lead to the third consequence, exhausting all the manpower of the country to consume magic bits, triggering a chain reaction in the country, which will give other magic powers an opportunity, although this possibility is very small, after all Geography must also be taken into consideration. Gretel is isolated in the Far East, which is a very favorable geographical location.

"That's it."

When Amber thinks of Cecil's smiling face, he finds it disgusting. The guy got a pretty good body, tall, strong, and handsome, and there are a bunch of young talents around him. Compared with the bunch of old men around him, the appearance alone is overwhelmed On the one hand, and this guy is actually a gay, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Rochester did not agree to the proposal to attack the Middle Kingdom, and Amber didn't like the idea of ​​Alexander's "freedom and peace" full of mouth.

Gretel is a big magical country with a long history and powerful magic power. After a period of verification, Amber believed in this fact. He is not stupid. He knows that living in the palace is likely to be deceived by others, so he ran around. After running and meeting many people, it was only after repeated analysis and conclusions that he was convinced of Gretel's status.

Fuck, isn’t this the United States? The geography is so good and the family has a big business. Why should I not build it?

Amber built it in this way. First, Tanbunita tried it out. This incident did not cause any objections. The ministers agreed with it, and they were even happy to see its success. Harvest, the dead mages left a complete set of laboratories, magic coins and magic props, piled up one warehouse after another.

A Graga II exchanged the huge wealth of Algiers. This transaction almost made Grete red-eyed. The ministers who had doubts about the changes of the new king changed their attitudes instantly. The relationship between the big bloodline families is unprecedentedly close, and flattery can't describe the words Amber heard. Every day, every second, and every breath he breathes is between praise and pandering.

This is an indescribable experience. For Amber, life on earth seems to be far away. Now he is a wise, powerful, young and promising king who rules a huge country.

Politics is so easy!Easier than a novel textbook!

Therefore, after the proposal of attacking the Middle Kingdom was frustrated, Amber set his sights on the Luoxie branch, and he directly proposed the idea of ​​"grabbing one". Naturally, his proposal was questioned by the ministers, and he Different, ministers are born to live with praise and smiles, they can get hot-headed at the right time, and they can also open up a place in the hot-headed brain to put a piece of ice, and pour it down mercilessly all the time.

It's a pity that Amber didn't have such a piece of ice in his head, and the proposal quickly turned into an order. In order to deter these disobedient ministers, he even gave an order to kowtow to a middle-aged general who contradicted him in court. The severe and humiliating punishment had fatal consequences: the general had suffered a head injury in his early years. After taking a few heads, he became dizzy and couldn't stand still, trembling and twisting, fell to the ground and never climbed up again Up to now, [-]% of them are problems like cerebral hemorrhage.

The middle-aged general belonged to a bloodline family, so naturally he couldn't resist Amber. He didn't take this matter to heart at all. To him, these families were just a bunch of dogs, and what was the use of them other than barking?

Therefore, these "dogs" fought back against Amber in the Lochere branch country by injuring one thousand enemies and eight hundred themselves: they upgraded a small robbery into a civilized war, and then ran away to become wild people ——In order to demonstrate his authority, Amber specially arranged for the middle-aged general's son to attack Losier.

Amber didn't realize the seriousness of the problem when he got the news, and he didn't panic until the valet cried and asked him what to do. After listening to the valet explain the difference, he sat on the throne for a long time without making a sound. After a while, he said: "Luoxie won't really call, right? It's so far away! It's just for a small town, what about it?"

The Luoxie branch country is indeed small, with only two cities. Although there are no shortage of city walls and magic gates, it is small after all. Amber has been there quietly, and feels that it is not as good as the fourth-tier small cities in China.

"That's Luoxie! Although it's a separate country, it's still Luoxie!" The servant almost screamed, "Your Majesty, that's Luoxie!"

Amber hasn't encountered any difficulties after getting rid of the old immortal. Hearing the words, he said blankly: "It's not... that is, I, should I apologize to Alexander now? Or pay something? Is it okay to pay?" He wrinkled He frowned, "Besides, we are not far behind Roseby, right? He has come so far to fight, so he doesn't have an advantage in himself, so don't be afraid!"

The valet stared blankly at the young king, his eyes were full of despair, and he only had one thought in his mind: let's escape early... It seems that the Middle Kingdom is not bad?

Meanwhile, Cecil encounters a strange "thing" in a dream.
