Full Time Mage Lord

Chapter 438 Gaiden: The False Future XIII

The negotiations between Anaheim and Cyprus have entered the most critical stage. However, no matter what Shalis requested, the Third God Emperor Rodel refused to let her participate. In addition, the Anaheim Alliance had just won a big victory, and the war It's not a big deal, and the Third God Emperor Rodel has an order not to let Sharis take care of the military affairs.

So now she has become the most leisurely person. Ah, tell me, he went to practice martial arts at Tiago's suggestion. Originally, intelligence agents like them did not have very high requirements for martial arts, but now that Salis wants him to come Well, then he can't let Shalis protect him.

On this day, Salis was sitting boredly by the tent again in a daze. Looking at the busy soldiers coming and going, Salis couldn't bear it anymore and went to the main tent. She must ask her father to give her something to do, otherwise she would go crazy.

In the main tent, the Third God Emperor Rodel was worried, not about national affairs, not about the war, but about his precious daughter. Why bother? It's very simple, whether she should be allowed to take charge of the army or not.

What's there to worry about? Wasn't the previous order not to allow her to control it? However, when the Third God Emperor Rodel saw the performance on the battlefield the day Shalis appeared, he was hesitant again.

She is simply a natural warrior. From her reaction speed in emergencies, to her handling of unknowing friendly forces, and her ability to block friendly forces while causing great damage to the enemy, she does a series of actions in one go, without any flaw. People who saw her behavior on the battlefield were unconsciously attracted to her, and when they knew her identity, they were willing to be dispatched by her. She has the cohesion necessary for a commander, and coupled with her previous experience, she has the The quality of the general.

The biggest difference between Anaheim and Cyprus is the status of women. Unlike Cyprus, where men are superior to women, Anaheim advocates equality between men and women. Female soldiers have always been the most beautiful scenery in the military. Famous generals in history are also divided equally between men and women. There is no problem with letting Shalis become a general, but selfishly, I really don't want her to encounter any danger.

"Brother Wang, are you worried about Shalis again?" Because the Third God Emperor Rodel arrived secretly, in order to prevent others from discovering him, he was living with Jialong in principle. Jialong naturally did not need to inform him when he entered his tent. .

"Is it so obvious?"

"At this stage, there are only two people who can make Brother Wang worry, my sister-in-law Wang and your precious daughter. Now only Shalisi is here, who else but her." Jialong said matter-of-factly.

"Haha, you really understand." The Third God Emperor Rodel pointed to the documents on the table and said, "Yesterday I asked Raphael to evaluate the strength of the generals here, and he actually gave me such a result. .”

Jialong opened the document, and the name of Shalis Rodel, Anaheim, was actually written on the first page as the number one general. Before Jialong could comment, an announcement came from outside, "The head of the intelligence system, Holmes, wants to see you."

The Third God Emperor Rodel gestured to Jialong, who put down the documents and said, "Please."

"Your Majesty -" before Holmes could finish speaking, the Third God Emperor Rodel stopped him, "There are just a few of us, no need to be polite. What do you think of this?"

Holmes went to the document respectfully, glanced at it, and said, "This Raphael is really nonsense. As far as I know, the reason why Her Royal Highness the Princess achieved such good results in the past was all because of her adjutant Bron. He is a rare talent who was personally designated as the heir by the Dark Soul Lord Frant. Before Her Royal Highness the Princess joined the Holy See Knights, Bronn made the Holy See Knights a rare team. The princess was in the Holy See Knights. The regiment is only a nominal captain, and Bronn has the final say on all major matters in the army."

"Oh, where is such a rare talent?"

"exist--"

“In Anaheim!”

Before Holmes could speak, the Third God Emperor Rodel said for him, "What does your intelligence system do? You can't tell the difference between thirty thousand and three hundred thousand, which has caused heavy losses to the Holy See Knights. They have lost so many talents. If you want to It’s not that Jialong’s strategy was hidden from Shalisi, how do you want me to explain it to Shalisi now?”

Holmes lowered his head in shame and said nothing.

"Actually, Brother Wang, it would be good to have Shalis as your general." Ignoring Holmes, Jialong continued talking on his own, "Whether Shalis's record is her own credit or not, she does help to unite people. If Shalisi comes to the front line, it will definitely boost morale, and the battle of Anaheim made Shalisi hate the Evil Alliance. Using such a general to fight can get twice the result with half the effort."

"No, let an inexperienced person lead the team. No matter how outstanding she is in other fields, she will never succeed. We cannot risk the lives of soldiers." Holmes immediately objected.

"She was not asked to lead the troops in the war. I just used her cohesion. The war can be left to others. She only needs to stay in the rear and there will be no danger."

"What if Your Highness wants to experience the battlefield herself? Although Your Highness's martial arts skills are very high, who can say with certainty that she will be fine? With Your Highness's level of willfulness, do you think anyone can persuade her?" Holmes immediately retorted. .

"This -" Jialong began to think hard about the person who could control Salis. Unfortunately, there seemed to be no such person in his memory. However, under her influence, she changed a lot of the Third God Emperor Rodel's personality. Decision, such as insisting on leaving the special train of the intelligence system.

"Okay, you don't have to sing anymore. I won't let Salis enter the army again. If something happens to her, I really can't explain it to Lilith. I will let her go back."

The Third God Emperor Rodel smiled. Jialong understood his own thoughts and deliberately induced Holmes to say so many words to dispel his worries and make him no longer conflicted. No matter how many people like him can share his worries, there are not too many. ah.

Outside the main tent, Salis looked at the scenery with a relaxed expression, and her ears did not miss every word in the main tent. Is it really as simple as Holmes not letting her join the army just to comply with her father's wishes? Can Rafael be trusted, and is what he says at the intelligence system headquarters true? How should she find answers to all this?

At night with her heart full of worries, Shalis made some preparations to finish the meal with the Third God Emperor Rodel. The Third God Emperor Rodel was a lively person who always had meals with the people he liked. It wasn't until Shalis was ten years old that she understood the difference. As long as the Third God Emperor Rodel is around, Shalis must be the protagonist at the dinner table. Compared with the other brothers who may not be able to see the Third God Emperor Rodel for a year, there are so many enviable things about her. .

The simple clothes and long hair tied up casually made the eyes of the Third God Emperor Rodel shine, who was used to seeing palace attire. He smiled and asked Shalis to sit next to him. In the army, everything was kept simple, and simple dishes could not stop the good mood of the Third God Emperor Rodel. He watched Shalis eat with a loving face, and kept urging her to eat more, making Jialong laugh at the third god. God Emperor Rodel dotes on his daughter too much. Oh, I forgot to introduce the accompanying people. Needless to say, Jialong and Holmes were there naturally. Raphael sat silently next to Holmes and ate silently. The most surprising thing was Thiago, who was once known for not being liked by his superiors. He was obviously appreciated by the third God Emperor Rodel and was also present.

The dinner ended in a peaceful atmosphere. A few people were about to have some family fun and enhance the relationship between father and daughter, but were interrupted by a hurried intruder, "Tiago, you are still in the mood to eat, the princess wants to go back - —”

The person coming was Haman. Although he didn't know the Third God Emperor Rodel, he knew Jialong. Looking at the positions present, he could guess that the person sitting in the first place was the Third God Emperor Rodel, which made him suffocate. He thought Thiago was being invited to dinner by his staff, but he didn't expect that the treater was the Third God Emperor Rodel, and he hurriedly saluted.

"who is he?"

Looking at the officer who barged in carelessly and sounded very familiar with Tiago, the Third God Emperor Rodel asked a little displeasedly. He arrived in secret and didn't want to be exposed so soon.

"Back to the God Emperor, he is Haman, the captain of the Pioneer Army, and my good friend."

After hearing this answer, the expression of the Third God Emperor Rodel softened a little. Thiago is a cautious person, and his friends should not be bad, so he asked casually, "Who is the princess you are talking about?"

Haman cast a look at Tiago asking for help. It was really inappropriate to call the princess a princess.

Seeing Haman's trouble, Salis came to the rescue, "He's talking about me."

"Do you know each other?" It was obvious that the Third God Emperor Rodel's attention shifted from the "princess".

"Thiago is from the Knights of the Holy See, and his friends are naturally my friends." After speaking, he turned to Haman and said, "Tell me what you want. I happen to be here, so you don't have to worry about it."

Haman secretly glanced at the frowning Third God Emperor Rodel. It seemed that he had no intention of stopping him, so he let go of his courage and said, "I just saw the logistics staff preparing things. I said you will return to the palace tomorrow."

"Yeah." Salis agreed.

"How could you just leave like this? The war hasn't ended yet, and the brothers' affairs haven't been settled yet. You just want to leave, you!"

"Haman, this is the decision of the God Emperor, and we have no right to object." Thiago said sternly.

"So what if it was decided by the God Emperor? You also know her abilities. As long as she wants to, there is nothing she can't do. Besides, the God Emperor also makes mistakes sometimes——"

"enough!"

"Haman!"

Two scoldings sounded at the same time. Facing Haman's dissatisfied look, Shalis stretched out her right index finger expressionlessly and drew a circle in the air.

"I didn't -" before Haman could finish, Shalis made a "two" gesture. Haman looked at Shalis and Thiago angrily, turned around and walked out.

"Please God-Emperor forgive Haman for being disrespectful. He is a straightforward man and has no ill intentions." Thiago hurriedly begged.

"I see." The third God Emperor Rodel nodded. This Haman's temperament is very similar to Frant. He has a bad temper, but he is a good man. He will not pursue such a trivial matter. However, let him not The explanation was Shalisi's attitude. He thought asking her to return to the palace would be a troublesome verbal battle, but he didn't expect her to accept it so calmly, so he asked, "Did you know that you will be asked to return to the palace tomorrow?"

"I don't know, but I guess it's just around the corner. You won't trust me to take risks on the battlefield. I've been prepared for it."

The words of persuasion that he had thought up before could not be used. Third God Emperor Rodel looked at Salis a little uncomfortably, feeling an inexplicable sense of indebtedness in his heart.

Shalis stood up with a smile, saluted Third God Emperor Rodel, and said, "Since I have to leave tomorrow, please allow Shalis to leave first."

"Yes." Third God Emperor Rodel agreed and silently watched Shalis leave.

There was no sound in the entire tent, except for a few men with different looks. Raphael looked at Jia Long, who had a profound look on his face, and suddenly asked Tiago, "What did the princess mean by driving away Haman just now?"

"Well," Thiago said, as if he had just come to his senses, "it was the custom of the Holy See Knights at that time that one circle represented one penalty run, two represented two laps, and so on."

"Then Haman ran away as a penalty?"

Thiago agreed.

"You are really obedient to such a captain who has no real power."

"No real power?"

Although he didn't understand what Raphael meant, he continued, "At first, no one listened to her, and no one carried out her punishment. But it changed later, because every time she punished us, she would punish herself. Twice the amount. At first, everyone thought she was just showing off, but as time went by, she did not change. Instead, everyone became embarrassed and began to take the punishment actively. In the end, everyone tried not to violate the rules in order to prevent her from punishing herself. . In this way, the Knights of the Holy See changed from the most chaotic army to the most disciplined force in her hands. To be honest, everyone admires her from the bottom of their hearts."

"Oh." Raphael remained calm on the surface, but with a faint smile in his eyes, he continued, "So is she going back to rest now, or is she punishing herself?"

Thiago's expression changed, he asked the Third God Emperor Rodel for forgiveness and was about to leave.

"Are you going to persuade Salisi to rest now?" Raphael asked.

"No, I'm going to ask the medical team to be prepared so that the princess can be taken care of in case she loses her strength."

"Wouldn't it be better to advise her to rest?"

"No one can change what she decides. As long as she has another breath, she will implement it to the end." Thiago said and left.

"Raphael, what do you want to prove?" Third God Emperor Rodel asked, hearing something in Raphael's words.

"It's nothing, it's just that I heard that the princess is just a decoration in the Holy See Knights. Everything is done by deputy captain Bronn. She can't mobilize the army at all. I want to confirm it. However, judging from the current situation, let a person who has made up his mind will never Those who have gone back on their word are treated as flower vases, and they cannot complain, as it seems unlikely.”

"Raphael, just say that there is a problem with my intelligence. There is no need to beat around the bush." ​​Holmes stood up and said.

"Since the Minister of Intelligence said this, let me tell you straight. Minister of Intelligence, it seems that all the information you have about the Knights of the Holy See is not correct, whether it is the investigation of the Knights of the Holy See or the information given to the Knights of the Holy See! Among them, Should you give the God Emperor a reasonable explanation?"

"This, this -" Holmes hesitated to explain.

"I know what's going on, stand down." The Third God Emperor Rodel sighed and waved everyone away.

Walking up the black stone steps, passing through the golden corridor made of crystals, and stepping on the path paved with pure white stone crystals, from the foot of Anaheim Mountain to Shalis Yingqin Palace, you can experience the solemnity and luxury all the way. , fresh, these three completely different styles, in addition to lamenting the luxury of the nobility, I was also grateful in my heart. If Raphael hadn't insisted on Shalis bringing him back with him, I would never have seen such a beautiful landscape in this life. Although he and Salis had the same view, and his advantages could be better used on the battlefield, but he should be content with what he had come. Perhaps as Raphael expected, Salis actually needed him more.

As soon as she entered Yingqin Palace, Shalis took off her princess majesty and hugged Natasha who came to greet her, "My aunt, you scared me to death, and you didn't follow Natasha either." Sha said and left, at least let Natasha take care of you."

"Okay, okay, I'm back fine now. Nothing happened in the palace."

"No," Natasha gathered her emotions and followed Shalis respectfully. "It's just that the God-Emperor suddenly went out for inspection and couldn't come to pick you up. But he will definitely come back immediately, God-Queen and God-Emperor Already waiting for you."

Shalisi promised not to delay any longer and trotted towards Lin Yuxuan's bedroom. In the mansion, Lilith only brought the female official Tan Di with her. She took a sip of the tea brought by Tan Di and heard a fervent call from outside, "Mother!" Accompanied by the voice, her daughter, whom she had not seen for a long time, ran in. Lilith put down the teacup and looked at her daughter carefully. Not much had changed, but her beautiful eyes were shining with determination. Although I don’t know what Shalisi’s determination is, it’s better to have a goal than to be confused.

Lilith opened her arms to welcome Shalis back, while Tan Di consciously avoided it, leaving the place for the mother and daughter.

"Where have you been?" Lilith directly asked her question as soon as the intimacy was over.

"Father should have told you." Shalis lied on Lilith's lap, unable to get up. Lilith helplessly allowed Shalis to be naughty.

"I don't believe it. You have a very similar temper to your father. You will never do anything useless. Even if you are really kidnapped, you will not escape sooner or later. You have to wait for your father to arrive at the front line before you go. This is too much. What a coincidence."

There is no better way to know a daughter than a mother. Unlike the extensive management of the Third God Emperor Rodel, Lilith understood Salis clearly with her unique feminine delicacy. Shalis supported her body with her arms and held her chin with her right hand. She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lilith, "Don't try to lie to me. I know all about your habitual movements." Yes, it was Shalis who held her chin with her right hand. The habitual movements when thinking, the wonderful strategies, and the perfect lies were all born after Sally held her chin up and thought.

Salis was startled when she heard this, but she reacted quickly and immediately rubbed her head in Lilith's arms again and again. Lilith pushed her away and said, "Don't use the same method you used against your father to deal with me." Faced with her mother who refused to take any advice, Salis completely surrendered and told Lilith everything except Raphael and the final mission. .

"you--"

"Nonsense." Before Lilith could finish speaking, Salis rushed to speak, "I know this is wrong, but my father obviously doesn't want me to interfere in the military affairs, so I have no choice."

Lilith didn't say anything, she just looked at Shalis accusingly, losing all of Shalis' self-righteousness, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"You," Lilith sighed, stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't let your father know about it for now, wait until the battle is over. Do you know, Salis, with your father's temper? , I’m afraid the intelligence system will rain blood this time.”

"Queen mother?"

"Sincerity means ruthlessness, don't forget Shalis." Outside the door, Tan Di whispered that a minister was asking for an audience. When the Third God Emperor Rodel was away, Lilith took on all the government affairs. She glanced at Salisi again, patted her head gently, and went to attend to government affairs.

"Did I harm others again?" Shalis was left thinking alone.

Nothing is trivial during a war, and sometimes things can turn around if you are not careful...

In the year 207 of the Seventh Moon, the third God-Emperor Rodel reached a joint combat agreement with Cyprus, and the God-Emperor personally led the expedition. The morale of the Anaheim army was greatly boosted.

In the year 207 of the Later Qi Yao Calendar, it was summer.

The coalition forces of the two countries worked together to drive out the Evil Alliance troops occupying the Cyprus area. At this point, all the Cypriot territory occupied by the Evil Alliance was recovered.

Autumn, 207th year of the Later Qi Yao Calendar.

The coalition forces spearheaded by the Anaheim Army occupied Tianluo City of the Evil Alliance, kicking off the counterattack against the Evil Alliance.

The Anaheim army, dazzled by the victory, acted rashly. Under the leadership of wrong intelligence, regardless of the friendly forces behind them, it went deep alone and was deeply encircled.

The Evil Alliance's Blood Fiend Chapter blocked their retreat, and under heavy defense, it was difficult for the backup troops to break through. The God-Emperor was trapped on an isolated island and was in critical condition...

"Snap, snap, snap!"

On the flat black stone steps, Salisi ran quickly with her ankle-length skirt in hand. The Temple of Hope was already full of people, all discussing in low voices. On the throne, Lilith waited anxiously for the battle report.

"Report——" A soldier ran into the hall with a long voice and said on his knees, "The iron guards guard the entrance of Tianluo Valley, and the backup troops cannot break in. The God Emperor is now on the hills outside the valley. Depending on the terrain, there is no danger for the time being, but once If we run out of food and grass, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"How long will the food and grass be enough?" Lilith asked.

"Ten days."

Lilith breathed a sigh of relief. There are still at least ten days. The slowest four days to mobilize troops from Anaheim mainland can reach the incident site. There is still plenty of time, but the Iron Guard is really a trouble. It occupies a favorable position. , and its combat capabilities are comparable to those of the previous Holy See Knights. Although there are few people, all the troops are now dispatched by the Iron Guard commander. As long as they are properly utilized, their power is quite terrifying. From the time when Third God Emperor Rodel was in danger until now, the coalition forces have organized three assaults, but they have not even broken through the first layer of defense, which makes Lilith quite annoyed.

Looking at the latest map of the situation between the enemy and ourselves, Lilith frowned and thought carefully about which troops to deploy from where.

"I request to fight!" Dark Soul Lord Frant, the veteran who laid the foundation for the Third God Emperor Rodel, had long been dissatisfied with putting him in the rear. At this critical juncture, he rushed from the Anaheim mountains. Come and ask to take the initiative to fight.

"No," Lilith refused directly, "Suiyi is the first critical place to bear the brunt of the attack. Your reputation will deter the evil alliance. If Suiyi is attacked, we will face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, and you must be the one to do it. "

Frant thanked the God Emperor for trusting him, but who could lead the reinforcements best?

"Mother, please let me go." The fifth prince, Earth Soul Master Sam, said. His body was still wrapped in bandages. If he hadn't been injured, he should be with the third god emperor Rodel.

Lilith did not answer directly, and a feeling of powerlessness came over her. The Third God Emperor Rodel has twenty children, including Salis. Only four of them have military talent. One is injured, one is only involved in domestic disputes, Salis will not let her intervene, and the last one is wandering around now. . Except for the immobile ones like Frant, there were almost no generals available. On the one hand, talented people are not suitable to be generals; on the other hand, there are too many idiots who compete for merit and are better than anyone else, and they have no effect in fighting. Alas, the Third God Emperor Rodel really needs to clean up the army management system.

While he was worrying, he heard an unexpected voice, "Mother, I request to go to war."

A somewhat unfamiliar figure walked into the hall slowly and unhurriedly, making Sam look particularly tall.

She slowly opened the shabby cloak that covered her whole body, and her long golden hair fluttered in the wind, making the Temple of Hope suddenly light up at night.

The tight-fitting black outfit showed her good figure, and her lake-green eyes were clear and peaceful.

"Your Highness the Princess!" Lilith was relieved. Everything would be fine when this princess who traveled all over the world came back.

"Mother!" the eldest princess smiled, "I have told you so many times, just call me Ruijie."

Ruijie, the only daughter of the third God Emperor Rodel and the first God Queen Renas. According to records, Renus was a rare helper to the Third God Emperor Rodel in establishing his empire. For her sake, the Third God Emperor Rodel made a vow to only marry her in his lifetime.

However, one month after Ruijie was born, she mysteriously disappeared. The deeply shocked Third God Emperor Rodel had no interest in national affairs. If Charles Lee and others had not struggled to survive, Anaheim would have been destroyed long ago.

The third God Emperor Rodel calmed down and governed the country into the most powerful country, but he married countless wives from then on, and he did not stop until Lilith appeared.

But these are records in history books. It is said that the veterans of the Third God Emperor Rodel did not know that Renas existed. The Third God Emperor Rodel they knew had actually been a romantic man until Lilith appeared. .

As for Ruijie's life experience, no one can tell. Since Renas doesn't exist anymore, where is the daughter? But these are not important. What is important is that the Third God Emperor Rodel dotes on Ruijie. This kind of favor makes Ruijie the only princess who can go anywhere at will. Everyone says that in fact, the Third God Emperor Rodel loves Sally. Si's favor is not as good as that of Ruijie, because Ruijie supports the Third God Emperor Rodel in whatever he does, but he is not so free with Shalis. As for Shalis, Ruijie is just the sister she admires most, nothing else.

Lilith stopped nagging and wrote a letter of appointment, appointing Ruijie as the commander of the Holy Army of the Temple, and the other personnel followed the original ranks of the Holy Army.

Ruijie accepted the order and promised to come up with a combat plan within two days, and then left the Temple of Hope under the guidance of the Crusaders and headed for the war room.

Salis stood in an inconspicuous corner of the Temple of Hope, expressing her full of envy and disappointment with her eyes. Same thing, why is her sister excluded when she can do it?

In the war room, Ruijie stared at the map. This battle was easy to say, but also difficult to say, because the road leading to the location of the Third God Emperor Rodel was only one jump, which was to break through the iron guard. Valley But it was this valley that became a difficult obstacle to overcome.

The area around Tianluo already belongs to the Evil Alliance. The entry of the Temple Army will not occupy the right place. It will be extremely difficult to break through the heavily guarded defense line in a short time. For this plan - Ruijie thought for a while and summoned Frant. Asked, "Is this the only way to rescue my father now?"

"This-" Frant looked confused.

"If we open a second passage to bypass the iron guard, not only can we help my father, but we can also go straight in and catch the enemy by surprise. Wouldn't that be better?" Ruijie expressed his thoughts.

Frant walked to the map, drew a circle in a certain area with his hand, and said, "We have also considered your idea. The only area where a second road can be opened is here, but this is the domain of the elves. Afraid--"

Ruijie nodded to express his understanding. The elves are a mysterious people. They live in the forest at the junction of the Evil Alliance Temple. They are always neutral and never take sides. At the same time, these two realms never interfere with the lives of the elves. If the temple wants to borrow a road from the elves' territory, I'm afraid the elves won't agree.

"I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Seeing Ruijie frowning, Frant said what he had been thinking about for a long time, "Maybe the Queen has a way."

"Queen mother?"

Frant nodded in affirmation, "Before she entered the palace, she was a descendant of the Anaheim Mountain Dragon Clan. The Anaheim Mountain Clan's territory is next to the Elf Clan. They should have interacted with each other."

Ruijie understood. She stopped talking too much and began to formulate a battle plan.

The early morning glow revealed a lazy face, and Ruijie's plan was in Lilith's hands. Lilith stretched her aching muscles and looked over it.

"This -" A rare and incredible expression appeared on Lilith's face.

"This is the best plan we can think of at the moment. We divide our troops into two groups. One group attacks the Iron Guard head-on. The other group detours around the elven realm and attacks the Evil Alliance from there. On the one hand, it can catch the enemy off guard, and on the other hand, it can also give God The emperor successfully escaped and set up double insurance, after all, we are not sure whether we can defeat the Iron Guard in ten days."

"Impossible, the elves can't let us pass." Lilith flatly refused.

Ruijie didn't expect Lilith's attitude to be so tough, but he still tried his best to persuade Lilith, "So we need your help. You have dealings with the elves, as long as you come forward."

Lilith did not answer directly, but just shook her head, "No, the elves are a kind nation, and they are also a stubborn nation. If it conflicts with the principles they insist on, they will turn into demons, and neutrality is their Principle, no one can break it.”

"We are just giving it a try. After all, the enemy's defense line is in the valley. No matter how many troops there are, they must march forward in formation. As long as the enemy is well-arranged, no matter how many reinforcements are there, it will be useless. It is better to divide the troops and give it a try. If it doesn't work, make another plan. ." Ruijie is a little anxious. This is the only best plan now. If Lilith vetoes it, it will definitely lead to a hard battle. Although borrowing the elf realm may not succeed, it at least gives one more hope.

Lilith lowered her head and looked at the map carefully. What Ruijie said made sense. Considering that the Third God Emperor Rodel is in great danger on the front line, it might be a good thing to have more hope. What should I do?

Frant saw that Lilith was persuaded, and hurriedly added more energy, "The more day the God-Emperor is on the front line, the more dangerous he will be. God-Queen and God-Emperor, please think twice."

"Okay," Lilith nodded. After all, the Third God Emperor Rodel is the most important, "but we have to divide the troops. Who do you plan to send to lead the other group?"

Ruijie and Frant looked at each other and said in unison, "Salise Rodel."

"Frant, you are so bold!" Lilith reprimanded, "You suggest such a thing even though you know the God Emperor's thoughts."

"I know that the two God Emperors are thinking about Princess Salise Rodel, but God Emperor, you are not a simple mother. You must be responsible for the people of Anaheim. With all due respect, if you sacrifice the princess alone, The happiness of others can be exchanged for the happiness of more people, which is not a bad idea.”

"You-" Frant's words hit Lilith's heart, but she was unable to refute. I understand these principles, but when it comes to my own children, how can I not hesitate.

There were brisk footsteps outside the door, and without warning, Shalis walked in with a puzzled look on her face.

"Frant, you!" Lilith pointed at Frant, not knowing how to express her mood at the moment. Frant was also unambiguous and directly conveyed to Salis the problems faced by the proposed plan and the dispute between himself and Lilith in a concise and concise manner, letting Salis make up her own mind.

Shalisi looked at her mother who clenched her fists and lowered her head without looking at her. She knew in her heart that she was worried and uneasy. Shalis stepped forward gently, put her arms around Lilith's waist, pressed her face against her back, and said slightly but firmly, "I'll go!"

Lilith held Shalis' arm with one hand and said helplessly, "I know, you were educated by me, but I still don't know your temper." She turned around, held Shalis's hands, and looked at He looked at her eyes that looked so much like his own and said, "Think about it, after making this decision, you will have no way out. You can continue on the road of joining the army and be with the bloodshed."

"Well, I've thought about it." Salis's firm eyes reminded Lilith of herself back then. If she had known there would be subsequent consequences, would she still be as determined as she was then? The answer is yes, if you can protect more by sacrificing yourself, why not. If you are like this, how can the children affected by you be different?

Feeling relieved, Lilith took a deep breath and held Shalis' hand tightly, "Go, be careful," and then smiled self-deprecatingly, "It seems that everything your father and I did before was in vain. , It’s okay, Shalis, don’t embarrass us.”

"Yeah." Seeing her mother's encouragement, Shalis no longer worried. She and Ruijie looked at each other and went together to discuss the details of the battle.

In view of the magic interference during the war, which caused the magic crystal power transmission to malfunction, when the war actually came, the most primitive means of transportation, the horse, could only be used.

Saris rode alone on her horse and wandered to the entrance of the Elf Forest as if taking a leisurely stroll.

"Whoosh" an arrow landed on the ground less than two meters in front of the horse. The horse was frightened and neighed, almost throwing Shalisi to the ground. Shalisi's face remained unchanged, she patted the horse's head gently, comforted the horse, then jumped down and led the horse forward.

"I'm sorry, please don't go any further." A vigorous figure fell from the tree, with beautiful cheeks, smooth skin, and long golden hair floating in the wind. His signature long ears moved because of nervousness. It seemed that She has never seen outsiders. Her serious eyes were fixed on Salis, and she held the bow and arrow tightly with both hands, ready to release the arrow at any time.

Salis continued to move forward, raised her hands in the air to show that she meant no harm, and said loudly, "I want to see your clan leader." As she spoke, she pointed to the necklace on her chest, the symbol of the Anaheim royal family. The elf turned around to ask for instructions, put away his bow and arrows, and led the way for Salis.

Entering the forest, Salis was impressed by the sight before her. A big tree that only a few people could embrace rises from the ground, and dots of golden light are like fish scales, pouring through the layers of leaves onto the ground, like a carpet embroidered with golden flowers. The smell of decaying trees and the refreshing fragrance of flowers in the air mixed into an indescribable smell, not unpleasant but not unpleasant. The ground covered with fallen leaves felt soft when stepped on, giving people the illusion of an unstable center of gravity. Compared with the elf's light steps, Salis could be described as faltering. Above her head, birds and beasts made strange calls, causing Shalisi to keep looking towards the place where the sound came from, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything.

After wandering in this maze-like forest for an unknown amount of time, an indescribable giant tree appeared in front of me. There were elves on the tree constantly greeting the elves who were leading Shalisi, and then pointed at Shalisi and whispered.

Arriving in front of the giant tree, a hanging basket woven with garlands fell from the sky. Salis and the leader stood on it together. The basket slowly rose. Salis couldn't help but admire the sight in front of her. Exquisite wooden houses grew along the giant tree. It is built in such a trend that if you don’t look carefully, you might think it is part of a tree.

Around the house, children were playing happily. The older children here were busy practicing archery under the guidance, and the ones over there were learning to dance. There was a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. The hanging basket continued to rise, and now there were fewer residents. The elf in a white dress looked at Shalisi, the uninvited guest, with a worried expression.

Sharis felt her unwelcome and asked, "Who are they?"

"Priest." The leader looked into the distance and answered casually.

Shalis looked in the direction she was looking. The entire forest was under her feet. At the edge of the forest, the smoke of war slowly rose. Shalis suddenly understood the meaning of elf neutrality. No one can deprive others of their happy life. power.

The hanging basket did not rise to the top as Shalis imagined, but stopped on the second floor. The disciple who had received the news earlier let Shalis in without saying anything. A female elf was in the room. Wait for her.

"I am Celia, the leader of the elves." Before Shalis could speak, she introduced herself and gestured to her to sit down.

Salisi bowed to her and thanked her, saying, "I am——"

"Are you Lilith's child?" Celia said before Shalis could finish.

Salisi was stunned. She knew that her mother had a connection with the elves, but she didn't expect the elves to be so familiar with her mother.

Seeing her surprised expression, Celia chuckled, "Your mother has helped us many times, and we are very grateful to her. I asked why I haven't seen her for so long. It turns out that she is married. She is married. Who is it?"

After hearing the question, Shalis reacted, but she did not answer directly, but asked, "How did you recognize that I am her daughter?"

Celia stood up, pulled out a hairpin from Shalis' head, and gave it back to Shalis, saying, "This is the token we gave Lilith after she helped us. As long as we have it, it will be If it violates our principles, we will try our best to make it convenient."

Hearing this, the smile on Shalis' face spread uncontrollably. She didn't expect that it would be so easy to lead troops through the elven territory, and she also understood why her mother gave her the hairpin before leaving.

Just as she was about to tell her request to cross the border, a guard-looking person came in from the door. He whispered to Celia and then exited. Celia's expression immediately became serious and she asked in an unbelieving tone, "Can I ask who is stationed outside the forest?" Did you bring the army?"

"Yes." Shalis knew that persuading the elves was a complicated process. In order not to make the elves feel threatened, she ordered the army to station outside the forest and came alone.

"Then your request is to let me open the forest and let your army pass?"

"Yes." Instead of beating around the bush and competing with others, it's better to get straight to the point.

"Impossible!" Celia said categorically that Salis did not expect that the harmonious atmosphere just now would be destroyed because of the army's problems, and said hurriedly, "Didn't you just say that you could do something convenient in order to repay my mother?"

"On the premise that it does not violate the principles of our elves, peace-loving and neutrality are the principles of our elves. We do not welcome anything that brings misfortune. Please come back."

Hearing the word "please come back", the guard outside the door came directly in and made a sign of please, with an expression that said if you don't leave, I will throw you out.

"My father is in danger on the front line. I must pass here, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" A simple contact can reveal that Celia is a kind person and has a good relationship with Lilith. At this time, family affection should be able to move her .

"Who is your father?" Celia hesitated for a moment, and her tone was no longer so firm.

Salis relaxed a little and said, "Third God Emperor Rodel."

"Third God Emperor Rodel, Anaheim?" The displeased tone made Shalisi start to feel uneasy again. If Celia refused to pass the Anaheim army, it seems that the reason will be found in her father, but I never heard that my father had done anything that displeased the elf.

Celia glanced at Shalis' necklace and didn't say anything. She just gently raised her face, looked into her Lilith-like eyes, and sighed, "Lilith, Lilith, you can do it." Are you submitting to the powerful, or are you doing it as a last resort for the sake of the dragon clan’s last dignity?”

Then, Celia sat back in her seat, suppressed all her emotions, and said, "I'm sorry, Princess of Anaheim, if it's because of the God Emperor, we will never help, because this war is caused by Anaheim, It’s Anaheim’s fault.”

"Impossible!" Shalis blurted out, never expecting that Celia would say this.

Celia did not refute Shalis, but just looked at her with a pity expression and said, "Do you know how your grandparents died?"

Salisi shook her head.

"Do you know how your mother entered the palace?"

Salisi shook her head.

"You don't even know about the people you're closest to. How can you know about these endless grudges? Go ahead and take me to say hello to your mother. Don't send her away."

Shalis really didn't pay attention to why the war started. She always felt that the enemy was the enemy, but she never thought about why the enemy started the war or what she had done wrong. As for my maternal grandparents, my mother’s natal family has never appeared since I was a child, and I can’t even imagine the cause of death of my maternal grandparents. I only vaguely remember that when I was very young, a concubine scolded my mother for her low status in front of me, but my mother didn’t say anything. , and the concubine also disappeared.

"Go ahead and take me to say hello to your mother. Don't send her off." Celia's voice interrupted Shalisi's thinking. Shalisi had no choice but to stand up and go out reluctantly.

"Do you really want to go through here?" At some point, a white-robed elf stood outside the door.

Different from Celia's beauty, her waist was stooped, her face was full of wrinkles, even her long ears were drooped, and the staff in her right hand was used as a crutch.

"Prophet?" Celia gave up her seat and carefully helped the prophet sit down.

Although she didn't know who the prophet was, it could be seen that her status was very high. Salis seemed to have seen a turning point again and said without hesitation, "Yes!"

The prophet did not speak directly, but kept looking at Shalis with her somewhat cloudy eyes, and suddenly asked, "Do you have the consciousness to sacrifice everything?"

"This -" Shalisi was confused, just taking the path to move forward, why did it have anything to do with sacrificing everything.

The prophet ignored Shalis's question and said to himself, "Only those who have won the respect of the elves can receive exceptional help from the elves. Are you willing to accept the trial?"

"willing!"

"Are you willing to lose everything?"

"What?"

The prophet still didn't answer, and stood up slowly without letting Celia help her, and walked out tremblingly, "Think about it carefully, and then tell me when you think about it."

Lying in the room prepared for her by Celia, Shalis could not calm down. What did the prophet mean? How could she make a decision without explaining anything. The sweet chirping of insects was like noise to the ears of a distracted person. Shalis could no longer lie down, turned over and went out, but unexpectedly saw Celia right outside the door.

"Can't sleep?" Celia was not surprised when she heard Shalisi's footsteps.

Shalis walked out slowly, leaned against the fence next to Celia, and said, "You have guessed it, so you are waiting for me here, right?"

Celia said nothing.

"Tell me, why did you give up everything?"

Staring at the boundless starry sky, Celia seemed to see that decisive smile again. After sorting out her chaotic thoughts, she whispered, "Let me tell you a story. A long time ago, a girl like you broke into the forest and asked for a loan. Said, I refused. The prophet asked the girl if she was willing to accept the trial just like today, and she agreed without hesitation. The result was no suspense, she passed, and the rebel army she led passed through the forest and joined the battle. .”

"Rebellion?" There seemed to be no uprising since the Third God Emperor Rodel came to power.

"I said it too early. It happened during the late period of the second emperor's reign. At that time, Anaheim was in turmoil. Various rebel armies rose up. The evil alliance also took the opportunity to attack. The third god emperor Rodel had not yet succeeded. He had to fight against his father's royal army and also destroy the evil alliance's army. He was suffering from enemies from both sides. After carefully analyzing the situation, the leader of one of the rebel armies believed that the Third God Emperor Rodel was more powerful, so he led his troops to join the Third God Emperor. God Emperor Rodel. I believe what happened later is very clear in history. Let’s talk about that girl now. She gained people’s respect during the war and even found her true love. Therefore, when the situation stabilized, she got married. Yes. Do you know who the groom is?"

Salisi shook her head blankly.

"It's the Third God Emperor Rodel."
