503. in the first place
Old King Ingels. Before His Majesty's cremation ceremony began, King Ryan had already closed the magic teleportation array.
It is said that this is to avoid unnecessary confusion caused by sudden teleportation, and that it will not be open for the next three days, and will not reopen the magic teleportation circle until the fourth day.
In this regard, the people naturally expressed their understanding and did not have any objections.
It's just that in this way, it will also suffer those nobles and commoners who want to leave. To do this, they had to go to the post house to rent a carriage and leave, or take a public carriage that traveled regularly; Of course, those who don't have money can only rely on their own legs to act.
But now, Sean, who is the grand duke of a country, naturally will not lack this money.
So he hired a carriage and prepared to go to the city closest to the royal capital with Alexis, and use the teleportation magic circle there to leave.
Since Sean did not hide his whereabouts, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him when Sean and Alexis left the royal capital. Obviously, the nobles of these royal capitals couldn't understand why this Void Grand Guild would leave the royal capital at this time, because it was obvious that the next step was the big drama of the three princes competing for the throne on stage, and at this time, those nobles who had a little strength and right to speak were eager to immediately find a camp and show their loyalty.
As it stands.
The most powerful is the camp of the Great Prince Adams.
All the nobles in the northern part of the kingdom of Lane are gathered under his command, and most of these nobles are powerful nobles - they may not occupy any important official positions and positions in the kingdom of Lane, but because of the chaos in the north, he has a strong private army. It can be said that almost one-third of the military strength of the entire Ryan Kingdom is now concentrated in the north of Ryan.
Therefore, Adams, who has the support of the entire northern aristocracy, is naturally the undoubted favorite to win the championship.
And slightly inferior to Adams. It was the fourth princess, Furcis.
In fact, after Sean learns that the forest elf named Fanny is a follower of the third prince, Arlan. He knew that the fourth princess was the weakest of the three contenders. However, the outside world does not know this, because they value the Grand Duke of Garrod, Asuna has clearly and publicly stated her position, and she also has a legendary mage under her command - Elizabeth from the Batian family.
I have to say that Elizabeth has indeed paid a lot for Asuna. When she left the Batian family, in fact, two-thirds of the factors were driven out by the Batian family, and now after seeing Elizabeth become a legendary powerhouse, she is trying to get Elizabeth to return to the family. If it is according to Elizabeth's idea. Naturally, she was not happy, but for the sake of Asuna, Elizabeth returned to the Batian family, and the price was that the Batian family fully supported Princess Vorsis.
Therefore, in terms of strength on the surface, although the fourth princess Fursi has little courage and is very cowardly, she has the support of the people and the nobles of the royal capital, and she is the existence that can compete with His Royal Highness Adams in the clear-eyed people.
But in fact, the real strength is the strongest. But it was the third prince, Arlan.
Fanny, the swordsman from the forest elf clan, is a powerhouse at the critical point of the thirteenth order, which is a whole level stronger than Elizabeth and Lauren. Secondly, although his supporters once suffered a big loss in the contest with Sean. However, the foundation was not lost too much, even if the overall strength could not be compared with the northern nobles, but at least it accounted for one-third of the voice of the military department.
Today's royal capital. It was divided by these three heirs who were about to cause internal friction for the sake of the throne.
It is precisely because of this that it is either Arlan or Furcis. It is clear that whoever has won Sean's support will be the next king. Even if you can't win Sean's support, as Arlan said, you must not fight Sean. Only Adams disdained it. His Royal Highness, whose personality had been distorted to the point of incomprehension, had nothing but revenge on his mind, and in fact no nobleman was optimistic about the prince except for the nobles of the North who had gathered around him in fear of the Oath army under his command.
Even the surrender of the kingdom of Dabiang.
But none of this has anything to do with Sean.
The carriage soon left the royal capital and drove away from the sight of the nobles.
Sitting in the carriage, Alexis looked very ugly. She had let go of the female elf before, so that she could use all her strength directly the next time she fought with her, otherwise Alexis would not have had to let her go at all. But now the result is that she can't fight the female elf again, which makes Alexis very unhappy - as for Elizabeth, Alexis can see at a glance that the other party is not good at duels, if she really fights, she can solve the battle in an instant, so there is no ** to fight with the other party at all.
Looking at the depressed look on Elizabeth's face, Sean smiled: "There's no need to be so unhappy, if it's just a fight or something, I'm sure you'll have a chance to make a move soon." …… As long as you don't attract the attention of those guys in the royal capital, you can just let go of your hand and fight for a while. ”
Alexis looked at Sean with a puzzled expression, as if trying to distinguish the truth of the smile in his eyes: "Hmph! I'm not going to do anything about that kind of waste. No one could stand a punch from me, and fighting me with them wasn't even a warm-up. ”
"What kind of warm-up is it?" Sean asked.
"At least, like the night before yesterday." Alexis thought for a moment, then spoke, "That female elf is good, barely up to the level of warm-up. But I really want to see the secret technique of the Absolute Sword, I have seen it once before when I was in the Green Forest Plane, and my strength has increased a lot. This female elf is the first person I have met since I woke up and can be called a strong person who can warm me up, but it's a pity. ”
"What a pity?" It was the first time Sean had heard Alexis speak in such a tone of regret.
"That female elf, can't become a super powerhouse, I'm afraid it's difficult to even reach the peak of the legend." Alexis shook her head. "Otherwise, I wouldn't mind waiting for her to grow up any longer. …… Not. It seems that I still have to find a chance to fight her again. ”
Hearing Alexis' words, Sean suddenly had a big headache.
"Have you heard of the Knights of the Oath?" Sean decides to divert his target's attention. If Alexis continues to pull it off like this, maybe she'll run back to Fanny for another fight.
"Nope." Alexis shook his head, "But if you're talking about the one I sensed in the palace before, it doesn't mean much. …… Although that guy is a legendary powerhouse, his aura is vague, and he is obviously promoted by some special external force, so such a person can only stop there. For me, it's not even a warm-up qualification, it's just a fragile waste. ”
"Good." Sean nodded in satisfaction. "I'm going to have to trouble you to deal with that piece of waste in a moment."
"Huh?" Alexis raised an eyebrow, "How do you know?" I didn't even feel the breath of the other party. ”
"Does this still need induction?" Sean chuckled, "You really thought I had been in vain for the past two days, huh?" Even if I don't join the side of His Highness Arlan or His Highness Fursis, they all have the same thoughts, and they will never be embarrassed or at odds with me. So, naturally, they will be happy to send some information to me, so I have some understanding of the personality of this eldest prince Adams. ”
"What do you mean......" Alexis frowned slightly, and then suddenly came to his senses. No wonder I said why there was a lack of breath today, it turned out that it was already waiting for us on the road. …… Hmph, it seems that I am really being underestimated. ”
As Alexis's words fell, there was a sudden rush of neighing from the carriage. Then the carriage came to a halt.
Sean was still sitting in the carriage, looking at Alexis with a smile, but he didn't speak. The latter snorted coldly. Pushed the door open and got out of the carriage.
Just as Sean had predicted. The legendary powerhouse from the command of the Great Prince Adams, the Sworn Knight Lauren. At this time, it was stopped in front of the carriage. He was accompanied by twelve soldiers dressed in leather armor that imitated light armor and broad-edged swords at their waists. Because he had heard Sean mention these things before, Alexis recognized them at a glance as the so-called Oath Soldiers.
The so-called Oath Soldier is a warrior formed by the power of a special magical contract.
In fact, these people are long dead, and they only want to fulfill the wishes of their followers, so they continue to stay in this world. These soldiers, like the undead creatures, never really die, no longer have any fear, and will continue to move forward until the goal is accomplished, as long as it is ordered by the loyalist.
But despite the similarities, in reality these soldiers are not considered undead, and can even be said to have no fire of life - at least the undead creatures also have the soul fire that belongs to life, and these oath soldiers can only be regarded as contract creatures, so they do not have any independent thinking at all. Of course, this kind of thing is not absolute, there are some strong enough strong people in life, with a strong unwillingness to die in battle and then resurrected by the contract, then they will have their own thinking, and even their strength will be improved and strengthened to a certain extent, but as a price is that it is impossible to continue to grow in this life.
There is only one kind of contract magic that can form a soldier who can form an oath, and that is the "King Arthur's Resurrection Covenant".
This is a special type of magic that is not classified as a class, and is referred to as "super-level magic" in the Magic Guild and the Mage Tower, meaning that it has surpassed all known magic classes. As far as Sean knows, the "King Arthur's Resurrection Covenant" is not a magic that can be cast casually, it is not so much magic as a magic array, and he needs extremely strict special circumstances and conditions to be able to produce it.
One of the most demanding constraints is fearless loyalty to followers.
Just like Clov's Cecilia Guards did to Cecilia, even if Cecilia asked them to die, they would not hesitate to die. Only by attaining this level of loyalty can one of the limitations of this super-level magic be achieved.
However, what really makes this magic extremely tricky and troublesome is not that its followers have an almost invincible army of undead, but that the problem arises precisely with this contractor.
The most straightforward way to deal with the Oath Legion is to kill the Covenanter - in other words, if you want to make the Oath Legion disappear, then killing the Grand Prince Adams is undoubtedly the easiest. But perhaps the person who created this magic in the first place also knew very well that this flaw could easily make his magic a chicken rib, so this magic also had another effect, that is, to make the contractor also have a near-immortal state.
This immortality does not mean that he will never die.
It is that the contractor will also be born, old, sick and die, but he will never die due to the injury of external forces. And as long as the contractor does not die, then the Legion of the Oath will never be destroyed.
That's why Sean was so tricky when he heard Vivien say that Adams had such an army under his command.
As for why he would know?
That's because there was such a boss in the game back then. Therefore, Sean also knows very well that the safest way to deal with Adams is to divide his five horses and seal all the pieces of the corpse, only in this way can he solve the trouble of the Oath Legion. But Sean didn't want to get involved in the battle for the throne at all, the competition between three princes and princesses like them, it was impossible to decide the winner without a few months, and Sean didn't have so much time to stay in the royal capital.
Alexis looked at the heavily armored man in front of him who was almost twenty meters away from him, and his eyes were extremely cold: "Give way, or die." ”
As a slayer warrior who can make a name for herself in the Outlands, Alexis has never known what politeness is, and her temper is like her strength.
It's not that she's arrogant, but in fact she really doesn't care about everything in the outside world. Only those who could interest her would be a little willing to put a little bit of her gaze into watching, just like the forest elf Fanny before. But like the oath knight Lauren in front of him, although he has also reached the legendary combat power of the twelfth order, in the eyes of Alexis, he seems worthless.
To put it bluntly, it is vulnerable. (To be continued......)
