In the past, it was customary to receive envoys from other kingdoms in the Firmament Hall, but it was only now that the rubble of the collapsed roof had just been cleared, and it was still far from being repaired. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Thinking of this, Tifeco's grudge against Roland was a little more.

"Take them to my study," he muttered for a moment, deciding at last to entertain them at the palace. It would be rude to bring the messenger into the basement.

As for the other side's intentions, nine times out of ten they came to seek assistance -- either food or cold-fighting materials. There is a saying among the nobility that in the summer they contact their friends, and in the winter they contact their enemies. The same holds true between kingdoms. Tifeko shook his head secretly, he still had a lot of things to do on his side, so it was better to send the messenger away as soon as possible.

Back in the study, the two members of the emissary group had been waiting for a long time in the company of Sir Brint. Seeing His Majesty, the two of them stood up in unison and bowed, "Honorable King of the Grey Castle, Wimbledon IV, King of Dawn has entrusted us to greet you. ”

"Say hello to him, too," Tifeko nodded nonchalantly, "Sit down." ”

He noticed that the man and the woman were both very young, their faces were quite close, and the family crest on their chests was a deer antler scepter, and if I remembered correctly, they should have come from the famous Luoxi family in the Dawn Kingdom.

But what was Misshara IV, the King of Dawn, thinking? Actually sending a guy with no hair to be a "begging" negotiator? Tifeko was a little surprised, most of the nobles of this age were arrogant, and they were too much worse than those old guys who cried poor at the negotiating table in order to help the dead skin.

"You're all part of the Julu family, aren't you?" Tifeco pointed to his chest, "I once had a relationship with Duke Luoxi. ”

"Indeed, Your Majesty," said the young man, "my name is Otto Locke, and this is my sister, Belinda Locke. ”

It's still brother and sister, he raised his eyebrows, since this is the case, he doesn't need to accompany them anymore.

"Now is the time when the Evil Moon is raging, I wonder why the King of Dawn has sent you?" said Tifeko, the first to speak, "If I am in urgent need of food, cotton, or linen, I can only move some out of my palace to show my heart. As you should know, the kingdom has been thrown into a mess by the Edict for the Throne, many places have been paralyzed, and the relief of refugees alone has left the royal capital with little food left, and it is difficult to draw more supplies. ”

"I deeply regret this," Alto said, stroking his chest, "but Mishara IV has not sent us here to plead for help, but to deal with a greater threat. ”

His words made Tifeco slightly stunned, "What threat?"

"Church, Your Majesty," Belinda continued, "now that the Church's armies have encroached upon Eternal Winter and the Wolfheart, and a large number of fugitives have poured into the territory of Dawn - according to the information they have brought, the methods of the Church are so bad that they have seriously violated the rules of war among the nobles, and they have hanged or exiled those who resisted, and only by completely surrendering to their nobles can they survive. ”

This was done with the sole intention of eliminating the nobility and bringing the realm under the control of the Church. Alto's tone was rather heavy, "Mishara IV believes that the wolf's heart will not be their last goal, and the situation of Dawn and Grey Keep is now precarious, and in the coming year, the Church is likely to start a new war and bring it to our land." The King of Dawn hopes that the two countries will unite and join hands against the Church. ”

"Are you sure that Wolfheart City has been captured?" After listening to the other party's statement, he couldn't help frowning.

"True, Your Majesty. The two nodded.

Tifeco had heard a little about the Church's war of aggression, but he didn't expect the other party to conquer the two kingdoms one after another in such a short period of time. If they hadn't panicked, the strength of the church would have been a little too terrifying.

Of course, this kind of thing still has to be confirmed with the Minister of Intelligence, the early arrival of the demon moon snow has hindered the caravan's journey, and he has not received a message from the Wolfheart Kingdom for a long time.

After a long silence, Tifeko asked, "What is the specific plan?"

Alto licked his lips, took out a map from his bosom, and spread it out in front of Tifeko, "If the Church sets out from the Holy City and attacks Dawn or the Grey Keep, then the other nation will lead its army north and attack the Holy City of Hermes, so as to contain the Church's offensive and make it impossible to take care of each other. ”

"An offensive and defensive pact?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied the messenger, "whether from the Coldwind Ridge of the Grey Castle or from the North County of Dawn, you will be able to reach the Holy City of Hermes within a week. As long as the main forces were stationed in these two towns, the Church might have retreated—a blessing for both countries if war could be avoided. ”

In this way, there is no need to buy pills from the church, Tifeco thought to himself, how can he drive Roland Wimbledon out of the West without pills?

However, the Church must also be on guard, and it is best to make an agreement with the Dawn Kingdom after purchasing enough pills and unifying the entire territory of the Grey Keep.

"This matter is very important, and I need to consult with the ministers before I can make a decision, and you can stay in the palace for the time being, waiting for news. ”

"Of course, Your Majesty. ”

"Also, I want to ask, how much do you know about the situation in the Eternal Winter and the Wolfheart Kingdom, did all the news come from the refugees?"

"There were some reports from spies, but not much...... The Church besieged Brokentooth and Wolfheart, and blocked the roads around the town, and we don't know much about the battle. Alto replied, "I heard from the refugees that the church used a terrible siege weapon to destroy the walls of Wolfheart in just one day. ”

It's probably also a snow powder weapon, and I'm afraid it leaked out from the third sister. "I'm not asking this," Tifeco said, waving his hand, "have you heard of the Blacksails and Garcia Wimbleton?"

"This ......" the two looked at each other before Belinda said cautiously, "I heard that she and the Wolf King died from the Church's arrows when they fled the royal city. ”

"Garcia and the Wolf King together?" his heart jumped, "Did you see the corpse?"

"No, no, but judging by the hype and the silence of the Church afterwards, the chances of them escaping are really small. ”

"Yes......" Tifeko exhaled, although it was a little regretful, but it was one of the few good news since the beginning of winter, and I hope they were right, "Okay, you guys go down first." ”

Alto hesitated for a moment, "Uh...... And one more thing, you said that the personal aid of some food and cloth, can you ......"

Sure enough, the contact in winter was all trouble, he shrugged, or not, it should be regarded as a reward for Garcia's death information, "I will arrange for people to carry it out." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The two bowed happily.

Watching the messenger leave, Tifeko couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Roland Wimbledon, do you hear that? This is what happens to the rebels, and you will end up like that.
