Chapter 290 The Last Chance
"Integrate the army? Hehe, we have already lost our territory. If we lose our army now, the northern nobles may not even be able to enter the gate of the noble alliance tomorrow." A northern noble sneered.

"In this way, in order to help you regain your territory, it's okay for us southerners to pay for food and money. Is it possible that our soldiers are sent out to die casually?" Some southern nobles retorted.

"It's as if the church will not continue to go south, or do you think your southern army can stop the attack of the church? Oh, don't you southerners and the church already have an agreement?"

"Are all the northerners blind and deaf? The people from the church infiltrated in the south have been bewitching the people everywhere. Can't you see and hear them? I think the northerners, since you want something from others, you should have it." A look that asks for others..."

"Hmph, we are all in the same boat. Don't think that we northerners are all finished, and you southerners can live in peace with the church!"

For a while, the entire hall was filled with sarcasm and scolding in various local dialects. The nobles were divided into two factions, the North and the South, accusing each other, and their spittle nearly flooded the entire hall of the Noble Alliance Congress.

……

"Boom, boom, boom!" One of the people sitting in the first thirteen seats in the hall patted the table vigorously. After everyone quieted down, he said with a serious expression.

"Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Be quiet! Haven't you figured out the seriousness of the matter? The church has already occupied half of the empire! Will our noble alliance continue to quarrel here all day? There is still no need for the church to do anything, Let's fight ourselves to the death first, then talk about it?"

The one who spoke was the Duke of Eastman, one of the thirteen grand dukes of the empire. His territory is located in the middle of the empire. Although he has not been attacked by the church, he has already shrunk his army to the south of the territory. The family moved directly to Bulton City.

I saw him continue to say: "Our biggest trouble is actually that the army is far weaker than the church's army! Is it because our soldiers are not as good as the church's disciplinary knights? I believe it is definitely not the case! The key to this is that the church has Artifacts and gods, these artifacts are very powerful. We know that some nobles have also obtained some scattered artifacts captured during the battle. However, everyone must know that those are things that we cannot imitate! Our top priority is not to get Integrating the army is not about immediately counterattacking the north, but about discussing how to find a way to deal with those 'artifacts'!"

Having said that, he looked at the Duke of Cayman who seemed to be absent-minded sitting next to him, and asked, "You mean it? Grand Duke of Cayman?"

"Grand Duke of Cayman, as far as I know, the knights under your command have mastered new weapons that are no less than 'artifacts'. Many northern nobles here are also rescued by the team you originally sent to contact." Duke Eastman continued.

Immediately, the entire hall fell silent, and all the nobles turned their eyes to the Duke of Cayman, who had been sitting at the top without saying a word.The private soldiers of the most famous duke in the empire showed a powerful fighting power beyond everyone's imagination in this battle between the church and the nobles. They actually possessed weapons that could fight against the artifacts of the church. In fact, nearly half of the northerners present here The nobles were all rescued from the battlefield by the private soldiers of the Cayman family, which undoubtedly created a higher prestige for the grand duke who was already famous all over the world.Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is why the Cayman family has a new weapon that is comparable to the church's artifact.

However, the Duke of Cayman never answered the call. His face was tired, and the tentacles on the top of his head were drooping listlessly. It seemed that he had aged a lot during this time.

"Grand Duke of Cayman, hasn't Jiujiu that kid come back yet?" The Marquis of Burg below looked at the expression of the old duke and suddenly asked.

Only then did everyone recall that they probably knew the news: His Royal Highness Ann Cayman, the first heir of the Cayman family, had infiltrated into the capital for some reason, but unfortunately encountered the church's sudden attack on the nobles.Although they were lucky enough to escape from the king's capital, they were trapped in the north because of the flames of war that spread half of the empire and could not go south to return to the area controlled by the nobles.

The Duke of Cayman shook his head when he heard the words, and replied: "Jiu Jiu, the kid is fine now. Although he is temporarily trapped in the north, he is not in any danger at present. This is what bothers you, but what worries me is not this matter. matter."

Speaking of which, he looked at all the nobles present and frowned and continued: "My Cayman family does have some new weapons in hand, but we have a very limited number of these weapons. Not to mention supplying you, even My own army is only equipped with a small part. I have also seen the artifacts of the church. To be honest, I personally think that the number of new weapons in my hand is not enough to resist the army of the church. An army without new weapons, no matter how many people there are, will have only one result in front of the Church's army with artifacts - defeat!"

"Grand Duke of Cayman, are you a bit alarmist? After all, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops..." Many nobles looked at each other in blank dismay, and some nobles in the south who had not directly fought against the church troops even raised doubts.But more people, especially the northern nobles who had experienced battles with the church, felt colder and colder the more they heard the meaning of the most powerful duke in the south of the empire, so they were so pessimistic about the alliance of nobles, even almost desperate?

The Grand Duke of Cayman knocked on the table, and after everyone stopped discussing, he spoke again: "I believe everyone is very curious about the new weapons in my hands that can resist the 'artifact'. My Cayman family has already discussed it internally. , the Cayman family alone cannot compete with the church, so I will reveal the secrets of these weapons to everyone today. However, I am not sure whether it is the right decision to reveal this secret, because we have not shared the secret The other party has discussed..." He glanced at the people who were doing it and said.

"But there is no doubt that this is the last chance for our noble alliance."

It has been more than five months since the mace reconnaissance brigade crashed on the worm planet. Although it was scattered during the crash, luckily the core command module and the Iron Spike directly connected to it did not crash. separate.Spaceship AI Allen urgently invoked the landing procedure of the Spike during the fall. Although the Spike was also affected by the previous explosion of the Mace, it finally landed with the core command module without any risk. to the ground.However, due to various reasons, the Iron Nail was almost completely damaged when it landed. Fortunately, the large-scale integrated 3D printing module it carried was able to be used after being overhauled by engineer Evans, which gave them the ability to manufacture some autonomous mechanical devices The reason is the various conditions on this planet.
