I draw a card first

Chapter 45 The Royal Mission
Temporarily defeating the plot of the Shadow Church, Aiwen was relieved.

Find someone to completely fill and seal the entire hole, completely cutting off the opponent's possible backhand. This incident has come to an end, and he has to go back and continue to worry about the development of the territory.

And there is another problem with unknown results that is waiting for the entire Lionland - the royal mission.

Aiwen now regrets killing that guy at all, and he is not afraid of the royal family of Lotias, not to mention that this so-called royal family really does not deserve his respect.

According to the laws of history on earth, the current Kingdom of Lotyas is actually at the end of a country.

The members of the royal family are bloated, the burden is huge, the old king is fatuous, and the nine princes are busy fighting for power and profit, leaving the upper echelon of the kingdom in a miasma and chaos.

At the same time, the local separatism is becoming more and more serious. The big nobles are gearing up one after another, but the territories directly belonging to the royal family are being eroded and shrunk year by year. The strength of the royal army is worrying. .

This dilapidated situation, if it weren't for the fact that there are strong men left by the royal family who can suppress it for the time being, it is estimated that the Kingdom of Lotias will be over long ago!
Under such circumstances, Aiwen naturally did not put too much pressure on the royal mission.

And in fact, the worst ending is nothing more than losing the blessing of the orthodox name, but if the royal family wants to make any substantive actions, they have to ask Ivan's hundreds of paladins to answer.
Aiwen's headache now mainly lies in how to comfort Lilith, that silly girl.

Glory, inheritance, etc...

But unexpectedly, perhaps due to the tempering of this period of time, Lilith was much calmer than he expected after hearing the news, and it could even be said that she didn't feel anything at all.

"What's wrong with the royal family? Do I need to be afraid of them with Aiwen here?"

Ai Wen thought for a while and suddenly had nothing to say.

Well, girl, what you said is very reasonable, you are right!
Amidst the secret expectations of countless people and the indifferent attitude of the Lion Leader, after wandering for more than a month, the second batch of envoys finally arrived near the Lion City.

"Is this the Lion City?"

This is a very young and handsome man.

With long golden hair scattered, he rides on a huge Stegosaurus-like Yalong beast, standing on a hill in the distance, squinting his eyes overlooking the ancient city standing on the ground in the distance.

Today's Lion City is not what Ivan saw at first.

After repairs, the brand-new city wall is more than one meter higher than the original, covered with magic runes deeply recorded in the stones, and a light blue super-giant magic shield shrouded the entire city, swallowing massive amounts of water all the time. energy of.

Focusing on the guards, it can be seen that these young soldiers seem to follow a certain pattern when they walk in each station.

A suit of armor and weapons are also exceptionally good, obviously they are all elite troops.

What caught the man's attention the most was that some officers in white armor who were clearly professionals appeared near the city wall from time to time.

He counted, and he saw at least fifteen or six different professionals in white armor and at least four or five hundred elite soldiers near this city wall, as well as two working castles. magic tower.

If the four city walls are all like this, then the conventional defense power of Lion City in a purely non-war state is almost comparable to the royal city of the Kingdom of Lotias!
"So powerful and rich! Why have I never heard of this place before?"

The man questioned the servant beside him dissatisfied.

A masked man who seemed to be a professional thief suddenly fell to his knees and explained cautiously:

"My lord, Lion City was really just an inconspicuous and remote city before. The changes now only appeared after the succession of the new Baron Lilith!"

"To be precise, it should be written by a foreigner named Aiwen beside her! This person is the real ruler in the territory today, and Baron Lilith is actually a puppet in his hands!"

The man nodded in disbelief.

"A foreign race usurping power? Another "Dilbach" who wants to play the trick of controlling the monarch?"

With a sneer, the incident seemed to be over, the thief secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the man smiled complacently while watching this scene.

In fact, he would not really punish a confidant who is a mid-level professional because of this matter, but he just wanted to express his dissatisfaction and beat the other party by the way.

However, this lion city
He once again set his sights on the majestic city that looked very prosperous as the convoy passed through.

"If it works for me."

The man whispered softly, his face uncertain.

After a while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, pulling the rein and rushing down the hillside.

"Come on, follow me to see this Baron Lilith, by the way, and that alien consultant named Ivan!"

A group of cavalry roared forward, and the appearance of this strange team was quickly discovered by the detection circle led by the lion, and the protective circle immediately issued a piercing red warning.

The soldiers who were accustomed to the training content saw the alarm, and immediately rushed to the predetermined location almost instinctively under the leadership of the Paladin officer.

The city gate also automatically closed instantly, and countless magic spells and arrows were aimed at the opponent within a few seconds, making preparations to shoot it into a mosaic immediately if something went wrong.

Such a quick reaction and strong defense made the man watching all this pay more attention to the strength of the lion leader, and the idea of ​​wanting to bring the other party under his command became stronger.

It's not because he's arrogant, but because he was born to transcend ordinary people, and he is destined to be an extraordinary person in his life!

"Hurry up and open the door to greet him, this is His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Kingdom!"

With the activation of the second prince's activation, the energy pattern of the three-leaf bauhinia that was passed down by the royal family hovered over his head, spreading real coercion.

And the huge royal banner behind him was also erected high, which stunned the soldiers on the city wall.

"He's really from the royal family!"

As the ruler of this land for more than 1000 years, the royal family's secret imprint is still very popular in terms of image popularity, at least most of the soldiers know it,

And the paladins, as former apprentices, will not be ignorant. In this way, as the person with the highest official position, the middle-level paladin Hiladis, one of the ten paladins of the first generation, suddenly felt the pressure mountain big.

Because according to the regulations, no matter which side's army and personnel are more than 50 people, they will never be allowed to enter within 200 meters of the city wall without permission.

Because this is the coverage blind spot of many powerful long-range devices due to angle problems, if the enemy enters this area, it means that the city defense will bear more danger.

And the opponent is about to enter this limit.

The lofty royal family is not something that a mere military officer or a mere mid-to-high-level professional can fight against.

However, regulations, rules, and even the faith that belongs to the Paladin in his heart cannot be tarnished.

In the midst of entanglement, seeing that the other party was about to reach the final limit, his faith finally prevailed in his heart.

Paladin Hilardis let out a long breath, put aside the fear of royal power that had settled in his heart for a long time, and suddenly waved his hands and shouted.

"I order, barrier to block!"

After receiving a clear order, the soldiers who didn't know what to do, subconsciously acted according to the order.

With the operation of the magic tower, the shield above the city suddenly emitted a strong radiance, and then a magic barrier more than one meter thick rose out of thin air, blocking the second prince and his party from the 200-meter defense line!
