The meaning of the Sun King is already obvious - he doesn't want to be the one that initiates the war.
In recent years, His Majesty has lost the ambitions he once had. All the layouts are based on defense. Even a few years ago, he received the envoys of the Holy Court and stopped the dispute of faith. Just like the kingdom of Sha, Admit the nonsense that the sun god and the seven gods are the same god.
Of course, the Holy Court also brought many benefits.However, it will inevitably attract dissatisfaction from many people—especially after the eagle Dockley was framed by the Holy Court on the northern Kuroshio battlefield, the people of the Southern Desert already hated the Holy Court, so most people Is the main combat faction.
This time, His Majesty is obviously on the sidelines.
But the prince still couldn't bear the behavior of this floating island approaching the city.He planned to put an end to the arrogance of these people when he was at the gate of the city, and told them that even if soldiers approached the city, the people of the Southern Wilderness would not be timid.
But now, the prince is afraid—they can't stop the enemy from Sun City at all!
Originally, he thought that no matter how many enemies stood on this floating island, Sun City would be able to defend it for a year or so.In less than a week, the surrounding Southern Wilderness troops will arrive.At that time, they only need to cut off the supply line and come to a siege point to help.These guys who rashly go deep alone will have to go around without food!
But now he feels that he has taken it for granted.
This war has gone beyond his thinking and experience - the enemy can enter the city at any time.
And our own side is unprepared now, and we can't fight street fighting at all.
All kinds of war materials have only started to be distributed to the various troops in the city today. The arrows and arrow feathers in the hands of many soldiers were just moved out from the quartermaster today and inserted into the rapiers.All kinds of weapons and armor are only available to those who are in charge of guarding the city today. Most of the soldiers in the city only have weapons for training. They have already killed several quartermasters for this. When the troops are not ready for combat, do they have all kinds of military supplies that can be used for rebellion at any time?What's more, weapons and armor also need maintenance.
Now, there are a total of 1 soldiers in the city. From the busy morning to the present, only more than [-] soldiers can join the battle at any time.It is no problem for everyone to guard the city wall, but if they fight in the city, they will be killed by surprise!
Moreover, there are so many people in this city, if there is a fight, the city of Sunshine will probably be devastated!
After the mission entered the city, the soldiers on the city wall began to deploy intensively, especially the back gate of the urn that the mission had just passed through. Many soldiers were put on the wall, and the number of soldiers in the urn doubled.
After looking behind him, George turned his head and looked at the Southern Wilderness troops who were opening the way ahead and flanking the road to greet them. The arrangement they made was indeed to welcome a visiting mission—after all, there were only 200 troops here. many people.
However, these soldiers did not directly let the mission go deep into the city, but politely stopped the mission because they were waiting for the temple priest to welcome them.And said that the Sun King was already waiting at the temple.
"Wait." George said, waving his whip.
George could see that this delay was a private decision of the defenders.The Sun King would never let them wait.Because judging from the layout of the city, the old Sun King had already predicted that he would not dare to go to war today.
Not only did they dare not go to war today, but the Sanctuary did not dare to go to war with the Southern Wilderness until the situation in the north was over.Otherwise the world will be handed over to the devil.
When he was on the floating island before, George saw what the people in the city should do. The entire Sun City can be said to be safe - this city does not need to be guarded at all.
And so far, the Sun King probably thinks that he is here to seek peace and negotiate—the Sanctuary has a need for Sun City, needs to borrow food, and also needs Sun City to stop fighting in the north. make trouble.
The Sun King was indeed right. George really didn't want to fight him, and all the arrangements were just for pretense.
Judging from the situation in the city, the Sun King has already shown that he has no fear.It's just that what he didn't expect was that although George just came here today to pretend to be a force, he couldn't handle the force at all.
0830 High Priest of the Sun
The Sun King could have guessed at a glance that George didn't want to fight, but the soldiers underneath were already in a mess.Just now, George also saw a group of messengers rushing towards the city.
"Boss." Several knights in red robes looked at the surrounding streets and said to George: "It seems that the traversal technique we showed today scared the guards who guarded the city stupid."
Another knight laughed softly, "Didn't you see that when we entered the gate, those guards looked like they had seen a ghost!"
"In the future, when our warping aircraft comes out, the distance that the floating island can transport troops will be greatly increased. At that time, won't the city of Wing the Wind be undefended in front of us?"
The knights discussed.Just like what they said, there are already many guards in the surrounding streets and alleys. They brought a lot of tools for building fortifications, and they also evacuated the people. It seems that they are preparing for a war that may strike at any time. It is true that there are more than 200 people here now, but the enemy's troops may appear in the city at any time.
It seems that no matter what the purpose of the mission is, and no matter what the people above talk about, the soldiers in Sun City seem to be preparing for war anytime and anywhere.
The soldiers of Sun City seemed to have figured out that if there was going to be a war today, the Sun City would not be able to defend at all and could only be delayed.Especially the huge floating island, like an invincible shadow, shrouded in everyone's heart.
However, the soldiers in the southern wilderness were not timid because of the shadow above their heads. Once the war started, they would rather die than die.
For such a long time, George has seen troops from many countries, but only Nanhuang's troops look like a real one.Compared with them, the soldiers of other countries are just a group of farmers and fishermen with weapons!
This is a group of real professional soldiers.George thought to himself: No wonder Rodenke didn't participate in the war after beating the Allied Forces of the Five Nations all over the place.He also fought the troops of the Yue Kingdom and the Holy Court to actively negotiate peace.
Soldiers are preparing closely in various areas of the city, and at the same time evacuate the people everywhere in the city.But most of the common people didn't know what was going on. Those who hadn't had time to be evacuated were still standing in the streets and alleys and on the roofs, looking at the mission curiously, pointing and discussing.
Not long after, a few priests from the temple came from afar, accompanied by two teams of Sons of the Sun.
The high priest headed by him was riding a tall horse with a height of [-] meters!Also has a big beard.
Roughly estimated, his age is at least over sixty.But his whole body is full of strong muscles. It is estimated that even three or five Southern Wilderness warriors will not be able to hold him down.
And this guy's appearance is also very rough, with many scars on his face, and the clothes on his body are gauze clothes in the southern tropics, which are very thin, and he can see the dense tattoos all over his body at a glance!
Obviously, this guy is not suitable for holding a scepter, but an ax as big as a door panel. Of course, with the scepter in the hands of this priest, it must be able to easily turn out other people's brains.
After seeing the high priest coming, Bana directly bowed her head and bowed at the back of the team to cover up her tall figure.Seeing these actions, Lorna, Irene and the others blinked, not understanding what was going on.
But after the little fox Irene glanced at the high priest again, she seemed to understand what was going on.
When the high priest rode his horse and arrived in front of George, he first arched his hands, and after half of the arch, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he replaced it with a soft salute. The holy court hadn't visited for many years, and he Even etiquette is almost forgotten.
As an envoy of God, George responded politely.
Afterwards, the two said a few unnutritive words. During the whole process, the High Priest's eyes were the same as those of the Southern Wilderness soldiers around him. He kept glancing at the big man next to George, who was riding a horse. After eating the melon, he waved his hands foolishly after seeing the high priest looking over, as if the two of them knew each other.
The corner of the high priest's mouth couldn't help twitching.Secretly cursed a bastard.Obviously, in the eyes of this uncle Alexander, today's eldest son of the sun not only rebelled, but also brought enemies into the house!
After chatting a few words that were not nutritious, George flicked the whip on his hand and asked William to hand in the book.
According to the usual rituals of the envoys of the Holy Court after entering the city, after the envoys enter the city, they must first bring books to the Temple of the Sun to worship.And the Sun King will also be waiting in that temple.The whole process and ceremony is like going to meet the Pope.And the Sun King is the Pope!
However, in the eyes of the Holy Court, the temple here is not the Temple of the Sun, but the former palace of the God of War and the God of Radiance.And the Sun King is nothing more than the leader of the heresy who has occupied this birth.
George and the others also have books in their hands, and all the corresponding worship items are very complete.It's just that the seal on this book is not that of the Holy Court.It's from the Cathedral of Dawn.
Seeing these books, the face of the head high priest couldn't help but become strange.And when he looked at Alexander again, the anger on his face seemed to have subsided a bit, but he still cursed another bastard in his heart.
At this moment, the high priest knew clearly that when this group of people came over, they really shook a lot of prestige.But they, like the Sun King, don't want war.Otherwise, they will come in the name of the holy court.
Sanctuary has always advocated peace and harmony and a win-win situation. If the war starts first, there will be no place to put your face.So once the war started in the name of the Dawn Cathedral, there would be no place to throw the blame.
But whether these people are enemies or friends remains to be discussed.As long as their subsequent actions are measured, His Majesty should still be able to swallow today's breath.
Otherwise, Sun City would cease to exist even today, and the tens of thousands of people from the Southern Desert along the River of Stars would never allow these people to have a peaceful day in the future.
After the high priest personally packed the book in a wooden box inlaid with gold and jewels, he gave it to a child of the sun.Then he shook his sleeves, looked at George with a half-smile and said, "Your Excellency, your visit this time is really grand, and the gift you brought is also very big. Please forgive the warriors for their poor hospitality." ,Come with me."
Afterwards, George and the priest chatted while walking on the horse.After several conversations, George learned that the high priest named Tarrant was one of the eight sun priests.And it didn't take long for George to see who this Tarrant was.
Indeed, I could see it, because that name was written on Tarrant's body! The totem emblem of the Eight Great Bucks!
And if you take a closer look, this guy looks very similar to Alexander. He is Bana's father, the Sun King's younger brother!
This father looks so fierce, how did he give birth to such a beautiful daughter, and she is usually crepey? Well, Tarrant seems to like to put on a show, with a crepey look.It doesn't match my image at all.George couldn't help but want to look back at Bana. After looking for a long time, he saw her hunched figure in the crowd.
