Lord of the North

Today's Gwendoline is already Her Majesty the Queen of the Lion Kingdom, and from her status, one can vaguely infer the background of the Dark Blue Cross.

"Middle level."

Xia Zuo seemed to have seen through Jason's intentions, raised his eyes and chuckled, wondering if this answer would scare Jason.

In fact, Gwendolin's current status in the Dark Blue Cross is somewhat embarrassing. Her status as queen is enough to be on an equal footing with the high-level Senate.

However, her position in the Dark Blue Cross can only be regarded as a middle-level employee, so most of the current Dark Blue Cross executives have a somewhat vague attitude towards her, which is intriguing.

"Middle level?" Jason couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this.

I heard Violet say before that when the Holy See defeated the Deep Blue Cross, it relied on the help of the major southern empires to drive them out of the interior. In other words, its strength should be on par with the Holy See.

Now it looks like we're going to be in big trouble.

In fact, if you want to drive the Dark Blue Cross out of Lopez, there is a more direct and effective way, and that is to attract the forces of the Holy See to the north.

Of course, this requires the consent of the four northern kingdoms today, and it is impossible to think about it with your toes.

Even if Su Xin and Dolan clearly knew that the Deep Blue Cross had taken root in the north, they were unwilling to let the Holy See intervene in the northern forces.

They are very aware of the influence of the Holy See's group of magic sticks, or the ability to deceive people. The previous major turmoil in the Haruah Empire is a lesson from the past.

So they would rather fight for a few rounds with Deep Blue Cross Star, rather than let the Holy See set foot in the north.

As long as the northern countries do not explicitly declare themselves to be enemies of the Holy See, the Holy See has no reason to launch a holy war.

"Could it be that there is no one left in the Dark Blue Cross? It actually allowed a sixteen-year-old girl to sit in the middle-level staff position."

Jason shifted his position and crossed his legs, looking rude.

"But it was this little girl who drove you to this bitter cold north."

Xia Zuo smiled, and there was a needle in what he said. He was very dissatisfied with Jason's slander of Gwendoline.

"ha.

"

Jason couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. He really couldn't refute this sentence before.

But after the Marquis of Asa came, he realized that King Lopez expelled him to the north where the kingdom's ruling power was weakest. In fact, he kicked Jason out of that vortex and protected Lopez's last bloodline.

It is also the most important bargaining chip for the subsequent Restoration War.

But Jason wasn't in the mood to explain this to him right now.

"By the way, who is the Scourge Knight you mentioned earlier?"

Graham mentioned this name before, and it sounds very powerful. It should be one of the top executives of Deep Blue Cross.

"Graham's teacher and guide, one of the leaders of the Dark Blue Cross Star Judgment Army, the strength is the sky knight."

Xia Zuo looked up at Jason, with a malicious smile: "And he is extremely defensive, and he is an out-and-out lunatic."

"You don't seem to respect that Scourge Knight very much." Jason's eyes were half a smile.

"Is there?" Xia Zuo smiled disdainfully and did not continue to reply.

It seems that the factional struggles in the Deep Blue Cross are no less than those in other forces. Jason had thought that there would be much fewer factional struggles in this kind of religious organization.

"Take him down." At this point, Jason didn't have the heart to continue arguing with him. It seemed that Xia Zuo was Gwendolin's diehard loyalist.

Even if he threatened his life, he would not necessarily do anything that would harm Gwendoline's interests.

Since this Graham's identity is so important, and he was caught by himself while helping Gwendolin, then sooner or later, Gwendoline will send someone to contact him.

"It feels like a long, long time has passed..."

Watching the back of Hassan leading Xia Zuo away, Jason's eyes were a little distracted, and he muttered to himself: "But I don't want to confront you again just like this."

"At least not now."

………………………………………

The next morning, the fighting on the walls of Diai was over.

Facing the powerful offensive of the Iron Fang army with about 300 remnant soldiers, Willis Knight had no choice but to choose the aristocratic castle that retreated to the city to start a tug-of-war with them.

And the three extraordinary men sent by Graham did not choose to retreat when the soldiers of Iron Fang Town attacked the city wall, but chose to fight forward, but unfortunately they were killed by three punches by Beowulf who followed closely.

"My lord, we may not be able to stop the enemy. For the soldiers and their families, let's surrender."

Just as Knight Willis looked at the thousands of soldiers gradually gathering outside the castle, with despair in his eyes, an adjutant came over with a sad face and said.

"We are soldiers, and we must fight to the last drop of blood for Earl Diai, and use our lives to defend the glory of the Diai family."

Knight Willis gave him a gloomy look, he clenched the long sword in his hand and gritted his teeth, saying in an extremely low voice that glory is above all else in his eyes.

Moreover, his originally groomed beard was already stained with blood at this time, and it became a wisp.

"But my lord, they are still young, and they still have their own families, we can't be so cruel to them!"

The adjutant couldn't bear to growl. He didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Diai family. In his opinion, it was not worth the lives of three or four hundred people to get involved in a war that was doomed to fail.

Unexpectedly, after he finished saying this, Knight Willis' face changed drastically, and he raised the long sword in his hand and slammed it down under the adjutant's unbelievable gaze.

Immediately, he didn't even have time to scream, and was beheaded by the Willis knight in public. Then he glanced at the crowd watching this scene in horror, and roared.

"Listen everyone, those who disturb the morale of the army, this is the fate!"

Different from the usual kindness and benevolence, Knight Willis at this time has a ferocious face, and the long sword in his hand is still dripping blood, which is the blood of his own people.

It was like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, and the soldiers present couldn't help feeling sad and frightened.

"For the flag behind us, we must not lose!"

He pointed the long sword in his hand to the back, where the aristocratic flag of the Diai family was flying, with the family emblem of the Diai family embroidered on it, and a shield with burning flames.

"For Di Ai's brilliant name, fight to the death!"

Knight Willis looked at the blank and pale faces of hundreds of soldiers in front of him, and let out his own roar unwillingly.

It's just that there weren't many soldiers responding to his roar, and all the ones who responded to him were desperate faces, because the army in Iron Fang Town outside the castle had already assembled.

The Black God Ballista is also in place.
