Pivot of the Sky

After the death of Hamorabi II, who can control the kingdom is unknown, but Prince Feng Nyu clearly has the advantage. If Princess Xiao Xi is smart, she should choose to cooperate to protect herself.

But the situation changed so quickly that the Assyrian army suddenly invaded and the Kingdom of Baron collapsed for thousands of miles. It was a devastating blow that the six city-states ceded were also within the sphere of influence supporting Princess Xiao Xi, including her enclosed territory. Despite his defeat, Prince von Nyu has mastered the kingdom's army in the course of his resistance to foreign enemies and is now a beacon and pillar of the country.

Yet the disaster is not over, and Sinah ordered the kingdom of Barren to marry her. How can you not guess what purpose this ambitious emperor has and what fate he will face? Once married to Sinah, the Assyrian Empire would surely support her to the throne.

When she became Queen Baron, she was either completely under Sinah's control or Sinah would simply force her to surrender her throne. This time she was truly kidnapped and in such a noble and world-renowned way that she was singing alone.

However, the chant was interrupted by footsteps, and Pellie, her great magician, came in unannounced. Princess Xiaoxi sat there and turned around and asked, “Perry, is there something wrong with you? ”

The look of Paris hasn't changed much, and the man with the white skin and bright red lips still looks so demonic, squeezing his thin, long eyes and saying, “Princess, why is your voice so full of sadness? ”

Princess Xiao Xi looked at him without tears in her eyes and could not even see any expression. She replied faintly: "You will not fail to understand my situation. ”

Paris laughed, and this smile made him look a little more demonic: “Beautiful princess, of course I know what you're worried about, and Sinah the Great asked you to marry him, and I don't think that's a bad thing. You always want to marry someone, which famous hero on the mainland today is worthy of you? Only that invincible Sinah the Great. And with your beauty and wisdom, why not the joy of the Assyrian Emperor? If you are together, you will be the most distinguished monarch on the continent, the most wonderful beauty and hero of all time! ”

Princess Xiaoxi still looked unemotionally: “Perry, I didn't expect you to be a lobbyist. ”

Perry shook his head: “Your Highness, I am thinking of you, and this is not only about the fate of countless people, but also about your own. Alpha, the Assyrian Prime Minister, sent a secret letter promising the full support of the Assyrian Empire as long as you marry the Assyrian Emperor, thus concluding a permanent peace that will please both countries. ”

Princess Xiaoxi couldn't bear to raise her voice: “Peace? ”

Paris bowed his head: "Her Royal Highness is angry that you and your wife rule Assyria and Baron, just like your family, which is also a way to achieve peace. ”

Princess Xiao Xi finally showed her anger: "The people of Baron contributed food and property, and the Assyrians became the looters everywhere. Is this what you call peace? Not to mention the brutal slaughter! ”

Paris still smiles: "If you marry the Assyrian Emperor and become Queen Baron again, there will naturally be no more massacres in the kingdom. Your Highness, I have followed you for many years, and you have a desire to be queen in your early years, and this is the best time. Because of this failed war, Prince von Nyu took control of this declining kingdom. It is only with the power of the Assyrian Empire that you will be able to ascend the throne, and as for what to do when you ascend the throne, I do not think that everything has not changed. ”

The anger on Princess Xiaoxi's face gradually disappeared, and she still asked unemotionally: "Are you suggesting that I marry Sinah first? ”

"So unpretentious, and the best choice for you and for this kingdom," nodded Paris. ”

Princess Xiao Xi waved tirelessly: "I see what you mean, get out. ”

Paris bowed: "Please take care of yourself, Your Highness. I will guard the neighborhood and any unexpected circumstances will be on call. ”

As Perry left, Princess Xiaoxi looked at the empty house and finally couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her face seemed so helpless. She had realized one thing: she had been watched, and the private house in which she lived had been surrounded by an array of detective magic, and the man watching her had been following her, looking forward to her ascending to the throne of the Great Mage, Perry.

Perry may be for protection purposes, for fear that something might not happen to her, or for other reasons. She understood the means of the archdeacon, and when planning the “kidnapping" of the plateau giant, the trap of attempting to frame Prince Feng Nyu came from the design of Perry.

Sinah's desire to control the borders of the entire Kingdom of Baron was a disaster for many, but not an opportunity for others. To take control of his great empire, a brutal monarch naturally needs a group of aristocrats who know the kingdom to exercise power. That's what Perry wanted to follow Princess Sinatra, and now Sinatra can give it to him.

……

Paris came to the front yard of Princess Xiao Xi's residence, and there was another person waiting for him in the hall, which Amon had pointed out. When he saw Paris, he stood up and asked: "How is it, Your Highness? Have you figured it out? ”

Paris sighed softly: “Her Royal Highness still has some concerns, but rest assured that I have placed a detection magic array closely following her movements and will not give her the opportunity to make the wrong decision. ”

The silent voice said: “I would like to remind you of another thing, that Prince von Nyu's side proposed to assassinate Princess Xiao Xi, who later declared to the outside world that she would rather die than give in to Sinah. ”

The muscles on Perry's face twitched voluntarily: "I can think of someone who might do this. Do you know who Prince von Nyu intends to send and when to do it? ”

“Prince Feng Nyu is still hesitating," he replied, "but sooner or later some of his men will be unable to help. I'll let you know as soon as I hear from you and help you protect the princess. It's best to get rid of them. Let us not forget the promise made to us by the Assyrian Empire, which must not go wrong. ”

"Those people tried to assassinate Princess Xiao Xi and wrote about Princess Xiao Xi's death. But we can also celebrate the virtues of Princess Sinatra's marriage to Emperor Sinatra, who did it for the sake of the people of the Kingdom of Baron. Naturally, there are warriors who follow the princess to protect her, and we have hearts and minds to protect her. ”

The secret commands: "Warriors from the kingdom will come to protect and escort the princess, but pay attention to identification and do not let the assassins mix in. ”

PERI: “Of course I know. I've been following the princess for years, and I know who I can trust. Unlike you, they are sincere in protecting the princess's safety, believing that she is married to Sinah for the sake of the Kingdom of Baron. ”

The phrase "they are not what you think” embarrassed the princess, but did not reveal any dissatisfaction. After a few more remarks, she left the princess's house in a hurry. I'm afraid Amon did not expect that after that hidden reign he had pointed out, he had been bought by the Assyrian Empire to become one of the Kings who helped Sinah.

Alpha, the prime minister of the Assyrian Empire, had sent a secret envoy to promise that if the Assyrian Empire took full control of the Kingdom of Baron in the future, the high priest would enjoy unprecedented status and power, and Alpha had made the same commitment to Paris.

……

Leaving Princess Xiao Xi's residence, she crossed half the city and entered a brothel in Barron City, where her men in costumes had long been guarding the door. He came to a small flower hall, not knowing who he was waiting for. There were heartfelt men reporting that the guests had arrived. After the door opened, it was Prince Feng Nu's heart and Prince Feng Nu's teacher at the Baron Academy of Theology, Jackie.

When Amon and Medanzo first met Jackay in the town of Acad, he was only a level six magician, and he is now a level eight magician. As Prince von Nyu's status rises, Jacques also becomes a key figure in the Kingdom of Barren. This is a time of chaos, of conflict and opportunity on the continent, but also of talent. Roughly counted, more high-ranking achievements have emerged on the continent in the last decade than in previous decades, as if the geniuses that are usually buried have been sanded and displayed in turmoil.

As soon as he saw Jackay, he lowered his voice: “Has His Highness the Prince decided? ”

Jacques sighed: "Princess Xiaoxi is not guilty and there are many warriors in the kingdom who embrace her. His Majesty, under pressure from the Assyrian Empire, had to agree to marry the princess to Sinah. But His Majesty also told the Prince that the matter had been left to his own disposal, suggesting that it had become apparent. But His Royal Highness had never had the patience to decide to take out an aunt younger than himself. ”

"How can such a woman be merciful to those who do great deeds," he said in haste. If Princess Xiao Xi were truly married to Sinah, Prince von Nyu and the entire kingdom of Baron would be buried in the hands of this woman. Besides, the Prince himself should know that Princess Xiao Xi had framed him. ”

Jackay sighed again: “That's how I persuaded His Royal Highness, as far as I know, that Princess Xiaoxi had framed His Royal Highness more than once. On one occasion, she claimed to have been assassinated in an attempt to link the assassin's mastermind to His Royal Highness the Prince, after which His Majesty the King suppressed the matter. ”

"His Highness the Prince hesitated, perhaps because of his reputation in the future, and he did not want to carry the charge of assassinating Princess Xiaoxi, but you and I should know to worry about the country. ”

Jacques nodded: "Yes, that's why I came to you to discuss this, and we did it ourselves, and when it was done, I asked the king to sin in private. ”

The frowned: “This must never be public. Do you have a plan? ”

Jacques nodded again: "I have a complete plan to assassinate Princess Xiao Xi as a first step, claiming that she committed suicide to resist the brutality of Sinah. In this way, anger and fighting will be ignited by either side of the kingdom. Step two, His Highness Feng Niu climbed high and shouted, and was able to gather the people's hearts and minds while he could. The third step is to persuade the elderly Hamorabi II to withdraw from office, and His Highness Feng Nyu will rise to the throne, so that the kingdom will have new hope. ”

The silent nodded silently, saying later: "If we make the first step, Prince von Nyu will have to follow this plan, but first make sure that nothing goes wrong with the first step. In Wangdu, it was too quiet to do it, preferably on Princess Xiaoxi's way out of Wangdu to the Assyrian occupied territories. You are ready to notify me immediately, remember that there must be no leakage. ”

Jacques quit and sat there looking at his long fingers and wondering what he was thinking. The fact that this great magician was discussing the protection and assassination of Princess Xiao Xi with Perry and Jacques makes it impossible to figure out which side he is on, and perhaps he is struggling to support which side of the world will get more.

……

Salem City envoys came to Enrir City and, despite the state of war, Salem City made a request for prisoner exchange at this time. It is also a signal that neither side is currently in a position to resume large-scale fighting, or else it will only be a mutually damaging end, and it would be wise to exchange the rest and recuperation of prisoners of war with each other.

The paperwork was delivered to Faust, who had seen nothing for half a day, agreed to Salem City's request and wrote a reply to the Messenger confirming the timing, location, number and manner of exchange of prisoners of war.

In accordance with past practice, the exchange of prisoners of war was a signal of an end to the war, and the city of Enrique responded positively, indicating that the war, which had been both defeated and defeated, was over. But it was clear to Faust that it was just a moment of rain and sunshine, and the real storm and rain were still behind it.

Sinah the Great, who has already occupied six cities of the Kingdom of Baron, will never be willing to fail in the Plains of Turk. The small city of Salem will not block his ambitions, and it is expected that new orders and massive reinforcements will be forthcoming in no time. The cost of an expedition over the Assyrian plateau is enormous, but the brutal Sinah will not care about it.

Sinah's strategy was brutal but also seemed to be effective, as he wanted to take back the loss of war from his enemies, the more fierce the resistance to the city state, the more devastating the post-conquest massacre, and the enslavement of those who occupied the land, looted their wealth and survived. Faust seemed to have seen the scene of the corpse crossing, crossing the sheep intestine trail of the Assyrian plateau and on the fertile Duke plain, and would be burdened with bones.

The document sent by the Messenger of Salem City was written by Gore himself. Faust recognized it at a glance. He also read the code language in the document. He knew that Gore wanted to meet him, and probably knew what Gore would talk to him about.

Faust thought about it for a few days and finally decided to take this letter to Samir. If there is one more person in the world who cannot be excised by this wise man, then it is the Assyrian queen. Faust didn't trust Semir as much as he trusted Grey, and he didn't know what Semir would think of it, but he didn't want to and couldn't hide it from her.

Faust told Samir frankly that Gore wanted to meet him and that he was going on this date. Samir silenced for half a day, staring at Faust with a gaze of scrutiny, as if he wanted to see this wise man through, and eventually asked: "Aren't you afraid this is a trap? ”

Faust shook his head: “I trust Gregory, and now that he has made a commitment, he will never take this opportunity to ambush me. People are different in this world, and Gregory is exactly who they are. ”

Samir asked, “I can imagine what he's going to talk to you about, but why are you telling me? No one in Enrique is able to restrict your movements or ask about your whereabouts today. ”

Faust had a momentary impulse to say something, but ultimately he just lowered his head: “Look inside me, I can't hide you, I'm part of your destiny in Enrique, and I have to tell you no matter what adventurous decision you make. ”

Samir retracted his gaze and looked out the window and said: "Even if Gore is trustworthy, it's hard to keep the rest of Salem from hearing the news. If I lose you, it will be a disaster for the city of Enrique and even the Assyrian Empire, so I have decided to go with you. ”

Faust stood up hastily and waved: "No, no, no, Your Majesty, you must not take this risk. I'm telling you this, I just want you to know that if anything goes wrong, you can be more protective. ”

Samir smiled lightly: "Dear Sage Master, you are not afraid to take this risk, do you think I will? ”

Faust blushed and shook his head straight: "No, no, no, I would never dare question your courage, but you are the Assyrian queen and you are not worthy to do this. ”

Samir sighed suddenly and said in the tone of an order: "What else is worth doing in the world? Now that you know I'm the queen, that's an order! I have decided to go with you, just to keep you safe and not to eavesdrop on your conversation with Grey. You said you didn't want me to take any chances, but what could be more dangerous than what the thousands of armies killed? I'm already on the battlefield, can't I go on a date like this with you? ”

Faust stepped back and lowered his head: “That was the command of the Assyrian Emperor, and I would never want to see you personally slay on the battlefield. He has a queen like you, but he doesn't know how to love her. ”

Samir looked deeply at Faust, turning the subject apart: “You meet in the mountains of the Valley of the Little Bottom, two hundred miles from Salem and Enrique. There is no way to mobilize troops in the deep mountains. If there is any action in Salem City, it is impossible to hide from us. It is just an ambush by individual masters. Even if they are invincible, they can escape, so be it. Go back and get ready! ”

Faust withdrew and walked to the door and asked: "Dear Queen, what do you think of the latest news? ”

Samir asked unemotionally, “What news? ”

"His Majesty is marrying Princess Sinatra of the Kingdom of Barron," Faust said. ”

Semir replied coldly: "It is His Majesty's own business. He will not ask my opinion. I am afraid that even you, Master Wise Master, will not change His Majesty's mind. ”
