deceased

The expressions of everyone in the Illuminati Society headed by Feida and Sophie changed.

The Santu nobles were all surprised to see this pair of men who looked very different but looked very suitable. Although they did not report their families, their appearance and the words of the black-haired man were enough to indicate their identities——

The emperor and queen of the Banding Empire actually came to Sangtu in person!

Things get more complicated and difficult to discern.

The Santu nobles gradually woke up from the excitement of the war, and began to seriously think about the reasons behind this sudden incident, its future impact, and Santu's delicate position between the two empires and the God of Light.

Sophiro has completely offended the empire since he injured Hayden, so he no longer saves face to Ciro I, and said coldly: "Shouldn't your majesty first ask the marshal of your country to have an affair with the necromancer?" something?"

Shi Luo's tone was even colder, "Who said it was adultery? Does the mission I gave to the Marshal still need the approval of the God of Light?!"

Sophie Luo didn't expect him to speak so aggressively, he was simply merciless.His eyes flickered slightly, "Your Majesty admits that your country has contacts with necromancers?"

Xi Luo said: "I was planning to have a relationship, but it was destroyed by you."

Sophie yelled sharply: "The Banding Empire is one of the two great powers in the Dream Continent, and is deeply favored and protected by the Goddess of Light! As the emperor of the empire, how dare you admit that you have contacts with necromancers?"

Things are getting out of hand.

The Santu nobleman was dumbfounded.

The eyes of the messenger of Shamanliel are getting more and more excited. To Shamanliel, this kind of progress is simply wonderful.

"I repeat, I was planning to have a relationship, but it was destroyed by you." Shi Luo's face sank like water, and his handsome face was shrouded in gloomy dark clouds, as if he would summon a storm at any moment.

A light suddenly appeared in the deep night, reflecting the still burning fire.The clone of the Pope appeared in the light, looking down at Ciro.

Although the positions of the two sides are different, the momentum is evenly matched.

Ciro's arrogance is in sharp contrast to the Pope's calmness.

The pope said: "This is the Temple of Light, I need a reason."

Ciro said in a deep voice: "There is a patient in the empire who needs a necromancer to heal."

Sophie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Ciro to come up with such a reason.Ciro had asked the Society of Light for help when Otis was exhausted, so they all knew about it.

The Pope nodded and said, "I didn't think carefully."

Sophie was stunned, not only him, but also other members of the Illuminati Society, Santu nobles and the messengers of Shamanliel.They then circled back and forth between the Pope and the magic army behind Ciro with unusually strange eyes.

Is the Pope afraid of the magic legion of the Ding Empire?

Except for the members of the Illuminati Society, everyone else's evaluation of the Pope immediately dropped to a higher level.

Xi Luo said: "Can I take the Marshal away?"

The Pope said: "Please."

Before Ciro opened his mouth, Soso rushed up and helped Hayden up.

With the Queen taking the lead, Nicholas and other magicians also rushed over.

Feida, Gabrad and the holy knights are all ready to fight.

After being supported up, Hayden shook his head, pushed away the hands of Soso and Nicholas, stood firmly on the ground with both feet, fixed his eyes on the direction of the flame, and then took out his magic wand and chanted a spell.

Sophie called, "What are you going to do?!"

Feida and Gabride both guessed his intentions, but stood there with their hands down.

A stream of clear water fell into the fire with the waving of Hayden's magic wand, and then gradually disappeared...

In fact, since Hayden couldn't extinguish the fire with so many water magic, he already knew that the fire on the burning platform was not ordinary fire.But he did not give up, one after another clear springs fell from the sky, and then disappeared.He never gets tired of it, as if he has endless spiritual power.

Shiro frowned almost invisibly.He would like to see a marshal who is in a mess on the battlefield, but he doesn't want to see a marshal who is still lost after leaving the battlefield.He walked over and called out in a light but majestic voice, "Hayden."

Hayden tightened his grip on the wand.

Suo Suo suddenly recited the spell.

The originally raging flames suddenly twisted in all directions.Shiro felt that the strange fire element that made up the flame was slowly disintegrating.

Hayden stopped.

Everyone stared in the direction of the burning platform.

The flames weakened little by little, but Suo Suo's eyes became brighter and brighter.

The Santu nobles looked at him in surprise.There are many rumors about this queen, the most legendary of which is that he was wanted by the Gulan Kingdom to the Banding Empire, and he had a beautiful love story with Xi Luo, who was still the crown prince at that time.Affected by this story, Suo Suo is characterized by beauty in most people's minds, otherwise he would never be able to attract the attention of a country's crown prince.Even though there are various news that the queen herself has great strength, most people think that this is a means for the empire to establish a glorious image of the queen, and they are not serious.It was only now that they really believed that this was not a queen who could only be seen. His strength was beyond their cognition, just like Hayden was a master of both magic and martial arts.

At last the flames were completely extinguished, revealing the naked burning platform.

Hayden rushed three steps, then stopped.

No corpse, no bones, not even ashes.The stake was as clean as if it had been deliberately swept.

Hayden's hands tightened.

The forcibly severed finger was being tightly held in his palm—as the only proof of Mundra's existence.

"Depart for home." Ciro ordered, his tone unquestionable.

Hayden raised his head, his gaze swept across the faces of Sophie Luo, Pope, Feida, Gabrield and others, then turned around resolutely, and strode away.Even though he was injured, his back was still so straight, and his steps were still so steady, it was completely impossible to see that he had just experienced a life-and-death battle and almost lost his life.

The men among the Santu nobles looked at his back and even felt a little jealous, while the ladies and ladies rekindled their love.This is a real man, a man who has been baptized by war, even if he loses, he loses so calmly and decently.

Ciro and the Pope said a few more words on the scene before leading the legion of magicians to leave in a mighty way.

It wasn't until they were completely out of sight that the tense atmosphere that weighed down everyone's breath like a stone disintegrated completely.

The clone of the Pope disappeared unknowingly.Sophie Luo and Gabride also retreated to the Temple of Light, and only Fei Da was left behind to appease the nobles of Santu and the envoy of Shamanliel.

On the surface, it seemed that the matter had ended in a more satisfactory way under both the Pope's and Ciro's concessions, but everyone present knew very well that this was just the prelude to a storm.

Variel, the palace.

The sky is gray and the dawn is approaching.

Shiro stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring up at the sky.Although he tried hard to calm himself down, the clenched fists completely betrayed his mood at this moment.Since ascension to the throne, Ciro has seldom revealed his hidden emotions in his actions and demeanor, which shows the degree of his anger.

"Do you know the difference between a marshal and a general?" Ciro spoke after a long time.

Hayden knelt on one knee with a calm expression.But this kind of indifference is not a kind of transcendent calm, but the silence like stagnant water.

"The general's goal is to win the war, but the marshal's goal is to seek long-term benefits for the empire!" Shiro suddenly turned around, "The general can be short-sighted and impulsive, but the marshal must have a keen political sense and a calm mind. "

Hayden lowered his head, "The minister has failed His Majesty's expectations and is willing to resign as Marshal."

"Do you remember what I said before you left?" Ciro didn't intend to ask him to answer, and continued on his own, "You are the only Marshal of the Banding Empire."

Hayden dropped his head even lower.He doesn't regret what he did, he only regrets not working hard enough.But for Ciro and the empire, he feels guilty.

Xi Luo said: "The position of Marshal of the Empire is temporarily absent for a month. I hope that when I see you next time, you will be the undefeated Marshal Hayden Nafist!"

"..."

Hayden closed his eyes.

No, from the moment he met Mundra, he was defeated.
