"What?!!"
Longfield looked at his father in surprise.
This matter actually involved his own country... and it happened before the war broke out.
"You were still traveling in Jagun at that time, so I didn't tell anyone about this matter. Later, the war broke out before you came back. I hoped that they would deal with it on their own, so I never mentioned it again... I just didn't expect that you had stood on the side of Prince Sean of Jagun." King Barnett's words surprised Longfield.
I saw my father take out a cloth-like file from his pocket and hand it to me.
"I was even afraid that the maid who was cleaning would see me, so I didn't dare leave it anywhere. I always carried it with me. I thought I could just burn it in the end, but I didn't expect you to be inside it!"
Longfield finally opened the file and took a look.
At the top was a circular icon of an elder, spread out like an octopus. In the middle was a distorted star, with what looked like an eye within it...
And the signature of this message actually came from the King of Kharistan.
The content is: hope to join their holy war, and promise that they will get very high rewards after victory, and will have the opportunity to divide the land on the day when Jagun is destroyed.
The conditions were very tempting, but they sounded like something a brainless person would say. Even if Kharistan and Horton were ten allies, would they definitely be able to defeat Jagun? They might suffer, and even the entire Jagun would be in a long-term war, but the same would apply to other countries.
If you still can’t win after making it to the end, what’s the point of all this!
"Has the King of Kharistan gone mad?"
"Look behind you." King Barnett suggested.
The next article introduces the relevant matters of this ghost incident... It turns out that the real mastermind behind this ghost incident is Kharistan. They used some abilities obtained from other places to enable the wizards to gain stronger power and summon some terrible creatures.
And this power is regarded by them as the last resort!
"Some kind of power?"
"Did you notice the mark on the letter?" King Barnett pointed at...
And Longfield took a look.
This thing is really weird, it looks like some kind of pattern.
"Is this the seal of some organization?"
"Yes, they are from a special organization that emerged in the desert over sixty years ago, the Immortals... and this mark is said to have been passed down for thousands of years. It is a true ancient mark, representing some mysterious power, a power that transcends all others."
Longfield never thought that his father would speak so much like a conversation between a priest and a high priest.
The high priest could certainly say this, but his father was the king of this country, the one who truly wanted to lead the people to prosperity, so he should not say such unrealistic words.
"I know you don't believe it, but this happened when I was a kid... It was a chaotic time..."
King Barnett told the story of his childhood, which was more than sixty years ago.
The entire desert situation is still in a relatively chaotic state. Because of the decline of Jagun, the desert countries saw an opportunity and began to rise up many schools and organizations.
"I was very young then, following my father. Your grandfather and the others maintained the stability of this country. However, this old seal had already appeared at that time. I have seen everyone who came into contact with it become completely crazy and frantic. No one could resist that power."
There is no mention of this mysterious power in King Barnet's description, but people related to them did die one after another.
No matter how many people went to investigate, no one could really come back. In the end, even the people who wanted to investigate died at home. It was like a plague or a mysterious force that was difficult to describe.
But everything connected with it perished.
"You mean to say that since Kharistan has obtained this power, he wants to resist and take me with him?"
"Of course I don't believe it... Even if they try to contact them, they will die. It's a mysterious force that cannot be controlled. That's why I didn't intervene before."
To put it bluntly, King Barnett didn't want to get involved at all, so his avoidance attitude was the best way to protect himself.
"Whether they have discovered the ancient mysterious power or not, as long as we don't get involved, everything will be fine!"
"But it also says that when the time is right, divine soldiers will descend from the sky..."
King Barnett looked at his child's seemingly disdainful expression, as if he didn't care at all. All his attention was still on the war itself.
After all, he had not experienced that era and had no idea of the horror of that mysterious power... Some people came into contact with it, some people heard about it but went crazy and chose to fend for themselves in the endless madness and chaos. At that time, no one knew why such a thing happened.
And there is no reason to be found.
Although I was still a child at that time, this incident became a shadow in my childhood that could never be shaken off.
Later on, it seemed like someone deliberately suppressed the matter, so no one heard about it again... and no one went looking for anything related to the old seal, so the world seemed to be at peace again.
But when King Barnett saw the letter again, he was really shocked. After sixty years, that thing appeared again!
"But your news also told me that since they lost so much land in just half a month, no ancient power can help them. This may be a failed attempt. From what I know about King Khalistan, he loves to gamble. He has been gambling almost his entire life. I don't know whether he is right or wrong this time!"
"I think it's wrong."
Longfield said confidently.
As long as he understood where his father was hesitating, it would be easy to find a targeted solution, and the information he had obtained now might be the best gift he could give to Prince Sean.
………………
After another ten days on the war front, Jagun's army seemed a little tired, and the pace of conquering cities slowed down a lot, mainly because the supply of iron-hoofed cattle and artillery was running out.
However, compared to his own country, Khalistan is the country that is truly on the verge of extinction...
Almost half of the land was conquered and everything was looted.
Hunger and health have become the most serious problems.
It is said that there have been reports of uprisings in the east, and this country may soon face plundering by its own citizens.
And this is the time when Sean will truly and directly capture the enemy's capital!
"It's about time, we should get to the main course."
