Chapter 464: Unexpected People! (Monthly Tickets for Extra Updates!)
When the teams from the Principality of Jean and the Principality of Alban arrived in Maiye City, everyone entered Maiye City.
Now, Maiye City has been occupied by the Principality of Jean, but facing a powerful enemy, the Principality of Jean has no intention of fighting a life-and-death battle with the Principality of Alban.
The Principality of Alban was also very sensible. After entering the city, it did not seize advantageous terrain everywhere, and did not even dare to send anyone to the city wall. The entire city was still controlled by the Principality of Jean.
After entering the city, the minor nobles and ordinary soldiers could take a short rest, while the great nobles all went to the city hall of Maiye City.
Because Hayden and Lawrence will discuss how to fight the church next at City Hall.
Gervis also followed Alice to the City Hall. This time, Gervis did not go there because of Alice's help, but Lawrence personally sent someone to invite Gervis to go and listen.
Gervis now has a great reputation both in the Principality of Alban and the Principality of Jean. Although his strength is still weak, no one dares to treat him as an ordinary minor noble.
When Gervis and Alice arrived at the City Hall, King Lawrence and King Hayden were already sitting on the podium, with more than twenty nobles sitting below.
The nobles were divided into two distinct camps, one was the Principality of Jean, the other was the Principality of Alban.
The Principality of Jean has more than ten people, including the eight earls and the commanders of Lawrence's direct legions.
The same is true in the Duchy of Alban, but there are only two earls left.
This time, the church's conspiracy dealt a heavy blow to the Duchy of Alban. The Duchy of Alban originally had six earls, in addition to which there was the Marquis of Lost, the brother of King Hayden.
But now there are only two earls left in the Duchy of Alban, and even Hayden's younger brother, Marquis Lost, is in danger of death.
Lost was also plotted against by the church and Alot during the dinner that day, and was poisoned by the bellflower. He was then kept under house arrest in the palace.
Now the Royal City of Hayden may have fallen into the hands of the church, and Lost, one of the two golden knights of the Principality of Alban, will certainly not be safe.
…
"Today, I called everyone here to announce something to you!"
When all the nobles arrived, Lawrence on the stage spoke first.
"Since the day the church appeared, they have been full of hostility towards the nobles. They have always wanted to overthrow the noble class and take control of the entire continent!"
"However, several decades ago, my father, Emperor Trede Gene, unified the entire continent and temporarily curbed the church's planning and development. However, more than 20 years ago, Emperor Trede suddenly died, and the entire continent was divided again."
"Regarding the reason why my father, Emperor Trede, died suddenly, I am sure it must be the work of the church!"
"Since then, the church has been making moves again, starting to expand their power, and has reached an exchange of interests with us using the spiritual energy liquid!"
"In fact, we have always known the ambitions of the church. Reaching an exchange of interests with the church is only a temporary measure!"
"I didn't expect that the church would finally lose its patience and start to attack us!"
"The situation is critical now. As the head of the nobles in Eurasia, I have reached an agreement with Hayden. The Principality of Alban and the Principality of Jean will form an alliance to jointly resist the invasion of the church."
"As long as we don't defeat the church, our alliance will remain in place! So I need everyone to put aside past grudges and work together to deal with our biggest enemy!"
King Lawrence's words spread to every corner of the hall, but the alliance between the two sides was inevitable. The fact that the two sides had been traveling together peacefully along the way showed many clues, so the nobles were not surprised.
Seeing that the nobles below had no intention of objecting, King Lawrence looked at Hayden and let Hayden speak.
"As Lawrence said, we now have a common enemy, and an extremely powerful one at that. We hope that you can truly put aside your previous conflicts and jointly deal with this crisis!"
"In addition, I have one more thing to announce. All the remaining troops of our Principality of Alban will head north and follow the team of the Principality of Jean to the City of Glory."
Wow!
The news that Hayden said instantly caused discussions among the nobles below.
This is different from an alliance between the two parties. The City of Glory is the most important defensive fortress of the Principality of Zeon.
The nobles of the Principality of Zeon were worried that if the Principality of Alban went back on its word and seized the City of Glory, the gates of the Principality of Zeon would be wide open.
However, the nobles of the Principality of Orben were discussing whether they would be directly swallowed up by the people of the Principality of Zeon after they entered the City of Glory, when the army of the Principality of Zeon would continue to come to support them.
After the people below had discussed for two minutes, Hayden waved his hand and waited until silence returned before continuing.
"The terror of the church is beyond your imagination! I have a piece of news to tell you now, and maybe you will truly understand why our two principalities need an alliance."
"Maybe some of you already know this news, but some of you don't!"
"The church is not actually from our continent, but from another continent. They came to us in a magical way. Their purpose is to rule our entire continent and enslave everyone!"
Wow!
Hayden's words instantly set off the whole place. The commanders looked at each other and began to whisper to each other.
Only a few earls apparently knew the secret information long ago and did not show any surprise.
For example, the Lord of the North, Nemio and others.
"There really are other continents! Gervis, could those books in the castle written in strange languages be from that unknown continent? I originally had this guess, but it's really hard to believe!"
Alice also showed a slightly surprised look.
The old earl had not told Alice these secrets before he disappeared, so Alice didn't know much about these aspects. Although she guessed a little, she didn't dare to believe it without real evidence.
"Yes! Alice!"
Gervis was a little embarrassed. He had confirmed this matter a month ago, but had never told Alice.
But at that time, his relationship with Alice was not as close as it is now, so it's not his fault.
"Grevith, you already knew this!"
Looking at Gervis's expression, Alice raised her eyebrows on her pretty face, and she actually showed signs of developing into a cold goddess. It was obvious that she was a little unhappy about Gervis's concealment of the truth from her.
"Ahem! Ahem! I was just guessing before, but I couldn't be sure!"
Gervis began to excuse himself without blushing or beating his heart, then he leaned close to Alice's ear and whispered.
"I also know the name of that continent. It's called the Holy Continent!"
…
When the news about Hayden broke out, all the great nobles in the city hall had no objections.
The teams from the two duchies only stayed in Maiye City for two hours, and then left Maiye City again and headed towards the City of Glory.
Before leaving Maiye City, Hayden and Lawrence simultaneously ordered the burning of the entire Maiye City to prevent it from becoming a camp for the church and the Principality of Xis.
Because this is the largest city closest to the Principality of Zeon.
After another week of travel, the City of Glory appeared at the end of the horizon.
Looking at the majestic city located in the center of the towering mountains in the distance, nobles of all sizes cheered. As long as they entered the City of Glory, it meant that they no longer had to live in such fear.
Instead, they can rely on the solid and towering city walls to resist the Principality of Xis and the Paladins, and at that time they can continue to draw troops from the country to defend.
Although everyone in the Principality of Jean and the Principality of Orben was exhausted, the last ten miles of the journey were more than twice as fast as before, and everyone put in all their efforts to rush to the City of Glory.
…
"Open the city gate quickly, His Majesty the King is here!"
The returning army stopped a few hundred meters away from the City of Glory.
Commander Sina, who was under King Lawrence, took several people to the bottom of the city wall to convey the news of Lawrence's return.
"Oh! My father is back? Then please, Commander Sina, inform my father and ask him to come over. I have something to discuss with him!"
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
