There's definitely something wrong with this script.

After Xu Shuo delivered the news, he turned his head to look.

I saw Catalina lying on the steps of the temple again, drowsy.

The elf is not on guard now.

The whole person was lazy, as if he didn't get enough sleep. When he was dozing off with his head tilted on his arm, a corner of the elf's ear hidden under the crown of the hat was exposed, and the fine white fluff trembled slightly.

Then she seemed to realize something.

Catalina, who just took a nap, opened her misty eyes and looked forward.

Seeing the young man standing in front of her, Catalina stood up again, rubbing her eyes and said, "You finished it so quickly? Then what are you going to do next?"

Xu Shuo just looked her up and down, but didn't respond.

When Catalina woke up, she couldn't help but feel strange.

"What's wrong?" she asked suspiciously.

"Your reaction seems to be much calmer than before after knowing that the dawn exercise of your previous generation has merged with human beings." Xu Shuo finally spoke.

The corners of Catalina's mouth twitched when she heard this: "Then why not? Are you satisfied if I break down and get angry?"

Xu Shuo smiled: "Isn't that interesting?"

Catalina immediately glared at him, gritted her teeth secretly, and walked directly past him.

But after walking a few steps.

She had to stop aggrieved again.

Then he turned around and asked angrily, "Where are you going?!"

……

In fact, there is no need to go anywhere.

After Xu Shuo waited in the castle for a few quarters of an hour, the Sun Knights who had gone to support the Gate of Pallas returned.

Before that, he had been paying attention to the status of Zuo Fang's team formation, and seeing that the other party had no red name, he knew that things were probably going well.

It went well to the point of regret.

After all, without a red name, it means that there are no powerful enemies to attack him, which means that there are not many big fish caught in this operation.

So when Zuo Fang came back, he was also frowning and preoccupied.

"How's the situation?"

Xu Shuo sat leisurely on the holy seat of the underground temple, and asked aloud when he saw him come back.

He glanced at the young man who was fishing with peace of mind, and then glanced around the underground temple, making sure that there was no one else here except an elf, so Zuo Fang didn't bother to earn the deductive value from Catalina.

He also sat down on the steps casually, and then said: "What is certain is that Wald XVIII was not present at the coronation ceremony from the beginning to the end, and he probably left the capital last night. And do you know... "

Zuo Fang paused when he said this.

But it was found that the young man didn't mean to ask questions at all.

He answered the words helplessly: "After the Holy See army suppressed the chaotic capital, when they liquidated the entire capital, they discovered that the total number of imperial guards and city defense troops was less than 1."

Xu Shuo squinted his eyes: "It's an empty city."

"That's right!"

He slapped his thigh with his left breath: "The bastard left us an empty city on purpose! For this reason, he even left the entire royal family of San Valo here. Now I think the rebellion last night was a deliberate obstacle set by them." , just to make us think that the Imperial Army is still in the city!"

It was precisely because there were few enemies and lack of management that the Holy See quickly occupied the entire huge royal capital in just half an hour.

The plan went smoothly and was completely different from their original plan.

Follow the previous deployment.

The Holy See army rushing out from the castle of the Royal Palace of Tandinoburg was indeed to catch the royal capital by surprise, but the most important role was to meet the Sun Knights and the Pope of Light in the city.

The existence of the Sun Knights is to try to kill Wald XVIII, and destroy the royal family of San Vallo by the way.

And there is a Holy See army dormant outside the city.

Regardless of whether the plan is successful or not, they will cooperate internally and externally to help the Sun Knights withdraw from the capital, and wait until the Silver Shield Army arrives before smashing through the entire imperial army.

The result is now...

The Holy See of Light has directly occupied the capital.

But Wald XVIII is nowhere to be found, and the king's capital is a group without royal heirs and nobles.

In the real world, they might be useful.

But here, they are useless except as cannon fodder.

Wald XVIII has even given up on his own sister who has the same special blood as him.

Of course, after he gave up Mrs. Hirsch and Geraint, Xu Shuo guessed that this Wald eighteenth may not know their true identity and origin.

Or maybe actually know.

But don't think they can help.

Because Wald XVIII doesn't need to be emotional about their existence at all, and it doesn't matter even if the world knows that he is a half-blood elf.

After all, he is the ruler of this empire.

He spent decades building his own backing.

But the world can only see the extravagance in front of the king.

……

After Zuo Fang finished saying that sentence.

Catalina on the side seemed to have realized something, and she suddenly asked in confusion: "Huh? The so-and-so rebellion last night was not led by you, the Holy See of Light?"

The voice fell.

Zuo Fang paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo said calmly: "We wanted to test their strength, and it happened that the other party also wanted to test us, so we hit it off."

Then Prince Lear died with honor.

Zuo Fang was about to say something, when there was some movement from the entrance of the underground temple, so Zuo Fang, who was still sitting on the steps, immediately stood up solemnly.

It was a sun knight who came.

Zuo put forward and took the letter from the opponent's hand.

After the Sun Knight left, Zuo Fang didn't hand over the letter to Xu Shuo, but unfolded it by himself first.

However, after reading the above information, his face suddenly became more serious.

"The two major military areas that were stationed around the capital before are also empty. Judging from the traces left behind, they should have retreated urgently last night." Zuo Fang frowned.

"It's not so easy for an army of hundreds of thousands to retreat silently overnight. The Obsidian Knights who arrived first a few nights ago also went to investigate the military area, but they didn't go deep." Xu Shuo said after hearing the words.

He didn't say so, but he said so.

Zuo Fang has also understood.

It is estimated that as early as when the Holy See Army entered the Eastern Continent, the Imperial Army had already withdrawn from the capital, and only half of the people remained to cover their eyes.

this behavior.

It's a bit like a way for the Silver Shield Legion to hurry.

A group of Silver Shield Army was sent from the city-state of Iraq to enter the Eastern Continent, in order to confuse the sight of the king's capital, so that the real Silver Shield Army could secretly sneak in from the city-state of Rhine.

Unexpectedly, now, it is discovered that both parties have used the same method to cheat.

Zuo Fang suddenly said: "Wait a minute, Walter XVIII took great pains to call you to the capital, provoked conflicts between the empire and the Holy See, and then left this empty city for you, so what is he? What do you want to do?"

While he was talking.

In fact, I was already thinking in my heart.

And just when Zuo Fang had a clue about this, the voice had already come from above.

"Delaying time."
