Four-Armed Divine Emperor

"As long as you promise not to attack their territory again and return Leon's capital, Fort Valladona, they are willing to negotiate to determine the ownership of the remaining territories you have occupied."

The red-robed monk just looked at him coldly without saying anything.

A warrior in red armor, who was leading the prayer team, walked out of the ranks.

"Franz sent his troops to Auvers-le-Vieux, secretly mobilized the nobles—and then told me he had no intention of making an enemy of us."

"You want to deceive me? You want to deceive my father?"

With a "clang", the red-armored warrior drew his sword and pointed it at the neck of the king's messenger.

"You were the first to disobey the king's order!" With a sword at his neck, the messenger argued passionately, "Son of the Sage! Everyone knows your strength! Lord Aiel annihilated Xerxes' expeditionary force in a single battle... You've cornered both the Leon and Savia families! If I hadn't brought my army, would Devengail have laid down his weapons and listened to my sincere words?"

"I swear on honor! I come for peace, not war!"

He faced the sword calmly and spoke generously

Chapter 115

The lyrics give the impression of not caring about life and death.

In response to this, Elsa raised a mocking smile under her mask.

Scolding:

"You are lying!"

The power of psychic energy shone, and the messenger was instantly imprisoned by an invisible force, his feet leaving the ground and floating in the air.

Before he could even startle, he felt an extremely powerful force, like a sword slashing at the spiritual level, piercing into his consciousness.

All the secrets, all the past, cannot escape the monitoring of this power. A person's strongest line of defense - the mind, is brutally torn apart by the power of psychic energy, like a group of bandits breaking into the house, carrying out their invasion unscrupulously.

Elsa looked through the messenger's memories and unearthed the secrets that he had deliberately hidden and tried to disguise with his superb acting skills.

Finally, she found what she wanted to see.

The scene takes place in a magnificent mountain city. In the throne room, which is tall and wide enough to accommodate giants wrestling and fighting, a majestic middle-aged man with a golden crown and a thick beard is sitting on the throne, supporting his chin with one hand and looking down at the throne.

A figure in a robe, whose face could not be seen, stood before the king.

"Master O'Connor, the actions of 'Sage Lord' in Devon Gale have undoubtedly crossed the line of the secular world of Thurso. He has violated the rules of the mortal world and recklessly used his power to disrupt order here."

King Franz's voice was like the muffled voice of a lion. Facing the noble wizard, he did not greet him with a smile like most nobles, not even the old master of Devengail. He did not even try to please him. Instead, he used a slightly higher status to talk to the wizard.

Magic power is rare in the Serso area because of the lack of magic, but it does not mean that the local kings have to bow down to the sages of the White Tower.

For example, Grace, or a normal, standard-level three-ring wizard, if there is no army to cover, and the enemy has overcome the psychological pressure of attacking a White Tower Sage and can withstand the blows of his magic without collapsing, then even if the three-ring wizard has exhausted all the magic power in his body and used up all the extraordinary materials to create the spellcasting ritual, he can probably kill a few hundred people before being surrounded by mortals and eventually either died or captured.

It is true that the magic of the borderland is an extremely rare and high-end combat force, but here, whether it is order or war, it is always dominated by mortals.

"He defeated the blue-robed lady, but according to the information provided by Xerxes, it was only a narrow victory."

"So he should also have the strength of a mid-level three-ring warrior. I can't guarantee a win... If you want absolute certainty, please ask Senior Shirelle to join me."

A wizard named O'Connor offered his advice to the king.

Franz nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and Master O'Connor bowed and left.

"You, tell the Dwengaelic people that if they can meet Lord Aiel, tell him that no matter what he wants to do, as long as he does not go beyond his current territory, I will approve it." The king changed his hand to support his chin and continued in a deep voice:

"But all the forces of Thurso, humans, orcs, elves, and those steppe barbarians... have had enough of the mage kingdom's disruption of local order. I, we, all of us, don't want to see a kingdom like that appear again."

"He should understand what I mean. If he agrees, then please invite him to come to Calvik for a chat. Master O'Connor and Master Shirrel will both be there. It would be even better if you could bring Lady Grace along."

The protagonist of this perspective, the king's representative, who was now being held captive on the platform, pondered for a moment and asked a crucial question:

"What if that Excellency insists on pursuing his 'expansion game'?"

The king grinned, and a kind of aura like a wild beast awakening suddenly burst out from him.

The majestic king walked down from his throne, walked down the stairs step by step, and finally stood in front of the messenger. He gently patted the messenger's right shoulder, which was trembling slightly.

"Back in the Mage Nation, there were a total of sixteen mages participating. The highest-ranking one was a five-ring sage, and the rest were at least two-ringed."

"The guardians are two war golems and a six-ring master."

"That Excellency, facing Xerxes' expeditionary force, had to use internal intelligence to lure the enemy deeper into the territory, and then personally engage in a frontline battle with the hostile mages."

"Perhaps he and his men could defeat a legion of ten thousand—then I would send two, three, or more armies to overwhelm his followers."

"Let's give that lord a gentle warning... His territory is already large enough for him to play his mundane games behind closed doors. Don't go any further."

"Even ants, if they are numerous enough, can overwhelm wild beasts."

......

Elsa took back her psychic power, and the messenger whose brain she roughly probed was bleeding from all seven orifices, his eyes rolled back, and his lower body was a mess, and he was not far from death.

She waved her hand and threw the messenger to the ground.

Even if he manages to survive in this state, he will be a severe idiot and incompetent for the rest of his life.

"The foolish and arrogant King wants to continue to rule over you."

She turned around and spoke to the warriors who were already kneeling on one knee, looking like a forest of statues.

"Follow my father, our sage teacher, to eliminate all delusion and bring truth and bliss to this land.

Chapter 116

———Or will you kneel before the humble king and continue to obey those ridiculous feudal contracts?" Elsa asked with a sneer.

"Holy~! Eliminate foolishness!"

"Holy~! The Most Holy and Sage Teacher!"

Elsa's response was a fervent prayer.

"Then prepare for war, for me, for you, and for our Father!" Elsa gave this order, and then the large-scale mass came to an end.

Those captured dignitaries soon met their final fate—those who performed well would receive “gifts” from their descendants and be implanted with the gene seeds of the Four Arms bloodline, while those who were weak and incompetent and could not enter the eyes of their descendants would be executed neatly, beheaded, and their bodies sent to the front line to intimidate the enemy.

"For Al!!!————Respect the Father!"

Amidst the frenzied uproar, the war began to intensify.

Chapter 90: The beginning of conflict and the beginning of expansion

Before this, there was a conflict between the Derwengale-Normans and the two Brio princes of Leon and Savia, who were adjacent to Derwengale, due to immigration issues.

The well-trained army of mountain people, who had upgraded their equipment and were blessed with faith, and the Blaeo warriors of Devon Gael (Norman), led by Caesar, easily defeated the two great nobles whose combined size was greater than that of Devon Gael in its heyday.

The two places were forced to open up a policy of unlimited immigration to Norman, and had one-fourth and one-fifth of their territories respectively taken away. Captives were also taken to Norman for labor. They had to work for at least two years under the radiation range of Ai'er's humanoid mind control tower.

When the time is up, they will no longer be eager to leave here. Even if Al sends them back, they will pack up their things and bring their families here to "join the king's army" after a while.

As the tribe expanded and Al discovered more abilities of his golden finger, he was no longer as wary of outward expansion as before. He started to clean up the border areas just to have a retreat so that he could enter the mountains at any time to protect himself and develop behind closed doors. After all, the mountain people regarded him as a god, so he would not waste any of his resources.

Even if he expanded, his first target would be the Xerxes in the east, his "good neighbor" Prince Adwin Cecil.

I wonder if during this period of time, the other party has taken some more beautiful women into the palace?

Al-Zimund was very enthusiastic about this matter, especially when he thought about going to Herat and experiencing the naked rape in front of his wife.

Moreover, if Xerxes were to march east, he could also take advantage of the feud between the remnants of Ashtar and them, and launch a "holy war eastward" to "settle the hatred" for the sake of justice.

But before he launched the eastward expansion, there were forces within Brio that were somewhat dissatisfied with this wizard who was "keen on interfering in mortal affairs and politics."

Of course, strictly speaking, it cannot be said that the other party is the one who started the trouble.

Al's governance can be described as superhumanly efficient and clear. The closer one is to him and the longer one has followed him, the more deeply he will influence them.

In this case, Al may not be able to rely solely on this influence to point at someone and "ask" him to turn around and kill his entire family, suffocate himself to death, etc.

But it is still possible to carry out large-scale, mild implantation.

Especially after he pointed out the prerequisite talent [Unity] under [Unity of Will], Al made a qualitative leap in his ability to subtly control people's hearts. Under his mind-control ability, corrupt, mediocre and evil officials became almost rare creatures within the range of Norman's radiation.

Normandy's development was advancing by leaps and bounds, and the population on the Wall Plain was growing rapidly - many of them were immigrants from other areas.

After the old patriarch passed away, Ansuna naturally took over the official rule of Devangel. As a result, the radiation range of Ai'er also included Devangel. The two neighboring Leon and Savia suffered from the pain of being continuously absorbed by their neighbors and losing immigrants, resulting in a decline in population.

Because the Normans are different from ordinary secular forces.

Sometimes, for feudal lords, too large a population may be a burden. For example, those firepower groups who were previously keen to come to Normandy and seek opportunities to make a fortune in the mountains are mostly "redundant" populations in various territories. Their presence or absence will not have much impact on the local lords. On the contrary, it can reduce the frequency of security incidents, so they are very supportive of this.

But Al was different.

For him, the size of the "ethnic group" is more important than anything else.

Those who moved to Normandy were given fields, land, and supplies—they were even given gold coins!

Productivity has increased, taxes have decreased, and the quality of life has been greatly improved. There is no need to worry about infringement by nobles and bureaucrats. All you have to do is obey the lord's occasional conscription and have more children... What a wonderful thing.

There were even lobbyists sent by Al to recruit people, who tricked the entire village into moving away overnight. Before the immigrants crossed the border, they were met and escorted by cavalry from Normandy, and were paid per person upon entry to reassure people.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Norman bribed the tax collector of Savia to deliberately raise this year's taxes. He also falsely claimed that he would conscript 80 laborers from this village of about 600 people to build a fortress for the lord for a period of two years, and they had to bring their own dry food. This scared the local villagers, so they chose to take the risk of the pie drawn by Norman's lobbyists in order to escape the strictness of their "obligations".

These situations are frequent, coupled with

Chapter 117

As a woman, Ansuna inherited the territory, and there were complaints about her "illegible position".

Although the old patriarch's death was indeed a natural death, El would not and did not want to do anything to an old man who posed no threat and had already handed over power to Ansuna (El), but in the eyes of some people, there was obviously a court conspiracy involved that was worth thinking about.

In their eyes, Ansuna was a knight who had gotten lucky enough to get close to someone powerful and entertained people with her beauty (she was indeed a beauty), while El was an "out-of-bounds wizard" who had no sense of propriety and interfered in the affairs of mortals at will.

After helping Devon Gale win a major battle, Al then turned around and supported his lover, Ansuna, to seize power. Now, he is suspected of murdering the old patriarch to seize full power...

Although the royal capital of Calvik did not recognize Ansuna's status as the successor immediately after the transfer of power after the death of the old patriarch for various reasons, Devengail had already acted on his own and disrespected the royal authority. All these factors led to the growth of dissatisfaction in Brio towards Devengail and the Normans behind him, especially in the neighboring areas.

Soon, various cavalry and scout troops began to become active on the borders between Leon, Savia and Devangel.

But at the beginning they were relatively conservative, because after all, Norman was backed by a powerful man who had defeated the Xerxes wizard.

Therefore, at the beginning, the troops of both families were active within their own borders, intercepting and patrolling those subjects who tried to migrate to Devangel. In their view, this was understandable. Not directly prohibiting migration and treating violators as crimes was already enough to give face to the neighbors.

But Al didn't think so.

For him, population is the most important resource, both producers and means of production, both laborers and labor output.

To stop his immigration, there are only:

"Open borders, free trade (migration)"

A casus belli at all.

Soon, the troops led by Ai'er's descendants were ready to go, and took the initiative to cross the border of the three places to attack and drive away the border guards of the Leon and Savia families who were protecting their own territories, and escort the immigrants back to the country. This action directly triggered a conflict, and the two places were furious about this, because the news that Ai'er was stationed in Norman was not a secret, and he had almost never been to Devangel.

So the two territories each formed a medium-sized army to attack the Devegael. Their purpose was not to capture cities, but to wage a punitive war and give a proper beating to the Devegael people who thought they could act recklessly with the support of the wizard.

As long as the scale is not too big, Ai'er should not come down to bully a group of mortals.

However, what was unexpected was that even though the two sides had nearly twice the number of troops as the opposite side, they were still beaten badly by a troop led by a golden-armored warrior in the decisive battle in the field.

The commander-in-chief was captured, and the remaining troops were chased by a large number of mountain cavalry on the way of retreat. Almost the entire army was wiped out on the border. The golden-armored warrior, Caesar, continued to lead the legion into the enemy territory.

So the two families were shocked and angry, and this time they sent out a large army to protect their territory. However, they were still defeated despite having the advantage in numbers and fighting on their own territory. Caesar swept across the country, not invading civilians, but semi-compulsory "inviting" powerful and noble families to immigrate to Devon Gael or Normandy.

Intimidated by the Norman army, the two places had no choice but to avoid fighting and ask for peace.

And this is just the beginning of the conflict.

The author says:

Author's words: PS: My mentality is about to collapse

This time I went home and it was more than 4,000 and close to 5,000. Nnd, I haven’t taken the test yet, I’m going to collapse

I will update more in the next few days to catch up with my attendance.

Chapter 91: Five Talents

After the defeat in the border war, the two places, which had ceded land and been continuously drained of blood, were unwilling to accept such humiliating terms and were slowly dying. The Normans demanded free migration between the three places and sent a large number of cavalry patrols to operate in the territories of Leon and Savia. For those civilians who intended to go to Norman, they would immediately enthronize them and allocate a sum of money for travel, and then summon patrols to help escort them eastward.

If this continues, the people in the two places will not only not all flee, but at least half of them will leave. Such a result is absolutely unacceptable to the two old princes in Blaio.

In addition, there was a king sitting on the throne of Calvik who was pushing him behind the scenes. Franz did not want to see the Derwengael-Norman controlled by the wizard become more powerful, so he secretly sponsored the two families to form an alliance again, with a mighty army of more than 10,000 people, to provoke the second three-land war.

The results were as expected.
