"This time, people from the Songxing Secret Cult suddenly intervened. Although it seems to be an independent act by the other party, we all understand that this incident must be closely related to the secret push of the marquis."
Looking at the Duke whose expression was changing, Anvis finally spoke his mind.
"So, since the Marquises can invite the Aberrant Gods to intervene, why can't we also bring in the Circle of Truth?"
"...You should understand, Anvis, the organizational interests of the Circle of Truth have an irreconcilable fundamental conflict with us, the nobles who rule the empire, and are destined to be on our hostile side in the future."
After a long silence, Duke Carlot finally spoke.
He knew the identity of Anvis as the "Man in the Mirror". When he was in the Federation, Anvis also asked him to secretly help him capture the capital of the Rockhelm Kingdom.
But he didn't expect that Anvis would dare to play so big, and even join the Circle of Truth himself!
"Besides, even I can't see through the strength of the mysterious leader of the Circle of Truth. If your identity is accidentally exposed, you will be in great danger!"
"You are right, Father, but just like us, the Marquises are also enemies of the Circle of Truth. And there was a saying among the people of the Empire: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.'
Even if we are destined to become enemies in the future, until then, we can still have limited cooperation with them. Use them as a knife to strike against our enemies. "
Faced with the Duke's advice, Anvis remained unmoved and instead explained to the Duke the benefits of doing so.
"Do you remember the information I conveyed to you before? There was a time when a pagan who claimed to be the ambassador of the Imperial Marquis went to some remote border cities in the Federation and secretly met with members of the major forces in the Federation.
They offered a very high price to attract federal forces to secretly enter the empire to cause unrest, and people in the Circle of Truth also heard about this. "
“However, according to my investigation, the Singing Star Secret Cult and the Circle of Truth are also in hostile camps, and the reason seems to involve the grudges between the external entities behind the two.
So, upon hearing the news, the leader of the Circle of Truth made a plan.
When the Marquis's plan is launched, the main force of the Songxing Secret Cult will inevitably be involved in the Olivendi family, which will lead to the appearance of a lone person on the Marquis' side.
At that time, the leader prepared to plan an operation to attack the marquis. The reason why I came to see you this time is actually because I applied to the chief to be responsible for discussing cooperation with the Olivendi family. "
As he said that, Anvis looked at the Duke with his blue eyes and showed a wicked smile.
"If you don't mind, I am willing to act as the representative of the Olivendi family and negotiate with the representatives sent by the Circle of Truth!"
"...?!"
The corner of his mouth twitched, Carrot looked at Anvis, and instinctively rubbed his cufflinks with his fingers, not knowing what to say.
"The demands made by the leaders of the Circle of Truth are simple. They hope that when they meet on the battlefield and attack the Marquises, our people can temporarily join forces with them."
After Xiaoxiao and the Duke made a joke, Anvis looked serious again.
"I think the advantages of cooperating with the Circle of Truth on this matter outweigh the disadvantages. We can definitely use their power to set up traps and try to directly reduce the number of the Empire's Ninth Marquis."
"...It doesn't sound bad, but this matter is not something that I, the Olivendi family, can decide. I need to discuss it with the Alfred family in advance before I can give an answer."
After pondering for a long time, the Duke nodded, agreeing with Avis's proposal.
However, the experiment related to Fiona is after all a joint project between the two families. He needs to obtain the consent of the head of the Alfred family first, but it must not be too difficult.
With the current situation, regardless of whether the Circle of Truth intervenes or not, the situation of the two families will not get worse. If you refuse rashly, it may push the other party into the hostile camp immediately, which is meaningless.
.….….
In the year 2464 of the glorious calendar, it is night on the seventh day of the Blazing Sun month.
Herring Gull City still looks calm on the outside, but in fact layers of protection have been put in place.
With the Lord's Mansion as the center, the entire Herring Gull City was shrouded in a huge invisible magic circle.
The protective array is personally arranged and controlled by the ninth level extreme guardian. Even if the ninth level comes to attack, it must be weighed and weighed.
Fiona sat worriedly in her room and waited. The two little ones crowded next to the girl and allowed her to hold them gently. They were also worried about the girl's nervousness.
She has been told that tomorrow, there will be news that apostles from the Singing Star Secret Cult will attack.
Although there are no more details, the girl can easily guess that the enemy who can make the family specially notify her is probably at least a ninth-level existence.
"There is no need to worry too much, Lord. Even if the enemy is strong, with the protection of the great Olivendi family, you will be able to survive this crisis safely."
Anvis still played the role of a qualified lieutenant, comforting the girl in a calm tone.
Previously, as the time approached, Fiona's insecurity became stronger and stronger, so the girl specially summoned Anvis, hoping to get some comfort from him.
"...Lord Boli, do you know anything about the Songxing Secret Cult?"
The hands holding kitten Kate and dragon Feia unconsciously tightened a little tighter, and Fiona spoke softly.
"Singing Star Secret Cult is an ancient continent-level cult of gods. According to rumors, it has split into other cult groups such as [Moon Summoning Secret Cult] and [Revelation Secret Cult].
But in the past, their reputation was not actually prominent. They only held some weird rituals in private and secretly, let alone taking out three ninth-level powerhouses at once.
So I personally guess that there should be some moisture in the so-called apostles of Songxing Secret Cult compared to normal ninth-level powerhouses. "
Looking at the girl who was forcibly making a calm gesture, Anvis could only try his best to explain the relationship behind it to her. As for how to regulate her emotions, it could only be solved by the girl herself.
As the lord of the Star Lord and the legendary prophecy star, this is the pressure she must bear.
In fact, many ninth-level people were very surprised by the sudden rise of the Songxing Secret Cult, an ancient sect.
In this regard, the Duke privately suspected that the previous incident of the Lord of Dreams' arrival might have had some unknown and far-reaching impact on the mainland, which resulted in the other party gaining some benefits.
While the Star Leader was preparing intensively, the ninth-level priests of the royal family were actually paying close attention to this incident.
Logically speaking, for the Songxing Secret Cult to attack the territory of the Duke's descendants, the royal family should take a heavy blow to let them understand who the owner of this land is.
But now the situation is special. Gloria III is in seclusion and ignores government affairs.
So the question is, who should the ninth-level royal family listen to now? Who will stand up and make a decision on behalf of the royal family?
The status of the Ninth Order is transcendent, and the many Ninth Orders in the imperial family are only nominally loyal to the Emperor himself. Under normal circumstances, the status of each other is equal, and there will be no situation of who represents whom.
Maybe some princes and princesses are quite willing to accept this arduous task, but this involves another problem. Gloria III is just 'seriously injured' and is in seclusion, and has not yet gone to see the gods.
When Gloria III did not specifically designate a descendant to temporarily manage the government, even if they forcibly issued an order, the ninth-level servants of the royal family could choose to ignore it.
In this case, there is a lot of room for maneuver in dealing with the attack of the Songxing Secret Cult.
Of course, we have to take care of it. This incident must end with the members of the Songxing Secret Cult being expelled from the empire.
But they will arrive later. If the people of the two major families deal with the incoming enemies on their own, then the problem will naturally be solved.
However, if the enemy has some unknown trump card that causes the two families to accidentally let Fiona be taken away, then they can only express regret and try their best to help the two families find Fiona's whereabouts.
