Chapter 676 100
A giant dragon with a body length of more than 30 meters descended on the roof of the parliament, killing nearly 200 sheriffs with its fiery dragon breath. Google search reads that this behavior has not occurred for the first time in the 500 years since the founding of the Byzantine Kingdom.
Especially just a few days ago, half of the wall of the Colosseum was blown away in a fight, and the subsequent battle destroyed an entire city.
One after another, violent incidents were linked to the superhero "God Killer" Loki in the eyes of the Romans. After just one night, the whole city was telling the story of Loki riding a fire dragon to the holy city.
The casino owner who did not want to get up early smelled the smell of a large amount of gold and silver.
If Loki's proposal happened, it would be recorded in history, and the King of Paris would fight the leader of the Illuminati in front of all Roman citizens!
This kind of grand occasion in the past thousand years, I am afraid, can only be compared to the moment when the Roman Emperor Commodus jumped into the duel.
Fitzroy, the Lord of Twilight, and Myra, the Lord of Shadow, came to the spire where Betugu was hiding. Inside the spire, there was also Prince Dolanter, a staunch ally of the Illuminati, and a dozen lizardmen spies wearing human skin.
They gathered around Betugu and were having an unprecedented secret meeting.
All of this was of course due to the sudden attack on the parliament yesterday. Loki did not lead the army to attack as Betugu's illusion did, but used a response method that was beyond everyone's imagination.
Everyone was hesitant, only Betugu remained firmly in place, as if everything was under control.
Everyone present simultaneously focused their eyes on a Roman woman in exquisite palace clothes in the center of the crowd.
"Loki has made his request clear."
Three days later, Betugu, the Lord of Disaster, Fitzroy, the Lord of Twilight, and Myra, the Lord of Shadow. The three of you entered the remaining ruins of the Colosseum.
Loki asks the three of you to take off your human skin, show your lizardman scales, and fight him in your original lizardman form.
In the obsidian pyramid inside Leviathan, he has seen the most original appearance of each of you. So don't try to get away with it by using tricks.
You will have a three-on-three battle in the ruins of the Colosseum!
Both sides will fight to the death until only one person survives.
If Loki wins, you need to release all his subordinates unconditionally.
If the Illuminati wins, he will return the Xuanyuan Sword, live forever in Scandinavia, and never set foot on the West again.
The person in charge of the communication is a beautiful Roman maid. After conveying all the information she knew in a fairly standard Latin, there was a brief silence in the spire.
The Illuminati has long adopted a relatively loose management method. On weekdays, the leader, deacon, and peripheral members each carry out their own tasks, and they can rely on their own judgment to arrange the next plan if any problems arise.
But when something big happened, they gathered together and finally set their sights on Betugu, the "Lord of Disaster."
"Is the Xuanyuan Sword still on Loki?"
"Yes, sir." The maid bowed and replied, "He lives with Mikhail III now, and the stone sword is always on his back. As long as someone approaches, he will immediately kill the Byzantine king and crush the stone sword at the same time."
"Can he do it?" Betugu asked with his eyes raised.
"I can feel the cold murderous intent he exudes.
This is a person who does not have much attachment to the world.
I believe he can do it!" The maid replied calmly.
The room fell into silence again.
"What a strong enemy"
The first to break the deadlock was still the Lord of Twilight Fitzro. After the Lord of Twilight Sardin and all the secret agents in the northern continent were cleared out, Fitzro was now a veritable lonely man.
In order to continue to maintain his position as the lord, he must obtain the support of Betugu.
Born as a businessman, Fitzro is very good at guessing people's hearts. Betugu's series of performances have made him roughly understand what the great leader is thinking.
More than a dozen rounds of civilization changes have made Fitzro understand a simple truth. Compared with the planet with eternal years, all living beings are short-term passers-by living here.
Compared with other foreign gods who have ruled this planet, humans are nothing special.
After more than a dozen rounds of repetition, Fitzro is almost certain that humans will also disappear with giants and ancient dragons in the future.
Leviathan died, but the lizardmen will definitely find a new ark to continue to survive.
Living in the ark, it is inevitable to need the Xuanyuan Sword that can regulate the climate, nourish the land and plants, and all living beings.
No matter from which aspect, this stone sword is an indispensable treasure for the lizardmen to continue to survive.
Betugu will definitely try every means to recapture it.
Slowly turning his sight, Fitzro finally fixed his eyes on a holy bishop monk in a plain white robe.
He stood in the shadow of the spire candlelight, and his behavior was extremely low-key. But no one in the room dared to underestimate his existence.
He is the third leader of the Illuminati in Constantinople, besides Betugu, the Lord of Disaster, and Fitzro, the Lord of Twilight.
If we trace back the history, it is not difficult to find that Betugu and Fitzro are both latecomers. Among all the members of the Illuminati, he is the one with the strongest power in this city.
His name is Myra, the Lord of Shadows.
After wearing human skin, he has a more resounding name to the outside world.
Grand Commander of the Crusaders——Griffith Skylight.
Next Chapter
In the Illuminati, "Lord of Shadows" Myra is not a high-profile person.
For a long time, this lizardman with dark green scales has been low-key in carrying out the tasks assigned to him by the Patriarch, and has almost never interacted with other Patriarchs.
The powerful subordinates and ancient relics pursued by other Patriarchs are all passing clouds in Myra's eyes. All he did was to fulfill his duties conscientiously, integrate into the identity of humans, and interact with these creatures from a human perspective.
His behavior has many similarities with "King of Earthsea" Mutu.
The only difference is that he is easier to control.
Only this kind of person is suitable for entering the Holy Lord Church.
The biggest difference between the Patriarch-level lizardmen and other similar people is that they can skillfully use the spiritual energy running in their bodies. Myra was originally proficient in shadow magic.
Rooted in the Holy Lord Church for 700 years, he fought side by side with mortal monks to study and perfect the holy light magic together.
By now, he has become one of the 13 cardinals around the Pope, in charge of 20,000 holy cavalry.
Fitzroy looked at him with a clear intention.
He never intended to "follow the rules".
He wanted to get the Xuanyuan Sword, and at the same time, the scourge of Loki must be eradicated. The deaths of Mutu, the King of Earthsea, and Sardin, the Lord of Dusk, were all related to him. Now he is so arrogant that he wants to kill three Illuminati leaders at once.
Such dangerous people must not be kept.
Compared with Loki, Fitzroy is more worried about the attitude shown by the Byzantine King "Mikhail III" at this time.
The Byzantine Empire can hide three leaders at the same time, and there are strong men of the level of "Lord of Disaster" Betugu sitting in it. There is no doubt that they can safely start a war in this trading city.
Because the Mikhail family can successfully sit on the throne of the emperor, the gold and silver provided by the Illuminati have made a huge push behind the scenes.
For many years, all members of the Illuminati have been carrying out their respective tasks in the Byzantine Kingdom in a semi-public manner. In many provinces, they can even get assistance from sheriffs and border guards.
It is even an open secret in the imperial city that Prince Dolanter joined the Illuminati and became one of the outer members of the gang.
In this case, Mikhail III and the Illuminati are almost firmly symbiotic. No matter what happens, he should spare no effort to maintain the status of the Illuminati in this city.
However, this time when the Crusaders lifted the siege under the order of Fitzroy and Loki controlled the king. The Byzantine king, who should have actively communicated with the Illuminati, unexpectedly cooperated.
It has been a whole day since Loki left the parliament, and there has been no movement in the palace.
All the guards retreated 200 meters, and boldly allowed Loki and Mikhail III to coexist.
This is a very dangerous signal.
When taming wild wolves, wolf riders must ensure that they are in a closed state throughout the process. Once a wolf pack passes by during the taming process, all the preliminary work will be immediately burned.
Loki's sudden arrival is a very dangerous signal, and his proposal in the parliament is a powerful spark.
In the eyes of Mikhail III, he is, after all, a top strong man who once killed the leader of the Illuminati.
And he is not fighting alone, and he has gathered a group of powerful subordinates around him. Bakambusi, Alfred, Sartre, Jerome, Microa, all of Loki's subordinates also have their own legends.
None of them is a character that can be easily defeated.
It is conceivable that when this person opened his mouth to propose "fighting with the Illuminati", the Byzantine royal family, which is controlled by the consortium, also sensed the taste of opportunity.
Taking money from people and eliminating disasters for them is regarded as natural in the Byzantine Kingdom, which advocates trade. With the title of emperor, but with another father, from the perspective of Mikhail III, this is not a pleasant thing.
The happiest thing in the world is that the debtor dies suddenly, all his debts are cleared, and his fate is in his own hands from then on.
Loki's arrival made Mikhail III and all the councilors around him see this possibility.
This is a very dangerous thing for the Illuminati.
The 12 masters rely on each other to survive for 200 million years. There is no need for too much communication. Simply through eyes and a few words, the masters can immediately understand each other's meaning.
Myra, the "Lord of Shadows" who was silent throughout the whole process, walked out of the shadows.
He knew Fitzroy's worries, but at the same time, he couldn't help but admire Loki's grasp of timing.
20 days, this is a very exquisite time.
He does have the strength to command the Crusader Cavalry, but the Crusader is spread all over the human territory. Most of them were stationed in remote areas, fighting against ancient monsters and powerful outer gods.
The Grand Commander of the Crusaders, Griffith Skylight, did have 20,000 cavalrymen under his command, but it was impossible for them to return within 20 days. Not to mention that the Pope and the King of Byzantium had written a secret agreement, prohibiting troops with more than a thousand people from approaching the royal city.
Myra calculated with her fingers.
Even if he had to break up with the king, he could only mobilize 3,000 cavalrymen to return to the royal city within 20 days. This number was enough to fight against ordinary small forces, but if he wanted to fight against Loki's troops,
Myra raised her head and looked at Betugu, the Lord of Disaster.
Betugu must know his concerns.
The final decision is still in the hands of this leader.
**
"We must fight."
After a long period of silence and thinking, Betugu opened his eyes and looked at all his subordinates in front of him.
20 days is a very delicate time. During this time, the Vikings can take a long ship across the Mediterranean.
Putting a treasure of the level of Xuanyuan Sword on the table,
No one will really follow the rules like a fool.
It is almost foreseeable that on that day, there will be a dark cloud blocking the sky. The group of powerful muscular men around Loki will definitely follow him into the arena.
Picking up an axe and fighting at any time is a daily routine for Viking pirates, but for the Illuminati members who are hastily fighting. This fight must be a huge disadvantage.
As a think tank with a lifespan of 200 million years, Betugu has deeply understood a simple truth through countless successes and failures - never be led by your enemies.
As the real behind-the-scenes ruler of the Western Continent, he has never felt so powerless as he does today.
(If I want to break the impasse, I must figure out how I have come to this point step by step
The first snowflake that fell from the top of the mountain before the avalanche came was due to the sudden fall of Sardin, the "Lord of Dusk".
Sardin died in battle, and the "Temple of Anubis" that Fitzroy had painstakingly built in the center of the Black Desert of the Northern Continent was destroyed by Loki.
The flesh stored in it by the Byzantine senators, as well as their dream of continuing life and immortality, were completely shattered.
The sudden occurrence of this incident brought an unprecedented crisis of trust to the Illuminati.
The white-haired Roman senators stood in the parliament in a gentle manner, but in fact, under that civilized skin, all they hid was their desire for everything in the world.
Loki's descent from the sky was like a basin of cold water falling into boiling hot oil, He successfully gathered the long-buried desire of all Roman senators to resist.
In this case, avoiding war is no longer an option.
(It's good this way)
"In the seemingly dangerous trap, the other side also hides a huge flaw. If you deal with it well, it may become an opportunity.
My dear friends, don't expect to get help from those Romans.
When there is no wind and waves, they covet the gold and silver in our pockets. When the real danger comes, it's good that they don't stab us in the back.
After losing the Temple of Anubis, we no longer have much control over the senators. Putting them in the city may have the opposite effect.
In this battle, we can't rely on others.
We can only rely on ourselves.
