131. Dilemma (no protagonist)
Nils Nepton is facing the most important decision in his 170 years of life, whether to firmly follow the Black Sea lord to suppress the rebellion or turn against the enemy in the last battle to join the rebels led by the two great masters Florence and Mathilde.
How did things turn out like this? Niels's brain, which was too shocked and not very flexible, was confused. Just three minutes ago, they were still immersed in the joy of Florence, the sister of the Black Sea Lord, ascending to the fourth level.
That is undoubtedly a good thing worth celebrating by the entire Nepton family, which means that from today on the Black Sea will have a total of six fourth-level positions, becoming the well-deserved first force outside the Sea Temple, Eternal Tides and the Royal Tribe.
Once the principality is established and the Black Sea Lord becomes the Grand Duke of the Black Sea, he can throw other magic nobles and blood families in the Naga Kingdom far behind and realize the unprecedented glory of the Nepton family. In the future, he may not be able to launch an attack on the three most important forces in the Naga Kingdom.
However, the next thing development was somewhat beyond his expectations, or he never thought that such a change would happen to the Black Sea one day.
Florence and Mathilde took the opportunity to attack the Black Sea Lord while reporting this good news to the Black Sea Lord and joined forces to attack the Black Sea Lord in the Evelin Palace.
The joint rebellion between Florence and Mathilde was obviously a long-planned result. When the battle between three fourth-level mages broke out in the Evelin, a total of thirty members of the Frozen Guard, led by Gale and Salize, reacted immediately and assisted the Black Sea Lord.
——Although the fourth-level great wizard has strong combat power, he is not as afraid of siege as a legend. In fact, as long as any profession has not reached the fifth level, theoretically, he can use the next-level professional human sea tactics to waste his life and death.
The Black Sea Knights quickly surrounded the Evelin. Although they might not be able to get involved in the fourth-level battle, the problem lies with the mage army. After three minutes, they did not react at all.
"Sister, this is probably the last time I call you that in my life. If you are waiting for the support of the Mage Legion and the Black Sea Fearless Battleship, I advise you to pinch this idea-"
"Is it because the family wizard who is dissatisfied with my rule has gone to restrain him or is it that one of the two leaders has been bribed by you?"
Above the magnificent Evelin, three four-armed Nagas are separated in triangles, which are Sandra, the lord of the Black Sea, and Florence and Mathilde who launched the rebellion.
In Niels' eyes, the Black Sea Lord was as proud and confident as usual, and every strand of hair was in the place they should have been, without a trace of panic, as if the two great wizards who were in the same rank as her were just besieging her, but insignificant thieves.
But Florence had a sweet smile on his face brighter than ever before. He still looked smiling in the face of the questioning of the Lord of the Black Sea: "Everyone, Amy is a smart mage, knows how to choose and understand who is more suitable to sit in the Lord of the Black Sea."
Amy, a high-level mage, a leader of the Black Sea Mage Legion, her turnaround cannot affect the entire mage Legion, but it is unbelievable to say that no mage follows her and rebel against Niels.
And this is enough to delay the mage army for a while.
As for the family, it was not until this moment that Niels discovered the abnormality. The ones who had just been temporarily summoned by Florence in the name of celebration were all supporters who were usually loyal to the Black Sea lords, totaling eighteen.
In other words, because of the departure of their key combat powers, those who stayed in the family territory were either rebels who had turned to Florence and the other, or were neutral factions who didn't care much about who was the Black Sea Lord.
It is obvious that the family territory is now probably in a state of confrontation due to the sudden rebellion, and even the rebellion side has the upper hand.
"Sandra, until now, you are still the lord of the Black Sea and the patriarch of the Nepton family. Although the three of us are hostile to future plans because of our power, one thing is absolutely consistent. Any war damage in the Black Sea is a huge loss to us."
The elegant elder Mathilde pointed his wand at the thirty members of the Ice Sea Knights, and said: "The Ice Sea Guard, the Mage Legion, the Black Sea Knights, and the family mages. This is the reason why the Black Sea is the Black Sea and the Nepton family is Nepton. Any blood or sacrifice of theirs is meaningless today, and it damages the overall strength of the Black Sea."
"I agree with this, so what?" Sandra responded indifferently.
"So, why not let the battle between the three of us become the only battlefield, and write a suitable ending for today's incident, under the witness of everyone."
"Interesting!" Niels saw the Black Sea Lord showing his first smile after the battle began. It was not obvious or with a hint of warmth, but it was mixed with mockery, "You want me to give up my advantage as a lord and a patriarch to decide my future belonging with a battle?"
"A disappointing choice as I thought," Mathilde sighed. "That was the most likely way you are to go to the Coral Sea today in a decent way, but because of your pride and arrogance, you rejected it - come out, Waterspeaker, my ally!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge vortex formed outside the Evelin Palace, and a breath that made Niels feel very bad came from the middle. It was a power belonging to the fourth level!
Florence and Mathilde have other helpers in restraining the family mages and mage legion!
The vortex dissipated, and a giant appeared in place, which was a deep-sea beast, a death octopus.
Its huge body is hideous and ugly. It looks like a skeleton from a distance. Each tentacle is thicker than Niels' tail, and is at least 35 feet long.
A male four-armed Naga sat on the head of the Death Octopus. Obviously, he was an ally in Mathilde's mouth, the Waterspeaker, and a fourth-level great wizard who regarded the Death Octopus as a magic pet!
"It is worthy of being the Black Sea. Just the members of the Ice Guard are thirty high-level bloodlines!" The Waterspeaker rode on the death octopus and swam towards the Evelin Palace.
At the same time, Florence was reflected in the shadows at the bottom of the sea, and suddenly a ball of things emerged, turning into a male four-armed Naga holding a dagger.
Shadow Jump, this is a master of assassin!
Three and fourth-level!
Niels felt a little strange. The lord Leonhard and the eldest princess went to the Dead Sea together and could not return to support immediately. The other two fourth-level masters of the Cristal and Frederick family were far away from Hasimma, and maybe they were also restrained by Florence and Mathilde at this time.
Five-on-one, even if the Frozen Guard and their family elders helped - they could probably restrain three - the Black Sea Lord himself was immersed in the Great Master's rank for many years, but his situation still inevitably slipped away from the direction that Niels was most worried about. This was the fundamental reason why the war between heaven and man in his heart was at this time.
It is a universal psychology to protect yourself, and Florence is also aware of this.
I saw the four-armed Naga persuaded the elders of the family and members of the Frozen Guard who were loyal to Sandra: "The situation is very obvious, and your resistance is in vain. I now give you a chance to surrender, bring your weapons to my camp. Or, return to the goddess's arms with Sandra."
"Your future is up to you, but I hope you can really consider it carefully before making a decision. After all, it is not just about the glory or loyalty of being a warrior or family elder, but also your beloved husbands and children."
Nils finally realized why the elders of the family who were temporarily summoned here were loyal to Sandra. First, they weakened the power belonging to Sandra in the family territory to facilitate the rebels to restrain them. Second, they had to use the huge gap in strength and extremely unfavorable situation to pull the power belonging to Sandra to Florence's side in front of the Black Sea Lord.
However, obviously, Florence underestimated the loyalty of members of the Ice Guard, the elders of the family and the Black Sea Knights to Sandra, and overestimated her appeal. In the face of temptation and persuasion, no one expressed any evidence.
"I get it, it seems that I need to release another very important news to help you make the right decision." Florence continued without any discouragement. "Count the time, my lovely nephew Talos should follow Chast out of the Magic Manor."
Florence also kidnapped the Black Sea Lord's favorite son!
This is definitely not good news for Niels. He dared not say that the Black Sea Lord would accept Florence's persecution, but his mentality at the critical moment of the decisive battle will definitely be affected, which can be felt from the gloomy face of the Black Sea Lord.
"You are challenging my bottom line, Florence! If there is a little accident in Taal, it's hard for me to guarantee whether I will ignore the fact that you were my sister and throw you into the swimming fish!"
The swimming fish in Sandra's mouth is not a swimming fish in the sea, but a special marine monster with only the size of an adult's palm, called the red-bellied pompeoensis.
The so-called swimming fish means removing all the force of a Naga and throwing it into a container, filled with red-bellied pompeople who had been hungry for a long time.
There are not many surprises in the following scenes. Naga will be gnawed to death by a group of crazy-starved monsters in a short time, and in the end there is only a skeleton left, which is the cruel punishment of the Naga Kingdom second only to the petrification of the snake-haired banshee and the addicted kiss.
"Your bottom line? Hum--"
Florence wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mathilde: "Okay, Flor, we have wasted nearly three minutes. Letting friends wait for it is not what any qualified master should do."
Niels' heart twitched violently, what does Mathilde mean? Friends, do they have other helpers?
The next second, Niels understood.
Three vortexes appeared at the same time outside the Evelin Palace. The vortex dispersed, and three four-armed Nagas appeared, two women and one man, two great knights, and one blood magician!
Three fourth-level professionals!
