一群脸上印着黑色刺青，穿着皮草斗篷的凯尔特战士簇拥成一团，不断鼓动着国王的情绪，咆哮声几乎掀翻了宫殿的屋顶。
“安静！”
帷幕内，国王猛地拍击了一下宝座扶手，发出滚雷般的咆哮声：
“你们说，想尽办法要渗透进南方，我答应了。你们说，要将那群试图在南方扎根的罗赛维亚人赶走，我也答应了。然后，你们又说，要救回那些面临绞刑的同族，我还是答应了。然后呢？我们失去了二十多名高级战士，失去了哈登主教，还失去了继续渗透南方的大好机会！”
“……”
被加里国王这么一番怒斥，先前还气势汹汹叫嚣战争的战士们不说话了，一个个耷拉着脑袋，就像一只只被阉掉的公牛。
“现在，你们又叫嚣着和罗赛维亚开战？忘了我们是怎么来到这片大陆的吗？你们是想毁了这个国家吗？”
白发苍苍的国王越说越激动，一下子从宝座上站了起来，掀开两侧的帷幕。直接踏着鲜红的地毯走到众人面前：
“有没有人能告诉我。如何收拾现如今的局面。”
老人洪亮的声音在四壁之间回荡。凯尔特战士窝囊的缩着脑袋，贵族们面面相觑，许久之后，大王子肯尼斯突然站了出来：
“我觉得没有必要，罗赛维亚人并不会因为我们的讨好谄媚就会慷慨增土，也不会因为这种鸡毛蒜皮的小手大动干戈。”
他穿着一身黑色长衣，双手负在身后，淡金色短发梳成了油亮的大背头。说话的时候鼻音很重，带着一股自负傲慢的腔调。
这位未来储君刚一发话，凯尔特教区的红衣主教尤瑟夫便附和着抬起头：
“是的，我们现在是自由联盟的一员，罗赛维亚正是改革的关键时机，刚刚又经历了一场惨烈的战争，面对东西两线的挤压已经用尽了精力，根本拿我们没办法。”
“肯尼斯殿下说的对！我们身后有整个自由联邦的支持，根本不用怕那些狡猾的罗赛维亚人。”凯尔特战士们瞬间又精神了起来。
“他们的确不会因为这点冲突举兵北进，但是你们可别忘了。那个庞然大物哪怕就是抽出一丝精力，也能让整个高地王国永无宁日。”
发话者有着一头淡金色蜷曲的长发。其中一缕还荡在额前，令他英俊的脸庞看上去充满了玩世不恭，如果不是一身精美的战士斗篷，恐怕大部分人都会将他当作是舞会上的花花公子。
事实上，这个男人是王国第二序位的继承人，华莱士。范农王子，和行事严谨的肯尼斯王子不同，他平时的爱好就是勾搭女人，从未参与过什么正事。
“让我猜一猜他们能做什么？”
轻佻的王子掂了掂脚尖，不顾听众越来越难看的脸色，继续自顾自地说：
“对了，未来的某一天，哈德良长城突然出现破碎的缺口。大量魔怪蜂拥入凯尔特北部，如同蝗虫过境一般摧毁所过之处的一切，高地王国损失惨重。”
“这样的猜测太荒谬了！”
一名衣着华丽的大贵族终于忍耐不住了，由于对方是个注定与王权无缘的王子，所以他说话间也丝毫没有顾忌：
“我们完全有能力将魔怪抵挡在第一线！”
“这么说你是承认他们完全有能力做到这种事，对不对？”华莱士王对方耸了耸肩膀，声音中的讽刺更甚：
“再让我们大胆猜测一下……”
“够了！”
加里国王没有让他继续说下去，冷着脸望向红衣主教：
“吸引罗赛维亚人的注意力，使他们分散力量布置到北部防线，我们已经做到了一半，希望教宗陛下不会抛弃他的忠实信徒。”
“当然，国王陛下您做的很好。”红衣主教欣然点头。
“那么我需要教宗陛下兑现他的承诺，正如我儿所说，没有足够的援助，我们无法抵御罗赛维亚反扑的阴谋。”
“第一批援助很快就会抵达，请你尽管放心。”约瑟夫主教微微一笑，抚胸鞠了个躬：“教宗和法王两位陛下都不会放任罗赛维亚人毁灭高地王国，这里将是冷战的前线。”
“请恕我冒昧。”
一个不适时宜的声音再次出现在大厅中，华莱士王子学着红衣主教的姿势，夸张的鞠了一躬，恭敬地说道：
“各位知道为什么会有长城这种东西吗？”
“当然是那些懦弱的罗赛维亚人畏惧我们！”凯尔特战士们闹哄哄的抢先答道。
“那为什么他们弱着弱着就变成了中央帝国，而我们强着强着就被一直从小亚细亚赶到了凯尔特岛？对了，你们将这里称作大陆，好吧，我们为什么会被赶到凯尔特大陆？”王子摊开双手，满脸渴求的问道。
这一席话下来，整个大厅的气氛在瞬间停滞，人们的脸色顿时阴沉下去，尤其是肯尼斯和约瑟夫二人，他们的表情已经能聚起一片乌云了。
“够了够了，华莱士，你给我立刻从这里消失。”老国王以愤怒的咆哮打破了沉默，右手直指门庭，示意对方赶紧滚。
“他们建造长城不是为了防御，而是阻挡我们的退路，分割和侵蚀我们的土地，将我们残留的力量闷杀在长城之内！”
华莱士王子走到大厅中心，厉声继续说着：
“数百年之前，我们退出了中庭之地，连凯尔特岛都失去了一半，看着那绵延的长城，却笑着敌人的懦弱。数百年之后，你们居然还是分不清楚攻守之势，甘愿充当自由联盟的马前卒！这高地王国，我看是迟早要完！”
“卫兵！把这个疯子拖出去！”
加里国王气的浑身颤抖，摘下头顶的王冠，重重的砸在了对方脑壳上。（未完待续。。）
第七十章 便宜行事
格拉摩根——伯爵府。
尖锐的汽笛声中吗，一辆长达四十码的飞艇从空中缓缓落下，伴随着螺旋桨喧嚣的旋转声，飞艇降落在了宽敞的庭院内，一阵阵强劲的气流使得草木纷纷匍匐在地。
砰——咔——！
飞艇中部的舱门霍然侧弹打开，落下一架登高梯，走出一名相貌英俊的青年骑士，他有一头紫色的短发，穿着一身骑士军服，袖章的军衔已经是校级。
“欢迎你，奥瑞德少校。”亚雷、夏琳、布鲁诺、妮可四人站在飞艇右侧，面朝着登高梯迎了过去。

第七十一章 魔怪总督
深夜，伯爵府依然灯火通明，幽灵女仆们蜷缩在角落里窃窃私语，一只只巡逻的南瓜灯在花圃庭院中时隐时现，半空中回荡着石像鬼振翅翱翔的轻响。
半圆弧的白阳台上，亚雷一身深蓝色的骑士军服，双手撑着护栏，短发被夜风吹的微微后扬。
这是一个没有星月的夜晚，黑暗中的天空和大地再也不分彼此，他的身影也仿佛在此刻融入了黑暗。
“普利特以后会住在二楼，可以方便你和他的交流。”伴随着青羊悦耳的声音，夏琳推开阳台的滑门，走到了护栏边。
“谢谢你，夏琳。”他扭过头，出神的看着绿发少女。
“你是在担心高地王国的事情吗？”她将双手交叠平放在护栏上，仰起俏脸看了一眼漆黑的夜空。
“算是吧。”亚雷注视着随风轻舞的绿色秀发，缓缓的说道：“我在考虑如何整合整个南部凯尔特的力量，组成军队去讨伐高地王国。”
“不是吧……”夏琳惊讶的偏头看着他：“皇帝陛下只是要你将高地王国压力隔�
