Lord of War

  After the invasion of the demon **** known as the "Devil's Disaster of the King's City" ended, Ingus Lane immediately hired workers to repair the Kingdom's Seventh Avenue. This avenue has always been nicknamed the Noble Street. The reason is that almost all the nobles in the royal capital are rooted here. Therefore, when His Majesty King Ingus wants to repair this extremely badly damaged avenue, these nobles are also ruthless. It's a force.

  Of course, according to the Marquis of Floris, His Majesty the King must have extorted them severely. However, in return, His Majesty the King also acquiesced in the renovations made by these nobles when renovating their houses. It is said that many nobles decorated their houses more brilliantly than the palace. This behavior was originally forbidden. But for the sake of having a large sum of money blackmailed by His Majesty the King, the wise king turned one eye and closed another.

  Just as Elizabeth knocked on the door of Shaun’s room, a carriage was sprinting along Kingdom Seventh Avenue, but it stopped when it was halfway up the road.

  A huge iron gate with a width of five meters is right on the side of the stopped carriage.

  In the center of the iron gate is a silver disc, on which is embossed a thorn entwined with dead wood. The thorns and dead wood are surrounded by green eyes, which looks like a piece of grass.

  This is the family crest of the Aite family: thorngrass.

  The family crest used by the first patriarch of the Aite family is a green field, which means the tenacity and indelibleness of the family. However, when this family took over as the third patriarch, it was an act of jealousy that brought the family annihilation, so that the Aite family was almost wiped out as a result, and then experienced the fourth and fifth patriarchs’ After working hard, the Aite family truly entered the circle of the royal nobles, but at that time the Kingdom of Lane had been downgraded to a principality.

  But the Aite family did have an indelible outstanding contribution in the Great Patriotic War, so the King Ryan at that time allowed the Aite family to add a thorn to his family crest as a glory. It's just because of the consideration of the defeated country. Naturally, this thorn cannot be added blatantly-in fact, after the Kingdom of Lane was downgraded to a principality, all the nobles with the glory of thorns in the country must take off this thorn, which symbolizes the glory of guarding.

  Only the Aite family, in order to let the people remember this glory and shame forever, he redesigned the family crest. And because of this, there is the pattern now: thorngrass. Its purpose is to make the people remember forever. The Aite family is a glorious family that will never give up. However, there are not many young people who can still remember this ancestral training in the Aite family.

  Michael is obviously one of them.

  But it is obvious that the marquis of strength, who has repeatedly passed the title of duke, obviously used this gritty tenacity in the wrong place.

  The slightly dilapidated carriage door was quickly opened, and a middle-aged man who looked a little hurried and embarrassed was jumping out of the carriage. The main entrance of Thornweed Mansion had not been opened, but the side entrance had been opened. A heavily armed knight was standing by the side door. The middle-aged man quickly trot towards the side door. After it passed, the knight closed the side door at the same speed and led the way forward.

  The knight who led the way did not choose to take the main road, but moved on some trails in the mansion. I don't know if he is very familiar with the entire mansion, or because of other reasons, they did not encounter any servants along the way.

"That's it." The knight leading the way brought the middle-aged man to a dilapidated building that seemed to be a warehouse or something, and said with an urn, "The Lord Marquis is waiting for you inside. Because of the duty. , It is not convenient for me to enter. Please forgive me, my lord."

   "I see." The middle-aged man who seemed to be embarrassed slightly nodded his head slightly, which was regarded as a return to the knight, and then he stepped into the house.

The light in the house is not dim, on the contrary it can even be said to be bright-although all the windows of the house are sealed, there are dozens of magic lamps in the house. These magic lamps with soft light will make the whole house. It shines like daylight, and the fragrance in the room also makes people feel refreshed-the middle-aged man sniffs his nose slightly, and then wakes up. The fragrance is an alchemy potion. Keep one's mind sober.

  There are already two people sitting in the house at this time, one of them is the Marquis of Thornweed, Michael Att.

  The person with his back to the door couldn't see his identity. The only thing he could see was that he had bright blond hair.

The middle-aged man showed some doubts at first, but he quickly guessed the identity of this person, his face changed suddenly, and he knelt on the ground immediately, lowered his head and said: "Fearless. Lorendas see Arlan Your Highness."

  The slightly embarrassed middle-aged man is the fearless Marquis Lorendas who almost died under the sword of Alexis on the Evergreen Suspension Bridge. Although he and the Marquis of Thornweed Michael Att are both Marquis of Strength, he is an emerging nobleman. Neither his foundation nor the background can be compared with Michael Att, who can compete with the Duke of Thornweed, so he belongs to Thorns. Under the command of the grass, becoming his loyal minister is naturally not an unacceptable fact.

  Because of the decision of the Fearless Marquis, he soon became the most important combat power under the Marquis of Thornweed, and he was also the heir of the Marquis of Thornweed.

  This can be seen from the three of them in this room.

"Master Lorendas, get up quickly, you are really flattered by your behavior." After hearing what Lorendas said, Arlan stood up, and then quickly turned around to help Lorendas. When he got up, his movements seemed unhurried, with a kind of arrogance unique to the royal family, but it was precisely because of this arrogance, coupled with his seemingly unpretentious smile, that it made Lorendas feel more A trace of gratitude and excitement.

  It's just that, in this regard, how much of the performance of the two sides is true, then only they will know.

  However, this does not prevent Lorendas from observing the three princes who are famous for their romance at close range.

  Arlan Lane, has bright hair like gold, and a very beautiful face-this look is due to his mother from the forest elves. The prince's figure is quite tall, almost close to about 1.8 meters, showing a very unique natural temperament from all over his body. His voice is gentle and full of magnetism, no matter how he looks at it, he is an excellent man who can become the dream lover of many women.

"You almost ruined our good deeds." Compared with the gentle Prince Arlan, the look of Michael Att, Marquis of Thornweed, looked very ugly. A mad dog. Otherwise...the fearless might become a joke."

   "You have taught me the right thing. Your lord Marquis." Lorendas lowered his head slightly and said, "The easy life during this period of time really made me careless and arrogant, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

   "Alright, Lord Michael, don't blame Lord Lorendas anymore." Arlan, who played a white-faced character, said with a smile, breaking the slightly silent and serious atmosphere. "Some things always have to be on the bright side. At least Lord Lorendas brought us some information. Right?"

   "Yes." Lorendas nodded and said.

   So at Arlan’s invitation, Lorendas quickly sat at the table where there were only two people sitting, and began to tell Arlan and Michael about what happened when he was on the Evergreen Suspension Bridge.

  I have to say that the Marquis of Lorenda, who is known as the fearless, may also have some talents as a bard. According to his description, both Prince Arlan and Marquis Michael, who were not present, had a feeling of being on the scene, especially when it came to the scene where the carriage was suddenly split, the hearts of the two suddenly emerged. A slight tremor—especially Prince Arlan. He didn't have any basis in martial arts, and he felt even more horrified.

   is just a matter of a few minutes, but under the description of Lorendas. However, it took three or four times as long to finish the explanation-of course, because of some questions from the Marquis Michael and Prince Arlan, Lorendas also had to add in details.

  After Lorendas finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, it was Prince Arlan who broke the silence first: "Split the carriage in half...Could it be the hand of Master Wengerhua? After all, he was right there at the time, and from what he said. Look... Obviously he has been paying attention to developments."

"It's normal for Master Wengerhua to pay attention to the development of the situation, but if Master Wengerhua can stop the carriage from such a distance, and push Master Lorendas back without hurting anything, then he is probably already A legendary powerhouse." A trace of contempt flashed in Michael's eyes, but he was very disguised and was not noticed by Arlan. "However, it does not rule out the possibility of other legendary powerhouses taking action, or..."

   "Or the woman herself is a legendary powerhouse..." Lorendas swallowed a bit hard.

   Recalling his previous reckless and arrogant behavior, Lorendas was filled with fear at this time. His current strength is only the realm of the quasi-sanctuary, and there is still a distance from the real sanctuary. However, he has indeed won the title of "Fearless" with his brave and decisive combat style. If you can step into the realm of the sanctuary, you will definitely be able to obtain the title of "fearless".

  But even if there is no fear, it is impossible not to feel fear when facing an enemy like the legendary powerhouse that is impossible to defeat.

   "It seems that the Void Grand Duke is surrounded by real talents." Michael said bitterly, "As a result, the king's capital has now gathered three legendary powerhouses."

   "Three...three?" Lorendas said with some confusion.

  He obviously knew that he had missed a lot of good things because of his territorial affairs delaying the time to come to the royal capital. But what he couldn't imagine in any case was that there were three legendary powerhouses in the Kingdom of Lane now! This has reached the level of a super-class kingdom! Although one of them belongs to the Void Principality, which is likely to lead to the independence of Void Principality from the status of a vassal state, but in any case, the current foundation of the Kingdom of Ryan can be regarded as very powerful.

Arlan glanced at Lorendas who was a little surprised, and then smiled: "It's a pity that two of them don't belong to our Lane Kingdom. One of them is probably the one you met earlier. The woman who followed Grand Duke Sean, if the information is true, she should be regarded as a person from the Void Principality. The other is a follower of Grand Duke Asuna of the Principality of Garrod, Miss Elizabeth Batian.... …I guess. If the Batian family had known Elizabeth’s talent, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have driven her away.”

   "Then...there is another one?" Lorendas asked.

"Oh, that one is in the hands of my dear brother, His Royal Highness Adas." Prince Arlan smiled, "My brother never thought of hiding this legendary power from the beginning. But it is very high-profile. He put him on the table.... It’s just that my brother didn’t think of it anyway. A legendary powerhouse also appeared next to Duke Asuna. Um, but at present, Duke Sean also appeared next to him. I think that my brother should have a headache now."

  "It is a good thing to be able to give His Royal Highness a headache, but it is not a good thing for us." Michael took a deep breath, and his face looked a little ugly. "I thought I could finally get revenge. But I didn't expect the enemy's strength to grow faster than I expected..."

"Please forgive me for leaving the capital for too long, so I am not quite clear about what has happened in the capital in recent years. Could you please ask Lord Michael to tell me, what practical conflicts do you have with the Void Grand Duke? Arlan said with a look of surprise, "As far as I know, you never seem to have a real head-on conflict with that grand prince? Even if it was the Sené noble alliance plan you drafted at the beginning, you played the role in it. His role seems to be just an intermediary."

  Hearing what Arlan said, Michael was taken aback for a moment, and then raised his head: "His Royal Highness Arlan. What do you mean..."

"I'm thinking, since we didn't have any actual conflict with the Void Lord. Then why can't we discuss it with him?" Arlan gave a charming smile, and I have to say that this one is half elves. The prince of blood is indeed very handsome, especially when he smiles, it is particularly intoxicating, "In my opinion, a Void Grand Duke is more powerful than those who have completely lost power, status, and identity. The ally of is much more valuable."

   Michael did not reply immediately, but showed a thoughtful look, but there seemed to be a little sadness between his brows.

The corner of Arlan's mouth raised slightly, and he decided to put the last straw: "Aren't the nobles paying attention to interest? As long as you have enough interest, and you can make Lord Michael ensure that you are still in the center of the kingdom's power, sacrifice a few. Isn’t it normal for chess pieces that are already worthless?"

Michael Att reduced the sad look on his face, and replaced it with a firm face: "You are right, Your Highness Arlan. If you can get the support of the Void Lord, then it will be natural for you to ascend the throne. It will be much smoother. Now there is a legendary powerhouse beside His Royal Highness Adams, and according to intelligence, the four princesses Vulcis seems to have also obtained the support of Grand Duke Asuna, and already possess the strength to compete with His Royal Highness Adams in terms of top combat power. ."

"Well, Grand Duke Asuna is not something that you can't fight for." Arlan smiled slightly, "My sister is indeed outstanding, but there is something wrong with a woman as the king of a country....Perhaps, Maybe I can get their support. If everything goes well, with the support of the two grand princes, I will not be able to fight against Wang brother."

   "This is inevitable." The Marquis Michael nodded, "So it seems that I need to prepare a gift to show Duke Sean."

"That's a good idea." Arlan smiled and nodded, "So now that we have made a decision, you will have to deal with the next things, Mr. Michael, you bother.... After all, although I am expensive Prince, but I don’t think many nobles will look after me."

"That's because they never knew that your Highness Allan was hidden." Michael clenched his fist to his chest, and then bowed to Allan slightly. "If Your Highness Arlan shows off, no one can resist it. Your progress."

"Ahaha, Master Michael, if you praise me so much, I would be embarrassed." Arlan smiled equally exaggeratedly, but there was no slight smile in the eyes of his head raised slightly with the exaggerated smile. It said, "Then I will leave first."

  After that, the third prince Arlan picked up the cloak next to him, put it on his body, got up and left. On the way back, the knight was still leading the way, but this time he did not leave the front door, but went out through a back door. There was already a dilapidated carriage waiting beside him. After seeing the appearance of Prince Arlan, a young man in the butler's costume who had been standing beside quickly opened the door of the carriage and greeted Arlan on his own. After getting on the carriage, he signaled the carriage to set off.

  Sit in the carriage. Arlan finally lifted his hood. There was a look completely different from the previous laughter.

"His Royal Highness, you need to rest." The young man in the housekeeper's costume gently squeezed his hair, revealing the pointed ears hidden under the hair. This is an elf, and a true elf with pure blood. Not a half-elf like Arlan, if you look closely. You can even see the powder and camouflage deliberately smeared on this elf's face. In order to cover up his true face, of course, he also relied on the slightly raised chest behind the sofa in the carriage.

   "Vannie, things are not as simple as you think." Arlan sighed softly, "Counting you, there are now four legendary powerhouses in the capital."

   "Another one appeared?" The female elf named Fannie was taken aback, "Why didn't I feel the breath?"

"Maybe he is also a legendary expert who is proficient in concealing aura. Just like you, he can use the force of nature to cover up his aura. People can't detect you." Arlan said softly, "but I can be sure. That is definitely a legendary strong man, and a legendary strong man who is extremely good at fighting. Such a legendary strong man is not easy to deal with, if she is not on our side..."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that any enemy that hinders you will become a dead soul under my sword." Fannie said softly, but even if her voice was softer, it was filled with an incomparable murderous aura at this time, "No matter who it is. Elizabeth, the daughter of thunder, or the vow knight Lauren, is not my opponent. Even if the new legendary powerhouse is a legendary powerhouse who is very good at fighting, it will definitely not be able to stop my meteorite sword skills."

"Well, I believe in you, Vannie." Arlan showed a charming smile. This smile is his sincere smile from the heart. It is fundamentally different from the smiles he has shown to everyone in the past, "But ah , I don’t want to do anything to our two people who may be future allies. Maybe... we should visit the miraculous lord first, maybe he will agree to be our companion."

   "He will agree." Fannie still replied softly, but the murderous in her words did not abate at all.

"Oh, no, no, dear Vannie, it's not good for you to be so murderous, it will scare our future allies." Arlan said with a smile, "Give this country to my brother who only knows how to fight. , This is simply to promote Ryan's demise. Although I admire my sister very much, but she does lack enough courage, if I can get the throne and have their help, then I can definitely make Ryan stronger."

   "I believe you can definitely make Ryan step on a stronger road." Vannie also gave a rare smile.

"Now, let my respected brother hit the wall and worry about it." Arlan turned his head and looked out the street through the window of the carriage. Not suitable for governing the country."

  In fact, things are exactly as Arlan expected. Adams in the palace is falling into a kind of distress and entanglement.

The third prince Arlan has very good diplomatic methods. In a way, this also means that His Royal Highness has a very good political sense. Of course, his excellent political sense does not mean that he is good at governing internal affairs. The same is excellent. On the contrary, Arlan is better at using sharp words and clear logic to solve those enemies with different political opinions, or using his sweet words to hook up one girl after another.

   And the prince Adams behaved more like a reckless man-of course, his commander and command ability is indeed good, but it is only limited to the use of tactics. Although he has the title of "Ryan the Uncrowned King of the Northern Territory", it was not him who made strategic plans during the previous wars, but the staff behind him. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Adams relied on his bravery and courage to conquer others.

  Of course, there is also a big reason that comes from his most powerful deputy, the vow knight. Lauren.

  At this time, the same information as Arlan and Michael discussed before was placed in front of the prince Adams's desk.

  However, it is different from Arlan and others who are still guessing whether Alexis's strength has entered the legend. The intelligence gained by Adams has clearly shown that the woman who followed Void Grand Duke Sean is a real legendary powerhouse, and I am afraid that it is even stronger than the average legendary powerhouse.

   "Lauren, about this piece of information. What do you think?" Adams said annoyed.

"If I did it. Whether it was the four horses or the coachman, or the fearless Marquis sitting in the carriage, it would be impossible to escape from my sword." The legend named Lauren. The strong glanced at the intelligence, and then said in a deep voice, "So purely in terms of skills, I am not as good as her.... But in terms of strength, I don't think the other party can win me."

   "Then suppose you need to play against the opponent. How confident are you that you will win?"

   "Ten%." Lauren said lightly. However, there is pride in the tone that cannot be concealed, "I am your vow knight, as long as you do not die, I will never die, so even if her offense is aggressive and skillful, even if my speed can't keep up. Fuck her, but I will never really die, all her attacks are meaningless. Unless...she is also a vow knight."

"Now there are three legendary powerhouses in the city. This really makes me feel a little uneasy." Adams frowned. "But **** it. My father didn't choose an heir before he died, otherwise I wouldn't. Become so passive."

  This Prince Adams obviously never considered the possibility that Ingus Lane, His Majesty the King, would not pass the throne to him. In his opinion, he is called the Uncrowned King of the North, so the next heir of the Lane Kingdom will definitely be him, and there is no possibility of being left behind. So when someone jumped out to fight for the heir to the throne, Adams' anger can be imagined.

Especially, when he learned that his father’s personal servant did not choose to take refuge in him, but instead took refuge in his sister Frches, he directly pushed the suspicion of Ingus’s death to the Marquis of Floris’s. On the head. He even thought that all this was instructed by his sister Fulhis desperately wanting to seize the throne. If there was no conclusive evidence, he would have ordered Lauren to kill the door directly.

"I don't think we need to be hostile to this Void Duke." Lauren watched Adams fall into a kind of anxiety, and said after a moment of silence, "This Duke does not have a clear choice of position, so We can win him over, so that our winning side will be much greater.... With the support of two legendary powerhouses, no one will dare to oppose you."

"Impossible!" Adams said coldly, "Duke Void and Asuna are very close, and almost all of his achievements today are bestowed by Asuna. There are rumors that the Duke Void is Asuna. Na’s face, or a secret lover, so he will definitely join forces with Asuna.... Even if they don’t join forces, I can’t let anyone close to Asuna live."

   Hearing what Adams said, Lauren said nothing.

  He has been following the prince for a long time, so he is very clear about the character of the prince. Perhaps ten years ago, the character of the prince was very frank, and he was considered courageous, but since the defeat that was completely suppressed by Asuna, the character of the prince has been completely distorted. , Coupled with a series of glorious battles on the northern border of the kingdom, this naturally developed the prince's more defiant arrogant character.

  Especially, when he died in a rebellion, and then resurrected by His Royal Highness Adams with the mysterious King Arthur curse as a vow knight, breaking through the limit of strength to become a legendary powerhouse, Lauren found that Adams was acting more unscrupulously. It was after this that Adams finally broke the title of the Uncrowned King of the North, but all of this was based on an absolute ruling regime, and those northern lords who opposed Adams were basically dead.

"Asuna, I will definitely let her kneel and beg for mercy!" Adams smashed the desk fiercely, with a vengeful look on his face, "This is what I've been waiting for for the past ten years.... If It's not that she has a daughter of Thunder next to her now..."

   "If your Highness has a need, I can solve that girl of Thunder now." Lauren said lightly.

  It seems that in his perception, no one is his opponent at all. However, by virtue of his almost the same characteristics as the undead, people who are not clear about their details really cannot achieve victory in the first battle, especially since Lauren was a not-so-strength actual combat powerhouse before his death. For those embroidered pillows that rely on resources but don't even have a bit of practical experience, Lauren's combat effectiveness is really terrifying.

"No, it's not the time yet." Although Adams was distorted because of the shame of the year, at least he has not really lost his mind. "If Elizabeth is killed, the Batian family will definitely not give up. They have been doing this recently. In trying to get in touch with Elizabeth, hoping to welcome her back to the family, but the progress is not much.... So before the current battle for the heir to the throne has not been determined, it is not appropriate to act rashly, at least to wait until the father. After the burial."

   "I see." Lauren bowed slightly, "So, what are we going to do now?"

"We go to the head of Batian, as long as we can persuade Elizabeth to return to the Batian family, or let her re-bind with the interests of the Batian family, then there is nothing to worry about." Adams thought about it. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "As for the Void Lord named Sean, after I become a king, there is a way to deal with him... But it's just a Principality!" (To be continued~^~)
