Lord of War

   A burst of broken porcelain sounded one after another, and then there was a continuous sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

  All the sounds come from one room.

  There were dozens of people standing outside the door, more than half of them were contract soldiers with cold and solemn expressions, but lifeless eyes. The rest are mainly servants, but there are also a few people who are embarrassed. These people with embarrassed faces are all wearing luxurious clothes. Although the style is not the most popular luxury style in the royal capital today, it is a more retro style of killing.

  Only nobles in the north of the kingdom will wear this style of clothing.

  After the cremation ceremony, they wanted to go back to their residence to make up their sleep. After all, they are all noble lords, so naturally they must have some nightlife. Even if they come from the more pragmatic northern nobles, they want to relax more or less when they come to the capital. But they didn't want to. They were called by Adams's urgency just shortly after they slept. When they arrived in a hurry, they only heard the constant noise from the study.

   Thinking and knowing with his toes, Adams was venting his anger in the study at this time. None of these northern nobles were willing to go up and die at this time, so despite the embarrassment on their faces, they would rather choose to wait outside. It just made them curious, why did Adams furious after the old king's cremation ceremony? It stands to reason that even if it is unable to obtain the support of the Kingdom’s Representative Military and Political Council, it should not be so furious.

  The so-called Kingdom Representative Military and Political Council is a kind of autonomous operation mechanism of the kingdom created by the first king of the Kingdom of Lane. Its purpose is to prevent the previous king’s failure to designate an heir and cause chaos and division in the kingdom’s government affairs. In addition, the Kingdom’s Military and Political Council also has the power to inspect and evaluate all the children of the royal family, in order to determine the candidates for the next successor to the throne, and to prevent the Kingdom’s Military and Political Council from being overwhelmed, splitting and changing the Kingdom of Lane. The law also limits the executive power of this parliamentary body for only one year.

  In other words, the kingdom’s military and political council must decide the next heir to the throne within one year.

  In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Kingdom of Lane, the Kingdom’s representative military and political assembly has been activated twice, and this time is the third time. This is also the fundamental reason why the Kingdom of Lane died when the old king did not designate an heir, and the three princes and princesses competed for the right of inheritance without causing civil strife in the kingdom.

  The representative military and political assembly of the Kingdom consists of eight people. The four are the powerful aristocrats who have won the title of "National Pillar and Important Minister" in government affairs. The four are powerful aristocrats who have won the king's trust in military affairs. This list was drawn up by the current king himself, because it is an urgent matter for the future of the kingdom, and the characters on this list are constantly being tested and tested at the same time, so every other year, someone will ask the current king if he wants to modify it. List.

  If Sean had not been given the name of the Grand Duke of the Principality, he would actually be on this list.

  Since the cremation ceremony of Ingus Lane, the government affairs of the Kingdom of Lane have been temporarily transferred to the commissioned Acting Military and Political Council. Whether it is the first prince Adams, the third prince Arlan, and the fourth princess Vulhis. They all have a year to compete. In order to strive to become the next seater on the king's chair.

  For this reason, they naturally do not want to make any mistakes in order to be caught by other competitors, thereby eliminating themselves from the ranks of competitors.

  But at this time, the prince Adams made a mistake, which made arrogance like how he could calm down.

  In the study, as people outside the door had expected, Adams was destroying things to vent his accumulated anger.

  The entire study room. It is as if it has been damaged by a typhoon of over ten magnitude and an earthquake, whether it is a bookshelf, a vase, a bronze statue, etc. placed in the room. All have been dropped, broken into pieces, or broken into pieces. Even many precious books, scrolls, picture books and the like have been scattered on the ground, many of which have been torn or missing corners. I'm afraid that anyone who is skilled in art will yell at this scene and can hardly hide his anger.

"You mean, you can be solved by Sean Connery's two swords?" Adams waved his hand and swept all the remaining things on the desk to the ground, and then asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you say, Isn't that woman your opponent?!"

  Before intercepting Sean, it was Lauren who was beheaded by Alexis with two swords. At this time, she stood intact in the study. Although he did not wear the heavy armor that had been smashed by Alexis, he did not carry the heavy sword behind his back, but his neck also did not suffer from the scars of being beheaded by Alexis. No matter how you look at it, Lauren doesn't seem to have been injured at all.

  But only Adams and Lauren themselves know that he did die once in the hands of Alexis.

Only because of the contractual oath, Lauren was resurrected afterwards, and then led the twelve subordinates back to the royal capital-not only Lauren did not die, but also the twelve he took. The soldiers are also resurrected just like Lauren. It is said that when several ordinary people saw the resurrection of these soldiers, they were directly frightened, thinking that some undead creatures appeared.

   Facing Adams' roar, Lauren can only bear with his head down silently at this time.

  For a long time, after Adams' anger had subsided slightly, Lauren said: "I seriously underestimated the woman's strength, which caused trouble to His Royal Highness. The subordinates are not doing well, so please punish your Royal Highness."

"Punish?" Adams smirked, "Is there any use for me to punish you!? And if I punish you now, I will only give my good brother and sister the opportunity to rise, which is useless for me!" Adams finally calmed down a bit: "The most important thing now is how many people know about this matter? And, what kind of response will that Sean make."

  "It's better to let the subordinates immediately lead the Oath Legion to attack, and then..." Lauren made a move to wipe his neck.

Adams glanced at Lauren, and said coldly: "How sure do you think you are? According to what you said, that woman has at least a strength close to the fourteenth order, and may even be close to the peak of the fourteenth order. In this case, even if you give you two thousand vows soldiers, you can only entangle her undefeated and really want to solve the opponent. At the very least, you need the help of a legendary powerhouse.... You think it is possible for Elizabeth Help you?"

  Lauren lowered his head and said nothing.

  "Go and let them in." Adams said in a deep voice.

  Lauren quickly turned around and opened the door, letting the northern nobles come in. After all the northern nobles entered the room, they all chose to turn a blind eye to the mess on the ground, as if the room was unusually empty and tidy, so even there were some precious scroll picture books on the ground. They also stepped straight on without squinting.

   "I don't hide it from you." Seeing these few northern aristocrats who are really my confidantes. Adams also got up from the chair behind the desk, and then said in a deep voice, "Because of an intelligence error, I have committed a stupid thing. This is likely to cause trouble for me and you.... So, I need you now. Return to the northern border immediately and mobilize the army to prepare for war."

   "Preparing for war?" A northern noble general frowned slightly. "Who is at war with?"

   "The Void Lord." Adams said in a deep voice. "Today, after the cremation ceremony, I asked Lauren to intercept the grand prince. I wanted him to assist me in investigating the mysterious death of my father, but I didn’t want the grand prince Xu Kong to refuse to cooperate. There was a battle among the followers of the Grand Duke, and finally the Grand Duke Void escaped."

  Hearing this, the expressions of several northern nobles immediately changed.

  They are all powerful nobles with feudal territories. So it is very clear what Adams's words mean.

  Although their identities are not as noble as Sean, who is already a great prince of a country, even the army of the Kingdom of Lane has no right to intercept their vehicles. Really qualified to intercept and order them. Only the supreme King of the Ryan Kingdom, but with the death of His Majesty, even the active military and political council is not qualified to intercept them.

  Not to mention hands-on.

  To put it harder, it can be regarded as an assassination.

   Even if a country’s king or even an imperial emperor blatantly assassinates a nobleman, this is a very troublesome thing and may even cause a rebellion. However, if the action is successful, then naturally no one will doubt, and even if they doubt, they will definitely not dare to openly criticize. But let Sean Connery, the Void Archduke, escape, then the next thing is much more troublesome.

  After all, about the reputation of this great prince, even in the north, they can be regarded as familiar.

  Several northern lords immediately led their orders to leave, and for a while, only Adams, Lauren and an older northern nobleman were left in the room.

"His Royal Highness, isn't it possible to reconcile with Grand Duke Sean?" The northern nobleman frowned slightly, his face showing a bit of fatigue, and then said, "After all, Your Royal Highness just wants to ask Grand Duke. It’s just to come back to assist in the investigation. Even if there is a conflict, it should be just a small contradiction. If it can calm the anger of this grand prince, even if it is to give up a little interest, I think it is not a bad idea."

Adams smiled helplessly and said, "Although I am arrogant, it does not mean that I am stupid.... Even if I am willing to reconcile with Lord Void, will my brother and sister miss such an opportunity? Now my attack on Lord Void has been circulated in the capital. No matter what the Lord Void reacts, the representative military council is already deducting points. In the competition for the throne, I have fallen behind. My two brothers and sisters are gone."

  Hearing Adams's so calm words, the northern noble also showed a solemn expression.

  ……

  A person who can become a contender for the throne is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

  The prince Adams is indeed not good at government affairs, but it does not mean that he will be politically savvy. From the moment he saw Lauren come home empty-handed, he had already realized the mistakes he had made. Although the next series of actions were not a good strategy, at least he would not fall into passiveness in the future. It can be regarded as a panacea-like response method. Of course, he himself has seen very clearly that his brother and sister will never miss such a good opportunity to strike.

In fact, as Adams had guessed, Lauren blatantly intercepted and fought Alexis-of course, whether in the eyes of Arlan or Frches, it was an attempt to assassinate the Void Archduke Sean Connery. ——The intelligence has fallen into the hands of these two throne candidates.

  Furxis passed the information obtained from the Marquis of Floris to Asuna's hands. The latter frowned immediately after reading it. However, she did not speak. Instead, she handed this information to Elizabeth and Vivienne, but her eyes fell on the Marquis of Floris, who was standing behind her Royal Highness Princess Frches. In the southern Kingdom of Lane, nothing can be concealed from the giant of the underground world.

   Facing Asuna's slightly indifferent gaze. Even the Marquis of Floris, one of the three dark giants underground in the Kingdom of Lane, seemed a little uncomfortable. But fortunately. Asuna didn't mean to embarrass the Marquis, she quickly retracted her gaze, looked at Frches, and said, "What is your Royal Highness's plan?"

"I want to disseminate this information, what does Grand Duke Asuna feel?" Vulcis said softly, with her unique delicate tone, but in her voice it was revealed that it was also cultivated by the royal family all the year round. The awe-inspiring will. "Although this cannot cause fatal damage to Brother Adams. But it is enough to cause some people to be vigilant. Especially the Acting Military and Political Council, they will definitely come forward to investigate this matter immediately, but regardless of the outcome, Brother Adams's reputation will definitely be affected. This is obviously detrimental to him on the road to the throne."

   "But this kind of thing involves Grand Duke Sean after all. We don't know how Duke Sean will react..." Asuna frowned. Then he said.

"I heard that the Void Principality has shifted its focus and energy to the Thousand-Year Empire Control Zone in the Barren Land. I am afraid that it will ignore what happens on our side in a short time." The Buddha standing behind His Royal Highness The Marquis of Loris spoke suddenly. "After the incident, as long as we make appropriate compensation to Grand Duke Sean, I believe Grand Duke Sean will definitely not mind, and maybe he will be very happy about our attack on His Highness Adams."

  Asuna just stared at the Marquis of Floris without saying a word, but the look in her eyes obviously made the Marquis of Flores feel unusually heart palpitations, and even her back was soaked.

"Grand Duke Asuna, I believe that even if Grand Duke Sean pursues it afterwards, you will definitely have a solution." Vulcis suddenly said, interrupting Asuna's gaze on the Marquis of Floris. Moreover, such information, even if we don’t use it, my three king brothers will definitely use it.... So in a sense, our most is to add fire."

  ……

  Arlan, who has a handsome face that many people can envy, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised at this time, which makes his handsome face even brighter. He raised a piece of information in his hand, and then gave a soft whistle: "Vannie, my brother really did a terribly stupid thing.... Haha, I believe he should now It will be a very headache."

   Fannie’s complexion has completely returned to normal, completely no longer the appearance of the previous serious injury. Just listen to her red lips lightly open: "His Royal Highness seems to be very happy."

"Of course I'm happy." Arlan nodded, "My king brother is as brainless as I expected, and asked his vow knight to intercept Grand Duke Shaun's car. As a result, he was killed by the man next to Duke Shaun. The follower’s two swords have been resolved.... If he hadn’t been an oath of the undead, my king brother would have lost a legendary follower, and now I’m afraid he’s completely ineligible to compete for the throne.”

   "Then I have to congratulate Your Highness in advance."

"No, my brother Wang hasn't completely lost power yet. At least he still has the power to compete, but he won't be as popular as before." Arlan said with a smile, "Although I don't want to be with that Void Lord Enemy, but...it’s good to borrow some momentum a little bit. Besides, I believe my sister who lacks courage will definitely not let it go. After all, there is a side hiding in the shadows beside her. Fox... And, I am also very interested, how my brother Wang plans to solve this matter, he is not like a person sitting and waiting to die."

  "Does His Highness Adams have any other means?"

"Hmph, he certainly won't have any other means, he will only consider it in the way of military warfare." Arlan said coldly, "but beside him, there is a conspiracy that was called a black hand in Lane in the past. Home.... He is just as annoying as the old fox hiding in the shadows of Floris. I would be driven out of the royal capital back then, thanks to him.... Well, I believe this old guy will definitely not If Adams is allowed to come, he should find a way to make up, at least to minimize the damage to Adams."

Speaking of this, Arlan stretched out his hand and gently tapped on the table top, and a unique rhythm-like percussion sounded: "Vannie, these days, you pay attention to staring at the road from the capital to the Fortress of Tonis, as long as it is If you find any suspicious guy, you will be killed.... In addition, let people go to the teleportation magic circle in several nearby cities. If suspicious people are found, report them immediately, and then conduct a follow-up investigation. If it is confirmed that they all eventually appeared At Tony's Fortress, everyone will be killed regardless of status or status."

When    said this, Arlan looked murderous, not at all as weak as he had seen Sean before.

"Old guy, no matter what you want to do, you must get in touch with the Void Principality. I am not as you wish." Arlan sneered, "Back then, you judged me that I was not resourceful enough, but so what? I just have more brains than the one you supported....... I fundamentally broke your plan, no matter how you save it, I don’t want to regain control of the situation.” (To be continued~^~)
