Lord of War

  When the war between the Principality of Lane and the Kingdom of Darbion broke out, the entire continent was actually regarded as a joke.

  Because no one has ever felt that the Principality of Ryan dared to destroy the Kingdom of Darbion, even if the Principality of Ryan had the advantage in the war a few years ago, and once defeated the kingdom of Darbion, they eventually returned a large amount of territory. Logically speaking, the Principality of Lane, which was the winner of the war, could completely cede the territory of the Kingdom of Darbion. At least one of the parties won during the war between the two countries, and it is certainly impossible to return the territory so easily.

  But the Principality of Lane still had to return it.

  Because they are a principality.

  The so-called duchy is the affiliation of other countries. To a certain extent, they have lost a very large degree of ziyou, and no matter what they do, they are involuntary. Otherwise, the end of the war that year would not have been for Asuna to return the territories that she had beaten down.

  Therefore, no one paid attention to this war until the overall victory in the southern theater.

  Except for the Kingdom of Fascism.

  This country is really preparing for the act of taking advantage of the fire. For this reason, they even secretly assembled an army of 300,000, waiting to invade immediately when the Kingdom of Darbion is unprepared.

  It's just that the situation on the battlefield, the performance has become too fast.

  It’s almost here, the assembled forces of the Fascist Kingdom are too late to react.

  The overall victory in the southern theater, especially the genocide encountered by the family of Prince Kazes Hodgedi, finally allowed other neighboring countries to discover the difference between the war between the two countries. Judging from this scale, this is definitely an endless war. After all, Prince Hodgdi is the uncle of Darbion King Moro VII. In any case, he is also a member of the royal family, so his death is It is destined that this war cannot end easily.

   Therefore, the defeat of the army of the Principality of Ryan in the Northwest Theater at that time was naturally regarded as a **** revenge battle finally launched by the Kingdom of Darbion.

  It was only a few days before and after the judgment of this view. When the new information was passed on, this time even the seven empires were silent. Although they did not receive important information such as the disappearance of all the sanctuary powerhouses in the Kingdom of Darbion overnight, the military departments of various countries also realized that this war might be the Kingdom of Darbion. The end of the country’s destruction.

  Even many people believe that the Principality of Lane dared to be so tough this time, it must be the instruction of the Millennium Covenant Empire.

  Only the emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire and the few core followers around him knew that this was not their idea at all, but the idea of ​​a strong man of unknown origin. According to this super-powerful, it was that the Kingdom of Darbion had offended him, but due to certain rules, he could not destroy the country himself, so he planned to use the hands of the Principality of Ryan to destroy the Kingdom of Darbion. , So whoever dares to intervene in this matter is tantamount to provoking him.

  As for how strong this strong man is, Turman only used one sentence as an explanation.

   "In front of him, the suppression of momentum is enough to hurt me."

Hearing Turman’s words, the emperor of the Millennium Covenant was also silent, because he saw with his own eyes Turman was wounded and returned, but fortunately, Turman finally brought a barely worthwhile News of news.

  As for other things, the Millennium Covenant Empire can only remain silent.

  Even if he does not want to be silent, there is no way.

  Unless he is willing to trouble the devil-Enkos is still blocking the only way from the Millennium Covenant Empire to the Principality of Lane. According to front-line intelligence, five church knights have been completely buried in the hands of this demon, and even a living person has not escaped. This way, the emperor will naturally know that this is definitely a **** one. the road.

  Of course, the real reason why he didn't send troops to the Principality of Lane, which had already made it very likely to leave his control, was that the purge plan within the empire was about to begin. If this plan fails, then it will be a real civil turmoil in the empire. At that time, he will also need to rely on soldiers to suppress it, so at this time it is absolutely impossible for him to waste any troops to fight against a demon.

   Therefore, the silence of the Millennium Covenant Empire naturally made other countries think they knew the truth.

Therefore, when the 300,000 troops of the Fascist Kingdom secretly assembled saw a blue-haired young woman standing alone in front of them, and waved their hands to summon thousands of water elemental guards from Shuiyue Lake, the Fascist Kingdom Think of this woman as a reinforcement sent by the Millennium Covenant Empire. Looking at this scene, recalling the fear that it had suffered from the invasion of the Chenas Empire, the Fascist Kingdom finally silently chose to retreat—at least even if it really wanted to fight, it would definitely not be on this battlefield filled with water. .

  Compared with the Kingdom of Fascism, Marquis Devin Sodell Chabo also behaved very calmly.

When two figures of black and silver appeared in the northwestern theater to block the advance of Ryan's army, Dai Wen knew that they could not go any further. The aura exuding from these two young women made Dai Wen feel like two. A huge mountain range lay in front of them, and they still couldn't climb it for life. So in the face of this situation that has completely exceeded his manpower, Dai Wen directly ordered the entire army to stop advancing.

  He could see that the two women just didn't want them to pass, and they were not hostile to them.

   And Dewen, roughly understood why the sanctuary powerhouses of Darbion Kingdom disappeared overnight.

  Just because he understands, it does not mean that others understand.

Many nobles in the Northwest Theater felt that if they could not continue to advance, then they would not be able to gain more combat exploits. Seeing that the Southern Theater and the Southeast Theater were completely over, and the coalition forces marched towards Garrod Fortress, these nobles would no longer be able to sit. Live, have asked to play. In this regard, Dai Wen's response was very simple, you fight as you want, anyway, the Saber family will not attack.

  Then, the troop strength of the Northwest Theater was sharply reduced by one-third in one day.

  Any soldier who strikes, none of them can survive.

  So, the entire Northwest Theater could only watch as Asuna and Sean, the two guys who had made them extremely hateful, succeeded in taking down the Garrod Fortress, and then directly destroyed the Kingdom of Darbion.

  Then, this war is over.

  At the moment the war ended, the two women, one black and one silver, who had stopped the Northwest aristocrat from advancing in the opposite direction, left. But leaving at this time is meaningless to the nobles in the Northwest Theater, because this war has completely ended, and they have lost any opportunity to reap exploits. So it is obviously impossible to say that there is no resentment towards Sean and Asuna.

   But even if you resent, what can you do?

  After annexing the territory of the Kingdom of Darbion this time, the entire domestic aristocracy will inevitably face a new round of reshuffle: now it can be determined that the number of people who can be selected as the duke will not be less than six. After this war, the marquis of real power who can reach the sky in one step will also have at least six or seven more places. Those marquis and earls accumulated from the many years of accumulation in the Duchy of Ryan would certainly not care too much about these emerging nobles, but if these marquis and dukes were basically on Asuna's side, then they couldn't help but ignore them.

  A new round of political struggle yin plan, from the moment the Kingdom of Darbion was completely declared annihilated, it was already brewing.

   So soon, the envoys from the various nobles in the Principality of Lane began to rush to the Principality. However, if you carefully collect information, you can find that these envoys have hardly set foot in the two theaters of southeast and south of the original Darbion. On the contrary, the old aristocrats and emerging aristocrats who disliked each other in the Principality of Ryan had gone instead. Get close, especially in the royal capital, the banquets of the families are almost never broken.

  ……

At this time, in the lord’s mansion of the Void City, Sean was sneering and threw the documents sent by Asuna on the table. There was obvious disdain on his face: "A group of mobs know that Behind the scenes, you can declare war directly if you have the ability."

"Now even if we declare war head-on, we will be in a disadvantageous situation." William said coldly without lifting his head. He is now gathering his mind to draw lines on a map, list se and name names. , "Now we have less than 40,000 troops in our territory. Even if we have more experience in actual combat because of the war, but such a large territory, if there are really nobles to declare war with us, how do you plan to defend it?... It’s better to use your brain to do things more."

   "Don't we still have allies." Sean shrugged.

"Even if we have allies, it's useless." Hela said suddenly, "We have just experienced such a big battle, and we have fought three war zones from start to finish, so now, except for Baidi on Jingrui soldiers. The family’s Grim Bear Corps is fairly complete, but the Hopson Guards, the Tequila Army, and the three major legions under our command will not be able to continue fighting in a short period of time.... As for ordinary soldiers, excluding the wounded. In part, we currently have only 15,000 soldiers left with the power of World War I.... And the most important point is that, in the face of those real veteran nobles, we do not have any advantage in high-end combat power. If we If you ask your allies to take action, it will inevitably arouse resentment and condemnation from other nobles in the entire kingdom, and disputes may turn into civil turmoil at that time."

"So, as the fuse of the outbreak of civil strife, we will become sinners." William took Hela's words, but at the moment he finally raised his head and glanced at Sean, his eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot, "In this way, Unless our allies insist on advancing and retreating with us, or even raising the flag to rebel, otherwise we will face the strength of an entire kingdom, and maybe allies will become enemies."

  Even though Sean believed that Asuna and the others would not be enemies, he still felt very helpless when he heard this.

At that time, after the end of the war, he reached an agreement with the Boulder family, the Hopson family, the Baidi family, Florence, Asuna, and Ronnis, and signed the future positions on many aspects, whether it be politics or war. The above is a unified offensive and defensive alliance. Among the seven of them, it is now 100% sure that Asuna, Hatch Boulder, and Kos Hopson are all on the list of the first dukes of the Kingdom of Lane.

And he and the Patriarch of the Florence and the Baidi family are already on the list of marquis. On the contrary, the Boulder family originally had a few other people who could still occupy a place in the Kingdom of Lane in the game, but they can only get one. The title of nobility can not obtain territory. Even the tequila collar cannot continue to maintain this scale, and its territorial area will at least be cut by more than half.

  So, there will be three dukes, three marquis, and one earl in this seven-man alliance.

  This lineup is extremely eye-catching even if you look at those second-tier kingdoms, so it is not difficult to understand the mentality of other nobles in the Principality of Ryan to join forces. It’s just that because they have just gone through the war, the only place in their alliance that has a relatively complete force is the Earl Ronnis. The rest of the troops have basically been completely exhausted, and it may be difficult to recover without a recuperation of more than three or four years. The scene.

  At this time, they are most proud of and proud of their top power.

  Only Asuna, Hatch, Kos, Florence and other four people together, there are seven low-level sanctuary powerhouses. Although Xiao En had no sanctuary powerhouse, Xuefanio and Rena were both invincible in the golden realm, especially Xuefanio alone was enough to make people daunting.

Although Sean didn’t know where Andrew got it from [Ancient Dragon Bloodline], this can be called a bug, but after Rina drank it, she was really fine, and she also gained this bloodline ability. She hasn't fully awakened this bloodline power, but she has already had a very obvious improvement in her physical fitness. It is no exaggeration to say that Rena is half a dragon.

  And this is not a surprise.

  What really excites Sean is that Rina has been directly transferred from [War Knight] to [Holy Dragon Knight]! Not only did she retain all the aura skills possessed by the war knights, but also gained the powerful combat abilities possessed by the dragon knight series. It is said that Rina will not be afraid even if she is head-on from now on. Anyone can even say that she can still use the power of aura skills to suppress opponents whose strength is comparable to hers.

   But everything is good and there must be bad.

Although the rank of   Holy Dragon Knight is powerful, the difficulty of upgrading its rank is far beyond the imagination of others.

The ranks of the   Dragon Knight series have become extremely powerful because of their individual abilities and the assistance of Yalong. Therefore, if you want to improve your strength, you must achieve simultaneous promotion with the mount. In other words, if Rina does not take care of her mutant emperor dragon, which she has named "Blackstone", and turns it into an eighth-level beast, then Rina will probably only be stuck at the upper gold pinnacle for her entire life. This level.

  This is also quite helpless.

  So if it’s just a simple competition for high-end combat power, let alone their alliance of seven, even Sean alone is enough to walk sideways in the Principality of Ryan—provided that there is no intervention from the sanctuary powerhouse. But not to mention his allies, now he is 100% sure that after the end of the war, the old nobles and royal family of the Principality of Ryan possessed as many as eight sanctuary powerhouses, not to mention that these eight people were together. Taking a shot, just a random person is enough to make Sean a headache.

  After all, Beth left the Void City yesterday. And when he went to Red Leaf Town later, the tavern that Andrew opened had also changed hands and sold, and Ablis, Dex, Nanali and others were all missing, so it is equivalent to saying that he has lost a piece of immunity now. Dead gold medal.

   Then when he thought that he had already established two rival families within the kingdom, Xiao En felt a little bit painful.

   "Then this time we went to the king, didn't we join the trap?" Xiao En looked at Hela, and then asked.

"Not this time." Hela shook his head and said, "After all, it's the stage of looting after the war. Whenever we depart or return, we will go with Asuna and others, so even if there are some bold nobles who want to assassinate. We will never choose the road.... Of course, if we enter the royal capital, then we may really encounter some troubles, and these troubles may only be solved by us."

   "Really." Xiao En frowned slightly, "Then it seems that the person we are going to set off this time can only be more expensive."

"Yes." Hela nodded, "However, after we divide the spoils, we will probably begin to enter the contest phase. At that time, it will not only be an assassination, but also various yin tricks and political threats. . If in these contests once we expose our weaknesses or fail to stand up, then we are likely to suffer major losses."

"If it's just a domestic contradiction, it's okay to solve it." William finally stood up and moved his right hand. "What I am more worried about now is the pressure of public opinion from the outside.... After all, we were still in war before. Such a pretense, but now it’s over, I’m afraid the guys in the business alliance won’t let it go? If this happens, your head will be worth a lot of money."

   Hearing what William said, Hela looked at Sean with some doubts, obviously not understanding what it meant.

  So, William was very patient to tell all the stupid things Shaun had done to the Chamber of Commerce in the first place, especially the heinous crimes committed in the black market of the Gray Shadow Forest. Although the robbery was cool for a while, and Sean and others were indeed extremely profitable, the sequelae afterwards were enough to make people collapse. The most important point is that the City of Trade has listed Sean and others as black. List, deny them entry.

  As a result, they naturally cannot replenish their troops quickly.

  You know, Iron Wings are the northern barbarians of Qingyise!

  Hela looked at Xiao En, full of helplessness: "What a lord who never cares about consequences."

   "Hmph, what is the Chamber of Commerce Alliance? After I solve the next trouble, I will naturally settle the account with them slowly." Xiao En sneered, "By the way, is the territory of the Void Nether determined yet?"

   "Here." William snarled at the map on the table. (To be continued.)
