Spellcasting Heavens

The Kingdom of Annoya is a feudal country located in the southwest corner of the continent with a relatively warm climate in its middle age. It is mainly governed by the royal family at the apex of power and six hereditary dukes with high positions. It is not considered powerful in the surrounding areas. , is not weak, especially the navy is unique and can form a strong deterrent to the enemy's coastal towns.

Generally speaking, no one will easily provoke such a sea power, otherwise trade will be very seriously affected.

But today, King Wengel V, who had not stayed up late to deal with government affairs for thirty years, actually gave up the tryst with his beautiful lover for the first time and appeared in the study in the middle of the night. Also appearing with him was Field Marshal Bu Duke Ronhilda.

The two of them listened solemnly to the spy's detailed report. Soon Winger V couldn't help roaring angrily: Waste! What a waste! I gave him so many elite troops! There was even a spell caster. Legion! But he actually lost! And he lost so miserably! As a result, nearly half of the territory was invaded!

Your Majesty! Please calm down! Now is not the time to hold people responsible! Those rebels have occupied half of the kingdom's land and even uprooted the nobles you enfeoffed. If we really let them gain a foothold, we will all be in dire straits. Duke Brunhilda reminded in a solemn tone.

Damn it! Of course I know! But the question is, can you guarantee that if we send out another army, we won't be defeated by those monsters and steel puppets that come out of nowhere? King Wengel V asked sternly.

As an old king who has lived more than half of his life and has been in power for more than thirty years, he has never heard of such an outrageous situation in his life.

The Northwest Province, which has always been known for its poverty, backwardness, and tough folk customs, unexpectedly has an army of about 20,000 steel puppets, as well as monsters that can obey orders 100%.

Is all this supported by hostile countries?

Or is it that some god and demon hidden deep in the forest wakes up from his sleep and plans to start a war that will sweep the entire continent?

No matter which one it is, it is an unmitigated disaster for the Kingdom of Anoa.

Duke Brunhilda was obviously aware of the king's anxiety, and suggested in a deep voice: I think the best way to deal with it at the moment is to shrink the defense line, build a defense line around the stone castle, and at the same time send envoys to try to negotiate with the other party as much as possible. Delay to buy more time to spy on intelligence and plan a counterattack. In addition, I heard that Kerwin Oren was also a suitor of Princess Vilia when he was young, maybe we can take advantage of this.

You mean...using my most beloved daughter,

To seduce that mean, dirty, ugly redneck? The king was obviously irritated, and his eyes burned with anger.

To be precise, no self-respecting ruler would tolerate such naked humiliation.

But unfortunately, politics is often out of control, especially when it involves the interests of the entire ruling class. Even the king cannot stand on the opposite side of them, otherwise the dukes are likely to unite to launch a coup and replace them with someone who can represent them. The new king of their interests.

Anyway, as long as the bloodline of the royal family is not changed, it will not cause much impact and turmoil at all.

Your Majesty! Please believe me. Only by doing this can you confuse the enemy to the greatest extent, and even figure out what secrets are hidden behind him. As far as I know, Kerwin suffered an assassination not long ago, although the specific circumstances cannot be determined. It turns out that Ke Mi discovered that the servant who was cleaning the room brought out a large amount of blood-stained things, so he should have been seriously injured. But within two days, he appeared in public unscathed. This Absolutely not normal! Duke Brunhilda persuaded her earnestly.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to join forces with several other dukes to launch a coup at this time.

Are you sure that sacrificing my daughter can bring a victory to the kingdom? A real victory? Winger V raised his head and stared into the other person's eyes.

Duke Brunhilda nodded without thinking: Of course! I promise! In addition, before leaving, I hope to meet with Her Royal Highness alone to ensure that she knows her mission.

Okay! I promise you! But if you don't give me the promised victory after Vilia makes the sacrifice, I will let you understand how terrible the anger of a king is.

With a threatening growl, the king finally decided to compromise.

no way!

Whether it is to defend the dignity of the country and the royal family, or to unite all the nobles who can be united at a critical moment, he must make sacrifices.

What's more, the princess was originally a political bargaining chip. Whether it was marrying an important vassal or marrying to another country, it was impossible for her to choose.

Of course! I swear this on my own life and on my family's honor! Duke Bronhilda solemnly promised with one hand on her chest.

…

Soon, under the full operation of these two people in power, the envoy, which had been headed by the young princess, left the capital with great fanfare and slowly moved towards the front line of the confrontation between the two sides.

Before arriving at the destination, Kerwin, who was far away in another city, received the news early. His eyes showed strong anticipation, and he smiled and murmured to himself: Haha, are you finally coming? What I have dreamed of is Your Highness Princess! I'm afraid you will never think that that little country nobleman who you once ignored can now threaten the dominance of the royal family. Don't worry, it won't take long for me to swallow him and you together. From now on. From now on, whatever I longed for but could not get before, I will get back one by one.

The words just fell!

He raised his head and said to Baron Calanster, who was standing aside to listen to the instructions: Dear friend, I have something to trouble you with.

Please give me your orders! The baron raised his head with a bloodthirsty expression.

Go and fetch the princess for me! Remember! I just want to see the princess and clean up the rest. After all, I am not stupid enough to pull off such low-level and childish tricks. Kerwin sneered and gave the order.

Obviously, what he wants is just a princess, not some bullshit mission.

Because he had no intention of negotiating from the beginning, the reason why he did not choose to continue the attack was just to wipe out all the resistance forces in the area, rather than thinking that annexing half of the kingdom's territory would be enough.

As you wish! I guarantee that except for the princess, no messenger from the kingdom can come to you alive.

After saying that, Baron Kelanst bent down and bowed deeply, then turned and left the room. After about half an hour, he led a group of elite cavalry and rushed out of the city gate, intending to bloodbath the entire envoy.
