The Origin of Arcane

Basically, what the spell energy can do, the shadow energy can do.

The only big problem now is that the shadow energy cannot be leaked at will.

Once a large-scale leak occurs, it will cause shadow energy pollution.

The polluted animals and plants will not die, but there will be directional mutations. The mild ones will be shaded to varying degrees, and the severe ones will directly change their genes, turning them into distorted shadow creatures.

If a plane is fully shadowed, it means that this plane is not far from being completely collapsed and then swallowed by the shadow plane.

The study of shadow energy by the leader of Yongye is still how to block them out, instead of using them recklessly.

Xiao En can ensure that he and the leader of the Eternal Night Army can maintain reason when facing the temptation of power, but he can't ensure that others can as well.

Narentoya and the undead led by her are typical of them. In order to obtain the power of revenge, they even gave up being human.

In Xiao En's eyes, the Holy See of St. Ether, which supports the new royal family, is also very abnormal. Under the leadership of St. George, it is no longer a purely religious organization. Many people have embarked on a fanatical pursuit of the Holy Power. It is easy to be seduced by someone with a heart, but the young king Laurie fell into an unprecedented strength and couldn't extricate himself.

Valesta is still the royal capital it was four years ago.

But the atmosphere here is completely different from four years ago.

Most of the shops, taverns, and restaurants that once became popular here have disappeared, and even if they still operate occasionally, they are nothing but people.

The owner of the store is no longer the leader of the Yongye army, but the dignitaries of Valesta, and even the staff directly under the Holy See, and the industries they are engaged in have become varied.

The new royal court led by King Laurie was reorganized. Although there was no outright antagonism with the Yong Ye army leader, the relationship between the two parties was still cooling down rapidly.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is inevitable for the Yongye army leader to withdraw capital from Valesta on a large scale.

Now it is the Holy See that occupies the main tone here.

Not only has the number of churches increased dramatically, but Holy See knights can be seen everywhere.

The citizens open their mouths to praise the God of truth, but shut their mouths to praise His Majesty the King.

This kind of praise is not because of coercion, but completely from the heart. It seems incredible to outsiders, but in the eyes of the citizens of Valesta, it has become a matter of course.

On the contrary, not believing in the God of Truth, not joining the Holy See, seems to them an incredible thing.

Another biggest change in Valesta, the royal capital, is that the government orders in all aspects are no longer directly issued by the palace, but by a more specialized agency - the Prime Minister's Office.

At first glance, the kingship appears to have been weakened.

But those who really understand the operation mode of the new royal court will never think so.

The new royal court just has less contact with the people below, and it doesn't mean that all the decisions are made by the Prime Minister's Office.

The Prime Minister's Office is only a part of the new royal court, which is in charge of finance, people's livelihood and other aspects.

The military power is in the hands of the military ministers directly under the new royal court.

With the separation of the two, the new royal court will naturally be able to control the overall situation.

This is a sign that the governance model is relatively mature.

However, compared to the Marshal's Office of the Minister of Military Affairs, the Prime Minister's Office is obviously more present.

After all, no matter how great the military power is, it is still outside, and it is difficult for the citizens of the capital to feel it.

On the contrary, the various policies issued by the Prime Minister's Office will be closely related to them, and their attention will naturally stay here more. If there is any trouble here, it will be known to the whole city.

In the prime minister's mansion at the moment.

The current prime minister of the Lancelot royal family, Lord Barker, was furious, and the stack of newspapers in his hand was slammed by him, Your Excellency Patlem, this is what you prepared for me, the leader of the Eternal Night Army and the Eastern Sea Kingdom War report? It’s a fool, and it’s not so fooled, right? Don’t think I don’t know what it is, the newspaper that the Yongye Army Leader publishes on time every week, only needs ten coppers, and everyone can have a copy. can be used as information.

You don't even need to go to the Yong Ye army leader, you can just send people to the princess's fief, and you can buy a batch. The whole process doesn't cost you ten gold coins. Why do we invest more than five million gold coins in your intelligence department every year?

Even if these five million gold coins are used to raise pigs, they can raise millions of pigs, but when they come to you, there is nothing! How do you want me to report to His Majesty?

The Minister of Intelligence, Grand Duke Patlem, who was sprayed all over his face with saliva, poured out bitterness on his face: Your Excellency, I can understand your feelings, and you have to be considerate of my work difficulties, especially regarding the eternal night army. leading intelligence work.

It’s not like you don’t know, it’s a monolithic place. We finally spent a lot of money to get on the line with some people in it, but they turned around and came up with a collar Anke, and many people didn’t have time to hand us a few. Effective information evaporates from the world, and no one is alive or dead, and all our money is wasted.

Why don't I want to get first-hand information about the war between the Yong Ye Army and the East China Sea?

But how to get it?

Even the people of the Yongye army are like this, let alone the army they use as a base, the needle can't be inserted, let alone intelligence, all the instigators we sent were taken down on the spot.

Stubin is not only separated by the Evernight Commander, but also separated by a vast ocean. It is difficult for our people to contact them, let alone send information back?

If your Excellency the Prime Minister has any good method, please let me know.

If your Excellency the Prime Minister thinks that I, the Minister of Intelligence, have neglected my duties, please tell Your Majesty directly and remove me from the position of Minister of Intelligence, please be smart!

When it came to the end, Grand Duke Patraim's attitude became extremely tough.

Because he has enough confidence, no matter how bad he is in the position of minister of intelligence, as the prime minister, Grand Duke Buck has nothing to do with him.

Because he achieved this position not because of his ability, but because of the multi-faceted power game.

As long as Man Yu's status as Grand Duke is still there, no one will be able to touch him.

You... scoundrel! Grand Duke Buck's face was livid, and he was really annoyed by Patraim's scoundrel, but he felt a little helpless.

It is said that people need face and trees need bark.

When the leader of an army doesn't even want his own face, then he is truly invincible.

Grand Duke Patraim is such a model, a scoundrel among the rich and powerful.

Being sloppy and shameless is a routine trick, and I don't care if I roll around.

Not to mention that Grand Duke Buck has nothing to do with him, even King Laurie and Pope St. George are helpless to him.

He and his Commander Manyu are just a piece of chicken rib, they taste like no meat, but they cannot be discarded easily, after all, they are still lying between the Broken Blood Castle and the Commander of Eternal Night, so they will not be completely connected as one.

Grand Duke Barker is also very human. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said: Your Excellency, don't get me wrong. I am right and wrong. You and Yong Yejun have been neighbors for many years. You should be aware of this threat. For us, how big is it? Originally, the puppet country of Stupin was entrenched in the East China Sea. At least it could attract part of the attention of the Yongye Army Commander, so that they still had some concerns about developing the Donnao Plain.

Right now, the Donghai Kingdom will be beaten to death by the leader of the Yongye army, and they will no longer have any worries behind them. Once the development of the Donnao Plain is completed, they will be completely self-sufficient, not to mention a great deal of power.

With them entrenched behind us, we can't let go when we go west?

Most importantly, how did the Yong Ye army leader defeat Stubin's Third Fleet?

The Third Fleet is neither big nor small, with at least one or two hundred warships, plus the indigenous forces absorbed in the East China Sea, the overall strength has already surpassed the strength of any single fleet of the Commons family.

At the last military meeting, those generals still vowed to analyze that even if the Donghai Kingdom did not completely disrupt the situation of the Yongye Army Commander, it would still attract their attention. Wouldn’t it be a problem to drag them to the Donnao Plain for three to five years?

Grand Duke Buck's words undoubtedly touched the pain of Grand Duke Patraim, and his expression became gloomy involuntarily.

Who in the new royal court hates the leader of Yong Ye the most?

He is the most.

In the past ten years, the Yong Ye Army Leader has indeed never had a direct conflict with the Man Yu Army Leader.

But it doesn't mean that the Yong Ye Army Leader has little influence on the Man Yu Army Leader.

Leaving aside the rise of the Yongye Army Leader, the Man Yu Army Leader went from prosperity to decline.

Grand Duke Patraim has been on the throne for more than ten years, and he has been unable to reunify the Man Yu army leader, and the Yongye army leader is the culprit.

The Man Yu military leader has not developed much for a long time, but the Yongye military leader is like a blowout, developing and growing day by day.

As a neighbor of such an emerging force, the pressure is of course enormous.

When I dream back at midnight, I always sit up in shock sweating profusely.

Because he dreamed that the army led by the Yongye army had already approached the city, and it was about to break through.

This kind of pressure is not only felt by Patram, but also by Grand Duke Buck, which is why they hit it off with King Laurie and formed the new royal court.

Because they clearly know that if they don't make changes as soon as possible, it will be a matter of time before they are annexed by the Yongye army leader.

At that time, not to mention maintaining the integrity of his family's territory, whether he could retain his place in the senior leadership of the Yongye Army was still unknown!

This is also the reason why the two grand dukes in the new royal court are closer to each other, because they share the same disease!

Grand Duke Patlem said solemnly; I know a thing or two about your Excellency's question.

How? Duke Buck asked hastily.

Patram asked, Your Excellency, have you ever remembered the new long-range weapons displayed by the Yongye army leader on the Jacob River last year in order to show off his force?

Remember! Why don't you remember! Grand Duke Buck seemed to think of some bad memories, and said through gritted teeth, They won't repeat their old tricks and make fuss about weapons to make Stubbs' fleet suffer a lot, right?

Patlem nodded and said: The tricks are not afraid of the old, the Eternal Night Army has an advantage in this area, and they will not fail to make a fuss about it, so their new weapons have always been the focus of my attention. It's not like there's nothing to be gained from the Yongye army leader dropping so many gold coins.

Although I haven't got the samples and specific data of these new weapons, but I have some understanding of them. This new weapon is actually an extended use of black powder. It is a kind of range and accuracy. Catapult is a more powerful throwing weapon, throwing black powder bombs.

I don’t need to describe the combat effectiveness of installing this weapon on the city wall or on a large warship, right?

If this is the case, Stubin's loss may be even more serious than we imagined, because the leader of the Eternal Night Army will definitely make full use of this layout and let the enemy make a big somersault on it. Grand Duke Buck said. Guess right.

Grand Duke Buck took two steps back and forth, We must find a way to get this new type of weapon, otherwise our future situation will be very passive.

Grand Duke Patraim spread his hands and said, Don't think about the Yongye army leader, this new weapon, the Yongye army leader even hides it from the bloody castle, it must be their top secret , will inevitably guard against death, rather than trying to find a way from them, it is more reliable to start from our own arsenal. I believe that as long as the Yongye Army Leader can manufacture something, we can manufacture it, it is just a matter of how much we invest , 10 million won’t work, 20 million won’t work, 2000 won’t make it, 30 million won’t make it, I don’t believe that Jinshan can’t come out.”

Don't you think things are too simple! Grand Duke Buck said with a dark face, Let's not talk about the certain success rate in this kind of research, but where does the research cost come from? You know we just set up a new How much military expenditure has been invested in the military? How much military expenditure is needed to maintain it every year? Let alone 10 million, even if it is 5 million, I can't get it out here.

Grand Duke Buck is now the ruler of the Carthus army and the prime minister of the Lancelot royal family.

With dual identities, the power seems monstrous.

But only when you are in this position can you know the difficulties.

Information, people's livelihood, and the army really ask for money everywhere.

Especially the massive new army is like a bottomless pit.

People eat horse chews and equip armor. These are only the most basic initial investment, and the bulk is to maintain their military expenditures.

Just for the existing 32 legions, the annual maintenance expenditure is as high as more than 15 million.

However, King Laurie is addicted to forming new legions, and he is still recruiting soldiers continuously, preparing to form more new legions.

For this reason, the two had a great disagreement, which was very unpleasant.

Now whoever asks Archduke Buck ahead of time, he will not have a good face.

Your Majesty's decision-making on the new army is indeed a bit off the mark. The army is not as large as possible. It also needs to consider its own bearing capacity. When the number of troops far exceeds one's own burden, not only does it not It will make one's own strength stronger, on the contrary it will become a drag on oneself. Patlem nodded in agreement.

That's what I told Your Majesty. According to the current situation, it is enough for us to maintain a new army of 20 to 25 legions. No matter how large the number is, it will consume our own strength and let us The decision-making is becoming more and more passive, and if it is delayed for too long, it may even collapse without a fight. A trace of sadness flashed across Duke Buck's face.

Your Excellency, there is no need to worry about this matter. Today I will come to the door in person, and I have a piece of good news that is very beneficial to us. Patraim said with a mysterious expression on his face.

What good news? Grand Duke Buck frowned, obviously not thinking that this unreliable royal intelligence minister could spit out anything useful.
