Lord of War

The climate of the Southern Continent is slightly different from other places on the Miracle Continent. The Southern Continent is slightly hotter in summer, especially in the surrounding areas near the wild land. Because of the lack of rain and the blowing of wind and sand, it is not just It's hot and very dry. Although in the past more than a year, the Principality of the Void has implemented many strategic construction policies tailored to local conditions, and even spent a lot of materials and money to hire druids known as "nature fanatics" and a large number of magicians to carry out greening construction , but judging from the current short-term situation, the effect is very small.

But no matter what, the environment of the entire Void Principality is indeed changing for the better.

Black Swan Castle, one of the five most famous ancient castles in the Southern Continent, has finally ushered in the arrival of a large number of black swans since the first Ryan and Darbion War. So after the news of the Black Swan's reappearance in the Black Swan Castle spread, the reputation of the castle quickly returned to a peak state.

Of course, many nobles in Ryan cursed Sean in a sour voice. After all, there was a rumor in the Black Swan Castle a long time ago. It is said that if these black swans who are not afraid of strangers appear in the Black Swan Castle, then this symbolizes that the owner of the castle is favored by the goddess of luck.

The afternoon sun fell on the Black Swan Castle, covering the whole castle with a layer of golden brilliance.

After several renovations, the Black Swan Castle has not only been completely restored to its former glory, but even because it is a product under Sean's real name, the value of the Black Swan Castle has increased geometrically.

No nobleman can do without face project.

Even if Sean is a Grand Duke. And he may be the most unassuming and image-conscious Grand Duke in the history of Miracle Continent, but it is impossible for his followers not to consider him just because of Xiao En's randomness.

The Black Swan Guards who were originally responsible for the security of the Black Swan Castle had only a hundred people. Now it has expanded to a scale of 300 people. These guards are composed of the most elite men selected from all the armies of the entire Void Principality, and each of them has the personal strength of the upper silver pinnacle. Although they don't pay more attention to various combat skills than adventurers and mercenaries, they are soldiers who have strong combined attack skills and battle formation skills.

After going through a series of selections, these three hundred people have undergone hell-style training by Rena, William, Alfred and others, and now they are comparable to a fourth-level army of a thousand people. The supply and selection of their equipment has the highest priority among all the armies in the entire Principality of the Void, because this guard is now not just responsible for the guarding of the Black Swan Castle, they are also built by William for Sean. pro-guard.

Void shadows.

In the study on the second floor of Black Swan Castle, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

From this position, you can see the vestibule of the entire Black Swan Castle, the outer city wall and the mountainside. When the afternoon sun shines and sets. Through this window, most of the study room is illuminated, which greatly improves the brightness of the whole study room.

Cecilia stood behind this window at this moment, staring at the scenery outside the window.

The sun shone on her body, making her golden hair even more brilliant, as if bathed in divine light.

Today's Cecilia is no longer the ignorant little girl back then. After experiencing a series of things, Cecilia's growth rate is extremely fast, it can even be said to be amazing,

In particular, her political and military talents have been tapped to the limit by Neil and William—in the past year. Cecilia participated in almost all military and political discussions related to the Principality of the Void.

Especially in the discussion and decision of some major issues, both William and Neil will give the final decision to Cecilia. It's up to her to decide.

Because all followers in Sean's inner circle know very well that Cecilia is the most irreplaceable person in Sean's mind. So in the Void Principality where Sean is not present, Cecilia's identity is like a hostess in control of the overall situation. certainly. Her ability did not disappoint, the entire Principality of the Void was in the year when Sean left. It has been flourishing at a steady and rapid pace.

Especially when it comes to diplomatic affairs with the Wild Federation, Cecilia's decisions and actions are even more impeccable.

The Savage Federation plan formulated by Sean at the beginning. It was just a prototype, and his consideration was to obtain an alliance of friendly cooperation with the twelve-seat council of the Wild Federation. However, this plan is based on mutual trust. If Sean is unable to satisfy the appetites of his parliamentary allies, the so-called alliance will appear to be unconstrained, and may even break down. .

As for Cecilia, in the past six months, her main goal and direction has been to deepen her influence on the Wild Federation.

Among the twelve-seat parliament in the wild, under Cecilia's strong intervention and meddling, five seats have now sworn allegiance to the Principality of the Void—it is the Principality of the Void, not Cecilia herself. Although on this point, Cecilia and Clover have serious differences. According to Clover's thinking, Cecilia's contribution to the Duchy of the Void is understandable, but in terms of the policy of the Wild Federation, Clover He thinks that Cecilia has to think about herself, especially to prepare for the restoration of the country in the future, so these wild tribes should swear allegiance to Cecilia, not the Duchy of the Void.

Everyone knows that the Duchy of the Void will only be Sean's word, even in the absence of Sean, Cecilia has the identity of the hostess and the authority to match it, but this principality will not be Cecilia after all. of.

But Cecilia still chose to ignore Clover's advice.

There are five members of the Savage Council who have pledged their allegiance, including the Wild Winter Tribe commanded by Tryndamere, the Wall Tribe commanded by the old werewolf who sent his daughter to study in the Void Principality, Ataba Heavy Hammer and the blood-eyed goblin Ka There are five tribes including the Chiyan tribe formed by the merger of Ross, the Eye of the Storm tribe commanded by Saluoqi Xuefeng, and the Rossi tribe led by Kruma and Cruz.

As for the two dwarf tribes of Bronzebeard and Iron Anvil, although they did not swear allegiance, their most important mineral resources were firmly grasped by the Duchy of the Void. Unless a more powerful foreign force intervenes, it is impossible for these two tribes to turn against the Duchy of the Void. Even in the Union Parliament. These two are also staunchly Void factions, so do they actually pledge allegiance. It's completely unimportant.

As for the remaining five seat tribes, the Great Drum Tribe, Lionheart King Tribe, Eagle Tribe, Stone Hammer Tribe, and Hadex Tribe, the first three tribes have also seemed a little shaken under Cecilia's offensive recently— — This kind of wavering does not simply refer to the wavering of the will of the tribal chief, but the loosening of beliefs within the entire tribe.

The reason for this is that after the Mandong tribe formally swore allegiance to the Void Principality, they received a series of important support from the Void Principality, including scientific research forces, mineral resources, a large amount of food and seeds, and even The training of commanders and so on.

You know, in all the savage tribes. The Manwinter tribe can only be regarded as a toddler who has just learned to walk. But now, within a year, this toddler has become a behemoth that can sit side by side with the four barbarian tribes——in the competition formed by all the barbarians in the wilderness a few months ago , the Manwinter tribe became the well-deserved gods in the hearts of all the barbarian tribes in the entire barbarian land except for the four major tribes, with their terrible results of being the champions of the whole competition.

Originally, among the barbarian tribes, in terms of individual combat power, the War Drum tribe is undoubtedly the strongest, and the champion of group combat has always been born only between the Lionheart King and the Eagle tribe. In terms of the display of totem and witchcraft It is firmly controlled by the Stone Hammer tribe. As for many other events such as horse racing, hunting, positional warfare, etc., they are only produced in this big tribe. But this year's competition. All the event champions were all won by the Mandong tribe. It would be a ghost if the four major tribes were not shocked.

So when the competition ended, except for the Stonehammer tribe, the other three tribes and the Duchy of the Void became closer in an instant.

at this time. It was Cecilia's rare rest time.

In recent times, Cecilia's sleep time has been compressed to just four hours a day, sometimes even less. certainly. This is not to say that she has endless business affairs, but after normal business affairs are handled. She also set a very strict training time for herself, Cecilia did not want to give up her unique talents and abilities. And the achievements of the lower sanctuary obviously cannot satisfy Cecilia.

From the lower sanctuary to the middle sanctuary and then to the upper sanctuary, the improvement of these three realms does not depend on the degree of accumulation of a person. The improvement of the sanctuary realm is not like the accumulation of fighting energy in the silver realm or the condensation of fighting energy in the gold realm, but depends on a person's ability to perceive and understand the laws.

In Miracle Continent, there are many people who spend their entire lives unable to break through to the middle sanctuary, but there are also many people who suddenly advance to the middle sanctuary or even the upper sanctuary on a certain day. What's more, in just one or two years after entering the lower sanctuary, they directly broke through to the middle sanctuary, or even the upper sanctuary.

It can be said that the length of time to improve the realm of the sanctuary is the true interpretation of "genius".

But Cecilia has been stuck in the lower sanctuary for more than a year, but she still can't become the middle sanctuary, which makes her a little confused. It is precisely because of this confusion that Cecilia tried to seek opportunities for epiphany through other means, so she officially intervened in all affairs of the Duchy of the Void, but her rest time would naturally be greatly shortened. .

William and Hela had expressed their concerns and deliberately did not discuss with Cecilia. But I couldn't bear the fact that this beautiful woman who has grown up to be so beautiful would go to the Void City to find William and Hela, or even just stay in the meeting room. Both William and Hela expressed their disapproval for this Helpless, so I had to strictly negotiate the rest time.

The four-hour rest time was already the result of Hela and William after a whole day of bargaining.

In this regard, Hella once said that if Cecilia was exhausted because of this, would Sean kill them both?

After thinking about it for a minute, William said that Hela might be able to survive, but he might be in bad luck.

Therefore, Hella continued to arrange tasks for Cecilia with peace of mind, but William looked particularly sad.

"Huh." Cecilia let out a soft breath, exhaled a breath of foul air, and then her face became rosy again, and her eyes became brighter, "The rest time is over.... Next, I will see what is going to be done. what's the job."

While talking, Cecilia turned around, then returned to the desk, and began to read the documents on the desktop.

Soon, a document bag with a red label caught Cecilia's attention.

The file bag was marked with a red seal with the word "confidential" written on it. Cecilia is sure that she has never seen this document before—all the documents on the desktop are escorted by special personnel from Void City. If there are special documents or confidential documents, then the shadow of the void will dispatch them personally Responsible for the delivery, and this time, there was no Void Shadow Guard in the escort of this batch of documents.

"Come out." Soon, Cecilia realized what was going on, so she said in a deep voice.

Located in a shadowed corner of the study, a blur suddenly appeared, and a figure walked out of it, came to Cecilia and knelt down on one knee.

"Who are you?" Cecilia looked at this young and strange face, "It seems that you are not in charge of Black Swan Castle."

Today's Void Realm intelligence network has completely covered the entire Void Principality, and even radiated to the surrounding area with this as the core. It is also because there are too many intelligences that need to be responsible for the Void Realm today, so new class authorities have been established internally, including the superiors and subordinates of each region, and of course there is also the overall person in charge of a region.

The Black Swan Castle is one of the two important areas of the Duchy of the Void, and now Cecilia is in charge of it in person. Naturally, she met the person in charge of this area at the first time, and also met all the subordinates under her command. But the person who calmly appeared in the castle in front of her was someone Cecilia had never seen before, so she would naturally ask who he was.

As for not attacking immediately, it is because it is impossible to enter the Black Swan Castle if it is not for the insiders of the void.

Although there are only 300 Void Shadows guarding the Black Swan Castle, in fact there is a special force of Void Dark Blades in the shadows responsible for intercepting and anti-assassination. And if someone wants to sneak in from the ground, then they will find even more terrifying things-Xina has now officially become a character who can be on her own, especially the ice spider queen who has a soul contract with her, and even more so with the black swan The underground of the castle is a lair, forming a terrifying underground world of spider lairs.

"I'm Spector." The young man kneeling in front of Cecilia said in a deep voice, "By the order of Lord Hela, bring a secret order... The second phase of the Void Empire plan has been successful. Do you want to Start the third phase of the plan?"
