Lord of War

The Principality of the Void, since the revenge of the Blood Banner more than a year ago, has had a very terrible shadow for many nobles in the Ryan Kingdom. 『≤, especially those lords who live next to the Duchy of the Void, they are even more frightened. As soon as they see signs of major moves by the Duchy of the Void, they don’t hurry to send envoys to communicate. The army of the Principality of the Void was wiped out.

This is the sorrow of the weak.

In fact, the commoners aspired to become nobles and worked hard. But after actually becoming an aristocrat, you will find that the so-called aristocratic world is not as beautiful as they imagined. It is still a game where big fish eat fish, but compared to the naked humiliation of civilians, there will be at least more people in the aristocratic world. It's just a fig leaf. Of course, the game of big fish eating fish among the nobles is more cruel than the bullying among ordinary people.

But the Principality of the Void is different.

Xiao En's code of conduct never considered the so-called "fig leaf", and he didn't even bother with the so-called "rules of the game among nobles". For this grand duke, what he does depends entirely on his mood—like blood flag revenge, originally this kind of thing can only be a relative or a blood relationship, but Xiao En chooses to do it for a person who has no blood relationship, and is still A barbarian from the north who was born as a slave did this, and many nobles complained that Xiao En just wanted to take advantage of the situation and rob him.

But so what?

Sean didn't care about that, he just wanted to avenge An Nuo, so he led everyone to revenge.

After this battle, the Principality of the Void has become completely famous.

But basically, it also made many forces understand the strength of the Duchy of the Void - except for the Wings of Condemnation that was secretly hidden and the Silver Temple Legion obtained from the wild land, the Duchy of the Void's existing military strength , legion number, famous generals, famous and powerful people, etc. Everything is tantamount to being completely public.

This kind of thing has advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is. Let many nobles clearly know the gap with the Duchy of the Void, before they have this strength and background. Don't go overboard and find trouble with the Principality of the Void, that is simply not an opponent they can contend with. And this is also the reason why many nobles did not directly provoke the Void Principality after knowing that Xiao En was not in the Void Principality through their different information channels.

Just four words are no match.

Of course, it wasn't that no one wanted to provoke those followers while Sean was away, trying to cause a civil strife or usurp power. But what makes all the nobles extremely helpless is that few of the secret guests who were sent out to provoke them came back alive—Shaun's followers simply didn't bother to pay attention to what these guests were thinking.

Or who sent it.

Be nicer. Just let them go.

And those with a bad temper, such as Alfred and Abaza, just killed people one after another.

Of course, there was also a smiling response, and then turned around and followed the clues to uproot the spies that these people had spent a lot of effort and cost in the Principality of the Void. Typical representatives of this category are the Big Three of the Void, William, Neil, and Hela.

However, in this kind of thing, there are not no people with ulterior motives, but basically they are some low-level people who can't make any troubles. And the only one who can turn the tide is Clover, but unfortunately the person he swore eternal allegiance to is Cecilia who is the least likely to betray Sean, so it doesn't matter whether he instigates rebellion against Clover. Because all the followers under Sean's command—even Clover himself knew very well that as long as he dared to rebel or force Cecilia into the palace, then Cecilia would dare to kill.

Faced with such impregnable loyalty and belief, no matter how powerful the customer is, he can draw the most perfect blueprint for the future. It is also completely useless.

As for the disadvantages brought about by the battle of blood flag revenge, it is that many major forces have finally updated the information on the Duchy of the Void in more detail. This makes them aware of the gap, and at the same time, if they want to take action against the Principality of the Void in the future. Naturally, there will be more detailed and perfect combat plans and targeted actions. It can be said that this time the Void Principality took the initiative to expose its weaknesses.

But this weakness. But it has not been enlarged.

Because in terms of intelligence investigation and anti-reconnaissance, the Principality of the Void has the realm of the Void. Its level can already be called the imperial level.

Therefore, in addition to the information that has been exposed by the Duchy of the Void, it is very difficult to obtain information about the Principality of the Void from other sources. Especially after Sean Hastings' betrayal and William's attack, the Duchy of the Void has strengthened its intelligence work at the grassroots level. Therefore, if you want to infiltrate the Duchy of the Void to obtain information, you can't have it for more than ten years. harvested.

So in a sense, the Principality of the Void is always in an invincible position.

It is also because of this that if there is any disturbance in the Void Principality, which is powerful, profound, mysterious, and where the strong gather, the surrounding lords will be informed of the news as soon as possible, and the matter will be listed as the highest priority. They don't want the territory that their ancestors fought so hard to get lost in their hands inexplicably-even though the Void Principality is now fighting with the surrounding lords, the Void Principality cannot invade the territory of the Kingdom of Ryan, but there is no Nobles are willing to experience a war for no reason.

However, the work of negotiating with the outside world is not under Xiao En's control.

Diana's role lies in this - Cecilia, the real person in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in name, has already left all the work to Diana long after Sean came back. Therefore, the task of receiving those envoys would naturally be in charge of and arranged by Diana, but the Marquis of Floris, who brought the king's confidant, Diana naturally could not compare him with others, but had to treat him extra.

This was also the first time that Diana was truly in charge of receiving a big person like the Marquis of Floris on her own.

However, as more and more high-level figures of the Void Principality arrived at the Black Swan Castle, an extremely heavy atmosphere began to pervade the sky over the Void Principality.

It's just that Sean didn't attend the battle plan meeting to rescue Leis and aid Hasass this time. Because he felt that he really didn't need to show his face. Therefore, Cecilia and William were in charge of the affairs. Originally, Diana was supposed to attend this meeting, but there was a commotion because of Sean's return. So Diana had to deal with the envoys.

This also means that Diana can finally remove the word "acting" from "Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs". It won't be long. The fourth giant of the Void Principality will soon become a figure who must pay close attention to the forces of the Void Principality, just like William, Neil, Hela and others.

As for the battle plan, in fact, as early as the night William arrived at Black Swan Castle, he had already discussed with Cecilia a general framework.

At the meeting, what William needed to do was to fill in other details into this framework based on the additional information provided by Hassas. For these matters, William's experience is definitely richer than that of anyone in the entire Duchy of the Void, so Sean has no reason to show up and point fingers.

Perhaps it was because Hassas attached great importance to this operation. So the discussion plan went very smoothly, and almost all the details were finalized within a day. Of course, William will definitely not disclose the matter of rescuing Rais to Hassas, but because Nolo, who is guaranteed by Sean, will definitely join William and Kozilek's shot, so in terms of dispatching the strong, William naturally Nor did he haggle over every ounce with Hassas.

Hasass will send two Sanctuary strongmen to join the battle, but as he said, he is not good at military strategy, so except for temporarily hiring a legion that is almost equivalent to the level of a third-level army. There are no other supplementary troops.

William, on the other hand, dispatched Cecilia's Guards led by Clover and Alfred's Thunder Lion, and also let the Scarlet Knights follow secretly so that they could provide support at any time—this support. Not just against the Thunder Lion and Cecilia's Guards, but also against the secret operation team that rescued Rais. As for the strong followers of the army, there were also two strong warriors from the sanctuary fighting. They are Harding and Nolo.

As for the secret operation team to rescue Leis, it was led by Cecilia. On the team are Rena and Kozilek. It was originally planned to draw personnel from the Wings of Conviction and the Scarlet Knights, but after a series of discussions and discussions. Cecilia finally gave up on this method. A team composed of strong men will have higher mobility and combat effectiveness, especially Wings of Conviction and Scarlet Knights. Obviously, it can't play a real role.

All actions will be finalized soon.

During the whole process, Sean didn't show up, because besides constantly adjusting his sanctuary ability, he was also making some other preparations.

The Great Floating Library is a world located at an altitude of several thousand meters. Although it is protected by a magic shield, the fertility of the Great Floating Library is actually relatively low because of the high-altitude air pressure and many other factors. But in contrast, the residents living in the floating library all have strong endurance, and their adaptability is much higher than any creature in the land boundary.

The training Sean is doing is a set of adaptation training specially designed by Andrew for his physique to ensure that Sean can perform normally after going to the floating library.

So these days, Sean basically spends most of his time with Andrew, and Cecilia will come to accompany Sean only when he is free.

"If there is no accident, we will leave tonight. Aren't you going to accompany that girl?" Andrew asked Sean while he was dealing with the food in front of him at the dining table.

It was lunch time, but Cecilia and William had other things to deal with, so they didn't come to eat. Cecilia wanted to come to dinner, but William didn't let him go. Considering the importance of Leis to William, Cecilia was reluctant to leave the conference room after all, and the participants still There were Alfred, Dwight, Cloverina and others, so their lunch was naturally sent to the meeting room.

"After everything is done, I have plenty of time to accompany me, so don't be in a hurry." Xiao En smiled, but he was quite open-minded, "...I'm sorry for dragging your time."

"Don't worry about these things." Andrew smiled lightly and shook his head, "Take it as a gift from me."

"Okay." Sean smiled, and didn't continue to focus on this topic.

He and Andrew are both from the same world, so in this lonely different world, some things don't need to be too clear and understand. Just like the gift that Andrew gave at this time, although there is no clear what this gift refers to, Sean knows that it is a gift that Andrew is about to part with—probably Andrew also wants to get in touch with fellow villagers, because during this time, Xiao En En found that what Andrew was asking about was all about the age of the earth long ago.

Inferred from this point, Sean guessed that when Andrew left the earth, it was probably on a certain day in 2016. Unfortunately, Sean could not deduce the exact date. The time Sean traveled through was 202, that is, Andrew left the earth sixty-six years earlier than him.

Afterwards, the two chatted casually about other things.

But in general, they are basically things that revolve around the earth, and only the two of them know about them—of course, for Sean, many of them are actually considered history or antiques. But fortunately, he has a wide range of interests, and is also very interested in ancient history and modern history of the earth, so he was able to communicate with Andrew, otherwise, the conversation between the two would have been silent for many times.

In this slightly lively atmosphere, Bei Si suddenly knocked on the door and entered.

"Coming?" Andrew turned his head and glanced at Bess, who nodded slightly.

There was a little doubt in Xiao En's eyes. He didn't quite understand what Andrew meant by coming.

"Let's go." Andrew got up and smiled at Sean, "Let's go out and have a look."

"Look?" The doubts on Sean's face became more apparent, but he did not reject Andrew's kindness, but got up and followed Andrew out of the Black Swan Castle. Of course, he still asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Gift." Andrew laughed. "Basically, each of us has prepared a gift.... You have received the gift that Enkos gave you. And I gave it to you when I came back with you." A gift...Beth's gift will probably take a while, but this gift is given to you by Hercules."

"Heracles!?" Sean was taken aback for a moment before he realized it.

His devil egg is still in the hands of Hercules! (To be continued..)
