Lord of War

A terrible shock broke out in the west of Robin Knightland.

A nephew of Prince Lorne died on the way to the Sun God Festival. It is said that this nephew is one of the most famous geniuses in the Prince Lorne family. His death has already suffered two years ago The family of Prince Lorne, who had been hit once, brought another heavy blow. And not only that, the other noble teenagers who went to the Illoran Sun God Martial Arts Festival with the family of Prince Lorne were all killed one after another.

All the corpses were beheaded by a sword.

This crisp and neat way of death also made the investigation difficult, because it was impossible to identify who the murderer was. But the only thing that is certain is that these people should all have died at the hands of the same power organization—after all, these teenagers died in two different places, separated by about half a day's journey from each other. For simply impossible.

It is also because of this that the largest shock in history broke out in the western part of Robin Knightland.

However, taking advantage of this turmoil, Sean and Alexis also successfully left the Robin Knights Kingdom—by the time Prince Lorne ordered the blockade of all teleportation magic circles in the west, two days had passed . At this time, Sean and Alexis had already crossed the border of the Robin Knight Kingdom, and after another day's journey, Sean entered the northwest of the Kingdom of Ryan.

Because they successfully prevented the leak of the wind, and because Sean and Alexis kept a low profile along the way, they did not cause any trouble in the northwest of the Ryan Kingdom.

However, by the time Sean took Alexis back to the Principality of the Void, it was already the eighth day since he returned from the Great Floating Library.

This day happened to be the time when Kozilek solved Rattlesnake Uba and brought the information from Lake to Cecilia. Similarly, it was also the same day that William and Hasass officially launched an attack on the secret caravan.

The situation in the entire Southern Continent. It seems to be once again caught in the subtle atmosphere of turbulent waves.

Especially, after Sean returned to the Principality of the Void, what he heard was not good news. But another bad news.

At least for the current Principality of the Void, it is indeed a bad news.

The wise king of the Kingdom of Lane. Ingus Lane passed away.

This news was delivered by the Marquis Floris himself.

Because according to the rules, if the king dies, then all the nobles and lords must go to the capital to express their condolences. No matter how important things are going on at this time, even if they are in a state of war, they must stop rushing back to the capital to see them, otherwise they will die. considered treason.

But the Grand Duke of the Void Principality, Sean Connery, is definitely not a peaceful person.

In fact. No one knew what the Grand Duke was up to, nor did he know how to contact him once the Grand Duke left.

So when the Marquis of Flores sent the news to the Void Principality, not only the old king's secret envoy felt embarrassed, but even Neil and Hela, who was in charge of the Void Principality at this time, also felt embarrassed. Because they don't know how to contact Sean at all. After all, Sean is not like William, Hela, Neil, or even all the high-level figures in the entire Void Principality. Information transfer.

So, where everyone feels tricky—in fact,

If it weren't for William and Cecilia and others to set off. If the entire Void Principality is in an extremely weak military state at this time, even if Sean is not there, they will not care about these things. After all, the status and status of the Void Four Giants are already loud enough. It is enough for anyone to go to the capital to express their condolences. At that time, Xiao En's return was naturally something that made them feel very relaxed.

In a rather shady reception room, Sean met this false Marquis who was already very familiar with each other.

For a long time, the place where the Marquis of Floris and Sean met was in a meeting room that could be regarded as a formal occasion, but this time the meeting place was changed to the small living room of the master bedroom suite. This really made the Marquis of Floris Feel a little flattered. Because not everyone can enter this kind of extremely private master bedroom suite reception room, only those who are regarded by the bedroom owner as friends or relatively close people. It is possible to enjoy this kind of treatment.

Looking at the Marquis Floris who entered this reception room, he did not have the same calm appearance as before, but was a little cautious. Xiao En couldn't help laughing: "Lord Floris, I'm really not used to seeing you suddenly being so polite....Come and sit down, I heard Diana said that you walked in such a hurry that you didn't even There is no rest time, so drink a glass of our unique red maple wine first to moisten your throat."

Hearing Sean's words, Floris realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, walked to the bench opposite Sean and sat down, and then took a sip of the cup of sweet and sour red maple. The wine was drained in one gulp.

After letting out a sigh of satisfaction, Floris smiled and said: "I really lost my composure just now....Thanks to Your Excellency Sean for your hospitality."

"Is the current situation in the capital very chaotic?" Xiao En sighed, and then said straight to the point. At this time, he didn't know why he felt very physically and mentally exhausted, so he didn't want to continue to circle around here at all. He just wanted to Cut everything straight to the source and get rid of it.

Of course, if it was in the past, Sean would definitely not want to do this. But now, he already has enough strength, so he can choose the thinking and way of the strong to act according to his own wishes and rhythm, instead of relying on the way of relying on strength.

The Marquis of Floris was taken aback for a moment, with an expression on his face as if he didn't know Sean at all, because in his impression, Sean, the Grand Duke of the Void, was not such a direct person, but belonged to the Marquis of Floris' most Difficult types who don't want to deal with it. Of course, in fact, the Marquis of Floris has never really known Sean. After all, the Marquis of Floris and Sean have only had so few contacts, and every time they come and go in a hurry, there is no Private friendship exchange, otherwise Floris' gaffe just now would not have occurred.

Marquis Floris did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked at the third person in the room.

Alexis was standing on the side of the reception room, she didn't look very conspicuous, at least the breath on her body seemed very calm. Doesn't look like a strong man at all. And whether it is appearance or figure, it is in the memory of the Marquis of Floris. None of them can be compared with those women around Sean. If one must say that there is something different, it is that this woman has a very unique indifference.

That seems to be a kind of inherent arrogance, and there is probably nothing in this world that can attract her attention.

"This is Alexis, my guard." Sean knew what Floris was thinking, so he said, "She is absolutely trustworthy. So, Lord Floris, you don't need to avoid her at all. presence."

"Okay." After a moment of silence, Floris finally spoke. "As you said, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, the current situation in the capital...no, it should be said that the situation in the kingdom has become very chaotic....His Majesty the King has always been in good health before, but in just three months A few days ago, His Majesty the King suddenly fell ill, and then his body deteriorated very badly. A month and a half ago, His Majesty the King fell into a coma for a long time..."

"Assassination?" Sean raised his eyebrows. His tone was also a little lower.

The Marquis of Floris was still very uncomfortable with Xiao En saying this so directly, and he hesitated for a moment before continuing: "However, not many people know about it. His Majesty the King wanted to make a will to designate The heir to the kingdom. But... before the will was finished, His Majesty the King fell into a coma again, and it didn't take long for him to wake up. In the end... His Majesty the King could only rely on alchemy to maintain his life until ten Three days ago..."

Sean knew what he wanted to say without Floris finishing his sentence, so he started to complete the words for Floris: "Thanks to the call of the gods, go to the throne of God."

The Marquis of Floris nodded heavily, with an expression of indescribable sadness on his face.

from this point. It is not difficult to see that the private relationship between the monarch and his ministers should be regarded as good. Or rather. The Marquis of Floris is indeed a lonely minister who is very loyal to Ingels Lane, otherwise he would not be able to show such sincere sadness.

"Since there is no designated heir... I remember that among His Majesty's heirs, there seem to be some very good candidates." Sean pondered for a moment. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Then... the current situation in the kingdom is falling into internal friction among the heirs?"

"Almost." The Marquis of Flores said helplessly, "There are three heirs who are qualified to compete for the throne. His Royal Highness Adams, the eldest prince, has always been brave, and he won a brilliant victory in the northern part of the kingdom ten years ago. Afterwards, it has great influence in the minds of the northern lords, and this time His Royal Highness Adams returned to the capital with a group of northern lords."

Sean was not familiar with the so-called princes and princesses of the Ryan Kingdom, but he had heard Asuna mention the name of the eldest prince Adams.

His Royal Highness does have extraordinary bravery, he is not a genius in himself, and he has just stepped into the realm of the lower sanctuary now that he is over 30. This is because Ryan annexed Darbion, The phenomenon of "outstanding talents" was formed after swallowing its national fortune together. Although Sean can't understand this phenomenon, the Miracle Continent does have a unique set of rules and regulations, which is the real reason why it is difficult for a big country to be replaced by a small country—at least until the so-called "national fortune" does not decay. Those big countries do have very unique luck.

Therefore, after Ryan annexed Dabiang and upgraded it to a first-class kingdom, the Kingdom of Ryan did give many gold powerhouses who had been stuck in the bottleneck and unable to break through the limit a chance to be promoted. In today's Ryan Kingdom, there are more than 50 strong people with the sanctuary level, and nearly a dozen of them have the strength of the upper sanctuary—but many of them flowed in from other countries and were competed by various noble families. Xiang hired as a guest.

The eldest prince Adams stepped into the realm of the lower sanctuary at the age of thirty. He can't be called a genius, but he can't be called a mediocrity either. In addition, his military accomplishments can also be called very good. Although he is not ranked among the top generals, there are rumors that he can at least squeeze into the top 80 in the next five years.

"Then what about the second one?" Sean filtered the information from His Royal Highness in his mind. Then he asked.

"It's the third prince Arlan." The Marquis of Floris sighed helplessly, as if he was quite ashamed to say this name.

"The Allan who is known as the evangelist?" Sean was also a little dazed.

Evangelist, this title sounds like a powerful look. But in fact it is a nickname with a serious derogatory nature.

His Royal Highness is twenty-five years old this year, but not only has no magical talent. He doesn't even know anything about imperial academics such as martial arts, military strategy, and territorial management. Instead, he is excellent in art appreciation, food appreciation, and social skills. If it's just like this, it's fine, at least the ability of diplomacy can also allow the prince to obtain a good social status. According to Xiao En's understanding, this prince is one of the five foreign envoys of the Kingdom of Ryan with official status. one.

However, His Royal Highness, relying on his excellent diplomatic skills, art appreciation, food appreciation, and his handsome appearance inherited from the elf mother, mixed in the beds of all the ladies and ladies in the entire royal capital. It is also because of this that His Royal Highness is known as the "Evangelist" in the circle of these ladies and ladies. Appeared on the same occasion as Prince Arlan.

Of course, in the past few years, Wangdu has indeed been grateful for the prince's departure for a long time. It is said that the reason why this bohemian prince left the capital was because he was caught in bed with his wife by a powerful marquis, so in order to save his own life, this prince had no choice but to escape from the royal capital in embarrassment. All—even if the powerful marquis passed away later, the prince of Arlan would not be able to come back, because too many nobles did not welcome him.

But this time, because of the death of Ingus Lane. So no matter whether the nobles in the capital are willing or not, the prince has already returned.

According to Marquis Flores, the day the third prince Arlan returned. All the noble ladies and noble ladies in the entire capital were so excited that they threw flowers for it, and the people who didn't know it thought it was some knight or hero who had returned in triumph. But those people and nobles who knew about it wished for him to die suddenly on the spot—but judging from the physique of a half-elf, it is probably impossible for His Royal Highness to die suddenly.

"Why would His Royal Highness be a contender for the throne?" Sean couldn't understand at all, "There shouldn't be any nobles supporting him, right?"

"The nobles in the capital will indeed not support him." Marquis Floris smiled wryly, "but most of the nobles staying in the capital are like me."

Hearing the Marquis of Flores say this, Sean generally understood it.

Most of the nobles who hated him just had a false title, and in fact they couldn't make any troubles about the government. And those nobles who have a certain right to speak may hate this nobleman. But in the face of absolute interests, they don't mind tolerating some absurd things done by the prince, and even Xiao En dares to guarantee it. There are probably many powerful nobles who want to marry their daughters to Allan and push Allan to the throne.

"Then our evangelist, which family did His Royal Highness Arlan enter into a marriage relationship with?"

"Lord Sean, you are as sharp as ever." The Marquis of Floris said in a deep voice, "It is... the Marquis of Thorngrass, Sir Michael Ater. On the day when His Royal Highness Prince Arlan returned, this Marquis and Allan The prince announced together that as early as a few years ago, His Royal Highness had hit it off with the seventh daughter of the Marquis of Briargrass, but because of some accidents, His Royal Highness had to leave the capital temporarily. He was planning to get married today, but unexpectedly, His Majesty suddenly They were called by the Lord’s grace, so they unanimously decided to wait three years before getting married.”

"Those guys are really not smart enough to learn." Sean sneered, "I don't need to think about it, I know that the Marquis of Briargrass must not let go of the original hatred."

"Although it may not be appropriate for me to say this, the core families of the so-called Senai nobles in the past have regrouped under the banner of the thorn grass." The Marquis of Floris sighed, "Since the chaos that year..." Buddha The Marquis of Loris carefully observed Sean's expression, and saw that Sean didn't say anything, so he continued: "...After that, the nobles in Seine completely fell apart, and no one dared to provoke your Excellency the Grand Duke. Majesty. But now, because of His Royal Highness Prince Arlan's declaration, there are more people with ulterior motives."

"I'm guessing, it must include the families that I eradicated during the Bad Blood Project." Sean sneered, "Maybe there are also some offshoots of the families that survived when I was revenged by the Blood Banner. of the color."

Marquis Floris did not speak, but his silence was actually a kind of tacit consent.

Xiao En snorted coldly with disdain: "A bunch of jumping clowns."

Today's Sean really doesn't need to be afraid of these former political enemies and enemies anymore, because he has two superpowers, Kozilek and Alexis, under his command. As long as they make a move, even if Ryan Kingdom mobilizes the whole country, it will not be enough for these two superpowers to crush. Of course, the loss of the Principality of the Void may not be too light, but the price that the Kingdom of Ryan needs to pay for this may be the subjugation of the country.

It's just that, unless it's necessary, Sean doesn't want to reveal these two hole cards.

Because Sean knew that his real enemy was not in Ryan, but in the Millennium Covenant Empire, the Fascist Kingdom, and even the St. Joles Empire and the Principality of Renbeier. If he reveals his hole cards early, it will only make his enemies be wary, which is extremely unfavorable for future actions.

Especially in the case of the sudden sudden death of Ingus Lane, the king who had always been on the side of the Void Principality, Sean could almost imagine that this was another plot against the Void Principality planned by some conspirator. conspiracy. As for Prince Allan and Prince Adams, they just stepped onto the stage by chance and were just a disguise game for the throne contest.

Thinking of this, Sean quickly showed a smile, and said, "Master Floris, I was almost deceived by you."

Floris froze for a moment, then turned pale with shock: "His Royal Highness, you...what do you mean by your words?"

"As the closest confidant of His Majesty the King, I don't believe that His Majesty the King hasn't revealed or hinted to you who his ideal heir is." Xiao En smiled, his smile was indifferent, but there was also a hint of cunning, "With your support, I'm afraid this one is the third most powerful heir to the throne?...Lord Floris, you are indeed a loyal minister, but it seems that you are still a bit lacking in being a lobbyist. "

"No, your Excellency the Grand Duke, you are too wise."
