Lord of War

Sean didn't want to go to the Lion King's Capital at all.

As the Grand Duke of the Principality currently vassalized by the Kingdom of Ryan, Sean must of course go to the capital of the Suzerain to express his condolences to the deceased King in person as a show of respect. But in terms of Xiao En's status today, even if he doesn't come, no one will dare to point fingers at him. Of course, it is also conceivable what will happen next.

What's more, Xiao En didn't want to be involved in the throne competition of the Ryan Kingdom at all.

Because it is imperative for the Void Principality to separate from the Ryan Kingdom, as long as the last minor problems of the tribes in the wild land are resolved, the Void Principality can successfully take over the ruling power of the wild land and officially become an empire—of course, this empire is the last It must be self-proclaimed at the beginning, and it must go through a series of trials before it can truly gain a foothold and become the eighth empire on the Miracle Continent, or... replace the position of one of the empires.

It is also because of this that no matter who becomes the next king of the Ryan Kingdom, the relationship between Sean and the other party cannot be much better.

In a sense, Sean wished that the third prince, Allan, who was an "evangelist" and claimed to bring happiness to women in the kingdom, would become king. Because of this, Sean will definitely be much happier when he turns his back on him one day in the future.

But in the end, under the attack of Hela, Neil and Diana, Xiao En stepped into this glorious city again.

It's just that the situation was different from what the Marquis of Floris had expected. Sean did not agree to the request of the Marquis of Floris, because he did not want to be involved in this dispute over the throne. For this, the Marquis of Floris could only express regret, and then chose to leave that afternoon - he may not know Sean well enough, but he is very clear about Sean's character: that is, once the Grand Duke does something If you decide, then there is no possibility of talking back.

Perhaps, for the Marquis of Floris, the only gain is that Sean guarantees that his position is absolutely neutral, and he will not take refuge in any of the three competitors.

This is the second time Sean has come to the capital of the Ryan Kingdom.

The last time was almost three years ago. As the biggest contributor to Ryan's war against Dabiang, Sean undoubtedly received the highest attention. It's just a pity that in the battle for rights and interests, the old-school nobles of Ryan are too short-sighted - of course, this cannot be blamed on them, after all, Sean is not only an outsider, but also has no background and history , so naturally some people will feel that they can share food from him.

It's a pity that Sean's counterattack was too strong, and the facts also proved that his piece of cake, which was regarded as fat by others, also broke the teeth of all those who tried to take a bite, and on the contrary made Sean This led to a higher pinnacle of power - the establishment of the Void Principality. The series of events that followed proved that Sean was a lunatic who acted recklessly, and he didn't care about the rules of the game among nobles at all.

Returning again after a lapse of three years, Sean's mentality is obviously completely different from before. Moreover, the ostentation was much lower-key than the one three years ago, but in terms of quality, it was even more terrifying than that one.

And when he came to Lion King Capital together with Sean, there was only the slayer warrior, Alexis, known as the taboo existence.

After the death of King Ingus Lane in the capital of Raidsin, all the colored flags in the entire city were put away and replaced by black and white royal flags—these flags use white as the background color , with the national emblem of the Kingdom of Lion depicted in black paint.

All the flags were rushed out overnight by the tailor shop in the capital, and then distributed to all the residents in the entire capital. During the following period, every household must hang this flag in front of their house , it was not allowed to be removed until a week after the funeral of His Majesty King Ingels Lane.

But even so, in the next year, no residents of the royal capital are allowed to hang any flags.

Standing outside the Evergreen Suspension Bridge, Sean looked up at the flag of Ryan flying above the city gate—the flag did not rise to the top, but dropped by half its height. In fact, after receiving the news of Ingus Ryan's death, all the territories in the Kingdom of Ryan and the two vassal duchies, namely Sean's Duchy of the Void and Asuna's Duchy of Garrod, also lowered their flags to half-mast. respect.

"This city is full of decay, and even the gods don't want to look at it." Alexis stood beside Xiao En, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and her voice revealed an unconcealable disgust. "Is this the capital of a country?... I am very surprised that such a kingdom has not yet fallen and perished."

As Alexis who often deals with gods, she naturally has her own keen perception, so she is indeed qualified to make this kind of comment. Even though her words and remarks are so direct that it is easy to be unacceptable, but this kind of domineering comes from her powerful strength--powerful strength has made Alexis develop a wanton and unscrupulous attitude. Zhang Yang, so she doesn't know what politeness is at all.

Sean didn't know how to deal with Alexis's outspoken comments other than keeping silent. Because he knew very well that if he hadn't intervened, the Principality of Ryan would not have become a kingdom so quickly, and Ingus Ryan would not have died at this time—at least, at the moment when Xiao En came to this world from the game era , Ryan, who annexed Dabion, is still a principality vassalized by the Millennium Covenant Empire, and the Grand Duke is still Ingels Ryan.

"Alas." Sean sighed softly, "The desire for power has completely lost the people in this city. The rancid stench emanating from them has completely corroded this city, and the former glory and holiness are far from here."

"You can see it quite clearly." Alexis pouted, "If that's the case, why are you here?"

"I'm not like you, I can be unrestrained." Sean turned to look at Alexis, his eyes were very sincere, which moved Alexis slightly, "There are too many people around me. people. Even if I don't think of myself, I must think of them. . . . This is my duty as a lord."

For the first time, Alexis took the lead to look away from Sean's face, then shrugged, and said, her voice was sweet and touching: "Anyway, after I set foot on the road to the top, I will never go again. Thinking about these boring things. The only thing I know is that as long as my sword is sharp enough, it will be able to tear through any conspiracy, and no one can stand in front of me.... There is only one person who can block my way forward The reason is that I'm not strong enough, that's all."

"Am I not... strong enough?" Sean murmured.

There was a sound of fast horses galloping on the road, and along with the sound of galloping horseshoes, there were bursts of shouts: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! This is the Fearless, Lorenda Sir Marquis Si's carriage! Get out of the way!"

As if he was afraid that he would not know that the person sitting in the carriage was a big man, the coachman raised his whip to let the carriage gallop, and shouted with all his strength.

This driver is not very old, about twenty-five or six years old, his own strength is not bad, almost has the strength realm of the upper silver peak, seems to have touched the edge of gold, and wants to break through gold. is just around the corner. However, if it was during the Principality of Ryan, such a young man could be called talented enough, but after annexing the Kingdom of Dabion and absorbing the luck of this kingdom, a young man like this really cannot be called talented up.

However, thanks to the fact that the driver was a master who was hitting the Golden Realm road, he could start roaring warnings from a long distance away, which also gave enough time for all pedestrians on the road to react. After hearing the voice, many civilians hurried to both sides of the road and let the middle road out, because they knew very well what would happen if they fought against the nobles.

And some aristocrats who believed that they had a little bit of strength and background, also chose to avoid it after hearing the name of "Fearless". At this time, many nobles who came to the capital to mourn were just local nobles with a small territory, and their titles were not high, so no matter in terms of family strength or background, they were far inferior to the strength of this titled Noble, let alone a Marquis.

Among the six ranks of duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, and honor in the knighthood system of the Kingdom of Ryan, the marquis is already the highest-level title, let alone a powerful marquis. So even those knights who were stronger than the roaring coachman or the followers and guards of the noble lords all chose to back down under the lord's signal to avoid any conflict with this powerful marquis.

"Fearless, Lorendas..." Xiao En rubbed his chin, carefully thinking about the origin and identity of this nobleman in his mind.

Since he and Asuna withdrew from the ranks of the dukes of the Ryan Kingdom and were officially promoted to the Grand Dukes of the vassal states of the Ryan Kingdom, there were only five enfeoffed dukes left in the Kingdom of Ryan, and they were all extremely powerful dukes. However, it is said that in the past three years, King Ingus Lane has conferred the titles of three dukes successively, two of which are false titles without land and official positions, and one has no land but has official titles. Officially the Duke of the Real Power of the Royal Capital.

After these dukes, there were as many as dozens of marquises awarded in the new round, but most of them did not have fiefdoms or official positions, and were just false titles. However, there are also some mainstays of the kingdom with real talents and strengths, such as the Fearless. Lorendas is one of them. It is said that his title "Fearless" came from an Eastern World of Warcraft about a year and a half ago. In the disaster incident, he led a mob of militias and mercenaries to resist the invasion of those monsters and obtained it.

The name of this title means "fearless, not afraid of sacrifice".

But Sean didn't believe this. The only thing he knew was that the Lord Marquis was an enemy who stood against Sean—this was a lord who supported the Marquis of Briargrass. To put it simply, this emerging powerful lord has been Sean's enemy from the very beginning, and there can be no friendly side between the two parties.

"Get out of the way! Those two guys in front!" The coachman yelled again, because he saw that Sean and Alexis not only did not give way, but stood on the path of his carriage. It was a naked provocation, "The one sitting in the car is the Fearless, Lord Lorendas Marquis!"

This is a carriage painted black all over. Although it is impossible to tell what kind of material the body is made of, it shouldn't be too shabby. The steps of the carriage are plated with a layer of silver, the guards on the box door are plated with gold, the surrounding of the carriage is made of a circle of silver frame, and a beautifully shaped magic lamp hangs on the corner of the edge. The driver's seat is also covered with soft calfskin.

It seems that luxury is revealed everywhere, but the whole carriage does not look vulgar, on the contrary, there is a restrained and low-key glory.

Pulling the cart are four tall horses, and they are also well-trained military horses. Judging from the speed at which the carriage is galloping at this time, it will hit Sean and Alexis in about five seconds at most, and with the warlike factor flowing in the blood of a military horse, I am afraid After knocking Xiao En and others into the air, he will be even more excited to catch up with the trample.

The eyes of the civilians present all showed horror, and even the other nobles who were docked beside them also looked very scared. Some people even shouted for Sean to leave quickly, as if they felt that Sean and the others were so frightened that they stood there in a daze and did not dare to move.

Neither Sean nor Alexis moved, not that they were really freaked out or anything, but Sean was clearly trying to do something. So when Alexis looked at Sean and saw Sean nodding with a smile on his face, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"It's good to hurt people, don't kill people first." Sean seemed worried about Alexis's murderous character, so he hurriedly said, "Teach them a little lesson, just save face....Anyway, if I didn't guess If it is wrong, our trip to the capital will not be too peaceful."

"Okay." Although a little dissatisfied, Alexis reluctantly agreed after muttering.

At this time, the carriage had already arrived in front of Alexis.

No one dared to watch the bloody scene that followed, and many people even felt sorry for Alexis, a beautiful girl.

But in the next second, an exclamation erupted from the crowd.

A powerful airflow suddenly exploded, shaking the four horses rushing towards Alexis and flying them to the left and right. Immediately afterwards, the entire carriage also split apart—but it was not blown apart due to the pulling of a powerful force. Instead, it was divided into two symmetrical left and right halves as if cut across by a sharp sword. , the cross-section was astonishingly smooth, but it did not hurt the person sitting in the carriage.

However, compared to the coachman who fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time and could only make noises of struggle, the reaction of the middle-aged man sitting in the carriage was much quicker. Almost when the carriage split into left and right sides and flew out, he jumped up from it, and after a backflip, he landed firmly on the top, and the long swords worn on the left and right sides of his waist were already tightly held in both hands, with a face full of He looked solemnly at Alexis and Sean in front of him.

All the people present were dumbfounded looking at this dramatic change.

But then, there was another sound of horseshoes running, and a cavalry team of about twenty people finally appeared from the rear at this time, and then caught up and stopped behind the Marquis of Lorendas. After neighing for a while, the war horse came to a steady stop. Although the formation was a little scattered at first, it soon returned to normal. It can be seen that these cavalry are not negligent in training.

"Who are you!" Lorendas shouted in a deep voice, and the majesty of being a powerful marquis also burst out.

However, Sean did not make any response—in fact, since Sean became famous, black hair and black pupils are no longer his trademark. There are too many black-haired and black-eyed young people, which is why Lorendas didn't recognize Sean's identity immediately - but turned around and started walking towards the Evergreen Suspension Bridge, not minding his own The back is exposed under the eyes of Lorendas.

Such a contemptuous move naturally made this Marquis with extraordinary power and courage feel extremely angry.

"The cavalry is ready!" The Marquis immediately shouted.

The cavalry standing behind Lorendas quickly formed a wedge-shaped charge, unaware of the powerful gap between the two sides. And their actions naturally aroused the extreme dissatisfaction of Alexis. She cut open the carriage of the carriage with a sword just now but did not hurt Lorendas in the slightest. But I never thought that these guys would be so ignorant, so naturally Alexis would not plan to show mercy.

"Stop!" Just as Alexis was about to start killing, an angry shout suddenly sounded from the wall of the Evergreen Suspension Bridge, rolling like thunder, "This is the time when the king is resting, whoever If you dare to strike again, don’t blame me for being ruthless under the sword!"

When everyone looked up, they saw a middle-aged man suspended in mid-air with a majestic and angry expression on his face. It was obvious that he was not joking.

"It's Lord Wengers Wilwach, the strong man of the town!"

Someone has already recognized the identity of this middle-aged man standing in the air.

Lorendas' eyes flickered slightly, and he saluted respectfully before saying, "Master Wengers, I..."

"I know what you did." Wengers, the strong man of the Ryan Kingdom, shouted in a deep voice, just a word and a look made Lorendas completely shut up, and he didn't dare to speak again.

Then the strong man who is still at the peak of the upper sanctuary slowly turned his head to look at Sean, but when he felt that Xiao En's strength was already in the middle sanctuary, his pupils were still barely noticeable Shrunk for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "His Excellency, Grand Duke Void, now the king has been called by God to step into the presence of God's kingdom. This is his last peaceful period in the world. I hope you can restrain yourself a little bit." .”

Wengers' words were like dropping a magic bomb on the lake, which instantly aroused the shock of everyone on the road outside the Evergreen Suspension Bridge. And Lorendas, who was forced to retreat by Alexis just now, felt ashamed and indignant, his face turned pale at this time. He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if it wasn't for the sudden appearance of Wengers, the strong man from the town. Such an end - at least for now, he or the forces behind him are not yet ready to start another war with Xiao En, the Grand Duke of the Void.

"I've always been very restrained." Sean said lightly, and glanced at Lorendas out of the corner of his eye, as if he had noticed Sean's gaze, this fearless man was nothing like "Fearless, not afraid" "Sacrificing", but shivering like a quail, "But the premise is that no one will provoke me, otherwise I don't mind repeating what I did three years ago."

Hearing Xiao En's arrogant voice, Wengers, the strong man who is only loyal to the kingdom, seemed to want to say something to refute, or to dampen Xiao En's spirit, but before he could say anything, he felt a wave A sharper murderous intent locked on his body. When Wengers took a closer look, he found that the murderous intent came from the black-haired woman who followed Sean, and Wengers also had an intuition that he was definitely not the woman's opponent.

As soon as this idea came up, Wengers felt a shock in his heart.

But Sean didn't pay attention to what Wengers, the strong man in the country, was thinking. Since he had said what he wanted to say and what he should say, he continued to move forward. This time, let alone queuing, no one dared to stand in front of Sean. Everyone wished to stay away from Xiao En, the Grand Duke of Void, for fear that he would accidentally become the target of his anger— — After all, none of the people present had stepped into the sanctuary realm, so they couldn't realize the crisis when Wengers and Sean confronted just now, so in their view, Sean was overpowered by Wengers, the town. Those who cut face.

According to the understanding of the nobles, the higher the status, the more people will want to find a punching bag to vent their face, so at this time, naturally no one wants to send it to the door to act as that punching bag. Even though almost all of these people present want to have a good relationship with Xiao En, the Grand Duke of the Void, they will never choose now, but have already begun to think of ways to knock on the door of Xiao En's reception room after entering the city. The door is closed.

As the strife in front of the Evergreen Suspension Bridge began to spread to the capital, the news of Xiao En, the Grand Duke of Void, entering the city naturally became more and more mysterious. And some old people in the capital can't help but recall that three years ago, the Grand Duke of Void seemed to enter the city so forcefully—the two times he entered the capital were almost exactly the same, but the last time he saw blood, but this time It was for the sake of the king's death, so no blood was seen.

As for Sean's arrival, there are naturally some people who are happy and some people are sad, and there are even all kinds of vicious curses.
