Lord of War

After the demon god's invasion known as the "Demonic Disaster in the King's Capital", Ingus Lane immediately hired workers to repair the Kingdom's Seventh Avenue. This avenue has always been known as Noble Street, because almost all the nobles in the entire capital are rooted here, so when His Majesty King Ingels wanted to repair this extremely damaged avenue, these nobles also ruthlessly out of a force.

Of course, according to the Marquis of Flores, His Majesty the King should have blackmailed them severely. However, in return, His Majesty the King also acquiesced in the renovations carried out by these nobles when they rebuilt their houses-it is said that many nobles decorated the interior of their houses more brilliantly than the palace, which was originally forbidden. But for the sake of being extorted a large amount of money by His Majesty the king, the wise king turned a blind eye.

At the same time that Elizabeth knocked on Sean's door, a carriage was speeding along the Seventh Avenue of the Kingdom, but stopped halfway along the road.

A huge iron gate with a width of five meters was right on the side of the stopped carriage.

In the center of the iron gate is a silver disc, on which a thorn wrapped around a dead wood is engraved in relief. The surroundings of the thorn and the dead wood are full of green, which looks like a meadow.

This is the family crest of the At family: thorn grass.

The family crest used by the patriarch of the first Aite family is a green field, implying the tenacity and indelibility of the family. However, when the third patriarch took over, this family brought disaster to the family because of a jealous behavior, so that the Ait family was almost exterminated because of this, and then experienced the fourth and fifth patriarchs. After working hard, the Aite family really entered the circle of nobles in the royal capital, but at that time the Kingdom of Ryan had been downgraded to a principality.

But the Aite family did make indelible and outstanding contributions in the Great Patriotic War, so King Ryan at that time allowed the Aite family to add a thorn to their family emblem as a glory. It’s just that for the sake of the defeated country, this road of thorns cannot be added blatantly—in fact, after the kingdom of Ryan was downgraded to a principality, all nobles in the country with the pattern of thorns must wear this road, which symbolizes the glory of guarding. plucked of thorns.

Only the Aite family. In order to let his people remember this glory and shame forever, he redesigned the family crest, which is why it has the current pattern: thorn grass. The purpose is to let the clansmen always remember that the Aite family is a glorious family that never gives up. However, it has been passed down to the present, and there are not many young people in the Aite family who can still remember this ancestral motto.

Michael is obviously one of them.

But it is clear that the powerful Marquis, who has missed the title of duke many times, obviously used this tenacity in the wrong place.

The door of the slightly dilapidated carriage was quickly opened, and a middle-aged man with a hurried and embarrassed expression jumped out of the carriage. The main entrance of the Briargrass mansion was not opened. However, the side door was opened, and a heavily armed knight was standing beside the side door. The middle-aged man quickly trotted towards the side door. After he passed, the knight also closed the side door at the same speed, and then led the way ahead.

The knight leading the way did not choose to take the avenue, but advanced on some trails in the mansion. I don't know if it was because he was very familiar with the whole mansion, or because of other reasons, they didn't meet any servants along the way.

"That's it.

"The knight who led the way brought the middle-aged man to a dilapidated building that looked like a warehouse or something, and said in a low voice, "Master Marquis is waiting for you inside. Due to my duties, it is inconvenient for me to enter, please forgive me. "

"I see." The middle-aged man, who seemed a bit embarrassed, nodded slightly as a return to the knight, and then he stepped into the house.

The light in the house is not dim, on the contrary, it can even be said to be bright—although all the windows of the house are sealed, there are more than a dozen magic lamps in the house, and these magic lamps that emit soft light illuminate the whole house. It was shining like daytime, and the fragrance emanating from the room also made people feel refreshed—the middle-aged man sniffed his nose slightly, and then came to his senses. This delicate scent is an alchemical potion that keeps one's mind clear.

There were already two people sitting in the house at this time, one of them was the Marquis of Briargrass, Michael Ait.

But the person with his back to the door could not tell his identity. The only thing that can be seen is that this person has a head of brilliant golden hair.

The middle-aged man showed some doubts at first, but he quickly guessed the identity of this person, his face suddenly changed, and immediately half-kneeled on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Fearless Lorendas see Arlan Your Highness."

This slightly embarrassed middle-aged man was Marquis Lorendas the Fearless who was almost killed by Alexis' sword on the Evergreen Suspension Bridge before. Although he is the same Marquis of strength as Marquis Michael Ait of Thorngrass. But he is a new nobleman, neither in terms of foundation nor background, can be compared with Michael Aite, who is enough to challenge the powerful duke, so it is not an unacceptable fact to gather under the command of the thorn grass and become his loyal minister.

It was precisely because of the decision of the Marquis of the Fearless that he quickly became the most important combat force under the Marquis of Briargrass, and he was also the confidant of the Marquis of Briargrass.

This can be seen from the fact that there are only three of them in this room.

"Master Lorendas, get up quickly, I am really flattered by your behavior." After hearing what Lorendas said, Arlan stood up, and then quickly turned around and stepped forward to help Lorendas When he got up, his movements appeared to be unhurried, with a kind of arrogance unique to the royal family, but it was precisely because of this arrogance, coupled with his seemingly unaffected smile, that it made Lorendas feel even more A touch of gratitude and excitement.

It's just that only they themselves know how real the performances of the two parties are.

However, this did not prevent Lorendas from observing the third prince who was famous for his flair at close range.

Alan Ryan has golden hair and a very handsome face - this appearance is due to his mother who is from the forest elves. His Royal Highness is quite tall, about 1.8 meters tall, exuding a very unique natural temperament all over his body, his voice is gentle and magnetic, no matter how you look at it, he is a man who is enough to become the dream of many women. Excellent man for lover.

"You almost ruined our good business." Compared with the gentle Prince Arlan, the Marquis of Briargrass, Michael Ait, looked very ugly. "It's a good thing you're not an idiot, and you didn't provoke that mad dog head-on, otherwise... the Fearless will probably become a joke."

"You taught me the right thing, Lord Marquis." Lorendas said with a slight bow. "The comfortable life during this time really made me careless and arrogant, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Okay, okay, Lord Michael, stop blaming Lord Lorendas." Arlan, who played the role of the white face, said with a smile. Breaking this slightly silent and serious atmosphere, "Some things always have to be on the bright side. At least Lord Lorendas has brought us some information, right?"

"Yes." Lorendas nodded.

So at Allan's invitation, Lorendas quickly sat at the table where only two people were sitting, and began to tell Allan and Michael what happened to him at the Evergreen Suspension Bridge.

It has to be said that the Marquis of Lorendas, who is known as the Fearless, may also have some talents for bards. Under his description, Prince Arlan and Marquis Michael, who were not present, both had a feeling of being there, especially when they mentioned the scene where the carriage was suddenly split, the hearts of the two people suddenly felt A slight shudder—especially Prince Arlan. He who didn't have any foundation in martial arts felt even more frightened.

It was just a matter of a few minutes, but under the description of Lorendas, it took three or four times as long to finish the speech—of course, because of some questions from Marquis Michael and Prince Arlan in the middle , so Lorendas also had to supplement the details.

After Lorendas finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a while.

After a while, it was Prince Arlan who broke the silence first: "The one who split the carriage in half...could it be Lord Wen Gehua? After all, he was right there at the time, and judging from what he said Look... obviously he's been following events."

"It's normal that Lord Wen Gehua is paying attention to the development of the situation, but if Lord Wen Gehua can stop the carriage from such a far position and push Lord Lorendas back without harming the slightest bit, then he is probably already a A legendary powerhouse." A trace of contempt flashed in Michael's eyes, but he was well disguised and was not noticed by Allan. "However, it does not rule out the possibility of other legendary powerhouses making moves, or..."

"Or that woman herself is a legendary powerhouse..." Lorendas swallowed with some difficulty.

Recalling his reckless and arrogant behavior before, Lorendas felt a wave of fear in his heart at this time. His current strength is only in the realm of the quasi-sanctuary, and there is still a distance from the real sanctuary, but he has indeed won the title of "Fearless" by virtue of his brave and decisive fighting style-the person who has won this title. As long as you can step into the sanctuary realm, you will definitely be able to obtain the title of "Fearless".

But no matter how fearless a person is, it is impossible not to feel fear when facing an impossible enemy like a legendary powerhouse.

"It seems that the Grand Duke of Void is surrounded by real talents." Michael said angrily, "As a result, the capital has now gathered three legendary powerhouses."

"Three...three?" Lorendas asked with some doubts.

He obviously knew that he had missed a lot of good things because he delayed coming to the capital due to territorial affairs. But what he can't imagine no matter what, is that there are actually three legendary powerhouses in the Kingdom of Ryan! This has reached the level of a super first-class kingdom! Although one of them belongs to the Principality of the Void, which is likely to cause the Principality of the Void to become independent from the status of a vassal state, in any case, the foundation of the Kingdom of Ryan can be regarded as very strong today.

Arlan glanced at Lorendas, who was a little surprised, and then smiled: "But it's a pity, two of them don't belong to our Kingdom of Ryan. One is probably the one you met earlier. One woman who followed Grand Duke Sean, if the information is true, she should be considered as a member of the Void Principality. And the other is Miss Elizabeth Batian, a follower of Grand Duke Asuna of the Garod Principality. … ...I guess, if the Batian family had known about Elizabeth's talent, they probably wouldn't have driven her away in the first place."

"Then... is there another one?" Lorendas asked.

"Oh, that one is in the hands of my dear brother, His Royal Highness Addas." Prince Alan smiled, "My brother never thought of hiding this legendary powerhouse from the very beginning, but was very high-profile He put him on the stage...but my brother never expected that a legendary powerhouse would appear beside Grand Duke Asuna. Hmm. But at present, there is also a legendary powerhouse beside Grand Duke Xiao En, Thinking about it, my brother should be having a headache right now."

"It's a good thing to give His Royal Highness Adams a headache, but it's not a good thing for us." Michael took a deep breath. Then his face turned ugly, "I thought I could finally take revenge, but I didn't expect the enemy's strength to grow faster than I expected..."

"Forgive me for being away from the capital for too long, so I'm a little unclear about what happened in the capital in recent years. Can you please tell me, Lord Michael, what actual conflict you have with that Duke of Void? "Alan said with a look of surprise, "As far as I know, you never seem to have had a real confrontation with that grand duke, right? Even if it was the plan of the alliance of nobles in Seine that you drafted, you played a role in it. His role seems to be just an intermediary."

Hearing Arlan's words, Michael was slightly taken aback, then raised his head immediately: "His Royal Highness, what do you mean..."

"I was thinking, since we didn't have any actual conflict with that Grand Duke of the Void, why can't we have a good discussion with him?" Arlan showed a charming smile. It has to be said that this half-elf His Royal Highness, the prince of blood, is indeed very handsome, especially when he smiles, it is particularly fascinating, "In my opinion, a Duke of Void has completely lost power, status, and identity compared to those few. an ally is far more valuable."

Michael did not reply immediately, but showed a deep thought. It's just that there seems to be some sadness between the brows.

The corner of Allan's mouth raised slightly, and he decided to put the last straw: "Isn't it important for nobles to pay attention to interests? As long as you have enough interests, and can make Mr. Michael guarantee that you are still in the center of power in the kingdom, sacrifice a few A pawn that is already worthless. Isn't it normal?"

Michael Ait restrained the look of sadness on his face, and replaced it with a firm expression: "You are right, Your Highness Allan. If you can get the support of the Duke of Void, then it is natural for you to ascend the throne. yes

Much smoother. Now His Highness Adams has a legendary powerhouse by his side, and according to intelligence, the fourth princess, Voorhees, seems to have gained the support of Grand Duke Asuna. In terms of top combat power, it has already competed with His Royal Highness Adams

Strength. "

"Well, Grand Duke Asuna is not something that cannot be won." Arlan smiled slightly, "My younger sister is indeed outstanding, but it is not appropriate for a woman to be the king of a country... Maybe, I might be able to get their support. If everything goes well, with the support of the two grand dukes, I will not be able to resist the king."

"It is inevitable." Marquis Michael nodded, "Then it seems that I need to prepare a gift to express to Grand Duke Sean."

"That's a good idea." Arlan nodded with a smile, "Now that we've made a decision, I have Mr. Michael to take care of you.... After all, although I am Prince, but I don't think many nobles will take good care of me."

"That's why they didn't know about you, Your Highness Allan." Michael clenched his fist lightly on his chest, and then bowed slightly to Allan, "If His Highness Allan shows his sharpness, no one can resist it." Your advance."

"Ahaha, Master Michael, I would be embarrassed if you praised me so much." Allan smiled exaggeratedly, but there was no smile in the eyes of his head slightly raised by the exaggerated smile movement "Then I'll take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, the third prince Arlan picked up the cloak next to him, put it on his body, got up and left. On the way back, the knight was still leading the way, but this time he did not leave from the main entrance, but from a back door.

Going out, there was already a dilapidated carriage waiting by the side. After seeing Prince Arlan's appearance, a young man in butler clothes who had been standing beside him quickly opened the door of the carriage. and brought Arlan up,

Then he himself got into the carriage and signaled for the carriage to set off.

Sitting in the carriage, Arlan finally lifted his hood, revealing a look that was completely different from the previous laughing look.

"Your Highness. You need to rest." The young man dressed as a butler gently pulled back his hair, revealing the pointed ears hidden under the hair. This is clearly an elf, and a true elf with pure blood.

Instead of a half-elf like Alan. If you observe carefully, you can even see the powder and camouflage deliberately smeared on the elf's face to cover up his real face, and of course there is a slight bulge on the back of the sofa in the carriage.

raised chest.

"Fanny, things are not as simple as you imagined." Arlan sighed softly, "Counting you, there are now four legendary powerhouses in the capital."

"Another one appeared?" The female elf named Fanny froze for a moment, "Why didn't I sense the breath?"

"Maybe he is also a legendary expert who is proficient in concealing aura. Just like you, he can use the power of nature to cover up the aura on his body. No one can detect you." Arlan said softly, "But I'm sure, That is definitely a legendary powerhouse, and a legendary powerhouse who is extremely good at fighting. Such a legendary powerhouse is not easy to deal with, if she is not on our side..."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, any enemy who hinders you will become a dead soul under my sword." Fanny said softly, but no matter how soft her voice was, it was full of an unparalleled murderous aura at this time, "Whether it is that thunder

Ting's daughter Elizabeth. Or the oath knight Lauren, neither is my opponent. Even if the newly appeared legendary expert is a legendary expert who is very good at fighting, he will definitely not be able to stop my meteor sword skill. "

"Well, I believe in you, Fanny." Arlan showed a charming smile, which was a sincere smile from his heart, which was fundamentally different from the smiles he had shown to anyone in the past, "But ah ,

I don't want to do anything to our two potential future allies yet. Perhaps... we should pay a visit to the miracle lord now, maybe he will agree to be our companion. "

"He will agree." Fanny still replied softly. It's just that the murderous intent in her words has not weakened in the slightest.

"Oh, no, no, dear Fanny, it's not good for you to be so murderous, it will scare our future allies." Arlan said with a smile, "Give this country to my brother who only knows how to fight , which is simply

contributed to the demise of Lane. Although I appreciate my younger sister, she really lacks enough courage. If I can win the throne and have their help, then I can definitely make Ryan stronger. "

"I believe you will be able to make Ryan embark on a more powerful path." Fanny also showed a rare smile.

"For now, let my respected brother run into obstacles and worry." Arlan turned his head and looked out at the street through the window of the carriage, "People who can only think in the way of soldiers are originally Not fit to govern a country."

In fact, things did go as Allan expected, and Adams in the palace was caught in a kind of distress and entanglement.

The third prince Allan has excellent diplomatic skills, which in a way also means that His Royal Highness has a very good political sense - of course, excellent political sense does not mean that he is governing internal affairs

It's just as good. On the contrary, Allan is better at using sharp words and clear logic to deal with enemies who have different political views, or using his sweet words to hook up one girl after another.

The eldest prince, Adams, behaved more like a reckless man-of course, his commanding and commanding abilities are indeed good, but they are only limited to the use of tactics. Although he has the title of "Uncrowned King of the North of Ryan\

,"Huh, but it was not he who made the strategic plan in previous wars, but the staff behind him. As the commander-in-chief of an army, Adams relied on his bravery and courage to conquer others.

Of course, there is also a big reason for it being his most powerful deputy, Oath Knight Lauren.

At this time, the information that was exactly the same as what Allan and Michael had discussed before was placed in front of the desk of the eldest prince Adams.

However, unlike Allan and others who are still guessing whether Alexis's strength has stepped into the legend, the information obtained by Adams has clearly shown that the woman who followed the Void Grand Duke Sean is A true legendary powerhouse. And I'm afraid it's even stronger than the average legendary powerhouse.

"Lauren, what do you think of this information?" Adams said angrily.

"If it was me who shot, neither the four horses nor the coachman, or the Marquis Fearless sitting in the carriage, would not be able to escape from my sword." The legend named Lauren The strong man glanced at the information, and then said in a deep voice, "So purely in terms of skill, I am not as good as her.... But in terms of strength. I don't think the other party can win me."

"So assuming you need to fight against the opponent, how sure are you of winning?"

"Ten percent." Lauren said lightly, but there was pride in her tone that could not be concealed, "I am your oath knight, as long as you don't die, I will never die, so no matter how aggressive her attack is And skill, even if I can't keep up with her, but I will never really die, and all her attacks will be meaningless. Unless... she is also a vow knight."

"Now there are three legendary powerhouses in the city. This really makes me feel a little uneasy." Adams frowned, "But damn it, the father didn't choose an heir before he died, otherwise I wouldn't It's become so passive."

Prince Adams apparently never considered the possibility that His Majesty the King, Ingus Lane, would not pass on the throne to him. In his opinion, he is called the uncrowned king of the north, so the subordinate of the Kingdom of Ryan

He must be the only heir, and there is no possibility of being left behind. Therefore, Adams' anger can be imagined when he heard that someone else jumped out to compete with him for the heir to the throne.

Especially, after he learned that his father's close vassal did not choose to join him. Instead, when he took refuge in his younger sister Voorhees, he directly pushed the suspicion of Ingels' death on the Marquis of Floris. very

He even believed that all of this was instructed by his younger sister Fursisi who wanted to snatch the throne frantically, if there was no conclusive evidence. He had already ordered Lauren to kill directly at the door.

"I don't think we need to be hostile to this Grand Duke of the Void." Lauren watched Adams fall into a state of anxiety, and then said after a moment of silence, "This Grand Duke has no clear choice of position, so We can win him over, so our chances of winning will be much greater.... You have the support of two legendary powerhouses. No one will dare to oppose you."

"Impossible!" Adams said coldly, "The Grand Duke of the Void is very close to Asuna, and almost all of his achievements today are bestowed by Asuna. There are rumors that the Grand Duke of the Void is Asuna." Na's face, or a secret lover, so he will definitely join hands with Asuna...Even if they don't join forces, I can't let someone who has a close relationship with Asuna live."

After hearing what Adams said, Lauren didn't say anything more.

He has been with the prince for a long time, so he is very clear about the character of the prince. Perhaps ten years ago, His Royal Highness was very frank and could be regarded as courageous and resourceful, but

Since the defeat by Asuna, the prince's personality has been completely distorted, coupled with a series of brilliant battles in the northern border of the kingdom, this naturally made the prince even more powerful. arrogant arrogance

grid.

In particular, when he died in a rebellion, and was resurrected by His Royal Highness Adams with the mysterious King Arthur's curse as a vowed knight, breaking through the limit of his strength and becoming a legendary powerhouse, Lauren

It was found that His Royal Highness Adams acted even more recklessly. It was after this that Adams finally earned the title of the Uncrowned King of the North, but all of this was based on an absolute ruling regime. Those Northmen who opposed Adams

Lord Fang is basically dead.

"Asuna, I will definitely make her kneel and beg for mercy!" Adams slammed the desk hard, with a look of vengeance on his face, "I've been waiting for this moment for the past ten years... If If it wasn't for the fact that she has a daughter of Thunder by her side now..."

"If you have a need, Your Highness, I can take care of that Thunder Daughter right now." Lauren said lightly.

It seems that in his cognition, no one is his opponent at all. However, due to his characteristics that are almost identical to those of undead creatures, people who don't know the details of him really can't win the first battle, especially

Especially when Lauren was still alive, he was still a strong man of actual combat strength. Compared with those embroidered pillows that rely on resources but have no actual combat experience, Lauren's combat effectiveness is really terrifying.

"No, it's not the time yet." Although Adams' distorted mind was caused by the shame of the year, at least he has not really lost his mind. "If Elizabeth is killed, the Batian family will definitely not give up

stop. They have been trying to get in touch with Elizabeth recently, hoping to welcome her back to the family, but the progress has not been too great. ...so before the battle for the heir to the throne has not been decided, it is not advisable to act lightly

If you want to act recklessly, at least you have to wait until after your father is buried. "

"I see." Lauren bowed slightly, "So, what shall we do now?"

"I

Let's go to the head of the Batian family, as long as Elizabeth can be persuaded to return to the Batian family, or re-bound her interests with the Batian family, then there is nothing to worry about. "Adams thought for a while, then

Then he said in a deep voice, "As for the void lord named Xiao En, after I become king, I will have a way to deal with him....It's just a principality!"
