Lord of War

Before the cremation ceremony of His Majesty the old King Ingus Lane began, the magic teleportation circle had been closed in the capital of Lane.

It is said that this is to avoid unnecessary confusion caused by the sudden teleportation, and it will not be opened for the next three days, and the magic teleportation circle will not be reopened until the fourth day.

In this regard, the people naturally expressed their understanding and did not have any objections.

Only in this way, those nobles and commoners who want to leave will suffer. For this reason, they had to go to the post station to rent a carriage, or take a regular public carriage; of course, those who had no money could only rely on their own legs to move.

But now, Xiao En, who is expensive as the Grand Duke of a country, naturally won't be short of this little money.

So he hired a carriage and prepared to go to the city closest to the royal capital with Alexis, using the teleportation magic circle there to leave.

Since Sean did not hide his whereabouts, when Sean and Alexis left the capital, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him. Obviously, the nobles of these royal capitals couldn't figure out why the Grand Duke of Void would leave the royal capital at this time, because it was obvious that the three princes would compete for the throne next. The nobles who have the right to speak can't wait to find a camp immediately and show their loyalty.

As far as the current situation is concerned.

The most powerful is the camp of Prince Adams.

All the nobles in the northern border of the Ryan Kingdom gathered under his command. Most of these nobles were powerful nobles-they might not occupy any important official positions and positions in the Ryan Kingdom, but because of the chaotic factors in the northern border, they all With a strong private army, it can be said that almost one-third of the entire Ryan kingdom is now concentrated in the northern border of Ryan.

Therefore, Adams, who has won the support of the entire northern aristocracy, is naturally the undoubted favorite to win the championship.

And slightly inferior to Adams was the fourth princess Voorhees.

In fact, after Sean learned that the forest elf named Fanny was a follower of the third prince Arlan, he knew that the fourth princess was the weakest of the three competitors. It's just that the outside world doesn't know this, because they value Grand Duke Garrod, and Asuna has clearly stated her position publicly, and she also has a legendary mage under her command—Elizabeth from the Batian family.

I have to say that Elizabeth paid a lot for Asuna. When she left the Batian family back then, two-thirds of the factors were actually driven out by the Batian family. Now, after seeing Elizabeth become a legendary powerhouse, she tried every means to get Elizabeth back into the family. If it was according to Elizabeth's idea, she would naturally be unwilling, but for Asuna, Elizabeth still returned to the Batian family, and the price was that the Batian family fully supported Princess Vorshees.

Therefore, in terms of strength on the surface, although the fourth princess Ferhees has no courage and is very timid, she has won the support of the people and the nobles of the royal capital, and she is the existence that can stand up to His Royal Highness Adams in a discerning person.

But in fact, the one who is really the strongest is the third prince, Arlan.

Fanny, the Absolute Swordsman from the forest elves, is a powerhouse at the thirteenth critical point, which is a whole rank stronger than Elizabeth and Lauren. Secondly, although his supporters once suffered a big loss in the contest with Xiao En, the foundation did not suffer too much. Even if the overall strength cannot be compared with the northern nobles, they still occupy at least one-third of the army. One of the right to speak.

Today's royal capital is divided by these three successors who are about to cause internal friction for the throne.

It is precisely because of this that both Arlan and Voorhees know whoever wins Sean's support is the well-deserved next king, even if they can't win Sean's support, just like Al As Lan said, he absolutely must not be hostile to Sean. Only Adams disdains this. His Royal Highness, whose personality has been distorted to the point of no further improvement, only thinks about revenge. In fact, except for the northern nobles who gather around him because of the fear of the army under his command, no nobles are optimistic about this prince. .

Even the old ministers of the surrender faction of the Dabiang Kingdom.

But these have nothing to do with Sean.

The carriage quickly left the capital, out of sight of the nobles.

Sitting in the carriage, Alexis looked very ugly. The reason she let go of the female elf before was to let her use her full strength the next time she fought against her, otherwise Alexis wouldn't have let her go. But the result now is that she can't fight that female elf again, which makes Alexis very unhappy—as for Elizabeth, Alexis can tell at a glance that the other party is not good at duels, if In a real fight, she can resolve the battle in an instant, so she has no desire to fight the opponent at all.

Seeing the gloomy look on Elizabeth's face, Sean smiled: "There's no need to spoil the fun. If it's just a fight, I believe you will have a chance to make a move soon....As long as you don't cause trouble in the capital Pay attention to those guys, you just let go and fight."

Alexis looked at Sean suspiciously, as if trying to tell the truth from the fake smile in his eyes: "Hmph! I won't take action on those unqualified trash. No one can You can take a punch from me, and hitting me with them isn't even a warm-up."

"What level is considered a warm-up?" Sean asked.

"At least, it should be like the night before yesterday." Alexis thought for a while, and then said, "That female elf's strength is not bad, barely enough to warm up. But I really want to see Absolute Sword I have seen the secret technique of the magician before when I was in the green forest plane, and the strength has been greatly improved. This female elf is the first one I have encountered after waking up. I can be called a strong person who can warm me up , but it's a pity."

"What a pity?" This was the first time Sean heard Alexis speak in such a regretful tone.

"That female elf can't become a super strong person, I'm afraid it's difficult even for the legendary peak." Alexis shook her head, "Otherwise, I don't mind waiting for her to grow up.... Well, it seems I still have to find a chance to fight her again."

Hearing Alexis' words, Sean suddenly felt a headache.

"Have you heard of the Pledge Knight?" Sean decided to divert the attention of the target. If Alexis continued to talk like this, maybe she would really run back immediately to find Fanny for another fight.

"No." Alexis shook her head, "But if you're talking about the one I sensed in the palace before, then it's meaningless. ... Although that guy is a legendary powerhouse, he has a dark aura , obviously promoted by some special external force, such a person can only stop here. To me, even the qualifications for warm-up are not considered, it is just a vulnerable waste."

"Very good." Sean nodded in satisfaction, "I'll trouble you to deal with that waste later."

"Huh?" Alexis raised her eyebrows, "How do you know? I haven't even sensed the other party's breath."

"This still requires induction?" Sean chuckled, "Do you really think that I have spent these two days in vain? Even if I don't join the camp of His Royal Highness Allan or His Royal Highness Voorhees, but their They are all of the same mind, and they will never embarrass or turn against me. So, they will naturally be happy to send some information to me, so I have a certain understanding of the character of the eldest prince Adams .”

"You mean..." Alexis frowned slightly, and then came to her senses, "No wonder why I lost a breath today, so it turned out to be waiting for us on the road....Hmph, It seems that I have really been underestimated."

Following Alexis's words, there was a sudden hissing sound from the carriage, and then the carriage also stopped.

Sean was still sitting in the carriage, looking at Alexis with a half-smile, but didn't speak. After the latter snorted coldly, he pushed open the door straight away, and got out of the carriage.

Just as Sean expected, the legendary strongman under the command of the eldest prince Adams, the oath knight Lauren, stopped in front of the carriage at this time. And beside him, there are twelve soldiers wearing leather armor imitating light armor and wearing broad-edged swords around their waists. Because Sean had mentioned these before, Alexis recognized at a glance that these soldiers were the so-called sworn soldiers.

The so-called sworn soldiers refer to warriors formed by special magic contract power.

In fact, these people have already died, and they continued to stay in this world only to fulfill the wishes of their followers. These soldiers have the same purpose as undead creatures: they will never really die, and they will no longer have any fear. As long as they are ordered by loyalists, they will advance one after another until they complete their goals.

But despite having similar approaches but equally effective results, in fact these soldiers are not undead, and it can even be said that they do not have any fire of life-at least undead creatures also have soul fire that belongs to life, and this kind of sworn soldier can only They are considered contract creatures, so they don't have any independent thinking at all. Of course, this kind of thing is not absolute. If there are some strong people who were strong enough in life, they will die with a strong unwillingness and then be resurrected by the contract, then they will have their own thinking, and even their strength will be certain. The improvement and strengthening in terms of magnitude is just the price that it is impossible to continue to grow in this life.

There is only one kind of contract magic that can form a vowed soldier, and that is "King Arthur's Recovery Covenant".

This is a special kind of magic that is not classified into any class. In the Magic Guild and the Mage Tower, this magic is called "super-level magic", which means that it has surpassed all currently known magic classes. . As far as Xiao En knows, "King Arthur's Recovery Covenant" is not a magic that can be cast casually. able to produce.

And one of the harshest constraints is the fearless loyalty to followers.

Just like Clover's Cecilia Guards did to Cecilia, even if Cecilia told them to die, they would die without hesitation. Only by reaching this level of loyalty can one of the limiting conditions of this ultra-level magic be achieved.

However, what really makes this magic extremely difficult and troublesome is not that its followers have a nearly invincible army of undead, but the problem is precisely the contractor.

The most direct way to solve the Covenant Legion is to kill the Contractor—in other words, if you really want to make this Covenant Legion disappear, then killing the eldest prince Adams is undoubtedly the easiest. But maybe the person who created this magic was also very clear that this flaw could easily turn his magic into a tasteless one, so this magic has another function, which is to make the contractor also have a near-immortal state.

This kind of immortality does not mean that he will never die.

Rather, the contractor will also suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death, but he will never die due to external damage. And as long as the contractor survives, then the Covenant Legion will never be destroyed.

This is why Sean would say it was difficult when he heard Vivienne say that Adams had such an army under his command.

As for why he would know?

That's because there was such a one in the game back then. So Sean is also very clear that the safest way to deal with Adams is to divide him into five horses and seal all the fragments of the body. Only in this way can the trouble of the Covenant Legion be solved. But Sean didn't want to get involved in the battle for the throne at all. It was impossible to tell the winner in a few months in the competition between three princes and princesses like them. Sean didn't have that much time to stay Wangduli.

Alexis looked at the man in heavy armor who was about 20 meters away from her, her eyes were extremely cold: "Give way, or die."

As a martial concubine who can be famous in Outland, Alexis has never known what is polite, her temper is just like her strength.

This is not to say that she is arrogant, but in fact she really doesn't care about everything in the outside world. Only those that can interest her, she will be a little bit willing to wait and see, just like the forest elf Fanny before. But like Lauren, the oath knight in front of him, even though he has reached the twelfth level of legendary combat power, in the eyes of Alexis, he is worthless.

To put it bluntly, it is vulnerable. ☆ (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
