Lord of War

Whatever happened to King Ryan has nothing to do with Xiao En.

After he and Alexis arrived at the city closest to the king's capital, they couldn't wait to use the teleportation magic circle to leave, and they still chose to teleport.

The teleportation magic circle is a cross-age magic circle developed by Haiersen Research Institute based on the transformation of the ancient teleportation circle. Its main function is to use the consumption of magic power to carry out real-time teleportation on other magic teleportation circles that have already been anchored in the space. space transfer. But after all, it is not the ancient teleportation array that uses divine power to support the space channel. This kind of teleportation array that consumes magic power is not only very susceptible to interference from space magic, but also causes certain damage to the body every time it is teleported.

Although these damages are only minor mental and physical injuries, it can be recovered with a little rest for a day. However, if continuous teleportation is carried out without sufficient rest, then this accumulated damage will become permanent damage, and perhaps only Alexis's body is completely at an extraordinary level. The guy who can completely ignore it.

Even if it is as strong as Sean, it will be affected to a certain extent physically. However, compared to ordinary people, Sean's impact is much milder. After all, the laws he has comprehended and come into contact with are time and space. Its own interference and damage are more than enough.

With a shorter number of days than when going to the capital. Sean and Alexis returned to the Void City.

This big city that is now a symbol of the capital of the Principality of the Void does not show much prosperity, even after more than a year of recuperation, but for the experience of the Dabiang War, the conspiracy of the nobles in Seine, the revenge of the blood flag, For the Principality of the Void in a series of battles such as the Ryan Bad Blood Project. Now the Principality's citizens are in a serious shortage, and this cannot be recovered in a year or so.

Even though Neil and Hella used some shady methods to attract a large number of citizens from other territories to enter the Principality of the Void, as the lords of the surrounding territories began to set up checkpoints and implement iron-blooded methods, no one dared to venture into the duchy now. Void Principality. Fortunately, the large-scale relocation of many tribes in the barren land made up for the supply of troops in the Void Principality to some extent.

but. That's all.

Many cities and towns in the Principality of the Void are still in a deserted state—although they are not quite empty. But there are at least four to six empty rooms in the ten rooms.

The Void City, a large city that can accommodate nearly 100,000 people, even when the principality was newly established, had nearly 50,000 people, but now it has been defeated due to several consecutive battles. The permanent population of the whole city is unexpectedly less than 30,000, and even if floating population is included, it is less than 40,000. When he returned with Alexis before, Sean just felt abnormally deserted, but now after seeing the detailed data report, Sean's brows were completely frowned.

"There are pros and cons." Seeing Sean's brow furrowed deeply, Neil said lightly.

"I know." Xiao En nodded, and said in a deep voice, "If the empire plan is successful, the territory of the Duchy of the Void will become very difficult now. After all, it is too deep. Once a war occurs, the strategy will be too large. Give the enemy more room to move, even if Hela and William join forces, it will be difficult to completely block it."

"So in my strategic plan, this old land is just our buffer zone before the war." Hela took the words calmly,

Then he said, "Currently, the imperial plan is progressing very smoothly. The third stage is coming to an end, and the opposition in the barren land has basically disappeared. It's just that many black hands have also extended into the barren land. The situation is worse than before. It is even more complicated for the business alliance to implement the snake plan."

"It's impossible for us to hide such a big movement from others. It's just that it's far from the time to tear our face." Neil said in a deep voice.

Many people believe that William is the most talented military commander in the Duchy of the Void. Even Hela is only slightly better than William in terms of strategic layout. If it is in terms of actual combat and even changes in the battle situation, Hela is likely to be in the top 20. The standard is not high enough. But only the true core followers of Xiao En will know that William can achieve today's achievements, in addition to his own talent and understanding, it is largely due to the guidance of Neil in the past.

Perhaps, Neil is not as good as Hela in terms of strategic layout, and he is not as good as William in terms of tactical strikes. However, Neil's biggest advantage is that he has no obvious shortcomings, and with his handling of government affairs, his keen sense of the political situation, and his diplomatic sharpness, Neil is far superior to anyone in terms of strategic and tactical thinking. , at least the views and judgments in this aspect are definitely at the level of ten generals.

Therefore, Sean and Hela were not surprised or astonished when faced with Neil's point to the core.

After a short pause, Neil continued, "There is no need to worry about the Millennium Covenant now. The civil strife has consumed a lot of their energy, and they really don't have the energy to stop it. According to William, the Millennium Covenant Empire The internal rebel party is completely throwing their bets and wanting to fight to determine the outcome, but it is a pity...they are doomed to fail."

"Oh?" Sean froze for a moment, "How do you say?"

"William achieved a glorious victory." Neil handed the letter from William to Sean, and then explained briefly, "All the materials raised by the rebel party of the Millennium Covenant Empire were William has been captured. However... for the time being, he has no way to return, and several targets of the Joanton family who competed with Hasass for successors and supporters of the rebel party have all fought against William."

"It's impossible for William to be delayed because of fighting with them?" Sean frowned, "What the hell is he doing?"

"Cecilia hasn't contacted William yet." After a moment of hesitation, Hela and Neil looked at each other before Hela spoke. "Although the specific reason is not clear, but... the sighing forest..."

"Sigh Forest!?" Sean's expression changed slightly.

No one knows better than him what kind of place the Forest of Sighs is.

This forest was before the land of the black earth was purified. It can be regarded as the edge area of ​​this chaotic and dark place, and it is a clear watershed boundary. The eastern frontier of the Millennium Covenant Empire has always been known as the "demarcation line of death". And when the land of black soil is purified and Utopia emerges, this Forest of Sighs will become a war buffer zone for Utopia, the holy land. If a road is not opened in the forest, it will not be easy to launch an invasion against Utopia.

But right now, Utopia is not here yet. The Forest of Sighs is a relatively dangerous area.

Sean has always felt that Cecilia seems to be in trouble, and this is not his illusion. It was a kind of heart connection after he became the son of the world. This is a kind of benefit given to him by the will of the world, but at the beginning he didn't know what this feeling was until he was reminded by Jibril on the floating island. It finally dawned on me. It is precisely because of this that Sean is anxious to return to the Principality of the Void, ready to go to the Millennium Covenant.

Forced to calm down directly, Sean said: "Cecilia, I will go there with Alexis. I think Kozilek and Rina are by her side, so Cecilia and the others should not encounter anything. Too dangerous."

Sean thought about it, as long as the death tide in the Forest of Sighs was not alarmed, Kozilek and Rina would be able to run amok throughout the Forest of Sighs.

"In that case, I will send a letter to William later. Let him not worry." Neil nodded, and then continued, "There is no need to pay attention to the Millennium Covenant Empire. When they stabilize, we will This side can already call itself an empire. But what needs to be worried about now is the fascist kingdom. Recently, there have been constant actions there, and the conflict with the Ryan border has intensified. Dabiang's old party is also faintly showing signs of coming back."

"The Third Garrison?" Sean frowned.

When the Dabion Kingdom fell. The third garrison was unable to participate in the Patriotic War of Dabion Kingdom because of Andrew's attack, which caused the invasion of orcs. So. This led to the fact that the military strength of the Kingdom of Dabion was less than half. Otherwise, even with Sean's conspiracy and Andrew's intervention, Ryan would never have imagined annexing Dabion so easily.

This orc army, which often crosses the Dragon Valley to invade, is actually composed of exiled prisoners from various tribes in the wild land.

To put it simply, the Broken Dragon Mountain Range is like a prison in a barren land.

In the past, the Broken Dragon Mountain Range was naturally guarded to ensure that these prisoners could only live a hard life in the Broken Dragon Mountain Range, and would never be able to return to the wild land. For this reason, they can only seek to cross the Broken Dragon Valley in the Broken Dragon Mountain Range, trying to find a new way to survive.

However, as the major tribes in the wild land were incorporated by Xiao En, the blockade of the Broken Dragon Mountain Range became increasingly thinner, so that in the past two months, all the troops stationed in the wild land of the Broken Dragon Mountain Range were withdrawn. . In this way, those vicious criminals who were driven to the Broken Dragon Mountain Range will have a new way out, and if there is a way out, they will naturally not go to trouble with the tough third guard.

In this way, the third garrison was freed up.

After thinking about this, Sean sighed softly: "Ignore them, we will continue to implement our plan. But... If there is a request for help from Hopson, we will do our best to help if we can." One hand, after all, the treaty of the League of Seven has not been terminated."

Regarding Xiao En's statement, Hela curled her lips noncommittally, her eyes were obviously disdainful.

"As for the fascist kingdom, after I finish dealing with Cecilia's affairs, I will free up my hands to deal with them." Sean ignored Hela, but then said coldly, "They thought our blood Banner's revenge is over, hmph... let's give the Wiles family a surprise then. So, our empire plan basically has no obstacles?"

"Actually, there are more." Neil sighed lightly, then pushed a piece of information lightly, and slid it in front of Sean.

After receiving the document bag containing the sealed information, Xiao En opened it, glanced at it, and frowned.

There is very little on the letter paper. There are only a few short sentences, no matter how carefully you look at it, it will not take ten seconds. But Sean watched it for a full ten minutes, then raised his head to look at Neil, and said in a deep voice, "Has it infiltrated?"

Neil nodded slightly, and then replied: "Although the situation in the barren land is basically under our control, these people are still trying to find opportunities. And there are signs that they are not willing to cause trouble in the barren land, Also tried to cross the Canyon Rift. It's just that several attempts have not succeeded."

"Let's put the empire plan aside for now, and we'll talk about it after Alexis and I bring Cecilia and the others back." Sean thought for a while. Then he said, "Be sure not to give these guys any chance, otherwise, once those people get involved, even if there is an excuse made by His Royal Highness Adams, we will fall into a passive position. ... This is not what we want desired result."

"However, we can make good use of the matter of blatantly assassinating the Duke of the Void." Hela, who had been quiet and didn't speak again, suddenly smiled at this moment, her eyes brightened a little surprisingly, "If everything goes well, Ryan will also I'm too busy to take care of myself...I'll go to Diana to discuss it now." Speaking of this, Hela suddenly seemed to remember something, and said suddenly: "Before you asked me to pay attention to the movement of the Peace Council in the Principality, there have been I got the news....All the people secretly dispatched by the Peace Council to our Principality have been evacuated. It seems that you have offended them very much."

"It's good to evacuate. If they keep hanging on, it will be troublesome." Xiao En said lightly. "But what I care more about is Christina."

"I didn't get news about her through the underground intelligence organization, as if she disappeared from this world."

"That's why I'm worried."

Sean felt a headache when he thought of that Christiana who was like a fanatic. That woman was the most buggy existence Sean had ever seen. If it wasn't for Rina already possessing the angel outfit Michael, it would be purely in terms of achievement and strength growth. Rina will not be Christina's opponent. But even so, when he thinks of Christina, Sean feels a little uneasy. He knows that this is a kind of induction of the will of the world, just like his induction of Cecilia. Find out the reason for Christina's trail.

It would be great if we could grasp the real trace of Christina.

But now even God's Eye, the Thieves Guild, the Assassin's League, and the Priory can't detect Christina's trace, which is worth thinking about. Of course, Sean believes that Deaththorn, the old opponent of the Peace Council, will definitely be able to find out, but now the relationship between Sean and Deaththorn is in a state of absolute opposition. Deaththorn will not provide Sean with any information or clues, even if he will It was definitely wrong information, so Sean didn't bother himself.

The current Void Principality is like a huge vortex, attracting the attention of all the forces in the entire Southern Continent.

It has to be said that Hela, Neil, William, and Cecilia are the most correct to choose to implement the Void Empire plan at this time, because this is the time when the Millennium Covenant Empire is at its weakest, and the internal friction caused by the rebellion There is absolutely no way to recover in the next ten years. In addition, the Kingdom of Ryan is now caught in a vicious circle of overwhelmed self-care. The Principality of the Void broke away from the Kingdom of Ryan at this time, just as the Kingdom of Ryan used Encos to block the way and annexed Dabion to restore the status of the kingdom.

No matter who it is, it is difficult to find trouble with the Void Principality at this time, or the future Void Empire.

Just because they can't make trouble doesn't mean they don't mean to create chaos or fish in troubled waters.

Especially now, because of Reis's incident, Sean has dispersed all the high-end combat power in the Principality, which makes the Principality of the Void currently somewhat weak. If the Void Empire is destroyed at this critical moment, or even the purpose and news of the upcoming empire are exposed, it will definitely cause more unnecessary troubles.

This is also the real reason why Sean immediately stopped the Void Empire plan.

After all, even if you want to proclaim yourself an empire, you need to choose a good time to minimize all risks. Otherwise, if you fight head-to-head with other people, or with other forces and organizations, even if you can really become an empire afterwards, it will enter a long period of weakness. This is not the result Xiao En wants.

In particular, at present, many foreign forces are beginning to gather in the wild land like sharks smelling blood.

At the very least, Sean has to get rid of all these bad factors before he can continue to implement the Void Empire plan without any worries, otherwise he would rather let it go. Of course, he can't delay this time for letting go for too long, at least it must be before the Kingdom of Lane actually selects an heir—if it wasn't for Adams' interception of him, Sean would choose to decide the next successor in the Kingdom of Lane After becoming the heir, he left the Kingdom of Ryan.

As far as the current results are concerned, Sean still has about half a year to make relevant preparations.

After explaining the matter to Hela and Neil, Sean and Alexis rested in the lord's mansion for one night, and then went directly to the wild land through the teleportation magic circle the next day, towards the Millennium Covenant Empire. progress within the country.
