Lord of War

It wasn't just the Millennium Covenant Empire that felt the space shock.

Almost the entire Southern Continent can feel a very obvious sense of spatial shock, as if a door that has been closed tightly in dust is suddenly broken open with brute force, and everyone behind the door is shocked .

The Millennium Covenant Empire was the first to feel such an obvious change just because it was the closest to the Forest of Sighs.

Followed by the wild land, the Principality of the Void, the Kingdom of Ryan, the Kingdom of Fascism and other surrounding countries and regions. Although those small duchies and kingdoms can also feel the sudden shock, but because the country lacks strong enough powerful people, they can't understand what this space shock means, after all, the level of strength is too big up.

Even in the Kingdom of Ryan, Elizabeth is the only one who can really understand the meaning of this space shock.

However, the opening of the door of bones at this moment is not a good thing for the Kingdom of Ryan, which is currently in a precarious state. It's just that the forest of sighs, the land of black soil, and the dead land of the canyon are extremely dangerous places, and they are not too far away from the Kingdom of Ryan, especially from Asuna's father, the holy wall Roald who is known as the wall of Ryan. The Saint-Drones Fortress where it is stationed is the closest.

There are two natural barriers in the land of black soil, one is the dead land of the canyon, and the other is the forest of sighs.

The reason for the formation of the dead canyon can no longer be investigated, but here is the largest collection of monsters in the entire Southern Continent. Almost all the species that can be seen in the entire Southern Continent can be found here. It is a rare sight in the world that all monsters of the first and second level can gather together. It's just that this scene is not too beautiful for the Millennium Covenant Empire, because whenever the dead tide of the Forest of Sighs erupts, the monsters in the dead land of the canyon will also riot with it.

Therefore, the significance of the existence of the East Deen Territory is to block the tide of monsters in the dead area of ​​the canyon, and prevent the confluence of the tide of monsters and the tide of death. Although the confluence of the two will also trigger battles, the battlefield is in the hinterland of the entire Millennium Covenant Empire. In this way, it is still the Millennium Covenant Empire that has suffered heavy losses. For this reason, the Duke of East Dern, who is under the command of Popocas, is naturally responsible for blocking the tide of monsters. As for the threat of the death tide, Duke Pusius has been responsible for the last few times.

This is also the strongest evidence that Purseus is about to become the Duke of Nandeln. In fact, if it were not for the fact that the Duke of Purseus is too old now, and his successor could not be selected, it would have made it impossible for the empire to see the ability of the successor, so the title of Duke of Nandern has never been given. Royal seal. It's just that although the Duke of Purseus didn't get this title, in fact, the military power in the south of the entire empire was under his jurisdiction.

It's nameless.

Previously, Popocas originally wanted to give Pusius the great credit for suppressing the rebel party, but now with the opening of the gate of bones, an army of undead from the plane of bones is about to appear, he can no longer be so calm Now, the civil strife must end as soon as possible, and only then can the Millennium Covenant Empire be in a better state to meet the coming danger. In fact, after discovering the news of the invasion of the undead army, to the people in the Pure White Army Council at that time, they all knew that this was not only a huge threat, but also a huge opportunity.

As long as the past is passed, the separation of the hearts of the people and the army caused by the attrition of the civil war will surely recover quickly in a short period of time, shortening the time for the entire Millennium Covenant Empire to recuperate.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for an empire that has suffered a decline in national power caused by civil strife. But if the invasion of the Bone Plane following the civil strife cannot be stopped, the end of the Millennium Covenant Empire can be imagined.

Even if the country is not destroyed, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to keep the name of the empire.

Therefore, as one of the ten generals and a veteran of the empire, Popokas naturally couldn't sit still.

And as the situation in the entire Millennium Covenant Empire became more turbulent, the fluctuations suffered by the Ryan Kingdom were also severe.

After Asuna learned about the possible mutation in the Forest of Sighs from Elizabeth, she immediately reported the matter to the parliament, and at the same time asked Vivienne to go to Fort Saint-Drones to find own father. At this moment, there are some things that the Kingdom of Ryan has to face is not much less pressure than the Millennium Covenant Empire, but even if the Millennium Covenant Empire fails, with its accumulation of foundations for so many years, even if it regresses into a kingdom. Definitely in the ranks of the super class kingdom.

And with Budris, who is so ambitious and even wants to make his achievements surpass those of the founding emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire, even if he is downgraded to a kingdom, he will definitely be able to return to the ranks of the Seven Great Empires.

But the Kingdom of Ryan is different.

This kingdom, in the eyes of those who care about it, is already on the verge of subjugation.

Even if the country is not subjugated, the split may be a matter of time. And the most important point is that the death of the old king Ingels is still a huge mystery. Although the three successors have already begun to investigate this matter, the one who has made the fastest progress should be the fourth princess Vorshees. After all, among her supporters is the Marquis Floris who controls all the information in the entire kingdom.

In the Royal Rose Manor on the outskirts of the capital of Ryan, Asuna, Elizabeth, the Marquis of Floris, Princess Voorhees and others all gathered in a reception room. This is different from the reception room that hosted Sean before. This reception room is much smaller, and the decoration also looks more simple and simple, especially the decoration in many places can be seen in a casual style. , I think this should be a relatively private reception room.

"Grand Duke Sean, are you in the Millennium Covenant Empire?" Asuna frowned, and asked Marquis Floris next to her.

"Yes, Grand Duke Asuna." Marquis Floris nodded, "Although there is an agreement with the Void Realm under the command of Grand Duke Xiao En, there are still some information sharing and communication exchanges, so for Xiao We know some of the whereabouts of Grand Duke En... This time, Grand Duke Xiao En did not hide his whereabouts, so based on our intelligence collection and analysis, we can infer that Grand Duke Xiao En should have passed through the wild land at this time Millennium Covenant area."

Asuna's brows did not relax because of this, but she looked even more worried and distressed: "Sean also communicated with me in private before, he was worried about Cecilia's safety, so he must rush back to the void as soon as possible. The Principality, depending on the situation, Cecilia should have entered the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire because of certain things... So, the opening of the Gate of Bones this time may have something to do with Sean and the others, right?"

"Judging from the results of intelligence collection and analysis from various sources, it should be inseparable." Elizabeth said, "Before William sent troops to the barren land and intercepted a caravan that was about to pass through the Millennium Covenant area. The two sides broke out. A battle. Although it was not particularly fierce, it lasted for a long time. This was obviously the result of William's intentional control. Otherwise, with the combat power of the Thunder Lion and Cecilia's Guards, the With William's command, I'm afraid the battle should have ended long ago."

Having said that, the Marquis of Floris also nodded secretly.

After all, the title of top ten generals is too resounding.

"I guess that William's deliberately prolonging the war time must be related to Cecilia and others, and it may even be because Cecilia was in danger or trouble at that time. It's just that this danger and trouble are not in William's Therefore, he should be thinking about some solution at that time." Elizabeth paused for a moment, then continued, "It's just that later, when William led the army back to the gathering point of the wild tribe Judging from it, it should be that Sean and Sean have reached a unified opinion, that is to say, Sean will go to find Cecilia in person... This point is also consistent with the time Sean left the capital."

"Then the current conclusion is certain?" Princess Voorhees asked.

"Although I can't guarantee it 100%, but it's almost inseparable." The Marquis of Floris nodded, "The opening of the door of bones is definitely related to Grand Duke Xiao En...But although the Millennium Covenant Empire must bear the brunt, but In addition to resisting the Millennium Covenant Empire that might attack our country, the establishment of the Saint-Droens Fortress was also to prevent the undead army from the land of the black earth.”

The meaning of Marquis Flores' words is already very clear.

The opening of the Gate of Bones this time is naturally a great threat to the Millennium Covenant Empire, but it is also not without any threat to the Ryan Kingdom.

In the history of countless death tide outbreaks, Fort Saint-Drones has not encountered the attack of the death tide, but the general direction of the death tide attack is the Millennium Covenant Empire. However, the invasion of the undead army from the alien plane is definitely not the same as the dead tide in terms of nature and effect. Then, can the "Lian Left Gate", which has not fought for decades, be able to resist it?

And if they can't resist the attack of the undead army, after breaking through this "left portal", at least one-third of the entire southwest of the Ryan Kingdom will fall completely in less than three days. Because just behind this huge fortress, is the almost flat terrain of the Kingdom of Ryan - no natural dangers, no important places, and no strongholds and fortresses that can be established as a second line of defense.

"Just received the news that Prince Adams and his Covenant Legion have already set off." Marquis Flores said in a low voice, "Duke Devin and his legion are also ready to go. It's just that the parliament is still undecided. Let Duke Devin also dispatch to support Duke Roald, or let him go north to temporarily take over the position of His Royal Highness Prince Adams, and guard against the enemies of the Kingdom of Hales and the surrounding area."

"At a time like this, the Peace Council will definitely intervene. Even the Hales Kingdom or the wolves around it will never make a move at this time." Showing a bit of coercion and evil spirit, "Those guys in the council are nothing more than giving this huge credit to my brother. After all, we have a 'point' limit now, and my brother's current It's the last place in the ranking."

There were only three people participating in the competition for the throne of King Ryan, namely the eldest prince Adams, the third prince Allan, and the fourth princess Voorhees.

But unlike Arlan, who is good at diplomacy, and Vorshees, who is friendly to the people, Adams is a warrior through and through. Therefore, there is almost no suspense. In the first scoring data announcement in the recent period, Adams was naturally at the bottom, and he was a full five hundred points away from the second-ranked Princess Voorhees. And Arlan, who is temporarily ranked number one, is only 25 points ahead of Voorhees.

Right now, the council has asked Adams to lead his Covenant Legion to dispatch, making it clear that His Royal Highness wants to collect points.

In fact, it has always been a well-known secret that members of the military and political council are more optimistic about Adams.

The reason is simple, His Royal Highness is not good at internal affairs, so when the time comes, the military and political council will definitely have the final say on the policy of governing the country-it is impossible for a person to have no selfishness, no matter how saintly he is, he will definitely take care of himself future generations. Therefore, in some general directions, the military and political council will not make mistakes, but in some small details, they will naturally make some irrelevant arrangements.

Just like now.

The Covenant Legion can also be regarded as an army of the undead, let them fight the army of the undead, naturally there is no need to worry about them being "assimilated". Similarly, the characteristics of never dying and exhaustion and no need for logistics also allow them to fight extremely persistently.

On top of these various advantages, it is natural for Adams to lead the army to attack, and no one can refute it.

"Princess Vorshees, I think in the current situation, you'd better return to the Principality of Garrod with me." Suddenly, Asuna said, "The current situation in the capital is getting more and more chaotic. I heard that His Royal Highness Adams and His Royal Highness Allan were also assassinated before, but the news was suppressed.... At that time, those assassinations were hidden deeper in the recent period, and I was worried that they would have some bigger moves , and it's aimed at you."

Princess Vorshees was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to look at Marquis Floris, only to see Marquis Floris nodded, expressing agreement with Asuna's words.

Seeing this scene, Princess Fursis looked a little ugly: "Can... let me think about it? I will give you an answer before dinner."

"Okay." Asuna nodded.

Now, she was completely tied to the same chariot as Princess Voorhees, so she naturally didn't want to see any problems with Princess Voorhees.

...

And as the scope of the vibration of the space became wider and wider, a black cavalry regiment was also slowly heading south. (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team @沃林朋极]
