Lord of War

When the Millennium Covenant Empire felt that the end of the world might have come, the Principality of Ryan suddenly fell into a kind of joy.

The garrison of the Millennium Covenant Empire, located 30 miles outside the Fortress of Saint-Drones, suddenly withdrew for some reason. Although this is indeed good news, when a huge black barrier suddenly appeared in the area where the Empire of the Millennium Covenant was originally stationed, the soldiers of Fort Saint-Drones might not be happy. There is even a kind of sadness on the face.

Especially even if they were thirty miles apart, everyone in the fortress could feel an extremely uncomfortable strange feeling.

If there are members of the church here, they must be able to find that this is the aura that belongs to the abyss, and this aura is extremely tyrannical. It is obvious that the creatures in the barrier are definitely not small. But it's a pity that there are no church personnel stationed in the Saint-Droens Fortress, so they couldn't find that there was a great devil at the level of the Lord of the Abyss planting flowers and grass to sleep late.

Anyway, his task was to drive away the people from the Millennium Covenant Empire, and Andrew promised to give him a thirty-day vacation.

Enkos always felt that having a thirty-day vacation was really comfortable, and he couldn't wait to show off to Bess, because he knew that Bess was stuck in one place and couldn't move. For Enkos, it was actually the same as lying in Andrew's coffin. Perhaps it was a coffin with a larger scope? Enkos thought it would be a good idea to run to the maximum edge of the bass's range of motion to let out a little bit of his own breath, and then make some barbecue there.

However, compared to the panic in Fort Saint-Drones, the royal family of the Principality of Ryan seemed very happy.

Because not only the garrison of the Millennium Covenant Empire withdrew, but even the dragon knight Turman who originally planned to go to Panda collar returned to the empire in a hurry. Although he didn't say hello to the Principality, but flew back directly on a dragon, which made the Grand Duke of the Principality a little unhappy, but at least after the haze of the Millennium Covenant Empire was gone, Grand Duke Ryan was really happy.

Of course, another piece of joyful news is that he has heard that Baron Panda and Earl Tinchin of Darbion have started a war, and they have successfully won a beautiful battle. The two territories that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Dabion, the Territory of Yedby and the Territory of Tinchin, have been divided up by the Baron Panda and the Marquis of Tonis.

For Grand Duke Ryan, this is naturally a very face-saving matter.

But for other nobles in the Principality, it was very annoying.

the reason is simple.

For the nobles, if they want to grow their families, it is naturally a foreign war. Only in this way can military merit be obtained, the family can be promoted again, and the family can become more prosperous. But now the north of the Principality of Ryan is the territory of the trade capital, and the entire west to south is the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire. It is obviously impossible for these two forces to provoke them. The only thing that can be provoked is the Kingdom of Darbion in the east.

However, he was going to trouble the Dabion Kingdom. Then you must go through the Tonis Fortress of the Marquis Tonis. There is no formal excuse. Can the private soldiers of these nobles be sent out? That is simply making yourself uncomfortable.

At this time, many nobles began to resent Kiasna. If she hadn't insisted on returning all the occupied territories to the Darbion Kingdom a few years ago, how could they be confined and unable to develop now? So these conspiracy theory guys, whether they are emerging aristocratic groups or old aristocratic groups.

At this moment, I feel that Asuna chose to return those territories because she was afraid that they would become stronger.

And now, seeing that pioneer knight who was under Asuna's command before, now occupying a territory equivalent to an earldom, these people feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.

How can a baron sit on a territory that is equivalent to an earl's territory, how can this make people feel good?

They also heard. Asuna recruited a new pioneer knight, and this time it was even more extreme. She actually took the earldom of Tinchin as the development territory of this pioneer knight. Can live.

As a result, the call to declare war on Dabiang began to increase in the country.

Xiao En didn't know that now the Principality of Ryan was filled with a kind of war fanaticism. You must know that this was not the plan in his script. Although Xiao En came to this world, many ideas have been changed, and he has gradually learned how to behave like those nobles, and he will also think about problems from the political point of view of the nobles, but sometimes many things are actually lacking in consideration, which is a bit too much. Take it for granted.

In his mind, history will inevitably develop gradually according to the plot of the game, so what he needs is to start a war, and then give Asuna an excuse to intervene, and then trigger a war between the two countries. In fact, the history in the game is indeed It evolved in this way, but tens of thousands of players piled up the role of instigating the war at that time in the form of piles of tasks.

But in this real world, people have their own seven emotions and six desires, such as human heart, human nature, desire, ambition, etc., if only one of them sprouts, it is likely to turn into a prairie fire situation. So in this world, real counselors follow the trend, and almost no one will do things that go against the trend, so the only thing Sean didn't consider is that his actions are actually building momentum.

But now that the momentum has come, the Principality of Ryan's call for war is to follow the trend.

If Sean knew this, then he would definitely be more discreet and cautious in his actions, instead of being so high-profile. Because once the Principality of Ryan took the initiative to declare war and followed the trend, Sean would get too little benefit from it, and it could even be said that he would completely lose his dominant position in this war.

But Sean didn't know any of this.

He didn't even know that Andrew had already shot Turman away for him, and he didn't know that because of the visit of Enkos, the army of the Millennium Covenant Empire withdrew from the Fortress of St. The civil strife and coup event has not been brought forward.

Sean's only concern now is when Thain will come back.

And, how much he will bring back.

...

This is a dilapidated manor in the forest, located in a forest in the northeast of Tingqiyinling, only half a day's drive from the nearest town.

This estate was built by Domingo's grandfather.

The Hastings family also had two crises of almost being wiped out. Especially the second time, when the enemy rushed straight to Fort Tinchin and waited on the sidelines, if it weren't for the timely support of the allies at that time, the Hastings family would have died in that war. So after that war, the fourth generation head of the Hastings family secretly built this forest manor here. After all, the name of Fort Tinchin is too famous, and it is very likely that the enemy will intercept and kill it there. , so since then, the resources in the territory have been secretly transported to the manor continuously.

Only the real core members of the Hastings family knew about this place, and even the Nugus family didn't know that the Hastings family had such a secret hiding place.

now. A young man in a rather embarrassing figure broke into the manor.

He didn't go through the main entrance, but climbed in through a wall.

He seemed to have no strength left, he just fell to the ground after climbing over the wall, he couldn't stand up, he was gasping for breath.

Sudden. A long thorn fell obliquely, and then landed on the young man's neck.

The young man turned his head in horror. It seems to be because of excessive movement. He was accidentally scratched by the long sword, blood flowed out from a small wound, and soon soaked the white shirt on his body red.

"Sion!"

When the middle-aged man with the sword saw the young man clearly, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he immediately put away the long sword, and helped Thain up with a look of joy.

"Uncle Kerry!" Thain suddenly stood up. Then he threw himself into the middle-aged man's arms, as if his tense nerves were finally relaxed, and suddenly tears flowed from Thain's eyes, "I... I lost! I lost completely! They still have a A powerful reinforcement army. The information given to us by the Nugus family is wrong, they actually have seven gold powerhouses! Mr. Robert, in order to protect...he...he..."

"Sigh." The middle-aged man sighed, and patted Thain's back lightly, "It's okay, it will get better, our Hastings family will never be defeated so easily!"

"By the way, where is your father?" Thain raised his head and asked expectantly.

"Lord Domingo..." The middle-aged man named Kerry looked embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

"No!" Thain's expression became abnormal in an instant, and he stepped back a few steps, "You lied to me! You must be joking with me, right! Father... Father..."

Seemingly unwilling to believe this ending, Thain was about to rush towards the house, but was caught by Kerry with one hand.

"Let me go!" Thain roared, "I don't believe it!"

"Sion! Calm down!" Kerry yelled, his tone aggravated, "Your father said before he died that you will be the next head of the Hastings family. You are now Hastings." The head of the family, if you are like this, how can you lead the rest of our clan to revenge?"

Hearing Kerry's words, Thain's face was bleak, and tears kept flowing from his eyes, but he pressed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"Sigh." Seeing Thain's appearance, Kerry sighed, "Don't think too much, the people who escaped from Hastings Manor that night have all gathered here. You should rest first , You have worked hard these days, we are very safe here, and they will come back to discuss the next action at night."

After a long silence, Thain lowered his head and said with a calm face: "Uncle Kerry, how many of us... have escaped?"

"Hey, there are fifteen people who escaped, but now there are only nine people left including me and you." Kerry said with a sad face.

"Then... what about the core members of the family?" Thain asked.

The most important thing in a family is naturally the core members, the so-called direct descendants and those who are truly talented. The Hastings family is not particularly large, but it is not small either. There are more than forty members of the family living in Hastings Manor, but only a dozen or so people can really be counted as core members, but since Soma Hai After Sting disappeared and Avi Hastings, Taylor, Turner and others died, the core members dropped sharply to less than double digits.

"It's just me and Heika." Kerry said softly, "But now Heika is seriously injured and resting in his room."

"Uncle Kerry, I will definitely avenge the family!" Thain said suddenly, "I will definitely avenge my father, and I will definitely revitalize the Hastings family!"

"I know." Kerry nodded, "I believe you can do it too!"

"By the way, Uncle Kerry, I want to borrow something from you." Thain suddenly raised his head and said.

"What……"

Before Kerry could finish his sentence, he saw a flash of sword light suddenly swiping past, and his head flew up immediately after.

Soon, the human head fell from the air and rolled a few times on the ground. His already dusty face instantly became dirtier, but there was still a bit of kindness in his eyes.

Thain looked at Kerry's head, his eyes gradually became gloomy. Although there were still tears on his face, there was already an aura of indifference on his body, which was infinitely close to the critical point of the next gold powerhouse: " That's your head, Uncle Kerry."

After a while, Thain blew a whistle and made a bird song.

Soon, barbarians from the north began to climb over the wall from outside the manor.

As Thain waved his finger to several buildings ahead, two to three hundred soldiers with steel wings consciously divided into several teams and began to enter these buildings. After a while, there were screams of anger and fighting in these buildings, but these voices did not last long, and turned into screams, and then the corpses were taken from the buildings one by one by the northern barbarians. Take it out and put it in front of Thain.

Including Kerry's headless corpse, there are a total of eight corpses, but there are reports from the northern barbarians in the garden behind the manor, and there are seven new tombstones.

No more, no less, exactly fifteen people.

Thain quickly took these soldiers with steel wings, broke open the door of a basement, and then entered a basement.

This basement is comparable to the basement level of the Black Swan Castle, and may even be wider than that. At this moment, the basement is filled with all kinds of gold coins, jewels, weapons, and even many precious and rare materials and blueprints, but what really catches the eye is the set in the middle of the basement. armor.

Thain knew that this was the real heirloom of the Hastings family, a set of legendary armor!

Similarly, he already knew that the information Domingo told him was obviously wrong, because the wealth in the basement obviously exceeded one million, not to mention the set of legendary armor, only gold coins and various material resources were worth at least As much as four or five million, this is obviously more than the background of an earl family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the background of a top marquis family.

There was a gloomy look in Thain's eyes, and then he said in a deep voice, "Move them all away!"

"yes!"

All the barbarians in the north immediately started moving without hesitation.

Seeing the movements of these northern barbarians, Thain's face was very calm, but the nails of his clenched fists had almost pierced into the flesh, and the blood had already stained his fists red. dripping continuously.

"I will definitely avenge the Hastings family!"
