Lord of War

Sean felt that he was suffering from a mental injury called "visual shock", and this injury was not immune, it was a compulsory injury.

Seeing Sean's obviously disappointed look, Cecilia couldn't help chuckling: "Do you think princesses are all young and beautiful beauties?"

"It doesn't count." Sean thought for a while, and then he answered, "It's just that... the words of the elves..."

"In this world, where are there so many young and beautiful princesses? It's not a fairy tale." Cecilia smiled slightly, "Even if you are a princess, you don't necessarily have to be really beautiful or talented. Of course, if you are both If she is not beautiful and talented, then this is a tragedy for a princess born in the royal family, because at least the former can be used as a bargaining chip for political marriages, while the latter can enhance the overall strength and influence of the royal family."

Listening to Cecilia's words, Sean fell into silence.

Although the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe has an exquisite face that is unique to the elves, her body shape does exceed the standards of the elves by too much. Of course, Sean didn't have any thoughts or opinions on this princess. He just felt that after seeing this princess, some beautiful imaginations of fairy tales in his heart were indeed shattered by the cruelty of reality.

After listening to Cecilia's words, Sean also knew that fairy tales are just fairy tales after all. Although those stories cannot be completely denied, they are all beautified to a certain extent. And whether it is a princess or a prince, they are all ordinary people of their own race, and as long as they are ordinary people, they will always be ordinary or even incompetent, but because they are covered with a layer of princess or prince skin, they It will be beautified by outsiders through imagination. Once you can't meet this imaginary prince or princess, you will feel frustrated, deceived, even angry and many other negative emotional factors.

Perhaps for these princesses and princes, the noble birth has become their mental pressure instead.

"So because of political reasons, very few princesses can have the so-called freedom, at most they can be a little willful in certain things. The freedom you can have is still very limited..."

Sean's pupils shrank suddenly.

Cecilia is the princess of the Duchy of Rumble, which has long been no secret in Sean's inner circle, but everyone just pretends not to know it. Although Sean guessed that Cecilia herself might have noticed something more or less, but some things are indeed like a fig leaf. If no one uncovers them, then everyone will choose to keep quiet about many things. No one will touch this topic or sensitive point.

But now Cecilia said it herself,

Then the meaning is completely different, at least Sean knows that Cecilia is now truly relieved.

"... When I went to the Magic Academy of the Maggie Empire, my father arranged for me. I have no ability to refuse." Cecilia's voice continued, but after knowing that her mentality was completely different in the case of. Sean still likes to hear Cecilia talk about his past, "The situation in the principality was a bit complicated at that time. My father sent me away to ensure my safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was like what I said before. That way, in order to improve the overall strength of the royal family... But thinking about it now, I should be considered lucky, at least I was able to go to the Maggie Empire Academy of Magic for further studies. My other sister who is only one year older than me Has been identified as a future husband, and since then she has been going to etiquette lessons."

Sean listened quietly without interrupting. This was the first time he heard about the life and hardships of the royal family—whether in this world or in the game. Of course, because of Cecilia's relationship, Sean naturally felt a little more sympathy for the princess of the Xuefeng tribe. After all, the heavy pressure on such a noble child of the royal family is beyond what outsiders can imagine.

But pressure like this naturally has advantages and disadvantages. Because of these heavy pressures, those who can finally enter the list of royal heirs are all real talents, even if they are not as good as the so-called geniuses. But at least among their peers, age and even clan, they are the best and the most outstanding; as for those who cannot bear this pressure, they usually choose to give up fighting for the so-called heir early, becoming mediocre or even mediocre commoner.

In the face of pressure, there are also many ways to resist.

Some people choose to overeat. Some people will choose to release their lust, some people will choose to kill to vent their anger, and some people will choose to keep shopping.

Perhaps this princess from the Xuefeng Tribe chose to overeat to release her stress. According to Xiao En's understanding, many delicacies in this world are high-calorie foods. After all, the daily exercise of the strong and the training of soldiers need to consume a lot of physical energy and calories. If the calories far exceed the standard of the earth, the daily food consumption is likely to be several to ten times that of the earth. In this way, the world has already fallen into a situation of poor resources, and it is impossible to say that a small The principality of the country has a population of more than ten million.

The Miracle Continent has never been a world with vast land and few resources. The so-called barren land is only compared to those fertile areas. The reason why the extreme arctic ice region where the northern barbarians live is called a barren land is actually because of the harsh climate and environment there. It is not suitable to produce food through planting, but it does not mean that there will be fewer resources that can be used as food, but there is a relatively high risk in collection.

In the same way, since a barren land can be called a paradise, how can it be a barren land? Especially the areas occupied by the second-class and third-class seats are already very fertile, not to mention the first-class tribes, so in terms of self-sufficiency, they are completely enough to feed the population of those tribes. What's more, the closer the wild land is to the inner core area, the more active and common high-level monsters will be, and the nutritional value they contain far exceeds other monsters.

Therefore, in terms of high protein intake and high calorie intake, the wild land should be said to have more advantages than the human country. It's just that the barren land is in a state of war all year round, and all kinds of training have never stopped. In the case of the barren land, it is just a good balance.

Through this, Sean can roughly judge that the princess of the Xuefeng tribe should be a princess who relies on brainpower. Moreover, under the premise of the same high-intensity standard, the energy consumed by brain power far exceeds the energy consumed by physical energy, so naturally more calories need to be taken in to supplement, and this is based on the condition of long-term lack of exercise. Wanting to gain weight is also a matter of minutes.

With the elves' love of beauty, this princess of the Xuefeng tribe can tolerate her own body deformation, which shows what kind of sacrifice she has made for her tribe. This made Sean have a deeper feeling for what Cecilia said just now, so he looked at the princess in the center of the battlefield with a completely different flavor at this time.

For Xiao En, whether it is the Pofeng tribe or the Xuefeng tribe. It was just a transitional bridge for him to enter the barren land in the future. Of course, even without going through these two tribes, Sean himself has a plan to gain a firm foothold in the wild land. Judging from the feedback he has received so far, the progress of the wild land is smoother than his side in the Principality of Ryan. A lot, but considering that he still needs the aristocratic status of the Principality of Ryan as his cover, he doesn't care much about suffering some losses in this country for the time being. Otherwise, how could he tolerate those nobles bouncing around like clowns in front of him?

For many things, from the moment he became a lord, he had to consider the overall situation. Appropriate temper tantrums and self-will are fine, but none of these can conflict with his ultimate goal, otherwise, before he fully develops, he needs to choose to make appropriate concessions.

Looking at the slightly pale snow wind tribe princess, Sean glanced at Cecilia again. Then he sighed slightly.

At this time, the battle between the two sides in the battlefield seemed to have come to an end.

There were seven fighters from the Pofeng Tribe, but Xiao En didn't see the sword dancer he had fought with before, so he guessed that there might be eight or more opponents. As for the one responsible for protecting the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe, there are only two people left at this time, one of them is obviously stronger, and she can persist even if she is besieged by four or five people. Of course, the wounds on her body are still increasing unavoidably , this is obviously a defender; while the other fell beside the princess, his face was already very pale. There was a wound on his waist and abdomen that reached directly to the chest cavity, and outsiders could almost see the beating heart in the sternum through this wound.

Obviously, he wouldn't live long if he didn't take another shot at this man.

Perhaps because of his secret travels, Sean didn't see more Xuefeng tribe guards on the battlefield, except for this one who was still persisting and the one who was about to die. There are probably three corpses on the ground that should obviously belong to the guards of the Xuefeng tribe, and five corpses that should be the pursuers of the Pofeng tribe.

But what really surprised Sean was that he also saw a human corpse.

And Sean happened to know this human corpse.

Or, he had seen this corpse before.

The coachman who almost ran over the little girl outside Fort Tonis the day before yesterday.

Sean still remembered that the coachman got out of the carriage in a panic, and he was obviously relieved after seeing that the little girl was safe and sound. It's just that for some reason, he didn't go up to check it in detail, but threw a small bag of coins as compensation, and then hurriedly drove the carriage away again. The owner on the Internet should be really in a hurry.

At this moment, it seems that the owner should be the princess. And from that time on, they obviously knew that they were being hunted down by the assassins of the Pofeng tribe, and their rush at that time seemed to be a sign of panic now.

As for why it is still here not far from Tonis Fortress today, Sean already has an answer in his heart.

Judging from the size of the carriage I saw yesterday, after stuffing the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe, at most I can barely squeeze one more person: Judging from the current situation, it should be the one who is still fighting at this time. An elf defender. So last night they should have stayed in the inner city of Tonis Fortress all night, and the guard who was seriously injured at the moment brought the other three people to meet up, and then left immediately when the city gate opened in the morning.

However, these people were finally hunted down by assassins from the Pofeng tribe, and a series of battles started. It's just that because of the lack of manpower, he finally lost to the assassins of the Pofeng tribe. Of course, I am afraid that even the Xuefeng tribe did not expect that the Pofeng tribe would spare so much money to kill the princess. Only Xiao En has seen it now. There are already six gold-level powerhouses—there are still two gold powerhouses on the battlefield at this time, and the remaining five are all high-ranking silver peaks.

As for the Xuefeng tribe, at this time, only the defender is a high-ranking gold powerhouse, and the one who has been seriously injured may be the same, but it doesn't matter whether he looks like this now. Therefore, the death of the princess of Xuefeng Tribe is only a matter of time—or rather. It was already a certainty, because two people had already bypassed the defender and were about to attack the princess.

Although the defender tried his best to go over to help, it was a pity that he was entangled by two strong gold men and couldn't get away at all.

Probably, in the end, they could only watch the princess of Xuefeng Tribe die.

For such an ending, Sean was not surprised at all.

Originally in the game. This confrontation mission finally ended with the death of the princess. If it really follows the progress of history, then the princess is actually a person who must die.

But in fact, Sean is actually a little confused.

Since the Pofeng Tribe dispatched six gold powerhouses, why didn't they just use them all at once, instead they arranged for four gold powerhouses to stand guard outside? If all the six gold powerhouses made their moves, the princess might have been turned into a corpse eight hundred years ago. Which will stay until now.

"Sean..." Cecilia tugged at Sean's sleeve lightly.

Sean turned his head to look at Cecilia, and looked at her eyes that were clearly touched. Sean knew that Cecilia must have recalled his original life experience: If it hadn't been for that rainy night meeting, maybe now The fate of him and Cecilia will be completely different, right?

With a sigh, Sean patted Cecilia's head with his left hand, and then stood up: "I see."

The next moment, the Zongzi Druid was thrown out by Xiao En.

A distance of more than 30 meters was not a problem for Sean's arm strength at all. So when the elves of the Pofeng Tribe discovered the problem, the druid master was already very close to them. In a panic, the two elves who walked towards the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe thought it was some hidden weapon. Attack immediately.

Sean couldn't help but want to avenge that poor druid master.

These two elves are also sword dancers, so although the two of them are rushing to attack at this time, their swords are fast and ruthless. In just a few moments, with Sean's eyesight, he could see that at least thirty swords were swung at the rice dumpling druid, although the physique and ability of the master druid could not completely kill him. . But it is definitely enough to seriously injure him, this is enough.

Sean didn't want the druid master to regain his strength, and then turn into an iron-backed King Kong to trouble them.

After successfully blocking the two sword dancers, Sean walked out towards the battlefield with his sword in hand. At this time, both sides on the battlefield chose to temporarily stop because of this sudden change, but the people of the Pofeng tribe did not relax their vigilance because of this, but still surrounded the elf defender to prevent him from attacking the elf defender. Breaking out suddenly took the princess of Xuefeng Tribe away.

This is the advantage of the highland elves.

After believing in the Goddess of Hunting, the highland elves naturally improved to a certain extent in terms of combat skills, especially their combat intuition and sensitivity to some battlefield situations. They had advantages over other types of elves. But at the same time, they also have the degeneration of some other ethnic groups' specialties. For example, in the forest environment, they can no longer have the keen perception as before, so they also need to arrange sentry people, even when Xiao En was in the third Ten meters away, they couldn't find Sean at all.

This world is very fair, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

When the two sword dancers finally found out that the one they attacked just now was the druid master of their own tribe, they immediately exclaimed, even the Pofeng and Xuefeng tribes were also shocked . It's just that after the astonishment passed, the expressions of the two sides became more distinct: the Pofeng tribe looked as if they were facing a big enemy, while the Xuefeng tribe looked rejoicing.

No matter who came at this time, as long as they were enemies of the Pofeng tribe, they were their benefactors of the Xuefeng tribe.

Then, everyone saw Xiao En walking out of the forest alone.

At this moment, because Sean took off his cloak, all the elves present could naturally see the appearance of this young man.

His attire is very ordinary, there is nothing special about it, and even his body is just a set of common adventurer clothes for the convenience of movement, almost without any armor decoration. Only his right hand was holding a long sword, but it was impossible to tell what was unique about this sword just by looking at the blade. It was no different from the standard long sword most commonly found in blacksmith shops.

As a result, the people of the Xuefeng tribe naturally felt a little disappointed.

However, the people of the Pofeng tribe did not relax their vigilance because of this, and the vigilance on their faces became more apparent.

This made Xiao En have to sigh softly. The highland elves really deserved their reputation in terms of combat vigilance, which made him completely useless.

"This human friend, you'd better run quickly, it's none of your business." The flame of hope that the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe raised with great difficulty was extinguished at this moment, so she hurriedly said , I hope that innocent people will not be involved in the water as much as possible.

Different from Xiao En's imagination, although the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe is a bit beyond imagination, her voice is quite beautiful. Especially her heart is not bad, because Xiao En can clearly feel the sincerity in her words, not hypocritical polite words or some kind of trap, but sincerely wanting to avoid being involved in this battle come.

"It's okay." Sean chuckled lightly, with full confidence in his smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
