Lord of War

Although the Principality of the Void is only a principality, its actual comprehensive strength is not weaker than that of the Ryan Kingdom.

In terms of powerhouses, excluding Sean's Void Principality and Garrod Principality, there are only eight sanctuary powerhouses in the entire Ryan, seven of them are lower-level sanctuary, and one is a mid-level sanctuary powerhouse. But in the Principality of the Void, there are Vinia Pofeng, Cefanio, Rena, Rotikabas, Harding, and Cecilia among the lower sanctuary powerhouses. Dun Xuefeng has as many as seven people, which is completely equal to the number of sanctuary powerhouses in the Ryan Kingdom. As for the mid-level sanctuary powerhouse, Nolo Cassel is much stronger than the mid-level sanctuary township powerhouse of the Ryan Kingdom——Wengers Wilwach.

Only in terms of powerhouses, the Principality of the Void has completely stood on an equal footing with the Kingdom of Ryan.

It can even be said that it is stronger than the Kingdom of Ryan.

Because apart from the strong man from the Kingdom of Ryan, only two of the other seven lower sanctuary powerhouses are actually completely subordinate to the royal family of Ryan, and the remaining five are all strong men from major noble families. . If there is a conflict of interest with the royal family, it is not difficult to imagine what choices these powerful people will make.

But in the Principality of the Void, there is no such problem.

Reina, Rotikabass, Harding, Sefanio, and Nolo are all under Sean's command; Marton and Vinia, the two highland elves, are only allies with Sean, but for Sean En's orders basically would not resist; and Cecilia, let alone, completely took Xiao En's words as an imperial decree.

In terms of military strength, Ryan's total military strength is about two million - of course, this is a figure including the nobles' private troops in all of Ryan's territories, which is exactly ten times that of the Void Principality. But Ryan can win only by quantity. In terms of quality, it is comparable to the Void Principality, and it can even be said that the Void Principality is slightly better.

In the entire Ryan, there is only one fifth-level army and nine fourth-level troops. One of the fifth-level armies and two fourth-level armies are under the firm control of the Ryan royal family. As for the other seven fourth-tier armies, they are controlled by the other five Dukes of Ryan and two equally powerful noble families.

And the Duchy of the Void. Not to mention the already famous Cecilia Guards, Thunder Lions, Iron Wings, and Scarlet Knights are already fourth-tier armies, which are the First Infantry Regiment under Commander Stalin, the Second Infantry Regiment under Commander Nock and the Altdorf The commander's motorized infantry regiment has basically reached the level of the fourth-level army-what they lack now is the replacement of armaments. This is six fourth-level troops. If you count the dark wings and the condemned wings that William had secretly trained before, the four-level and five-level armies respectively, the Duchy of the Void now has nine first-class armies.

If you count the upcoming barbarian army and the silver temple army, which are also at the fourth and fifth levels, the Duchy of the Void has a total of eleven powerful armies, two of which are at the fifth level. In terms of military power, it is naturally slightly stronger than the Ryan Kingdom. If you add the advantages of famous generals, Reina's aura of war, and the priests and priests from the Church of Life and the Church of Ice and Snow Winter. The military power is even more complete than the Kingdom of Ryan.

It can be said that even if the Principality of the Void wants to be directly upgraded to a kingdom, the Kingdom of Ryan has nothing to do with the Duke of the Void.

Of course, upgrading does not mean that Sean can do whatever he wants, at least he must have a way to check and balance Ryan - this is a means that all principalities must ensure if they want to upgrade the kingdom, and its purpose is naturally to prevent the two countries from If you fight, you will lose and lose, and then others will benefit from it.

Of course, the reason why Ryan dared to upgrade, in addition to swallowing Dabion in one breath, was also artificially created by Enkos to block the road between the Millennium Covenant and Ryan, and the Millennium Covenant was in civil strife.

at present. Sean doesn't have much malice towards the Ryan Kingdom, so he won't consider upgrading to the Kingdom for the time being.

But no matter what, the Void Principality is powerful. That's for all to see. Although many nobles still don't know how powerful the Duchy of the Void is, but after Sean almost had an accident last time, he was directly named Grand Duke not long after he was conferred the title of Duke. Everyone knows that the Void Principality now has the capital that does not need to buy the account of the Ryan royal family.

Therefore, when the borders that the Void Principality had blocked for half a year finally began to be lifted, the various caravans that had been trapped in the Void Principality for half a year immediately left the Void Principality as if they were fleeing. At the same time, there were also various news from the Void Principality—such as the large-scale mobilization of the army. The Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance was looted, military supplies were recruited, large-scale logistics operations, and so on.

Except for the tragic looting of the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, all other news indicates that the Void Principality is about to launch a large-scale military operation.

All the nobles who bordered on the territory of the Void Principality immediately panicked.

Because no matter how they inquire. They couldn't even find out who the enemy of the Void Principality put on such a posture of pouring out all the power of the country this time, but they can be sure. That is, the Principality of the Void is definitely not putting on a show.

All of a sudden, these barons, viscounts, and earls were all in danger, fearing that they would become the target of the Void Principality.

But this is no wonder, because although the Principality of the Void is nominally a subsidiary of the Kingdom of Ryan, and their lords can be regarded as "our own people". But in fact, the real situation is that they are not in the same system at all. This is like the factions in the Ryan Military Department. On the surface, they are all their own people, but once the interests of some of their own factions are involved, Then there will be an undercurrent surging and fighting each other to break the blood.

Therefore, on the premise that there is no explicit excuse, these lords and Sean are naturally their own people, but if Sean finds an excuse, then even if Sean wants to destroy all these lords, it is not a problem. Of course, due to the ancient noble law, it is impossible for Sean to directly occupy their territory, but it is also allowed in the rules to support another puppet family.

...

At this time, in the royal palace of King Lane, the Marquis of Floris was walking into the study of King Ingels of Lane with a letter.

The industrious King Ryan is not a king who only seeks pleasure.

on the contrary. He is a true wise king.

In his hands, Ryan not only restored to the size of the kingdom, but also destroyed the long-standing enemy - the kingdom of Darbion. are completely wiped out. It can be said that Ingels Lane's achievements are no less than those of the founder of the Lane Kingdom. Even in some respects. It should be far superior to his ancestor—Ledesyn Ryan, because although the Kingdom of Ryan back then was also a kingdom, it was only a low-level kingdom barely linked to the third-rate level, far inferior to the second-rate kingdom that is now firmly seated. seat.

Since ancient times, it has been easy to start a business and difficult to keep it.

However, Ingels not only succeeded in starting the business, but also brought Ryan to a higher level, creating a better platform and foundation for his descendants. Of course these. There is also a price, that is, Ingels seems to have aged more than ten years in just two or three years. However, there is no way to do this. After all, after annexing the Kingdom of Dabion, there are too many things that Ingels needs to handle personally. Gus' full energy.

Especially since Ingels let Xiao En and Asuna establish the Duchy of the Void and the Duchy of Garrod respectively, many nobles in the country have appeared to be obedient to the royal family. Regarding the emergence of this situation, although Ingels was very angry, there was no good way to solve these problems immediately. After all, he, the King of Ryan, prevented these nobles from seizing more benefits Chance.

To know. After annexing the Kingdom of Dabion, many new interests arose.

It was just that Ingels chose to accept a large number of Dabiang expensive people in order to be able to digest Dabiang's national power and resources as quickly as possible. As a result, more than half of the interests here are still in the hands of the nobles of Dabiang. As for the remaining half of the profit, Ingels gave two-thirds of it as a reward to Sean, Asuna, and the nobles who participated in the war against Dabion.

In this way, the royal family must also intercept some of the remaining one-third of the benefits.

Therefore, it can be said that there are almost no benefits that can really be brought to the nobles of Ryan. Especially after Xiao En occupied the Canyon Rift, he blocked the entry and exit of the wild land and cracked down on all slave trades. As a result, these nobles were naturally even more annoyed, and naturally hated the enfeoffment of Sean as a void The Grand Duke's House of Lane.

But these nobles don't have the guts to make any rebellious actions against the Ryan royal family—at least. After not having enough allies and powerful allies, no noble dared to rebel. That's why the Ryan royal family found out about the murder of Sean by the Sené nobles. After degrading and cutting a group of people, these nobles have no main reason to resist. It's just that their mentality will definitely not be better.

At this time, the King of Lane, who gets up earlier than chickens, eats less than pigs, works more than donkeys, and sleeps later than dogs, Ingus Lane, saw the solemn look on the face of Marquis Floris. When he walked into his study room, his expression froze slightly, and he immediately realized that there must be a serious problem, otherwise his confidant would not have appeared in the palace so suddenly.

Ingels slowly took off the pair of small and exquisite glasses, and then put them on a document he was reviewing just now. After pinching his brows, he looked at Marquis Floris and said, "What happened?"

In the past more than a year, the teleportation magic circle was first popularized in the entire Kingdom of Ryan, so although the traffic situation in the Kingdom of Ryan has not changed much, in some emergency situations, the transmission of military reports can be said to be direct of. Therefore, if the Marquis of Floris wants to come to the palace, naturally he does not need to travel for several months like in the past, but generally even if the Marquis of Floris wants to come to see the king, he will at least notify him one or two days in advance, and It's not like going directly into Ingels' study room without notice like now.

"The border blockade of the Principality of the Void has been lifted." Marquis Floris said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Ingels' eyes lit up, and he said immediately, "Do you know what happened in the past six months?"

The Marquis of Floris nodded, and then said: "Sure enough, it is related to the previous conspiracy against the Duchy of the Void, but it has been confirmed that it is not a coup within the Duchy of the Void, but an invasion from the outside world.  … In this battle, the news that William died in battle has been confirmed. This is a false news, he was only injured and recuperating, but the real person died. It was the commander of the steel wings, a void barbarian named Annuo."

Northern barbarians. It has now officially split into two groups.

One is the northern barbarians who can only be found in the north of Miracle Continent, and the other is the northern barbarians who made their home in the Void Principality. The former is still called the barbarians of the North, and is still a well-known idiot in the Miracle Continent; but the latter has obtained a brand new race title, called "Void Barbarians", and they have better abilities than the average barbarians of the North. Resilience and wisdom, especially in terms of combat effectiveness, are exceptionally strong.

"A commander of an elite army died?" Ingels nodded slightly, expressing his understanding, "If that's the only way, you probably wouldn't have come to me in person."

Hearing what Ingels said, the Marquis of Floris smiled helplessly: "If that's the case, then of course I wouldn't just come here to disturb Your Majesty. In fact..." At this point, the Marquis of Floris had already The letter was handed over to Ingels, His Majesty of the Kingdom of Ryan, and then he said in a helpless tone: "The Principality of the Void has officially issued a notice to attack the Marquis of De Rohan, because this time the The military operation to invade the Principality of the Void is said to be led by the Marquis."

Hear the words of Marquis Floris. Ingels' complexion also changed suddenly, and he opened the letter from the Marquis Floris, put on his glasses again and quickly scanned it. His face gradually became serious as he read. So much so that when the last letter was read, Ingels' face had become extremely gloomy.

The space in the study became stagnant.

After a moment of silence, Ingels said in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

"I have spent a month investigating the Marquis after receiving the notification letter from the Duchy of the Void, but..."

"But?" Ingels raised his eyebrows.

"It's impossible for him to have the strength to endanger the Duchy of the Void. The lord's own strength is nothing more than high-ranking silver, and the strongest under his command is only low-ranking gold. The strength of the army is not bad. But that is compared to other nobles. "The Marquis of Floris said in a deep voice, "No matter how you look at it, this Marquis definitely doesn't have the courage and strength to go to trouble the Duchy of the Void... But in fact, he not only did this, but also succeeded. It is said that he almost It killed William at one point."

"You mean..." Ingels' pupils shrank suddenly.

"Yes, there must be other conspiracies behind this, or...participants." Marquis Floris said in a deep voice.

"But according to what you mean, it seems that you can't find out at all."

"Very ashamed." The Marquis of Floris lowered his head in shame, and said with a slumped face, "I have exhausted all resources to investigate in the past month, but I still haven't found any clues. All the evidence It all shows that this matter is the work of the Marquis and has nothing to do with anyone else."

Ingels' expression became extraordinarily dignified.

Seeing Ingels' face, the Marquis of Floris did not dare to speak casually at this time. He is very clear that in addition to supervising the Fortress of Tonis, his duty is also to collect all the intelligence of the entire Kingdom of Ryan, so it stands to reason that if the Marquis of De Rohan takes any action, he should be the first knew. But in fact, he didn't know the real reason why the Void Principality blocked the border half a year ago until he received a notification letter from the Void Principality a month ago.

In any case, it was all his fault.

But what really made him angry was that after receiving the notice from the Duchy of the Void a month ago, he devoted all his free resources to the investigation of the Marquis of De Rohan, but the result was still nothing. It can even be said that if it wasn't for the announcement sent by the Principality of the Void that they had found the real enemy, then from the beginning to the end, the head of the secret intelligence department of the Kingdom of Ryan would have been afraid that even this conspiracy against the Principality of the Void Whoever initiated the incident is unknown.

For the Marquis of Floris, this is simply a great shame.

"How did Sean know that this matter is related to the Marquis of De Rohan?" Ingels asked.

"Originally they didn't know who initiated this conspiracy, but after William was attacked, the Duchy of the Void immediately sealed off the border, and then found that several people tried to break through the blockade to leave. The strong immediately took these people down, and found evidence of their connection with the mysterious army in their temporary residence." The Marquis of Floris has a very thorough understanding of these known information, In a few words, all the clues and evidence were reported, "Afterwards, torture was launched against them, but these people should be dead soldiers, and they didn't speak until they died. But after that, the Principality of Void conducted a nationwide A large-scale investigation quickly discovered several suspicious persons who had colluded with these dead men, and correspondence with the Marquis of De Rohan was discovered in their residence."

Inggs nodded, then took off his glasses again, and exhaled heavily: "Since Grand Duke Xiao En hopes that our Ryan royal family will not interfere in this matter, then we should pretend that we don't know anything. ... Anyway, that Since the Marquis de Rohan dared to make these conspiracies, he should also be prepared to be retaliated after being discovered. However, you still have to pay close attention to every move of the Marquis de Rohan. I want to know who are there Participated in this conspiracy."

"I see." Marquis Floris nodded, then turned and left the study.

At the moment when Marquis Flores was about to leave the study, Ingels suddenly stopped him: "That's right.... Prepare to implement the 'Bad Blood Project'."

When he heard the name of "Bad Blood Project", the Marquis of Floris couldn't help but trembled. He turned his head and looked at Ingels in disbelief, but saw a look of determination in Ingels' eyes , obviously has made up his mind. Regarding this, Floris first sighed heavily, then nodded, and made a courtesy to Ingels: "Follow your orders, Your Majesty."

Looking at his confidant, Ingels finally showed a smile on his face, and then signaled for him to back down.

This time, the Marquis of Floris slowly retreated outside the study while maintaining a bowed posture, and then closed the door.

But when he closed the door and straightened up again, there was a hint of sadness on his face.

...

at the same time.

The Void Principality, which has been preparing armaments, food and grass for a whole month, finally woke up like a beast that had been sleeping for a long time and opened its eyes.

As the vanguard of the Thunder Lion, it directly crossed the border of the Duchy of the Void and stepped into the territory of the neighboring Earl Dalysa.
