Start with an Archangel

As Daliang said, Duke Mars and Howard are old acquaintances.

During the confrontation between NJ City and Shangjiang City, Duke Howard led Shangjiang's army and defeated the Duke of Mars. The army at Shangjiang was invincible under the command of Howard. The devastating offensive was still fresh in the memory of Duke Mars.

It's just that Howard disappeared not long after he inherited the throne of Shangjiang City, and there has been no news yet.

Why did he suddenly appear here?

The Duke of Mars quickly calmed down his surprise after seeing Howard. After looking at Da Liang, he sat back down in his seat, touched the devil's horn on his head and asked: "What an unexpected guest... But, who can explain to me... what happened?" ?”

Da Liang leaned back on the back of the chair and left the next steps to Howard.

Howard was canonized as the Demon King of Power by Lucifer in hell, and his aura was even better than when he ascended the throne and became king. Especially after staying with the devil for a long time, there is an aura of violence everywhere.

He looked at Duke Mars and said: "Mars...what happened to me, I don't need to explain to you, and you are not qualified to know.

You just need to hand over your army to me, and I will do my best to help you defend NJ City.

Then I will leave. "

Originally waiting to see Howard's performance, he looked at the hero in surprise, but he didn't expect that his tone of persuading Duke Mars would be so strong. Isn't he afraid of arousing Duke Mars' stubborn temper and causing a rebellion?

But Duke Mars' expression did not change at all. The devil only respects those who are stronger than itself. On the battlefield, Duke Mars was beaten submissively by Howard.

Faced with Howard's direct request for military power in NJ City, Duke Mars really thought about it carefully before saying: "Howard. I don't know what you have been through since you disappeared, but I can see that you are stronger... It seems that you have become stronger." On the verge of touching the law.

Perhaps this is the reason why you suddenly disappeared from Shangjiang.

I am at a loss for what to do and unable to adapt to the changes in my neighbor Shangjiang. I feel that its power is like a palace floating on the water, and a big wave can knock it back to its original shape.

I know your city. King Joyce's ability is far inferior to that of you...and your brother. She is still young...and was influenced by some radical nobles to influence the direction of the city. "

Having said this, the Duke of Mars glanced at Daliang for a moment, and then continued to say to Howard: "What Shangjiang is doing now is really too risky. It's like he has a good deck of cards, but he is destroying himself. .

But after I saw you and saw that you were still guarding Shangjiang, I felt a lot more at ease.

But please understand my feelings. In order to defend Shangjiang and let my city be destroyed, I feel very uncomfortable.

Howard...you are a great commander, but that is not enough to convince me to fight for Shangjiang. "

When Daliang took over the defense of the western front from the King of the Hill, he considered how to fight the war here.

NJ City is different from Hang Z City. Hang Z City is an elf city that was controlled by the Dream Realm at the beginning of the war. Therefore, Hang Z City did not surrender to Shangjiang City. Instead, it experienced a great battle and was captured by the Five-Colored Flag Alliance Army.

The original aristocratic system in Hang Z City was abolished by King Joyce, and the city was directly incorporated into the ruling area of ​​​​Shangjiang. This resulted in the King of the Hill being on the defense line of Hang Z City. He did not need to consider the local nobles and could do whatever he wanted. Of course, the disadvantage is... the city defense of Hang Z City was seriously damaged after the war, and there are not many local troops for the King of the Hill to call upon.

However, NJ City surrendered to Shangjiang, which resulted in the aristocratic system of NJ City being relatively intact. NJ City and its sub-cities were not destroyed, the army was well-equipped and supplies were sufficient. Shangjiang does not need to provide much support to NJ City, and can save a lot of troops and materials for rear defense and support the Hang Z City defense line.

Precisely because the system of NJ City is complete, it is difficult for Shangjiang to parachute a commander here to be accepted by the aristocratic system of NJ City, let alone ask for military power and command the army of NJ City.

Daliang didn't think this small temple in NJ City could recognize the great god he was. It will definitely be difficult to ask the Duke of Mars for command, and facing the invasion of the stone wilderness at any time, time is tight.

Therefore, before coming to NJ City, Daliang first went to the Despair City in Hell and invited Howard over.

It was Howard's duty to defend Shangjiang, but the pressure from Yunzhong City on the entire hell made him dare not transfer too many guard forces to the Shangjiang battlefield. So Howard handed over the job of guarding Despair City to his deputy Bartlett, and followed Daliang alone to NJ City to meet Duke Mars.

Sure enough, in the eyes of Duke Mars, Daliang was a somewhat capable but too radical nobleman, but Howard's intimidation was very effective for Duke Mars.

The Duke of Mars' surrender tendency was no longer as resolute as it had been at the beginning.

After hearing Duke Mars' question about Daliang, Howard couldn't help laughing: "Mars... Grand Duke is already at the limit of your ability. So don't use your short-sighted and narrow vision to evaluate what Shang Jiang is doing. matter.

You have no idea who are the people sitting in front of you...or what is happening in this world?

If I were you... I would show cautious respect to Duke Feichen, because through the performance of entering the city here, it can be easily seen that there is a status gap between Duke Feichen and me.

If you fear me, you should fear Duke Feichen even more.

In this tide that is sweeping across the entire plane, you and I are just two chess pieces, one small and one big, and Duke Feichen is already a player participating in the game. "

Ever since Howard revealed his identity, Duke Mars has always had a very weird feeling. Now after Howard's reminder, he finally understood what the dissonance in his eyes was.

It's the status difference that is vaguely displayed between Daliang and Howard.

When two people with different identities stand together, even if they say nothing, outsiders can tell from some details and perceptions which of the two has a stronger identity.

Howard first became the Duke of Shangjiang, and later inherited the throne and reached its peak.

Daliang was a grassroots nobleman in Shangjiang City. He was quickly promoted from baron directly under the King of Donghai to duke.

According to the relationship between Daliang and Howard. Howard was the former king of Shangjiang City, and Daliang had been a vassal of the royal family for a period of time. Even if both of them were dukes, Daliang's status should be lower than Howard's.

But now...through the tacit understanding shown by Daliang and Howard, the status of Duke Feichen seems to be slightly higher than Howard.
