The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife

Inside Frostwolf Castle.

David held a letter from the capital of Silvermoon.

After the death of the old king of Silvermoon, the second prince Bronco Silvermoon, who had already moved into the palace, announced that he would inherit the throne.

But this was only the news released by the second prince Bronco Silvermoon.

Now the upper nobles of the entire Silvermoon Kingdom are discussing this shocking news.

Even many nobles do not accept the second prince's words. Some people claim that the King of Silvermoon fell because of a murder, and it was the second prince Bronco Silvermoon who murdered him.

The so-called serious illness was just a play directed by the second prince Bronco Silvermoon, just because he couldn't wait to ascend the throne.

David didn't need to guess at all, he knew that these words came from the camps of the first prince Gould Silvermoon and the third prince Reynolds Silvermoon.

But no matter who was right or wrong in this argument, the second prince, with the strong support of the Duke of the West and the Prime Minister, still temporarily seized the power of the supreme ruler of Silvermoon as the king's agent.

The eldest prince Gould Silver Moon and the third prince Reynolds Silver Moon simultaneously declared war on the second prince Bronco Silver Moon.

Chaos, the entire Silver Moon is in chaos!

"What is coming has finally come."

David's face was calm at this time.

The time of the civil war he expected was originally summer.

What happened now was not beyond his expectations.

However, the death of King Silver Moon was indeed very strange, and he was actually more inclined to believe that it was the second prince who did it.

Of course, all this is no longer important.

History is written by the victor.

If the second prince wins, King Silver Moon himself died of illness.

And if someone else wins, they will definitely blame the death of King Silver Moon on the second prince and find a legitimate reason for their declaration of war.

Reina also pushed open the door of the office and walked in.

"My Lord Duke, what happened?"

David threw the document to his secretary, and lay down on the armchair, with his feet on the desk, closing his eyes and thinking.

Reina took the document and looked at it, and her face gradually became solemn.

"War has begun?"

"Yes, it has begun."

David nodded, "Next, the second prince will definitely launch a conscription."

He and Rena had discussed this point a long time ago.

Now, the eldest prince Gould Silvermoon controls the East, and the third prince Reynolds Silvermoon controls the South.

The West is in the hands of the second prince, and the North has become a no-man's land with the decline of the Frostwolf family.

Therefore, the eldest prince and the second prince will launch a conscription in the North, forcing the nobles of the North to take sides.

All the families that do not obey the conscription will be eliminated by the two princes first and become the victims of this internal struggle of Silvermoon.

But this is also an opportunity for Frostwolf Ridge. As long as they resist the attack of the second prince, Frostwolf Ridge can prove that they have the strength and qualifications to remain neutral.

"Next, Frostwolf Ridge must also be prepared for battle."

Rena nodded after hearing this, "The walls of Frostwolf Ridge have been almost built and will be completed in the near future. The second team of wolf cavalry is also being formed, and the noble knights have all been incorporated by us."

She reported the achievements made by Frostwolf Ridge during this period one by one. During this period, the Frostwolf family has gradually recovered the surrounding territories.

David's attitude towards these vassals of the Frostwolf family has always been to retain the titles and fiefs, but confiscate the power to form a knight's order.

Therefore, now his territory includes Eagle Wing Castle, Silver Fox Town and other vassal territories, and all the knights have joined the Frostwolf Knights.

This also ensures David's absolute control over the surrounding territories, which can prevent these nobles from having the opportunity to defect at this time of war.

As for the nobles of Ice Bear City, after the defeat of the Ice Bear City coalition, their foundation has long been hollowed out and they are no longer a big threat.

"Okay, let's continue recruiting militias."

"Tell the Gray Wolf Knights not to worry about resource consumption and train more knight attendants as soon as possible. I will find a way to tame another batch of gray wolves." David issued a series of orders, which made the entire Frost Wolf Ridge move.

Of course, not only Frost Wolf Ridge, but also the lords of the entire Silver Moon Kingdom who got the news took action. Even the Kingdom of Crystal Song, which is close to the Silver Moon Kingdom, is ready to take advantage of the opportunity and get a share of the pie!

...

Wizard Castle.

Annie put down the book in her hand.

It was the first day of the week again, and this was the time for her to contact the outside world.

She closed her eyes to communicate with the spirit and began to arrange the summoning ceremony.

After she placed a black feather in the ritual array, she successfully summoned the little black bird and took out a letter from the little black bird.

Annie fed a piece of cake to the little black bird and then began to check.

She first read Rosaria's letter, which mentioned that Rosaria had taken some companions to the Far North.

Since then, with Rosaria's departure, the Witches' Guild also came to an end. This was the last letter from Rosaria in their correspondence.

After reading the letter, Anne sighed slightly.

Since she decided to stay in Frostwolf Ridge, they have embarked on two completely different paths. It's not about right or wrong, they just want to survive.

Anne burned the letter directly in the candle. She didn't send the little black bird back to Rosaria. As the other party said, they would not have any contact in the future. This is the best choice for both parties.

"You will live here from now on."

Annie touched the head of the little black sparrow and fed it another piece of cake.

Then, she urged her mental power to summon the little white mouse.

These summoned beasts, like the gray wolf, have weak extraordinary blood, so her third-level mental power can contract many of them and use them as messengers.

Now, she summoned these messenger summoned beasts one by one, so that she could get in touch with the witches and understand their situation.

"Is Ye Zi coming soon?"

Annie opened a letter with a look of surprise on her face.

Although the Northland is not big, for the civilians in this world, many of them have never left the village where they lived in their entire lives.

Therefore, even for these witches, it is not easy to avoid the church and the lord while coming to the Frost Wolf Forest in the westernmost part of the Northland.

Now, finally a witch who is willing to come has come to the Frost Wolf Forest, which makes her feel relieved and immediately plans to tell the Duke the news.

Afterwards, she looked through the letters of other witches, replied to them one by one according to their situations, and asked whether they needed to pick them up in person.

In fact, even Anne didn't know where these companions were going.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a different letter, which also came from a noble witch. It recorded the death of King Silver Moon, the announcement of the second prince's ascension to the throne, and the news that the eldest prince took the opportunity to declare war.

"The civil war has begun."

"The North will not be safe next."

Anne sighed and wrote back to these witches again.

In her heart, she mentioned the upcoming battle in the North, asking them to make a decision as soon as possible, even if they did not go to Frostwolf Forest, they should stay away from the battlefield.

Unfortunately, in the letter, she did not dare to reveal more information about Frostwolf Ridge and the wizard castle, in case it accidentally fell into the hands of the church.

She really wanted to tell these companions that Frostwolf Ridge was really good, there was a castle belonging to wizards, and the Duke of Frostwolf would protect all witches.

Now, she could only hope that these companions would believe her, follow the guidance of the messenger, come to the vicinity of the Frost Wolf Forest, and join the wizard castle.

…

The next day.

David went to the wizard castle.

He came here this time to ask about the wizard.

Originally, he planned to use the power of the wizard to fight against the second prince.

Then, he learned from Anne that a witch named Leaf would come to the Frost Wolf Forest, and the other party's ability was to control plants!

"Control plant growth?" David narrowed his eyes.

This ability sounds very suitable for farming.

I just don't know if the other party's ability can act as a fertilizer, so as to help those crops grow better and let the territory usher in a bumper year.

"Don't worry, I will take you to greet it in person." David said in a deep voice.

Anne nodded, and then continued to ask: "My Lord Duke, has the war in the Silver Moon Kingdom really begun?"

David heard it and looked at the witch unexpectedly.

He knew that the other party had the power of a summoner, which could be used to communicate with those witches, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so well-informed.

He did not hide it and nodded, "You are right."

"How do you plan to deal with it?" Anne continued to ask.

David did not answer, but smiled and said, "If you want wizards to live freely on this continent, the church must perish, and I will ascend the throne!"

Anne was startled, and suddenly a brilliance flashed in her eyes.

She had never thought that the Frostwolf Duke would be so ambitious.

Ascend the throne and destroy the church!

After she reacted, she knelt on one knee without hesitation and swore allegiance, "Then, I am willing to help you ascend the throne!"
