The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

A new king has changed the world.

Although the succession of the throne has not been completed yet, but with the ruling power, Charlotte's influence is no longer different from that of the real king.

And if the previous speculations are true, then Charlotte becoming queen will be the only result.

This thought flashed through the minds of the nobles and officials present. Looking at the two young men standing side by side, they all knew that a new era had come.

"Your Royal Highness, Scarlet pledges allegiance to you!"

No one expected that the finance minister who was the first to express his position would remain neutral. As a veteran aristocrat, the Scalide family has been drifting between the royal power and the divine power, but what happened today, Dario's death, completely put him Pushed to the king's side.

"The Domeng family is willing to serve you loyally!"

With the first, there will be the second, and the third, at least on the surface, everyone present expressed their allegiance to Charlotte.

After everyone took their stand, Mr. Appleyard came forward.

"The Royal Academy of Engineering will always support your decisions."

"The Demon Hunter and the Bureau of Investigation will become the sharpest spear and the strongest shield." Sigmund said.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Duke Dressel lowered his head, "I am loyal to you, Your Royal Highness."

At this moment, Charlotte became the legitimate successor, and there was only one ceremony between her and the real queen.

"Teacher." After all the ceremonies were completed, everyone left the Iron Dome and entered the banquet hall inside the palace. Sigmund got rid of the entanglement of a group of nobles and took the initiative to find Duke Dressel.

"I thought you would expose Prince Philip's identity in public."

"Now is not the time." The Duke shook his head, "This country is not yet ready for war."

"Will war come?"

"I hope never." The duke sighed. "If Prince Philip's identity is revealed, the Church of the Oracle will lose the most important bargaining chip in Elam. This will force them to take risks and choose the last resort."

"War." Sigmund continued.

"Twenty years ago, because the Mother of Rebirth, the Oracle Church was unwilling to start a war, so they signed a peace treaty. In their view, through the influence of the Church, it may take only 10 years to annex Elam peacefully. "

But they underestimated the speed of industrial development. In the past 20 years, Elam's national power has expanded and its economy has become richer, and each year has become stronger than the previous year. This made their plans change again and again until the peace treaty approached.

Under our intentional guidance, the church successfully won over Philip and canonized him as the Son of the Holy Spirit. They waited for the day when Philip would be eligible to take over the throne.

If I expose Philip's identity in public at this time.

With all hope lost, all we have to face is a war.

But now, as long as Charlotte does not take the throne for a day and Philip's identity is not exposed, in the eyes of the church, there is still a glimmer of hope for the peaceful annexation of Elam.

the duke explained.

"What hope?" Sigmund asked. "You know their specific plan?"

"Of course." Duke Dressel nodded, "In addition to pushing Philip to the throne, there is another way to annex Ailan peacefully, and that is to kill me."

"As long as I'm dead, with my existing influence, no one can stop their intentions." Speaking of this, he glanced at Sigmund, "Maybe it won't be long before you will be added to their must-kill list Your name, you have grown faster than all of us could have imagined."

"Didn't they try to assassinate you?" Sigmund was a little curious.

"In the first 5 years after the signing of the peace treaty, the kingdom and the church have maintained a relative balance, but after 5 years, Elam's national strength has developed, and many contradictions have been exposed. Since then, the assassination against me It never stopped until later..."

"what happened?"

"They discovered a fact." The corner of Duke Dressel's mouth showed a rare smugness, "Level 7 can't kill me."

"In five years or so, I personally left the corpses of five seventh-rankers in Elam!"

WC!

"Fifth?!" Sigmund's eyes widened. Don't look at Sigmund killing a seventh-rank in the southern waters and capturing a special top-level 6 like Bogula.

But he knew in his heart that it was not his own credit, but the indescribable lump of flesh wriggling at the bottom of the abyss.

The only one he really came into contact with and fought against was Bogula.

But Bogula is not a seventh-order in the true sense, but even so, Bogula's difficulty has left a deep impression on him. Combat power is one aspect, and more importantly, strong life resilience.

In the same way, there might be more life-saving methods at the real seventh level. In a battle of that level, it may not be difficult to defeat an opponent of the same level, but it is very difficult to kill the opponent.

No wonder the Oracle Church regards Dressel as its worst enemy.

With the background of the church, five seventh-orders are enough to make them hurt.

"There's only one real seventh step here, and the other four are a little bit worse." The Duke looked calm.

What Duke Dressel said was a little bit worse, referring to a transcendent person like the Pope of Baishan, not a parallel importer like the Lord of the Abyss.

"In the last battle, I left behind three 7th-level corpses. From then on, they knew that only the 8th-level can kill me, provided that I don't run away."

"At that time, Elan's national strength was booming, and it was no longer a country that could be annexed by force casually. In addition, I showed my true strength, and Apleiad was also promoted to the seventh level, so we started from On the surface, it has a real opportunity to negotiate with the church."

"I should have told you before that there are many, many restrictions on the arrival of the 8th order. They didn't have the confidence to kill me with only one 8th order."

And because of the conflict of power, once I seize the opportunity and use the collision of the power of the two world rules, the 8th level may die in my hands.

So at that time, in the era when the eighth-level transcendent could not easily move out and walk, I became the ceiling representing the peak of the transcendent's combat effectiveness.

In the true sense, invincible.

A few simple words, without any combat experience or scenes, but Sigmund's blood was boiling with excitement, and he finally understood the real reason why Dressel was so popular.

This is really carrying a country on its own.

"Looking at the entire extraordinary world, no country can stop me. As long as I want, I can lead Elan's army and the steel puppet to flatten any country."

"It was also at that time that the church proposed to sign the supplementary clauses of a separate peace treaty with me." The Duke sighed.

"That was about 10 years ago. Their restriction on me was Elan, but in fact I haven't left Abetus for 10 years."

"In exchange, Elam's 10 years of peace."

If I refused, the war would have started 10 years ago.

Having said that, he raised his head and gave Sigmund a serious look.

"It turns out the 10-year wait was worth it."
