Chapter 178: The war is coming

Views:

No one would have thought that war would return to the grasslands so quickly.

What's more, I didn't expect that the momentum of the Kaoqi Kingdom would be so fierce this time.

What gave Cecilia the most headache was undoubtedly the Kaoqi people's declaration of war, which was obviously so justified.

This time, it was not just the ambitious emperor who wanted to go to war, nor just the generals who were full of lust. The worst thing was that it was the people of the Kaoqi Kingdom who wanted war.

They wanted to retaliate with complete conquest for the brazen invasion of the so-called Montitas.

A crashed spaceship, an arrow shot down in a civilian residential area, several buildings that were completely destroyed in the explosion, and the Kaoqi civilians who died as a result, in an instant, Kaoqi was ignited. The hatred of the strange people towards the Kingdom of Montita.

There was no need to incite, for the angry Kaochi were already furious.

There is no need to encourage, because the Kaoqi people are already full of fighting passion.

In the streets and alleys of Vedsk, and in most cities of the Kaochi Kingdom, people are everywhere shouting "want war" and "want to repay the blood debt from the Montita people".

At this moment, compared to the passionate Kaoqi Kingdom, the City in the Cloud seemed extremely calm.

Although every Montita people are worried about the war, no one knows whether the Montita Kingdom will still exist after this upcoming war.

No one knows whether their tribes and relatives can survive the war.

However, no one has any doubts about the coming war, and no one feels fear or panic because of it.

Whether it's City in the Cloud or Grant, the hustle and bustle of the past has disappeared without a trace, and everyone is immersed in their own work.

There was the sound of hammers everywhere, and soldiers training hard could be seen everywhere.

It is completely different from the last time when the Kaoqi army pressed on the border. Although the people of the Montita grassland have not seen the flags waved by the Kaoqi people, nor have they heard the approaching horseshoes, every Montita people have After walking out of their house, even the women who were supposed to be busy in the kitchen and bedroom, and the children who were supposed to be playing and fighting under the care of their father and brother, had already gathered together.

Heavy crossbows with rough workmanship were distributed to everyone's hands.

Fortunately, any Montita, be it a woman or a child, is sure to be an excellent archer.

The only thing they need to learn is how to distinguish the commander's orders.

These women and children armed with deadly weapons formed the largest regiment on the Montita grassland.

Even the most stubborn and old-fashioned old man who attaches great importance to tradition does not find it difficult to understand this at all.

Because almost everyone knows very well that Montita Prairie has reached a critical moment of life and death.

On the upcoming battlefield, once defeated, no one will be able to survive by chance, because this cruel grassland is destined for the weak to survive.

Without the City in the Cloud, the tribes that were driven into the storms and wolves will also gradually decline.

This is a fact proven by countless tribes over the centuries. Because of this, no matter how difficult and painful it is, the tribes on the Montita grassland who want to prosper will choose the peculiar lifestyle like migratory birds.

Because only by coming to Grant Lake can they be given hope of prosperity.

Grant Lake is a symbol of Montita's prosperity, and the City in the Clouds is the most holy place that must be protected.

This is their roots, and it is also a blessed place that they will never give up.

Compared with Kaoqi, who was spreading the flames of anger, and Montita, who was preparing in silence, the Sophie Kingdom seemed a little confused and clueless.

On the outskirts of Xinna City, there is a luxurious and comfortable private garden. This was originally the summer resort of the Maus family, the richest man in the Kingdom of Sophie. However, at this moment, it has become a temporary residence that remotely controls everything in the Kingdom of Sophie. Palace.

Ever since Her Royal Highness the Princess announced that she would take over the government affairs instead of her father, all the glory Sophie once had in the capital suddenly seemed eclipsed.

Her Royal Highness the Princess had no intention of taking away the ministers. In fact, when she promulgated the temporary decree during the war, the original power in the hands of the ministers in the capital had completely disappeared.

All positions are held by members of the Royal Knights who were once loyal to the royal family, but those who actually manage everything are the representatives selected by the merchants in Xinna City.

In this regard, those officials who were originally aloof, as well as the people in the capital who felt deeply disappointed, were naturally quite dissatisfied.

However, the turmoil that she had just experienced and the way Her Royal Highness the Princess hung thousands of once majestic and arrogant people on the gallows without hesitation made those depressed and dissatisfied people , replaced by fear and hesitation.

When the capital city of Anfein fell from its glorious throne, Xinna, a city where merchants gathered, became the new upstart of the kingdom.

Because of this, almost everyone wants to express their loyalty to Her Highness, and almost everyone hopes to be able to serve this wise, strong-willed, strong-willed Princess, and thus be able to rise to the top. The ranks of the nobility.

However, even though everyone tried their best to wait for Her Royal Highness the Princess's favor, there were still different opinions on whether to really launch an attack on the powerful Kaoqi Kingdom.

Although every Sophien admits that war is inevitable, most people still only regard declaring war as a means of maintaining peace.

Because of this, when the Kingdom of Montita sent a request for help, and when Cecelia asked the Kingdom of Sophie and the Kingdom of Montita to join forces to attack Kaoqi, quarrels and noises appeared almost instantly. Among the streets and alleys of Finn Kingdom.

The content of the quarrel was all about whether to agree to the request of the Montita Kingdom to attack the Kaoqi Kingdom.

Except for a small number of people who insist that now is the best time to seek revenge and to eradicate once and for all the most unstable factor in the Kingdom of Kaaoch, most people would rather maintain the current situation of no war. The state of discord, although this tense and depressing atmosphere, makes everyone uncomfortable.

However, once a war breaks out, the losses that may be suffered will be immeasurable, not to mention that if they are defeated, everything they have now will most likely be in vain.

Because of this, among the discussions in the streets, the momentum in favor of forming an alliance to attack the Kingdom of Kaoqi is obviously much smaller.

The same controversy also exists among those businessmen who are like nouveau riche.

For their own benefit, those businessmen are also willing to choose to live in peace with their powerful neighbors.

The only objection came from the mouth of the richest man, Mr. Maus.

However, the richest man in Sophien Kingdom is not really interested in this war that may greatly reduce his wealth.

The reason why he made such a choice was simply because he had to stand on the same ground as his three sons.

In fact, in recent times, he has already left all the troublesome official duties to his youngest and most promising son Jerry.

Because his youngest son not only got the glory of his famous companions, but also had the title of one of the four sages. What's more, since he took the Princess of the Kingdom of Leiding as his teacher, Jerry He has obviously grown up a lot. Not only has he become wiser, but he has also become more and more unfathomable. Even he, as a father, feels that his son is unfathomable.

Meng, the richest man in the Sophie Kingdom, looked at his most outstanding successor with joyful eyes, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.

At this moment, Jerry was sitting next to the main seat, and in front of him sat those stubborn profit-seeking businessmen.

For these guys, Jerry is confident that he already knows everything about them.

It's not just that he's been one of these people since he was born.

It's even more because the intelligence network established by his new teacher, the resourceful Princess Princess, has been operating effectively in just one month.

Jerry could even tell the color of the guys' underwear and what they had for breakfast.

Not to mention the alliances these guys formed in private, as well as the procedures and methods of offensive and defensive advance and retreat determined during private discussions.

Jerry already knew this very well. In fact, he and Princess Xiling had already arranged everything.

Maintaining the usual businessman's smile - this was a trick Xi Ling pointed out to him.

Jerry looked at one of the businessmen, who was speaking impassionedly about how being an enemy of Kaoqi would only bring huge benefits to the Montita Kingdom, and Sophie would not only bear a heavy burden, but also possibly He suffered huge losses due to the defeat in the war.

The businessman's thoughts were extremely clear, and he focused on the word "profit" in every word.

What businessmen pay most attention to and are most vigilant about is undoubtedly their interests.

Because of this, most of the businessmen were nodding their heads. Even those neutrals who had not originally stood on the other side's position seemed a little shaken at this moment.

Jerry listened patiently, unmoved at all, because he always firmly remembered the teachings and guidance given to him by Xi Ling - the truth without strong power will be defeated by the fallacy with strong power. Above the butcher's knife, the greatest benefit is the possibility of survival. A eloquent mouth must grow on a living person's head to be effective.

Looking at those businessmen, Jerry felt deep contempt in his heart.

These guys are really stupid. Do they think that as long as they unite, the Sophie Kingdom will be controlled by them

Could it be that if they are unwilling to start a war, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sophie will not dare to move at all

Jerry was completely indifferent to the overestimation of these businessmen, because he knew very well that they were completely different from these businessmen talking here. He and Xiling spent two days studying for today's meeting, and Her Royal Highness the Princess Convinced all the top figures in the Royal Knights, and made Kate take charge of the knights responsible for the operation.

What these guys are talking about here is simply a meaningless performance. The actual result was decided a few days ago.

Not only that, but for every actor here, they have already arranged an ending.

And their performance at this moment is determining the ending of this scene, whether it is a comedy or a tragedy for them.

After a while, Jerry saw that the businessman who gave an impassioned speech gradually became tired and began to repeat what he had said. Jerry nodded slightly towards the attendant standing beside him, and the attendant walked out of the door. , when he returned to the hall, he was holding a thick stack of documents in his hands.

Jerry took the document and read it carefully. In fact, he already knew everything written on it, because these documents were written by him and Princess Xiling personally, and they spent countless efforts and time on this.

He pretended to be deep in thought, but his face was still full of smiles. This strange and unpredictable scene made the businessmen quiet down.

Everyone was staring closely at this second-time young master, staring at this figure known as one of the four sages.

"A very interesting document, Mr. Idet. I heard that you have a hobby of changing your clothes and appearance. Last night you changed into a downcast appearance and left Xinna City to go to a bar in the small town of Fossai. There are also There is a gentleman with you who is also invited, isn't it? Axely?" Jerry said with a smile.

However, his smile at this moment made everyone present feel creepy.

Although most people don't know the details, they can guess that at this time, such words that have nothing to do with the topic suddenly appear, which is obviously not quite right.

What's more, there is a lot of conspiracy and weirdness hidden in these words. On the one hand, they changed their identities to carry out secret gatherings and contacts, while on the other hand, they were closely monitoring and secretly monitoring and tracking.

This was obviously all shady business. At this moment, these dark and gloomy things were suddenly thrown onto the table at the same time. The businessmen already felt a chill running up their backs.

Especially the most active businessman just now, his face turned pale at the moment, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

"There were three other gentlemen who attended the party at the same time, one of whom was confirmed to be Count Sergent. Mr. Edet, your acquaintances are really broad, and even you, who is always arrogant and doesn't take others seriously, Count Sergent, all regard you as a confidant.”

Jerry smiled again, this time, there was a hint of coldness in his smile.

"The other two gentlemen are obviously more mysterious. One of them disappeared without a trace after the meeting. Is he a magician? That would be even more amazing."

"The other gentleman is equally mysterious, but luckily someone noticed his whereabouts. A noble person like him actually lives in a warehouse."

"Mr. Edet, your close friend is really interesting. Instead of staying in an inn or hotel, he actually settled in a warehouse. You are so generous and hospitable that you made a huge sum of fifteen thousand gold coins without hesitation. Leave it to that gentleman and the Earl, why don't you invite that gentleman to live with you?" Jerry said leisurely.

At this moment, the businessman was already on the verge of collapse. He knew very well that there was obviously some misunderstanding. Akseli invited him to attend the meeting that day, saying that there were three people who wanted to give him business.

That fifteen thousand gold coins was actually a deposit, but during the party that day, those people really kept talking about how harmful the upcoming war would be, and that the lucrative business would be ruined because of the war.

Because of this, he strongly opposed the alliance with the Montita people, but he never thought that there was anything wrong with the identities of those at the party.

What's more, he is not the only one who adopts sneaky ways to negotiate for a hugely profitable business. The business field is originally like the battlefield, full of fierce battles and various conspiracies.

The businessman tried his best to defend himself, but suddenly he felt as if his body was out of control.

His heart was beating violently, and cold sweat could not stop flowing down. His body had no strength at all, and even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't do it at all.

The businessman became more and more panicked. He didn't know what was happening to his body, but he knew one thing very well: if he didn't defend himself at this moment, then he would never have a chance again.

He tried his best to make himself speak, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it at all. The businessman looked at Axeli in despair. However, what made him despair was that Axeli's situation at this moment, Apparently no different than him.

But in the eyes of other businessmen, this scene is completely different from their imagination.

At this moment, those businessmen who once shared the same sentiments with Idet: their hearts are filled with fear and worry.

As for those merchants who originally remained neutral, they were secretly glad that they did not get closer and were not contaminated by the terrible poison and plague.

At this moment, almost everyone wanted to stay away from those two plague-like figures as much as possible.

It was as if bad luck would spread through the air, as if disaster and death would contaminate them.

"The two gentlemen must not be feeling well. Please let them go down and have a good rest." Jerry ordered the waiter on the side.

The waiter immediately called a few strong men and dragged the two limp businessmen down.

When the businessmen nearby saw this scene, they all felt a little at peace in their hearts. These two terrible plague gods had been sent away, which at least made everyone feel a little relieved.

"Everyone, I would like to advise you that at this critical moment, it is best not to be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

"I believe that everyone has seen with their own eyes what a vicious conspiracy the Kaoqi people have set up to make our Kingdom of Sophien the second Kingdom of Fetillan."

"You should have seen with your own eyes how cruel and arrogant those traitors are. Do you think that under their rule, you can keep the wealth that you have worked hard to accumulate all your life?"

"The only good thing is that our young Queen Regent is a determined figure. She has made up her mind to protect the peace and dignity of the Kingdom of Sophie. The Kingdom of Montita has always been our most loyal ally. Here, At this time, our Queen will never abandon her allies."

"The Kingdom of Kaoqi has always been our enemy. The Kingdom of Kaoqi has threatened the survival of the Kingdom of Sophie several times. The first two crises were all because we had the strong and brave Her Majesty the Queen, and we were able to avert the danger. But today, Her Majesty the Queen is no longer willing to allow the Kaoqi Kingdom to challenge the survival of the Sophien Kingdom again and again."

"The hope for peace has been completely cut off when the Kaoqi Kingdom extended its clutches to us for the second time."

"I believe everyone should know very well that our Majesty the Queen was once the strongest pursuer of peace. For this reason, she was even willing to risk her life to go to the dangerous Kingdom of Kaoqi."

"The efforts she has made are precisely to seek peace, and she even sacrificed herself as a hostage for this!"

"But the final result was to give the Kaoqi people the opportunity to try to kill my famous companion, Enleco. Even my other companion, Kate, became the target they wanted to eliminate."

"After escaping from the Kaochi Kingdom, the young Queen still hopes to find peace, but this once again gives the Kaochi people an excellent opportunity to strike first."

"This time, they finally achieved their goal. The death of Master Naga, the great mage, is an immeasurable loss both to Sophie and to Her Majesty the Queen as a disciple."

"What's more, Master Naga was not the only one who was assassinated. The former Privy Councilor Qiao was a resourceful and prestigious general. It was him who allowed us to escape from the dangerous Kaoqi Kingdom."

"It is also because of his existence that the Kaoqi Kingdom does not dare to easily provoke a war."

"The sudden collapse of these two huge pillars supporting the Kingdom of Sophie is undoubtedly the most significant blow to the young Her Majesty the Queen."

"The only good thing is that my companion Magic Knight Kate has been able to shoulder the burden left by the former Privy Councilor Joe, and the timely return of our mentor, Princess Chrissy, has cleared away those who were stuck at the top. The lackeys and traitors arranged by the Aoqi people put down the rebellion that almost completely overturned the Sophie Kingdom."

"Because of this, the young Her Majesty the Queen no longer intends to adopt a weak policy of compromise. Even if the Kingdom of Montita does not ask us for help, Her Majesty the Queen plans to launch a full-scale war against the Kingdom of Kaoqi in the near future."

"Are you standing on the side of Her Majesty the Queen and fighting for the survival and dignity of the Kingdom of Sophie?"

"Or should you stand on the side of the Kaoqi Kingdom and try your best to stop the war like those two guys? The power of choice is in your hands."

Jerry kept his standard businessman smile from beginning to end, but at this moment, no one else could smile except him.

Everyone here is a very shrewd and experienced person, and they can naturally understand the meaning of what this man, known as one of the four sages, said.

Although the choice is in their hands, seeing the situation in front of them, how could there be a second option

Not siding with the Queen and disapproving of the alliance with the Montita Kingdom would mean obstructing the war. This also means that standing on the side of the Kaoqi Kingdom is treason.

These newly wealthy businessmen naturally know very well how they occupy these positions. They absolutely do not want to be one of those people hanging high on the gallows.

The worry about the possible loss of wealth and interests due to war was immediately replaced by the fear of death.

Once they understood all this, the businessmen immediately swore an oath to unconditionally support the decision made by the young Her Majesty the Queen.

Seeing those businessmen showing extremely loyalty at this moment, Jerry felt quite proud. This feeling of having the power in his hands and controlling everything from a high position was really comfortable.

He felt more and more that he had indeed made the right bet, and he did not hesitate to be ridiculed and ridiculed by Kate and Bertina. It was indeed an extremely wise and decisive choice to take Leco's lover's cousin as his teacher.

Jerry was extremely grateful for his sobriety and rationality at this moment. He was not hindered by the false reputation of the four sages and could still clearly know his own bottom line. This obviously enabled him to stand at the pinnacle of life at this moment. The most critical thing.

Although he is one of the Four Sages, he knows that the reason why he is listed among them is definitely because of Kate and Bertina.

With his ability, not to mention the ability of Kate and Bertina, let alone Enleco, who is now out of reach and whose strength is almost catching up with Princess Chrissy, he is beyond his reach.

Among the terrifying eldest princess, he was the only one who missed a good opportunity and didn't learn any skills. Sometimes, he did regret it, but when he thought back to the time, Enleco and Kate's narrow escape, they wandered around every day. The scene in the edge of hell made him give up the idea of joining the eldest princess again in an instant.

But watching Enleco, Bertina and Kate rise to prominence one by one, Jerry felt quite unhappy for a while.

He also hopes that he can stand out like his companions and be famous all over the world.

But he also knew very well that whether it was Enleco, Bertina, or Kate, their immortal reputations came entirely from their efforts and strength.

Jerry is quite self-aware of himself and knows that his own strength is not worthy of being listed among the Four Sages with the other three people.

Because of this, he is extremely eager to find opportunities that reflect his value.

The appearance of Princess Xiling undoubtedly gave him the opportunity he had longed for.

In fact, when he first learned about the princess, he had a premonition that he was very suitable to learn her efficient, vicious and cunning strategies.

Because of this, he did not hesitate to abandon his dignity and worship this companion's lover as his teacher.

At this moment, Jerry felt quite proud of his decisive decision.

At the same time, he also made up his mind to make further achievements so that everyone can see the advantages and value he possesses.

He does not place unrealistic hopes, and wants to be praised by the world like Enleco, Bertina and Kate. He only hopes to be worthy of the title of one of the Four Sages.

Thinking of this, Jerry once again showed his businessman-like smile.

"Everyone, I have something from the bottom of my heart that I want to share with you. I wonder if you would like to hear it."

He looked around, and the expressions on the merchants' faces made him quite satisfied.

"You must have seen that the young Her Majesty the Queen intends to abandon the traditional practices of the past. For this reason, she came here, to this city that in her view is full of vitality and hope."

"The capital city in the past was obviously not a stage for her to show off her talents. There were too many constraints and tripwires there. Because of this, the capital city has been abandoned by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"If she can truly realize her wishes and ambitions here, you will definitely have no doubt that this city where you are rooted will become the new center of the Sophie Kingdom."

"You must all be smart people, and you should be very clear about what your hometown will bring to you if it becomes the center of the kingdom."

"Idet was talking all about interests and wealth just now, but I didn't see where the interests and wealth he mentioned were at all. But if Xinna becomes the center of Sophien Kingdom, I don't know who among you You can’t see the huge benefits hidden in it.”

"I'm sure you won't think that I'm just talking nonsense!" At this point, Jerry stopped and looked at the businessmen around him.

The expressions on the merchants' faces were just as he had expected, which made him quite satisfied.

The most cunning guy among the four sages continued: "But everyone should also be able to see that there is a premise for all of this, and that is that Her Majesty the Queen Regent can show off her skills in Xina City."

"The reason why Her Majesty the Queen abandoned the capital and came here was precisely because she believed that she would be able to find many supporters and allies here, unlike in the capital, which is full of opposition and betrayers."

"Now, do you think you can make Her Majesty the Queen admit that you are her most loyal ministers? Do you think you can make her reuse and trust you?"

"I have always believed that the Xinna businessmen are the smartest and most far-sighted people in the Sophie Kingdom, because I was once one of them."

"But this time I was disappointed because all I saw was shortsightedness and shallowness."

"Your eyes only see the temporary losses that may be caused to you. You only think about the complete loss of your wealth if you lose the war."

"As for the former, haven't you ever thought that these losses are also the most profitable investments. Once Xinna City becomes the center of the Sophie Kingdom, Her Majesty the Queen will only need to give a little approval and favor to the most loyal ministers. With your brains, can’t you get rich rewards from it?”

"As for the latter, the Kingdom of Kaoqi has made enemies everywhere, and this time is its last madness."

"What's more, there is a Forbidden Curse Mage who is proficient in three kinds of Forbidden Spells in Sophien Kingdom, and he is a native of Xinna. Could it be that he would watch his hometown being swallowed up by the flames of war and remain indifferent?"

"In addition, the Kingdom of Sophie is also guarded by our teacher, Her Royal Highness Princess Kris. Even if the six magicians join forces, they are no match for her."

"Do you think that the Kingdom of Kaoqi can resist the forbidden curse attack with its large number of soldiers?"

"Have you never thought about how much reward you, who have paid a huge price for this, will get in return once the Kingdom of Sophie defeats the Kingdom of Kaoqi and even invades Vedsk?"

Everything Jerry said was undoubtedly the most beautiful words to those businessmen.

Which businessman is unwilling to pursue huge profits? In a sense, businessmen can be said to be the most generous people. They will not hesitate to throw down large sums of money and invest in places where they believe they have potential.

At this moment, Jerry undoubtedly opened a door to the treasure house for them.

Almost no businessman would have any doubts about Jerry's words, because even if it is unrealistic to defeat the Kaoqi Kingdom and invade Vedsk, making Xinna the new center is a real possibility. The possibilities before us.

Moreover, as Jerry said, everyone here is very clear about the huge benefits that Xinna will bring to them after becoming the Sophien Center.

In fact, they are already enjoying the endless benefits, and everyone here is already deep in joy.

Because of this, Jerry's words clearly hit their mark.

Let Xina replace the capital and become the new center of Sophien Kingdom. Almost every businessman is intoxicated in this wonderful imagination.

Suddenly, the businessmen who woke up suddenly expressed their incomparable loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen Regent with tears of gratitude to the slippery one among the four young sages.

Especially those businessmen who just sang along with Idet, they are even more frightened, and they are trying to change the bad impression they just showed.

In order to escape from the shadow of the betrayer and board the ship of the Queen Regent, these frightened businessmen did not hesitate to spend huge amounts of money to win Jerry's favor.

One sent an astonishing amount of gold coins as military expenses, another donated all the food and fodder in the manor under his name, and some were even willing to provide horses and weapons.

These rushing merchants made the neutrals who were still watching on the side feel a sense of urgency.

Originally they still had a clear advantage, but now, it is clear that their advantage of not being in the wrong camp was wiped out by a moment of hesitation.

The people who are qualified to sit here are naturally the best among businessmen. They all have shrewd means and brilliant vision. The ability to seize opportunities has long been the prerequisite and guarantee for their success.

Because of this, those businessmen who realized that they were one step too late immediately increased their weight to show their loyalty and determination.

Suddenly, the meeting, which was originally full of bickering, became a noisy trading place.

At this moment, the only businessman who can still sit there smiling contentedly is the richest man, Mr. Maus.

Looking at the lively scene, he felt quite proud.

Because he knows very well that no matter how much money these people spend, there is absolutely no way they can surpass him.

He was more and more secretly glad that his original decision was such a wise one.

Let the eldest son enter the church and the second son become a member of the royal knights. The most successful one is undoubtedly the youngest son.

Originally, he just wanted the Maus family to join the ranks of the nobility, but now, Mr. Maus has even seen greater possibilities.

He was convinced that his family could become one of the most prominent and noble families in the Sophie Kingdom.

And all of this is the result of his planning a few years ago.

Seeing such fruitful results, the second disciple sat there and smiled happily. The smile on his face at this moment was no longer the professional smile of a businessman, but the happiness and joy from the bottom of his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the autumn wind has turned cold.

Originally, they were still arguing in the streets over whether to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Montita to attack the Kingdom of Kaoqi. However, now there are already rumors everywhere about how to replace the capital Sophien and become the center of the kingdom.

Everyone in Xinna City seemed to be suddenly full of confidence, as if overnight, even the traffickers and lackeys had the opportunity to prosper.

And those bars and places where people gathered were full of praise and laughter for the young Queen Regent.

The original fear and panic about the Kaochi people and the war were now attributed to the incitement and rumors spread by spies and traitors.

For a time, the names Idet and Axeli were hated by almost everyone in Xinna City.

Their families were even driven out of the city, and some even said that the two families disappeared into the wilderness soon after.

After letting the two scapegoats bear all the blame, the residents of Xinna City seemed to suddenly become patriots.

Almost everyone clamored to contribute to the country.

Donating wealth and free labor has become the most fashionable theme recently.

But soon, another great miracle became a new topic circulating in the streets, that is, the huge battleship flying in the sky.

Seeing the huge figure floating slowly across the mountains, Xinna City suddenly seemed to be boiling.

Just when everyone was guessing what it was, exciting rumors suddenly spread from the palace.

That huge air battleship was confirmed to be the most powerful weapon invented by the cooperation between Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Little Forbidden Curse Mage.

According to rumors, those two extremely powerful figures are recreating the glory created by the gods during the ancient war between gods and demons.

Those huge battleships floating in the air and advancing slowly were used to confirm the huge fortress floating in the air in ancient myths and legends.

Although even a child could see the difference between the two at a glance, Sophie, who was filled with joy and confidence, seemed to be under the rule of the gods.

And these huge air battleships gave them incomparable confidence.

At this moment, no one doubts that Sophie Kingdom will lose to any country.

For a time, both Enleco and the eldest princess were regarded as patron saints by Sophie's benefactor.

At this time, these two patron saints of Sophien Kingdom were in the City in the Clouds, thousands of miles away.

These days were full of joy and extremely difficult for Enleco, because he had to deal with hundreds of goblins who were just getting sweet.

He was originally worried that Her Royal Highness the Princess would be jealous because of this, but he eventually discovered that Chrissy was obviously more interested in the blood of the goblins and the strange hybrids with goblin blood.

Enleco often even felt that Chris really hoped that he could get those goblins pregnant, because in this way, she would have inexhaustible experimental materials and research subjects.

Because of this, Enleco does the extremely happy "coolie" almost every day.

But during the day, he became Chrissy's exclusive assistant.

Even Chris felt that the war was not far away from them.

The Kaoqi flying boat has appeared at the border, and the Kaoqi expeditionary force that originally retreated to the Kingdom of Feltilan also seems eager to try.

Countless fortresses have been built on the border, and the falcons controlled by the sentries have brought back disturbing news. The explosive fire launched by the magic corps has greatly increased the range.

By sacrificing power, the explosive flames can be pushed to places several kilometers away.

As soon as the news was confirmed, Enleco felt a strong sense of helplessness attack him.

He and Chris had just increased the range of the heavy crossbow to a distance similar to that of the explosion, but now it had become worthless because of this new discovery.

If there is enough time, it may seem possible to re-study it, but now everyone has heard the footsteps of the approaching war.

At this moment, even if there is still time to perfect their weapons, it is impossible to modify all the heavy crossbows in such a short period of time.

This is not only a huge project that requires unimaginable manpower, but also requires countless amounts of money.

At this moment, Montita's treasury was already stretched thin. Although the Kingdom of Leiding secretly transported some supplies by sea, it was still far from being able to meet the consumption of a war.

Because of this, Cecelia worries about money almost every day.

In the end, these troubles were naturally pushed to Enleco's head.

Enleco has been wondering recently how the great wizard governs her country.

Perhaps she abandoned all honors and responsibilities, returned to the bedroom and the living room, and became an ordinary Montita woman, not because of her virtue and humility, but because she knew very well that she had no ability at all. Manage a country well.

Enleco felt more and more that the explanation he guessed was quite reasonable. Maybe this was the truth.

But this time, he had a headache. What made him even more headache was that he couldn't find anyone to prevaricate and shirk.

As usual, when he felt overwhelmed and couldn't squeeze out any wisdom from his mind, he couldn't help but think of the evil monster Most.

He didn't know if Most had restored its original power at this moment, and he didn't know if it would respond to his request at this moment, but in desperation, he still had to send a request to the soul contract controller.

The soul contract controller in the demon world did not abandon its first believer in the human world.

As usual, Most gently nudged Enleco's nerves to let him know it was coming.

"You always ask me out when you need me." Most said leisurely.

"What can I do in exchange for your wisdom and guidance?" Enleco, who knew this guy well, said bluntly.

"You already know my identity. You should be very clear. I can be considered one of the gods. But except for the kingdom controlled by a family with the same bloodline as yours, I have very few followers elsewhere. , and even many people are quite disapproving of my other identity. Their respect for me is far less than that of the equally unpopular Lactos Kranis—the guy in charge of death."

"As my first and only believer in the world, you obviously have the responsibility to work hard to promote my teachings. Even if you cannot surpass Silenis Elena, at least you cannot be loved by my old enemy Tarot. Tenscart is underneath."

Enleco was indeed quite surprised by Most's request. This guy actually cared about his fake identity that relied on deception. Could it be that this guy really regarded himself as one of the gods

So why does this guy still stay in the demon world instead of looking for a way to enter the god world

But Enleco didn't dare to say all this clearly. He was already full of fear of this evil monster.

"I will definitely make your followers far exceed those who believe in the God of Wisdom." Enleco quickly agreed.

Having said this, he tentatively said: "In fact, it is not difficult to make your reputation as the God of Souls be praised and promoted by everyone. As long as you launch a real spiritual storm, under the shroud of the spiritual storm, Next, almost everyone who has seen the powerful power you possess will definitely become your most loyal believer."

"Striel County is the best proof. There, the prestige you possess there is definitely far superior to the God of Wisdom, Aitarotanskart."

Most was obviously a little moved by Enleco's proposal. After hesitating for a moment, Moste sighed and said: "I can indeed make you perform a complete spiritual storm. However, if you are not worried about summoning some gods because of this, If I came to the human world to fight against you, I would be willing to help you."

Most's words obviously shocked Enleco. He asked in disbelief: "Haven't the gods already withdrawn from this world? Have you not been accepted by the gods and become one of them?"

Most said disapprovingly: "The gods have indeed withdrawn from this world, but this does not mean that they will never interfere in anything in the world."

"What's more, once they sense that I have given you the power to launch a spiritual storm, the world will tend to become unbalanced. Imbalance means chaos to the gods, and chaos also means demons."

"This will make them feel that the demons have the upper hand again. In order to regain balance, some of them will set foot on this land again."

"I'm not sure about other guys, but I'm sure that Silenis Elena will definitely appear in front of you. Her temper is even better than that of your wife and teacher. In other respects, Come on, she looks a bit like that girl Bertina who once caused you a lot of trouble."

"I believe that when you use your spiritual storm to knock down all your enemies and make all the survivors my followers, she will appear in front of you with the divine light."

"As the goddess of life, she will never take away your life, but I think she will imprison you in the most intense and pure divine light, and make you always maintain a clear consciousness and clear feelings. .”

Most's words made Enleco shudder. The goddess of life, Sirenis Elena, was obviously a person he could not afford to offend.

"It seems that I can only rely on my own strength, and I can only rely on your wisdom." Enleco said helplessly.

"This is the best choice for you and me. I also don't intend to fight another war with the gods." Most said, obviously weighing the balance of power, it can only do this in the end, which makes it feel Depressing decision."

"Your biggest headache right now is undoubtedly money and supplies, and all of these are obviously nothing to that country with mountains everywhere."

"It's just that the land route has been blocked by the enemy, and the sea is also full of enemy warships."

"But have you forgotten that the closest place between the country of mountains and here is only separated by an extremely narrow strait?"

"The reason why that country of mountains has to go around a long way and not dare to openly cross the narrow strait is because the people there are worried that this will give their enemies an excuse to attack them."

"You only need to seize the land connecting the strait, which is only more than a hundred kilometers away, and control the port in your hands."

"The strait is so narrow. Without ports and supplies, it is surrounded by two sides. The warships cruising in it are simply beasts caught in a trap."

"Whether they choose a suicidal attack or keep a low profile as much as possible so that they can safely evacuate from the strait, their prospects are definitely not good anyway."

"Whether you want to eliminate those warships in the strait, or keep a wide margin, all the initiative is in your hands."

"But what is really meaningful to you is that you can safely and quickly obtain the money and ores you need from the country of mountains."

"In fact, you can even make a list now and let them build what you need for you. Compared with the people on this grassland, there are obviously more craftsmen in that country of mountains."

"If you plan to do this, I can work out extremely detailed attack steps for you. In return, you have to give me your little goblin daughter."

"I am very interested in her. She is born with the ability of the fairy family and can spy on other people's thoughts. She is obviously more suitable to be the spreader of my faith than you."

Most casually tossed the bait out, and it waited to be harvested.

This evil monster knew very well that its request was simply difficult for Enleco to refuse.

"By the way, I can also tell you a secret about Rakdos Kranis. Obviously you haven't fully understood the true meaning of death and destruction. Because of this, you can't borrow the real power from that guy."

"In fact, Rakdos Kranis is not an ordinary member of the gods. He can be said to be the least evolved one among the gods. The essence of chaos still remains in him."

"But from another perspective, he is the most completely evolved among the gods. He has given up his powerful and pure energy body and purified the energy close to nothingness. Therefore, in a sense, Said that he is even close to a demon."

"Because of this, he is able to manipulate the flow of time in a unique way, but because of his chaotic nature, whether it is forward flow or reverse flow, the final result is a return to chaos."

"This is the truth of destruction and demise. It is also a force that makes even the strongest among the gods and demons unable to escape. Everything returns to the purest chaos, and both gods and demons will be destroyed. "

"The gods will no longer have the rules they represent, and the demons will lose all their power. The most terrifying thing is that once the death and destruction occurs, it cannot be terminated."

"That is to say, whether it is a god or a demon, as long as part of his power is transformed into chaos by Lactos Kranis using that special ability, chaos will spread to every part of him like poison."

"This seemingly inconspicuous ability is the most powerful power of the God of the Underworld, Lakdos Kranis." Most said leisurely.
