Chapter 1184 Competitive Tournament Ⅲ 【Subscription】
Penny's sudden transformation into a staunch hardcore.
Because the matter has developed to this point and it is also out of her control.
Originally, he had hoped to win the prince, and when the evil land spirit matured, he would "sell" the giant city of Lentax, and then lead the Lancaster family to develop overseas.
But I didn't expect that everything has changed now.
Grand Duke Jonathan's radicalization was catalyzed by a series of unexpected events.
Now it has reached the point where they are about to meet each other.
To be honest, Penny didn't know why this happened.
But she firmly believes that there must be a behind-the-scenes black hand behind these things that she doesn't know.
Hearing what she said, Marquis Henry did not show a fanatic expression, but shook his head.
"Unless we have strong support, we cannot stop it."
As he spoke, Marquis Henry's expression became melancholy.
"Since Grand Duke Jonathan has decided to send troops, he will never let it go."
"He will not hesitate to completely destroy the giant city of Lentax and ask us to hand over Prince Carter."
"And the matter has developed to the present, and there has long been no room for negotiation."
"Whether Prince Carter falls into the hands of Princess Anna or returns to the protection of Grand Duke Jonathan, the fate of the Lancaster family will not usher in a reversal."
What Princess Anna cares about is not the city, but Prince Carter's strategic bargaining chip.
Of course, the location advantage of the giant city of Lentax itself is also very important. It belongs to the range from the middle to the east of the kingdom, and is a gateway city in the transitional area.
But if she is allowed to choose among them, Princess Anna will definitely choose to win Prince Carter first.
This is also what Grand Duke Chloe meant.
Getting Prince Carter means pinching Grand Duke Jonathan's weakness.
At that time, whether he is used to blackmail the city or conduct more in-depth cooperation negotiations, he will be able to gain a great advantage, and even force Grand Duke Jonathan to give up supporting Prince Carter and support Princess Anna instead.
So if Jonathan Pendragon is determined to attack the giant city of Lentax, Princess Anna will definitely not help the Lancaster family defend the city with all their strength.
Marquis Henry actually knew Grand Duke Jonathan very well.
As a royal family, Jonathan inherited the pioneering spirit of Pendragon's ancestors.
Not only calm but also fearless.
Either don't fight, or win.
His war orders are no joke.
The giant city of Lentax is about to bleed.
And this move is the first civil war in the Kingdom of Avalon in the past thousand years.
Maybe it was the fuse of the confusion.
Prior to this, the actions of the princes, princes and daughters to seize the king were only carried out in secret, and had not been made public.
It belongs to the power struggle, mainly competing for the support of nobles and giant cities in various regions.
But this time, Duke Jonathan's grand declaration of war on the giant city of Lentax may completely kick off the prelude to fighting for the king!
I don't know if it is because of the weakened effect of [Rose Mark].
Marquis Henry's rationality once again gained the upper hand. After figuring out the pros and cons, he almost fell into a state of despair.
If we talk about the behavior of jumping left and right before, it can also be explained by the positive system game.
Then when he looked back at the various decisions he had made recently, it was a complete death.
"Damn...that's not me!"
"It's definitely not me!"
Henry Marquis lost his composure suddenly, covered his head and howled.
The [Rose Imprint] in my heart trembled violently, and there was a sign that it was about to be peeled off and failed.
At this time, Penny's eyes glowed green, and in the next second, a ball of light condensed into Marquis Henry's body.
This ball of light strengthened the [Rose Mark], allowing Marquis Henry to return to the demented state of obedience.
He raised his head in a daze, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes overflowing from emotion.
"Father, we can stop it."
Penny Lancaster repeated slowly.
At this time, Marquis Henry was no longer excited, but nodded slightly dull.
"Yes, we can stop it!"
The atmosphere in the carriage became extremely strange, but no one said much.
The people who took the same car with Penny, father and daughter were all controlled by the [Rose Mark].
After strengthening her control over her father, Penny's complexion did not improve at all, but became more serious.
The uncontrolled situation made her feel strongly uneasy.
Most importantly, she didn't know the real identity of the culprit at all.
The appearance of the mysterious intervener made Penny feel the taste of the plan out of control.
But the matter has come to this point, she has no way to turn back, so she can only bite the bullet and go on.
...
At the same time, in the carriage behind the Marquis and his daughter.
Prince Carter's mood is also in a state of violent fluctuations.
His face was haggard, and he was no longer as chic as before.
His eyes were bloodshot, and even his eyes became extremely nervous.
"No! It's not right at all!"
He roared suddenly, as if he had remembered something that he had thought about and terrified.
Fortunately, there was only a little blackie disguised as Bridger Sorenson in the carriage, and a silent rune was installed, otherwise such a gaffe would definitely attract the attention of outsiders.
The little Heizi who was sitting next to the prince narrowed his eyes, showing a sliver of the majesty of a dragon in his non-real dragon form.
Combined with the situation that the master told him, plus the memory inheritance of the real dragon.
It can roughly guess the current situation of Prince Carter.
"You are tired, Your Highness."
"Drink this bottle of potion and take a light sleep for a while."
Xiao Heizi took out a bottle of [Sleep Potion (Green)] from the storage compartment.
This bottle of potion allows the user to enter a state of peaceful sleep, which can speed up the recovery of the spirit.
Due to the low level, it is estimated that with the prince's physique, he can sleep for half an hour at most.
And the journey to the arena now happens to be about half an hour.
This bottle of [Sleep Potion (Green)] may not have any effect on high-level mind control effects, but it can effectively calm the prince's restlessness.
It knows that the master needs a quiet prince as bait.
Carter Pendragon must not be allowed to say or act out of his composure in public.
Because he is the real protagonist of this tournament.
It is the existence that attracts much attention.
All major forces are basically operating around him.
If the things under Prince Carter's control are exposed, it may lead to accidents.
Zong Shen's request to him is very simple, that is, to let the prince stay in the stands of the competition competition, and wait until the Calamity Raven Church initiates an action, and the multi-party game is played.
In the future, as long as the situation in the city is completely chaotic, then Prince Carter will not be important.
Zong Shen is free from the constraints of the forces and factions within the Kingdom of Avalon.
He is the lord of freedom, the pioneer of the new era, and has authority unimaginable to the aborigines.
So he didn't care which side the prince fell into the hands of.
It doesn't matter whether Penny regards the prince as flower fertilizer, or Princess Anna and Grand Duke Chloe use him as a bargaining chip, Zong Shen doesn't care.
All he cares about is a huge city in chaos.
Of course, if there is a chance to annex the complete Lentax giant city, that would be great,
After all, this is an ancient giant city with a profound heritage, with multiple battle forts and three towers, which can save the hard work of construction after taking over.
But now it seems that the possibility of obtaining a complete giant city has become very slim.
In fact, Zong Shen was already psychologically prepared for this situation.
Every huge city in the aboriginal kingdom will receive the attention of countless forces.
Even the plan of the Calamity Raven Church is not to occupy, but to use the long-distance transmission channel to transfer the population and supplies to Jackdaw Valley.
Because the church is very clear that this city is not so easy to occupy.
Even if it is barely won, it will soon be crusaded.
Seeing the potion in Xiao Heizi's hand, Prince Carter subconsciously shook his head.
Potions are not alcohol.
And he was just emotionally broken, and his thinking was a little confused.
But not to the point of being completely manipulated.
Seeing that he chose to refuse, Xiao Heizi immediately frowned.
The next moment, it directly pinched Prince Carter's chin, and poured the bottle of [Sleep Potion (Green)] into the prince's mouth.
Heizi didn't let go of his hand in satisfaction until he saw his throat slide and swallowed the medicine.
I saw that Prince Carter held his throat and coughed for a while before the medicine took effect.
His eyelids were clenched, and his head kept nodding.
Soon, he let out even breathing sounds and fell into a peaceful sleep.
Xiao Heizi heaved a sigh of relief, and grinned helplessly.
It is not worried about whether the prince will settle accounts after autumn.
Anyway, its mission is to let the prince go to the arena safely.
After that things are not so important.
...
Time passed minute by minute.
Surrounded by the retinue knights, the carriage on which the Marquis and His Royal Highness arrived at the arena.
The crowd was separated like a tide, salutes were blasted around, and cheers were everywhere.
The retinue knights held up banners embroidered with the Lancaster family crest and the roaring dragon of the Kingdom of Avalon, and received the attention of the people with great arrogance.
On the contrary, Lord Marquis, who was supposed to show up and wave, did not lift the curtain.
Even the prince is like this, appearing extraordinarily low-key.
Fortunately, this weird low-key has been completely covered up by the atmosphere of the competition.
The carriage quickly drove into the special channel.
The Marquis and the Prince will sit and watch from the best seats in the arena.
A viewing stand had been set up there long ago.
Marquess Henry was helped out of the carriage by Penny.
He appeared to be in poor spirits, but still smiled and greeted the sergeants standing around as he got out of the car.
As for Prince Carter, he yawned and got off the carriage.
This guy didn't attack Xiao Heizi.
After the glorious warrior left, the only protector he could rely on was Xiao Heizi.
Follow the internal steps to the viewing stand, which is the highest point of the arena.
It's almost unobstructed when you look around.
At this time, all the seats in the arena were full of guests.
The conversations and cheers of tens of thousands of spectators gathered together, causing the sky above the arena to be enveloped by a continuous wave of sound.
The atmosphere at the scene was undoubtedly exciting and exciting.
Here are the expectations of many people.
Countless people are looking forward to it.
Cheers and yells are present almost at all times.
However, everyone on the viewing platform had their own thoughts, and they formed a sharp contrast with the lively atmosphere.
Colorful flags were planted everywhere in the arena, and the light cavalry in charge of delivering orders rushed everywhere in a hurry.
At this time, the chief official in charge of the ceremony at the venue came to the side of the Marquis and the prince.
"My lord, Your Royal Highness."
"Please announce the start of the tournament to the public."
As he spoke, he handed over two magic salutes.
Prince Carter and Marquis Henry held each other, and they stood up blankly and looked at each other.
Then they both got up.
After a cheesy opening speech through a magic megaphone.
The tournament has officially begun!
"Bang bang!"
The salute exploded, and the aura of magic shot out, gathered in the sky above the arena, and exploded two colorful fireworks.
When the salute was launched, the emotions of the audience were also mobilized.
Everyone looked very excited, even stood up and waved their arms.
The thirty-six arenas below began to enter the arena one after another.
The forces of all parties also tightened their nerves.
Beside Zong Shen, the person named Vaclav Hinton showed him a weak and harmless smile.
Zong just rolled his eyes at this.
He knew that this guy was just an old coin, who wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
On the surface, he looks like a sick child, but in fact he is a fourth-tier master.
Yes, judging from the average level of the contestants present, Tier 4 is not the top existence.
But it is definitely a master.
Seeing Zong Shen's impatient expression, Vaclav Hinton twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, then withdrew his gaze, and his expression became sullen.
"Damn it, when you get into the ring, you'll know how good I am!"
He clenched the wooden sword in his hand, determined to teach Zong Shen a lesson.
Zong held his breath the whole time, looking like a second- and third-tier warrior.
This is almost the limit of his camouflage, he is too weak to pretend.
The convening of this athletics conference led to the cooperation of various casinos in the giant city of Lentax.
The major gambling houses jointly opened a big handicap.
They got the list of contestants from internal sources.
And a hundred seed players with outstanding background and strength were selected from them.
Different odds are set.
In addition, there is also the dark horse market, which is for those little-known guys.
Even Zong Shen's pseudonym [Ma Huateng] is on the black horse market. I don't know if anyone is suppressing him.
But it doesn't matter anymore, it's just a formality anyway.
Thirty-six arenas rotated, and the winners and losers were scored extremely quickly.
After about twenty or thirty minutes of waiting, it was Zong Shen and Vaclav Hinton's turn.
Zong held a light wooden war knife, while Waklav held two single-edged wooden swords.
There was no time-wasting talk, and the referee even urged the two sides to fight.
The competition system has already been released, and there is no need to waste time in this audition.
Vaclav grinned and ran towards Zongshen without saying a word.
The two single swords in his hand swung out the sword wheel, the speed was so fast that even the referee's eyes lit up!
...
