Chapter 1792 Hostility

The Sun Also Rises.

Etantinople is once again coming to life.

It was as if last night's chaos was just a nightmare that melted like ice and snow when the sun appeared.

Businessmen began to go in and out of the Central Third Ring Road.

The soldiers began to go on duty.

Civilians began to work again.

Apart from the blockaded Lower Seventh Ring shantytown, there is no difference.

Old Wharton stood at the door of the blocked area, listening to the words of the temporary person in charge here. Although the other person was very young, the old Marquis did not neglect him at all.

Because he knows who the other party represents.

It’s not just ‘fog’.

There are also snake sect witchers.

Especially the latter, now has become a link in the plan of King Attantine VI.

He doesn't allow any mistakes.

“We will obey the Lord’s will and go to the temporary rest house.”

"But before that, we need some food and water, and some tents."

Erin made her request.

The sentences are smooth and the enunciation is clear.

She forced herself to remain calm when facing a marquis. In her heart, she silently recited the title of 'Mist'.

Obviously, this is useful.

At least Sivalka, who was hidden in the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief.

He could see that the old Marquis in front of him had no ill intentions. As long as Irene did not make any mistakes, they would be able to obtain the food, water and tents they needed most now.

Especially the latter!

You know, the winter in Hokuriku is really terrible.

You can survive for several days without food and water.

But without a tent to keep out the cold, it can kill you in one night.

"OK."

"At noon, food, water and tents will be delivered."

"I promise you that."

"Please take me to say hello to Your Majesty."

The old Marquis showed a kind smile.

Erin nodded slightly.

"Thank you for everything you do for us."

After speaking, the little girl walked back to the crowd and informed the waiting people of the good news.

Suddenly, people cheered.

“Thank you ‘Mist’, thank you Lord!”

“Thank you ‘Mist’, thank you Lord!”

…

Such voices kept coming and going.

The old Marquis looked on with a smile, but at the moment he turned around.

The smile on the old Marquis' face instantly faded.

He had anticipated the development of things and was prepared for everything that happened before him.

Only when he saw it with his own eyes did he realize that the impact of those existences on ordinary people was far beyond his imagination.

"You never know that in a country, the king is the most important!"

"As for the rest?"

"They are all subsidiary and secondary."

"include……"

"God!"

Seeing this scene, the old Marquis became more determined in his thoughts.

Divine authority overrides royal authority. I don’t know when it appeared.

Maybe after I was assassinated?

Maybe after the II reform?

he does not know.

But he knew that the great talent and strategy in one life will lead to prosperity in the second.

Only a truly wise monarch is everything to the king, not some god.

"Another greedy guy like a wild dog appears in Etantinople!"

"I hope you won't be blinded by ambition and do anything bad!"

"Otherwise, you will just fall into regret!"

The old Marquis finished speaking silently in his heart and strode towards the city gate.

There, a team of royal guards had been waiting for a long time.

After the old Marquis returned to the team, the team began to pass through the city gate corridor and arrived outside Fort Atantino. Riding on a war horse, the old Marquis looked into the distance and saw a team appearing on the horizon, especially that team. After the team's flag was revealed, the old Marquis naturally had a smile on his face.

Not the disguise just now.

But it comes from the bottom of my heart.

It was a long sword flag.

In Etentin, it is known that this belongs to the family coat of arms of the Viscount of Sikar.

However, the difference is that this flag no longer has the blood-stained and burning sword emblem.

There is only one sharp sword.

The long sword stained with blood and on fire has always belonged to the emblem of the Temple of War, and has always been on the family emblem of Viscount Sika. This is also well-known by people. After all, the viscount is a devout believer in the Temple of War.

but now?

The old Marquis smiled again.

"Let's go meet the new lord of Xika Territory!"

As the old Marquis said this, he patted his horse and rode off.

The royal guard immediately followed.

In the distance, Sika and his party had already seen the coming royal guard. However, this team did not stop. They continued to move forward according to their master's orders.

In the largest carriage, Irene Sika was a little nervous.

The last time she came to Etantinople, she followed her brother to attend His Majesty's ball.

Ten years have passed since now.

Moreover, her old housekeeper and brother were responsible for everything back then. She just had to sit there quietly. But now the old housekeeper has passed away long ago, and her brother also died not long ago.

Thankfully, Simon is still by her side.

Subconsciously, the Baroness grabbed 'Simon's' hand.

She needs comfort.

Higher-level evil spirits can clearly sense this.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

The upper evil spirit said very confidently.

It completed the early layout according to the Boss's instructions.

Both the ‘Mist’ and the ‘Snake Sect’ have been completed.

What's waiting now is for 'Sika' to lead the group.

Or to be precise...

That Attantine VI!

The other party's bad intentions have been confirmed by its Boss.

In fact, it's thanks to Gelsak.

The other person's memory and imagination helped a lot.

At least, it made up for a lot of things they didn't know, making their next actions more clear.

"Do I need to do anything?"

After hearing the comfort from the superior evil spirit, the baroness was slightly relieved, but she still hoped to get more guidance. It seemed that only this could reassure her.

"Just be your normal self."

"Answer whoever can answer."

"If you can't answer, leave it to me."

The upper evil spirit said.

"Understood."

The Baroness nodded.

At this time, the convoy stopped, and Roget's rough voice rang out.

"My lord, Baroness, the messenger to greet us has arrived."

"knew."

After the superior evil spirit winked at the Baroness, he opened the door and stepped out of the carriage.

At the same time, the old marquis also reached out and jumped off the horse neatly.

The two sides were ten meters apart and looked at each other.

He has an ordinary face but gentle eyes.

Messenger of the gods?

Sure enough, they are all deceptive.

I hope you can have such a posture soon.

The old Marquis looked at the face of the superior evil spirit at this moment and thought to himself.

The upper evil spirits are much more direct.

The evil spirit's [intuition] allows it to obtain more information.

Is there malice and gloating in the tranquility?

Do you want to see a good show between ‘The Mist’ and ‘God of War’?

I'm afraid you will be disappointed.

The upper-level evil spirit who roughly knew the state of the 'God of War' and 'Ms. Disaster' sneered in his heart, but the gentle smile on his face did not change at all.

"Hello, Lord Wharton."

The superior evil spirit bowed.

Not the etiquette of the Hokuriku nobles, but the etiquette of the 'Mist' Church.

Put your hands together in front of you, stretch out five fingers on one hand, and stretch out two fingers on the other hand to form the number seven, then bow slightly.

"Hello, Messenger Simon."

After observing the meticulous etiquette of the Hokuriku nobles, the old Marquis Wharton straightened up.

Neither the superior evil spirit nor the old Marquis asked such childish questions as why the other party knew his identity.

It was as if both sides deliberately ignored that King Attendine VI had sent a royal escort.

After they looked at each other and smiled, they started talking like a normal conversation.

"Where's the Baroness?"

asked the old marquis.

"Sika leads the new lord in the car."

"The continuous traveling has made the lord exhausted."

"And the cold wind last night made the lord feel unwell, so it is inconvenient to see guests."

The upper evil spirit replied with an undiminished smile.

"Yeah?"

"The royal family has many good doctors, do you need me to make arrangements?"

The old Marquis asked again.

"That really couldn't be better."

The superior evil spirit responded.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

The old Marquis motioned to his horse, and after the superior evil spirit nodded, he immediately remounted his horse, and the superior evil spirit also returned to his carriage.

After losing sight of each other, both sides felt in their hearts at the same time——

Ha, tui.

The old Marquis already knew everything that happened in the Xika Territory in great detail.

He hopes to win over the Sika Territory as a support to King Attantine VI.

Unfortunately, the test just now has already shown that the new lord is not inclined to Atantin VI.

The other party is no different from those conservative parties.

All he cares about is his title and territory.

Never look at things from a higher level.

"what a pity."

The old Marquis sighed like this.

Also sighing were the superior evil spirits.

"That King Attantine VI is more ambitious than imagined."

The superior evil spirit looked at the puzzled Baroness and immediately explained.

“The ‘new order’ is just the beginning.”

"The new nobles are just a test by His Majesty the King."

“Once it succeeds, it’s time for the other party to start really bringing the land under their control.”

"How can this be?"

"The decree of the Second Emperor cannot be changed even by His Majesty the Sixth Emperor!"

said the Baroness in surprise.

"Not a change!"

"But..."

"When there is no one to inherit, it will naturally become his."

The superior evil spirit reminded me.

"You mean...the Southern Islands?"

The Baroness, who was not stupid, immediately thought of something.

Etandin's layout of the southern archipelago is not a secret.

Anyone who knows a little bit about the national situation will know that under the premise that the south has been pacified, the southern archipelago has become the kingdom's next strategic goal.

War breaks out almost at any time.

But there was nothing gloomy about Atantin.

On the contrary, the whole of Etantine was excited.

It is the same whether it is the new aristocracy that is about to appear or the old aristocracy.

Because breaking new ground will be the most expected and fastest way for every noble to advance.

As for failure?

I'm afraid no one will think about it.

After all, compared to the entire Hokuriku, the Southern Islands are too small.

Although there are many islands, there are only a group of natives and pirates on them. They are completely vulnerable to Aitantin's regular army.

Therefore, all the nobles were eager to try.

But what if this war fails?

Even worse, when the war failed, a large number of nobles died?

The Baroness shuddered at the thought.

Because she could definitely imagine that nobles who died without heirs would become heroes, while nobles who survived or had heirs would be... sinners!

The culprit for the failure of this war!

Moreover, the charges are all ready-made.

For example: delaying combat opportunities, seizing military honors, framing colleagues, etc.

Hoo, hoho!

The Baroness' breathing quickened.

She shook her head, trying to get that image out of her mind.

Because, she knew that if everything went as she thought, Xika Ling would definitely become a thorn in the side of the Sixth Incarnation, and would naturally be targeted everywhere.

In fact, if His Majesty the Sixth Emperor had the idea that before fighting against the outside world, he must first settle down within the country, the Sika Territory would soon be hit hard.

And this is not difficult.

The easiest thing is to kill her.

Then, kill her son.

The Sika Territory, which had no heir, naturally became the property of Attantine VI.

The baroness, whose expression changed continuously, subconsciously grasped Simon's hand.

She was thinking about how to change her situation.

It can not only ensure its own safety, but also ensure the land of Xika Territory.

If it really doesn't work...

It is not impossible to exchange the latter for the former.

The Baroness, who is naturally understanding, is not a persistent person.

She understands what is most important.

Otherwise, she would not have prepared to go to Etantinoburg immediately after her brother was killed. At that time, she had the idea of ​​​​exchanging the Sika collar for peace.

Feeling the intense thoughts of the Baroness, the superior evil spirit couldn't help but place his palm on the Baroness's palm.

"I said it before."

"It's not as bad as you think."

"even……"

"In some ways, it's good for us."

"Don't forget who you are."

"You are both a noble and a believer in the Mist."

The upper evil spirit reminded the Baroness.

"Will my lord help us?"

asked the Baroness.

"certainly."

"In fact, our Lord has already begun to help us."

The superior evil spirit said, and quietly informed the baroness that his boss had obtained a territory and that a demon hunter would be stationed there.

The baroness's eyes lit up immediately.

She had read about the power of witchers in books.

If more demon hunters really came to help her, even the Sixth Majesty would be helpless.

Because the other party's methods will never come to light.

This can only be done in private.

Looking at the baroness with a reassuring smile, the superior evil spirit took out his palm without leaving a trace, and then quietly wiped it behind his back.

It's still not used to it.

Still awkward.

Even though it stands to reason that evil spirits have no gender.

But its memory comes from ‘Mary’.

This memory made it feel like it was sitting on pins and needles. If it wasn't for its own boss, it would have turned its palm into a knife and given the opponent a satisfying blow.

well.

Involuntarily, the superior evil spirit sighed.

Because it knows that the difficulty in front of it is only the first.

The second and third ones will come soon.

Moreover, it is much more difficult than the first one.

You can't just talk casually and get away with it.

Hope it doesn't hurt too much.

The upper evil spirit prayed in his heart.

At this moment, at the gate of Etantinoburg, a group of people appeared.

They were very powerful and full of fighting spirit.

Wearing...

War Temple Clothing.

Everyone looked at the slowly approaching convoy, their eyes full of hostility.
