Chapter 682 The Highest Level of Assists

The news of Hardy's dispatch of troops spread throughout France within just a few days.

All the lords thought that Hardy was going to fight abroad again and expand the territory.

As a result, they saw... he was heading for Shant County.

And in less than seven days, he directly surrounded the entire Shant City.

Although the attack has not been launched yet, this incident shocked everyone in France.

"Why did Lord Hardy suddenly attack his own people?"

"Did Lord Sapiro offend Hardy in any way?"

"I heard that he was accused of colluding with the demons, betraying humans, and betraying France."

"Ah..."

These were the exchanges of lords who did not know the reason for the incident.

And those who knew the general reason were silent on the surface, and communicated in anger and panic in private.

When Queen Sissi learned about this, she was just confused, then smiled, and didn't take it seriously anymore.

Her husband, Abelon-Mint, said unhappily in front of Sissi: "Look, this Hardy is getting more and more presumptuous. He dares to attack other lords now, and he will dare to attack the royal family in the future."

Queen Sissi drank the purple elven tea and chuckled: "Abelon, your statement is too exaggerated."

"I am giving you advice very seriously."

Queen Sissi put down the teacup, her beautiful face full of charm: "I am listening too, but I think this is impossible. Hardy will not do anything to us."

"Why?"

"Because he is Hardy." Queen Sissi sighed softly: "He pushed me to sit on my throne. He spent a lot of effort to help your daughter get the throne of the Pope. He is so loyal to our Jeanna family and our Mint family. You actually doubt him. Isn't it too much?"

Abelon was speechless for a moment.

Queen Sissi continued, "Abelon, you are now a candidate for cardinal. Although you will never become pope in this lifetime, don't you have a share in Karina's glory? You should keep a low profile now and don't cause trouble for Karina. As pope, her words and deeds, even the behavior of her relatives, will affect her reputation."

"But..."

Abelon felt a little depressed.

He felt very uncomfortable when he thought that his daughter had become pope, and she took the position at the age of seventeen.

This meant that he would never become pope in his lifetime.

After all... under normal circumstances, it would be unreasonable for a daughter to die before her father.

Besides, Karina was a saint, very powerful and very long-lived.

"Abelon, we are husband and wife. Karina is our daughter." Queen Sissi sighed, "If we can't help our daughter, we can't cause trouble for her. We don't understand what Hadi is doing, but it doesn't matter. I, my deceased mother, father and elder brother all trust Hadi very much."

Abelon's face turned blue and purple, then he stood up and said unhappily, "You will regret it sooner or later if you trust an outsider so much."

After that, he left angrily.

Queen Sissi looked at Abelon's back as he left and sighed softly.

Ni Cai walked over from the side and looked at Abelon's back with a bit of sarcasm on her face.

"How is Abelon doing recently?"

"He is in contact with some very special people. He seems to be interested in the position of Pope." Ni Cai laughed: "I borrowed Hadi's intelligence network, which should be credible."

"Hadi's intelligence network? Does Hadi know about this?"

Ni Cai shook her head: "He probably doesn't know yet. Hadi is very busy and doesn't have so much time to take care of these unimportant things."

"The Pope's position is occupied by Karina, who is his daughter. Why does he still have ideas about the Pope's position?" Sissi was very puzzled.

"Men have a strong desire for power."

Sissi stroked her brows with a headache, then asked: "Why did he target Hardy? Did he know about Hardy and me?"

"Not that... I actually understand why he hates Hardy." Ni Cai laughed: "I've seen such people."

"What's the reason?"

"He hates Hardy for helping Karina to sit on the throne of the Pope. He hates why Hardy didn't help him sit on it! He hates why it wasn't himself!" Ni Cai's expression was a little gloomy: "It's that simple! Some men are just like this, blaming the heavens, the earth and others, and they can't change their character."

Sissi's face showed worry.

On the other side, Hardy sat on a horse, standing about a hundred meters in front of the city gate.

Behind him were the Silver Wing Knights in silver armor.

Further behind him was a phalanx of 20,000 elite soldiers.

With such a specification, it is possible to conquer a small country, not to mention a small Shant County.

The soldiers on the city wall were trembling with fear.

But no one dared to shout or curse below.

They stood on the city wall with terrified eyes, facing the scorching sun, licking their lips from time to time.

After more than ten minutes, a middle-aged man finally stood behind the parapet of the city gate, dressed in gorgeous clothes.

"Sir Hardy, why did you bring troops to us? What do you want to do?"

"I have solid evidence that the Sapiro family colluded with the demons and betrayed humans. Surrender and I will give you a decent death."

"You are talking nonsense!" The man in gorgeous clothes on the wall shouted angrily: "I didn't collude with the demons, I didn't betray humans. You are slandering, you are taking revenge, you are a personal grudge!"

Hearing this, Hardy smiled: "Then tell me, what personal grudge do I have with you?"

"I..."

The man in gorgeous clothes is the lord here, Friedaman Sapiro.

He naturally knows the purpose of coming here.

The death of the Inrodo envoy was actually a trap set by the people he planted in Louisian County.

He felt that he had done a good job in this matter, and no one knew about it.

Next, he can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers, watching Hardy and the vengeful country of Inrodo quarreling and fighting.

As a result...It has not been half a month, and Hardy came directly to the door.

Is the other party's intelligence so terrible?

In fact, Hardy didn't know that the matter of the Inrodo envoy was done by Sapiro.

He just came here to attack the Stonemasons Association.

Before, he was entangled with many things and couldn't get out.

Moreover, the Netherlands will soon set off a wave, and Hardy will naturally take this opportunity to eliminate the Masons Association in France as much as possible.

"So, you think I came to you because of a personal grudge?" Hardy laughed: "It seems that you and I are both aware of the personal grudge."

Sapiro immediately felt sweat pouring down his back.

He did not expect that he would let the other party interpret important information with just a simple sentence.

Hardy drew out his long sword, raised it high, and shouted: "Listen to all the soldiers and civilians in Shant City. I only target Sapiro's family. I come on behalf of justice. The spies of the demons must be eliminated. If you are willing to believe me, then please do not resist in the subsequent battles. We will not kill any unarmed person, nor will we kill soldiers who have no fighting will. Swear in the name of the Goddess of Light. If you violate it, please ask the goddess to punish you."

Hardy said this just to reduce the resistance of Shant City.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a golden beam of light fell from the sky and enveloped him.

The beautiful young man on the horse raised the silver sword high, and the power of light descended from the heaven. He was handsome and sacred in the light! (End of this chapter)
