Chapter 703 Don’t Sleep Too Deeply at Night
Most of the time, wars are caused purely for profit.
And now the goddess of the underworld, Nefertii, has given Hadi a great benefit.
A piece of ‘divine crystal’!
It sounds unfair.
On one side are the lives of countless soldiers, and on the other side is just a dead object.
The two seem to be incomparable.
But it is precisely such a dead object, purely from the value and rarity, that is worth starting a world war.
After all... sometimes two countries will go to war to grab a beautiful woman.
Hadi was also in distress at this time.
He wanted this piece of divine crystal very much, but when he thought about the blood pit that needed a large number of soldiers to fill, he hesitated.
The war he initiated before was justified, and his self-interest was relatively small.
But this time, he was really more self-interested.
It was just for his own strength improvement!
Hadi sat in the study, subconsciously playing with the dagger in his hand.
This is a weapon made of pure silver, generally used to deal with special dark creatures.
But there are few dark creatures in the human world, so this weapon has more symbolic significance than practical significance.
It is more of a collection that symbolizes identity.
While he was still hesitating, intelligence from a few days ago was collected.
This is mainly based on intelligence collected by players. After all, Hardy's intelligence organization has no way to reach into the Inrodo Kingdom.
The intelligence shows that because of the death of 20 envoys, the Inrodo Kingdom has listed France as a hostile country, and has even begun to mobilize its lords, organize a large army, and prepare to attack France on both land and sea.
And Hardy is their first target.
They even shouted a slogan: Conquer France in half a year and capture Queen Sissi alive.
Seeing this, Hardy looked confused.
No... I didn't bother you, but you came to attack our France?
Is this the "curse" that the goddess of the underworld Neferti said?
But I have to say that the Inrodo Kingdom is really "brave".
How dare they have the confidence to trouble the most powerful country in the human race?
It seems that this war has to be fought.
Then, Hardy saw the second piece of information.
Margaret Spencer, a princess from Cardo who married into Inrodo, died in Inrodo at the age of 31.
When Hardy saw this, he thought it was just an ordinary death from illness or an accident.
But when he looked down again... his eyes wrinkled.
There were not many records in the information, and only a few words were used to express the tragic experience of Princess Margaret.
'Princess Margaret was forced to serve eight princes at the same time in public at a court banquet a month ago, and finally died of anal fissure'.
Inrodo has always had the custom of sharing (wives), and brothers of the same generation can enjoy each other's sisters-in-law or younger sisters.
But this is obviously a big deal.
When Hardy saw this, he couldn't help but mourn for the poor princess.
At the end of the intelligence, it was written that the Cardo royal family demanded that Inrodo hand over the eight murderers, return Margaret's body, and pay a huge compensation, otherwise the whole country would attack Inrodo.
Inrodo naturally did not want to, and if the eight princes were handed over, who would inherit the royal throne.
Now the Cardo royal family has made it known that they will attack Inrodo in a month. This is blood revenge, and this is a just act.
Hadi tapped the table lightly, and then smiled: "No wonder Hades said that this war is easy."
The intelligence was brought by Petra. Seeing that Hadi was happy, she smiled and said: "Have you found a solution to the troubles of the past few days?"
"Yes." Hadi stood up: "I will go to the Hades Temple and give Hades an answer."
Hadi went to the Hades Temple in the morning and came back in the evening.
There was no way, the crying black cat Erica was really interesting.
So it took a lot of time.
When Hadi returned home, Petra put a secret letter on his desk.
"The royal family is here."
"It should be a war meeting." Hardy laughed.
Petra nodded: "Kardo will definitely find us France to conduct joint operations to reduce losses."
"It is indeed...Queen Sissi's call." Hardy had already opened the secret letter at this time. After reading it, he flicked the paper on it.
"Then go." Petra straightened Hardy's clothes: "By the way, take Sophie, Joanna, and Scarlett with you. The three of them can not only relieve your boredom, but also help you get intelligence."
"Then as usual, the family will be left to you." Hardy hugged Petra.
"Don't worry."
The next day, Hardy set off alone.
Although he looked like he was alone, in fact, there were two former demon generals and a captain of the logistics brigade hidden in his shadow.
And he himself is also one of the top combat forces of mankind.
He set out alone, and the danger was not him, but those who dared to rob.
However, along the way, he did not encounter robbers.
The reason is very simple. This road leading directly to Boris was built by Hadi, and patrol teams were also sent to patrol and maintain it on a daily basis.
No one would dare to rob on this road unless they were fools.
Therefore, there were many caravans traveling along the way, either going to Louisian County or transporting goods from Louisian County.
The main goods are white paper and several specialties of the elves.
The elves have made a lot of money recently.
The tonics are very effective and have formed a good reputation, and have spread to regions and countries outside France.
Hardy rode as fast as he could, but it still took him about five days to reach the royal city of Boris.
After he entered the city, he wanted to stay in a hotel directly, but he didn't expect to meet Mrs. Anna who was out shopping on the street.
"Hardy... where are you going?" Mrs. Anna first spotted Hardy who was walking slowly by the side.
Because there were many pedestrians on the road, Hardy was walking slowly with his horse.
Hardy twisted and saw Mrs. Anna in the crowded crowd.
"Let's find a place to stay." Hardy said with a smile.
"That's right, Sissi issued a call." Anna looked Hardy up and down, then she patted her head gently: "Don't make noise!"
Then she looked up suddenly and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I'm not talking about you."
"I know." Hardy nodded.
Presumably, it was another Anna who was getting restless at this time.
After all, Hardy and the other Anna, the one who belongs to him, have not seen each other for more than a year.
"You can stay at home." Anna looked at Hardy and smiled, "We are a family. If you stay outside every time you come to the royal city, others will make unwarranted associations."
This is indeed reasonable.
Hardy nodded: "Okay, I just want to pay a visit to Lord Dora. Also, how is Victor recently?"
"Very good." Mrs. Anna smiled: "But he is not in the city."
"Then where did he go?"
"Recently, Sissi listed the Stonemasons Association as an evil organization. He took his brother and nephew to fight bandits." Mrs. Anna said helplessly: "He said to train their abilities and lay a solid foundation for the future of the Jeanna family... and don't sleep too deeply at night."
The last sentence, she said very softly, so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Hardy knew that this was not said by her, but by another Mrs. Anna. (End of this chapter)
