Chapter 947 The Other End that Is No Longer Far Away

"Mr. Stone, has there been no news from Hanshui yet?"

I saw the fourth prince sitting obliquely at the top of a rectangular conference table, leaning on his chin with one hand, and asked the head of the Lancaster Patriarch with a cold face.

It can be seen from the environment that although the space here is quite spacious and clean and tidy, the simple decoration style is completely different from the magnificent hall where the fourth prince and others were before, and it clearly reveals a chilling atmosphere .

This undoubtedly means that this is not the magnificent palace of the fourth prince, but a secret command post close to the front line.

"Returning to Your Highness, there is no news yet, and the absolute imprisonment barrier in Lion Heart City has not been lifted."

There was a faint murderous look on Grand Duke Stone's old face, he stroked his white beard lightly and said: "However, there is still a while before the appointed time, probably because Han Shui is still fighting with despicable outsiders."

"It's also possible that Han Shui has already failed, and that despicable outsider and the fifth princess are planning some kind of conspiracy."

Directly opposite Stone, the Duke of Kent, the ruler of the Yorkman family, frowned and said expressionlessly.

"Only in terms of background, the Shanglu family that has run the trade fair for hundreds of years is obviously better than my Lancaster and Yorkman families, and it is also the first generation to hire strong people to strengthen the main city of the family. An important job that is indispensable to the head of the household.”

Stone turned his turbid old eyes and analyzed to the fourth prince: "Your Highness, as far as I know, the strength of Lionheart City is comparable to that of the king's capital, especially inside and outside the Patriarch's Castle, which is located at the core of the inner city. A magic trap is enough to easily bury a fifth-order powerhouse."

"The fact is exactly the same. For hundreds of years, there are not a few fifth-level intruders who died in the main city of the Shanglu family. Coupled with Han Shui's thoughtfulness, ruthless methods, and the powerful hole card given by His Highness, The old minister thinks that it is very difficult for the despicable guest to take advantage of it."

"In the final analysis, Lion Heart City is Hanshui's home stadium, and that despicable guest is new to the city, so there are always limitations."

A grim expression appeared on Stone's old face, and he said with a sinister smile: "No matter how bad it is, both sides will at least be a loser."

"I don't think so. According to yesterday's latest information, although the four opposition elders of the Shanglu family have been wiped out by Hanshui along with the castle, there are still two vacillating neutral elders who have not had time to deal with them. If those despicable elders If people from another world have drawn these two people together, I am afraid the situation will not be optimistic."

Kent still held a pessimistic attitude, and said to the fourth prince: "Your Highness, according to your previous thinking, I will take advantage of the cold water to fight with that despicable outsider, and I will immediately march eastward and return to Fort Ferro and Robb City." In time."

"In this way, no matter how the despicable outsider operates, the result will only be defeat."

Kent frowned, and continued: "This subject thinks that we should do something instead of just sitting here and waiting for the news of Hanshui."

"The Grand Duke of Kent's words are wrong. Now that Hanshui is not in power, we can't mobilize 250,000 Shanglu troops. This is a fatal problem."

Stone lightly stroked his gray beard, and retorted: "If we want to take the opportunity to advance eastward and eat the Fort Ferro and Robb City, which are stationed by at least 100,000 enemy troops, we must use our main force."

"This means that the defenders of Fort Kell will only be left with the Merchant Army. At that time, if that despicable Keqing takes the opportunity to incite the Merchant Army in the city to rebel, then we will undoubtedly be in a state of being attacked."

Speaking of this, a coldness flashed in Stone's old eyes: "At that time, the situation will be extremely dire."

"Grand Duke Stone, don't you think that the despicable Keqing and Han Shui are at least a lose-lose? Why did you come to Fort Kell to incite the army of the Shanglu family?"

Kent snorted coldly, frowned and said: "This is an excellent opportunity to attack. If this opportunity is missed, the situation of the battle will become more complicated."

"The Grand Duke of Kent is worrying too much. With our superior force, even in a head-on confrontation, we can completely defeat the opponent at the least cost. There is no need to take this risk."

Stone waved his hand and confronted the opponent sharply: "Since there is a safe way to defeat the opponent, why take the risk and advance lightly?"

"The two grand dukes are very reasonable, but I think it is better to keep the same and respond to the changes. After all, our strength does occupy an absolute advantage. There is no doubt about it."

Seeing that Stone and Kent were quarreling more and more fiercely, the fourth prince interrupted the dispute with a few coughs, and then said to the slightly stooped Patriarch of Lancaster: "Mr. Stone, what do you mean? Can despicable outsiders really cause the merchant army to rebel?"

"Your Highness, don't listen to Grand Duke Stone's alarmist words."

Kent looked at him with disdain, and snorted coldly with contempt: "So what if that despicable outsider really defeated the cold water? After all, if you want to mobilize the army of Shanglu, the identity of the Patriarch and the Patriarch's Soldier Talisman are indispensable."

"You know, four of the 11 elders who formed the Shanglu Family's Presbyterian Council have been eliminated by Han Shui, which means that no resolution can take effect until the Presbyterian Council is re-formed, let alone the replacement of the Patriarch. .”

"Could it be that under such circumstances, the despicable outsider and the fifth princess who can only play tricks can support a new Patriarch?"

The disdain on Kent's face became more and more intense, and he snorted and said: "Take a step back, even if it is really done, how will the commanders of the Shanglu family who are on the front line judge the authenticity of the new Patriarch?"

"It's very simple, as long as that despicable outsider can successfully win over all the elders of the Presbyterian Church and let the elders come forward to explain, everything can be easily solved. After all, all the commanders of the Shanglu family here are connected by blood with those elders. "

Stone cast a glance at Kent, and said calmly: "Before that, that despicable outsider has at least won over two presidents of the Shanglu Fair. Although the possibility is slim, it is not completely impossible."

"Absurd words! Hanshui has managed the Shanglu family for decades, but he has not yet won the approval of all the members of the Presbyterian Church. How can the despicable outsiders do it in such a short period of time?"

Kent's eyes were full of contempt, and he retorted in a deep voice: "Furthermore, four elders have died so far. How can the despicable outsider persuade the commander who is related to them by blood?"

"The Grand Duke of Kent is right. Even if that despicable outsider can really convince some Shanglu family members, the other part will definitely be aware of it. At that time, we can let the two kill each other."

Seeing that the two grand dukes were fighting each other again, this time the fourth prince stood by Yorkman and said with a smile, "Of course, these are extreme situations. ability."

"Hehe, what His Highness said is very true."

Stone lightly stroked his short gray beard, and echoed, "So, it is the best choice to respond to all changes without change. If Hanshui successfully injures that despicable outsider and returns, I will move eastward again, and I will definitely do it in one fell swoop." Annihilate the opponent."

"And if Hanshui dies, His Royal Highness, who is so heroic, can also take over the command of the Shanglu army. At that time, the power of the despicable aliens will still have only one way to destroy."

Hearing what Stone said, a smile appeared on the murderous face of the fourth prince, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Highness, the reason why Grand Duke Stone is alarmist and emphasizes the use of silence is only because the number of the main force of the Lancaster family is limited, far inferior to my Yorkman family, so that I am afraid that my Yorkman family will take the lead. That's all."

Kent saw that the fourth prince had adopted the other party's suggestion, but he still refused to let go and said: "Your Highness, the opportunity to fight is fleeting, please pay attention to it."

"Secretary Kent's eagerness to defeat the opponent is worthy of my demeanor of a wealthy family in the Lengyan Kingdom. I will definitely let the Yorkman family show their strengths in this battle, so as to repay Sir Kent's heroism, but at present I think it is better to use silence It's more appropriate to move."

The fourth prince first comforted Patriarch Yorkman, and then said to Patriarch Lancaster: "Mr. Stone, although the possibility is very slim, since you have already expected that despicable alien will win over the merchant army, Then the corresponding measures must have been deployed, right?"

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, the old minister has indeed made corresponding secret arrangements in secret."

A sly look appeared on Stone's old face, and he nodded and said, "Because of the longest distance, the number of the main force of the veteran Lancaster family that arrived at Fort Kell is not as large as that of the Yorkman family, but they are An elite magic army has arrived."

"This magic army is not only comparable to the royal guard army led by that guy, but also has an elite magic detection brigade, which is responsible for intercepting magic communications."

"When this legion arrived at Fort Keil, under the order of the old minister, a wide-area monitoring barrier was secretly deployed in the entire fortress, which is enough to intercept any magical communication in the fortress."

"In addition, Fort Kell itself has already activated an absolute defensive enchantment, and outsiders cannot enter at all. This means that if those despicable outsiders try to win over the commander of the Shanglu family in the city, we will immediately Got the news."

"After all, the secret meeting room where we are located is located in Wangshi City, which is the closest to Fort Keil. It is not only extremely safe, but also has a complete communication network with Fort Keil, which allows real-time command."

The cunning on Stone's old face became more and more intense, and he smiled sinisterly at the fourth prince: "Once we get the news, as long as we launch a surprise attack to destroy the command center of the merchant army preparing to rebel, the initiative will naturally be in our hands. "

"As expected of Mr. Stone, as long as this despicable outsider murdered Duke Hanshui and many elders as a reason, it is easy for this prince to control the entire Shanglu army!"

The fourth prince nodded in satisfaction, with an excited look on his face: "In this way, no matter what the outcome between that despicable outsider and Lord Han Shui is, we will win the final victory!"

"Hehe, just as His Highness said, it will be the time for His Highness to aspire to the throne and become Leng Yan's new king."

Stone also had a smile on his face, and quickly echoed, "I'm really looking forward to that moment."

"At that time, both the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family will be the biggest contributors!"

The excitement on the face of the fourth prince became more and more intense, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth immediately: "This prince will not only make you stronger in the Cold Flame Kingdom, but also lead you to expand the territory and plant our battle flags all over the human race." Nations!"

"Long live Your Highness!"

Hearing the sound, the Grand Duke Stone and the helpless Grand Duke of Kent both touched their chests and saluted, swearing loyalty to the fourth prince.

"At that time, not only that despicable guest from another world, but also all the other world lords who descended must be eradicated!"

The fourth prince nodded slightly, with a mixed look of excitement and sternness on his face, as if he was only one step away from the throne.

"Your Highness, I think that while Grand Duke Stone is monitoring the magic communication, we need to further guard against the Shanglu family army just in case."

I saw Kent pondering for a moment, and then said: "Although for the sake of caution, the garrisons of the three giants of Fort Kell and the noble coalition forces of His Highness have adopted the method of cross-garrison and cross-duty, in case there is a problem with one side. .”

"However, the cities of many Shanglu family legions are still relatively close to each other. Although the possibility is slim, once these forces merge, there will be chaos in the city."

Kent stroked his chin and continued: "So I suggest that the Yorkman family, the Lancaster family, and the noble coalition forces of His Royal Highness should further quietly deploy forces to surround the merchant army to prevent accidents."

"The Grand Duke of Kent's proposal is exactly what I want. No matter at any time, we must prepare for the worst and take corresponding countermeasures to be truly foolproof."

The fourth prince accepted Kent's suggestion without hesitation, nodded to the two grand dukes and said, "Okay, go and call the other generals in, and I will arrange this matter later."

"Decree!"

The two grand dukes touched their chests again and saluted in unison.

When everything was arranged, the fourth prince's gloomy face was full of uncontrollable killing intent, and he said solemnly: "You despicable outsider, this prince should take a good look at how you are still fighting with me."

Just as the fourth prince secretly completed the layout.

Lei Xiao and his party, along with Keane and other elders, had also quietly arrived near Fort Kell.

Under the bright sunlight, the majestic city in front of me looks like a giant that fell from the sky. It is located at the narrow pass between Baibu Mountain Range and Songyin Mountain Range. Its geographical location is almost the same as Wangxing City.

But in front of Fort Kell, there is no long and narrow corridor, but an extremely open space, which is somewhat similar to Luolong City.

The most important thing is that, as the gate of the king's capital, Fort Kell is much larger than the former two. The towering city walls are endless, and the surrounding atmosphere is full of murder, even better than the mountain fortress.

"This city is not only majestic on the outside, but also extremely large on the inside. It is extremely easy to station a million troops, and it will not be crowded at all. It is simply a fortress city in a fortress city."

Lei Xiao looked up at the unattainable city wall that seemed to be connected to the sky, his eyes became more solemn.

"No matter what kind of mountains of swords and fires are waiting for us ahead, I must conquer this city!"
