When the war between the Duchy of Lane and the Kingdom of Dabion broke out completely, the entire continent was actually seen as a joke.

Because no one has ever thought that the Duchy of Ryan dared to destroy the Kingdom of Dabiang, even if the war a few years ago was indeed the advantage of the Duchy of Laion and once defeated the Kingdom of Dabiang, but in the end they still returned a large amount of territory. It stands to reason that the Duchy of Lane, which was the victor in that war, could completely let the Kingdom of Dabiang cede land and pay compensation, at least one of the two countries won the war, and it was definitely impossible to return the territory so easily.

However, the Duchy of Lane still had to be returned.

Because they are principalities.

The so-called principalities are the dependencies of other countries, and to some extent, they have lost a very large degree of freedom, and they cannot help themselves in whatever they do. Otherwise, the end of the war would not have been Asuna's return of the territories she had defeated.

Therefore, no one paid attention to this war until the total victory in the southern theater of operations.

Except for the fascist kingdom.

This country is really preparing for the robbery while the fire is on fire, and for this reason they even secretly gathered an army of 300,000, waiting to raise troops to invade immediately when the kingdom of Dabion is unprepared.

It's just that the situation on the battlefield has evolved too quickly.

The army of the fascist kingdom, which had almost arrived, had no time to react.

An all-round victory in the Southern Theater, especially Cazes. The extermination of Prince Hodgdy's family finally made the surrounding countries realize the difference between the two wars this time. Judging from this scale, this is definitely a pattern of endless war, after all, Prince Hodgdi is the uncle of King Moloch VII of Dabiang, and he is also a member of the royal family anyway, so his death is destined for this war to not end easily.

Therefore. The complete rout of the army of the Principality of Lane in the Northwest Theater at that time was naturally regarded as a bloody battle of revenge that the Kingdom of Dabion finally launched.

It's just that the judgment of this point of view has only appeared for less than a few days, and when new information is transmitted, this time even the Seven Great Empires are silent. Although they did not receive important information such as the disappearance of all the Sanctuary powerhouses of the Kingdom of Dabion overnight, the military departments of various countries also realized at the first time that this war would probably end with the destruction of the Kingdom of Dabiang.

Even many people believe that the Principality of Lane dares to be so tough this time, it must be the instruction of the Millennium Covenant Empire.

Only the emperor of the thousand-year alliance empire and the few core followers around him knew that this was not their idea at all, but the idea of a strong man of unknown origin. And according to this super strong man, it was the Dabion Kingdom that offended him. However, due to some rules, he couldn't destroy the country by himself, so he planned to use the hands of the Duchy of Lane to destroy the Kingdom of Dabiang, so whoever dared to meddle in this matter would be tantamount to provoking him.

As for how strong this strong man is, Tullman used only one sentence to explain.

"In front of him. The suppression of momentum alone was enough to hurt me. ”

Hearing Tuhlman's words, the emperor of the Millennium Covenant also fell silent. Because he saw with his own eyes that Tullman was wounded at the time. Luckily, however, Turman eventually brought a piece of news that could barely be considered good news.

As for other matters, the Millennial Covenant Empire can only remain silent about this.

Even if he didn't want to be silent, he couldn't help it.

Unless he's willing to trouble the demon - Nkos is still in the way of the Millennium Covenant Empire's path to the Duchy of Lane. According to the intelligence from the front, five orders of the Knights of the Church have been completely buried in the hands of this demon, and not even a single living person has escaped. In this way, the emperor naturally knew that this was definitely a bloody road.

Of course, the real reason why he didn't send troops to the Duchy of Lane, which had made it clear that it was likely to break away from his control, was that the purge within the empire was about to begin. If this plan fails. Then it was a real civil strife in the Empire, and he would also need to rely on soldiers to suppress it, so it was absolutely impossible for him to waste any troops to fight a demon at this time.

Therefore, the silence of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire naturally makes other countries think they know the truth of the matter.

Therefore, when the 300,000 troops secretly assembled by the Fascist Kingdom saw a blue-haired young woman standing alone in front of them, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned thousands of water elemental guards from the Water Moon Lake, the Fascist Kingdom regarded this woman as a reinforcement sent by the Millennium Covenant Empire. Looking at the scene in front of him, recalling the fear of being invaded by the Chainas Empire, the fascist kingdom finally silently chose to withdraw its troops - at least even if it really had to fight, it would definitely not be in this battlefield flooded with water.

And compared to the fascist kingdom, Dawyn. Söder. The Marquis of Shaber was similarly very calm.

When two figures, one black and one silver, appeared in the northwest theater to block the advance of Ryan's army, Dai Wen knew that it was impossible for them to take a step forward, and the momentum exuded from these two young women made Dai Wen feel like two huge mountains in front of them, and they could not climb over it for the rest of their lives. Therefore, in the face of this situation, which was completely beyond his manpower, Dai Wen directly ordered the whole army to stop advancing.

He could see that the two women just didn't want them to pass, and there was no hostility towards them.

And Dai Wen, in general, has already understood that all the powerhouses of the Sacred Domain of the Dabiang Kingdom will disappear overnight.

It's just that he understands it, and it doesn't mean that other people understand.

Many nobles in the Northwest Theater felt that if they could not move forward, then they would not be able to gain more military achievements, and seeing that the Southern Theater and the Southeast Theater were completely over, and the coalition army was advancing towards the Garold Fortress, these nobles could no longer sit still and asked to fight. In this regard, Dai Wen's reaction was very simple, you can fight if you want, anyway, their Sabo family will not attack.

Then, the strength of the Northwest Theater was sharply reduced by a third in one day.

None of the soldiers who attacked survived.

As a result, the entire Northwest Theater could only watch Asuna and Sean, the two guys they hated so much, successfully take the Garold Fortress, and then directly destroy the Kingdom of Dabion in one go.

Then, the war ended.

And at the moment of the end of the war. The two women, one black and one silver, who stopped the advance of the Northwest nobles, left. But leaving at this time is meaningless for the nobles of the Northwest Theater, because this war has completely ended, and they have lost any opportunity to reap the merits of the war. So to say that there is no resentment towards Sean and Asuna is obviously impossible.

But even if it's resentment, so what?

After the annexation of the territory of the Kingdom of Dabion this time, the entire nobility of the country will inevitably face a new round of reshuffle: it is now certain that there will be no fewer than six people who can be selected as the duke's choice. And after this war, he can become one of the few powerful marquis in the country in one step, and there will be at least six or seven more places. The marquis and earls accumulated over the years of the Duchy of Lane will definitely not care too much about these emerging nobles, but if these marquis and dukes are basically on Asuna's side. Then it's not for them to pay attention to it.

A new round of political struggle and conspiracy began to brew from the moment the kingdom of Dabion was completely destroyed.

Soon, envoys from various nobles in the Duchy of Lane began to travel around the territory of the Duchy. But if you gather intelligence carefully. It can be found that almost none of these envoys set foot in the areas of the two war zones southeast and south of the original Dabiang, but the old nobles and the new nobles in the Principality of Lane who did not like each other have become closer. Especially in the royal capital. The feasts of the families were almost never interrupted for a day.

……

At this time, in the Lord's Mansion in the Void City, Sean was sneering and throwing the documents sent by Asuna on the table, with obvious disdain on his face: "A group of rabble, they know that Lu Dao is engaged in a small conspiracy behind their backs, and if they have the ability, they will declare war head-on." ”

"Even if it's a frontal declaration of war now. We will also be at a disadvantage. William sneered coldly without even raising his head, he was now concentrating on drawing, coloring, and naming a map, "Now we have less than 40,000 troops left in our territory, even if we have more experience in actual combat because of the war." But such a large territory, if there are really nobles who declare war on us, how are you going to defend it? …… It's good to use your brain to do more things. ”

"Don't we still have allies?" Sean shrugged.

"Even if we have allies, it's useless." Hela suddenly spoke, "We have just experienced such a big battle, and we have fought three war zones from beginning to end, so in terms of elite soldiers, in addition to the Tyrant Bear Legion of the Baidi family, the Hopson Guard, the Tequila Army, and the three major legions under our command will not be able to continue fighting in a short period of time." …… As for the ordinary soldiers, excluding the wounded, we only have 15,000 soldiers left who still have the strength to fight. …… And the most important point is that in the face of those real old nobles, we do not have any advantage in high-end combat power, if we ask our allies to help, then it will inevitably cause disgust and condemnation from other nobles in the entire kingdom, and then the dispute may turn into civil strife. ”

"So, we will be sinners as the trigger for civil strife." William took Hela's words, but at this moment he finally raised his head and glanced at Sean, who looked like he was looking at an idiot, "In this way, unless our allies insist on advancing and retreating with us, or even raising the flag to rebel, we will have to face the forces of an entire kingdom, and maybe our allies will become enemies." ”

Although Sean believed that Asuna and the others would not be his enemy, he still felt very helpless when he heard this.

At that time, after the end of the war, he reached an agreement with six people, including the Boulder family, the Hopson family, the Bydi family, the Florentine family, Asuna, and Lonis, and signed an offensive and defensive alliance that would be consistent in many aspects, both political and war. And among the seven of them, 100% of them can now be determined that Asuna and Hatch. Boulder and Coos. Hopson and the other three were on the list of the first dukes of the Kingdom of Lane.

And he, the head of the Florentine and Bydi families are already on the list of marquises, but the other members of the Boulder family who could still occupy a place in the Ryan Kingdom in the game can only obtain a noble title and cannot obtain a territory. Even the tequila collar could not continue to maintain this size, and its territory would have to be cut by more than half at the very least.

Therefore, this seven-man alliance will have three dukes, three marquises, and one count.

This lineup, even if you look at those second-level kingdoms, is extremely eye-catching, so the other nobles of the Principality of Lane want to join forces. It's not that it's easy to understand. It's just that because they have just experienced a war, the only thing that their alliance can keep relatively complete troops is Count Lonis, and the rest of the people's forces have basically been completely exhausted, and it may be difficult to recover the previous situation without more than three or four years of recuperation.

And at this time, what they are most proud of and proud of is the top powerhouse under their command.

Asuna, Hatch, Coles, Florence and the other four alone combined have seven lower-ranking Sanctuary powerhouses. Although Sean does not have a Sanctuary powerhouse under his command, the two of Xuefanio and Rena are enough to be called invincible in the Golden Realm, especially Xuefanio alone is enough to make people daunting.

Although Sean didn't know where Andrew got the [Ancient Dragon Bloodline], which can be called a BUG, but Rena really didn't have anything to do after drinking it, and she also obtained this bloodline ability. Although she has not yet fully awakened this kind of blood power, she has already had a very obvious improvement in physical fitness, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Rena is half a dragon.

And it's not a surprise.

What really excites Sean even more is that Rena has directly transferred from [War Knight] to [Holy Dragon Knight]! Not only did she retain all the aura skills that the War Knight possessed, but she also gained the powerful combat abilities that the Dragon Knight series class possessed. If it is said that Rena will not be afraid of anyone even in a head-to-head head-to-head from now on, it can even be said that she can also use the power of her aura skills to suppress those opponents whose strength is comparable to her.

But there are pros and cons to everything.

The rank of Holy Dragon Knight is powerful. However, the difficulty of upgrading its class is far beyond the imagination of others.

The ranks of the Dragon Knight series have become extremely powerful due to individual abilities. And there is also the assistance of Wulong, so if you want to improve your strength, you must be promoted at the same time as the mount. In other words, if Rena didn't take good care of her mutated Imperial Dragon, which she had named "Blackstone", and let it become an eighth-level demonic beast, then Rena would probably only be stuck at the level of the upper golden peak for the rest of her life.

This is also quite frustrating.

So if it's just a simple competition for high-end combat power. Not to mention their seven-member alliance, even Sean alone is enough to walk sideways in the Duchy of Lane - provided that there is no intervention from the powerhouses of the Sanctuary Domain. But not to mention his allies, now he was 100% sure that after the end of this battle, the battle power of the Sacred Domain powerhouses in the hands of those veteran nobles and royals in the Principality of Lane would be as high as eight. Not to mention that these eight people shot together, just a random person was enough to give Sean a headache.

After all, Beth had already left the Void City yesterday. And when he went to Red Leaf Town later, the tavern opened by Andrew had also been sold, and Abith, Dex, Nanali and others were nowhere to be found, so it was equivalent to saying that he had now lost a gold medal for avoiding death.

Then the thought that he had now established two rival families within the kingdom made Sean's head hurt a little.

"So this time we went to the king, didn't we throw ourselves into the net?" Sean looked at Hela, then asked.

"Not this time." Hela shook her head and said, "After all, this is the post-war spoils stage, and when the time comes, whether we set off or return, we will go with Asuna and the others, so even if some bold nobles want to assassinate us, they will definitely not choose to be on the road." …… Of course, if we enter the royal capital, then we may really encounter some troubles, which can only be solved by ourselves. ”

"Yes." Sean's brows furrowed slightly, "Then it seems that the person we are going to set off this time can only be much more expensive." ”

"Yes." Hela nodded, "But after we divide the spoils, we will probably start to officially enter the stage of competition, and then not only assassination, but also all kinds of conspiracy methods and political threats will follow." If we expose our weaknesses or fail to stand our ground in these battles, then we are likely to suffer significant losses. ”

"If it's just a domestic contradiction, it's easy to solve." William finally stood up, and then moved his right hand, "I'm more worried about the pressure of public opinion from the outside right now. …… After all, we still had such a pretense in the war before, but now that it's over, I'm afraid those guys in the business alliance won't give up, right? In that case, your head will be worth a lot of money. ”

Hearing William's words, Hela looked at Sean with some confusion, obviously not understanding what this meant.

So, William patiently told Sean all the stupid things he had done to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, especially focusing on the heinous crimes committed in the black market in the Gray Shadow Forest. Although the robbery was very cool for a while, and Sean and the others were indeed extremely profitable, the after-effects were enough to make people collapse, the most important of which was that the trade capital had blacklisted Sean and others and refused them entry.

In this way, they naturally have no way to quickly replenish the source of troops.

You must know that the steel wings are all Northland barbarians!

Hela looked at Sean's gaze, full of helplessness: "What a lord who never cares about the consequences." ”

"Hmph, what is the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, after I solve the next troubles, I will naturally settle accounts with them slowly." Sean sneered, "By the way, has the territory of the Void Realm been determined?" ”

"Whoa." William nodded at the map on the table. (To be continued......)
