Grand Duke of the Void Sean. The news of Connery's return to the Void Principality has spread throughout the Principality.

In an instant, the Void Principality, which was still in fear, completely calmed down.

It's as if a long-distance ship encountered a storm at sea, and finally sailed out of the storm circle after a difficult survival struggle, and ushered in a beautiful wind and sunshine.

Sean, as the soul of the Void Principality, he has the advantages of Neil, William, and Hela, the Void Triumvirate, which will naturally never be matched. It was as if Anno was to steel wings, and all the Northland barbarians who came to the Void Duchy, no matter which tribe they belonged to before, shouted out the "chieftain" from the bottom of their hearts.

In the course of half a year, the Void Duchy broke out five riots and civil strife due to the assassination of William, the heavy loss of Iron Wings, the absence of the Thunder Lion and Cecilia's Guard, and the departure of Sean and Cecilia. Of course, each result was brutal and bloody suppression, and anyone who participated in the riots was killed, young and old—in fact, it was the direct trigger for the next four riots.

It's just that after five successive brutal suppressions, the people of the entire Void Principality know that the iron-blooded will from above is serious.

In some ways, this also isolates the possible subsequent effects of a qiē.

Of course, in terms of casualties, it was also tragic. A total of more than 2,000 regular army soldiers in charge of maintaining law and order died, but the casualties among the civilian class were even more tragic, according to incomplete statistics, more than five figures of civilians died in the suppression and riots, which naturally caused a certain amount of damage to the future of the Void Principality, and even because of the iron-blooded methods used to suppress the rebellion. It will also lead to the fact that there will be no displaced people for a long time to come.

For these actions, Sean is on his way back to Void City. He'd already heard the report from the man Neil had sent.

In this regard, his expression did not change in the slightest.

Because he knows. If Neil doesn't take such a thunderous measure, then the entire Void Principality will be completely in turmoil, and before he returns, I am afraid that this Void Principality will fall apart due to civil strife less than a year after its establishment. And obviously, it is also the enemy's purpose to want the Void Principality to fall apart, and after understanding the various details, Sean's face gradually became very difficult to see.

Unlike William, who had to continue to rely on carriages to return to the Void Principality after returning to the Void Principality from the Savage Lands.

Today's Void Principality, despite the blockade of its borders, leads to the blockade of trade and news. However, it also accelerated the construction of the teleportation magic array. By the time Rena went to find Sean, these teleportation magic arrays had been gradually built, so after Sean, Rena, Nolo, and Blackstone entered the territory of the Void Principality, they did not have the slightest delay, and directly teleported the magic array back to Void City through Guò.

At this time, the Void City, which had already received the information, also had a large number of guards stationed next to the teleportation magic array.

Hundreds of pitch-black winged soldiers guarded the entire magic array, and a large number of pitch-black winged soldiers were stationed all the way from the magic array to the lord's mansion, and even the city defense army of Void City was almost three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry arranged the defense line. It can be seen that after William's assassination, the Duchy of Sean has obviously worked the protection of the high-level.

This can be seen from the fact that those pitch-black wings actually directly opened the scale armor arch guard array.

This formation. It is usually the responsibility of the guard regiments of those big men on the battlefield.

After all, not any legion will rush to the front line with the troops of the guard regiment like Alfred and Rena. Generals like William, Hela, and Stalin were usually the last to command and mobilize directly on the battlefield. Therefore, it is natural that the guard regiment is responsible for arch protection to prevent the enemy from cutting through the Chinese army and taking the base camp without troops.

Of course. will make the entire Void City look like a great enemy, in addition to building momentum for Sean's return. Another reason is also because the residents of Void City are not forbidden to take to the streets this time. Sean is not in the Void Principality, and it has long been no secret in the past six months, so it is very important and meaningful for Sean to return at this time for the people of the entire Void City to witness with their own eyes.

When the teleportation array was flooded with a dazzling white light, the people around the teleportation magic array at this moment had a strange atmosphere that could not be explained and explained.

Everyone stared intently at this white mang.

When this brilliant white light gradually dissipated, revealing one of its figures, the people surrounding couldn't help but hold their breath. All they felt was a wave of nervousness and excitement. When the white light completely dissipated, and then a young man with black hair stood firmly in the magic array, and walked out with a cold and calm face, the surrounding people finally broke out into a roar and cheer.

And the black-winged soldiers who were responsible for guarding and protecting the magic array, although they did not burst into such a loud cheer like these people, but everyone bowed slightly at the same time, and at the same time put the heavy shields and spears in their hands to the ground-because everyone's movements were very neat and uniform, so the dull "bang" sound of these heavy heavy shields and spears when they hit the ground sounded like there was only one, but the sound of so many people making the same action was extremely powerful after all, It's even like a war drum, and it only makes people feel a burst of blood boiling.

A murderous aura instantly emanated from the entire pitch-black wing.

Although the momentum was not as loud as the cheers of the residents of Void City, the momentum was even greater than that of these residents!

"Welcome back to the Grand Duke!"

Sean glanced around at the legion that William had single-handedly trained, and nodded slightly.

After Sean, Nolo and Rena, who rode the black stone, also revealed their figures.

In fact, these two people followed Sean into the teleportation magic array, and in terms of time difference, they were only 0.1 second slower than Sean at most, so the time when the teleportation ended was actually about the same as Sean's appearance. It's just that because of many factors such as momentum, status, identity, etc., this buffer of tenths of a second is extremely abrupt. It's just that as soon as these two people appeared, the aura of that Sacred Domain powerhouse exuded on the spot. In particular, the dragon power of the black stone slowly spread out, which added a bit of power to Sean's return.

With Sean's step. The scale armor guard array surrounded by the black-winged soldiers soon followed.

Along the way, as Sean got closer and closer to the Lord's Mansion, the scale of the Black Wings' guards gradually increased, but because the Lord's Mansion could not accommodate the entire Black Wings Legion, these soldiers could only monitor all the areas near the Lord's Mansion. All the intersections were guarded by black-winged soldiers, and all the streets were patrolled by black-winged soldiers.

At this moment, all the soldiers with dark wings entered a wartime alert state.

Because everyone knows that today's Void City. It is destined to be extraordinary.

After returning to the Lord's Mansion, Heishi lay directly at the main entrance.

With such a two-time mutated dragon that is already an eighth-level strength guarding it, if it is not a powerhouse above the upper rank of the holy realm, he will not want to step into this lord's mansion for half a step.

Sean, on the other hand, took Rena and Noro straight to the conference room.

At this time, all the high-ranking officials of the Void Principality who had received the news of Sean's return had already gathered in this conference room.

These people were obviously holding back a wave of anger as well, so everyone's faces were extremely solemn, far less casual and playful than usual. The atmosphere in the entire meeting room. It seemed extremely stagnant, as if the air flow could not flow in this conference room, and the cold and silent atmosphere was like the silence and dullness before the storm. It was also like the earth trembling on the eve of a volcanic eruption.

The emotion called anger is constantly permeating, contagious, and breeding in this meeting room.

Just to wait for an outlet, so as to completely vent a qiē anger.

Finally. There was a sound of footsteps outside.

Everyone in the conference room looked at the door of the conference room.

The sound of footsteps walked slowly. But the sound of the feet was loud, like the beating of war drums. Slowly passed from far to near. As the sound approached, everyone's expressions gradually became a little excited, and many of them's faces were slightly red, obviously becoming excited. And when the footsteps finally stopped outside the door of the conference room, everyone held their breath and waited.

Wait for the moment when the door to this conference room is pushed open.

"Squeak!"

Finally, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

Everyone stood up in unison and looked directly at the young man with jet-black hair standing outside the door.

No matter how long this young man has been away from the Void Principality, and no matter what turmoil the Void Principality has faced in the past six months, when this young man finally appeared in front of them, everyone in the conference room felt as if they had found the backbone, and everyone's hearts became extremely calm.

It is no wonder that these people with natural resources would show such a demeanor to such a young man, because he has left too many legends in just a few years. In the same way, it is also because this young man has too many titles.

The barbarians of the Northland called him the Savior.

The inhabitants of the void call him the Lord of Miracles.

The nobles of Lane called him the Grand Duke of the Void.

His enemies gritted their teeth with gritted teeth of resentment at the mention of his name.

His allies let out a convincing exclamation at the mention of his name.

Sean. Connelly.

This name is now not only resounding in the Ryan Kingdom, but also has a certain degree of popularity in the entire Southern Continent.

Sean, who was standing outside the door, swept his gaze over the people in the conference room one by one.

The first thing that catches your eye is the three people on the left side of the room.

Nock, Stalin, Aldolf.

These three people became famous in that war with the Nugus family, and each of them has their own characteristics.

Nock is the most cautious in his military style, he is well versed in the way of protection, he is especially good at running and galloping, and his legion still holds the record of the least loss in the entire Void Principality; Stalin's style of employing troops is old and steady, and he is best at playing defensive battles, especially positional defense, and there is almost no possibility of being broken through his defensive line, so the army under his command has a very high battle loss rate, and it can also rank in the top three in the entire Void Duchy; Aldolf's style of use of troops was swift and aggressive. He doesn't have a distinctly good fighting style, but he often captures the enemy's weaknesses. It is inevitable that the winner will be defeated in a single battle, as his lightning tactics are best used to attack enemy weak points.

With countless battles fought large and small. Naturally, these three people have also grown into the front-line generals of the Void Principality.

Gaze clockwise.

Standing to Aldolph's left is Dwight.

This young man was originally the head of the guard regiment of the 1st Cavalry Regiment under Reina, but when Rena discovered his command and leadership skills, she proposed to William that he should be in charge of the regiment independently. And after a series of assessments by William, this Captain Dwight has naturally become the leader of a legion now, but the status of this legion is obviously slightly higher than that of Nock, Stalin, and Aldolph, because this is a knight order-Scarlet Knights.

As one of the two knightly orders reported by the Kingdom of Lane today, the Scarlet Knights are stronger than the Holy Roman Knights in Florence. In addition to having high-quality equipment support, it is also related to the individual combat strength of the members of the Scarlet Knights. In a competition with no public records, the Scarlet Knights won a series of knight confrontation competitions, such as individual battles, squad offensive and defensive drills, and group charge operations.

Today's Dwight, although he can't reach the ranks of the first-line generals of the Void Principality, but as the leader of the Scarlet Knights, he is absolutely qualified to participate in the high-level meetings of any Void Principality.

To the left of Dwight are Alfred and Clove.

These two people are not necessarily much weaker in reputation than Sean or William, Hela, and other famous generals.

Whether it was Alfred's thousand-mile journey to Panda in order to join Shaun. Or later the war with the Nugus family, and the war with the army of the Dabiang Kingdom, Alfred and the Thunder Lion under his command are well-deserved lion powerhouses. And as one of the elite legions of the Void Duchy. The fame of the Thunder Lion has obviously fallen into the intelligence investigation and collection of people with intentions early on, and if you want to defeat this lion group, there is only one way. That was to kill Alfred, the leading lion.

And Clov, the corps commander of Cecilia's Guards. The legion he commanded had the highest rate of battle losses in the entire Void Duchy. Now. In many of the intelligence materials collected from the outside world, the evaluation of Clauf and his Cecilia Guards is that "he is very good at attacking tough battles, no matter how difficult the hard bones of the battlefield, he can swallow them thoroughly", so Clov is actually more of a headache and unwilling to meet those Sean's enemies than Alfred and the Thunder Lion.

Sean's gaze slowly swept over Alfred and Clov - these two people, like Sean, arrived in the Void City first through the Magic Array after entering the territory of the Void Duchy, and the legions under their command were still moving towards the Void City. From the looks on the faces of these two people, Sean can know that these two people haven't slept for at least a week.

But at this time, Sean's situation is not much better.

In the past month, Sean has slept less than twenty hours.

As the first to follow Sean, Alfred, seeing the tiredness hidden in Sean's eyes, he couldn't help but be slightly moved.

Sean's gaze didn't linger on Alfred and Clov for too long, and then swept to the right of the conference room.

Hela, Neil, are also here.

For the past six months, Shephaño has gone directly to the Savage Legion to assist Hela in secretly dealing with Myne. And Hela, who has already stripped of Maine's power, has also taken charge of the entire Barbarian Legion after eliminating all the rebels-and in the past six months, Hela has indeed established her own prestige and a series of thunderous means in the Barbarian Legion, although it is still a little unrealistic to immediately let the Barbarian Legion work for Sean and the Void Duchy, but it will not be a problem in the near future.

At this time, such a big thing happened to the Void Duchy, and Hela naturally wanted to rush back.

She just looked at Sean quietly, and the look on her face looked very calm, but Sean, who was already familiar enough with Hela, was very clear that Hela was really angry at this moment. In fact, Hela still has an unknown glimmer of remorse if she hadn't accepted William's kindness in the first place. If Bannock had left with him, maybe there wouldn't have been anything that happened later.

So. Hela's anger is understandable.

Neil standing on one side. The same face looked very calm, but the anger in his eyes was not necessarily weaker than Hela.

The construction and development of the Void Principality, he has invested the greatest effort, and he is even more like the lord and grand duke of the Void Principality than Sean. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine what he thought in his heart when he personally ordered the execution of all those who participated in the riot, regardless of gender, age or child. Naturally, he also knew very well that there would be no outcasts migrating to the Void Duchy for a long time in the future. What a blow to the development of the Void Principality, not to mention the loss of trade and economy caused by this border blockade.

Sean's gaze swept to the side, and it was Shefanio.

Shefanio, who was already at the peak of the lower Sanctuary, looked as indifferent as always, but under this cold aura, there was a heart full of murderous intent. She looked at Sean quietly, but from the look in her eyes, Sean read her determination. The volcanic fury that was about to erupt was probably the strongest of all those present.

Standing next to Shephaño was Abazar.

This man, known as the "steel winged mind", has a look on his face that is not much better than that of Alfred and Clove.

Seeing Sean's gaze looking at him, the Northlander's eyes suddenly moistened. Then tears burst out of my eyes involuntarily. He didn't cry, but this kind of wordless crying made people even more heartbroken and guilty. He just looked at Sean. Then tears kept flowing from his eyes and into the hearts of everyone present. Everyone's face became even more ugly.

The air in the meeting room. It also became more somber.

Sean sighed softly, and finally said his first words since he came to this conference room: "Don't worry, all the blood will not be shed in vain." ”

Everyone's eyes finally became condensed.

Sean, on the other hand, finally turned his gaze to the chair in the middle of the room, where there was a man who had not stood up.

It's not that he doesn't want to stand up, it's that he really has no power, even if it's just to come to this conference room and sit here, it's already a very difficult thing. His pale and bloodless face showed that this man was obviously injured, so he sat here like this, and no one in the conference room felt that anything was wrong.

However, after hearing Sean's first words, the person sitting in the chair also showed a deep look of guilt in his eyes.

He looked up with some difficulty, and then looked at Sean, his lips slightly open, but he didn't know what to say. His blonde hair was dull and even a little messy, and he didn't look much better than Neil, especially since he still had a faint smell of blood, and it was obvious that his injuries had not yet healed.

"It's none of your business, William." Sean spoke calmly, then glanced around at everyone again, motioning for everyone to sit down, "What about Anno's body?" ”

On the way back, Sean had already heard Rena's account of the battle.

Faced with the attack of five shadow assassins, the possibility of William's survival is almost impossible.

The situation was very critical, and a few guards were desperately trying to protect them with no regard for their own safety, only one or two breaths away, but for them it was like a century. However, just one or two breaths of time was enough for the guards to slightly block the attack of the five Golden Realm assassins, and one of them even stopped in front of the three assassins with his body, and was dismembered on the spot.

And Anno, at that time, was the closest to William.

So without hesitation, he pushed William away and used his body to block the front of the Assassins, and the result was that he was stabbed in the heart by an Assassin's dagger on the spot. However, with the strong vitality of the Northland barbarians, Anno did not die on the spot, but instead killed the assassin, and then stopped the other two assassins, buying the most precious time for Rotikabas to rush to the rescue.

It's just that Anno, who was stabbed in the heart with a dagger and had his heart crushed by his fighting spirit, could not survive.

Although all five assassins were killed afterwards, for William, for the entire Iron Wing, for all the Northland barbarians. But it's still a nightmare.

At this point, Sean's words were heard. Shephaño then spoke, "Because you haven't come back yet, you haven't been buried. However, I have frozen it with divine magic and made a crystal coffin, which is now stored in the Church of Winter. ”

Sean nodded slightly, indicating that he knew: "Since I have returned, then I will be buried tomorrow." …… I'll carry the coffin. ”

Hearing Sean's words, everyone present was a little moved.

Only Alfred's expression seemed very calm, because he had long known that Sean would definitely say such a thing. Anno was the second oldest man to follow Sean after him, even before Rena. As the first person to join the inner circle of the Void Principality, Anno has always had no, and he treats everyone very easily. Although he was not very strong and his strategy was not excellent, as the commander of the Iron Wings, he never made a mistake, which was extremely rare for the Northland barbarians, who were always considered stupid and stupid.

Therefore, in the Void Principality, Anno's popularity has always been very good.

And about the person who will carry Anno's coffin this time, there has been a lot of debate.

It's not inappropriate. Instead, there were too many people to carry Anno's coffin.

For example, Alfred, Rena, and Klov, who have been fighting side by side with Anno, as well as Stalin, Aldolph, and Nock who are under Anno's care, Abazar who is of the same race as Anno, and the saint Shefanio, who has a positive attitude towards Anno's faith, and so on.

Characters present. Every one of them in the Void Duchy is a real big man.

Generally speaking, carrying the coffin is a sign of respect for the deceased superior by the lower person, and the same superior person appreciates a subordinate person. It is also categorically impossible to carry the coffin for him personally. And whether it is Shefanio or Alfred, Rena and others, it can also be said that it is because of the brotherhood of his comrades. But even Sean threatened to carry the coffin himself, which was naturally shocking.

And listen to Sean's tone. Obviously, he himself must have taken a place, and this cannot be changed.

Abazar was stunned for a moment, and then immediately spoke: "Thank you...... Thank you...... Thank you, Lord. ”

"I'm not going to let Anno die in vain." Sean said lightly, but in his tone, there was an incomparable domineering.

All along, Sean rarely showed how strong and domineering he was.

He follows some rules to deal with many things, even if some things are handled by himself, but for the sake of his followers, Sean can't just deal with problems based on his own personality preferences like in the game. If he doesn't follow the rules, then his enemies will definitely not follow the rules, and this is naturally not a good thing for him, so Sean has always been patient and played with others within the rules.

But this time, it obviously offended Sean's inner scales.

So this time, Sean wasn't going to talk to those guys about any rules.

The only thing he knew was that Anno's revenge had to be avenged.

"Have you found out who did it?" Sean asked in a deep voice as he looked at Hela and Neil.

In the past few days, even if the pastors of the Life Church have continued to heal William, these people are not saints of the Life Church like Heatley, so even after half a year of recuperation, William's injuries are not all healed, which shows how close William was to death at that time. Therefore, recently, the intelligence work of the entire Void Principality has been in charge of Neil, and it was not until Hela returned after solving the Barbarian Legion some time ago that it was transferred to Hela to be responsible for analysis, command, and collection.

"The current clues, all point to the Marquis de Rohan." Hela handed a report to Sean.

"Marquis de Rohan?" Sean frowned, he hadn't heard anything about the marquis, "What's the matter?" ”

"The strength of the former Dabiang Kingdom, the marquis was in charge of the northwest battlefield at that time, but the loss of combat power was relatively light, and he later surrendered to Lane, and in the subsequent posthumous military achievements, the title and territory were not weakened." Hela explained, "But with the strength of this marquis, I don't think he is capable of doing such a thing......"

"There must be someone behind him." Sean nodded, and then remembered the people from the Crow tribe he met in the Wild Land before, "I guess those guys from the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance must also have intervened, but whether it means one or a few, or whether this is the meaning of those Chamber of Commerce Alliances, I can't be sure for the time being." You let the Void Realm follow this clue and investigate, I don't need any practical evidence, as long as it can be related to the people of the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, I will directly expel them from the Void Principality, and all industries and resources will be confiscated. ”

Hearing Sean's words, everyone's faces once again showed shock.

Because more than a year ago, the relationship between the Void Principality and the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance had just warmed up, and at this moment, Sean was actually going to do it again against the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, how could it not be shocking?

But if Sean's indiscriminate and direct attack on the power and resources of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the territory of the Void Principality only shocked them, then Sean's next words shocked everyone. But after the shock, everyone in the conference room felt a burst of blood boiling, everyone's face flushed, and the anger that had been pent up seemed to have finally found an outlet, gushing out.

"Prepare the Blood Banner." Sean continued to say in a deep voice, "And send a notice letter to all the realm lords we will pass through along the way, so that they can open up military access. I'm not asking for their consent, I'm just asking them to be honest with me, and if they don't know how to behave, then I don't mind stepping on their territory. ”

Blood Flags, war flags that are usually raised only in the event of revenge by blood relatives.

Because as soon as the blood flag is issued, it means that there is real immortality, and only one of the two sides of the war can survive in the end.

"Also, send a letter to the royal family of Lane, the wording can be a little more tactful, but the meaning I want to convey must be accurate." Sean said lightly, "I refuse to negotiate peace, and anyone who tries to interfere in this matter will be an enemy of my Void Principality." …… Since our enemies want a war, then I will give them a war, and I will let them know that the Marquis of Drohan in the face is not enough to appease my anger, and I will uproot all those involved in this matter! (To be continued......)

PS: I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't think of a title that satisfies me. So in the end, the word "Blood Flag" was chosen as the title of this chapter. …… The content that has been laid out for a long time can finally be written in one go, which is really comfortable for me. It's just that this chapter is written, and I also have a hard time, because I deeply feel that my pen power is still not enough to control this kind of big chapter that bursts out in one breath after a long period of foreshadowing. …… I hope that this chapter will not only satisfy me, but also satisfy the judges, so I will have no regrets.
