509 Dark Aristocrats
Murhausk in the north of Vecchia,
Molhausk under the heavy snow is very beautiful, large snowflakes are like messy catkins in the wind, floating on the surrounding ground, making a sound of heavenly sounds, and the mountains in the distance are like a white dragon, as if kneeling down to the king, lying quietly on the right side of a carriage moving at a constant speed,
"Where did you get this news?"
In the carriage, Berlant Bonnie put down the letter in her hand with a solemn expression, and looked at the fat man opposite who was watching the snow scene from afar, as if she had just been poured a glass of spirits, her cheeks flushed by the cold wind were seductively flushed, and her eyes were shining with flames
In the half month of following the fat man, she has seen too many magics, from the secret layout of the battle of the South China Sea to the ingenious response to the snowstorm in the northern grassland, the fat man is like a skilled helmsman, always able to drive the battleship of Vekia, galloping freely in the turbulent situation on the mainland,
From the construction of a new base in the West Sea in the south, to the tens of thousands of Vekian troops, the covert movement of the Green Corridor in the north, and even the information in the city of Tulga, it is being delivered at a frequency of once a day.
In this seemingly inconspicuous black carriage, under the slowly turning ruts, every decision is no less than commanding a huge battle, half a month, it has been more brutal than the qiē battle she had seen in the first half of her life, how many seemingly meaningless practices, but in the mind of the obscene fat man beside her, it turned into a series of eye-catching clever layouts, and the fate of hundreds of thousands, even millions of lives, was flipped in this pair of fat hands that looked full of flesh
"The outcome of the war was determined long before the war began, and we just let it go on the course we predetermined"
This is a famous quote hanging high in the temple of the supreme command of the Paraven War, on the gate of strategy, that is, when the Ikadivar Empire, a thousand-year-old dynasty, collapsed, starting from a small city called Ryrdian, and laid down the founding king of the great Ryrdian Kingdom, Habenis Caesar the Great
Every cadet of the Paraven Command Department, starting from his first day in the academy, the first thing he got up in the morning was to stand in front of the gate inscribed with this sentence and chant ten words loudly,
"You will be the backbone of my Rui Erdian's future, behind the gate, is the highest hall of the academy, whether you are qualified to enter it, it depends on your understanding of this sentence"
Bonnie still remembers the president of the Paraven Academy, the supreme King Haraus, wearing the most solemn ceremonial armor, with a solemn expression on his face at the opening ceremony, according to the words of the academy teachers, this mysterious and mysterious sentence is the greatest wealth left by Habannice Caesar the Great to the Paraven Academy, it is the starting point and end point of the academy's research, and it is also the cornerstone of countless famous generals in the hundreds of years since the founding of the country
It is his father, standing at the gate engraved with this famous saying, and he also stopped for a long time with a dignified face, staring at this sentence for a long time, as if there is a kind of magic in this sentence that is difficult to understand.
I've seen too much, I've been numb, and I've already been thrown out of the clouds by Bonnie for the plan to surpass the fat man, "Compared with such a rare freak for a thousand years, I can't do it" Bonnie often uses this sentence to comfort her battered heart,
But this time the information still shocked her.
Marquis Dalewilliam, the military minister of Raldian, the famous leader of the nobles of the kingdom, went so far as to follow the example of the smuggler who smuggled across the border, and took a shortcut from the edge of Molhausk to the city of Amira in the north of Raldian, and signed a disgraceful treaty with the Kugits who were waiting there to cede the three northern counties.
"It's really disgusting that such a person was once the spiritual leader of the aristocracy"
Berlant Bonnie almost threw the information on the coffee table, although she no longer regarded herself as a Raldian, but this explosive information still made Berlant Bonnie, who had been trained in chivalry since childhood, feel righteous indignation
"Even if you can't see it, don't treat this information like this" The fat man on the other side rolled his eyes, and gently put the information on the coffee table into the box behind the car door, "This is what the front-line intelligence officers exchanged for with blood, for this reason, I still owe 10,000 gold coins to the assassination fee, they sacrificed a reserve that has been hidden for many years this time"
"I'm sorry, I was too reckless"
Hearing that someone had paid with their lives because of this information, Berrant Bonnie's face flushed slightly,
Half a month is enough for her to deeply understand what it means to be with light and dust, and what is the darkness in the light, and the competition is not only on the battlefield, compared with the tragic battlefield full of corpses, the blood in the dark is more shocking
"Valuable things are always accompanied by sacrifices, all we can do is to make their sacrifices worthy of the value of intelligence" The fat man glanced at her lightly, still turned his eyes to the window and said, "Actually, I'm curious, this time I came to Morhaus, just to meet this walker in the dark for a while, if possible, I hope this walker can stop his footsteps and return to Ruirdian, because there are too many people who don't want him to set foot on the land of Amira."
"Walker in the Dark?" Bonnie frowned slightly, thinking of the blood and insult on this information, the corners of her mouth disdainfully said, "This kind of traitor who only wags his tail and begs for mercy to the enemy, only deserves to be swallowed up by the darkness forever, he will only insult the name of the Walker, if it were me, I would definitely let him stay on the land of Vekia forever"
"Hehe, you're really extreme" The fat man turned his head and withdrew his gaze from the window, looking at the indignant beautiful female knight opposite, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "To be honest, I am surprised by your talent in some aspects, I finally know Duke Berrant now, why should you be a rare female knight, not an ordinary noble girl, because your blood is still permeated with the blood of the dark nobles, and only with the knight's creed can your mind be restrained"
"What do you mean by that?" Berlant Bonnie raised her head in surprise, hearing the fat man mention this, she also found that she seemed to have deviated more and more from the original knight's creed in the past half a month, and even in the depths of her heart, there was an irrepressible impulse and excitement for some dark things, which was a release of nature, and every time she came into contact with these, it was a pleasant feeling
Just like in Ebelon, when I discovered those virtuous spies, the first thing that came to mind was to make these people disappear forever, even by the most despicable assassination
"It's nothing" The fat man shook his head in distress, rubbed his slightly swollen head with his hand, and muttered to himself
"Distressed, a good female knight of light, why did she become a royal sister who is inclined to darkness under her own inducement?
Now he understands a little bit of Duke Berrant's painstaking efforts to ask Berrant Bonnie to return to China before he died, this is a born dark person, if he is full of resentment towards the whole world, no one knows how terrible the consequences will be, with the reputation of the Berrant family and Bonnie's influence in the knightly class, once he retaliates without scruples, it will inevitably be a bloody storm, and when the time comes, not only will the Berlant family be finished, but I am afraid that even Bonnie himself will not be able to survive.
"That guy wouldn't have guessed that he would meet her daughter," the fat man almost jumped in fright at the strange thought in his mind, but quickly calmed down and cursed secretly, "How is it possible"
"What do you mean by saying that I have dark noble blood in my body?"
"Ever heard of the thousand-year-old empire of Ikadiva?"
The fat man looked at Bonnie and said with a solemn expression, "The dark aristocracy is a secret organization in the era of Ikadiva, when the Ikadiwa Empire was divided in the case of internal and external troubles, some of the high aristocratic class located in the imperial capital of Parabun, in order to protect the interests of the Ikadiva people, secretly formed this organization,
Their creed is that the power of the nobility comes from duty,
They are not loyal to any king or dynasty, they are only loyal to their own country and people, because they can never be protected by the king, so they are called the dark nobles and the walkers in the dark"
The fat man's voice paused, and he glanced strangely at Bonnie, who was listening intently, and continued
"The Minister of War we are about to meet is such a dark nobleman, and your father, who was also one of them, codenamed Dark Lane, specializes in assassinating any target that blocks the dark nobles,
It's a pity that your father, in his last act of the year, chose to be loyal to the king, which also caused the dark nobles to suffer a heavy blow, and it is only now that they have the opportunity to climb back into an important position of power."
"How do you know this" Berrant Bonnie's face turned slightly pale, and her flickering eyes were full of memories, and it was obvious that the fat man's words touched her heart,
She had heard some rumors about Duke Berrant being a traitor back then, which was also the reason why Duke Berrant was still not recognized by most of the aristocracy despite his grand reputation, and Berrant Bonnie always thought that it was because her father was born in Vekia, and she offended many people by leading the army all year round, but now that she looks at it, it seems that it is not the case at all, and behind his once glorious father, there seems to be a layer of things that cannot be seen through
"This is a secret assassination to me," the fat man replied with a complicated expression, "Do you remember what happened last winter? One of the reasons why I led the army to Rui Erdian was that I was entrusted by the assassin to bring a killer into Rui Erdian, and the target was your father, but unfortunately we were a little unhappy that time, and I temporarily returned to China so that the assassination had to be canceled."
