Chapter 616: The Lone Lamp Man

Wald listened to his henchman's subordinate Captain Yi Ke Seo report on the situation in the city, as the existence of ten thousand people under one person on Suran Island, Wald's ears and eyes are all over the entire royal capital, and it is naturally necessary to listen to his subordinates' reports every day.

As an absolute confidant, Yi Ke Sai persuaded after briefly explaining the good news and the reaction of the people in the city: "My lord, that naïve prince has also begun to establish his prestige, and after this time, I am afraid that he will have more power." "If the prince had made a martial order, the king would naturally have a reason to put the army, or part of it, in the hands of the prince, which of course would be detrimental to Wald.

Wald smiled and said, "Normal operation, nothing to make a fuss about." ”

Captain Yi Ke Seo hurriedly said: "But now this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, my lord, the entire king is already under our control, if the king is gone......"

"Don't even think about it. Wald interrupted him, "Why don't you want to think that Calivan would rather bring the City Guard than recruit the Iron Swordsmen from me?" The Iron Flow Swordsmen are Wald's armed forces, and they are also the most elite troops in the military composition of Suran Island.

Wald stood up and walked to the window: "Don't you think it's a good opportunity?"

Of course, the captain of Yi Ke Saio knew, so he persuaded him just now, but as a confidant, of course he understood that Wald said this and the following, so he responded: "Yes, is there anything wrong with this? ”

"Hey, the opportunity is a good opportunity, it's just too good, so it's a bit fake, do you think Coolman is just trying to build momentum for his eldest son, and then pull his entire net worth to the front line? Maybe he deliberately left me a good situation, and then waited for me to do it. ”

Captain Yi Ke Sai said, "But there is no strength in the royal capital to contain us, and with the Green Earl and the three thousand miscellaneous fish, I really can't see anything wrong." ”

"What if you add the Ironforge and the Abbey? ”

"This ......" Captain Yi Ke Seo remembered that there were still two more people, but these two people were not political figures, but they had extraordinary influence, but in his opinion, these two people should not be involved in such a thing as changing the dynasty, but Grand Duke Wald couldn't afford to gamble, he had to take it step by step, not a sentence of 'I don't think they could do it' and really unscrupulously think that it was okay.

Grand Duke Wald said: "Okay, don't talk about such a topic anymore, now in the royal capital, our power can be said to be a dominant family, but the more this happens, the more careful we must be, don't sail safely in the stormy seas, but sink the ship on the dock." ”

"Yes. ”

After Captain Ikeseo left, Wald hesitated for a while, although he said so to others, but now this opportunity is so good, even if it is a poisonous cake, Wald can't help but want to swallow it in one bite. But Ironforge and the Abbey are something to be wary of.

Ironforge is a castle known throughout the island, and it is not the fief of a nobleman, but is ruled by a powerful man who was made a great swordsman by the previous kings. And Ironforge Castle has also become a holy place for swordsmen all over the island, and countless students seek it every year, and even many noble children go to study. If you look at it from the perspective of Da Zhou, it is okay for the Iron Furnace Fort to be called the Iron Furnace Sword Sect, but compared to the sect, he is still more like the academy.

The monastery is the magic center of the whole island, gathering almost all the powerful mages in the country, and Abbot Forrest Gump is also recognized as the first monk in the country. However, in addition to this monastery, there is also a branch in the south, which is smaller in scale, led by Abbot Forrest Gump's younger brother, Dean Teemo. So these two monasteries are also known as the North and South schools of magic.

As the pinnacle of kendo and magic, the Great Sword Master and Dean Forrest Gump are not only powerful, but also full of students, and although they have not made any obvious moves to participate in politics for decades, it is indeed difficult to tell if Wald carries out a coup d'état. Rather than being an enemy, let's not talk about whether we can fight or not, even if we can win, it will be very troublesome to clean up the aftermath.

Thinking of this, he got up and pulled the bookshelf in the study, and a secret passage appeared in front of him. Walking through a long, dark passageway, he came to a basement surrounded by only the faint light of fire and the dry remains that filled the holes in the walls, a forbidden place under the royal capital...... Underground graveyards.

Wald opened a dilapidated wooden door, and behind the door was a large room, filled with many books, documents and strange objects, and a black-robed man looked at something in the dim light, and his one-piece coat and hat wrapped it very tightly. There seemed to be little reaction to Wald's arrival.

The man said, "You're here again?"

Wald said in a deep voice: "Lone Lamp Man, I want to make sure to you, is it really foolproof?"

The lonely lamp man smiled: "Such a lack of self-confidence is really not like you." ”

"When I think of what happened next, I really don't know the bottom of my heart, you know me, I won't pin my hopes on nothing, I need to get a positive answer. ”

The lonely lamp man put down the things in his hand: "Oh? Then what are you worried about? Haven't you seen that person, and you have personally tested his strength, besides, he is from the Zhou Kingdom, and he will not leave any tail for people to catch." After you succeed, as long as you don't take advantage of the merits and continue to support the little prince to ascend to the throne, the entire Suran Island will be yours in less than three years. ”

"And is the big beast tide you are talking about really coming?" asked Wald. This is what he really cares about, the big beast tide is the large-scale landing of kobolds, which is a disaster for the whole country, no matter what the king is planning now, at that time all the forces must be suppressed, if the forces of the orcs and the king can be defeated, or even die together, it is naturally better, plus the arranged Zhou people, Wald is sure to clean up most of the power of the royal family, as for the nobles newly promoted by the king in the royal capital, as long as they do not die and immediately change the dynasty, they can't do anything. Put the little prince on the throne first, and then firmly grasp the power to exclude dissidents, and all the influences can be eliminated within three years.

The lonely lamp man said: "Don't worry about this, I have already made a detailed prediction, there will be a big beast tide this year, compare the time period of the ocean current with the red line of the orc's population over the years......"

"I'm sorry, can I just say the conclusion?" Wald interrupted the Lone Lamp, and every time he chatted with him, he would always put forward a lot of data that he didn't understand, which made the only Grand Duke in the kingdom feel ignorant.

"In less than two days, more than 2,000 beasts will make landfall. Listening to the words of the lone lamp man, Wald's expression was tangled. If it is more than two thousand, of course, it is not a lot, and there are more than three thousand of his own iron flow swordsmen. But the other party is an orc, if it is calculated according to ten to one, to deal with more than two thousand beast tides, and 20,000 soldiers, this is already the entire military strength of the entire royal family.

So Wald didn't know what to say, of course he was happy, as long as the beast tide was big enough, his plan could be implemented, but there were also entanglements, after all, the orcs were a threat to the whole island, not only the royal family, but also his own throne had to be faced, in case these orcs raged, I am afraid that no one wants to see the disaster.

"......What if," Wald thought for a moment, and then asked, "I mean, if Coolivan can't stop these orcs, do you have a way to destroy them?"

The lonely lamp man was silent: "If it was before, I would have no fear, but now that my strength has gone to seventy-seven eighty-eight, it would be good to be able to protect myself, and it is basically impossible to eliminate them." But you don't have to worry too much, there are already 15,000 people in the East China Sea Fortress at the moment, and there will be people in the past two days, and when the big war starts, it is not surprising that there are more than 20,000 troops, even if you can't stop it in the end, the number of orcs rushing out is limited, you can justifiably annex the remaining city guards in the royal capital, plus your Iron Flow Swordsman, you may not be able to be a hero who resists the orcs, in order to be safe, you can also notify the Iron Fort and the Monastery, maybe they will acquiesce to your superiority for the sake of seeing you lead the army to defend the country。 ”

Wald nodded, how could he not know these clichés? Whether he is or King Cooleven, they both want to destroy each other while paying the least, so they can't miss every step.

"Well, if all the plans can succeed, I will make history repeat itself as agreed. With that, Wald left.

......

Outside the royal capital, in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a beautiful manor house is erected in the mountains, which is the monastery of the magical sanctuary of the entire island of Sulan.

Because of the invasion of the orcs, whether it is the cradle of the swordsman, the Ironforge Fort, or the mage's hometown monastery, a large number of men have been sent to participate in the battle. Nowadays, not only the teachers have left, but also many of the senior students have gone to the entire monastery, and it is not an exaggeration to say that only some of the old and weak are left.

Due to the departure of teachers and senior seniors, the entire monastery was suspended, and the junior students were mostly self-studying.

In Suran Island, the Magic Monks are divided into nine stars, and one to three stars are also apprenticeships, and one star is added for each year of enrollment. Four to six stars are called magicians, and after three stars, as long as they pass the graduation exam, they will be four-star, and they can only be upgraded if they continue to take the exam, so many students will choose to stay for further study after graduation. The seven-star and eight-star ones can be called magicians, and they can be honored as professors in the monastery.

The nine stars of the highest rank were not given by the king, but by the king, and only the abbots of the two monasteries in the north and south of the entire island of Suran were honored by this.

Roger is a two-star magic apprentice, and this year is his third year of school, with two golden stars pinned to his chest. Although the whole teaching progress was halted because of the war, but because of this, he was fortunate to be able to receive the personal guidance of Dean Forrest Gump.

An old man in a blue robe with a white beard and white hair smiled: "Don't worry, my child, try to relax." "Dean Forrest Gump is like an uncle next door on the surface, and even the nine gold stars on his chest, which represent the highest honor of a mage, are blocked by the big white beard.

Because a high level of tension will cause the spell to fail, and the more times it fails, the more irritating it will be, which is not conducive to casting spells and will enter a vicious circle.

Roger has been cultivating for three years, and his grades can't be considered bad, but he always wants to realize better. Dean Forrest Gump understands this excellent young man very well, but some things are not achieved overnight and need to be accumulated slowly.

At this moment, a middle-aged female teacher came over: "Dean, Wang Du has sent a messenger, saying that there is an important report. ”

Dean Forrest Gump nodded and said, "Okay, ask him to come to my study and wait for me, Roger, let's get here here today, don't be too yourself, let's go rest first." ”

Roger said, "I'd like to look into it." ”

"Okay, kid, you're tired today, don't do that, you can continue tomorrow, go back. ”

Leaving Roger, Dean Forrest Gump came directly to the study, the envoy of the royal capital was a young man, and he was the same one who sent the king's secret letter last time, he said directly: "Dean, something happened, Wald seems to have found a master from the Zhou Kingdom, ready to be unfavorable to the king." This is a letter addressed to you by His Excellency the Green Earl. ”

Dean Forrest Gump frowned and took the letter, to be honest, he didn't want to get involved in politics, but the royal family had ruled for five hundred years, and if people usurped the throne like this and caused turmoil, as a member of the country, he didn't want to see it. Therefore, the king had given him a secret letter asking for help before, and he believed that the great swordsman of Ironforge Castle also had it, so he could only make a promise first. However, at the time when the orcs were invading the country, if Wald really dared to cause a civil war at this time, he would definitely intervene.

However, Dean Forrest Gump didn't expect that Wald would collude with foreigners, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a place where strong people come out, and his own cultivation is nothing there, so even if it is just an ordinary master, Dean Forrest Gump must be extremely cautious.

Seeing that the letter was written by the Green Earl in the royal city, pressing the royal family tattoo seal, the content was probably three points, one was the preliminary success of the East China Sea Fortress, and then Wald seemed to have moved in the royal capital, and finally it was the intelligence of the master of the Zhou State, although there was no evidence, but the Green Earl guessed that it was to be unfavorable to the king, and he had notified the great swordsman that he wanted the great swordsman to protect the king, and let the dean Forrest Gump sit in the royal capital to avoid a situation.

I have to say that the Green Earl's words and worries are reasonable, Dean Forrest Gump naturally understands that since he colluded with outsiders and ignored the national disaster, this Walder really did not have the appearance of a master, and in an instant, Dean Forrest Gump decided to become a royalist.

Just as he was about to ask for details, his fingers suddenly tingled, and he shook off the letter to see that his fingertips had become jet black, and the letter was poisonous!?
