Roger, an apprentice magician, hid Prince Sauron and his party in the staff dormitory of the monastery, because the elite troops who went to support the East China Sea Fortress were wiped out, so no one would come back to the room here, and several people were okay on the way to escape, and found a place to live to fill their stomachs, and the feeling of exhaustion and previous injuries emerged together.

Prince Sauron didn't dare to let Roger prepare too many things, because to rebuild the monastery, except for some basic people left behind, the rest of the people who came and went were craftsmen from the royal capital, and it was difficult to ensure that there were no enemy spies here. So just let Roger prepare the food.

This rest was three days, and he was still a little skeptical of Roger's words, but now he was fully convinced that it was impossible for Abbot Teemo not to come to such a big thing as the rebuilding of the abbey. And in the past three days, the news brought back by Roger has made Sauron more and more worried, the whole king is like crazy, the nobles are in the same party, everyone who is close to the grand duke is targeted, and several families who are related to it have even been exterminated.

Hearing that this was ordered by Prince Heron and the Green Earl led people to carry it out, Prince Sauron said hatefully: "I'm too anxious, this is someone instigating and provoking." ”

That night, Roger returned from the city again and came to the place where several people lived: "Now that the royal capital has officially announced the crusade against the Grand Duke, I have heard that local nobles have attacked the Grand Duke's fief. ”

Prince Sauron hurriedly asked, "What about the other nobles in the royal capital?"

Roger said: "It's still waiting, but I don't support the royal family's approach as a whole." ”

Prince Sauron stood up angrily: "The Green Earl has failed to live up to his father's entrustment, and he wants to pull this kingdom into the abyss. ”

In Suran Island, the nobles are not without grudges, they can attack each other, and it is not impossible to destroy a family at the worst time, but one thing is very important, that is, private property, including fiefdoms, cannot be occupied at will, and the ownerless territory without an heir must also be discussed and decided by the king and the great nobles, even if it is state-owned. But it just can't be who lays it down. In this way, it will become a melee between the nobles and the armed division.

Therefore, the laws of Suran Island clearly stipulate that the remaining territory after the war shall not be owned by the victorious side, which greatly reduces the risk of extermination, because it is not worth it to destroy a nobleman, but he cannot own land.

Once this rule is broken, the rule of the entire kingdom will also collapse, and for the royal family, this is a more serious crisis than the invasion of orcs and the awakening of monsters.

Prince Sauron said, "I must go to the palace at once. ”

Mia asked, "But we can't even get in with the king." ”

Roger escaped with a piece of paper: "I have a way, I have been studying the way into the palace for the past three days, you see......"

Spread out on the table, since they had gathered around, Prince Sauron wondered, "What is this ......?"

"Underground drainage channels throughout the royal capital. ”

Ziyun was surprised: "How did you find it?"

Roger shrugged: "I have to say that the library in the palace does have a lot of good things, but it lacks the eye to discover." ”

Prince Sauron became vigilant, it seemed that he had indeed been too negligent in his precautions before, but it was precisely because of this that he had created an opportunity for himself, and it was a matter of the future to remedy this loophole, and the top priority was to save the whole situation: "This map is too chaotic, and it is different from the layout of the royal capital. ”

"Of course, these passages were originally used as underground bunkers and cemeteries, hundreds of years ago monsters were rampant, orcs were rampant, this was originally just a small city, and some underground passages were dug for defense, with the development of the country and the expansion of the royal capital, the original defensive tunnels have also become drainage systems, some places are newly dug, some places are rebuilt, and the underground and above-ground structures are different, so it is difficult to take the scene on the ground as a reference. ”

Hearing Roger say this, Prince Sauron nodded, and Ziyun said, "Then can you tell this map?"

"I don't dare to say everything, but I have studied a little, at least I can take you into the palace, what do you think?"

Prince Sauron pondered for a while: "Let's enter the palace tomorrow night, how far in advance?"

Roger thought for a moment: "In order to avoid the living, I chose to go to the outfall, but it is a little far from the king's capital, and if you want to arrive at night, you can enter in the last afternoon." ”

Prince Sauron nodded: "This time I still need to rely on everyone's strength, and it is also the last time, all my hopes lie here, there are still my attendants and some guards in the palace, first go to my residence to call all the people, take advantage of the second half of the night to raid, and control my brother in one fell swoop, oh, by the way, do they also live in the palace?"

Roger replied: "Yes, he has been in charge of the royal palace since the departure of the Grand Duke's army, and only a few times did he go out to meet with other great nobles, and Prince Heron should be in his residence, and he rarely has the opportunity to show up. ”

Prince Sauron said hatefully: "Sure enough, my brother has become his puppet, and he can't let them continue to behave in a bad way." ”

Ziyun said: "It's okay anyway, anyway, let's end it quickly, right." "Ji Ya and Haole don't care, it's not too much trouble to help friends.

Mia has always supported Prince Sauron: "Your Highness, I will do my best to help you defeat all the rebels. ”

Since the time has been discussed, we will set off tomorrow morning and enter the underground water channel of the royal capital through the sewage outlet in the afternoon.

......

In the East China Sea Fortress, the Great Swordsman faced his student, Grand Duke Wald, who had expected that his student would go to the opposite side of the royal family, and he came out this time to spy on him.

But now Grand Duke Wald was furious, and the royal capital officially declared him a traitor, and ordered the local nobles to attack his fiefdom. And his crime is collusion with monsters, and the great swordsman knows that this is forced on the grand duke, just like Prince Sauron said, the people in the palace are too anxious. The use of such a crime that does not stand up to scrutiny and lacks evidence is not in itself a big deal. If the power of the royal family is strong, others can also listen to it seriously, but the power of the royal family is obviously at a disadvantage, and in order to encourage the local nobles to become helpers, they also promised such a ridiculous order that whoever captures the Grand Duke's territory will be counted.

The Great Swordsman was extremely disappointed with the royal family's approach, after the death of the king and the eldest prince, Prince Heron became the legitimate heir, and the Green Earl, who assisted him, was not very old, and the impulsive young man was a little careless in order to grasp the power, is it really good for the country to continue like this?

The political purge of the royal capital and the siege of nobles everywhere completely angered Wald, a few days ago he received the bad news that Yi Ke Sai was killed, although he was angry that he did not act according to his instructions, but after all, he was a confidant for many years, Yi Ke Saio's death made him full of anger and had no way to vent, and he was trying to find a reason to make trouble, the royal family's actions were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, he found the great sword master to explain everything, the royal family has forced the students to a dead end, teacher, you teach me what to do!?

The Great Swordsman understood that Wald was forcing him to make a statement, and it was not his expectation to become a traitor, but the royal family's performance was really bad, and he really got rid of the Grand Duke. Young king, young auxiliary, the future of this country......

The Great Swordsman asked rhetorically, "If you leave, what will happen to the battle here?" Although the orc tide has weakened, it is not over after all. ”

Wald naturally understood what the Great Sword Master meant, but still asked, "Then ...... you mean, teacher?"

The Great Sword Master took a deep breath: "Leave me some troops, I'll stop the orcs, as for what do you want to do...... Just do it, I just want to say that if you can, kill fewer people. ”

Wald nodded, the great swordsman didn't want to get involved in politics, he just wanted to contribute to the country, and the students respected the teacher, so he decided to leave behind the knights and adventurers who came to support from all over the country plus two thousand militiamen. During this period of time, due to the urgency of the East China Sea and the appeal of the Great Sword Master, many people gathered here one after another, and left with the main force, leaving nearly 5,000 people for the Great Sword Master, with his strength and the fact that the orc tide has weakened, it should not be a problem to complete the blockade, and it can be regarded as solving the Great Duke's worries.

Wald planned to lead his 3,000 Tieliu swordsmen and 3,000 militia to attack the royal capital tomorrow, and ordered his local forces to attack the royal capital to help him become king.

......

"This is the sewage outlet of the royal capital? I didn't expect it to be so far away from the royal capital. Prince Sauron, Roger, Mia, and Sanxiao set out early in the morning, and came to a forest as fast as they could, and at last found a cave that was more than a foot high, from which a murky trickle flowed, and the entrance of the cave was not to be seen, and there was a slight unpleasant smell.

A few people rode horses for half an hour, and it was indeed a little far from the royal capital, but it was really a good place to avoid people's eyes.

"This is the farthest outfall from the royal capital, and the sewage comes out of here and joins the river in the forest and flows to the sea," Roger said. ”

Prince Sauron nodded, "Let's go inside." ”

A few people wanted to light torches, but Roger stopped them, and instead lit the magic lamp, Roger said: "The space here is too narrow, try not to use open flames, everyone is ready, there is still a long way to go." ”
