Three nights later, at the Domingo Estate.

This former winery estate, located only 15 kilometers from Dusk West City, was bought by a group of fleeing Silver Ring nobles last autumn and repainted, becoming a famous "high-end entertainment venue" in the Twilight West Kingdom.

Todd, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the corner of the curtain, looked at the nobles who respectfully accompanied him on both sides of the driveway, and sighed with emotion.

The scene of attending that banquet two years ago seems to be still in front of my eyes. It's just that the eyes and attitude he faced at that time were not as "friendly" as they are today.

"Your Majesty, we are almost there. ”

Huggins' reminder pulled Todd's thoughts back.

Looking at the guards in armor and following on horseback, Todd frowned and asked him, "It's just a banquet, and it's not a battle, is it necessary to fight such a big battle?"

Huggins answered the king's question as he observed his surroundings: "There are far more cantharids hiding in the shadows than moths gathered in the lamplight." ”

Todd smiled and said, "That sounds like an old man's words." ”

Huggins shrugged.

Todd lowered the curtains, remembering the old knight Cumberland's battle plan.

The Knights of the Twilight West are preparing their army, which is expected to march in the direction of the North Stone Fortress the day after tomorrow, and as for the North Island Knights, this force of Valkyries and pirates, has been given the task of attacking the Silver Ring.

At first, Todd didn't understand the attack. The Silver Ring City is home to many barbarian tribes, and the strength of the palace guards and noble private soldiers should not be underestimated. The Knights of the North Island were only 110 men, how could they compete with the army garrisoning the city? He even suspected for a moment that Cumberland was deliberately using the pretext of attacking the Silver Ring City to weaken the power of the North Island, so as to achieve the goal of consolidating the position of the Knights of the Twilight.

But the old knight's subsequent decision completely dispelled Todd's doubts.

Cumberland actually proposed a plan like "he will follow the North Island Knights eastward with his private soldiers, and Huggins will garrison the North Island Fortress instead of himself"!

The commander of the knights' war group actually gave up commanding his own legion and wanted to follow a group of aliens to carry out the mission of sneak attack, this kind of unbelievable behavior, Todd did not understand it at all, and expressed strong opposition.

Cumberland eventually convinced the king with confidence and commitment.

Todd still remembers that conversation vividly.

"Your Majesty, I can't explain to you the plan for the sneak attack right now, but if all goes well, the success rate of this operation is at least sixty percent. 』

"What about the remaining forty percent?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"

"I know, I know!" you said that nitpicking is the worst enemy of a good plan. 』

"If all goes well, our war with the Silver Ring will finally come to an end. 』

War.

Can it really end?

Todd looked at the ceiling on the roof and let out a long sigh.

The carriage slowed down, and after a slight rocking, finally stopped.

"Your Majesty, here we are. ”

The car door was opened, Todd stood up, stepped out of the car door and stepped on the red carpet, he looked up at the manor mansion in the night, and said nothing.

The three leaders who initiated the banquet were two earls of silver rings and a marquis.

The earl, who was standing at the forefront, saw the appearance of the king and wanted to take a few steps closer, but was rudely stopped by the guards.

Todd walked down the red carpet into the mansion, looked at the wide, brightly lit hall and extravagant decorations, and said calmly: "Yes, really good......

The owner of the manor was overjoyed, and just wanted to step forward to introduce one or two, but was frightened by Todd's next words, and hesitated.

"It's much more imposing than the palace in the city that's under construction. ”

The nobles shrank their heads, looked at each other, embarrassed and speechless.

Ignoring the expressions of the crowd, Todd walked into the main hall of the banquet, surrounded by the guards.

The famous wine and delicacies are dazzling, and the noble lady is a golden warbler and a verdant warbler.

The arrival of the king silenced the whole banquet hall, the nobles stopped talking, the musicians stopped playing, and everyone looked at the protagonist of the banquet tonight, waiting and watching with anxiety.

Todd walked to the upper seat at the top of the hall, sat down slowly, looked at the thousands of square meters of space, glanced at Huggins beside him, smiled and said a word.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of the Twilight. 』

The crowd began with a relaxed gasp, followed by cheers that toppled the roof, and finally a scramble to recommend themselves.

"Your Majesty, I am the Marquis of Howells, and I donated money to build a lighthouse in Twilight City last month......"

"Your Majesty, I'm Baron Zakalarias, and I'm with my daughter, Andreine, also known as the ......Flower of Loa."

Unlike the bustling "pomp" in front of the seats in the hall, in the corner of the banquet hall, there were still some people who stayed there and did not choose to come forward.

Some of them were of low rank and fame, and they were not favored by the king, some were arrogant and looked down on the new kingdom from the bottom of their hearts, and some were ...... is more special.

The red wine shook gently in the glass, reflecting the faint halo of the candle, and the "Viscount of Zanggna", who was wearing a thick coat, looked at the king at the other end and smiled slightly.

Beside him, a girl in a princess gown uses an almost brutal eating appearance to destroy the food on a plate as high as a mountain.

Looking at the people not far away, pointing at the girl, and whispering something, "Viscount Zangner" coughed: "Nancy, pay attention to your demeanor." ”

Nancy didn't respond.

"Viscount Zangna" shook his head helplessly and lowered his voice: "Sabrina!"

The girl glanced at the speaker and snorted angrily, "Grand Elder Lawrence, don't you think that you are even more suspicious than me in this thick coat in the warm spring?!"

Clorence touched his chubby face, "I don't want to do this either, the 'Face Change' ability can only allow me to change my appearance, but I can't change my body shape." Also, I've said many times that in public, you should call me 'Father'. ”

Sabrina threw a contemptuous look at the other party: "I'm twice your age, why don't you call me 'grandmother'?"

Lawrence sighed and said no more.

Sabrina shoved the last piece of roast goose into her mouth, threw the fork on the table, wiped her greasy lips with a tablecloth, and burped a long full time: "I'm done, let's do it!"

Crorence's head shook his head and smiled, "No, now is not the time. ”

"Why?!You came up with the idea to control the King of Twilight, and now you don't want to do it?!"

Claurence's eyes motioned to Sabrina to look into the hall: "I just took a turn, and according to the 'Perception' ability, there are at least twenty 'Inheritors' staying by the King's side, and now I am killing myself to do it." ”

"Could it be that the rumors of the 'inheritors' of the Twilight Kingdom are true?!" Sabrina patted her stomach: "You should know my abilities, and I won't pay attention to those 'inheritors' at all." ”

Cralorence took a sip of red wine, frowned again and put the glass down: "I know." But I'm very interested in Todd Fischer as a man, and think about it, isn't it worth exploring that a farmer's child has built a kingdom in just two years?"
