Even with Hydes' help, it would take the elves about two weeks to reach the capital of the United Kingdom - and that's if they didn't get lost. However, Hydes can help them catch fish and collect seaweed for food, and can spit fire to distill seawater, which is enough to last the entire return journey even if Feige doesn't send them supplies. So Fitch returned to the city of Port Tawu first, and met with the king to report the matter to him.

Andrew agrees with the elves to dock and cross the border to Minas Ihir. In fact, the United Kingdom of Hoya Nobles and Elven Island have reached an agreement that the United Kingdom will allow the Elves to land as long as their destination is Minas Ihir.

"Elves don't matter, but this Hydes is interesting. Andrew rang the bell on the table beside him, and a messenger came in. "The Imperial Council, let Viscount Conscuff and Baron Goode come over. ”

Viscount Conscuff is the kingdom's engineering construction consultant, whether it is new construction or maintenance, as long as the king orders him to do it. This is a strange but very serious old man with a red beard, who is kind to craftsmen and laborers, but often blows his beard and glares at knights, generals, and kings. In his eyes, there seemed to be only two classifications: builders and destroyers.

Because the construction of the king's new castle was in full swing, he spent most of his time on the construction site, and Feige only had a relationship with him. At that meeting he offered to plant potatoes and build roads, so Viscount Conscuff smiled at him and seemed very satisfied. However, it is said that at the King's Celebration Athletic Tournament, when he saw Feige's fighting (destruction) power, he turned blue and did not smile at all.

"Is this meeting going to tear things down or to build things?" Viscount Conscuff patted the red beard on his chest, and a handful of sand and dust spread out in the small room of the Imperial Council. Feige lifted his staff, and a moist breeze blew, and the viscount, who had just returned from the construction site, was refreshed.

"Thank you, Lord Feige. He tilted his head and glanced at Baron Goode, "Let me guess, this time it must cost money, and that is to build something?"

"Exactly. A multi-headed sea dragon needs to be given a berth to come to Tawu Harbor City. The guy is more than 100 meters long and currently has four heads. It's likely that there will be more heads and bigger bodies after a while. Feige used illusion to simulate Hydes's appearance in front of everyone's eyes, and said: "This guy eats grass, kelp and seaweed can make him live well, and he can find food himself, so this doesn't need to worry too much." In addition to a dock where you can sleep quietly, prepare some wine for him. ”

"Wait a minute, are we building a zoo for the king?"

"No, this is the scout sent by the angels of the Goddess Divine Kingdom to find and help us guard the Terrasquet Behemoth—the one that destroyed the city of Tawu Harbor on the night of the Scarlet Meteor. "Hydes has the intelligence to communicate directly," Feige said. He's not a monster, but like a mischievous, talkative lad. With him in the city, the threat of the Behemoth can be greatly reduced. ”

"I thought the Knights of Hell would be able to defeat the Behemoths......" Viscount said lightly, then turned to Andrew: "Your Majesty, there are still some berths in the dock area of Tawu Harbor City, but they are neither clean nor quiet, and I am afraid they cannot be used for Hydes to rest." The best location is the small pier on the north side of the original castle, where your private pier is currently moored for pleasure boats......"

"Okay, there it is. Andrew nodded: "I'm not interested in sightseeing, so I'll arrange Hydes there." If you need to renovate a dredging, there is also a viscount in charge. In addition to this matter, Feige has some suggestions for the construction of the palace that is currently underway. ”

"The current defenses are useless against a behemoth like the Scarlet Meteor. Feige said bluntly: "I looked at the design drawings, and those complex corners and restrictive structures will not let the giant beast turn or be restrained at all, but only increase the difficulty of construction." I'd suggest stopping these outfits and leaving a few platforms and a normal turret for me. ”

Viscount Constance raised his voice suddenly: "These designs are useless, these designs are the best castle builders, they are put forward by those who have experienced sieges and sieges, built, maintained and destroyed castles with their own hands, we have used the strongest building materials and the most reasonable construction methods, why do you say that they are useless?"

"It can't even stop me. Feige's voice was still calm, and he explained to the viscount, "The enemy we are facing is not a thousand troops spread out, but a monster that gathers the power of thousands of troops in one point. The scale of the battle between the nobles is equivalent to slamming with a shield, and the monsters we may encounter are like converging the power of dozens or hundreds of shield slams onto an awl. IMHO, no matter how good an armor craftsman can do at this time. ”

"Nonsense! Gather power into one person?How to gather it?" Viscount Conscuff shook his head: "That monster is only big, take two hundred pound......s of flesh from it, I don't think it can beat a knight!"

"If you want to take two hundred pounds of meat from it, maybe two thousand soldiers can't do it, so that piece of meat can indeed win a knight's battle. Feige waved his hand: "The matter now is very simple, these unnecessary and complicated constructions must be stopped, and the pressure on the king's treasury must be reduced to promote potatoes, build roads, and build farmland and water conservancy." ”

"Let the king and queen live in a castle without adequate protection? No, it would be a remiss on my part, on the part of all the nobles. What happened to Aria cannot be repeated, and I do not agree to stop these important works!" Viscount Conscuff pointed at Feige: "You say that these protective measures will not stop you, because they will not stop you at all!

"I've seen larger, more terrifying battles than that, so it's useless to say that you're designing like that. ”

"More terrifying? Don't you just show your feet? Don't brag! When when you have faced a hundred men charging at you, say that you have seen war!"

"A hundred ordinary knights rushed towards me, and none of them made it to me alive, and a thousand of them might have wounded me, but they ended up no different than a hundred knights. Only when there are more than 10,000 will I need to avoid them for a while, and then act in batches to wipe them all out. Feige folded his chin and stared coldly at Viscount Kongscaf with his hands folded. "I have the confidence and the ability to ask to stop this time-wasting project. If you don't want to stop......"

"Fitch, pay attention to etiquette, this is the Imperial Council. Andrew took Feige's words at the right time, he raised his hand and waved it, and then said, "I understand that a strong castle is the confidence of the nobility and the people. But the smooth and wide roads and the abundant harvest in the fields are equally faithful. The castle can be put on hold and do something else. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Viscount Constance shrank back like a deflated ball, which caught Andrew's attention. They discussed the residence of Hydes for a while, and Andrew asked Viscount Conscuff to retire.

"Baron Goode, pay attention to the follow-up of stopping the construction of the castle, and it is up to you how much gold you can recover for roads and water conservancy. If you find a problem, you can come to me directly and report it, understand?"

"As you wish, Your Majesty. Baron Goode stood up and bowed to leave, but Feige stopped him.

"I'll bring the teleportation circle back from Minas Ihir. There is already an investment from two of our brothers, and the current return is not bad, and I am ready to expand the scale. As the manager of the national treasury, do you want to increase some of the investment?"

"The treasury can't ask for it. Baron Goode rubbed his beard and said with a smile: "I've actually been keeping an eye out for the caravans that are coming in and out of Minas Ihir, and the teleportation circle seems to be very effective in increasing their benefits, and if it can be enlarged to the national level, it will definitely be of great help to the kingdom." ”

"I plan to use one for commercial use and one for national use. Feige said his thoughts: "One is used to make money, and it will be very busy and have a lot of affairs in the future, so you can join in, just use the relocation as an excuse." The point is that in the future I plan to build a new one dedicated to serving the king. This money mainly depends on the state treasury, and the brothers settle the accounts, and the account keeper needs to understand the actual situation of the project. Whether it is road construction, water conservancy construction or military use, it is essentially the movement and use of materials. I'll move the commercial ones over first, and after you buy shares, you bother to review them so that you can prepare for the national one. I can't help it, Eddie, who was in charge of this, was called to plant potatoes. By the way, I heard that you proposed to give Eddie the title?"

"I am proposing this for the good of the King. ”

"I'm doing the same for the good of the king. Feige replied. A few words and a look, the two of them tacitly agreed.

Andrew is happy to see such a situation. He knew that Fitch was there to fight potential enemies in the Imperial Council, but out of his brother's love, he didn't want to see his brother make enemies on all sides. No matter how strong Fei Qi is, whether he can really defeat ten thousand with one or not, the younger brother will always be the younger brother. Baron Goode was in charge of the vault, and the gold coins gave him a wide circle of friends. His friendship with Feige means that this circle of friends is friendly with Feiqi, which can greatly reduce the resistance that Feige may encounter in his actions.

The Hell Knights are led by Feiqi, and they will inevitably have to deal with various powerful people in the future. Feige may be able to solve everything by brute force, but having more connections with Baron Goode always gives him an easier way to deal with problems. Feige will not just be a spell advisor, he will become the Earl of Hall, the first and probably the only nobleman ever to combine the Templars, the Royal Count, and the Saints, on a status comparable to that of a king. He needs friends, allies, and close friends in the future.

After Baron Goode left, Fitch borrowed the king's attendants to find Shane and prepare to eat with Andrew. After confirming that there was no third person around, Feiqi told the truth about the Terrasqui Behemoth. "The Blazing Sky Servant can't kill that giant beast, so he can only find a way to send it to a place that doesn't affect others. That is to say, once you see a giant beast, immediately hide it, hide it, leave a useful life, and prepare to devote yourself to disaster relief, rescue and restoration of people's lives. You must not rush forward with your might! I will not rush to death. ”

"This giant beast is so powerful, since it is from the second world, then it was created by the Creator, right? Why have you never heard of it in the Yongli Continent?"

"I think it's probably because the Goddess of Truth Thunder has protected us. The strongest native creature I've seen so far is the dragon, but I know that there are many, many creatures out there that are far more powerful than dragons, and many of them are evil and destructive. Andrew, even if the nobles in the country are disobedient now, as long as I am here, it is impossible to threaten your rule. The real threats are out there. I don't ask for anything else, I just want you to see this clearly. ”

"I see. In fact, I have sent people to various places to collect all the information about the Second World, the Creator, and all kinds of monsters, although I don't know how useful it is, but it is better than not being prepared. ”

"It's so good, I'm going to take a look at it too. ”

A dinner not only solved the stomach problem, but also determined the fate of the pirates together. Now that Feige has burned all the pirate ships, it is no longer difficult to destroy the pirates, so why should he give this merit to the elves? The elves think that their island is sinking, but they have not said that the pirate island is unsinking. A strategic point on the sea, in the eyes of the king, could not be allowed.

"If you can convince Haydes to go with him to fight pirates, victory is within reach—don't forget that he loves good wine. "I'm not going to the pirate islands anymore, because I told them not to kill them, and I'm going to leave for a while," said Feiqi. ”

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the Second World to try massive destructive spells. ”

Ever since the explosion of seawater caused by connecting the plane of fire with a portal, Feige has wanted to do the same in the Second World, but on a larger scale and for a longer period of time.

Such an action is best done with the expeditionary army of Hell, which can be protected and mixed with some "military merit". Feige experienced the king's enthronement, athletic conventions, and maritime operations in the mortal world, and the devils of hell were not idle. Kurdan had established himself in the Bronze Fortress, building a strong defensive line around the Cursed Bone Gate, becoming the de facto controller of this important area.

The Lord of Bayer has not yet appeared, and rumors of its fall have been circulating in the Bronze Fortress, but few people believe it. Low-level devils don't have the strength to care who the first-tier lord is, middle-level devils don't dare to participate in such a dangerous game, and high-level devils don't have a fool, no matter how good the rumors are, no one will act if they don't see the actual thing.

But there is still an atmosphere of oppression and tension in the Bronze Fortress, where every devil is on the lookout for his own kind, and every devil is looking for an opportunity to advance himself or eradicate the dissident. It was in this atmosphere that Feige entered the Bronze Fortress and inquired all the way to find Kurdan.

As a purgatory demon of the Deep Hell, Kurdan's eyes are like red-hot briquettes, always radiating light, but today this light is particularly dazzling. It stood confidently in front of the Cursed Bone Gate, clad in heavy armor, its gate-like greatsword stuck into the ground in front of it. Feige came at the right time, as Courdan completed the capture and defense, and finally pulled out to set his sights on the Second World.

"We're going to conquer that world! We're going to conquer that world! let's win!" he gave a short three-sentence speech to his men, then pointed his hands at the Cursed Bone Gate, using the powers of the Deep Hell Purgatory and the General to operate the portal. When the teleportation channel opened, it happened to see Fitch in the crowd.

Courdan's eyes narrowed, and a sly flash flashed from beside the red eyeball.
