Monta Marseille looked at the Emperor with a look of reluctance and anger in his eyes. Ever since the nobles' attempts to form a new alliance against the Revy Magic Empire failed, especially since the Holy Three Castle began to gradually send out the noble children who failed the priest and paladin examinations, he planned to find an acceptable contract for his family.

Two young men, Sheila and Langdon, with the aura of the Hall family, and behind them stood the powerful Emperor Majesty, but they were just fledgling children and were easily influenced. Using the idea that they wanted to build their deeds, Monta Marcello subordinated. He gathered a group of petty nobles who were frightened by the emperor, became the leader of these people, and then betrayed the interests of the petty nobles to gain a more advantageous negotiating position.

He left behind his family's castle and could continue to control the only land access across the river. This is a stable source of income and a guarantee of future political status. His thoughts and actions are not very clever, but Sheila and Langdon have signed an agreement, so he has already achieved a stage victory. In the aristocracy, it doesn't matter whether you are smart or not, it is the result that matters. It's just that he didn't expect the emperor's reaction to be so big and so fast.

"I want to unify the entire Yongli Continent, and the formal unification will be completed within two years at the latest. Fei Qi took out his wand, and a little in the air, a topographical map of the entire Yongli Continent was displayed. "In terms of area, Qiaodu City is only a little more than one-third of the distance, but in terms of population, plus the surrounding radiation area, there are almost more than forty percent of it, nearly half. Anything doesn't mean the same when it's more than halfway there. ”

"Next year, I'm going to start attacking like that. Fitch waved his wand and drew a few lines in the illusion map in the air. "Qiaodu City will become a transit point for supplies, as well as a rear for the treatment of the wounded. At the same time, it will inevitably become an important target for all opponents to attack. If you want to stay there, then I guarantee that if the battle breaks out, none of your entire clan will be able to leave Qiaodu City. But even so, I don't want you to stay there. It's simple: I can't trust you. ”

"Just the greatest insult to a nobleman. And we have never had any such dishonorable thing as treachery in the history of our Marseilles! ”

Feige nodded, acknowledging that Monta was right, "But I just don't trust you, so there's no need to talk about that." The Marseille family flourished because of the important geographical location of Qiaodu City, and maintained its power and independence in the nearby area, which has lasted for three hundred years, which is enough. Now, of course, you have the right to die defending the glory of the past, and you can get out of my plan and save me from a word of mouth. ”

Monta Marseille slammed the table hard, then flipped it over, and the cups and plates of fruit and drink were scattered all over the floor. He looked at Feige angrily, and if he had a sword in his hand, he must have drawn it out at this point. But after entering the palace, his personal weapons were given to the guards and could not be brought into the emperor's rooms. There was such a loud noise in the house, but no one came in. What does it mean that Monta found out that it was not only his bodyguards, but also His Majesty's guards did not come in?

"Unleash your anger, there are weapons on the wall over there, and those two huge axes are regularly maintained, and they are so sharp that they can be trusted to split a horse in the middle. The contempt in Feige's eyes was clearly discernible and stung Monta even deeper. "If you don't have the guts, I can help you again, like ......"

"Stop!" Monta said suddenly, "you will own the city, the castle and the bridge, but you will never have the hearts of the people of the city." You won't be trusted by the nobles, you won't be loved, you're a bastard!"

Feige closed his eyes slightly, took a breath, and slowly opened them: "Coward." ”

"Oh, that word doesn't apply to me, you're just trying to me off. As an emperor, you have lost your grace, self-esteem, and self-discipline, and you are a coward. The Revy Magic Empire is essentially just a castle of sand built on power. You're strong, but you can't always be the strongest. ”

"You're quite right. Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"You will be rewarded with the castle of Hashito, because the reality has not changed, and the Marseille family cannot withstand the Knights of Hell, nor can they withstand your threat. But I didn't fail, because I ripped off your fake skin at the cost of a castle. I believe that there is justice and justice in this world, and what you do today will inevitably come back to you. Monta snorted coldly, and then asked, "Your Majesty the Emperor, can I retire?"

"Let's go. Feige waved his hand, no joy on his face.

Monta slammed the door and left, and the intelligence chief Maithers hurried in. He walked quickly up to Feiqi and bent down deeply, waiting for the storm from His Majesty the Emperor.

"Who did Monta bring with him to Port Tawu this time?" Feige asked.

Maxes was shocked, and some very bad possibilities suddenly came to mind, most of which were mixed with murder and gore. He took three of his four sons and all two daughters. Monta's two younger brothers also came, both of whom were powerful members of the Marseille family. According to my information, he also came this time with the idea of liaising with other old nobles, especially in business matters. ”

"And who else is in Qiaodu City?"

Is it to capture the hostages, or to let the Hell Knights teleport a raid and slaughter the city? Maxus didn't dare to think about it, he tried to control his emotions and tone, and said, "The Marseille family still has about twenty close relatives, plus about twenty family knights are still in Qiaodu City. The permanent garrison there was about one hundred and twenty troops, and with the addition of servants, probationary knights, and domestic servants who could be armed, there were up to four hundred. ”

Fei Qi thought for a moment, and then said: "You go to Goode, just say my order, let him mobilize a batch of materials for paving roads, repairing bridges and disaster relief, and transport them to the camp of the Knights of Hell, which will be completed tonight." I'll ask Tron to put some guards in place. When you hear the news, you'll know what you're going to do. Follow the Knights of Hell to disaster relief, then take control of the situation until I call you back. This mission is your punishment, so don't fail again. ”

Maxhers nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty, I will do my best." ”

After sending him away, Feige stood quietly in the parlor for a moment, closing his eyes and thinking about the problem. After that, he habitually reached for the cat teasing stick, but suddenly retracted it halfway through, as if he had been electrocuted. The cat teaser made a puzzled expression, but Feige didn't answer for it, but instead turned the Elder Wand and turned into a red line of fire and rushed into the sky.

The cat teaser stick can only stay where it is, watching the thin red line move away. The red thread was a glide of Feige gliding through the gaps in space, visible to everyone, but not touchable. The thin line flew in the sky and stretched for a long time, but it only took a few blinks of an eye for Feige to reach his destination. In front of him was a large river with a rushing current, and the moonlight and starlight, obscured by the clouds, could barely reflect the faint light on the surface of the river, and the quiet night sky made the roar of the river even more noisy.

Feige slowly lowered his elevation and finally stopped at a distance of only a few meters from the river. It's a treacherous whirlpool, with no ferries, no fishermen, no villages on either side, and therefore no witnesses. He pointed at the river with his Elder Wand, then opened the magic matrix to input spells about water elemental control and spatial teleportation.

A purple beam of light shot out from the tip of the Elder Wand and slammed into the river with a loud thunderous sound. In an instant, the river was broken, like a heavy punch, from the surface of the river to the bottom of the water. Along the direction of the river, the water in front of the fault location – only in front – suddenly rises as if twice as much water as the river is stacked on top of each other.

This strange wave pushed forward and fell backwards, trying to fill the fault, but a second thunderclap appeared. Feige uses water elemental control and spatial spells to change the state of the river's waves, turning a relatively smooth gentle wave into a steep wave like a mountain valley. He exerts pressure on the river, like a piledriver slamming into it, and this pressure with a specific frequency moves in the direction of the water flow and is released when it encounters an obstacle.

The artificially created shock wave is unstoppable. For Qiaodu Castle, the thunder in the upstream direction is distant and inaudible, but the sound of the continuous waves is becoming clearer and clearer.

The docks on both sides of the river bank were all destroyed, and even the boats tethered to the shore were pulled off by the strange waves and dragged down violently. All the buildings and ships were torn apart, reduced to wooden wreckage large and small, and were pushed downstream by the waves.

There is no shortage of drowning people in the torrent, they want to shout, but when a wave goes down, it becomes silent. No one with the best water would be able to fight this flood, and there would be no hope of surviving at all - unless they were moved ashore by a spell by Feige.

Feige followed the torrent he had created in stealth, flying much faster than the river could move. He had the phantom snake Koktar go underwater, so it was easy to see those who were drowning. He waited until the drowning person fainted and then rescued them, controlling the current and throwing them up the riverbank, as far as possible where there were crowds. The first wave of the flood peak is the most dangerous because many people are not prepared for it. The waves that follow, unless someone actively jumps down, rarely roll people down.

At night, Hashido Castle is a line of lights that spans the river, with torches and oil lamps outlining the bridge and the castle. Fei Qi glanced at the river, the front part had passed the last river crossing pier before the bridge crossing the city, and after that, it should be a flat river. So he accelerated his flight and came to Qiaodu Castle ahead of schedule. The guards here had heard of the anomalous water, but they couldn't see the river in the darkness at all.

Feige whispered a word in a soldier's ear, and the young soldier struck a spirit, then rushed to the alarm bell at the head of the city, ripped off the safety cover, grabbed the pendulum rope, and shook it with all his might. Before anyone else could stop it, another soldier also gave a stirring and blew the horn vigorously, signaling the most urgent alarm.

The whole castle suddenly came to life, but it was like a person who had just woken up from a dream, and there was some confusion left over from sleep. They prepared for an enemy attack, and more and more soldiers, knights, and servants left the room, took up arms, and stormed the walls. Those who could not fight were also dragged up, wrapped in large inlaid leather armor, and taken to safety.

"Look! Look at the river! What are those white ones?"

The white ones are the waves, and the deep black ones are the wrecks of buildings and ships that were previously dragged into the water. They are powerful siege troops, crashes and battering rams, death squads. Everyone was exclaiming, and the city gates that had just been rolled up were asked to be lowered again. The people of Qiaodu City live by the river, who doesn't know how to be watery, who doesn't understand the appearance and power of the river when it is angry?

"Quick, get out of the castle and go to shore!

Without a horse, you wouldn't have had time to run the entire bridge on your legs. The first torrent rushed over, slamming into the bridge base, and did not let go of the castle on the central island. Everyone felt their bodies deviate for a moment, and then there was a tingling sensation from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

The water is soft, changing itself according to the environment, they pass, the wreckage is hard, rigid, stuck on the bridge and on the shore, and then a second wave is ushered in. Something broke, and it was a strange feeling, and no one heard the sound, but it was the same feeling. People shouted frantically for those who had rushed onto the bridge to retreat. They suddenly felt that the castle on the central island was much safer than the two bridges.

On the third impact, all the windows on the upstream side of the castle shattered, and huge cracks extended outward from the lattice, forming ugly cobwebs on the walls. The pots that had been placed on the window fell, and they seemed silent as they hit the walls, the floor, and into the waves—because the fourth impact was too loud.

Everyone was shocked, and they could only watch as the bridge deck broke, and the wooden wreckage upstream ate the stone bridge, and gnawed through the insurmountable gap, but one by one they had the thought that "this is a matter of course". There is an unnatural feeling everywhere about this flood, because nature has no clear purpose when it is angry, and these terrible waves are not.

The two bridges were destroyed, leaving only the approach bridge on the shore and a few pillars that appeared and disappeared in the floodwaters. Almost all of the bridge decks have gone downstream, and the river may be resurfaced during the dry season. Now that no one cares about the bridge, the castle is the next target of the flood.

The walls had begun to crumble, and every time the masonry fell, there were screams. The crowd prayed to the goddess that they would not take away their last place of rest.

The castle is collapsing, especially near the water's surface, and the flood is moving forward like an excavator, and the castle is fighting back with falling masonry. All the people of Hashido City watched all this with a miserable face, and they found that their power was useless in this disaster. The casters who remained in the castle were also trying, but when their spells hit the flood, they were like candles in a typhoon, extinguished in an instant.

"Goddess, save us!" they cried out hoarsely, and the sound was silenced by the flood. Just when everyone was in a state of panic, the flood finally began to wane, and hope appeared.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the water flow is getting slower and slower. The castle was still collapsing due to its own weight, but the process was finally stopped. After a few hours, the river was completely calm and the Château de Marseille was still there, but everyone could tell that it was no longer usable. Feige secretly controlled the spell and subtly achieved this effect.

And all the people of the castle are stranded on the central island, and the nearest ferries are the ones that have become debris and drifted away.
