Chapter 514: The Struggle of the Sovereigns

The canonization of the first nobleman of the kingdom, and the direct granting of a high-ranking title such as the earl, proves Dane's determination. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the behest of the kingdom's top brass, Lieutenant General Paran has repeatedly stated in public that the Kingdom of Sindelair greatly appreciates the good qualities possessed by Count Parrot and will fully support the countess's ascension to the throne of the Grand Duke. At the same time, Paran also said openly and secretly that Count Ekra was not a suitable monarch, and if he became the Grand Duke of Florence, it would bring disaster to the country that had just recovered Ho Ping not long ago.

That's a complete threat.

What does it mean to 'bring disaster again'? Although the words are not so straightforward, I believe many people can understand this meaning - if Ekra really becomes the Grand Duke of Florence, then the Kingdom of Hindlaire does not mind using its military power to tell all the people in the world who has the final say in Florence.

Under Palan's statement, many people were intimidated.

The Duchy of Florence really can't afford another war.

In the last war, Florence lost a bull collar, and the humiliation of unconditional surrender still pervades the country. Let them meet the wrath of the Sindelaretes again?

Not many people want to.

As a result, some of the wall grasses that were originally wandering in the middle chose to retreat.

Ekra won't sit still. Secretly, he made a lot of moves.

For example, there was a revolt of the dock workers in Tarence, the joint revolt of several farms around Bauhinia, and even the Sawmill Workers' Revolt in the fir territory, which was owned by the former Earl of Saad.

These riots, for the time being, the Mafia Academy did not find any direct evidence related to Count Ekra, the son of the Grand Duke, there is still some level of work, and it is not so easy to catch his tail.

But in this world, many things don't really need proof.

In terms of motivation, these riots ostensibly protested against Sindelare's rule over Florence or for more welfare for their own groups, but in reality, no one would believe that there was something behind them.

Although the promoters behind the investigation of the Mafia Academy for the time being are all minor nobles or some businessmen, the foreign affairs department of the kingdom, the Mafia Academy, and Lieutenant General Paran have basically identified Count Ekra as the culprit in promoting all this.

No one cares if the Count of Ekra is wronged or not, but from Schindlaire's point of view, as long as we are convinced, then you are guilty.

Paland quickly attacked, and within three days, all the rebellions around Bauhinia City, Port Tarence, and the fir lords were suppressed, killing more than 200 people and taking thousands of prisoners awaiting trial.

At the same time, at the height of the competition for the succession of the Grand Duke of Florence, the Mafia Academy weaved a bunch of accusations, waiting to be stuffed for Count Ekra.

Once the issue of the rebellion was settled, Paran began planning a raid on Count Aichra.

The Earl lived in his own mansion in the City of Bauhinia, a heavily guarded place.

The son of the Grand Duke obviously did not have any sense of security. In addition to the nearly 100 guards who belonged to him, the troops of the Holy Alliance stationed in Bauhinia City also sent hundreds of elites to be stationed in his mansion.

If Palan wants to do it, he has to plan carefully. Otherwise, once there is any problem in the operation, if a mansion with 200 people is stationed there, if you want to take it quickly, you will have to invest at least 1,000 troops. And once the scene is really made that big, I am afraid that the troops of the Holy Alliance stationed in Bauhinia City will also participate, and then the situation will become very complicated.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Paran decided to gather all those who had the right to inherit the position of the Grand Duke in the name of a 'assembly of heirs of the principality' to the square of the city of Bauhinia.

Nominally, it was supposed to be an intimate encounter between the heirs and their future subjects, but in reality, Paran planned a series of actions to arrest the guy in a surprise attack after Akra left the mansion.

The follow-up treatment of Ekra has nothing to do with Paran, and the kingdom's foreign affairs department will take over this matter. All he had to do was catch Akela and don't let him die.

At first, it didn't deviate much from Paran's plan. He, a lieutenant general, has a very huge influence in the city of Bauhinia, and in the entire country, more than ninety percent of the military force is under his command, and no one dares to be disobedient.

The three children of the Grand Duke of Florence, Count Ecra and Countess Parrot, and another daughter who had little attention, as well as several nephews and nieces of the Grand Duke, were all present.

Although there are a lot of people, in essence, this battle for inheritance is limited to Ekra and Parrot, and the others are just here to be a background board and soy sauce.

The rally soon began, with several heirs handing out some food and snacks to the incoming people, and then standing on a high platform to preach to their respective propagandists.

Everything is no different from an ordinary rally or public speech to win the support of the people.

Until, on a few street corners around the square, a large number of heavily armed soldiers appeared, surrounding the entire square.

The people who didn't know why were panicked and stayed where they were. The soldiers of the Sixth Legion did not come up and acted roughly, and divided into several squads to 'protect' the people. The rest of the men began to move towards the improvised platform in the center of the square.

Ekra had twenty or thirty personal soldiers around him, and after the appearance of the surrounding Hindlaire army, he was very nervous to protect the Earl.

They even tried to catch Parrot next to them first, but on Parrot's side, it was obvious that they had prepared in advance. The fierce soldiers of the two squads are composed of the elite of the Sixth Legion who have been killed from the battlefield. After being hacked to death three or four people, Ekorra's men did not dare to act rashly.

They didn't move, and neither did the guards who were protecting the countess move - anyway, the soldiers of the Sixth Legion surrounding the square outside were conservatively estimated to be a thousand, and the Count of Ekra could not fly with his wings in his wings.

But the duke's son was clearly not willing to rest on his laurels, and he seemed to have planned for the current situation.

I saw that one of the servants beside him took out a scroll from his arms.

That's clearly a spellcaster!

With Ekra's identity, it wasn't too difficult for him to find a spellcaster as a follower.

This spellcaster should be a real mage. It seems that he has at least the strength of the five rings, which means that he is at least a ninth-level intermediate mage.

A mage of this level has a very powerful spell-casting ability. At the very least, spells like any gate, or even any gate at range, have made it to their cast list.

And now, the flickering arcane light is the prelude to the casting of any gate from a distance. And the reason why scrolls are used is obviously to speed up the casting speed. After all, it's quicker to activate a spell sealed in a scroll than to build a spell and cast it yourself.

Any door, the distance that can be teleported, the limit is almost two or three hundred meters, and how far it is closely related to the strength of the caster. However, even if it is an archmage, it is impossible to teleport beyond a distance of five hundred meters with any gate, which is the limit of the spell itself.

As for the long-range Arbitrary Gate, it is another spell that can teleport at a distance of ten to twenty kilometers.

This is a life-saving hole card held by the Count of Ekra. A ninth-level mage, with the use of scrolls, only takes a maximum of three to four seconds to complete the casting of any gate at a distance. At that time, he would be able to teleport from the square at the center of the storm to a place ten kilometers away - the secret base he had prepared.

At that time, the Hindlaire people, who have not reached their goal, but have made such a big move, will definitely fall into the pressure of public opinion, and the Holy Alliance will not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely lash out at Paland.

And he, on the other hand, can escape from the secret base he has prepared, and then find a way to contact some of his own supporters in the principality, and then pull in some help from the Holy Alliance, he may not have a chance to make a comeback.

But, he's a little too naïve.

He had a good idea, but when another arcane light appeared on the scene, it shattered his thoughts to pieces on the spot.

Not far away, Lieutenant General Paran, who was in the private room on the top floor of a high-end clubhouse, was observing the scene with a glass of wine and with the help of his eagle eye.

When Ekra's mage began to cast his magic, a smile appeared on his lips.

This hunt has been prepared for a long time, and if the prey can run under his nose, then Palan will not have to continue to sit in his current position.

As for Aike, he was naïve, thinking that he had an escape spell as his hole card, and he could sit back and relax.

Cindlaire's magical power was never as weak as the outside world thought. Perhaps, in the past, the Hindlaire region was indeed a magical desert. However, when Dane arrived, the existence of the three mage towers in Cormierya's aboveground and underground, White Wolf Castle, greatly expanded Hindlaire's magical power. There are many drows, elves, and human mages. In the future, the dwarven runemasters of Emhar, the shamans of the Warsong Clan, and the demon warlocks of Lava City will greatly expand the magic power of Dane's forces.

For now, there are more than three high-level mages around Paran alone, serving as his spell advisors in Florence. Drow, elves, and humans, three mages of three races, proficient in three different directions, can solve almost any magical problem that Paran encounters - as long as it is not too serious.

At the moment, a mid-level mage, using a scroll to release a long-range arbitrary spell, is certainly not a serious problem for the Hindlaire military, which has three high-level mages in charge.

The two mages of Elf and Drow were too lazy to do it, just the human mage, cast the spell in advance, and a dimensional anchor was certain, and in the area where the spell took effect, all the magic that had not been activated or completed and involved in the teleportation ability was directly stifled on the spot.

Akra was dumbfounded.

He had never imagined such a scene.

Glancing at his mage, Aekra wanted to ask with his eyes if there was any other way, but from the other party's eyes, he only saw panic.

He could also feel that the opponent who had just released the dimensional anchor had at least a higher casting level than himself, at least reaching the level of a high-level mage, which was not something he could fight.

After all last resorts failed, Ekra had no room for resistance, and he could only be captured.

……

Compared to the extremely fast and decisive actions of the Hindlairees, the Holy Alliance's army in the City of Bauhinia was very sluggish.

While Parrot had been protected by the Sixth Legion and Ekra had been placed under house arrest in a hotel, the Holy Alliance's troops had just arrived on the battlefield.

What do they get? You can only reap the mess of one land.

Palan also badly threw the maintenance and cleaning of the square to the Holy Alliance's army.

The commander of the Holy Alliance's troops in Bauhinia City came to the door quite angrily, asking for an explanation, and at the same time, he also strongly condemned Paran's actions, violating the "Silver and White Entente", and was destroying the peace, and they demanded that the people of Sindelair hand over the Count of Ekra as soon as possible.

Paran didn't pay any attention to the gang.

He didn't intend to kill Ekla, he was just under house arrest. It wasn't until Parrot inherited the title of Grand Duke and became the first female Grand Duke in Florence's history that Ekra could be released - it was only a possibility, and if the boy decided not to cooperate, it was not impossible to remain under house arrest forever.

Believe that the people of Hindlaire will be able to do such a thing.

For Paran, this can be regarded as a solution to a major problem. It is believed that after Ekra is controlled, Parrot will be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Grand Duke with the strong support of Sindelare, and then as time goes by, the influence of Ekra under house arrest on those forces in the country will become smaller and smaller.

At that time, the endless riots and opposition forces should also slowly subside.

It is also because of these reasons that Palan's mood has rarely improved a lot.

However, this good mood lasted only a few hours - on the night of Aikla's arrest, he fled.
