Chapter 310: The Wind Rises
In a manor more than 100 kilometers away from the city of Fante, a wild dragon wrapped like a rice dumpling lies on a deck chair basking in the sun. A large bird fell from the sky, and Christine jumped off the back of the big bird and asked respectfully, "Your Highness the Wild Dragon, there is a letter from you." β
The mad dragon glared at Christine, and Luo Han came out of the room and smiled, "Do you think he can respond to you like this?" β
Christine handed a letter to Luo Han with both hands. Luo Han took it apart and looked at it, and said to Christine: "Tell Lord Andre that we will go to him in seven days at most." β
Christine nodded, rolled over and climbed onto the big bird, and as soon as he pulled the reins around the big bird's neck, the big bird spread its wings and flew away.
"Let you be a hero, there was a shadow dragging you, as long as I eased up, he would die, you have to play with your life. Is it fun now? β
The mad dragon shook his head slightly, and Luo Han shrugged and said, "I know you want to attack the second-order potential lock. Alas...... You think that you can open the second order by sending you to death, it's too child's play, right? But you're really fierce at that moment, and I don't think Wuji can hit that strong punch now, unless he makes a move for a day and a night. β
There was pride in the dragon's eyes, and it was obviously very useful.
Luo Han changed his words and said: "Andre news, Prince Cruise has ascended the throne, and ordered troops from all over the country to go to the western provinces to crusade against the monarch killer Cario. I think Ossis must have reached the Western Province by this time, and Cario's army was ready. β
Before killing Raphael, Stormwind Squad staged a play in front of Ossian to make the kidnapped Ossis hear about "Cruise's" plan to kill the king and blame Callio, and prepared to force Ossis to write his testimony after assassinating Raphael. Stormwind then launched an assassination attempt, but Ossis was "lucky" to break free from the ropes shortly after. Because the city guards were under the control of Cruise, Ossis did not dare to contact the city guards, let alone enter the city of Vant, so he could only abscond into the mountains and cross the mountains to remind his father. What he didn't know was that his escape was done by the shadow, and his every move was under the watchful eye of the shadow, and Linghu Yulan and Nightmare also followed him all the way, secretly helping him expel the demonic beast, so that he could pass through Bicester Mountain smoothly and quickly.
Luo Han took out a lighter, lit the letter, looked at the rising flames and said, "Andre, the old fox, is right, as long as Cario is suspected, whether he did it or not, Cruise will definitely believe that he did it, and help us convince those ministers." In front of the throne, the friendship between uncles and nephews, and the safety of the kingdom are all papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and they can be pierced at the first poke. As long as Cario is not too stupid, even if he suspects that someone is behind it, he will rebel. Because Cruise was just looking for a reason to kill him, he would never sit idly by, Ossis was just giving him a legitimate reason to win over some people into his camp. β
"Take care of your injuries, and when you're healed, we'll have to be busy, but before we can do that, we need to prepare something." Luo Han looked up at the sky and shouted to the room: "Mengmeng, I'm going to leave here for a few days, and the dragon will be handed over to you." β
Cruise ordered the whole country to crusade against the king's killers, and troops from all over the country rushed to the western provinces to participate in the battle. However, when the vanguard reached Mount Turan in the province of Turan, they were intercepted by a well-prepared army, and received shocking news from the opposing officers that King Raphael had died at the hands of Prince Cruise.
In this version, Cruise is afraid that by the time he inherits the throne, he will be old, and his desire for the throne makes him brazenly make the decision to assassinate his father, drugged Raphael's food, causing Raphael to have problems during the fierce battle and eventually being killed.
The key to the convincing of this statement is to emphasize Raphael's status as a five-star powerhouse, and propose that it is impossible for the monarchs of other kingdoms to sneak into the city of Van and assassinate Raphael. Therefore, the statement that the drug caused Raphael to drop the chain at a critical moment and was besieged to death by a group of four-star powerhouses seems more logical. The only one who has the qualifications to be drugged and has a reason to drugged is Cruise, and it is not difficult to verify whether the kings with five-star strength have left their own country.
For a moment, the generals didn't know who to believe. The major provinces in the west have apparently been under Cario's command, and under Cario's command, they have assembled on Mount Turan to confront Cruise's coalition forces.
At this time, it is impossible for the two sides to reconcile, whoever submits softly will bear the infamy of killing the king, especially when both sides are suspicious, and submitting to softness is equivalent to handing over the fate to the other party. With the criminal investigation ability in this world, it is almost impossible to solve the case in a short period of time, so the only way to defeat the opponent is to speak with strength.
Cruise and Cario led their headquarters to Mount Turan and, after a pointless confrontation, drew a clear line. On Cario's side, although there are only troops from a few western provinces, plus the border guards under Cario's own command, they have the prestige of Cario's army, and all of his subordinates have a clear position. And although there are many people on Cruise's side, there are quite a few local troops who are wavering and do not know which team to stand.
Cruise noticed this, and he realized a serious problem. Cario's connections and prestige in the local army were incomparable to that of a prince who had never left Vant, and in the absence of any way to prove that Cario was a regre, Cario was undoubtedly more popular in the army. Half of the ministers in the palace thought that Callio was more suitable for the throne than him, let alone the local army? After a succession of local troops close to the western provinces took advantage of the night to take advantage of Cario, Cario broke the stalemate and ordered the whole army to attack and defeat Cario before the wavering guys defected.
The identity of the orthodox heir has played some role, and there are still many people who firmly believe that Cruise, as a son of man, cannot do something to kill his father and king, and under the coercion of these people, those who are still swaying have to follow the attack. A great war of tens of thousands of people broke out on Mount Turan.
Luo Han stood opposite the Vat Palace, looking at this majestic palace with great interest. After Cruise left in person, Andre, the old fox, quietly summoned the people of the major business families in the city of Vant, and asked them to send all the escorts in their hands to avoid the war being tight, and the two bigwigs forcibly recruited the caravan guards. Christine and Dave also left Van City because of this, and only a young man from the Nathan family stayed here to preside over the Nathan family's property here, so Luo Han was really bored and could only wander around.
"Huh? Wind. Alex walked out of the palace with a few guards, and was a little surprised to see Luo Han.
"Your Highness Alex, I feel very sorry for Your Majesty's affairs." Luo Han touched his chest with one hand and saluted.
Alex was obviously not in a good mood, and sighed and said, "Now I can't figure out what it is...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Why hasn't His Highness Tempest shown up in the past two days? β
Luo Han said: "The Lord followed Dave to the Nathan family a few days ago, and he must still be in the Nathan family now." β
Alex wondered, "Aren't you the captain of his personal guard?" Why didn't you come with him? β
Luo Han shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you think the Lord really needs a guard?" Hmm, or how much do you think I can help his safety? Actually, I volunteered to stay. The Lord wants to buy some property in Van City, and someone has to deal with it, and I'd rather do it myself than the shrewd vampires of the Nathan family. β
Alex nodded and agreed, "Wise decision." I've got some things to attend to, so goodbye. β
Luo Han hurriedly said: "Your Highness, may I ask if Her Royal Highness Princess Shirlia is in the palace?" β
Alex had a look on his face, thought for a while and said, "Shiria has been having a hard time these days, so she took her head with her this morning...... Well...... Brother Pi went to the grassland in the northern suburbs of the city to relax. β
Luo Han nodded, hesitated and said, "The Lord has a few words for me to convey to His Highness, but I don't know whether to say it or not." β
Alex frowned and asked, "What does His Highness the Crazy Dragon say?" You just say it, you don't have to spit out. β
"The Lord said that he had personally experienced the struggle for royal power, and we have a saying in the East, which is called 'Under the nest, there are eggs'. This means that there will be no intact eggs in the nest that has been knocked over. In addition, the Lord has a saying: Don't put your neck under someone else's butcher's knife. β
Alex's face changed greatly, and Luo Han didn't speak, just looked at him quietly. After a long time, Alex nodded and said, "I understand, thank Your Highness the Crazy Dragon for me." β
The corners of Luo Han's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Since Your Highness understands, then I will tell Your Highness one more word." The Lord does not want to be a Liu Wang nobleman for the rest of his life. β
The corners of Alex's eyes jumped, this sentence clearly showed that it was a gesture of favor by the four-star peak powerhouse of the mad dragon, but did he want to do that or not? It wasn't an easy decision to make.
Alex took a deep breath and said to the guards beside him, "Inform the other princes that I have something of great importance to discuss with them. The wind, out of company. β
Luo Han smiled and said, "It seems that the Lord has not mistaken His Highness, since this is the case, I will leave first." β
Luo Han walked out of the city from the north gate, and saw Pi Ge galloping on the not wide grassland outside the city. On the back of the pig sat two women, one of whom was none other than Shiria.
Luo Han whistled, attracting Brother Pi's attention, and when the big pig saw Luo Han, his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Shiria exclaimed in surprise, "Wind? What are you doing here? β
Luo Han beckoned to Brother Pi and said, "Come here." β
Brother Pi hesitated, but after all, he didn't dare to disobey, and walked over with two people on his back.
Luo Han said as he walked: "I heard that His Royal Highness Alex said that Her Royal Highness the princess is in a bad mood, so come and take a look, by the way, take a look at this big guy." Who is this beautiful lady? β
Shiria introduced, "Lucia, my cousin. Brother Pi can only be controlled by a three-star powerhouse, so I asked her to help me. β
At this time, Luo Han walked in front of Brother Pi by himself, stretched out his hand and touched the pig's head like a dog, but Brother Pi snorted twice and didn't dare to move.
Luo Han smiled, "Nice to meet you, Miss Lucia. β
Lucia shrugged and said, "You are the one who tamed this Thunderhorn boar, you don't look very old, why do you have a beard?" β
Luo Han stretched out his hand and took off his fake beard, revealing the appearance of a disguised mask, and explained: "Hiding from the enemy, I made some changes." β
Shiria was surprised: "So you look like this." β
Luo Han re-glued his beard and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I regret the assassination of His Majesty Raphael, and I hope you can get rid of your grief as soon as possible. β
Lucia pouted: "Father is a five-star powerhouse, how can he ...... Wind, now there are rumors that Brother Cruise killed his father, what do you think? β
Luo Han shook his head and said, "I don't know, after all, this kind of thing involving the throne is possible." But ......"
Shiria hurriedly asked, "But what?" β
Luo Han pondered and said: "But the focus now is not who assassinates His Majesty Raphael, but who will win between His Majesty Cruise and Kari Euro Shuai." The victor receives the throne and honor, and the loser suffers destruction and guilt. β
Shirlia was silent, Luo Han was right, until there was hard evidence, the winner would have the full say.
Luo Han added: "Has Her Royal Highness the Princess thought about it? If the true kingkiller wins the war, what will happen to you royalty? He will kill all those who threaten him, so that even if the truth is revealed, no one will be able to challenge his position, and his subjects will not be able to restore a group of dead people. Don't forget, His Majesty Raphael is the brother of Carry Euro Shuai, the father of Cruise, and is closer than you to whoever he is related to. Of course, it is more likely that the truth will never be revealed, and the righteous side will forever bear the infamy of killing the king and killing his relatives. β
Shirya's face turned pale, and Lucia wondered, "How dare you say such a thing?" β
Luo Han sighed and said, "I'm not a subject of Norlante, no matter who is the king, they can't control me." I'm just doing my duty as a friend, and I don't want Shiria to die for no apparent reason. β
Shiria bit her lip and asked, "Is there any way?" β
"The solution is very simple, no one believes it, contain both sides, find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible and then make a choice."
A determined look appeared on Shiria's still somewhat immature face: "Tell me, how to do it?" β
Luo Han shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is not something you can do, His Highness Alex is already making preparations, what you need to do may be to help him persuade your other brothers." β
Shiria nodded and said, "Lucia, we'll go back right away." β
Lucia urged Pico without any fuss and rushed towards the city gate.
Luo Han looked at the majestic mountains around the grassland, as well as the looming military camp on the mountain, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really a fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
