"Aristocrats? Looking at your desolate appearance, who would have thought that you were still a noble nobleman? "Twelve knows how to poke people's hearts best.

Sure enough, Todd was enraged when he heard Twelve's words, and the chains on his body rattled: "What do you know, you people will have to pay the price sooner or later, and my embarrassment is only temporary!" When the Cass army arrives, all of you will be my Todd's playthings! ”

"Presumptuous!" Xiao stepped forward to block Twelve, and at this moment, he just wanted to pinch this disrespectful guy to death with one hand.

Twelve pulled Xiao aside, his eyes signaled that he was fine, and then hooked the corners of his lips: "Yo, listen to you say that, the Kas Empire will make a comeback?" But how many people can your emperor recruit this time? Lakh? Two hundred thousand? ”

"Hahaha, this time we don't need to spend a single soldier to raze Novenor to the ground!" Todd threatens Twelve.

Twelve scoffed: "You don't mean to say that you have gunpowder and want to blow up Novino Castle with gunpowder, do you?" ”

Todd stared at her in disbelief and said, "You, how did you know?" This plan is so secret that only Your Majesty and I know about it! ”

"Hahahaha!" Suddenly, not only Twelve, but even Heine and Shaw, who was standing on the side, laughed out loud.

Todd felt that these people were a little inexplicable, or perhaps they didn't believe their words: "Let me tell you, I am not alarmist, Your Majesty has sent our most elite team to secretly infiltrate the castle and camp, and deployed a large amount of gunpowder inside, as long as I give the order, you will all be finished!" ”

Twelve stopped.

Todd looked proud: "Hahaha, I'm afraid, for the sake of these gunpowders, we have prepared a whole year to search, if you know each other, you will obediently let me out, otherwise it will be too late for you to regret it!" ”

Twelve turned and walked to another cell, dragging out an unrecognizable man in the clothes of a Cass soldier still in front of Todd: "Are you talking about this squad?" ”

The man who fell to the ground raised his head tremblingly, and the moment Todd and him looked at each other, his eyes were full of despair: "Why are you here?" ”

The man wailed, and his forehead slammed heavily on the ground: "Your Excellency! The villain is entrusted by His Majesty, and our squad was discovered at the border of Novino, and we were all taken prisoner and the gunpowder was confiscated! ”

Todd's face was as dead as ashes, and he muttered to himself, "It's over, it's over, it's all over-"

Twelve felt that there was something in Todd's words, and took the opportunity to say: "What do you mean when you say that everything is over?" If you can cooperate with us, I can give you a lot of wealth and live a good life in Novino. ”

Todd's eyes only flashed for a moment of hesitation and then said: "This expedition was opposed by all the princes, ministers and nobles, but Your Majesty insisted on this, and my family was lowly, so I want to use this opportunity to please Your Majesty and establish military merits, so that I can get a higher title and reward!" But—"

"But it was destroyed by us, let's say, what did your majesty do in the imperial capital that would provoke so many people's opposition." Twelve said.

Todd's lips squirmed twice, and he began to whimper.

In his crying, Twelve probably understood the cause and effect of this.

Since the last great battle between the two imperial swords, the Kas Empire has indeed been recuperating, but the heavens are not beautiful, and the imperial capital and many nearby cities have suffered from a drought that is rare in ten years.

The once prosperous scene is gone, the people are starving to death, thirsty to death, and even more so to be eaten, and it is not an exaggeration to call such an imperial capital hell.

At this moment, the old emperor died.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, many princes and ministers persuaded Cecil to trade with Robert's empire in exchange for water resources.

However, the young emperor was arrogant and felt that it was a great shame to lose the battle ten years ago, and to still wag his tail and beg for mercy from the Robert Empire, so he decided to conquer Novino, first take down the place closest to the Cass Empire, and then slowly plot to annex the entire Robert Empire in two years.

All the ministers thought it was a fantasy, and the nobles thought Cecil was dreaming.

Not to mention the current situation of people outside who are not living well, fighting a war itself is very resource-consuming, and if there is no money and no people, what kind of war will it be fought.

And Cecil said that if he has the money to buy water resources, it is better to use the money to buy water to build Robert's empire, in exchange for worry-free years and years.

However, if victory had been as easy as Cecil had said, the Cass Empire would not have faced off with the Robert Empire on the Novino border for so many years.

The nobles also had their own ideas in their hearts.

After being hit hard by the drought, the nobles' territories were already unable to make ends meet, and now they have to pay for the war, so how can they live?

Therefore, when Cecil organized the Minister of War to collect military expenses, none of the nobles could hand it over, and when he called him to ask, he cried poor.

It was also at this time that Todd introduced himself to Cecil.

Cecil was desperate for someone to help him achieve his ambitions, and Todd, who was bent on clinging to the Emperor's grace, became the best candidate for him.

Todd offered Cecil a plan to conquer Robert's empire with gunpowder instead of a large army.

Cecil immediately agreed, and Todd began to collect gunpowder everywhere.

Because of its instability, gunpowder has not been widely used in the military, and the person who ignites the explosive is very likely to receive the gunpowder and die.

So only the blacksmith has a little bit of gunpowder.

In order to collect enough gunpowder to blow up the entire castle, Todd traveled to every corner of the Cass Empire, and it can be said that the gunpowder collected by Todd was Todd's entire effort for twelve months day and night.

Knowing the cause and effect, Twelve left the dungeon.

Her idea is that how can such a good thing as gunpowder be wasted, and it is easy to injure her own people because these people don't know how to use gunpowder at all, but Twelve, as a killer, is easy to use in this regard.

So she took some gunpowder and began to teach the Campbell Army how to use the lead to ignite the gunpowder.

For seven days, Heine could only occasionally see Twelve in the middle of the night, followed by a black dog, swaying back to his room.

When the time came, Twelve embarked on a journey to the imperial capital with the trained Xiao and Campbell's army.

Dean wanted to go with him, but Twelve said that Novenor and Novelyn weren't completely safe right now, so he asked him to help Madame Heine defend the rear.

This journey to the Casti capital is far less difficult and dangerous than the twelve imagined, and some are just lamenting.
