The cold wind whistled across his face, and Roddy tightened his leather jacket and curled up on the saddle of the duck.

Although the temperature has risen a lot with the arrival of spring, anyone who has been in the air for several days in a row will be exhausted by the cold wind blowing in the sky.

Immediately after the battle six days earlier, Roddy sent people to take control of the remaining mines that were still manned to get supplies, and then flew to the churches and monasteries of the "Rosicrucian" in all nearby territories to ask for help.

To Roddy's relief, the rhetoric of the "royal family" in the territory of Ivota was far less credible than that of the Roussiflon family or the local lords, and the name "Roddy" itself had been recognized by the "Rosicrucian" higher-ups, so the reinforcements set off almost the next day and arrived in Pacaro City within four days.

And the next moment of rescue, Sodrol and Akasha rode all the way to Senna with the undead troops who did not need to be burdened, and after nightfall, they killed the guardian mage with the help of a high elf mage's large-scale "hypnosis", and Sodrore personally stabbed the real "traitor" who was at large.

Immediately afterward, Roddy, with the powerful power of his flying mount, hung Senna's head in the center of the Mirno family's domain, and then flew away as if he had never been here.

He didn't assassinate the Count of Mirno, let alone trouble the royal family, but just stepped on the duck and left as if he had sent a "special courier" - because it was not his revenge for losing his mind after being calculated by the royal family, but it was the first step in the whole plan of his life.

"So... Engaging in politics is really an involuntary thing. ”

Looking at the city of Pacaro that gradually became clear in his field of vision, Roddy sighed lowly, and then leaned over, allowing the duck to land in a circle.

At this time, the city of Pacaro was once again under martial law, and there were three or four groups of men and horses outside the city walls, apparently nearly a thousand soldiers of the fortress who had arrived after receiving Senna's notice - they were not led by nobles, but by several retainers of the original city lord. At this time, they were obviously not very well-informed, and they could not understand why it was not the "Viscount of Senna" standing on the city walls.

Of course, they were more curious about who the fat man who was hanged on the city gate was.

And it didn't take long for these questions to be answered - they didn't expect that Sally, the Duke of Evta, who was listed as a "traitor", would appear on the city walls!

“... Senna and Anru colluded with the orc army to frame the nobles of Evta through a safari, and the crime is unforgivable and has been sentenced to death!"

"The surviving lords are all listed here, and they can bear witness to my words..."

After the words were read, no matter what the facts were, the lords who appeared on the walls one by one were enough to make these soldiers "retreat in the know"—they were not dead soldiers of the Mirnor family, and they were still running up and fighting with the words "kill the traitors" or something like that?

Therefore, after Sally expressed her position, the soldiers below expressed their willingness to obey the orders of the "Great Lord", and chose to return the same way in turn, without mentioning the matter of "entering the city". As for the "traitor" or something, no one said anything.

Dressed in priestly robes, Sally left the walls with the lords after speaking. After the change, these nobles have no choice but to stand on the same side as her, no matter how much they have been against the "Rusifron" family before, at least from now on, they have no way out.

"The matter of Pacaro City has come to an end here, and the rest is up to you. ”

Sally said this with a calm gaze, and then said no more, and left early under the escort of the guards. The rest of the lords looked at each other with grim faces, and they also walked in different directions...

They had a lot of things to do, some were going to write letters, some were going to return to the territory immediately, and more were trying to build up the "united front" - in fact, many nobles were still complaining about Roddy's recklessness, blaming him for not killing Senna like this and tearing up his face with the royal family... But at this point, they had no choice, and Roddy's quick knife cutting had already made them realize that this was not something that could be solved by prevarication.

The former "Karen Kingdom" may have disappeared from this day on.

The city of Pacaro, which was originally inconspicuous in Everta, was at the center of all the whirlpools in the early spring of 590, and almost all the top leaders of the country were involved... And the most reluctant of them is probably the royal family that was caught off guard.

"Mirno, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation!"

Charles II's questioning voice was not high, but the coldness in his words made the Count of Mirno shiver.

He knelt down on one knee in front of the Karen monarch, his body trembling, but he didn't know how to answer after whispering for a long time...

In fact, if anyone changes his position, I'm afraid he doesn't know what to say.

According to the original plan, as soon as Sally died, the entire Evta would inevitably be in chaos, and the royal family's forces would take advantage of the weakness, and it would be easy to control the entire territory.

But now, his son was attacked and beheaded to show the public, and Sally, who should have died, made a declaration alive, and even made Evta directly stand on the opposite side of the royal family!

Mirno suspected that she was suffering from some kind of madness - although Evta's territory was not small, it was not able to reach the top level in the kingdom in terms of economy, military affairs, or population. , coupled with geographical factors, the food output is not comparable to these places in the central and southern kingdoms at all, and she can't figure out why she did this!

As long as the royal family simply controls the trade delivery to Ivta, and suppresses and excludes her from all aspects, I am afraid that she will be able to admit defeat obediently without using force...

But now he didn't have time to wonder if Sally was crazy, he should be more concerned about his place in Charles II's heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that... It's an indisputable fact that she is so self-defeating, and Ifuta's strong outside is an indisputable fact, I'm afraid there are too many coincidences involved in this incident, but now that it's such a situation, then I'll definitely clean her up..."

Mirno could only bite the bullet and pack the ticket, he was actually very messed up in his heart. The only son was beheaded, and not only did he have nowhere to vent, but he even had to force his anger to continue to deal with these messy things, and no one in his position could be so calm.

As the king, Charles II naturally will not put all the responsibility on his subordinates, and his way of being a royal is also good, after squinting and listening to Mirno for a long time, he finally waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I shouldn't be angry with you." That's it, I'm afraid you know better than me what to do next... I await your results. ”

Mirno, who knew that this was the so-called "imperial trick", was still impressed by Charles II's way of dealing with it, bowed his head and made several promises, and then hurried out of His Majesty's study.

For him, avenging his son is probably the only thing he will do for the rest of his life.

Charles II's gaze lowered slightly, and there was no emotion on Furui Wubo's face. Although the "cooperation" with the undead has gone so far, it is not something he cannot bear. The kingdom of Karen is so big, what if some nobles die in a city?

Compared to his ambitions, this is nothing more than a trivial matter, on the contrary, such a toss in Evtata is a good opportunity for him to take advantage of the opportunity to reunify.

"What should be gone will eventually disappear, and what should be replaced will be replaced. ”

Sighing casually, Charles II's gaze glanced at the map of the territory on the other side of the wide study, and slowly closed his eyes again.

Ambition is such a thing, and no one in a position will lack it.

However, the silence in the study did not last long, and an unexpected message opened Charles II's eyes - "The envoy of the Rasiman Kingdom has visited?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the envoy's ship has just entered the territorial waters, and a ship, a ship... to hand over the letter. ”

The squire's slightly stammering words made Charles II frown slightly: "If there is anything you haven't said, say it together." ”

"Your Majesty, he, their ship... It didn't sail in the water," the attendant swallowed and said in a very low voice, "According to the non-commissioned officer of the port, the ship sailed in mid-air by magic, and it was not until it was almost at the port that it was controlled by the mage above and fell back into the water..."

"Flying ships, mages?"

Charles II was shocked when he heard this, but after all, he had a deep city, so he just sat up straight and no longer had any unnecessary movements, and only after two or three seconds did he stretch out his hand and say, "Give me the letter, you can retreat first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The study was quiet, but Charles II was in a daze for a long time with the letter, for he realized that there seemed to be something unusual behind this seemingly ordinary "envoy visit".

The kingdom of "Rasiman" is not a neighbor, but a country across the sea from the kingdom of Karen. During the reign of Charles II's grandfather, there were envoys from this country that always spoke with a curly tongue. Pushing back further, it seems to have dealings with several countries that were the predecessor of the Kingdom of Karen, but the most recent one has been a long time ago, and it should have been forty years ago, if it weren't for Charles II, a monarch who likes to look through the annals of history, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be clear where it is.

However, it was precisely because of that history that Charles II felt that something was wrong - he remembered that the Rasiman Kingdom was founded on religion, and the establishment of the "Pit Viper Cross" had some connection with the Rasiman Kingdom at the earliest, and during the state visit forty years ago, Rasiman's envoys said that they were "in a crisis of faith and are fighting against a group of crazy and evil magicians".

But now it seems that I am afraid that the kingdom of Rasiman has said goodbye to "religion".

Thinking so, Charles II tore open the letter in his hand, and saw a large arcane rune mark slowly activating. The rhythm of the elements permeated the surroundings, and the seemingly empty letter paper gradually formed a regular line of text from the condensed elements of various colors.

The carving of the "Constant Elemental Condensation" circle on a thin piece of paper is undoubtedly a show of strength, but Charles II is not a high-level magician, he probably just thinks this way of writing letters is quite creative, shakes the letter and continues to read.

"The founding of the country? This kind of shop meaning..."

He gently folded the colorful letter paper, his gaze deepening.
