The overthrow of the Sean clan minimized the negative impact under the joint suppression of the royal family and the government cabinet, and the Baron Rod Custer with the rank of Legion Commander was one reason, but the bigger reason was:

The world war, the treasury is empty, and the Sean family has been doing business for many years, and the country is rich.

Moreover, the reputation of this people is very poor.

The destruction of the Sian family would greatly alleviate the financial crisis of the Duchy of St. Rudin, and would not cause a political backlash against everyone.

In the next half month, the major newspapers in the country reported on the crimes of the Sean family one after another, and tried their best to make them traitors and evildoers with political force, and forever nailed them to the pillar of shame in the country's history.

But even in this case, the eldest son of this family still managed to abscond abroad, and in the process of pursuing him, the surrounding nobles and consortia close to the Sean family were also affected, and the power of the big chaebols and big businessmen suddenly withered by one-third in this country.

"In times of peace and prosperity, of course, conglomerates and businessmen are needed to prosper the economy and revitalize the country, but in this time when there is a shortage of soldiers and food, wealth and power need to be further concentrated, so that more powerful combat power can be put into the frontline battlefield. Slapping the thick stack of newspapers on the table, Egula Helsing said to the man sitting in front of her.

"Your original marquisate and title have been temporarily shelved from above, don't you think it's a pity to lose the honor you got after a bloody battle for the sake of a pair of Norseen father and son who will be slaughtered sooner or later?"

(That feeling really doesn't ...... I'm not going to live with you for hundreds of years. ）

Three shots rang out at the same time that night, but after all, Zhu Peng, who was the closest and most powerful, blew up Norseen's fat head with a jackal and gained a lot of power of fate.

That's all, and this wave is well worth it for him.

"Has the situation on the frontline battlefield become tense to such an extent? Because of this case, dozens or hundreds of big chaebols have been killed and punished one after another, and it is already very ugly for the royal family to eat like this, the consortium has collapsed, a large number of workers have lost their jobs, all kinds of daily necessities will become less and less, and the people's living standards will decline, step by step...... Chain reaction. ”

"Poor countries are more fearless of fighting to the death, and turbulent social conditions make it easier to recruit soldiers, and at a small salary, a large number of skilled workers are transferred to the national factories that produce war materials...... You're right, the front line was defeated, but it wasn't the Western Demon Alliance that won, but the ...... that sprung up all over the continent Worm Man. With that, Egula Helsing opened the drawer, took out a cowhide folder and handed it to Zhu Peng.

Reaching out and taking it open, he pulled out a large stack of documents on defeat and requests for military support, as well as a few black-and-white military photographs:

It is indeed a worm man, a half-human, half-worm, or a human worm head, and a strange existence that has the life characteristics of both humans and insects. One of the most striking photographs is of a female insect man covered in exoskeleton worms, standing in the midst of the raging insect tide around her, wielding a purple-black foot thorn like a war spear, and commanding the various insects and beasts around her to charge a human army.

"The vast majority of the strange unknown races that emerge from the ground are giant alien insects with no intelligence, but the few insects with human forms are high-level nobles, or the brains of this race. There are not too many gushes out of the territory of the Duchy of St. Rudin, and the pirate country of Saiga next to it, their country is directly engulfed by the insect tide gushing out of the ground, and the most disgusting thing is that this race also has the ability to 'assimilate', and many people have no abnormal changes in appearance and behavior after being parasitized by the Zerg, so that there is no warning when they rebel, and it is difficult to prevent. At this point, the silver-haired Countess paused, and then she continued to say to Zhu Peng:

"The town of Noka, where you lived temporarily, also poured out of the depths of the mine, but the number was very small, and the strength you left there before you left was also very strong, so it was forcibly suppressed, and it was one of the few places where the insects appeared without a large-scale massacre. ”

“...... Before, because of mining, I did exert some influence on that place, but I didn't know at the time that it would affect the arrival of the Zerg, there was a demon alliance army of the three Western countries on the front line, and now there was a sudden appearance of the underground Zerg, so it is no wonder that the royal family had to adjust the country to a wartime state. "The people on this continent do not have the concept of an alien invasion, they can only forcibly explain the appearance of the insects as the underground life forms of this world.

Unbeknownst to them, this concept of unity affects the original will of the entire world, and instead reduces the repulsion effect on invaders.

For the National Royal Knights, led by the legion leader Egula Helsing and even the ruling team leader Rod Custer, it is faintly as the last private army of the royal family, and it also has a huge role in defending the royal capital, and the main task before was to deal with the undead led by the Night Clan, and the existence of such as resentful spirits and ghouls also belongs to the category of knightly power processing, and now it is necessary to add the invasion of parasitic people.

In general, salaries have not increased, but the workload has increased.

The originally planned ten-year Academy War was made a mess by the alien invasion of the Zerg clan that suddenly crashed in, and now the entire Black Castle is still shrouded in a strange white mist, once accidentally touched a little, it will walk into the fog without looking back, and then die.

From the lowest-level apprentice to a certain prestigious legendary archwizard, it was all like this, but it was also very normal to think about it, it was a feast specially prepared by the Babel Wizard Tower for the fourth-order existence.

The bloody trial will obviously not be interrupted by the invasion of the heterotopic plane, so now the wizards of the Santiago continent have to deal with the invasion of a relatively unfamiliar environment and a fourth-order high civilization without support, and the wizards originally gathered more in the Western Continent, but the Western Continent is a double outbreak area of demon war and insect plague, and gradually, the wizards began to migrate to the relatively stable Eastern Continent.

In times of peace, these solitary and mysterious spellcasters will often choose to live alone, or lead a few followers to retreat to the mountains and forests, because the resources in a certain area are limited, and wizards, especially dark wizards, do not like to gather in groups.

But in today's continental environment where wars are raging, gunpowder smoke is filled, poisonous gas obscures the sun, and artillery fire tears the clouds, they will choose the metropolises of various countries instead.

Because as long as there are enough humans around to cover them, whether it is facing war or an alien insect plague, wizards have a much higher chance of survival than ordinary humans.

The Duchy of St. Rudin is not considered a weak country in the Eastern Continent, especially in recent years due to the reorganization of the regime due to war, the central power is highly centralized, and the royal capital is guarded by five ace mechanics, which is a military force that can deal with threats in a general sense.

So many wizards went here...... Then they were named one by one by the Royal National Order.

After several rounds of political battles during this period, although it can be regarded as an outsider, Zhu Peng still watched the political arena of St. Rudin, you sing, we sing.

However, just in terms of the current political situation, the one who laughed the most at the end was actually the elderly queen, who gradually reorganized and seized the power she had lost, and then ruled the country with high prestige and sophisticated political skills, resisted the Western coalition forces, suppressed the spread of the insect plague, and even swept away the rebel rebellion with iron and blood.

The brainpower and vitality represented behind that series of decrees made Zhu Peng frown faintly from the outside...... may be because of Egula Helsing's relationship, the old queen's unusually trusting of herself, and with this level of trust, Zhu Peng even obtained the mobilization authority of an ace mechanic.

This force does not belong to the Royal Knights of the State, nor to Rod Custer, but Zhu Peng has two signed empty orders in his hands, and he can pull an army into the city anytime and anywhere in the name of the queen.

The modern mechanical troops are actually infantry and tan cooperative combat troops, this kind of mortal army is useful, and it is difficult to enter the legendary rank under the premise that the conditions are not sufficient.

But it's useless to say it, the legendary powerhouse is known as one enemy and one army, but it has never been said that it will definitely be able to win. If you have to give an example, there are not a few legends who have been beaten to death by mortal armies for some reasons.

One afternoon, Royal Library of the Duchy of St. Rudin.

Entering and exiting the royal library at will and even reading the forbidden books in the secret room is one of the conditions for Zhu Peng to agree to come to Revere, the royal ancestor of the Duchy of St. Rudin is a wizard, in fact, this is also the origin of most of the royal family on this continent, and the bloodline who has no spiritual power or even cultivation talent is abandoned on this continent by wizards, because of the privilege and the little power given by the ancestors, either to become a royal family or to become a great nobleman.

Therefore, in the closed room of the Royal Library, there are actually a lot of papers and classics that need to be read at a high price in Blackcastle Academy, although some of them are mutilated, and some of them are even fallacious, but they are still enough to enrich the knowledge reserve.

Today I was very fortunate that the phone at the desk never rang, which means that there is nothing urgent.

It wasn't until dusk that Zhu Peng finished copying the last stroke, closed the thick black-shelled book on the table, and then walked out with his witchcraft notes in his hands.

In the process, I saw a slender and thin young man in a Chinese robe leaning on a stone pillar looking at a biography of a knight, limited to his current identity, Zhu Peng didn't want to pass over directly as if he didn't see it.

When he came to the front of the second prince, he was going to say hello and leave, but the delicate young man in the gorgeous robe was really immersed in the books and words in his hand, Zhu Peng probably stood beside him for nearly two minutes, coughed lightly, and he suddenly woke up and reacted.

"If you don't leave, this place will be closed. She is in charge of this place by a very stern and fat old lady, and it is said that she has a friendship with the Queen, and I don't think we need to touch her moldy head. ”

"Uh...... Of course, thank you Viscount Castel for the reminder. "Because of the headshot incident at the banquet, Zhu Peng's original marquis and territory were cut, and his title was cut to a viscount, and the territory was not there.

However, now there is probably not a single nobleman on this continent who can still manage his own territory with peace of mind.

Zhu Peng and the second prince Jerle walked out of the royal library together, and in the process of walking side by side with each other, Jer's mouth suddenly spoke: "Viscount Caster, do you believe it? I never thought of competing for the throne with my eldest brother...... Although I say so, you may think that I am very hypocritical. ”

“...... No, I take your word for it. When he said this, Jer, who was next to Zhu Peng, was obviously stunned for a moment, and Zhu Peng didn't care about him, and continued to say while walking out: "A person who is obsessed with power can no longer have happiness that is completely immersed in the knight's biography. ”

Zhu Peng said these words sincerely.

People like the eldest prince Lokov and the second prince Gyer beside him, people like them who have not undergone special training will not be able to lie successfully around people like Zhu Peng, because the physical characteristics of normal people who lie have been compiled into a booklet and handed over to every Dan master of the Chinese Warrior Association.

With these mastered, coupled with powerful insight and perception, every Dan Master is simply a humanoid lie detector, and ordinary people can't hide it at all when they lie.

"You...... If you want to believe me, can you please convey my meaning to the eldest brother on my behalf, I have never wanted to compete with the eldest brother for the throne, and in my eyes, the eldest brother is the best candidate for the throne. ”

"The point is not what you think, but what the people around you think, what the nobles who support you think, and even ...... What did she think, Queen. ”

"You cherish the friendship between your brothers, but Your Majesty thinks that you are her best successor, and those nobles behind you have also seen through this, they are speculating, and they also believe in Your Majesty's vision. Therefore, it doesn't matter what you think, Your Highness, and I can't convey that precious kindness to you. Smiling sideways, Zhu Peng patted the shoulder of the young man beside him who was a little stunned, and then he boarded the carriage of the National Emperor Knights and left first.

During this period of time, because the eldest prince Lokov helped himself carry the vat at the banquet, many nobles naturally thought that they were on the side of the eldest prince Lokov.

And Zhu Peng doesn't care much about this kind of factional dispute in the political arena, everyone thinks that the mistress of this country will die soon, but Zhu Peng feels that this queen, if there is no accident, I am afraid that she will live longer and longer than those guys who are currently active in the political arena.

And, as an outsider, there is no point in betting.

At present, Zhu Peng is only using the power in his hands to make his group live more calmly and comfortably, not that he really cares about this power.
