Chapter 110: First Strike

The old man smiled and looked at Donald and said angrily, then clapped his hands and praised:

"Sure enough, you are so courageous, you are worthy of the candidate that His Majesty values, with you in North County for a day, a guy like Macbeth should not be able to jump for long! As for the eldest prince's side, I think he should not have intervened yet, it is estimated that he will only let Macbeth be responsible for solving your potential threat, if Andrew intervenes, even Messer may not be able to protect you!"

Although Donald thought that the old man was a bit alarmist, he still humbly asked: "Is your bad news that the eldest prince is ready to deal with me personally? I am also an official hereditary nobleman, and I have not violated any kingdom laws, even if he is a prince, he can't do anything to me, right?"

"Of course not, you think so, you don't know how terrible Andrew is!"

The silver-haired old man said with a hint of fear and deep regret:

"Not to mention his own hidden strength, just the power he has under his command, there are at least more than five silver powerhouses alone, and they are also connected with some powerful foreign forces. It shows that the force behind him may be very powerful, and there must be a terrible inside story hidden in it. Maybe because it is estimated that the situation on the surface is stable, he doesn't dare to move those big nobles, but a local nobleman like you, the sudden disappearance of one or two will not affect the overall situation, even if it is a silver powerhouse, he can solve it without much effort!"

Donald, who had never seen an old man look like this, had no doubt about the veracity of what he said, but he was also shocked by the great power hidden by the Grand Prince. Before he could figure it out, Onge told another secret that surprised him:

"There is another secret to reveal to you, and this secret has not been revealed at all, except for a few people such as me and His Majesty. I suspect that Andrew himself is at least a silver powerhouse!"

"What?"

Donald couldn't believe it, Prince Andrew hadn't seen it before, and from a distance, that prince should be about the same strength as his brother, both of them had probably just entered the bronze rank, even if there were some secret methods, they should not be able to go beyond the bronze boundary. If a person wants to become a silver powerhouse, there are no special circumstances, even if the talent is high, and he starts cultivating since he was a child, he has to be at least in his thirties, although the eldest prince is about ten years older than him, but it is also a lot worse than that age. This is the same for both mages and swordsmen, and without a solid foundation, it is impossible to climb to the heights of the Silver Rank.

Of course, there are exceptions like Donald, some external means can also make people advance quickly, but the conditions required by those means are undoubtedly extremely difficult to achieve, not that money can buy them, even a prince needs chance, and he must have a certain cultivation foundation to finally achieve his goal.

Donald was skeptical.

I heard the old man continue:

Although he has never performed in front of outsiders in the past few years, no one knows his strength, because those who know are already dead. However, with my intuition and the information I have gathered from various aspects, I am seventy percent sure that in addition to practicing the secret art of royal inheritance like the second prince, Andrew has other abilities in his body. It's just that he's hidden too deep and barely revealed, so I can't get accurate information either!"

"If it weren't for His Majesty the King behind his back, with Andrew's ruthless methods, I'm afraid that based on this guess alone, I don't know where to throw my life away!"

"Your Majesty knows all of this, and knows more than I do!, but because Andrew has not done anything detrimental to the kingdom at present, he has always tolerated him to accumulate strength. His Majesty thinks that as long as he is legitimately competing for the throne and does not use any malicious means, as a future candidate for king, it is also a good thing for Celt to have some power under his command!"

Hearing this, Donald suddenly glanced at Ungerva meaningfully and asked:

"Do you think so, sir?"

The silver-haired old man couldn't help but feel even more appreciative of this young man's mind when he saw that his mind was so sharp, and he said, "To tell you the truth, although I am loyal to Your Majesty, I do not agree with Your Majesty's opinion. However, although Andrew's mother was only an insignificant lover of His Majesty when he was young, and it was an accident that he was able to conceive, Andrew was his first son in the end......"

Donald continued, "Are you worried that the father-son relationship will sometimes block out His Majesty's perception?"

Angwa sighed and said:

"Yes, this is also a difficult time for us at Celt. If His Majesty had only one son, Andrew, or the second prince had not been so good, and Andrew had been able to ascend the throne smoothly, the situation might have been better. But because of his mother's low status and his early death, Andrew has been despised and ridiculed a lot since he was a child, so the child's temperament has always been gloomy. Of course, His Majesty thinks that is a sign of steady. But since a case more than ten years ago, I have become suspicious of this prince!"

"At that time, I was just a court guard officer at His Majesty's side, and because I was still alert, I was sent to investigate the disappearance of the maid. In the course of this investigation, I discovered a strange secret, that is, the missing maids had gossiped about Andrew's mother and had a bad relationship with the lady. And when these maids disappeared for no reason, Andrew, who was only ten years old at the time, had no exact alibi, but what could a ten-year-old child do? Moreover, the palace ladies were all missing outside the palace, and young Andrew was not allowed to leave the palace. ”

"I have always kept this secret deep in my heart, and I have not even told His Majesty. I didn't know the exact situation, but the suspicion in my heart made me can't help but arrange for a maid to spy on the eldest prince, but a year later, just after discovering something, before I could report it to me, the maid was executed by Andrew on an excuse, and from that time on, I knew that the child's soul had deviated far from the word good and right. ”

"Now the military and the Ansel family are supporting the orthodox Durui, and in a head-to-head battle, Andrew's chances of winning are not great, so I'm worried that he will break the kettle and use the power beyond the bottom line of the kingdom, once the taboo is violated, at that time, no matter whether he succeeds in ascending to the throne or not, those of us who are regarded as obstacles by him will be ordered to eradicate in advance, and the end will probably be very miserable!"

After learning so many secrets at once, Donald said with some sighs:

"I didn't expect that I had tried to keep a low profile, and the trouble would still come to the door by itself. It seems that I should be more prepared, but if the silver is strong, as long as the other party doesn't dispatch more than five at once, I think I should be able to deal with it!"

Seeing that he had said so much, Donald still had such confidence, and Ungerva couldn't help but wonder if he had regressed a little in intelligence work, otherwise how could he not even spy on all the hole cards of this young man?

"I said this just to make you mentally prepared, Andrew is now busy competing for the throne, and for the time being, he should not be able to take care of a small role like you and me that has little impact on him, but once His Majesty leaves, many strong people who joined the royal family because of His Majesty will not continue to serve, so no one can suppress his ambitions, although the Ansel family has that ability, but they will not interfere too much in the affairs of the royal family, at most they will only come forward to ensure the safety of the queen and the second prince and maintain the stability of the kingdom!"

Donald nodded in understanding, although he didn't like these intrigues, it didn't mean that he couldn't understand.

"Let's talk about the bad news I brought you!"

"According to my analysis, Macbeth's frequent actions in the past two days indicate that he has probably decided to completely remove you as a threat!"

"Sir, do you mean that these little harassments are just to confuse and paralyze me?"

"Yes, I can't gather information about Andrew's secret forces, but Macbeth's shallow means are not in my eyes. Almost every move of their family is under my watch. I know that Macbeth has arranged for his men to go to the mainland on several occasions and has been associated with an Assassin Order. Two days ago, he sent someone to the port to spread the news, and then he started these harassing actions against you, so I guess the real operation should start soon, so you have to be careful these days!"

"It's okay, thank you sir, for informing me personally, although my relationship is only because of the transaction, but with the threat of Andrew, I can be regarded as a person in the same camp, so if there is any difficulty, I will definitely do my best to help!"

The silver-haired old man nodded.

"I have taken everything you said to heart, the road ahead is difficult, but I am more optimistic about you, and I have already pressed the coffin on you, so don't fall, I plan to wait for everything to return to calm, sell a manor in North County, and be your neighbor!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then parted at the street corner.

After returning to the Lord's Palace, several of the subordinates who went out to suppress the riots all returned, and briefly reported the situation, and sure enough, as Ungerwa said, they were all petty harassments, and the prisoners had already been taken in for interrogation, most of them were local vagrant ruffians in North County, and many of them confessed that someone had paid them to come and make trouble.

Having this resolved, Donald ordered Barntick to step down, and Mage Roussel told him to go back to rest, leaving only Uther and Kael'thas as the two summoned heroes in the room.

Telling the news that the silver-haired old man had brought to the two men, Donald asked:

"What do you guys think about that?"

Although these two are relatively quiet to outsiders, they are more intelligent than ordinary people, and can be said to be Donald's right and left hands.

Then Uther thought about it for a moment and said:

"Andrew should have a while before he intervenes, the threat over there can not be considered for the time being, in a month or two, I can be promoted to the silver rank, if I find a few more bronze subversive powerhouses that can be trusted, and use the power of the Book of Truth to promote them to silver strength, then the second prince should not be able to threaten us in terms of force, I am afraid that the other party will take other ways to endanger the safety of the territory." As for Macbeth......"

Kael'thas took the words coldly and spit out five words: "Strike first!"

When it comes to their enemies, their blood elves have always been merciless.

Donald clapped his hands and said:

"I think so too, the Macbeth family has always been a threat, and I originally intended to fight them head-on, and in a few years with the momentum of our territory, we will be able to drag them down. But it seems that the other party can't wait, since they are pressing step by step, there is no need to endure it anymore, and I am not the kind of pedantic person who has to reason with others when I am hit on the door. ”

"Uther's idea, there should be a certain degree of feasibility, I already have a plan and candidates in mind, and when the current threat of Macbeth is solved, I will start this plan, and at the same time, we must vigorously improve the strength of the territory, but this time I will try not to summon new warriors, but to improve on the basis of the original manpower. As for the loyalty of these people, we still need your secret attention, so as not to raise a white-eyed wolf to bite us!"

Uther and the two nodded solemnly. Then Donald looked up at the sky outside the window and said:

"Without further ado, we will take action tonight, lest the enemy preempt it!"
