The statement of the past of the Principality of Thousand Lakes has come to an end.

It's simple.

Doran and Hillman and his sons launched a rebellion, and they took a group of noble supporters with them to seize the throne and let Margrethe III go to rest sick.

coincided with Margrethe III's impact on the tenth-order demigods, and the whole person fell into the most hysterical state of madness because of the influence of Hydra's bloodline.

Ferdinand, who temporarily took charge of the administrative power of the empire, never dreamed that his own brother would lead troops to attack.

Ferdinand was seriously injured and took refuge in the Hydra Palace, relying on the Hydra guards and palace defenses to resist it.

Salian received the news as soon as he could, Joe's mother, sent the main force of the Lan camp, together with the most elite knights of the Principality of Thousand Lakes, to escort Salian back to the Deren Empire, transfer troops to the king, and quell the rebellion.

In the process, the elite Delen Empire field division stationed in the Principality of Thousand Lakes, the field division under the command of Lao Mai's youngest son, directly followed Hillman's orders to besiege and intercept Salian, and strive to keep him in the Principality of Thousand Lakes.

A bloody hunt and kill......

After all, Salian still ran back to the Delenn Empire, he gathered a group of loyal Margrethe III Teutonic troops, urged the army, and activated some of the imperial royal cards, and finally suppressed the rebellion of the Doran father and son.

And Qiao Lingxi, who was all the elites around him, was also attacked by the rebellion of his own family.

A part of the garrison of the Delen Empire, in cooperation with some careerists of the Principality of Thousand Lakes, launched an attack on the Thousand Lakes Castle.

……

Young Gorkin takes refuge in the burning castle with Joe in his arms. It rained heavily, and Joe, who had just been born, was ravaged by the heavy rain for most of the night, and immediately developed a high fever.

This is the main reason why Joe's braincase is not good to use before the age of eighteen.

Qiao Lingxi was killed in the castle, and Hesse, the head of Qiao Lingxi's guard and coachman, and her maid leader Leah, fought hard to break through the encirclement, and escaped with their sons Gorkin and Joe, as well as a small number of Qiao Lingxi's retainers.

……

"They didn't come looking for you!" Joe looked at Salian and winked, "Instead, they contacted Vigral. ”

"Because of the treatment of the murmuring of them, as well as ...... Disposition of the Principality of Thousand Lakes. Salian's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously avoided Joe's gaze: "Doran is just exiled, and Hillman is imprisoned...... But the Principality of Thousand Lakes, due to the situation at that time, it was your mother's cousin who succeeded her cousin, and he had the absolute right to inherit. ”

"And we can't find any evidence that her cousin murdered your mother."

"And I, because of my ...... and your mother's Relationship...... The Empire has just experienced a major upheaval...... My father, your grandfather, His Royal Highness Ferdinand, the Crown Prince, who was seriously wounded in the rebellion, was a little disheartened and deliberately debauched......"

"In that case, I can't have any ...... on me"

Joe interrupted Salian: "I see, I can understand, in that case, a wild child, is not to be recognized......"

"I thought you died in the Thousand Lakes Castle!" Salian scolded: "If Vigrar they didn't hide ......"

"No, even if they didn't hide it and listened to your tone, at that time, you wouldn't have made a big fuss about the Principality of Thousand Lakes...... For the sake of the stability of the Empire, I know. ”

"Even, you have the firstborn son Isaac. In that case, it is impossible to have another feral child to threaten his inheritance. What's even more frustrating is because of my mother's death...... Your serious wife, she probably did something to me. ”

Joe shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "You see, I'm smart now, and I can understand the tricky situation you faced back then...... So, Hesse and Leah took me and hid in the port of Tulum. ”

"When they fled, they must have taken some of the wealth of the Principality of Thousand Lakes with them."

"Mr. S. Sterns, I think my mother's retainer is right? And the old men of the family, I have always wondered that they have a strange loyalty to the Vetul family, and now it seems that they are all my mother's retainers, and their allegiance is not to the Vetul family, but always to me. ”

"It's no wonder that when I was a child, no matter what trouble I caused, it was Gorkin and Tifa who ended up being beaten."

"It's no wonder that when I grow up, no matter what trouble I get into, it's Weima who is with me who gets beaten."

"No matter what, with that fortune, a group of loyal retainers, and Uncle Grimface's terrifying strength......"

Salian kept nodding: "That's right, Commander Lan's strength is extremely terrifying...... When the chaos was quelled, it was he who took action and assassinated the nineteen generals of the unified army around him, so that his rebel command was completely chaotic...... Even he, with his own hands, hit ......"

Joe interrupted Salian, "Wait, he's so strong, why is he burned like that?" ”

There was a hint of trembling in Salian's voice: "After quelling the chaos, I learned the news of your mother's death in battle, he stabbed me and left with all the Lan Ying's subordinates and those knights of the Thousand Lakes Principality......"

"It is said that because I heard that your mother was with the burning castle...... So, he set fire to half of his body...... This guy ......."

Salian looked at Joe and said in a deep voice, "He used half of his body to make amends to your mother, and used the remaining half of his body to continue to work for you...... The Eastern philosophy of loyalty, sometimes, I really can't understand. ”

Joe looked at Salian in a daze.

After a while, he sighed...... The past is like the wind, and it is gone.

No matter how many untold insider stories have happened in the past, in short, things are ultimately just that.

Hesse and Leah led the people to the port of Tulum.

There is money, there are people, there is enough power.

With the deliberate maintenance of Vigral and the protection of the Duke of Rus, whom he helped to thread the needle, the Ritu family took root and grew up in the port of Tulun, and in just a dozen years, it developed into the uncrowned king of the port of Tulun.

Ahead, there was a dull sound of gunfire.

The airship slowed down, and finally hovered above a trench and barbed wire.

At a glance, in the east-west direction, layers of snake-bellied barbed wire have been stretched for hundreds of miles, and the blades of the barbed wire emit a dazzling cold light in the sun.

Behind the barbed wire, three successive trenches were separated by half a mile, also extending hundreds of miles in an east-west direction.

Countless soldiers in various uniforms, looking at the insignia on their bodies, there are the army of the Delenian Empire, the marines of the Ice Sea Kingdom, and the army of the Republic of Gaul...... It is also possible to see the armies of several other powerful countries mixed in.

The soldiers lay on their stomachs in the trenches, armed with sniper rifles with lengthened and weighted barrels, and the muffled sound of gunfire rang out from time to time.

In the plains to the south, groups of abyssal creatures of different skin colors roamed and ran wildly, occasionally firing at each other.

As long as they dared to get within a mile of the defensive line, with the dull sound of gunfire, a little blood would appear on the knees and arms of these abyssal creatures.

These abyssal creatures who have been shot will 'whoop' and turn their heads and run, and even the large group of companions around them will flee backwards in panic.

Salian pointed to the fleeing abyssal creatures and said in a deep voice: "Now that's it, we don't dare to kill them in large numbers, we can only rely on accurate shooting to kill them in large numbers......"

"Those old gods of the church judge that the abyss consciousness has not yet reached its peak state, if there is a large number of killings and casualties at this moment, it will become stronger and stronger with the sacrifice of those flesh and blood......

"Half a month ago, on the Eastern Front, a Prince of Lucia recklessly counterattacked, led a regiment of heavy cavalry, and crushed an army of abyssal lizardmen...... As a result, the abyssal consciousness was greatly improved, and it actually condensed an active volcano in its place, and the active volcano that suddenly erupted engulfed the damned Prince Lucia and his cavalry regiment, and even flooded the surrounding three cities! ”

Salian put his hands behind his back, looked down at the soldiers who kept shooting in the trench below, and sighed lightly: "Now, we can only do this, the eastern, western, and northern fronts all rely on these large-caliber sniper rifles to surround and not kill those abyssal creatures. ”

"It's passive." Joe scratched his head.

"Very passive." Salian spread his hands: "So, these days, our defense line is constantly being broken through, and the defense line is constantly retreating...... We gave orders to the soldiers to protect themselves as much as possible and not to die needlessly on the battlefield. ”

Salian shrugged his shoulders: "The soldiers of the Empire, there was once a division with a casualty ratio of seventy-nine percent and a record of holding the position to the death...... But now, as soon as the creatures of the abyss come within a hundred feet of them, the Imperial soldiers turn around and flee......"

"A lot of old Teutons have slapped the table and roared at least a hundred times for this kind of embarrassing thing." Salian sighed, "But what can be done? Until we find a way to deal with the abyssal consciousness, that's all we can do! ”

"So, the church, or Al, have they found a way?" Joe looked at Salian curiously.

Salian's face twitched.

He was silent for a while, and then said coldly: "The church said that as long as their god awakens, they will definitely be able to suppress the abyss. ”

And the elders of El said...... Once the gods awaken, it will bring about the destruction of all of Metland......"

"The quarrels and brawls between them have been going on for a long time."

Salian looked at Joe with a wry smile: "In addition to them, in the territory of the Southern Special District that has now fallen, there are also believers of heretical churches such as the Hill Church and the Corrupted Spirit. ”

"It's chaotic, we don't know what to do."

"If it weren't for the assistance of the Crying Legion returning from the City of God Cry, uh, to be honest, I suspect that these abyssal creatures have swept through the southern part of the empire."

As soon as Salian finished speaking, in a jungle in the distance, a group of abyssal creatures dozens of feet tall and holding wooden staff rushed out.

They chanted incantations aloud, and with the swing of their staffs, room-sized balls of lava fireballs whizzed and arced towards the defenses.
