Paddington's fate is not up to him!

When Schaumberg and Old Jean respectively pulled out their backers and turned the internal strife in the kingdom into a dispute between Audria and the Samoan Empire, the fate of the country was doomed.

The noble ministers in the palace hall were still heavily guarded, and the foreign minister of Samoa, Fiodore, and the captain of Thomas, of Audria, went to the next secret room to negotiate, and they were noisy, and Schaumberg and old Jean became companions.

Fiodore and Thomas are arguing fiercely, doing everything possible to secure favorable conditions for their empire. Old Jean and Schaumberg looked at each other for a long time, and they both saw a wry smile and helplessness in each other's eyes............ I guess no one likes this situation, right?

Neither empire borders Paddington, so they don't have much idea of territory, but they both want to deepen their influence in the kingdom in order to gain some advantage when playing games with each other. But they were stubborn and could not agree with each other, and finally had to accept the fact that Schaumberg's forces controlled the southwest, while the Jeans controlled the other half of the northeast, and the only way was for Paddington to split into two states, each supported by two empires.

After compromising with each other, they signed an entente. Old Jean and Schaumberg's hands trembled as they signed, for they knew that even if they gained more, they would be hated by those who loved Paddington so much, and even what little conscience they had left made them feel a little remorseful for a moment.

If the matter is resolved in this way, war can be avoided, and in fact, everyone can be considered happy. But a cunning orc shaman who is ubiquitous is like a nightmare for Paddington, and even if it wasn't his intention, some of his actions have made the already fragile treaty a piece of paper.

They were already discussing the details of the division of interests, after all, most of the kingdom's wealth was concentrated in the royal city of Padya. Even if Schaumberg were to withdraw from the royal city and return to his southwestern territory, half of his wealth would have to be taken away. Old Jean was a little reluctant, but the entente had been signed, and he had to keep it.

Just then, an Adria soldier burst in with a panicked face and shouted, "Oh no, General Thomas, Tipton...... Earl Tipton was killed in the Academy of Magic ......!"

Thomas stood up with a sigh of relief, his face changed greatly! Others did not know, but as the emperor's confidant, he clearly knew that the Earl of Tipton was really the illegitimate son of His Majesty Anthony, and he was very favored by the emperor. Otherwise, so many members of the Audria royal family did not get the Phantom Crystal Armor, but Earl Tipton, an illegitimate son, had a set of Odin Thunder Eagle Phantom Armor Belt.

As a Phantom Warrior, even if Thomas is at the level of Sky Knight, he still knows very well that he will only be killed in front of Tipton, and he will not even cause much trouble to the other party.

The reason why they went and returned was because the messenger of the old Duke Jean had sent a message to them that there were still a few flamingo phantom eggs in Paddington College. Although the secular empire did not have the strength to hatch phantom beasts, if they got the phantom beast eggs and presented them to the Apocalypse Holy See, they would definitely be able to win the kindness of the Holy See, and because of this, they were finally moved and agreed to Duke Jean's request and turned back. But few people know about this, who killed Tipton?

Thomas subconsciously looked at Fiodore, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Samoan Empire, whose face was cloudy............ Prince Alvin died in Samoa's assassination attempt (though Samoa never admitted it), and now that Tipton had died here in Paddington, he couldn't help but think about it. And most importantly, ...... Even in order to protect himself, Thomas must find a proper reason for himself, otherwise Tipton's death will be taken out on him by the angry old emperor, and the result will definitely not be very good, and even like Alvin's guards at the beginning, it is not impossible to be executed by the whole clan.

"Damn southern pigs, it's all your conspiracy. Thomas's body swelled with white fighting energy, and he had already drawn his adamantite long sword, glaring at Fiodore: "You are here to attract my attention, and then let people assassinate Earl Tipton, are the mongrels of Samoa so despicable and shameless?"

"Northern bison, don't spew blood. Although it is no secret that Tipton is the illegitimate son of your ** old emperor, we in Samoa do not bother to assassinate him. Fiodore was unrelenting, he felt that there must be a misunderstanding here, but out of the pride of the empire and the need for foreign affairs personnel to maintain the dignity of the country, he could not show weakness.

Thomas roared angrily, raised his foot and kicked the long table in front of him to pieces, and pounced on Fiodore with his sword: "I'm tired of listening to your quibbles, let me die!" The white fighting spirit of the Sky Knight smashed the tables and chairs around him, and he was wrapped in a violent aura. Schaumberg and Old Jean are also of the rank of Sky Knight, and although they don't think they are as powerful as Thomas, they still dodge them easily. Only Fiodore, who was a civil official, had never heard of his strength, and in the face of a violent attack, he stood there as if he was stupid, and even showed a trace of an inexplicable sneer!

Thomas soon spotted something wrong, and his furious blow was stopped before he even got close to Fiodore. At this time, a layer of light flashed on Fiodore's body, and then his entire body was covered with light yellow armor, and he was actually wearing phantom crystal armor on his body!

Fiodore's whole body was covered in phantom crystal armor, covered with scale-like light yellow armor, and on his head was a dragon-like skull armor, and there was even a thick tail on his back, which was thick and solid, and his body suddenly more than doubled. With a flick of his tail, he easily knocked the floor out of the pits, and stepped forward with his feet, shattering footprints like cobwebs one by one. "Northern bison, who is going to die?" said Fiodore sneering through the gaps in the skull's armor.

This is the famous [Wurm Phantom Armor] of the Samoan Empire, and their emperor will often reward this Phantom Crystal Armor to loyal henchmen. Without the slightest hesitation, Thomas turned and smashed the door of the chamber and fled. In the face of phantom warriors, fools will be stupid and wait for death.

Schaumberg realized that an opportunity appeared in front of him, and he rushed out of the secret room without hesitation, shouting an order to his subordinates: "Duke Jean plotted a rebellion, take down all their men, and if there are resistors, kill ...... on the spot!" Taking advantage of the sudden change, Schaumberg directly trampled on the agreement that had just been inked. Being able to control the entire kingdom will make an idiot let go of this God-given opportunity!

The palace was in turmoil, and Torrea led his soldiers to raise their spears and swords and pounce on the nobles who were being guarded............ Most of them were commoners, and they had long seen that these arrogant and lascivious nobles were not pleasing to the eye, and took advantage of the riots at this time to start massacring them. The soldiers' idea was very simple: kill these fat pigs, and then when the son of General Schaumberg inherits the throne of Paddington, the reward for these loyal subordinates will be even richer!

Most of the nobles really became pigs, and the fancy martial arts they learned in the academy were flashy, unless those who had cultivated their fighting spirit could have a chance to escape. The rest were methodically slaughtered by elite warriors, men and women, whose spears and swords pierced mercilessly.

Seeing that the scene was out of control, Old Jean sighed in frustration, found his nephew Suarez, and fought his way with a team of loyal soldiers. Suddenly remembered something, searched left and right, but disappeared his daughter Susan and her four children!

The castle market towns northwest of Paddington were all under his control, and he was confident that he would raise enough troops to rival Schaumberg if he broke out of Padja. But only if he needs Susan's son as a puppet, if there is no heir of the former king, what reason can he have to compete with Schaumberg for the kingdom of Paddington?

The situation was critical, Schaumberg's soldiers gathered in large numbers to the palace, those elite soldiers had already formed a battle formation, began to block all the key junctions in the city, and if they didn't leave at this time, it would really be too late! Stamping his feet, the helpless old Jean gritted his teeth and shouted: "We retreat!" led the soldiers gathered around him to rush to the north city. The soldiers defending the city there are his men and will not meet resistance.

........................ Dividing line ........................

Paddington's warriors were still loyal to the former King Craik, and when everyone was watched by Schaumberg's soldiers, Susan hugged her four children in her arms and cowered in a corner in despair and grief. A warrior quietly approached the queen and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I am the nephew of Uncle Urban, how can I help you?"

Susan looked at the soldier in surprise, and sure enough, she realized that it was Urban's nephew. In Paddington, Susan's most trusted person is not her father and cousin Suarez, but King Corek's confidant Urban, and even Urbain's family is a diehard loyalist of the king.

"Quick, get us out of here, I always have a bad premonition, I'm afraid my child will be hurt. Susan said hurriedly to Erban's nephew.

"Please come with me and be silent. The soldier gestured to his companions to the left and right, and then a dozen other men, who were also loyal to the former king, slowly moved to block Susan and the four children. Urban's nephew took the queen and the little princes and fled quietly from the corner of the palace.

They hurried to the watchtower where the princes had escaped during Lind's rebellion, and infiltrated the Academy of Magic through the secret passages there. For some reason, Susan only thought of the orc at this time............ Damn Baroque, you took advantage of me and didn't fulfill your promise to make my child king. I'm going to find you and make you fulfill your promise......!
