Chapter Ninety-Six: The Orc's Trick (1)

Whether it is stirring up civil strife in the kingdom of Paddington or shattering the dreams of the ungrateful Linde, all this is just a matter of Baroque's hand. The reason why he didn't immediately take his people and embark on the journey back to the ancestral land [Northern Tundra] was mainly for two things. The first nature is the fantasy that I held in the first place...... He wants to free his orc brothers who are slaves in the human world, and then take them away as much as he can. It's a pity that although thousands of orcs were gathered later, these guys have completely lost their blood, become cowardly, cowardly, and servile have gone deep into their bones, and Baroque is extremely disappointed, and has to admit that this dream has been shattered!

The other thing is about the totem circle left by the ancestors in the center of the wasteland. That totem array was occupied by the Earth Elemental Sand Giant, and if you wanted to retrieve the remaining five totem poles, you had to destroy the Sand Giant first. The Sand Giant's Achilles' heel is the Elemental Heart in its body, as long as it shatters the Elemental Heart, its massive body will immediately turn into a cloud of sand, and it will no longer be able to pose any threat.

But that sand giant doesn't know how many years it has been entrenched, almost the entire hundreds of acres of quicksand lake, every sand can be controlled by it to form a giant body, to find the elemental heart the size of a fist at most, it is undoubtedly a hundred times more difficult.

What is especially headache is that the sand giant is more than ten meters tall and has a huge physique, even if you can detect the specific location of the elemental heart in the sand giant's body, but you don't dare to get too close, let alone attack the elemental heart, if you are not careful, you will be slapped into minced meat by the giant palm of the sand giant.

Baroque thought of something, the masterpiece of a human magician...... Crafted by mages and dwarven craftsmen, this massive crossbow is equipped with a special cluster of arrows that can range and wreak havoc with incredible power. Even the walls of some small castles will collapse if they can't withstand the attack of a magic crossbow arrow. Unfortunately, this kind of magic crossbow is cumbersome and expensive to make, and only those kingdoms with strong financial backing can have it, and there are not too many of them. Like the royal city of Padeya, even if the city has a magic academy famous on the mainland, it can be said to be blessed. However, they had only erected less than ten magic crossbows at a few key points on the city wall. In this case, Adria's Golden Horn Legion would have chosen to negotiate with Linde rather than storm the walls, and there was no reason why he was afraid of these horrific weapons.

Baroque just wanted a magic ballake...... He's not crazy, although these giant crossbows are heavily guarded, and it's purely a dream to rob them, but it doesn't mean that there really is no chance. Sometimes, the mind is much stronger than brute force, and the gains are much richer!

Celine was still asleep, and Baroque gave her people an important task............ They had all been in Padya before, and although they had barely made it out of the gladiatorial arena, the general location of the city was still understood, and the Baroque told them to go to a mansion somewhere to do something bravado, and the bigger the trouble, the better, of course, provided that the identity of the orcs was never revealed!

Baroque himself quietly followed behind the carriage in which Queen Susan was riding. Lind entered the first banquet in Padja, which was attended by all the nobles who were eligible to attend, and it was much easier for the Baroque to secretly go to General Schomberg without attracting too much attention.

Beautiful women will always be the center of attention at any time and place. When Susan arrived at a royal palace where Linde was holding a banquet, and stepped out of the carriage, all the guests who had come to greet her, even though most of them were already acquainted, could not help but let out a burst of amazement............ So beautiful!

Graceful and luxurious, but charming, there is a melancholy between the eyebrows but can not hide the mature charm. Almost all the male guests were secretly swallowing saliva, slandering Linde's fat man's good fortune. Linde greeted him with a smile on his face, and Susan naturally grabbed his arm, as if they had become husband and wife. Everyone was attracted by the first beauty of Paddington and the fat man Linde, who was about to become king, and a cloaked figure quietly entered the back garden of the palace, and no one noticed it.

The Baroque was looking for Schaumberg, the most important confidant and subordinate of the Duke of Linde, who was now in charge of the defense of the entire royal city, and held a high position. When the elder Jean surrendered to Linde, he also ordered his nephew Suarez to hand over the military power of the Frontier Legion. The Frontier Corps was quickly dispersed by Schaumberg and reorganized with his own 10,000-strong corps, and all the officers and soldiers he was not worried about were invisibly overthrown by the henchmen he was sent to. Schaumberg's ability was unquestionable, and in just a few days, he had roughly taken control of the entire royal city of Padea, except for the Academy of Magic, and all this was a guarantee of Lin Dezhi's complacency and self-confidence.

Strong fortresses are easiest to attack from within, and the Baroque comes from the memory of the earth, and there are too many examples of such things throughout the ages. In the face of the Sauron Continent Terrans, who are still in a semi-feudal and semi-slave state, and are still ignorant, he is confident that he will provoke Schaumberg and make him and Linde turn against each other, if he can simply kill Linde, it will be even better............!

The nobles of the royal capital were having fun in the banquet hall, but unfortunately Schaumberg, who was responsible for the defense of the city, could not participate, he was wearing armor and leading a team of elite soldiers to patrol outside the palace, although almost everyone on the surface surrendered to Linde, but secretly I don't know how many people with ill intentions are peeping, the two days before Linde's coronation are the most critical moments, and he can't be careless.

Outside the palace was business as usual, and Schaumberg breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to return. In fact, he doesn't like to participate in those banquets that are glamorous on the surface but dirty in secret. It's better to go home and stay with your two sons. Schomberg couldn't help but smile at the thought of his two sons, a loving father who loved the two children born to him and Linde's daughter...... This is also the reason why he finally betrayed King Craik, who trusted him immensely, and assisted Linde instead.

Maybe I'm sorry for Craek, but being a father is selfish. Schumberg came from humble beginnings, so he was very eager to give his two sons a noble status, and now he was about to do so. When Lind became King of Paddington, his wife would be made princess, and his two sons would naturally be able to obtain noble titles.

Back at the guard camp, where the patrol soldiers were on shift with others, Schaumberg went into his room, picked up a glass of water and was about to drink water, when suddenly his whole body tensed, as if he were facing a great enemy...... There's someone in the house!

"General Schaumberg, greetings to the Baroque. Baroque was half-reclining on a chaise longue by the fireplace in his bedroom, smiling.

Although the guard camp is not as tight as the military camp outside the city, it is not something that can be entered casually. But the orc not only entered, but even entered the general's room, and the guards outside did not find out, and Schaumberg said that he was not surprised and angry. However, he had always had a kind of jealousy of the orc shaman in front of him, and he always felt that this young orc was too mysterious to make him feel uneasy. If it weren't for Lind's first break of the agreement, his whimsical desire to keep Baroque in the camp of the Adrians, so that he turned against this orc, Schumberg was very reluctant to be an enemy of Baroque in his heart.

"Baroque, you actually dare to enter my barracks, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and hand you over to His Majesty Linde?" Schomberg did not relax his vigilance, his body surged with the white fighting spirit belonging to the Sky Knight, standing not far from Baroque, and asked in a deep voice.

"General Schaumberg, you should know that it was Duke Lind who betrayed me first. As a soon-to-be king, I don't think he wants rumors of collusion with orcs to spread throughout the capital, right?" Baroque said with a smile, fearless. Once the news of Linde's collusion with orcs to ravage the western part of the kingdom of Paddington is revealed, Linde's throne will be unstable.

"You're right in front of my eyes, and if I kill you, the news won't get out. ”

"General Schaumberg, let's not say if you can kill me. Let's talk about you, do you think that you are in a very precarious position at the moment, and you can sit back and enjoy a noble title and great wealth?" said Baroque abruptly.

"Orc, don't stir up trouble between me and His Majesty Linde, put away your treacherous thoughts!" Schomberg knew best what kind of mouth this orc had in front of him, and Lind was able to make up his mind to get out of the gravel wasteland and get all this in front of him, almost all of which came from the mouth of this treacherous orc. Schaumberg was afraid that he would be deceived by him if he had listened to Baroque too much.

"It's sad that you say that, General Schaumberg. Baroque was not angry, and spoke to himself, as if to himself: "My God, after the Duke of Linde is crowned King of Paddington, you will have the greatest merit and will be made a duke, right? Tsk, it seems that you and your wife are bound to become the hottest magnates in Padea, and your son will inherit everything from you, and he will be rich for the rest of his life. But why does it always feel like something is wrong? No, it's not right, it's ridiculous......!"

Baroque muttered this sentence repeatedly, but Schaumberg's curiosity was still aroused, and he subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"

Baroque looked up and smiled happily...... The fish has taken the bait!

"General Schaumberg, have you never thought of a question? King Lind has only one daughter, and that is your wife. But why did he claim to make Korek's child the heir to the kingdom?"

Schaumberg was stunned, he was not from a noble background, he was a dilapidated little nobleman in the countryside. Now that he is in a high position, he is very satisfied, and it is clear that he has never thought about this problem. He said with some hesitation: "My wife is a woman, she should have no inheritance rights, right?"

"Yes, the Paddington Code clearly states that the kingdom can only be inherited by the male royal blood of Paddington. But....... Baroque said with a very serious expression: "But there is also a legal provision under this passage, that is: a female royal family cannot become a king, but if the king has no male heirs, then the direct descendants of their daughters can have the same right to inherit ......." "The Baroque and the people wreaked havoc in the west, and when they stormed a small castle, they accidentally found a copy of the Paddington royal code from the castle owner's study, which was very complicated and detailed, but there was no doubt that when the king had no sons or grandchildren, the daughter's children also had the right to inherit.

Schaumberg's personality was also calm, but he was still shocked by Baroque's words, and he was stunned for a while before stammering: "You...... You mean, my son has the right to inherit the throne?" You can't blame Schaumberg for not even knowing the contents of the royal code, after all, even on earth, everyone knows that there is a constitution, but how many people have delved into that kind of obscure tome?

"Yes, your children have an irrefutable right to inherit the kingdom in law, and if you count them in order, your two sons are the first and second in line, and as for the children left by King Korek...... They are to be placed in order after that. ”
