While the orcs were fighting fiercely, the human side was not idle.

Despite being robbed of four elite legions by the Senate, Evangeline, after her anger, calmed down and continued to form new legions, and she appointed Roxana to preside over everything. Then he made a special trip back to the Bright Mountain to visit Pope Margus. Although the Pope politely declined her request to meet with her, he also allowed his entourage to convey his assurances............ No one will take her army again, and the Pope will have the Holy See allocate some forces and funds to help her, and for the first time explicitly support her in waging war against the Orcs next year.

Relieved of her worries, Evangeline no longer worries that the senator will play tricks, and can finally focus all her energy on Odria and the orcs of the north wind tundra.

Some things don't need to be deliberately understood, but a chance coincidence can often cause a major change in the situation. Princess Vitasia became empress, and although she didn't like the position, the Odrya royal family needed her to support her, and they could only reluctantly make it difficult. Sometimes government affairs are really a headache, and she can't trust those old fox ministers, so she naturally thinks of the holy lady Evangeline behind her, who is keen on this, and goes to ask her for advice.

On this day, Vitasia, as usual, came to visit the Holy Maiden of Evangeline and asked her about the affairs of the Duchy of Hanseas. The Archduke Morrison of the Duchy of Hanseasa died violently, and his sons were also killed, making the succession almost severe. His wife, Susan, had just taken the throne of the Grand Duke, and Susan became pregnant, and her legitimacy was assured. When the civil strife in Odria subsided, Vitasya succeeded her as empress. Naturally, the surrounding vassal states came to congratulate them, and Susan also sent an emissary, hoping to be recognized by Empress Vitasia.

But Count Calvin, who was in charge of the foreign affairs of the Duchy of Lufthansa. But he reported early on everything that happened in the Duchy of Hanseas. He was very suspicious of the strange death of Archduke Morrison and his two sons, and even pointed the finger at Susan herself! Calvin had a good explanation: Susan was once the queen of the kingdom of Paddington, and she must have been keen on power and cunning and resourceful enough. The Highlanders of the Kingdom of Paddington oath allegiance to Susan, with an army of 10,000 Highlanders under their control. And she has a powerful army of orc warriors under her command, led by her mistress, a ranger named Aragon.

With so many powerful strengths, it suddenly appeared in the Duchy of Hansea. Then the Grand Duke Morrison was assassinated, and it is impossible not to be suspicious.

Count Calvin strongly advised not to accede to Susan's request, and to thoroughly investigate the mystery of Archduke Morrison's death. Even he suspected that the child that Susan was carrying was not Archduke Morrison at all. It was led by a ranger named Aragorn. Of course, Calvin didn't know who the child was, so it was all revenge, because Aragon had humiliated him, and Calvin didn't mind retaliating by the way.

Treat the affairs of foreign affairs. Vitasia had no experience. She had no choice but to come to the Holy Maiden and tell Evangeline the truth. It was also destined to happen, at that time, Delta had just returned from the Lando Grassland, bringing back thousands of horses, and Evangeline was being reported by the Marquis of Delta. As the saint's confidant, Delta heard these things, and his heart moved.

"Your Majesty, you speak of Susan of the Duchy of Hanseas. Is it really the former queen of Paddington?" Delta couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm" Vitasia nodded, though she didn't quite like Delta's self-assertive disguise. In fact, she always has evil eyes, but he is the henchman of the saint after all, and said lightly: "Susan is the queen of Paddington, since the fall of the royal family of Paddington, she disappeared for a while, and then suddenly appeared to marry Archduke Morrison of Hanssa. ”

"Your Majesty, do you know who Susan is around? Is there a woman named Celine? is Susan's cousin. And among the orcs, is there one called Baroque?" Delta continued.

"Well, how do you know? According to the intelligence, Susan does have a woman named Celine next to her, and that Celine is also pregnant. As for the orcs named Baroque, I have not heard of them, but the orc warriors who are loyal to Susan are led by two orc warriors named Barrotan and Salomon. Vitasia and Evangeline looked at each other, both of them in amazement. Although Delta said that she was from the Kingdom of Paddington and was a former marquis nobleman. But naturally he couldn't tell all his private affairs, because neither Vitasia nor Evangeline knew that Celine was once his wife.

Delta didn't answer Vitasia's words, he pondered for a while, and then suddenly asked again: "Your Majesty, that ranger Aragorn next to Susan, how much information do you have?"

Caught by Delta, Vitasia thought for a moment and said, "Very little, only know that his name is Aragon, he is a ranger, and then he doesn't know anything, and he hasn't appeared in the Duchy of Hanseasa for a long time, Count Calvin suspects that he may have left." ”

"What is the relationship between Aragorn and the orcs?" Delta was getting closer to the truth, and the orc Barotan knew it...... After all, Barotan had spent time in the gladiatorial arena of the Delta family, and he had an impression of the orc's name.

"It is said that it is very close, and many times the Aragon lives with the orcs, and has little relationship with the other legions like the armies of the Highlanders. Delta, what exactly did you find?" asked Vitasya couldn't help but ask. Evangeline also threw in an inquiring look.

Delta pondered again for a long time, gradually revealing a confident smile, and he looked up at Evangeline: "Your Highness, as far as I know, the orcs around Susan and her cousin Celine are all from the same tribe of the Frostwolf Clan. And the leader of that tribe was an extremely cunning young orc, also named Baroque. If it is the same person, then this orc's ambition is really not small, he is probably already secretly controlling the Duchy of Hansea, and I suspect that Aragorn is actually a disguised ...... of the Baroque!"

Evangeline and Vitasia were taken aback, and the saint stood up and asked solemnly, "Why do you think so? How much do you know about Susan and her cousin Celine, and why are you so sure that the Duchy of Hansa is controlled by orcs?"

Delta couldn't help but have hatred on her face. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Because that Celine used to be my wife, and she betrayed me to fool around with that orc in the Baroque." Even I suspect that the death of Prince Alvin back then could not be disconnected...... It is quite possible that the Baroque is to blame. "The reason why Delta has been incognito in recent years. It was because he was considered by the Audria Empire to be the murderer of Prince Alvin. It can be said that he carried the black cauldron for Baroque. I learned these news by chance today, and after further scrutiny, it is already clear at a glance.

Evangeline thought about it in a flash, scrutinizing these things from beginning to end, and even for the sake of prudence, she called several temple personnel in charge of the intelligence of the northern tundra orcs, and asked in detail about the people around Baroque. Let Delta discern. Angre, Muru, Mute Zainzu...... The appearance of one name after another finally made Delta affirm this fact...... Baroque in the northern tundra. is the Baroque who stirred up trouble in Paddington back then, and the so-called ranger Aragorn who now secretly controls the Duchy of Hanseas.

Even if it was an enemy, Evangeline couldn't help but sincerely admire the Baroque. As a former gladiator slave, he actually had great power in just a few years. Respected and loved by everyone within the Frostwolf Tribe. It even secretly controlled the Duchy of Hansea, which was human...... When you think about it, you will break out in a cold sweat on your back,

Who would have thought that a vassal principality in the hinterland of Odria would be a huge threat? If Odrya and the Frostwolf tribe go to war next year, and the Duchy of Hansa suddenly launches a sneak attack behind the back, then the unprepared empire will definitely fall into chaos, and eventually affect the battle with the orcs, and even a complete rout is not impossible.

Delta has made a great contribution, and Evangeline has not hesitated to praise him. And gestured to Vitasia. The empress immediately promoted him to the title of Marquis of Audria, and explicitly stated that the hidden danger of the Duchy of Hanseasa was solved. There will also be a reward for Delta.

Delta thanked excitedly, and Evangeline found one of her henchmen in the temple, the paladin Georgia, and asked Delta to follow Georgia and lead a team of warriors from the Holy Goddess Temple to the Duchy of Hansa to solve this hidden danger.

Georgia is not only a paladin, but also a phantom warrior, his strength is actually no less than that of the Apocalypse, and he is a sophisticated and calculating man, and he is one of the most powerful arms around Evangeline. Coupled with Delta, who is familiar with the local situation, it should not be too difficult to solve the problem of the Duchy of Hanseas. ............

Unbeknownst to Delta, the Orcs had a passage through the Kundu Mayan Mountains, connecting the northern tundra with the Duchy of Hansea. He and the Georgian Paladins were on their way to the Duchy of Hanseas, and they had already thought of a countermeasure. ――Since the Baroque was in the northern tundra, and the Duchy of Hansa at this time was beyond his reach, he could easily regain control of Hansa with only a few small means. Yes people have ambitions, even if it goes well...... Delta is also not without hope of holding the Duchy of Hanseasa in her hands. After all...... Celine is his wife, and they haven't divorced yet!

Thinking of this, Delta blushed and gritted her teeth! Damn, the child in Celine's belly must be the orc, and even Susan's child is ......!

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

The Duchy of Hansea, Susan controls all the political and military power of the Duchy, she has great power, and after the mysterious disappearance of the ranger Aragon, some nobles naturally began to think crookedly.

Although Susan is pregnant, she is still beautiful. In the imperial court, the handsome young nobles were always eager to appear in front of them and pay their respects. The erosive life of the human aristocracy made the noblewomen popular with their mistresses, and those young nobles hoped that they could be favored by the Grand Duchess of Susan, and then gain trust, wealth and power, and ......!

For some reason, Susan did not rebuke the flies, but was tolerant of the noble lads who were dressed in dazzling clothes. The two important ministers of the court, Savati and Pahomi, watched coldly. They don't interfere in Susan's private life, but if Susan does something she shouldn't do, they will immediately report Baroque. After all, all this was given by the Baroque, not by the Grand Duchess of Susan! Besides, they did not dare to know about it, and the coldness of the Baroque was impressive!

Celine was very unhappy with Susan's recent unusual behavior, despite her pregnancy, she had frequent contact with the ministers, and even visited the military camp of the Highlanders several times. Celine didn't think much of it, she just felt that Susan was doing something sorry for the Baroque. So what is it about Susan that makes her abnormal?? )
