"Damn! Damn it! How dare they? ”

In a grand hall, the king sitting on the throne roared loudly at the courtiers below.

This prime-age man, dressed in rich robes and wearing a dazzling crown, was none other than the king of the kingdom of Fetern.

The reason why he was so angry was the hedron he was holding in his hand.

The hedron was projecting a figure, projecting it in the middle of the hall.

And the figure is a diplomat in the lantern collar.

And what the diplomat said was an ultimatum to the kingdom of Fetern, to abolish serfdom altogether, and to cut taxes and remove all unreasonable and excessively oppressive systems.

This serious interference in the internal affairs of other powers caused the anger of the king.

And the diplomat's words can be said to be unceremoniously, indicating that he will beat you if he does not change his intentions.

After venting for a while, the king sat back on his throne and sighed.

"So, everyone, tell me what you think and how to do it."

As soon as his words fell, a rich nobleman walked to the middle and knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, don't listen to them, for once serfdom is abolished, these lowly poor people will surely plunge the country into riots." ”

"Yes, the king, it must not be abolished."

"This lantern territory must be trying to attack us, but it's just a good excuse, even if we change it, they will definitely attack us."

"Why do they interfere in our internal affairs so much?"

The surrounding officials were all talking and talking to the king.

None of these aristocrats, as vested interests, wanted to abolish serfdom, let alone reduce taxes and change laws.

This will make their earnings fall off a cliff, which is absolutely not allowed by these corrupt rules.

Those mud-legged people were born to serve them, but they were nothing more than tools to create wealth for them.

Looking at the noise below, the king frowned, and then said loudly: "Shut up, since you are not willing to abolish serfs and reduce taxes, then come up with a way, instead of arguing here endlessly." ”

As soon as his words fell, the noise of the entire hall instantly stopped, and there was silence.

Everyone knows that if they don't want to change, then they will have to fight with the Lantern Territory.

But the problem is that although they have not seen the strength of the Lantern Collar, they have heard of it.

It is said that the Lantern Territory is very powerful.

As for how powerful the law is, they don't have a very intuitive impression, after all, they are coastal areas. It's still a long way from the previous ogre territory.

So I didn't fight the ogres head-on.

That's why they seem to be emboldened in the face of Kane's threats.

I haven't fought, and I haven't even seen the strength of the Lantern Territory, and the ghost knows if their strength is deliberately blown.

After all, they are actually a big force around.

If you put a ranking of the surrounding territories, he can at least be in the top 5.

At this time, the general, who was wearing knight's heavy armor and carrying a long sword at his waist, walked to the middle and saluted the king above.

"Your Majesty, since this lantern bell dares to be so arrogant, then we can't weaken our momentum. The minister proposed to recruit the troops of all the nobles, so that all the nobles could contribute to this war and win honor. ”

This general is none other than the general of the kingdom, one of the only two people in the country with a golden level of strength.

Hearing his proposal, the king nodded, and then asked the nobles below, "What do you think of this proposal?" ”

Although these nobles did not want to send troops, they had no choice now.

"Your Majesty the King, the Duster family will be the first to answer the call, and they will soon lead the Knights to join the general."

"Then I'...... too"

"I ...... too"

"I'm the same."

In this way, the warning behavior of the lantern collar was determined.

Without a real head-to-head battle, these nobles don't feel like they're on the losing side.

Not to mention that their understanding of the power of Kane and others comes from the words of others.

…………

"Your Majesty, news has come from over there, and the Fetten Kingdom is about to fight us head-on."

Hearing Bonona's report, Kane nodded with a smile.

He didn't expect to be so brave.

However, this is exactly what he wants, and he is afraid that this Fetern Kingdom will directly admit it after hearing their warning and change the system.

Although this situation is almost unlikely, after all, such a corrupt country, it is impossible for those high-level leaders to give up their interests because of Kane's deterrence.

In order to avoid such a situation, Kane also deliberately made the diplomats appear arrogant and bad.

The reaction of the Fetten Kingdom left Kane very satisfied.

"Put their reaction in the newspapers, and tomorrow we'll officially move our troops."

"This time, leave all the battle to the Lantern Knights, and you can lead some troops to go there yourself."

After thinking for a while, Kane said, "In order to prevent accidents, I will ask Raphael and them to send two people to follow the whole process." ”

After listening to Kane's words, Bonona nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will start preparing now." ”

After all, this operation will be broadcast live, so more troops and weapons will not be exposed first.

The Knights of the Lantern and a few members of the Gold Rank were enough to completely destroy the forces of the Fetten Kingdom.

In order to avoid those two gold-level enemies, they may understand tricky rules, so Kane also specially asked Raphael and them to choose two team members to go to protect them secretly.

There is no problem with such a force being exposed, after all, these can only be regarded as the tip of Kane's strength.

Kane then returned to the guild hall.

Told Adoroma about the impending battle.

Atomar also made a report of his next actions and posted it on the notice board.

Since there are only two gold-level enemies, which is not enough to score at all, no one with gold strength in the guild will participate in this operation, except for Raphael, who is named by Kane.

Although the enemies are rare in the gold level, there are quite a few silver-level enemies, so most of the idle silver-level explorers in the guild have to participate.

Kane did not refuse these demands either.

…………

Early the next morning.

The capital of the Tri-Ethnic Alliance, the Lantern newspaper office is located in the center of the city.

At this time, countless people were piled up in front of the newspaper office.

There are humans, and of course there are elves and orcs.

Most of them were civilians, and the reason why they gathered here was naturally because of the huge display screen in front of the newspaper office.

This thing is so new to them.

"Alas, it's lit up, it's really lit up."

As the man's words fell, the monitor lit up, revealing the Knights of the Lantern and some of the archers led by Bonona.

The entire screen is viewed from the rear of the troops, and only the Lantern Knights can be seen to be well-equipped, with a silver glow reflected in the beautiful armor.

and the fluttering lantern flags on the flagpoles they were holding.

Unless the knights turned back, they could not see the front of these people.

"Is this really a picture of the Lantern Territory? It can't be an illusion created by magic. ”

An elven mage with a bronze level of strength said.

Hearing his words, an orc next to him said, "It shouldn't be an illusion, I've been to the Lantern Territory, and I've seen knights like this patrolling around the city. ”

"We're thousands of kilometers away from the Lantern Leader's capital, can we spread the picture so far? It's really an incredible force. ”

"Who says it's not, fortunately, they are practitioners of the will of the fog, as long as they don't touch the bottom line of the fog, they won't be enemies of others at will."

"Perhaps, who knows."

Civilians of the Tri-Communal Alliance have a higher level of education. So for Kane, they won't accept all of their propaganda rhetoric.

While these civilians were chatting.

In the private room on the third floor of a small building opposite, several human elves and orcs in high positions looked at the picture below.

An elf said to the orc next to him, "You've been to their territory, what are these knights?" ”

"I can't see it from the picture, but the knights I've met in this costume have all reached the silver bottleneck."

"All?" The human next to him exclaimed.

"All."

"Assuming that all the members of the Order in this attire are Silver Bottleneck, if they attack us, will we be able to defend against them?" The elf asked.

The orc nodded, then shook his head: "If it's just these knights, of course we can defend against it, but if it's just exposed to us, it must only be a part of their forces." ”

Yes, fools know that a swagger like this will definitely not be the full strength, or even the tip of the iceberg of their strength.

Not to mention that many of the high-level forces know most of Kane's strength.

"Alas, it's really scary to have such a male lion beside you." The elf sighed.

"At least he's still at peace, isn't he? If it weren't for the kingdom, which was too harsh on the common people, it wouldn't have been attacked by them. ”

Hearing the orc's words, the human next to him glanced at him, sighed and shook his head: "Do you believe this?" They clearly wanted the kingdom's outlet to the sea, but they were just looking for a reason. ”

"We should be glad that they want to attack other forces, at least they will find a reason first, and they will not fight whoever they want.

Not to mention that their current sphere of influence is too big, neither the internal soldiers nor the population can keep up. ”

"A strong man who understands the rules and can find reasons is much better than those man-eating beasts before him."

The elf comforted.

"What is the council going to do with the Lantern Collar?" The orc scratched at his head.

He was a warrior after all, and to be honest, he didn't really want to face an enemy like Kane's too strong.

There is a feeling of dying in vain.

Therefore, it is particularly important for him to deal with the relationship between the council and the lantern collar.

Hearing his words, the elf said, "The council wants the princess of the Falfa family to marry the lord of the Lantern Lord. ”

"The pearl of the Alliance? Can this be done? You must know that the lord of the Lantern Collar is an explorer, a person who came in from the foggy world outside, and may not think the same way as us. ”

"Who knows, we have to try, don't we, if it happens, it will at least stabilize our relationship with this neighbor.

If it doesn't work out, it can show that we are seeking peace, and at least we can maintain a certain amount of peace between us. ”

The human next to him said, "That princess is so proud, will she really obey orders?" ”

"She's just proud and not stupid, she knows how to choose, and you don't know the strength of that lord."

In the past, when Kane and the ogres were in a decisive battle, as long as there were some powerful forces around, they sent spies to watch the whole process.

That's why they fear Kane, they're too strong.

Fighting ogres has little to lose.
