1361 A.D., May 16, afternoon.

Cormier, outside Susar, the capital of the Land of the Purple Dragon, Anaheim Manor.

Mannerkorn-Anaheim was sitting in his office at this time, and he pressed his fingers down the blinds and peered outside.

He didn't have to, but human nature is to love illegal surveillance and illegal access, which is deeply embedded in human DNA.

A ritual to the devil is underway.

Some of his former subordinates were thrown into a bloody and brutal scene, and around them, like the singing of spring birds, the Divine Son of Ban heard the screams, begs for mercy and wails of whips, torture instruments, and dying men, and some begged their loved ones to survive.

Mannacone bit his lip tightly, many of them men he knew, their voices blowing into his ears like the sound of the wind in the afternoon bright spring light.

Many of them had been friends and loyal subordinates of the Son of Bane.

Yes, friend, Ben Miko was surprised to find that he remembered the word, thinking back to the past, how good it used to be between them, that they had come together because of the same goal, the same dream, that he had given a passionate speech, and that at the bar of the bar, these people cheered to his slogan.

It's a pity that these people didn't choose to side with him after all.

Well, they are the enemy.

Mannakhen watched as the men collapsed on the bloodied altar, as the demons disguised as humans were merrifully executing, and the demons were not content to kill, preferring to take the souls of mortals after unspeakable torture.

It was a deal he made with the Great Devil Byer, the self-proclaimed rightful lord of Aphernas, and it was only a deposit.

Scars, holes, blood spilling all over the ritual altar, dissecting hearts and brains, and the devils do all kinds of evil.

"No......" Manna Cohen whispered, "Filthy beast of the Nine Hells, monsters, love you so much." ”

The devils succeeded, but that didn't mean that Bane had given in to the devils, he thought it was just a deal to get what he wanted, and when it was over, he would have to make the devil pay enough sooner or later.

As for these undetermined subordinates and colleagues, Mannerhen can only say sorry in his heart.

These are all necessary sacrifices.

This kind of torture in the manor is a bit too cruel, but it can also effectively deter those who still have doubts in their hearts.

Let them learn to be fearful so that they will be grateful.

"Glory to Bane!" Mannakone saluted the victims, then closed the blinds.

"Dongdong~" The door rang.

"Please come in."

His deputy, Admiral Dönitz, squeezed in through the crack in the door with a lot of papers: "Good afternoon, Your Excellency. ”

"You're late, Erich." The Son of Bane said, "Did you encounter something?" ”

"The keeper found me, and unfortunately told me that Moody, the big golden retriever you saw that day, had died suddenly, and I delayed it for a while." Dönitz said apologetically, "This should not have been my business, but didn't Your Excellency say that day that this is a good dog?" The keeper told me that he was so sad that he needed to take a few days off. ”

"It's a shame that we've lost a respectable comrade-in-arms." Mannakhen rubbed his eyes tiredly, it was a trivial matter, he didn't care: "Okay, are they all here?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, the forces that support us are concentrating on the Lady Yew Lodge!"

Dönitz sent the list.

The event was attended by:

The 2nd and 5th City Defense Battalions of the Susar Capital.

Cormyr's Ninth Legion.

Cormyr Marine Corps 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th Corps.

A handful of Cormier court bureaucrats, headed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

The Anaheim private army led by Ranger Andreas.

189 Purple Dragon Knights.

A duke's private army of the Duke of Marelli.

With that alone, the Son of Bane had already controlled nearly a third of Susar's army, and Mannakhen flipped through the list and nodded in satisfaction, but he soon found that he couldn't find the name.

"Where's Disma?"

"Sir Disma is out on official business, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Damn, this man's personality is really weird, he has been invited many times with good wine and meat, and all the good things have been said, didn't he already promise to join us? Why did you suddenly regret it again? The Son of Bane let out a long breath, disgusted by Disma's wavering.

He hates this wavering subordinate the most.

What he didn't know was that Disma had already made up his mind to join his command, but after seeing Aaron's power, Echo of Fear, and Scarbrand in the Battle of Arabel, Disma decided that he was worthy of allegiance to a higher-level being.

This was also not the time to focus on the absence of one or two people, and the Son of Bane asked his loyal subordinates to come in.

Soon, the office was full of people.

"Neither His Royal Highness nor His Royal Highness the Duke knows anything about our plans."

"So, we have a chance to win, please believe in that! Our plan will be a success. ”

"It's time, it's finally time to take this step, weak good gods, hypocritical princesses, these creatures have plagued our country for a long time, they have infiltrated our people, they have eroded our culture, they have made us rot and turned the once brave country of the Purple Dragon into a flock of lambs."

"Now, we are going to change this country, we are going to remove its rotten parts and eliminate the infection by all necessary means, this is just the beginning, I believe that one day, justice will return to this land, and Cormier will be free of the toxins that afflicted her!"

"All glory to Cormier!"

Everyone standing in the office was breathing heavily, and they saluted, their eyes showing a look of frenzy.

"All glory to Cormier!"

…………

At the same time, in the dressing room inside the palace, Aaron was also making final preparations.

He took a half-day off today, and ordered everything to go on, what everyone should do and how to do it, he has made arrangements.

The progress of the treacherous Xiling is not smooth, Bane Shenzi's organizational skills do have a hand, different people, different subordinates only have a part of the information, Aaron can only do the best he can do.

Now, it's time to wait for the dinner in the evening at the Lavillette estate.

There is no good feast, but he must go to the feast.

Not only to uproot the Son of Bane, but also to ensure the smooth implementation of his King Hunter plan.

He had to be by the princess's side, and everything outside could only be left to Eleanor, and the priest had been with him for so long, and she should be able to get things done.

Aaron was still thinking about what was missing in his plan, and Alice's impatient voice had already sounded: "Aaron, you dare to be distracted by my side?" ”

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but there's something going on at home." Aaron can only apologize.

Fortunately, Alice Searle didn't pay much attention, she took out a high-end black and white balloon sleeve, close-fitting breeches, and black boots from the dressing room and threw it in front of Aaron.

"Put it on, let me see."

"Yes."

Aaron changed into this outfit, the clothes were extremely smooth to the start, the fabric was very good, and it was not extraordinary at first glance, and I don't know where it came from.

He was about to go inside to change clothes, but Alice Serre grabbed his sleeve coldly: "It's here, change!" ”

"Your Highness?" Aaron thought to himself, you female rascal!

"I'm shy, it's not like I haven't seen it." The princess raised her chin: "Show me what's wrong?" Take it off, I like to watch it. ”

Aaron didn't say anything more, and he changed into this black and white aristocratic dress in front of Alice Searle.

Aaron in the dress is handsome and handsome, not only charming but also faintly with a hint of violent charm, which makes Alice Searle want to rua a little, but this outfit is a little too big and does not particularly fit.

"Your Highness, I've changed it." Aaron straightened his cuffs: "Like, a little bigger?" ”

Alice Searle looked at her from above, looking at her repeatedly, her originally cold and arrogant eyes softened a little at this moment, and nodded lightly: "It's okay, it's just that you're not strong enough to hold up." ”

"Whose clothes are these?" Aaron asked, confused.

Alice Searle let Aaron turn around in place, looked at him carefully, and then nodded: "This is my father's dress, the dress he likes to wear to banquets." ”

The clothes of the former king Yasan IV?

"You're going to wear this outfit to the banquet in the evening." Alice Serre stopped Aaron's words with her eyes: "This is an order!" ”

"Yes."

At night, the La Velette estate, one of the largest estates in Susa, is where many aristocratic events are held, and it is said that the largest venue can accommodate about 1,000 people.

The estate was owned by Madame de la Villette, a marquis who inherited the estate after her husband was killed in the Holocaust of the Sages.

She opened up most of the estate for business and aristocratic socializing to maintain daily expenses.

Aaron arrived at the gate of the manor first, and the doorman at the door saw Aaron's appearance and hurried up to meet him, receiving him inside, and finally stopping in front of an oversized wreath arch.

The whole scene inside is splendid, countless extravagant crystal lamps decorate the luxury and grandeur of the banquet hall, there are already a lot of people present, but the appearance is still in their thirties to fifties, most of the aristocratic men are like Aaron wearing balloon sleeve aristocratic dresses, hair combed meticulously or wearing hats, while ladies are dressed as noblewomen, some wear priestly robes, some wear evening dresses, not a few, all dressed up brightly, all of them are successful people.

Aaron's arrival caused an immediate sensation, and he was greeted by almost everyone, and many people in the banquet hall stood together with red wine glasses as if they were familiar.

"Look, look, who's coming? The head of the Arabell's Five, Manuel's son, Aaron Salian? ”

A middle-aged man, surrounded by many retinues, came to Aaron, and he took the initiative to extend his hand to Aaron: "Welcome, very welcome, Aaron, can I call you that?" ”

The man was about forty years old, with slightly thinning hair, a large oily back, a loose gown, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a pair of small glasses full of love and recognition.

This man was the Duke of Caspar, the appointed son-in-law of Yasan IV, the husband of the late Princess Crown, and the brother-in-law of the Prince Regent.

The other party was very bookish, very organized and gentle in his speech, seeing that Aaron was a little stunned, he continued to laugh: "Oh, you may not recognize me yet, I am Caspar, now you recognize it, right?" ”

"Hello, His Royal Highness Duke Caspar." Aaron nodded, putting on a business smile, he subconsciously searched for the figure of Bane Miko, but found nothing.

"Oh, now the young people are coming up in waves, so that we old people don't have a chance to show ourselves~" Duke Caspar smiled naturally: "I think it's time for me to retire?" ”

"I'm very optimistic about you, young man, I think it's a bit too condescending for a talent like you to be confined to being a servant in the palace?" The Duke continued: "Your talents should be brought to a higher place, I think. ”

"Your Highness values it, Aaron is terrified." Aaron responded casually to a few words before hearing the exclamations of the congregation.

"Look, the regent is down!"

"Lady Firehair is on top, she's too beautiful."

"Shhh

There was a sudden commotion at the door of the banquet hall, many people were amazed and admired, and even more exaggerated was the sound of wine glasses falling to the ground, Aaron's eyes gradually brightened as everyone looked at them.

The splendid long golden hair falls down the shoulders like a waterfall, the beautiful face is slightly powdered, the eyeliner is lightly traced, the long eyelashes flicker and look extremely soft, and the bright red lips appear to be transparent and pure like clotted skin, but it also adds a vitality and vitality, it is not as cold as before, and the white jade-like clear and round ear beads are adorned with two pendant-like crystal earrings in the shape of a crescent, and there are two petal-shaped fiery rubies embedded on them, highlighting the elegance and luxury of the woman, and her bright red lips complement each other.

A set of golden peacock shadow thorn embroidered dress long skirt wears a unique charm on Alice Searle's body, and the beautiful legs under the long skirt are set off by a pair of ultra-thin black pearlescent stockings, which shows the smoothness and delicacy of the beautiful legs.

She wore a pair of open-toed fish-mouth black patent leather high heels, the high heels were lace-up design, and a thin strap was tied on the woman's white round ankles and toes, and bright red cardamom nail polish loomed under the black pearlescent silk, which looked very charming.

The woman who entered the arena was full of aura, cold and noble, and her elegant steps did not stop because of anyone's interruption or greeting, but just nodded constantly, or smiled politely and gracefully.

However, these male creatures often dare not come out of her gaze, and only make promises.

The nickname of the princess of steel is not for nothing!

Alice Serre was also not very interested in these people, and her eyes circled around the venue, quickly locking on Aaron, who was talking to Duke Caspar, and Aaron immediately apologized to Duke Caspar when he noticed that the princess was looking at him, and then walked in her direction.

Under the gaze of countless people, Aaron came to the front of the princess, the woman's beautiful eyes stared at the man in front of her without blinking, although it didn't look like there was any change just now, but someone could feel that the cold aura on her body seemed to have completely dissipated at this moment, as if she had changed a person.

The woman raised her arm and didn't say anything, but Aaron immediately understood, stepped forward and immediately grabbed the woman's arm, and the two walked side by side to a place where there were fewer people and slowly sat down, and the eyes around them dispersed.

"Your Highness, you are so beautiful today!" Aaron sincerely appreciated: "Even the pearl in Longhu is not as beautiful as yours. ”

"What are you talking to your brother-in-law about?" Alice Searle said coldly.

"It's just a conversation about the past and some food." Aaron tried to digress the subject.

"What to talk about? Say! The woman in front of her was looking at Aaron directly, and the domineering in her eyes overflowed directly.

Aaron had to repeat what he and Duke Caspar had said, and Alice Seel withdrew his gaze: "You're mine, aren't you?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Alice Serre was satisfied, and the cold and incomparable regent got up: "Come with me, my black staff ceremonial officer, let's see what kind of tricks the Duke of Marelli and the Duke of Caspar play." ”

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I am by your side." Aaron took a deep breath and rose with the princess.

】

So, here we go!

At the same time, in an alley not far from where the Villatte estate is located.

The seven black-robed ones were also ready.

Ciric's subordinates, the six killers led by the sworn executioner Peak, have been ordered by Dark Sun to lurk here early.

Today, both Mannakhen, the son of Bane, and Aaron, the son of Baal, are going to die here!

Because this is the supreme will of the dark sun!
