Ducal Palace.

Eight of the largest nobles in the South gathered.

The lowest titles here are all counts, and the lowest level of terror has also reached the top ghost king level, all of whom have made significant contributions to the Eli Empire, and they are the rule-makers throughout the southern realm.

However, just today, at the round table, the expressions of the eight people were surprisingly unanimous, and all of them grimaced or shocked, angry, gloomy, or hideous.

The Duke of Elk, who was the leader, opened a pair of vertical pupils, and the death-white pupils swept over, and a terrifying supernatural threat that was infinitely close to the world-destroying level ghosts and gods escaped and dispersed, and gusts of yin wind blew, causing the surrounding temperature to drop a lot.

"Tell me what you think about this."

Duke Elk spoke in a solemn tone.

Count Aino was the first to speak: "We underestimated this fourth prince, he disguised himself too thoroughly, not only us, but also the entire royal city, including the royal family, were also deceived by the superb acting skills of the fourth prince, to deal with such an existence, we can't give him time to breathe, we need to defeat it at one time." ”

Hear this.

The rest of the aristocracy felt the same way.

Whether they admit it or not, the fourth prince is indeed terrifying.

Not to mention anything else, this forbearance for more than ten years alone is enough to make people shudder.

Being targeted by such an existence, if they can't be killed at once, they will be the ones who will die in the future.

Then.

A little earl hesitated, "Why do we have to fight against the fourth prince?" In addition to our southern border, the eastern, western, and northern borders all have their own auxiliary royal heirs, and now the four princes have sprung up, and they have such a heart, we can completely turn the conflict into a jade silk, and assist the four princes to win the trial of fighting for the king, as for the conquest of the army......"

The voice did not fall.

Count Aino had already unceremoniously interrupted: "What the fourth prince wants is to become the master of the southern realm, not to gain our support, once he gains power, our fief will sooner or later become his vassal, and at that time, we will not have any autonomy to speak of, in this case, what can we have left except for the empty title?" Don't you understand this truth? ”

Speaking of which.

Count Aino set his gaze on Duke Elk again, and said with a distorted expression: "Lord Duke, I propose that while the fourth prince is still immersed in victory, gather the army of the southern realm and attack his territory, only in this way can this threat be completely eradicated." ”

"As for the royal family...... We can hand over the supernatural weapon developed by the four princes, which is a secret weapon that is enough to change the situation in the kingdom, and if we hand it over, the other princes and princesses will naturally transfer the contradictions to them in order to compete for control. ”

Hear the words.

There was a dead silence at the meeting.

There was a move in the eyes of the Duke of Elk.

The failure of the conquest army was largely due to the supernatural weapons in the hands of the four princes, a militia team that didn't even have the ghost king, and the elite division of 4,000 people could crush with supernatural weapons in hand, such a strategic-level weapon, who wouldn't be blushing?

If the manufacturing process of these weapons can be intercepted, he, the Duke of the Southern Territory, may not be able to go further and establish his own kingdom.

Come to think of this.

He has a little Jiujiu in his heart.

Glancing around the seven people in the meeting, he followed the words of Count Aino and concluded: "The southern border is ours, even if it is the royal family, it has no right to interfere too much, and what the fourth prince is doing is breaking this rule, once this mouth is opened, and then the royal family wants to intervene again, it seems justifiable, everyone, it is not a moment and a half for the royal family to take back these sub-feudal territories, this time, it is likely to be a temptation from the royal family." ”

"I want you to mobilize all the living forces under your command, and in three days, send troops to the border towns to end this farce."

The words fell.

No one on the field had an opinion.

They are accustomed to standing on their own, they have come to regard the southern frontier as their own part, and now that someone wants to occupy their place, how can they be willing.

To know.

Even the royal family has no right to interfere too much in this regard.

The most striking feature is that the laws of the South were made by them, not by the royal family.

It can well be imagined.

How much autonomy do they have?

Just thinking about it.

The next second.

There was a startling loud bang.

The source of the sound seems to be the location of the city gate.

Duke Elk was stunned.

He immediately stood up and shouted, "What happened? ”

A personal guard hurriedly broke in, and said with a frightened face: "Lord Duke, His Royal Highness the Fourth and Fourth Princes have led troops to come in, and they have already broken through the gates of Eagle City. ”

As soon as the words fell.

The audience was shocked.

Eagle City is the duke's fiefdom.

And they are currently in the Duke's Palace in Eagle City.

No.

How dare the fourth prince?

Does he think that if he wins once, he will look at it and have no opponent? Otherwise, how dare he attack the duke's fiefdom.

Time.

The aristocrats on the field were messed up inside.

They all looked at the Duke of Elk, who was the leader.

At this time.

Duke Elk was also a little stunned.

This is the first time he has been beaten into the territory since he became the Duke of the South, and this person is still a prince.

What does the fourth prince want to do?

Did he really think that with his status as a prince, it would be impossible for him to touch him?

The thought moved.

The Marquis of Elk's grimace darkened completely.

The ghost domain unfolds.

Disappeared into the Duke's Palace.

……

The other side.

The gate of Eagle City.

Fighting raged, buildings collapsed, and screams erupted.

Five hundred ghost gunsmiths armed with flintlock pistols advanced at a rate of three steps and a salvo of bullets.

The rammed and magnificent walls could not withstand the overwhelming attack of tongues of fire.

All the ghost pawns who tried to block them along the way, whether they were ghost kings, abyss-level ghost kings, or top ghost kings, were all killed by bullets and fell in a pool of blood.

Soon.

The gates of Eagle City fell.

Shen Jian stepped into the city.

I saw all kinds of ghosts with frightened expressions.

I thought about it.

He took out the ghost horn and comforted: "Don't be afraid, everyone is not afraid, war, it is normal for a little aftermath to affect innocent people, and it is reasonable to cause a small casualty." ”

"I advise you to stand still and wait for the Grim Reaper's choice, whether the outcome is good or bad, it's the choice of fate, isn't it?"

"Let us trust the Lord, Amen."

Shen Jian said.

The ghost gunsmith cleared the way.

A steady stream of city defense troops gathered from all directions, the Duke's Mansion personal soldiers.

Hear this.

The ghosts were shocked.

It's normal for a god to have a little casualties.

Listen, this is human talk?

Have you been so shameless all the time, or is it only today?

The ghosts were furious.

As the lords of the duke's fiefdom, they had personally experienced the ridicule of the victors, but it was still indignant to be like Shen Jian, who laughed at their lives and did not take their lives seriously.

Is he really a royal prince?

Didn't this fourth prince attack Eagle City just to occupy the southern border? And the most important thing to unify the southern border is not the support of their people?

The will of the people is the way of the king, but what is this fourth prince doing?

What he did was that he didn't care about their lives.

Could it be that you want to be a tyrant?

The ghosts were puzzled.

See here.

Shen Jian didn't know what to think, so he pondered for a moment and said unexpectedly, "You don't believe in the Lord here?" ”

"How about believing in God? Amitabha. ”

"If you can't do it again, believe in the light ......"

Ghosts: ......

You're a fucking dog who can't spit out ivory.

When it comes to engaging people mentality, you're professional.

Whether it was the lords of Eagle City, or the guards who went forward to resist the advance of the ghost gunners, their faces were all red.

The most insulting thing is often not a physical attack, but a mental attack.

And like Shen Jian, it is no longer a simple spiritual attack, but a spiritual pollution.

made them want to tear apart the four princes in front of them.

It's so infuriating.

Looked at.

Shen Jian didn't care.

The corners of his mouth grinned.

Popular Hearts?

Is it OK to eat?

When he was in the Qingguo dungeon, he needed to collect dragon qi, which only harvested a wave of people's hearts.

But in the Eli Empire, his main task is to attack the city and seize the land, to destroy the existing plot points to maximize the benefits, to eliminate other princes and princesses as quickly as possible, and to get half of the Luo Yutian authority in the hands of the royal family.

In this case, the people's will is of no use to him at all.

Naturally, he does whatever he wants.

In fact.

If it weren't for the side quest limitations, which required him to attack the city as a lord, he would have been able to descend on Eagle City a few days ago, wipe out Duke Elk and other nobles and unify the southern border.

Now, it's still too slow.

After all.

In addition to the south, there are eastern, western, northern, high seas, and the most important royal city.

If ten days and half a month were wasted in every super-large supernatural place, it would take him months to clear a dungeon.

During this time, he couldn't do anything.

Buddha Guo took the opportunity to make any small moves, and he couldn't take care of himself.

This is not what Shen Jian wants to see.

Because of this, he will directly attack Eagle City.

Pondering.

The wind is blowing.

Shen Jian looked at it.

I saw that high in the sky, eight ghosts stood out of thin air.

The horror level of each ghost is not lower than that of the top ghost king, especially the ghost shadow led by a miserable white vertical pupil, whose own horror level is infinitely close to that of the world-destroying level ghost god.

He stacked the ghost realm, putting himself in a high position, overlooking the chaotic scene below.

Subsequently.

The miserable white pupils fell on Shen Jian at once.

It was none other than the Duke of Elk.

He looked at Shen Jian and was about to speak, but Shen Jian had already taken the first step and said, "Yo, this is not Xiao Ai." ”

Count of Aino: ......

The corners of his mouth twitched violently.

God is a little Ai.

I don't know, I thought we had a good relationship.

"Xiao Ai, we are really fateful, the ghost craftsman you sent last time is so easy to use, when will it develop again, tell me, I will rob you next time."

Shen Jian was very enthusiastic.

A win-win business posture.

Count of Aino: ......

He stared at Shen Jian so hard that his back molars were about to be crushed.

You're special, you really can't open which pot to mention.

"Enough, Fourth Prince, do you think you can bluff like this? I have seen your weaknesses, and you will regret what you have done today. ”

Duke Elk twisted his face and smirked.

Shen Jian: ?

His weakness?
