Looking at the place where the Ice Witch Ace disappeared, Red's body subconsciously tensed.

Even if the Ice Witch disappeared before his eyes, he couldn't observe how the other party left.

The gap is so big that it makes people despair.

There is an inherently irreparable gap between the witch and the knight.

But soon, Red collected his emotions, but the idea of mastering the secret technique of breathing became a little more urgent.

He didn't want to be able to fight the witch, he just wanted that in case of a conflict with the witch, he could buy even one more second for Young Master Roy.

Roy naturally didn't know what Red was thinking.

When he returned to his room, he practiced breathing and thought silently.

Through the interrogation of the Shadow Witch, he gains crucial information that the true identity of the person behind the scenes is Lord Denham, Lord of Iron Mountain.

The identity of the service witch is not a secret, as long as you have the heart to inquire, it is easy to know, about the service witch of the Iron Mountain Territory, the witch of light Vivien, he knew something about it when he asked Red about the territory information before.

Vivien, the witch of light, is said to be able to create a dazzling light source and manipulate light to form weapons, and her combat effectiveness is outstanding among serving witches.

Unlike Shanica, the Witch of Light, Vivienne, the Witch of Light, was not very tainted when she was sent to the Iron Mountain Realm, but now, she is on the verge of losing control.

It can be seen how much Lord Denham has "squeezed" her over the years.

In fact, lord-level lords do not necessarily have witches serving in their territories, as far as Roy knows, only the Blackstone Collar and the Iron Mountain Collar have service witches in the four territories around the Blackstone Domain.

Knowing the identity of the person behind the scenes, what to do next is a question.

Please ask the Ice Witch to take out the "Iron Mountain Lord Lord Denham"?

Undoubtedly, this is not a difficult task.

But what about after getting rid of it?

Lord Denham, Lord of Iron Mountain, is a nobleman recognized by the Empire, and his death at the hands of a witch would be completely different.

Previously, the Ice Witch Ace was only hunted down by the temple, and the Empire neither supported nor opposed it, and her attitude was rather ambiguous, but if the Ice Witch really killed the "Iron Mountain Lord Lord Denham", then the Empire would have to take action.

It is true that the strength of the Ice Witch Ace is very strong, but in terms of the temple and the empire, it is not true that there is no powerful existence above the silver, and it has not been sent before, just because these strong people have other important things, and the real strength of the Ice Witch has not been estimated.

And after the Ice Witch's "Fame Battle" more than two months ago, the empire and the temple will strike again, and it will definitely not be a small fight.

There will definitely be a powerful knight of the gold rank! Even for the sake of stability, there may be more than one!

As a result, Ace the Ice Witch and Elena the Fox Ear Witch will be in a great crisis.

And this situation is definitely not what Roy wants to see.

He wants to get rid of the person behind the scenes, "Lord of Iron Mountain, Lord Denham", instead of losing both of them and cutting off his own arm.

Therefore, letting the Ice Witch Ace make a move is the next step.

There are only two combat powers that can be used by the Black Stone Collar to attack outside, one is the Bronze Knight, Rayder, and the other is the healing witch Shanica.

But the former is not strong enough, although the bronze two-star knight is not weak, but it is simply a fool's dream to go deep into the Iron Mountain Territory by himself to get rid of the "Iron Mountain Lord Lord Denham".

And the latter, although Shanica's magic is not weak, her ability is healing, which is an auxiliary talent, and she does not have a strong frontal combat ability.

Therefore, neither was suitable for the assassination operation.

Therefore, if you want to eradicate the "Lord of Iron Mountain, Lord Denham", you must find another way.

Roy had two thoughts in his mind about this.

The first is to use some kind of "head" to lure the "Iron Mountain Lord Lord Denham" out of the territory. As long as Lord Denham is killed in a corner that no one knows, then even if the temple and the empire have the means to distinguish whether the murderer is a witch or not, they will not be able to use it.

The second is for him to do it himself. With the help of the talent [Infinite Desire], his strength has progressed beyond everyone's imagination, as long as he is given enough strength, he will have a strength far above Lord Denham.

Of the two approaches, Roy prefers the former.

The latter does not necessarily take time, not to mention, in addition to physical strength, if he wants to have enough combat power, he also needs to practice weapons, and it will take even longer. And the people behind the scenes won't necessarily give him that much time.

And speaking of the first method......

A flash of inspiration flashed through Roy's mind.

He quickly got to his feet and turned back to the secret place of the treasure room.

After all the treasures were taken by him, this secret place was a perfect place to hide witches, whether it was used for the residence of Ace the Ice Witch and Elena the Fox Ear Witch in the future, or the prison cell of Lilia the Shadow Witch now.

The semi-illusory door resurfaced and solidified, and seeing Roy walking in, the originally dim light in the eyes of the shadow witch Lilia brightened again: "Young Master Roy, are you willing to give me a high-purity magic crystal?" I ......"

Before Lilia could finish her slightly eager words, Roy raised his hand to interrupt, he looked at Lilia, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Miss Lilia, are you willing to make a deal with me?" ”

……

The night passed in a hurry.

At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Red, who was trying the secret technique of breathing in the training ground, received an urgent message from his knights.

A knight from the Iron Mountain Lord, who came to the door, claimed to have brought Lord Denham, Lord of the Iron Mountain, with a "declaration of war"!

To be precise, the full name of the "Declaration of War" is called the "Declaration of Territory Merger Battle".

Hearing this, Red's pupils narrowed, he waved the knight back, and then walked quickly to Roy's room to report the incident to him.

Under Red's explanation, Roy also understood what the so-called "Territory Merger Battle Declaration" was.

In Imperial Law, there are two ways to dispose of a lost liege's territory. One is to recycle it directly from the empire and then give it to a new noble. On the other hand, the lord of the territory near the domain can carry out the "territory merger" by paying a certain amount of "territory gold" to the empire and guaranteeing it with the guarantee of at least the great nobles above the earl.

There are three processes for "territory merger":

1. The declared territory issues a "declaration of territory merger and battle" to the knights of the declared territory who have lost their lord.

2. After the declaration is issued, the knights of the original lord family of the declared territory have three days to prepare, after which the declared territory will launch a "merger battle".

3. If the knight of the declared territory fails to resist, it means that the territory will henceforth belong to the declared territory and be incorporated into the territory of the declared territory.

And if the knight of the declared territory successfully resists, or even defeats the declared territory, then the "territory merger" will fail, or even be "reversed merge".

But can a territory that has lost its lord really resist a well-prepared, menacing territory declaring war?

The answer is obvious.
