Casting spells

At midnight, the banquet in the palace had just ended, and the entire envoy returned to the residence under the leadership of the prince.

Before he could sit down to catch his breath, a waiter walked in with two mysterious people covered in cloaks, and said cautiously, "Your Highness, your friend has arrived."

"Oh? My friend?" The prince had a surprised expression on his face.

Because in the kingdom, he doesn't have many friends, the only one who can be called a friend is...

"It's me, Your Highness."

One of the men took off his hood on his own initiative, and it turned out to be the court noble who led the instigation of the rebellion not long ago.

But now, he has lost his territory and title, and in principle is no different from a commoner.

However, those complex relationship networks that still exist can still be kept for a while.

"Ah! So it's you. I heard my father mention you, saying that you are a truly noble and pure nobleman, a hero who is willing to stand up against tyranny and injustice." After figuring out the other party's identity, the prince immediately changed Put on another face, stood up and praised loudly.

Of course, in his heart, he was actually full of contempt for this despicable person who betrayed his country for the sake of power.

After all, guys who sell their own country in exchange for prosperity and wealth are out-and-out scum no matter in any era, and some will even be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever. .

The prince's political literacy is obviously good, and he hides this contempt deeply in his heart, and doesn't show it clearly.

On the contrary, he showed the enthusiasm that a prince should have for his followers.

"To hear the praise of Harrison the Great made me feel extremely joyful and terrified. Please rest assured that I will not betray his trust and drive that damned usurper out of power." The court nobles vowed to give ensure.

Upon hearing this, the prince nodded immediately: "I appreciate your confidence and courage very much. But can you tell me about your plan?"

"No problem, this is exactly the purpose of my coming to see you." Saying that, the court nobleman turned sideways and pointed to the fellows following him. "This is Baron Marais, a veteran nobleman with illustrious military exploits. Next, he will explain to you what kind of marching route we will take after raising the flag of justice."

Without further ado, the guy known as Baron Marais took out a map from his pocket and spread it out on the table: "Your Highness, please look, this is Tilsburg, and this is the Clear Water River. If We can capture the docks and block the river within three days after we raise our troops, and we can cut off two-thirds of the capital's food supply. Just imagine how angry those civilians will become when they don't get enough food ?”

"Interesting! You want to use food to threaten Vilia to compromise?" The prince's eyes shone slightly.

You must know that on this planet where transportation is extremely backward, any large city with a population of more than [-] is either close to the sea, and the transportation of large daily necessities is solved by sea transportation, or there is a wide river, and the transportation is completed by the river, or It is a combination of both, otherwise it would be impossible to feed so many urban populations who are not engaged in agricultural activities.

Since the kingdom’s most important food production areas are on both sides of the Bishui River, the food, vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese and other food consumed in the capital every day are transported by this river to the pier, and then scattered from the pier to various markets sell.

Had the transit terminal near Tillsburg been blocked, within a week the densely populated city would have starved.

By that time, all rulers with an online IQ will choose to compromise, rather than take the huge risk of being kicked out of power by the angry people.

"That's right! To be honest, from a military point of view, I really can't think of any way to win a frontal battle. So at this time, strategy will become extremely important. We don't need a battle To win, you need to give her a fatal blow in an unexpected place. Since she wants to curry favor with those low-level people, let's show her how these people resisted her rule." Baron Marais grinned , showing a sinister smile.

You don’t need to ask, he wants to teach Vilia a lesson, let this young girl understand what is the foundation of the kingdom to rely on, and those low-level people who can be bought with a little favor are not worth relying on at all. With a little trouble, these guys will choose to betray without hesitation.

"Hahahaha! It seems that our Queen is in trouble this time. But I have another question. Have you contacted the old king? He will finally stand up to support us and give this coup a legal name Is it? After all, my father is an emperor who likes to maintain orthodoxy, and he doesn't want the glory he insisted on all his life to be tarnished in his later years." The prince laughed and tested.

The so-called politics, in fact, is to be a whore, but also to erect a memorial archway.

If you just be a whore and don't set up a memorial archway, you will be looked down upon by others, and you will be regarded as a nouveau riche who lacks foundation, and his appearance is too ugly.

If Guangli Archway does not act as a watch, it is a complete political idiot, who will be ridiculed by everyone as pedantic, ignorant of flexibility, and lack of flexible political skills.

Only by taking both into account is the quality that a qualified political talent should have.

Baron Marais exchanged glances with the court nobles, and quickly responded: "For the sake of confidentiality, we have not yet contacted the old king. But I believe that when he sees the change in the situation, he will definitely not reject us." Proposal. In any case, he must be responsible for his own family, otherwise the kingdom can’t change a family to be the royal family, can’t it?”

"Who are you going to replace?" The prince keenly grasped the key words, with an expression of interest on his face.

"Naturally, it's you, Your Highness. Don't you think it's a perfect plan for the son of the great Harrison to marry the princess of the kingdom, and then justifiably become the prince, taking over the entire country." The court nobleman hinted meaningfully .

"I?!"

Hearing these words, the prince suddenly felt that a flame called ambition was ignited deep in his heart, exuding unimaginable energy.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like if he could rule the kingdom as a prince and finally put his son on the throne.

Especially staying away from the power-hungry father, making everything up to him, is simply a naked temptation for him...

The first thousand and 110th chapter nine dark beliefs

"So... the prince is trying to trick me?" Vilia held the information just sent by her spies, pursed her lips and showed a sarcastic smile.

She was lying on the bed in the bedroom at the moment, wearing a light nightgown, with one hand still supporting her chin, giving off a hazy beauty full of intellectual wisdom.

But those eyes were as sharp as a dagger that had just been unsheathed.

No doubt the young queen was irritated by the prince's greedy ambitions and desires.

Since she made up her mind to control her own destiny, this was the first time she met someone who wanted to turn herself into a plaything and a puppet.

"Yes, Your Majesty. And they are also planning to capture Tilsburg, cut off the food transportation in the river, put the entire capital into famine, and then incite the hungry people to overthrow your rule." The spy lowered his head without any embellishment. language exchange reports.

I am afraid that the few people who were plotting together not long ago would never have dreamed that their every move was actually being watched by spies everywhere. In less than half an hour, all the conversations and discussions were presented. in the hands of another party.

For a queen who came to power through a coup, Velia undoubtedly attached great importance to the development of intelligence agencies. In addition to the royal intelligence system inherited from her abdicated father, she also secretly established an unknown shadow agency.

And this shadow agency is responsible for supervising and cleaning up the royal family's intelligence system to ensure that there will be no one who secretly opposes him.

After several months of vigorous cultivation, now is the moment of harvest.

Including those noble families who secretly conspired to launch a rebellion, there were almost one or two spies, and they kept sending back important news.

So no matter how many rumors there are from the outside world, she has never panicked, because the enemy's every move is under her control.

But now, the prince who came from afar has made a mistake, a fatal mistake, enough to make him never return to his country, but to become a prisoner, a pawn and a pawn used to humiliate Emperor Harrison. tool.

"Hmph! I didn't see that there are many smart people who know how to think among these traitors. But unfortunately, they are all wrong. I will not passively wait for them to launch a rebellion, but to act first." As he spoke, Vilia quickly picked up a piece of paper from the table, scribbled down a series of orders on it, and then stamped it with the seal of the royal family. "Here, deliver it to my generals as quickly as possible, and at the same time keep an eye on the prince, to prevent him from escaping secretly."

"As you wish, Your Majesty." The spy always lowered his head to take the letter and put it close to his body, not daring to keep his eyes on the queen's nightdress full of hazy beauty.

He is very clear that the most important thing in this line of work is to know restraint, and never step over the red line, otherwise what awaits him will be ruthless cleaning.

……

At the same time, in a city hundreds of kilometers away in the area controlled by Kerwin, the woman who returned to the civilized world with the holy sword is sitting in an inconspicuous corner of a tavern, sipping spirits, While watching everything around him with cold eyes.

Ever since she made up her mind to awaken the God of Darkness, she has been thinking about how to establish a solid belief system so that more people can understand the greatness of darkness.

It is a pity that although many people are doing things according to the dark code of conduct, they still yearn for the light to shine in their hearts.

This also means that no matter how many benefits the darkness gives, they cannot keep their hearts.

In order to understand the essence of human nature, she did not rush to recruit believers and form a church, but stayed in this mixed place, patiently observing all kinds of people, what they desire, what they are willing to give, and their attitudes towards faith. how is it.

Just when she started to become interested in the two begging boys in the corner, a man with tattoos on his head and half of his face came over and sat across the table, and said in a slightly teasing voice: "Hey! Girl! You've been here for almost a week now? How about some healthy exercise with my strong me? I promise, no matter what you do in this pub, no one will be there disturb."
