Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Archduke Fernand also knew that his reason was far-fetched. After all, he had never seen the Principality of Belgium spend so much time to wipe out the orc fleet in so many years. If the orcs had a fleet, why were they so active this year?

But that's not the main purpose of his coming today. A reasonable excuse would be enough.

"Duke Stewart, if you are willing to sell, I can buy all your battleships and heavy cruisers at twice the price, but there is a small condition."

"What are the conditions? Your Excellency, please tell me."

"That is NATO giving up free escort."

Christine smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "Your Majesty the Grand Duke, the Principality of Belgium is also a party to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. How can you say such interesting things? There is never a provision in the convention that escorts are free."

Archduke Fernand's eyes widened and he said, "But this is what the navy led by you Stewart does, and the same goes for the navies of countries such as the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Elf."

Christine's smile remained unchanged and she asked: "I do, what's wrong? Is this a violation of the three major covenants or a violation of the laws of my Kingdom of France?"

This sentence almost shocked Archduke Fernand to death, but I am willing to do it. What's wrong? It didn't matter, because there was nothing anyone could do about Christine. To put it bluntly, this is the most common practice of burning money to seize the market. After forcing competitors to death, they can then raise prices to recoup their initial investment.

Kristen relied on the size advantage of the Stuart leader to earn reputation by destroying pirates and providing free escorts. If the Poseidon Church and the Principality of Bihe followed, they would have to fight for financial resources. This is what she is least afraid of. When the time comes, just kill Poseidon, grab the believers, and then turn free into paid. If you don't follow, then wait for death.

As for why the elves support her, it is naturally because Christine is half of the elves, and after she becomes a god, she will definitely maintain good friendship with the elves and gods. Besides, Christine didn't let the elf fleet work in vain. She also provided compensation in terms of trade and other aspects. After all, she didn't let the elves pay for it themselves.

For the elves and gods, if they can get a true god ally by losing money, it is an extremely suitable deal, and it doesn't cost money.

After Kristen became Poseidon, she was not afraid of others repeating the same tricks, because Stewart now occupies more than one-third of the coastline of the Western Continent. Merchant ships traveling north or south must supply supplies in her territory. This geographical advantage ensures that Revenue from maritime trade will not be reduced.

In a money-burning war, you must first have money to burn. If you don't have enough money in the end, you will die.

When Archduke Fernand saw Christine talking like this, he naturally had no need to save face for her. He said sternly: "Duke Stewart, don't think that others can't see what your plans are. If you can agree to my terms, then... The matter ends here, otherwise it will be a provocation to the Principality of Belgium.”

Christine blinked with an innocent look on her face: "Am I provoking the Principality of Benedictine? Did I do something wrong in destroying the pirates? Or did I do something wrong in escorting the merchant ship? Your Excellency, don't talk nonsense, be careful as I go to the Church of the God of Order. Sue you."

This makes Fernand very angry. He is being despised by a little girl one after another. Does he lose face?

Snapped! With a bang, he slapped the table and stood up, saying loudly: "Duke Stuart, today I declare war on your Stuart Territory on behalf of the Principality of Bihe! Baron Peter, write a declaration of war!"

Archduke Fernand did this in advance. As soon as he declared war, his confidants would immediately send a message to the ambush legend, and the mage would use "teleportation" to bring people over. The so-called writing a declaration of war on the spot is just a tactic to delay time.

When she heard the other party declare war, Christine looked at Archduke Fernand with caring eyes and thought to herself: "Isn't he mad?"

In terms of the size of the fleet, the navy led by Stewart is now far superior to the navy of the Principality of the Netherlands. Once the port is blocked, the other side will no longer be able to make any more money from maritime trade. Regarding the army, because the Kingdom of France borders the Principality of Belgium, the army led by Stewart can directly invade the other country.

You must know that the Principality of Bihe was not without losses in the demonic disaster. The strength of the nobles at all levels is now only half of what it was before the war, while the Stewart Territory has been expanding its army. It is no exaggeration to say that the number of troops under Stuart's command now is three times that of the Principality of Belgium. These are not just militiamen but well-equipped formal soldiers.

But since you want to declare war, let's fight. Christine didn't think she would lose, so she wouldn't refuse the land that came to her.

Just when Archduke Fernand personally handed over the declaration of war, a sudden violent fluctuation of space magic came, and someone was using "teleportation".

"what's the situation?"

Christine and others got up and were about to go out to check the situation. Unexpectedly, the legendary mage standing behind Archduke Fernand suddenly used the eighth-level spell scroll "Dimensional Lock", and an invisible wave restricted the teleportation spell. At the same time, the ninth-level mage who was the secretary used the "Dimensional Anchor" spell scroll.

Carlotani's first reaction was to shadow step behind the legendary mage and stab him in the heart with the dagger in her hand. Unfortunately, the dagger's attack activated the passive protection magic items on the opponent's body, generating "Mage Armor" and "Stone Skin". The most important thing is that the legendary mage teleported away the moment before the "Dimensional Anchor" took effect, so that the dagger only penetrated half a centimeter.

Alicia immediately activated the magic ring on her body, and a fourth-level spell "Lightning Javelin" killed the ninth-level mage on the spot. However, the "Dimensional Anchor" had already taken effect, killing the person. Even dying won't solve the problem.

While the legendary mage activated the scroll, the legendary knight picked up Archduke Fernand and ran outside. Although Christine was not caught off guard by this incident, she could not let them run away, so she drew out the "Revenge Sword" and Rushed over.

Since the sword's built-in "Anti-Enemy Opportunity" skill was activated, the opponent was unable to dodge the sword, but was blocked. Christian took advantage of the situation and activated the "trample" skill, which allowed the opponent to take half of the damage even if he blocked it.

However, because the legendary knight was also carrying Archduke Fernand, the damage was borne by both of them. The legendary knight suffered only a minor injury, and his physical fitness would not affect anything. But Archduke Fernand was only a fifth-level knight. After such a blow, a mouthful of blood spurted out. If he was not treated in time, he might die.
