Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Duke Ralph's shout immediately brought everyone back to their senses, and the key to the problem returned to meeting His Majesty in person.

Seeing the overwhelming emotions, the Archbishop pulled the corner of his mouth impatiently and said, "If you must see His Majesty, then follow me... When you see him, you will naturally understand my painstaking efforts."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard of the royal court without looking back. A group of confidential ministers immediately followed quickly, and Duke Ralph was at the forefront.

Everyone went straight to His Majesty's bedroom. Seeing that they were all important people, several guards outside the door knelt on one knee and saluted. After obtaining the bishop's permission, they opened the door of the bedroom.

Ralph saw the Archduke Saint Valen lying on the luxurious bed with a pale face and closed eyes. He rushed forward and asked in shock: "What happened to His Majesty? Why is he unconscious!"

The ministers gathered around, "How could this be? Your Majesty... Why was Your Majesty injured? Why did you hide it for so long?"

The Archbishop sighed and looked at the doubtful Duke Ralph with a meaningful look, "Your Excellency, do you think that you are the only one who was assassinated by the spellcaster?"

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

His Majesty was also assassinated by the spellcaster, and it seemed that he was not as lucky as Duke Ralph. Although he did not die on the spot, he was also seriously injured and unconscious... It seemed that there was no sign of recovery at all.

The young high-ranking priest said arrogantly: "If it weren't for the Archbishop and several high priests from the Holy City who took turns to cast high-level magic to prolong His Majesty's life every seven days, I'm afraid His Majesty would not have been able to hold on for so long, and you wouldn't have seen him."

Duke Ralph narrowed his eyes in panic and said slowly: "The Federation... and that Mage Lord Harvey, do they want to completely wipe out the nobles and royal families in Saint Valen?"

The hostility of the spellcasters to the nobles has reached this level? Even His Majesty, the Grand Duke, could not escape assassination, and all the dignitaries present broke out in cold sweats.

The Archbishop then said slowly: "Everyone, are you still unwilling to cooperate with us to fight against these evil spellcasters who have abandoned secular authority and belief in gods?"

After the Mage Lord captured the nobles' territory, he hanged not only the clergy of the church, but also the nobles who refused to submit to him.

…

A street-side apartment in Jinhui City, the capital of Saint Valen.

Ever since Harvey launched a surprise attack on Fengyuan City and successfully occupied the fief of Duke Ralph, the status of the intelligence chief of the capital, "Codename 007", has risen rapidly, and he has been promoted to the chief intelligence officer of Saint Valen. Even other colleagues in charge of Fengyuan City have praised him, and the intelligence network he has painstakingly built in Jinhui City has truly stabilized.

In addition to the core intelligence personnel who originally came from Xinghuo City, 007's operation for more than a year has allowed him to secretly reach out to all levels of the capital. With the title of trade director of the Farrows Royal Chamber of Commerce, he roams in the upper-class noble and wealthy circles of the capital, and is extremely sensitive to all kinds of gossips from the royal court.

At the same time, he also used coercion and inducement to control a medium-powered black street gang in the lower city. He had spies among the thugs, beggars, prostitutes and pickpockets - he could get money just by asking and passing on information, and these low-class people living at the bottom of society didn't care who they worked for.

"His Majesty the Grand Duke was assassinated and seriously injured, and the church claimed among the dignitaries that it was us who did it?" 007 slammed the water cup on the table and sneered, "Since the outbreak of the rot, their means of framing and slandering have remained the same."

Anvil himself was a direct victim of the rot outbreak, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and said angrily: "These despicable and shameless charlatans!"

He suppressed his anger and continued to report the information he had heard from Duke Ralph's nephew, "At present, the church has temporarily twisted the nobles of Jinhui City into a rope, and is ready to deal with the city lord's army coming from Fengyuan City. Duke Ralph volunteered Yong, intends to lead a Royal City Guard of several hundred people to block the Alva River... They intend to use dragon flame powder to blow up the narrow river mouth with many reefs, completely blocking our route to the capital by water. "

007 tapped the table lightly, "Has the news been repeatedly confirmed?"

"According to the intelligence verification process, it has been confirmed three times..." Tiezhen said seriously, "I heard it from the children of the nobles..."

Another intelligence officer codenamed "Groundhog" learned the same news from the Royal City Guard soldier he met. The guard was one of the candidates who was appointed to take on this job.

In addition, a female intelligence officer codenamed "Spider" also heard the same rumor from the family chat at the home of a dignitary involved in this matter.

007 hummed with satisfaction, "Tell the gang rats at the dock to keep a close eye on the movements of this group of people, and report to me immediately if they take action."

Blocking the river is not good news for the intelligence personnel of Jinhui City - the army of the Lord of the City naturally does not care about attacking the capital from the water, but if the river is severely damaged, a large number of merchant ships transporting goods from the west to the north will stop at Jinhui City, and it will be difficult to supply the border areas with correspondingly scarce commodity resources to the north.

And it would be quite troublesome to reopen the river in the later stage. If I cannot try to stop the other party's crazy behavior, I, as the chief of intelligence, may need to bear some responsibility for dereliction of duty.

After talking about the most important business, Tiezhen pursed his lips and said bitterly: "The surrounding areas of the capital are forcibly conscripting civilians and sending them to the border continuously. The war between them and Daes has been going on for more than half a year, but people have gone... but no one has returned."

This kind of well-known news is not valuable intelligence.

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, 6, 9, and one forum!

007 was stunned for a moment. In order to ensure that his identity would not be exposed by a traitor, intelligence personnel did not know each other's personal information. "Do you have relatives in the countryside? Were they also forcibly conscripted?"

Anvil's eyes turned red, and he smiled bitterly: "Sir, they are all dead... When the plague broke out, they didn't hold on on the way to the north."

His boss didn't know what to say to comfort him, and was embarrassed... Suddenly, he heard a faint dripping sound from the bedroom.

007 immediately got up and flashed into the bedroom, dragging out the magic brain communication device from under the bed with ease. It was a direct order from Spark City!

He only took a quick glance, and his heart jumped!

When he opened the bedroom door again and walked out, with an irrepressible smile on his face, Tiezhen quickly approached and asked, "Sir, are there any new mission instructions?"

"Hahaha!" 007 couldn't help laughing, his tone filled with unspeakable joy and excitement, "Don't worry about them blowing up the river."

Tiezhen was refreshed, "Will reinforcements come and help us stop them?"

"No, no, no!" 007 shook his head and said bluntly, "The city lord's army has set out from Fengyuan City and is sailing downstream on ironclad ships. The nobles may not be able to block the river in time, and will have to watch the city lord's army approach the city with their own eyes!"
