The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 77 Rebellion

After more than a year of construction and improvement, the base is now basically on the right track.

Su Nan didn't need to handle most of the chores. The clay golem and three apprentices were responsible for it.

In addition to occasionally caring about the conditions of the magic plantation garden, he focused more on meditation, making magic weapons, and making potions.

Mental strength and skill proficiency are both steadily increasing.

It was thought that this situation would continue until he was promoted to the third level wizard apprentice, but what happened next broke Sunan's stable life.

Starlight calendar year 1251, the month of flowing fire.

The principality's reinforcements stationed in Ranshuang Province were besieged by infected people who suddenly appeared from multiple directions during the annihilation of Yinling City. They suffered heavy losses and left very few survivors.

The disaster in Yanshuang Province was completely eroded, and the army of infected people immediately spread to neighboring provinces.

The borders of Hongye Province, Baita Province and Hulan Province were successively attacked by an army of infected people and were in danger.

The three marquis quickly mobilized heavy troops to station at the border to resist the invasion of the infected.

For a time, the entire southwestern direction of the principality was filled with the smoke of war.

Chamber.

Sunan frowned slightly after reading the battle report in his hand.

"The disaster spread too quickly, and the several military crackdowns failed too unusually."

"Sure enough, you think so too." Key handed over a letter, "This is the letter sent by President Mu Zhuo, take a look."

Su Nan took the envelope, opened it, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The content of the letter was very concise. The general idea was that Mu Zhuo sent his bodyguard, the lycanthrope Ota, to Ranshuang Province to investigate the lycanthropy outbreak.

As a result, when he got there, Ota discovered that the place where his own tribe lived had long been deserted, and all the tribesmen had disappeared.

He followed the traces to investigate, but accidentally discovered that a group of mysterious people were controlling people infected with lycanthropy behind the scenes.

Just when he wanted to continue the investigation, he was discovered by the other party. After a fierce battle, he successfully escaped at the cost of serious injuries.

After that, Ota did not dare to stay in Ranshuang Province any longer and fled back to Jinghua Principality overnight.

After learning what happened from Ota, Mu Zhuo immediately realized how deep the water behind the incident was and decisively terminated the investigation.

Out of kindness to Shining Collar, he then wrote this letter to inform Key and Sunan of the information.

"In other words, this outbreak of lycanthropy is indeed driven by someone behind the scenes."

Sunan put down the envelope and looked thoughtfully.

"What is the purpose of the mastermind behind this?"

"Could it be caused by other countries?" Key said.

The Starlight Continent is not peaceful. Every year, wars break out between countries over territorial resources.

For example, the Cangjin Empire, which borders the Principality of Stars, has always been eyeing the Principality of Stars.

If it weren't for the fact that the Cangjin Empire had just ended the war and needed to recuperate, it might have launched a large-scale attack on the Fanxing Principality.

Su Nan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's unlikely."

"To be able to direct a disaster that affects several provinces, the mastermind behind it must have deep-rooted influence in the principality. Other countries do not have this energy."

Ke Yi thought so too.

If other countries had this strength, there would be better ways to conquer the Principality of Stars, and there would be no need to use such a method with huge consequences.

Even if they succeed in seizing the Principality of Stars in this way, what they will get in the end is just a mess.

"But if that's not the case, then who is behind it?" Key asked doubtfully.

Su Nan said calmly: "No matter who it is, the mastermind behind the scenes must have a huge plan, and the movement will not be small. Now that the disaster has spread to this point, it is almost time for the other party to jump out."

As if to confirm Sunan's words, Keyi's secretary suddenly walked into the meeting hall in a hurry. "Lord, there is new information coming from Jinyan City."

When he heard that it was about Jinyan City, Keyi suddenly looked a little more serious. He quickly took the parchment from the clerk's hand, opened it and read it carefully.

After reading the above content, Keyi's face had become extremely solemn.

He looked up at Sunan and said in a solemn tone: "The Marquis of Jinyan has rebelled!"

Sunan was slightly startled.

"Just this morning, the Marquis of Jinyan declared the independence of Jinyan Province from the Principality of Stars!"

"Earl of Stormwind, Earl of Winter Frost, Viscount Blackpool and Viscount Quetzalcoatl have responded one after another. Now they have raised the banner of rebellion and formed a coalition!"

Su Nan's expression changed and he said clearly: "I see, it seems that the mastermind behind this lycanthropy incident is most likely the Marquis of Jinyan."

Key had already figured it out by this time.

The Marquis of Jinyan started a rebellion and used the power of one province to fight against the other six provinces of the principality. It seemed very unwise.

But the time he chose was just right.

At present, Ranshuang Province is almost in ruins, and its army has long been crippled, so there is nothing to worry about.

Hongye Province, Baita Province and Hulan Province are facing the invasion of an army of infected people. They are too busy to take care of themselves and cannot spare any effort to deal with the Marquis of Jinyan.

The remaining Suoman Province and Zizhu Province are safe for the time being.

However, the comprehensive strength of these two provinces ranks at the bottom of the entire principality, and together they are not as good as the Golden Rock Province.

Even if they don't deal with the Marquis of Jinyan, the Marquis of Jinyan will probably attack them.

In other words, his initial target is very likely to be these two provinces.

Taking advantage of the spread of the disaster, he swallowed the Suoman Province and the Zizhu Province to increase his strength, and then plotted other provinces.

Of course, it is also possible that the Marquis of Jinyan just happened to be involved in the disaster and was not the mastermind behind it.

Just thinking that the Marquis of Jinyan had started planning to control the entire Jinyan Province many years ago, it is really unlikely that he had no expectations of the situation at this time.

"We need to prepare early." Key said in a deep voice.

Sunan also nodded solemnly.

Before the Marquis of Jinyan launches a war, the first thing he must do is to eliminate the thorny forces in the province.

After years of secret development, there are now very few noble lords in Jinyan Province who disobey the Marquis of Jinyan.

It just so happens that Glitter Collar is one of them, and the one who dances the most.

It can be predicted that the Marquis of Jinyan will definitely be the first to send troops to attack the Shining Leader.

Considering the worst-case scenario, what the Shining Leader will face next is likely to be a coalition of nobles from most of the Golden Rock Province.

The situation is not serious!

However, neither Keyi nor Sunan looked panicked.

The two of them had known for a long time that sooner or later the Shining Leader would face off against the Marquis of Jinyan.

The reason why I am working so hard to accumulate strength is to prepare for this time.

So when it really happened, the two of them had a strange feeling of relief that it had finally happened.

"Winter is about to begin in more than three months. The Marquis of Jinyan definitely wants to end the war before heavy snow blocks the road. I estimate that he will send a large army to attack us soon."

"We must prepare for war immediately."
