Chapter 410 Queen, You Don’t Want to…
After hearing the Duke of Thorn's request, the noble queen left the Duke of Thorn's tent and went to find Rand.
Of course the queen wanted to say something, but she also knew that she had no right to speak now.
The queen herself is a princess from another country, so the probability of her being executed is lower than that of her son.
After all, we have to consider the relationship with other countries, right? It is very likely that she will be sent back to her parents' home as a princess.
But she could not bear to see her only bloodline die at such an age. She was sure that she would go crazy if she really encountered such a scene.
She has a lot to give for this.
The queen soon arrived in front of Rand's tent.
The same needs to be reported.
Then Rand, with a hickey on his neck, walked out of the tent.
"Your Majesty." Rand saluted.
When Rand saw the queen coming, he basically guessed that Lord Thorn was pushing the trouble onto him.
However, this may be very troublesome for Grand Duke of Thorn, because Grand Duke of Thorn himself wants to usurp the throne, and he is a cousin of the dead king and has a good relationship with him.
It is really difficult for the Duke of Thorn to deal with the Queen and the Three Princes, both emotionally and practically.
It is completely understandable that he pushed the blame to Rand. It should not be just because he is afraid of trouble.
On the contrary, Rand actually found this matter quite easy to handle, it was just house arrest.
Killing him would be a naked act of regicide and usurpation of the throne, which would be a devastating blow to the reputation of the Duke of Thorn and would also be bad for the diplomacy of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
Just handle the house arrest properly and don't let this mother and son have any unnecessary ambitions.
Even if Grand Duke Thorn quits his job in the future, the Third Prince will not succeed to the throne.
Anyway, Rand's idea is to choose between the Torch Church Monastery or the Mother Goddess Sect Monastery.
"Grand Duke Thorn said that you will decide our fate." The queen's azure eyes stared at Rand's black pupils. "As long as you are willing to let us go, I... I can do anything..."
On the side, Taner walked by with bandages on his body.
He was really injured, and the injury was not light, but when Rand asked him if he needed treatment, Taner firmly refused.
As a top-level heavy-armored warrior, Taner has a good physique, so there is no hindrance to his normal activities now.
Taner planned to go out for a walk and see if anyone needed help. It would be uncomfortable to lie in bed all the time.
And just make some records so that I can review it with Fenris and Rand when I go back.
Taner's ability to command war was developed in this way.
But now the atmosphere seems a little wrong.
A gorgeously dressed, beautiful and sad beauty stood in front of Rand, staring at him with her blue eyes, her voice trembling a little.
The beauty also noticed Taner, but did not look back.
Taner recognized the identity of the beauty and left decisively.
The queen, and the three princes.
He was just a general and couldn't help with anything like this, so Taner fled decisively.
Rand was a little embarrassed.
As soon as the queen opened her mouth, the atmosphere became strange. It felt like Rand was going to threaten the queen to do something.
Although, Rand did want to say: Queen, you don't want your son...
I have wanted to say this for a long time. As an "evil" cult leader, he has really not done many bad things.
In bed, Rand had tried it with several high-ranking officials in the den.
But Rand had never really tried to use this trick outside.
Rand would still be very interested if he could perform it.
But it was just to scare you.
If he really threatened the queen to serve him... Rand admitted that the queen was indeed quite charming, but Rand felt that he could still control his belt. If he really did, there would probably be a lot of trouble afterwards.
Cao Cao in the previous life is a lesson for us!
Now the Queen probably can't stand the intimidation anymore.
At this time, Ellie came out, looking a little sleepy.
There were also hickeys on her neck.
These days were Ellie time, and Ellie didn't waste it.
Ellie looked at the pitiful queen standing there, and then looked at Rand who was looking back at her.
Ellie clapped her fists together, understanding the situation.
She coughed twice, then said calmly: "Queen, you don't want to..., wuwu——"
Ellie's mouth was covered by Rand.
Rand glared at Ellie awkwardly, signaling her to stop talking nonsense, and then apologized, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You and Your Royal Highness don't have to worry about your future life. The monastery in the holiday resort will prepare everything for you."
After hearing Rand's comfort and assurance, the queen was still very worried.
Of course she knew something about the holiday villa, which was the core base of Count Rand of the Moon Phase.
Being there means being completely under the control of Count Moon Phase.
That’s nothing, it’s good enough to survive the defeat in the battle for the throne.
But can she really survive? Now she obviously has no bargaining power.
In fact, if Count Moon Phase really bullied her, she would feel more at ease.
But obviously, Count Moon Phase had no such interest.
This made her a little worried.
The queen left with the third prince somewhat worriedly.
Rand returned to the tent.
It was almost evening now, and he planned to rest for the night before going back to work.
For example, dealing with issues in the royal palace.
This job was assigned to Rand.
Karin comes and says there might be a problem in the palace.
Therefore, the neutrals did not enter the palace to work.
The problems in the palace might be difficult to deal with, so Rand’s plan was to wait for the soldiers, the high-level fighters, to have a good rest and then deal with them tomorrow.
Karin also needed to rest, so she rushed over exhausted.
When the time comes, take Karin with you. Rand doesn't believe that any evil force can fight against Karin and his elite cattle and horse cavalry.
There is also a team of paladins in Rand's personal guard.
If that doesn't work, Rand will buff Karin.
There are only a few guards outside the palace now to prevent anyone from entering the palace without permission.
…
It was almost dusk.
This is the north, and the autumn evening is already a bit cold.
The eldest prince personally led the elite troops through the tunnel.
The city was now out of his control, but now, there would be a chance to take it back.
The eldest prince knew that this operation was risky and that Rand and Grand Duke of Thorn were definitely not easy to deal with.
Many elite and powerful people were brought here this time, and Grand Duke of Thorn and Rand should not be aware of this raid.
It was quite unexpected.
Having planned this far, there is nothing more that can be done.
The next step is to fight hard.
After winning the battle, the Frost Moon Kingdom was reunited. From then on, there was no more opposition and the royal authority was continued.
Even though he lost the battle, the Duke of Thorn might not be a bad king.
The tunnel was dull and after walking for a while, the strong men under the eldest prince moved the stone slab and the exit appeared before their eyes.
The autumn wind is cool.
The eldest prince's armor is now painted and does not reflect light.
The eldest prince looked back into the dark passage and glanced at the soldiers beside him: "Let's go!"
Everyone headed towards the palace in an orderly manner.
The palace's ruins lights now glowed spontaneously.
Make the palace look bright even at dusk.
The plan is simple. Now that the Duke of Thorn is trying to usurp the throne, he is most likely in the palace. The probability that Rand is in the palace at this time is also high.
First break through the palace's defense which may not even exist, and capture Grand Duke Thorn and Rand depending on the situation. If you cannot capture them, kill them.
If he is not in the palace, search the city immediately.
The plan was very simple. The eldest prince did not want to kill Grand Duke Thorn and Rand. If these two people could be kept under house arrest and used by his side, then the Frost Moon Kingdom would definitely become powerful.
Although the eldest prince hated the neutral faction who wanted to usurp the throne, he recognized their abilities.
The palace was not well guarded, with only a few guards.
Looks like I'm lucky.
The eldest prince exhaled slightly.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
…
In the palace, the king had already risen from the ice coffin.
Dry face, dark green eyes.
His skin was pale, his veins were a shocking blue, and his fingers were slender and sharp like claws. The luxurious clothes were burned away, replaced by a suit of black armor that emitted a strange dark light. A scarlet gem was inlaid in the center of the breastplate, like a beating heart, surrounded by twisted runes.
The king's eyes were cold and deep, with a golden crown on his head. His hands were tightly grasping a huge black sword, with restless green flames wrapped around the blade.
The skeleton on the side was a little excited.
It seems to have been successful.
It's a Death Knight.
A Death Knight is a rare high-level undead. Generally, only a knight or paladin who is skilled in martial arts, strong in physique, and determined in will can be transformed into a Death Knight after death.
The appearance of a Death Knight often becomes a nightmare for small and medium-sized nobles.
But it goes far beyond that.
The king was favored by the Apostle of the Scourge and connected to the Obsidian Tower of the City of the Dead.
In other words, the King can obtain nearly endless energy from the Tower as long as the Tower allows it.
This is incredible. In theory, it is impossible for the obsidian tower of the City of the Dead to transmit power across such a long distance.
The Stand Skeleton itself is completely unable to connect to the Obsidian Tower.
The bloody battle continued for half a year around the royal city, with death and corpses everywhere.
It is true that reviving the dead without an altar would cause great losses, but the king's power is endless.
Maybe, based on this, we can also set off a frenzy of the undead.
At this moment, the eldest prince rushed into the palace.
There were no guards in the palace, and the silence made the eldest prince a little confused.
The eldest prince walked all the way into the palace hall.
The person sitting on the throne was not the expected Duke of Thorns.
Rather, the king.
The eldest prince's father.
The Death Knight King gazed at his eldest son, the eldest prince, with his deep green eyes.
The eldest prince's face suddenly changed.
He totally didn't understand what was going on.
The Queen's faction was defeated by the Neutral faction, who then entered the city.
This is information we knew before.
Then what? Where did Lord Thorn and Lord Moon Phase Rand go?
He wouldn't be killed by the Death Knight in front of him. "My son." The Death Knight wearing a golden crown on the throne spoke.
The eldest prince frowned deeply.
Although he had guessed this just now, he still felt shocked and angry now that it was confirmed.
How dare someone turn the King of Frost Moon Kingdom into a Death Knight?
What a blasphemy this is.
But now, the Great Prince has no time to deal with this Death Knight. What is more important now is to deal with the Grand Duke of Thorns and the Count of the Moon.
This is the only chance to break into the royal city through the secret passage.
If it drags on for too long, and if Grand Duke Thorn and Count Moon Phase react, then it will be completely over.
The royal family of the Frost Moon Kingdom may change from now on.
The situation before him did make the Great Prince very angry, but a Death Knight could not cause any waves in such a place, and the Great Prince did not think that it was the work of the Grand Duke of Thorns and Rand.
A Death Knight in the countryside can be a nightmare to a barony or even a viscounty.
But in the royal city.
There is more than one top-level professional around the eldest prince.
Deal with the Lord of Thorns and Rand, then come back to deal with the Death Knight.
The skeleton beside the Death Knight stared at the eldest prince with greedy dark green flaming eyes.
Another royal bloodline of pure descent.
Moreover, he is younger and has better talent. If only he could receive the same sacred and great power of the Apostle of the Scourge.
So……
This skeleton felt that his chance to raise a tide of undead in the Frostmoon Royal City, become the incarnation of the Scourge, and then be promoted to the Archbishop of the Scourge was right in front of him.
The skeleton couldn't speak, so he just pointed his finger at the eldest prince.
The Death Knight King stood up and pointed his huge black sword wrapped in green flames at the eldest prince.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the hall was getting colder and colder, and it even seemed like frost was about to form.
The green flame representing death spread out at the feet of the Death Knight and began to spread throughout the palace.
The eldest prince suddenly felt the pressure.
After his father became a Death Knight, it actually brought him a lot of pressure.
Obviously no ordinary Death Knight.
It is a well-known fact that royal bloodlines are more tolerant, but almost no royal family would accept evil forces.
The previous one seemed to be his uncle. During the civil war, his uncle accepted the power of the god of struggle.
But he was still young at that time and did not personally participate in the war, so he didn't know what the scene was like at that time.
"Destroy it first." The eldest prince had no choice but to give the order.
The elite knights charged, and the most powerful men around the eldest prince also attacked their former king.
…
At this time in the City of the Dead, the undead were already marching in mighty force.
The undead do not march very fast.
But there is no end.
The undead do not need to set up camp, collect firewood, or rest.
Before the arrival of this winter, we will be able to enter the borders of the Kingdom of Lensa and the Kingdom of Borun.
The top leaders of the Scourge Cult were certain that the Kingdoms of Rensa and Borun were ready.
But they believed that the Kingdom of Rensa and the Kingdom of Borun would not be a match for the Undead Scourge.
The high-ranking members of the Scourge Cult stood on top of the Obsidian Tower, controlling this tower burning with green flames to deliver power to the undead.
At this moment, a bishop of the Scourge Cult discovered the situation.
"In... the Frost Moon Kingdom, there is a need for the power of death." The bishop was a little confused. It should be impossible to transmit it so far.
The Archbishop of the Scourge Cult came over and said after feeling it for a while: "It seems that the Frost Moon Kingdom's defense is not as strict as we imagined."
It's sacrifice time again!
"A Hogwarts Defense Assistant" Hogwarts welcomes a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor - several years later, Voldemort makes a comeback, and as soon as he is resurrected, he hears a sentence "Expelliarmus!" and is immediately pinned to the ground. "Senior, come quickly! I caught Voldemort! Now we will definitely pass the graduation exam!"
