Volume 1, Chapter 122 What? There’s a war in the Land of God’s Grace?

early morning.

King Cree City, in the royal palace.

It was impossible for the news of Lynch's capture of Selby City to be transmitted back in such a short time, but...

The king has exploded.

"Damn it! Damn it! How dare he!"

Sitting high up on the golden throne was a fat man dressed in gold. He was beating the handles of the throne with his fat hands. His face was full of anger, foam was flying from his mouth, and his face was a little greasy.

Maybe he used too much force, causing the fat on his body to tremble.

There were seven or eight steps below the throne, and not far below stood a group of ministers from the Kingdom of Claire dressed in gorgeous clothes.

These ministers stood casually, divided into four teams, lined up in a somewhat neat pattern, looking at the king sitting on the throne without much respect on their faces.

This is the world of the nobility. The king on the throne does not necessarily have great power. If this king did not have royal blood, I am afraid that these arrogant nobles would not even bother to look at him.

Especially since this king himself does not have much army, it is even more difficult for him to gain much respect.

The ministers all knew why the king was angry. It was nothing more than the news they had just received.

——A new legend from the mainland, the Great Earl of the Land of Grace, Number One, the guy who simply wrote the four characters of his family name as "Nicholas", led his troops to Origi Castle without asking for permission from the Kingdom of Claire!

"Your Majesty, the Land of Grace has ignored the royal authority and privately led troops to attack Fort Origi!" A minister with a long beard standing in the front shouted to the king: "Who doesn't know that the continent is in chaos now? The Earl of Grace was the first to start the attack, which undoubtedly brought great disaster to our Kingdom of Clay. Now the whole continent is saying that our Kingdom of Clay has ambitions. If we don't stop it, I'm afraid we will become the target of public criticism!"

With this minister taking the lead, many officials began to follow suit.

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Harrison has been ready to make a move recently, and the lords approaching our kingdom are ready for war!"

"Some nobles in the Principality of Flit are planning to cooperate with the Kingdom of Harrison and are preparing to attack us!"

"The prestige of the royal family has been hit, and you are unable to control the lords in the country. It's a loss of face!"

"......"

The words of those ministers were somewhat sarcastic.

The king was used to it.

This is a world of nobles, nobles who own territories and private armies. They only want to protect their territories and cannot give up their own foundations. They submit to the kingdom just to keep each other warm.

The king enjoyed power but had to serve the nobles.

Although the king was stupid, he understood that the nobles in the country were jealous of the new Earl of Shen'en and wanted to eliminate dissidents.

He was also a little angry. Lynch's actions had obviously violated the royal authority and put the entire Kingdom of Clae in danger.

However, the king is a king without his own opinion.

"Silent!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, a minister stood up, and the whole hall fell silent.

The minister was silent for a long time before he said disdainfully, "Don't forget that our Earl of God's Grace saved the Kingdom of Clay some time ago! Moreover, the Linton family has received favors from Mr. No. 1 and the Smiling Man. The Land of God's Grace was separated from the Nystad Territory! What? Do you have any opinions?"

Upon hearing this, almost all the ministers who had just spoken lowered their heads.

They were not ashamed because Lynch saved the Kingdom of Claire. For the nobles, the most important thing was interests!

What they really fear is the Nystad Territory.

As for Lynch?

To them, Lynch was just a legendary super wizard. No matter how powerful a person was, it would not necessarily be useful to power.

The nobles may die, but they always have hidden descendants who lead their armies to take revenge.

Especially the war of revenge, which can attract many other nobles to join his team, because the war will also bring them benefits.

This is a world that values ​​nobility.

The Linton family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is undoubtedly the most noble noble family, even more noble than the bloodline of the fat man sitting on the throne.

"Why, facing the lords of other countries, are you afraid? The Kingdom of Harrison has been fighting with us for many years. My territory is just near the Kingdom of Harrison. I am not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?!!"

Seeing that these nobles dared not speak, the minister laughed loudly and said, "Besides, the Land of Grace has just been occupied by Mr. No. 1 for a few days. Mr. No. 1 is going to expand the territory for our Kingdom of Clay. This is the best opportunity. If successful, it will be the glory of our Kingdom of Clay!"

The nobles in the hall rolled their eyes.

As for expanding territory, that's also the territory of the Smiling Face People and the Earl of Shen'en. What does it have to do with them?

They are afraid that when the signs of world war arise, the war will involve them.

The king took out a pink handkerchief, looked at the ministers on both sides, and wiped the sweat from his head and the oil from his face with the handkerchief.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

The Linton family's intimidation is too strong...

He asked, "What should we do now? Come up with a solution for me!"

"Issue an order to condemn the Great Count of Divine Grace and order him to return with all his troops!"

"We shouldn't start a war at this time. Even if we want to fight, we should wait for others to start first!"

"What if the orc army hears the news of the battle between Fort Origi and the Kingdom of Klei and they retreat to watch the show? We will go to war with Fort Origi and even face the possibility of an attack from the Kingdom of Harrison. What should we do then? We must get him back!"

"The Grand Earl of Divine Grace must be punished to protect the dignity of the royal family!"

"......"

Those nobles who were too idle and afraid of their own interests being damaged understood that the king was also afraid and responded one after another.

Just when the nobleman who had just spoken up to help Lynch was about to say something, a figure fell from the sky and landed at the door of the royal family.

The flapping of its wings made a loud sound, attracting the attention of all the nobles.

Wheeler Ferdinand!

As soon as he jumped from under the dragon, it fell to the ground, panting.

The flying dragon was almost exhausted to death after traveling all night!

Under the gaze of the king and all the nobles, Wheeler walked into the palace with an expressionless face.

As he walked, he said coldly: "Your Majesty, I think that the Earl of Shen'en should not be recalled."

Upon hearing this, the ministers' faces changed drastically, and even the king frowned.

But soon, their expressions relaxed and smiles gradually appeared on their faces.

Wheeler said: "The Great Earl of Divine Grace has already marched. If we want to get them back, it is too late. Moreover, the Great Earl of Divine Grace is a super-level strongman. He leads all the sub-humans. It is impossible for them to obey our orders!"

"If the Great Earl of Divine Grace is defeated, then we can explain to everyone that this was done by the Great Earl of Divine Grace on his own initiative. We can also exaggerate and say that the Great Earl of Divine Grace led a foreign race and that he is also an alien, so he is not under our control."

"If the Great Earl of God's Grace wins, we can condemn him and try to take his territory and the territory he seized from Castle Origi. We can even hand over the Great Earl of God's Grace and give an explanation to the whole world!"

"As long as we can hold on to the pressure for a while and wait until the war is over, we won't suffer any losses, right?"

The king stood up and clapped his hands happily. "Well, let's do as Grand Duke Wheeler said. No matter what, we won't suffer any loss. Great solution!"

"You are worthy of being our national mage. With you here, our Kingdom of Clay will stand firm and prosper for thousands of years!"

The king laughed.

He is indeed the most loyal wizard in the kingdom, always considering the kingdom!

The nobles looked at each other with frowns on their faces. They saw many suspicious points, but they didn't know how to explain them.

Whether the Earl of Shen'en wins or loses, the Linton family is behind him...

Besides, who would dare to touch such a powerful man as the Earl of Shen'en?

And what will happen to the beast tide once the Great Count Shen'en dies?

Some smart guys, seeing that Wheeler seemed extremely loyal to the king, had already made preparations in their hearts.

The kingdom is going to be in chaos again...
