However, upon closer examination, it makes some sense, since those who can be ranked among the nobility are naturally not lacking in wisdom and resourcefulness.
Whose idea was it that the Marquis of Sancher brought the demi-humans from the Clevina family to his door?
It was obviously the Clevina family's idea!
So, should they give it to the demi-human or not?
Despite reports that the Grand Duke of Barlow had severely damaged Victor, this would at most inspire ordinary people.
As nobles, they considered things more deeply.
Even if Viktor really can't beat Grand Duke Balo, they still can't beat Viktor!
Most importantly, the news of the fight between Grand Duke Barlow and Victor came out of nowhere from Shulbon.
Without any prior warning, who can verify the authenticity of this news?
And who dares to verify it?
Even if someone did see Viktor seriously injured, they wouldn't believe a word of it!
Don't forget, ten years ago there were rumors that Viktor was already dead!
And what was the result?
Those who believed it are still in prison.
After their release from prison, they will have to pay a large sum of compensation to the Clevner family!
Therefore, the news of "serious injury" is likely just a cover-up.
If even the Marquis of Sancher could think of something, other nobles certainly wouldn't overlook it either.
Besides, regardless of whether Victor can defeat Grand Duke Balor, he is absolutely capable of blowing up the entire kingdom!
So much so that, in order to avoid incurring Victor's wrath, these nobles even went so far as to capture more demi-humans and personally deliver them to the Marquis's doorstep.
As a result, more demi-humans were sent than expected.
The Marquis de Sancher was both amused and exasperated by this, and then added:
“I have told them that every demi-human has a chance to gain freedom as long as they perform well in this war.”
"Furthermore, I have brought troops from my territory to support this battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bear-man gave the marquis a deep look and said calmly:
“My lord, you are very kind.”
In fact, this war did not require outside assistance.
After all, everyone knows that a game with Viktor is bound to be a winning game.
Nevertheless, the Marquis of Sancher still led his troops there.
On the one hand, after this war, Shulbourne will inevitably face large-scale reconstruction, and the entire city may even be razed to the ground.
At that time, each nobleman may need to contribute funds to support the reconstruction of Shulbon.
The Marquis of Sancher, who participated in the war, was exempted from paying any additional expenses because he had the pretext of supporting the war effort.
Of course, he could also donate a sum of money to Shulbourne in his personal capacity to gain fame.
In this way, the Marquis of Sancher's name will be remembered by more residents.
On the other hand, he was also pursuing fame.
After all, the Marquis of Sancher was implementing an action that could be described as a reform of the kingdom, making the status of demi-humans equal to that of humans.
Therefore, Sancher needs more military achievements and fame.
Intelligent men like the Marquis of Sancher know how to seize opportunities, and therefore, Helnersen also made it clear:
“Our master will be very happy to cooperate with you.”
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Sancher smiled, placed his hand lightly on his chest, bowed politely, and said elegantly:
"Then I look forward to victory in this war."
...
Lorelei's singing, like a melodious brook, resounded beautifully throughout Shulbon, echoing under the vast sky.
At that moment, all the believers writhing on the ground stopped their frantic shouts and looked in the direction of the song.
Even the residents who had moved to other safe places gradually came to their senses from the chaos, and reason seemed to be awakened by magic and returned to their eyes.
The pupils of the stars that blotted out the sky fell silent, slowly ceasing their twinkling, and gazing upon everything beneath the earth.
Even Priscilla, who was floating in the air, was stunned.
What happened?
Why would singing suddenly start at this moment?
Priscilla was skeptical, but the more she listened, the more amazed she became.
The song entered her ears, and unexpectedly, it brought a sense of clarity and gentleness, as if all the filth in her heart had been washed away.
Just then, Viktor's calm voice suddenly broke the silence beneath the singing:
"Why do you look so surprised?"
Priscilla was slightly taken aback, thinking that Victor was speaking to her.
But then, all those menacing gazes in the sky focused on the clock tower.
Suddenly, that eerie gaze filled Priscilla with a heavy sense of pressure.
Although those gazes weren't directed at her directly, even a fleeting glance was enough to make her feel her reason crumble.
The person being watched by these countless intense gazes...
Viktor remained standing there calmly, seemingly unconcerned by the intense stares.
Just then, a chaotic and distorted sound came from the sky, like the clamorous drumbeats from a muddy swamp:
"You...you really are...the one who has defiled the goddess..."
"Evil... will be eradicated."
But suddenly, Viktor's tone rose in a playful tone:
You're calling me evil?
Ha ha ha ha……
The ferocious and maniacal laughter echoed in the darkness.
It was as if a terrifying beast was struggling in the darkness, challenging the ancient mystery with its mocking cries.
Although Victor never actually laughed, the surrounding laughter seemed to have its own will, making it all the more sinister and evil.
In an instant, a light flashing with a ghostly green flame suddenly rose from his body, like a will-o'-the-wisp burning.
