Chapter 416: The Blood Emperor's Distress
The red-eyed owl is becoming shriveled up quickly!
The bright red flowers, the size of fists, became brighter and brighter, blooming completely on the monster's corpse.
From a visual point of view, the flowers are very beautiful. If they can be sold to the royal capital, they will surely attract the favor of many noble ladies.
"Gulp~"
Gegelan stared at the big red flower, and this thought inexplicably flashed through his mind. Then his throat moved and he swallowed, as if he wanted to eat this bright red flower as soon as possible.
Next moment!
The "Tornado Crown" equipped on the top of the head emits a faint blue light.
Gegelan suddenly woke up, his eyes fixed, and he took another step back. At the same time, he quickly looked at his companions and warned: "There is something wrong with this flower!"
At this time.
Lakyus, Tina, and Tia from [Blue Rose] all changed their expressions.
Several of them had magical items of "mental resistance" on them, and the moment they were affected by the bright red flowers, the items' defense was triggered.
"what happened?"
Evileye looked at Lakyus in confusion, having clearly noticed something unusual about the others.
As an undead being, he naturally has complete mental resistance, so he was not affected at all.
"Enri..."
Lakyus's bright emerald eyes didn't respond immediately. Instead, he quickly glanced at Enri. Seeing that she was also unaffected, he felt relieved.
"Is this the effect of the "Clear Sword"?"
"Captain Lakyus, this bright red flower?" Enri pressed her right hand on the hilt of the sword, worry in her eyes.
"Well, I think I've found the reason why the red-eyed owl became like this."
Lakyus opened his lips seriously and exhaled through his pink teeth. "This is not good news."
At the same time, within the kingdom.
The "Warrior Captain Legion" led by Gazef.
The "Crimson Rose Army" led by Renas.
They also set out from the royal capital and headed for the border town of "E-Rantel" to deal with the kingdom's nobles who had long been corrupt and content with pleasure.
This time, they did not wait for the Empire to launch harassment, but took the initiative to attack.
This is obviously not due to "chivalry" or courage that comes out of nowhere, but the result of the entanglement of interests of all parties.
Gazef represents the "royal faction", while Lenas represents the "aristocratic faction"!
——The Bahas Empire.
Imperial capital Owental.
White light shines through the glass window decorations and onto the red carpet. The priceless curtains made of green, black and gold on both sides sway gently in the breeze.
This is an inner chamber located in the imperial palace.
The man known as the "Blood Emperor" supported his chin with one arm and gently pressed his tired temple with the other.
The blue gem pendant on the earlobe swayed slightly with the movement of the head, revealing slender purple eyes under the slightly curly golden hair.
The handsomeness and beauty of ancient Greece are undoubtedly demonstrated in the seventh-generation emperor, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
There is nothing to worry about in the country recently. With his prestige, everything is proceeding according to plan.
Just in this world.
There will always be "accidents" that are beyond your planning.
"Lenas Lockbles."
"Blood Emperor" Jircniv whispered the name softly, his purple eyes gleaming with an icy light.
"Everything else can be forgiven, but this crazy woman must be put to an end!"
The appearance of this crazy woman poured a basin of cold water called "shame" on the growing flame of his prestige.
Although it was crazy to exterminate one's own family and in-laws through marriage, the "Blood Emperor" Jircniv did not find it difficult to accept.
What really made him angry!
It was this woman who actually gave up everything and defected from the Bahas Empire, and the place she fled to was the Kingdom of Re-Estize.
The impact of this incident was extremely bad, especially for the old-fashioned people who were suppressed by him. They used this incident to criticize the policies he implemented.
Linking Lenas's defection to the policies being implemented!
"snort."
“Blood Emperor” Jircniv snorted.
He didn't care about the actions of these corrupt nobles, and even hoped that they would jump more.
The blood of this group of people is enough to cleanse all the noisy sounds.
What he cares about is this "shame"!
In this world, the bravery of an individual can surpass that of hundreds of soldiers. The departure of a strong person like Renas is a loss to the country and can even cause a decline in the country's overall military strength.
The other party's joining the Kingdom of Li Yestije has enhanced their strength. The loss caused by the increase and decrease is immeasurable.
Ding! Ding!
There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in."
The cold expression on the Blood Emperor Jircniv disappeared without a trace in an instant, and turned into a confident smile and attitude.
It makes the whole person look very sunny and approachable, like a gentle and cheerful young man.
Nobles were all good at acting, especially for emperors, as it was a necessary course.
The door opened.
The first person to enter was a strong warrior wearing heavy armor. He was one of the Four Horsemen, "Immovable" Nazami Ainek.
He excels at fighting with a two-handed shield, and his defensive style earns him the nickname "The Toughest Knight."
Follow behind the other person.
He is not a strong person, but rather thin, with a pair of extremely aggressive eyes, which makes people who see him think of the creature "wolf" at the first time.
"Welcome."
The smile on the face of "Blood Emperor" Jircniv became even more friendly:
"Kulev Palantinen, the Rotten Wolf."
The opponent is the 7th generation Martial King, who was once defeated by Ge Jin. However, after Ge Jin left, he was invited back to the Imperial Arena by Osk.
His strength has become even stronger than before, and he was able to defeat one of the Four Horsemen. It is speculated that his strength has reached the level of a hero.
Hearty laughter soon rang out in the inner affairs room, indicating that the conversation between the two sides was going very smoothly.
About half an hour later.
"Immovable" Nazami and "Rotten Wolf" Kulev respectfully left the inner room together.
With a "click".
The valve is closed.
The gentle smile on the face of the "Blood Emperor" Jircniv disappeared, and he became calm, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes.
"This arrangement should be sufficient."
There was an unconcealable chill in the voice of the Blood Emperor Jircniv:
"Lenas Lockbols... wash away everything with your blood."
According to the strategy, the empire would launch an attack rhythm that would disrupt the kingdom's production during the kingdom's autumn harvest each year.
The war between the Kingdom and the Empire should have ended in mutual hostility, just like in previous years.
But this time is obviously different!
Renas, who was highly valued by the kingdom, and Gazef, who won the final championship of the "Imperial Trial", each formed their own legion.
According to the intelligence obtained by spies from the kingdom.
These two legions obviously exist to prepare for the war during the autumn harvest this year.
The "Blood Emperor" Jircniv would naturally not give up this opportunity, but he also understood that this disruption operation would definitely be different from the previous ones.
The current situation between the Empire and the Kingdom will not lead to large-scale conflicts for the time being, but this small-scale group battle will be more intense than ever before!
One more thing.
As far as he knew, Renas had taken refuge with the kingdom's third princess, Lana, and he couldn't help but pay attention to that annoying woman.
Ding~ding~
The Blood Emperor Jircniv tapped the table lightly with his fingers. He put the matter aside for the time being. The necessary arrangements had been made.
Only minor adjustments will be needed from now on.
This wasn't the only thing giving him a headache.
"Free will"!
The name of this adventurer team popped up in Jircniv's mind, and his eyes fell on the information placed on the table.
"The information we have collected is still too little to make an accurate judgment."
“Blood Emperor” Jircniv frowned.
This team of adventurers was completely different from the adventurers he knew, especially their captain Tang, who had the title of "genius alchemist", and gave him a sense of danger.
Thinking about the reward he personally issued and then removed.
The Blood Emperor Jircniv's cheeks flushed and he sighed helplessly, muttering to himself, "I'm still a little too hasty."
The act of offering a bounty has already brought about a direct conflict with this team of steel-level adventurers.
Judge others by yourself!
He didn't think the other party would be magnanimous, but at least so far, "Free Will" did not take any retaliatory action.
And that’s why!
The "Blood Emperor" Jircniv paid close attention to this, and therefore indirectly noticed the abnormality in the "Abelion Hills Incident".
pity!
Whether it's the Holy Kingdom or the Silian Theocracy, the spies they deployed to either side were of low status, and the intelligence they could obtain was limited, not to mention the vast distance between them.
It is also very difficult to transmit intelligence, resulting in very little information he has obtained so far!
But there is one thing——
"Abelion Hills!"
The Blood Emperor Jircniv looked at the map placed on the side, a trace of greed and sharpness flashing in his eyes.
Based on current intelligence analysis.
The subhuman forces in the Abelion Hills suffered a severe blow, and the vast resources of the entire region were completely opened up.
If we can obtain the resources in the hilly areas, the improvement in the overall national strength will be enormous!
pity.
The Bahas Empire is too far away from here, and the nearby Kingdom of Re-Estize, the Holy Kingdom, and the Silian Theocracy are the easiest to get a piece of the pie.
But the current situation is a little confusing for him!
The kingdom's bunch of corrupt and stupid nobles were one thing, but it was a bit strange that the Holy Kingdom and the Silian Theocracy hadn't taken any action.
There is also the adventurer team "Free Will" currently stationed in the hilly area.
In short.
This abnormal phenomenon must contain some important information that he is not aware of.
The Blood Emperor Jircniv held a delicate pen and drew a thick red frame around the document titled "Free Will."
Look down.
There is also a document marked with a red frame - [Zhilanong].
This is an evil secret society and the culprit behind the Hill Incident. For this mysterious organization.
The "Blood Emperor" Jircniv's attitude is rather ambiguous. As long as they don't provoke the empire, he doesn't care what these people do.
But the old man has set his sights on this organization!
He knew that in the deepest tower, the old man imprisoned a legendary undead "Death Knight" that he captured several years ago.
The old man has always wanted to control this legendary undead.
The "Blood Emperor" Jircniv naturally has the full support. If it succeeds, it will be a great help to the empire.
But the current results are not ideal.
The occurrence of the "Hill Incident" made the old man realize that [Chiranon] can not only control the Death Knight, but also has the means to create the legendary undead Soul Eater.
These are also the three most troublesome things for the "Blood Emperor" Jircniv at present, and each of them involves a wide range of issues.
On the other side, there was a small alley outside the imperial capital.
"waste!"
"It's all your fault for spending so much of the family's money."
"Don't say that..."
"You are so good at magic, you should be able to make more money."
"elder sister……"
“Wow…wow…”
The sound of quarreling and children crying came from a house.
The residents walking in the alley had indifferent expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they had already gotten used to it. Most of the people living in such places were poor, and no one would be willing to meddle in other people's affairs.
“It’s really hard work.”
Brian leaned against the corner of the wall next to the door of the house and pulled the brim of his hat to cover his exposed blue hair.
Brian looked slovenly and smelled of alcohol, which made him inconspicuous in such a place.
Even people who saw him avoided him, not wanting to provoke the drunkard who could get drunk even during the day.
There was a hint of helplessness in the complaints.
It seemed like he was complaining about himself, and also like he was complaining about the girl who was being scolded in the room.
Originally, he was assigned to the kingdom to spread the news about Zhilanon, but the leader of the alliance suddenly asked him to change his mission.
That's when he came to the empire.
With a "bang".
There was a loud bang as the door slammed shut, as if expressing some kind of dissatisfaction.
A pale and ugly girl with a thin body, a very regular face, short shoulder-length hair, and who looked to be only about 15 years old, walked out.
The girl had a good temperament and was holding an iron rod of similar height in her hand. There were patterns engraved on it that were not sure whether they were words or symbols. It was obvious that she was a magic caster.
The girl walked out of the room in a daze, holding the iron magic wand tightly in her hand, and walked into the alley with a blank look in her eyes.
It looks like a lost pet.
"Arche."
Suddenly, a calm voice sounded from behind.
Alshe paused, subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a middle-aged man dressed in tattered clothes, leaning against the wall.
"Who are you?"
Alshe was sure that he didn't know the other person, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, probably because he thought the other person might be a troublesome person.
"Looks like it's you."
Brian smiled slightly and slowly raised his head: "You don't know how much effort it took to find you."
