Chapter 724: War Restarted
After a while, after concluding the secret meeting with the Songxing Esoteric Cult, Pomona thought for a moment and took out another encrypted crystal ball to activate it.
After a moment, the crystal ball emitted light, and the image of the second prince Kain appeared at the other end of the crystal ball.
Pomona was also involved in this game for imperial power.
Although the four major families of the empire always remain neutral on the surface, for a ninth-level strongman who wants to participate, it is just a matter of disguising his identity.
As long as they do not personally kill a royal descendant, the prince/princess who eventually ascends the throne will usually not delve into the responsibilities of those Ninth Orders who once supported other princes.
If the bet is lucky enough to win and the prince that he supports succeeds in ascending the throne, he will be able to obtain a precious spot in the Eternal Secret Realm that opens once every three hundred years.
That is a special secret realm that is only available to the ninth-level royal family, and only five people at most can enter at a time.
Although it is ineffective against the ninth-order limit, any ninth-order existence below the ninth-order limit that enters can gain the benefits of greatly improving the progress of controlling the power of rules and clarifying the way forward.
Since the strongest eldest prince and fourth princess did not need the assistance of this "unidentified" ninth-level person, he could only settle for the second best and choose to assist the second prince whose strength was closest to the ninth-level.
"Good afternoon, His Highness Cain."
"Good afternoon, Your Majesty the Ice Crystal, what can I do for you?"
The second prince Kain looked at Pomona with a little surprise. As a relationship of mutual benefit, this person rarely contacted him normally.
"Yes, how can I help you?"
Pomona nodded and stated his problem.
"help……"
On the other side of the crystal ball, Kain thought about it.
"The intensity of the conflict between my brother and my fourth sister has begun to increase recently, and it is very likely that some exploratory wars will be carried out next. If possible, I hope to get some manpower support.
Also, at the critical moment, I hope you can secretly help me get rid of the people who are watching me. I want to try again to see if I can break through."
"no problem."
Pomona nodded. If the two major candidates for the throne went to war, the royal family's attention would be drawn more to them, which would be a good time for him to implement his plan.
"Also, have the three guardians behaved in any abnormal way recently?"
"The three guardians haven't made any special moves recently, but I can't be sure whether they have any plans in private."
The second prince shook his head.
"I understand. If there is anything else you need my assistance with, please let me know."
Without any hesitation, Pomona exchanged some pleasantries with the second prince, ended the communication, and made up his mind to take action in the near future. . …..….Glorious Year 2465, Mid-Year Month, 1st.
The two major interest groups, the eldest prince Ferdinand and the fourth princess Osvia, went to war completely. Wars broke out in strategic locations such as Visar, Baman Basin, and Black Leaf Plains, and many small nobles under their command were fighting each other.
The other princes also took advantage of the chaos to make their own small moves, and the civil war in the empire that had been suppressed for a short time was showing signs of breaking out again.
After nearly a year, the two have basically integrated all the forces that can be integrated in the country.
Although the four major families remained neutral, all the marquises were targets that could be won over, especially after two marquises had "died" before.
Although they each have a way to prolong their lives and revive, before they can fully recover their ninth-level strength, they will inevitably have to give up part of their original territory, and this part can just serve as a reward.
Both princes promised that as long as they achieved final victory, the territories conquered in the war would be redistributed according to military merits.
For this reason, many of the small and medium nobles below were blood-thirsty.
As long as the prince they support wins, they will all become founding nobles and rise to the top in one step.
As for those powerful families, they remained on hold for the time being, mainly testing each other, allowing the coalition forces of many small and medium-sized nobles to serve as cannon fodder to test the strength and trump cards of the other side.
At the same time, according to an unknown rumor, Ferdinand and Oswija had secretly conducted a brief exploratory fight, in which Oswija was at a disadvantage, but in the end, the outcome was decided.
In this situation, some conspiracies began to grow quietly. . ….…. "What, Pomona was ambushed by a ninth-level being of the Song Star Esoteric Cult, and the situation is critical now?"
In Yuelin Castle, an urgent message for help was suddenly received, and Duke Carrot was a little surprised.
When he heard the news, his first reaction was that the other party was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
The opponent's attack cannot be without purpose, especially among ninth-level professionals. Without sufficient reasons, they will not easily start a war.
The target of the Star Song Cult is most likely still Fiona.
And now the family's ninth-level guardian is providing close protection to Fiona. He is the only ninth-level guardian who can move freely.
However, the distress signal cannot be fake after all.
To be on the safe side, Carrot first contacted the ninth level of the Alfred family, notifying them to be on high alert and beware of the conspiracy of the Star Song Secret Cult. At the same time, he activated the highest level of defense of Moon Castle. Then he opened the channel according to the space coordinates and prepared to go to support Pomona.
When he actually arrived at the battlefield, the first thing that caught Carrot's eye was a huge, strange, dark green magic circle.
At this moment, Pomona was trapped in the core of the magic circle by a strange ghostly green flame. The steaming green flame wrapped him up layer by layer like a big cocoon. No matter how frantically he attacked, he could not break free.
Around the magic circle, a group of strange pagans wearing black robes with green flames burning on their bodies raised their arms and formed a circle around the huge green flame cocoon. They chanted strange sacrificial texts with fanaticism on their faces, as if they were performing some kind of mysterious ritual.
Noticing the Duke's appearance, a foreign god priest floating in mid-air, holding a black stone scepter and wearing a bone-white bird-shaped mask, slowly turned around.
In the empty bone sockets, two balls of green flames stared at him like eyes.
The strange scene before him made Carlotte feel a little depressed.
Faced with his arrival, the enemy did not show any panic or fear, and was obviously well prepared.
However, Pomona had now fallen into the hands of the enemy, and even though he knew the enemy might be prepared, he had no choice but to attack. Fortunately, because he guessed that the visitor had bad intentions, he also brought the family's treasures before coming.
With his blue eyes slightly narrowed, Carrot slowly opened his hands, and a dark purple mini tornado surrounded by clear ice crystals emerged from his palms.
That was a treasure that Olivendi's ancestor accidentally obtained from the [Forbidden Zone of Life]. It was originally a natural giant and terrifying eye of the storm, but in an unknown flash of light, it shrank into such a strange existence similar to a strange object.
As the mini tornado emerged, the sky within a radius of dozens of miles suddenly darkened. A fierce snowstorm containing the power of rules blew up, and snowflakes were like drops of water falling into boiling oil, violently annihilating each other with the green flames that enveloped Pomona.
In the center of this pitch-black blizzard, a huge tornado that stretched from sky to earth had formed, sweeping towards the magic circle surrounding the numerous pagans like a natural disaster.
