Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

A small wound was opened on the tough skin of the fingertips.

The petite figure just squeezed gently and squeezed out a drop of blood filled with dark light.

Then she dropped the blood next to the strange dragonfly-like insect.

I saw the strange insect opening and closing its mouthparts and quickly devouring the drop of blood.

Moisturized by the blood, the strange insect suddenly became energetic.

It shook its slender body and actually unfolded three pairs of long transparent membrane wings.

There was a vibrating sound, and the strange insect flew into the sky. After circling five or six times, it finally chose a direction and flew away.

The four church elders and the black-robed bishop followed immediately.

The pseudo-demon Lilia, who lowered her head, did not follow immediately, but raised her head and silently glanced at the sky.

The eyes that were like a river of stars first lit up, and then quickly dimmed.

Taking steps forward, she moved like a ghost, keeping up with the pace of the black-robed bishop.

Following the direction of the strange insect's flight, everyone walked towards the second circle of the city.

It is said to be a forced action, but the people of the Three Extremes Sect are not so careless as to run rampant in the city.

After all, Lentax is also a giant city with good development speed.

Not to mention the garrison numbering over a million, the magic arrays placed throughout the city can effectively slow down their movements.

What's more, there are an unknown number of legendary powerhouses in the city.

Therefore, there is no need to expose him in advance before meeting the prince.

You still have to keep a low profile as much as possible, otherwise you will easily get into unnecessary trouble.

Once they find the prince, they won't have to tie their hands and feet.

All you need to do is take the prince away, activate the long-distance teleportation rune stone and leave the giant city directly.

…

At the same time, in the luxurious private room of a large spring hotel in the second circle.

Prince Carter was hugging him from left to right.

The same goes for Blackie, who plays Bridger Sorenson.

Only Zong Shen and Kaji Mizite were sitting on the other side, drinking wine and taking a nap while leaning on soft chairs.

The elegant sound of the harp echoes in the ears, and the dim lights and blurred colors make the creatures inside forget the passage of time.

Zong, who was drinking, was not idle. He discovered that the vicinity of the spring hall happened to be the place where the elite swordfish regiment sent by Princess Anna was dormant.

That swordfish group was composed entirely of sixth-level elites, and there were also high-level spellcasters and legendary powerhouses on staff.

They and another team called the Sailfish Group are the main force of Princess Anna to support Marquis Henry this time.

But there's no need to worry about those guys taking action in advance.

Without the assistance of the magic circle, it would be extremely difficult to forcibly abduct the prince under the protection of three legendary powerhouses.

And Marquis Henry, who was affected by the [Rose Mark], would not make such a decision.

After all, Penny's main purpose is to catch the prince and continue to bleed him, so that he can be used as fertilizer for the evil spirits.

After grasping the core, Zong Shen can understand many motives that he couldn't understand before.

Just when he felt bored, the magic mirror placed by Prince Carter on the wine table suddenly lit up.

This is a feature of messaging access.

As a two-way communication tool between Archduke Jonathan and him.

The person who sent the summons at this time, no need to guess, was the Grand Duke himself.

Prince Carter, who was fighting two women, saw the flickering magic mirror, and tremblingly pushed the [Female Girl] in front of him away. After making a silent gesture, the music and moans in the scene suddenly stopped. Come down.

He chose to answer the call.

The majestic face of Grand Duke Jonathan suddenly appeared in the mirror.

At this time, the Grand Duke was wearing a dress with a dragon-patterned waistcoat, and seemed to be attending a banquet.

When the call was connected, the Grand Duke frowned slightly when he saw Prince Carter, who was acting lewdly.

Then he said in a loud voice.

"Carter."

"Give the Communication Mirror to the two brothers Kaji Mizzit and Sorensen."

"I have something to tell them!"

This time Grand Duke Jonathan did not come to talk to Prince Carter.

Because he knows that some words are in vain.

Therefore, the Grand Duke chose to communicate directly with the gladiatorial twins Kaji and Dabos.

"Also, tell all those idle people around you to get away!"

"Only the three of them can listen to this matter!"

At this time, Grand Duke Jonathan was obviously not in a good mood, and his tone was quite stern.

This made Prince Carter, who had always been unruly, dare not say anything.

Carter grew up with a golden key in his mouth, and he was a noble son of a royal family. Outsiders were obedient to him and did not dare to neglect him.

This made him the biggest dude in the imperial city.

But he is just arrogant and not stupid.

At least he still had the basic wink.

To him, Archduke Jonathan was one of the few people he had to fear.

At this time, he also saw that the Grand Duke was in a bad mood, and there was no need to get into trouble.

So he obediently obeyed and waved his hand to disperse the [female branch girl] and the harpist in the spacious private room.

Even Xiao Heizi reluctantly pushed away the two women serving him, put on the leather jacket and came to the side of his master Zong Shen.

Kaji Mizit stood up first and came to the prince's side to take the communication mirror.

The three of them walked to the corner and gathered together to leave Prince Carter alone at the table.

The shirtless prince picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, his expression a little numb.

When Archduke Jonathan saw Kaji, Ole and Jebri appear in the mirror, his expression relaxed slightly, and then he lowered his voice.

"Three!"

"Later, powerful men from the Three Extremes Church will come to take His Royal Highness back to the Imperial City."

"As the blood contract lord, I ask the three of you not to resist."

Grand Duke Jonathan said mysteriously.

He still paid enough respect to the legendary strong men under his command.

Even with the blood contract as a guarantee, Grand Duke Jonathan did not dare to behave too badly towards them.

There have been precedents for legendary strong men to backfire on contracts.

Although the probability of this happening is very low, you still have to be careful.

Therefore, those in power are usually quite polite to legendary powerhouses.

Hearing the Grand Duke's words, Kaji Mizit immediately understood. He nodded and expressed his cooperation.

He was troubled by the prince's matter, but he didn't expect that the Grand Duke had already prepared a solution.

Because he had a blood contract with him, he could not be forcibly taken away against the prince's will.

He knew clearly that something was wrong with the prince and that something was wrong with the giant city of Lentax, but he couldn't do anything.

Now Archduke Jonathan has sent out strong men from the Three Extremes Church, which can be considered a curved solution.

Anyway, those powerful foreigners are not restricted by blood contracts, so even if they forcibly abduct the prince, it will be fine.

And all they have to do is cooperate.

Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi looked at each other silently, saying nothing, but just nodded in agreement.

Seeing that all three people understood their arrangements, Archduke Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he returned to his serious expression and warned seriously.

"The prince must come back."

"Bloody Henry Lancaster has betrayed me."

"He is a despicable man who deserves to be cooked!"

"I don't know what that guy did to Carter to get so carried away."

"But it doesn't matter, as long as Carter is brought back to the imperial city, there will always be a way to make him recover!"

"I know that you can't go against Carter's will due to the blood contract, so you can only send strong men from the Three Extremes Church. The purpose of this summons is to prevent you from conflicting with each other."

Having said this, Marquis Henry paused for a moment, picked up a wine glass from the waiter's wine tray and took a sip.

At this time, Zong Shen noticed that when the Grand Duke mentioned the Three Extremes Sect, Kaji Mizite's eyes flashed with a look of hatred.

After taking a sip of wine, Grand Duke Jonathan continued.

"I paid a huge price to get the Sanji Sect to take action."

"Purple River Castle will become the territory of the church from now on."

"Of course, according to the agreement concluded by the soul contract, only if they successfully bring His Royal Highness back to the Imperial City will Zihe Castle be handed over to the church."

As soon as these words came out, Kaji Mizite was stunned.

Compared to Xiao Heizi and Zong Shen, two laymen who didn't know much about the situation in the central part of the kingdom.

Kaji is quite aware of the strategic significance of Zihe Fort.

It guards the throat of Zihe River and is one of the four fortresses and giant cities in the central region.

The tower there is more than 500 meters high and 120 meters wide. After years of reinforcement, the defense level is far better than that of the giant city of Lentax.

Even the ancient giant cities of the last era cannot compare with it.

After all, the Battle Castle is a fortress-shaped giant city built specifically for fighting.

Its characteristics are reflected in its strong high walls and multi-dimensional defense system.

Paying such a high price just to let the strong men of the Three Extremes Sect take away Prince Carter can somewhat demonstrate the urgency of the situation and the importance the Grand Duke attaches to the prince.

Kaji Mizite's mouth was slightly open, but in the end he said nothing.

The prince not far away was drinking wine and watching the three people hiding in the corner whispering to the Grand Duke through the communication mirror. Their expressions were sometimes weird and sometimes lonely.

Affected by the [Rose Mark], reason and emotion collided in his heart all the time.

Zong Shen believed that Prince Carter was also conflicted at this time.

In the mirror, Archduke Jonathan put down his wine glass and continued.

"The Three Extremes Sect has put together a pretty strong lineup."

"Including a legendary high-level black-robed bishop and four legendary mid-level church elders."

"also…"

"And the fake demon Lilia!"

"The black-robed bishop brought the demon control bell, and he will control Lilia himself!"

As soon as these words came out, Kaji Mizite suddenly looked shocked.

"Pseudo-devil...Lilia..."

"The experimental product of evil sacrifice."

"A killing weapon that contains infinite divine will..."

He couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, his tone full of surprise.

"Yes, so you must remember not to confront the Sanji Sect's troops head-on."

Archduke Jonathan said in a serious tone.

What he meant was very simple, that is, the three of them were no match for the Sanji Sect's troops.

Don't be stubborn and explain the situation in advance to prevent them from fighting with each other.

"We got it!"

He swallowed hard and agreed proactively.

This was the first time Zong Shen saw the always rigid Kaji Mizite showing such an expression.

On the other side of the mirror, Archduke Jonathan nodded and immediately hung up the summons.

Holding the communication mirror, Kaji Mizit did not come back to his senses for a long time.

Zong Shen patted Xiao Heizi on the shoulder and motioned him to accompany Prince Carter first.

He himself approached Kaji and asked in a low voice.

"Who is the pseudo-demon Lilia?"

"And that Three-pole Church."

"Looking at you, it seems like they are difficult to deal with?"

Zong Shen gave him a gentle push with his arm.

Although he could also ask for guidance, in order to fit the character, he could simply ask Kaji directly.

Kaji glanced at him, his expression still tense.

"You have never lived in the middle of the kingdom, so it is normal for you not to know about the Three Extremes Church."

"That's a heretic who believes in the Three Extremes God."

"The church is very powerful and its strength cannot be underestimated."

"And False Demon Lilia is a combat weapon developed by the church through evil rituals in recent years."

"It is rumored that she possesses the strength of a demigod, but due to the erosion of divine will, she has become uncontrollable and can only be controlled by some kind of bell."

Kaji Mizite is from the Temple of Holy Light.

To him, all church forces except the temple could be called heretics.

This is especially true for churches with a hint of evil nature like the Sanji Church.

That's why when the Grand Duke mentioned the Three Extremes Church, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

After listening to his words, Zong Shen's expression immediately calmed down.

"Almost demigod?"

He was thinking in his mind that this was almost the most powerful ruthless character he had heard of recently.

And it doesn’t exist in ancient books and legends.

"Experimental products and combat weapons..."

He keenly captured the key to Kaji's words.

This means that the so-called pseudo-demon Lilia is an "artificial" strong person.

After nodding slightly, Zong Shen didn't say anything more and sat back down silently.

Kaji Mizite stayed in the corner for a while, then returned to the prince with the communication mirror.

He saw Prince Carter staring at him with a half-smile.

"What did Uncle Jonathan say?"

"How mysterious."

"Is it possible that even I have to hide it?"

His words made Kaji look embarrassed, but he finally shook his head.

But he saw Prince Carter, who had been leaning on the stool for half of the time, sit up straight.

"In the name of the Blood Contract Master, I order you to repeat the Grand Duke's words!"

This guy used the blood pact to force Kaji Mizzit to submit.

This happened to be his weakness in being unable to restrain the prince.

Affected by the blood contract, Kaji Mizte's face instantly turned red.

After enduring it for several minutes, he couldn't help but cry out in pain from the pain of soul punishment.

He could only choose to give in and repeat what Grand Duke Jonathan said.

After listening to his story, Prince Carter's expression became fierce.

"Why!"

"Why doesn't Uncle Jonathan want to believe me!"

"He actually traded out of Zihe Castle without my consent!"

"That's my royal land!"

The prince said through gritted teeth, which made Zong Shen realize something was wrong.
