Lord of War

   "Oh?" Sean smiled unabated, "Then Lord Roald, please tell me what I'm here for."

   "You are here to ask about Grand Duke Asuna, my attitude is correct?" Roald looked at Sean, and said calmly.

  Sean is noncommittal.

"My attitude is very simple. I will always stand in the position of the royal family." Roald said, ignoring the changes in Sean's face. "I am a guardian who is crowned by the ancestor and has the mission of guarding the stability of the Kingdom of Ryan. Facts. It’s not just me, including Duke Devon and many others, with this attitude."

   Xiao En's brows frowned involuntarily: "Even if it is said to be foolish and loyal?"

   "Yes." Roald nodded, then laughed, "I once swore an oath before the throne, then I would still be a knight."

  The oath of the knight is an unbreakable ancient power. This power is as stable as a soul contract, and it is a content that every knight must abide by throughout his life. Just as Sean was at ease with Rina, it was precisely because Rina had made a knight oath to Sean that belonged to her: never betrayed Sean and the descendants of Sean's blood.

  Once such a knight's oath is violated, the knight who swears will be suppressed by the will of the world, not to mention whether he can break through the realm smoothly in the future, even his own power will begin to show a state of attenuation. Therefore, once the oath is taken, no knight will be willing to break his oath—this is also the reason why all the lords and emperors of the Marvel Continent will trust the knight so much.

  Whether it is the violent Devon hidden in his temperament, or the other line talents who were once called pillars by King Ryan VI, they are all people who have taken the knightly oath before the king. Precisely because of this, even if they have any defects, that Ryan VI will reuse them without any scruples. Similarly, it is precisely because these people have never violated their vows that their strength has been able to rise steadily.

  Especially after annexing the Kingdom of Darbion and seizing the power of this country, the growth rate of these people became more obvious.

   "But Asuna is your daughter..." Sean said, still trying to reverse Roald's position.

  Roald shook his head: "She is my daughter, but I am more than one daughter."

  This time, it was Sean's turn to be silent.

  He had heard what Roald meant: Between the family and Asuna, the father undoubtedly chose the former. Although Sean can understand this approach, after being the patriarch of a large family, many times he must consider the interests of the entire family group; but being able to understand does not mean that Sean can accept it. Perhaps it is a different thinking. , Xiao En felt that if his daughter had this situation, then he would definitely declare war at all costs.

  At this moment, Sean suddenly understood why Asuna was so determined to make Fulhis king.

  Because she really knows her father too well, if the royal family has an order to pass, then she and her father must meet each other. This is very cruel to Asuna. After all, Roald is not only Asuna’s biological father, but also her enlightenment teacher. It can be said that the relationship between their father and daughter is deeper than outsiders imagined. .

  Sean believed that if Roald were not the patriarch of the Evans family now, he would definitely not allow Asuna to become a prisoner.

  Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but look at Roald seriously, and then quickly discovered the whiteness of Roald's temples. As a powerful sanctuary strong man, and also a strong man who has also begun to attack the legendary realm, it is impossible for Roald to have this kind of aging phenomenon, but now there is actually a aging of white temples. Phenomenon, this can only prove that Roald is really in a state of exhaustion.

   "I understand." Sean nodded, expressing understanding.

"His Royal Highness, it is more cunning and difficult than it seems to be." Roald looked at Sean, and then suddenly laughed. "The assassination of His Royal Highness Arlan, I am afraid that no one can except find Miss Vannie. I know the truth. Because the battlefield has been cleaned up very clean, no clues can be found at all, but what is certain is that there are definitely many legendary powerhouses fighting out there."

Shaun’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his face showed a little surprise: "Many legendary powerhouses?... Fannie, Elizabeth, Lauren, aren’t there only these three in the Ryan Kingdom? If you don’t count Elizabeth, you can really be The only legendary powerhouses known as the pillars of the Kingdom of Lane are Lauren, the vow knight who is next to His Royal Highness Adams, and Fannie, the elven Swordsman who is next to His Royal Highness Arlan."

"Didn't I just say it? His Royal Highness Grain is very cunning." Roald smiled slightly, "Knowing that his brothers and sisters have the support of legendary powerhouses, what gave him so With great confidence to participate in this dangerous game for the throne?... In the bad blood plan that year, he gathered a large number of people. How can you ensure that there are no people with outstanding talents and potential among these people?"

  Hearing Roald’s words, Sean’s first reaction was impossible.

  If he does not know the concept of the so-called "national spirit", then he might believe it. But since he got the idea about this concept from Levy, Sean knew one thing very clearly: Even if a country is annexed, it is impossible to fully acquire the country’s heritage in a short period of time, but needs A relatively slow development period can then gradually reflect the foundation and standards of the corresponding major powers.

After   Ryan annexed Darbion, it took a full eight years to develop before he has the current power and strength.

  But Darbion’s aura was not completely captured by Ryan, but divided into three parts, which were captured by the Void Duchy, the Kingdom of Ryan, and the Duchy of Garrod. Although it is said that Qi Yun is vague, it is very difficult to define and accurately calculate, but the Ryan Kingdom has almost reached a relative development limit because of the direct possession of two legendary powerhouses, not to mention the royal remnants of Dabian. wipe out.

unless…

   "Greyen subdued the remnants of the Darbion royal family?" Sean asked tentatively.

  Roald smiled and did not speak.

"In that case, there are at least two of Grain's...no, they are three legendary powerhouses." Xiao En suddenly found that his thinking began to become clearer, and many areas that were slightly vague before became clearer. Get up, "Since the Black Hawk is not dead, he must also be a legendary powerhouse now, so he can accept all the underground industries of the Marquis of Floris, because those guys are a group of unruly people, they only believe in And follow the strong."

"The other thing is the remnants of the Kingdom of Darbion... They surrendered to Grain, so they also gave Grain the last bit of royal aura that belonged to them. This is the reason why Grain can grow faster than other members of the royal family. , Combined with the growth and development of the Lion Kingdom over the years, there must be a legendary strong under Grenn, and there must be a legendary strong on the remnant party of the Darbion Kingdom. Otherwise, there is no way to even talk to Grenn. I don’t have any confidence."

   "So... Simi is very dangerous now!"

Roald was stunned for a moment, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that he could make Sean think of so many things just by mentioning a sentence, and even said some things he hadn't considered before. . Originally, Roald was more inclined to comment on Shaun, the Void Archduke, saying that "Shaun can only develop by relying on his followers and that **** **** luck", but Now after the actual contact, Roald discovered that this was not a good luck at all.

   "Then I have one last question." Sean said.

"Speaking."

   "Why tell me this?" Sean asked, "Since you are a royalist, then you should know what I am going to do next."

   "I'm just loyal to the royal family of Ryan." Roald replied with a smile, "Aren't we still allies now?"

  Sean was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized what Roald meant in his words. He stood up, then bowed and saluted, not as the Void Lord, but as Sean Connery: "I understand.... I thought that if this conversation failed, I would probably I want to borrow something from the Lord Duke. It seems that I don’t need it anymore. I know how to deal with it."

  Roald smiled and stroked his head: "It seems that my head seems to be saved."

   "Then, I will leave first." Xiao En smiled and stood up straight.

  Ulama also appeared next to Sean, as if he hadn't left since, even Roald didn't know when Ulama came back. Only this time, the exaggerated giant wolf didn't follow Ulamog's side, and the two quickly left the room.

  Roald got up and walked to the window, staring at the scenery outside.

  The whole mansion still looks calm, there is not the slightest disturbance, let alone the sound of the alarm. Not to mention that Sean and Ulama came in and out like no one else, but Ulama just had trouble finding his son just now without the slightest alarm sounded, Roald felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

However, after this sense of powerlessness, it is the fire of struggle that has reignited. Roald has never been so eager to hit the legend for a moment like now: "This old man is not simple, I am afraid it is not the pinnacle of the legend or the super strong. ...That is to say, not counting the goddess officer who can be surrendered and the powerful Valkyrie, the Void Principality now has three super powers. No wonder it dares to challenge the system of the noble code and want to establish an eighth empire. ."

  Just when Roald finished feeling, the door of the house was suddenly knocked open, and then the whole mansion also sounded a sirens. Therefore, like a gear in motion, the operation driven by the mansion also made the entire fortress quickly enter a state of martial law. A patrol team immediately rushed to the long-established positions on standby, and some ordinary merchants and civilians in the fortress , Return to their homes in order, and close the door.

  The entire Saint Drones Fortress completely showed a scene of steel fangs at this moment.

  Roald G. Evans' eldest son, Athos G. Evans rushed in with several guards.

  But at this moment, there is no one else in the room except Roald.

   "My Father!" Atos said.

"Turn off the alarm." Roald did not turn his head, but judging from the breath radiating from Atos, he knew that his son had indeed been taught a lesson, but the other party did show mercy and did not hurt Athos. The foundation of Si.

   "Where is that traitor?" Atos seemed a little reluctant.

"You can't even fight a guard of Lord Void, do you still want to deal with Lord Void?" Roald finally became a little angry. When he turned around, the dual majesty of the superior and the strong on him completely broke out. "I want to start thinking about whether it is appropriate for you to take over as the head of the Evans family."

   "My Father!" Atos's face changed slightly.

  Roald ignored Atos, and instead waved his hand to signal the guards to leave and turn off the alarm. At this time, these guards finally knew what was going on here, but they could only silently accept this fact—the Evans family’s military governance was equally good, and these guards knew that they had seriously neglected their duties, and they even the enemy. I haven’t seen it, if this is an assassination...

  All the guards dare not continue to imagine, a sense of shame surrounds them.

  Of course more, and a sense of powerlessness.

After all the guards had left, Roald looked at his eldest son and said in a deep voice, "You have always felt that you are very talented, so today after seeing this Void Lord who is not even older than you, you still have What do you think?"

  Atos may be a little proud, but it does not mean that he is really a stupid person. After calming down at this moment, he naturally discovered a lot of things quickly-if he hadn't observed it as an adversary, even Atos would have to admit that Sean was much better than him. Not to mention the issue of followers, there is a huge gap between the personal strengths of the two sides—now he is still attacking the sanctuary, but Sean is already half-footed into the upper sanctuary.

   "Very strong."

   "It's not just about personal strength." Roald shook his head. "He doesn't want to be the one who broke the rules."

  "Break the rules?" Athos didn't understand, "hasn't he broken a lot of rules?"

"It's the rule of the new era." Roald looked at Atos with a bit of disappointment in his eyes. "In the previous era, there was the suppression of the peaceful parliament. No country dared to launch wars at will. Only after a just posture can a war be launched. Even this war must be announced to give the enemy country sufficient preparation and buffer, especially the more powerful the country is subject to more restrictions."

"But now... the Peace Council has been destroyed, and there is no longer anything in the head of the seven empires that can make them worry about, and even those that are stronger and qualified to attack the empire sequence will no longer have any fear. Mentality. So, what do you think the situation on the entire continent will become under such circumstances?"

   "Chaos." Athos suddenly woke up, "The era of chaos is coming again..."

"Yes, the era of chaos is here again." Roald shook his head, "Which country has enough power, then which country has more power to speak. In this case, the seven empires, even those who can The big kingdoms that are on par with the seven empires are very dominant. Nothing else, just because they have superpowers, they are already enough to surpass other countries."

"In the era when the Peace Council was still in existence, the super-powerful could not act at will. They were more of a deterrent force." Atos murmured, "but now... the country with the super-powerful side is facing A country without a superpower has an overwhelming advantage that is absolutely invincible. It only needs to dispatch the superpower, so there is no need to fight even war... This completely changes the current form of warfare!"

"Yes, so Sean is also called the person who pioneered a new era in many countries." Roald nodded, "And we all know that Grand Duke Sean has at least two followers of superpowers. As long as he Send out the super strong, then do you think the Kingdom of Lane can still be blocked?"

  Atos was silent.

  The answer does not need to be answered by him. As long as the super power is allowed to directly take action, no one can stop it at all. And fundamentally eliminate the causes of war, and a war will not be fought. Especially in a world where the Peace Council upholds justice and justice has been lost, the war has even become so straightforward that there is no need for excuses. As long as there are enough benefits, then there is completely the value of launching a war.

   "But, why..."

"Because he doesn't want to be the first person to break the rules." Roald knew what his son wanted to ask, "Once this precedent is set, then the whole world will once again return to the chaotic era. This is for the entire wonderland. The original damage is very serious... I think you should know that the shots of the legendary strong and even the super strong will fundamentally destroy the terrain and resources, right? So even if it is Grand Duke Sean, he does not want to do it when it is not necessary. To break this rule."

"Perhaps, in his view, war is just a means to achieve an end. In order to achieve an end, he will use the means of war, but he will never be unscrupulous and unscrupulous, so if it is not necessary, he It won’t let the super-powerful enter the battlefield....Similarly, in the conversation just now, I also discovered that he essentially wants to maintain the country’s internal independence."

  "Isn't this self-contradictory..." Athos couldn't understand Sean's approach.

  In fact, not only Atos, no one in this world can understand Sean’s approach and meaning.

  Because of the nature of facts, it is completely different from what these people imagined.

  Sean, is the son of the plane.

  War is indeed only one of his means, but it is not the ultimate goal. His real ultimate goal is to protect the origin of this world from being overly plundered and destroyed. For this, he needs a position and background that allows him to have a large enough right to speak.

  Of course, if necessary, Sean doesn’t mind using the super power.

  He is not that kind of pedantic and ignorant person.

  Only right now, he really can't tune out the super strong, and Asuna is still in Grain's hands. Shaun can’t guarantee that Grain won’t die, so Shaun doesn’t mind spending more time solving the problem until Asuna is safe.

"Ulamor, you go back and tell William that there is a big problem in Garrod Principality, and then take my token to Garrod Principality to find Simi to help her resolve the civil strife in Garrod Principality." After leaving the fortress of St. Drones, Sean said to Ulamog, "Then maintain the military action state of confrontation with the Kingdom of Lane, do not attack for the time being, and at the same time immediately support the Duchy of Garrod."

   "Then what about you?" Ulamog took the token from Sean and said hesitantly, "If I'm not by your side..."

"It's okay." Xiao En said softly, "You are too strong, you are like lights wherever you go, and you can't hide your intentions from investigating. Now I don't want to reveal your identity and strength, so if I act alone, it will be even better. It's more convenient. Especially... I have to find Elizabeth and the others before the guys in the Lane Kingdom. Besides, if I have anything urgent, I will definitely contact you. Your portal is not a display."

  Hearing Sean say this, Ulamog hesitated for a while, and then nodded: "Okay....Then, I will leave the Void Tooth to you."

  As Ulamog’s words fell, the black and silver wolf that Roald had seen before stepped out of the air.

  This giant wolf stands up to a height of almost two meters, with a pure body length of more than three meters, and its tail is also nearly a meter long. The whole body of the giant wolf is silvery white, but the back is black, and the head cover is also black, but it presents a hard structure similar to a crystal. In addition, there is a ring of black mane on the four legs. It seems to be walking on a black flame. The eyes are purple-red, with two exposed white saber teeth, and the tail is dyed with black and silver. It looks hairy but in fact it is all sharp needle-like hairs.

  This special beast possesses a combat power that is not weaker than that of the legendary powerhouse. It can freely shuttle through the shadow plane, the chaos plane and the normal material plane.

  In the process of shuttle, it is immune to all forms of attack methods, and at the same time, it can avoid the detection of perception ability below the legend. The reason why Sean and Ulamog entered the Fortress of St. Drones as if they were in the land of no one was that the shadow barrier created by the Fang of Void protected the direct shuttle entry. Of course, this was also because the Fortress of St. Drones did not Strong enough to discover the structure of the Void Tooth or the reason for the existence of special props.

  Sean stretched out his hand and patted the head of Void Tooth, and smiled: "Please give me more advice during this time."

  Tooth of Void nudged Shaun with his head.

   "It looks like this guy likes you quite a bit." Ulamog smiled, "This way, I'm relieved." (To be continued~^~)
