You and me under the world tree

This is absolutely not allowed in the court, but seeing the frightened and anxious look on the guard's face, he can't control other things now.

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Netherlands, and it's from Chancellor Hagen."

"what?"

After receiving the sealed parchment letter from the guard, Gunter frowned subconsciously.

He subconsciously noticed something was wrong, so his heartbeat slowed down by half a minute.

He didn't know what was written in the letter, but somehow he sensed something was wrong.

And after opening the letter and scanning the short content at a glance, anger rushed to his heart.

It breaks through the intellect and goes straight to the brain.

And under this violent mental collision, his footsteps even became vain.

In the end, with a 'plop' sound, his whole body fell down.

"Guntel!"

Looking at his brother who fell down, Gaernot couldn't help but be taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the parchment falling to the ground.

The short text above states only one thing:

The old king Jibixi tried to murder the weak king and was beheaded on the spot.

"Hagan!!!"

Chapter 90: The Opening Curtain

The air is gradually becoming cold and chilling.

The Skywrath King City, which should have been quite lively, is now under martial law.

Combined with the messy things that have happened recently, this made the people who were already hilarious realize one thing: war is about to happen.

However, there are different opinions among the people about the so-called war.

In the final analysis, it is because the things that have happened recently are too bizarre.

The first was Kriemhild, princess of Burgundy, who poisoned their great king, Siegfried.

Then came the old king of Burgundy.

In terms of prestige, the old king Jibixi is higher than Krimhild, and therefore, he himself is more important.

He stayed in the Netherlands, ready to assist Palace Chancellor Hagen in investigating the poisoning incident.

To be honest, the moment this incident spread, there was a wave of rhythm among the people, because some people smelled something bad.

It is true that Hagen is the palace minister of the Netherlands, but he also has another identity: the child of Gibesh, the illegitimate son of the old king of Burgundy.

And when Hagen took power and Siegfried had to recuperate in the palace, the old king of Burgundy came, which made people think that there was some conspiracy.

And for some, it was as close as pointing Hagen's nose at him for wanting to seize power in the kingdom.

The results of it?

Some news has not been fully spread, and some guys who acted behind the scenes have not started to lead the rhythm among the people and block the palace, and Krimhild died just like that.

And now, the old king Jibishi is also dead?

What exactly is going on?

The series of events that happened in Skywrath King City were too fast, and one after another, they subverted ordinary people's cognition.

Not to mention those guys who secretly want to make a living, even ordinary people sometimes have a lingering sense of confusion.

As for why this is the case, it has something to do with the recent official announcement.

According to the official statement, the cause of Krimhild's death is open to question, and it should be a large force that attacked them.

The question is, are there any forces in the Netherlands other than His Majesty the King?

No one knows this.

There are even folk rumors that those who attacked Krimhild were aiming to avenge Siegfried.

But in any case, this aspect is already an unsolved mystery.

Because Siegfried had already been crowned king, anyone could see that he was trying to run the Kingdom of the Netherlands as a monolith.

And even in such a kingdom where even the lord has no real power, there are almost people who can find a huge bandit or rebel force.

Not many people would believe that someone who appeared out of thin air killed Krimhild.

And among them is the old king Jibishi...

According to the official statement released by the palace, at that time, Siegfried, who was physically weak, supported himself strongly, trying to persuade the old king in the palace to calm down face to face.

However, the old king who wished to think that the Kingdom of the Netherlands intended to kill Krimhilder did not listen to this at all.

In a rage, the old king even pulled out a sword in public and stabbed Siegfried.

Although Siegfried was not injured because of the timely dodge, afterward, the quick-sighted guards sent the old king back to the west.

Charged with assassination...

All the things together seem to make perfect sense, but at least anyone with a little bit of intelligence can detect that something is wrong.

Although most civilians couldn't tell what was wrong, they could smell the ominous smell.

Because no matter what, after all, two royal families in the Kingdom of Burgundy died in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Siegfried was obviously not the kind of person who would bow his head in this regard.

Because it wasn't his fault at all.

At least, he never had any intention of falling out with the Kingdom of Burgundy.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is still investigating the cause of the death of Her Royal Highness, and thoroughly investigating the ghosts in the kingdom.

And finally, there is an answer to that too.

"It's the remnants of the Hengding clan!"

I don't know when it started, such voices spread among the people again.

Officials headed by Hagen are still thoroughly investigating the truth of the whole incident, but such words began to spread unknowingly.

Even, under deliberate inducement, the public has already connected this matter with the previous 'little matter'.

Nearly three months ago, Her Royal Highness's carriage lost control and began to rampage through the royal city of the Netherlands.

If it wasn't for a patrolling guard who directly pierced the carriage with a spear, causing the carriage to roll over, no one knew what the consequences of the constantly accelerating and galloping horse would eventually be.

Stampede?

This is the minimum, and after the horses are fully accelerated, they will even crash into the city wall, and at that time, even Krimhild's life will be in danger.

In the end, the conflict between the two countries will also be detonated.

After linking up the initial incident, the people seem to have noticed one thing.

Behind these seemingly unrelated incidents all lead to the same result: the conflict between the Kingdom of Burgundy and the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be detonated immediately, eventually leading to war.

It seems that behind everything, there is an invisible hand stirring the situation.

In the end, the trustworthy Skywrath Guards finally found out the result of their investigation, and they found out who was behind everything: the Kingdom of Denmark.

"Send this news to the Kingdom of Burgundy quickly, there should be no needless battles between us!"

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the palace was like this, and the envoys to the Kingdom of Burgundy set off quickly.

But I don't know if it was fate. Just when the Kingdom of the Netherlands announced the truth and was about to negotiate with King Gunter of the Kingdom of Burgundy, Gunter, who was furious, directly chose to attack the Netherlands. Kingdom territory.

Not long after the envoy was sent out, news of the border emergency was received inside the royal city.

One of the twelve warriors of Worms in the Kingdom of Burgundy, Xi Luosen, took the lead and led an army to forcibly attack the frontier city wall.

Legend has it that this warrior is a hybrid of a giant. It is not known whether his father was a giant or his ancestors had giant blood.

In short, this warrior is extremely powerful, and he likes to show off his strength and force the most. Although he has a simple mind, he can always play a powerful role in siege battles.

But the young king of Burgundy clearly had no intention of showing off his might.

He didn't directly pin his hope on Xi Luosen alone, but directly sent out his brother: Geer Nott.

Although Gael Nott is a pure human being, Gunter obviously trusts his brother more.

And Geernot led the elite army directly under the king's direct control to march up the Rhine River and land directly in the territory of the Netherlands.

Burgundy played the banner of revenge.

The war kicked off...

"For us, it's a fight back."

In the quiet mansion, the sage in black robe slowly moved his chess pieces.

"It's time to wrap up."

"But you're about to lose this game of chess."

Sitting opposite him, Dietrich spoke with a smile.

And Hodder's face couldn't help but darken.

"This chess, why does Wang Qi have to be marked out?"

Scratching the back of his head, Hodder sighed.

"Because this is a game, marking king chess is a clear rule."

…………

…………

…………

…………

Board chess, this game seems to have similar rules.

It is roughly divided into the side of protecting the king and the side of capturing the king. The side of protecting the king wants to move the king to a corner, while the side of capturing the king wants to surround and eat the king.

Rules are dead.

Although it is a war game, it basically has no flexibility_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 91: Hodder's Competitiveness

In the end, Hodder lost the game.

To put it bluntly, although he has always been called a sage, he really doesn't have much talent in chess.

And more importantly, his opponent is Dietrich, the princess of the Gothic Kingdom.

She grew up playing this kind of chess since she was a child, because it is a popular form of entertainment among nobles, and it can even be used for children to enlighten their strategy and overall situation.

But the enlightenment game can only be used for enlightenment after all, because its own rules are too rigid, and the rules for eating chess pieces are extremely single. It seems troublesome, but it seems to be the same.

"puff……"

Staring at his already besieged King Chess, Huo De couldn't help wrapping his arms around his chest.

"Sure enough, the chessboard is still no substitute for a real war."

"Are you just not convinced?"

Just when Huo De sighed, Hela didn't mean to save face at all, but she directly exposed this point.

Not to mention other messy things, she is very happy now, and the reason for her happiness is actually confusing.

Because the reason why she felt happy was because she rarely saw Huoder's distressed and shriveled appearance.

Even though it was never a big deal, even if she herself didn't gain any real benefits from it, the Queen of Nether smiled as happily as a child.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a side."

Originally, this kind of thing can be said casually, there is no need to keep talking about it.
