Darkening Guardian Knight

"I think the Mage Association should be a little stronger than the other two." Patriarch Hoinstein thought for a while, and said, "Although just looking at the superficial strength, the Mage Association even has one resident ninth-level combat power less than the Solot Empire. But as a group organization, the Magicians Association has the appeal to gather idle magicians, which is quite a terrifying force."

"You are right. The Association of Magicians has the potential to compete with the front-line forces. However, their position is doomed to their status."

Kate's thinking is more far-reaching than that of Hoinstein, "You also said that the Association of Magicians can gather idle members. Since they are idle members, it means that they are unwilling to step into muddy water.

So even if they obey the call, their enthusiasm and role are limited.Scattered people will not go all out unless they endanger themselves. "

"Oh, I was so naive." Patriarch Hoinstein said, "Although there are a large number of registered members of the Magicians Association, there are few people who are truly loyal to the association. It is reasonable to be ranked second."

"Well, it's not necessarily true." Kate said again, "What if they turn over with a super powerful hole card. After all, who knows what the hole cards are?"

"..."

"Continue to talk about the division of strength." Realizing that the conversation was gradually going off topic, Kate quickly braked and said, "The third line is the level of the four major families. As for the details, I don't know much about it. You should know which of the four major families is stronger and weaker."

"Well, the White family should be the strongest right now, and then us. I don't know which of the other two is stronger." Patriarch Hoinstein said thoughtfully.

"Those don't matter. Anyway, my Ashe Empire ranks last and belongs to the fourth-tier forces. It is completely strong from the outside, like a clay doll that can't withstand a little storm. No matter who comes to provoke, we can't stop it." Kate's tone was clear. With infinite sorrow.

"Perhaps you are too pessimistic, Queen Ashe." Patriarch Hoinstein couldn't help but said, "Ashe is an empire after all, the background is not bad."

"No... Ashe's remaining vitality is already crumbling. The Solot Empire also noticed this problem and came to attack us on purpose."

Kate said dejectedly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. After talking about the general strength division, I will talk about our strategic goals after cooperation."

"Well, please speak."

"In my plan, the strategic goal of the first half is to let the Ashe Empire get rid of the level of the fourth line, and have the strength of the third line or above."

Kate gestured casually with her fingers in the air, and roughly described, "At the same time, cooperate with us to save the Hoinstein family, and they will climb out of the quagmire of third-tier forces and become second-tier forces!"

"What?! Become a second-tier force!" Hoinstein said in surprise, "Can we reach the heights of the Solot Empire and the Magicians Association?"

"If it goes well, it will be like this." Kate nodded and said, "Maybe there is still a gap with the old second-tier forces, but it will definitely be much stronger than the four major family-level forces."

"How?" Patriarch Hoinstein asked seriously, and Kate could tell from his face that he really cared about the answer to this question.

"If our cooperation is successful, then I will give up the land of the Ashe Empire, and deliberately lose the war with the Solot Empire." Kate spoke surprisingly, and made an explosive speech when she came up.

"What... do you want?" Patriarch Hoinstein couldn't figure out what Kate was thinking, and he couldn't see any benefit to her from losing the land of the Ashe Empire.

Kate seemed to see through Patriarch Hoinstein's doubts, and she explained: "I want to cut through the mess quickly and rely on the power of the enemy country to solve domestic problems."

"The internal affairs of the Ashe Empire are currently in chaos, and there are many uneasy factors that are lurking for speculation. It is very troublesome to eradicate those garbage through normal procedures, but it is very different with the help of others."

Kate said, "The intervention of the Solot Empire can help me eliminate the moths of the empire at once. Although this method may cause a lot of casualties. But for the Ashe Empire, it is a tail-docking survival, and it is the possibility of survival." !"

"Oh, relying on war and hatred to promote the unity of the people and the country?" Hoinstein said.

"Well, what can't be broken can't be built. If you want to move forward, this is a step you must take." Kate looked at it very openly, "And I didn't really give up the Ashe Empire, it was just a tactical retreat."

She continued: "When the blood-sucking worms in those countries have all run away, I will lead the elite forces of the Ashe Empire to join your family, and then form a new army to attack Solot's garrison!"

"It turned out to be such a plan!" Patriarch Hoinstein couldn't help but want to applaud Kate, "You are sure that Solot can't eat the big cake of the Ashe Empire alone, and he must not be able to stop our counterattack. Did you do it on purpose?"

"That's right." Kate nodded and said, "But this tactic also has risks. If Solot doesn't act according to common sense, it will be very troublesome."

"I don't think they will make too strange moves." Patriarch Hoinstein said, "Besides, it will definitely not suffer from this tactic! No matter what Solot does, there is no way to harm Ashe or us fatal injury."

"Yes." Kate said confidently, "As long as the Solot Empire does not call for foreign aid, it will definitely not be able to solve this plan. The land of the Ashe Empire may be eroded, but we will get it back sooner or later!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Patriarch Hoinstein said three "yes" in a row, tapped his palm on the table vigorously, and said, "From now on, the Ashe Empire is an ally of our Hoinstein family! From now on, we will be partners who advance and retreat together and share weal and woe, don’t forget to honor the pie you drew for me.”

"Well, I see." Kate said pretending to be relaxed, but her mood was like a stone falling to the ground, "From now on, please give me your advice!"

No.20 Empress Dowager? !

Successfully reaching a consensus with the Hoinstein family, Kate also felt extremely relaxed and happy.In fact, she still kept some tactics that she didn't say clearly.

Since Patriarch Hoinstein felt that this was enough, there was no need for her to reveal all the means.

After all, the fewer people who know about this kind of secret, the better.

After negotiating cooperation matters, Patriarch Hoinstein meaningfully reminded and suggested to Kate: "If possible, please pay attention to the Thomson family. If they are used properly, they will become a good fighting force."

"Ah, you mean the family that uses the special magic "mirror magic"? "Kate has already done enough homework, she replied, "Of course I have been paying attention to them, for the rise of the Ashe Empire, they are an indispensable part!" "

"It seems that you, Queen, have already prepared for it, and it was unnecessary for me." Patriarch Hoinstein said with a smile.

"This kind of family with special magical power is rare in the world. No matter who it is, it will pay more attention to them."

Kate said unhurriedly, but the real reason for her concern about the Thomson family was not like that.

"The Thomson family... This is the No. 1 of Honglan's second grade, the family of Meister Thomson!"

Kate thought to herself, "Sooner or later, I will meet Thomson and fight him in the upcoming Nova War. If possible, use this opportunity to find out the weaknesses and countermeasures of mirror magic, and prepare for the fierce battles that may occur in the future."

Yes, she specifically investigated the Thomson family just to target Meister Thomson.After reading the report, she unexpectedly discovered something not so good.

"Although on the surface, the Thomson family is still loyal to the Ashe Empire. But in fact, the family is also very turbulent internally, and may rebel at any time." Kate remembered, "The Thomson family is a precious combat power, and must be rectified."

She will never allow such a powerful force as "Mirror Magic" to be mastered by her enemies!

So after a courteous greeting with Patriarch Hoinstein, Kate bid farewell to him immediately without staying for a moment, and left the city by teleportation array, heading for Lawton City, where the Thomson family is located.

Lawton City is very close to Ashe King City. If you drive by horse-drawn carriage, it only takes one or two hours to go back and forth, which is very convenient.The most famous family in Lawton City is the Thomson family that Kate is going to visit.

"I don't know if I can see Senior Thomson in this world." Kate thought, "If we can meet, it will be very interesting."

"And if everything in the real world is reproduced in this world, does it also reproduce the existence of "I"? "

Kate wasn't bothered by such philosophical questions for long.

Because soon someone in the city spotted her figure and interrupted her thinking.

"My Lady Queen, why are you here?" On the way, a middle-aged uncle whom Kate didn't know approached her.

"You are?" Kate lightly raised her eyebrows, unknowingly exuding the might of a queen.

Perhaps because he was embarrassed by Kate's majestic gaze, the middle-aged uncle smiled and bowed to her:

"Your Majesty, deputy city lord of Lawton City, Wall Reed. Greetings to Her Majesty Queen! Do you have any instructions from Her Majesty Queen when she visits this city?"

Kate didn't know this person very well, but vaguely remembered his name was mentioned in some information.

But since she was recognized, she had no choice but to visit Thomson's house openly.

"Excuse me." Kate asked Li De to get up first, and then said, "I'm going to visit Thomson's house, can you show me the way?"

Hearing this, Li De bowed his head again and saluted: "I am very happy."

It has to be said that the deputy city lord of Lawton City was quite reliable, and he quickly brought Kate to the door of the Thomson family.

Compared with the appearance of the Hoinstein family, the Thomson family looks a bit shabby.The ordinary iron fence gate, the delicate and small garden, and the design style of the tall and ancient building reminded Kate of the decoration of the Holt family at that time.

"Well, for ordinary families, this is not bad." Kate chuckled and said to herself, "You can't always look at things from the perspective of the four major families and the imperial palace."

Li De next to him didn't understand why Kate suddenly smiled, and he was beating his heart, fearing that he had done something wrong and would make her angry.

So his tone became more humble and respectful: "My Lady Queen, let me go inside for you and inform Patriarch Thomson to come to see you. Please wait here in the garden for a while, how about you?"

"Notify me?" Kate was keenly aware of something, but after thinking about it, she didn't reject Li De's proposal, and agreed, "Okay, before Patriarch Thomson comes, I'll wander around the yard casually." gone."

"Obey!" Li De got the instructions, and quickly went into the house to find Patriarch Thomson, looking extremely dedicated.

"Look at this, he probably wants to do something small." Kate could see through Reed's intentions at a glance, but she didn't bother to expose it, "If you want to completely rectify the Thomson family, you can't solve the problem by just smoothing out one or two people. of."

She knew that it would be useless to hold down Li De at this moment, it would only make some people hide and become a ticking time bomb of the empire, which might explode at any time.

The so-called blocking is worse than sparse, she intends to use this to draw out all uneasy factors, and then solve it all at once!

"Well, what am I doing now? Really want to visit this garden?" Kate said boredly, walking around the garden involuntarily, "Speaking of which, this yard is actually quite big, there are..."

In the middle of speaking, Kate suddenly saw a familiar figure and was stunned.

It was a beautiful blue girl. Not long before Kate remembered, she was still showing her talents in the new star wars, and created a miraculous fusion magic with Master Thomson. Unexpectedly, she appeared in Thomson now home!

The blue-haired girl was even more surprised than Kate. Her pupils shrank sharply, as if she never thought that Kate would come here, and even her voice was trembling and puzzled: "Why are you here? Queen Mother."

"I..." Kate was about to answer when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Empress? !etc……

"I" is her mother! ?

Queen Ashe is her mother! ?

"Sister Lu Ruby..." The shocking facts made Kate's mood become mixed, as if her mouth was filled with lime and red pepper, "Is she actually the princess of the Ashe Empire?!"

No.20 Nine Sections Waiting for Answer

"Sister..."

Kate stared lightly at the blue-haired girl, and it was only at this moment that she truly realized what it was like to be Queen Ashe.

Now she is not Kate Christian, let alone Carter Ravinas, but the leader and supreme commander of an empire—the only queen of the Ashe Empire! !

Inadvertently, the camouflage gradually took effect.

But this time it's not a complete disguise of abandoning the old personality and appearance, it's just a shallow imitation of Queen Ashe's character and thinking habits based on Kate's understanding of Queen Ashe.

But with Kate's superb camouflage, even if it's just a simple disguise, it's vivid enough, and it can be easily confused with the real one.

Her eyes became cold, and the expression on her face was full of anger.

Like a real mother scolding her child, she reprimanded: "Don't worry about the reason I came here, Lulu, please explain to me why you, who should have stayed in the palace, appeared in this Thomson family?"

"I... I just want to go out for a stroll." The blue-haired girl replied hesitantly.

Although Lulu is more powerful than her in school and has infinite brilliance, but in front of her mother, she is always a fledgling child, young and weak, so clumsy even in lying.

"Tell the truth! I don't want to hear your sophistry!"

Kate's response was tough and ruthless, breaking through Lu Ruby's defense line like a heavy hammer.

"I'm here to find Meister..." The blue-haired girl seemed to be a docile and sensible child, and she quickly confessed everything, "Mother... Mom! Isn't the situation in our empire very bad now? Meister is so good, I thought, if I discuss it with him, maybe there will be a good solution."

"Oh?" Kate knew that this was half-truth and half-truth. Luruby was a smart child, and she knew what to say to satisfy her mother.

If it were Kate, she would probably expose Lu Ruby's lies directly.But as Queen Ashe, she has no need to do that.

"So did you find a way?"

Kate smiled and asked seriously.

"Well... it's a secret." After thinking for a while, Lu Rubi took a few steps back and said mysteriously, "Our plan is still being planned and perfected. When we complete this plan, we will naturally follow Your mother reported it."

"Secret? Well, let me look forward to your plan." Kate praised, she didn't mind that Lu Rubi kept the secret plan.

Because from the perspective of Queen Ashe and mother, no matter how much they toss about, it's just a small fight, and it won't make a difference.

After all, they couldn't even detect the strangeness of the Thomson family. How could they have the vision and strength to participate in world-class wars?

They are still too naive.

Just as Kate was thinking this, Reed ran over from the side of the main entrance of Thomson's house.

It seemed that he had already informed Patriarch Thomson.

"Then you go ahead, I'll go first." So she waved her hand casually, and simply said goodbye to the blue-haired girl.

As Queen Ashe, Kate is a really busy person and has no leisure and time to waste on Lu Ruby.

The matter of the Thomson family must be dealt with quickly, and there are still a few things to be resolved before a complete war with the Solot Empire.

time does not wait!

"Mother's queen..." Suddenly, Lu Lubi called out and stopped her.

The blue-haired girl looked away, as if she wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?" Kate stopped temporarily and asked.

"No, it's nothing." After a long while, Lu Rubi finally shook her head, her voice was cold and indifferent, becoming the Lu Rubi that Kate knew in Honglan.

"Really." Kate sighed, turned around with some disappointment, and walked towards Thomson's mansion, no longer paying attention to the trivial matters of the blue-haired girl.

Although it may be possible to learn some things about Meister and Luruby in reality through this place, Kate is not a nosy person. The purpose of her coming here now is to complete the "Peerless Law" challenge!

As for what Lu Lubi thinks about her, there is no need to worry about it.Because, in this world, the levels between the two are vastly different.

Queen Ashe uses the world as a chessboard and everything as a chess piece.In comparison, Lu Rubi's actions can only be described as playing tricks.
