Once this hole is opened, the surrounding countries that are watching with eagerness will discover that the Clare Empire is old and frail, and these greedy hyenas will swarm up and take the body of the old man in the empire.
Matthew is an elector. If the empire dies, he will be a standard remnant of the empire.
The elector has a strong claim on the empire. Such a powerful person must live and die with the empire. The enemy will never allow him to live in this world.
Whether they like it or not, the relationship between Matthew and Claire's empire is one of prosperity and loss.
Because of this, he would take the initiative to do this regardless of reward.This is to protect his own interests, so he is particularly active.
After completing the transportation mission, the squadron leader guarding the outpost carefully informed Matthew that all adventurer teams above Silver must go to Groningen City, the capital of the province.
Matthew instinctively wanted to refuse this order. When would the orders of the Kingdom of Perth be able to control him, the elector of the Clare Empire?
But he soon thought of a possibility and quickly changed his mind.The Kingdom of Perth must be short of troops and wants to recruit adventurers again.
When the two sides are evenly matched and it is difficult to open up the situation, if they can backstab from inside the enemy, the effect will be good.
The only thing to consider is risk and reward.
This is a high-risk, high-reward venture worth a try.After weighing the matter, Matthew decided to respond to the call of the Kingdom of Perth and go to Groningen.
He told the team members his plan and let them decide for themselves.
Needless to say, Surante, she would follow Matthew even if he was about to pass through the gate to hell.
Zero's strength is almost equivalent to a blank slate, and her physical strength far exceeds that of a strong human being at the same level. She is certainly fearless.
She even vaguely hoped that something would happen so that she could have fun.
Medith hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing.
She wanted to see her husband and children as soon as possible, but she couldn't go back to the Misty Islands directly. She could only wait for Matthew to find a way to get them out.
The reason is simple. She was a sacrifice to Poseidon. If she appeared alive, wouldn't it mean that Poseidon's sacrifice was a joke?
The consequences of this exposure were too serious for her to bear, so Medith could only temporarily follow Matthew.
Before leaving the Poseidon Temple, she had a profound enlightenment and finally broke through the membrane and officially became a super level 1 powerhouse.
She had accumulated 500 years in Poseidon Temple and was on the verge of a breakthrough. Matthew brought good news about her family and completely let go of her worries.
She finally broke through to the super level before leaving Poseidon Temple. Level 1 whiteboard super position is also much better than most level [-] masters.
Although I really want to see my family as soon as possible, I have endured it for 500 years, and this is not enough time.Medith didn't want to owe Matthew any favors, so she simply chose to advance and retreat together with him.
After the consensus was reached, Matthew led the team to Groningen City, the capital of Groningen.
This was the first time Matthew left the jurisdiction of the Maritime Provinces.
I have been working as an earthbound spirit in Lundbell for three years, and it is rare to get out of here. If I don't break some big news, I would be sorry for the free air.
Matthew decided to hide in the army of the Kingdom of Perth and carry out a big job at the right time.
No matter how imaginative the commander of the Kingdom of Perth was, he would never have imagined that one of the electors of the Clare Empire was hiding next to him.
After reconfirming that there was no problem with the disguise, Matthew led the adventurer team and headed towards the provincial capital.
Along the way, Matthew saw many busy teams, including regular troops, mercenaries, and many adventurers of various races with different appearances.
Various strange demi-human races and even tough orcs appear here.
These demihuman races are members of the broad human race, so it is reasonable for them to appear in the Kingdom of Perth, a country of mercenaries.
The appearance of these people shows that the Kingdom of Perth has been planning this war for a long time.
The old king of the Kingdom of Perth has an excellent reputation and enjoys a high reputation in various countries on the mainland. This reminds Matthew of a person.
Traveling through Mount Santo, a country in former southern Africa.
A leader who is reviled by other countries may not be a good person, but a leader who is praised by all countries probably has big problems.
If even your enemies want you to keep doing it, something is wrong with you.
The province of Groningen was once the territory of the Kingdom of Perth. It was ceded to the Empire by the old king of the Kingdom of Perth decades ago as a gift to celebrate the founding of the Clare Empire for a thousand years.
From the perspective of the empire, the old king was a good man, but for the Kingdom of Perth, this old and discordant traitor who only died after reigning for 70 years was a disaster to the country.
The province of Groningen is just the icing on the cake for the empire, but for the Kingdom of Perth, it is a barrier to the northeast. Its status is similar to the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Song Dynasty and the fourteen states of Jiangbei in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Being able to cede such a strategic location shows the virtuous nature of the old King of Perth.
Matthew naturally understood the stakes.
From a third-party perspective, he would fight for the injustice of the Kingdom of Perth, but he is not a third-party, he is the elector of the evil Clare Empire.
His butt determines the specialization of his head.He and the empire both prospered and suffered losses.
After driving for a long time, Matthew finally thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
It can not only make the province of Groningen an integral part of the Kingdom of Perth, but also keep the empire from losing its dignity.
Just let the Kingdom of Perth become part of the empire.From now on, we will be one family in the empire and kingdom, and there will no longer be any distinction between them.
Matthew gave a thumbs up to his idea.
Just do it!
Chapter 128: Can you kill Diana?
In the northwest corner of the city of Groningen, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, General Fisher Rowan of the Kingdom of Perth, stood on the reviewing platform, patrolling the entire venue with a stern eye.
Under his majestic gaze, most people did not dare to look at him.
General Fischer was one of the three most famous generals of the Royal Army. He had suffered in this country led by a weak king for 30 years, and he dreamed of regaining Groningen.
Just when he thought he had no chance in this life, the wise prince Charles sent the incompetent old king to the underworld where he should have gone long ago to inherit the throne.
This was a coup that surprised the friendly people, but the Kingdom of Perth was full of joy.
The ministers and the people had no problem with Prince Charles coming to the throne.If so, it means it was too late for him to act.
To be fair, if the old king had died decades earlier, his evaluation might not have been so bad.
He is a good man, but not a good king.
He naively thought that he could gain the empire's goodwill by handing over the province of Groningen, the northern barrier of the kingdom, known as the "Dragon's Spine".
This idea made the Kingdom of Perth passive in the following decades, and they had to pay 170 million Mira every year to keep it safe.
The people of Perth who are still bloody hope that the old guy dies soon.
It's a pity that this world is so unfair. Damn people always refuse to die well. The old guy just managed to survive until he was almost a hundred years old.
Shortly after the new king Charles came to power, the new Khan [Whip of the Gods] Zalandin from all the grassland tribes agreed on a plan to carve up the four southwest provinces of the empire.
At the same time, he took out the huge inheritance left by his father, recruited a large number of mercenaries and adventurers to join the war, and regained the lost land in one fell swoop.
As Groningen changed hands, the reputation of the new king Charles reached its peak, and the morale of the people of the Kingdom of Perth continued to rise.
That's why they were able to have a stalemate with the Imperial Army on the frontal battlefield even though their strength was about the same.
In order to open up the situation, they once again recruited more mercenaries and adventurers to join the war.It was under this premise that Matthew and others came to Groningen.
Looking at Admiral Fisher on the stage, Matthew narrowed his eyes slightly and concentrated his energy without making a sound.He couldn't see through Fisher's strength, so Fisher's true strength was super.
He wanted to put Andre on his knees and spank him hard.
The Dawson Chamber of Commerce had previously provided him with detailed information on the famous masters and major generals of the Kingdom of Perth, among which General Fisher's strength was at the peak of level nine.
It was said that the ninth level was at the peak, but why was it already at the super level?
Matthew was a little numb.
Wrong information can really kill people.
Before, he thought that there was no enemy super position here, and even if he was exposed, he could lead his team to fight out.
But now the enemy has super positions and a well-trained army. Although he also has two super positions on his side, it is not easy to get everyone to evacuate safely.
You can’t reveal your strength casually, and you definitely can’t reveal your identity!
Matthew scolded Andre in his heart, but this time he wrongly blamed Andre.Fisher broke through to super position just the day before yesterday, and Andre was not a prophet, so of course he could not predict it.
Matthew secretly reminded himself that he was now a seventh-level boxer, so he had to calm down!
Among the equipment he brought out from Poseidon Temple was a [Ring of Mystery], which could prevent others from seeing through his true strength.
This is why he disguised himself as a seventh-level boxer.
No matter how strong the opponent is, he will always look like a cloud, unless he is a demigod/hero.But a demigod-level powerhouse will not participate in mortal struggles, so there is no need to worry.
Standing on the high platform, Fisher did not give an impassioned speech. He sincerely explained to everyone that the Kingdom of Perth needed the support of adventurers and mercenaries.
He did not ask for support in vain, but with sincerity and money.As long as you go all out to contribute to this war, you can get generous rewards.
It doesn't matter if you don't want to participate. He has only one request: mercenaries and adventurers who are unwilling to participate in the war are asked to temporarily retreat to the south of the kingdom and not enter the war zone.
This is a requirement that is completely in line with the rules of the game. Regardless of whether you are willing to participate in the war or not, at least no one is going against it on the surface.
When talking about business with mercenaries, don't talk about ideals or the future. Please use gold coins to smash them in the face. They like it very much.
The same goes for adventurers.
The difference between them and mercenaries is almost the difference between self-employed people and companies.
Adventurers like to travel alone, at most in small groups, while mercenaries operate in teams.
Adventurers have stronger individual combat effectiveness and are suitable for performing special tasks; mercenaries have stronger team combat effectiveness and can cooperate with regular troops in head-on combat.
According to Fisher's request, mercenary groups willing to participate in the war do not need to be broken up and mixed, but still maintain their original organization. The kingdom will give them corresponding military ranks according to their strength.
Adventurers are given equivalent military ranks based on combat level.
Level [-] and [-] adventurers correspond to the military ranks of major and lieutenant colonel respectively. Level [-] adventurers are awarded the equivalent rank of colonel, brigadier general and major general based on their strength.
This facilitates unified command.
Fisher promulgated detailed wartime regulations stipulating the powers and duties of adventurer officers.
Generally speaking, these regulations are very down-to-earth and do not restrict the adventurers' fighting methods, but give them full freedom.
After seeing Admiral Fisher's magnanimity, Matthew was a little worried about the future of the empire.
The Kingdom of Perth has decades of accumulated grievances and is led by excellent generals, so it is not easy to stop it.
What he was thinking about now was not how to recapture Groningen, but how to ensure that the ice front of the Kingdom's Northern Expedition would not run over Lundebel.
He had killed General Karl before, leaving the empire without a tiger general.
Although King Jessica of Crysia is solely responsible for this matter, it is also true that the empire is missing a general.
Unless Fisher can be eliminated, the encounter at Rundebell will be the trigger for the imbalance of power between the two sides.
Wait, get rid of Fisher?
Matthew's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated a bit.
He is now a member of the Perth Kingdom Army, and as long as he can get Fisher's appreciation, he can get close to him.
Fisher is just a blank slate. Although it is more powerful than the ninth level peak, it is not insurmountable.If you can seize the opportunity, you can kill him with one strike!
Just when Matthew was thinking wildly, Fisher smiled and called his name.
"Xiulun, please come and walk with me."
Matthew's mind was slightly focused, and his brain was working rapidly.
Has he been discovered?
should not.
If Fisher discovers something is wrong with him, the smartest choice is to quietly set up an ambush instead of alerting the enemy.
Since he didn't find it, there was no need to panic.
Matthew took three steps and two steps to reach Fisher and followed him forward.
After walking several hundred meters in silence, Fisher asked calmly: "Xiulun, tell me, why are you hiding your strength?"
Matthew was already prepared for Fisher's question. He said calmly: "I am an adventurer."
Fisher didn't pay attention to Matthew's somewhat explosive answer. He just asked calmly: "Have you heard of [Justice] Diana?"
"know."
"Are you confident that you can kill her on the battlefield?" Fisher turned around suddenly, stared at Matthew, and asked in a deep voice.
