Chapter 374 373 The World Wakes Up

Chapter 374 373. Awakening

It was late at night, and Tanya sat at the desk, concentrating on reading the report of the territory governor.

Since the invasion of the Infection, Solon has adopted very tough material management regulations and executed many merchants who maliciously hoarded and resold food, but the prices in the major rear territories far away from the core control area of ​​the empire are still high.

After receiving her signal, the Green Shade Territory hoarded a large amount of food, but with the fall of the northern border and the invasion of the Infection threatening the central region, the price of food at this time is already twenty times that of peacetime.

Not only that, the territory governors also reported a very unpleasant news.

The city-states around the Green Shade Territory began to distribute weapons to civilians and conduct armed training. Some city-states are even reaching employment agreements with foreign races or using food to trade with adventurers.

Everyone knows the attack method of Jinran now. The biggest threat to Jinran by a group of ordinary people armed to the teeth is nothing more than bows and arrows. Tanya doesn't think these lords are so enthusiastic and willing to compete with Jinran.

The longer the war with Jinran lasts, the weaker Solon's national strength will be. The news received from the palace in the past few days all reveal the anxiety of her father and the nobles.

Tanya rubbed her eyebrows, exhaled deeply, put the letter aside, and was thinking about drinking a sip of hot tea when Chihong appeared beside her with a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you." Tanya said tiredly, picking up the letter from the territorial governor, "Take a look and tell me what you think."

Chihong read it carefully and remained silent.

"Don't worry." Tanya saw Chihong's hesitation.

Chihong activated the soundproofing magic circle in the room, and then half-knelt in front of Tanya respectfully: "Your Highness, we should leave Rodmire."

Tanya closed her eyes, raised her head, and sighed deeply.

"The arrival of the magic tide will reshuffle the order, and the arrival of the dye has seriously damaged Solon's vitality. Is it time to leave... But the situation on the front line seems to have stabilized in the past few days. Maybe we can wait a little longer?" She hesitated.

The soundproof barrier rippled, and Chihong frowned. She stood up vigilantly and went outside the study. Not long after, she returned in surprise.

"Your Highness... Prince of Storm is visiting."

Tanya was startled: "So late, what is he doing?"

"Not only that, Prince of Storm is pretending to be a guard."

Tanya was shocked by Chihong's words. She knew her brother very well. He always did things openly and rarely covered up like this. Whose eyes and ears did he hide his identity to avoid?

"Should I meet him or not..." Tanya was torn between her conscience and her desires.

Thinking of what happened when she went to Civita, she gritted her teeth and told Chihong: "Go pick him up in person."

Looking at the tall figure who entered the room with Chihong, Tanya's uneasiness became stronger and stronger - Zenil had almost changed his appearance. He deliberately disguised his face with a furry animal skin mask, and used body shaping gel to change his body shape, making him look potbellied.

If she hadn't known that he was her brother, Tanya would never have been able to connect this ugly, fat big man with the handsome and burly Zenil.

Zenil felt the gap in the mask from his neck and slowly took off the animal skin mask that seemed to be connected to his flesh and blood.

Because of the mask, Zenil's face was flushed, and his arrogance and strength that kept people away from him were gone.

Seeing Tanya's mouth corners raised, Zenil also smiled bitterly and shook the mask in his hand: "My face must be very ugly now."

"Storm..." Tanya stopped, sighed, and changed her words, "Brother, what happened?"

Zenil walked straight to Tanya's side, and the huge height difference made Tanya have to look up at him.

Red nervously flashed to the side of the two to prevent possible accidents.

Zenil's big hand gently pressed on Tanya's shoulder, his eyes were particularly gentle, and Tanya was stunned.

Many years ago, when she was bullied by other children, Zenil helped her out many times, and his eyes were the same at that time.

As he grew older, Zenil, who became the Prince of Storm, became more and more distant from her, and the sense of alienation became stronger and stronger. Tanya no longer had any intersection with him... It was really a nostalgic feeling.

"I originally thought you would refuse to see me. After all, you are very smart, but at critical moments, you are always influenced by your cleverness. You may lose the big picture because of the small things. You are not as good as Sera in this aspect..."

"Zenir!" The warmth that just emerged in her heart was immediately shattered by this long paragraph. Tanya glared at her brother who could not speak fiercely.

"Okay, but I still have to say that it is a true statement." As if he did not understand Tanya's embarrassment and anger, Zenir added a sentence.

"Father may be crazy, leave Rodmire quickly."

The abrupt words made Tanya's head buzz, and she raised her head in disbelief.

Zenir nodded heavily to her.

"I...I don't understand."

"If you don't want to meet me, I will set off to return to the Storm Prince's territory tonight." Zenir pressed Tanya's shoulder with more force.

"What happened!"

Zenir leaned over and whispered, Tanya was shocked and trembling all over.

"Why did my father do this!"

"How did you know!"

Zenil didn't answer, but just moved the hand on his shoulder to Tanya's head, and rubbed it gently: "Go back to your green collar quickly, the era of chaos is about to begin. The magic is about to begin. The tide, contamination, and anger of aliens, we must give up this identity of Solon, otherwise we will inevitably fall into the bottomless abyss with our father. You don’t need me to teach you what to do.”

"Maybe we will be enemies in the future, but I will definitely leave a place for you in the Storm Territory, Tanya... don't let anything like Lulutis happen again, and hold on to every card in your hand."

After saying that, Zenil turned and left. Looking at his back, Tanya hesitated to speak.

Chihong, who had listened to all the content, was already kneeling on the ground. She held Tanya's hand and placed it on her head: "Your Highness..."

Tanya clenched her hands into fists: "Gather our men and return to the Green Shade Territory, tonight!"

…

…

Crestow, the royal capital of Sligo.

The people who accompanied Noel in the palace today were not the painter and the maid, but the personal Silencer who had been unmasked by him.

After killing the nobles to a river of blood and taking back the power, Noel felt that he was very unsafe. At his strong request, the personal Silent One stayed with him completely, without even taking a rotation.

The Silent One had a cold look on her face, and she only gave basic feedback to Noel to show her respect for the imperial power. She remained silent most of the time.

The Quiet One's cold and sullen expression might be a threat and torment to others, but to Noel...it only excites him.

Noel admired the latest information given to them by the Theocracy with great interest and marveled at it.

"Morning Leader, it's interesting, it's really interesting." As he said that, he cast his gaze on the Silent One beside him, "You think so too, right, Little Silent~~"

"My name is not Little Silence."

"You didn't tell me your name, so I just called him that. As the Emperor of Sligo, this shouldn't be considered a blasphemy against the Silent One." Noel disagreed. "Come on, tell me what you think of this Dawn Territory."

"..." Xiao Jijie was helpless, "The summoning template they provided is very good. According to the feedback from frontline magicians, it saves mana far more than the currently commonly used templates, and the stability of the summoning ritual seems to have been significantly improved."

Noel hugged the Silent One's waist and said naturally: "There are various signs that the Gluttonian from the Dawn Leader is really a very outstanding summoner. What he showed at Zenil's birthday party Power is just the tip of the iceberg. Pope Laurent must have had a premonition of something before sending Sera to him... She will be very safe by his side."

Almost instantly, Noel felt like he had figured out a lot of things.

"The Dawn Territory is so small and Port Demorris has fallen. Haven't they been attacked?" Little Silence resisted and struggled, but Noel refused to let go.

"You have discovered the key point. Broken Gold City still maintains good communications. According to them, the entire Red Flame Mountain Range has been infected. They can barely keep the city intact, but the Dawn Territory in the Red Flame Mountain Range has maintained its Contact, and no rescue-related matters were mentioned..."

"This glutton is far more powerful than we imagined. It is unimaginable that there are such outstanding summoners in this era."

As he murmured, Noel suddenly burst out laughing: "After Diran was eliminated, I really wanted to meet this glutton who could capture Sera's heart, to see if he was as cold and unscrupulous as the rumors say... By the way Discuss with him the techniques for dealing with girls.”

Another Silencer appeared silently in the palace. The little Silence, still in Noel's arms, struggled to break free from his clutches and flickered away.

"Can you still be considered my personal Silent One after running so far?" Noel pretended to be dissatisfied, then turned around and asked, "You don't have a good smell... Next time, let a woman deliver the message so that people can see me. It’s not good to have such an impact on Xiao Jingjing.”

The Quiet One held up the letter in his hand indifferently.

Glancing at the name of the writer, Noel frowned: "Are you sure it's him?"

"It was his secretary who came in person." The Silent One added, "But it was disguised."

"The lady with the monocle who has an ambiguous relationship with him?"

"Your Majesty, I need to remind you that if you are interested in her, this will be a diplomatic incident."

"Am I really that bad in your eyes?" Noel asked as he opened the letter. The helplessness of having his character criticized only stayed on his face for a few seconds before being replaced by huge shock.

Noel, who always had a playful smile, broke his guard. He pointed the hand holding the letter in the direction of Solon and cursed.

"Dewek, you stinking idiot, scumbag, lunatic!"

The sudden rage silenced the two Quiet Ones in the palace.

"Take it and have a look. Let the Head of Silence also take a look. Dewek is the madman, a complete madman!"

Xiao Jingjing reached out to take the letter and only read a few lines. Cold sweat broke out on her pretty face, but then she calmed down.

"Solon intends to release the impregnation to weaken the strength of the foreign races so that they cannot preserve their strength... Your Majesty, this is exactly the same as what you clamored against the various races in the Papal City."

Another Quiet One calmly analyzed: "Our house is on fire, and people with malicious intentions are watching, waiting for the fire to go out, and the moment we are exhausted, they rush up and knock us down... Since they already have I don’t think Dweck’s idea is wrong, although it is shameful, but..."

"But from the perspective of the four major countries, is it correct?" Noel laughed first, then walked outside the palace in person and asked the guards to summon the leader of the Silent Ones.

After doing all this, he walked up to the Silent One and looked at him as if he were a fool.

“What if he was doing it in our name in Sligo?”

The two Quiet Ones trembled.

Noel kept slapping the Quiet Man in the face with the letter: "Idiot, you are not a brainless Goblin dwarf. Use your brain to think about it. Dwek would blatantly act in the name of Solon by doing such a thing. ”

"Think about it, you idiot!" Noel was furious and slapped him.

This was the first time since he took the throne that he had treated the Quiet Ones so badly.

"At the meeting in Papal City, I declared in front of the faces of all races that as long as Sligo is lost, Dipeng will appear on the territory of all races. It was I who accelerated the formation of alliances between all races."

The Quiet One had figured it out, and he was trembling.

"Understood, right?" Noel pointed at himself, "If the dip dye is released, all races will immediately think of Sligo and me who threatened everyone with the dip dye during the meeting in the Papal City!"

"Even if there is sufficient evidence to prove that this is Dwek's arbitrary action and a crazy move he made to prevent Solon from falling behind after the decline of national power, will other races believe it?"

"Dewek is pulling me...no, he is pulling the four major countries into trouble!"

"Once the incident is exposed, he will even insist that it is a conspiracy with Sligo and a conspiracy with the four major countries! Just like when all the tribes conspired to encircle and suppress the Dragon Clan, what do you think we should do when it reaches that point?"

"But...but the alien races are already ready to move, and the four major countries should unite..."

"Unite?" Noel sneered. "Except for the Theocracy, the leaders of Solon and Codezon are all pig-brained. Unite with them to advance and retreat together... I don't need such stupid allies."

"Remember clearly, even if Sligo needs an alliance, it should be the Theocracy. No matter how inferior Antonio is to Laurend, he is still an excellent defender of the status quo."

"Dewek is just a gambler who only bets on the fate of the country in times of adversity."

"Ravennis of Cordzoun is ruthless at home, indecisive externally, and is unruly and cruel."

"By joining forces with them, I'm afraid Sligo won't be able to sleep well." Noel said in a low voice.

Xiao Jingjing stared at Noel blankly, as if he didn't recognize this unusually sober man.
