Chapter 815: In War, It Is Normal for Innocent People to Be Affected.

Duke's Palace.

The eight largest nobles in the south gathered together.

The people with the lowest title here are all earls, and the ones with the lowest level of terror have reached the top ghost king level. They are all beings who have made significant contributions to the Eli Empire. Looking at the entire Southern Territory, they are the makers of the rules.

However, today, at the round table meeting, the expressions of the eight people were surprisingly consistent, with faces that were either shocked, angry, gloomy, or ferocious.

The leader, the Duke of Elk, opened his pair of vertical pupils and glanced past with his deathly white pupils. A terrifying supernatural threat that was infinitely close to a world-destroying ghost and god escaped, and gusts of sinister wind blew, causing the surrounding temperature to drop. Quite a few.

"Tell me what you think about this matter."

Duke Elk spoke in a sinister tone.

Earl Aino was the first to speak: "We underestimated the fourth prince. He disguised himself too thoroughly. Not only us, I am afraid that the entire royal city, including the royal family, was also deceived by the superb acting skills of the fourth prince." , to deal with such an existence, we cannot give him time to breathe, we need to defeat him at once."

Hear this.

The other nobles felt the same way.

Whether they admit it or not, the Fourth Prince is indeed scary.

Not to mention anything else, just the character of forbearing for more than ten years is enough to make people shudder.

If they are targeted by such a being, if they cannot be killed at once, they will be the ones who die in the future.

At this time.

A young earl hesitated and said: "Why do we have to fight against the fourth prince? The King Trial itself is an assessment to select the crown prince and determine the successor to the throne. In addition to our southern border, the eastern border, the western border, and the northern border all have their own tests. As the heir to the royal family, now that the fourth prince has suddenly emerged as an army and has such a kindhearted character, we can definitely turn our hostility into friendship and assist the fourth prince to win the trial for the king. As for the conquest army..."

The words have not yet finished.

Earl Aino interrupted unceremoniously: "The fourth prince wants to become the master of the southern territory, not to gain our support. Once he gains power, our fiefdom will sooner or later become his vassal. By then, we will There is no autonomy at all. In this case, apart from empty titles, what else do we have left? Don’t you understand this?"

Speaking of which.

Earl Aino turned his attention to the Duke of Elk again, and said with a distorted expression: "Your Majesty, I propose that while the fourth prince is still immersed in victory, gather the southern army and attack his territory. Only in this way can this threat be completely eradicated. "

"As for the royal family... we can hand over the supernatural weapon developed by the fourth prince. This is a secret weapon that can change the situation in the kingdom. If we hand it over, other princes and princesses will naturally shift their conflicts to them in order to fight for control."

Hear the words.

There was a dead silence at the meeting.

Duke Elk had something in his eyes.

The failure of the conquest army was largely due to the supernatural weapons in the hands of the fourth prince. A militia team that did not even have a ghost king could crush an elite division of 4,000 people with supernatural weapons. Who would not use such a strategic weapon? Jealous?

If he could intercept the manufacturing process of these weapons, he, the Duke of the Southern Territory, might be able to take a step further and establish his own kingdom.

Think of this.

He has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

He glanced around the seven people in the meeting and followed Earl Aino's words and concluded: "The southern territory belongs to us. Even the royal family has no right to interfere too much. What the fourth prince did is breaking this rule. But after opening this mouth, it seems justifiable that the royal family wants to intervene again. Everyone, it is not just a while that the royal family wants to take back these enfeoffed territories. This time, it is likely to be a temptation from the royal family."

"I want you to mobilize all the effective forces under your command. In three days, troops will be sent to the border town to end this farce."

The words fell.

No one on the field had an opinion.

They are used to being self-reliant and already regard the Southern Territory as one of their own. Now that someone wants to occupy their place, how could they be willing.

To know.

Even the royal family has no right to interfere too much in this regard.

The most striking feature is that the laws in the south are made by them, not the royal family.

One can imagine.

How much autonomy do they have?

Just thinking about it.

The next second.

A shocking loud noise suddenly rang out.

The source of the sound seemed to be at the city gate.

Duke Elk was stunned.

He immediately stood up and shouted: "What happened?"

A personal guard rushed in and said with a horrified look on his face: "Your Majesty, the fourth, fourth prince has led his troops in and has breached the gate of Eagle City."

As soon as these words fell.

The whole audience was shocked.

Eagle City is the ducal fiefdom.

And they are currently in the Duke's Mansion in Eagle City.

no.

How dare the fourth prince?

Did he think that after winning once, he would be able to look down upon him and have no rivals? Otherwise, how could he dare to attack the Duke's fiefdom.

For a while.

The nobles on the field were confused.

They all looked at the leader, Duke Elk.

at this time.

Duke Elk was also a little stunned.

This was the first time that he was beaten into the territory after becoming the Duke of the Southern Territory, and this person was still a prince.

What does the fourth prince want to do?

Did he really think that with his status as a prince, he couldn't touch him?

A thought came to mind.

The grimace of Marquis Elk turned completely dark.

The ghost realm unfolds.

Disappeared into the Duke's Palace.

…

the other side.

The gate of Eagle City.

Fighting raged, buildings collapsed, and screams broke out.

Five hundred ghost gunmen armed with flintlock guns advanced at the speed of three steps and a volley of bullets.

Even the magnificent city walls could not withstand the overwhelming flames.

All ghost soldiers who tried to stop him along the way, whether they were ghost kings, abyss-level ghost kings, or top ghost kings, were killed by bullets and fell in a pool of blood.

soon.

The gate of Eagle City fell.

Shen Jian stepped into the city.

I saw all kinds of ghosts with frightened expressions.

Think about it.

He took out the ghost trumpet and consoled him: "Don't be afraid, everyone. In war, it is normal for some aftermath to affect innocent people, and it is reasonable to cause some small casualties."

"I suggest you stand still and wait for death's choice. No matter the outcome is good or bad, this is the choice of fate, isn't it?"

"Let us trust in the Lord, Amen."

Shen Jian said as he spoke.

The ghost gunmen opened the way.

Continuously mopping up the city defense troops and Duke's Palace soldiers who gathered from all directions.

Hear this.

All the ghosts were shocked.

It's normal for God to have some minor casualties.

Listen, is this human talk?

You bitch, have you always been so shameless, or is it just today?

The ghosts were furious.

As citizens of the Duke's fiefdom, they had personally experienced the sarcasm of the victors, but it was still infuriating for people like Shen Jian to laugh and joke when their lives were at stake, and not take their lives seriously at all.

Is he really a royal prince?

Didn't this fourth prince attack Eagle City just to occupy the southern border? And isn’t the most important thing about unifying the southern border the support of the people in their territory?

The way to be king is to follow what the people want, but what is this fourth prince doing?

What he did was not caring about their lives at all.

Could it be that he wants to be a tyrant?

All the ghost people were confused.

See this.

Shen Jian didn't know what he was thinking of. He thought about it and said unexpectedly: "You guys here don't believe in the Lord?"

"If that doesn't work, how about believing in God? Amitabha."

"If that doesn't work, believe in the light..."

Group of ghosts:......

grass

You're so fucking stupid that you can't spit out ivory.

You are a professional when it comes to messing with people's mentality.

Both the citizens of Eagle City and the guards who went forward to resist the advance of the ghost gunmen all had their faces flushed.

The most insulting thing is often not the physical attack, but the mental attack.

And like Shen Jian, it is no longer a simple mental attack, but mental pollution.

It made them want to tear the fourth prince alive in front of them.

So infuriating.

See this.

Shen Jian didn't care.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

Popular support?

Can it be eaten?

When he was in the Qingguo dungeon, he gained a wave of public support because he needed to collect dragon energy.

But in the Eli Empire, his main mission is to conquer the city, destroy existing plot points to maximize profits, eliminate other princes and princesses as quickly as possible, and get half of Luo Fengtian from the royal family. permissions.

In this case, public support is of no use to him.

Of course he can do whatever he wants.

In fact.

If it weren't for the side mission restrictions that required him to use his identity as a lord to attack the city, he would have descended on Eagle City a few days ago, wiped out the Duke of Elk and other nobles, and unified the southern border.

The current speed is still too slow.

after all.

In addition to the southern border, there are also the eastern border, the western border, the northern border, the high seas, and the most important royal city.

If he wasted ten days and a half on each super-large supernatural place, it would take him several months to clear a dungeon.

During this time, he could do nothing.

If the Buddha Kingdom takes the opportunity to do something small, he won't be able to care about it.

This is not what Shen Jian wants to see.

Because of this, he would directly attack Eagle City.

Thinking.

A dark wind blows.

Shen Jian looked around.

High in the sky, eight ghost figures were seen standing out of thin air.

The terror level of each ghost is not lower than that of the top ghost king, especially the leading ghost with pale vertical pupils, whose own terror level is infinitely close to that of a world-destroying ghost.

He superimposed the ghost realm, placing himself in a high position, overlooking the chaotic scene below.

Subsequently.

His pale pupils immediately fell on Shen Jianjian.

It was Duke Elk.

He stared at Shen Jian and was about to speak, but Shen Jian had already taken the lead and said, "Hey, isn't this Xiao Ai?"

Count Aino:...

The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

God damn Xiao Ai.

I don’t know, I thought we had such a good relationship.

"Xiao Ai, we are really destined. The ghost craftsman you gave me last time was so useful. When will it develop again, let me know and I will steal it from you next time."

Shen Jian is very enthusiastic.

A win-win business attitude.

Count Aino:...

He stared at Shen Jian so hard that his back molars were almost broken.

Damn you, you really don’t want to pick up the pot.

"That's enough, Fourth Prince, do you think you can bluff like this? I have seen your weakness, and you will regret everything you did today."

Duke Elk twisted his face and said with a sinister smile.

Shen Jian:?

His weakness?
