Chapter 820: False War; Real War

The fourth prince is a player? !

When this idea came to mind, the Chinese man with the ID [Fang Xiu] immediately felt his scalp numb, and he felt thunder roaring in his mind, which made his brain go blank.

Especially when their eyes met, a chill surged from his toes to Tian Ling Gai, making his hair stand on end.

This news is amazing!

The "mysterious existence" that Western ghost masters are looking for turns out to be the fourth prince of the Eli Empire who has been hotly discussed in recent times.

In his opinion, this was impossible to happen.

Without him, this level of status is too noble.

Even if this fourth prince has always been regarded as a playboy and incompetent in the hearts of the people of the kingdom, he is still a prince after all, and his starting identity is completely different from that of other players.

No matter how unbearable a prince is, he cannot be matched by ordinary people.

No wonder horror games say they destroy the balance of the game. This step is directly a dimensionality reduction blow.

If the horror game hadn't given them the permission to become stronger and hide the player's identity, once they appeared in front of the Fourth Prince, their identities would be exposed instantly, and there would be no gaming experience at all.

But...

In order to find this "mysterious existence", they have automatically exposed the player's identity, which is equivalent to walking directly from the dark to the bright side. Now it seems that this plan is extremely stupid.

If he hadn't known that [Adolf] was a five-star player in the Western Holy See, he might have suspected that this person was an undercover agent of the Dragon Kingdom.

This is also the time.

He finally knew why the fourth prince could develop a flintlock gun and even take out a rocket launcher.

Think of this.

The Chinese player with the ID [Fang Xiu] trembled.

Wearing a chef's hat, he lowered his head immediately, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the fourth prince, as if he thought that this way he would not be noticed.

See this.

Shen Jian just glanced at it.

A ban passed.

He also ordered the ghost mayor to take him down.

Subsequently.

He entered the Duke's palace.

His eyes fell on the scarlet panel that popped up.

[Branch task three: Become famous (completed)]

[Task requirements: Obtain the support of three count or above nobles. 】

[Current goal: (8/3)]

[Note: The player has exceeded the target, has triggered the "Dungeon Terminator" title effect, and the reward has been distributed. 】

[Reward for destroying the plot: initial favorability +30. 】

[Scope of application: Southern Territory. 】

Shen Jian was not in a good mood.

This "Copy Terminator" title works really well.

Just by capturing Eagle City and gaining the support of the eight largest nobles in the South, he received an initial favorability +30 reward.

Even though it only increased his favorability by 30 points, this was applicable to the entire Southern Territory, and the entire Southern Territory residents maintained a favorable impression of him in the friendly stage, which meant that the resistance he encountered in unifying the Southern Territory would completely disappear.

If it took him more than half a year to integrate the power of the Southern Territory before, then under the effect of the initial favorability +30, it will take less than a month for him to truly own the territory of the Southern Territory and become the well-deserved ruler of the Southern Territory, with a status comparable to that of a small Emperor of the land.

but……

This can only be regarded as the icing on the cake for Shen Jian.

after all.

His vision is not limited to the southern border.

Adults, of course, want them all.

The southern border, the eastern border, the western border, the northern border, and even the entire kingdom are within his scope.

He wants ninety-nine points of the world of Eli Empire.

Just thinking about it

New panel prompts flashed before him.

[It has been detected that the player has overcompleted the branch task and a new branch has been opened. 】

[Branch Task 4: Unify the Southern Territory. 】

[Content: A qualified Lord of the Southern Territory will have unimpeded instructions and be supported by countless people in the territory. He can live a life of luxury and wealth just by brushing his face. 】

[Task requirement: Cover more than 90% of the southern territory with reputation. 】

[Note: This branch task is unlimited until the end of the King Trial. 】

Take a look.

Shen Jian withdrew his gaze.

This branch task is not difficult, but it does take time.

What he lacks most now is time.

There was no way he could wait for branch task four to be completed before making other plans.

In that case, he would need to stay in this copy for three months or even more than half a year.

This was not what he expected.

Look at it this way.

He needs to transcend the thriller game and occupy the other four realms.

certainly.

The final siege of the city still has to be left to the border town, so as not to waste time or violate the restrictions of the thriller game.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Jian looked at the ghost scribe Kali Tier beside him and asked: "Where is the next door to the southern border?"

"The Eastern Territory is the territory under the rule of the second prince."

Kali Tire explained: "When the second prince was dispatched, he had a close relationship with the Duke of the East. Through operations, he was sent to the richest territory in the East, a five-star supernatural land under the rule of a marquis. He also gained the support of the Duke of the East, and in the second year of the King Trial, he expanded his jurisdiction to one-third. He had a ghost knights under his command, numbering as many as three thousand, and was once I think it’s only a matter of time before we win the King’s Trial.”

Speaking of which.

She hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something.

Shen Jian smiled, stretched out his hand to tuck her hair that was hanging around her eyes behind her ears, and said, "There is nothing to avoid between you and me. You can say whatever you want. You know, I can't live without you."

Hear this.

Ghost Clerk Kali Tier's heartbeat quickened and he subconsciously glanced at Shen Jian... What does the Fourth Prince mean? Is the relationship between them so close?

but……

Looking at Shen Jian's sincere eyes, she lowered her head in a panic, as if a deer was pounding in her heart. If there was a mirror at this time, she would definitely see a blush on her face.

I don’t know if His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince saw it.

for a long time.

Only then did she readjust her thoughts, and said shyly and worriedly: "Your Highness, you must be careful of other princes and princesses. Now you are the confirmed lord of the Southern Territory, and you have basically locked up the final victory in the King's Trial. The other princes and princesses are now The only thing that can be done is to muddy the water in the Southern Territory and plunge the Southern Territory into chaos, so that they can have a chance."

"And the Southern Territory borders the Eastern Territory, and the Eastern Territory is the second prince's territory. He will definitely use any means to cause massacres in the Southern Territory, whether by killing people, poisoning, or bewitching people's hearts, especially since the Second Prince has three thousand ghost knights under his command. , their actions are efficient, and if you want to guard against them, you need to prepare in advance.”

Hear the words.

Shen Jian nodded slightly.

There was no trace of surprise on his face.

One hundred percent what Kali Till said will come true.

This is inevitable.

If he were another royal heir, after hearing that a prince had secured victory, his first thought would be to sabotage it.

but……

You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days.

The best defense is offense.

Instead of defending against others, it is better to directly destroy the enemy from the root.

This.

It is very consistent with his idea of ​​unifying the four realms in advance and ending the trial for the king.

Think of this.

Shen Jian's eyes showed a little excitement.

Think about it.

He asked: "Do you know the composition of the nobility in the Eastern Territory and the distribution range of the second prince's influence?"

The ghost scribe Kali Tire felt a thump in his heart.

I always felt that Shen Jian's words would mean nothing good.

The last time this happened, the fourth prince broke into Earl Aino's territory alone.

"Your Highness, don't you think..."

"Be bold, you're not wrong." Shen Jian gave an encouraging approval.

Kali Till:…

She couldn't help but hold her forehead.

Your Highness is crazy, what should you do? Quite urgent.

"Your Highness, are you crazy or am I crazy? You are very strong, but two fists cannot defeat four hands. If you are discovered in the East, everything we have done will be meaningless, and the second prince will not look at it. Since you are his brother, I will let you go."

The ghost secretary's tone became a little higher.

Strongly discouraged.

However……

Shen Jian has made up his mind.

Waving his hands, he said: "Tell me the specific information and I will take care of it. I don't have so much time to guard against the conspiracies of so many people. The best way is to directly neutralize them."

The ghost clerk choked.

But think about it.

This is really the style of the fourth prince.

From the Earl of Aino to the Duke of Elk, the fourth princes all behaved in this way.

And it turns out that this approach does work.

Immediately.

She was the one who sighed and said: "I don't know much, but in the first year of the King Trial, I once inquired about the intelligence of the Eastern Territory. The division of power in the Eastern Territory is very different from that of the Southern Territory. The Southern Territory is an autonomous region for nobles. , and the Eastern Territory established a Noble Freemasonry, and nobles of all sizes joined it, adopting a ten-person system to formulate the development strategy of the Eastern Territory. In other words, without these ten directors, in a short time Within, the Eastern Territory will be paralyzed."

"Of course, the second prince is also a factor that cannot be ignored. He has gathered the voice of many small nobles, and has the support of the Duke of the Eastern Territory. He has a lot of talking power in the Freemasonry. He wants to disrupt the Eastern Territory and make it give up this It was decided that at least half of the people would not be able to attend.”

Shen Jian understood.

To put it simply, it is a company's shareholding system.

What he has to do is prevent other directors from attending the meeting.

False war: strategic competition, strategizing, making decisions before taking action.

Real war: Kill all your senior leaders, and you will never be able to successfully pass a decision in this life.
