Chapter 27
Three days later, Wu Wei, who had prepared everything, took an elite force and set off on a journey to the Cornflower Kingdom.
Two Sin Angel Maids, Rem and Ram;
60 Dragon Blood Warriors who activated the Dragon Blood Transformation Ability, and a Dragon Blood Venerable.
These are the core of Wu Wei's team and the reliance on which he will rely on to ensure his safety in the future.
The remaining 10 fifth-level human swordsmen, 50 fourth-level light cavalry, 100 third-level archers, 200 second-level sword and shield soldiers, and 300 first-level spearmen were all recruited from the military building that had just been built in the Twilight Territory.
Bringing these soldiers was mainly to conceal people's tracks.
In the past few days, Alexiel has already explored more information about the current situation of the Cornflower Kingdom. The
Orcs' Windfury Court once again launched an invasion war against several cities on the border of the Kingdom Alliance, which made the already chaotic situation in the Cornflower Kingdom even worse.
The coalition that the royal family reluctantly formed was defeated at the very beginning on the battlefield. The domestic reactionaries smelled an opportunity, and the three major princely forces, including Grand Duke Lanshi, began to stir, and they probably couldn't hold back any longer.
Wartime has always been the best environment for making trouble, and Wu Wei was unwilling to wait any longer, so he embarked on a journey.
It's not that he was too anxious, but the distance from Weiguangling to the Cornflower Kingdom is a full 8,000 kilometers, and it would take at least half a month to advance at full speed.
By the time he arrived with his troops, the situation would definitely have changed more. Speed is of the essence in war. If he missed the best time to make trouble, he might miss this opportunity.
If a country cannot be destroyed from the inside, then the force and resources required for a frontal attack are no joke. At least Wu Wei definitely can't come up with them at this stage.
······
Just as Wu Wei led the team to rush over, the Bluestone Territory, thousands of miles away, was also secretly accumulating strength.
In the courtyard of the Bluestone Grand Duke's castle, the Bluestone Grand Duke Eric Soloto, who was in his prime, wearing a gorgeous enchanted armor, was holding a sapphire sword and fighting with an elegant and beautiful long-haired female swordsman.
Both sides were extremely powerful, and the aftermath of the battle swept the entire courtyard like a storm.
But if you look closely, the lady with a peerless appearance was obviously more calm in her gestures.
Eric also saw this and knew that the opponent's strength was still above his sky knight, so he no longer had any concerns. The magic sword glowed blue, and a giant blue sword energy was slashed out with one sword, slashing straight at the opponent.
Facing this fighting spirit slash that was enough to kill a ninth-level flying dragon, the female swordsman still had her hands behind her back, and the standard long sword in her hand casually drew an arc, and she said softly:
"Isn't it too reckless to use a large-scale fighting spirit attack in such a beautiful garden? It would be a pity if these beautiful flowers were destroyed."
While speaking, the long sword in his hand had already touched the edge of the fighting spirit attack, and with a casual upward thrust, the violent attack flew high into the sky and disappeared.
Eric's eyes flashed with shock for a moment - even a legendary strongman could not dissolve his full-strength attack so easily, unless the opponent was···
Decades of training and sophistication made him suppress his shock. He calmly put away his sword, and with a gentle smile on his face, he complimented :
"Miss Leia, I really didn't expect that your strength is so unfathomable! I now hope more and more that you can stay and work for me."
The female swordsman was Alexiel, but her name at the moment was Leia Angela.
After hearing what Grand Duke Lanshi said, Alexiel thought of the instructions that the Holy Lord had conveyed to her not long ago, so this time she no longer perfunctorily evaded the question, but said bluntly:"Sorry! Duke Eric, you should have guessed my level of strength, right?"
"Then you should know that someone like me can only serve a king. Unfortunately, you are not one."
Hearing such a straightforward rejection, even the Grand Duke of Lanshi, who has been in a high position for many years, was a little unhappy at the moment, but he was more concerned about not being able to get the other party's loyalty. Looking at the perfect and intoxicating face of Ms. Leia, he couldn't control the evil fire in his heart at this moment:
Damn it! I have obviously met such a beautiful and powerful subordinate candidate, but I can't get it, just because I am not the king! What a ridiculous reason, but the world is always so ignorant!
It's all the fault of that damn old man. I am obviously the best candidate to inherit the throne!
If I were chosen as king, this country would not become like this!
No, I must not let her go. If such a strong person surrenders to those ignorant royal families, my plan will inevitably be affected!
Thinking of this, he finally stopped worrying and retorted in a deep voice:
"I am not one now, but I will be one soon!"
At this moment, his ambition was exposed.
"Oh?"
Alexiel asked meaningfully,"What does the Grand Duke mean?"
Now that the words have been spoken, Eric no longer hides them and speaks frankly:
"The Cornflower Kingdom is now in a state of dire straits and is beyond redemption. I, Lanshi, have a strong army and am very powerful. As long as I take advantage of the lack of royal troops during the war and attack the capital, I will be the new king of this country!"
Alexiel sneered in his heart, but pretended to be surprised and asked,"You want to steal the throne? The nobles of the kingdom will not agree with such a brutal method, right?"
"I am the last crown prince of this country. As long as I get rid of all the royal family members with thunderous means, I will be the best candidate for king."
"Moreover, I have already bribed most of the nobles in the royal capital with a large sum of money. Even Prince Bol and Duke Hongye have confirmed that they will support me. As long as I succeed in the battle, they will make me the king!"
"It's not that I want to steal the throne, but the royal family has lost the support of the people and the nobles! Now only I can save this country from danger!"
At this point, Duke Eric made another invitation to Alexiel with a heroic look:
"Come on, Miss Leia! Join me now and help me ascend the throne. You will be a founding hero!"
"This is definitely more cost-effective than going directly to a king! I will never treat you unfairly!"
Alexier was unmoved, stepped back a few steps, and replied with a smile:"Before everything is confirmed, no matter how much confidence you have, it is not safe, but since you said so, then I will keep looking forward to it."
"Miss Lea, what do you mean?"
"I can continue to help you as a guest official, but I will only officially pledge my loyalty to you once you ascend the throne."
"Come on, future king of cornflowers."
