Chapter 123 Titus' Appreciation (Part )
South of Dante, the boundary river.

The boundary river was originally named Qiuyun River. The river is wide and fast-flowing, and it is a natural barrier separating Dante and Turan. Therefore, both countries are accustomed to calling it the boundary river.

At this time, four giant floating bridges were built on the river, and dense groups of cavalry were passing by quickly.

These cavalrymen are well-equipped and murderous, and it is obvious that they are elite soldiers who have fought in many battles.

After the cavalry, dozens of large carts came in a line, with the emblem of the Holy See printed on them, and sorcerers sitting inside.

These warlocks were dressed in golden robes with red scales painted on their chests. They were the famous Warlocks of Order.

In Qinglan, Warlock is a special profession.

Compared to the Burning Mages, their Burning Techniques are relatively simple, but their destructive power is even greater, and the Order Warlock is the most famous among them.

In the sky, more than a hundred Burning Laws flew across the boundary river. The lowest-level among them was at a high level, and the leader was even more powerful, and he was actually a top saint.

On the bank on Dante's side, O'Callum watched the army crossing the river expressionlessly, his expression becoming increasingly dissatisfied:

"Someone, notify the rear army to speed up and cross the river! Dao Lan, that old fox, won't give us too much time."

"Yes, sir!" a general replied.

"Also, tell the rear troops to dismantle the pontoon bridge immediately after crossing the river."

"Sir, this... doesn't that mean we have no way out?"

"A way out?"

O'Karlen sneered.

"I came to conquer, not to retreat. Send the order immediately!"

"Yes!"

In the tent of Earl Tangdi.

The count stared at the table, his chest heaving violently, but he said nothing.

In front of him, Ken knelt on one knee, awaiting his punishment.

This time he was not only defeated, but also lost all his horses and weapons. Viscount Horton also died as a result. The Earl would definitely not forgive him.

After a long while, the Earl took a deep breath and said calmly:

“Get up, Horton’s death is not entirely your fault, he was too arrogant.

Arrogance is the greatest sin."

"My lord, I am incompetent."

“Your guilt is inevitable, including your subordinates who surrendered with you.

But now there is a chance to redeem yourself, are you willing to do it?"

"Sir, please speak."

"Let me ask you first. If Raven lets you go this time and lets you deal with him again, are you willing?"

Ken thought for a moment and said, "I have already paid the ransom. Now he and I owe each other nothing."

"Very good, my trust in you is worthy. Now I want you to assassinate him.

If successful, you and your men will be exonerated."

Ken nodded firmly: "I will definitely do it!"

"Very good. To ensure success, I will let Gures cooperate with you."

After saying this he looked towards the shadow of the tent.

Sitting there was a young man in red clothes, with red hair and cold eyes.

"You must return to my territory tomorrow, control the refugees in the territory, and allow them to enter Lentini in batches."

"Oh? What are you going to do?"

"Create chaos and give Ken an opportunity," the Earl said with cold eyes, "an opportunity to kill that kid."

"If they don't obey, I can kill them, right?"

The red-haired young man licked his lips, which were still stained with blood.

"casual."

"That's no problem." His eyes flushed red.

"Ken, you only have this one chance, don't let me down again."

"My subordinate understands."

"Go out."

After Ken left, Gu Leisi stood up and said with a sinister smile:

"He killed Mr. Holden, and you just let him go?"

"Let him go? Why would we bother with a man who is destined to be consumed?"

A grim look flashed across the count's face.

“Follow him quietly, and when he kills Raven, you will finish him off.

If he fails, you can take advantage of the chaos to strike again."

"Hehe, I see. Just like we dealt with the previous Lord Lentini." Gures sneered.

After the red-haired young man left, the count immediately wrote a letter.

The letter denounced Raven for his rebellion, flagrant violation of Dante's laws, and murder of innocent nobles.

After writing the letter, he called one of his men and ordered him to deliver it to His Majesty immediately.

In Xuejian City, in a huge building, Bruno was doing experiments.

The experiment was very cruel, requiring the extraction of a portion of a person's soul and introduction into the Magic-Melted Titan, giving it a low-level intelligence.

After his own successful experiment, he extended the experiment to other people and it went well.

By now he has made three Demon-Melted Titans intelligent.

Of course, all of this is under his control.

Just then, his assistant brought him a letter signed by Delis.

He opened the letter and his expression changed after reading only half of it.

The letter was full of Delis's crying. She was really crying. There was not a single spot on the entire piece of paper without traces of tears, as if it had been soaked.

It accused Raven of bullying her and the baby in her belly, extorting her gold coins, and despising Bruno, and even stealing the star ring she had given him.

Bruno could feel how much injustice his disciple had suffered.

His eyes were red, and he growled:

"Raven, you dare to bully me, you are courting death!"

As he became more angry, several Demon-Melted Titans opened their eyes at the same time, emitting a fierce murderous aura.

"Hmph, it's time for the Duke's executioner to take action." After saying this, he left the mansion and flew in the direction of the Duke's Palace.

That day, Raven sat beside Caroline's bed and gently wiped her face.

Suddenly, he saw a tuft of white hair on her head. He pushed it aside with his hand and found a dense mass of hair underneath.

His heart sank.

This is clearly a sign of vitality decline.

"No, we have to go to Wina City as soon as possible and ask an archbishop to see Mom."

Thinking of this, he quickly asked Huey to arrange a carriage.

In the city of Isaac, Titus had just finished dealing with government affairs for the day and was about to take a rest when the palace steward walked in.

"Your Majesty, Earl Tangdi wrote you a letter."

"Tang Di? Didn't he go to war with Grand Duke Lennon? How come he has the time to write to me?"

Titus said as he took the letter, opened it, and his expression changed.

"Viscount Holden is dead? Killed by Raven? Wait, this Raven?"

"Your Majesty, it's the same Raven who explored Poincare with Murdosak a while ago."

"It was him? Humph, he is so brave that he dared to kill my viscount without permission. What's going on?"

"This... my subordinates don't know either."

"Go and get Beyer."

Soon, Beyer stood before Titus.

“Your Majesty, I have been following this Raven for a long time, and this matter is quite complicated.

After the Poincare mission, Raven returned to the White Tower, but was later expelled from the Tower for killing Duke Shelley's nephew.

So he returned to his fiefdom of Lentini.

This time, it was because of a territorial dispute with Horton, so the two sides had a duel, and Horton was defeated and killed. "

"He also killed Shelley's nephew?"

Titus had a strange look on his face.

This guy is so cruel and ruthless.

"If that's the case, why did Shelley let him live?"

“There are a lot of complications involved.

It is said that Faye made a deal with Bruno. Bruno temporarily persuaded Shelley, but the two set a three-year term.

Three years later, Shelley could kill him openly. "

Beyer recounted the entire incident.

As the Minister of Intelligence, these things certainly could not be hidden from him.

Titus sighed after hearing this: "The curse of the Shelley family has come true again."

"Yes, now Shelley only has a disabled son, and no offspring. I'm afraid the bloodline will end in this generation."

"In your opinion, what is the potential of this Raven?"

“If it was in the White Tower, then his upper limit would probably be the Saint level.

But now that I have been expelled, it will be much more difficult for me to grow on my own, even to the Heavenly Stage."

"What a shame. If his ceiling was high enough, I could intervene in the feud between him and Shelley."

Titus' tone was full of regret.

"By the way, I heard he's a magician?"

"Yes, but it's only at the second level at the moment."

"How far can he go on this road?"

“This is not my strong point.

But as far as I know, Master Monet thought highly of him during Poincare's trip, but considering his upper limit of strength, I'm afraid he is at most a third-level magician."

Titus' eyes lit up and he smiled:

"Level 3? That's not bad."

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do with him next?"

"Dispose? Why do you want to dispose?"

"Uh...he killed Viscount Holden."

"Isn't it a free fight?

Besides, why should I punish another promising magician for a dead man? "

After saying that, he threw the letter in his hand into the trash can.

That day, just as Raven finished meditating, there was a knock on the door.

It's Sean.

"Raven, the number of refugees we have received has increased significantly in the past two weeks. Could it be that the war on the front line is going badly?"

"how many?"

"At least five or six hundred, and the number is still increasing."

"That shouldn't be the case. If the Grand Duke had been defeated, there should have been news." Raven frowned.

"What should we do now?
These refugees started to cause trouble when they arrived, and the city's security became unsafe again."

"What about our security team? Didn't they take care of it?"

"We did, but the refugees this time were very disobedient and there were so many of them that they even dared to confront the security team."

Raven's face turned cold when he heard this.

“We can take them in, but if anyone dares to cause trouble, don’t blame me for being rude.

Tell the security team to show no mercy."

Sean shook his head. “But this is not a long-term solution. I think we should restrict refugees from entering the city, or let them go to other territories.”

"Isn't this too cruel?" Raven hesitated.

“There’s nothing we can do about it.

We can’t accept unlimited refugees, otherwise we will collapse.”

"I understand. Let's go out and take a look first."
