Chapter 221 Ten Days Later

The Kingdom of Cohen.

King's capital.

It has been almost 10 days since the Evil God Crisis.

Various kinds of information have spread throughout the country.

This information is being transmitted to other countries and even overseas at an extremely fast speed.

And in this capital city.

In the capital of the kingdom of the witnesses of this event.

The atmosphere is no longer as depressing as it was a while ago.

Smiles appeared on the faces of the city residents again, and their worries about the future and dissatisfaction with the large-scale loss of territory began to dissipate.

"Did you hear that?"

"heard."

"You heard it too!" The woman who was speaking was a little excited as she carried a basket of vegetables.

He said happily: "News from the front line said that His Royal Highness Prince Lawrence and his army have recovered half of the lost territory.

They were acting together with… Lin Ye’s people and the church.”

"Ah? Aren't they the armies of other countries? My son works at the port and he said there are many armies of other races and a lot of elves." The woman who was chatting with her said she knew.

“No, no, when they went there, half of the territory had already been taken back by His Royal Highness the Prince.

As expected, His Royal Highness Prince Lawrence is more brave and courageous."

The woman carrying the vegetable basket said this.

The woman next to him agreed with this and nodded.

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Lawrence had previously renovated some poor people's houses there."

Not just here.

The streets and alleys of the whole city are talking about various information.

These information have been circulated through various channels, and a large part of them has lost the real information and has been filled with more imaginary information.

"The King has issued a notice!"

I don't know who was shouting.

The people around listened and ran towards the place where the notice board was.

Soon, people crowded around the notice board on a wide street.

"Don't be impatient, the food will be squeezed out of me!"

"Who's touching my butt? I'll break your hand!"

"My shoes, don't squeeze them!"

"..."

The whole area was a bit chaotic.

A guard standing next to the notice board knocked on the shield in his hand.

A man who looked like an ordinary official coughed.

Suddenly, everyone around became quieter and looked up at the man.

“People of the kingdom, be quiet.

Now let me tell you about the situation on the front line...

To sum up, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has already conquered half of the territory with his army, and the next war will be supported by more soldiers from other countries.

We also have to thank the Church of Holy Light for their efforts, and of course the Night's Watch..."

He talked on and on.

The people below would listen from time to time, and sometimes even ask questions.

Some who were making loud noises were quickly silenced by the angry stares of the crowd.

After the notice was read, the residents who received the good news cheered.

Although they had received rumors from various sources before, these had not been concretely confirmed, and they themselves could not confirm them.

Now that the palace has given an accurate answer, how can they not be happy?
Over the past year, all kinds of negative information have made their mood extremely depressed.

And in the mansions of those nobles.

It's a different situation.

There was a crackling sound coming from a luxurious room.

There were more roars coming from inside.

"Those idiots, what do they want?! What the hell are they doing!!"

The nobleman in luxurious clothing roared angrily, but no one could answer his question.

The butlers and servants around could only hide nearby, trembling with their heads lowered.

At this time, a sound was heard outside.

"Sir, Count Boudelt is here."

The nobleman, who was venting his anger, came to his senses upon hearing this and tried hard to suppress his anger.

"Take him to the living room. I'll change my clothes and come back."

Go to the living room.

A gentle-looking old nobleman was sitting on the sofa sipping tea from his cup.

"Duter, it seems you haven't had a good time these days." Count Budart said calmly after taking a sip of tea.

The nobleman known as Duterte walked over and sat on the sofa. He drank the tea in front of him in one gulp and sank into the sofa.

He took a deep breath.

"This time, we're not going to get away with it. We have to suffer so much loss to suppress the anger of others. This is unimaginable."

He became angry again when he said this, but he suppressed it in the end.

Buddelt sat opposite and watched him.

"What price do you think we'll pay?"

Duter rubbed his brow.

Thinking back to this crisis in my mind.

At its core, the crisis facing the nobles this time is that they have gotten too close to the Church of the Evil God.

During this crisis of evil gods that occurred in several cities, even aristocratic cultists appeared.

Among them were the descendants of great nobles, including his own second son.

There were even some noble knights among them.

Many people have seen it with their own eyes. Even those deformed corpses can still be identified from their appearance as which noble they once were.

The number of these nobles is not one or two, but dozens or even hundreds.

There were also various servants in these noble families.

It can be said that the crisis brought by the evil god this time is almost highly bound to the nobles.

But the most terrifying problem lies with the interest leaders of this group of nobles.

They were completely unaware of this.

Or they knew that some of their members had dealings with the Church of the Evil God, and they probably discovered that in the past year or two, these cults, which they had originally funded to carry out some shady activities, began to get out of control.

But I never thought that these cultists had so much power, and I don’t know when they really corrupted a large number of nobles and acted with them.

When this action broke out, they almost went crazy.

It’s not that they haven’t taken any action these days, but their attention has all shifted to themselves.

They didn't know until they checked, and when they did, they were almost scared to death.

A large number of cultists appeared within their various noble families.

It was normal not to take the lives of civilians seriously before.

But after some of the actions were committed, even these old nobles could not stand it anymore, and they even found a large number of traces of evil god worship in various secret rooms in their homes.

The internal cleansing caused them to waste time and their own strength.

When the chaos in the kingdom was suppressed.

These nobles who had just cleaned up the internal situation had to face a problem.

Their power seems to have been reduced a bit too much compared to the past.

Just as he was thinking.

Count Buddelt looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Those... nobles in the east are crying to me."

"Why are you crying? Didn't we tell them we don't have that much money to support them?

"And hasn't the front line already taken their territory? What they should do now is return to their own territory and do what they should do," Duterte said.

Too many things had distracted them this year, preventing them from anticipating the cultists' actions.

What distracted their attention the most were the nobles who had lost their land.

These land-losing nobles are constantly lobbying for money and connections to influence their decisions and actions.

But they couldn't just ignore it. Buddelt said, "That's the problem. They, their territory was... taken over."

"What do you mean?" Duterte frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Being able to become one of the decision-makers of the aristocratic group, he is not a fool. When he heard this, he thought of a lot of things at once.

Only nobles who own land are nobles, and that is the source of their power.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the Church of Holy Light, and that Night's Watch. After they recaptured the kingdom's territory, they promoted several officials from among the civilians to begin handling the territory's affairs.

After returning to their territories, some nobles found that they had lost their power and even their many properties..."

Buddelt, speaking in detail.

Duterte frowned after hearing this: "Now, now we have no other options. If you want us to gather some troops to put pressure on them, forget it.

Let's discuss this matter again after we have taken back all the territories. It's not that serious and we can take it slowly.

If Lawrence wants to be king, he needs our support. If he dares to do such a thing, the entire aristocracy will become his enemy.

He couldn't be king then.

As for the Church of Holy Light, they have their own rules, and the Cathedral will never allow them to actually occupy the land, not even His Majesty the King would allow it."

As for the night watchmen and the like, he ignored them.

In his opinion, it was just a means for the fugitive earl in the eastern wilderness to interfere with power.

The two discussed for a long time.

Boudelt left.

And the son he brought with him was waiting outside.

The two of them rode in a carriage.

"Father, how did the discussion go?" asked his son.

Budelt took a deep breath, then turned to look at his eldest son.

His son is gifted, smart, insightful, and has a talent for magic.

It can be said that in his eyes, he was already a relatively perfect heir, especially compared with other noble heirs during this period.

Having already suffered the hardships brought by the evil god and the vampires, his descendants will not fall into the arms of the evil god.

Sighed slightly.

He said, "Duarte is old. He underestimated the trouble caused by the nobles this time. He doesn't fully understand the power of the world, and he also underestimated the Holy Light Church's crackdown on the cultists.

The Church of Holy Light has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and our Third Prince is no cowardly sheep. The ambition in his eyes cannot be hidden at all.

As for the strange Night's Watch, I have read their intelligence and I have also obtained more information from other places.

This is not an insignificant little organization at all. They are more active than the Church of Holy Light and don't even have shackles.

His Majesty the King has acquiesced to these things, and our Third Prince is also aware of them.

The aristocracy of this country is finished.”

Finally, Boudelt gave his conclusion.

Hearing this conclusion, his son beside him couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Father, are you thinking too seriously?"

"No," Buddelt shook his head. "It's not serious at all."

Buddelt has always had some intelligence channels of his own, and he can be considered to be relatively well-informed.

During this period, he also communicated intensively with various aristocratic forces and even secretly visited those businessmen.

If the people from the Holy Light Church hadn't been so stubborn, he would have been able to obtain more information to help him make a judgment.

He had already seen that those merchants had secretly sided with the king.

Lawrence's performance on the front line was outstanding.

But those damn idiots killed the second prince and the fourth prince. There is nothing more stupid than this.

Whenever he thought of this incident, he felt dizzy and extremely stupid.

All the supporters behind them chose to support Lawrence.

Now, in his view, Lawrence was bound to become king.

He was already trying to figure out what the new king wanted to do, and the more he tried, the more anxious he became.

When the Night's Watch and the Church of the Holy Light began to control the conquered territories, his heart sank completely.

He also recently discovered that the Holy Light Church has been acting unusually frequently throughout the capital and even in various territories.

The powerful Lady Vionasa, who made him kneel down, is still staying in the church in the royal capital.

"Let me ask you, have you ever been to see the big tavern that's being built recently?"

Hearing his father's sudden and inexplicable question, his son looked up at him before nodding.

“I went to see it, and it was really big, and there were dwarves, just like they advertised.

I hope it has some uniqueness, otherwise it will be too boring.”

Buddelt himself actually went to see it secretly.

He saw the dwarves, whom he knew were the Night's Watch. He also saw many paladins of the Church of Holy Light drinking in a tavern that had not yet been built.

These messages are intertwined.

Buddelt only felt his whole body numb and his pores tingling.

"Gabe, take your brothers and sisters and try to get in touch with the Church of Holy Light. If that doesn't work, just hang out at that tavern more often.

It would be great to learn about the Night's Watch and if you could join it, that would be great."

Hear this.

Gabe was slightly stunned, and beads of sweat fell on his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Budelt looked at his son and asked in confusion.

"No, no father."

When the carriage stopped.

Not long after, Gabe left his home again.

He walked down the street openly and entered a large tavern that had not yet been fully repaired and was open to the public.

If it were the past.

He had to sneak around from the back and enter the tavern through the back door of the alley.

Looking at Gabe who walked in through the main entrance.

The night watch dwarf who was cleaning and storing various drinks at the bar was stunned for a moment.

"Why did you come in through the main entrance? Won't you be discovered?"

Gabe waved his hand and sat at the bar, "I don't have to hide this time."

Then he opened the interface.

Look at the chat channel inside.

The most recently collected information is sent out through the interface.

That’s right, the descendant of this great nobleman had already been a member of the Night’s Watch.

He had been sent to the army for training, but he was unlucky because the training happened to be last year.

Due to a coincidence and bad luck, I almost died there.

As a result, he was rescued by the team led by Eichard at that time and retreated towards the city of Vitra.

Finally, he reunited with Kana and the Saint of the Holy Light Church.

When they parted ways, he naturally could not voluntarily join Kana's side, so he returned with the Holy Light Church team.

But at that time, he was already connected to the Night's Watch.

Karna noticed him at that time.

But at that time I just communicated with him more and did not bring him into the Night Watch.

This time, Kana headed straight for the royal capital.

After arriving in the royal capital, he quickly got in touch with Gabe and brought him into the Night Watch.

The reason why Kana trusts this nobleman named Gabu more is.

This is mainly because he also had his own highlights in previous plots.

For example, one can awaken the holy light on his own and become a light bather.

Then, he died fighting in the evil god incident in the Kingdom of Cohen.

"Is the Holy Light Church's action about to begin?" Gabe thought for a moment and asked.

The dwarf at the bar heard this and looked at Gabe and said directly, "Don't worry, your family is not on the list of insider information.

This is thanks to your family's education, which seems pretty good."

Hearing this, Gabe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"Of course. Our family is a rare one, with no one involved in the evil god's actions."

And at this time on the interface.

Information about the Holy Light Church's actions has been released.
