Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 227 The Silver Frost Principality’s marriage plan!
Cohen was listening with great interest. Roman's sudden pause puzzled him and he asked:
"I was just listening to what the king liked. Why did you stop? Keep going."

Roman hesitated, glanced at Windsardler, and fell into deep hesitation.

But under Cohen's scorching gaze, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue speaking, but in a very low voice:

"I heard... I heard... I heard that His Majesty is better... Well, so some military leaders in Froststar City are discussing whether to send a few beautiful women to His Majesty. It would be even better if they could use this to arrange a marriage with Effiin."

General Roman finished speaking and immediately added:
"Your Majesty, these are just rumors I heard at the dinner table. I never thought about it that way."

Cohen's face suddenly darkened. Before he could speak, Windsardler beside him let out a chilling laugh:
“That’s really thoughtful!
If you think of sending women away when the country is in trouble, then why does the country still support you men?

Roman immediately dropped his head and said nothing.

Cohen was also extremely indignant. Who spread these rumors? They had ulterior motives.

If this gets to Adele's ears, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in bed for several days.

Cohen coughed lightly, concealing his emotions, and said in a deep voice:
“That’s all for now.

General Roman, I am very interested in the secret meeting of junior officers you just mentioned. Could you tell me more about it?

Roman breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out his thoughts, and said:
"As far as I know, this secret gathering has an official name, called the Dawn Society.

It is composed of a group of young lower-level officers from poor peasants and workers, from different units and positions.

Previously, members only exchanged simple letters with each other. It was not until the recent corruption case of Viscount Claude, the Chief of the Army, broke out that a stable officer organization was gradually formed.

After Viscount Claude was reinstated and the leading officers executed, the Dawn Society's influence grew even stronger. Even the Special Warfare Division, whose members were mostly descendants of aristocrats and wealthy businessmen, saw a number of officers join it.

Cohen's eyes moved slightly, and he asked with a smile:

"General Roman knows so much about the Dawn Society, doesn't he?"

Roman nodded seriously.
"I also come from a poor peasant family in a remote town, and I'm one of the few officers who can get in touch with the upper echelons of the military. The Dawn Society once sent me an invitation letter to join.

It's just that I didn't join, I just learned about it from the side.

I suspect that the Dawn Society is backed by some powerful military figures, whose sole purpose is to bring down Viscount Claude."

Cohen asked:

"With your status and identity, if you join the Dawn Society, will you be able to meet this military leader behind the scenes?"

After a brief thought, Roman gave a positive answer:
"If I make this request, I should be able to see it."

Cohen's eyes showed a deep meaning, and he asked:

"General Roman graduated from the Army Officer Academy. Are there many alumni of your time or later years who have found employment in the military?"

Roman quickly replied:

“Most of them serve in the military.”

“How many are in the field army, and how many are in the capital’s military circle?”

"Seventy percent are in military districts across the country, and 30% are in the capital's military circle."

Cohen had a plan in mind and continued to ask:
“Among your alumni, who holds key positions?
Preferably one with access to military intelligence and communications.

Also, among the senior military officers with whom you have a good relationship, are there any who have direct access to Grand Duke Silver Frost and the Army Chief of Staff?"

Roman's pupils suddenly shrank and his face trembled slightly.

Years of military experience gave him an almost instinctive intuition about Cohen's question. Three words popped out of his mind reflexively, and then it seemed to be rooted in his brain, lingering -

The inferior overcomes the superior!
Roman felt an inexplicable surge of blood and a slight tremor of nervous fear throughout his body. He forced himself to remain calm, lowered his voice, and replied:
"I graduated from the 13th class of the Army Academy, and two of my classmates had the same rank of colonel as me.

One of them is the commander of the 9rd Special Operations Regiment of the Special Operations Department, and the other is the commander of the th Regiment of the Capital Police Department.

There is also a senior who is from the same hometown as me. He is currently the assistant director of the Silver Frost Central Intelligence Agency with the rank of colonel and has indirect access to a large amount of military intelligence.

I have a good relationship with several senior military officers, including Lieutenant General Jose, Deputy Commander of the Chief Police Department, Lieutenant General Chambers, Quartermaster General of the Ministry of National Defense, and Major General Bellon, Director of the Operations Department of the Army General Staff Headquarters.

Among these people, Commander Jose has direct access to Viscount Claude, the Chief of the Army. Commander Jose is also my superior who has always promoted and cared about me throughout my growth. He is also a close business partner of Mr. Julian!

Cohen's eyes flickered. This Commander Jose should be the connection that Julian had made for Roman!

Unconsciously, the atmosphere in the box had become extremely solemn and stagnant.

General Roman was already a sixth-level peak transcendent. Logically, he should have been immune to cold and heat, but due to inexplicable nervousness and excitement, sweat kept oozing from his back, and he couldn't help but unbutton his collar.

A strong feeling of hunger and thirst surged uncontrollably from the bottom of my heart, it was the ultimate desire for power and glory!
Cohen's voice was like a clear spring in summer, bringing a sense of coolness to General Roman:

"What level of cultivation is Viscount Claude, the Chief of the Army General Staff, a transcendent being?"

General Roman said in a hoarse voice:

"He's only reached level five thanks to a massive amount of resources, and he has no actual combat experience. I can beat ten of them with one hand!"

"Where is Grand Duke Yinshuang?"

"Like me, peak level six, but he has a Legendary who secretly protects his safety. He is also the only human Legendary Transcendent in the Silver Frost Principality."

The other is the guardian beast of the Silver Frost Principality, the legendary Ice Phoenix.

"Based on the intelligence I've gathered in Froststar City, the people Grand Duke Silverfrost trusts most right now are probably Viscount Claude, Chief of the Army General Staff, and Prime Minister Faria."

Roman nodded immediately.

Cohen's voice was full of magnetism, as if it came from the abyss of hell, with a devilish allure:

"General Roman, I have a plan of action. I wonder if you are interested?"

Roman's eyes widened, staring at Cohen intently.

Cohen's lips moved slightly, and he slowly said:
"The code name of the plan is - insect extermination and sun shooting!"

……

After seeing off General Roman, Cohen's eyes showed an eager look.

There is nothing more exciting than overthrowing a country's regime with your own hands.

Windsardler looked at Roman's receding figure and asked doubtfully:
"Can it be done with just a few young officers?"

Cohen's voice was filled with unquestionable firmness:
“As long as you have the right strategy and take the enemy by surprise, you can succeed.

The heart of a country is not as indestructible as imagined. No matter how strong the door is, the key is in the hands of the people! "

After seeing off General Roman, Cohen began the preliminary preparations.

He first contacted Adair and asked her to arrange for someone to send the demon Akdimon to the Silver Frost Principality as soon as possible. Akdimon, who could invade the human mind and replace the original with the real, was the most critical part of the whole plan.

He then arranged for Julian, the newly appointed station chief of Quesaon Station, to begin spreading the news in the Kingdom of Ceylon.

It was claimed that a 2,000-man orc army of Aifein had entered a state of combat readiness, targeting the Principality of Silver Frost, and was negotiating with the Western Region Empire about borrowing a passage, preparing to bypass the Kingdom of Ceylon from the Western Region Empire and head straight to the north of Silver Frost.

Finally, he had to act seriously. He directly ordered Marshal Arnold to send out a legion of 2,000 orcs to march towards the border between Effiin and the Western Empire. At the same time, he asked the queen to send an envoy to the Western Empire.

After receiving this series of inexplicable instructions from Cohen, Yadel vaguely felt that Cohen was preparing to make some big move in the Silver Frost Principality.

Worried about his personal safety, he simply opened the communication array, and a graceful figure appeared in front of Cohen and Windsardler.

Adele asked Cohen:
"I don't know what you're planning to do, but the Silver Frost Principality has been established for over five hundred years. Its military structure, supernatural sequence, and government agencies are all very complete and cannot be destroyed so easily.

We should simply wait until the Western Region Empire submits a proposal to legally dispatch troops before we take action against Silver Frost and Holy Oak."

Cohen replied:

"Sister, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and I guarantee I can take down Yin Shuang without bloodshed.

Oh, and inform Uncle Hauge to come here with Akdimon."

Adele asked:
"Is one Legendary level enough, Uncle Wang?"

Cohen's expression froze slightly. He looked at Adair's burning gaze and lowered his voice.

"I plan to contact the Golden Wing Family and ask them to send a high-level Legendary rank to assist me."

Adele was surprisingly not angry, but instead breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Is that Mr. Mordor?
With him and Uncle Wang, your safety will be no problem. Well, without further ado, just be careful in Yinshuang.

Windsor, help me take good care of him!"

After saying this, he disappeared above the formation.

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief and contacted Isabella again, asking Mr. Modor to rush to the Silver Frost Principality.

After doing all this, it all depends on how General Roman performs.

The three most important people in the entire action plan are Lieutenant General Jose, Deputy Commander of the Capital Garrison Command, who has direct access to the Army Chief of Staff; one is the mysterious military boss of the Dawn Society who controls a large number of grassroots officers; and the other is the Assistant Director of the CIA, Roman's old senior.

Roman acted extremely quickly. Within two days, he sent a message to Cohen that General Jose wanted to meet him in person!
……

The Frost Star Veterans Club is located in the center of Frost Star City and is built in a magnificent, noble and luxurious manner.

Rumor has it that it was personally invested and built by Baron Singh, a top tycoon from the Kingdom of Ceylon, and even the second prince of Ceylon, His Royal Highness Charles, was behind it.

Therefore, even though its scale and luxury were no less than that of the Grand Duke's Palace next to it, no one in the Silver Frost Principality dared to criticize it.

In the secret box on the top floor of the club, Cohen and Windsordler sat on the sofa waiting for someone to come.

Soon, two steady footsteps sounded from the corridor outside the door, followed by General Roman's voice:
"Lord Yann, Commander Jose is here."

"Please come in."

Roman led a middle-aged general in front and walked into the reception room with a serious expression.

As soon as Jose entered the room, he was unexpectedly shocked by Cohen's youth and Windsordale's beauty. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked back and forth at Cohen, and asked directly:

“Are you Baron Singer’s lord?

I heard that Mr. Julian Singh has been working for His Royal Highness Charles, the second prince of the Kingdom of Ceylon. You are not going to tell me that you are His Royal Highness Charles.

Cohen took a sip of tea and replied calmly:
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is whether General Jose wants to become the future Chief of the Army Staff of this country!"

Jose's face was very serious, and he asked:
"Roman told me the same thing. He's still young, but of course, I don't mean to look down on young people.

The King and Queen of Effiin have proven to everyone that there are tough guys among the young. I mean, I'm not as easy to fool as Roman. I've served this country for most of my life and I don't want to be accused of treason at the last moment!

Cohen's voice was mysterious and low:
“Failure would be treason, success would be revolution.

And we will succeed!"

Jose said nothing, his eyes grim and full of pressure, but Cohen remained calm and unperturbed, ignoring it all. He spoke in his ear, word by word,
"Two legendary high-level transcendents!"

Jose's breathing suddenly stopped.

Legendary level!
And they are all high-level!
The two great saint wars that took place in Florence were just coincidences after all. Under normal circumstances on the human continent, legendary rank was actually extremely rare and rarely appeared.

Only one in ten humans can advance to the extraordinary level, and even fewer can cultivate all the way to the golden level.

And there may not be even one out of a hundred who can successfully break through from the ninth level to the legendary level.

More than 90% of the legendary powerhouses on the human continent have accumulated over a long period of time.

Because once humans break through to the legendary level, they can theoretically achieve immortality.

A small country like Yinshuang, which has been established for hundreds of years, has no accumulated foundation. The entire national government has only two legendary extraordinary people, one of whom is an ice phoenix that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Therefore, when Jose heard that two high-level legendary transcendents were going to stand on his side, one can imagine the shock and surprise in his heart.

Cohen's voice continued to ring in his ears:

“Once this is accomplished, the position of Chief of the Army General Staff will be yours.

If you're willing to continue the discussion, please take a seat. If you still have concerns, I won't force you."

Jose narrowed his eyes slightly. Won’t you force me?
Then why has the aura of the golden elf beside you been firmly locked onto me since I came in?
Things are made secret, and words are leaked.

When he stepped into this room, he actually didn't have many choices.

The golden elves...

Young nobleman...

At once, two legendary high-level transcendents...

Jose's eyes suddenly widened, and a flash of lightning flashed through his mind. When he looked at Cohen again, there was a feeling of earthquake in his pupils.

Lord Yann?

Adele, Cohen!
The other party's identity is self-evident!

The Silver Frost Principality's current number one enemy, the continent's hottest rising star, King Corleone of Effiin!

A biting chill suddenly covered Jose's back. Facing this young king who could even kill a saint, Jose felt only fear and shock in his heart.

He quickly turned around to glance at Roman behind him. The latter had a very serious expression on his face and his eyes were very cold. It was obvious that he had known the other party's identity for a long time!

Then what are you doing?
Conspiring with the king of the enemy country to launch a coup against your own master?
This is a complete betrayal of one's own country!

Cohen was not surprised to see Jose see through his identity. He seemed to see the tangle in Jose's heart and said with a chuckle:

"General Jose, a coup d'état itself is treason. Does it matter who planned it?

Why deceive yourself?

If there is any difference, the only difference is that the probability of a successful coup will be greater if you plan with me!

This king has unlimited backup power!"

Jose couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yes, the other party has unlimited backup capabilities.

Even if I go out and report him now, what will happen?
During the Florence turmoil, the two empires joined forces, and so many saints and legends were unable to capture Cohen. How could he rely on his own small Silver Frost Principality?

Do not make jokes!
He was certain that the reason the other party was secretly instigating a coup instead of directly sending troops to attack openly was simply because they were concerned about the impact on international public opinion.

If they are really provoked, the military strength of the Silver Frost Principality will not be able to withstand a charge from the Orc Legion.

Do you want to be a general who died a heroic death for your country or the high and mighty Chief of the Army General Staff?

This kind of multiple-choice question is very easy to answer.

Jose lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice:

"As you wish, Your Majesty Corleone, you must promise me that you will not attack the civilians of the Silver Frost Principality!"

Cohen clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

"What a good soldier who serves his country and his people!
The gods bear witness that from now on, the citizens of Yinshuang will also be the people of Aifeiyin. As a king, I will certainly not attack my own people!

Mr. Future Chief of Staff of the Silver Frost Army, I, Corleone, will never break my promise!

Jose's face showed a complicated expression, but this feeling was quickly overwhelmed by the beautiful picture promised by Cohen.

Army Chief of Staff!

That's the position I dream of!
He was only born into a minor noble family, and he had already exhausted all his connections and resources to be able to sit in the position of Deputy Commander of the Chief Police Department. Not to mention the Chief of the Army General Staff, even wanting to be promoted to the position of Commander of the Chief Police Department would be impossible in this lifetime.

Since the country won’t give it to us, we have no choice but to rob it ourselves!

After all, he has been in the military for half his life and has strong military habits.

Once he made the decision, Jose stopped hesitating and immediately changed sides. He began to seriously plan his future with Cohen and Roman and threw himself into the vigorous rebellion.

Cohen said calmly:

“We must unite all forces that can be united.

For example, there are a large number of grassroots soldiers and middle and lower-level officers who are dissatisfied with the current system, and these people are controlled by an organization called the Dawn Society.

General Jose must have heard of this. Does the General know who is the organizer of the Dawn Society?"

Jose shook his head:

"I don't know his exact identity. But according to my analysis, this person should be in the core circle of the military. I speculate that he is most likely the commander of a certain war zone.

Because a lot of evidence about the Army Chief of Staff, Viscount Claude, embezzling field army funds was first disclosed by the Dawn Society.

Anyone who can do this must have deep roots and intelligence sources in the military and major war zones; otherwise, they wouldn't have any access to much information."

Cohen asked:

"What do you think our chances of winning this person over are?"

Jose replied with a firm look:
"The probability is extremely high, and I believe that even if we don't actively try to win him over, the person behind the scenes will inevitably do something.

Because since Claude was reinstated, he has stepped up the investigation and liquidation of the organizers behind the Dawn Society.

The officers who were executed for leading the riot were the backbone of the Dawn Society.

In fact, the circle of people who have the power to access evidence of Viscount Claude's corruption is very small. Claude will probably find out his true identity in a short time, so he should be more anxious than us now.

His recent efforts to win over generals of civilian origin are a testament to this; Roman has received more than one invitation from the Dawn Society.

After hearing Lieutenant General Jose's analysis, Cohen felt more confident and looked at Roman:
"This task is now handed over to you. Try to get this person behind the scenes out as soon as possible.

As long as we can gain the other party's trust and cooperation, our chances of success will be even greater!"

Roman nodded firmly:

"I will reply to Your Majesty within three days!"

……

At the headquarters of the First Special Operations Regiment under the Special Operations Department, Roman brought a letter that he had hidden for a long time, called his adjutant, and the two of them took advantage of the night and walked towards the remote mountainous area.

Following the instructions in the letter, we walked through a hidden path and arrived at an abandoned camp.

As soon as the two men reached the center of the camp, a group of soldiers with unfamiliar faces suddenly swarmed around them.

The soldiers were all wearing ordinary combat uniforms, and it was impossible to tell which army or region they belonged to.

Facing the crowd, Roman's face was as calm as a lake, and he said coldly:
"I want to see your leader."

Not long after, a young and handsome officer walked out of the shabby tent.

Roman knew this person. He was a staff officer in the Special Warfare Department's Operations Room. He didn't expect that the other party was also a member of the Dawn Society.

I guess he was the one who reported my situation to the top management of the Dawn Club, and the invitation letter should have been sent to me by them.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Roman took the initiative to speak:

"I've met you, Staff Officer Maker in the Special Warfare Division's operations room, correct?"

Staff Officer Meck smiled gently and said:

"General Roman has a great memory. Yes, I'm Maker. It's an honor to meet you here, General!"

Mek saluted Roman solemnly, a look of heartfelt respect on his face. He then waved to the unfamiliar soldier beside him and said,

“General Roman, like us, comes from a poor background.

When General Roman was in office, he promoted and made use of many of our comrades from the same background as us, and he cared deeply about the lives of our brothers at the grassroots level. He was our brother and comrade.

You all go down, I want to talk to the general alone."

The soldiers saluted and left in an orderly manner.

Roman also signaled his adjutant to step aside temporarily.

In the blink of an eye, only two people were left in the huge camp.

Staff Officer Meck's expression became noticeably more relaxed, and he said with a smile:

"General Roman, I knew you would agree with our ideas and beliefs and choose to join us!"

Roman stared at Staff Officer Meck for a while and said in a deep voice:
“I can join, but I want to make sure that I will not become a tool or victim of some ambitious person.

I must see the true organizer of the Dawn Society with my own eyes!"
