"Heavenly fire burns the world."

When reporters hiding several kilometers away used a long-viewing range magic mirror to record everything that happened here, both local and foreign media used the same word to describe the incident.

The red flame that fell from the sky was the wrath of Aarons Moti - although William Booker himself was not harmed, the confidants and mercenaries he brought with him had completely disappeared from the world.

"Does this mean that the Marquis of Aarons is about to declare a full-scale war on the Duke of Booker's family...Currently, neither side has made any official statement on this matter."

Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid it's impossible for the two sides to reconcile.

Even if the Duke's heir was safe, the Duke's family would not tolerate such a heavy loss. And Aarons would not allow the princess to be bound by a unilateral marriage contract, and would definitely continue to attack the Duke's family.

So, there will soon be a bigger conflict between the two sides.

"There is unconfirmed news that Duke Booker is the main sponsor of the Second Prince. So this incident may mean that the conflict between the Third Prince and the Second Prince is slowly coming to the surface."

Various speculations and debates quickly emerged, and it suddenly became the hottest topic in the empire.

However, some people also noticed a detail - even though the conflict between the Duke's family and Aarons was about to break out, the emperor never expressed any opinion.

This dispute among nobles may have some other hidden meaning.

……

"Although your majesty did achieve the purpose of holding the Battle of Honor...but that damned heir ran away."

After wiping out William Booker's cronies and the mercenaries he hired in one fell swoop, Aarons also got a rare rest time.

However, because the Duke's heir immediately left the border territory on an airship after hearing that his subordinates were wiped out, Aarons eventually lost the opportunity to eliminate the opponent in one go.

"You are well regarded by the outside world. A media outlet conducted a poll yesterday, and about 70% of the honorary nobles support you."

"Those things don't matter...I just want to slaughter that fat pig now."

"Master, although I know you want to avenge Miss Qianyun, you have missed the best opportunity now, so don't worry about it anymore."

Although he had achieved his intended goal, Aarons just couldn't be happy.

The outcome of this conflict was actually a mixed bag - Aarons did deal a heavy blow to the prestige of the Duke's family, and not only did all of William Booker's men die in the battle, but the planned evacuation was also described by outside public opinion as a runaway.

But the Duke's family did not actually suffer much substantial loss, and the engagement between the Duke's heir and Her Royal Highness the Princess was legally legitimized by the formal public announcement.

This means that Aarons, who has been secretly having an affair with the "engaged" princess, will completely lose the possibility of gaining support from all conservative nobles and related forces in the future.

"On the surface, I slapped the other person in the face, but in fact, he also punched me in the stomach... The advantage is that I will gain more support from people, but the disadvantage is that I am now completely opposed to the great nobles and the two princes."

Whether this result is a gain or a loss for me, I cannot draw an accurate conclusion at the moment.

"There will only be more trouble in the future... Sorry, you may be busy soon."

"You've started again... You don't need to apologize to us. We are your servants, so of course we have to work hard for you."

Realizing that Aarons wanted to take all the responsibility on himself again, Xia Ye immediately expressed his thoughts clearly.

"You can attribute all the reasons for your success to yourself and put all the responsibility for your failure on us. This is your right as a leader. You don't have to consider the feelings of us subordinates."

"……I can not do it."

"I think you need to start practicing this—"

However, before Xia Ye could make his suggestion, a person familiar to Aarons rushed in in a hurry.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your work, Marquis. My scouts just sent a report that the monsters in the Cadia Collins Mountains are becoming restless again."

"What? Is there another beast tide coming?"

The person who broke into the office was Gemer, the commander of the Fourth Army, who was undergoing and testing self-propelled artillery at the base these days. The news he brought startled Aarons, who had thought he could rest for a few days.

"It's unlikely that a beast tide of the scale of the last time will occur, because there are not that many monsters over there... But the problem is that we still don't know why the monsters are so panicked."

"As long as there's no beast tide, everything should be fine, right?"

Aarons breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he didn't have to experience the beast tide again. However, Gemel's next words made him nervous again.

"Because the reconnaissance team's report said that they found a lot of scattered corpses of high-level monsters deep in the mountains. So now I suspect... there may be a level 6 monster in that mountain."

"Level six...monster?!"

Even though he didn't know much about combat, Aarons knew that the level of Warcraft was actually equivalent to that of a higher level human.

Since most monsters are naturally large, their magic output is several times that of humans. If a level 3 warrior were to challenge a level 3 monster, the human would most likely lose miserably or even his life.

Only when the number of humans of the same level exceeds five times that of Warcraft will humans have a chance of winning.

"Marquis, don't worry too much. This is just my suspicion. However...if such a monster really exists and it happens to run into the border territory, only people like you can deal with it."

"A level six monster... I'll call the others to a meeting later."

If this matter had not been mentioned, Aarons would have even forgotten how many of his people had reached the sixth level of combat power.

Although this level of excess defense may not be particularly useful when dealing with humans, if the enemy is a monster, then endurance is very important.

"That's all I have to say. I'll let you know if there's any more news. If you're okay, Marquis, it would certainly be worthwhile to make some preparations in advance."

"No problem, thank you for the reminder, Commander."

"It's a small matter. I'll go and look at the artillery."

After the burly legion commander left, Aarons immediately turned his attention to Xia Ye beside him. However, the Aries beauty did not seem to have any obvious reaction at this time, as if this matter was nothing special at all.

"Xia Ye, if there really is a level six magical beast..."

"Do you think the current firepower of this base is not enough to deal with a level 6 monster? Do you want to re-inventory the resources you have?"

When Xia Ye handed over a statistical report with an expressionless face, Aarons realized how cautious he had been before.

——A special service warship equipped with a super array, dozens of mobile orbital projectile cannons that can break through ancient magic defenses, at least five high-level combat professionals who can stably deal level 5 guaranteed kill damage, and a number of ordinary fighting spirit warriors and magicians...

"My, are we already so strong now..."

"If you still feel that your firepower is insufficient, we can also find a way to further improve it."

It was not until now that Aarons finally understood that some of his previous anxieties were completely unnecessary.
