Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Bernard's last letter was never delivered to Lilith, and Lilith didn't even know that Bernard had been detained by the missing Claire.

But at this time, Lilith was still busy with the affairs of the East Territory. Although Bernard's letter was not delivered, the message from her brother in the previous life was indeed received.

Unexplained black clouds and fog appeared in the East Territory, and anyone who came into contact with them would turn into the mud monsters that existed on the Golden Ear Plains in the North Territory.

Not only that, with Linde's in-depth investigation, demons and descendants of demon gods also began to appear in the Eastern Territory. It is obvious that the demons have declared war on the Eastern Territory without warning.

Moreover, the Dorian family was in great danger. After all, Harold had died in the attempt to deliver the message. Lilith did not even have the time to mourn for her brother and quickly convened a meeting.

At the meeting, almost all the nobles fell silent after hearing the news. No one dared to ask Her Majesty the Queen where she got the news. Just by looking at Her Majesty the Queen's serious expression, one could tell that she was not joking.

The one who could not accept it the most was Monroe. Monroe knew that the demons were constantly transporting people to the East Territory, and Monroe also knew that the demons had ideas about the East Territory. But Monroe, who had already secretly defected to the demons, turned a blind eye to it. In Monroe's idea, one day the demons would use the East Territory as a springboard to conquer the kingdom, and he would at least be able to become a founding duke or something like that.

Originally, the two parties should have been in a cooperative relationship, but unexpectedly, the demons directly destroyed Monroe's house.

Everyone present looked at Monroe, and Monroe kept muttering: "Fake, all fake, even I didn't receive any news, this must be fake."

It would be fine if his house was overthrown, after all, if the demons really wanted it, Monroe would support it. But he didn't expect that these demons never mentioned this matter to Monroe at all, which made Monroe feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"Whether it's true or not, we must take action. Your Majesty, send a team of professionals to go deep into the East Territory to gather intelligence."

Judith glanced at the somewhat frantic Monroe and said, "Now we should use the king's special power and let you take over the East Territory."

This was originally a policy formulated by Augustine III to deal with the North, in order to give the capital an excuse to take over the North when the North fell into chaos.

However, this policy was aborted before it was even implemented due to the sudden death of Augustine III.

"No need to send anyone to investigate, just go straight into a war state."

Lilith shook her head and sighed. With her brother in charge of the North, there would be no problems. However, fighting on two fronts had put Capet under great pressure. Her brother's proposal to her was simple: if she couldn't win, she would run away. As long as she escaped to the North, at least her life could be guaranteed.

But Lilith did not run away directly. If she had run away, it would mean that the kingdom would completely lose its backbone. Not to mention the southwestern border, the central region might fall completely, and the capital would also be in danger. Lilith could not just abandon the people of the capital so easily.

What made Lilith even more worried was her father and brothers in this life back home. Lilith wiped her tears quietly and began to give orders in a tough manner, sending the garrison of the royal capital to the east. The entire royal capital entered a state of loose outside and tight inside, trying to cooperate with her brother to stop the demons in the east and try not to cause chaos.

On the other side, Linde also received Lilith's message. Seeing that his sister refused to run away and insisted on staying in the royal capital, Linde couldn't help but sigh that his sister had grown up and become responsible. But to be honest, this was not a trivial matter of being bullied. Linde still hoped that his sister could run directly to him like before.

The North has once again entered a wartime state, but it can be seen that most people are still very excited, and many are eager to seek revenge on the demons.

The fact that they are happy to hear about war is the biggest difference between the Northern Army and other armies of this era.

Based on Lowry's report at the time and the detailed report that followed, Linde was able to understand the demons' intentions to some extent. The territories outside Duanxue's territory were abandoned by the demons, and the demons intended to use these territories in exchange for Linde's non-intervention in the East Territory incident.

Lind got the entire North Territory, and the Demons got part of the East Territory. Except for the East Territory and Cape, both sides seemed to be able to accept this result.

Subsequent letters sent by Antipas also almost clearly stated this matter, and Antipas even proposed the idea of ​​dividing Capet.

But it was obvious that Antipas had not figured out one thing. In Linde's eyes, the land outside Duanxue Territory would be taken back sooner or later, and it had nothing to do with whether you, the demon clan, gave up or not.

And just like what Lind said to Lilith at the beginning, his minimum requirement is the entire Capet, and it is impossible for him to draw a line and rule separately with the demons.

Antipas's vision was still a little short-sighted. Perhaps the demons were used to living in the eternal frozen land and thought that others were the same as them and that they would grab any piece of territory they could.

However, we still have to take the opportunity to recover the land outside Duanxue Territory. If for no other reason, at least we have to cut off the supply of the demons to the East Territory through the land outside Duanxue Territory. Although the demons certainly have other supply routes, we still have to do it.

At the same time, in order to ensure that nothing unexpected happens to his sister, the railway leading to the royal capital, although not yet completed, is to be officially put into use. Linde directly dispatched people to prevent anyone from blowing up the railway. There is naturally no need to worry about the North, but Linde is really worried about the spy investigation and intelligence work in the royal capital.

Lind also approved White, who was in charge of the eastern border defense, to use new weapons. Although the tanks that were still being adjusted were not sent over, some new weapons in the territory could already be delivered to White for use.

The entire northern territory was like a sophisticated machine. After a short rest, it started running again.

Because Layton was active as a member of the resistance army with Isa, after the war ended, he was incorporated into White's army according to Layton's personal wishes.

At this time, Leighton was following White to inspect the new equipment that was allowed to be used.

"Alas, since the battle of Golden Harvest Plains, our northern border has become increasingly poor. Now each squad only has one musket. We applied to the governor for more weapons, but he refused, saying that everyone has few weapons now, so we should overcome the difficulties."

White grumbled as he led Leighton to the armory.

Leighton consoled him, "After all, the Governor has his own difficulties. As his subordinates, we should be more considerate and share his worries."

However, Leighton also asked: "But for a squad of ten people, isn't it too little to use one musket? Back then, our frontline fighters in the resistance army were able to use one or two muskets per person."

Leighton knew that the losses to the North in the previous battle were heavy, but he had not expected them to be this great.

"Isn't it? Well, Sergeant Leighton, let me introduce you to the musket. Although some of our soldiers have been trained, I am worried that some soldiers still don't know how to use them or use them poorly. As officers, we have to understand these weapons better than the soldiers do."

Leighton nodded. Although not everyone in the North knew how to use the musket, everyone in the army was familiar with it.

But when Leighton saw the new weapon that was approved for use, he was dumbfounded.

"Is this a musket?"

White nodded.

"You're telling me this is a musket?"

"Of course, if this isn't a musket, then what is it?"

White weighed the large cylinder covered with red, blue and white cloth and showed it to Leighton. Even with White's strength as a professional, he could still feel how heavy the cylinder was, but White didn't care at all and showed Leighton the accompanying equipment next to it.

"Look, it can even load the ammunition belt."
