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

The demons' attack on the eastern border went smoothly, even too smoothly. Wherever the black fog went, basically no one could resist. The local lords were basically either killed, fled, or surrendered.

The demons didn't even need to consider issues of governance and rebellion. After all, most of the people had turned into monsters. Moreover, these nobles in the East Territory had very low productivity and production levels, but they were extremely wealthy, and the grain in the barns was piled up to rot.

This means that the demons don't even need to worry about supply issues. The descendants of the demon god eat humans, and the ordinary demons can eat the inheritance of these nobles for a long time.

There were almost no battles among the demons in the Eastern Territory. They marched all the way, and wherever they went was the demons' new territory.

But Antipas was not very happy, because the black fog was out of his control and began to drift in all directions. Although it had little impact at present, this feeling of being out of control always made Antipas worried.

For example, the black fog is now drifting uncontrollably towards the direction of the royal capital. Although according to the original plan, the demon army would have symbolically attacked the royal capital, but now this uncontrollable black fog has subtly aroused Antipas' ambition.

It can be seen that the queen of the royal capital had made preparations in advance, but as long as the black fog arrived, under this desperate monster, the human army was still like a receding tide and was vulnerable.

The performance of the Kingdom Army made Antipas' ambition even more agitated. It turned out that the terrifying fighting spirit of the Northern Legion was just an accident. This was the performance of a normal army when encountering a wave of monsters.

Moreover, the human princess has already promised to cause chaos in the capital, leaving it no time to take care of the war in the east. Does that mean the demons have a chance to march directly to the capital?

Although according to the princess's request, the demons only need to pretend to attack the capital, and then wait for the princess to come out, and the two sides will put on a good show, and then withdraw their troops to deal with the North together, but the restless ambition is the most difficult to quell. And just as Lind thought, Antipas has stayed in the eternal frozen land for too long, and Antipas will never let go if he can get more land.

Antipas glanced at the half-crazy Altaïr beside him and said, "I will set aside a safe harbor for you, but I will need more super-level magic."

......

In the royal capital, Lilith has been busy. According to the information sent by her brother, those monsters are afraid of holy water. As long as there is enough holy water, the attacks of those monsters can be significantly curbed.

My brother has already transported the holy water over via the railway, but some parts of the railway have not been completed yet, and the battle situation is still not optimistic. Not to mention that Lilith does not have many tools to deliver the holy water, the Kingdom Army is very weak compared to the Northern Army. Their legs go weak when they see the monsters, and few of them dare to go forward to fight.

The psychological impact of those monsters was fully reflected in the Kingdom Army. Most of the Kingdom Army could only flee instinctively out of fear when they saw the monsters, and they could not use holy water even if they had it.

In addition, the strange fog was gradually approaching the direction of the royal capital, and Lilith's pressure was increasing.

Just at this time, some outrageous rumors began to spread in the royal capital, directly blaming Lilith for the deaths of Augustine III and Clan. The rumors were so convincing that even the details were gradually being improved.

Coupled with the approach of the demon army, Lilith's situation has become increasingly dangerous. Although Lilith can now be said to be extremely powerful due to the influence of the North, before Lilith has time to consolidate this power, the entire capital has begun to fall into chaos again.

"Your Majesty...the demon army has crossed Saint Covenant Castle and started to march towards the capital."

Nora reported to Lilith worriedly. Although she didn't know what the relationship between His Majesty and the North was, Nora still hoped that His Majesty could seek refuge in the North.

"Send more guards, and find someone to negotiate with the demons to see how far they will go."

"But Your Majesty, if you send more troops, the defense force of the capital may be..."

"If the demons are allowed to enter the vicinity of the capital, it won't matter how many defenses the capital has."

Nora sighed and nodded, "I understand, Your Majesty, but you must be prepared. Your safety is the most important thing."

At the same time, in the royal capital, some Augustines also received news from Claire. These Augustines were Claire's former subordinates, collaborators, and some trustworthy people.

These people are all Claire's confidants. Claire even excluded her eldest brother for fear of leaks.

Some of them have not been dismissed yet and are in charge of part of the defense of the royal palace. After all, the royal palace is someone else's home, and Lilith is not so arrogant as to ask Augustine to control the defense of her own home.

The news given to these Augustines was different from the rumors outside. Claire claimed that she had captured Lilith's eldest brother Bernard in the East, and had learned from him that the Governor of the North was actually Lilith's distant brother. Both of them were descendants of the old empire and were planning to restore the old empire and finally let the Governor of the North ascend the throne.

Regardless of its authenticity, this piece of news alone was enough to make Augustine and others lose their minds.

No wonder Her Majesty the Queen is not at all anxious about the issue of succession and has been working hard. It turns out that Her Majesty the Queen still has the claims of the old empire in her hands.

No, power must be taken back from the Queen, no matter what means are used.

What's more, the public opinion outside is overwhelming now, which is a good time to bring down Her Majesty the Queen.

As for the demons attacking, does that matter? What matters most is whether Capet is still named Augustine.

What's more, Claire also said in the message that she had a way to make the demons retreat.

In other words, as long as Claire's plan is followed, a coup is launched to overthrow Her Majesty the Queen, allowing Claire to return, and Claire then makes the demons withdraw, it will prove that only Augustine can save the kingdom.

By then, even if the rumors outside are not true, they will become true.

To put it bluntly, it only takes a moment for a person to fall from the clouds to the ground.

As for the North, Claire also said that there is a way to stabilize the North together with the demons. Augustines also feel that the relationship between the North and the queen is not that close. What Lilith can give to the North, Augustines can also give, or even more.

Doesn't the governor want to rebuild the old empire? As long as the kingdom is still named Capet, these Augustins can even give the title of the old empire orthodoxy to the North for free.

Claire's idea was even better. She could use various forces, including the demons, to strike a balance with the North, thus achieving an ending that satisfied everyone.

Although doing so would cause the kingdom's territory to shrink significantly, at least the kingdom would still be named Augustine, right?

The conspiracy has started all over again.

Of course, Bernard never revealed the family's biggest secret until the very end. Claire made up the story about Lilith and the Northern Governor's relationship, including the Northern Governor's ambitions.

But Claire doesn't know, when you say that the other party has weapons of mass destruction, what will they really do?

What should we do when it turns out that the Northern Governor is not only close to Lilith, but also has the ambition to annex the entire kingdom?
