Jiang He turned around and asked, "Whom do you plan to support?"

Si Ning said matter-of-factly, "It's definitely Brownie. There's chaos only when he's alive. With nearly ten peak Silver level warriors attacking together, he'll probably have to personally oversee the battle. This guy has no prestige whatsoever, so he won't give up this opportunity."

"Then prepare to assassinate him."

dong dong!

A slow but firm knocking sounded on the door.

Jiang He opened the door, and the castle butler led in a woman in a cloak.

“Count Rhine, it’s been a long time.” Olivia removed her hood, revealing an elegant and friendly smile. “Don’t worry, the butlers and servants here are all Red Keep spies, but I’ve already bribed them.”

"What is it?" Jiang He asked.

"Won't you invite me in for a seat?" Olivia asked with a smile.

Jiang He stepped aside, and the butler at the door bowed respectfully. This guy had long been replaced by transformation magic and evil soldiers.

Bang!

The bedroom door was tightly closed.

Olivia's face was flushed. She unbuttoned her cloak, revealing nothing underneath, her voluptuous and beautiful figure fully exposed, her curves graceful and her rosy cheeks dazzling.

She held her head high with pride and said, "Knight, tonight I belong to you, for a small price to pay."

On the bed, Lilith and Si Ning, who were playing cards, quietly watched. The latter not only activated the image technology, but also found a bucket of delicious snacks. The image technology is not just about invisibility, but its more powerful feature is that it eliminates the sense of presence.

“Oh dear, the child is growing up,” Lilith said gently.

"It would be a shame not to take a picture of this golden opportunity," Si Ning said excitedly.

The two whispered.

“I don’t have much patience,” Jiang He said calmly.

"Well, how should I put it..." Olivia's eyes were alluring, and her elegant and noble demeanor was very seductive. She smiled sweetly and said, "We first met in the bustling port, right? I noticed you then. You're different from other men, I could tell from your eyes..."

puff!

Jiang He pierced the opponent's heart with a hand chop, adding 1 member of the royal family to her list of murders. The White Rose family had only separated a few generations ago, and the number of members was small, with a total of only five targets.

As the hand was withdrawn, Olivia knelt blankly on the ground. She tried to speak, but blood gushed from her throat, and her strength and consciousness rapidly faded away.

Jiang He wiped the blood from her fingertips and said calmly, "I gave you two chances, but you don't seem to care much about your life. Perhaps you have something to say that can move me, but since it has exceeded my patience, it is meaningless no matter what."

Olivia died, and the light in her eyes faded.

Lilith lamented, "What a waste! Be kinder to yourself!"

"Jiang He, have you considered the audience's feelings?!" Si Ning was furious. They had already taken their pants off to show her this?

Jiang He remained silent, pointed to the secret letter on the table, and said, "There is only one hour left until dawn."

Lilith: "..."

Good, good, good! (claps hands)

Si Ning: "..."

You're secretly making dirty jokes, aren't you?

Because they couldn't get a close-up live performance, the card game ended badly. Lilith returned to her mental world to work on her plans, while Si Ning put on the unfinished title armor and disguised herself.

Dawn finally broke.

The Storm Leader arrived at Blackrock Castle and met Count Rhine, the legendary slayer of the demon wolf, and the masked woman in armor beside him.

"In the capital, the last person to wear a mask was Prime Minister Anor," the Storm Leader joked, finding himself quite humorous.

Jiang He sent a message to Si Ning through a friend, saying there was no need to take action now.

"This is my personal attendant. He's quite capable and should be able to help."

The Storm Leader didn't care; he wasn't in charge of this operation.

The three of them stealthily made their way to the designated forest outside the capital. Three kilometers away on the Blue River, the cannons of 42 warships of the Northern Fleet were all pointed at the capital's walls, a deterrent force that could not be ignored.

All three commanders, three counts of chaos, and two royal elders were present. The Elder with the Sword stayed behind to keep an eye on the Royal Knights, while the Marquis of Black entertained the higher-ranking nobles in case of any unforeseen events.

The commander of this operation was King de York II.

"Gentlemen, since you've come here, it means you're all pragmatic," the Second said in a deep voice. "Three second-class cruisers, thirteen third-class destroyers, and twenty-five fourth-class frigates, for a total force of over 14,000."

"Most importantly, there is the flagship, the Golden Dreadnought. As Father's flagship, it has the record of killing a peak Grand Knight with three main cannons. I think the Black Marquis Prime Minister's strategy is slightly inappropriate, so I made some temporary modifications."

"Three captains, your mission is to infiltrate the flagship, assassinate Earl Rock, and do your utmost to seize the flagship."

“Three earls, join me in attacking the destroyers and frigates, creating a disturbance and chaos.”

"Count Rhine and Elder, each of you will be assigned a cruiser. After today, I will issue an order to confer upon you the title of Protectorate Marquis and establish a new Protectorate Cabinet, which will be equivalent to the Executive Cabinet."

One instruction after another was issued.

The Black Marquis's plan in the secret letter was to launch a surprise attack on the flagship with all his forces, kill the Rock Earl, and then the Northern Fleet would naturally surrender.

Jiang He originally thought that the Second King had gone mad to change the plan, but judging from the later appearance of the Protectorate Pavilion, it was the Black Marquis's excessive skill in maneuvering that made the new king feel threatened. War is an extension of politics, and even if everyone could see that the revised plan was not as good as before, it was the only option.

The action begins.

Jiang He led Si Ning to the edge of the forest.

Fifteen minutes later, when the sunlight falls on the water, our side will officially launch the attack.

Si Ning gazed at the Blue River. Their target, the second-class cruiser HMS White Rose, was not close to the flagship. She was a little disappointed because she couldn't join the chaos of the Silver Peak Battle.

“Eight peak Silver level experts. If the worst-case scenario happens and the assassination fails, I can fight one to a draw, and I can hold off two if I fight desperately. What do you say?” Si Ning asked, turning her head.

"Such predictions are meaningless; if it fails, we'll leave."

Jiang He's eyes were focused. He was actually very envious of the Golden Dreadnought, which could be used to upgrade the Saint Lilith to a first-class battleship. However, this crucial upgrade could not be carried out in public.

The upgrade from a Tier 4 frigate to a Tier 3 destroyer is a completely different concept from the creation of a Tier 1 battleship. The latter is positioned as a flagship for top-tier warriors, with strategic significance comparable to an S-class treasure.

If the Saint Lilith were to be promoted in public, the possibility of it being promoted to a battleship would be enough to drive everyone crazy.

"I guess I'll have to stay as prime minister," Jiang He thought to himself.

A quarter of an hour passed.

The Blue Thames River glistens.

A group of top-tier knights quietly advanced, preparing to dive into the river.

Suddenly, Earl White Sail roared, completely revealing his intentions.

On the River Lamb, the gun ports of 42 warships opened simultaneously, and the Earl of the Rock stood tall against the wind on the Golden Dreadnought.

"Djork II plotted to usurp the throne."

"We will carry on the Duke's will and restore order!"

"Avoid Earl White Sail, fire all cannons!"

The fleet lined up on the river, and with a command, thousands of cannons spewed orange-red flames, billowing smoke instantly filled the air, and white gunpowder shells whistled through the air, falling like swarms of fiery meteors to the shore.

In an instant, the riverbank was engulfed in flames from the explosion, huge craters were blasted into the mudflats, the river water rose high into the air, and pebbles and water splashed everywhere.

King dejouk II roared in fury: "Count White Sail, you're asking for death!"

Chapter 312 Chaos

On the banks of the Blue Thames.

The barrage of dense shells was particularly terrifying, with smoke billowing for miles around. The main guns of the three cruisers fired pillars of fire, and the Royal Capital Commander, who was caught off guard by the White Sail Earl's sneak attack and had no time to dodge or defend himself, was immediately seriously injured.

Under such saturation attacks, all the top knights wisely chose to suppress their true forms.

At the gates of the capital, two thousand construct knights from the former Chaotic Knights appeared in formation, and two silver wizards from the Dejouk family showed up. Because the Duke had kept his young son Brownie by his side for a long time, many of his loyal followers had now turned against him.

King dejouk II looked at the crowd blocking his retreat, his expression ferocious and his teeth clenched. The elder sword-wielding man was responsible for keeping an eye on the knights, yet so many construct knights appeared here. Was it intentional or accidental? More likely, it was intentional, and they would later claim he was incompetent. They were nothing short of traitors.

"Gentlemen, I, as the King, hereby order an attack on the fleet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a royal elder decided to surrender. He was a member of the Red Rose family and had no obligation to fight to the death for the White Rose. After he stopped, the cannons clearly avoided the surrounding area.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the chaotic count who was guarding the second prince immediately increased the rewards.

"For his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, the first meritorious service shall be granted a duchy in the local area!"

The Second Prince raised his head in anger. Three colonial duchies were enough to make the noble alliance break its head in despair, and a native duchy was even more unimaginably precious. Most top-tier Grand Knights did not have such a vast foundation to support their family's legacy.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Your Majesty, the defeated have nothing."

"But……"

"No buts." Count Chaos interrupted coldly.

The Second Prince was stunned. It was as if the other party had revealed their true colors. These guys were only loyal to and revered the royal authority. As for him personally, he was not even in the eyes of the Grand Knights.

A chaotic battle erupted.

Red Rose and Storm Captain exchanged a glance, then joined forces to rush to the river and attack the Golden Dreadnought. Faced with a native duchy, neither of them could remain calm. In fact, even Mordres did not have a native duchy directly under his command.

Land represents resources that can sustain the Knights, allow them to collect materials to enhance their combat strength, breed offspring to cultivate geniuses, and ultimately evolve into power and strength that can be passed down.

The royal elders who had surrendered earlier disregarded their pride and, together with another elder, rushed towards the river, advancing toward the two cruisers.

Two disgruntled counts escorted the second prince, bypassing the main battlefield where the firepower was heaviest, and began to wait for an opportunity to attack the destroyers and frigates.

"Go ahead and regret it!"

The royal commander laughed and unleashed a sword strike, revealing the true form of a castle behind him. The violent impact dispersed the surrounding smoke. He wasn't worried about the Second Prince breaking his promise; so many equally powerful individuals were enough to switch sides and support someone else, thus deposing the king.

"You are blinded by profit and forget righteousness; you simply cannot understand our loyalty."

Earl White Sail unfurled his true form, like a soft yet resilient sail shield, shielding the sharp sword strikes. The castle, rushing towards them, seemed to lose all its power upon encountering the white sail.

Both sides were enraged and stepped forward to engage in close combat.

……

Rumble!

The artillery bombardment continued without pause.

On the River Lamps, two frigates broke apart and sank simultaneously.

In an instant, the Golden Dreadnought fired its cannons, and the extreme speed of the shells struck the Storm Commander who had leaped out of the water, shattering his true form and arm, severely injuring him.

Jiang He raced across the water, while Si Ning entered stealth mode, waiting for her chance to strike. The destroyer on the side adjusted its course, and dozens of shells came crashing down, shattering the surrounding water.

Wow!

Jiang He glided across the undulating water. The passive ability of his Overlord Blood Body made him feel as if he were walking on flat ground. With his full power, he unleashed a speed burst that surpassed all others of his level and leaped straight onto the White Rose, a second-class destroyer.

Bang bang bang!

The sailors fired white gunpowder bullets in unison. The temporary captain, an ordinary high knight, drew his sword without fear. The Northern Fleet was the hidden strength of the Chaotic Corridor. These men all believed they were fighting for the Duke.

Jiang He pulled out the Black Rose flintlock pistol.

Filled with three energies—blood poison, withering, and corrosion—and harmonized with the ever-burning embers, a four-colored energy blast was created.

Bang!

Four colors of light—bright red, pale gray, dark green, and jet black—burst forth.

One after another, illusory black roses bloomed at the muzzle of the gun.

The bullet struck the temporary captain instantly. The Black Rose special effect obliterated his soul, and the four-colored light destroyed his body. After the shot, there was no trace of his remains.

One after another, white gunpowder bullets struck Jiang He's body, but failed to cause any damage. The black flames combined with his internal energy, and as he pushed hard with both hands, a black wind swept across the entire ship.

The inextinguishable flames spread rapidly. Soldiers, engulfed in black fire, jumped into the water, but to no avail. Three black winds raged, and thousands of energy points were wasted. The embers burned continuously, completely engulfing the White Rose.

The sounds of rocks and iron breaking apart echoed one after another.

Within minutes, the main structure of the White Rose collapsed, and half of it sank into the water.

Jiang He stood by the mast and looked at the flagship. Red Rose and Storm Captain were besieging Earl Rock. With the cooperation of the ship's soldiers and the vice-captain, the two sides were temporarily at a stalemate.

From an objective standpoint, the Black Marquis's plan was clearly more suitable for dealing with the Northern Fleet. Deploying all available forces to carry out a decapitation strike would not only improve efficiency but also allow for mutual oversight among the actors, at the very least greatly reducing the probability of defection and surrender.
