Chapter 809 I Did Do These Things, I Can’t Refute It

time flies.

Three days have passed since the Duke of Southern Territory issued a recruitment order with the intention of conquering the territory of the fourth prince.

In the past three days, the situation in the south has been changing.

All nobles received first-hand information.

Whether it is a baron, a viscount, a count, or the few supernatural masters who own a four-star supernatural land, they are all paying attention to the situation in the border town.

They found that there was no movement at all in the territory where the fourth prince was located. It was as if no news had been received. Everything seemed so calm, with no panic, no running away, and no chaos.

This made the entire aristocratic forces in the southern region puzzled.

From their point of view, it was not surprising that the fourth prince was explaining, looking for reinforcements, or simply surrendering, but he did nothing, which made them feel very strange.

Those are the eight largest supernatural places in the South.

These eight nobles possess two-thirds of the power of the Southern Territory. Together, they are enough to sweep across the entire Southern Territory.

Even if they didn't show up in full force, it was still not something that the fourth prince could contend with.

Not to mention the fourth prince, even the eldest prince and the second prince are here. With their current appeal, they cannot organize a team that can fight against them.

Among the current royal heirs, there is probably only one third princess who can barely match her.

Fourth Prince, why do you dare to remain indifferent?

Loud discussions resounded in various fiefdoms in the southern border.

"I said, are you trying to complicate things?" A viscount shouted loudly: "It's not like everyone doesn't know the virtues of the fourth prince. Even if he hides something, aren't the ridiculous things he has done true? ? In my opinion, the fourth prince is still the unbearable person who cannot hold up the wall with mud. There is no movement now, but he has just given up resistance."

The remarks quickly spread like wildfire.

It attracted the support of many ghosts.

"I think so."

"It's true. The fourth prince has a notorious reputation, is extravagant, and is violent and murderous. If he comes to power, he will definitely be a tyrant who can be punished by everyone. The Duke has seen this, so he sent troops in advance to defend the royal family. Save some reputation."

"It turns out that the fourth prince is not sure about his governance and development level, but about his status as a prince. Think about it, even if the Duke steps down on his territory, he is still a prince, and the Duke can't Hurting him is what makes him confident."

"What a piece of trash. He is fine, but what he did will lead to the destruction of the border town and the death of hundreds of innocent ghosts. Such a person is not worthy of being a prince at all."

"Well done, Your Excellency, the Duke. Such a person should go back to the royal city. He should not be allowed to stay in the southern border to cause harm to the people here."

In silence.

The denunciation grew louder and louder.

In the southern region, there was a wave of resistance against the fourth prince.

It seems that the fourth prince is a great villain who preys on the common people, but they are all righteous people.

Some people even shouted slogans.

"Justice will eventually defeat evil!"

"The evil dragon will eventually be slain by the brave!"

…

A border town.

Snapped.

Ghost Clerk Kali Till slapped a newspaper in front of Shen Jian's desk and said angrily: "Your Highness, there must be someone who is adding fuel to the flames, otherwise public opinion would never develop so fast. We must counterattack, otherwise we The reputation is really bad.”

She could tell at a glance that this was definitely related to the Duke of Southern Territory.

Without the promise of Duke Elk, newspapers, which can be called a weapon of public opinion, would never have spread throughout the southern border in just a few days. There is no doubt that this is to build momentum.

This is the public opinion effect specially created by Duke Elk in order to become famous.

The purpose is to portray the fourth prince as a villain.

In this way, the pressure will not be too great when recruiting.

Shen Jian glanced at it.

The body seemed a little tight.

Sit up straight.

After Kali Tier walked in, he subconsciously leaned his body against the table, so that unless someone stretched his neck and looked down, he would not be able to see anything unusual.

Do it all.

Shen Jiancai took a breath and said, "Don't pay attention to the child's tricks."

"Ignore it? Your Highness, you are confused."

The ghost secretary was stunned for a moment, and then his voice became louder.

Like an angry swan, holding its head high.

She put her hands on the table, leaned forward in the direction of Shen Jian, and bit her lips: "Your Highness, don't underestimate this reputation. It is very important when you rise up, especially if you want to unify the Southern Territory, reputation is important. It cannot be too bad, otherwise no nobles will be willing to surrender, and the people under your rule will not trust you, making governance more difficult."

This sudden scene shocked Shen Jian.

Fortunately, the angry noble lady didn't seem to notice anything.

Just wrinkled his nose.

It seems to smell something special.

But for a while, I couldn't figure out what it was.

Then he returned his gaze to Shen Jianjian, his blue eyes full of anger.

Shen Jian's eyes were strange.

Looking at the series of questions listed in the newspaper, as well as the words "evil man", "evil dragon", "brave man", etc., he thought about it and casually said: "Do you think the above content is wrong?"

"I did break into Count Aynault's house, and I did kill a group of his men, dismembered one of his hands and one of his legs, and also bought and sold him by force, coerced and induced him to give the ghost craftsman to me. The one above The content is correct, it’s correct, what should I refute?”

Ghost Scribe Kali Till:...

She was stunned for a moment.

Then I can't fix it anymore.

no.

You are too arrogant.

Even if you are a really evil person, you can't be described like this.

"What about this? Count Aino said that you coveted his wife's appearance and couldn't take it by force. Then he got angry and poisoned and killed someone. This is not true at all. Your Highness, you just let him frame you?"

Kali Tire pointed at the words of Count Aino crying in the newspaper. He was so angry that he wanted to bite him to death.

He dared to use the unsubstantiated matter to frame the fourth prince.

Shen Jian was silent for a moment.

His eyes glanced at the white meat under the table without leaving any trace.

Before, this coveting was just an unfounded crime, but now...it seems that it can't be cleared away.

But then I thought about it, and it seemed that the other things the fourth prince had done were not much better, and one more thing would not hurt at all.

Thinking.

Shen Jian withdrew his gaze.

From time to time, his eyebrows frowned slightly for special reasons: "History has always been rewritten by the victors. No matter how big the trouble they make, as long as they lose, everything will stop. As for the resistance caused by poor reputation... Haha, the truth can only be grasped by Within guns, we win, and we have the final say in everything.”

"Calculating the time, it's time for the recruitment team to arrive. How is the arrangement of our personnel here?"

Seeing that Shen Jian's mentality was not affected, Kali Tier also adjusted his emotions, and then said coldly: "Your Highness, after working hard for the past three days, the master craftsmen have forged five hundred flintlock guns. This The number has far exceeded the total population of the border town, so we found more than two hundred civilians in the town next door, all at the red-coat level and below."

"And there is no need to worry that they will rebel. I have planted a supernatural curse on them. Once the weapon is released for more than two minutes, or a key word is spoken, the supernatural curse will explode instantly, causing him to self-destruct directly, destroying everything. .”

"Currently, five hundred ghost gunmen are ready at any time."

Shen Jian nodded slightly.

With five hundred flintlock guns and a large amount of special bullets, even if the terror level of these ghosts is at or below the red-coat level, they can still crush an army of 4,000 evil ghosts.

Not to mention four thousand, even an army of ten thousand, as long as they can't get close, the military strength of the border town can crush and sweep them away.

"Get these people ready, it's time to fire the first shots of the armed forces."

Kali Till nodded.

With a little excitement and the hope of changing the situation in the kingdom, he walked out briskly.

It was just after she left.

What she didn't notice was that there was another person in Shen Jian's study.

It's the Countess.

She was hiding under Shen Jian's desk.

With a pair of spring eyes, he squatted under the desk and looked down at Shen Jian.

The red lips opened again.

…

This day.

The huge recruitment team finally headed to the border town amid the denunciation.

There are more than four thousand in number.

At the front of the team was a group of elite knights headed by the Ghost King.

They were wearing the finest armor and had the emblems of various noble families on their chests.

The terrifying aura on his body is that of a ghost king at the lowest level.

Marquis Langya played with his raised beard and looked at this elite division with great satisfaction.

He is one of the only two Marquises in the South, a genuine ghost and god, and an ally of Duke Elk.

He was the one who took the lead in recruiting the Fourth Prince's territory this time.

I took a few glances.

He looked away.

Ordered to set off.

There was no encouragement, no rest, and no mobilization.

Because it's not needed.

To conquer a three-star supernatural place with enough power to sweep across the southern border is just like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes, not to mention that there is a ghost like him leading the team.

This expedition is undoubtedly a show.

It was a warning to the fourth prince not to extend his hands to the nobles' territory, let alone try to usurp the interests of the nobles, otherwise there would be a counterattack from the south.

Of course, there may be some intention to interfere in the trial of fighting for the king and test the royal family's thoughts.

To this.

He was equally excited.

the other side.

Behind the elite knights were thousands of red-clad ghosts.

Among them, there are eight players mixed in.

Except for the Chinese man with the ID [Fang Xiu] who was unable to go on the expedition due to other reasons, the eight Western ghost masters who descended on the southern border have all followed, with obvious excitement on their faces as they followed the team.

They knew they were in the right place.

If such an army of evil spirits launches an attack, everything in its path will be torn apart.

What they should consider right now is not the danger, but how to kill two more people and make the Marquis of Ghosts and Gods who are traveling with them notice them.

Just thinking about it.

The procession stopped.

The eight Western Ghost Riders looked up.

Not far away, the outline of a border town was looming.

They were shocked.

Knowing that this is the territory of the fourth prince is also the beginning of their achievements.
