Chapter 332
That's all.
If Rand and Grand Duke Thorns stood up and shouted at the beginning of the war, they could win over many nobles.
In this way, the neutral faction can theoretically suppress the royal city faction and the queen faction.
But now, now that both sides have already put on a stance to start a fight.
The strength of the neutral faction is not as good as any faction in the Royal City Sect or the Queen Sect.
Because many nobles who may have joined the neutral sect have been swept into the royal city sect or the queen sect.
Of course, this is still just paper military strength and strength.
It's really going to fight.
Rand's words as commander.
Rand's reputation will also play a big role.
The Royal City Sect and the Queen Sect both sent letters to the Grand Duke of Thorns and to Rand.
Hope the neutrals help one of them.
In the current situation of war, the joining of neutral factions may completely determine the direction of the war.
Then there were some nobles from the Royal City Sect and Queen Sect, some of whom could not bear the war and hoped to join the neutral faction.
"What are you going to do?" Ellie sat next to Rand, leaning her head against Rand's shoulder, tilting her body, looking at the letter in her hand.
He has no prince or administrative manner at all, and seems a bit casual.
The warm spring sun shines on Ellie's fair and moist skin, and the shadows of the curtains sway on Ellie's legs and dissipates.
Olena sat dignifiedly on the other side.
Ellie didn't mind Olena leaning over together, but Olena was embarrassed.
Rand rubbed his temples.
At the beginning, Rand's plan was to support whoever wins when the two factions wins.
Aim to avoid national division.
And if the two sides are in a stalemate, they will work with Grand Duke Thorn to try to mediate.
Whether it is the two kings who rule together or let the great nobles form a nursing home to manage it, it is a way.
Although it's not very good.
But the current war report seems to be in this direction.
And that is, as more and more letters pile up on Rand's desk.
Rand found out that he seemed to be able to do more?
This civil war in the Frost Moon Kingdom is a battle for power.
So if Rand participates, can he also gain more power?
For example, the throne of the duke.
And, more voice in politics.
If the voice is large enough, then politics can bring direct benefits.
For example, some bills are enacted.
For example, the Population Act that controls population mobility may not be impossible?
So how can we gain enough political discourse?
Throne.
Rand himself has no right to become a king without the blood of the king.
The king's blood in this world really has some power, and it can be seen directly from the outside.
For example, the royal family of the Frost Moon Kingdom, with faint green eyes.
Rand has black hair and black eyes, which obviously does not match it.
So which prince to support to take the throne is most in Rand's interests?
The obvious answer.
Grand Duke of Thorns.
Grand Duke Thorn is the king's cousin.
The ranking is very low in the throne succession sequence.
Moreover, the Grand Duke of Thorns inherited the throne of the Thorns family and could no longer inherit the throne.
Otherwise, the royal family would have changed from the Frost Moon family to the Thorns family.
But now, if the Royal City Sect and the Queen Sect really have no choice but to win, and the neutral faction can gradually grow...
Then, it's not impossible.
The only problem is that Grand Duke Thorn is not happy.
He felt tired even to be a great duke, let alone to manage the entire country.
And that is, the relationship between the Grand Duke of Thorns and the dead king is really good.
He probably really didn't want to usurp the country or something.
"Do you think the Thorns Guild is willing to try to be king?" Rand asked Olena, who was sitting upright, and Ellie leaning against him.
Olena spoke in a gentle voice: "I think Grand Duke Thorn may not be very willing."
Rand and Grand Duke Thorn basically had Olena's hand in the correspondence between them, so she knew some of the Grand Duke Thorn's ideas.
Grand Duke Thorns is not very acceptable to become king himself.
Ellie rolled her eyes a little weirdly.
Ellie is not the seventeen-year-old girl when she first met Rand, but her personality has not changed much.
"It's not completely impossible," Ellie said.
Rand and Olena both turned their eyes to Ellie, but because Ellie leaned against Rand, Rand could only see one of the backs of Ellie's heads.
Ellie's hair color was originally brown, but as she got older, it gradually became golden and brown, looking quite brilliant.
"You can change your surname to the Grand Duke of Thorns, let him pass the throne to his eldest son, and then change his surname to Cheng Shuangyue, and then you can inherit the throne." Ellie talked happily, with a very understanding expression.
Rand was a little surprised. He could only say that he was worthy of being a royal family? This is about understanding.
It is undoubtedly a bit shameful to do this. After all, changing surnames is definitely not a good sound among the nobles.
Grand Duke Jingthorn was unwilling to seek the throne, let alone let alone change his surname.
It's not time to take action yet.
The situation is not clear yet. Although more and more nobles want to secretly communicate with the neutral faction, they do not directly surrender.
Rand couldn't expose his thoughts too early.
"Then let's make some plans for the time being." Rand stretched and Ellie lay on Rand's leg.
Rand rubbed Ellie's forehead.
I have a lot of work today, and he will go to meet some neutral and small and medium-sized aristocrats later.
And that is, there is still a class in the church school today.
It's really a bit hard.
...
City of the Undead.
The City of the Dead stands in a dark place where the sun never shows the sky. The fog is like a gray veil, wrapping around dilapidated streets and ruins.
The current natural disaster sect has become a climate.
In the center of the city, a huge obsidian tower soars straight into the sky. The eternal green flame burned on the top of the tower, and the shadow of the flame danced on the ground, like countless struggling souls. Under the tower is a square, with dark red symbols embedded on the stone slabs, which flash from time to time, as if communicating with some kind of existence.
In the Obsidian Tower.
The Scourge Cultists in black robe and the Skeleton Councilors are discussing affairs.
Now that the City of the Undead has been successfully established, it is logical that it should be time for them to sweep the world.
However, they are still a little cautious.
The news about the Cavs is actually quite well-versed.
They heard that the New Holy City suffered a heavy blow.
It seems to be something that the faction led by the Torch Church Saint was doing.
This made them hesitate even more.
Karin, the king of Canhong, that terrifying name.
Many people say she died in the old holy city.
But the Crime believers are still afraid, especially since the Torch Church of the Original Intention School can still organize actions of this scale.
Does that mean that nothing happened to their backbone, Karin Eldridge.
So if they really provoke that saint, will the City of the Undead be burned?
Logically speaking, they should not be so afraid after the establishment of the City of the Undead, but Karin's sweeping and massacre in the Frost Moon Kingdom still made the natural disaster believers.
"Have any news from the scouts who went to the Frost Moon Kingdom passed back?" asked a bishop of the Natural Scourge.
A skeleton replied to him: "His Speaker, no news."
No news is the worst news.
This means that all scouts are caught or destroyed.
After thinking for a while, the Bishop of the Scourge said, "I think we should continue to expand our results in the Southern Kingdom."
The implication is not to provoke the Frost Moon Kingdom.
I heard that the political situation in the Frost Moon Kingdom is tense now and it will not be very united in theory.
But it seems that it has gradually become the base camp of the Torch Church's original intention sect.
Therefore, the Bishop of the Scourge still intends to spread the gospel of death to other countries first.
I hope that the original intention sect of the Torch Church in the Frost Moon Kingdom will not meddle in other people's business.
It will be a little later in the evening, so don’t wait, it is possible to write until the early morning.
But fighting is inevitable! ! !
Chapter 403 The Battle of Broken Royal City! (Add to be successful!)
Karin has not received treatment from Rand at the crescent moon collar during this period.
It’s not because I want to escape the foxtail healing device, but I do have some work.
Last time, some information was found due to torture from the Flying Fox Earl Skeleton.
After learning that the Scourge Clan in the City of the Undead had the idea of returning to the North.
Rand, Karin and Bishop Kahn discussed for a while.
Bishop Kahn is in charge of the resort.
Karin took action.
Originally, the affairs of the Frost Moon Kingdom had nothing to do with the Torch Church's Newborn Sect.
But now, the Mother Goddess Sect and the Newborn Sect have begun to cooperate. As the cooperation deepens, the political center of the Newborn Sect of the Torch Church has gradually shifted to the crescent moon leader.
Now the crescent moon leader is transforming into the base camp of the Torch Church's Newborn Sect.
The Torch Church's Newborn Sect definitely does not want the Scourge to re-enter the Frost Moon Kingdom.
