The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 468 Pre-War Meeting

Even the goddess could not decide the problem that Saint Mary encountered.

If we carefully analyze the party who made the mistake in the real estate incident, we can only blame it on the sudden outbreak of war.

Simon, who started the war, should pay for the real estate in the neutral zone, but if he is really confronted with the matter, I'm afraid he will not admit his mistake.

"War is plunder. Simon is taking away his own spoils, and all losses can only be borne by the people living on this land."

Maria believed that there must be many things like real estate disputes, but those things were not in front of her.

Maria suddenly understood what Li said.

"The goddess is already busy with her own affairs, so how can she have the time to manage things on the ground?"

The holy book around her waist protested again, but her protest seemed very weak.

The Holy Scripture has sensed that the power of faith in Maria has been decreasing. Now Maria is like a pan-believer and no longer regards the goddess as her guiding principle.

Shengdian feels that it is time to find a new spokesperson.

Maria was unaware of the Holy Scripture's little thoughts, and now she was more focused on the upcoming meeting.

"Grand Duke von, are you sure Simon would be willing to see us?"

Riding on a well-behaved warhorse, Maria asked the heavily armored Grand Duke von about her doubts.

"This is the rule of the noble war. Even if Simon abandons tradition, he has to see me. Otherwise, he can forget about continuing!"

Although Duke Feng has not participated in a war for many years, he is still as heroic as ever when he mounts his warhorse.

Behind Archduke von and Maria, a row of knights holding battle flags marched in an orderly manner.

Behind these knights holding flags were neatly arranged soldiers. They were an elite team, completely different from the noble coalition Simon had encountered before.

Simon, standing on the city wall, began to tremble the moment he saw Grand Duke von's flag.

Currently, there are two surviving grand dukes with military merits in the kingdom, and the head of the Freyr family is guarding against the demons. The only one left is Black Von in front of him.

Duke Feng is a role model for young nobles, and he is also a problem that everyone cannot avoid when embarking on martial arts practice.

I didn't expect that the hero written in the knight textbook would meet me on the battlefield now!

"Quick! Lower the drawbridge!"

Simon was shaking with excitement, he couldn't wait to meet Grand Duke Feng.

Seeing that the drawbridge of the castle was lowered, Grand Duke Feng and the knights behind him became even more arrogant.

This is the respect they deserve!

"Rest here! Your Highness the Saint, please follow me!"

The meeting with Simon did not require many people to participate, and Archduke von chose to wear a symbolic Maria.

The knights behind Grand Duke Feng were somewhat unwilling, but they did not dare to question Grand Duke Feng's decision.

Today's meeting is to set the tone for future battles. Duke Feng did not carry any weapons to demonstrate his sincerity in the communication.

Simon did not ask anyone to search Grand Duke Feng and just let him into the castle.

The drawbridge was raised, cutting off the possibility for the knights outside the city to directly attack the castle without moral integrity.

Inside the castle, Simon was also wearing his somewhat tattered armor. The holes and stains on the armor were the medals of his military exploits during this period.

When Grand Duke von saw Simon, he fell in love with the young man at first sight.

Grand Duke von saw his younger self in Simon's determined eyes.

Simon must have found his own path, and for this he was willing to break the original balance and do everything he could to see the scenery behind the road.

But Grand Duke von felt a little sorry for Simon.

"In this era, a demon like Li has appeared. Otherwise, we might have fought side by side and served the kingdom together!"

"…Grand Duke Feng, I will start a war here. Although Weize Li plays a big role, my will is also involved!"

The commanders of the two legions immediately pointed out the hidden interests.

Simon is the unlucky guy who was pushed out by Lee to be used as a knife, but Simon may be able to make use of Lee's power and become a true hero of this era.

“…Boy, I admire your ambition, but as far as I know, the people that Li is really training are not nobody like you.”

Duke Feng had lived in the north and had many contacts with Li.

Duke Feng knew that behind this war, it was Li who was promoting the development of the North.

The spokesperson that Li Zhenzhen cultivated was a brave man named Sheng Xingyu.

By the way, what is this brave man doing now?

Duke Feng was a little impatient because compared with Li, who was doing one thing after another, the kingdom's information and arrangements were too lagging behind.

Now, facing Simon, we have to use the trump card of Grand Duke Feng. When Li brings the hero to the stage, who will check and balance the hero?

If this continues, it seems inevitable that the North will win.

"Duke Feng? This time you come here, do you want to arrange a battlefield with me like before, or do you want us to fight according to new rules and each of us will rely on our own abilities?"

Simon's question woke Archduke von up.

Duke Feng knew that since he had come here, his mission was to take care of things here.

As for other possible dangers, let the old silver coin in the palace figure out a solution.

"Simon, I thought you would be more restrained when you saw me. It's good for young people to be hot-tempered, but being too arrogant will bring harm!"

Simon thought that he had already suffered a lot.

However, all the losses Simon suffered were caused by Li stabbing him in the back.

Up to now, Simon has never been defeated in a head-on confrontation. Of course, Simon cannot fail, because if he fails, he will be completely doomed.

"My arrogance comes from the support of the North. If Duke Feng had been able to pacify the North, I wouldn't be who I am now~"

Grand Duke von felt Simon slap him in the face.

"You sharp-tongued brat, you didn't learn anything else, but you learned Li's hateful face very well! Maria, I'll leave the rest to you!"

Grand Duke Feng didn't say anything more. Simon was a radical young man. If Grand Duke Feng wanted to make him surrender, he could only choose to rely on his own abilities.

Archduke von turned and left, leaving Maria and Simon alone to confront each other.

Simon was really unsure about Maria, the Saint of the temple.

According to the rules of the kingdom and the church, Simon is now a traitor. Will the saint judge him directly?

"Sir Simon, I have seen everything you have done recently. I am the eyes and ears of the goddess. I only hope that the changes you bring to the kingdom will not only involve blood and killing!"

"Lord Saint?"

"I, in the name of Maria, advise you to be true to your conscience and to the lives of the people on this land."

Maria did not resort to the old church's method of accusing Simon, but instead advised Simon in her own name not to indulge in war and killing.

Simon watched Archduke von and Maria leave until the two of them reunited with the team and slowly retreated into the distance, and Simon was unable to come to his senses.

"…The kingdom doesn't seem to be as corrupt and decadent as the rumors say."
