Chapter 463 Leader
The war in the center of the kingdom intensified because of Simon's victory.
Many people who did not want Simon to rise began to invest real power to suppress him.
However, with the support of the North, the coalition of nobles could not defeat Simon. The battlefield of a thousand people slowly evolved into a battle involving tens of thousands of people, but still could not achieve a clear result.
Some young nobles also followed Simon's example and formed forces to expand their influence.
Soon, the central part of the kingdom became a mess.
"Alright, that bastard Li actually accomplished such a big thing in such a short time!"
The griffin messenger reported the chaos in the central part of the kingdom to the capital. When the old king saw it, he couldn't believe it at first, and then he could only sulk.
The old king received the news as early as when the North reached out to the central part of the kingdom.
He thought that Li just wanted to expand slowly and there would be no major problems in the short term.
As a result, after only a month and a half of neglect, the central part of the kingdom was completely out of control.
"Are those new weapons really that useful?"
When Edward brought the weapons traded from the North to the palace, the old king also asked someone to test those things.
But the ray gun is not as fast as a bow and arrow, nor as powerful as a magician's.
YiTouBao is indeed an innovative thing, but the old king doesn’t like such expensive consumables.
Who would have thought that because of his indifference, these things would instantly destroy the original balance of the kingdom.
"We can't go on like this, that Li is obviously supporting... Simon!"
The old king looked at the report again before reading out the name Simon.
Simon was an inconspicuous little noble in the central part of the kingdom, and was completely unknown before this. But now, his name has spread throughout the entire kingdom.
"Your Holiness, what do you want?"
Lilith and Lei stood respectfully in front of the old king. They had already received news about what happened in the central part of the kingdom.
When they learned of the chaos in central China, the two were not as surprised as the old king. They just sighed in their hearts, saying that he was worthy of being called Li.
"I want you to eliminate Simon! It's not time to abolish the aristocracy yet!"
"Yes…"
Lei accepted the order, but Lilith hesitated.
The old king and Lei both noticed Lilith's strange behavior and wanted to see her attitude.
Could it be that Lilith is tired of working in the royal capital and plans to return to Li?
"Your Majesty, why didn't Li use the power of the North to attack directly, but instead supported a minor noble like Simon?"
As soon as Lilith said this, the king fell into deep thought.
Every time Li does something, he has his own special purpose. The king thinks carefully about the benefits of supporting his agent...
"Suppose I also support an agent..."
If the king also sends an agent to participate in the war in the center of the kingdom.
Then the scale of the war can be controlled within a certain range and will not affect the royal capital and important cities.
Another thing is, if you don’t want to continue this war in the future, just hand over the agent, and all the sins will be borne by that person.
The most crucial thing is that during the war, all the ambitious nobles in the kingdom will be involved. The king is worried that he will not have the opportunity to weaken the power of his nobles. Isn’t this a good opportunity?
"Sir Lilith, what do you think about the Kingdom also sending out an agent?"
Lilith smiled and politely answered the king's question.
"Your Majesty, I think we can try it. This way, the chaos in the central part of the kingdom will only be a conflict between nobles and will not rise to the level of the kingdom."
After Lilith's reminder, the old king was no longer so anxious.
He has come to realize that war is not necessarily wrong and that this could be a good opportunity to change the kingdom.
However, compared with Lee who created this opportunity, the benefits the king can get are ultimately a little smaller.
"Sir Lilith, who do you think we should elect to represent the kingdom?"
It is difficult to choose the person who will represent the kingdom in the fight against the North.
The status of an old noble is enough, but it may not be able to adapt to the new battlefield where new things are constantly emerging.
Because of his low status, he was unable to command the army and suppress the knights whose composition was complex.
"We need a veteran who has status and is familiar with the situation in the North..."
After listing the conditions, the king suddenly had an idea and thought of someone.
A duke who had left the royal capital and lived in the north for several years.
"Blake Von! Grand Duke Von is the most suitable candidate!"
The best agent in the king's mind has been selected, but whether Grand Duke Feng is willing to take on the important task is another matter.
"Lei, send someone to deliver a message immediately, ordering Grand Duke Feng to return to the capital for an audience!"
"Yes…"
Lei was just about to accept the revised order when he heard a steady voice coming from outside the palace.
"No need, Your Majesty, I am right here!"
Duke Feng, wearing armor inlaid with gold rivets, strode into the hall. The aura he exuded put a lot of pressure on the people around him.
Lilith and Lei subconsciously made way, and even the king straightened his back.
"Your Majesty, Black Feng, pays respect to His Majesty the King!"
Even though the person in front of him had been promoted to Pope, Grand Duke Feng still called him His Majesty the King.
The king was not angry. Seeing that Duke Feng took the initiative to return to the capital, the king was only happy.
"Old friend, I thought you were going to abandon me. Just come back, just come back!"
"I have given my all to Your Majesty. How could I ignore the crisis of the kingdom?"
The appearance of Duke Feng gave a shot of adrenaline to the increasingly melancholy old king.
The king's complexion improved.
After some greetings, the old king calmed down. The war had been temporarily decided. He was a little curious as to why Grand Duke Feng appeared at such a timely moment.
"Feng, what wind brought you back? When you left before, I heard that you seemed unwilling to participate in the affairs of the kingdom anymore."
When faced with the king's question, Duke Feng looked a little awkward.
"You're still being coy with me? That's not like you, old friend!"
"…Actually, it was Li that asked me to come here, saying that in this war, the strength of both sides must be matched so that we can gain the greatest benefit."
When the old king heard that it was Li who sent Duke Feng back, he was so surprised that his mouth was wide open.
"You mean Li! Li asked you to come back and lead the army, but did he ask you to do anything else?"
Is Duke Feng loyal to the kingdom or to the North now? Could this guy be a spy?
The old king was very afraid that Duke Feng would play some underworld tricks. If he failed to do so, the foundation of the kingdom would be ruined in an instant!
"Well, it's like this. Li asked me to ask your Majesty which nobles you don't like, which ones don't obey orders, and which ones are ambitious. As long as they are people your Majesty hates, just throw them all to the battlefield~"
