Chapter 265 The Wrath of the Snake Woman
The news of the assassination of St. Rudolph, the king of the Holy Sword Principality, soon spread to the Holy Empire and the Eternal Night Empire, and the war that broke out for this once again attracted the attention of the world.
In the Colse Palace of the Holy Empire, the lights provoked by the discussion of major events were on all night and had not been extinguished for several days. The top officials of the Holy Empire are repeatedly demonstrating how to benefit from this conflict.
Taking advantage of the fire, the plan to attack the southern city-states was rejected. The first reason is that the Principality of Shengjian is by no means an ally, the second reason is that the Eternal Night Empire is eyeing, and the third reason is that although the southern city-states are still at war, their strength is still there. All three reasons make Pope Arnold feel that it is not a good idea to take action now.
Because of the outbreak of the war, the envoys from various countries to the Principality of the Holy Sword also returned to no success and did not get the advanced weapons and production technology they dreamed of.
The Eternal Night Empire has received almost as much information, that is, Arkado was assassinated, war broke out, and about 600,000 southern city-state troops fought against about 400,000 troops of the Holy Sword Principality. So far, there is still no victory or defeat.
With the calculation of consuming the southern city-states, the decision-making level of the Yongye Empire is determined not to participate in this war for the time being, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and come to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
However, there was one person who obviously couldn't stand the assassination of Arcado, and she was so angry that she was determined to prepare a special gift for the muses.
"Bastard! Bastard! Shit!" In her bedroom, Violet Anne broke more than a dozen tea cups in one breath before barely stopping.
"Prepare for manpower! I want to go to the southern city-state in person! Here are a few men sent by Arcado! Since you dare to touch Arcado, hum, hum." Anne smiled hysterically, and her cold voice seemed to freeze the whole room.
"Carefully trained dead men, killers sent by the Duke of Sword, choose 50 people for me, southern city-states! I want to keep the damn southern city-state chickens and dogs!" Annie roared loudly.
"I'm going to do it, but..." A voice answered in the shadow.
Annie's big eyes slowly glanced at the shadow in the dark shadow: "Do you have any objection to what I said?"
"I have never questioned your decision. As long as your idea is realized, I just go to the southern city-state. In case St. Rudolph... His Majesty's pawn is killed, wouldn't it be a waste of a lot of arrangements?" The shadow said with difficulty.
Anna's eyes lit up, dissipated her anger, and raised the corners of her mouth: "Well, I'm angry. Thanks to your reminder, I almost did something wrong to delay his career. Send someone, no! You go to the Principality of the Sword in person and ask for an internal list of those lurking in the Southeast City State.
"I'm going to do it now. Please be careful!" After saying that, the shadow disappeared into the shadow.
"Go to the southern city-state capital to find me." Annie said as if talking to the air.
"Yes!" But the air answered her order strangely.
Soon, the Marquis Violet Anne, the first female millionaire in the holy city of Caen, went out to inspect the southern business, and nearly 100 people accompanied her all the way to the southern city-state.
But who knew that such a huge motorcade was "intercepted" by a group of skilled people in black on the way, and there was no one left.
What makes people strange is that this group of thieves did not seem to rob the property much, but set off a fire in a hurry, burned the bodies of 100 people to ashes, and then fled.
Subsequently, the huge inheritance of the Marquis of Violet was inherited by a distant cousin of Violet Anne, who came to "relative" of Violet Anne two years ago and was deeply loved by the Marquis of Violet Anne, so he made a will to give the inheritance of the property to this distant "relative".
Half a month later, on the border between the Holy Empire and the southeast city-state, a carriage slowly passed through the gate, and a woman who claimed to be the Duchess of Brando entered the southeast city-state.
At the same time, in the distant City of Cotton, the Duke of the Sword, the shadow saw his loyal master's master, Acardo.
"So, Anne wants to assassinate the muuse?" Arcado smiled and looked at the shadow in front of him. Anne's loyalty and madness made Arcado extremely satisfied.
"Yes! So I'm here to get the list of dark lines you arranged." The shadow lowered his head and said.
Acardo laughed and said, "Annie is very thoughtful, and I am also very satisfied with you as a subordinate. There is only one military man... He can't kill. Other people are casual. They don't need garbage at all. There is not even a news about someone who assassinated me. It's a waste of gold coins to keep it.
The shadow did not answer, but stood there quietly, silently waiting for Arcado to continue to speak.
Acardo paused, and his eyes were suddenly full of sadness: "I used to have a subordinate like you, or a friend, who doesn't like to talk like you, because there is a scar on the corners of his mouth, and his words are always strange. I thought he was a little dull, but now I'm a little uncomfortable with the days without him. ."
"Is this the reason for this war?" The shadow asked indifferently.
"No, this is one of the reasons for this war, and the other reason is that I want to rule the world. Make everyone who survives happier and happier. Arcado said with a wry smile.
The shadow was silent for a while and then said, "I kind of understand your idea. Lord Snake didn't choose the wrong person."
"What? You came to my office in the middle of the night with a dagger. If the snake girl chooses the wrong person, will you still kill me? Arcado asked the shadow with a smile.
The shadow said seriously, "There are 23 sentries at the gate of your palace. Although it is strictly guarded, it is not difficult for me to kill you."
"Hahaha, I appreciate your self-confidence, but if the ring you are wearing doesn't save you, the dark whistle behind the 7th whistle would have sounded the alarm." Arcado said with a smile.
The shadow was shocked and looked up at Arcado. Subconsciously touched the snake-headed mithril ring on his finger.
"I won't make the same mistake twice, Mr. Shadow. There are 30 checkpoints on your way here. Are you satisfied if you only find 23?" Arcado continued.
Shadow bent down and admired: "Your Majesty is really a good method. Shadow admires it. I underestimated your strength. I will leave today. Goodbye." After saying that, he hid in a dark shadow.
"Tell Annie to be careful! If you fail, withdraw quickly!" Arcado said casually.
"Yes!" There was a response from the wind.
Suddenly, in the place where the shadow just stood, and there were three other corners, four elf masters appeared at the same time, all dressed in black, and the leader looked old.
"He dares to disrespect you. Why doesn't His Majesty the Regent kill him?" A woman in black asked.
"It's of great use to keep him." Arcado rubbed his nose and closed his eyes and said, "He is absolutely loyal to Violet Anne, so he won't rebel against me. Isn't it a loss to kill him?"
