Chapter Thirty-One: The Outsider

The overthrow of the Sean clan minimized the negative impact under the joint suppression of the royal family and the government cabinet. Baron Rod Custer, the legion commander, was considered a reason, but the bigger reason was:

In the world war, the national treasury was empty, and the Seans had been doing business for many generations and were rich enough to rival a country.

Moreover, the reputation of this tribe is very poor.

The firing of the Sean family can greatly alleviate the financial crisis in the Principality of St. Rudin, and will not cause a political rebound that everyone is in danger.

In the next half month, all major newspapers across the country reported all kinds of crimes of the Sean clan, and used political power to make them become traitors and evil people, and would always be nailed to the pillar of shame in national history.

But even in this situation, the eldest son of this family successfully fled abroad. In the process of pursuing him, the surrounding nobles and consortiums close to the Sean family were also affected by the punishment. The power of the great chaebol and the great merchants suddenly became one-third of the country.

"In a peaceful and prosperous era, of course, consortium merchants need to prosper the economy and revitalize the country, but in this time when there is shortage of troops and food, wealth and power need to be further concentrated, so that more powerful combat power can be devoted to the frontline battlefield." Egula Hessing said to the man sitting in front of her.

"Your original marquis and titles were temporarily put on hold by the superiors. Isn't it a pity that you lost Rongxun, who had been to be slaughtered sooner or later, for the sake of a pair of Nolsians and his sons, who had been to be slaughtered sooner or later, they lost Rongxun, who had obtained through bloody battles?"

(That feeling really doesn't...I don't plan to live with you for hundreds of years.)

Three shots rang out at the same time that night, but in the end it was the closest. Zhu Peng, the strongest, exploded Norssian's fat head with a jackal and gained a lot of power of fate.

Just this, this wave is very worth it for him.

"Is the situation on the front-line battlefield so tense? Because of this case, the killing and punishing dozens or hundreds of major chaebols in succession. As a royal family, it is already very ugly. The consortium is destroyed, a large number of workers lose their jobs, and various living supplies will become less and less. The living standards of the people will decline step by step...a ​​chain reaction."

"The poor countries are more afraid of the death war, and the turbulent social environment is easier to recruit soldiers, and use a small amount of salary to transfer a large number of skilled workers into the national factories that produce war materials... You are right, the front line is defeated, but it is not that the Western magic alliances won, but that... insects emerged throughout the continent." As he said that, Egula Hesing opened the drawer and took out a cowhide folder and handed it to Zhu Peng.

He reached out and took it and opened it, and took out a pile of documents that were defeated and requested military support, as well as several black and white military photos:

It is indeed a worm, half human and half insect, or a human body and head, and it has the strange existence of both human and insect life characteristics. The most eye-catching photo is a female worm covered with exoskeleton worm armor. She stood in the surging insect tide around, waving a purple-black sting like a spear, and commanding all kinds of insects and beasts around to charge towards a human army.

"The strange unknown races that surged from the ground were giant alienated insects without wisdom, but a small number of insects with human form were high-level nobles, or the brains of this race. Not many of them were rushing out in the Duchy of St. Rudin. The pirate country next to them was directly swallowed by the tide of insects gushing out from the ground. The most disgusting thing is that this race has the ability to "assimilate". Many people have no abnormal changes in appearance and behavior after being parasitized by the Zerg, so that there is no warning when they rebel and it is difficult to prevent it." When she said this, the Countess with long silver hair paused for a moment, and then she continued to say to Zhu Peng:

"The town of Noka, where you were temporarily living, also rushes out of the insects from the depths of the mine. The number is very small. In addition, the power you stayed there before leaving is also very strong, and it was forced to suppress it. It is one of the few places where all the insects appeared, and there was no mass murder."

"......I did exert some influence on that place because of mining, but I didn't know that it would affect the arrival of the insects. There was a demon-general army of the Three Western Kingdoms on the front line. Now the underground insects are suddenly appearing again. It's no wonder that the royal family had to adjust the country into a wartime state." The people on this continent did not have the concept of anomalous invasion. They could only force the appearance of the insects as underground living bodies in this world.

But I don’t know that this concept of unity affects the original will of the entire world, and instead reduces the repulsion effect of the invaders.

For the National Royal Knights, headed by the Legion Commander Egura Helsing and even the ruling leader Rod Caster, was vaguely the last private army of the royal family and also had a huge role in defending the royal capital. Their main task before was to deal with undead creatures headed by the Night Clan. Existences like vengeful spirits and corpse ghosts were also under the scope of the Knights' handling, and now they have to be invaded by parasites.

In general, the salary has not increased, but the workload has increased.

************************

The academy war, which was originally planned for ten years, was a mess by the alien invasion of the insect man clan that suddenly crashed into. Now the entire black castle is still shrouded in a strange white mist. Once you accidentally get a little bit of it, you will walk into the fog without looking back and die.

This is the case from the lowest level apprentice to a famous legendary wizard. However, it is very normal to think about it. It is a big meal specially prepared by Tongtian Witch Tower for the fourth level existence.

The bloody trial will obviously not be interrupted by the invasion of the alien plane. So now the wizards in the Santiago continent will have to deal with the invasion of relatively unfamiliar environments and a fourth-level high civilization without any support. The wizards originally gathered in the Western Continent, but the Western Continent is a dual outbreak zone of demon wars and insect scourges. Gradually, the wizards began to migrate to the relatively stable Eastern Continent.

If it was a peaceful era, these lonely and mysterious spellcasters would mostly choose to live alone or lead a few followers to retreat to the mountains and forests, because the resources in a certain area are limited, and wizards, especially dark wizards, do not like to gather together.

But in the current mainland environment where wars are raging, gunpowder smoke is everywhere, poisonous gas covers the sun, and artillery fires tear apart the clouds, they will instead choose metropolis of various countries.

Because as long as there are enough humans around to cover themselves, wizards have a much higher chance of survival than ordinary humans, whether in the face of war or ectopic insect scourge.

The Principality of St. Rudin is not a weak country in the Eastern Continent, especially in recent years, the regime has been reorganized due to wars, and the central government has been highly concentrated. The king's capital Revel has the protection of five ace mechanics. This is a military force that can be dealt with in a general sense.

So many wizards went here... and were named one by one by the National Royal Knights.

After several rounds of political battles during this period, although he is considered to be an outsider, Zhu Peng still watched you sing and we sing.

However, just in terms of the current political situation, the elderly queen who laughed the most calmly was the one who gradually re-examining and grasped the power she had lost, and then ruled the country with lofty prestige and sophisticated political skills, fighting against the Western coalition, suppressing the spread of insect disasters, and even sweeping the rebels with iron-blooded means.

The brain power and vitality represented by the series of decrees made Zhu Peng frown secretly outside the room... Maybe it was because of Egula Helsing that the old queen had a very important trust in herself, and with this level of trust, Zhu Peng even obtained the authority to mobilize ace mechanics.

This army did not belong to the Royal Knights of the National Order, nor to Rod Custer, but Zhu Peng had two signed short orders, and he could bring an army to the city anytime and anywhere in the name of the Queen.

The recent mechanical forces are actually BUTT's coordinated combat forces. This kind of mortal army is useful, but it is difficult to help the strong man who has entered the legendary rank under the premise of insufficient conditions.

But it is useless to say that it is useless. The legendary strongman claims to be one enemy and one army, but he never said that he can win. If you want to give an example, there are many legends who were beaten to death by the mortal army for some reasons.

*********************

At noon one day, the Royal Library of the Principality of St. Rudin.

In and out of the Royal Library or even read the forbidden books in the secret room, it was one of the conditions for Zhu Peng to agree to come to Revel. The royal ancestor of the Duchy of St. Rudin was a wizard. In fact, this was also the blood descendant of the mainland who had no mental power or even cultivation talent. He was abandoned by the wizard on this continent because of privilege and some of the power given by his ancestors. He either became the royal family or became a great noble.

Therefore, in the secret room banned bookcases of the Royal Library, there are actually many essays and classics that need to be paid high prices to read at Black Castle Academy. Although some of them are incomplete and the other part even has fallacies, it is still enough to enrich your knowledge reserves.

I was very lucky today. The phone at the desk didn't ring, which means there was no urgent matter.

It was not until dusk that Zhu Peng had copied the last stroke and closed the thick black shell classics on the table, and then he walked out with witchcraft notes.

During the process, I saw a somewhat slender young man in a robe leaning against a stone pillar and looking at a biography of a knight. He was limited to his current identity, so Zhu Peng couldn't just take it as if he didn't see it and went over.

He came to the second prince and planned to say hello and leave, but the delicate young man in the robe was really immersed in the books and words in his hands. Zhu Peng stood beside him for about two minutes and coughed gently before he suddenly woke up and reacted.

"If you don't leave, the place will be closed. The person who manages this place is a very strict and obese old lady. It is said that she has a friendship with the Queen. I don't think we need to touch her bad temper."

"Uh...of course, thank you for Viscount Cast for your reminder." Because of the headshot of the banquet, Zhu Peng's original marquis and territory were cut off, and his title was cut into viscount, and there was no territory.

However, no one of the nobles in this continent can still manage their territory with peace of mind.

Zhu Peng and the second prince Jer walked out of the Royal Library together. While walking side by side with each other, Jer suddenly spoke: "Vissue Cast, do you believe it? I have never thought of competing for the throne with my elder brother... Although I say this, you may think I am very hypocritical."

"...No, I believe you." When he said this, Jer beside Zhu Peng was obviously stunned for a moment, and Zhu Peng ignored him and continued to say as he walked out: "A person who is obsessed with power can no longer have the happiness of being completely immersed in the biography of the knights."

Zhu Peng said these words sincerely.

People like the eldest prince Rokov and the second prince Jer beside him who have not undergone special training cannot successfully lie beside someone like Zhu Peng, because the physiological characteristics of normal people lie have been compiled into a booklet and handed over to every alchemist in the Chinese Warrior Association.

With these masters and powerful insights and perceptions, every alchemist is simply a humanoid lie detector, and ordinary people can't hide lying.

"You...you are willing to believe me, so please convey my meaning to my elder brother on my behalf. I have never thought of competing for the throne with my elder brother. In my eyes, my elder brother is the best heir to the throne."

"The key to the problem is not what you think, but what the people around you think, what the nobles who support you think, and even... what the queen thinks."

"You cherish the friendship between your brothers, but Your Majesty thinks you are her best heir. The nobles behind you also look at this. They are speculating and trusting your Majesty's vision. Therefore, what you think is not important at all, and I cannot convey that precious kindness for you." With a smile on the side, Zhu Peng patted the shoulders of the young man who was stunned beside him, and then he boarded the carriage of the Knights of the National Emperor and left first.

During this period, because the eldest prince Rokov helped him hold the jar at the banquet, many nobles naturally thought they were from the eldest prince Rokov.

Zhu Peng didn't care much about this factional dispute in politics. Everyone thought that the hostess of this country would die soon, but Zhu Peng felt that if there were no surprises, this queen would probably live longer and longer than those active guys in the current politics.

And, as an outsider, betting is meaningless.
