Chapter 43 Astor Rhine

"So that's it. I think I have seen the one you were talking about, His Excellency General Astor Rhine."

Snow hung up Wireless Graeme, and then looked at the man walking towards this side surrounded by a group of guards.

The other party was tall and tall, with a rather upright Chinese-character face. He looked to be in his thirties, and his clothes were not as luxurious or exaggerated as those of ordinary nobles. They just looked like ordinary Rhine military uniforms.

However, his chest is covered with all kinds of badges.

Astor Rhine, the adopted son of the contemporary Grand Duke of Rhine, was upright, brave, and good at making friends.

At the same time, he is also one of the military power figures of the Rhine Principality, controlling a border army of nearly ten thousand people.

He is also an absolute hawk, and has won many victories in border frictions with the Principality of Beto. In this war, he was the commander-in-chief in charge of the right-wing army...

Komuyi looked at the other party's rather rich resume and rubbed his eyebrows with his hands. This was information from the Central Hall.

Without informing him, the superiors notified this supporter of the Black Order of their own assembly area.

The intention is already obvious. It is to see if he can add another feat to the opponent's resume in the next battle.

But this time, what he faced was the devil.

"Does the Central Office want to control the Suez Canal?"

Komuyi stared at the photo belonging to Astor Rhine on this intelligence. The two countries on both sides of the Suez Canal would probably cease to exist after the battle.

Both Rhine and Beto will face a situation of possible disintegration, because according to the latest intelligence passed on, the royal families of these two principalities may have been wiped out.

Either he was killed or he became a demon.

Therefore, there must be a peaceful and stable situation on the Grand Canal that connects the north and the south to ensure the Black Order's control over places outside of Europe.

It can be seen that the Central Office has regarded Asta Rhine as the next target of support, and the benefits that can be obtained by taking control of the canal are also extremely generous.

In this situation, reaching in is simply a great opportunity.

The Black Order stands behind Asta to share the benefits together... Under this situation and background, Asta Rhine is a perfect candidate.

This guy has a good reputation, has enough power in his hands, and has a good base among the people. Most importantly, he is a very qualified supporter of the Black Order.

The initial information about the demon between the two countries was discovered by him and then passed on.

Although his surname is Rhine, he is only an adopted son, has no right to inherit the throne, and is not subject to the conditions of the "Holy Judgment" that follows.

He is simply a perfect candidate.

In Komuyi's mind, the purpose of these actions in the Central Hall was simply obvious.

It is imperative for the Black Order to take actual control of the Suez Canal.

This is really...the war has not even started yet, but we are already thinking about how to finish it off and divide the benefits.

But this is the decision from above, and Komuyi has no right to question anything. At the moment, he can only cooperate with the front and try his best to fight this battle as well as possible... No wonder the other party will send a generalissimo to take charge.

"I'm so sorry! Because this is a military camp, I can only use these things to entertain you exorcists."

Inside the tent, Astor expressed his sincere apology to Snow.

"It's an extraordinary time! It's good to have something to eat."

The rabbi said vaguely while taking big mouthfuls of dried meat and bread.

They are currently in the military camp of Asta's army, and have received a warm welcome. This enthusiastic general has already provided the highest quality military rations in the army.

This guy understands world culture very well! There are three oriental faces. According to his understanding, there is a habit of talking about things at the wine table.

"It's a pity that this is a military camp, so I can't bring out drinks to entertain you."

"No...actually, minors are not allowed to drink here."

Rabbi glanced at Snow secretly.

"I'm about to turn 17."

"But Eastern culture reaches adulthood at the age of 18..."

This time General Asta brought out a lot of people, nearly 2,000 people. He was the commander-in-chief of the border troops of the Rhine Principality, but he had a very vicious vision.

When the first wave of demon troops appeared on the battlefield, he had a hunch that things might have gotten out of control.

It happened that the Black Order sent an envoy to the palace to inquire. Although the Rhine family had always been a supporter of the Black Order, he still didn't know much about the detailed information about the "Holy War".

Fortunately, he took the initiative to contact the supporters of the Black Order and learned the relevant information immediately. He also realized that the demon army was not a so-called new weapon, but an enemy of mankind.

Therefore, with a keen sense of smell, he immediately evacuated the battlefield with his remaining troops, decisively abandoning the two troops that were fighting.

Not long after he withdrew, the demons on the battlefield began to get out of control, and the "new weapons" on both sides began to cooperate, slaughtering the soldiers on the battlefield without restraint.

At the same time, in various towns, humans would turn into demons from time to time and start killing. There must be many towns along the way that were occupied by the group of monsters floating in the sky.

There has been no contact with the palace, so the whole army may have been destroyed.

"I didn't expect my father to make such a decision. Perhaps it was because his eldest brother's matter really made it unbearable for him to bear the pain, so he made this wrong decision impulsively.

It has caused so much harm to the country and its people."

Asta slammed the table with a painful look on his face. Now his country is considered destroyed, and his family has all become enemies...

"How much do you know about the situation at Beto, General?"

Snow changed the topic. At the same time, he was also very confused about the cause of the war.

"Beto? I don't know much about that side, but the other side did suddenly use the excuse of the prince's assassination, and then suddenly attacked my border troops, causing our defense line to collapse.

Although we later organized a counterattack, it was to no avail because those monsters were the first to appear in the opponent's troops."

"Prince assassinated?"

The rabbi raised his head. He didn't understand the relevant matters, and Snow only knew a little about it from hearing rumors. At this moment, these words came out of the mouth of the general in front of him.

Snow narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.

"Excuse me, have you really taken action from the Rhine Principality?"

General Astor fell silent. He understood what the other party meant. After all, no matter how he looked at it, the Rhine side was indeed suspicious.

"Anyway, I think it's impossible. My father is not the kind of person who likes to provoke disputes at will. He also knows what kind of consequences he will face if he attacks the crown prince of a country."

General Astor raised his head and firmly defended his father.

"That's it! There's a high probability that the mastermind behind the scenes is directing and acting on his own. Maybe Beto's side has already been infiltrated, and maybe the whole country is a demon."

Snow nodded. It was meaningless to discuss the cause of the war now. The top priority was to deal with the demon.

General Asta nodded bitterly and sighed deeply.

"Yes! Maybe I am the only one left in the Rhine family now."

After hearing this, Snow raised his eyebrows in confusion and seemed to say it unintentionally.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that when the situation broke out a few days ago, when I passed the battlefield, I heard that Princess Rhine came to the front line to express condolences to the soldiers.

General, I wonder if you have ever learned about "Holy Judgment"?"

After saying that, Snow used the corner of his eye to observe the other person closely, completely ignoring the rabbi who was under the table and stepping on his toes.

"Snow, why are you talking about this?"

The rabbi yelled wildly from below. He also knew a thing or two about "Holy Judgment". After all, he was the inheritor of the Book Man!

After hearing this, General Astor's face became even more painful, and he spoke to them in a somewhat pleading tone.

"My dear exorcists, please see if we, the remaining Rhine people, can be more generous in helping you. She is just a child, and she has already lost enough.

That is my dearest niece. She has always thought that I was his biological uncle. If possible, after this war is over, I am willing to give up the right to rebuild the Rhine Principality and entrust this land to the Order for management.

As long as I can spare that child's life..."

Snow looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly clasped his hands and apologized to the other party.

"General, don't get me wrong. I don't want to do anything to harm the child. I just want to see if I can get more from the princess. After all, she has been living in the palace!

In fact, I have always advocated for meritorious service, and the importance of intelligence cannot be ignored. If it can reduce our casualties, then I believe that many people will be willing to intercede for the little princess."
