Different from the solemn atmosphere in the war room, Rudolph and his team were slowly walking along the coastline, away from the city of Port Codor.
Cooper yawned and asked: "Rudolph, is this line safe?"
After becoming a Level 5 corpse from the past, Cooper didn't need to sleep, and he couldn't sleep, so he usually became very sleepy. This kind of sleepiness was very uncomfortable, and he was always in a state where he clearly wanted to sleep, but couldn't.
"The route is very safe. The latest sand table I saw in the war room shows that the Constitutional Army has no troops deployed in this direction. There is no need for us to be anxious."
Rudolph did not walk quickly, deliberately slowing down the team.
The sea breeze brought a wisp of noise. Rudolph turned his head and glanced at the sea. There seemed to be some movement on the sea in the distance. He looked up again and looked at the sky in the distance. There also seemed to be some movement in the sky.
However, Rudolf was not worried at all. Kedrick had just become the Viscount of the Earldom of Golden Anchor and could not die here. Kedrick was his talisman.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Kedrick suddenly said: "Mr. Rudolph, I feel something is strange."
"Is it weird?"
"Yes, this place is not far from the city of Port Cordore. Even if there is no battle, the reconnaissance troops will patrol here regularly, but it has been half an hour and not a single scout has been seen."
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe your scouts were exhausted the past few days and are resting now."
Five minutes later, Kedrick asked again: "Mr. Rudolf, I suddenly remembered that when we left Port Codor, there was a group of scouts heading in the same direction as us, but we didn't see them coming back. In other words,
They may have been attacked!"
"Really? That's so unfortunate." Rudolph reminded: "Kedrick, although you are a descendant of the Golden Anchor family, you do not belong to the Royal Navy's West Fleet. You cannot interfere in the war here."
Kedric nodded. Military discipline is very important. Even Count Nahor, the commander of the Eastern Fleet, cannot interfere in the military affairs here.
There is a road by the sea. This road is not smooth. Several people are chatting and walking forward. Only Kedric is becoming more and more silent.
Until a certain moment, a low muffled sound came from the sea, clearly breaking the tranquility of the night.
"It's artillery! I heard you right! The Royal Navy and the Constitutional Navy are fighting at sea!"
Rudolf turned back and said, "If you are in a hurry, you can go back first."
Kedrick shook his head: "It's okay. I'm just one of the representatives of the Eastern Fleet. I'm really not suitable to interfere in the military affairs of the Western Fleet. Especially since my brother Caleb is now a senior officer of the Eastern Fleet, he won't like to rush to express himself.
of me."
At Kedric's coming-of-age ceremony, he had already noticed the awkwardness of Caleb's elder brother. He could not misread it. The disgust deep in Caleb's eyes almost made him lose control of his expression.
They are all used to seeing hypocritical nobles, so it is easy to tell whether others are really happy or forcing a smile. If he were to show off again at this time, he would definitely receive greater hostility.
Even the relatively dull Ursula felt that the atmosphere had become tense.
Rudolph suddenly remembered something, and he asked: "Kedrick, do you have any plans regarding the Evil God Cult? The knights and the Alchemy Council will fight to the death, so don't let the Evil God Cult take advantage in the end."
"No. Our king, Carloman XVI, has not moved. No matter how fierce the war on the front line is, His Majesty and his Royal Knights have not moved." Kedrick said with confidence:
"No one can defeat the king and his loyal royal knights unless the evil god himself comes."
"In other words, are you fighting with the Alchemy Council like this now, or are you giving up a king and the most elite knights?"
"Yes. If His Majesty the King comes to the front line in person, all the senators in the Upper House of the Alchemy Parliament must be mobilized. Neither the Royal Army nor the Royal Navy is the strongest armed force in the Kingdom. The Royal Knights directly under His Majesty the King are the Kingdom's
The biggest trump card.
My second and third brothers are both serving in the Royal Knights. When they left home, one was a level 3 knight and the other was a level 2 knight. When they first entered the knights, they were just ordinary cavalrymen of the lowest level. Some even were the third level of nobles.
The first heir will also enter the Royal Knights and receive the most rigorous training.
If I had not been promoted to level 4 knight, I think I would have gone to the Royal Knights, where I could make friends with the royal family and receive more rigorous training."
Emperor Mogwen in the far north, like those famous emperors in history, has the ability to confront the evil god head-on. Carloman XVI, who is one level lower than the emperor, is the knight second only to the evil god.
Kedrick continued: "If the evil god dares to set foot on the northern continent, then Emperor Mogwen will have a reason to go south. He will lead his troops straight to the Saragu Sea and drive the evil god out of the sea again."
Mentioning the knights, Kedrick's tone was filled with glory. He firmly believed that neither the Alchemy Council nor the Evil God could be the opponent of the knights.
"Does the Mogwen Empire have an agreement with other kingdoms? Once the evil god lands, they can go south?"
"Yes, there has always been such a consensus on the mainland. Once the evil god lands, everyone will unite behind the Knight Emperor to fight against the evil god. But I don't know if this ancient agreement can still be obeyed by alchemists."
Kedrick continued: "If it weren't for the threat of the evil cult, how could the Alchemical Parliament be the opponent of His Majesty the King? Those senators..."
Rudolf suddenly looked towards the seaside in the distance, where there was a fierce exchange of fire, instead of the dull sound coming from a distance.
Kedrick, who had military experience, immediately recognized what it was: "It was a landing battle! The Royal Navy defeated the Constitutional Army Navy and then landed in front of us! But, Mr. Rudolf, didn't you mean that there was no Constitutional Army army in front of us?
?"
Rudolph spreads his hands:
"Oh, in the Royal Navy war room, Viscount Paulus took me there, and Chief of Staff Albert showed me the sand table of the latest troop deployment. The sand table showed that there was indeed no Constitutional Army troops in front.
Maybe, just now, the Constitutional Army suddenly mobilized a large number of troops and accidentally blocked us?"
War Room, Paulus, Alberto... As smart as Kedrick, he immediately thought of the worst possibility: "They are framing you!"
Rudolf smiled: "Don't think of me as so important. I am just a wizard passing by. At most, I am a wizard who can propose some cooperation to your father. How could I be targeted by so many people.
Kedrick, I am about to return to my hometown. I don’t know when we will see you next time.
I brought you out this time because before I left, I wanted to tell you a truth: Never think too highly of others.
