Chapter five hundred and eighty-ninth battle for the throne
Just a few days later, Heyana suddenly left Rheinburg and went to the Bracada coalition camp outside Fort Fort to find her father Schmidt who was accompanying the army.●⌒,
In this regard, although Moriarty tried to stop, persuade, and even argue, it was all to no avail. Heyanna seemed to have made up her mind and just insisted on traveling without Moriarty accompanying her. In the end, she had no choice but to not really
He moved to put Heyena under house arrest, and Moriarty had no choice but to let her go.
In order to ensure the safety of her lover as much as possible, all the three Naga brothers and Claudia were dispatched as Hyena's followers. A team of magic swordsmen and a squadron of sword and shield infantry were also placed beside the fiancée as personal guards.
The goblin airship Dayun has also become Haierna's special vehicle, allowing her to drive around during the entire trip.
Haiyana didn't say much about this, but just accepted it silently.
It wasn't until the moment of departure that the tears finally couldn't resist the pull of gravity and burst into tears. However, despite her fiancé's last persuasion, she resolutely turned around and left.
"Your Excellency... you... really should be more 'tough', otherwise it will only cause pain to both parties." Looking at the airship going away, Clausewitz let out a rare sigh and gave advice on private matters.
"Maybe..." Moriarty's eyes were dull and showed no emotion: "It's just a temporary separation. We will be together in the end."
"I hope so." The old werewolf stroked his round hat and nodded helplessly.
After a period of time, everything seemed to become calm and relaxed again.
With the full rule of Earl Salk and the withdrawal of the forces of the Devil and the Church of Light, the security situation and production order in Kent County have greatly improved. Some small and medium-sized local nobles began to gradually return to their original homes, gather the remnants and tenant farmers, and try to restore production
.At the same time, Kent County's defense system, led by Windsor and Rhineland, has gradually been established, ready to respond to the invasion of foreign enemies at any time and ensure the safety of people and property in the county.
During this period, Baron Ensberg, who had shifted his family's focus to County Auge, also sent Hamilton a handwritten letter explaining his reasons and considerations for changing the family's territory, and hoped that Rheinburg could obtain viscounts and even counties for the family in the future.
Baron provided help. At the same time, the baron also transferred the ownership of Ivy Manor to Moriarty personally, as a small compensation for an incompetent father to his eldest son.
In response to this, Moriarty just laughed silently, but enthusiastically retained Hamilton for a few days. When they parted, he gave Hamilton a set of newly made knight armor, which had a good defense power of "+2 physical defense attribute".
"Your Excellency, a letter from Wolfsburg."
Just after setting up a simple negative energy room in the Rheinburg for Gauguin to use, Clausewitz suddenly sent a secret letter masked in animal skin. There was also strange energy on the seal of the letter.
Mark. Simulates a sharp wolf tooth.
"Is it a letter from Margaret?"
Moriarty was stunned and took the letter. Unknowingly, it had been years since he and the female werewolf were separated, and he didn't know if she was still happy living in Crowroad.
"No, it's a letter from the eldest lady." Looking at the Lord's face, the old werewolf said a little strangely.
"Well? Ekaterina?" Moriarty paused again and looked at the envelope in his hand: "Why did she write to me?"
Moriarty has long had a grudge against Margaret's sister. The last time they met, she not only defeated her in a duel, but also slapped the arrogant female war priest loudly in public. She is a natural enemy.
.
"I don't know either." The old werewolf shook his head, equally surprised.
"You come and dismantle it."
For some time, Moriarty had been in a depressed mood, and he didn't want to pay attention to Catherine, so he threw the letter back.
Helpless, Clausewitz could only perform his duties as secretary, opened the animal skin letter, took out the yellow paper specially made from bitter mulberry leaves, and read it quickly at first. After reading the full text, the old werewolf's expression changed drastically.
Even the hair on his whole body stood out.
"What?" Seeing the other party's expression, Moriarty asked directly.
"The Mountain of Heroes has restarted, and the Duke is going to have a 'battle for the throne' with Barbarossa!" Clausewitz gritted his teeth and handed the letter to the Lord.
"What!? A battle for the throne!?" Moriarty was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly took the letter and read it.
It turned out that just two months ago, the original king of Krorod passed away suddenly, and the news was still blocked in Behemoth. It has not been reported outside. Now, Duke Medamoah is about to meet the old king's eldest son, Prince Barbarossa.
Fighting for the supreme throne of the United Kingdom. But Barbarossa not only has amazing strength as a fifteenth-level Behemoth Knight, but also has many strong men under his command, so Yekaterina suddenly sent an urgent letter to Moriarty, hoping to ask for help.
.
"She is well-informed and knows that I am back."
Putting down the letter, Moriarty glanced at Clausewitz seemingly intentionally. The latter shrugged innocently.
There are a large number of wolf cavalry mercenaries in Rheinburg. Although they provide a lot of combat help, some information is definitely easy to leak out. What's more, the return of Moriarty and the heavy intelligence of killing the holy ascetic monks in the first battle will definitely
Passed back to Crowrod by "The Wolf with Heart".
Of course, Yekaterina's letter must have been authorized or at least approved by the Duke, otherwise the female war priest would never dare to take matters into her own hands on such an important matter.
"Krurod's 'Throne War' has always been known for its cruelty. In the end, only the victor will be left behind, and the rest will end only after all others are killed. Although the red copper mine jointly developed with Wolfsburg has always produced rich
, the cooperative relationship between the two parties has remained smooth, but it is not enough for me to participate in such a high-risk battle and help the Duke take chestnuts from the fire." Moriarty said in a cold tone after reading the letter again.
"Indeed." Clausewitz also affirmed this judgment, but then changed his tone and said: "But there are two points that you should pay special attention to."
"You speak."
"First, the battle for the throne is related to the fate of Clurod, and it will also affect the situation of the entire continent. Barbarossa has always been tough on foreign affairs and advocated the restoration of the native land. If he is in power, he is likely to take advantage of the situation.
Erathia was trapped by demons and the Church of Light revived and launched the Third Punic War. In this way, the balance of power in the human kingdom and the continent will be completely broken again."
"Second, according to Beamon's tradition, the winner of the battle for the throne will not only become the new king of the United Kingdom, but will also seize all the status, wealth, and subordinates of the loser. It is conceivable that if the Duke of Medamoah is defeated, then Mara
Miss Gretel will definitely fall into Barbarossa's hands, become one of his many wives and concubines, and be forced to bear offspring for her."
"So, whether it's public or private, please consider it again!" As he said that, Clausewitz knelt down on one knee with a solemn expression.
"…Get up, Old Crow."
After staring at the old werewolf for a moment, Moriarty finally said.
If you say something like this in the identity of the other party, you will inevitably be suspected of interceding for Midamoah. That's why Clausewitz was so frightened, and Moriarty had to hesitate.
But from a rational point of view, the two points the old werewolf said were truthful and well-founded, and they were absolutely not lies. So in the end, Moriarty no longer cared about what the other person was thinking in his heart.
"So, if I help Duke Medamoah win the 'throne war', what kind of benefits will I get?"
"Your Excellency needs to discuss this with the Duke in person. But at least, you can ask the Duke to promise to reduce or even end the harassment of the Erathia border area, ensure the safety of the Hurricane Wasteland trade route, and maintain the current peace between the two countries."
After thinking about it, the old werewolf said cautiously.
"Let me think about it." After a moment of silence, Moriarty nodded and waved away Clausewitz.
"yes."
Walking out of the room, the old werewolf sighed softly.
It would be unrealistic to say that what I just said was completely unselfish.
As a Behemoth, it really doesn't want to see Barbarossa ascend to power, let alone the outbreak of the Third Punic War. Because that would not only be a disaster for the human kingdom, but also a disaster for Crurod.
Especially now that Brakada's army has entered Erathia and the Holy Alliance is unbreakable, Beamon's reckless attempt will definitely be blocked by the southern mages and the human temple, and the chance of winning is slim.
"In the final analysis, Behemoth's glorious days have long gone. If we want to rise again, it's not yet time..." Shaking his head again, the old werewolf put away his worries and walked away quickly.
Only one day later, Moriarty made a decision and decided to respond to Wolfsburg's request for help and go to Crurod to participate in the "Battle for the Throne."
Naturally, for the sake of secrecy, Moriarty could not see anyone in human form, so he used the Feather of Transformation to transform himself into an ordinary-looking werewolf.
When he saw his master transforming his appearance so completely without any flaws, the old werewolf who didn't know the inside story could only sigh at the magic of magic.
Later, after handing over Rheinburg to Guderian, Moriarty took Clausewitz and a small group of wolf riders by land and traveled day and night to Wolfsburg.
The reason why the old werewolf was brought along was because of the special request in the letter from the female war priest, and it seemed that Clausewitz also needed to participate in the "battle for the throne."
After spending nearly a week bypassing the Fort Fort War Zone, where the battle was still in full swing, the Wolf Riders passed through the Tams Gap in the mountains and directly entered the Hurricane Desert.
As if sensing the secret tense atmosphere in the Kingdom of Crurod, the wasteland where thieves were once rife became eerily calm. The original teams of thieves, large and small, suddenly disappeared, as if they had collectively become a good people.
As soon as they entered the wilderness, the forward speed of the wolf rider increased again, and the state of the wolf warrior became more excited after a long journey, and it truly felt like going home.
It only took another day and a half for Moriarty and Clausewitz to arrive at Wolfsburg.
But before meeting Duke Medamoya, Catherine, who hurried out of the city to greet him, said anxiously: "Margaret disappeared two days ago!"
"What!?"
Moriarty was stunned immediately, his eyes serious. (To be continued.)
