A moment later, after finishing the secret meeting with the Songxing Secret Cult, Pomona thought for a moment and took out an encrypted crystal ball again to activate it.
For a moment, the crystal ball glowed brightly, and the image of the second prince Kain appeared on the other end of the crystal ball.
Pomona is also involved in this game of imperial power.
Although the four major families of the empire will always remain neutral on the surface, as a ninth-level powerhouse who wants to participate, it is just a matter of disguising his identity.
As long as they do not personally intercept and kill a certain royal descendant, the prince/princess who eventually ascends the throne will usually not delve into the responsibilities of these ninth-level people who once supported other princes.
If you are lucky enough to win the bet and the prince you support succeeds in ascending to the throne, he will be able to obtain a precious place in the eternal secret realm that opens every three hundred years.
It is a special secret realm that can only be used by the ninth level of the royal family. Only a maximum of five people can enter at a time.
Although it is ineffective against the ninth-level limit, any ninth-level being below the ninth-level limit can obtain the benefits of greatly increasing the progress of rule power control and clarifying the way forward.
Since the most powerful eldest prince and the fourth princess did not need the assistance of this 'unidentified' ninth level, he could only settle for the next best thing and choose to assist the second prince whose strength was closest to the ninth level.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness Kain."
"Good afternoon, Your Majesty, Dear Bing Jing, what can I do for you?"
The second prince Kain looked at Pomona with a little surprise. As a relationship of mutual use, this person would rarely contact him.
"Yes, how can I help you?"
Pomona nodded and asked his question.
"help……"
On the other side of the crystal ball, Kain thought for a while.
"The intensity of the recent conflict between my imperial brother and my fourth sister has begun to increase, and some tentative wars are likely to follow. If possible, I hope to obtain some manpower support.
Also, at the critical moment, I hope you can take action secretly to help me get rid of the people around me who are watching me. I want to try again to see if I can break through."
"no problem."
Pomona nodded. If the two candidates for the throne went to war, then the royal family's attention would be attracted more. It would be a good time for him to implement his plan.
"Also, have the three guardians behaved unusually recently?"
"The three guardians have not taken any special actions recently, but I am not sure whether they have any plans in private."
The second prince shook his head.
"I understand, if there is anything else you need my help with, just ask."
No longer hesitating in his mind, Pomona ended the communication with the second prince after some polite exchanges. He made up his mind completely and prepared to take action in the near future.
.
….….
Year 2465 of the Glorious Calendar, the middle month of the year, the 1st.
The two major interest groups, the eldest prince Ferdinand and the fourth princess Osvia, went to war. War broke out in strategic places such as Vissar, Baman Basin, and Black Leaf Plain, and many small nobles under his command were at war.
The remaining princes also took advantage of the chaos to make small moves, and the civil war in the empire that had been suppressed for a short time was likely to break out again.
After nearly a year, the two have basically integrated all the forces that can be integrated in the country.
Although the four major families remain neutral, the marquises are all contenders, especially since two marquises were 'dead' before.
Although they each have the back-up plan to renew their lives and resurrect, before they can completely restore their ninth-level strength, they inevitably need to spit out part of their original territory, and this part can just be used as a reward.
Both princes promised that as long as they win the final victory, the territories captured in the war will be redivided according to military merit.
For this reason, many small and medium-sized nobles below became red-eyed.
As long as the prince they support wins, they will all become the founding nobles and rise to the top in one step.
The stronger big families are temporarily holding back their troops, mainly testing each other, allowing the coalition of many small and medium-sized nobles to serve as cannon fodder to test each other's strength and trump cards.
At the same time, according to some unknown gossip, Ferdinand and Osvia themselves secretly had a brief tentative fight. Osvia was at a disadvantage for a while, but in the end there was no winner.
In such a situation, some conspiracies began to grow quietly.
.
….….
"What, Pomona was ambushed by a ninth-level being from the Songxing Secret Cult, and is currently in a critical situation?"
In Yuelin Castle, an urgent message for help was suddenly received, and Duke Carlot couldn't help but be a little surprised.
When he learned the news, his first reaction was that the other party was planning to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
The opponent's attack cannot be without purpose, especially between ninth-level professionals. Without sufficient reasons to support it, they will not easily start a war.
The target of the Songxing Secret Cult is probably Fiona.
And now the ninth-level guardian of the family is closely protecting Fiona. He is the only ninth-level guardian who can move freely now.
However, the call for help cannot be faked after all.
Just in case, Carrot first contacted the ninth level of the Alfred family, informing them to be more vigilant in the near future and be careful of the conspiracy of the Songxing Secret Cult. At the same time, he activated the highest level of protection of Yuelin Castle. Then he followed the space
The coordinates open the channel and prepare to go to support Pomona.
When he actually arrived at the battlefield, the first thing that caught Carrot's eyes was a huge, ghostly green strange magic circle.
At this moment, Pomona was trapped in the core of the magic circle by a strange green flame. The steaming green flames enveloped him in layers like a big cocoon, and no matter how crazy he attacked, he could not break free.
Around the magic circle, a group of weird pagan cultists wearing black robes and burning with green flames raised their arms high and formed a circle around the huge cocoon of green flames. They chanted weird songs with fanaticism on their faces.
The sacrificial text seems to be carrying out some mysterious ritual.
Noticing the Duke's appearance, a priest of an alien god floating in mid-air, holding a black stone scepter and wearing a bone-white bird-like mask on his head slowly turned around.
In the empty bone sockets, two groups of green flames stared at him like eyes.
The strange scene in front of him made Carrot's heart sink slightly.
Facing his arrival, the enemy did not show any panic or fear, and was obviously well prepared.
However, Pomona has now fallen into the hands of the enemy. Even though he knew that the enemy might be prepared, he had to attack. Fortunately, because he guessed that the visitor was evil, he also brought the family's treasure before coming.
His blue eyes narrowed slightly, Carlot slowly opened his hands, and a dark purple mini tornado surrounded by clear ice crystals emerged from his palms.
It was a treasure accidentally obtained by the ancestors of Olivendi from the [Life Forbidden Zone]. It was originally a natural giant terrifying eye of the storm, but in an unknown flash of light, it shrank into such a strange existence that resembled a strange object.
As the mini tornado emerged, the sky within dozens of miles suddenly darkened, and the biting wind and snow containing the power of rules blew up. The snowflakes were like water droplets falling into rolling oil, and the green surrounding Pomona
The flames annihilated each other fiercely.
And in the center of this blinding snowstorm, a huge tornado connecting the sky and the earth has formed, sweeping towards the magic circle surrounded by many pagans like a natural disaster.
