For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King Chapter 209

   Chapter 209 Ravenwood

  Although the alliance between Avazhou and the new regime in Blackwater Province was not widely publicized, it soon spread throughout the entire empire, and the lords everywhere were shocked by the boldness of the current leaders of Blackwater Province.

After usurping the throne of thorns recognized by the White House, instead of bowing his head to the bearer of the bronze crown, that person directly swept away the royal faction within the Rose Palace, and also took over the church in the Blackwater Province, ignoring The blockade of the Star Council... It seems to be completely out of the control of the three giants of the empire.

  If the empire was not fully mobilizing all matters concerning the expedition to Awa, and made such a disobedient act, the new regime in Blackwater Province would have been trodden by the legion of the empire long ago...

   This is the perception of the vast majority of the imperial bourgeoisie.

   Therefore, after hearing that the new regime in Blackwater Province had formed an alliance with Avazhou, their first reaction was that these Blackwater people were really crazy.

   If the previous actions can barely be regarded as a contradiction within the empire, then at this juncture of the imminent war, the act of directly declaring an alliance with an opposing neighboring country can be said to be blatant treason.

The "well-informed" citizens on the streets and alleys of Baijin City are all looking forward to the invincible legion of the empire to cross the border of Blackwater Province and beat the arrogant Blackwater barbarians who still maintain the vice of primitive ancestor worship. Falling flowers and flowing water, returning the land full of undead and curses to the rule of the empire.

   Even if most of them don't want to, can't or won't go to that damp and gloomy place in their lifetime.

   "So what did the royal family of the Riel Empire think? I remember that the two legions on the border of the Blackwater Swamp have not withdrawn yet. Wouldn't they go directly south to invade?"

  A gorgeous carriage pulled by four unicorns is now running on the official road leading to Jade Province. This official road, called the Duke's Avenue, has become extremely rugged due to the lack of maintenance over the years. Coupled with the unicorn's Benz speed that is comparable to a supercar, if this is just an ordinary carriage, the people sitting in the car will probably bump out even the internal organs.

   But obviously, this is no ordinary carriage. In other words, the people sitting on the carriage were not ordinary people.

  The silver rune swirling with the airflow floated on the bottom plate and tires of the carriage. Under the stability of the storm spell, the two people sitting in the car could not even feel any obvious vibration.

   Hearing the question raised by the woman in hunting suit beside him, he was leaning his head against the window, looking at the receding scenery outside the window, William replied slowly:

"There is a high probability not... Considering the close connection between the top management of the empire and the Moon Realm, at least in their core ruling circle, the news of my return should be known to everyone. Well, at least in a short period of time. During the time, they will not dare to directly attack the Blackwater Swamp."

  Otherwise, after the failed attempt of plane fusion with the Blackwater Swamp in the Moon Realm, the two legions of the Empire Chenbing on the border have no reason to continue to let their weapons rust there.

   "So this is good news?"

   asked Nezemar, who had been sitting upright in front of William like a student.

"Not exactly, haven't you noticed that the Blackwater Swamp area has been gradually affected by the Moon Realm recently? I estimate that they intend to use the power of the Void King to weaken the resistance force under my command, rather than using force to attack directly. , let the kingdom I rule in chaos, and then they will carry out the next plan."

   William replied.

   "But even if you were alone in the Blackwater Marsh, their fragile legions would be nothing to fear."

  Nezmar said immediately.

   In this regard, William smiled bitterly and said:

"You are exaggerating. The other general is not a fool. He will be so stupid that he will gather the army on the plain and let me blast it with a wide range of spells at will. With the current Blackwater Swamp, the military force that is too stretched to deal with the arrival of the moon monsters. As long as the imperial legion breaks up its troops into hundreds or thousands of teams centered on users of extraordinary power, constantly harassing towns and villages, and cutting off the supply lines of major cities, it is enough to supply the now fragile Blackwater Swamp government. Broken."

  Speaking of which, this tactic was pioneered by the Doomsday Watcher back then. When William was looking through the history books, he found that the Riel Empire more than 800 years ago was based on this tactic.

   They made their fortunes from this at the beginning, and it makes no sense that they would not use it now.

  If the other party can really pass the containment, blockade and the pollution of the moon, the current Blackwater Swamp government will completely lose the people's hearts. Then at the moment when the military force under Vincent disintegrates, the empire will launch a large-scale attack. At that time, even if William's personal strength is strong, he alone will not be able to extinguish the flames that are lit everywhere in the territory.

   But on the other hand, the other party would rather give himself more time to find a breakthrough, and also give priority to ensuring the expedition plan of Avazhou, so as to obtain the right to interpret the Eighth Holy Spirit Manifestation event. This shows that the other party is still very afraid of William when it comes to competing for the ownership of the Eighth Holy Spirit.

   At the very least, the other party didn't dare to take the first step to label William as a fake Holy Spirit and **** the first mover in this propaganda war—this was obviously what the church loved to do in the past.

   "Our current strength is still too weak. So we need new allies, and we must completely interrupt the other party's plan to expedition to Ava."

  Looking at the growing woods all around, William continued to explain.

   "So... this is the purpose of your trip to Jade Province? Try to work with those forest elves?"

   After hearing William's words, Nezemar asked hesitantly.

  William had a mysterious expression on his face when he heard this, shook his head slightly and said:

   "That's just one of the purposes."

   Actually, the matter of going to Jade Province was the result of discussion with Remedios and others at the first meeting after William established a covenant with Avazhou on behalf of the new End Watcher.

  In the beginning, William proposed that he would personally go to Cuiyu Province for a very simple reason.

   One is because William learned from Remedios that the sacred tree in the Ravenwood Forest, the World Tree, has been reborn in this millennium. And this sacred tree, which contains extremely powerful vitality, can help him completely heal the wounds caused by the rotten lady.

  The second is that William wants to visit the Sealed Temples in Jade Province, and find the priests there to bring back the Holy Spirit Disc they kept. After all, according to his previous experience of fighting the Moon Realm Demon Army alone, this thing is really not too much as a trump card.

   And this is also the reason why William brought Nezemar on this trip—as an elite executor of the former Eighth Order, she is familiar with the locations of the Sealing Temples in various places.

   However, in the subsequent discussions, William's plan proposed by his whim was highly valued by all parties, and everyone was constantly looking for what this trip to Jade Province could do.

For example, in order to solve the growing blight crisis in the Blackwater Swamp, William can negotiate with the locals through this trip to Ravenwood to reopen the trade channel between the two regions and export the ore from the City of Thorns in exchange for food from the Jade Province. .

  For example, the empire's expeditionary troops are currently gathering in two ports in Cuiyu Province. After William healed his wounds, he might be able to visit there directly and bring some surprises to the garrison there.

   For another example, as the Emerald Province, which is also oppressed by the imperial taxation, William can test the character and aspirations of its ruler, Duke Sacred Tree. Maybe they can find an ally who is also willing to resist the tyranny of the empire.

   In short, after William casually suggested that he wanted to go to Jade Province, the second half of the meeting completely turned into a discussion on what to do in Jade Province.

   A certain wonderful atmosphere made William feel as if he had become the company leader he hated the most in the past. All he has to do is talk about a plan, and the people under him will demonstrate why the plan is feasible.

   This feeling made William not dare to say another word. For the second half of the meeting, he just sat in the chair of the meeting with a stiff and mysterious smile on his face.

   "But Holy... Lord Judge, is it really good to try to accept a terrifying race like the forest elves as allies?"

   Hesitating again and again, Nezemar couldn't help but ask.

   "I heard that the forest elves would even eat the flesh and blood of their kin, and make tattoos of people's souls and inscribe them on their bodies."

  William was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head with a smile.

   "It's been over a thousand years. I didn't expect this kind of misunderstanding to be so popular..."

   "Misunderstanding?"

   Nezemar asked suspiciously.

   "Yes, misunderstanding. Believe me, there can be no more peaceful race than the Sen elves in this world."

  William replied with a smirk as if he had thought of something funny.
