Why had William gone to Rhine City and caused a massacre?
He wanted to prove his own strength, as well as his resolution against the Iron Nation .
The assassination that was known by almost everyone was his proof of allegiance . It was the foundation of his cooperation with Nedrick .
The Iron Nation was causing trouble at the border, and it had created a tense situation . It felt as if they were about to attack . But this was all a deliberate ploy by the Iron Nation, just a delay tactic . Their desire to delay the war was greater than that of the Black Lava Nation .
Goethe Nasis needed to settle the rest of the aristocrats, and he also wanted the chosen ones to serve in .
While dragging time seemed to be beneficial to both countries, the more time the Iron Nation received, the more stable their domestic situation would become . With more military power, the Iron Nation would become even stronger . But if the Black Lava Nation disregarded some of their losses and initiated an attack at the current time, the results yielded would be better .
Of course, Nedrick knew what was happening in the Iron Nation, but he was not daring and resolute . He wanted to use gentle methods to settle the issue of the throne .
William, an outsider, had pointed out this secret . Of course, he knew that time was tight . If he could send his troops out, many unexpected things could happen .
For example, the unhappy aristocrats in the Iron Nation might get the courage to rebel .
In the black palace .
Nedrick looked at the sand table . He smiled subtly . “If we are able to bring down the Iron Nation, why does the lord of the City of Dawn think that I will give him one-third of the winnings?”
Renekton said in a low voice, “Considering the numerous chosen ones and his identity, as a neutral Lord, he will definitely not want land . ”
“Do you think that if 500 thousand chosen ones appear on the battlefield, they will be able to destroy a legion?”
Renekton said, “No . The chosen ones are like scattered grains of sand . They are no match for any legion . ”
“Even though they could revive after dying, I have observed them . Some of them no longer want to fight after dying several times . Their strength has also decreased . This means that they are cowardly . ”

“Then do you think that Marquis Chris will actually listen to him?”
Renekton hesitated slightly . He said, “No . But in face of the overall situation, Marquis Chris will be completely loyal to you . ”
Nedrick laughed . He laughed very happily . “A half-elf with a tainted bloodline? Why should I share my winnings with me? If I place the winnings on my territory, will he dare to send troops over to steal them?”
“My King, you are brilliant . ” Renekton knelt on the ground . His gaze was full of admiration .
William did not know what Nedrick was thinking . He did not care about whether he would hold up to their agreement .
He arrived at the home of a Count .
A young man dressed in a black, elegant robe was pouring tea and alcohol for him .
William drank the fruit wine and laughed . “Curry, you are a Count . If you do this, people would think that you are shameless . ”
Curry glanced at the female slaves, who were dressed scantily . He waved at them and asked them to go down . Then, he smiled . “Lord, I respect you like how people respect gods . It is not something that can be expressed through pouring tea and alcohol . I hope that you will understand . ”
“Curry!”
“Yes . ” Curry heard William's strict tone . He immediately got up and walked beside him .
William played with the wine glass . Suddenly, he said, “Do you just want to be a Count for the rest of your life?”
“Thud”
Curry gulped . He was touched and said, “I still want to be a Marquis…”
“Just a Marquis?” William sighed in disappointment and got up . But just as he was about to leave .
“Lord!” Curry suddenly knelt in front of William . He clenched his fist and said in a low voice, “I have 1000 soldiers under me . They are not very strong yet . I know that one's ambition is associated with how strong they are . ”
Then, Curry's eyes sparkled as he looked at William . “But I believe in you, Lord . If you support me, I will be able to stand at a higher ground and see even further . I believe that you will not allow me to just be a Marquis . ”
William sat down on the chair . He pondered . “Then what do you think I should make you do . ”
“Let me be your dog . If you want me to be a Marquis, I will become a Marquis . If you want me to be a Duke, I will become a Duke . But no matter what, I remain your dog . ” Curry crawled on the ground . His eyes were full of desire for power .
If he was not a true aristocrat, he would never know how satisfying it was to have power .
That was right .
It was satisfying!
It was a simple word .
But it could clearly represent everything .
You could obtain the prettiest woman in your territory . Someone who was a goddess in the eyes of others could climb into your bed at night . She would do everything she could to get you .
You could deliberately misinterpret things, and anyone whose position was lower than yours had to curry favor with you . They had to say that you were right . They had to admit that the deer you pointed to was a horse, if you said so .
You could behave unscrupulously . You were the king of the territory .
However, this power could only be used in your territory .
Curry wanted to possess greater power!
William laughed, and his laugh sounded like Nedrick . He used the tip of his foot to raise Curry's chin and looked at his eyes that were full of desire . He smiled . “Remember, as a dog, you have to understand that even if you become a King in the future, you will still be my dog . You are simply a dog with unfounded power .
“Though, it is difficult to be a King . However, you can at least be the most powerful person besides the King . ”
Curry's entire body trembled . He crawled on the ground and kissed William's shoes . He even seemed to be licking the dust off his shoes .
William kicked him away and picked his eyebrows . “Tell Marquis Chris that I want to see him at the palace tomorrow night . Ask him to come alone, I only want to see him . ”
“Yes . I will do it now . ” Curry crawled away . Only when he reached the gate, did he dare to stand up and leave .
When he walked out of this door, he was an aristocrat whom ordinary people were no match for .
When Curry first encountered William, he had discovered William's ambition .
Now, One year later, he found that William's ambition had rapidly inflated and only grown stronger, like the City of Dawn . It even rivaled the two human nations .
Curry understood something .
The half-elf prince had the support of Elfin royalty and the ambition of a human .
At least, Curry felt that if he gambled correctly, he would become a Marquis who was above many people and under one person . He would even have the chance to become King .
Curry also understood that if he did not grasp this opportunity, being a Count would be the limit for him . If he wanted to climb higher… it would be extremely difficult .
But he was ambitious . He had the ambition to continue climbing up!
Power!
It was something that captivated many people .
As long as one had power, they would be able to taste the beautiful taste of being powerful .
This was the main reason why so many people in power did not want to give up their power, even if they had become old and were about to die .
“From master's actions, it seems as if he wants to start a fight . He wants to obtain benefits from the war between the two nations . But what methods will he use to make the two nations fall into his hands?” Curry could not understand .
He also knew that he should not be thinking about this . His strength was ordinary, and thus, he was like a dog . He had to think of ways to trick Marquis Chris .
When William watched Curry leave, the corners of his lips curled .
The aristocrat system was not very good, but he liked it . He never had the intention to overthrow the aristocrat system .
“Since becoming an NPC, I have to always keep it in mind . I only have one life!”
William stood up and narrowed his eyes . “If I want to control my destiny, I have to possess power . ”
He clenched his fist . The power in his fist could cause an ordinary wall to collapse . He shook his head . “It's still not enough . I don't have nearly enough power . I can't even break through a city wall . What is this world?”
“What I want is not that simple…” William walked out and looked at the sky . No one knew how great his ambition was .
Perhaps…
His ambition…
Was as high as the sky?
Perhaps .
It was not so simple .
