Alien Knights

Three nights later, Domingo Manor.

This manor, formerly a wine farm, is only fifteen kilometers away from Muxi City. Last autumn, it was bought by a group of escaped Silver Ring nobles. It was repainted and became a famous "high-end entertainment venue" in Muxi Kingdom.

Todd, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain, looked at the nobles who accompanied him respectfully on both sides of the driveway, and sighed with emotion.

The scene of attending that banquet two years ago seemed to be still in front of my eyes. However, the eyes and attitude he faced back then were not as "friendly" as they are today.

"Your Majesty, we are almost there."

Huggins' reminder pulled Todd's thoughts back.

Looking at the guards in armor and following them on horseback, Todd frowned and asked him, "It's just a banquet, not an expedition. Is such a big battle necessary?"

While observing the surrounding situation, Huggins answered the king's question: "There are far more beetles hiding in the dark than moths gathering under the lights."

Todd said with a smile: "This sounds like what the old man said."

Huggins shrugged.

Todd lowered the curtains, remembering the battle plan of the old knight Cumberland.

The Muxi Knights prepared their troops and were expected to set off the day after tomorrow, marching in the direction of the North Stone Fortress; as for the North Island Knights, this army composed of Valkyries and pirates was given the task of attacking Silver Ring City.

At first, Todd didn't understand the aggression. There are many barbarian tribes gathered in Yinhuan City, and the strength of the palace guards and noble private soldiers should not be underestimated. The North Island Knights only have 110 members, how could they possibly compete with the army stationed in the city? He even suspected for a moment that Cumberland deliberately used the excuse of attacking Silver Ring City to weaken the North Island's power, so as to achieve the purpose of consolidating the position of the Muxi Knights.

But the old knight's subsequent decision completely dispelled Todd's doubts.

Cumberland actually came up with a plan like "He will follow the North Island Knights eastward with his private soldiers, and Hudgens will garrison the North Island Fortress instead of him"!

The captain of the Knights actually gave up commanding his own legion and followed a group of aliens to carry out a sneak attack mission. Todd didn't understand this unbelievable behavior at all and expressed his strong opposition.

Cumberland finally convinced the king with confidence and commitment.

Todd still vividly remembers the conversation that night.

"Your Majesty, I have no way to explain the sneak attack plan to you right now, but if everything goes well, the success rate of this operation is at least 60%. 』

"What about the remaining 40%? 』

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? 』

"I know I know! You said that nitpicking is the worst enemy of a good plan. 』

"If all goes well, our war with the Yinhuan will finally come to an end. 』

war.

Can it really end?

Todd looked at the ceiling of the car and let out a long sigh.

The speed of the carriage slowed down, and after shaking slightly, it finally stopped.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived."

The car door was opened, Todd stood up, stepped out of the car door and stepped on the red carpet, he looked up at the manor house in the night, without saying a word.

The three leaders who initiated the banquet were two Earls of Silver Ring and one Marquis.

The earl standing at the front saw the king's appearance and excitedly wanted to take a few steps closer, but was rudely blocked by the guards.

Todd walked into the mansion along the red carpet, looked at the brightly lit spacious hall and the extremely luxurious decorations, and said calmly: "Not bad, really good..."

The owner of the manor had a happy expression on his face, and he was about to step forward to introduce him, but was frightened by Todd's next words and hesitated.

"It's much more magnificent than the palace under construction in the city."

The nobles shrunk their heads, looked at each other, embarrassed and speechless.

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Todd walked into the main hall of the banquet surrounded by guards.

Famous wines and delicacies are dazzling, and noble ladies are rich in gold and gold.

The arrival of the king made the entire banquet hall fall into silence. The nobles stopped talking and the musicians also stopped playing. Everyone looked at the protagonist of tonight's banquet, waiting and watching anxiously.

Todd walked to the upper seat at the highest part of the hall, sat down slowly, looked at all kinds of beings in the space of thousands of square meters, looked at Huggins next to him, and said a word with a smile.

"Welcome to Muxi Kingdom. 』

The first thing that came out of the crowd was a relaxed gasp, followed by cheers that could blow over the roof, and finally, there were scrambling self-recommended voices.

"Your Majesty, I am the Marquis of Howells. I donated money to build a lighthouse in Muxi City last month..."

"Your Majesty! I am Baron Zakara Yas, and beside me is my daughter, Andrene, who is also known as the 'Flower of Roja'..."

Unlike the lively "grand occasion" in front of the seats in the hall, there were still some people staying there in the corner of the banquet hall and did not choose to step forward.

Some of them have low titles and little reputation, and they think they won't be favored by the king; some are arrogant and disrespectful, and look down on this emerging kingdom from the bottom of their hearts, and some... are special.

The red wine swayed gently in the glass, reflecting the faint light of the candle. "Viscount Zangnar" wearing a thick coat looked at the king far away at the other end and smiled.

Beside him, a girl in a princess gown was eating food that was almost as high as a hill, using an almost brutal way of eating.

Looking at the people not far away, pointing at the girl and saying something in a low voice, "Viscount Zangnar" coughed: "Nancy, pay attention to your demeanor."

"Nancy" didn't respond.

"Viscount Zangnar" shook his head helplessly, and lowered his voice: "Sabrina!"

The girl squinted at the speaker, and snorted angrily: "Elder Clarence, don't you think that you are more suspicious than me when you wear this thick coat in the warm spring?!"

Clarence touched his chubby face: "I don't want to do that either. The 'face changing' ability can only change my appearance, but not my body shape. Also, I've said it many times, in public, you should call me 'Father'."

Sabrina gave the other party a contemptuous look: "Old thing! I'm twice your age, why don't you call me 'Grandma'?"

Clarence sighed and said nothing more.

Sabrina stuffed the last piece of roast goose into her mouth, threw the fork on the table, wiped her greasy lips with a tablecloth, and burped: "I'm done eating, let's do it!"

Clarence shook his head and smiled, "No, now is not the time."

"Why?! You came up with the idea of ​​controlling King Muxi, and now you don't want to do it?!"

Clarence signaled Sabrina to look into the hall with his eyes: "I just turned around, and according to the "perception" ability, there are at least 20 "successors" staying beside the king, and now I am killing myself."

"Could it be that the rumors about the 'successors' of the Muxi Kingdom are true?!" Sabrina patted her stomach: "You should know my abilities, I don't pay attention to those 'successors' at all."

Clarence took a sip of the red wine, frowned and put down the glass: "I know. But I'm very interested in Todd Fisher. Think about it, a farmer's child established a kingdom in just two years. Isn't this something worth exploring?"
