Time went back slightly.

North Territory, inside the army camp site.

“Her Majesty the Queen is really…”

Shaker looked at the letter brought by the crow in his hand, rubbed his brow, and said, “She is too impatient… After all, she is still a child.”

“In fact, even if our army of thousands reached the outskirts of Dragon City, we might not necessarily be allowed in, so practically speaking, it’s the same…”

Silver Eye, who was right next to him, said: “If the Duke of Black Castle is truly loyal, then there is not much to be said. If he has a hidden agenda, we can only hope that some arrangements will work…”

“Who would have thought…that those people from the South…would end up ruling the future Kingdom…”

Shaker heaved a sigh.

When the situation developed to the point where the strongest among the North, the Royal Family, and the Western Region were all internally consuming each other, and the Duke of the South swallowed up the East Sea Fleet, everything became a done deal.

Given the ‘silent agreement’ between the nobles on this continent, as long as the Duke of Black Castle showed enough tolerance—even if he just made the Queen a puppet and recognized the nobles’ ownership of their territories—he could easily take over the highest power of this country.

The armed conflict has come to a halt up until now, and what’s left is nothing but intrigue and the redistribution of the pie in court.

Everyone thinks that the Duke of Black Castle wouldn’t be irrational and wouldn’t disregard the overall picture.

But things often happen unexpectedly!

Thud!

A dark line sprang out from the ground and penetrated Shaker’s body.

“I… cack…”

Shaker fell to the ground, black blood overflowing from his mouth, and just like that, he died.

“Hm?”

A silver ring composed of mysterious symbols emerged in Silver Eye’s eyes. He retreated swiftly, a layer of quicksilver armor already formed on the surface of his body: “Out…come out now!”

Whiz whiz!

Strings of silver arrows fell on Shaker’s body, dissolving into liquid metal that wormed its way into the wounds, forcing out a small black snake.

Hiss hiss!

This little snake moved incredibly fast, appearing as a streak of black light when it moved!

It sprang back abruptly and perched on the earring of a bald man who entered the tent, turning into a piece of jewelry.

“Is it you…the Black Snake Lucas of the Black Ring School?”

Silver Eye’s expression became more cautious. “Is Immon planning to go to war against the Western Region?”

“Not against the Western Region, but against the Arrogant School!”

Lucas sneered: “Otherwise, why do you think the vicinity of the army camp is so quiet? Because they are loyal to the Duke Bard!”

“Sir Lucas, please make your move as soon as possible!”

An old man clutching a book appeared next to Lucas: “Our people have already taken control of Shaker’s right-hand men and have no problem controlling the entire army camp site. Afterward, we’ll also fulfill our pledge to form an alliance with Black Castle.”

Between love and power, the youthful Duke, after all, made his choice!

Silver Eye was taken aback as he realized that he had been underestimating Western Region’s Grand Duke and this Scholar.

Their brilliance had been concealed beneath the Queen and Shaker, and they had always maintained a low profile, but no one could deny Bard’s sovereign authority over the Western Region!

Shaker and Messiah’s close relationship completely threatened the position of the young Duke.

After Immon sent a messenger, without much consideration, he agreed to this plan!

“Tee-hee…the last time, your principal had come to save you. This time, I’m interested in finding out, who could possibly save you?”

Lucas licked his lips, his eyes revealing a trace of madness.

“Sigh…”

At this point, words were futile.

Silver Eye took a deep breath, and one by one, the Arrogant Runes on his body lit up.

Lord’s territory.

“Begin!”

Accompanied by Ruff and Yoen’s rebellion, a coup was instantly formed.

“Why?”

One after another, runes lit up on Ham’s body. This is a tattooing technique he learned from Silver Eye.

With this technique, along with some pointers from Su Lu and relentless practice, he had managed to reach the ‘Chanter’ stage of Arrogant Wizards, which is the second level!

Also, because Ruff and Yoen didn’t want to kill him but capture him alive, he wasn’t caught right at the start.

But even so, the situation was grim.

It seemed that the entire territory had been infiltrated long ago. At Ruff and Yoen’s command, those who remained loyal to Ham were either imprisoned or killed, leaving just Ham resisting alone.

“Why? Because this is an order from Grand Duke Immon!”

Ruff advanced a step with a cold smirk: “As long as we succeed, we can become hereditary nobles, this is our dream, haven’t you forgotten?”

“Dream?”

Ham gave a bitter smile, glanced at the silent Yoen, his voice turned stern, “So, you choose to become traitors, betray the school, betray the teacher?”

“Oh quit it, that guy only treats you as his student, what do we count as?”

Ruff seemed to want to vent all his discontent.

Then, in his roaring, the terrifying Language of Arrogance was interlaced in-between.

After training under Duke Immon, coupled with the use of a Marvel, Ruff’s abilities had increased significantly!

“So in the end…we still ended up parting ways?”

Ham’s heart was filled with bitterness, and with a complicated gaze full of worry, he looked in the direction of Dragon City.

It could be confirmed that that place had now become a trap!

‘Hope the teacher is okay!’

The next moment, huge flames had already appeared around him.

Dragon City.

The Palace, plaza.

There were hordes of soldiers and leading the pack was a group of powerful Knights.

Duke Immon of Black Castle stood at the forefront, giving a slight bow to Messiah, “Welcome, Your Majesty the Queen!”

“Thank you for all you’ve done for this country, Duke Immon!”

Messiah, seemingly not feeling the oppressive and terrifying atmosphere, performed a graceful curtsy typical of a lady’s: “But, I am quite worn out from the journey. May I rest first?”

“Of course, Your Majesty, please rest well with your attendants.”

Immon laughed and stepped aside, “But Sir Su Lu Pottery, please stay.”

“No!”

Messiah immediately refused, looking agitated as she transformed into a little lion.

“It’s okay, you go first, Messiah.”

Su Lu laughed, letting Messiah and the Knights leave, and surveyed the plaza.

“Ah, thousands of soldiers, many Knights…and you, Edward?”

“Lord Pottery!”

Edward stepped forward, his Fighting Qi turned completely golden, “I conceded defeat wholeheartedly last time, but this time, I have to challenge you again.”

“A Gold Knight, is cooperating with the Witch King to assassinate me here?”

Su Lu looked at the Grand Duke Immon he had never met before, “Why would that be?”

“Of course, it’s because… those like us… are too of an unfair advantage… ”

Immon sighed: “And you have no worries, you are not bound by rules… The previous assassination of Gran is a clear proof; your existence is a threat to this continent!”

“Hahaha…”

Su Lu burst into laughter: “What a joke! The things I did are far less than you know…”

His face turned cold, “Well…very well, it looks like we must do battle today?”
