The Queen Villainess Eavesdrops on My Heart and Won’t Let Me Slack Off

Chapter 118: Grand Duke, Times Have Changed!

Chapter 118 Grand Duke, Times Have Changed!

After experiencing the initial terror, the nobility of the Alliance of Free Principalities eventually recovered.

Although there are various blind spots in thinking and shortcomings such as arrogance, blindness, and greed in character, it cannot be denied that they are the best well-educated class in this era.

Most of these nobles have also experienced wars. After understanding the Queen of Eternal Night's resolute attitude, they knew that she wanted to use them to make an example of them. They were also ready for battle and had an insight into the situation.

No trace of large-scale legion mobilization was seen in the surrounding area. It was obvious that the Eternal Night Empress was preparing to carry out a small army invasion operation by the strong to deal with them as quickly as possible.

After all, teleportation formations are expensive. Teleporting hundreds or thousands of people is the limit. If you want to teleport an army of tens of thousands of people, the current Green Vines Empire can't afford it.

And with the support of the church, these nobles are not afraid of the Queen's single-handed raid.

The church promised that if the Queen of Eternal Night left the city of mystery and came over, the three gods would support a sacrifice, and invite gods or angels to come down to suppress the strongest force in the empire.

Although the promise may not be fulfilled, at least it gave the Alliance of Free Principalities the courage to take the first step.

They realized that their enemy was most likely to be the Night Guard who supervised the nobles because Roger also needed the battle to prove himself.

However, it is not ruled out that the military and sparrows will also intervene. The empire has always had a wealth of combat experience in teams of strong men.

Of course, the Principality of Fergus also has no shortage.

As the closest city to the Warcraft Mountains on the empire's side, there are a lot of active adventurer mercenaries.

Concentrating their wealth in each family, calling for large sums of money, they quickly recruited a large number of professionals, including two adventurers at the legendary level.

Calculating the strength in their hands, Grand Duke Fergus and the councilors felt that the sky had cleared and the rain had stopped, and they could do it again.

"As long as we resist this wave and apply for more assistance from the church, even Queen Eternal Night can't do anything to us!"

"That's right! No matter how crazy that woman is, she's just bullying her. She's an ant facing gods."

"Praise the gods, they gave us freedom and defended the sacred rights of the nobles!"

The atmosphere among the nobles gradually became more relaxed. The magic circle fully activated and the strong men constantly patrolling the castle gave them the confidence to persevere.

Soon after, someone started to suggest, "Grand Duke, let everyone taste your treasured slaves together?"

The Giant Slave opened everyone's eyes. You can bet that Grand Duke Fergus has more superb ways to play.

Everyone praised this proposal, and Grand Duke Fergus didn't take it seriously, "Okay, let's have a good night together!"

He is just a slave, he has already enjoyed it, and he will not have the urge to turn the bus into a private car. Wouldn't it be great to share it with his colleagues and get more ideas?

All the nobles showed smiles that men could understand.

At this time, a bird with long tail feathers landed on the window sill, bouncing around, and its beautiful plumage attracted the attention of a young nobleman.

He crushed the bread in his hand, kneaded it into the dough, and threw it out one by one. He said relaxedly, "I don't know what happened to the Night Guards. I'm looking forward to the expression of that kid from the Charles family when he found himself kicking the bucket."

The nobles laughed, especially the eyes of Grand Duke Fergus.

At Xinghan Palace, the Queen of Eternal Night was protecting gear, and everyone had nothing to do with him.

But now that he is on his territory, it's not necessarily that he wants to deal with that kid, at least let him make a big fuss and return in vain, but it shouldn't be too simple!

With this incomparably strong castle and the magic circle that cost countless amounts of money, I simply don't know how I could lose!

...

...

From the mountain peak of Fergus Castle, the Night Guards have already checked out the structure and defense layout of Fergus Castle and deduced the key nodes of the magic circle.

This kind of intelligence that cannot be obtained from the outside world under normal circumstances is now clearly presented in front of the offensive, reducing the difficulty of the subsequent offensive to an extremely low level. The most important contributors are the "scout birds" developed by the Secret Law Association.

Magic and technology collided and a miraculous chemical reaction was born.

The druid class possesses the magic to control animals and share their perception, but their animal companions have obvious magic fluctuations, which are used for reconnaissance on the battlefield. This, however, will arouse the vigilance of enemy professionals, and they cannot approach at all.

But these spells are not complicated. The secret method will crack its principle, and the bird's vision will be transmitted by radio, and then implanted with scientific detection methods such as infrared rays, sound waves, and electromagnetic radiation. Ordinary birds without any magical fluctuations on the surface can be the eyes of the Nightguard.

However, a keen magician and a tight magic circle would not respond to these ordinary animals. They allowed the scout birds to freely enter and exit the airspace of the castle and retrieve a lot of information.

Not only are the enemy magicians completely ignorant of the method, but even the night guards who operate the scouting birds also don't know that these birds are transformed through technological means, and think they are just alchemy products with particularly strong anti-magic detection methods.

The application of science and technology intelligence is currently only known to Empress Eternal Night, Roger, Frankenstein, and R&D personnel who will not have contact with the outside world in the short term.

Even Dean Hall at the suggestion of the Queen of Eternal Night took the initiative to delete the relevant memories. His credit for inventing the tape recorder must wait until later before it can be made public.

The old man is stubborn. He is loyal to the empire, and he doesn't care about his reputation at this age.

I heard that hitting one's invention can bring endless benefits to the empire. the Queen of Eternal Night also cared about his condition personally, and the old man also successfully got out of the blow she brought to herself.

In fact, at the age when he has achieved fame and retired from the world, he is still fighting on the front line. The mentality of "being needed" is his last need.

He carried the banner of the old sect. In addition to his long-standing cognition, his subconscious mind may not have deliberately played against the tune, and had the mentality of gaining more eyes from his most beloved disciples...

This is the same as children crying to get their parent's attention. Dean Hall has no children, and the most incredible pride in his life is that he has cultivated the disciple of the Queen of Eternal Night.

The Queen of Eternal Night talked with him in person this time, and she was not stingy about his invention. She still needed his cooperation.

In short, there are some secret methods. The longer they are hidden, the greater the advantage the empire will be able to gain on possible frontline battlefields.

This attack on Fergus Castle was just a small test.

The effect brought by this method is enough to amaze the Night Guard.

Even the legendary powerhouses would never have imagined that the methods of the Secret Society had become so powerful that the enemy's impenetrable castle seemed completely transparent to them.

With such a level of intelligence support, Fergus Castle only looks indestructible. It is no different from opening the gate and waiting for them to occupy it.

Every legendary powerhouse has reached an intense level in his profession and has extremely rich combat experience. From cracking the magic circle to digging the defense line of the castle, he has countless strategies in his mind.

"Within an hour...it's possible!" The one-eyed swordsman looked at Roger again. His gaze was different, and he rubbed his newly obtained pair of half-fingered gloves.

The space glove "Eight Arms" has one cubic meter of storage space, similar to the lowest-level dimensional bag.

However, glove-type space items have a unique advantage compared to items such as space rings, bracelets, or dimensional bags: the items they take out are directly in your hands, and you can also put in the things from your hands.

In other words, with this pair of eight-armed gloves, the one-eyed swordsman can seamlessly switch weapons during battle. Combined with his "weakness insight" ability, he can infinitely magnify the enemy's weaknesses, choose the most suitable weapon, and deal the most damage.

At the same time, it is extremely confusing!

Because he is a sword master, he gave up on defense and went for a warrior profession with an enhanced attack power limit!

Entering the equipment warehouse in the Chapter of Imbalance, he didn't choose a powerful weapon, but he fell in love with Baram at a glance. Thinking that this was the last piece of the puzzle to perfect his professional system.

With this piece of equipment, even if Roger didn't fulfill his promise, he still felt that he was a leader worth following.

Because he is rich and well-connected, he can get equipment that cannot be obtained elsewhere!

And the effect brought by the scout bird at this moment, although this is not the strength that Roger showed himself, it also shows that his connections can directly mobilize such new equipment...

Maybe it also represents the favor of the Queen of Eternal Night?

Anyway, in the Dark Night Guard, the future is boundless!

Many people have similar ideas to him. With new departments, new equipment, and the first battle, everyone's eyes are shining with fierce fighting spirit.

It's time to show high-end operations!

Roger sensed the commotion behind him, but he said without looking back, "Everyone, don't worry, let our birds fly for a while!"

He snapped his fingers and said to the technician, "Break the space blockade."

Following their operation, a bird landed somewhere in the castle without arousing the guard's alert and suddenly developed vomiting symptoms.

It seemed to be in great pain, and almost vomited out its stomach, but a ball of earthworms landed on the ground.

The body fluids of these earthworms are highly corrosive, they drilled into the hard rock and began to move towards a key node of the castle's protective magic circle.

One minute later, the teleportation prohibition function of the Fergus Castle magic circle temporarily failed.

The great magician who presided over the magic circle began to investigate the problem and found that it was just a small short circuit at one point of the magic circuit.

This is a small situation that is rare but inevitable. The great magician sent two magic apprentices to investigate and repair it.

The captain of the defense also knew that the problem with the magic circle would be fixed soon, so he didn't take it seriously after learning about it.

It only takes a few minutes to repair, and the magic circle looks the same from the outside. No matter how elite the Night Guard is, it's impossible to grasp such accurate information.

So there's nothing to worry about.

After all, if one wanted to crack a magic circle normally, one needs to use magic as an attack method or counter it ingeniously.

This kind of "accident" doesn't have any traces of a magic aura. It should be that the magic circle has been built for too long and there are some problems.

The defense of Fergus Castle is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, but Roger had already ordered:

"Each selects the key target to control and assassinate the strong locals. We will break through the center of this wave and make more flowers. In the future, everyone remembers to practice backstabbing!"

The Dark Ye Guards tightened their lips and nodded silently.

At this time, the method displayed by the secret law society is no longer to amaze them but to frighten them.

Grand Duke Fergus doesn't know how much money has been invested in the magic circle. If it fails, will he fail?

The precise coordinates of each point of the castle, it's all right, everyone directly teleports to the enemy to play assassination?

However, these operations were completed without alerting the enemy at all. Can you believe it?

With such a method, everyone can only be thankful that they are Green Vines people...

Otherwise, I'm afraid that someone will cut off his head while he's sleeping soundly, and he won't even know it!

But for them to complete the mission, such technical support is convenient enough, and victory is within easy reach.

Originally, he thought it was going to be a battle of the guts, but Master Roger was alone, directly cheated to open the whole map, secretly changed the attack power of the enemy's defense tower to zero, and gave them mythical equipment along the way.

With such poor equipment, isn't it a good time for a wave of ruthless and crazy tower jumps?

Who can refuse Da Shunfeng's abuse of vegetables?

The light transmitted on the field flickered, and the powerful man and Roger disappeared in place and entered Fergus Castle by taking advantage of the small gap where the magic circle failed.

The remaining Night Guards, led by Little Joey, waited for a signal from inside, and then entered the surface building of the Alliance of Free Principalities from the front.

...

...

Inside Fergus Castle.

After a lengthy meeting to discuss alliance matters and to arrange its defense, the nobles had already become tired.

The workload in the past few days has surpassed the last two months. It's time to take a good rest and wait for the news of victory!

The nobles have returned to their rooms and stood resting. They believe that they have arranged enough strong men.

Grand Duke Fergus felt that taking this step would be an absolutely good thing in the long run.

Compared to bowing down to that rampant woman, he will be the chairman of the Independent Alliance in the future, his status will rise a lot, and he will not have a father!

Humming a song and returning to his room, he thought about what entertainment program he would arrange for tonight.

He was exposed by that little half-blood demon at the triumphant celebration, and he had no interest for several days. Today, he finally decided to leave the Green Vines Empire. He felt that all the energy he had lost had returned.

After closing the door, Grand Duke Fergus suddenly felt a chill in his waist, and a dagger sank directly into his waist.

"Grand Duke, are you in a good mood?" A frivolous voice that Grand Duke Fergus would never forget in his dreams sounded.

"Roger Charles, why are you in my room? How did you break through my iron wall?"

Grand Duke Fergus turned his head with difficulty, saw Roger's side face with a relaxed smile, and his whole body became cold quickly.

Even this strong parallel importer has entered the room. Has the elite force of the Night Guards completely infiltrated the castle...

"Bronze walls and iron walls?" Roger whistled and pulled out his dagger abruptly, "Grand Duke, times have changed!"

The dagger was pulled out, and blood splashed all over Roger's body.

Grand Duke Fergus collapsed onto the ground shaking due to blood loss, his face still full of disbelief.

Roger's face didn't change at all. To welcome the future without the queen, he has already realized that his hands are stained with blood.

Human beings are too forgetful. Without blood, they cannot suppress the greed of certain demons.

He calmly tore open a magic scroll, retaining the vitality of Grand Duke Fergus.

He wanted this old man to experience the bitterness of betraying the empire to the fullest and saw that no matter how much he planned, it was just a farce before absolute strength.

Roger wiped the dagger clean with Grand Duke Fergus's clothes, sheathed it, and shoved his foot to open the door.

"Master Commander, the castle has been cleared." All the strong men of the Night Guard were waiting for Roger and saluted him respectfully.

An easy victory, but they are more heartwarming than the rest of their lives after a hundred battles.

Roger didn't answer right away. He walked out of the corridor and went to the balcony to look north.

The high mountains which seem to stretch infinitely, to where they meet the sky, are all in the territory of the empire.

He rubbed his fingers, still vaguely feeling the sticky blood, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Even if you fall into the night, even if you do whatever you can.

This is also the empire I want to protect!

"Raise the flag," Roger ordered.

Amidst the sound of the horn, the defense troops on the outer perimeter saw Joey leading the main force of the Night Guard to watch the wind and descend, and the flowery national flag of the Green Vines Empire fluttered in the wind on the top of the castle.

The Alliance of Free Principalities? It was a joke that lasted no more than two hours.

In the hourglass on the top of the mountain, most of the sand still hasn't flowed down.
