Chapter 77 Rebellion
Chapter 77 Rebellion
After more than a year of construction and improvement, the base is now basically on the right track..
Most of the chores don't need to be handled by Sunan. The clay golem and three apprentices are responsible for it..
In addition to occasionally caring about the conditions of the magic plantation garden, he focused more on meditation, making magic weapons, and making potions..
Mental strength and skill proficiency are steadily increasing.
I thought that this situation would continue until he was promoted to the third level wizard apprentice, but what happened next broke Sunan's stable life..
Year 1251 of the Starlight Calendar, the Moon of Flowing Fire.
The principality's reinforcements stationed in Ranshuang Province were besieged by infected people who suddenly appeared from multiple directions during the annihilation of Yinling City. They suffered heavy losses and there were not even a single survivor left..
The disaster in Yanshuang Province was completely eroded, and the infected army spread to neighboring provinces..
The three marquises quickly mobilized heavy troops to station at the border to resist the invasion of the infected..
For a time, the entire southwestern direction of the principality was filled with the smoke of war..
chamber.
After reading the battle report in his hand, Su Nan frowned slightly..
“The disaster spread too quickly, and the failure of several military crackdowns was too unusual..”
“You really think so too." Key handed over a letter, "This is a letter from President Mu Zhuo, take a look..”
Su Nan took the envelope, opened it, and narrowed his eyes slightly..
The content of the letter was very concise. The general idea was that Mu Zhuo sent his own bodyguard, the lycanthrope Ota, to the Ranshuang Province to investigate the outbreak of lycanthropy..
As a result, when he got there, Ota discovered that the place where his own tribe lived had long been deserted, and all the tribesmen had disappeared..
He followed the traces to investigate, but accidentally discovered that a group of mysterious people were controlling people infected with lycanthropy behind the scenes..
Just when he wanted to continue the investigation, he was discovered by the other party. After a fierce battle, he successfully escaped at the cost of serious injuries..
After that, Ota did not dare to stay in Ranshuang Province any longer and fled back to Jinghua Principality overnight..
After learning what happened from Ota, Mu Zhuo immediately realized how deep the water behind the incident was and decisively terminated the investigation..
Out of kindness to Shining Collar, he then wrote this letter to inform Key and Sunan of the information..
“In other words, this outbreak of lycanthropy was indeed driven by someone behind the scenes..”
Su Nan put down the envelope and looked thoughtfully..
“What is the purpose of the mastermind behind this?？”
“Could it be caused by other countries? " Key said.
The Starlight Continent is not peaceful. Every year, wars break out between countries over territorial resources..
For example, the Cangjin Empire, which borders the Principality of Stars, has always been eyeing the Principality of Stars..
If it weren't for the fact that the Cangjin Empire had just ended the war and needed to recuperate, it might have launched a large-scale attack on the Principality of Fanxing..
Su Nan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's unlikely..”
“To be able to direct a disaster that affects several provinces, the mastermind behind the scenes must have deep-rooted influence in the principality. Other countries do not have this energy..”
Ke Yi also thought about it..
If other countries had this strength, there would be better ways to conquer the Principality of Stars. There would be no need to use such a method with huge consequences..
Even if you succeed in taking over the Principality of Stars by doing this, all you will get in the end is a mess..
“But if that's not the case, then who is behind it? "Ke Yi said doubtfully..
Su Nan said calmly: "No matter who it is, the mastermind behind the scenes must have a huge plan, and the movement will not be small. Now that the disaster has spread to this point, it is almost time for the other party to jump out.".”
As if to confirm Sunan's words, Keyi's secretary suddenly walked into the meeting hall in a hurry..
“Lord, there is new information coming from Jinyan City..”When he heard that it was about Jinyan City, Keyi looked a little more serious. He quickly took the parchment from the clerk's hand, opened it and read it carefully..
After reading the above content, Keyi's face had become extremely solemn..
He looked up at Sunan and said in a solemn tone: "The Marquis of Jinyan has rebelled."！”
Su Nan was slightly startled..
“Just this morning, the Marquis of Jinyan announced the independence of Jinyan Province from the Principality of Stars！”
“Earl of Storm, Earl of Frost, Viscount Blackpool and Viscount Quetzalcoatl responded one after another. Now they have raised the banner of rebellion and formed a coalition.！”
Su Nan's expression changed and he said clearly: "I see, it seems that the mastermind behind this lycanthropy incident is most likely the Marquis of Jinyan..”
Keyi had already figured it out by this time..
The Marquis of Jinyan launched a rebellion and used one province to fight against the other six provinces of the principality. This seemed very unwise..
But the time he chose was just right.
At present, Ranshuang Province is almost in ruins, and its army has long been crippled, so there is no need to worry about it..
Hongye Province, Baita Province and Hulan Province are facing the invasion of an army of infected people. They are too busy to take care of themselves and cannot spare any effort to deal with the Marquis of Jinyan..
The remaining Soman and Zizhu provinces are safe for the time being..
However, the comprehensive strength of these two provinces is ranked last in the entire principality, and together they are not as good as the Golden Rock Province..
Even if they don't deal with the Marquis of Jinyan, the Marquis of Jinyan will probably attack them..
In other words, his initial target is most likely these two provinces..
Taking advantage of the spread of the disaster, swallow the Soman and Zizhu provinces to increase their strength, and then plot other provinces..
Of course, it is also possible that the Marquis of Jinyan just happened to be involved in the disaster and was not the mastermind behind it..
I just think that the Marquis of Jinyan started planning to control the power of the entire Jinyan Province many years ago. It is really unlikely that he had no expectation of the situation at this time..
“You need to prepare early." Key said in a deep voice..
Su Nan also nodded solemnly..
Before the Marquis of Jinyan launches a war, the first thing he must do is to eliminate the thorny forces in the province..
After years of secret development, there are now very few noble lords in Jinyan Province who disobey the Marquis of Jinyan..
It just so happens that the flash collar is one of them, and he is also the one who dances the most happily..
It is foreseeable that the Marquis of Jinyan will definitely be the first to send troops to attack the Shining Territory..
Considering the worst development, the Flash Leader will most likely face a coalition of nobles from most of the Golden Rock Province..
The situation is not serious！
However, neither Keyi nor Sunan looked panicked on their faces..
The two of them have known for a long time that sooner or later the Shining Leader will face off against the Marquis of Jinyan..
The reason why I am working so hard to accumulate strength is to prepare for this time.
So when things really happened, the two of them had a strange feeling of relief that it had finally happened..
“Winter is about to begin in more than three months. The Marquis of Jinyan definitely wants to end the war before the heavy snow closes the road. I estimate that he will send a large army to attack us soon..”
“We must prepare for war immediately.”
