Lord Wizard

Chapter 213 War Breaks Out

"The Frost royal family has committed treason. Immediately capture all members of their clan and spare no one."

Seeing soldiers rushing down the palace walls, Lin Meng immediately gave the order.

With the Frost royal family eliminated, he believed that even those lords loyal to the royal family would have to consider the consequences of continuing their rebellion.

As previously agreed upon with Nero and others, the generals of the Frost Kingdom will be transferred to the Aden Kingdom to quell the rebellion, while those from the Aden Kingdom will be transferred to the Frost Kingdom.

This will not only deepen the conflict between the two kingdoms of Frost and Aden, but also indirectly deplete their existing strength, laying the foundation for the rule of the Kingdom of Zichen.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The commander-in-chief was a newly recruited Grand Knight. After receiving Lin Meng's orders, he immediately led several battalions of men toward the temporary encampment of the Frost Royal Family.

"I'll go with them. There should be quite a few hidden Grand Knights in the Frost Royal Family. These few alone probably won't be able to keep everyone in the royal family here."

Nero handed several Ram bullets to Lin Meng and said.

"it is good."

Lin Meng took two Ram bullets from his hand, but kept one: "Keep this one for self-defense, just in case."

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"

Nero did not refuse. Instead, he raised his hand and waved the Ram bullet in his hand, then followed the large group toward the area where the Frost royal family lived.

Watching Nero's dashing figure disappear into the distance, Lin Meng smiled and touched the flame shield on his body.

Once he elevates his strength to the crystallization stage, and with the addition of the magic artifact Wood Heart, this top-tier defensive magic item that has accompanied him for nearly two years may finally be able to retire.

Then we'll find a way to promote Nero to a third-class apprentice, giving him the strength of a peak Grand Knight. With the addition of the Flame Shield, he will become a new invincible Grand Knight.

……

The destruction of the Frost royal family dealt a heavy blow to their loyal lords, who began to rebel one after another.

But most of the lords calmed down and pondered whether they could avenge the Frost royal family, or whether they should.

In short, although the Frost royal family was destroyed, the kingdom's territory was not quickly pacified.

At least after this wave of rebellion, the Frost Kingdom should enter a peaceful phase of gradual integration.

However, things were not as simple as they seemed. Aaron's arrival first affected the former Kingdom of Aden.

Those who were initially restless began to stir things up after news of Aaron's arrival was confirmed.

First, a prince claiming to be a wandering prince of Ad appeared, followed by a duke leading a rebellion.

At this time, due to the significant increase in the territory of the Zichen Kingdom, and the lack of sufficient troops, it was unable to quickly quell the rebellion.

The Zichen Kingdom swallowed up twice its own territory in one fell swoop, and the aftereffects on the Frost and Aden kingdoms began to erupt.

Not only is their own military strength insufficient, but they also lack officials to appoint to their territories, or they continue to use the same officials from the previous two countries, which will leave various aftereffects.

Lin Meng then issued another decree, dispatching the army of the Frost Kingdom to Aden to quell the rebellion, and Aden reciprocated in kind.

This barely stabilized the current situation.

"We were so focused on quickly conquering territory that we didn't consider whether Zichen Kingdom could swallow up Frost and Aden. Now it seems like we've taken too big a step."

Lin Meng didn't have much of a solution to this situation, after all, he was just a human being.

Even with immense power, the entire Zichen Kingdom covers more than seven million square kilometers. No matter how capable he is, he cannot manage such a large undertaking by himself.

"There's no other way. Sending people from the company would be too costly. We can only try to select some native inhabitants of the wizarding world to take up the positions. The most urgent task is to stabilize the situation between the two countries as soon as possible!"

Nero said to Lin Meng.

He now has a clear understanding of the current situation in Zichen, and naturally knows that it is because their foundation is too weak.

"Has Aaron reached that position?"

"You want to..."

"They see Aaron as their trump card, the one that can turn the tide. Once I completely crush this so-called trump card, I can naturally extinguish their hopes. All that's left is to slowly wear them down over time!"

Aaron was unaware that Lin Meng had already used him as a bargaining chip to intimidate both countries.

Only by completely crushing or even killing the beliefs they are so proud of will the so-called rebellion naturally come to an end.

"Are you confident?"

"Just a mist-manipulating wizard, easy to deal with!"

"Should we make some arrangements to turn this battle into an open challenge, so that the effect of Aaron being defeated can be maximized?"

Nero asked.

"There's no need to make any special arrangements. As long as we don't deliberately prevent them from watching the game, I believe they have the ability to gather information without any problem."

Lin Meng shook his head. Sometimes being too deliberate makes things less perfect. He should just let things take their natural course in the fight against Aaron.

"Okay, I'll get ready!"

Nero shared the information he had received: "The ship of the Ship of Suffering did not dock at Uriel this time, but at the port of Bailie Bay. Judging from its speed, it will probably take about ten more days to reach the capital of Frost."

"Alright, what about the group from the Flame Tower?"

"They should take another two months or so. According to the information we have, only two wizards, Stank and Mo Chen, have arrived. Stank is a liquefaction wizard. As for whether there are any others hiding, we have not yet been able to find out."

Nero continued, "The wizarding forces behind the Frost Kingdom have also sent a full-fledged wizard, who is now on the same ship as the people from the Flame Tower. This could very well lead to a situation where the three wizards join forces. Are you sure you can handle this?"

Aaron was lucky; just as he received the news from the Kingdom of Aden, the Ship of Suffering happened to arrive at a port near their Rita River.

However, the people of the Flame Tower were not so lucky. Not to mention the preparation time, they waited for the ship of suffering for nearly two months.

"A man can't say no!"

Lin Meng joked that there are already three formal wizards, and it would be normal for one or two more to appear when the actual battle begins.

Therefore, to ensure everything goes smoothly, Lin Meng needs to adjust his mental state to its best, or even break through crystallization before he can guarantee it.

"Then I'll go make preparations. Also, Camus's whereabouts have been confirmed; he hasn't come to the Constantine Continent. You can fight with peace of mind."

"Okay, I understand!"

Lin Meng nodded to indicate that he already knew.

In his eyes, as long as Camus didn't come in person this time, no one in the entire Flame Tower could be his match.

As for his second visit, perhaps even Lin Meng himself doesn't know the extent of his strength.
