Lord Wizard

Chapter 74 Target

"This serious mistake is a dereliction of duty on the part of our guard team. We request that the captain punish us."

Zuoqiu said.

"Alright, considering you've only recently taken over and aren't yet familiar with the situation, I won't punish you. But from now on, you need to get the guards in order. If something like this happens again, we'll follow the disciplinary regulations."

Lin Meng waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Captain!"

Zuoqiu Shenzhong said solemnly.

After Zuoqiu left, Lin Meng glanced at the newly hung map of northeastern Constantine, looking at the small area located between Frost and Aden...

This is the territory he now occupies.

"The Kingdom of Aden must pay the price for what they have done. The price... let them exchange it for their territory."

Lin Meng looked towards the area surrounding his territory.

Solent City, Viscount Evan.

The territory of Viscount Evan borders Winter City in a small area of ​​only a dozen kilometers, effectively isolating it from Winter City. And the city that separates Solent City from Winter City is... Carroll City.

"I never expected to come full circle back to Carol City."

I remember arriving in this world just outside the city of Carol. At that time, I was being chased by Churchill, a mid-ranking knight. If it weren't for Eileen risking her life to save me, I probably wouldn't have survived a day.

"It just so happens that during the battle on the grasslands, Earl Dawson assisted Marquis Heris in sending men to ambush me. Choosing Carroll City as my target for revenge is a kind of karmic cycle."

Thinking of this, Lin Meng made a phone call from the real world to Nero, telling him about his assassination attempt and his plans for Carol City.

Although the Kingdom of Aden sent assassins to kill him, giving him an excuse to vent his anger on the Kingdom of Aden, if he wanted to stop the Kingdom of Aden's wrath, he would have to rely on Nero, who was right in front of him, in addition to the "Light of the Sky" who was far away.

Using the power of the Frost Kingdom to challenge the Aden Kingdom from afar, the dual pressure forced the Aden Kingdom to refrain from making any rash moves.

If all goes well, once he takes Carol City, he can connect Winter City, Solent City, and the province of Lorraine into one.

By then, with a little more integration, his territory would be vast and his population abundant, making him a country within a country. No matter what the Kingdom of Aden or the Kingdom of Frost might think of him, he would have enough power to deal with them calmly.

"My lord, Lord Kidd has arrived and is requesting an audience outside the door."

At this moment, the guard outside the door knocked on the door to report.

"Oh, Kidd, his injuries have finally healed."

Lin Meng's eyes lit up.

A few months ago, Kidd was severely injured by him with a demonic object, and then he joined his ranks.

This was his first Grand Knight, so he valued him quite a bit.

Stepping out of the room, he saw Kidd, whose breathing had completely returned to normal.

However, Kidd looked somewhat terrifying at this moment. After all, burn wounds can heal, but scars can never be removed. The presence of these scars made the great knight look much more ferocious and savage.

Upon seeing Lin Meng emerge, Kidd respectfully gave a knightly salute: "My lord!"

"How's the recovery going? I still remember our battle."

Lin Meng smiled and said.

"My lord, there's no need to make fun of me. I only made the bet with you in a fit of anger. How could I dare to humiliate myself now?"

Kidd quickly replied.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fight Lin Meng, but rather that he simply lacked the determination to win.

He had already heard about Lin Meng's recent achievements; he had killed and captured two near-high-ranking Grand Knights...

Such combat power is comparable to that of a peak Grand Knight.

"Really not going to fight?"

Seeing that he had no intention of making a move, Lin Meng said, "Alright, then let's not fight. Since your injuries have healed, go to the Sunset Cavalry Regiment and become the cavalry commander. I'll have Amanda help you. It just so happens that I have an important task to give you."

"Thank you, sir."

Kidd bowed to Lin Meng.

During this time, he also learned about the various units under Lin Meng's command, and knew that the Sunset Cavalry Regiment was the unit he valued most. It was an elite cavalry regiment specially modeled after Marquis Alfonso's Silver Knights.

Lin Meng's decision to place him in this position fully demonstrates his trust in and regard for him.

After Kidd left, Lin Meng's five territories once again entered a state of war preparedness.

In particular, the new recruits from various places were all ordered by Lin Meng to be summoned for intensive training, and everyone had a feeling that a storm was brewing.

A month later.

The capital of the Kingdom of Aden.

Inside a magnificent palace, several people dressed in noble attire were discussing something.

"What is Leylin's intention in sending Zoro's body back at this time?"

A man in his fifties looked at a corpse being carried in by servants and said with a frown.

"Prince Yaso, according to reliable sources, after Leylin killed Sauron, he also captured the Baghdad Knight alive. He probably already knows that we arranged the assassination. However, he sent Sauron's body here alone, so he probably doesn't intend to completely break off relations."

A veteran nobleman who had been summoned by Yasuo responded.

After a moment's thought, Yaso asked, "Have any messages come from the spies in Solent City?"

"The last assassination attempt has already caught Leylin's attention. Now, the spies in Solent City dare not make any further moves, except to monitor the movements of Leylin's important figures."

"In the end, it's all useless intelligence. My brother entrusted me with the task of secretly retaking Solent City, so how can I betray his trust? Therefore, you must come up with a better solution."

Prince Yaso said with dissatisfaction.

Just then, an urgent report came from outside the palace: "Your Highness, urgent news from Solent City!"

"Come in quickly."

"Your Highness."

The guard who brought the intelligence knelt down and hurriedly said, "A scout from Solent City reported that Leylin gathered 5,000 troops three days ago and headed towards Carol City, clearly intending to attack it."

"Carol City, he dares! Isn't he afraid that the army of the Kingdom of Aden will raze several of his territories to the ground!?"

Prince Yasuo was furious.

"Could this be... the reason he brought Zoro's body here?"

At this moment, an old nobleman seemed to be deep in thought.

"What do you mean, Lord Cherokee? Are you saying... he sent Zoro's body here to make us hesitate to act?"

Another noblewoman hurriedly asked.

"Indeed, he now has Baghdad in his hands, and the assassination has become a hot topic. If the royal army intervenes in his war against Carol City at this time, he will inevitably report it to 'Light of the Sky.' That lord has just reached an agreement with the wizard behind our royal family, but we have secretly assassinated Lin Meng, which undoubtedly damages that lord's reputation. If the Frost Kingdom takes advantage of this situation..."

The old nobleman Cheroke stopped there and didn't continue.

But everyone already understood what he meant.

If it really comes to that...

The Aden royal family absolutely cannot withstand the combined suppression from the Light of the Sky and the Frost Kingdom.
