Ambition
Chapter 1275:Ambition
Since the red mist poured down from the top of the mountain, everything in the world seems to be covered with a veil.Marvin Peck thought he would feel as bad as being in a dusty mine, but by surprise he didn’t feel any discomfort.
If you breathe hard, you can even feel a hint of humidity and coolness.According to the devil commander, these mist contains the essence of life, not only will not cause any harm to human beings, but also have the benefits of nourishment.Only witches who specialize in their fight against them will be fatally countered.
This is somewhat credible, but at present, there is no harm except a slight impact on the line of sight.After a month, he was used to life in the red fog.
"Your excellency, the Lord of the Dome has sent."Just then, a guard walked into the study and said, "Now we are waiting for you in the courtyard."
Marvin nodded quietly, "Please wait in the same place, I'll pass."
“Yes.”
After the guard covered the door, Marvin couldn't help but smile.
That's right, dude.No matter how many times you hear it, it makes him angry.A month ago, when the devil crossed the ice to kill into the snow castle, he thought that it was the rumored end of the day, and he did not expect the other party to finally let him go.
And after “abandoned” the prejudices inherent, Marion found that the devil, who called himself the Lord of the Dome, was not incomparable to the imagination, and that he was even better at dealing with the Greys—at least the former would not turn the aristocratic dominion into nothingness.
The devil does not draw taxes, does not rob the earth, does not seize power, as long as they swear allegiance, they can keep everything existing, and they have the opportunity to get more, except that the means are slightly rude, but there is no other harm.In particular, after the Lord of the Dome handed over the three cities around the snow to him for management, he thought it might be good.
The snow castle is shaped like an island, easy to guard, and it is difficult for others to threaten his territory, and he is difficult to open up.I thought that the title of count was supposed to be worn for a lifetime, but did not expect that at the end of the day, it would take a big step.
He ruled the entire northern part of the Kingdom of Yongwinter, and he was already a well-deserved northern duke.
Marvin pressed his hand to the corner of his mouth, so that the smile was too easy to calm down.He closed the window and turned to go downstairs.
Yes, when the devil entered the city, he did kill dozens of guards and hundreds of people, but there is no reason for the undead in the war?The territorial dividing line between the nobles was not also determined by war.Now he holds the four cities, the guard team not only did not shrink, but doubled, not to mention the people, as long as there is food for them to live, after a few years can always make up.
As for those who argue behind his back that he chooses to submit to the devil because of fear, they should go to the gallows.
Entering the courtyard, Marion saw at first sight the messenger sent by the Lord of the Dome, and the great monster lying beside him.To be honest, he could not tell from the appearance that these guys were any different—unlike Hexzod, who were ugly and coarse, and did not know what manners and upbringings were.If it weren’t for the Magical Commander, he didn’t want to deal with the beasts at all.
“I don’t know what the Lord of Heaven’s commandments is.”
The other side took a stone from the riding bag and handed it to him, then opened the mouth of the blood and said in a bad voice, "You."Listen to it!”
The magic sound again...
Feeling the breath of the messenger's mouth, Marvin could not help leaning back, trying to press down on the bottom of his disgust, "I listen."
The stone flashed twice, and soon a familiar voice sounded out of thin air.
How does it feel to be the Lord of the world?I hope you have not forgotten your promise, Mr. Lord.”
"Certainly not, monsieur," replied Marvin, "I have always been ready to work for you."
“Very well, believe that a month has made your people accustomed to our presence, and it is time—I need you to assemble a team to assist us in building the camp, not in permandering winter, but in the kingdom of the wolfheart.”The number of people must be at least two thousand, of course... the more the better.”
Is this a hard worker to work?Marvin estimated that it was not difficult to get together from four cities, "wrapped on me, monsieur."
"I didn't choose the wrong person."There was one more satisfaction in the voice of the Lord of Heaven, “In addition, how are the weapons I gave you before?”Can you copy it?”
"This..." Maveen said in a disquiet, "there is no problem with it, but if you want to copy it, it will take time... I have gathered the best blacksmiths in the north, leaving them alone to create a part, but the progress is not ideal."I think it has to do with witches, because the blacksmith told me that the parts don't seem to be the work of ordinary people."
“I think so too.”Fortunately, there is no blame in the words of the Lord of the Dome, “But even so, you should be able to use it against the Greys.”This is my second order to you to send for the fort to stop the plundering of the wolf-hearted people, and I will hand over to you the other weapons seized.”
“But I don’t have enough knights—”
“Then go to the call!”The Lord of the Dome interrupted, “Don’t you like to expand your staff with this set?”Seize your territory and bring together those who are capable to do things for themselves.Don't be reluctant to make a price, if this thing can be done well, it is not difficult for you to be the king of eternal winter."
Marvin was trembling all over... The king of eternal winter, the name he once dared to touch in his dreams, has now come to himself in this way?He held his rapidly accelerating heart and tried to control his voice and said, "Follow your orders, sir, I will do my best to do my best."
"I want to see the results as soon as possible."
"I will not disappoint you."
The light of the stone disappeared.
“I’ll be back in a week.”
After the messenger said, he climbed directly on the flesh-winged monster, and his hands were raised, and he vacated.The latter uttered a strange cry, flapping its wings and flying out of the city, and soon disappeared into view.
Marvin, on the other hand, was covered with flying dust.
Damn it!He coughed and thought that if these demons acted like the Lord of the Sky, it was not expected to be spread out to be monsters from hell.
Returning to the castle, he immediately summoned the old bachelor—though the other party’s performance was rather bad, and he was pissed off the top of the wall, but he would not have a more reliable man for a moment.
After retelling the Lord’s request, Marvin asked, “What do you think?”
“Adults, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”The old bachelor excitedly held his hand, "from your father's generation, I have served the Pike family, the expansion of the power of the snow show has always been his desire to hang on his lips, now you have not only done the first step, but also have the opportunity to ask Yongdong, in any case, you must grasp it!" 」
“I think so too, but... do you think we’ll really win the Greys when we get some knights?”Marvin expressed his doubts, "The subtlety of those snow powders, you can see that imitation is basically impossible."And the number of devils must be limited, what should we do when we finish?”
"No, my lord, we do not need to be hard with the army of the castle," said the old master, shaking his head, "the Lord of the Dome has no intention of this, and its original words are "to prevent plunder" - as far as I know, the Grey Fort people's ranks are very scattered, as long as the weapons are equivalent, we can take the initiative by strategy!If they succeed in breaking down a few looting squads, they will inevitably be bound.In fact, when I first heard from you, I thought of a brilliant strategy.”
"Oh?"Listen to it.”
The old master attached himself to the duke and gave his idea in detail.
Marvin's face suddenly showed joy.
“It should be feasible!”He nodded his head, “In this way, our disadvantage has become an advantage.”Do as you say!”
