The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 309: Carterburg's Changes, Lord Ren's Judgment

As for changing allegiance, I had already been prepared since I made that promise to give up everything.

That's what Alvin Root thought.

But after Qian Chongzhan left, the old soldier, who was already not young, still felt a little worried when he thought about the last few words he said.

The reason why he had to maintain a so-called fair and just trade node during the nearly six months of unrest, despite the invasions of bandits, rioters and other small warlords.

It’s all for the sake of that bit of justice in my heart.

In short, Abes categorized him as a patriot rather than a loyalist.

This kind of morality is just right, noble enough but not rigid.

And since Alvin is such a person, you have to make him change his attitude from remaining neutral and riding out the entire turbulent period to being loyal to only one person.

That would be very difficult indeed.

Therefore, his tense spirit completely collapsed after he witnessed the soldiers of the Three Colors Justice Army of the small kingdom of Wommza falling from the sky.

Among the five countries of Vakolia, the tricolor flag definitely only belongs to the small kingdom of Wommza.

As for the means of landing in the air, if you think about it carefully, it should be the king's griffin and the noble's eagle.

But the flag was too simple, with only the tricolors of Łomza, and no aristocratic or royal emblems.

Combining the above two points, we can draw a conclusion.

A new local force without the support of the nobility or the royal family has conquered the king's capital or the territory of a great noble.

This is certainly gratifying.

A northern country in the midst of division was not taken advantage of by its neighboring countries.

It's just that there is no royal family or nobles to support behind, which makes people feel a little terrified...

Could it be that the one who seized the throne was a general who was not of noble status?

When I think of the reputation of General Paddy, who killed both the alien species in the Eastern Wilderness and domestic dissidents, I feel so proud.

Coupled with the tragedies that happened to the adopted sons of his two buddies, Alvin could only feel amused and helpless.

The most troublesome thing is...

"Goddess of Luck, the dynasty has changed. What should I do..."

No matter what, he just wanted to admit defeat and surrender.

Yes! Very much!

But he and Lord Qian Zhongzhan had agreed to give away everything.

In his opinion, no matter who gained orthodoxy and power, it would be impossible to find out the location of such dangerous monsters as the Ghost Gathering in a short period of time.

The only one who can save Carterburg and liberate them in a safe environment is an adventurer as powerful as that adult.

However, the soldier who landed from the air put an end to his wild thoughts with the first words he said.

He said, "The earth is shaking."

"Ah...ah! The sky...is it burning?"

Snapped!

The old soldier, who had worked hard for half a year to maintain peace and stability, clasped his skinny hands tightly with those of the young soldier.

At this time, Alvin realized something belatedly.

So... that Lord Qian Zhongzhan is from the Xin Dynasty’s army?

This sudden relaxation and comfort made him, who was already extremely anxious, unable to calm down for a while, and he slowly sat down on the ground.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

"It's all right, I'm just happy that I don't have to shave my hair or beard anymore."

This is the truth.

I am approaching retirement age, so I don’t want to look old or decadent.

Ivan shaved his hair and beard every day to avoid showing any trace of silver.

But compared to these minor troubles, what made Alvin happier was that the safety of Carterburg in the future should be absolutely guaranteed.

Without the support of forces outside the borders, without the support of the royal family and the nobility, they were able to conquer the lands of the royal family and the nobility and use griffins and other means to airdrop soldiers.

Even the Lord Qian Zhongzhan who defeated the witch in single combat was one of them.

With such powerful strength, what is he still worried about?

----------

Using the power of faith in the mark bestowed by Marquis Ryan, the merchant Domino was able to escape from the Breland family.

And without encountering Abes and his group, nor encountering the proliferation and expansion of the undead dead trees, he successfully returned to the Marquisate of Rennes.

And the moment of entering, those deprived memories were immediately restored.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed outside, Ryan Hou Miracol was indeed a legendary figure with miracles.

For these spies sent out, he was indeed extremely gentle and used the power of belief to brand them.

It allowed a businessman like him, who was helpless and helpless, to successfully escape from the tide of undead creatures.

However, Marquis Rennes himself was in a very bad situation.

He could not leave the city of Hajime in the center of the Marquisate of Rennes.

He even spent a lot of time every day, using the power of belief to imagine and create a large amount of materials and even property from the void for the "loyal forces" surrounding the city of Hajime.

But in fact, from Lord Miracol to those who were given the mark, they all knew very well that those who were nominally loyal actually had their own masters.

Some people named captain, chief, boss, master, lord, sir...

They simply used the land created by Lord Miracle’s miracle as a place to rest.

A battle arena that provides them with a chance to catch their breath before crushing the rest.

I'll have to trouble Lord Miracle for this.

Using the method of creating something out of nothing, Lord Miracol in the center of the [Shrine] acted as a goose that laid golden eggs and a chef who made cakes, barely linking up those guys with different ideas, and together they established a territory that was roughly the size of the former Marquis of Rennes' territory.

As a result, Lord Miracol was given the title of Marquis of Rennes, which was only in name only.

These memories, along with a surge of anger, came to his mind and made his face turn slightly red.

In short, it is red temperature.

The power of belief cannot directly extend beyond the city of Hajime. Apart from the creation of belief, there is only the "brand".

Now that he has the brand, can he take advantage of his strength, speed, and the bonus of punches and kicks to rectify those hypocritical "loyal forces" around Lord Miracol?

No.

Because, after sorting out some memories, Domino also discovered that this feeling of anger had occurred many times. Basically, every time he returned to the territory of Marquis Rennes to restore his memory, he would get angry again.

The first time he got angry about this and went over to cause trouble, he almost provoked a war within the Marquisate of Rennes...even though they were all operating their own camps, greedily devouring the endless supplies, materials, and property shipped out from Hajime City.

That is to say, because of this, Domino has no memory of the past. After that, every time he returns and regains his memory, he will be angry, but he will never really take action again.

Maintaining the kindness and justice in Lord Miracle's heart and preventing them from being forcibly taken away is the best thing he can do as a branded person (referring to the role of a believer who receives the brand).

----------

Lord Ren, also known as Miracol, is a great being who possesses the power of belief.

After the city of Hajime was bombarded by a rebellious group of mages, he received a great gift from a mysterious bright green being.

This enabled him to bring the dead back to life three times, feed hundreds and thousands of people with a small amount of bread and fish several times, and make the lame walk, the dumb speak, and the blind see countless times.

But even he would be imprisoned because of the darkness in people's hearts.

Being almost omnipotent comes at a nearly equal price, and they are unable to stop disputes, so they can only use creations to satisfy their desires.

This is omnipotence in name only.

Producing food and medicine, Miracol has not responded to these.

The production of wood and stone can also be interpreted as Miracol needing some basic materials for reconstruction after the turmoil.

Producing refined iron, armor, swords, weapons, and more... the most prestigious specialty of the small kingdom of Wommza - light explosion particles, Miracol could no longer deceive his heart.

These things clearly exist for the purpose of preparing for war!

However, once they stopped, they, who had already received a large amount of supplies and combat subsidies, would inevitably launch a war disaster that would be a hundred times more severe than the national unrest caused by General Paddy's desperate mobilization of domestic soldiers.

Just like the early Three Kingdoms period when the country was divided into pieces, and the late Three Kingdoms period when there were only three forces left, the scale of the war was naturally incomparable.

As if they had sensed Miracol's helplessness, their demands became even more severe.

Some even directly asked him to create gold, silver, diamonds of various colors, or luxurious ornaments.

This has absolutely nothing to do with rebuilding after a disaster!

The most outrageous thing is that a "general" (self-proclaimed of course) who led a group of "soldiers" (basically bandits) actually gave himself a list of keywords and asked him to create a woman who met the requirements.

If Abes were here, he would definitely feel that it looked inexplicably familiar, just like the existence of the prompt word list or corresponding plug-ins or software when AI drawing was popular.

No buddy, are you treating this as AI drawing and alchemy?

If you want to deploy AI graphics locally, you need a good graphics card. And even a graphics card needs basic power supply and a little heat dissipation guarantee.

You don't give anything, but you still expect others to fulfill all your wishes?

Miracle certainly did not fulfill this requirement of creating life.

But what is sad is that Miracol is still extremely servile and humiliating...

Realized those people's needs for property.

Because the iron bird and the messenger from the royal capital gave him a huge shock, making him doubt whether he could really be called a miracle.

This hesitation almost made him lose faith in himself.

This has greatly reduced his creative ability.

In this situation, Miracol unexpectedly discovered that creating gold and silver was easier than creating food.

In order to maintain the stability of the Marquisate of Rennes, he satisfied the need to create wealth.

By creating wealth beyond requirements, they conceal the decline in their creative ability and the reduction in food produced.

----------

And it was under such circumstances that Miracol saw the person she had branded return one.

It was Domino, a businessman, who was sent to a place that seemed to be...

The Breland family.

They had written to me before to discuss joining the trade route.

Joining only the trade but not the power is not what Miracol wants.

In his opinion, even if it was a false peace, even if everyone was looking for him and devouring him greedily like they were hungry for food, as long as all the forces, big and small, in the crumbling small kingdom of Womuza really surrounded him, then he would die without regrets.

I wonder what Nietzsche would think if he knew that in some distant other world, there was actually someone who had realized the "I am the sun" idea of ​​the superman philosophy?

But now, Miracol doesn't know anything about superman philosophy, nor does she regard herself as the sun.

He simply called upon the faithful sealed ones whom he had not seen for some time to come forward.

I don’t know what the other party’s investigation of the Breland family is like?

----------

Without considering the overall situation, the only conclusions you can draw are wrong.

If you don’t know about the secret transaction of undead transformation between Nass and the Brelands, you won’t know where the Brelands’ undead wave came from.

If you don’t know about the transaction between the God of the Wilds, the believers of the Breland family and the power of dreams, you won’t know why the Breland family insists on hiding this power.

And Domino's accidental delay made it impossible for him to know that Abes and his companions had arrived here from Carterburg.

There was no way of knowing that the army of the royal capital had already arrived at the Breland family from the sky and was fighting with Nass's regular army.

Without knowing all of the above, what Domino brought back was just a simple sentence: "The patriarch of the Breland family has lost his mind. He has transformed all of his clansmen and servants in the castle into undead creatures."

Undead creatures?

Listening to the news brought back by the merchant in front of her, Miracol was weaving delicate gold wire crafts with her fingers while thinking about whether she could do something.

Because he didn't know the current situation, Miracol made a wrong decision.

"This is a good opportunity..." he said.

Originally, if Miracol, the goose that laid the golden eggs, tried to mobilize the entire army of Marquis Rennes for any other reason, they would immediately rise up in rebellion and attack each other.

"But they won't cause trouble if it's just because we want to conquer evil undead creatures."

"Because their morals are high enough, they can even obtain the territory of the Breland family as a reward. They have no reason to refuse."

"Domino, you did a good job. This will give me an opportunity to integrate them and exert a greater influence."

Miracol, the god in the temple, will try to find an opportunity to promote the justice in his heart amidst the fear and trepidation.

Therefore, this Marquis of Rennes's judgment on the current situation of the Breland family is.

"Order all troops to set out today!"
