"Extra! Extra! The kingdom has declared war on Feysac! "
Klein, who had returned to Baekeland from Maygur Manor, sat in a carriage and listened to the paperboy shouting as he ran quickly on the streets.
Although he was already prepared, Klein still sighed after confirming that the war had truly erupted. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
The grudge of Sonia Island being snatched away from a key territory … The conflict between the colonies' interests … The defeat of the previous war … The economic decline caused by pollution control … Ever since the Grain Act was enacted, a large number of domestic farmers have gone bankrupt due to the impact of foreign food products … The extremely terrible living conditions of the people at the bottom of the social hierarchy … The widening gap between the rich and the poor …
The middle-class are blindly confident in Rouen's national strength, and they're eager to have a chance to raise their status … The conflict between the different political parties in high society has intensified, tearing each other apart … The king and his faction want a large-scale war … With so many factors added together, just from an objective and materialistic perspective, it's almost inevitable for Rouen to export war … Reality is the best writer … Klein jumped out of his previous position and reexamined the situation in Rouen from the perspective of a bystander. He discovered that the tides of the era had already formed and were surging over. Without the descent of a true god, there was really no way to stop it.
In comparison, he was more puzzled as to why the Feysac Empire was willing to initiate a war.
Even if the members of an ancient secret organization were members of the upper echelons of Feysac or the Church of the God of Combat, and were key figures who had the right to make decisions, it was impossible for them to act arbitrarily on such an important matter. And why would others agree to a war of the World?
Could it be that the conflict between the various classes in Feysac has completely intensified, and there's an urgent need for a war? Klein lacked sufficient understanding of the empire in the north, making it difficult for him to make an accurate judgment. But they had just won the war in East Balam and seized even more colonial benefits. There's no reason for their situation to be worse than Rouen's … Yes, the royal family, the Einhorn family, is in charge of the Red Priest pathway. It's understandable that they desire war, but there's no reason for the Church of the God of Combat to not stop it. As a member of the orthodox deity alliance, they lack the motivation to help Amon's brother advance to Sequence 0.
With this in mind, Klein suddenly had a guess.
Did Amon's brother notice that the Goddess has obtained the Uniqueness of the Death pathway and divulge this information to the Church of the God of Combat at the critical moment? And the God of Combat is a neighboring pathway to the Goddess, so it's impossible for "Him" to ignore this matter. "He" will definitely respond to an intense response …
Of course, it might not be done by that brother of Amon's. It might also be that the Numinous Episcopate's Artificial Death faction's angel, Heiter, had discovered the abnormality ahead of time under the warning of a conspiracy expert like Sauron Einhorn Medici. On the one hand, he pretended not to notice anything and continued setting up the probing. On the other hand, he brought in the Church of the God of Combat to make the situation worse and more chaotic … The Red Angel evil spirit is really a symbol of war …
If that's the case, then it's inevitable for Feysac to start a war. Furthermore, there's no way to mediate the matter regarding the Uniqueness of the Death pathway. At the critical moment, the God of Combat might directly descend, and a war of gods that hasn't happened since the Fourth Epoch would erupt …
For Feysac's airship fleet to be able to pass through the nearly hundred-kilometer area from the coast to Baekeland without being detected, there's definitely a Weather Warlock providing protection. Otherwise, even if they take a detour to a sparsely populated area, they would definitely be seen ahead of time. They would definitely be intercepted by Rouen's airship fleet … A Weather Warlock is an angel. Since the Fifth Epoch, there have been very few Beyonders appearing in wars at this level … After the Emperor's death, most soldiers don't even know that there are Beyonders in the various colonial wars … What does it mean for a Weather Warlock to take action …
"This is really a war that will sweep the entire world and involve all levels of society. Is this what Amon's brother wants?
When that happens, what side will the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, Earth Mother, the God of Steam and Machinery, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom choose? Will the conflict between "Them" that has been suppressed for one or two thousand years intensify because of this …
Earth Mother likes giants, and there are even Feysacians among her Blessed. As for the Feynapotter Kingdom, due to the split of Lenburg, Masin, and Segar, it has a deep-seated hatred for Rouen and Intis. The will of the royal authority and the divine authority will likely be unified. It's very likely that they will form an alliance with Feysac and attack Rouen and Intis from the south to the north. Of course, the countries like Lenburg and the Church of Knowledge that are in the middle will definitely stop them. Uh … Desi Bay is directly bordered by Feynapotter and Rouen. The south won't be peaceful either …
The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the situation in the Northern Continent would become abnormally chaotic. And regardless of which aspect it was, there was nothing he could do to stop it.
Even a Sequence 4 demigod wouldn't be able to exert any critical influence in such a situation that could lead to a war of gods. It would be pretty good if he could protect himself and the people he cared about.
Previously, when the Feysac airship attacked, the first thing Klein did was to arrange for Walter and the others to hide in the underground area that served as a wine cellar. Then, he "Teleported" to Baekeland University of Technology. At that moment, a bomb had already landed there. There were deaths and injuries. The only thing Klein was glad about was that his sister, Melissa, wasn't within the blast radius.
After Melissa rendezvoused with Baansen, the Feysac airship didn't stay for long. It quickly evacuated from Baekeland before he returned to Dawn Dantès's mansion.
Phew … Klein slowly exhaled and turned his head to look out the window. He saw that when the pedestrians on the street heard the kingdom's declaration of war on Feysac, a small number of them revealed looks of horror, as though they had recalled the air raid in the morning. Most of them looked confused and a little panicked. They wanted to do something, but they didn't know what to do.
They might not be able to truly understand what such a war would bring, but they instinctively felt that the peace had been broken. The future was chaotic and filled with the unknown dangers.
Klein retracted his gaze and looked at his valet, Enuni, who was sitting opposite him. From his eyes, he realized that he was also slightly at a loss.
With a half-smile and half-sigh, Klein raised his hand to rub his temples. He put away his depressed and helpless emotions and thought about what he could do and what he needed to pay attention to.
Regardless, with this experience and lesson, the king's faction has also launched a war as they wish. Before Rouen is completely defeated, it's almost impossible for Feysac to invade Baekeland again. It's safer for Baansen and Melissa to stay here … What I need to worry about is the shortage of food and all kinds of assassinations.
The latter isn't a problem. The place where Melissa and Baansen live and their own levels determine it. They won't be able to come into contact with important figures who can easily be assassinated, so they won't be implicated. Fortunately, Portland Moment's laboratory has just been set up and hasn't produced any results. It won't become a target that needs to be destroyed. As for the former, I can provide some "assistance" through Miss Audrey … Winter County, where the Holy Cathedral is located, is located in the northernmost part of the kingdom.
It's adjacent to Feysac, and it's the frontline of every war. Ma 'am Arianna might return there to help the military. Yes, "She" might also be sent elsewhere to protect the coast. After all, Baekeland's defenses are sufficient. The royal family definitely has Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts and angels. The three Churches most likely have hidden means … This way, my greatest reliance will be gone. At most, I'll receive a certain degree of help from the Churches and use some Sealed Artifacts …
Previously, I wasn't too worried that the return of the Red Angel evil spirit would affect me. Now, I have to be more vigilant in this regard.
Patrick Bryan knows that Dawn Dantès is equivalent to German Sparrow, equivalent to Death's Blessed. This was deliberately revealed by me, hoping to lead the suspicion to Mr. Aztec, Death Consul. And now, this also means that it won't take long for the Red Angel evil spirit to grasp this information …
The Red Angel evil spirit is only at a high level at the moment. Its actual level shouldn't have recovered to the level of an angel. There's no irreconcilable grudge between "Him" and "Me," and I don't have anything "He" wants. Even if "He" knows that Dantès is equivalent to German Sparrow, the chances of "He" directly dealing with me are very, very low …
Apart from directly attacking, what other harm will "He" bring after "He" grasps this situation?
Using this to set up a scheme or sell the information to someone who needs it?
What scheme … Who would need it …
Thoughts and names surfaced in Klein's mind, but they were quickly eliminated by him. This included Amon's brother and the Angel of Fate Ouroboros. From the Red Angel evil spirit's previous actions, "He" wouldn't come into contact with the people of Rose Redemption at the moment. And Amon's brother and Medici were mortal enemies.
Suddenly, a name appeared in Klein's mind:
"Zaratul!"
The leader of the Secret Order, Zaratul, the Sequence 1 angel of the Seer pathway who had gone mad and returned to normal!
According to Arrodes's feedback, this powerful and secretive existence had already left "His" original location was unknown.
Klein had previously guessed that Zaratul would come to Baekeland because of the law of Beyonder characteristic convergence.
The Medici, Zaratul, and Zoroast families are all working for the Solomon Empire. Even if there's no friendship between them, they must be very familiar with each other … Zaratul saw the German Sparrow in the foggy town. If he really wants to pursue something, he'll definitely target the crazy adventurer … Klein's heart stirred as he instinctively began to assume that Zaratul was in Baekeland and was searching for traces of the German Sparrow. He then used this as a premise to analyze other anomalies.
Almost instantly, Klein recalled something — the failure of Sharon and company's joint operation with the Sanguine.
Rose School is also looking for the German Sparrow. Will Zaratul, who received the corresponding news, cooperate with them?
Back then, the operation was almost a success. The person-in-charge of Rose School in Baekeland had to evacuate in a hurry. Clearly, he only noticed the problem at the last moment. This is something that's unlikely to happen when the Sanguine has prepared the corresponding Sealed Artifact. Even that duke is puzzled and puzzled. But what if it's the intuition of a Sequence 1 angel of the Seer pathway?
That's a good explanation!
Back then, Zaratul was sitting opposite the person-in-charge of Rose School in Baekeland?
During Rose School's frantic evacuation, they even deliberately left behind puppets to create moonlight and cleanse everything. Was it to hide Zaratul's existence?
Also, it's no secret that German Sparrow has a certain relationship with the Death Consul. Could Zaratul have spread his marionettes everywhere to sense if there's any power of death in Baekeland? Previously, when Patrick Bryan was holding the ritual, there was actually a marionette of Zaratul watching him?
If the Red Angel evil spirit has already sold the information to Zaratul, wouldn't returning to Böklund Street in such a chaotic situation be throwing myself into a trap?
Klein's pupils constricted as he immediately said to the carriage driver, "Let's stop here.
I suddenly remembered that there's something else I need to deal with. "
After saying that, Klein tensed up, afraid that the carriage driver wouldn't be able to answer as he continued driving forward.
Thankfully, none of this happened. The carriage stopped by the side, and Klein walked to a nearby alley with his valet, Enuni.
Right on the heels of that, he snapped his fingers in an empty spot, allowing the scarlet flames to emerge from his pocket and envelop him and his marionette.
He wanted to rush to Saint Samuel Cathedral as quickly and secretly as possible!
With a flash of flames, Klein and Enuni's figures vanished.
However, after he completed a jump, the flames he sensed suddenly vanished. All of them were gone.
A spacious living room appeared in front of him. There was an ordinary reclining chair, and on it was a thin, tall, young man of Southern Continent descent. He had good facial features, but he lacked the color of blood.
The Red Angel evil spirit, Sauron Einhorn Medici!
The Red Angel played with a ball of scarlet flames in his hand as the corners of his mouth curled up.
"You actually sensed it earlier than I expected.
"Heh, to play Flaming Jump in front of me …"
