Hearing Mira Shalian's voice, Lin did not immediately remove his avatar. Instead, he waited for the princess's question.
When they met again, the princess asked with a sharp gaze, "Your Excellency, if Marquis Neumann had not attacked the magic tower at the beginning, would you have just stood by and watched?"
"Of course. The Tower Master does not intervene in the affairs of the nobles. I agree with this principle. " A lazy otaku would never be sympathetic when he saw trouble. He would definitely stay as far away as possible. Lin silently defended himself in his heart.
"Even if he attacked the town."
"Isn't Your Highness there? As long as you are willing to take action, those troops are just chickens and dogs. "
"Chickens and dogs? Haha, what a strange way to put it. But, when did Your Excellency discover me? "
"From the first day you came, I noticed."
"At that time, weren't you worried that I would have bad intentions? Or were you sure you could stop me? "
"Treating someone as an enemy because they have the strength to threaten me is no different from treating a man as a rapist because he has a weapon in his crotch. At that time, I didn't know your intentions, but as long as there was no hostility, I treated you with courtesy. As for the certainty of stopping you, I dare not say I have. But I am a person who is very afraid of death, so in order to protect myself and the place where I live, I will use all my thoughts and abilities to try to stop all external attacks, as well as all attacks that invade the tower. I don't know what kind of effect my preparations will achieve. It is precisely because I don't know that today is the result. So, regarding Your Highness's question, I won't say I have any certainty, but I will do my best to do it, especially when it is a matter of life and death. "
The man and the woman looked at each other for a long time. Then, Mira Shalian simply said, "I understand." Looking back, the killing field that was full of corpses had been cleared by the giant arm, and a small part of it had been cleared. Seeing this, she also made a decision and said, "Your Excellency, we will leave in a few days. It is time to put an end to this matter.
"Have you made up your mind to go back and inherit the throne?" Lin asked curiously as his heart for gossip was ignited.
"You know, not many of these people are serf soldiers. In other words, the nobles who came here all brought the warriors who were the backbone of their families, but now they were all gone. I don't know how many people died here. – "
"VbarMDCCCXXXI (6831)," Lin interrupted.
"… Well, this number is scary enough. I only know that if no one steps forward to take charge of the situation, this country will fall into an even worse mess. At this time, if I go back and be crowned king, there won't be too much opposition. "
"That's true. After all, the marquis is here as well. However, didn't I hear that there were still powerful officials left behind by the previous king? Were they also so unlucky as to be tricked into following us, only to die together with us? "Lin still had a deep impression of the analysis of the internal situation of the Falkland Kingdom a few days ago.
"The king is supposed to be the strongest person in the country to lead everyone. Even if they escape with their lives, they won't have any other opinions. "
In other words, it was fine if he agreed, but if he didn't, he would beat him up until he agreed. But thinking about it, from the standpoint of the Eldest Princess, since her identity was exposed, she might as well use it as political capital. From the standpoint of the Church and the Mysterious Lord, it would be shameful if their temple's warrior chief was suppressed by an unworthy aristocrat of a small country.
Therefore, Lin felt sad for those who wanted to override the royal power and intended to implement a republic system. This system was not unworkable in the Labyrinth World, as several elven countries were established in this way. However, once the human republic met a superstar expert, it would crumble and collapse, unable to withstand a single blow.
How strong was the temple's warrior chief, Mira Shalian? She could detect and more accurately digitize the energy content of each observed target, although this data could not directly represent the strength of the individual. Afterwards, Lin made a record of all the people who visited the Tower of the Great Sage. The Eldest Princess was far more powerful than the Society of Sorcerers' branch chairman, the Great Wizard who served as an inspector, and the countless adventurers who passed by and stayed here.
However, this was the first time he had seen someone with a divine authority. He didn't know if martial professions blessed by the gods innately had more energy stored in their body. Because there was no comparison and research, there was no way to know.
On Earth, one versus one thousand in terms of pure force was unimaginable. But in the Labyrinth World, one versus ten thousand seems to have reached the standard of 'powerhouse'. Of course, in the real world, before killing an army of ten thousand people, the army would first collapse and scatter.
Therefore, the so-called powerhouse here was closer to the level of 'in the middle of an army of ten thousand, there was no resistance'. Moreover, the powerhouse didn't have endurance and physical strength. Their life force could be said to have been sublimated to another level. If there were ten thousand people who dared to stand still and let others kill them, the powerhouse could kill them all.
And any commander who tried to kill the powerhouse with a sea of people tactic had to be sure that they were well hidden. Otherwise, if they were found by the powerhouse, they wouldn't be able to retreat safely after their subordinates were killed. It was precisely because of this that the upper echelons of power tried to find trouble with the powerhouse. Without the same or similar level of combat power, there was no corresponding right to speak.
Of course, if there were enough soldiers gathered into an army, it was still possible to threaten the powerhouse. But in the southwestern peninsula, the only ones who could gather such an army were probably the Mage Alliance temporarily recruited by the Society of Sorcerers. A small country like the Kingdom of Freund was definitely out of the question.
So, as long as Mira Salian stood out and revealed her identity, even if it was a small country, the nobles of the country could only agree to her coronation. At most, after the event, there would be a story of feigning compliance. Not to mention that Mira Salian was officially related by blood. She was the only bloodline of the royal family.
The chaos in the Kingdom of Freund was about to come to an end.
Returning to the tower, he prepared to inspect the accuracy of the Giant Palm Spell and the optimization of the process in collecting items. Lin suddenly thought of another problem. Wasn't the Eldest Princess's indifference to the kingdom's current state? She allowed a bunch of clowns to put on a farce. That's how things got to this point.
In the next few days, the focus of the discussion on the forum was unsurprisingly on the Tower of the Great Sage. The source of the information leak was, of course, not the Tower Master and his two disciples who almost never posted on the forum. It was also not the Royal Revival Army led by Mira Salian. They were busy preparing for their return. It was the group of townsfolk who leaked the information.
Spies from all over would, of course, not hide such a big incident from their superiors. It was also because of the large number of casualties and witnesses, plus the wide range of influence, that this kind of incident was even more difficult to keep secret. In particular, the few magical techniques that the Tower of the Great Sage displayed were even more popular.
The strategic level magic that could distinguish between friend and foe, and the magical arm that the tower condensed. There were many battle tactics and uses that others had not thought of yet. But as long as the first person did it and proved that it was indeed useful, then it would not be difficult for others to find another way and achieve the same effect. The forum was also discussing all kinds of possibilities.
As for the other group of people involved in this incident, those who were used as targets and test subjects to prove how dangerous the Tower of the Great Sage was now, the allied noble army of the Kingdom of Franks. Even though the casualties were heavy, but apart from the families of the deceased, the public opinion on the forum was on the side of the Magic Tower.
To the magicians, although the Tower of the Great Sage could now conjure six arms, it had not yet grown legs. No matter how powerful the Magic Tower was, it was only a war fortress, a defensive stronghold that could not be moved. No magician could carry the tower and run into the territory of the nobles to start a massacre. So, the nobles who went to their deaths and still wanted to stand on the side of the victims to gain sympathy, wasn't that quite laughable?
On the other hand, the other identity of the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Franks, Her Highness Mira Salian, was also made public. She was the chief warrior of the temple under the command of the Lord of Mystery, Klein, the highest military leader of the mysterious church in the southwest peninsula. There were only a few bishops in the southwestern region, and their status was even lower than that of the chief warrior.
As if to prove the importance of this position, all the forces of the mysterious church in the southwest peninsula were gathered in the Kingdom of Franks and were under her command. In a short period of time, the royal family's power leaped to become the strongest party, and they were even able to challenge the allied army formed by the other factions alone. Perhaps they did not have many people, but these people were strong enough.
Within the kingdom, there were still some nobles who were dissatisfied with this and proposed that the eldest princess attack the Tower of the Great Sage to avenge their children in exchange for the recognition of the crown.
This princess did not respond and only visited the noble the next day. Another day later, the title of nobility was changed, and the person in charge of the family changed as well.
In response to all the noise within and outside the kingdom, this princess did not care about the rules of the game between the nobles, nor did she care about political exchanges and concessions. She just directly displayed her military power and displayed her dominance to the extreme.
Until the day of the coronation, all the nobles in the kingdom, whether in person or on behalf of the nobles, were present. No one dared to be absent. The few neighboring kingdoms and nobles also sent people to attend the ceremony and express their goodwill. They were afraid that the queen, who carried the power of the mysterious church, would have the idea of expanding her territory.
The four regional branches of the Society of Sorcerers also sent people to attend, mostly for the sake of the mysterious lord. Although being on bad terms with the eight gods corresponding to the eight authorities would not hinder a magician's casting of spells. But in terms of the accumulation of individual authorities, there was no hope of further progress. Therefore, the mages usually maintained respect and goodwill towards those eight existences.
Among the attendees, the most conspicuous was the person from the family of the kingslayer. The current count attended in person. And the one who killed the former king, under the command of Mira Salian, who was still the eldest princess at the time, passed the title to her younger brother and found another place to retire.
She did not ask him to pay with his life, and even took the opportunity to eradicate the entire family, which was beyond the expectations of many people. However, the queen, who changed her name to Yulia III, did not seem to have any intention of investigating the cause of her brother's death, which made many people ponder.
In short, after more than a year, nearly two years of ups and downs, the Kingdom of Franks in the southwest peninsula finally welcomed peace again.
