Chapter 1098 The Villain Succeeds

King Stanley is getting married again!

The residents of Blood Rock City got busy in the snowstorm. It was unknown how many times His Majesty Stanley had been married. However, the residents of Blood Rock City did not feel strange at all. They did not even care that the previous little queen Harriet was gone. Where, they only know that they will soon have a new little queen.

On a certain street in Blood Rock City, a tavern called "Howling Thunder" was bustling with people at the moment. In this cold season, even those as strong as the Griese hate going out. In this kind of weather, Sitting in a tavern with a fireplace, ordering a glass of ale and a fragrant grilled steak, and bragging to your friends is the best choice.

With a "squeak", the wooden door of the tavern was pushed open, and the biting cold wind wrapped in dense snowflakes blew into the tavern. The strong men sitting near the door shivered subconsciously. After seeing the guests clearly, they said dissatisfiedly : "Rowell, you moved too much, and you took away all the heat in the tavern!"

The person who came was none other than Rowell, who had plundered the Principality of Xila before and returned early with the little girl he had kidnapped.

After Rowell saw the man, he subconsciously raised his chest and raised his head, and said triumphantly: "Captain Mullen, please don't call me Rowell, please call me Baron Rowell Owen, do you understand?"

"Hey! What a lucky guy!"

Mullen, the captain of the security team in this area, used to teach Rowell a lesson, but now... Mullen had to lower his head and call him "Baron Owen" honestly.

The reason is precisely because the little girl that Rowell kidnapped was indeed attracted by Stanley, and the new queen that Stanley will marry in the next few days was presented by Rowell, and he was rewarded with the title of baronet as he wished. He received the surname "Owen" as a reward from His Majesty Stanley. Yes, he, Rowell, is now also a noble baron with a surname!

A young man who had a good relationship with Rowell laughed and said, "Since Rowell has been promoted to a noble rank, why don't you treat us all to a drink?"

Rowell glanced at the man a little unpleasantly, and then said proudly: "No problem, I'm treating you today, everyone can drink to your heart's content! But I don't care about the money for finding girls!"

There was a burst of laughter and cheers in the tavern. The city was closed due to a snowstorm, and Grace was in short supply of supplies. This was because a lot of supplies had been shipped back from the Principality of Silla recently, which gave them the opportunity to feast on the drinks. The price was naturally astonishingly high, and Rowell was willing to treat him, which immediately won him a lot of applause.

Rowell was filled with pride in his heart. There is a saying that wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking at night in brocade. Now that he is full of ambition and plans to do something big, of course he has to recruit a group of confidants, and this is what he has grown up with since he was a child. The streets are his best choice. He is familiar with the people here, and it is easier to recruit some people.

War is coming...

Rowell sat on a chair with a glass of Thunder beer, and couldn't help but feel in a trance. He recalled the process of being received by His Majesty Stanley, and felt a bit like a dream.

Although His Majesty Stanley accepted the little girl he presented, he was in a bad mood and his face was terrifyingly gloomy. Several times, Rowell felt that he could hardly walk out of the throne room. Fortunately, in the end, he was lucky enough to become the A baron.

"If you want to gain more glory, go and recruit some people. The war that will allow us, Grace, to conquer the world will come soon."

When he thought of His Majesty Stanley's words, Rowell forgot his fear of him, and felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He wished he could go through life and death for His Majesty Stanley immediately and obtain the supreme glory.

"Hey! Rowell!"

Mullen came over and patted Rowell on the shoulder: "I heard that the entire raiding team was wiped out this time. How did you come back alive? Can you reveal some information?"

Rowell looked at Mullen a little dissatisfied: "Call me Baron Owen!"

"Okay, okay, His Excellency Baron Owen."

Maren looked at this guy who was so lucky with envy. He had worked hard for so many years and still couldn't become a noble, but this guy was inexplicably one step ahead of him. He was really pissed off.

"To be honest, I don't know what happened, and this isn't news you should ask about, right?"

Maren laughed and said, "Don't be so heartless. This is news that only you know. We are almost dying of curiosity."

"Okay, okay, I'll just try to satisfy your curiosity."

Rowell looked around, then lowered his voice and said: "After I discovered the little queen in Lakeside Town - oh, the little girl that His Majesty Stanley was about to marry, I returned early with the team transporting supplies. , I heard that this year’s blizzard disaster was more severe than in previous years, so the main force decided to continue deep into the Principality of Xila and increase the scope of plunder. When I returned to the border of Grace, people who were returning later told me that they had Surrounded the city of Sira.”

"Already surrounded the city of Sila?"

Malen glared: "With the strength of our Grace army, that city is still within reach? Why was the entire army annihilated?"

"That's what I thought too. After I came back and heard about this, I asked my friend in the military. That friend of mine is one of the top brass in our military. The information from him is very reliable. I'm just telling you. , don’t tell others.”

After Rowell finished speaking, he looked at Mullen. After being stunned for a while, Mullen suddenly came back to his senses and immediately looked like he admired Rowell very much: "I didn't expect that... Baron Owen, you are actually in the military. There are people at the top!"

Rowell enjoyed Mullen's attitude and gaze very much, and said proudly: "Of course!"

"Then what?"

"Then, I learned a piece of news... Just when we finished plundering Lakeside Town and the main force went deep into the Principality of Silla, that old bastard Palmer had already sent a request for help in advance."

"A letter for help? To whom?"

After Maren finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment and took a breath: "Illrus Empire!?"

"you do not say!"

Rowell nodded: "The Illrus Empire is different this time from the past. Originally, Solant and we had always had a tacit understanding, but who knew that Tang En, after coming to power, didn't care about the previous unspoken rules at all, this time he directly Troops are dispatched!”

"But even then, we still have an advantage and there is no way we will lose to the reinforcements from the Illrus Empire!"

Mullen still couldn't figure this out.

"I was also very strange, until my friend revealed something to me..."

Rowell's voice became even lower, and his mysterious look aroused Maren's curiosity. He hurriedly leaned toward his ear. Rowell whispered: "That's because the Illrus Empire sent a magician." Join the battle! There are also a lot of steel puppets at the same time!"

"magic--!"

Maren covered his mouth, looked around nervously, and then asked in a low voice: "This is impossible! How could the City of Silver allow magicians to join the war?"

"Who doesn't know that the Silver City is no longer neutral? They may have turned to the Illrus Empire long ago."

Rowell sneered: "It seems that even as powerful as Master Jean, he cannot avoid the temptation of power and wealth."

"That means..."

Malen took a breath: "Are we going to be enemies with the City of Silver!?"

"I'm afraid not."

Rowell looked enigmatic: "Even if the City of Silver has actually fallen to the Illrus Empire, on the surface Jean will definitely maintain that neutral stance. I'm afraid the reputation he has cultivated over the years will He won't break it easily, he still needs to use this gesture to gain benefits."

"In other words, the Silver City may send magicians to help the Illrus Empire, but it will not fully participate in the war."

"Yes, in this case, we don't have to be afraid."

Rowell said proudly: "Master Aldrich has helped us secretly cultivate a large number of wild mages over the years. If it weren't for His Majesty's plan - ahem, if they didn't have other tasks, all of these wild mages would have participated in the war. If so, the reinforcements from the Illrus Empire will be completely wiped out."

"Damn it! If I have the chance, I really want to kill all those despicable Illrus people!"

"Don't worry, you will have a chance..."

Rowell rolled his eyes, laughed, patted Mullen on the shoulder, and asked: "How about it, Captain Mullen, are you interested in following me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty promised me a baronetcy but no fiefdom. Aren't you surprised?"

"Why?"

"Because I need to attack and occupy my fiefdom myself."

Rowell chuckled and said: "The place I conquer belongs to me, and I can have a hundred private soldiers and lead five hundred regular soldiers, do you understand?"

Maren's breathing suddenly became rapid: "...you want to recruit me?"

"Let me tell you a secret. Your Majesty has decided to launch a revenge war against the Illus Empire soon. But now I have just been promoted to baron and have no one under me, so you will have this opportunity. If I have enough If you have time, this kind of benefit will not reach you at all.”

Rowell said calmly: "When I conquer a piece of land, how can I be stingy with my close men? At that time, each person will be rewarded with at least a manor, ten Illus slaves, and a hundred livestock!"

When Mullen heard this, he immediately stopped hesitating, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head to the guy he had bullied, and offered his loyalty: "Maren is willing to fight for Baron Lowell Owen!"

"Get up. Since you are my first subordinate, I will give you my last name. From now on, you will be called Maren Irving."

Rowell was extremely proud that he had acquired his first subordinate so easily. At this speed, he might be able to gather a hundred private soldiers before the war begins.

Hehe, when the time comes, he must be the first to rush into Alexis, rush into the palace, and snatch the legendary and extremely beautiful Princess Alleria!
