Hayden asked, "Who is the war on?"

"To us!" The military minister's sharp cry almost pierced the roof, "To us, the empire!"

The other ministers looked over one after another. Although their performance was not as abnormal as that of the military minister, they showed the same worry on their faces.

Hayden said, "Is His Majesty's life threatened?"

The Minister of Military Affairs subconsciously said: "No."

Hayden said, "Are they on the verge of Van Riel?"

The Minister of Military Affairs murmured, "No."

Hayden said, "Did I die in battle?"

The military minister's face turned blue and white, and he shook his head gently.

"Then," Hayden smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "what are you worried about, Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire?"

The Minister of Military Affairs lowered his head and did not dare to lift it up.

Hayden looked towards the other ministers.

The ministers stopped talking one after another.

The tense atmosphere just now eased down.

Hayden walked to the study with his head held high, and the guard opened the door for him in person.

Walking into the door, the smile on Hayden's face disappeared, and he silently watched Xi Luo sitting behind the desk expressionlessly correcting the paperwork.

The candlelight on the table danced, and the faint light opened the distance between the two.

"Your Majesty." Hayden knelt on one knee.

The pen in Ciro's hand was heavily stamped on the document, his face was gloomy, "It seems that you don't intend to give up Mundra."

Hayden raised his head and said, "Mundella's weight in my subject's mind is equal to that of Queen Ruososo's in His Majesty's mind."

Ciro suddenly got up and stared at him, the coldness in his eyes almost froze the candlelight, "Suoso never attacked the Royal Academy of Magic, never attacked Olivia, and never endangered the safety of the empire."

"I am willing to atone for my crime with military merit." Hayden's expression remained unchanged.

"Military merit?" Xi Luo said coldly, "Is the war your own business? Do you think your army is not the people of the empire?"

Hayden said: "I heard that the God of Light has declared war."

Xi Luo said: "You know the position of the God of Light in the Dream Continent."

"know."

"Once the war with the Divine Society of Light breaks out, the Empire will be in a passive position of isolation and helplessness." Ciro's expression was as gloomy as the night outside the window, "Although Shaman Lear had previously expressed the gesture of joining hands with the Empire to fight against the Divine Society of Light, But that is temporary. The hundreds of years of entanglement between the empire and Shamanlier will never collapse overnight, not to mention this opportunity to make things worse. Not only that, Biyag's loyalty to the empire is shaken in the turmoil, This means that when war breaks out, the empire will face the dilemma of being helpless."

Hayden was silent for a long time before asking: "If Mundra leaves, will the God of Light give up declaring war?" As a soldier, he is willing to fight at any time and under any circumstances, but as the marshal of the empire, he has to consider more factor.

Ciro said: "Mundra you are willing to give up?" There was obvious doubt in his tone.

Hayden said: "I will guard the empire until she is safe and stable."

"Then?"

"Then I will let go of the duties of a marshal and shoulder the duties of a man to his partner." Hayden looked straight at Ciro, "I believe His Majesty can understand."

understand?

How could he understand the feelings for Mundra?

He has no affection for Mundra at all, and all his affection is given to Soso.

Ciro snorted coldly, "The empire cannot be completely safe and stable."

Hayden said: "It depends on the perception of your Majesty and ministers."

Shi Luo looked at him deeply, his face was still tense, but his eyes were not as cold and severe as before.Apparently Hayden's answer pleased him a little, although it didn't completely satisfy him. "stand up."

Hayden stood up.

"The God of Light has a large number of priests, but most of them are stationed in various countries to maintain its control over the countries, and it is impossible to mobilize them to the battlefield. Therefore, there are not many people who can really mobilize the God of Light to fight." Xi Luo said slowly.

Hayden was taken aback, his eyes flickering.

Xi Luo said: "Emperor Shamanlier should be very clear that only the existence of the Banding Empire can maintain the threat to the God of Light. I believe he will not be stupid enough to help the God of Light."

Hayden relaxed because he already knew what Ciro was going to say next.

"As for Biagg," Ciro said, "I have already invited the first princess of the Kingdom of Biagle to come to Van Riel as a guest. I believe Hall will treat her well."

Hayden said, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Ciro squinted at him, "Atonement with military merits, that's what you said."

Hayden raised the corners of his mouth, his smile was as bright as Lie Yang, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations."

Siro said: "Since the God of Light will declare war on the pretext that the empire accommodates necromancers and drives soul-devouring beasts to attack the Pope, then I will make it a reality."

Drive the soul-devouring beast to attack the Pope?

This charge is too unreasonable and inexplicable.The empire was attacked by the Soul-devouring Beast not long ago, how could it be driven in a blink of an eye?But the more unbelievable the reason for declaring war, the more it shows that the God of Light will be hostile to the empire.

This battle is inevitable.

Presumably Shiro also understands very well.What he said to him just now was just to let him show his loyalty to the empire.

Hayden said, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Form an army of necromancers."

Hayden was taken aback.

The necromancer's status as a cross-street mouse has existed in Dreamland for nearly a thousand years.Ciro used to save the life of Otis before taking in necromancers on a small scale. Even so, it caused protests from some countries, thinking that the empire was being corrupted by evil necromancers, and if things went on like this, it would become a rotten empire of undead and corpses .Once the undead army is really formed, the protests from Dream Continent against the empire will inevitably become more and more loud.

Hayden said, "You really decided that?"

"The partner chosen by the Marshal of the Empire is a Necromancer. The most talented magician in the Academy of Magic is about to become a Lich, and the heir to one of the three major families of the Empire will also become a Necromancer." Shiro smiled sinisterly, "Do you think I'm still a necromancer?" Is there any other choice?" These almost represent the most backbone of the entire empire!

Hayden knew he was wrong and dared not say anything.

Ciro rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Do you understand what faith is?"

Hayden said: "Firm belief and awe?"

"Yes. Firm faith and awe." Xi Luo said, "The God of Light will control the beliefs of most people in the Dreamland, so the Goddess of Light is the ruler of the Dreamland. Humans love life, so they fear the God of Death, fear the God of Death, and hate the God of Death. The god of death, together with prejudice against necromancers. If you want to defeat the God of Light, the first thing you need to do is to break your belief in the Goddess of Light!"

And the best way to break beliefs is to build new ones, which will be a long process, and he has to watch as he goes.No one has ever walked this road before, so he must be more careful than anyone else, more cautious than anyone else.

Hayden was moved, "Your Majesty wants..."

"I don't want to go so fast." Ciro's eyes were burning, "but the current situation makes me have to do so."

Hayden pondered: "The Soul-devouring Beast is in the hands of Dro, that is, Rhodes. It may come in handy at a critical moment. If not, we can return it to the God of Death and use this favor to ask him to help deal with the Goddess of Light." .”

This is also his idea.

If he hadn't learned about the existence of the God of Death from Polly and the others, maybe Ciro couldn't make up his mind to use the Necromancer so quickly.After all, this is a big gamble.Even if the bet is won, how to clean up the mess is a worrying thing.

Xi Luo said: "However, the Light God Law restrains the magic of the undead, so it is not appropriate to let the necromancers enter the battlefield at the beginning of the war. Regarding the recruitment of the necromancers, it must be done in secret."

Hayden said: "Yes."

Ciro said: "I heard that Mrs. Nicole has left?"

Hayden smiled wryly, "Yes, but Mrs. Trinity is here."

Ciro said: "Oh?"

"She said she would train Mundra to become the new master of the Nafist family."

Ciro said: "That is to say, if I want to deal with Mundella in the future, I will not only face an imperial marshal who loves his wife, but also the entire Pfister family who protects his wife?"

"I believe there will be no such day." Hayden vowed.

Shiro is noncommittal.
