When the Cecilian armored griffons passed by the sky, Earl Yuriel still had the leisure to enjoy the view of the crow platform. This highland, which once had several sentinel towers and a small fortress, was one of the garrisons of Saint Sunil, but it had been destroyed by war. Among the scattered ruins, only the flags and equipment left behind by the defenders after the hurried retreat and the corpses of the crystal cluster giants were seen. The brand new flags were floating between these broken ruins, carrying a wonderful contrasting beauty.

The cool wind blew over, and there was some strange smell on the battlefield in the wind. Earl Yuriel took a deep breath and said with a smile: "The previous few days were really difficult, but fortunately the difficult days were finally over."

"We didn't encounter any resistance. There were only a few seriously injured and dying monsters in this place," said a viscount. "These achievements are probably not enough, right?"

"It's okay, we can gather these ready-made wrecks," Earl Yuriel said casually, "Our king should be very busy next, and probably won't have time to distinguish these small things."

"Our new king..." the viscount next to him said with a chuckling, then looked up at the sky curiously, "Strange, why are those griffons wandering around here all the time?"

"That should be the Cecilian griffin," Earl Yuriel looked up at the sky, "Are they here to say hello to us?"

The armored griffin hovered over the crow platform for a while, then suddenly shook its wings and flew obliquely into the distance.

Earl Yuriel narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, a kind of uneasiness finally emerged from the bottom of his heart.

He thought of Count Lucred, who was executed by the king.

"This is a trap"

Earl Yuriel roared in surprise, but a sharp whistle had already come from afar...

The crow platform was shrouded in an explosion like the sky and the earth cracked, with flashing constantly and clouds rising into the sky.

Wales stood on the walls of Saint Sunil, watching all this calmly, and after a long time he said softly: "He is really decisive."

And those other than him, those who stood on the walls and knew what was on the crow platform, the nobles who supported the king, the soldiers who guarded the city, and others who were left by Wales for various reasons, all stared at the terrifying scene in the distance with shock and fear.

The crowd exclaimed, and the city wall was in chaos. Someone rushed towards the king's direction, wanting to ask for further orders, but Wales raised the sword in his hand, and the voice of blessing magic resounded throughout the city wall: "Silent inner court nobles, stay guards, follow me out of the city to welcome Duke Cecil."

"Your Majesty!" An inner court noble exclaimed, "Absolutely not! They had just bombarded the crow platform, and they had just killed..."

"Do they know there are noble knights on the Crow Platform?" Wales asked calmly, "Do they know the orders I gave in Silver Castle?"

"Your Majesty, this..."

"This may be a terrible misunderstanding, so it needs to be clarified in person," Wales said in an unquestionable tone. "Anyway, the Cecils saved the capital and cleared the monsters on the plains. Their legion is outside the city and we must meet."

The king's last words indirectly awakened everyone present. The nobles of the inner court who were in shock and fear realized who the real initiative was, and those who were smarter suddenly noticed some facts from Welsh's abnormal attitude and smelled a terrible bloody truth that happened in the sun. After a brief confusion, they found that they had no more choice.

No matter what the truth behind the shelling that happened on the crow platform, they must now go out of the city to greet the Cecil legion as ordered by the king.

...

"The meeting was in the town of Mill, which was already ruins," Victoria ended the magical arraignment with Duke Bedwin, turned to look at Govin and said, "The Welsh and the nobles of the Netherworld have set out."

Gao Wen nodded: "We'll set out too."

His calm attitude even made Victoria feel an unspeakable fear, who couldn't help but say, "Aren't you worried that it's a trap?"

"Worried, so I'll take a tank battalion but I don't think it's useful. Wales is a smart man, and even more so with Bedwin Franklin."

Victoria was stunned for a moment, then her eyes swept over the Dark Crow standing not far away.

This terrible incident that happened in the sun was accomplished by a letter delivered by the Royal Shadow Guard. At first, Victoria had thought about why Bodevin did not contact her directly through magical messaging. After all, she had already arrived in the Saint Sunil area and reached the scope of magical messaging, but soon she realized that the guardian of the Western Frontier knew her very well. Bodevin knew that she would definitely not agree to this bold and extreme "conspiracy". Contacting in advance would only allow her to take action to stop all this.

Duke Bedevin, who was in charge of Ansu's business, may be like a businessman... he accurately calculated the greatest interests of the country, and then did everything he could to achieve it... This point, Victoria, who was always trapped in Ansu's old aristocratic barriers, probably could never be imitated.

Gao Wen had already walked outside the command post, and Victoria quickly regained her spirits and followed her, but before getting on the bus, the North Duke suddenly found that there were fewer people at the scene: "Where has that Miss Amber gone?"

Gao Wen walked towards the magic car parked in the camp and said casually: "She went to investigate something."

Deep in the camp, in a barracks tightly guarded by soldiers, a magic net terminal was buzzing. The printing device connected to the terminal was constantly spitting out pieces of white paper, with a large amount of text printed on the paper, as well as black and white pictures and detailed hand-painted insignias.

Amber sat next to the Magic Net terminal, flipping through the printed paper while a strange smile appeared, with three-point satisfaction and seven-point ridicule.

"There are so many... It's a big thanks to the fact that Wales was able to hold the city to this day by being dragged by such a group of people..."

...

The Cecil army divided a guard and went to the ruins of the town of Mill outside the city of San Sunil at the agreed time and place. Before they arrived, Wales had arrived here.

This ruin, which was almost the only remains, has no need for occupation and repair. The army of the Crystal Giant flattened it and demolished almost all its buildings and walls. It seemed that the only way to deal with it was to completely flatten and rebuild it.

The royal knights sent here cleared out the scattered monsters wandering around the ruins with almost no effort, and then inserted the Ansu flag on a broken brick.

When the rumbling cannons came from the direction of the Crow Terrace, the Knights stationed here silently. They had received the order that they should not leave the place without any incident, and if nothing happened in the Crow Terrace...

Their mission is to intercept and kill the returned nobles here.

Ansu's flag fluttered on the edge of the ruined town. The broken bricks and collapsed walls were filled with a desolate atmosphere in the sun. A silent knight order guarded the broken bricks and tiles. Walesmoon led the surviving nobles and soldiers who were loyal to him stood outside the town, watching the hideous and weird steel war machines sailing into this open land.

When we saw those rotating tracks, the steel armor with the shining shields floating, and the track muzzles that flashed coldly in the sun, Wales could clearly feel everyone around us getting nervous and heard several sounds of agitating their throats.

In fact, even himself was inevitably emotionally shocked when he saw those chariots.

The magic car escorted by a chariot in the middle opened the door, and Gao Wen walked out of it, and then appeared, Victoria, the Duke of the North who was wearing a white long dress and a cold and distant face.

The nobles and knights beside Wales were slightly turbulent, but no one made any more noise. Victoria just stood quietly behind Gauven, even though she knew very well what it meant to be standing by the other party after Gauven bombarded the crow platform.

She is fulfilling her original promise to Gao Wen in this way.

The atmosphere at the scene was subtle and tense, and an unspeakable awkward silence enveloped everyone. Of course, Gao Wen could feel this special atmosphere, but he just showed a faint smile and walked calmly to the new king of An Su in front of him: "We finally met safely, His Majesty the King, but the atmosphere here doesn't seem to be very good?"

"Because we may need to clarify a terrible misunderstanding," Wales said in response to Gauven's sight, and before the other party spoke, before another nobleman spoke, "we need to talk, Duke Cecil."

Gao Wen looked at Wales for a moment and nodded: "Of course."

The town has been destroyed, but it is not difficult to find a room that can negotiate affairs for the king and the duke. A solid chapel is the only building here that has not yet collapsed. After a simple cleanup, the chapel becomes a place for two people to talk.

Except for Govin and Wales, everyone was blocked outside the church, including the nobles and guards who followed the king, as well as the commander of the Cecil legion and Victoria who came with Govin.

The scarred wooden door of the church creaked and closed, and a ray of sunlight shone into the church through the broken colored crystal window. In front of the collapsed and broken statues of gods and pulpits, Gowen stood opposite Wales.

Gao Wen looked at the surroundings: "I didn't expect that the first time we had a serious conversation was in this kind of place."

"It's cleaner than Silver Castle," Wales said with a smile, "at least there aren't so many eyes here."

"But there are quite a few eyes outside," Gao Wen said, "I'm very curious, what are you going to do next."

"What about you? Have you considered what if this is a trap, if I just want to put you in an unjust situation and bewitch you from the crow platform, if I just want to use this to clear away dissidents and keep the throne, have you considered what to do in this situation?"

"Nothing to consider," Gowan looked at Wales, "for swords and guns came out of power."

Wales looked at Gao Wen in a little stunned for a while. He was stunned for two seconds, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

The new king laughed loudly in the abandoned chapel, smiling without any aristocratic demeanor, without any concealment, and even laughed out loud, as if he had never laughed happily once in the first half of his life, and they all accumulated until today and laughed together. It was not until a few minutes later that the laughter gradually stopped. He slowly straightened his waist and took a deep breath, with a smile still on his face: "Yes, yes... you are indeed such a person..."

"Our generation is all like this," Gao Wen unconsciously brought into Gowan Cecil's memory and sighed, "What about you, what's your decision?"

"Do you know, in the past nearly a year, the Holy Spirit Plain and the North and the West have been carrying out various reforms, and we have tried all kinds of things," Wales has calmed down and said slowly, "New factories, town management, new military disciplines, even new schools, new liberal institutions... All of this is challenging the old order, but the two dukes of Victoria and Berdwin have tried their best to promote them, because we all believe that these things can make Ansu stronger again..."

A faint noise came from outside the church, which sounded far away, but seemed to be getting closer and closer.

Wales turned his head and looked at the closed door of the church, turned around and continued, "But in the end, almost all reforms failed... The factory became a new means of gathering land, the military's teachings were almost ineffective, the new system was not promoted, and the school... the school was not built at all. The only change was that the royal nobles were divided into tit-for-tat reformists and conservatives, with constant quarrels and internal friction...

“But you know, this is not the only time Ansu works for change.

"Before you were resurrected, we worked hard many times in more than ten years, or even decades. Of course, at that time, I was far away from Silver Fort. Strictly speaking, it was my father and several Dukes of the Protector who worked hard many times.

"The Duke of Silas Loren has brought a restructuring plan to refer to Zitifeng.

“My father had considered establishing a parliament.

"The former Duke of Northland implemented the Kingdom Constitution.

“Duke Bedevin has implemented new business policies.

“All failed.”

The noise outside the church became more and more obvious, but this did not affect Gao Wen’s conversation with Wales. Gao Wen nodded slightly: “I know some of it.”

"I left the Silver Fort, but I was concerned about it," continued Wales, "I have been thinking for a long time, thinking about what has prevented the Kingdom from moving in a better direction. Are we not smart enough? But before Tifen implemented the new policy, their scholars and consultants were not much more than Ansu; they were our lack of enlightened nobles? But the king and every Duke of the Guardian were reformists, and the people who supported the reform in the aristocratic system always existed; we were short of money, food, and time? But in fact, there was not much difference between Ansu's start and when Tifen began reform.

“So what exactly are we missing?

"In the process of comparing with Tifeng, I vaguely found some keys. After the rise of the southern border, after we imitated your new order and carried out more intense reforms, encountered more intense rebounds and contradictions, I think I understood...

"The problem lies in the entire Ansu system with the king as the head, the system of feudal lords as the skeleton, and the land and serfs as the flesh and blood.

“I don’t agree with Edmund and Duke Loren’s approach, but now I have to say… they have done me a favor.

"Duke Cecil, do you know what the hardest part is if you want the change to go from top to bottom?"

Wales smiled and stared at Gao Wen quietly.

But before Gao Wen spoke, he had already expressed the answer himself.

"That's to overthrow yourself."

Wales strode towards the church gate, and when the noise outside had turned into a roar and shouting, he pushed the gate open.
