Recalling yesterday's thrilling experience, Grand Duke Jonathan was still a little frightened.
He underestimated the strange methods of those gangsters.
Yesterday morning, before daylight, the assassins sent by a group of gangsters actually avoided the layers of blockade inside and outside the camp and approached the central tent where he lived.
If Mayfair Black Orchid hadn't had an extremely keen perception and sensed the murderous intentions of those assassins in advance, maybe those guys would have succeeded.
Afterwards, judging from the bodies, those assassins were actually the elite members of the Shadow Venom Assassin Alliance who had disappeared for thousands of years, all sixth-level [Shadowfall Watchers].
There are not many people, less than a small team.
But his infiltration ability is extremely strong.
Far superior to the same-level scouts trained by Archduke Jonathan.
These [Shadowfall Watchers] from the powerful assassin organization of the last era have impressive assassination capabilities.
If they really get close to the big tent, the consequences can be imagined.
This also shows how difficult and daring the gangsters are.
If Grand Duke Jonathan dies here, I am afraid that the situation of the entire Kingdom of Avalon will be rewritten.
The territory that originally belonged to him will be competed by several other archdukes.
The princes, brothers, and nobles would all swarm in like hyenas smelling the rotten smell.
Thinking like this, Grand Duke Jonathan's heart became colder and colder.
He had a bad feeling about this place and those gangsters.
Grand Duke Jonathan couldn't help but start thinking.
Is the victory achieved through such mobilization of troops still valuable?
Now that things have developed, it is not the church that has harmed him, nor the illegitimate son Carter who is holding him back.
It's his own arrogance.
Yes, all mistakes stem from arrogance.
If only he had implemented a prudent strategy from the beginning and at the same time restrained Carter's behavior.
If we don't indulge his wanton commotion, but spend resources to cultivate Carter, maybe everything will be different.
"Withdrawal?"
The number of bandits entrenched in the ruins of the great city of Lentax is increasing.
They came from all directions, in every direction.
Like ants in full force.
Many bandits were still grouping together behind the scenes and trying to attack the camp.
According to the analysis of the staff accompanying the army, if current trends are followed, the total number of these bandits will exceed 30 million within five days.
Based on the ratio of casualties, annihilating the opponent would cost at least 5 million to 7 million troops.
This is still a conservative number.
The battle-death ratios of both sides could reach 1:30 and 1:20 at the beginning.
Later it became 1 to 10.
Even if the opponent's combat effectiveness is incomparable with Archduke Jonathan's army.
However, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. When the quantity scale reaches a certain level, the battle-death ratio will continue to decrease.
Until the threshold that triggers the upper limit of quantity.
Because this is not an infinitely progressive process.
But no matter what, the greater the number of bandits, the more severe the losses suffered by Archduke Jonathan will be.
This is the most serious question before the Grand Duke.
Just when the assassination of Archduke Jonathan brought him back to his senses.
He suddenly froze in place.
If this is the case, there is a way to peek into his thoughts.
You can find that there are reminders constantly refreshing in his mind.
After a long time, Grand Duke Jonathan suddenly came back to his senses.
The expression on his face became extremely shocked.
His pupils sometimes dilated and sometimes contracted and he was speechless for a long time.
Until I was startled by Mayfair Black Orchid's voice.
"Honey, it's time for dinner."
Before I knew it, it was nightfall outside.
Grand Duke Jonathan turned his head, forced a smile and waved to Mayfair.
"I'm not hungry yet. I plan to take a look at the current situation map between ourselves and the enemy."
"Fei'er, you go ahead and eat. You don't have to wait for me."
Hearing his words, Mayfair Hei Youlan nodded meaningfully, but did not continue to stay where she was.
He turned around and left the big tent.
At the same place, Grand Duke Jonathan let out a sigh of relief.
He staggered towards the long table, his steps becoming unsteady due to the shock.
Finally getting close to the long table, he almost fell down on the chair, his chest heaving violently.
"The Chosen Son...Lord...Points..."
"That's it."
"We were all fooled."
"But I seem to be one of the lucky ones."
"From now on, you can get points by killing those citizens and their soldiers and citizens."
"good…"
His thoughts were ups and downs, and he learned many truths that he had once been ignorant of.
Including the concepts of chosen son and lord.
Even some of the secrets of our ancestors’ founding of the country.
Archduke Jonathan finally understood why those "bandits" kept killing them.
Because he is not facing a certain force, but a certain group.
However, as an "insider" now, Grand Duke Jonathan also encountered many constraints.
Not only can't he reveal anything about it, but there are strict rules restricting him.
But while accepting restrictions, he also enjoyed new rights.
This includes points and many privileges.
Archduke Jonathan is called "the flame of the old age" by the supreme lord system.
Get the power to compete with the lords and compete for the new era of the endless continent.
For him, this was definitely a turning point in fate.
"integral…"
"Let me see what I can exchange for it."
It took half an hour for Grand Duke Jonathan to accept the fact.
I was immersed in the panel that appeared.
I began to think about how to use this advantage to rise.
To be continued...
