Chapter 46: plot

　　　　 "Actually from this bandit incident, I can somewhat perceive the true state of this country..."
　　 Will cast his gaze somewhere in confusion, "When I was in my hometown before, I never thought I would face such a difficult situation."
　　 Although the Haval Empire has the weakest military power among the four empires, it almost controls the economic lifeline of the entire Western Continent, so that even the Wola Empire, the most powerful empire, has to respect its third.
　　Naturally, the living standards of the people in the Hawar Empire are also the highest. How can a large bandit group occupy the mountain and threaten passers-by?
　　 Heda looked at him deeply, slowly lowering the teacup in his hand.
　　 "Then what are you going to do?"
　　 "I don't know," Will shook his head, "but I always feel like before, maybe it will never be possible to solve the country's problems... it has to make obvious changes."
"It's very positive. I'm so glad to have a colleague like you." Heda smiled, "Don't worry, I believe that there will be a real change-and, isn't the establishment of the special security force also the beginning of change? "
　　 "...That's right, but I'm a little worried if it's too late..."
　　 Will still touched the back of his neck with some worry, "Although I am not very sensitive, the atmosphere in the capital has changed a lot recently..."
　　 The female knight smiled again.
　　 "You are not the first person to tell me this. In fact, Noyce, Rhodes and even Carlyle have revealed similar confusion before."
　　 She looked at Will who opened her eyes wide in surprise, and continued, "But it doesn't matter, even if our strengths are not enough, there is still a guide who is silently guiding us."
　　 "Yes, there is another reason."
　　 seemed to have guessed what Heda meant. Will finally showed a relieved expression on his face. He rubbed his head and showed a smile.
　　 Although he has only joined here for more than a year, one year’s time is enough for him to understand how this organization has grown under the leadership of that person.
　　 That person had never appeared in front of them for more than four years, but he seemed to be by their side all the time, guiding the way forward.
　　 This is the power of the backbone, right?
　　 "I'm so stupid, what do you worry about here alone? No matter what happens, the seniors will be here, and the adult is also...thank you, Hatta, thanks to you, I am in a better mood now."
　　 Heda smiled and shook his head, indicating that he would not be grateful, but in his heart he took another high look at the personality charm of "that person" who is only bound by one side, and at the same time he strengthened his decision.
　　 At the same time, the heart of the Shangcheng District.
　　 The place where the Duke of Hopps lives is a mansion near the palace complex. It is heavily guarded. Not only is it patrolled throughout the day by the royal guards, but also guarded by the duke’s own guards, which can be said to be dripping water.
　　 In addition, even when sleeping, there will be two strong guards near him.
　　 The superiors generally cherish this characteristic of their lives, and it is vividly reflected in the Duke of Hope.
　　In the duke’s mansion at this moment, the old man is banqueting several guests.
　　 "You are welcome, please enjoy."
　　 Hopps made a hearty look and raised his glasses to the two people in front of him.
　　Naturally, people who can be guests of the duke are not unknown people. Sitting on the left hand side of Hops is a burly old man, with an unangered and mighty look between his brows, which makes people fearful.
　　-Duke Tuttle, one of Falkenridge's most powerful men today!
　　 If Tuttle's figure only appears burly among normal people, then the man on Hops's right hand is obviously beyond the scope of normal people.
　　 He is two and a half meters tall, with knotted muscles, and sitting on the seat like a hill is a bit breathless.
　　Asaph, the current prince of Falkenridge.
　　 "Hopps, I'm not in the mood to accompany you with these imaginary things. Just talk about it if you have anything."
　　 Tuttle obviously had a bad deal with Hops, and he said coldly.
"Oh, don't you rush to judge, Duke Tuttle." Hops tasted the best wine without hesitation. "I know that the friendship between us was not very good in the past. But sometimes , To have a meal together will help bring the relationship closer."
"Humph……"
　　 Tuttle cursed secretly in his heart, why is friendship not good? It's obviously just torn your face, right?
　　Hopps and Tuttle both come from well-known families with a long history. Their families have always been enemies and friends, sometimes competing and sometimes cooperating. It's just that when they arrived, as the two successively reached the peak of power in this country, the contradiction between each other became more prominent.
　　In fact, if the struggle between them were not too fierce, the old king would not have the opportunity to secretly support the Marquis of Alec to the upper throne, leading to the current three-legged situation.
　　 Fortunately, the Marquis of Alec is not a loyal minister. Otherwise, the power in his hands might really make the king take back bit by bit...
　　 And Asaph, not to mention, as the eldest son of the king, he knew very early that the three nobles were nothing different from the cancer of the kingdom. It's a pity that apart from fighting, he hardly has any strengths elsewhere. Therefore, Asaph has been working hard to hit the legendary realm over the years, and only at the legendary level can his strength have some influence on the situation of the kingdom.
　　 Anyway, Tuttle and Asaph are now guests at Hops’s house. Since they have not yet completely smashed their faces, some basic respect is still to be given.
　　 The two looked at each other, and at the same time they began to cut the steak in front of them.
"Both are smart people, old man, I'll be straight to the point-don't you think that it is better for us to bring down that guy Alec than to continue fighting?" The banquet went on for a while, Hops It's almost time to see, then he whispered, ""
"Aggreko?"
　　 Tuttle groaned without speaking. Instead, there was a slight movement in Asaph's eyes.
　　 In the eyes of Asaph, the three nobles are all malignant tumors, so there can be one less.
"Yes, that guy has become more and more blatant when he has been against me recently... Wang Du clearly has a security team that is enough, but he wants to support some security force. The reputation of that security force is increasing. And don't forget. Now, Earl Earl, the nominal leader of the security forces, seems to have taken refuge in him. If this continues, sooner or later the power of that guy will surpass us!"
　　 Hops’ concerns are not unreasonable. In recent years, the Marquis of Alec was able to stand in the court as one of the three nobles. On the one hand, it was the strong strength of the Sky Knights. On the other hand, he took the initiative not to provoke the two dukes, acting very low-key.
　　 But the movements of the Marquis of Alec in recent years have made Hops a little uneasy.
　　Although he was very secretive, Hops’s intelligence network throughout the kingdom came to the conclusion immediately: He was trying to break the balance!
　　 To be honest, the two dukes did not want to break this balance and thus dominate the entire country. But who let the Marquis of Alec do it first?
　　 Besides, Princess Bella, who suddenly returned to the capital four years ago, is also a big exception.
Although Hopps knew about the existence of Bella, she left the royal capital very early. She thought that even if she had the ability, there would be no place for her in the royal capital. In the end, she could only choose to be like her sister Enid. Make a vase like that.
　　 I didn’t expect that she would join forces with Alec!
　　 "That fellow Alec, thought that with the princess and a group of young people who didn't know where it was, the situation could be turned upside down? He thought it was beautiful!"
　　 Speaking of anger, Hopps couldn't help swearing. Of course he knew he was venting his grievances, but he really had nothing to do with the Marquis of Alec.
　　 A politician like him wants to destroy an enemy. The best way is to grab the other’s pigtails, then turn black and white, and condemn the persecution of the other side with the righteousness of the country. This is how countless political enemies were killed by him.
　　 But this set is obviously useless for Alec. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Although he is the youngest, his political level is absolutely top-notch. He does everything without any leaks, and when he launches an attack, he does not give people any chance of breathing. In addition, the sky knights It can be called the powerful influence of the mainland's first-class army, and Hops's dark tricks can't have any effect on him.
It’s just that. Political skills are not uncommon for Hops, who is such a tough guy. Sending an elite killer to kill him secretly, but what kind of killer can kill an infinitely close to the legend. The strong?
　　 Anyway, there is no such capable person under Hops.
　　 In short, Hopps is a very cautious person, he will never act rashly without absolute certainty, but if he decides to shoot, it will definitely be a thunderous blow!
"So, think about it, both of you. Alec crossed the bottom line first. We are just maintaining the stability of the country. And we divided Alec’s power, how much benefit can we get? Especially your Royal Highness... Princess Bella is not a person. People without ambitions."
　　 Hopps grinned, like a cunning old fox.
　　 "It’s better to start first. Alec is already preparing. It’s not my style to sit and wait."
　　 Hearing this sentence was tantamount to declaring war, Tuttle and Asaph looked a little serious, and the atmosphere in the hall also stagnated.
　　 "The new king of Falkenrich, it can only be me!"
　　 After a while, Asaph stood up first, with obvious cruelty and determination in his words.
　　 "Alec and Princess Bella..." Tuttle then stood up, his eyes unchanged, "I don't know anything else, but Prince Asaph is the new king, I believe it is the best choice."
