Chapter 346: Turn face to face

Rennes had heard Emilys talk about the existence of this person.
Weatherley Drogonborg, his grandfather was an uncle of King Siria, a pure dragonborn, but contrary to the family tradition, he married a non-dragonborn woman and gave birth to Weatherley's father. Weatherly is the product of his father's drunken romance, an illegitimate child.
According to seniority, Weatherley is Emily's cousin.
However, the Zhuo Gengbao family only recognizes that the dragon descendants are their own tribe, and Weatherley is impossible to enter the royal family and tarnish the noble true dragon bloodline.
Not to mention that he is an illegitimate child. In Congatro, who valued his birth, the illegitimate child was scornfully called a and was always looked down upon.
However, after the fall of the Drogenberg dynasty, most of the dragonborn were killed, and Weatherley was lucky to escape because of his low status. He fled to Haytok with Emily, because he was a few years older than Emily, he has always regarded himself as his elder brother, and privately named himself the surname "Drogonborg".
Weatherley was not qualified to practice the meditations of the Drogenberg family, and could not become the apostle of the dragonborn, so he joined the Temple of Storm and became a priest of the storm.
His talent is quite good, and he has family power and resources behind him. He is currently a ninth-level storm priest, only one step away from the legend.
Weatherley's status is not low in the Storm Church.
Relying on the relationship between the church and the family, he became well-known in Haytok, weaving a deep network of relationships among the aristocratic class of Haytok, and establishing friendship with the city lord.
In Amelis’s Restoration Group, Weatherley’s position is second only to her, and she is considered the number two person, even Astan and Varogen give him some points.
At this moment, Weatherly stared at Renn coldly, making no secret of his hostility.
Renn didn't care and looked away.
On the contrary, Varogen, who was next to him, fluttered his eyes to Weatherley. The color of his soul changed in an instant, and then quickly returned to normal.
The carriage crossed the lawn of the manor and stopped in front of the main hall.
Varogen walked down the steps quickly, opened the door of the car himself like a butler, and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, welcome you home."
Emilys put her hand on Varogen's arm and got out of the car with a false help. She opened her hood to reveal her beautiful face, and whispered, "Your Excellency Varogen, it doesn't have to be like this."
"It is my honor to serve your Highness." Varogen said sincerely.
His gaze turned to Rennes, who had just dismounted, and a smile appeared on his rounded face. "The noble Lord Earl, my humble Vrogan, I have admired the Lord Earl for a long time. I finally saw it today. I really deserve to be a hero of the empire. So handsome, haha..."
This guy speaks so nicely.
Rennes complained and nodded at him, "Your Excellency Varogen praised."
"I have absolutely no lie." Varogen said swearingly, and then looked at the guards on his horse, "Your Excellency Astan, Mr. Dingraghi, Mr. Bigebel, and everyone have worked hard."
In just one face-to-face meeting, he took care of everyone.
At this time Weatherly stepped forward and said: "Emilys, you have been in Mordu for almost two years, and I almost have to find you. Fortunately, you are back." His eyes were affectionate and completely ignored. Others, it seems that others are not worth mentioning.
Even the blind could see Weatherley's mind, which was a provocation to Rennes.
The scene was a bit awkward for a while.
Emilys frowned, her face unhappy.
Varogen hurriedly rounded up the field and said, "Your Highness, Lord Earl, come in quickly." He led the people into the manor house in front. The servants brought up the washing utensils and cleaned up the dust for the guests in a secret room. Seated in the side hall.
Ren's eyes swept across the hall, and he nodded to himself.
There is a soundproof force field arranged here, and there is a hidden magic door behind the precious tapestries, which is obviously a channel for emergency escape.
Emilys sat on the head and asked, "How is the preparation on Haitok?"
"His Royal Highness."
Varogen just got up to report, but was stopped by Amelis and told him to sit down again. Then he continued: "Last month, I received news from your Highness. I have sent people out to inform the mercenaries in the Empire and the New World. Come back. Because they are far away, only a hundred people have returned so far. It is estimated that there will be 300 people in one month, and all the mercenaries will be there in two months."
"We have been preparing for the pre-war supplies and equipment for many years and are very sufficient."
"But I still secretly collected a part of it for supplement, and the detailed accounts will be presented to His Highness for review later."
"On the centaur side, I just sent them a batch of supplies not long ago. I mentioned the dispatch of troops to Patriarch Karissa. He did not object, but Patriarch Karissa asked to talk to the temple. I can’t be the master, so Please go down to the grassland."
Every incident was reported, and there was only Varogen's voice in the room.
His organization is clear and everything is handled properly.
Emily asked a few questions from time to time, and she could answer immediately and explain to her, even if there was a question that was uncertain, she said she would solve it immediately.
A group of people are very excited.
The plans that have been planned for many years can finally be implemented, one by one with ambition.
Rehn did not participate in the discussion. Like Ashtan, he said nothing from start to finish, like an outsider. He didn't want to participate too much in the preparations before the war. People like Amilys had planned for many years and there would be no problems. Anyway, he was only responsible for fighting.
After talking about preparations, Varogen entered the most important topic.
"His Royal Highness, give me two more months at most, and everything will be ready." Varogen said, "Should we determine the time of departure and where to land in Congatro?"
Everyone looked at Emilys, this can only be decided by her.
Emilys pondered for a while, and said, "The time is set from the end of June to the beginning of July, and the first battle is scheduled for Longjing Island."
"Dragon Crystal Island has a deep-water port, but there are not many guards. Our ship can sail directly into the port and seize control of the island. As long as we take Longjing Island, we can nail one on the coast of Congatro. Nails, as our outpost."
"Furthermore, Dragon Crystal Island is my fief, which has symbolic significance."
"What do you think?"
The two most important advisers, Varogen and Dinglaji both agreed. In fact, they had considered this issue a long time ago, which coincided with Emily's idea.
Varogen looked at Renne and asked, "Your Excellency, your knights and the wizards of Wezeland, will you take a boat with us to cross the sea, or will you send them to the island after taking Dragon Crystal Island?"
Ren couldn't help but look at him.
Obviously, Varogen had known from Amelis that he could build a teleportation formation.
The number of people regaining the Kangatello Kingdom this time should exceed 7,000. It is impossible to transmit all of them. The cost is too high. The consumption of the Arcane Crystal alone will cost hundreds of thousands of gold shields, and there are also certain risks.
However, it is fine to send a small number of people.
The wizards and the knights can only have a few hundred people at most. Using the portal can have an unexpected effect, directly airborne Dragon Crystal Island from the inside.
Ren thought for a while and said: "If you are ready to build the materials for the teleportation formation and seize the Dragon Crystal Island, you can give it to me."
Attacking land from the sea, even if there are few defenders, is not an easy task.
There is a steam ballista on Longjing Island, and if it pierces a few ships, the damage will be too great. Varogen was waiting for Ren's words, and he immediately agreed: "Then your hard work, Lord Earl, and all the materials will be delivered tomorrow."
Ren nodded, and said nothing.
Next, Varogen talked about the current situation of Congatro.
He was once an important minister of King Siria, and he was very familiar with Congatro. Even though he was far abroad, he successfully formed a huge network of circumstances, penetrated into the major families, and was well informed.
The current king, that is, Emilys’ greatest enemy, Mark Lauberdill, was the one who killed Emily’s brother, the former prince, and a heir of great reputation and ability. This usurped the throne.
Mark has been king for more than forty years, but he has no interest in governing the country.
The king was obsessed with practice and enjoyment, and handed over all domestic affairs to the Royal Council. The main person in charge of the Royal Council is the Prime Minister Duke Nivet Dance, who is also the king's father-in-law and the queen's father.
The Dans family is also one of the seven families of Congatro. It owns the Duchy of Dans and has found many gold mines in the territory. It has always been the richest family of Congatro.
The action to overthrow the Drogenberg dynasty back then was initiated by Duke Dans behind the scenes.
But in the end it was Mark who took the throne.
In order to win over the Duke of Dans, Mark married the other's eldest daughter as the queen and formed a marriage. The two families ruled Congatro together.
"His Royal Highness, I discovered a major secret last year, which was confirmed not long ago. Using this secret may help us reduce the resistance to the restoration of the country." Varogen's face showed a bit of mystery and gloat.
"What's the secret?" Emilys lifted up and asked quickly.
"The three children the queen gave birth are not of Mark's species, but the result of the queen and her brother Koster." After Varogen said, he suddenly looked at Ding Laji, who was sitting next to him, as if waiting for him. reaction.
"Really?"
The few people in the room were surprised.
The most shocked was Demon Warlock Ding Laji, whose ugly face was dull, his eyes became very complicated, and he couldn't help asking: "Varogen, are you sure this is true?"
"It's absolutely true." Varogen replied categorically.
Ding Laji's always bohemian demeanor suddenly crotched down, as if he couldn't believe this fact.
Renn was a little confused.
Emilys leaned over and whispered: "Ding Laji came from the Dans family. That queen is her sister."
Rehn felt stunned.
This relationship is really messy. As the son of the prime minister, Ding Laj has defected overseas to be loyal to Amilys, planning to overthrow his brother-in-law, the king, and become an enemy of his prime minister’s father. A terrible family ethics drama.
It turned out to be fighting in the nest for a long time, the grievances between several families.
After everyone had digested the news, Varogen continued: "Your Highness, should we shake this secret out?"
A king was actually put on a green hat by the queen, and he was a big one!
Not to mention the king, even ordinary men can't accept this humiliation. What's more terrifying is that all three children were born by their wives and brothers.
In order to wash away the humiliation, Mark and the Dans family are likely to become enemies and even go to war directly.
If other families stand in line, it may cause a civil war.
When Congatro's major families are about to kill each other, they consume their power, and the opportunity will come. Maybe it won't take much effort to regain the kingdom.
Amelis glanced at Ding Laji, who was still absent, and nodded without hesitation: "Just do it, Lord Varogen, within half a month, everyone in Congatro will know this secret. "
"His Royal Highness, I have arranged manpower in more than a dozen major cities in the kingdom, and I will start to act at night. It will be spread tomorrow in less than half a month." Varogen smiled.
Rehn guessed his method and sent people to spread leaflets around late at night.
Common people like to hear this kind of gossip, especially the secret gossip of the ruler. Once it spreads, it is impossible to hide it.
After discussing for a while, everyone got up and dispersed.
After a sumptuous dinner, Varogen had already arranged the room, and Amilys habitually took Ren's arm and wanted to go upstairs with him for the night.
Astan, Dinglaji and Bigebel are used to seeing each other, and there is no reaction.
Varogen was not surprised.
Only Weatherley's expression was gloomy, his face was a little distorted, and anger seemed to be erupting from his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Amilys, did you sleep with him?"
This sentence was so direct that everyone was stunned.
Needles dropped in the banquet hall.
Emily turned to look at Weatherley, and replied blankly: "Weatherley, this is not something you should be concerned about, please respect yourself."
"I am also a member of the Zhuo Gengbao family. As your cousin, why can't I bother?"
Weatherly suppressed his anger~EbookFREE.me~ His chest rose and fell quickly, pointed at Ren, and asked: "He is not a dragonborn, but a mortal of commoner origin. With good luck, he worships in the name of the Holy Spirit Wizard. We can cooperate with him, but you can't sleep with him!"
"The noble blood of the Dragonborn family cannot be tarnished by mortals."
"And you are the future queen of Congatro. If you give birth to a child with him, but not the dragonborn, who will inherit the throne in the future?"
"Without the Dragonborn, how can we revive the Zhuo Gengbao family?"
"The family can't grow again, what's the point of our restoration?"
"Will the king of Congatro change his surname to Augustus in the future?"
Weatherly asked a series of questions, glared, and there was a burst of wind and thunder from his body. The water element and the thunder and lightning element gathered around him, obviously in extreme anger.
Emily fell silent.
Varogan and the others were frightened, for fear that Weatherley's remarks would turn Renne's face, and then the decades-long plan would be completely frustrated.
