Unlike the solemn atmosphere in the war room, Rudolf and his team were walking slowly along the coastline, away from the port city of Khodor.
Cooper yawned and asked, "Rudolf, is this route safe?"
After becoming a level 5 living corpse, Cooper did not need sleep, and he could not sleep, so he usually became very sleepy. This kind of sleepiness was very uncomfortable. He was always in a state where he wanted to sleep but could not sleep.
"The route is very safe. I saw the latest sand table in the war room. The Constitutional Army has no troops deployed in this direction. We don't need to be anxious."
Rudolf did not walk fast, deliberately slowing down the team's speed.
The sea breeze brought a ray of noise. Rudolf turned his head and looked at the sea. There seemed to be some movement on the sea in the distance. He looked up at the sky in the distance, and there seemed to be some movement in the sky.
But Rudolf was not worried at all. Kedrick had just become the Viscount of the Earldom of Golden Anchor, and it was impossible for him to die here. Kedrick was his amulet.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Kedrick suddenly said, "Mr. Rudolf, I feel something strange."
"Strange?"
"Yes, this place is not far from the port city of Khodor. Even if there is no battle, the reconnaissance troops will patrol here regularly, but half an hour has passed and no scouts have been seen."
"Oh, I don't know about that. Maybe your scouts were exhausted a few days ago and are resting now."
Five minutes later, Kedrick asked again, "Mr. Rudolf, I suddenly remembered that when we left the port city of Khodor, there was a team of scouts in the same direction as us, but we didn't see them coming back, which means that they may have been attacked!" "
Really? That's too unfortunate." Rudolf reminded, "Kedrick, although you are a descendant of the Golden Anchor family, you do not belong to the Royal Navy's Western Fleet, and you can't get involved in the war here."
Kedrick nodded. Military discipline is very important. Even Count Nahor, the commander of the Eastern Fleet, cannot interfere in the military affairs here.
There is a road by the sea. This road is not flat. Several people chatted and walked forward. Only Kedrick became more and more silent.
Until a certain moment, a low muffled sound came from the sea, clearly breaking the tranquility of the night.
"It's artillery! I won't hear it wrong! The Royal Navy and the Constitutional Navy are fighting at sea!"
Rudolph turned around and said, "If you are in a hurry, you can go back first."
Kedrick shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just one of the representatives of the East Fleet, and it's really not appropriate for me to interfere in the military affairs of the West Fleet, especially my brother Caleb is now a senior officer of the East Fleet, he won't like me who is eager to show myself."
At Kedrick's coming-of-age ceremony, he had noticed the awkwardness of his elder brother Caleb. He wouldn't be wrong. The disgust deep in Caleb's eyes almost made him lose control of his expression.
They were all used to seeing hypocritical nobles, so it was easy to tell whether others were really happy or just pretending to smile. If he showed off again at this time, he would definitely be met with greater hostility.
Even the more slow-witted Ursula felt that the atmosphere became solemn.
Rudolf suddenly remembered something and asked, "Kedrick, do you have any plans regarding the Evil God Cult? The Knights and the Alchemy Council are fighting to the death, so don't let the Evil God Cult take advantage in the end." "No. Our king, Carloman XVI, has not moved. No matter how fierce the war on the front line, his majesty and his royal knights have not moved." Kedrick said confidently:
"Unless the evil god comes in person, no one can defeat the king and his loyal royal knights."
"In other words, you are fighting with the Alchemy Council like this now, but you still give up a king and the most elite knights?"
"Yes. If His Majesty the King goes to the front line in person, all the senators of the Upper House of the Alchemy Parliament must be dispatched. The Royal Army and the Royal Navy are not the strongest armed forces in the kingdom. The Royal Knights, which are directly under His Majesty the King, are the kingdom's biggest trump card.
My second and third brothers both served in the Royal Knights. When they left home, one was a level 3 knight and the other a level 2 knight. When they first joined the Knights, they were just ordinary cavalry of the lowest level. Even some nobles' first heirs will join the Royal Knights and receive the most rigorous training.
If I hadn't been promoted to a level 4 knight, I think I would have gone to the Royal Knights, where I could make friends with members of the royal family and receive more rigorous training."
Emperor Megwen in the far north, like those famous emperors in history, has the ability to confront the evil god head-on. Carloman XVI, who is one level lower than the emperor, is a knight second only to the evil god.
Kedrick continued, "If the evil god dares to set foot on the northern continent, then Emperor Megwen will have a reason to go south. He will lead his army to the Saragu Sea and drive the evil god into the sea again."
Speaking of the knight, Kedrick's tone was full of glory. He firmly believed that neither the Alchemy Council nor the evil god could be the opponent of the knight.
"Does the Megwen Empire have an agreement with other kingdoms? Once the evil god lands, they can go south?"
"Yes, there has always been such a consensus on the continent. Once the evil god lands, everyone will unite behind the Knight Emperor to fight against the evil god together. I just don't know if this ancient agreement can still make the alchemists obey it now."
Kedrick continued, "If there was no threat from the evil god cult, how could the Alchemy Council be the opponent of His Majesty the King? Those senators..."
Rudolf suddenly looked at the sea in the distance in front of him, where there was a fierce sound of fighting, no longer a dull sound coming from a distance.
Kedrick, who had military experience, immediately recognized what it was: "It was a landing battle! The Royal Navy defeated the Constitutional Navy and landed in front of us! But, Mr. Rudolph, didn't you say that there were no Constitutional Army troops in front of us?"
Rudolph spread his hands:
"Oh, Viscount Paulus took me to the Royal Navy Operations Room. Chief of Staff Albert showed me the latest troop deployment sand table. The sand table showed that there were indeed no troops of the Constitutional Army in front.
Maybe, just now, the Constitutional Army suddenly mobilized a large number of troops and accidentally blocked us?"
Operations room, Paulus, Alberto... As smart as Kedrick was, he immediately thought of the worst possibility: "They are framing you!"
Rudolf smiled and said, "Don't think of me so important. I'm just a wizard passing by. At most, I'm a wizard who can propose some cooperation to your father. How could I be targeted by so many people?
Kedrick, I'm about to return to my hometown. I don't know when we will meet next time.
I brought you out this time because I want to tell you a truth before leaving: never think too highly of others.
They didn't frame me, but you!"
