Imperial Crown.

Chapter 383 The best gift
Sorry... I was blocked. Sorry.

……..(jesus)

Posuo Palace, the sleeping hall of the Grand Duke.

Today, there is the Grand Duchess, fine wine and soft candlelight.

There is no Grand Duke Eivor.

The only man in the room was Raven.

Grand Duchess Tracy knelt down respectfully, took off Raven's shoes and socks, and put on a pair of soft-soled slippers for him with her own hands:
"I ordered this to be made according to your measurements. Are you satisfied?"

Raven didn't answer, but reached out and stroked Cuiqi's earlobe, letting the soft flesh move back and forth between his fingers.

A blush crept up Cuiqi's cheeks, her body softened, and she moved towards Raven's legs.

However, this time the post was empty.

Raven pulled his legs out and walked to the dressing table and sat down:

"why?"

Cui Qi turned around and looked at Raven with a bit of resentment:

"I am a woman, of course I like strong men, why is that?"

"Because I can see that you have at least 1/4 Lin Mei bloodline." Lei Wen said quietly: "And Lin Mei naturally hates humans, especially male humans!"

Lin Mei is a very special kind of humanoid creature. There are only females and no males in their clan.

Not only do they possess beauty that even elves envy, they are also naturally charming and no one can resist them.

And this is exactly what led to the tragedy of this race.

As time goes by, Lin Mei is almost never seen nowadays. Only a few mixed-bloods inherited from the previous generation will occasionally awaken their bloodline and become a commodity that everyone is vying for.

"No wonder you were able to conquer the Principality of Eivor on your own and defeat Flindo and Aethel one after another." Cui Qi stood up and her expression became calm:
"It seems that I underestimated you."

"But my determination to dedicate myself to you has never wavered!"

Raven stared into her eyes and asked again, "Why?"

Cui Qi bit her lips gently:

"Because I hope you can let me govern the Principality of Eivor!"

Raven was a little surprised, but immediately revealed a playful smile, raised his chin, and motioned Cuiqi to continue.

Cuiqi summoned up her courage and told him her plan in full: "Since you didn't kill Qiao Ji, that is, Eivor VIII, then no matter what kind of contract is reached, he will continue to rule Eivor in name after you leave."

"Men are always uncontrollable. Don't look at Qiao Ji's character. He has his own ambitions. Your orders will definitely be distorted by him."

"But I'm different. I'm a woman. I have power, and I just want to stop being a plaything for others. I don't need to wear revealing clothes like a lowly dancer all year round to please an idiot."

"I just want to be treated like a Grand Duchess!"

Raven had also heard about Eivor VIII's hobby, but he just thought it was a rumor circulating in the market. He didn't expect it to be true.

Although they had just met, Raven could see that Cui Qi was a person with strong opinions, courage, plans, and a strong sense of self-esteem.

This kind of woman was treated as a plaything by Eivor VIII. She must have hated the Grand Duke in her heart for a long time.

Raven looked at Cuiqi and said, "Since you want power, what are you willing to give in exchange?"

Cui Qi looked at Raven steadily: "My chastity!"

"Pfft..." Raven spit out a mouthful of wine all over the floor. "Are you kidding me?"

Eivor VIII and Tracy have been married for 20 years. It's not like Eivor VIII doesn't like to play with women, so how could he have allowed Tracy to remain a chaste woman until now?

Cui Qi blushed, stretched out her right hand, placed her thumb on the tip of her little finger, split the little finger in half, and shook it again:

"It's just... just this small (jesus),
Not counting the nails.”

The expression on Raven's face suddenly became extremely wonderful.

No wonder, Eivor VIII was a life of debauchery and had been married to Twilight for 20 years, but he was still unable to continue his bloodline.

It would be incredible if a woman with this kind of physique could give birth to a child!

"Moreover, I can sign a contract with you." Cui Qi continued: "If you are still worried, then... I am willing to bear another child for you."

"From now on, as long as the Principality of Eivor still exists, your bloodline will continue to rule the Principality of Eivor!"

Hearing Cui Qi's words, Raven stood up and walked towards the door.

Cui Qi's heart sank.

After saying this, is Raven still not ready to accept me?!
Click.

Raven walked to the door and locked it, then turned back and unbuttoned his collar.

Throwing his shirt on the ground, Raven revealed his well-defined muscles, which made Cui Qi's eyes sparkle.

She reached behind her back, ready to untie the heavy dress.

"Don't move." Raven walked over to Cuiqi: "I like this dress very much."

As he spoke, he grabbed Cuiqi's skirt and used both hands to tear the heavy curtain-like skirt apart, revealing a pair of long legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings. He leaned over to Cuiqi's ear and whispered:
"I heard that Lin Mei's flexibility has always been very good."

Cui Qi's body trembled slightly, her right leg in high heels nailed firmly to the ground, and she slowly raised her left leg until her calf was touching her cheek.

Raven crouched down.

Cuiqi's face became redder and redder, and her toes in her high heels moved restlessly, leaving uneven grooves on her stockings.

"What are you going to do (jesus)?"

"Your chastity is still there."

"Stay like this, don't move."

The next moment, Cui Qi suddenly bit her lips, her face turned pale, and an uncontrollable cry of pain came out of her nose:

"what--"

Just then, the door suddenly rang, but neither of the people in the room had time to pay attention.

Raven grabbed Twilight's slender waist with both hands, holding her firmly in place.

Cui Qi still raised her left leg high, closed her eyes tightly in shame, and because she could not keep her balance, she had to lean herself on Raven's firm chest.

Gradually, color returned to her pale face, and the color turned into an indelible blush. Sweat seeped out of her forehead, causing her right foot to slip in her high heels, making it increasingly difficult for her to stand firmly.

On the door, an eye appeared in the keyhole. It was the eye of Eivor VIII.

He put his hands on the door and watched everything that happened in the room intently.

Raven was like a demon beast, and Cui Qi was like a delicate wild deer, being ravaged into various shapes, her skin covered with red and purple patches due to Raven's strength.

It was like the treasure that I had always cherished was being destroyed without mercy!
This is a reality that is difficult for every man to accept.

Disgust, hatred, jealousy, and humiliation (damn it) spread in Eivor VIII's heart.
(jesus) But at the same time, a twisted and different feeling arose in his heart...

快意
Until a piece of cloth was thrown by Raven, covering the door handle and completely blocking Eivor VIII's view.

Raven roughly threw Cui Qi, who was about to fall to the ground, onto the bed, and pressed her legs to both sides of her face. Sweat dripped from her fair skin and flowed into her leg crevices.

Cui Qi's face showed three parts of pain, three parts of unwillingness and four parts of confusion. Her slender fingers scratched Raven's chest, and she resisted weakly and at a loss.

She felt everything about this evening was strange and unbelievable. Raven brought her to a realm she had never truly experienced before, which was completely different from what she usually saw in books.

As time passed, resistance turned to resignation, and pain turned to pleasure.

And at some point the joy turned into an unbearable exhaustion and an inescapable quagmire.

“Don’t be like this…

I (Jesus) can’t do it anymore…”

Pa, a crisp slap sounded.

The originally smooth cry came to an abrupt halt and turned into a painful suffocating sound.

……..(jesus)

The next morning (jesus).

Raven woke up relaxed from his deep sleep, and reached out to touch the slightly red and swollen skin of the girl beside him. Cuiqi frowned slightly, even in her sleep, there was a trace of fear.

"Lin Mei's taste is really good."

Standing up, Raven put on his clothes one by one, but he still couldn't find his underwear.

Got under the bed?

never mind.

You've relaxed enough, it's time to get down to business.

Opening the door, Raven was immediately happy.

I saw the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Eivor huddled at the door of his bedroom and he hasn't woken up yet.

"Get up, Your Highness." Raven kicked Eivor VIII and made him fall.

"Go change your clothes, we should discuss what to do next."

Eivor VIII stood up quickly.

Even though Eivor VIII had only been flattering in words before, he had made up his mind in his heart to regain the authority of the Grand Duke after Raven left.

After this night, his psychological defenses had completely collapsed.

He is not as good as Raven in politics, there is no comparison in military affairs, and even the pride of a man is nothing in front of Raven!
5 hours. A whole 5 hours!
Like a dog with a broken spine, he slumped his shoulders, rubbed his hands, and naturally put on a flattering smile on his face:

"Yes, my lord!"

……(jesus) ..
"Wait, say it again."

Outside a town in the North Gordon River Region, Earl Tyrone stopped what he was doing and asked this question.

The messenger shouted:

"According to the latest news, Baron Raven has captured the Blue Castle on June 6 and moved into the Posuo Palace!!"

Tai Long still didn't want to believe it: "Is the news reliable?"

"Completely reliable. Not only did the Eagle Army send a report, but Master Hyde and Master Jon also sent back information!" The messenger held up a cloth bag with both hands: "The entire war process is in these documents!"

Without caring about his manners, Tyrone snatched the cloth bag in his hand, opened it, took out the letter inside, unfolded it, and read it carefully.

The Eagle Army only gave the result of the war, but Hyde and Jon's letters fully described the process of the war.

"Too risky, too risky!!"

After reading the story, even Tyrone couldn't help but express such emotion.

Every step Raven takes can be said to be walking on a tightrope!
When attacking a city, although the main force is just feinting, in order to divert attention, it will definitely switch to a real siege later.

Facing a strong city like Blue Castle, if Raven fails to take it in one fell swoop, it will be impossible for him to capture Blue Castle with the troops he has.

Letting Eric enter through the tunnel and launch a surprise attack to control the bastion and the city gate was indeed a good move. Raven's own raid on the Posa Palace was beyond everyone's expectations.

But the risks of both are higher than each other!

Even if Aragorn and his army failed to return in time, once time passed and the Blue Castle defenders recaptured the city gates and blocked the underground sewers, the 1000 Eagle Army and Raven would be trapped.

No matter how strong you are, if you are not at level 7, you will not be able to defeat the army.

The most fatal thing was that the more than 10 troops led by Aragon and others rushed back, pushing the situation to the brink of life and death.

"Raven, the army you trained is really terrifying." Tyrone sighed.

With less than 2 men, they were able to hold out for five hours against an enemy force that had 10 times their strength in a field battle.

If they had not held out long enough, even if Raven had successfully kidnapped Eivor VIII, the war would have ended in failure.

On the other hand, if Raven had not defeated the Reincarnated Angel and captured Eivor VIII alive, no matter how brave the Eagle Army was, it would not be able to win against the endless offensive of Eivor's army.

A strong army or strong personal strength, without either one, it would be impossible to achieve such a military miracle!

The fame of General Raven is likely to spread throughout the entire continent.

"Pass on my order." Earl Tyrone put away the letter:
"Assemble the troops. I will lead Typhon's 1st Legion to Blue Castle first. You will follow and join me!"

At the same time, Marquis Anthony also received the news that Raven had captured the Blue Castle.

Anthony took out a bottle of medicine and poured it into his mouth, calming his heart which was pounding due to excessive excitement. A complex emotion appeared on his face:

"Raven...Ray(jesus)...Ven!!!"

Being able to capture Blue Castle is undoubtedly a major benefit to the empire.

But Raven is a noble of the Nord Province after all, and nominally he has to obey the orders of the governor!
The more outstanding Raven's performance is, the more incompetent he, the governor, appears!

Both before and during the war, Anthony's performance can be said to be unremarkable.

If Raven is like a dazzling sun, then Anthony is an insignificant star hidden under the golden light of the sun!
"How can you take down the Blue Castle!?"

Anthony still didn't want to believe this fact. He knew too well how difficult it was to conquer Blue Castle.

When the Principality of Eivor was first established, it was targeted and suppressed by the two great empires of Keynes and Insa. It was only by relying on the Blue Castle that it withstood wave after wave of attacks and was able to gain a firm foothold!

Now, Raven alone, with less than 2 people, has taken them down!

Anthony was originally happy about the fact that he had plundered the land and obtained goods worth at least 80 gold coins and about 50 cash. But now thinking about it, he regretted it so much.

If Anthony had known this, he should have followed Tyrone's example and sent his own troops to Raven - this way, he could at least get some credit, right! ?

"Come, pass my order down, gather the troops immediately and go to Blue Castle with me!" Anthony ordered.

"But (Jesus) is ..."

"No buts. They took one-third of the things confiscated along the way. It's time for them to calm down!" Anthony said bitterly.

"If we're late for Blue Castle this time, I'll make them vomit out everything they've eaten!"

Anthony made no contribution to the war.

But what follows will be a diplomatic confrontation, and Anthony can be said to be the only experienced one on the Keynes side in Eivor today.

Seize this opportunity and try to win the favor of His Majesty!
As for Jesus...

"Emperor Raven, you really dare to accept this title."

Anthony showed a meaningful smile on his face. While the army was gathering, he wrote a personal letter and called his personal attendant:

"Send this letter to Viscount Gunther."

Seeing the confusion on his followers' faces, Anthony added:

"It's just a little peeling!"

…… (jesus)

The war between the two empires of Keynes and Insa has become the focus of attention of all forces on the continent.

The importance of the battlefield in the Principality of Eivor has naturally been noticed by the people in power across the continent. The Blue Castle has already attracted the eyes and tentacles of too many different countries and forces.

So not long after Raven entered the Posha Palace, the news of the capture of the Blue Castle spread throughout the entire continent!
As Tyrone said, Raven's capture of Blue Castle was a military miracle.

The impact it causes is even more far-reaching.

The Fitun city-states, led by the Fitun Kingdom, immediately dispatched an air force upon receiving the news to support the Keynes Empire's isolated city of Majik outside the northeastern border.

At the same time, a batch of food and fodder was organized and prepared to be shipped to the Keynes Empire.

On the other hand, the Insa Empire strengthened the defense of the Langqing Province adjacent to the Principality of Eivor, and even began to station troops outside the northern gate of the Principality of Eivor, guarding against possible surprise attacks by Keynes.

The Church of Light had the strongest reaction.

The Pope, who had previously verbally advised the two empires to cease fire, issued an edict in his capacity as Pope to gather the heads of various human regimes to convene a continental conference to mediate the war.

On June 6, Earl Tyrone arrived at Blue Castle.

On the same evening, Marquis Anthony also came to the Posa Palace.

After a week of preparation.

On June 6, a grand ceremony was held at Posuo Palace.
