Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 405: Preparing for Defeat Before the Battle

Fortunately, their Majesties are quite capable, and can even convince Queen Rosalind that these people will work for her sincerely, even going to the North to cause sabotage.

But, come to think of it... no matter who they are loyal to, causing trouble in the North will definitely not be a problem.

Fortunately, this princess was born to the White Dragon King.

The only worry is what to do if Queen Rosalind gives birth to a little princess who looks exactly like her!
Their Icefield is not a powerful country like the North that can send its own princess abroad to be the queen.

Moreover, there is no precedent of princesses in the North not getting married and just playing by themselves.

The Ice Princess can only marry into a powerful noble family.

But who would dare to marry a princess with the characteristics of Queen Rosalind?

No matter how big the castle is, it can't be bigger than the palace! There's no way to hide.

The people of the ice field, who have been ravaged by the Lord of Ice for many years, really can't bear those love affairs... For them, living a good life is the most perfect life.

Carter pondered for a while before frowning and asking, "Since you already knew what to do, why did you let us mess around like ice dogs these past few days?"

"Those so-called evil adventurers, don't you know what they are?" Rogers sneered without even raising his eyelids, "They are not as upright as the Ice Cultists!
That's a bug in the gutter, it only does things in secret.

It is absolutely impossible to ask them to come forward directly.

Even when they are calculating against others, they have to make sure that the one they are calculating against is not smart enough and is really easy to be fooled.

If we just act a little bit stupider, those people will show up sooner.

Otherwise, we will probably have to wait until next winter for them to finish their observations.”

Carter couldn't help but glance around the corner.

However, Barry, a member of the Ice Cult, didn't care at all about Rogers' slander against his own people. He just picked up a dagger with a cold glow and threw it there for fun.

"You don't have to look at him." Rogers said calmly, "The Ice Cultist only has himself in his eyes and heart. As long as you don't curse him by name, he doesn't care who you curse."

"Neither my Lord nor His Majesty the Ice Dog King can do that~" Barry skillfully wielded his knife and warned, "If you scold me, I will at most stab you twice, but if you dare to disrespect my Lord, then we can only fight to the death!"

Rogers turned his head sharply: "I'm not stupid!"

Barry is a high-level believer. Who knows if there is anything special behind his eyes?

Otherwise, why would the Ice Church send him out after knowing what Rosalind wanted to do?

The relationship between Lord Qingfeng and Lord Hanbing was a little confusing.

Although it was the male white dragon named Bolanios who took the open action, according to the character of the Lord of Ice, it would be normal for him to take this opportunity to declare war on Lord Qingfeng who ordered Bolanios to kill the ice dogs to save people.

However, not only did he remain silent, he even prevented the ice dogs from getting out of the iceberg!

The people of the North might not understand the vengeful character of the Lord of Ice, so they didn't take it seriously, but how could the people of the Icefield not see that there was something wrong!

Although I have heard the story of the Lord of Ice and know his blood relationship with the White Dragon King and Ruth Kania.

But blood relationship is basically the same as non-existent at the level of gods, and everyone knows that.

Therefore, the people of the Icefield actually have a little awe towards Lord Qingfeng.

This is what Rogers is most worried about.

Although Barry did sign a contract with them... this thing can restrict others, but it has very few restrictions on Ice believers, especially high-level believers.

The Lord of Ice seems to have the ability to invalidate the contract.

Although it only works on his own believers, as long as it can be done, it is already terrifying!
Even a being like the Lord of Storms cannot violate the contract!
Although the Lord of Ice has a sinister and violent personality, the evil deeds he has done cannot be compared with those of the Lord of the Tower. Many people suspect that the reason why the Lord of Ice can be placed on the same level as the Lord of the Tower and suppressed by the Orthodox Church is entirely because of his innate divine power.

Logically speaking, if Barry swore in the name of the Lord of Ice, his contract could still be trusted... He did not block all channels for his believers to communicate with the outside world, but left a way that the oath in the name of our Lord could not be easily torn up.

However, the word "easily" proved that as long as the Lord of Ice agreed, he could go back on his word.

However, not every Ice believer can directly contact this evil god to ask him to give special permission, so the degree of trust is still certain.

However, when encountering someone like Lord Qingfeng who has obviously attracted the attention of the Lord of Ice, one still has to be careful.

Therefore, there are some things that Rogers cannot say too clearly.

For example, the reason why he was so confident was, of course, because of Queen Rosalind, and she had other backup plans.

Sophia Reed. Rogers chewed on the name, and his mind quickly recalled the conversation he had with this beautiful lady when he left the capital.

The fact that Reed was a branch of Cebefia was naturally known to the king's close ministers a long time ago.

So, every time he met that attractive lady, Rogers was wary.

Even though Sofia has never made much use of her talents, she has worked hard to demonstrate her control and leadership abilities.

She is indeed very capable.

Not only was he able to manage the property that Queen Rosalind brought to the Ice Kingdom in an orderly manner, but he was also able to make a lot of profits from some of the manors, workshops and shops that were purchased after arriving in the Ice Kingdom's capital.

Even though her talent made people wary, Rogers still felt that Sophia would definitely be a good wife in the future.

The icefield nobles suppress the women in their family for various reasons, but they also hope to marry a mistress who is capable of taking the family to a higher level.

But it is really difficult for a noble girl who has not received sufficient education and has not had enough knight training to strengthen her body and will to achieve this with just her housekeeping skills.

It's all about talent.

Although such a girl, no matter how talented she is, will appear short-sighted due to her limited vision...but this is the purpose of the icefield nobles!
The direction of the family should be controlled by the male head, and no matter how outstanding a woman is, she can only cooperate.

There was no other way. Before marrying the princess of the North, the queens of the Icefield generally came from the great noble families… If they were able to see everything clearly, how could the Icefield nobles have harmed the Icefield royal family through their tricks?

No one knows who was the first person to think of this, or whether it was just a coincidence among those nobles who had mixed thoughts.

But they did it in silence.

Rogers and other so-called loyalists actually didn't figure out everything until the Northern Princess came with a large dowry, reliable subordinates, and a tough personality that completely broke the usual precedent of the Icefield Palace and threw out all the abnormal things.

Before this, they seemed to have their brains frozen, and never thought that the first few kings of the ice field wanted to win over those nobles with special identities for marriage, which was the beginning of the disaster.

Well, maybe it’s not that no one has thought of it.

However, those who thought of this either remained silent out of selfish motives, or had to remain completely silent, right?
Rogers actually wanted to marry his son to a capable and resourceful girl like Sophia.

Nobles like him who have to fight for their lives in middle age usually have no other reason.

For example, he has a stupid son who can hardly keep the city.

Besides gaining the appreciation of His Majesty Alex and generous rewards from Queen Rosalind, the best reward for him leading the team to do this was that his son's future was guaranteed.

The best official positions that the lesser nobles in the Ice Country are qualified for are not those affairs officials in the royal palace, nor the clerks in the major government departments, but the managers of various resource points, such as the Hanjing Lake.

After all, the people who are truly in charge there are high-level powerful people.

They just didn't want to waste time dealing with daily affairs, so they threw away the title of chief officer.

But the little tasks of paying the guards' salaries and managing life in the garrison were, apart from being tedious, not burdensome.

If you make a mistake, just apologize.

Moreover, with a high-level warrior above you, anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't do any useless tricks.

You can live an honest life and the salary is pretty good.

It is just right for someone like his son who has neither ability nor courage.

Unfortunately, although Rogers did belong to the King's camp and was considered loyal, he was unable to send his son, who was only level 3, to such a popular chief position.

But after he accepted the task, his son was able to go directly to see the ice fish.

Rogers didn’t have so many thoughts at first… Although he was sent to deal with a great wizard-level figure, he didn’t really have to take action against the Qingfeng leader!
He was just a high-level swordsman with magical plants, so he still had some confidence.

As for the Lord Qingfeng who would surely be furious... Rogers touched the dimensional jump scroll in his arms that could allow him to escape from the battlefield in an instant... Others didn't know, but he would definitely be able to escape.

However, things don't always go as planned. Valeera, the manager of Qingfeng Valley, is much stronger than he thought before he came.

Although he knew he would not die, Rogers could not help but start looking for a new way out for himself after failure.

Since my son is totally incompetent, why not just marry a woman who is definitely capable?
Even though Sophia was in a lot of trouble, as long as she had a child...his son was stationed abroad all year round anyway, so at least his grandson would definitely be safe.

Then he will go home less often, or even not go home at all!

Rogers, who had finally figured out a way out, cheered up.
