Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 103: Southern Overlord, Mary Frank
Rose collar.

In the twilight, a majestic lord's mansion stood majestically on the edge of the town.

The ancient stone walls were covered with red roses, and the heavy black iron gate was covered with thorns and vines.

The corridor inside the mansion was dark and long. A blazing fire burned in the fireplace, casting dancing light and shadows, illuminating the armor and weapons hanging on the walls.

The servants' hurried footsteps echoed in the empty space, and along with the dim candlelight, his breathing became more and more rapid.

Passing through the hall decorated with exquisite tapestries, the luxurious restaurant comes into view.

The long dining table was already filled with exquisite tableware and crystal wine glasses, and the candlelight reflected on the silverware, flickering with a gentle glow.

At the very top, sat a woman with long chestnut hair. Her face was as delicate as a sculpture, with a hint of extraordinary wild beauty between her brows, like a leopard ready to pounce. Her eyes were deep and sharp, like the brightest stars in the night sky, both majestic and charming.

She wore a gorgeous gown embroidered with gold thread, a rose brooch on top of the gown, and a tiara inlaid with 215 rubies.

Her slender eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing an unquestionable authority, as if nothing could escape her scrutinizing gaze.

Next to her sat a black-haired man in a suit. He had delicate features and a tall figure. No matter what banquet he attended, he would become the focus because of his outstanding looks and noble temperament. However, when he sat next to her, he could only serve as a foil.

"Lady Mary, His Majesty the King has recognized the legal inheritance rights of Katherine Rochelle Hernandez Mehliban Jackson."

The waiter entered the restaurant, knelt on the ground, and spoke tremblingly.

Mary glanced at the man beside her calmly and said in a cold tone without any emotion,

"Lore Jackson, you actually hid the fact that you have a younger sister from me."

Luo Er Jackson's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his hands were shaking slightly, and he lowered his head to explain,

"Katherine Rochelle Hernandez Mehliban Jackson has been imprisoned in a tower, forgotten by the family. I never thought my father would give her the inheritance rights. She has never even lived a single day in the Jackson family. I still don't remember having such a sister. There must be some misunderstanding."

"The Jackson family motto is that family comes before everything else. Have you really forgotten that you have a sister? Or do you think I'm a fool?"

Mary looked at Lore Jackson coldly, as if she were looking at a dead person.

Although the two were married in name only and Lor Jackson was her third husband, Mary never took Lor Jackson seriously. Just like her previous two husbands, they were just tools for Mary to achieve her goals. The proud Mary would not even let them touch her.

"You are certainly not a fool."

Luo Er Jackson pushed the chair away and knelt on one knee on the ground. His palms and back were cold, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.
"Katherine Rochelle Hernandez Mehliban Jackson suffers from a terminal illness or a body of bad luck. If it weren't for the Jackson family's creed, she would have been drowned at birth. She is the source of disaster. No Jackson is willing to touch her. She has been imprisoned in a high tower. I am willing to swear to the God of Tiger that every word I say is true and I have absolutely not deceived you."

"If you weren't a Jackson, you'd be a corpse now."

Mary said lightly.

Lor Jackson's heart was temporarily relieved, but he knew that his value was limited to helping Mary obtain the Blue Moon Territory.

As he entered the marriage hall with Mary, his life had already entered the countdown.

Even when alive, we are walking on thin ice and facing the abyss.

He only hoped that his sister Catherine, whom he had never met, could live longer and not die of a terminal illness so soon, so that there would be hope for the family.

Mary didn't let Lore Jackson stand up, so Lore Jackson had to continue kneeling. This was a great humiliation for the Jackson family, which had always been high and mighty, but he had learned to endure it.

Mary turned around and looked at the waiter who was also sweating profusely.

The waiter swallowed and continued,
"The new Lord of Greenshade, Lee En Moriah, has announced his engagement to Katherine Rochelle Hernandez Mehliban Jackson."

The wine glass in Mary's hand was crushed directly.

The maid nervously stepped forward to treat her wound, but she seemed to feel no pain at all and frowned.

"Leon Moriah?"

"Yes, he is the illegitimate son of old Moriah, a blacksmith apprentice living in Blueberry Town, just an ordinary person."

Said Nancy Scalia, the blue-haired beauty in a maid outfit.

Nancy Scalia was Mary's head maid and the butler who ran Mary's organization of spies and assassins.

Her status is second only to Mary, and no one in Rose Territory dares to offend her.

Even Mary rarely got angry with her.

But this time, Mary began to question her abilities.

"Nancy, are you trying to tell me that an ordinary blacksmith apprentice dares to marry the orphan of the Jackson family and dares to become an enemy of me, Mary?"

Nancy Scalia said calmly as she treated the wound on Mary's hand,

"Even if he's ordinary, he's still a descendant of the Moria family. Perhaps he inherited his father's romantic ways. Coupled with his lack of understanding of the political situation, he didn't realize he had become your enemy. It's not impossible that he chose to marry the orphan of the Jackson family."

The reason why Nancy Scalia thought so was partly due to the recent response given by the spies from the Green Territory, which basically said that Lee En Moriah was partying every night and indulging in socializing and dancing.

On the other hand, Lien Moriah was originally an ordinary blacksmith apprentice, and there was nothing wrong with the previous investigation report.

Nancy Scalia was confident that her unintentional spies would not make mistakes in this matter.

No one can be more loyal than them.

"You know, Green Shade Territory still owes a huge sum of money to the Imperial Bank. If the Jackson family promises to help them pay it back and also uses their beauty to seduce them, the men of the Moria family will definitely not be able to resist the temptation."

Nancy Scalia continued.

Mary had also come into contact with many men from the Moria family and knew that lust was a common problem among them.

But even though what Nancy Scalia said made a lot of sense, she still felt that the whole thing was not that simple.

Even if Li En Moriah is a lustful fool, won't his ministers advise him?

Even if everyone in Green Shade Territory is short-sighted, won't the "Eye of the Future" give a hint?

Aren’t they afraid of the consequences of making their own enemies?

Mary rubbed her brows and thought about the whole incident.

In the end, it was discovered that this was not a decision that the Lord of Green Shade could make.

It’s the one above who doesn’t want to get the Blue Moon Collar himself.

"Augus, what are you afraid of?"

Mary muttered to herself.

When they heard the lord calling the king's name, everyone lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.

"I will eventually take back everything that belongs to me, Auguras."

Mary stood up, her beautiful face twisted with anger. She overturned all the exquisite dishes and silver cutlery on the table, as if she saw her brother's hateful face again.

The entire lord's mansion was shaking because of Mary's anger, and everyone was terrified.

Because, if she got angry, it meant someone would have to pay the price, and the price was life.

That night, more than ten bodies were carried out of the Rose Lord's Mansion.

Mary's gorgeous clothes were stained with blood. She took off her outer robe and handed it to Nancy Scalia, the maid beside her.

Perhaps because of her mysophobia, she even took off all her clothes and stood in front of the servants.

But no servant dared to look at her, even though she had a great appearance and a perfect figure.

Even her third husband, Lor Jackson, was so terrified he couldn't look her in the eye.

No one would not be terrified to see her kill so many people.

Nancy Scalia immediately put a new gown on her and wiped the blood off her hands.

"How's the cleanup going in Blue Moon Territory?"

Mary asked calmly.

"The Holy See sent people to clean up a month ago, but even now, there's still a lot of pollution left in Blue Moon Territory. They don't even dare to enter many places."

Nancy Scalia reports.

“And pollution?”

Mary raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the Witch of Disease, Dora, has completely lost control, but she is unwilling to leave. Moreover, the key to her collar has been lost and has never been found. Even a priest cannot kill the witch in this state. They can only wait for her magic power to be exhausted and die."

Nancy Scalia looked embarrassed, but fortunately Mary had calmed down and was not angry.

"Well, let Moria from Green Shade Territory go ahead and explore the way."

"I'm afraid our army will arrive first. Green Shade Territory and Blue Moon Territory are separated by the Bone Forest. It's basically impossible for Green Shade Territory to send a large army."

"Oh, look, fate always favors those with strength. In that case, there's no need to wait for him. A runaway witch whose magic power is about to run dry can't scare me away."

The corners of Mary's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a charming smile.

When she smiled, she was like a blood-stained rose, beautiful in her madness.

……

The army of Green Shade Territory gathered again, but this time it was not for a "battle", but to send Li En's fiancée Catherine back to Blue Moon Territory to inherit the position of lord.

Inside the luxurious carriage, Foreign Minister Alex Poole was still somewhat worried about this.

"Lord Li En, I feel like the king agreed a little too quickly. The news of our increase hasn't even reached Yalong City yet."

"That's because His Majesty the King knows we will definitely increase our stakes, and he will definitely make this choice."

Li En said with a smile.

"Are you really not worried about angering Lady Mary?"

Alex Poole's heart began to thump when he thought of the infamous Mary Frank.

"No one dares to anger this southern overlord, and no one can anger this southern overlord, except Augustus Frank, the king of the Holy Empire."

Li En said calmly, "So, I didn't anger Mary. The one who really angered Mary was His Majesty the King. What does it have to do with me, Li En Moria?"

Alex Poole wiped the sweat from his forehead. He knew that what Li En said was nonsense, but he inexplicably wanted to believe it.

"Okay, but no matter who angered Lady Mary, we are already on her side. Are you prepared to deal with it?"

"First, enter the Blue Moon Territory. Once we're in, we'll be legitimate. The next step is to defend it."

Why did Li En clear the Bone Forest? Wasn't it just to advance into the Blue Moon Territory?
Li En did not bring Sophie with him on this long journey.

Because Sophie had to stay in Green Shade to look after the house.

Just like Mary, she absolutely cannot take Celestina, the witch from Rose Territory, with her on the expedition.

Everyone should prevent their homes from being robbed.

But in order to show his importance to Mary, Li En brought out an army of 10 this time, claiming to have an army of 20, divided into three groups.

The forced march arrives first, the supplies are in the middle, and the backup is at the back.

The army has a large population, and the biggest problem is supplies and logistics. Fortunately, the Golden Forest has become a natural supply depot, and the goblins can provide a lot of medicine and even scouts.

These scouts are better at gathering intelligence than human survey teams and can greatly reduce casualties.

Li En met the goblin princess Julia again, and Julia also turned into a female general.

She rode on a unicorn and led goblin scouts to help gather military intelligence.

Li En knew that this must be because she had made concessions in her political career and chose to join the battlefield, retreating in order to advance.

He suddenly admired Julia a little, but unfortunately he still didn't like green skins.

His aesthetic taste has returned to normal, and he has rewarded the excess life essence to his capable subordinates.

For example, Cobb, Robson and others.

This led to the fact that although Li En did not like Julia's appearance, the senior military officials all liked Julia and became her admirers.

Li En felt that compared to the improvement in strength, this small sacrifice was nothing.

Cobb and others will definitely understand him, especially Robson who has already married several goblin wives.

The army passed through the Bone Forest and arrived at the border area of ​​​​Blue Moon Territory.

Outside the high walls is a temporary residence for clergymen.

Archpriest Cosem Pizarro is the main person sent by the Holy See to deal with this S-level pollution. He has 2 priests, 10 pastors, and the Pole Star Knights under him.

The Knight Commander of the Pole Star Knights is the five-star Glory Knight Hickman, who has two four-star Glory Knight cadres and ten three-star Glory Knights under him. The rest are two-star knights and one-star knights, totaling 2 people.

This is a truly elite knight order.

Such a team of pollution removal is already a very gorgeous lineup.

But compared with the large army brought by Li En, they seemed outnumbered.

Just when Li En was about to lead his men into the high wall, he was blocked by the Knights.

"You can't enter the Blue Moon Territory."
