Ark, I, the Lord of the Succubus Court

It seems that the Duke of Cavendish has finally arrived.

"The fight has already started, are you really going to stay here and play chess with me?"

The Hundred Yuan brother lit up his pipe, and a red dot flickered on the clock tower.

Luo Ji picked up the wine pot and poured wine into the small porcelain cup of Brother One Hundred Yuan. "The Duke of Victoria Wellington and the Victoria Londinium City Defense Forces are fighting against the Duke of Victoria. Why should I go?"

He had no intention of taking part in the battle at the city gate.

Now the situation is:

The Duke of Wellington, who may be a loyal minister or a traitor, and the city defense forces are against the Duke of Cavendish, who is 100% a traitor.

Why should they participate?

It doesn't matter if the Duke of Wellington and the city defense troops die.

If that were to happen, wouldn't it be better for them?

Victoria's affairs should be left to the Victorians.

This is not about leveling up by beating monsters, where you can gain experience points, level up, and get gold coins to buy equipment. This is a war, and people will die in a war, and there will be battle casualties!

Since someone has already taken over, they will definitely not get involved in that messy water, giving others a chance to show their merits and prove their loyalty in front of the new Queen Victoria.

The Lord of the Succubus Royal Court, the Shapeshifter, the big brother who paid a hundred bucks for the monks, the remaining dozen or so uninjured Sarkaz and Steam Knights... they serve as the general reserve team.

The general reserve will not move, and they will not participate in other matters unless the situation is really urgent.

The chaos in the city was completely left to the Queen's appointment as Deep Pool, the Tara people, the infected team, as well as the police officers of the Londinium Police Station, the Victoria Court Bailiffs and other institutions to deal with.

Is it reasonable for the elite forces of the regular army, or even the top force on this land, to attack civilians?

It’s outrageous. If it’s outrageous, then just don’t do anything.

It's hard to say about this land, but in another situation, the person who is most active in doing such things will 100% be the one who will be eaten by the Holy Separators afterwards, and will be liquidated and thrown out to take the blame.

If you can, stay out of this kind of thing.

Mandela had to go to the court of Fafner. She would definitely not die, but she would probably lose the official position given by the queen and then be imprisoned for a while.

If given a choice, Luo Ji would choose to fight the Duke of Cavendish outside the city rather than get involved in the trouble in the city.

What if Reed is not happy afterwards?

Or maybe they think their identity as Sarkaz is not eye-catching enough and they have to jump out and make themselves the target of public criticism?

As long as there is no obvious sign of a big jump, the general reserve will never move.

Let the duke, garrison, court staff, civilians and many other Victorian characters make as much noise as they can.

Besides, banks, life support devices, water plants, energy supply cores, large factories, the Shard, city defense arteries, Her Majesty the Queen's palace, major transportation routes, and other facilities that are most important to a city's people's livelihood, economy, and military, don't they need people to keep an eye on them?

The General Reserve is responsible for monitoring these facilities.

Do you want to run away with a huge sum of money and abandon Victoria who is ready to accept the Tara people and the infected people?

That's a nice thought~

No one is allowed to run!

If you have the ability and endurance, then go to the Terra Wasteland with bare hands and play a game of wilderness survival against dangerous creatures such as Originium Worms, Ore Disease Infected Creatures, etc.

111 Sit down and share Victoria

The black chess piece fell onto the chessboard.

Luo Ji blocked it without even looking at it.

There is no need to think too much. Board games are just games. Just have fun playing them.

It was at this moment that he received the information about the Self-Flame through mental communication.

Weicao, Vina and Tianhuo were unsure about the Duke of Castor's affairs and asked him if he wanted to meet the Duke of Castor in person.

"You can tell her where I am."

After Luo Ji replied, Tianhuo didn't say anything else.

She was probably too busy with the affairs of Londinium to be in the mood to talk to him any more.

After he had won several rounds of Gobang against his Hundred Dollar Brother, there was a knock on the bell tower door.

"Please come in."

Luo Ji stood up.

The old wooden door bearings made a whimpering sound, and the figure of the Duke of Castle, the elderly Aunt Filin, slowly walked into the house.

Luo Ji smiled at the old lady Feilin and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Duke. The city is in chaos right now, and all the staff have been pulled out to stabilize the situation. There is no servant who can open the door for you."

"Oh?"

The Duke of Caister covered his mouth with his white lace-gloved hands and chuckled softly, "I don't think I'm so old and ugly that I can't even open a door."

"Old and ugly?"

Luo Ji raised his eyebrows. "Your Excellency the Duke is so beautiful, but the term 'old and ugly' has nothing to do with you."

He took the initiative to pull out a chair for the Duke of Caster.

The Duke was a wealthy man, one of the richest men in Victoria.

If she doesn't become king, then whoever becomes king will need her help to win the hearts of the people and stabilize the situation.

It would be best if the Duke of Caster would support Reed.

However, since she had come to Londinium alone, the only thing left to discuss was how to divide the money afterwards.

The financial backer of Kjerag's SilverGray family, the driving force behind Kjerag's reforms, the Duke who owns the strongest intelligence network in Victoria, the financial backer of the Self-Rescue Army in the plot... This Duke of Kaster is still a ruthless character who has a lot of weight in discussing how to divide the money after the success.

"is it?"

Duke Caister chuckled, his eyes fell on Brother One Hundred Dollars, and he said with a smile: "Would you like to introduce this friend to me?"

As soon as Luo Ji opened his mouth, Brother One Hundred Yuan took the teacup and placed it in front of Duke Kaster, then picked up the small teapot and poured tea for her. "I'm selling tea leaves. I came from Shangshu."

Duke Caister took off his lace gloves that were longer than his forearms, held up the teacup with both hands and nodded to Brother One Hundred Dollars, "I'm a little flattered. The merchants on the border say that this is the tea that only Queen Victoria can drink. 50 grams costs tens of thousands of Victorian gold coins."

She put it to her lips, took a sip, and praised it repeatedly.

"It's worthy of being the tea that was smuggled into Victoria without the knowledge of the old official... Hmm~ The fragrance lingers on my lips and teeth, and the aftertaste is sweet..."

"You don't have to drink if you're not used to it."

Brother One Hundred Yuan interrupted Duke Kaster's boastful praise, "When I came here, I bought old tea inside, 50 Longmen coins for 20 kilograms, buy 100 kilograms and get 10 kilograms free."

He was clearly sabotaging.

"If it can be shipped to Victoria, the price will not be the same."

Duke Caister smiled and said, "Fifty thousand Longmen coins 50... Oh, it's 5 Longmen coins. Even one or two taels is not expensive."

"One catty of Da Yan equals 16 taels."

"Really? It's so complicated, just like the units of measurement like lon and pound. It's annoying to count them all."

The Duke of Caister kept a smile on his face.

After drinking tea and chatting for a while, the Duke of Caister said with a smile:

"Hmm~ Wait a minute. Another friend is coming, Victoria's most upright knight, His Excellency the Duke of Windermere. I notified her to come quickly when I was still in the territory, otherwise she would miss the coronation ceremony of Her Majesty the Queen."

The Duke of Caster shook his head and said in a grumbling voice:

“Eh~ I originally thought that Her Majesty Lavshini would take some time to enter the city for the coronation, but who knew that things would go so drastically wrong that I didn’t even have time to prepare a gift for Her Majesty.

Wellington is really a jerk. He kept pestering me in the territory, saying that he was a soldier and didn't know what gift to give to His Majesty. In the end, he said that he was short of money and had to ask me to pay for the gift first. And the Duke of Windermere is really a jerk..."

"Really? Then it's going to be a lively night."

Luo Ji picked up the small blue and white porcelain teapot and poured tea for the chattering Duke of Castle.

It is false to chatter and talk nonsense. All the words of Duke Kaster can be translated.

According to her:

The constitutional bill for Hill County had long attracted her attention; she was also familiar with the speeches given by Reed, and even knew that Reed was going to be crowned emperor.

The Duke of Wellington has strong military power, but war requires money. The Duke of Wellington is good at leading troops in battle, but he is not good at making money. If a war breaks out and the Duke of Wellington cannot quickly control the situation, then the Duke of Wellington will be dragged down by logistics and other problems.

The Duke of Windermere is a good Duke and an honest man. The good and honest Duke Windermere only wants Victoria to become a better person. When they divide the money, they can give Duke Windermere less or none at all, and even let Duke Windermere pay for it.

The Duke of the Border...

Kaster is probably showing off his strength and using it as a bargaining chip to get more money in subsequent negotiations.

Whether what she said is true or false, whether it is objective fact or just bluffing and bragging to get more money is something that needs to be discussed.

However, no matter which the situation is, the fact that Reed is the new king of Victoria has been settled, and everyone has temporarily accepted it.

What remains is how to divide Victoria's power and interests.

Who has more, who has less...we can all sit down and talk slowly.

When the tea leaves became lighter in flavor, Luo Ji and the others waited for the Duke of Windermere, who brought news about several other dukes, saying that the Duke of Borders and Godottin would have to wait a while longer.

So another group of people drank tea, listened to the sound of rain and gunfire, waited and waited, and talked about various topics.

While waiting for people, a small accident happened. The people who were placed in the city by the Duke of Cavendish, who was about to die and whose money would be divided among everyone, seemed to have received orders from the duke, and at once, they led countless people to the main road leading to the palace.

Looking around, the streets are almost a sea of ​​light made up of flashlights and other lighting objects.

112 Long Live Her Majesty! 4K

"It's so lively down there, it looks like no one can sleep tonight."

Duke Caister looked at the scene below, smiled and raised his teacup to Luo Ji.

Luo Ji also smiled and raised his glass to her.

Whether or not we can gain more power and benefits depends on the performance of our dear Queen Victoria.

That depends on the reed itself.

Her dear Mr. Ezekel also has to fight for benefits for the Sarkaz. How much she, Queen Victoria, can fight for Victoria depends on her own ability.

If Her Majesty the Queen wants Victoria to get better, she must show the abilities of a true Queen.

Luo Ji had no intention of leaving to help Wei Cao.

He simply picked up the small teapot and added tea to the cups of Brother 100, the Duke of Caster, and the Duke of Windermere in turn.

……

……

"Why?! They are just a few infected people!"

"My son just killed an infected person! Why should he be hanged!"

"Shouldn't it be right to imprison the infected in the dungeons and release them when the factory needs them to work? Everyone is doing that in secret!"

"Get out of here, Tara people! Tara people don't deserve to be treated the same as us..."

At first, it was just a group of shills arranged by the Duke of Cavendish who poured into the streets, but as time passed, more and more people gathered on the main road of the palace.

Those civilians who usually played the game behind closed doors gradually joined the team.

It was not known whether it was because the Duke of Cavendish had arranged enough spies and the slogans he shouted were loud and powerful enough, which had enough appeal, leading to a scene of strength in numbers, allowing the civilians to give each other confidence and overcome their fear of institutions such as the Deep Pool and the police station.

Or this time, what Reed wanted to do finally touched their interests, and they might come into contact with infected people in their future life and work... Anyway, they all walked out of the door to protest against the decrees of Her Majesty Queen Reed, protest against the court presided over by Fafner, and loudly oppose Reed, the King of Drake.

Maybe this is the last chance for many?

If they don't take advantage of the fact that there is still a Duke to take charge of the situation, and there is no parliament anymore, they will have to accept the fact that the infected and the Tara people will also be protected, and they can no longer bully the infected and the Tara people at will.

If they don’t try again, they might be caught and brought to court to stand trial!

The matter of the infected, the matter of the Tara people... and those damn Originium materials used to blow up Hill County.

Also, there is...
