[In August 1780, Ash led his troops to defeat the Benicia army led by Bernard, and the reputation of the Magic Armor Iron Pagoda spread throughout Benicia in an instant.]

[In the same month, the Holy Crusaders defeated the noble faction led by Duke Avid, and the reputation of Princess Vene was greatly improved.]

Current support rate: 45%

The Holy Crusaders began to expand towards the major territories in Benicea. Wherever they went, most of the nobles in the territories surrendered voluntarily, while a small number simply fled with their wealth, not even caring about their territories.

There is no way, the reputation of the Demon Armor Iron Pagoda is too scary!

Once the formation is set and the buff is applied, it will be the Death Charge.

Now there is a saying circulating throughout Benicia: Once the iron float comes out, there will be corpses everywhere!

[At the end of August, due to the threat of the Holy Crusaders, Prince Eret requested the King of Benicia to withdraw the expeditionary army and return to the country to suppress the rebellion, but was rejected by the King of Benicia.]

"Father, do you still not want to give up the idea of ​​invasion at this point?"

When Wei Nei saw the message, she couldn't help but frown.

Honestly, she didn't understand her father's desire to expand the territory and strengthen the kingdom.

The Kingdom of Benicia is already very powerful, right?

Wei Nei found it incomprehensible that someone could abandon even family ties for the sake of expansion.

Could it be that, as Ash said, my father was deceived by treacherous ministers?

Wei Nei felt that this possibility was very high.

However, she felt relieved when she saw King Benicia reject Eret's request.

Having said that, Eret's side still has an absolute numerical advantage at the moment.

The Benicia regular army has 100,000 elite soldiers, but the defenses stationed in various places, plus the private soldiers in the hands of the nobles, are far more than that number. If she hadn't instigated the prisoners to be used as cannon fodder, it's hard to say how long the 25,000 of the Holy Cross could have held out.

[In early September, Ash ordered the people of Benicia to "clean up the court" and eliminate the treacherous officials, citing the reason that "there are no honest officials in the court and the treacherous officials are in power."]

【Civilian riots broke out in Baghdad territory.】

[Civilian riots occurred in Gwell territory. 】

【Lord Agtamu responded to the call and led 3,000 soldiers to join. 】

【…】

On the strategic map, war signs appeared inside red areas, while some originally neutral factions turned into friendly green patterns.

The Holy Cross Army also broke through the 50,000 mark in one fell swoop, having been reduced to 35,000 people at previous loss.

[Famous general Ash obtains exclusive entry - 'Plotting Chaos in the World'. 】

[Ash activates the "Plotting Chaos in the World" effect. Within ten action rounds, all nobles whose ambitions are higher than morality have a certain probability of rebellion. The public security in Benicea decreases, and the probability of riots increases significantly.]

Seeing this entry, Wei Nei was stunned for a moment.

Didn’t you say that you want to eliminate treacherous officials?

No matter how you look at it, this skill seems to be something only a treacherous minister should have, right?

"No, how could Ash be a traitor? This must be a necessity of the situation. Otherwise, it would be difficult to break through Benicia's defense... and he is a noble whose ambition is higher than morality. It is obvious that he is not a good person."

He has great ambitions but low moral standards. Is he a good person?

This is definitely a Benician termite!

As Ash is the one who casts the skill, he himself is definitely not within the range of the skill's effect, which means that Ash's ambition is lower than morality, so he can't be a traitor.

This is good too. I can pull these guys out with one skill and get rid of them all at once when I purge the court!

It's time to correct the trend in Nicaea!

After the effect of plotting chaos in the world was triggered, the entire Benicea immediately became chaotic.

Originally because of the impact of the war, riots broke out in large areas, the ambitions of the aristocratic forces were driven by the mechanism of the war for the throne, and civil strife continued. Now another big fire has started. The forces that originally belonged to the territory of Benicia began to imitate Ash and gathered troops under the pretext of "rescuing the rebellion from the will of heaven."

Wei Nei soon discovered that each territory on the strategic map had a status display, such as "in riot" and "independence", etc. There was also a troop strength display, representing the number of troops of the commander in the territory.

"What the hell are you doing with Feng Tianjing?"

Seeing the nobles’ growing ambitions and wishing they could become kings, Wei Nei was speechless.

Don't you have any idea of ​​what you are thinking? Don't insult my gold card, we are playing the orthodox way!

Although she was annoyed, Weiner had to admit that the chaos in these places created an excellent opportunity for the Crusaders to attack.

Although the army was less than fifty miles away from the royal city, there was still no sign of the soldiers returning.

Is my father going to fight to the death?

As I thought about this, a shocking piece of news appeared on the interface—

[In October 1780, the King of Benicia died, and Crown Prince Aret succeeded to the throne and became the new King of Benicia.]

[In early October, Eret ordered the return of the expeditionary army and announced the removal of Winnie von August's royal status.]

Wei Nei was startled.

"Father is dead???"

......

......

Volume 48: Chapter 46 Chapter Ash uses the emperor to control the princes? Wei Nei: I am happy with it! [Subscribe]

The news of King Benicia's sudden death caught everyone by surprise, including Ash.

After the Battle of Atocta, Eret was chosen as the crown prince. He had actually guessed that there was some kind of deal between the King of Benicia and the Holy See.

From a war enthusiast's perspective, the only thing that can make the four kingdoms make concessions is territorial expansion.

So while he was developing his power over the past year or so, he was also waiting for an opportunity.

When the King of Penichesia could no longer bear it, he began to implement his plan.

Once Benicia started the war of aggression, coupled with the chaos within the kingdom and the situation in Venice, he would have enough reasons to obey the will of heaven and implement the plan to purge the court.

By then, with Benicea facing internal and external troubles, his chances of winning the battle for the throne would be much greater.

But we didn’t expect that the King of Benicia would die before we even reached the royal city.

Death from illness, do you believe it?

Ash didn't believe it.

His first reaction was that this kid Eret was capable and could achieve great things.

The King of Benicia obviously had his own plans for stationing the kingdom's elite troops abroad, otherwise he would not have been willing to call back the troops who had gone out to fight given the strength of the Holy Crusaders.

On the one hand, it is estimated that they are implementing an expansion policy, and on the other hand, they are most likely waiting for the civil war to be almost over, at which time a hundred thousand elite troops will directly clean up the mess.

King Benicia could tolerate it, but Eret couldn't.

There is a war for the throne and a plot to disrupt the world. Those who died at the hands of the Holy Crusaders were all from his faction. The old lady’s family is almost running out of people. If the fight continues, will the uncle of the Sky Sword Saint have to go out in person?

But no matter how strong a person is, even if he reaches the seventh level, he cannot be a match for tens of thousands of troops.

High-level talents usually carry out decapitation missions, but now is not the time for that.

But he couldn't mobilize the guards of the royal city, and the troops that went out to fight didn't come back. What could he do?

Ash was not trying to make excuses for the boy's beastly behavior, he just felt that compared to Venae, Eret was indeed decisive and ruthless. No wonder in the previous three simulations, Venae died at the first chance without hesitation.

But then again, Ash would prefer to have Venette be the king rather than someone like Eret.

Nothing else, easy to control!

Up to now in this simulation, Venetian's loyalty to him has exceeded the 80th level. Now that King Benicia is dead, if he kills Eret tomorrow, he will be the only designated "relative" of Her Highness Venetian.

When the time comes, who else can she kiss if not me?

Even if the simulation ends, those simulated princesses will be able to obtain memories like him, so this loyalty should be retained.

Therefore, no matter what the final result of this simulation is, it is already a huge profit for Ash.

Having said that, he is not willing to stop here.

After Eret ascended the throne, the power of his faction increased to a certain extent, and some of the originally neutral factions also began to side with him.

Although Vine's removal from the royal family status feels a bit like taking off pants to fart, it has to be said that it is indeed effective, just like "clearing the court" is also taking off pants to fart. Everyone knows what each other wants to do, but the problem is that knowing is knowing, but there must be a legitimate reason.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao was so powerful, but he still wanted to "use the emperor to command the princes". He did not claim to be an emperor, but his orders were more effective than the emperor's. In name, he protected the emperor, but in fact, he used the emperor's status to achieve his own goals.

To go further, in fact, Ash is now also in a state of holding the emperor hostage, but Wei Nei is willing to be held hostage by him.

The biggest reason why Airet kicked out Vene's identity as a princess and accused her of crimes was this. After all, Vene is a princess, but you are following a commoner. You follow her wherever she goes and do whatever she wants you to do. Who is the king after all?

Ash, you are a heretic!

Wei Nei, being controlled by heretics, is not worthy of being a member of the royal family!

Although it was also a rumor to achieve a goal, this trick did work, and as the King of Benicia, the weight of Eret's words was different from before.

Now that Vene has been stripped of her status as a princess, the actions of the Holy Crusade have lost their legitimacy. This has little impact at the moment. As long as the power of the Holy Crusade remains, no one dares to say anything openly.

Ash was worried about another aspect - the Holy See.

If it was a civil war in Benicia, the Holy See would have no reason to intervene.

But if it was an "outsider" invading Benicia, or even involving heresy, then if Benicia asked the Holy See for help, the latter would have reason to send troops.

The next moment, Wei Nei jumped onto the interface with an angry look on her face.

['Eret, you must have killed my father, you are worse than an animal! ']

Although Venetian felt disappointed and annoyed because King Benicia did not support her, he was still her father after all.

Even if she finally won the battle for the throne and became queen, she would not kill the King of Benicia.

But I didn't expect that Eret would do such a thing first!

If she hadn't simulated it, Wei Nei might not have guessed that it was Eret who did it, but after experiencing three deaths, she was 90% sure that the beast Eret had done something bad!

Besides, who are you to blame my Ash?

Which eye of yours saw me being manipulated?

What's wrong with me just letting Ash take care of it?

This is my tactic, you know nothing!

Venet's wave of accusations and angry declarations actually greatly boosted the morale of the Crusaders and also caused severe turmoil in the hearts of the people of Benicia.

If you kill your father to become king, you will always be criticized.

This really caught Ash off guard.

But, this wave of effects is indeed quite good.

The two Peniche royal family members openly resented each other, which became a bright spot on the battlefield for a while.

"We need to make a quick decision."

He stared at the rapidly changing map situation and began to speed up the offensive tempo.

Eret also began to withdraw troops from the front line.

[In October 1780, Bernard garrisoned the city of Icasi with 10 troops.]

Ikasi City is the only way to the Royal City, which is almost equivalent to the last line of defense. As long as you cross here, the gate of the Royal City is in front.

Bernard is a purple card with powerful attributes. Although he has failed before, he still has some abilities.

And defending a city is much simpler than a frontal attack.

However, due to the rush of time, he could only gather 20,000 people to defend the city, and most of them were city defense soldiers. Their quality was naturally inferior to that of the regular army maintained by the royal family.

Ash ordered that all the strongholds and barriers around the city be removed, and then sent in shield warriors to advance. With the added defense skills and magic, the shield warriors with high three-dimensional attributes were like an unbreakable city wall.

Boom! ~~

Amid the roar of war, the smoke from the magic explosion was accompanied by dust, but the effect of the explosion was not obvious.

[Felice: Oh my god, the defense capabilities of these shield soldiers are too high, right? They can't even be killed by magic cannons? ]

[Irelia: The defensive ability is very strong, but did you notice that Ash specially reserved the skills of the exclusive shield soldiers, waiting to use them at this time. I guess the basic attributes of these shield soldiers are very strong, and with the addition of various defensive skills, this effect will appear. ]
