Ximengsi Continent’s southern part, Adrian Empire’s border area, the central area of Needham Plain, Marcus Plain.

The confrontation between the fortresses of Marquis Charles and Clyde continued. Although both sides’ main force had yet to fight a decisive battle, they both sent scouts to probe the actual situation of each other. Marquis Charles’s party had an advantage in the number of troops, double that of Clyde’s side. However, Marquis Charles was quite cautious. In the past, basically, all those who had looked down on Steinbeck Fief’s troops had knelt down, either defeated or surrendered.

Marquis Charles was unwilling to take the initiative to attack until they determined how those previous victories were achieved by Steinbeck Fief. Although only 40,000 or so troops among over 120,000 troops were left now, Marquis Charles hadn’t given up yet. He firmly believed that it was impossible for him, a seasoned old general, to be easily outdone by Steinbeck Fief, this nobody.

The three tycoon clans that secretly controlled Adrian Empire had sent envoys in an attempt to draw Steinbeck Fief over to join their clique. And under the hidden manipulation of Clyde, only Miss Mia, the envoy sent by Stuart Clan, obtained the chance to interact further. Mia wasn’t that guarded against Princess Saras. Considering both of them were girls, she explained her relation with the Stuart Clan in detail.

Mia was the young lady of a declining aristocrat clan. It was not surprising for her to have an aristocratic temperament. Since her clan was declining, she accepted Stuart Clan’s assistance. Therefore, she ran errands for that clan. This former young lady of an Earl family was a rare spirit class magician, moreover, an illusionist that was most difficult to cultivate, which in itself was a talent. It was not surprising that various forces win her over. It was very expensive to cultivate a magician. Without assistance, Mia who was from a declining aristocrat clan couldn’t afford the high tuition fee.

“Miss Mia, are you interested in changing your sponsor? Stuart Clan, after all, is a merchant, and a merchant values money highly. How about I sponsor your tuition fee?”

“This... this is not too good! Miss Saras, I...”

“Mia, consider it properly, you can come to Steinbeck Fief and look for me at any time. As for the Stuart Clan’s proposal, we don’t accept it. Needham Plain, we’ll not allow three tycoon clans to intervene in this region.”

“Miss Saras, like this, you will simultaneously offend three tycoon clans! The consequences...”

“No Problem! Our fief doesn’t need any sponsor, moreover, my family’s Master also doesn’t intend to give them a face.”

Princess Saras had am resolute attitude. Her tone was also resolute and decisive. There was almost no hesitation. At first glance, anyone could see that there was no room for maneuver. Mia couldn’t continue to negotiate. When she was preparing to leave, Princess Saras picked up an already prepared small box from the table beside her, opened it and give it to Mia. There was a beautiful black gold ring in the box, and on the ring, there were strange magic lines. As a magician, Mia could sense huge magic power form the ring.

“Miss Saras, this is...”

“Mia, this is my family’s... my gift to you. Although the transaction failed, the feelings of each other still exist!”

“But Miss Saras, this ring is too expensive, I don’t have enough gold coins...”

“I’m giving it to you for free, I can’t let you return empty-handed!”

Under the insistence of Princess Saras, Mia could only accept this strange black gold ring. She was so poor that she couldn’t even purchase any magic equipment. Although the use of this strange ring was unknown, it contained huge magic power. Even if she couldn’t use this ring’s true function, she could use it as a magic power storage treasure.

Mia happily put on this strange black gold ring. That black gold ring, in fact, was the ring of Ancient Demon King. Just the agents of Ancient Demon King on the continent were qualified to wear and use it. It came with the function of positioning the target. It was obtained from Ancient Demon King Andrisno to use as a locating device for tracking targets, which was overkill and also reckless waste of resources. However, with his authority, Clyde used it to trace Mia’s whereabouts.

Ignorant Mia expressed a thousand thanks to Princess Saras, which made Princess Saras feel somewhat embarrassed. After all, she had cheated Mia. She just slightly turned her head to looking away in order to avoid Mia’s sincere look. In just this fashion, Mia wore a tracking device without any doubt. Now, her actions, paths and latest movements were all already open to Clyde, this behind-the-scenes manipulator.

......

Clyde followed his younger sister Lucifer and arrived at this mysterious bloodkin lolita’s temporary room in Saka Fortress. Clyde had never been in her room before. Since he had an intimate relation with the beauties around him, with the exception of Lucifer’s room, the other women’s rooms were open for Clyde. He could go and leave as he pleased. In the beginning, the beauties were somewhat unaccustomed, but they adapted later. Unlike before, they didn’t even conceal their clothing and so on before the arrival of Clyde. Now, when Clyde strolled around, he could roughly guess what type of undergarments the beauties he encountered wore.

After entering Lucifer’s room, the picture imagined by Clyde didn’t appear. It was a cute-style girly room. Other than the thick bloody smell that might be a special perfume or a real smell of blood, everything else was no different from an ordinary girl’s room. There were no wicked scenes like Clyde had imagined.

“What’s wrong, Big Brother Clyde, did you expect some stimulating scenes?”

“How can that be? I just didn’t expect your room’s layout to be so normal!”

A hint of regret flashed through Clyde’s eyes. Lucifer noticed it and a hint of devilish smile appeared on her face. She then stretched out her little hand and pulled Clyde’s hand, leading the way. She brought Clyde to a bookshelf in the room, gently pressed a book in the bookshelf and the bookshelf moved to the right side, revealing a hidden door behind it. Opening the hidden door and entering, a flight of steps appeared in front of them, and going down the steps, they arrived at the underground world of Saka Fortress.

Clyde had underestimated Lucifer. The wicked erotic attribute of this mysterious bloodkin Lolita had not changed. This normal room wouldn’t explain the problems. The preys hunted by Lucifer, those white lambs, those being trained to become blood servants and blood servants were in other rooms. Thus, Clyde couldn’t see any problems for the time being.

The underground world was illuminated by a torch. Not far away, there were a few underground ratmen, restlessly watching over this side with sneaky appearance. After they saw the arrival of Clyde and Lucifer, they immediately stepped a few steps forward and saluted Clyde and Lucifer. Clyde temporarily didn’t know the situation, so he wisely chose to remain silent. He decided to wait and see what Lucifer planned to do first!

“We pay respect to two lords. We have sincerely come to seek refuge with you. That incapable ruler Braund actually lowered our status and went to cooperate with the Human Race. This simply is a humiliation to us, underground ratmen.”

“Boolean, we need to confirm your sincerity so that we can decide whether to save you all or not.”

“Lord, I understand, this is the thing you need, please take a look!”

As it turned out that these underground ratmen opposed the cooperation between the Rat King Braund and the Human Race. They thought that it was detrimental to the face of ratmen, and the other humanoid monsters would look down on them. Boolean, this ratman who had taken the lead, was the cousin of Braund. In the past, he was defeated during the struggle for the throne of Rat King. Ever since then, he held a grudge. He wanted to overthrow Braund’s rule and become the new Rat King. But it was very difficult to achieve this just relying on itself. It had to rely on external forces. Therefore, it chose to seek refuge with Clyde’s side.

Boolean in itself couldn’t defeat Braund in strength, but this fellow belonged to the strategy branch and was good at scheming. If it were not for Clyde accidentally killing Insect King before, turning the underground humanoid monsters, multiple legged monsters a host of dragons without a head, Boolean had originally planned to join forces with insectmen monsters to deal with Rat King Braund. But now, that fellow was already dead, it could only rely on Clyde’s side.

Although betrayal was very immoral, Clyde didn’t mind it. It didn’t matter who the Rat King was as long as it didn’t affect his control over Needham Plain. The thing Boolean brought was enough to express their sincerity. It was a complete layout map of Kurrus Fortress where even the number of troops placed in each area was marked in detail.

“Lord, the human troops above ground are almost completely unguarded against the underground. We have secretly dug several underground passages leading to Marcus Fortress without Barund’s knowledge. If you set out from there, you can catch them unprepared. We are willing to show the way for the Lord’s army.”

“What about Braund’s side? It should be blocked, after all, they have cooperative relations!”

“We request Lords to help in this matter. We hope that Lords will help us in killing Braund.”

“Deal!”

Although Boolean was a ratman, its speaking tone was exactly like an unscrupulous human merchant. His complacent appearance was also just like a crafty merchant. After Clyde signaled by nodding, Lucifer agreed to Boolean’s request, expressing the willingness to assist the other party to kill the Rat King Braund. A plan to carry out a surprise attack on Marcus Fortress was quickly formed. According to the plan’s requirement, Clyde set out underground to kill Rat King Braund. Boolean had already told the specific hiding location of Braund to Clyde. Now, it was just waiting for Clyde to kill Braund, then it would legitimately inherit the throne of underground Rat King.

This was a secret operation, so Clyde didn’t bring any followers. He went alone. In the past, when he was sneaking into Kurrus Fortress, he was matchless. Now, it was the same, just the place was changed. According to Boolean, the middleman who negotiated this cooperation with underground ratmen was the Dark Shaman of the Human Race. Therefore, Clyde planned to get rid of those unpleasant Undead Shamans too in passing after executing Rat King Braund.
