Villain Lord: Both The Player And The Protagonist Want To Kill Me

Chapter 42 Earl Ampere’S Ambition

With the help of the Kuo-Tao fishmen, the mining of mithril mines has begun to get on track. Although their mining speed is average, it is still much better than humans who cannot swim.

It's not like Xiwei didn't consider asking players to do such a thing. It would be okay if it was a radium gold mine, but the mithril mine is too time-consuming and the output is still low. With this time, it is better to release some tasks that can allow players to improve their combat skills. .

Just squeezing him is not enough, after all, he will be a powerful force in his hands from now on.

…

"Your Majesty, Earl Ampere's army has arrived in Most Territory, but they did not attack the newly appointed lord and came directly to us."

In the conference hall of the castle, Clemont was reporting the intelligence brought by the spies to Xi Wei.

"Who is the current lord of Most? The original Viscount Manderf?"

A middle-aged man with a pale face and two curls of mustache appeared in Xiwei's mind.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Is he a fool? If Count Ampere doesn't hit him, why doesn't he take the initiative to intercept him?"

Xi Wei almost laughed in anger, thinking that he was the king, and the enemies marched straight into the royal capital, and the nearby lords acted as if they had no eyes.

He knew that this was related to the lack of military strength in Most Territory, and the current lord must also be quite complaining about the code he promulgated.

So even if Viscount Manderff discovered Count Ampere's army, he would turn a blind eye and just destroy it.

But these are not reasons.

The attitude of these lords is very bad.

Can't stop it without troops?

no problem.

But can't he send soldiers to inform him that this Winter King can't do it?

Xiwei's own spies must be the first to discover something strange.

"It seems that in the previous meeting, killing one was not enough. These nobles have not yet figured out their position."

Xiwei folded his hands and dragged his chin, with a cold light in his blue eyes.

He doesn't have to ask these nobles to become lords. With the high-end power of the country now in his own hands, he can even let players become lords.

But there was one thing that Xiwei still hadn't figured out.

If the army of the Andorra Empire was invading, he could understand it. After all, he, the Winter King, had just taken office and the country was in chaos.

In the eyes of the King of the Andorra Empire, he must not have many troops at this moment. It is the time when a fat fish on the chopping board is ready to be slaughtered.

But even so, it would be a bit too arrogant for an earl to want to pick peaches, right?

Does Count Ampere really think that his Winter Empire has no troops at all?

After thinking about this, Xiwei smiled coldly.

Since Count Ampere is looking for death himself, don't blame him for being rude. As for the capital of the Andorra Empire, they are probably still having a headache from the naga.

"Assemble the army and use spies to keep an eye on Count Ampere's movements. After three days, we will take the initiative and beat out his brains."

"Your will is obeyed, Your Majesty."

…

The border of the Winter Empire, the Earldom of Most.

The army under Count Ampere was getting closer and closer to the Eagle Territory. They were traveling unimpeded along the way, and the newly appointed Count Manderv did not even dare to take a look.

This allowed Earl Ampere to once again confirm the fact that the Winter King was short of military strength.

Logically speaking, he should wait for more detailed information from the capital. After all, there are so many high-level professionals in the capital, and the information obtained is more real and detailed.

However, since the royal capital has been entangled with Naga, no news about the Winter Empire came.

His intelligence capabilities were limited. He only knew that Lord Eagle and Marquis Calante of Cologne and other lords attacked Dragonfire City and killed the Pope. However, in the end, all these armies were exhausted. The first prince and second prince of Cologne successively Die.

In the end, the only surviving Eagle Lord collected the fruits of victory.

Count Ampere believes that under such circumstances, the Eagle Lord, the newly appointed Winter King, will definitely not have many troops left.

Think about it, the Winter King was originally just an earl, and his military strength was at most about the same as his own. After fighting a brutal siege, how could he have more and more troops?

Forced by the total reasons and instigated by Viscount Bouton, Earl Ampere became more and more greedy. He knew that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to be promoted to the top noble of the empire.

Therefore, he did not notify the king, but secretly united several viscountries under his command, assembled more than 20,000 troops, gathered here and there, and gathered a total of eight sky knights to deal with the ruined Winter City. A surprise attack was launched.

He was still very cautious, advancing slowly and steadily along the way. The spies kept spreading out to observe the performance of nearby lords.

Then I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no army to stop them.

Winter City is finished.

The sun was blazing in the sky and there were no clouds in the sky. Count Ampere stood on the high rock wall, looking at the mighty army under his command and feeling filled with pride.

The political system of the Andorra Empire is different from that of Cologne. There are various viscountries under one count. Unlike the territory of the Cologne Empire, which is completely independent, its appeal and military power can be more concentrated. (I mentioned this when I wrote about Bouton earlier)

For example, the former Buton Territory was a viscounty subordinate to the Earldom of Ampere.

With a military strength of 20,000, more than 400 earth knights, six sky knights from the superior marquis, and two legion mages, such cutting-edge power is already much stronger than the strength of a marquis in the Cologne Empire. .

Not to mention that Count Ampere had prepared sufficient siege equipment. He really couldn't think of how he should lose.

"The advantage is mine, haha..."

Earl Ampere smiled proudly and murmured to himself.

He could already vaguely see the desperate look on King Winter's face.

When the time comes, he will not only snatch the fruits of King Winter's victory, but he will also demolish his palace in front of King Winter and play with his women.

There is nothing more satisfying and proud than humiliating a king. By then, the entire Andorra Empire will spread his name as Duke of Ampere!

Earl Ampere had already thought of this name, so he decided to call him Duke Falcon.

…

Just when Earl Ampere was complacent, in his territory, Ampere Castle, more than a thousand kilometers away, welcomed two earth knights from the royal capital.

They came specifically to deliver news from the royal capital.

"Is Master Ampere here?"

A majestic earth knight dismounted and took off his helmet, revealing his handsome and majestic face.

He put the reins in the hands of the castle maid, and he did not forget to use his fingers to tickle the palm of the pretty maid's hand, which also made the latter's heart tremble and she was filled with embarrassment.

Amber Castle's butler looked at his nose and heart, pretending not to see the movements of the Earth Knight, and responded indifferently:

"Lord Ampei is not here. He has already led his army to attack the capital of the Winter Empire."

The Earth Knight was stunned when he heard this, his face became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye, his tone became high-pitched, and he was slightly anxious:

"When did it happen? How long has the Earl been there?"

"The Earl has been away from the territory for five days, and he should be almost at Winter City now."

The castle steward looked puzzled. He didn't know why the face of the earth knight in front of him suddenly became so gloomy. You must know that this time the attack on the earl is inevitable.

"Five days?!"

The Earth Knight almost fell to the ground. He and another Earth Knight looked at each other, immediately got on their horses, put on their armor, and no longer thought of flirting with the maid.

"Damn it! We have to chase the Earl back. The Winter Empire cannot be defeated. Not only did the Winter King attack Dragon Fire City without losing many troops, he also concentrated the country's high-end forces to become a dictator."

"What's even more shocking is that the Winter King is a member of the Holy See of Light. It is said that he has broken through to the level of legend. Although it is a bit incredible, one thing is for sure. The Earl is definitely no match for the Winter King."

The Earth Knight explained anxiously, not even having time to drink.

"I hope...it's too late..."

He raised his whip and slapped the horse's butt hard, and in the astonished eyes of all the castle servants, he and another earth knight hurried away.
