Chapter 346

Ren had previously heard from Emily about the existence of this person.

Wetherley Drogonburg, whose grandfather was an uncle of King Silia, a pure dragonborn, violated the family tradition and married a non-dragonborn woman, and gave birth to Wetherley's father. And Weatherly was the product of one of his father's drunken flings, an illegitimate child.

According to seniority, Wetherley is Emily's cousin.

However, the Drogonburg family only recognizes the dragonborn as their own people, and it is impossible for Weatherley to enter the royal family and tarnish the noble blood of the true dragon.

Not to mention that he is an illegitimate child. In Congatro, who attaches great importance to birth, illegitimate children are scorned as bastards and have always been looked down upon by people.

However, after the fall of the Drogonburg dynasty, most of the dragonborn were killed, and Wetherley was lucky to escape because of his low status. He fled to Hightork with Emily. Because he was a few years older than Emily, he always regarded himself as the elder brother, and privately gave himself the surname "Drogonburg".

Wetherley is not qualified to practice the Drogonburg family's meditation method and cannot become a dragonborn apostle, so he joined the Temple of Storms and became a storm priest.

His talent is quite good, and he is backed by family power and resources. He is currently a ninth-level storm priest, only one step away from legend.

In the Church of Storms, Weatherley's status is not low.

Relying on his church and family connections, he thrived in High Tok, weaved a deep network of relationships among the nobles of High Tok, and established friendship with the city lord.

In Emilys' Fuguo Group, Wetherley's status is second only to her, and he can be regarded as the second person. Even Astan and Valogen are a little bit behind him.

At this moment, Weatherley stared at Ren coldly, not hiding his hostility at all.

Ren didn't seem to care, and looked away.

On the contrary, Varogen next to him, his eyes drifted to Wetherley, and the color of his soul changed in an instant, and then quickly returned to normal.

The carriage crossed the lawn of the manor and stopped in front of the main hall.

Varogen walked down the steps quickly, opened the car door himself like a butler, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, welcome home."

Emily put her hand on Varogen's arm and helped her get out of the car. She lifted the hood to reveal her beautiful face, and said softly, "Your Excellency Varogen, you don't have to."

"It is my honor to serve His Royal Highness." Valo said sincerely.

His eyes turned to Ren who had just dismounted, and a smile appeared on his round face, "My lord Earl, I have admired the Earl for a long time, and I finally saw him today. He really deserves to be a hero who is famous in the empire. So handsome and unrestrained, haha..."

This guy talks really well.

Ren complained in his heart, and nodded to him, "Your Excellency Valogen, you have won the prize."

"I have absolutely no false words." Varogen said vowedly, and then looked at the guards on the horse, "Your Excellency Astan, Mr. Dinglaji, Mr. Bigbell, and you all have worked hard."

In just one meeting, he took care of everyone.

Only then did Wetherley step forward and say, "Amelis, you have been in Modu for almost two years, and I almost went to find you. Fortunately, you are back." His eyes were full of affection, completely ignoring Others, it seems, are not worth mentioning.

Even a blind man could see Wetherley's thoughts. This was a provocation to Ren.

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Emily frowned with displeasure.

Varogen quickly smoothed things over and said, "Your Highness, Lord Earl, everyone, come in quickly." He led the crowd into the manor villa in front, and the servants brought the washing utensils. Take a seat in the side hall.

Ren glanced across the hall and nodded secretly.

A sound-proof force field is arranged here, and there is a hidden magic door behind the precious tapestry, which is obviously a passage for emergency escape.

Emilys sat at the head and asked, "How is the preparation for Hightoke?"

"Your Highness."

Varogen was about to get up to report, but Emily stopped him and asked him to sit down again, and then continued: "I received the news from His Highness last month, and I have already sent people out to inform the mercenaries in various parts of the Empire and the New World. They are back. Because they are far away, there are only more than a hundred people back, and it is expected to reach 300 within a month, and all mercenaries will arrive within two months."

"We have been preparing for the pre-war materials and equipment for many years, and they are very sufficient."

"However, I still secretly collected some for supplementary, detailed accounts, which will be presented to His Highness later."

"For the centaur, I just sent them a batch of supplies not long ago, and I mentioned the matter of sending troops to the chief of Carissa, and he didn't object, but the chief of Carissa asked to talk to His Highness. I can't make the decision, so I have to Your Highness, please go down to the grassland."

One thing after another was reported, and there was only Valogen's voice in the room.

He was organized and everything was taken care of.

Emily would ask a few questions from time to time, and she would answer immediately and explain to her. Even if she had any doubts and couldn't be sure, she said that she would solve them immediately.

A group of people are very excited.

The plan that has been planned for many years can finally be implemented, and everyone is full of ambition.

Lane did not participate in the discussion. Like Arstein, he was silent from beginning to end, like an outsider. He doesn't want to get too involved in the preparations before the war. People like Emily have planned for many years, so there won't be any problems. Anyway, he is only responsible for fighting the war.

After talking about the preparations, Valogen entered the most important topic.

"Your Highness, give me another two months at most, and everything will be ready." Varogen said, "Should we determine the time of departure and where to land in Congatro?"

Everyone looked at Emily, this can only be decided by her.

Emily pondered for a while, then said: "The time is set from the end of June to the beginning of July, and the first battle is set to be at Longjing Island."

"Dragon Crystal Island has a deep-water port, but there are not many guards. Our ships can sail directly into the port and seize control of the island. As long as we take Dragon Crystal Island, we can nail a nail on the coast of Congatro Nail, as our outpost."

"Also, Longjing Island is my fief, which has symbolic significance."

"What do you think?"

The two most important counselors, Varogen and Ding Laji, both agreed. In fact, they had already considered this issue, which coincided with Emily's thoughts.

Varogen looked at Ren and asked, "Your Excellency, your knights and the wizards of Wedzeland, will you cross the sea with us by boat, or will you teleport to the island after you capture Dragon Crystal Island?"

Ren couldn't help but look at him.

Obviously, Valogen already knew from Emily that he could build a teleportation array.

The number of people who regained the Kingdom of Congatero this time should exceed 7,000 people. It is impossible to teleport them all. The cost is too high. The arcane crystals alone cost hundreds of thousands of gold shields, and there are certain risks.

However, teleporting a small number of people is fine.

Wizards and Knights, there are only a few hundred people at most, using the portal can have a surprise effect, and directly airborne Dragon Crystal Island to break through from the inside.

Ren thought for a while and said, "If you are ready to build the materials for the teleportation array and the task of seizing Dragon Crystal Island, you can leave it to me."

Attacking land from the sea is not an easy task even if the defenders are few.

There is a steam ballista on Longjing Island, if it penetrates several ships, the damage will be too great. What Varogen was waiting for was Ren's words, and he immediately agreed: "Then thank you Earl, all the materials will be delivered tomorrow."

Ren nodded and didn't speak any more.

Next, Varogen talked about the current situation of Congatro.

He used to be an important minister of King Siria, and he was very familiar with Congatro. Even though he was far overseas, he successfully formed a huge situation network, penetrated into the major families, and was well-informed.

The current king, that is, Emily's greatest enemy, Mark Lauberdil, was the one who hammered and killed Emily's elder brother, the former prince, a very famous and capable heir, by This usurped the throne.

Mark has been king for more than forty years, but has little interest in governing the country.

The king was obsessed with cultivation and pleasure, and he handed over all domestic affairs, large and small, to the imperial council, and the main person in charge of the imperial council was the prime minister, Duke Nevet Dans, who was also the king's father-in-law and the queen's father.

The Danse family is also one of the seven major families in Congatero. It owns the Duchy of Danse and many gold mines have been discovered in the territory. It has always been the richest family in Congatero.

The action to overthrow the Drogonburg Dynasty was initiated by Duke Dans behind the scenes.

But in the end it was Mark who ascended the throne.

In order to win over the Duke of Dans, Mark married the other's eldest daughter as the queen, and formed a marriage, and the two families ruled Congatro together.

"Your Highness, I discovered a major secret last year and it was confirmed not long ago. Using this secret may help us reduce the resistance to the restoration of the country." Varogen's face showed a bit of mystery and schadenfreude.

"What's the secret?" Emily raised her spirits and hurriedly asked.

"The three children the queen gave birth to are not of Mark's species, but the result of the incest between the queen and her brother Coster." After Varogen finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Ding Laji sitting next to him, as if waiting for him Reaction.

"real?"

Everyone in the room was amazed.

The one who was most shocked was the demon warlock Ding Laji, whose ugly face froze, his gaze became very complicated, and he couldn't help asking: "Varogan, are you sure this is true?"

"It's absolutely true." Valogen replied firmly.

Ding Laji's usual unruly demeanor suddenly collapsed, as if he couldn't believe this fact.

Ren was a little confused.

Emily leaned over and said in a low voice, "Ding Laji was born in the Danse family, and the queen is her own sister."

Ren was stunned.

This relationship is really messed up. As the prime minister's son, Ding Laji actually defected overseas to serve Emily, planning to overthrow his brother-in-law, the king, and being an enemy of his prime minister's father. A bloody family ethics drama.

It turned out that it was all about fighting in the nest for a long time, and the grievances and hatred between several families.

After everyone digested the news, Varogen continued: "Your Highness, should we reveal this secret?"

A king was actually cuckolded by the queen, and it was a big one!

Not to mention the king, even a commoner man could not accept this kind of humiliation. What was even more frightening was that the three children were all born of incest between his wife and his brother.

In order to wash away the shame, Mark and the Dans family are likely to turn against each other, or even go to war directly.

If other families stand in line, it might cause a civil war.

When the great families of the Congatros had almost killed each other, and exhausted their strength, the opportunity would come, and perhaps the kingdom should be retaken without much effort.

Emilys glanced at Ding Laji who was still in a daze, without hesitation, nodded and said: "That's it, Your Excellency Valogen, within half a month, everyone in Congatro will know this secret. "

"Your Highness, I have already arranged manpower in more than a dozen major cities in the kingdom, and I will start operations in the evening. It will take less than half a month and the news will spread tomorrow." Valogen laughed sinisterly.

Ren guessed his method and sent people to spread leaflets everywhere in the middle of the night.

Common people love to hear this kind of gossip, especially the private gossip of rulers. Once it spreads, it is impossible to hide it.

After discussing for a while, everyone got up and dispersed.

After a sumptuous dinner, Valogen had already arranged the room. Emilys habitually took Ren's arm and wanted to go upstairs with him for the night.

Astan, Ding Laji, and Bigbell were all used to seeing it, so they didn't respond.

Varogen wasn't surprised at all.

Only Wetherley's expression became gloomy, his face was a little distorted, and the anger seemed to burst from his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Emilis, did you sleep with him?"

This question was so direct that everyone was stunned.

Needle drop could be heard in the banquet hall.

Emily turned around and looked at Wetherley, and replied blankly: "Wetherley, this is not something you should ask about, please respect yourself."

"I am also a member of the Drogonburg family. As your cousin, why can't I ask?"

Wetherley suppressed his anger, his chest heaved quickly, pointed at Ren, and asked: "He is not a dragon descendant, but a mortal from a commoner background. He is lucky to worship under the name of the Holy Soul Sorcerer. We can cooperate with him. But, you can't sleep with him!"

"The noble blood of the Dragonborn family cannot be tarnished by mortals."

"And you are the future queen of Congatro. If you have a child with him, but it is not a dragonborn, who will inherit the throne in the future?"

"Without dragonborn, how are we going to revive House Drogonburg?"

"If the family can't grow again, what's the point of our restoration?"

"Is it possible that the king of Congatro will change his surname to Augustus in the future?"

Wetherley asked a series of questions, staring angrily, and there was a sound of wind and thunder coming from his body. Water elements and lightning elements gathered around him, obviously in extreme anger.

Emily fell silent.

Valogen and the others were all terrified, for fear that Weatherley's remark would turn Ren's face, and then decades of plans would all come to naught.
