Chapter 1,234: The Church takes the blame, Archduke Hamfast(1/2)
Prince Carter is the illegitimate son who was given high hopes by Grand Duke Jonathan.
He carried the ambition of Grand Duke Jonathan to become king and hegemon.
But Jonathan ignored one fact.
The once powerful Kingdom of Avalon has long since ceased to exist in name only.
There are already signs of division within the kingdom.
No matter which prince or princess takes the throne in the end, other competitors will never admit it.
Split became the final outcome.
And then the so-called King of Avalon will also become a joke.
So Grand Duke Jonathan was completely blinded by his expectations.
Rather than hoping that Carter, a piece of mud, can be helped up the wall, it is better to support the troops and respect themselves.
Accumulate strength before the situation becomes completely chaotic.
Only after the Kingdom of Avalon is divided can we gain the upper hand.
However, even if there is no drama about winning the king.
Archduke Jonathan still has a preference for the illegitimate son Carter Pendragon.
It was this complicated emotion that made him want to spend all his money to support Carter's rise.
In fact, if you look into details, the other grand dukes or big families standing behind it seem to be a little irrational, and we cannot rule out the possibility of the intervention of the lord system for the time being.
All in all, Archduke Jonathan didn't care whether the giant city of Lentax was destroyed or not.
He only cares about Carter Pendragon's safety.
In this regard, Zong Shen has already thought of countermeasures.
On the surface, the Calamity Raven Church should still take the blame.
Negotiations including the exchange of Prince Carter will also be handled by the church.
For Zong Shen, Carter is not a burden, but a ticket with unlimited potential.
Only by using him to obtain benefits from Archduke Jonathan can you maximize your benefits.
But in the final analysis, Carter is still a fool.
Zong Shen had no idea of taking him under his command.
Rather than letting him be a mascot in the territory, it would be better to "sell" him as soon as possible.
Anyway, Archduke Jonathan is willing to pay for it.
And killing him directly is even more unfeasible.
There are hundreds of harms and no benefit.
It just so happens that the Calamity Raven Church has stepped forward to take the blame.
Zong Shen can safely hide behind the scenes.
He believed that Archduke Jonathan would not retaliate against the church after taking back Prince Carter.
After all, Jackdaw Dale is too far away.
I want to expedition from the central and eastern region of the Kingdom of Avalon to the cold area adjacent to the north.
The consumption of manpower and material resources is extremely terrifying.
Under such circumstances, if Archduke Jonathan wanted to exchange for Prince Carter, he could only accept his fate and accept the blackmail.
At this time, the few hidden wing scouts who appeared outside the giant city were also under Zong Shen's control.
He used the strategy module as an information reminder and would always ask about the situation nearby every few minutes.
Including whether there are peepers, whether there are hostile targets, etc.
This information is readily available upon request and is not a hassle at all.
"Hidden Wing Scout?"
"Just in time to put on a good show for them to see."
Zong Shen raised his lips, preparing to take advantage of these sneaky scouts.
Let them bring back some wrong intelligence.
For example, the church is wantonly transferring the wealth and population of the giant city of Lentax.
In this case, even if Lentax is only an empty shell, the church will still bear the blame.
As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, they will not bite. Since it has already shouldered a big blame, then under such circumstances, it does not matter if the church has to bear a few more blames.
Zong Shen's own ambition was to secretly make a fortune.
Let the church take the blame and take the benefits yourself.
After all, his territory is only four to five thousand kilometers away from the giant city of Lentax.
If the Grand Duke discovers that he is the mastermind, tens of millions of troops will surround his territory within a few days.
To be honest, Zong Shen really can't stop an offensive of this magnitude now.
And his trump card skills are in the cool-down period.
What's more, Duke Jonathan is different from the Lancastrian family who lives in a corner.
The scale of power is several levels higher.
There must be a demigod-level strongman under his command who is loyal to him.
According to the strategy module, he is still an extremely strong guy.
Most of the legendary strongmen who swore an oath to him even had to sign a contract, which seemed to have no human rights.
You must know that in an ordinary giant city, the legendary strong man is a proper guest.
Any giant city governor will provide corresponding courtesy.
How could he be like Archduke Jonathan, using a legendary powerhouse as a lackey?
It doesn't matter if the Calamity Raven Church is exposed.
As mentioned before, Jackdaw Valley is far away from here.
Even if Grand Duke Jonathan wants to take revenge, he has to carefully consider whether it is worthwhile or not.
After knowing what was going on, Zong Shen told Penny to organize manpower to open more ice shell passages after conquering the garrison, and at the same time count and collect all the supplies in the city.
Make sure the privilege of [Independent Rule] is in effect.
After 99% of the garrison became secondary citizens, Zong Shen left with peace of mind.
With the garrison at the end, even if the residents had any objections, they would not be able to change the situation.
Wait until Penny reaches the 20 million population limit of the second level of dominance.
She is the true King of Lentax.
Of course, as her lord, Zong Shen is the king of kings.
Directly activate [Fantasy God Flash] to leave the city inside the ice shell and appear outside the ice shell.
He issued a new order, which was to have all two to three million Apostle Corps soldiers participate in the excavation of the ice shell.
This thing is too intrusive.
Although it can also be lifted through ritual sacrifices.
But the consumption is not low. When the Raven God has been defeated, there is no need to waste resources.
Let’s solve the problem honestly through the physical method of two-way mining.
At most, it will only delay a few more hours.
Using time in exchange for massive resources is generally very worthwhile.
After arranging the follow-up matters, Zong Shen activated [Fantasy God Flash] and disappeared.
He was going to meet up with the girls who had left the giant city first.
No matter whether it is the situation in the giant city of Lentax or the Calamity Raven Church, we have to wait and see.
I don’t know how Safuri will react after knowing that the church has surrendered to him.

The Imperial City of Io is usually run by the king himself.
