A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 505 The emperor can be a man of strong military might!

After hearing the three tasks, Kosoroya took a deep breath. Although he felt a little dizzy, he managed to stay upright.

"As you wish."

Seeing Kosoronia's utterly dejected expression, Jiang Shuzhou smiled and offered words of comfort.

"Don't look so gloomy. If you want something in return, you have to give something in return. You already knew that, didn't you?"

With a sigh, Kosoroya tacitly agreed.

"Since everyone agrees, let's sign the contract."

After speaking, Jiang Shuzhou drafted the contract in an instant.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Kosoroya quickly read through the contract and then signed it without hesitation.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

The atmosphere instantly lightened as soon as those words were spoken.

"Master, I still want to ask, how can I find so many legendary girlfriends like you?"

Looking at Jiang Shuzhou enjoying himself in Renodia's arms, Kosororya couldn't help but ask.

He desperately wanted to know how to find it. Putting aside everything else, just obtaining a legendary combatant would be extremely precious.

"Well, as long as you're strong enough, that's fine."

Jiang Shuzhou really didn't know how to answer this question. He had never been in a relationship before, so how could he answer it?

"?"

Kosoroya was speechless.

"I was the one who pursued Shuzhou, so I'll tell you."

"Renodia said."

Then she started rambling incoherently.

"I met Shuzhou at a dance. I was deeply attracted by his qualities, and after his strong insistence, we got to know each other."

"At first, we would argue, like real enemies, until later, after we got to know each other, I decided to pursue Shuzhou."

Renodia said with a smile, and finally, she said...

"I worked hard for thirty years before we finally got married."

Listening to the tragic love story of Renotia and Jiang Shuzhou, Kosoro felt that she had no hope.

"I never imagined that you two would have such unforgettable memories, it's truly..."

As a legitimate old nobleman of the empire, Kosoroya has always been very good at interpersonal relationships, so he did not hesitate to start praising her.

At the same time, he was thinking to himself, "This playstyle is too dependent on character modeling, isn't it? And secondly, how could a female legend possibly pursue someone else?"

Jiang Shuzhou, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back. These words seemed to have no problem, yet they also seemed to have problems.

It can only be said that Renotia has gone astray and is no longer as innocent as before.

"What's wrong?"

"When did you learn that?"

Jiang Shuzhou communicated with Renodia using his mental powers.

"What is Shuzhou saying? Is it my words?"

"right."

"I learned it from Grace. She said you always talk like that, so you must really like it."

You weren't like this before.

"I'm willing to change for you."

Jiang Shuzhou gave Renotia a deep look, but didn't say anything.

And so, Kosororya was left standing aside as a third wheel, while Renoir and Jiang Shuzhou began to chat happily about the match.

As one winner after another emerged, Jiang Shuzhou showed little interest.

He didn't actually come to watch the game.

"Well, I'll be going now, I won't bother you any longer."

Kosoro knew his own limitations; now that an agreement had been reached, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

"Soon, everything will begin."

Half a month has passed.

Rosemary's illness became somewhat serious.

The struggle for the throne in the Ovi Empire has entered a frenzied stage.

"Mother Queen, do you still intend to make it public and implement it?"

"Yaroslav said with a hint of pain in his voice."

He hoped that Rosemary would stop insisting on her own opinion.

Unfortunately, that's impossible.

"Then let's go, Mother Queen. I want to see the scenery in the back garden."

In reality, Yaroslav wanted to retrieve the dagger he had hidden in the garden.

"it is good."

Rosemary nodded and began to admire the scenery with her son.

"Look at this blood peony, it's like scarlet blood..."

Rosemary was explaining things to Yaroslav, and she seemed to genuinely be grooming him as her successor.

However, her education was indeed quite a failure.

Not only did they raise an ungrateful child, but the child also lacked basic intelligence.

What will Yaroslav gain from Rosemary's death?

Perhaps he believed he could still obtain the throne.

Unfortunately, that's impossible.

Jiang Shuzhou had already made arrangements so that once Rosemary died, regardless of whether she was willing to pass on the throne, the emperor's authority would ultimately be equally granted to each of Rosemary's children.

Yaroslav's eyes were incredibly complex.

Taking advantage of Rosemary's inattention, he took out the dagger he had hidden in the corner.

Although hesitant, Yaroslav had no choice but to act, and so he thrust himself straight in.

"you……"

Rosemary looked on in disbelief. She had never imagined that her fourth son, whom she had raised as her heir, would betray her.

Why?

"Mother, don't blame me, this is for the benefit of the empire."

"You...sigh...the alliance, to...the throne...be given to the fourth..."

With a sigh, Rosemary, the ambitious empress, lay dead in the world today, without even finishing her last words.

And then the chaos had only just begun.

"The covenant states that I will inherit the throne."

Yaroslav invoked the alliance, intending to inherit the throne.

After all, this was Rosemary's idea.

However, this time, he miscalculated.

Without hesitation, Jiang Shuzhou activated the hidden door left in the alliance agreement.

The emperor's authority was divided into fourteen parts.

Almost every prince received a piece of authority.

From this point on, the empire was completely shattered. Fourteen heirs, fourteen rivals—what would become of them in the end?

With the hidden door activated, Jiang Shuzhou naturally knew what had happened.

"The day has finally come. Issue the order: troop assembly, prepare for attack!"

Unsurprisingly, Jiang Shuzhou sensed the specific situation.

Rosemary is dead, and the permissions have been successfully separated.

To successfully seize the throne, one must kill everyone else, reclaim authority, and finally inherit the empire and become emperor.

"It seems that war was already inevitable."

"The emperor can be anyone with a strong army and powerful horses!"

Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Without a doubt, the first to receive the order and prepare were not other armies, but the flesh and blood.

The forest at this point no longer showed any signs of the vibrant life it once had.

Everywhere there were scarlet chunks of flesh, the ground was covered in bloody moss, and the occasional howl of hunting dogs echoed through the forest.

Quiet yet terrifying.

Gurgle, gurgle.

When the signal for the start of the war came, the entire forest came alive in an instant.

Giant fleshy cocoons formed, containing hunting dogs and even other species.

Before long, an army of hunting dogs was formed.

They will play a crucial role in this war.
