Basically, anything that magic energy can do, shadow energy can do.

The only big problem now is that shadow energy cannot be leaked at will.

Once it leaks on a large scale, it will cause shadow energy pollution.

The polluted animals and plants will not die, but they will undergo directional mutations, ranging from being shaded to varying degrees to directly changing their genes, turning them into twisted shadow creatures.

If a plane is completely shadowed, it means that this plane is not far away from total collapse and then being swallowed up by the shadow plane.

The Eternal Night Army leader's research on shadow energy is still about how to block them out instead of using them regardless of the consequences.

Sean can ensure that he and the leader of the Evernight Army can remain rational when facing the temptation of power, but he cannot ensure that others can as well.

Narentoya and the undead she led are typical examples. In order to obtain the power of revenge, they even gave up their lives as human beings.

The Holy Ether Church, which supports the new royal family, is also very abnormal in Sean's eyes. Under the leadership of Saint George, it no longer looks like a pure faith organization. Many people have embarked on the fanatical pursuit of the Holy Power, and soon

It is easy to be seduced by those who are interested, but the young king Laurie has fallen into unprecedented power and cannot extricate himself.

Valesta is still the royal capital it was four years ago.

But the atmosphere here is completely different from four years ago.

Most of the Yongye Army's shops, pubs, and restaurants that were once popular here have disappeared. Even if they are still running occasionally, they are still in different places.

The owner of the store is no longer the leader of the Evernight Army, but a powerful person from Valesta, and some are even directly affiliated with the Holy See. The industries engaged in it have also become diverse.

The new royal court led by King Laurie was reorganized, and although there was no explicit confrontation with the Evernight Army leader, the relationship between the two parties still cooled down rapidly.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is inevitable for the Yongye Army to withdraw its capital from Valesta on a large scale.

The one occupying the main tone here now is the Holy See.

Not only did the number of churches increase dramatically, but papal knights could also be seen everywhere.

The citizens open their mouths to praise the God of Truth, but when they shut up, they praise His Majesty the King.

This kind of praise is not due to compulsion, but comes completely from the heart. It may seem incredible to outsiders, but in the eyes of the citizens of Valesta, it has become a matter of course.

On the contrary, not believing in the God of Truth and not joining the Holy See is an incredible thing in their eyes.

Another biggest change in the royal capital of Valesta is that all aspects of government orders are no longer issued directly from the palace, but from a more specialized agency - the Prime Minister's Office.

At first glance, the royal power seems to have been weakened.

But those who truly understand the operation mode of the New Royal Court would never think so.

The new royal court just has less contact with the people below, which does not mean that all decisions come from the Prime Minister's Office.

The Prime Minister's Office is only a part of the New Royal Court and is in charge of finance, people's livelihood and other aspects.

Military power is under the control of the military minister directly under the new royal court.

With the two separated, the new royal court can naturally control the overall situation.

This is a sign that the governance model is relatively mature.

However, compared to the Marshal's Office of the Minister of Military Affairs, the Prime Minister's Office obviously has more presence.

After all, no matter how powerful the military power is, it is still outside, and it is difficult for the citizens of the royal capital to feel it.

On the contrary, various policies coming out of the Prime Minister's Office will be closely related to them. Their attention will naturally stay here more. If there is any trouble here, it will be known to the whole city.

In the Prime Minister's Office at this moment.

The current prime minister of the Lancelot royal family, Lord Buck, was furious. He smashed a stack of newspapers in his hand and said, "Your Excellency Patram, this is what you prepared for me. The relationship between the Eternal Night Army and the East China Sea Kingdom

War report? It’s a fool’s errand, but it’s not so foolhardy, right? Don’t think I don’t know what this is. The Yong Ye Army leader publishes newspapers in batches on time every week. It only costs ten coppers to give everyone a copy. If this

can be used as information.

Even the leader of the Yongye Army does not need to go. He can just send people to the princess fiefdom to buy a batch. The whole process does not cost ten gold coins. Why do we invest more than five million gold coins in your intelligence department every year?

Even if these five million gold coins are used to raise pigs, they can raise millions of pigs. But when they come to you, they have nothing! How do you want me to report to His Majesty?"

The Minister of Intelligence, Archduke Patram, who had been spat on his face, expressed his sorrow for being wronged: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I can understand your mood, and you must also be considerate of the difficulties of my work, especially regarding the Yongye Army.

Leading intelligence work.

It’s not like you don’t know that it’s a monolithic place there. We finally spent a lot of money to get on the line with some people inside, but they turned around and created another security code. Many people didn’t even have time to hand us a few lines.

Valid information disappeared from the world, no one was alive or dead, and all our money was wasted.

Why don't I want to get first-hand information about the war between the Yongye Army and the East China Sea?

But how to get it?

The people under the Yongye Army were like this, let alone the army they used as a foundation. They couldn't get a needle in, let alone gather intelligence. All the rebels we sent were captured on the spot.

Not only is Shi Dubin separated by the Eternal Night Army, but also by a vast ocean. It is difficult for our people to contact them, let alone send information back?

Prime Minister, if you have any good methods, please let me know.

If the Prime Minister thinks that I, the Minister of Intelligence, have neglected my duties, please report directly to Your Majesty and remove me from my post as Minister of Intelligence. Please hire someone wiser!"

At the end of the story, Archduke Patram's attitude became extremely tough.

Because he has enough confidence, no matter how bad he is as the Minister of Intelligence, Archduke Buck, as the Prime Minister, will have nothing to do with him.

Because he reached this position not because of his ability, but because of a multi-faceted power game.

As long as the identity of Grand Duke Manyu, the leader of the army, remains, no one can touch him.

"You... scoundrel!" Archduke Buck's face was livid. He was really angry at Patram's scoundrel expression, but he was also somewhat helpless.

It is said that people need face and trees need bark.

When the leader of an army doesn't even care about his own face, then he is truly invincible.

Grand Duke Patram is a model of this kind, a rogue among the powerful.

Being stubborn and shameless are all standard tricks, and being rude and rolling around doesn't matter.

Let alone Archduke Buck, who was helpless against him, even King Laurie and Pope St. George were helpless against him.

He and his Manyu military leader are like a piece of chicken ribs, which tastes meatless, but they cannot be abandoned easily. After all, they are still lying between the Broken Mouth Blood Castle and the Yongye military leader, and they will not be completely connected.

Grand Duke Buck was not an unusual person. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then said: "Don't misunderstand me, I am dealing with the situation rather than the person. You have been neighbors with the leader of the Yongye Army for many years, so you should be aware of this threat.

For us, no matter how big it is, the puppet country of Shi Dubin originally occupied the East China Sea. It can at least attract some of the attention of the Yongye military leaders and make them have concerns about developing the Donau Plain.

As soon as they take action now, Donghai Kingdom will be beaten to death by the Yongye Army. They will no longer have any worries behind them. Once the development of the Donau Plain is completed, they will be completely self-sufficient and become powerful.

With them entrenched behind us, we can't move freely to the west?

The most important thing is, how did the Eternal Night Army defeat Steubin's third fleet?

The Third Fleet is neither big nor small. It has at least one to two hundred battleships. Coupled with the indigenous forces absorbed in the East China Sea, its overall strength has already exceeded the strength of any single fleet of the Commons family.

At the last military meeting, didn’t the generals still sternly analyze that even if the East China Sea Kingdom did not completely disrupt the situation of the Yongye Army, it would still attract their attention and dragging them to the Donau Plain for three to five years would not be a problem?”

Archduke Buck's words undoubtedly touched Archduke Patram's pain, and his expression involuntarily darkened.

Who in the new royal court hates the leader of the Yongye Army the most?

He is definitely the best.

In the past ten years, there has indeed been no direct conflict between Yongye Army Leader and Manyu Army Leader.

But it does not mean that the Yongye Army Leader has little influence on the Manyu Army Leader.

The decline of the Manyu Army from its peak to decline started with the rise of the Yongye Army.

Grand Duke Patram has been on the throne for more than ten years, but he has been unable to re-unify the Manyu Army. The Yongye Army Leader is the culprit.

The Manyu Army has not developed much, but the Yongye Army is like a blowout, growing day by day.

As a neighbor of such an emerging force, the pressure is of course huge.

When I dream back at midnight, I always sit up in shock and sweat profusely.

Because he dreamed that the army led by Yongye Army had already arrived at the city and was about to break the city.

This kind of pressure is not only felt by Patram, but also by Archduke Buck. This is why they hit it off with King Laurie and formed the new royal court.

Because they clearly know that if they don't make changes as soon as possible, it will be a matter of time before they are annexed by the Yongye Army.

At that time, let alone maintaining the integrity of his family's territory, it was still unknown whether he could retain his place among the senior leaders of the Yongye Army!

This is also the reason why the two grand dukes in the new royal court are closer to each other. They are in the same boat!

Grand Duke Patram said solemnly, "I know a little bit about your Prime Minister's questions."

"What do you mean?" Archduke Buck asked hurriedly.

Patram asked in return, "Have you ever remembered, Prime Minister, the new long-range weapons displayed on the Jacob River by the leader of the Yongye Army last year in order to show off his force?"

"Remember! Why don't you remember!" Archduke Buck seemed to think of some bad memories and said through gritted teeth, "They won't repeat their old tricks and make a fuss about their weapons, causing Stubin's fleet to suffer a big loss, right?

"

Patram nodded and said: "The tricks are not afraid of old age. The Yongye Army has this advantage and will not fail to make a fuss about it. Therefore, their new weapons have always been the focus of my attention. We have been in

The leader of the Yongye Army spent so many gold coins, but he gained nothing at all.
