Chapter 539 Audrey, who supports the Tarot Club's finances alone

January 10, Feynaport Kingdom, the southernmost Seros County.

General Patton, the highest military commander in charge of Seros County, just received a telegram from the offshore cruise fleet.

There was only one word written on the entire telegram, war!

He could imagine that the situation at the time must have been very urgent, so that the telegraph operator only had time to type this key word in a hurry.

"What is the intelligence department doing! Are you still immersed in the New Year's drunkenness and debauchery? Or are you lying on some woman's belly! It wasn't until the enemy's navy arrived offshore that there was news of the war!"

General Patton was furious, with a dark face, and he wished that the group of fat pigs in charge of the intelligence department would sink into the sea to feed the fish!

At least this would be of some use.

"Quick! Connect to the royal city for me. I want to quickly inform the king of the situation here!"

"But General, we don't know which country the war is referring to, whether it is a large-scale attack or a small-scale test, and which port they will attack first. We currently know nothing about the enemy."

"Too stupid! Are all my subordinates such brainless trash?" General Patton slammed the table hard, shaking the documents on it to the ground, and he said sternly: "The enemy must be coming from the southern continent! They are planning to use our kingdom as a breakthrough point to attack the northern continent!"

"General, how can you be so stupid? How can I be sure? I think we should wait until the investigation is clear before passing the news to the king. It would be bad if those nobles who only know how to enjoy themselves accuse you of lying about military intelligence. "

"Asshole!" General Patton kicked the talkative subordinate angrily, "What do you know! War is like fire, there is no time to delay, we must inform the king in advance so that the king can prepare early."

"If we really wait until everything is investigated clearly, it will be too late!" General Patton ignored his extremely stupid subordinates, walked to the telegraph, and asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the king according to his will.

At this moment, General Patton felt a chill in his heart, and looked down in astonishment, only to see that a sharp blade had pierced his heart, and the tip of the knife had pierced through the flesh.

"You, traitor!"

General Patton condensed a set of dawn armor around his body, but before the armor was completely condensed, more than a dozen black skinny skeleton claws emerged from his feet, pulling him down, and then a sharp blade slashed across his throat, completely dissipating his last remaining strength.

"Not just me, but us."

The subordinates that General Patton looked down upon before now had excited and cruel lights in their eyes.

"The tide of the times began to surge and roll, and someone will always have to make sacrifices for it."

After a few more screams, the frightened radio operator, under the threat of death, began to send telegrams to the royal city, but the content was a little different.

"Everything is fine, calm."

The calm of Seros County ended three days later, on a bright afternoon on January 13.

The fishermen fishing in the nearby waters were disturbed and collided by the warships from the southern continent.

Some died, some jumped into the sea.

At this time, the navy stationed at the port slowly reacted, but they were greeted by ruthless artillery fire from powerful ships and cannons.

At General Patton's mansion, the news of General Patton's death had not spread.

A new telegram was urgently sent to the royal city, which read: "General Patton fought bravely and has kept the enemy out of the country!"

...

Monday, January 15.

Ten days have passed since Hastur and Audrey's engagement ceremony. During these days, Hastur spent half of his time with Sharon and Audrey, and the other half was preparing to return to South Wales at any time.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Audrey stayed in the room alone under the cover of Susie, responded to Mr. Fool's call, and went above the gray fog to participate in this week's Tarot Club.

After Mr. Fool finished reading the two pages of Roselle's diary, Alger couldn't help but speak in a heavy tone: "Warships from the southern continent have been found on the sea. According to the direction they are sailing, their target of attack this time is the Feynet Kingdom."

The war has begun... Audrey, Fors and others were shocked. It was only January 15th. According to the distance from the southern continent to the Feynet Kingdom, the army should have set sail more than a month ago.

But no one discovered the attack route of the southern continent in advance. Even their Tarot Club did not receive the corresponding news until this week.

Compared with the southern continent's attack on the Feynet Kingdom, such a large-scale military operation that was hidden and unnoticed by anyone was even more terrifying.

It turned out to be the Feynet Kingdom... Cattleya subconsciously glanced at Miss Justice and Miss Magician. According to her guess, the southern continent should choose the Kingdom of Loen as a breakthrough point, which is the best marching route.

After all, the Kingdom of Loen has not yet completely occupied the Feysac Empire and is not capable of it militarily.

The Feynaporte Kingdom has not participated in any wars in recent years. In addition, there are good harvests almost every year, and there are abundant strategic materials. It is a typical country that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The war is coming, and what Huang Guang Venitan said that day has come true. It came so quickly.

Klein, who was sitting in the first seat, was also digesting this news. Recently, he was busy digesting the magic potion in his body and making the final effort to be promoted to a Sequence 4 Weird Mage.

Originally, he wanted to wait until the end of the month to try to get promoted. Now it seems that he should speed up so that he can survive in the future chaos.

"Is the news reliable?" Audrey regained her composure and asked calmly.

"According to the time, the army of the southern continent should have begun to attack the County of Seros, but the news seems not to have spread yet."

Alger was also puzzled by this.

He learned this news from other pirates and confirmed that a large army of warships from the southern continent had indeed passed by some time ago.

But there seemed to be no sound from the Storm Church, which was obviously abnormal.

The biggest possibility is that someone or an organization suppressed the news to gain a favorable time difference for the southern continent to attack the Kingdom of Feynaport.

"The tide of the times, the Twilight Hermit Society." Mr. Fool spoke slowly and answered the doubts of the Tarot Club members present.

"What do they want to do?" Fors' voice trembled a little.

"War."

Mr. Fool said this heavy word in a tone that was almost chuckled.

Fortunately, the Tarot Club members were attracted by the war and did not continue to ask why the Twilight Hermit Society wanted to start a war.

Klein had no answer to this question. He guessed that it might be related to the ultimate goal of the organization, the Twilight Hermits.

It might also be related to the stars.

A lot of what Huang Guang Venitan said that day was about the stars, which meant that the stars would play an important role in the future.

Perhaps this war was also tacitly approved by the stars.

As for the real reason, he would not foolishly go to divination. At present, his primary goal was to be promoted to a Sequence 4 Trickster.

"Miss Justice, I have a commission, and I'm afraid only you can complete it." Alger looked at Audrey. After getting her approval, he continued, "I want to know what the attitude of the top leaders of the Kingdom of Loen is towards this war."

"I will find out about this matter. As for the reward, there is no need. This is also something I am interested in." Audrey generously waived Mr. Hanged Man's reward.

Now she is not very interested in the trivial matter of earning some gold pounds. Since she got engaged to Mr. Hasta, Earl Hall transferred Mr. Hasta's betrothal gift and part of the family assets to her name.

The total value is about 1 million gold pounds. Just by keeping it in the bank and earning interest, she can earn tens of thousands of gold pounds every year.

Not to mention, she has Mr. Hasta by her side now.

Then Audrey offered a huge reward of 2,000 gold pounds for the latest news.

Miss Justice's financial situation seems to have improved a lot...

This was the first thought that came to Klein, Alger, and Fors' minds.

Although Miss Justice was rich in the past, the pocket money she could actually use was not so terrible.

Now Miss Justice seems to have enough finances to support the operation of the entire Tarot Club.

During the transaction, Klein and others once again experienced Miss Justice's terrifying financial strength. She bought two extraordinary items from Ms. Hermit and customized an extraordinary item from Mr. Hanged Man.

The total value exceeded 7,000 gold pounds.

Audrey vaguely sensed that the members of the Tarot Club looked at her with a little envy and surprise.

In fact, she just felt that the war had come, so she thought about indirectly strengthening the strength of other Tarot Club members by spending more money. In this way, it would be easier for her to obtain new information and help in the future.

This is a guaranteed investment.

But compared to investing in tangible things such as banks, minerals, and land, she invested in the broad future of Tarot Club members.

Well, she believed that this was definitely a very valuable investment.

She did not notice that Fors looked at her with a bit of suspicion and certainty.

Miss Justice is Miss Audrey.

She had noticed it before, and this time she directly confirmed the identity of Miss Justice.

She had heard Xio say that in the aristocratic customs of the Kingdom of Loen, the ladies of the nobles usually had to wait until they got married before they could truly control the wealth they had.

Recently, in the entire Backlund, there was only one aristocratic marriage, Miss Audrey and Mr. Hastur.

And at the engagement ceremony, she also heard other noble ladies talk about the huge fortune that Miss Audrey might get this time in a very envious tone.

To sum up, Miss Audrey is Miss Justice, and this is an absolutely correct fact.

Noticing that Fors was staring at her for a long time, Audrey smiled at her kindly.
