Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind the Scenes

Although this is troublesome, deceiving others who are completely unaware into activating the Talisman will also fail to successfully transfer it.

You cannot deceive Destiny, just as you cannot deceive yourself.

Afterward, Anvis briefly met with Leia to conduct a thorough examination of her physical condition. After gathering the examination data, he said farewell to the Landon siblings.

Meanwhile, he also took the opportunity to replace the teleportation pendant he had previously given to Leia, with a pendant secretly made by Star Cluster Civilization's Secret Technique, which had higher concealment and reliability of use.

Going back to a time before, when the pendant in Landon's hands was activated, some Nobles in other smaller Kingdoms suddenly felt something in their hearts.

In the Norton Kingdom's Royal Palace, a secret meeting concerning the security of the Kingdom was being convened.

The attendees were high-ranking Nobles of certain titles, and the topic of the meeting was to discuss how to deal with the increasingly sizable Resistance Organization's allied forces, as well as the restless multitude of middle and low-ranking Nobles.

During the discussion, a Noble suddenly frowned slightly, instinctively reached out, and pulled the Talisman hanging on his chest.

Just now, the Talisman that he had always worn on his chest had turned into a bright red color, as if soaked in blood.

"Lord Kamanta, what is it?"

Noticing his sudden distraction, the King, sitting in the highest position, turned his head and spoke with a touch of concern.

As one of the Kingdom's two main pillars, Marquis Kamanta's mighty Mechanical Knight Order was an indispensable force for the Kingdom.

He was also an Eighth Rank Demon Swordsman, one of the three strongest below the protective Ninth Rank in the Kingdom.

At this critical moment of crisis, such powerful support was something that had to be won over.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty Norton, just a sudden incident."

Shaking his head, Marquis Kamanta put the Talisman back on his chest, while heaving a sigh inwardly.

"If there is anything where the Kingdom can offer support, you can just speak up."

King Norton XVI nodded, making a habitual polite gesture.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness. Actually, I do have an unavoidable request at the moment."

His eyes hesitated as he glanced at the King, and Marquis Kamanta's tone seemed somewhat reluctant.

"No need to hesitate, Lord Kamanta, if you have any requests, you can speak now!"

King Norton XVI nodded somewhat strangely at Marquis Kamanta, who appeared different from usual, gesturing for him to speak.

"I wish…"

While speaking, Marquis Kamanta's voice suddenly quieted down. At the same time, a bright flash of sword light burst forth unexpectedly, slashing across the neck of the yet unresponsive King Norton XVI without warning.

"I'll be borrowing Your Majesty's head!"

Several defensive lights from Talismans flashed across King Norton XVI's body, then shattered. The broken fragments and King Norton XVI's head flew up together. A gleam of light flitted across the blade, instantly shredding the escaping soul.

Witnessing this sudden turn of events, the meeting hall was silent for a moment, then immediately erupted into chaos. Many Nobles looked at Kamanta with wariness, and quite a few had already begun to flee or call for help.

"Are you trying to rebel, Kamanta?!"

Looking at the horrified Nobles and the head of King Norton XVI on the ground, which still bore an expression of terror and disbelief until death, Kamanta suddenly felt a sense of pity.

"No need to panic, everyone, or rather, what you need to be most concerned about right now is not this matter."

As if proving his words true, faint shouts and sounds of killing were already filtering in from outside the palace.

"You've even conspired with the Resistance Army?!"

"Have you lost your mind, Kamanta?! They are nothing but a band of robbers without a shred of honor. Do you really think your family will meet a good end after these traitors seize the Royal Capital?"

Hearing these words, the expressions of the many nobles present changed again. An elder Earl of Seventh Rank couldn't help but speak up harshly, denouncing his actions akin to seeking the tiger's skin.

"This is no longer just a matter for Norton Kingdom, Barry. Haven't you noticed why the Ninth Rank guardian has still not made a move to this day?"

Shaking his head, Kamanta casually swung his sword, severing the finger wearing the Royal Family's signet ring from the corpse of Layton XVI.

After collecting the finger and the head, he looked lastly at the many nobles lost in thought and, without turning back, left the palace for the Royal Family's Secret Vault.

"The storm is coming, gentlemen, the storm is coming—"

Another Marquis of Eighth Rank, who was as renowned as him, was at that moment far away on the kingdom's border. As for the Ninth Rank guardian, the person who had previously forced him into signing an agreement, had already promised to take care of it ahead of time for him.

Now, here in this place, no one could stop his actions.

.….….

The scenes unfolding in Norton Kingdom at this moment were like a condensed reflection of what was happening in several smaller kingdoms within the Federation.

Under the sudden rebellion by the high-ranking nobles, many small kingdoms were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses to their Royal Families, with the situation deteriorating rapidly like an avalanche.

The result was that the Resistance Army's progress in gaining control skyrocketed as if riding a rocket, breaking through the critical thirty percent mark in just a few days.

Hence, the intensity of the Federation's war was instantly upgraded.

The Three Kingdoms, having waited for this moment, immediately erupted, declaring the dispatch of a large army to exterminate the Resistance Army. With lightning speed, they laid their hands on several neighboring small kingdoms, significantly expanding their territories.

Seeing this, the Royal Families of other small kingdoms felt threatened for their own future.

Many small and medium kingdoms wanted to urgently negotiate in private to reach a new pact at the fastest speed to jointly deal with the invasion from the Three Kingdoms and the Resistance Army. However, due to assassinations, curses, and various other reasons, they could never bring it to fruition.

Meanwhile, the sudden changes in the Federation also caught many people off guard. And Landon, as the direct instigator of this upheaval, immediately came under the scrutiny of many Prophets.

"What's going on? It shouldn't have happened so quickly."

"A Child of Destiny, what has he done?"

Soon, through various magical means, the investigation results regarding Landon's recent activities were laid before these Prophets.

"A member of the Starfire Organization, seems to be that 'Traveler's' person."

"So, is all this within the Traveler's scheming?"

"It could be someone else. The party is quite cautious, accomplishing all this through the hand of the Child of Destiny without exposing themselves."

After some discussion, the Prophets didn't come up with any valuable conclusions.

However, due to the sudden shift in the situation, the plans that had been prepared beforehand also needed to be adjusted accordingly.

Undoubtedly, somebody had made a preemptive move without honor, forcing them into battle.

Thus, over the next month, the situation in the Federation changed and changed again.

The Resistance Army, which had been advancing with great momentum, suddenly encountered a powerful resistance. Their offensive line completely shifted to a defensive stance, and they even began to show signs of faltering.
