Section 7 Untitled
"That's what I'm worried about. ”
Collier also said: "Although I don't believe that Sir Danny will betray the kingdom, as a member of the Danny family, when facing Daric Danny, there will be some other thoughts in his heart that will influence his choice. ”
"The Danny family thing is a small thing. Pedi's slightly stiff arm said, "If Sir Bowenright can take the entire Elok Territory for the kingdom, I can pardon everyone in the Danny family, including Darek Danny himself." ”
Morinda didn't feel much when he heard this, as if it was normal to do so.
But Cowlier was different, and he was subconsciously thinking about what kind of changes would be made to the future high-level of the kingdom with the support of the Danny family. You know, if it weren't for Bowenwright being implicated in the Danny family and sent to Seka Town before, he would most likely be the Minister of War of the Kingdom.
Suddenly, an even more terrible thought came to Cowlier's mind, and he looked up at the king who was close at hand.
The moment he looked up, the old mage saw a pair of sharp eyes looking at him with a smile.
"Your heart is as big as the sea. The old mage had an instinctive smile on his face.
...
In late June,
The weather in the Iruk Territory had become sweltering, perhaps because of the raging undead legions in the south, and the cool sea breeze had kept the coastline of the port of Yekjar out, causing the temperature to increase exponentially across the plains.
The winding official roads in the eastern part of the plain are dotted with migratory processions, moving slowly to the east or southeast in the hope of migrating to the territory of the Kingdom of Kruria, or to the area of the Eternal Wing Mage Tower.
However, this is no longer the time of the Empire, and such a large-scale migration may not be a problem for the time of the Empire, and now... The Duchy of Suluk, the Kingdom of Kruria, and the Mage's Tower belong to different powers.
The Kingdom of Kruria and the Eternal Wing Mage Tower have not signed a relevant immigration policy with the Duchy of Suluk. In other words, only a very small percentage of these migrants can pass through national border checkpoints.
As for most of the others, they had to go back the way they came.
Moreover, in the current situation, there are three parties with immigration policies, and neither the Kingdom of Kruria nor the Mage Tower will let these people enter their own country.
However, the threat of death from the undead legion continued to move every day. Since the beginning of June, there has been a lot of noise outside the checkpoints along the tripartite border.
In particular, on the narrow border between the Principality of Suluk and the Kingdom of Kruli in the eastern part of the Iruk Territory, patches of tents were set up together, and countless people illegally crossed the border every day, keeping Sir Hades, the chief of staff of the eastern garrison camp of Elouk, busy with his feet, and finally had to use local orc immigrants to form a blockade.
...
Elok City, the encounter is even more depressed than half a month ago.
Urban production has long since stopped, and the citizens and tycoons who were able to flee the city have long since left. Inside the closed gates of the city walls, most of the streets were filled with soldiers patrolling, and the occasional pass-by was mostly in a hurry.
The city's propaganda officials shouted slogans in squares throughout the city to promote this 'just' war, and outside the recruiting office stood citizens who had joined the army for food, and the queue reached the street corner.
Most of the original houses in the eastern part of the city have been demolished, and a large open space has been divided, and nearly 10,000 recruits are being trained by instructors to prepare for the upcoming battle, as well as to prevent citizens from escaping through the city gates to the east.
In the magnificent government building, the officials who used to come and go are long gone, and the officials who have no chance to escape have nothing to do and lock themselves in their respective offices in a daze.
"Knock! knock!"
The sound of crusty soles and marble floors clattering in the corridors of the building was the Principality's Chief Consul Covey Rambo and his Secretary-General, Bunier Carr.
"Is this the one?" Cove-Rambo pointed to a room with a conference room sign, his voice echoing from the empty hallway.
"Yes, sir. As he spoke, Buniel-Carr opened the door to the conference room.
The interior of the meeting room is very bright, because the sunlight projected from outside the windows is refracted through the base plate to the ceiling, making the whole room surprisingly bright.
"How many times have you walked into this building?" Although Cove-Rambo was trying to maintain his majesty as chief consul, the reality made him speak in a tone somewhat helpless and bald.
"I didn't pay much attention to it. Fipert Bob put his cigar on the ashtray and stood up, "As President of Congress, what I'm going to do is not meddle in the affairs of the Executive Office, but to supervise you... So, I won't come to this building unless I have to. ”
"Okay, when is it now, are you still bickering with each other, is it interesting?" Marshal Tra Rensco patted the table lightly, "The whole country is becoming what it is because of your infighting, don't you feel a little guilty or blame yourself?"
"Speaking of responsibility, isn't it your Ministry of Defense that the loss of Tyre is responsible?" said Buniel-Carr lukewarmly retorted.
"Haha!" Tra-Rensko's broad palm slapped on the meeting, and his body stood up suddenly, "I don't know which fool asked to transfer our main army to the north of the Suke Plain to participate in the so-called Battle of Crane City, and in the end it wasn't for people to be betrayed!"
"The Undead Legion is just outside the city walls, aren't you ashamed enough?" Derick Danny didn't know why he suddenly became angry, his whole face flushed with excitement, "Don't you have a trace of shame?" He pointed to the window, "There are still more than 100,000 civilians in the city outside waiting for you to save their lives, and you have the ability to argue in front of them!"
"Darik, you're getting a little too excited. "The Chief of the Defense Staff, Chadric Renscoe, sat next to Darick Denny, and although he didn't know why the other party was suddenly so angry, as a senior Principality who had been sitting in his office for a long time, he habitually began to persuade when he saw someone arguing.
"I'm excited? yes, I'm excited!" Derick Danny shook his hand away, shaking Chadric Renciko's hand away from his shoulder, his bloodshot eyes staring at Fipert Bob, "This is the ideal you are talking about, this is the country you fought for?" he looked around, "Don't you think the regime we have established is full of ridiculous meanings?"
"There is a certain gap between the ideal and the reality, I think you can understand this truth. Fipert Bob looked at Darik Danny calmly, "If you want to achieve your ideals, you have to bow to reality... It's something you've told me before, and now I'm giving it back to you. ”
"I should have known. Derick Danny smiled wryly, "I should have known—" his gaze skimmed over the faces of everyone in the room, "A bunch of betrayers are not going to end well at all." ”
"This sentence is a bit excessive, Lord Darik Danny!" As a vassal of the former Imperial Guardian of the Elder Lord, Corway-Rambo has been extremely sensitive to this sentence due to his noble education since childhood.
"Alright!" Fiportt-Bob snatched the conversation the moment Darik Danny wanted to continue talking, he spoke louder than anyone had spoken before, "We're not gathered in this room to quarrel now—" he stared at Darik Danny, "You've said it yourself, the Undead Legion is just outside the walls, and if you continue to show your worthless vanity, I don't mind forcing you out." ”
"You..."
"I said, you shut up for me!" Fipert Bob pointed to the chair next to Darik Danny, "Sit down, or let me out... Your expression of worrying about the country and the people now makes me sick. ”
"The Principality is in a time of crisis, so if you still want to contribute to the Principality, sit down and listen. Cove-Rambo also said: "Also, don't talk about ideals in front of a group of old men, then I will feel disgusting." ”
"Sit down. "Chief of the Defense Staff Chadric Renciko gently patted Derick Danny on the shoulder.
Derick Danny certainly wasn't leaving, and he just felt very unwillingly angry just now.
Yes, there is reason not to be reconciled ... Because he gave up everything in the Crewe Domain, he traveled thousands of miles to the Principality of Suluk, only to get the current situation. But he forgot that everyone present had given up everything in the past for the country, and that he, Derick Danny, was not the most special person.
Cove Rambo didn't care about Derick Danny's performance just now, he sat down and immediately looked at Fipert Bob, "The Kingdom of Crulia has replied to us head-on and agreed to our request for help, but they won't send troops for a short time. ”
"Supplies?" Fippott-Bob immediately figured out the key.
"Yes, they will provide us with military supplies free of charge to help us defend against the invasion of the undead legion. Cove-Rambo flipped through a document he had with him, "So, we need to train our own soldiers... Fortunately, we were prepared and were recruiting new recruits twenty days away. ”
"It's the same trick again. Marshal Tra-Rensko frowned, "During the Battle of Kran, the Kingdom of Kruria used this way to provoke the Kalens, elves, orcs and highlanders to fight each other, and in the end, not only the orcs should be grateful to them, but even the highlanders and barbarians had to bow down to them. ”
"Yes, the same trick again. Cove-Rambo shrugged and took his cigar from his bosom with the intention of taking two puffs, but he thought about it and put it back down, "We knew that Peddy Reagan wanted to weaken us in this way, but we had to accept it, and we accepted it with a smile on our faces." ”
"You're calling us here to talk about this?" Tra-Rensco slammed her fist on the conference table, "I'll take a fart, it's better to accept Muvet's surrender... The final result is nothing more than the destruction of the country!"
This is undoubtedly a complaining word, but in fact, it is not a small temptation for everyone present today.
"I don't want to be a pile of rotten meat, and I don't have any interest in preserving memories forever. Corway-Rambo looked at Tra Rensco coldly, "Do you want to be like that?" he pointed to the window, "Open the window and smell it, the whole city is that disgusting stench, do you want to enjoy eternal life with such a smell?"
"Do not come and tempt me, I will not degenerate into the service of the dead. Tra Rensco shook her head, "I'm just making an analogy..."
"Not an analogy!"
"Okay! I was wrong! Let's skip the conversation. Tra Rensco looked at Fipott Bob and asked, "How's the Wizard Tower connected?"
"Don't expect the mages to send an army to support us alone, those old guys are smarter than anyone else. Fipert-Bob shrugged, "Their army will follow behind the army of the Kingdom of Krulria, these are the words of Chairman Turlock himself." ”
"How is it that it seems that overnight, the Kingdom of Kruria has become the overlord of the region north of the Suk Plains?, whether it is the Duchy of Twak or the Mage Tower, they need to look at Pedi Reagan's face!" Chadric Rensco frowned as if whispering to himself.
"It's all a change brought about by the throne. Derick Danny had a calm look, his hands clasped together under the conference table, "Pedy Reagan's royal influence is expanding into the surrounding areas of the Kingdom of Kruria. ”
"Let's talk about the important things. Tra Rensco flipped through the documents prepared for them in advance by the Secretaries of the Governing Offices, "Peddy Reagan's assistance is the only option before us... So, when exactly will the supplies arrive?"
"The supplies are placed in the eastern garrison of the Kingdom of Kruria in the eastern part of the Iruk territory, and as long as we nod, they can be delivered within three days. "At the same time, the Kingdom of Kruria has agreed to help us recruit laborers. ”
"Then what else to discuss, just reply directly. Fipert-Bob began by saying, "Get the supplies to the city as soon as possible." ”
"Good!" Cove-Rambo nodded and glanced at the Secretary-General.
Secretary General Buniel Carr nodded to everyone's gaze, and then calmly walked towards the door.
"The question below... It's about immigration. "In the past half month, because of the flight of some officials, it has led to a large-scale migration of citizens, and what we need to do now is to turn the movement of the people into a 'strategic retreat' organized by our Consulate, and form a provisional government in the migrating crowd." ”
"The plan looks good. Tra Rensco subconsciously complimented, lowered her head and carefully flipped through the documents in her hand.
"It's a good idea to turn an uncontrollable migration into a controlled 'Great Retreat', and to put Pedy Reagan in charge of feeding these people, but the ruler of Cruria, though young, has a very smart brain. Chadric Rensco whispered, "I'm not against this proposal, but how do you convince the Mage Tower and the Kingdom of Kruria?"
