The White Bear Province of the Kingdom of Helsinki, which borders the kingdoms of Rowling and Arthur, was the first to be attacked by Queen Rosa's Northern Expedition.

The White Bear Province originally had 80,000 garrisons, and although it was impossible to advance, it was more than enough to defend the city.

However, since the capital of the Kingdom of Helsinki was breached by demons and the royal family was devastated, the entire Kingdom of Helsinki has been in a state of anarchy.

The lords and nobles went their own way, and the army was even more disheartened.

Without the government, there would be no supplies and military salaries, and without supplies and military salaries, there would be no way to talk about being a soldier and eating food and being a soldier, so the 80,000 garrisons in Baixiong Province immediately ran away with more than 20,000.

It was not until the former commander of the garrison, Marquis Marlo, announced that the White Bear Province would be under military control, and several noble territories were emptied one after another to pay back military salaries, that the situation improved.

Because of the military management, the White Bear Province gained a temporary calm.

Why is it a brief lull?

There is no other reason, the word power is enough to provoke countless turmoil.

Now that the royal family is weak, the lords and nobles have ambiguous attitudes and go their own way, and the Marquis of Marlowe, as a feudal official, is naturally unwilling to fall under others.

Therefore, after he barely controlled the situation in the White Bear Province with his soldiers, he watched the former high-ranking governor bow down to him, and his inner desire for power exploded irrepressibly.

Within half a month, the Marquis of Marlowe directly declared the independence of the White Bear Province, established the Grand Duchy of the White Bear, and proclaimed himself the Grand Duke of the White Bear.

He thought that it was natural for him to sit on the throne of the Grand Duke, but who thought that it was like a hornet's nest.

The lords and nobles who had originally submitted to him all rose up and threatened to rid the country of thieves.

The arrogant Marquis Marlowe didn't know that the reason why these lords and nobles submitted to him was just to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to carve up the White Bear Province.

Who would have thought that this bastard with five big and three rough people would eat so ugly that he would want to swallow the entire White Bear Province alone.

Infringing on their own interests, where can the lords and nobles sit idly by, and instigate riots among their subordinates and lords one after another, turning the White Bear Province, which has just been calm for a long time, upside down.

Naturally, what they want is not to protect their families and defend the country, but to take two bites from the big cake of the White Bear Province to fill their stomachs.

Not only the local nobles, but also the lords of other places have correspondingly, wanting to bring the Marquis of Marlowe here

The traitors who split the country are eliminated quickly.

What do you mean by shooting a shot at the head? That's it!

Although the lords and nobles of the Kingdom of Helsinki all wanted to stand on their own, they still kept their senses and did not dare to cross the last hurdle.

Marquis Marloe's stupid approach can be regarded as a thunderstorm for many people with ill intentions, and it is estimated that he would never have dreamed that he would be able to taste the taste of perverseness.

Guilty of public outrage and spurned by the whole country, his fate is obvious.

After nearly half a year of dying struggles, the Marquis de Marlowe was defeated and captured, and finally sent to the gallows.

Many lords and nobles finally got their wish, and they gathered in the White Bear Province to prepare to divide it up cleanly.

But by coincidence, Queen Rosa sent a large army to attack at this time, and almost effortlessly included the White Bear Province in her pocket.

This is also thanks to a serious illness that lasted for half a year, otherwise she would not have been able to pick up such a big bargain.

Today, all the 280,000 square kilometers of land in the White Bear Province belong to the Rowling Kingdom.

After occupying the White Bear Province, Queen Rosa did not continue to wave her army north, but fought steadily and step by step.

There are two reasons for this.

First, swallowing such a large cake takes a long time to digest and the benefits have to be redistributed.

Why would the noble lords of the Rowling Kingdom support the queen in attacking the Helsinki Kingdom?

Therefore, she wants to take advantage of this time to digest the White Bear Province.

Second, Queen Rosa has promised Renard to send troops to the aid of King Ferdinand to help him retake Hailan Province from the Cronin family.

Naturally, she will not help the other party for free, these things are all for the sake of Ferdinand's face in paying nearly two million gold coins for military expenses.

In this way, Queen Rosa has acquired 280,000 square kilometers of land at no cost.

At the same time, she was given the opportunity to continue to occupy the entire kingdom of Helsinki further north without worrying about a sneak attack from behind.

The price of these two million gold coins is enough to make the economy of Arthur's kingdom depressed for four or five years, and without money, it will naturally be impossible to raise troops, let alone fight.

As for what Reynard will get, nothing more than power and money!

King's Fee

Dinande didn't have two million gold coins in his hand, and he asked Lei Ye to send troops to Kale County before, and he took out 200,000 gold coins as military expenses, which almost emptied the royal family's family funds.

Now these two million gold coins were lent to him by Lei Ye, and the interest rate is very high, which is estimated to be enough for the Hope family to pay back for ten years.

Of course, Renard also couldn't come up with so much money, the money was given by Queen Rosa, and finally went around and returned to herself.

Lei Ye prostituted the interest for nothing, and at the same time promoted the title to a marquis.

If King Ferdinand had known the details, he would have vomited three liters of blood.

The Marquis of Trollope and the Marquis of Lytton must have been able to see the doorway, but now that the war is imminent, they don't dare to touch the mold of Lord Lei.

Even if he told King Ferdinand, it was a thankless effort and offended people at both ends.

After all, if you don't remind before giving the money, what will you put in the afterthought after the money is given?

Anyway, King Ferdinand's dumb loss is a certainty.

In fact, it is not a particularly loss, after taking back Hailan Province, the reward he received was more than hundreds of times the price he paid.

Queen Rosa sat in her palace office, carefully reading the battle reports from the front.

When she saw that the 50,000-strong army had already marched to Hailan Province and occupied more than 20 cities, her indifferent face finally changed slightly.

The corners of her mouth raised a smile, as beautiful as plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter.

Seeing this, the royal housekeeper couldn't help but smile and said, "Congratulations to Her Majesty on opening up the territory and establishing an immortal cause." ”

Queen Rosa's smile slowly retracted when she heard this, and she frowned and said, "These cities will all be returned to the Kingdom of Arthur in the future." ”

The royal housekeeper's smile froze suddenly, and then he owed in embarrassment: "It's me who is too talkative." ”

Queen Rosa shook her head: "It's okay, we can get a lot of benefits before we give it back to him." ”

After speaking, she looked at the Marquis Huggins who was standing beside her: "Is there a shortage of labor in the White Bear Province?"

Marquis Huggins nodded without hesitation: "The White Bear Province has a special location, it belongs to the junction of the three kingdoms, and because of the war, the population is already sparse. ”

"The outbreak of demonic disasters in recent years, coupled with the civil war a while ago, and the northern expedition of our army, the population has long been less than 30% of the previous one, and there are less than 3 million people living on 280,000 square kilometers of land. ”
