Section 42 Front

Danmen Green's eyes shrank suddenly, his heart unconsciously quickened, and he quickly analyzed the meaning of this sentence in his mind, but on the surface he still had a calm smile, "Do you mean that Duke Andy Barrett has betrayed the kingdom?"

"Yes, he and his followers are planning an attack on Harrence Heights..."

"The King and his brother are close to each other, it's a fact that everyone in the continent knows, and you're accusing the Duke of Barrett of sending troops to attack the Harrence Heights, and you... Do you know what your words mean?" Danmen Green looked at Ike, "I remember you serving in Barrett's court..."

"Staff Officer of the Operations Division. Ike smiled self-deprecatingly, "A humble position, but with access to secrets that many people can't reach... Moreover, I am a dispensable role in the combat department, and even if I leave, no one will notice, at least not for a short time. ”

"Betrayal comes at a price, and do you think the benefits gained by Duke Barrett by betraying His Majesty are compared to what he has lost... Which is more important?"

"Nobody likes to grovel, my lord!" Ike looked at Danmen Green, "and north of Harrence Heights, there is an inexhaustible store of supplies for which Bane Lockton of Fort Herien could raise an army against the king, let alone the current Duke Andy Barrett." ”

"Why did you choose to inform? The staff officer of the cabinet court should have a good status and salary, right?"

"The human world should be unified, and I want to go back to my hometown in the Suke Plains. Ike didn't care about Danmen-Green's scrutiny, "I don't have noble blood, and I'm not a Twak Highland nobleman, as far as I'm concerned... King Pedi is the better choice. ”

Danmen-Green grinned, "Then tell me your secret." ”

...

In the office of the King of Kavalburg, by the time Eileffel finished reading the last government report of the day, the sky outside had already darkened, and the day had passed so boringly.

More than a month has passed since the aristocratic rebellion, and the remaining ruins of the seventh block have been cleared. The story of the rebellion was not made public, and the prime minister's government in the destroyed 7th Block explained to the citizens that it was a fire.

In the aftermath of the rebellion, a large-scale arrest was carried out under the secret control of the police station, and documents from the king's office show that one-third of the nobles of the kingdom were imprisoned for various crimes, and nearly half of the nobles were taken back to the police station by police agents for routine questioning.

The rebellion is a thing of the past, but his aftermath continues, with Eileen spending almost five hours a day listening to the police station and only having time to deal with the backlog of government papers every afternoon.

"Two hours ago, there was an inquiry from His Majesty from Iruk City, asking when a new batch of explosives and muskets would be in place, and that the collection of magicians should be made as soon as possible. "Sheila Marne has been in the King's office for the last few afternoons, dealing with government affairs with the Queen, and the affairs of the MIA and the Prime Minister's Government have been struggling with her lately, and she will need to hold on until Sir Bipp returns to the capital from the northern territories of the Kingdom.

"Your Majesty... What's the current situation?" Erin Phier rubbed her temples in annoyance.

"It didn't go very well, the Sooke Plains destroyed all the roads and bridges in the south of the town of Tyre and blew up the levees in the north, and it was difficult for our troops to even get close to the town of Tyre. Sira Marne shook her head.

"It's terrible!" "Erin Phier stood up and moved her stiff arm joints, walked to the window and breathed in the fresh air outside, "Since the Orc War began four years ago, there hasn't been a day of quiet in the continent of Aylan. ”

It's really bad. Sira Marne said to herself that the rise of the Kingdom of Crulia was short-lived, and that after the kingdom was established, the king was caught in a struggle with the nobility. As Minister of War, Sira Marne was well aware that the kingdom was not well prepared for the unification war that was going on, and that they had never wanted such a war in Tyre.

"Before this war, His Majesty had never thought of going to war with his sister. Erin Phier thought of it with Sira Marne, "When Your Majesty set out on the expedition, he said that he would be back in half a year... It's been four months now. ”

"Before the war began, everyone would claim that they would solve the problem in the shortest possible time. Sira Marne shrugged, "When the Battle of Klan Territory was lost four years ago, the orcs claimed that it would take a year to destroy the Empire, but now they can only stay in Klan Land. ”

"Are you trying to remind me that this war will last for years?"

"The current situation in the Elland continent does not have time for us to spend a few years in Tyre. Sheila Marne shook her head, "I think we should change our thinking about the Battle of Tyre. ”

"I'm not interested in these issues. Eileen waved her hand impatiently.

"Your Majesty. Knight Eden, who had been transferred to the King's office, interrupted the conversation between the two, "Danmen Green of MIA needs to meet you alone. ”

"Danmen Green?" Erin Phil raised an eyebrow, "he'll never have good news... My dinner looks like I'm going to have to settle in the office again. ”

...

Under the blue sky south of the town of Tyre, the land is full of devastation, and between the rolling mountains and forests, countless ravines are crisscrossed, and the turbid rapids hit the fragile rocks of the mountain forest, and from time to time the rocks and soil in the mountains and forests will fall off, causing a series of mountain collapses.

As he walked along the makeshift road paved with hay, looking at the muddy road with no end in sight, a nameless anger rising in his irritated heart.

"I suddenly feel a little nostalgic for my time in Suker City. Pedi's whisper was abrupt in the silent ranks.

"After a daily paladin training, a cup of coffee, a piece of dessert, a favorite book, and a quiet afternoon in the library, you don't have to think about anything, you don't have to worry about anything. Pedi took the reins of the horse to stop the horse and looked at the huge construction team not far away.

"It was an enviable day. Anse Zora controlled his horse and stopped beside Pedi, "That's the life I've been pursuing, but it's a pity...", he shook his head, remembering his years in Anku's fortress and the defeat in the Battle of Kranling, and finally his son's serious expression of studying magic in the Mage Tower, and a satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Isn't this war of ours fought to allow more people to enjoy those days?" Anse Zora suddenly smiled, and he smiled sincerely, "We will bring peace to the people of this continent." ”

"We are now on a battlefield and you are saying 'peace' to me. Pedi turned his head to look at Anse Zola, "You're a little different than before. ”

"Only those who have experienced darkness understand the value of light. Anse-Zola's tone seemed to be reading a famous book, "You have changed even more, Your Majesty... Whereas before you only knew to listen to orders from the military headquarters and never thought about why you did it, now you are thinking about 'why' all the time. ”

"I took over the burden of the Kru Territory in the midst of war, and was crowned King at the collapse of the Empire. "I've been through a lot in this time, I've been given supreme power, I've watched countless heroes die under my ambitions, I've brought peace to this region, and I've brought war. ”

"This is the King, Your Majesty!" Anse Zora covered her eyes with her hands, looking at the brightest being in the blue sky.

Pedi untied his thick cloak and threw it to his servant, and walked towards the proposed wooden bridge built over the rapids in front of him, he looked at the countless footprints left on the wooden bridge, and imagined the scene of the army passing here, "The terrain here is more harsh than I imagined. ”

"Karen-Sibo's idea is simple, she just wants to thwart our fierce offensive and break our morale. Anse Zora also looked solemn, "Our huge army has no advantage in such terrain. ”

Pedi nodded after listening to Anse Zora's words, and quickly walked through the improvised bridge made of giant logs, and when he reached the opposite bank, he said, "I plan to use the method of attacking the 'Death Fortress' and use the teleportation array to transport our soldiers. ”

"Well, that's a good idea, but it's not a short-distance teleportation, and ordinary soldiers may not be able to stand the discomfort of space travel. Anse Zora nodded and shook his head, "Ordinary soldiers can't maintain the same calm mind as a warrior, and the mages have reported that the soldiers' thoughts are too strong when teleporting, which invisibly increases the difficulty of reading the circle. ”

"I'm going to develop a training plan to train the soldiers to get used to the discomfort of magical teleportation. Pei Di said this in a consultative tone, "I believe that the Mage Tower also wants to have more data on the transmission of magic. ”

"This is beyond my purview, and I can report it to the Council. ”

"I look forward to your good news. ”

Pedi's eyes were fixed on a group of paladins praying on the side of the road in front of him, this was the paladins of the newly established United Duchy of Lunn in the northern Coron fortress area, and Samhill, the former archbishop of the Holy Radiance Church in Suke City, was the leader of these people.

"Your Excellency, you—" Pedi greeted him.

"Dear King Pedy Reagan, I have long since stepped down from the title of Archbishop. Samhill corrected solemnly, "I'm just an ordinary paladin now. ”

Samhill's excessive politeness and manners diluted Pedy's joy at meeting his teacher.

"When I was younger, I traveled a lot between the Suk Plains and the Iruk Territory, and I passed through this area every month for ten years. Samhill looked around, "I can't imagine that the beautiful mountains and forests will become what they are today. ”

"All this is caused by your royal power. Sam Hill looked at Pedi and at his former favorite student, "How do you feel about that?"

"I'll take it all, Archbishop. Pedi calmly looked at Samhill, "It's going to end this, too." ”

"You've always been so confident. Samhill said and saluted Pedi again.

"Well, allow me to leave, and my students will continue to meditate and pray. Sam Hill said goodbye and left.

"Feel free to do so, archbishop. ”

"I am no longer the archbishop of the church. Sam Hill stressed again, and then left decisively with his students.

"An idealist. Anse Zora looked at Samhill's back and commented.

"The world needs idealists. Pedi burst out laughing, then looked at his court mage Leah and said, "Teleport us to the front tower." ”

...

Outside the southern defense line, the frontline station, Pei Di walked out of the makeshift magic tower, looked at the messy station, and the busy officers and soldiers, and smiled at the casual crowd: "I want to set up teleportation arrays in key towns within the kingdom. ”

"A good idea," Archmage Leah's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again, "However, in order to realize this idea, it must first be popularized with magical knowledge, which will take at least a hundred years... Or a few hundred years. ”

"You make a note of it. Pei Di instructed the Secretary-General Wolf Ma: "Raise the administrative level of the Magic Laboratory in Elok City, and in the future, this laboratory will be called the 'Elok National Magic Laboratory', which will be under the direct leadership of the King's Office and will be funded by the Ministry of Administration." ”

"Besides," Pedi thought for a moment and continued in front of Anse Zora, "Send an order to Collier to complete the Seca Town School of Magic as soon as possible, and establish branch schools in various cities as soon as possible. He pointed to Wolfma, "Tell him that if he can't handle it, I can have someone else replace him." ”

"Also, what I just said, you made Syrah Marne... No, you send Sir Bipp back to Crewe and let him preside over it. Pedi issued three royal orders with a single face.

Anse Zora looked at Wolf Mar, who was quickly recorded in his notepad, and said, "You can see farther than anyone else. ”

"Are you complimenting me?"

"No, I'm telling the truth. The smile on Anse Zola's face was more sincere at the moment, "You're already thinking about what will happen in a hundred years from now, while most of us only think about our titles and seats under our ass. ”

"You think too highly of me, I just want to encompass magical knowledge to enrich my kingdom and strengthen my rule. Pedi shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the young commander approaching him in the distance, leaning over and saying to Anse Zora with a secret expression, "The future I see is that my royal banner is spread throughout the continent of Alan. ”

Anse Zora smiled noncommittally, and then followed Pedi to meet the young commander.

"Your Majesty!"

Viscount Tif-Gemet knelt directly on one knee, and the officers behind him also knelt down on one knee, and he kissed the king's military boots, "The Grimet family may your reign last forever." ”
