After so many years of operation, the princess fief does not dare to say that it is impregnable, but it is not so easy to get out of control.

Especially now that she has the Eternal Night Army leader behind her to help her support, and behind her there is the invisible giant of the Straggy family, whoever dares to touch her fiefdom is pure death.

It only took half a year for Sophie Liya to show signs of hitting the peak of her martial arts double cultivation.

This kind of situation is really rare, and it also shows that the dragon vein technique is strong when it has sufficient magic energy.

As long as their own talent is not particularly bad, warlocks have the opportunity to use it to reach the heights they previously dreamed of.

Just as Sean expected, during these six months in the Northern Fortress, the impact on Sophia was huge.

The new knowledge system has opened a new door for her, not only in terms of personal cultivation, but also in terms of governance concepts.

Before coming to the Northern Fortress, Sophia had recognized the elemental tides, and now she just put more evidence in front of her.

If the elemental concentration of the entire environment is on the rise, the resurgence of magical civilization will be the general trend in the future.

As long as they can grasp this main vein, they will be in the leading position for a long time to come.

Just like Sean often talks about, the more you know about the magic energy, the more awe you will have in your heart, it is the biggest variable in the normal life of this world, and many things have changed differently under its intervention.

During the six months that Sophia was raising a baby in the Northern Fortress to study.

Inside the Byron Union, there is not much to say.

The biggest destabilizing factor, Pope St. George, is trapped in St. Ann's Land due to the agreement signed with Sophia.

It is true that Sophia resigned as regent, but the agreement she signed at the beginning is still in effect, because it represents not only the will of the single family of the Lancelot royal family, but also other grand ducal families, and even King Laurie cannot easily break this agreement.

The most important thing King Laurie needs to do now is to centralize power on himself.

Although Pope St. George did not leave St. Angli's place, his parables were sent to the territories of the Byron League, where he issued a summoning order to the papal knights and young believers who aspired to become papal knights.

They were ready to form a stronger Apal Armed Forces in St. Ann's Land to protect the safety of the faithful.

Countless papal knights and young believers responded, and many sold their possessions and set out on the road to St. Ann's Land.

For them, this is the best way to express their devout faith to the God of Truth.

As for the young king of the Lancelot royal family, when he really sat on the throne, he found that the fruit of power was not sweet but bitter in many cases.

In the past, King Laurie always thought that Princess Sophia had overwhelmed him.

As everyone knows, most of the storms and problems have been blocked by the other party, including internal contradictions.

Princess Sophia completely withdrew, and all kinds of messy things in the Lancelot royal family were squeezed on his desk.

The tax of the county of so-and-so has not been collected for a long time.

The two directly belonged to the royal lord, and there was a serious conflict over the ownership of an iron mine on the border, and the armies of both sides were massed on the border, which required the royal family to intervene.

In a certain area, there is a serious drought, grain production is seriously reduced, not only this year's taxes can not be paid in full, but also need the royal family to come forward to organize disaster relief, and at the same time also need to organize people to carry out locust prevention work, because affected by the drought, it is very likely that there will be concurrent disasters and locust plagues here, and then it will not sweep a region, but several surrounding areas will be affected.

A barony has been killed by a large-scale epidemic similar to an epidemic, and the heir has sent an envoy to the royal family to ask for the royal family's support.

The situation of Warcraft attacking villages and towns is getting worse day by day, and this is no longer a matter of one territory and one land, but a problem of the whole royal territory and the whole alliance, and the royal family has the responsibility to thoroughly investigate and solve this matter.

Because of the attack of the demonic beast, the people of the territory are panicked, rumors are flying all over the sky, and some ill-intentioned heretics and cultists have taken advantage of the situation to propagate that the end is coming, and they must believe in their gods and donate money to redeem their souls, and they will not fall into hell in the apocalypse, and the Holy See asks the royal family to allow them to send papal knights to investigate the matter thoroughly.

These are things that the God of Truth will not help King Laurie solve, and he must send the right people.

If the minister sent is not suitable, it will not solve the problem, but will exacerbate the conflict.

Take the issue of the ownership of the Bianjing Iron Mine as an example, this problem has existed for half a century, and it was discovered from that mineral deposit that the two lord families have been engaged in a lawsuit, and every time the royal ruler changes, they always use this issue to pull it out and bluff to see if they can fight for greater benefits for their families.

When Princess Sophia was in power, she made peace with this kind of thing that no one could understand, and the two families each played fifty big boards, and the iron mine family played half, although the two families were not satisfied, but at least they suppressed this matter.

And the envoy sent by King Laurie this time was a stunned young man, and without thoroughly investigating the matter at all, he relied on his personal judgment to award the ownership of the iron ore to the one who thought it was right.

The other family is naturally not happy, there used to be at least half of the iron ore ownership, but now it's good, not even half of it is gone, the army that was originally just a bluff directly crossed the border and launched a surprise attack to start a war.

The envoy saw that his posture was not good, and he ran faster than a rabbit, and in the blink of an eye slipped back to the royal capital, handing over a larger mess to King Laurie.

Once the two sides resort to force, the possibility of a peaceful resolution of the matter is almost nil.

Although the territory owned by these two powerful lords is not large, but the origin is not small, they are both quite senior in the territory of the Lancelot royal family, there are many in-laws, and the forces behind them have entanglements of interests, and it is not a strange thing for them to use this as an excuse to start an armed conflict.

Some politicians with a keen eye on politics have even found clues at the top behind this armed conflict, and the ownership of the iron mine may be just an excuse, and they are using this means to test the young king.

If King Laurie had been like Princess Sophia, who had been so young and spicy, they would have stayed honest and continued to be their own people, as before.

If King Laurie and his ruling team do too badly, they will inevitably have other ideas and want to use the opportunity to do more good.

There is no doubt that King Laurie and his ministers had a terrible performance in the first battle, and if they did not adjust as soon as possible, this kind of mess would become more and more disrupted, and their energy would be exhausted.

And in this process, the contradictions between King Laurie and his ministers slowly began to come to the fore.

This is especially evident in the attitude towards the infidels.

King Laurie still meant to favor the Holy See for the Holy See, and let them directly send the Papal Knights to deal with this matter, they have a lot of experience in this area, and at the same time, they don't need the royal family to send people to send food, and they can sit back and enjoy the best of both worlds.

This proposal was strongly opposed by the royalists led by Douglas, not only because it was unprecedented in the history of the royal family, but also because of its profound significance.

This is tantamount to putting the power of arrest and judgment that originally belonged to the royal family into the hands of the Holy See.

At that time, the Holy See can brazenly detain and try its subjects in the royal territory in the name of arresting cultists.

Whether this will exacerbate the conflict between the local lords and the Holy See will not be said for the time being.

But among the people, the impact will definitely be far-reaching, and many unbelievers, with the intention of avoiding destruction, will be forced to join the Holy See in order to seek refuge.

Once this kind of precedent is opened, the royal family may be able to get a small benefit from it in a short time.

But in the long run, it will be poisonous, and it will greatly affect the stability of the Lancelot royal rule.

At this time, the royalists began to understand the helplessness of Princess Sophia at the beginning.

His own ruler turned his elbow outward as if he had committed an evil sin, and sent the power of the royal family into the hands of other powers.

On the contrary, the people below them jumped to their feet in a hurry, and the result of blocking them only made the young king angry, and turned his head to rectify himself in other ways.

But for the sake of the future of their territory, they had to resist with all their might.

Even if it was with the joint efforts of the royalist faction, this matter was suppressed vigorously, but their position in King Laurie's mind was plummeting, and if it weren't for the fact that many things in the territory needed to rely on them, they would have been eliminated one by one.

In this case, many royalists even began to miss the days when Princess Sophia was regent.

Her Royal Highness the princess is certainly a little overbearing, and they will lose a lot of opportunities to reap benefits and rights from it.

But without so much nonsense, such a ridiculous request of the Holy See would be sternly rejected without them having to go out at all.

More precisely, they doubted that the Holy See would dare to make such a request to Princess Sophia, because according to the nature of the Lord, it was likely that they would be labelled with a bad plan and turned against them to oppress them.

During this period, Douglas, as the acting prime minister, even secretly sent a messenger to the princess's fief to ask Princess Sophia for help.

As you can imagine, the messenger was thrown in the princess's fiefdom and was cold for more than half a month before he was received by a local mayor.

Not to mention Princess Sophia herself, even several core figures of the princess faction have never met each other, let alone get any promises.

Are you kidding.

Princess Sophia had managed to jump out of that bowl of rancid, disgusting soup, how could they allow such a rotten thing to disgust Her Highness's eyes and ears again?

They could easily forget the disgusting deeds they had done in Valesta, the royal capital, but they couldn't.

Her Royal Highness Sophia is married, and she is now the mistress of the Eternal Night Lord, and then the princess of the Lancelot royal family.

The most important thing for her now is to raise the baby with peace of mind.

This kind of information was ignored from top to bottom, and it was not sent to Princess Sophia at all.

Sean also turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

My wife attaches great importance to her family, which is both her strength and her disadvantage.

is still like this for his half-brother, and he will definitely not treat his future children badly.

But she has invested too much emotion in King Laurie, and it has begun to affect her own normal life, especially when the other party is at its worst.

Sophia continued to rush forward will only hurt herself more and wear out the relationship between the two for many years.

It's better to keep a distance and let King Laurie toss.

Time will tell who makes the right decision.

As for the Lancelot royal family, it is not so easy to toss, because this is a huge interest group, and the king is only the leader of this group.

When the king made a decision that was beneficial to this interest group, they naturally embraced it.

But if it's unfavorable, they'll bounce back, and the more unfavorable it is, the stronger the rebound, and the royalists are only part of it.

This pagan incident is the best proof of this.

Even if Princess Sophia had to come forward, she would have to wait until King Laurie was now thinking abnormally and was exhausted from tossing the entire Lancelot royal family.

At that time, King Laurie didn't even realize what was wrong with him.

The veteran lords and nobles of the Lancelot royal family will also realize that there will be no more thankless and disgusting things like before.

Compared with everything that happened on the Odin steppe, these dirty things within the Byron alliance are a little out of the table.

The Theodin Empire's plan to become a desperate household has come into effect.

The relatively hot and humid environment of the Balsing Savannah in summer has turned it into a huge steamer, and the corpses that have been frozen for the winter are rapidly rotting, becoming a breeding ground for germs, insects and flies to hatch.

With their appearance, the plague appeared almost inevitably, beginning to wreak havoc in this troubled land.

Those people of the East Odin Empire, who were like moles and buried themselves deep in all corners, had not had time to congratulate themselves on escaping the military disaster, and they were attacked one after another, watching their people wither in front of them like autumn grass and trees.

They can avoid the monstrous soldiers of the Theodin Empire, but they can't avoid the clutches of the plague.

No matter how strong the forces of the Theodin Empire were, it was impossible for them to set foot in the corners of the Balsing steppe, especially since they themselves were in a state of motion.

But the plague is vectored by hundreds of millions of mosquitoes and flies, and there is no way to avoid it.

What's more, most of them don't know at all, and the culprits that cause a large number of their clansmen to fall ill are these inconspicuous little things.

Soon after the plague raged, they had to face an even harsher famine.

Because it was not only people who fell in pieces, but also the herds of cattle on which the Orcs of Odin depended.

If you compare it carefully, human beings are far more resistant to disease than those animals.

When the plague raged, at least some people survived.

Once the herd is hit, it will fall in pieces, and the low survival rate is terrifying.

These animals that died of the epidemic knew that even the unseen Orcs of Odin could not eat them.

The number of deaths was too high for them to deal with, and as a result, the disease worsened and expanded in the herd.

In the summer when the products are most abundant, the remnants of the East Odin Empire are facing famine, how can they survive the winter when the products are scarce?

This is a problem in front of all the survivors of the East Odin Empire, several heirs of the Lion Clan Royal Court who have fought and died for the inheritance have to give up their past prejudices and gather together to discuss the future of the East Odin Empire, although in the eyes of most Odin orcs, the East Odin Empire has no future at all, but they are still holding on to it.
