Chapter 178: A Letter from the King

Your Royal Highness is fine!

It was the best news Simon had received in this time! The others were either riots or soldiers who needed to be quarantined.

"Your Highness, you're back!" Simon was as excited when he saw Murphy as a water-starved traveler in the desert saw a large bottle of water.

"I won't see you soon! You used to train in the barracks, and I was in the castle to handle political affairs, and it was normal not to see you for a week. Murphy waved his hand and said disappreciatively.

"No, I knew you were okay before, but this time you are in the quarantine zone! If you have three long and two short, how should we explain to Your Majesty? How can we explain to the people of Thunderburg?" Simon said.

"Alright, I'm fine, haven't you had any special circumstances lately?" Murphy sat down in his chair and shifted the subject.

"Help me get a piece of bread on a wooden plate and warm up a glass of milk, thank you. Murphy smiled and instructed Simon's assistant.

"Aside from the only good news that you're okay, it's been a bad thing lately. Simon shook his head, "There was a riot in the prisoner of war camp, and the commander of the second regiment of the Guards Division, Roland, was injured when he was fighting with the mastermind behind the scenes, and is now recuperating; more than 2,000 people have been reduced in the barracks due to the epidemic, but most of them are under observation, and if they do not become ill after half a month or so, they can be released from observation, and then our lack of troops can be replenished......

"And that's it, it's all kinds of documents and reports from Alsace, and I was asked to send them to the quarantine area for you, but now that you're out, I'll just hand them over to you. ”

Simon pulled a stack of papers out of a drawer and placed them in front of Murphy.

"It's so hard for me to have to deal with this stuff just after it was released!" Murphy couldn't help but smile bitterly as he picked up the papers.

Murphy looked back and forth through the documents, because of this war, the city has been in a wartime state for a long time, the workers of the sulfuric acid factory, the steel factory and the arsenal are working in three shifts each, and the various factories are also working at 24 hours, assembly line production of materials for the war.

But this mode of production is gradually overdrawing the resources of Remlosburg, such as saltpeter, which is now about to run out, and urgently needs to be imported from the saltpeter-producing Cliff City, if it is not replenished, the production of the military industry will stagnate, and the workers of the arsenal and sulfuric acid plant will also lose their economic resources, and then they will have to rely on government handouts, and it will also be a great burden on the town hall.

Although Remlos Fort had money now, it could not remain that way forever, and the huge amount of money from the sale of arquebuses and steam engines would be dragged down by tens of thousands of unemployed people two months after the factory was shut down.

Although the rebels were routed, the rout became a new problem, many of them would become robbers in the way, plundering the merchants, and the largest import route of Fort Lemlos would be greatly affected, and not many merchants would be willing to risk their lives to pass through the area

"In addition to the documents in front of you, there are two important issues. Simon took advantage of Murphy's reading of the document and spoke again.

"What's the problem?" Murphy put his right hand on his forehead, and the mage had made another mistake and had a headache.

"Charles's side has already recruited the soldiers of the original rebels, and negotiated with the looted civilians, now we have a population of millions, and the Crescent City, I think we can clean up the Crescent City again, after all, the Harlan family has fallen, and now it is a borderless land, we can annex it in the name of the royal family, otherwise the vassals of the Harlan family will come into the lord to talk, and it will become a land of mercy!"

Simon threw out two questions and made some suggestions of his own.

"Fortunately, these two problems are quite easy to solve, in this way, you first send a battalion of troops to control Crescent City, allow you to use artillery, and then I will ask Arthas to arrange for the newly admitted refugees to be rebuilt in Crescent City, and the population of more than one million is enough for us to rebuild the entire Vicondessay State. "It's not difficult to solve these two problems in the general direction, and you can know what to arrange at a glance, and the specific details of Murphy just need to be left to the officials of the city hall to do their work.

"I think so too. Simon nodded in agreement.

"Is Your Highness back? Your Highness! I have received two letters from Lorraine, the royal capital!" Charles heard that Murphy had returned, and hurried over, and as soon as he saw Murphy, he hurriedly delivered the two letters.

"I guess it's a letter from my father?" Murphy guessed.

Sure enough, one of the two letters was indeed from the king, while the other was marked with Rowling Grammer's name, and the emblem on the letter was in the shape of the Grammer's wand crossed with a spear, surrounded by a circle of golden ears of wheat.

Murphy opened the royal letter first, and it was still as verbose as the previous letter, but it was really informative.

The royal family had already received the news of the large-scale border conflict between the two countries, and King Sorens first comforted Murphy in his father's tone, and promised to provide a certain amount of support in terms of funds, materials and political resources, the total value of the aid was about 500,000 gold naso, which was a large sum, and such a large sum of money was enough to buy half of Rayburg!

Moreover, the king also praised Murphy's arquebus, and ordered the royal capital magic workshop to imitate it, and will implement equipment in all major troops of the kingdom, and specially pull out a team for training.

In addition, the royal capital has announced that it will regard a series of activities on the border of the Kingdom of Thebes as an undeclared war, and declared that the rescue operation of Remlos Fort is a self-defense counterattack, and the whole country has entered a state of war, and the declaration of war has now almost been sent to the hands of Klinsmann Romanov, the king of Zhennan of the Kingdom of Pobis, and the official war between the two countries began more than a dozen years ago, and all kinds of operations on the border are no longer restricted.

There is nothing good about the two countries about the declaration of war, but regarding the undead events at Fort Remlos-Fort Tulga, the diplomatic teams of the two countries have been constantly talking about the Holy Light Tribunal.

The Kingdom of Thebes insisted on claiming that the Kingdom of Wallaine colluded with the undead and killed thousands of elite soldiers in Thebes, on the grounds that the unknown necromancer had never been registered in the list of the Mage Guild and the Holy Light Tribunal, and that the illegal summoning of powerful death knights was an absolute unstable factor, and demanded that the Kingdom of Wallaine be open and transparent and open its borders to the Holy Light Tribunal for on-site inspections.

On the other hand, the Kingdom of Wallaeon regarded everything claimed by the Kingdom of Thebes as "wild dogs barking", "no gambling slander", and "dogs jumping over the wall", in a vain attempt to smear the image of the Kingdom of Wallen among the countries by relying on the undead incident, and did not show the demeanor of a great power", and also came up with "evidence" to prove that the necromancer who appeared on the border between the two countries, the vice president of the Lan Necromancer Academy, Ignaz Brown. Claire, the undead summoning in self-defense was legitimate, and Claire herself spoke out, claiming that the mage was herself, and her three apprentices could testify.

Of course, the letter also contains the king's reminder for the rebellion, asking Murphy to be vigilant, the rebels are moving in the direction of Remlos Fort, and the nobles are mobilizing the territorial soldiers to encircle and suppress, although this alert has expired for half a month, and the reinforcements have been delayed for more than half a week, but it also shows the royal family's concern and support for themselves.

The entire letter reveals the royal family's support for him.

Murphy finished reading the letter, shrugged his shoulders, took a deep breath, and opened Rowling Grammer's letter.
