Chapter 161: The Battle of Unification 3
Salo Town.
The atmosphere of the war was not so tense here, and the entire town of Salo was under the control of the three dukes, but the three dukes were obviously not as cautious as Mars, and the people of Salo were free to come and go as they pleased.
Even the merchants who came to sell their goods were in a constant stream, after all, the town of Salo was also a prosperous commercial town before that.
The largest courtyard in Salo was the Mayor's House, which became the temporary residence of the United Kingdom when the Governor of Nia, Barrow Quinn, arrived, and the Mayor's family of more than 50 people was expelled from his home.
For this reason, Biel, the mayor of the town of SalΓ², hated the United Kingdom so much that this hatred made him choose to join His Majesty Mars, and quickly became a secret agent.
At this moment, Biel nodded to one of the housekeepers of Nia with a smiling face, and said: "Chief Hal, don't worry, I will have the wine ready for the banquet, I just hope that you will agree to introduce His Majesty Nia to me, then I will be grateful." β
As he spoke, a bag of coins was handed over at once.
Chief Auditor Hal smiled, then stuffed the money bag into his pocket, snorted lightly, and said, "Your Majesty Nia is busy with affairs, but I think you are an old thing, so let's take care of the arrangement of the banquet, and there will be a chance to meet Your Majesty in the future." β
Biel was overjoyed and immediately smiled: "Thank you, Lord Steward, the little one will definitely behave well!"
But in his heart, Biel despised him very much, "Although he is the governor, he is also a good-eyed man who sees money, and he can't be on the table, His Majesty Nia, the United Kingdom, can't be on the table!"
In the United Kingdom of Sunset, there are three kings, and in order to distinguish their respective titles, they take their respective provinces as their kings, that is, Barrow is the governor of the province of Nia and proclaims himself king of Nia, Kafsky is the governor of the province of Lonna, so he proclaims himself king of Lonna, and Carnegie, the governor of the province of Kodagar, proclaims himself king of Kodagar.
And in order to distinguish the three kings, the three kings did not want their status to be high or low, and did not call them the king, the second king, and the three kings, so they let the courtiers call them His Majesty.
Since Barrow invaded Biel's house, he brought not only his cooks and dancers from the city of Nia, but also more than a dozen pampered women, which was almost like visiting the palace, and as for military affairs, he was almost lost to the Minister of War, Lawn, a mediocre and arrogant nobleman.
He was able to become the Minister of War of His Majesty in the United Kingdom of Sunset Nia, only because he had offered Nia his beautiful cousin, and his own military prowess, if one were to quantify it, was almost zero.
Of course, Lawne doesn't admit this, he also hunted a rat with a group of mud kids when he was a child, so he thinks he still has military talent.
Moreover, thanks to his efforts, the Nia Legion grew to 120,000 men, of which 3,000 were knights.
For this reason, His Majesty also named him an earl, saying that when he won the battle, he would be given the title of duke.
At this moment, Lawne returned from the barracks to gamble, if it weren't for the fact that the dinner was already close, he probably still struggled at the gambling table, and at the gambling table he seemed to feel the majesty and pride of being an earl.
As soon as Biel entered the banquet hall, he saw Raun, for whom Biel was not too familiar, but he knew that Raun was His Majesty's Minister of War and was in charge of the Nia Legion.
Therefore, as soon as he saw Lawne, Biel felt that he might be able to get some information, which had never had such a good opportunity before.
"Villains see adults!" said Bill, bowing deeply.
Raun glanced at Biel, snorted in disgust, and said, "Old man, is there something wrong?"
Bielden suddenly showed a flattering smile and said, "The villain is about to enter the banquet hall to decorate, so the villain wants to remind the adults that there are still two hours before the banquet starts, so it's still early, and the adults can go to the living room to rest, where there are already many officials waiting." Of course, if the adults want to rest alone, the villain suggests that the adults can walk straight from here and walk through a long corridor to reach a flower pavilion. β
"Well, you old man is kind of interesting, but I don't want to rest, I'm just waiting here for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the soldiers' salaries...... Ahem, you know, I'm a man who is loved by the soldiers, and I have to work for their welfare, so ......"
Lawne seemed to notice that he had almost revealed his military information to a strange old man, and immediately stopped.
Biel felt a moment of regret in his heart, but he suddenly had an idea, and said: "My lord, you are in charge of military affairs, and you are tired day and night. β
As he spoke, he took out a beautiful box from his pocket, handed it out with both hands, and said: "This is something that the villain has treasured for thirty years, and I am willing to give it to the adult, and it can be regarded as giving this treasure a real owner." β
Raun is not a fool, he naturally saw the flattery of this old man, since he became the Minister of War, many people have flattered him, so he naturally accepted the gift, and then opened it to take a look, his eyes suddenly condensed, and said, "This is?"
Biel had already seen the surprise in Lawn's eyes, and immediately smiled: "These are two dice made from the top of two ten-year-old ivory, and they are the only dice work of the great carving artist Robin Solomon." β
In the Kingdom of Sunset City, all the nobles knew the characteristics of the works of the great carving artist Robin, that is, each carving material would only carve one work, so that Robin's works became a luxury item for the nobles to collect.
In the market, a Robin work was almost fried to more than 100,000 gold knives.
There is no doubt that this ivory dice work is undoubtedly extremely extravagant.
Lawn's face turned red and his heart beat hard, he finally had a collection that could be called extravagant, and it was his favorite dice!
Of all the gambling tools, his favorite is dice gambling.
"Well, yes, yes, yes, what's your name?" Lawn couldn't afford to be in vain, he was only thinking about getting along with the old man at the moment, after all, such a luxury was not something ordinary people could offer.
Biel smiled contemptuously in his heart, but his face was still very sincere, and he said, "Lord Lawn, the villain's name is Biel, and he used to be the mayor of this town. β
"Oh, so you're the mayor of the town, okay, in that case, then you'll mess with me from now on, and remember to come to me after the banquet!"
After that, he patted Biel on the shoulder twice, and seemed to be very satisfied with Biel.
It's just that Biel knows in his heart what Raun wants.
However, Biel was also relieved, originally he wanted to get close to His Majesty Nia in various ways, but he didn't expect to meet Lawn, who was in charge of military affairs, and he was really sleepy and sent a pillow, which was really good.
The banquet was held as scheduled.
The three kings of the United Kingdom of Sunset were present at the banquet and gave speeches, and all were confident that they would defeat Mars, for they had an army of 350,000 men.
Barrow was dressed in a costume, stood up, holding a goblet with red wine in it, he tapped the glass a few times, and the banquet hall suddenly fell silent, he was already handsome, and after dressing up at this time, he looked even more handsome, he cleared his throat slightly, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to tell you is that according to the intelligence of our spies on the little baffle, the little bat only has 150,000 troops, and we have 350,000 troops, which is twice as much as the little wimp's army and 50,000 more, you say, we can't win?"
"I will definitely win!" a subordinate echoed.
Suddenly, in the entire banquet, everyone began to echo, "350,000 beats 150,000, more than 200,000, even spitting can drown them!"
"That's it, it's still our Sunset United Kingdom!"
