Chapter 103 Visiting Relatives on Order
After a period of conversation, Derek greatly subverted the stereotype that the king was an amateur military enthusiast, and all the seemingly unreliable brain-dead behaviors were the result of political games, and the results seemed to be good.
It can even be that the reason why Duke Mountbatten chose this time to launch a rebellion is that, of course, there is a reason to take advantage of the chaos with the help of the orc invasion.
On the other hand, the bigger reason is that they were forced here by His Majesty's strategy after strategy, and after last year's Delen Barbarian Crusade, the Duke's faction was greatly damaged.
If this year's orc invasion is repeated by the king, without the king's anything, the nobles below who are riding on the wall and watching will fall back to the king's side, and then stop starting a rebellion, it will be difficult to save their own lives.
Anyway, if you don't rebel, you will die, and if you rebel, you will die, and the latter can fight again, so there is now the turmoil in the Lane Kingdom, up, Duke Mountbatten is also a very capable hero, except for the fifteen legions of Duke Mountbatten belonging to his own forces outside the city, blocking the passage between the east and the west, cutting off the connection between the orc crusading army.
There were also a large number of mercenaries who spent a lot of money to invite them, nearly 50,000 people surrounded the west of the royal capital, blocking the road to transfer reinforcements from the western provinces, and more than 60,000 people cobbled together from various noble armies, blocking the communication with the eldest son-in-law Hal Kingdom in the north of the royal capital.
The royal capital was truly isolated, and the two knights of the southern province of Orson and the local city defense legion had to stay to guard against the invasion of the Delun barbarians, and they could not be moved lightly, and now the city relied on five Praetorian Guard legions loyal to the royal family to rely on the city fortifications to barely resist.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand, in this situation, if my Rus Territory hadn't survived the beast invasion and annihilated the whole army, what would you do? I understand that in your initial plan, it seems that you didn't think about the possibility of us winning at all, you just made sure that I could protect Wei'er and escape together, didn't you?"
Derek was puzzled and asked his doubts, and the king smiled mysteriously.
"No matter how shameless the Duke of Mountbatten is, how can he be a veteran of many years of battlefield battles, even if I make trouble in it, at least the strength is there, why do you think the Delenn barbarians can defeat the elite troops in his hands?"
Derek suddenly came to his senses, comprehended, and showed a good and bad expression, with His Majesty the King, you didn't stir up a lot, right?
"In fact, not long after I ascended the throne, the Delenn barbarians have already joined the Lane Kingdom, this matter is still your father to discuss, the leader of Delun Rao Hugene is not a very ambitious person, as long as I can make his people live a better life, I am willing to submit to the Lane Kingdom. ”
At this point, a strange smile appeared on the king's face: "Stink, do you know what your mother's true identity is?"
"Your Majesty, all I know is that my mother was a commoner-born town woman. Derek smiled bitterly: "Listen to what you mean, my mother's background must not be simple, right?"
"It's not easy," said His Majesty the King playfully, "I just asked your father to go on a secret mission for me, but I was terrified when he abducted the daughters of other tribe leaders?"
Derek gave a big thumbs up to the dead ghost father he had never met in his heart, this wave of operations is really six, office and love are not wrong, and he is worthy of being the pillar of the country.
But Derek is a little bit of a sense of coming back, together with your royal family has been picking up our Rose family's pit, my grandfather's generation has helped you calm down a mess, and in the end, except for a large fief, it is still the most difficult to manage the interracial mixed area, and the title has not moved.
Daddy has been secretly making cows and horses for your royal family, and in the end he died an unknown death, and now he is starting to cheat me again, right?
"Derek!" Chief Anderson, who noticed the change in Derek's expression, shouted: "It is the duty of a courtier to do his best for the royal family! ”
"What's wrong with our Ross family?" said Derek, the first time he had been reprimanded like this by his uncle, no matter how much he had made a mistake, Uncle Anderson would always be gentle and steady in his image, and he did everything in an orderly manner.
Whether it is the memory of the predecessor or what he has seen and heard since he came, his understanding of family history is almost zero, as if it has been deliberately covered up.
Anderson: "I'll tell you about this later, let's get the new things sorted out first, Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, and I suggest you make a long story short, so that Derek can quickly understand the situation and get on the road sooner." ”
Listen, is this still human talk? What does it mean to quickly figure it out and get on the road quickly, is this still a pro-uncle? What about Li Tiemei's cousin?
You see people singing "Grandma, listen to me, my cousin, I can't count ......"
"Uncle Anderson, you don't want to send me on your way no matter how much you hate me, you're my own uncle!" Derek cried out in displeasure.
"Stinky man, where do you want to go, your uncle meant to send you on a mission. The king glanced at Rick helplessly, what was going on in his head, and he really didn't know what Wei'er liked about him.
"Mission?"
"Originally, Anderson and I have been thinking about who should be sent to contact the Deren people in the south to besiege the rebels together, but after thinking about a few candidates, I didn't expect that your son happened to come over at this time, and it was decided that it was you!"
The king high-fived himself and laughed happily, and now it seemed that there was no more suitable person than Derek.
"Pikachu?" said Derek, confused.
"At this time, the Delun people will inevitably be a little sensitive, on the one hand, they will doubt the identity of the person who came, which side they belong to, on the other hand, the current war situation is unfavorable, although the Delun people have always been upright and trustworthy, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some other ideas.
I think at this time, only you go is the best choice, now the leader of Delun Rao is your own uncle, if nothing else, just your appearance and your mother are enough to gain his trust, in addition, with your special way of appearing, it can also play a certain deterrent effect, although they may not have other thoughts, but it is also good to give them some confidence. ”
His Majesty the King really deserves to be a schemist, his heart is really dirty, he really thinks about everything, no wonder Duke Mountbatten can't play with the king, a stunned young man who can only fight, how can he compare with this kind of old coward.
