When I heard the news of the death of His Majesty the Emperor, these city lords were actually very sad. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although Emperor Aldrich Franks did not have any commendable achievements in his life, and his personality is still a little suspicious.

However, on the other hand, Aldrich did not make any mistakes during his reign of more than 20 years, and he firmly controlled the situation of the French Empire, whether it was the reconciliation between the nobles who insisted on slavery in the south and the nobles who advocated freedom in the north, or the relationship with Ladovia, the mercenary country of Pompeii in the Magic Empire, His Majesty Aldrich could properly coordinate it.

Not only that, but for the bloody war in the south of France that lasted for more than a hundred years, he was always able to maintain an undefeated situation. As the emperor of the first great country of mankind, Aldrich's life is not luxurious, except that he has three queens and more than ten favorite concubines in his life, like the great nobles of the south who collect the beauties of the Campas Empire, but he has never done it.

On a macro level, His Majesty Aldrich Franks was a well-kept emperor, so almost all the learned nobles and lords thought that he had more merit than demerit. It's a pity that Aldrich sought stability all his life, but because his death was too abrupt, he didn't have time to determine an heir, which led to the French Empire now facing the danger of seven princes competing for the throne.

If the relationship between the princes and their factions is not managed to the point of swords and soldiers, then the final result is likely to be that the number one country in the human world, which has been inherited for more than a thousand years, will face a split situation.

……

"But Tulayan's old friend, it seems that Adam was not the only prince in the imperial capital of Francs at that time, and the youngest seventh prince, Alexander, has always lived in the palace,"

Hearing this, Tulayan leaned his head back on the back of the chair behind him, and after a deep groan, he said:

"It should ...... Unlikely, after all, he was only thirteen years old. And even if he wanted to sit in that position in vain, but what strength did he have to fight for it, His Majesty the Emperor didn't want him to leave his side in order to keep him from being remembered by his brothers, so he didn't give him the opportunity to cultivate power. Aside from the fact that two close men kept him safe, he had never heard of any followers. ”

"That's true, but Your Majesty is a little too selfish in this matter. In order to see his youngest son, he almost deprived him of his future and hope. It's just that I heard that the seventh prince Alexander likes literature, loves to read books when he has nothing to do, and doesn't even care about things like cultivating to improve his strength, so I think he himself may not be here,"

"Perhaps, people born in the royal family don't think the same thing as us, and don't look at Alexander's young age, but don't underestimate his mental level."

"What about us,"

"Let's take care of the things in front of us first, try not to get involved in the struggle for the throne, what is the future of the empire, we just need to see first. I think that as long as we resolutely remain neutral, no matter which prince sits in that position in the end, we will not have much of a problem. On the contrary, if the Slavic kingdom can't stand it, the next target of those damned undead souls will definitely be the Francois Empire, and then the first ones to be unlucky will be our northern cities. ”

After listening to Tulayan's analysis, all the city lords present nodded in agreement with his statement, people have no long-term worries, compared to the battle for the throne that is likely to take a long time, the immediate support for the Slavic kingdom is indeed much more important.

"Good. We all listen to you. So what should we do next, give them food for free,"

"No, it's not the time to do that. After all, our aid is not supported by the Empire, although with the financial resources of the northern cities, these grains and the like are nothing. But don't forget, we don't know how long this war will last, and if we don't get some money, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long. ”

"Makes sense......"

"That's true......"

"Then Tulayan old friend, I'll arrange for everyone to prepare more food ......"

"Wait."

"How,"

"Food support alone is not enough, after all, the Slavic population has now been reduced by more than half, and sooner or later it will be consumed by their strength alone. Gotta find a way to get them some military power. ”

"Are we going to send an army over, so that if those nobles in the south know about it, I'm afraid they will say that we collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and even if they don't say it, will the Slavic kingdom allow our army to cross the border?"

For this issue, Tulayan naturally made arrangements for a long time. I saw him playing with the huge gemstone ring on the thumb of his right hand, and then said with a smile:

"I didn't say that I was going to send an army to fight, in fact, I just wanted to contact some mercenaries to participate in the battle, but when you say that, I think we should send some elite soldiers over to reconnoitre, and find out how far the snow field is being attacked now, and those undead spirits, how strong are they and how to deal with them, this can be regarded as a rainy day, and make some preparations for the battles that are likely to occur in the future......"

Not to mention how Tulayan and the other city lords discussed the details of the follow-up, as far as Ingir, who was now the head of the convoy, was concerned, she had never felt so busy.

From the deployment, transportation and storage of food and materials, to the management of the vehicles and livestock of the accompanying men, sergeants, and various accidents and attacks that may exist on the way back and forth, Ingier now understands why his powerful father had gray hair a few years ago.

That's just a lot of worry.

Now fortunately, she still has two good sisters Lyreira and Aprile by her side to help, otherwise if she was alone, she would not be able to handle all kinds of things in such a large team of more than a thousand people.

In fact, Ingier, a genius beauty in combat and cultivation, is really a mess in terms of overall management. If it weren't for the fact that Lerella, who was a businessman, would have taken care of all kinds of accounts and personnel for her, just the piles of bills and orders to sign and so on, would have made her head and two.

But even so, such a complicated thing fell on Lerella alone, which made her tired, but for the safety of her homeland and her good sister, Lerella also fought hard.

As for April, she's pretty much the same guy as Ingill, and she's the best at fighting, but what about the rest...... What the hell are those, so on the surface, Ingier is the supreme commander of this transport team named Snow Lifeline, the chief of the team.

However, in fact, she and Aprilir have become the leader of the warriors in the team, and generally speaking, after entering the Slavic Dead Country, whenever they encounter a squad of undead souls, or a sporadic high-level undead, they will each bring a team of warriors to destroy them.

In this way, although the transport team has completed several transportation tasks excellently, the three of them are very tired. Well, to be precise, Lyreira is the only one who is tired to die and live all day long, and as for Ingier and April, it's too late to have a fight and be happy, and you can kill the undead all day long. It's a hundred times stronger than holding back in the city and wanting to take care of this scruples.

"Speaking of which, the third child, do you feel that you have encountered a lot more high-level undead recently than at the beginning?"

Anyway, the eldest sister Lyreira stayed in the transport team to deal with all kinds of affairs, and Ingier and April, who couldn't help, simply didn't help and caused trouble, but came to the tavern to eat and drink. In fact, the work of escorting this transport team is not easy, every time it brings out 400 soldiers of the Northern Army for the purpose of training, no matter how few they come, they have to lose more than ten or twenty.

And this is the result of the two of Ingier and April, with a few fourth-order silver-level masters, doing their best to protect them, if not, I am afraid that the number of casualties will be at least more than one-third of the fighters each time.

"You really feel a little bit like this, at the beginning, most of them were some first-order and second-order skeleton warriors and zombies, even if they encountered a single wandering undead, they were just some skeleton warriors or zombie berserkers of the third order or so, but now they ......"

With that, Ingier glanced at the hole in his cloak and took a long sip of ale. And what she didn't finish, it was April who helped her out.

"This time I met the hundreds of low-level undead led by the skeleton captain, no matter how you look at it, it already has a bit of a military flavor, and those lowest-level skeleton zombies in the past are all cannon fodder of the first order, and many of them don't even have decent weapons. Fortunately now, not only do they have bone knives and shields, but some even have metal weapons. ”

"Not really. When I came back this time, I sneaked up on my skeleton archer, and his strength was almost to the level of the fourth-order silver high-level, if it weren't for the Dou Qi armor to block it, its extremely fast bone arrow would definitely be enough to shoot me through. ”

Speaking of the black skeleton undead archer who was dismantled by the two of them, April couldn't help but sigh, just because this guy led a sneak attack by a group of undead spirits, in just a few minutes, Ingier's side paid the price of more than 30 lives.

"Speaking of which, I'm afraid that the Slavic Snow Field is about to fall, otherwise there wouldn't be so many high-level undead in this border area."

"Who knows, hey~ just do your best, I just hope that the Slavic kingdom can hold on, otherwise the tragedy will be staged on our side of Fran......"

At this moment, while Ingier and Aprile were drinking ale and chatting, a group of people suddenly walked in at the door of the tavern, looking at the dress, that is, a little like a mercenary, but much more advanced than the weapons and armor used by ordinary mercenaries.

And when the middle-aged man at the head of the group looked around the tavern, his eyes suddenly lit up after seeing Ingier's side face, and then he walked straight to the table where the second daughter was with his subordinates, and said with a smile:

"Miss Ingier, don't come to harm~"
