Chapter 238: It's good to make a big fuss
Of course, the old village chief understood what Mo Shen meant, although Mo Shen was His Royal Highness, but that was His Royal Highness of the Lion Realm, they were the village of the Crow Realm, and they were also one of the territories of Xiaolu City, Mo Shen could not garrison troops in their village.
"Thank you, Your Highness, if it's too late today, if you don't dislike it, we will hold a banquet to entertain you. The old village chief said.
"No, I know it's not easy for the villagers to make money, so don't hold a banquet, old village chief, go and appease the villagers now, I'm going to go to Xiaolu City to meet with Duke Aldemar, I'll stay soon!" Mo Shen turned around and left.
Mo Shen took the cavalry and quickly rushed to Xiaolu City, but at this time, Xiaolu City had closed the city gate.
Deyol shouted loudly: "Brother guarding the city, my Royal Highness has an urgent matter to see Duke Aldemar!"
The soldiers defending the city of Xiaolu City also know Deyoer, Mo Shen's current name is quite famous in Xiaolu City, and Deyoer, as a general under Mo Shen, is naturally famous, plus Deyoer often comes to Xiaolu City to trade, some soldiers naturally recognize him.
"Your Highness Mo Shen, please wait a moment, I'll go here to report to the Grand Commander!" the captain of the soldiers replied in a loud voice.
Although they had already determined that it was His Highness Mo Shen's team, none of them dared to open the city gate without the order of the Grand Commander on this big night.
"Lord Duke, His Royal Highness Mo Shen and his entourage of fifty-three people have arrived outside the city, and His Royal Highness Mo Shen said that he has something important to see you!" said the herald.
Duke Alderma frowned, this time, what did Mo Shen come to him for, but he still said, "Let them in!" and then turned around and went to the back room to change clothes.
Mo Shen and the others entered the city, the knights were waiting outside, and Mo Shen took Deyoer and Teddy to fight the inner hall of the city lord's mansion.
"Your Highness Mo Shen, what is the important reason for coming here late at night?" asked Duke Aldemar.
"Duke, just now, I received a call for help from the villagers of Bazek, and personally led the troops to Bazek, fifty bandits surrounded Bazek, but all of them have been annihilated by me, but I think there is news to tell the duke, this group of people is not bandits at all, but people from Changge Port" Mo Shen said as he drank tea.
"This" Duke Aldemar didn't expect Mo Shen to find him.
"Duke, I have already told you about the matter, as for how you deal with it, it is your business, after all, this is the problem of your Crow territory, I will go back first, but my lord, your territory, I can't send troops again and again. Mo Shen said with a smile.
Duke Aldemar thought for a while and said, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness Mo Shen will help, I will send more patrols in the future, and as for today's matter, I will ask for an explanation!"
Mo Shen smiled slightly, and left Xiaolu City overnight with the people and returned to Dazhai.
Back in Dazhai, in Mo Shen's big tent, Luo Luo and others have arrived.
"Your Highness, the village chief of Bazek said that they only need food, but why would the people of Changge Harbor attack the village of Xiaolu City?" asked Deyoer, puzzled.
"Hehe, you don't think that Changge Port is short of military rations, do you! Sorrento, I want to hear your opinion. Mo Shen said with a smile
"Your Highness, this is not a matter of military rations, I think Duke Alderma should also think of it, what is the most important thing before the war? Of course, it is grain, grass and ordnance, but such an action in Changge Port is undoubtedly to hinder Xiaolu City from collecting grain and grass, and there are only two possibilities to do so.
The first possibility is that Alexis of Changge Port wants to attack Xiaolu City, but this probability is not large, although he Alexis is a reckless man, but he is not mentally retarded, in the absence of foreign wars and civil wars, unless he is crazy, he will take the initiative to attack Xiaolu City,
The second possibility, that is, maybe in the near future, there will be a big operation in the Raven Realm! He Alexis wants to distract Xiaolu City and can't achieve battle success! This probability is greater, you look at the recent information from Williams, Fields Miles mobilized the army group to the border of the Lion Realm, so that the defenders of Iron Oak City and Anson City were empty.
I suspect that the Raven Realm wants to take the opportunity to sneak up on Fieldsway, and now that Fieldsway's elite is being involved in the Lion Realm, it will be too late for them to withdraw their troops.
And in this kind of large-scale war, several dukes must want to take the lead, because this can involve the distribution of the two cities in the future, even if they can't get it directly, they can also promote their own people to the throne. Sorrento analyzed them one by one.
Mo Shen looked at the sand table and thought for a while and said: "You're right, the Crow Realm will definitely take action, and they know that once the Lion Realm is defeated, then their Crow Realm will not be much better, and the balance will be broken, so they are not only for the two cities on the border, but also for the Lion Realm." ”
"Your Highness is wise, now that the Empire and Fields have declared war on the Lion Realm, the Empire is attacking the Seven Cross Fortress with all its might, and Fields is also attacking Changxiao City with all its might, if the Lion Realm really loses, then in the future, he will have to face the attack of the two countries, rather than this, it is better to help the Lion Realm relieve the pressure.
As long as the Lion Realm is safe and sound, then he can also relieve a lot of pressure in the Raven Realm, and the benefits of this battle outweigh the losses for them, but Your Highness, in this way" Sorrento did not continue.
Mo Shen smiled and shook his head: "I know what you want to say, in fact, I also hope that the Lion Realm can survive the crisis, after all, if the empire and Fields really succeed, then our life will not be easy, now we have to take a long-term view, what we have to do is to garrison the troops in the garrison, and wait for the opportunity to kill the Lion Realm in one fell swoop!"
"Your Highness's meaning is understood, and your subordinates are wondering if they can cause some trouble for Changge Port!" Sorrento said.
Mo Shen smiled and waved his hand and said: "Don't need us, he Duke Alderma is not a waste, this is an infighting between them, let's not interfere, pass the order down, and strengthen the patrol outside Dazhai!"
At this time, the Duke of Alderma was still sleepy, and hurriedly led people to Bazek Village, looking at the fifty corpses outside the village, his face was gloomy.
"My lord, I know this man, he should be the captain of a cavalry under the command of Duke Alexis, called Hans. A middle-aged man said.
Duke Aldema said coldly: "Pack the fifty corpses, take them back, don't act rashly yet!"
Upon returning to the Lord's Palace, Duke Aldermar summoned his staff member, Sist, in.
"Come, think about what is the way to use this incident to target Changge Port. Duke Alderma asked directly.
"My lord, isn't His Majesty the King going to summon you the day after tomorrow, and you will be like this when the time comes," said Siste.
Duke Aldermar smiled slightly, turned back to the back room to rest.
And Mo Shen quietly watched this farce in the Crow Realm, in Mo Shen's heart, the bigger the trouble, the better, so that you won't pay attention to me.
In the royal palace of Raven City, Duke Alderma and several other commanders all gathered in the main hall, and King Gregory IV of Raven Realm sat on the dragon chair.
Carrying a burden, Duke Aldema stepped forward and knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, your subordinates were assassinated by Alexis's knight captain, and I was lucky to come to see you alive. ”
Alexis was stunned for a moment and then roared, "You fart! What am I assassinating you for, you are being framed!"
Gregory was stunned for a moment and then asked angrily, "What? You said you were assassinated by Alexis? Do you have any proof?"
"Your Majesty, you see that I brought the thief's head here, just because I was worried that Alexis would not admit it! And this damned thief, before assassinating me, led fifty soldiers in Changge Harbor, disguised as a bandit, and wanted to sack his subordinate village of Bazek! You can send someone to investigate this point to see if Weichen has any nonsense!" said Duke Aldemar.
Hearing Duke Aldemar's words, Alexis's heart struck, a few days ago he did arrange for someone to go to the village of the Great Tribulation Dawn Furnace City
One of the guards in the main hall unwrapped the baggage, and inside it was indeed Hans, the knight captain of Duke Alexis
"Bastard, Alexis, the big war is coming, what are you trying to do? Tell me clearly, or you won't have to leave today!" roared Gregory IV.
