Chapter 25: Digging a Corner
General Iros's hatred for the Desserts was to the core, and if it weren't for the troubles of these barbarians, the exploits of Grid City alone would have been enough to impress the Emperor even more with him, and even if His Highness Albert and the old monk were safe and sound in the end, they still had the handle in their hands.
After all, the general is a general, and he quickly figured out the emperor's mind this time, and the purpose of his trip was to firmly grasp the fruits of victory in his hands. As Wellington's deputy, he doesn't necessarily need to be completely obedient to this bad old man.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Iros deliberately did not enter the city of Frank, so that he could avoid meeting Borot. The duke knew the cunning general's thoughts, but at the moment, the enemy was the emperor, so he didn't show any dissatisfaction. Wellington still kept telling Borot to hold on to the city and not to attack. The duke said to him angrily and funny: "Don't worry, so many of you are on the front line, I won't have anything to do when I go out of the city!"
So Iros joined forces with Wellington and marched slowly and methodically towards the city of Rûm. Wellington was very polite to Iros, and although the other party was nominally his deputy, he still knew what the emperor was thinking.
The old general only asked one question: "Since the emperor wants to occupy the city of Roma, shouldn't we hurry forward, lest we not be able to make a difference when we have not gained an inch?"
Iros said with a smile on his face: "Desert and King Richard of Hope are both forces that His Majesty fears, let them consume them in front first, and when the fire is almost over, if I will go to help later, it will be the grace of Ganlin rain and dew." That's a lot of credit!"
Wellington nodded repeatedly.
......
Emperor Defot had been settling near Luther's House for a long time, but the great electors had not heard of any troops, which made the emperor very annoyed.
At this time, he suddenly received a secret report that the Duke of Kentan in the western part of the empire seemed to have the intention of rebelling, and he stepped up the training of troops and horses in his capital for several days, and stationed heavy troops in dangerous passes in the country, as if he had cut off contact with the empire.
Deliot said angrily: "The Deseth people came to attack, but the Imperial Council did not come to attend, I thought that he had a long way to go, and I would forgive him, but now he took the initiative to do this great rebellion, do you really think that I don't have the courage to raise troops to destroy him?"
The Duke of Loyle advised: "Kentan is located in a remote area, with rugged mountain roads, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If His Majesty takes the initiative to send troops to go, he will definitely not be able to bargain for anything. Although Duke Kentan has objections, it has not been made public for the time being. His Majesty may order the Earl of Destiny to the east to strengthen his garrison, and if Kentan does attack, he will not hesitate to hold the city and wait for backup. ”
Del T.L. calmed down a little, and suddenly another confidential urgent report came, saying that His Royal Highness Albert of the Duchy of Borot led more than 10,000 soldiers in the country to personally conquer the country of Antipastobe, and now the capital of the country had been surrounded, and the city was about to be breached.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he got up, and all the paper, pen, documents and other things on the table were thrown out as angry things, he was angry and lost his manners: "Good boy, worthy of being Borot's son, he will really seize the opportunity and rob while the fire is hot." Antipasto is also a member of my empire, and I really underestimate him if he dares to attack with troops without my permission!"
Although Duke Loyle was also a little panicked, he still took the overall situation into account, and he comforted: "Your Majesty is angry. Antipasto, located on the edge of the southern forest, is nominally under the jurisdiction of our empire, but in reality it has little to do with it. This country is backed by the Danse Forest and has a close relationship with the elves, so we might as well turn a blind eye and give this country to the prince Albert for the time being. Bordering the elves will only add to the trouble, and there is no real benefit, so your Majesty can rest assured. ”
"First Kentan, now Albert, that's how the empire's territory has been encroached upon. Deliot's anger continued, "The previous emperors were too cowardly, and now I have wiped their butts for so many years, but I can't clean them up." Borot deceived people so much, how could he not know that his own son had acted like this?
Loyle was speechless, because he himself hated Duke Borot to the core, and he had long wanted to deal with it.
"In the end, it's the Pope who thinks he represents the Heavens!" Deleven calmed down a little, "If it weren't for his intervention, the Duchy of Borot would have fallen into my hands long ago." Since they have recovered the holy city of Roma one by one, then I will let them all be buried there!"
"What does Your Majesty mean?" asked Royle cautiously.
"Those old men think that there are many believers in Roma City, and although it is true, I also have a trump card, and now that this is the case, I must use it!" Deliot clenched his fists and slammed a few cases.
......
It turns out that the owner of the Hiccup Dragon Tavern in Roma City is usually submissive, inconspicuous, and never openly supports any party, but in fact, these are only superficial phenomena, and his real identity is the leader of an elite spy placed by the emperor in Roma City.
The so-called real people do not show their faces, and they do not show their faces to be real people, this is not wrong at all. The Hiccup Dragon Tavern is a great place to gather news. Whether it's a lurking polymath monk or a black-robed mage of the Dessertes, whether it's a businessman or a stealer, they all come here for a few drinks at their leisure.
In fact, this tavern was secretly bought by the emperor more than 100 years ago, and several emperors installed their henchmen in it, so that they could monitor the movements of the Desert and the followers of the Liberal Arts, and those who went back and forth between the north and the south were also the emperor's key objects.
Since the city of Rûm was taken over by the northern barbarians, the boss has become the most loyal friend of the infidels. The black-robed mages who come here to spend money are all folded in half, and the same is true for the merchants and soldiers of Desset. This even reached the ears of Field Marshal Cripp, who ordered the boss to be thanked and given him the Medal of Honor Dessert as a token of encouragement. In order to buy people's hearts, the five judges of the Black Robe Society also attach great importance to the tavern owner, so this place is particularly exquisite.
Del T.L. felt that he could use the Black-robed Mage Society to make his own article, and he sent a flying pigeon to the boss to ask him to behave like this: "Hyde, King Hope and the Holy See have all arrived recently, since the black-robed people have a conflict with Marshal Cripp, you can contact the five major commentators, and say that Emperor Tamborance is willing to make a deal to help them get rid of the marshal, in exchange, let them mobilize all resources to eliminate the Holy See, King Hope and others." If it goes well, Roma City can give it to them, of course, in order to hide people's eyes, they can pretend to fight, and then act at the opportunity. Dilliot. ”
After the boss Heide got the book, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to the former Bojiao Church in Roma City, where the five major discussions were often discussed. Kanin was the most powerful of the five, and the closest to Hyde, so the tavernkeeper whispered a few words to him, and after getting his approval, he raised his voice a little to indicate his intentions.
After hearing this, Digg couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Your emperor is fierce and treacherous, the world knows it, and you can't participate in the affairs of the Desert, this deal is not cost-effective!"
The other three were also suspicious, only Kanin stood in front of him and said loudly: "Master Dig's words are wrong, Marshal Kripp and Tugrul and others rely on their own military power, regardless of the life and death of the Deserts, and raise swords in vain, just for their own selfish thoughts. The Bodi continent is vast, and it would be a fool's dream to completely conquer it. At that time, the Orlint Empire could stand side by side with the Guvenne Empire, so why couldn't we Deseth people live in peace with the Tamborans in the north and south? The way of business is the duty and duty of our people. ”
Digger had never disliked Cripp's delusional desire to unify the Bodi continent, so Kanin's statement hit the nail on the head, and he immediately had no objections.
The other three commentators asked in unison, "How can we trust the Tamborans who are cunning, and their emperor is even more so?"
Kanin said with a smile: "The Holy See and the King of Hope are our fierce rivals no matter what, why not have an additional Emperor Tamborance behind us? As long as the Emperor helps us, there is no turning back, otherwise it will not become a self-demolition corner? What are you worried about?"
Digger finally agreed, and the other three stopped insisting on their opinions.
Seeing that the task had been successfully accomplished, Hyde immediately repaired the book and sent it to the Emperor, and Deliot was overjoyed, and now only the problem of Borot and his son remained. Although the young highness was guilty of using troops without permission, the emperor decided to pass on the book to stabilize him first, and then ordered someone to rush to pay his respects in person.
......
Since Albert's side worshipped the Crawford brothers as Sasuke's counselors, he had the air of a tyrant for a while, and the two brothers were shocking. Planned far and won thousands of miles, and used the old and weak soldiers in the hands of His Highness like an elite tiger wolf. The tiny kingdom of Antipastor was instantly trampled into powder.
Albert also got to know his father better, and the Crawford brothers informed him of his thoughts on the old Duke of Borot.
As soon as Deliot became emperor, he was resolute and resolute in rectifying the empire, and he was initially supported by Lao Bao, who even thought that the empire could be revived from this, but later Deliot's killing became heavier and stronger, and Borot felt that he had misrecognized people, regretted it, and it was too late to stop it. Albert's father really thought about the affairs of the empire, and when he had the opportunity to compete for the throne, he took the initiative to give it to the relatively young Del T.S. But who knows, it backfires.
After Albert successfully captured the kingdom of Antipastobe, the two Crawford brothers immediately advised him to contact the elves of the Danse Forest, and the two sides traded on an equal footing, and asked His Highness to promise not to cut down the forest, and if anyone in Borot violated the ban, he would be killed without mercy.
Albert complied, intent on strengthening himself, seeking an account for his father's humiliation and peace for the entire empire.
One day, several unexpected people came to ask for an audience, much to the delight of His Highness. For more information, continue next time.
