Chapter 287: Lobbyist

Soon after Duke Pankla led the remnants of the rebel army back to Xingyue City, the army of the Han and Tang Empires and the rebel army under the command of Princess Dai Baina surrounded Xingyue City and blocked all the gates of Xingyue City.

As the capital of the Star-Moon Alliance, Star-Moon City is not only the largest city in the Star-Moon Alliance, but also the most populous city in the entire Continent of the Gods.

Xingyue City was built on a plain, with a total area of nearly 200 square kilometers and a population of more than 3 million, and the outer walls built around Xingyue City are basically about 18 meters high and 9 meters wide.

Its walls were made of a rock that was so strong that it was difficult for most of the attack magic of an Rank 8 mage to destroy it.

It is precisely because of the walls of Star Moon City that Duke Pankla can grit his teeth and insist on not admitting defeat.

In the palace of Star-Moon City, the head of the Silvermoon Royal Knights, Gerde Colano, said excitedly to King Yagshan Rodfili: "Your Majesty, now Her Royal Highness the Princess has led the army and arrived outside Star-Moon City.

Do we have to do something to welcome Her Royal Highness into the city? ”

King Yagersan shook his head calmly, "We don't need to do anything now, let alone with the power we have in our hands now, we can't do anything." ”

Gelder suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, last night the commander of the garrison, Count Tezari, found his subordinates.

He said that he had been bewitched by the Duke of Pankla before, and now he hoped to remain loyal to His Majesty. ”

King Yagshan's expression was still very calm, "People always make mistakes, you tell Count Tezari, this king will forgive him." ”

"Your Majesty, we, the Silver Moon Royal Knights and the Purple Star Royal Mage Regiment, plus the 5,000 people of the Guard Regiment, can already do some things in Star-Moon City."

King Yageshan suddenly sighed, "If you continue to fight, it will be our Star and Moon Alliance that will be damaged after all."

Recently, the border area with the Totem Alliance has been a little unstable, and the beast army of the Totem Alliance has made frequent moves, and it is best to end this farce made by Pankla as soon as possible.

Moreover, Xingyue City is the capital of our Xingyue Alliance, and this king does not want Xingyue City to accept the baptism of war in the hands of this king.

You go and send someone to invite the Marquis Ounido Rodphili into the palace. ”

Marquis Onedo Rodphili is the uncle of King Yagersan and Duke Pankla, and the president of the Royal Presbyterian Church of the Star-Moon Alliance.

Although the royal elders of the Star-Moon Alliance do not control much power, they have a very high prestige among the nobles of the Star-Moon Alliance.

When the head of the Silvermoon Royal Knights, Gerde Colano, heard that the king was going to summon Marquis Onedo Rodhfili to the palace, it was obvious that he was preparing to let Marquis Onido Rodhfili act as a peacemaker.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take this opportunity to settle the matter of Duke Pankla once and for all?"

"Alasβ€”after all, this king only has this one brother, not to mention that this king promised his father to ensure that Pankla's life is safe and sound."

"But what Duke Pankra has done has become rebellious, and his subordinates are worried that even if this incident can be calmed down, I'm afraid Duke Pankra will not be reconciled."

"Of course, Pankra will not be reconciled, but there are some things that will not be decided by his will.

When the Marquis of Ounido Rodphili arrives, the king will discuss a satisfactory solution with the Marquis of Ounido Rodfili. ”

Outside Xingyue City, in a tent in the camp of the rebel army, Sun Huimin, the commander of the 45th Garrison Division of the Luoshan Military Region of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, saluted Princess Dai Bona, "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you need our Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires to continue to attack Xingyue City?" ”

After Fengshou Town defeated the main force of the counterinsurgency, Sun Huimin, as the commander, suddenly felt a little unhappy.

The main thing is that the enemy facing is a little weak, and it is just a burst of artillery fire, and it directly collapses.

The following pursuit process did not have any waves at all, basically receiving surrendered prisoners of war all the way.

The war mode of the two world armies is not on the same channel at all, and the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, which is almost armed to the teeth, can only be described as crushing in the face of an army dominated by cold weapons.

Even the magicians of this world did not cause any trouble to the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires on the battlefield.

Sun Huimin thinks that this kind of battle is like an adult bullying a child, and he can't show how good his command is, and it seems that if he wants to perform, he has to go to the battlefield on the Western Continent.

Princess Dai Bona looked at Sun Huimin at this time, and her mood couldn't help but be a little complicated.

Thanks to the army of the Han and Tang Empires, the army of the Duke of Pankla was directly defeated.

The army of the Han and Tang Empires then handed over all the approximately 170,000 prisoners of war captured to the private soldiers under the command of Princess Dai Bona and the 30,000 troops of the Guards Legion.

Together with the 60,000 prisoners of war captured by Princess Deberna, it is a full 230,000 prisoners of war.

Many of these prisoners of war are officers and soldiers of the Guards Legion, and they are enemies of Princess Dai Bona, and it is only because of military orders that Princess Dai Bona has begun to send people to collect the officers and soldiers of these Guards Legion.

It can be said that the army of the Han and Tang Empires has done Princess Dai a great favor again.

However, Princess Dai Bona was even more afraid of the army of the Han and Tang Empires at this time, and even more fearful.

Once the emperor of the Han and Tang Empires had a peep at the Star Moon Alliance, and even the entire Continent of the Gods, Princess Dai Bona was a little afraid to imagine such a scene.

Princess Dai Bona smiled slightly, "General Sun, if you can defeat the army of Duke Pankla, the army led by General Sun can be regarded as the first merit."

After entering Star-Moon City, I will definitely let my father reward General Sun heavily. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the reward will be waived.

Do we need the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires to continue to attack Xingyue City next? Sun Huimin asked again.

Princess Dai Bona pondered for a moment and said, "General Sun, Star-Moon City, as the capital of our Star-Moon Alliance, has a population of more than 3 million.

In order to minimize civilian casualties, I hope that a negotiated solution can be reached. ”

Sun Huimin nodded absently, "In that case, I'll go back to the barracks first."

If Her Royal Highness the Princess needs us to do anything from the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, please do not hesitate to tell us. ”

Sun Huimin was so polite to Princess Dai Baina because Sun Huimin felt that this beautiful and foul princess of the Star and Moon Alliance was likely to become one of the concubines in the harem of the Han and Tang Empires.

In the Duke's Mansion in Star-Moon City, Marquis Tanilla Blackcack, the deputy commander of the Guards, announced to Duke Pankla, "Duke, Marquis Onedo Rodphili is here.

Marquis Onedo Rodhfili was summoned to the palace by His Majesty the King. ”

Duke Pankla frowned, "Could it be that you're here to be a lobbyist?" ”

Tanilla Blackak hesitated for a moment and said, "Duke, Count Tezari, the commander of the garrison, seems to have fallen to His Majesty's side again. ”

When Duke Pankla heard this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Capricious villain, when the rebels outside the city are resolved, Duke Ben will clean him up!"

Bring Marquis Onedo Rodefili here! ”

Marquis Onedo Rodefili is 63 years old this year, and because he is a seventh-level warrior, his body is very tough, and he looks like he is about 50 years old.

"Uncle Onedo, you didn't come to be a lobbyist for my eldest brother today, did you?" Duke Pankla asked angrily.

Marquis Onedo sighed and said, "Pankla, why bother?

You are all descendants of the Rodfili family, and you are brothers, is the throne really that important? ”

"Uncle Onedo, it seems that you and my father fought for the throne back then, and there was a lot of turmoil."

Marquis Onedo smiled a little embarrassedly, "At that time, I was young and vigorous, in fact, what is good about being a king, I work hard every day, and I can never finish handling government affairs."

Look at your father, and your brother, who is tired. ”

Duke Pankla pursed his lips, "My eldest brother's body has become what it is now because of the assassination a few years ago.

I thought to myself that I was in good health, and I was very willing to take on the government affairs that I would never finish.

What's more, my father had promised me that he would pass on the throne to me, if it wasn't for my eldest brother killing the king, the king's throne, what would be his! ”

When the Marquis Onedo heard this, he hurriedly said: "Pankla, I vouch for your personality that the death of your father back then had absolutely nothing to do with His Majesty the King. ”

"You vouch for your personality? Uncle Onedo, I don't think your personality is noble. ”

Marquis Onedo's eyes widened, "Pankla, you speak to me well, no matter how I am, I am also your own uncle, I am here for your own good."

Haven't you seen how powerful the Alternate Plane Army is that girl from Grace Deborna? ”

Hearing Marquis Onedo mention the army of the Han and Tang Empires, Duke Pankra was actually very uneasy in his heart, but Duke Pankla still said strongly: "With the city defense fortifications of Star-Moon City, I don't believe that those armies of different time and space can still grow wings and fly into Star-Moon City!"

Duke Ben doesn't mind, command a battle to defend Star-Moon City! ”

When the Marquis of Onedo saw Pankla, who was not ready to enter the oil and salt, he wanted to kick it over, but this was Pankla's mansion, and if he really dared to kick Pankla, with Pankla's temper, he would definitely make his guards beat him up.

The Marquis of Onedo then said helplessly: "Pankla, I have indeed come to consult with you on behalf of His Majesty the King on how to end this farce. ”

"Farce? Duke Ben did not consider this a farce.

But it's easy to get an end to this, and ask my eldest brother to give me the throne immediately, or canonize me as the first heir to the next king. ”

"Pankla, this is impossible, our Star and Moon Alliance already has the first heir of the next king."

"Then there's nothing to talk about, Uncle Ounido, and I won't leave you for dinner."

Marquis Onedo suddenly said in a deep voice: "Pankla, if you really want to go your own way, then in the name of the Council of Elders, I will recruit the Eastern Legion, the Southern Legion, the Western Legion and the Northern Legion to come to Starmoon City to quell the rebellion.

Presumably, the four dukes should give the Council of Elders a face. ”

"Uncle Onedo, are you threatening me?" Duke Pankla said in a grim tone.

"I don't want your greed to shake the foundation of our Star and Moon Alliance, and even our Rodphili family."

Duke Pankla grimaced and was silent for a while before asking, "What does my eldest brother want?" ”

When Marquis Onedo heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Pankla, His Majesty only asks you to hand over the military power of the Guards Legion and step down as the commander of the Guards Legion. ”

The Duke of Pankla asked with some surprise, "Nothing else?" ”

Marquis Onedo hurriedly said: "Pankla, His Majesty promises that he will not hold anyone accountable for this matter, and in order to compensate you, His Majesty has also decided to take back the county of Dai Bona and directly annex it to your dukedom. ”

"What? My eldest brother is going to give me the earl of that girl from Deberna? Duke Pankla asked incredulously.

Marquis Onedo nodded, "His Majesty is going to let that young master of the Davides family marry that girl from Dai Bona after this matter is resolved."

The county of the girl is considered the direct domain of our Rodphili family, and it is impossible to transfer it to the Davides family as a dowry, which is something that our Presbyterian Church has discussed with His Majesty the King before. ”

"But why did my eldest brother give me that county?"

"Pankla, think about it, how His Majesty has treated you for so many years!

For hundreds of years, our Star and Moon Alliance has only had four major dukes, but His Majesty the King has tried his best to canonize you as a duke, to be honest, I am a little jealous of you.

And how many things have you done against His Majesty the King over the years, His Majesty was assassinated a few years ago, if it weren't for His Majesty the King's assurances to the Four Dukes and the Council of Elders, the real culprit behind the scenes is definitely not you, you would have been imprisoned a long time ago. ”

"The assassination has nothing to do with me.

I'm not like my eldest brother, who can even kill my relatives for the sake of the throne.

Even when I dealt with the girl Dai Bona before, I asked that she must not be hurt! ”

In the palace of Star-Moon City, the leader of the Silvermoon Royal Knights, Gerde Colano, asked King Yagshan in confusion, "Your Majesty, why did you hand over the countdom of Her Royal Highness the Princess to the Duke of Pankra?"

If you add the countdom of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the duchess of the Duke of Pankla, it will have a full 400,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 15 million.

Coupled with the fact that these areas are relatively rich, even if the Duke of Pankra hands over the military power of the Guards, he can use the duke's finances to raise hundreds of thousands of troops. ”

After King Yage Mountain coughed violently a few times, he said slowly: "This king's body should not last long.

Although Pankra has always been dissatisfied with me, he is a member of the Rodphili family after all, and with Pankla, some people can settle down a little. ”
