After the ceremony, Robitt and Cook and others left the Duke's Palace angrily, and only Miller was in a more calm mood.

Back at the residence, Cook scolded: "What a bullshit prince, save his life and reward a duke, and don't look at who the other party is." ”

Robit was also a little angry, and he said very unhappily: "In the past, everyone thought that King Furyk was relatively mediocre. Now it seems that this Railton is not as good as King Furyk, too young to do things so impulsively. ”

Miller smiled and said, "Count, the kingdom belongs to his royal family, how he rewards is their freedom, he Relton wants to completely destroy our knight, what can we do." ”

Although Miller's mood was calmer, his dissatisfaction with this practice was also evident in his words. After all, the dukedom of the kingdom is high, and in his own territory it is like a prince, and even the king cannot interfere in the affairs of his territory. Such a hasty award to a barbarian shows that Railton's approach is simply vexatious, making fun of the entire Knights.

Even Rossabar and Derain were very dissatisfied, and the two of them were silent and silent, and they were so angry that they choked.

Cook sighed again and said, "Hey, I thought that coming to Dragon City with my brothers would make a difference in Dragon City." If this is the case, we at Knight may have little hope. ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" , Miller was a little angry at this time: "That Thatcher is also the second eldest duke, how could he mess around with His Royal Highness the Prince, and cut off part of his fief to Haba." ”

Robit sneered: "Needless to say, Thatcher did this purely to curry favor with His Royal Highness, so that he could suppress the dukes of Cologne, Mozart, Odosa, and Quart, and become the number one minister in our current Knight world." It's no wonder that he has always shirked and disapproved of my succession to the first duke, it turns out that I am also a stumbling block to his power. ”

Cook continued to sigh: "Hey, there's no hope in Dragon City, it's really not good, let's go to the Northland, at least there's my uncle-in-law William there." ”

"Northland?" , Miller frowned and said, "Cook, don't you know yet?" When you went to rescue Seoul, Prince Vacas fought fiercely against the Knights of Fengdu, and your uncle-in-law William died with the Knights of Fengdu. ”

"What?" , Cook was shocked when he heard this.

At this time, a guard hurriedly ran into the room and reported anxiously: "It's a big deal, the barbarian Borda led their Sixth Knights to attack the northern fortress, they slaughtered in the Fengdu territory for five days and five nights, and now the northern country is in ruins, not even a chicken and a dog have survived." ”

The news came by coincidence, so coincidentally that there was nothing to say, which made Cook's tears flow uncontrollably.

Robit was stunned, and he muttered to himself, "The Northern Holy Land is gone?" No, it won't, right? This, what's going on in this world, how is it chaotic like this? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bell rang in the direction of the Duke of Longcheng's Mansion, which was an assembly order that represented that something big had happened to the kingdom. It seems that the news of the massacre of the Holy Land of the Northern Kingdom has reached the Duke's Palace, and the situation is somewhat urgent, and the situation of the Knights has become extremely critical.

Everyone returned to the Duke's Mansion in Dragon City, listening to Thatcher standing on the steps and crying miserably: "God bless me Knight, is it true that the end of our Nate has come?" O great god of war, have you seen the despair of your people? Where have you gone, O gods of Knight, how can you allow these abominable barbarians to spoil our holy land so much. ”

After saying that, Thatcher was so sad and angry that she couldn't help but fall to her knees and cry.

Cologne stood in front of the crowd, looking up at the grief-stricken Thatcher on the steps, and the anger in his heart made him can't help but say loudly: "These barbarians who have been killed by heaven will sooner or later get their due retribution." ”

After saying that, Cologne turned to Odosa and Spart, and said: "You must remember today's shame, it is a bloody shame, and no matter what, we cannot tolerate the barbarians in the land of my net. ”

The righteous Spat was furious, and he strode up a few steps, then turned and shouted at everyone, "The barbarians are going to kill us, and we must have no illusions about them. Right now, our Knight world is in tatters, and everyone is defending one side and taking turns to be broken, and this is not the way to go. I hope that everyone will recognize the facts, act sooner, gather together under the Prince's command, and gather all our forces to fight the barbarians to the end. ”

Cologne was a little dazed when he heard this, and he frowned and asked his son, "Spartt, make it clear, how are you going to gather?" ”

Spat said calmly: "How else can we gather, all the nobles should immediately rush back to their territory, mobilize all the people in the territory, and gather all the materials and knights in the territory to Dragon City, and now only Dragon City is our only hope." ”

"That's not going to work!" Cologne objected, saying, "We have a large population, and if we move all the people to Dragon City, we will all starve to death here before the barbarians come." ”

Miller couldn't help but crowd out of the crowd, came to Spart's side, and said loudly to everyone: "Lord Cologne is right, there are enough refugees in the Dragon City territory right now, and the shortage of food is not something that can be solved in a day or two. It is hoped that the major nobles can return to their territories and provide food for Dragon City to settle the refugees, and the people of each territory can transfer some of them first, but they still have to rely on some of the people to produce food in their territories to help Dragon City. After Dragon City settles down everyone, each territory will transfer the people in batches, so that it is feasible. ”

Cologne nodded, and he turned to everyone and said, "Okay, this young man is right, and I agree with it." ”

Thatcher was so grieved that he couldn't speak, and Prince Railton had to come out and declare: "Miller's suggestion is good. Ladies and gentlemen, please rush back to their respective territories immediately, settle their people as soon as possible, and appropriately transfer some of the people to Dragon City, but ensure the production of materials in the territory. In addition, please recall the knights of your territory, be fully prepared, and mobilize all of them to Dragon City in winter, when the time comes, I will host a knight competition in Dragon City to build up our new kingdom's knight army. ”

When they heard that they were going to hold a knight competition, everyone was full of enthusiasm, because the knight competition is the first step to becoming famous in the world, and with the knight competition, everyone can show their talents, which is the best way for the nobles to compete for power.

Prince Railton understands this very well, and in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, he deliberately planned and arranged it this way, so as to strengthen the cohesion of the Knight people, and secondly, to build more kingdom armies for himself after taking power.

The prince's move in the morning disgusted all the nobles, but this time the decision was supported and approved by everyone.

That night, the nobles mounted their horses and set off, and rushed back to the territory overnight to prepare.

Haba, on the other hand, was left alone by Prince Railton to consult privately with Thatcher and Basel in the hall of the Duke's palace.

Prince Railton had high expectations for Haba, and he asked Haba and said, "Lord Haba, the current situation is more serious, and according to your understanding of the Tubis Empire, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Haba had always been silent, and he had never been involved in Nate's national affairs, and when suddenly the prince asked him such a question, he could not answer for a while.

Thatcher smiled and said, "Lord Haba is a powerful and rare hero among young people, and I ask Duke Haba to serve the kingdom and not let down His Royal Highness the Prince's hard work for you." ”

Haba looked at Thatcher, he didn't have any ideas for a while, he just made a suggestion from the side of the Knights: "I don't have a good idea of national affairs for the time being, but if His Royal Highness wants to form a knights, personnel and weapons are not a problem, but the resources of this horse will be a little troublesome." ”

Thatcher nodded again and again and replied, "Well, Lord Haba hit the nail on the head and got to the point. In the past, the horses of our kingdom were provided by the territory of Wutuo. Now the barbarians have taken over the royal capital, Widton, Reesburg, and Cobillon, and have completely severed our ties with the territory of Uto. According to credible sources, Uto's Asaido has been in secret contact with the Barbarians, and this damn Asaydo may have wanted to surrender to the Barbarians. Without Wu Tuo, it is equivalent to cutting off the supply of horses to our knights, and without horses, our army can only fight on foot, and we cannot form a decent knight order. ”

Basel frowned and asked: "Isn't Cologne's sunny water port also able to sell horses from the ocean, can we let Cologne arrange to expand the import of horses in the port?" ”

Thatcher sighed and said, "Forget it, there are only so many horses, and most of them are inferior horses, and it is difficult to get together a hundred war horses a month." ”

Railton nodded slightly, and the wise young man suddenly thought of a countermeasure, and he asked everyone: "In the past, Miller used to be engaged in merchant trading in the royal capital, let's talk about it, if we let Miller go to Tubis for a trip, we can import a large number of war horses for our Dragon City, even if we can get five thousand." Is this possible? ”

"Miller?" Thatcher frowned and asked, "Is he okay?" Are people reliable? ”

Railton smiled and said, "When it comes to the traders' business, Miller has absolutely no problem, and he has supplied a large part of the wine and flour in the royal capital over the years. Character, there should be no problem, Miller used to often distribute food to the hungry, and he was by no means a greedy person. ”

"Oh!" Thatcher nodded repeatedly. But he frowned again and asked, "But now the barbarians are very strict with the trade in horses, especially to us Knight, and they do not allow a horse to be sold to us. If Miller is asked to go to Tubis to do this, it is likely that there will be no return, and the difficulty is too high. ”

Railton looked very calm, and he said slowly: "If we Nate want to survive, we must accomplish those seemingly impossible things, and we will not be able to drive out those hateful barbarians without creating some miracles. Miller had been favored by Duke Connor in the past, and I believe that with Duke Connor's eyes, he would never lose his eyes. I'm confident in this Miller that he should have the means to do it. ”

Thatcher patted his thigh and said, "Okay, since His Royal Highness the Prince thinks it is feasible, then we will arrange for Miller to go to Tubis for a trip." ”

Railton nodded, and continued to say to Haba: "Duke Haba, when you first arrived at our Knight, you enjoyed the highest honor of our Knights, and most of these people are dissatisfied with you. So then you have to perform well, you have to do something. ”

Haba bowed his head and replied, "Your Royal Highness, I Haba was originally a Knight, but when I was young, I was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Tubis. I feel very lucky to be able to return to my homeland and the embrace of my people. Please instruct Your Highness the Prince, I will do my best in anything, and I will never let your Highness down. ”

"That's great!" After hearing this, Railton was overjoyed, he got up and said happily: "Didn't I give you a large piece of Dragon City land?" There are too many refugees gathered in our Dragon City territory, and the food consumed every day is very fast, so Dragon City will soon be emptied. ”

After hearing this, Thatcher immediately added: "What His Royal Highness the Prince said is yes, if this continues, I am afraid that our Dragon City reserves will not last until next spring." Although the nobles have returned to their territories to gather supplies today, they can't keep so many refugees empty like this. ”

Railton nodded and said, "Yes." So I now entrust you with an important task, your territory itself is worthless, nothing more than an overgrown wasteland. I want you to take all the refugees in Dragon City to your territory, and then take them to reclaim the wasteland, and help me settle the refugees. When it comes to food, Dragon City and the other territories will have your back, and hopefully you'll be able to take them through next summer's harvest. ”
