Section 43 The Partition of the Empire

By the time Butz sent someone to deliver the news of Kevin's breakout to Bill, Anthony and Morton had already switched swords and continued to duel, and the two were almost very close in strength, and after a few hours, they were still deadlocked.

When Bill learned about the West Gate, he immediately signaled to Lambert beside him, asking him to gather the Knights outside the city and chase after Kevin, who had escaped.

After seeing the movement of Bill's team, Warkas knew that something was wrong, and immediately said, "Okay, there is no point in continuing this duel. Since Prince Whitt can't tolerate my Wakas, I don't need to entangle with you here, it's a big deal that my Wakas will go. ”

At this time, the two stopped the duel and withdrew from their own team. Seeing that Morton was so tenacious, Wybart felt that he had the upper hand, and even said: "What do you think I am in Visa, you can come and go as you want?" That's such a good thing. ”

After hearing this, Wakas was extremely angry, and he pointed at Wybat and reprimanded: "Little Wybat, don't think that I, Wakath, am afraid of you and provoke me, it's a big deal to fight with you, I don't believe that I can't kill you with a prince knight." ”

Warkass's words are explicit and true. If the entire Knights were to kill with only one target, the incompetent Waibat would probably not be able to survive. However, Whibart didn't understand this, and he felt that his trusted group of leaders was very powerful, but he didn't consider that the knight army under their command were all newcomers, and they had no chance of winning against the black knights of the Crusade Legion.

Before Whitat could speak, Bill immediately stopped him and whispered, "Your Royal Highness, don't anger Prince Wakas. Once their Crusade Legion moves, I'm afraid that our entire Visa will be in danger, and we, the newly recruited Black Knights, will not be their opponents at all. ”

Hearing Bill say this, Whitart hurriedly turned his head to look at Tony.

Tony was very shrewd, he naturally knew the disparity in strength between the two sides, and he also persuaded Bill together: "Your Royal Highness, the commander is right, even if Vinny's garrison knights are added, we may not be their opponents." Since Warkas has agreed to leave the Empire, let them go first, and then go and clean him up when our army is ready. ”

Although Whitart was very unconvinced, Tony's tone was very serious, and he had to nod silently and said, "Okay, it's all up to the commander-in-chief's arrangement." ”

Seeing that Waibart had agreed, Bill rode out of the column and said to Waqas on the other side, "Your Royal Highness can't bear to kill our kind, so let's bypass you thieves for the time being. As long as you don't make trouble in the Empire and promise to leave the Empire, I can guarantee that no army will stop you. ”

Wakas said coldly: "Who is a thief, you Bill really can't tell the difference." At this point, there is no point in explaining it. The split of our empire seems inevitable, but I hope that you will recognize the situation and not stab us in the back and prevent us from conquering the Knights. ”

Bill shook his head and replied, "I'm just a commander loyal to the Empire, and I can't make any guarantees about the future, so you can do it yourself." ”

Warkas looked at Bill in a daze, then he turned his horse's head, and without saying a word, withdrew with the knights towards the east gate.

On this snowy day, the division of the Tupis Empire could not be stopped, and the large city of Nado, which was also the domain of Prince Wakas, began to withdraw en masse. Within the territory of the Tubes Empire, there were three largest and richest territories, namely Sandu, Nado, and Monchi. Warkas was once a legend of the Tubis Empire, and has made countless great achievements in the empire, especially in Warkass's own territory, where the people only know Warkas but do not care about the king of the empire and Prince Wybat.

With the collective evacuation of Nado and Marton, countless nobles and herdsmen drove their wagons and herds of cattle, horses, and sheep to the east in the ice and snow, and finally all the troops turned against the army of Wakas stationed in Wancheng.

Wancheng is also one of the three major territories of Wakas, where Warkas mobilized the people to withdraw and entered the Luo Khan on the east side with Wakas.

The great retreat of Nado, Marton, and Wancheng cost the empire nearly a third of its people and livestock. These perennial populace and nobles who inhabit the steppe followed Vacas to the new Knight land, Luo Khan.

Of the Knight occupations on the eastern side, Luo Khan was the only one who was most suitable for the resettlement of these populace and nobles. In Luo Khan, there is the Yuguan Fortress in the east and the Western Fortress of Luo Khan in the west, and Warkas plans to make this his base camp and continue the mission of the empire with his own strength.

After returning to the territory occupied by Knight, Warkas began to further shrink his forces, completely abandoning the territory of Cobilon and focusing on the two major fortresses of Luo Khan. With the subsequent migration of the Tubis people who admired Huaqas, Luo Khan's Tubis people reached nearly 3 million, which was the largest human migration in the history of the mainland.

With these three million people, Warkas had a basis for his own struggle to become king. Although the Tubisi people who had just arrived in Luo Khan were more miserable and everything needed to be resettled, it was at least a way out for Warkass.

The largest resource in Warkass's hands is in the territory of Vakas, where Varkas can get sufficient food supplies, plus there is no need to import supplies to the empire, and the migrated herdsmen have brought enough cattle, sheep and horses to Wakas, so that Warkas can be self-sufficient in all supplies.

As spring came, Varkas himself rushed to the northern fortress to begin negotiations with Caldis on a new agreement.

This meeting made the two sides much less hostile, and as soon as Warkas took his seat, he said to Caldis mockingly: "Hey, I didn't expect that I, Warkass, would also end up in the same fate as you, Lord Lord, and was also abandoned by our empire. ”

Caldis didn't speak, but Miller said with a smile: "The prince has dedicated his life to your empire, and I didn't expect your empire to treat you like this in the end." ”

After hearing this, Wakas's face showed countless sadness, and he said with emotion: "Everything is the fault of power, I knew that Wybat was such a person, I didn't need to spend so much effort to redeem him from your hands in the first place." ”

Cook was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, I'll just say that the captive is different, it turns out that that person is your prince Wybat." ”

At this time, Miller pouted and said, "What do you think, if it weren't for him, how could the prince be so aggressive." ”

Wakas Lian Lian shook his hand and sighed: "Forget it, don't mention this thief and rebellious guy." I won't talk about going around in circles, I came this time for trade and trafficking, and I hope that your northern kingdom can maintain permanent trade relations with our Luo Khan in the following days, and import more food and cloth for our Luo Khan. Of course, trade needs to be of equal value, and in the future, things like horses and leathers will also be open to your northern kingdom. ”

"That's great." Miller looked very excited when he heard this, and he replied, "I lack nothing but horses and leather." ”

Varkas glanced at Miller and quipped, "Why, aren't these things taboo now?" Are you planning to start forming a Knights? ”

Miller looked at Caldis with a smile, and when he was excited, he realized that he seemed to have slipped his mouth.

Only then did Caldis speak: "As an independent territory, if you want to settle down here for a long time, you still have to have the necessary defensive army, and it is definitely not enough to rely on a northern fortress alone. We are not yet equipped to assemble an army of knights, but sooner or later we will have to start working on it, so we must prepare the horses and leathers first. ”

Vacas said lightly: "Dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat." Although I know that you have no ambitions in the north in order to provide a happy land for the people, in this era of the jungle, you will either die or I will die. So you still don't take it lightly, I hope you can pay the same attention to the formation of the Knights as I do, after all, there is no decent army, once the war breaks out, we can only sit and wait to be eaten by others. ”

Caldis smiled and said, "Judging from the current situation, the fate of the prince is really similar to ours. Your Luo Khan is in an awkward position, and may face attacks from the east and west at any time, if one day the prince and your herdsmen are forced to have no way out, my northern kingdom can provide a safe place for the prince and the herdsmen. ”

As soon as these words came out, the heads of the regiments and civil officials of the northern kingdom were shocked and at a loss.

Warkas was in a complicated mood, he didn't pay attention to the expressions of the other people in the north, just raised his head slightly and sighed: "Hey, who said it wasn't, maybe one day I, Warkass, will come to you, and then your friends in the north won't hold a grudge and refuse to take me in, right?" ”

When Miller heard this, he eased up slightly, shook his head again and again, and said, "How come, in the past, we were each our own master, and each was loyal to our kingdom. Now that we are all degenerate, we should help each other at this time and at that time. ”

After hearing this, Vacas smiled slightly, and his smile was full of vicissitudes. Then he got up and said, "Okay, the matter of trade is settled, and we will exchange whatever we have, without reservation." There are still a lot of things going on over there in Luo Khan, so I won't stay much longer, all friends from the north, take care, and we will have a good drink together next time. ”

With Wakas's farewell, Caldis led the people of the northern kingdom down the fortress tower, and sent Warkas out of the city gates.

Looking at the back of Warkas and his guards leaving, Miller turned his head sideways and asked Caldis in a low voice, "My lord, if one day in the future, Warkas really comes to us, do we really want to take them in?" ”

Caldis replied: "As long as they are willing to accept the arrangements of our northern country and abide by the laws of our northern country, everyone is also a refugee in distress, so why not?" Isn't there still nearly a thousand Tubisi people living in our Fengdu territory? ”

Cook immediately added, "yes, don't you see those Tubith slaves staying well now." They have all learned to farm, and they are more diligent than us Knight people. ”

Miller nodded happily and sighed casually, "yes." We have few people in the north, and our power is also thin, so it's always a good thing to have more people. Who can say what it will be like in the future? Whether it's a blessing or a curse can't be avoided, if it comes, it's safe, and then we will talk about it. ”

Cook was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "What do you mean, Miller?" You don't seem to be willing to accept Warkass. ”

Miller glanced at Cook and said dismissively; "What, it's too early to talk about it. This Waqas was very shrewd, and now he had in his hands about three million Tubis, and the granary of Widun. In this world, he has the most comprehensive resources in the hands of Vaqas, who can compare with him, how do you know that he will definitely not be able to get along? ”

After hearing this, Caldis replied: "We don't need to guess what he can be like in Luo Khan. In short, we take care of our own affairs in the north, the outside world has nothing to do with us, we have neither the leisure to care, nor the strength to interfere. ”

After hearing this, everyone laughed happily.

In the northern road, Kevin, who accompanied Varkas on his trip, asked Varkas and said, "Your Excellency, there are several noble families on the Beisan side who also want to join us, but they have to pass through the Vesa Territory on the way over, which is not easy to do. ”

Varkas said with a smile: "Hey, it seems that my old face of Varkas still has some popularity." Go back and make arrangements, secretly go to Beisan, and organize them to travel as much as possible at night to avoid Visa's patrol team. Pull as many people as you can, don't miss a single one, we Luo Khan urgently need the population, the more the merrier. ”

Kevin asked again, "Also, whether our new army of knights will start recruiting, once Dragon City and the Nila people start a war again, it is not a way to have no soldiers." ”

Warkas sighed, "Yes, the recruitment of the new army must also be carried out simultaneously. There's so much we have to do, and there's so much to do. ”

In the years that followed, Warkas struggled to govern the Lockan Domain, and he worked hard to build a second Tubis Empire in the Knights' Lockan Territory. However, Wakas did not call himself king, and still used the title of prince to express his loyalty to the empire, not the one who seized power as Wybat said.

After the division of the Tubith Empire, Warkas controlled almost all of the regular main army of the empire, with one-third of the empire's population, and controlled the largest granary in the Knight Plains, Vitun, and began to rapidly continue the legend of Warkas in the land of Knight.

With the continuous training of a group of new armies such as Bill, the combat effectiveness of the large armies within the empire began to become stronger and stronger.

But without the import of food, the people of the Tubis Empire are now living in misery, the empire is in danger, and Visa is beginning to brew another bloody storm.
