After many days, Libera finally ushered in good news. After cooperating with Brudasmo, the search for Gilmus, the widow of the royal brother Aiyuka, progressed much faster, and under the arrangement of Brudasmore, the Shadow Brotherhood sent Locke, an expert known for his intelligence, to bring Gilmus's mother and son safely to the Count of Libera's mansion.

After arranging the remaining orthodox bloodline of the Yaqui royal family, Libera finally breathed a sigh of relief - even if Kade Monro really couldn't give birth to the orthodox bloodline of Yaqui, the Yaqui royal family would at least not be cut off. Although the four-year-old Gilmus did not yet see what he would become, his physical qualities seemed to have been completely inherited from his father Ayuka, and it seemed that he would definitely be a brave man in the future. Libera believed that under good instruction, Arqui would usher in a wise monarch.

The next question is how to survive the current crisis, and in the current situation, even if the forces of the priests are united, the strength of Cad Monroe is still far inferior to the strength of Palci's army, and it will not be easy to maintain the situation in the war. To this end, Libera racked her brains and tried her tongue to finally break through the obstacles of Andrasius and obtain the power to recruit volunteers from the people from King Cad Monro.

Although the combat ability and equipment level of the Volunteer Army is far inferior to that of the regular army, it can better solve the current financial embarrassment of Yaqi, the military expenses, equipment, and food of the Volunteer Army are all raised by themselves, it can be said that the army is completely convened by the personal charm of the leader, and in this regard, there is no more appealing figure than Libera in Yaqi. In order to feed more volunteers, Libera not only asked the king for a piece of arable land for military supplies, but also contributed all his fiefdoms, which were used by the soldiers to train while cultivating in the fields. It should be able to support about 7,000 people. It's not a lot, but it's already the best strategy of all the options.

Of course, all of this does not come without a price. On the contrary. Andrasius made a proposal to continue to hire Frankish mercenaries to fight, and gained control of the mercenaries. Libera wasn't very worried about this. Because the financially stretched kingdom of Yaki simply cannot afford to hire large-scale mercenaries, unless His Majesty has the allegiance of the princes from all over the country, it will be possible to deploy the financial resources in a unified manner. If Andrasius could really do this, then Libera wouldn't need to bother so much at all, anyway, the command of the army would still fall on his head in the end.

At the same time as he began to recruit volunteers, Libera also began to look for elite members of the army - a large number of generals were killed in battle, and there was a shortage of middle and senior commanders in the Yaggy army, and an army with brains but no limbs could not function even if it was large. The lack of talent is actually more prominent than the lack of the army, and as the princes support their own troops, those military attachés with experience in leading troops are becoming more and more popular. The princes' efforts to recruit these talents made it more difficult for Libera to collect them, and the only thing he was pleased with was Zelda's arrival.

As the son of Ulysses, a respected veteran general in Aquid, Zelda had some appeal in Aqui, and his participation played an obvious role in the recruitment of the Volunteers; Coupled with the fact that talent is now withering, Zelda's joining can undoubtedly greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Yaji Army. Libera had her own worries about Zelda's arrival, and as the only descendant of Ulysses, she had no intention of letting him venture into the battlefield again.

Zelda's answer to this is clear. First of all, he has received news from his eldest brother Qusay, since the eldest brother is still alive, then he is not the only hope for the Ulysses family; Secondly, he has been married and had children in the past few years. You can continue to serve your country; Third, he has trained hard for many years, and trained a group of dead soldiers, if he does not serve the royal family when the country is in danger. Then everything done was in vain.

Seeing that Zelda's determination was made, Libera no longer objected. After all, although Zelda's subordinates are small, they are all shrewd and capable samurai, and as long as they accumulate actual combat experience, they can become the backbone of the Yaji army. It's really rewarding to have these people on board. As a result, Libera appointed Serda as his deputy, and together they took on the burden of recruiting and training volunteers. Zelda gladly accepted. The conscientious work every day has relieved Libera of a lot of burdens.

At this time, Vulture also brought back the promise of the chief high priest Figor that the priest army would serve His Majesty the king. This is great news for Libera. The Priest Army was once weakened under the division and suppression of Kadir, but its size still numbered in the tens of thousands, and his morale was still high, and the addition of this army could greatly strengthen the authority of Kade Monro, and it would form a certain deterrent ability for the princes, perhaps thus reinvigorating the authority of the royal family and integrating the power of Yaki again.

Just as things began to take a turn for the better, news came that shocked the court of Arqui - the port of Maranster had been attacked by Palci and fallen, and the head of the governor Corbius was hung on the head of the port of Maranster!

The reason why the fall of Maranster Port will shock the Yaki government and the opposition is mainly because Maranster Port is an important port for Yakee to trade with the Eastern countries, and it is also the base of Yaqi's fleet in the Narrow Sea. Another surprise is that Palci's sneak attack, a long-distance attack on a port to cut off maritime trade, may have some strategic significance, but it is completely disproportionate to the risk it needs to take, why would Palch suddenly attack the port of Maranster at this time? And Li Tianhao personally led the troops? The irrationality of this made the raid seem confusing and elusive.

"Maybe it's going to be an opportunity." Libera touched her beard and muttered.

When the eagle on the side heard his words, his eyes rolled and he said, "Lord Earl means that we can cut off Li Tianhao's retreat?" ”

"That's right, this time he used tens of thousands of troops to attack Port Maranster from the small road, which means that there is no him in Palchi at the moment, if we can cut off his way back, then he can only return to Portsmo by sea to return to Palchi, taking advantage of this time difference and Palchi's command confusion, we may be able to regain some advantage."

"Great, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!" Zelda said happily.

"Well, perhaps, it's worth the risk." Vultures said slowly, his brow furrowed into a lump. (To be continued.) )
