Mosa is a little-known town in the northwest of Arubania, with only about 50 freemen living in the town, but almost all other towns have all the facilities in Mosa Town, taverns, inns, blacksmiths, shops, and even a dyeing shop. It was very unconscionable, a town of this size simply did not have enough customers to feed these shops, but Mosa was such a perverse existence, because it existed to serve the Mosa Manor, which was twenty miles away from the town.
Even the townspeople didn't know how big Mosa's Manor was, they only knew that from all sides of their town, everything they could see was within the manor's range.
Mossa Manor did not exist for a long time, but suddenly appeared more than ten years ago, because the king gave this land to the hero Adlem of Arubania, and of course the many slaves who took care of the manor, although Adlem has always been in the capital city of Basradia, but the needs of the thousands of slaves here have become a necessary service for the town.
Since his dismissal, Adham has returned to his fiefdom and lived a life where he has nothing but food and drink. Adlem was a trouble-prone man by nature, so he would never leave the manor unless he had to, so the townspeople had only had the privilege of seeing the hero once or twice so far. 【】
As a laid-back manor owner, Adelamb spent most of his days in the rocking chairs in the yard, swaying in the shade of the trees, taking naps, and then drinking almost became his compulsory course, and over time even the slaves who worked in the fields knew the rules of their masters' actions.
Of course, Adlem did not do this entirely voluntarily, because he knew in his heart that among these slaves and subordinates was the eye of His Majesty. Dicar II was not completely reassured of himself, and if he was too gloomy, full of complaints, or showed too many signs of activity, it would probably reach Dicard's ears immediately. He was naturally able to find out the identity of these fine works, but he did not do so, because even if he did, the king would definitely arrange new spies, which would only attract the king's more vigilance.
Unfortunately, even though Adelim was so complacent, things came their own.
On the afternoon of that day, a traveler visited the Mossa Manor.
Without having to move a little, Adlem knew that there was a visitor, and knew how long it would take for him to arrive, because his slave had upset him by sending him a steady stream of messages long before he arrived. He had no good feelings for the man who disturbed his peaceful life, but the slaves, who had not seen outsiders in a long time, were as excited as children. So much so that Adlem had to ask himself if he was too tolerant of them.
"Your Excellency, you're really laid-back." So said the visitor.
Adlem tore his calm and peaceful form into a body of surprise, because he heard that it was none other than his former secretary, Luke.
Luke is an ordinary-looking, featureless man, and as a soldier, his martial arts are only able to save his life in battle with ordinary people. But this thirty-five-year-old man has extraordinary insight and ability to handle affairs, and at the same time his loyalty to Adlem is obvious to all. After Adlem left office, Luke and Adlem's son Arufa came under the command of the two generals, Shurya and Abrah, and this time Luke left the front line to visit Adlem definitely not just to visit.
After arranging for Luke to sit down, and having the slaves bring the best wine from the estate, Adlem asked, "You didn't come all the way to me, didn't you just want to see me?" What's going on? ”
Luke smiled at the old elder and said, "Listening to your words, you know that you haven't done anything serious these days. If the lower official guessed correctly, you must have turned a blind eye to the world and concentrated on drinking in your comfort zone, right? ”
"I didn't expect that after leaving me, your mouth and tongue would start to develop on the evil side. Looks like Shurya gave you a pretty bad example. If you have anything to say, just say it. Adlem said with a look of disgust.
Luke replied unhurriedly: "My lord, the lower officials have come to you to be entrusted by General Shuerya to tell you three things. First, since you left, Palci has launched several attacks against us, but strangely each time they have not been very large-scale, and their goal seems to be limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place, and all of them have failed. Although the Palci army fought bravely and tenaciously in every battle, General Shurya always had unspeakable apprehension about such victories. ”
"It feels like walking on the edge of a trap and never finding its location, right?" Adeham Road.
"Yes, that's what it feels like. But no matter how much we send people to investigate, we can't find any other intentions on the other side. ”
"This matter is indeed strange, Li Tianhao is not a person who is willing to endure failure, and judging from his past examples, he is a person who likes large-scale strategies and adventurous actions, how can he be stuck in the battle for one city and one place?" Aderim stroked his beard and took a big sip from his glass.
Luke slapped his thigh and said, "You really know Li Tianhao!" The second thing is that Li Tianhao led a large number of warships to capture the port of Guimado, and our Arubanian Sea Fleet in the port was completely annihilated, most of the defenders were also killed, and almost all the rest surrendered. In addition, Li Tianhao also took these warships to constantly harass various places along the coast of the Alubania Sea. ”
When Adham heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "This kid is really ruthless, it turns out that he pointed the spearhead of the attack at the coastal area." Although these areas are not well developed and do not pose a threat to the capital, once they are lost, they become farther from our sphere of influence and closer to Palchi, and once the Sea of Arubania is completely under the control of Palchi, they become the new territory of Palchi. It's not going to be easy for us to regain control of the seas. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
