Chapter 361: The Time Has Come

Beowulf exhaled deeply and nodded vigorously: "You're right, I need to talk to Sergei again." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Roland's ears moved slightly, and he sensitively caught a trace of strangeness, and hurriedly asked, "How are you talking now?" ”

"He paid lip service to my political and religious leadership, but wanted to give the Mokesh followers some financial compensation, such as monthly benefits, preferential prices for food and meat, and the transfer of three government-run rare metal mines, mainly cold iron, to them for concessions, and Kord believers were not allowed to participate in the competition in the cold iron mining and smelting industry......

"Your lord, you didn't agree, did you?" Roland asked alertly.

"I'm still thinking about it for the time being, I originally thought it would be a good idea to spend some money to buy them into their hearts, but now it seems that doing so will only deepen the rift between the Mokesh and Kord, and people can't help but ask: Is it really fair that the guys who oppose you get the benefits, and the people who support you get nothing?"

"Indeed, this is the truth, in terms of policy, we must resolutely put an end to 'crying children have milk', which will only cause more injustice, and eventually end up in the end of betrayal and separation." As a time-traveler, Roland has an extraordinary and deep sense of this.

"Tomorrow I will ask Sergei to talk again, now that he has no cards to play, he should learn to face reality." Beowulf faintly revealed a murderous aura when he said this, which made Roland's heart sink, secretly thinking that this is a legendary powerhouse after all, after countless bloody storms, guns and arrows, he has come to this day, sitting in the position of the lord, no matter how generous and benevolent he is, he is also a man-eating lion, and he has a bloodthirsty disposition in his bones.

Beowulf rubbed his hands, the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared, and a gentle smile appeared again: "Sergei and the Mokesh followers can't afford to make much trouble, take some time to resolve the religious contradictions in the city, as you said, strengthen the national consensus of the Kitlanders, and then start cleaning up the external troubles." ”

"You mean 'War-Scourge Fortress' and 'Dragon's Eye'?"

"Yes, these two tumors entrenched on the Lucian Plateau have been sucking the blood of our Kitlanders, and they must be cut off completely!" Beowulf lowered his voice and looked solemn: "I have recently received a divine revelation from the upper plane, if I have not misunderstood my lord's revelation, that old dragon has probably left the Far East, and will not be able to withdraw and return in a short time, which is not difficult to explain why the 'Dragon's Eye' has recently uncharacteristically shrunk its sphere of influence, and the opportunity is rare, it is time to take the initiative to break the deadlock in the Northland." ”

"So you've noticed this sign too...... Roland smiled knowingly, "who do you want to do first, the Warscourge Fortress or the Dragon's Eye?" ”

"The Dragon's Eye has taken the initiative to shrink its sphere of influence and concentrate its forces to defend the area around Dragon's Castle, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, but Grande and his group of crazy Hexstoists have become more and more arrogant recently, and it is necessary to deal a blow to their arrogance." Beowulf slowly said his plan.

Roland looked up and asked him, "When are you going to move?" ”

"It depends on when your father and the Southern Kolath Legion visit the Northlands."

Roland said secretly, "As expected." With the strength of the Kitland Fortress, it is not difficult to wipe out the believers of the war, and it is difficult to take into account the defense of the city while sending troops, and beware of the "Dragon's Eye" taking the opportunity to sneak attack the fisherman to profit.

In the current situation, if the dragon king Mars does not return to the Northlands, it is unlikely that the "Dragon's Eyes" will take the initiative to provoke war, but if the Kitlanders make a move, they will never miss the opportunity. This kind of mutual containment is precisely what the believers in the scourge of war are most happy to see.

In fact, Grande and his followers have grown step by step to the scale of today's scale by taking advantage of the power vacuum formed by the "Dragon's Eye" and the Kitlander Fortress's mutual vendetta and mutual fear, so on the bright side, they neither ally with the "Dragon's Eye" nor unite with the "Kitland", and want to play this "three-legged" trick to the end, and play until they have enough strength to oppose the guest.

Considering that the Kitlanders and the Dragon's Eye are as deep as the sea, and that peace cannot be concluded without a basis of mutual trust, the only way to break the deadlock is to bring in an external force. The southern army represented by Kolas and his son is the most suitable external factor in Beowulf's eyes, so now he is more looking forward to the Kolas army moving north as soon as possible than Roland, after all, the opportunity is rare, once the dragon king returns, the current good situation will be in vain.

Roland hung his head and pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head to meet Beowulf's expectant gaze, and gave a clear answer: "I will send a letter to my father tonight to report the current urgent situation in the Northland, the most optimistic forecast...... The vanguard could reach the Lucian Plateau in early June. ”

From Icewind Dale to the Lucian Mountains, it's a long way to go. It took Roland three months to complete this difficult trip. Of course, he had too much time to delay on the road, and the army would naturally not be so delayed, but due to the poor traffic conditions, it would take a month to enter the Lucia Mountains even if he marched at full speed.

"If you want to be faster, unless you use flying or teleportation, the former is too expensive and impractical, and the latter is not cheap, you need the Nine Rings Spell Arcane." Teleportation Circle' support, each time it starts, it costs at least 25,000 gold coins worth of diamonds as casting materials, not to mention that it can only last for about ten minutes, and the longer the teleportation distance, the longer it takes, it takes a minute to teleport a person from Icewind Dale thousands of miles away, and a scroll is only a total of about ten people, and what's worse is that this kind of spell is very rare, and no one in the Koras Corps can master it at present, unless it ......" Roland paused, and then said, "I'll ask Nikita when I go back, The Lighthouse Bank may have a 'teleportation circle' scroll for sale, but if you can buy enough scrolls, you can open a teleportation circle in Icewind Dale that goes directly to the gates of Kitland, and send five hundred elite blackguards to support you first. ”

Beowulf pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "As far as I know, the 'Miracle Technique' or 'Prayer Technique' can increase the duration of the teleportation circle by ten times, and when combined with spellcasting, it can greatly reduce the teleportation cost. ”

Roland couldn't help laughing, "Lord Lord, we don't even have a 'Teleportation Circle', wouldn't it be too early to think about the 'Miracle Technique' and the 'Prayer Technique' now?" This is really a bit of "I haven't bought the lottery ticket yet, so I want to think about which bank has a high interest rate after winning the jackpot".

"That's not necessarily, you just write to General Rudolph to prepare for the troops, and I'll arrange the rest."

Roland retracted his smile and carefully observed Beowulf's expression, it didn't look like a joke, but Kitland's financial situation had just improved, where did he get the financial resources to pay for the army to teleport? On second thought, could it be that the lord's "small vault" contained a dozen "miracle" scrolls? Maybe that's right...... After all, he is a legendary powerhouse, and the voters of Kord can't underestimate people's backgrounds. (To be continued.) )
