Chapter 861: Consolidating the King's Power

Mordrak saw that Ji Ran didn't like these exquisite jewelry, and felt very sorry in his heart, but he carefully selected it and planned to give it to Ji Ran.

He fell in love with Ji Ran at first sight, and even thought about her when he was dreaming, and now that he finally saw her again, he really didn't want to miss it again, but it didn't seem that complete trust had been established between the two, so if he was rashly over-enthusiastic, it might trigger the other party's defensive psychology.

Modrek smiled and nodded, complying with Ji Ran's wishes.

"Well, since you don't like it, then I won't force you, one day, I will make you a beautiful gift with my own hands." Mordrak said with a smile.

Rocky translated Modrek's words to Ji Ran, and Ji Ran also smiled slightly and agreed.

The attack of the Lacaxian army seems to be very smooth, the five hundred infantry led by Halke raided the garrison of Alashankou, and achieved a great victory, two thousand garrisons were beaten and lost their armor and collapsed, and Rennes and Leyard, who were responsible for the roundabout, also successfully raided the enemy's rear, causing great chaos, especially Rennes's cavalry regiment, which also successfully annihilated a reinforcement force to support the Alashankou, which caused great psychological pressure on the enemy.

Wren's cavalry regiment then made peace with Leyard's cavalry regiment, and the enemy who had been defeated from the Alashan Pass was dumpled and annihilated, and the battle of the Central Route Army ended with an unusually smooth operation.

The West Asian Army completely opened the door to the east, firmly occupied the Taiur River Fort, as well as important areas such as the Alashan Pass, and provided convenient conditions for the subsequent legions to advance one after another.

Late at night, Mordrak stood on the main peak of Mount Axielia, looking at the whole east, as if the whole world had stepped under his feet.

Mount Azielia was the highest mountain in the western part of the entire Ligurian Empire, with a panoramic view of the western plains of the entire Liguria.

Since ancient times, anyone who can conquer Mount Axieyilia can conquer the entire western plain of Liguria, and it was from the time that the holy king Camusses conquered Mount Axieyilia.

"I am higher than Mount Azielia because I have trampled it under my feet, and the whole plain of Liguria will tremble under my feet." Mordrac looked to the east and said triumphantly, his eyes full of longing for wealth and territory, like a hungry wolf, staring at a trembling flock.

"Will the war continue?" Ji Ran saw Modrek's excited and eager expression, and asked with some concern.

"Yes, now that the war is going well, why stop? You know, since the end of the Age of the Holy King, we in Lakasia are the only revolutionary fire that maintains the republican system, we want to spread freedom to all parts of the world, we want to free all the serfs, and let the whole continent return to the glorious age of the Holy King again. Modrec said proudly.

Although he said the righteousness of Ling Ran, Ji Ran didn't think so, because she felt that it was like an excuse, and the purpose was just to satisfy her desire for power.

"See, Aiyi, opposite us is the Lacadian Mountains, two mountains like two giants between our Lacacia and the Ligurian plain, hindering the development of Lacaxia, many of the previous kings of Lacaxia, who dreamed of conquering this place, but no one was able to achieve it, and now it has finally come true in my hands, bahahaha..."Mordrak laughed triumphantly.

"Is Alashankou the narrowest of the two mountains?" Ji Ran looked at Modrek and asked.

"Yes, the Alashan Pass is the narrowest place between these two mountains, as long as you can hold this place, no one can pass through it." Mordrak smirked.

"Didn't two thousand miles of ancient rias of soldiers be stationed here before?" Ji Ran asked again.

"Well, but it has been routed by Halk's five hundred soldiers, and the poor creature who escaped happened to meet the cavalry regiments of Wren and Riyadh, and was completely wiped out." Modlek said with a smile, showing no mercy.

"If you can take this place so easily, how can you guarantee that no one else can take it back?" Ji Ran looked at Modrek and asked.

Modrek was slightly stunned, and looked at Ji Ran strangely, she obviously had something to say, although she didn't like to listen to this kind of questioning words, but Ji Ran was right, since you can easily take here, then how can you guarantee that others can't take here?

"I don't want to offend you, but there's one thing I want you to think about carefully, okay?" Ji Ran looked at Mordrake and asked cautiously.

Rocky translated Ji Ran's words.

Mordrak nodded and agreed.

"War means bloodshed and death, and although you may have a reason to start a war, whether it is for the country, for the people, or for freedom and ideals, I feel that the use of force to take the lives and property of others, and to kill civilians and soldiers indiscriminately, is the work of bandits.

Now that Lakassia has occupied the fort of the Taiur River and the Alashan Pass, and has completely eliminated the threat from the east, why not stop the war, let the soldiers go home and reunite with their families, and let the people live happily ever after? Ji Ran said his heartfelt words.

After Rocky translated, Mordrake's face became a little gloomy.

In fact, this war was not only launched to spread freedom and seize wealth and land, but more importantly, Mordrac hoped to consolidate his position in La Cassia with a brilliant victory.

There are now many aristocrats who want to challenge Mordrac's authority, and some even impeach his father Pendraken at the round table, demanding that Pandraken abdicate early, and that Lakasia need to re-elect the king.

This series of moves is undoubtedly due to the deteriorating economy of Lacazia in recent years.

However, the land area of Lacazia is small, there are vast and dangerous forests in the north, endless mountains in the south, and the only Lacazia Plain, the total area is only about one-third of the Ligurian Plain, and it is impossible to do much in such a small and barren land.

If Lacazia wants to develop, it must go east out of the mouth of the Teuril River, and then capture the Alashan Pass, and march into the Ligurian plain, otherwise, it can only repeat the tragedy of destroying the country in internal friction.

It is clear that Pendreken's rule has been questioned by many nobles, and he needs a strong support, whether it is to improve the current situation in Lacazia economically, or to have a military genius who can make Lacacia move east from the Ligurian Plain and gain capital to fight the East.
