Chapter 156: The Shadow of War

The capital of the Kingdom of Norsbod, Angusari.

The huge floating city glistens in the sun, and two golden rings of gravity surround the city like a beautiful work of art.

Beneath the Floating City, miners work like ants in the mines, digging and transporting truckloads of ore from the snowfields to the Floating City. In the floating city, artisans and merchants turn ore into money, inject it into the heart of the kingdom, and become the power of the kingdom!

A dwarven miner pushes a minecart and transports a cart of ore to a warehouse in the floating city.

"Here, sign." The storekeeper handed the pen and notebook to the dwarven miners.

The dwarven miner picked up a quill and scribbled his name on the notebook.

"It seems that the output of the mine has started to decline recently." The storekeeper rubbed his hands together and glanced at the minecart in the warehouse.

"Well, there's less ore in the ground, and this vein has been dug up almost." The dwarven miner handed the pen and notebook to the storekeeper.

"When the mines in this area are finished, I don't know where we will go next." The storekeeper sighed.

"If you can, I hope the Floating City can go to a warmer place." The dwarven miner couldn't help but complain, "Mining in such a cold and snowy ghost place is simply a crime!" ”

"Don't you dwarves love mining?"

"It also depends on where you're mining. Forget about this kind of place. The dwarven miner said as he picked up the flask on his waist, took a sip, and warmed his body, "If I still mine in this kind of cold and snowy place next time, I will go home and take the children!" ”

"This kind of thing is not up to us, it depends on the final decision of the Imperial Council."

"Imperial Council......" The dwarf couldn't help but look in the direction of the center of the city. There is the direction in which the royal palace is located.

The center of the floating castle, the royal palace, the imperial council.

In the ornate council chamber, the Queen of the North and a group of important ministers of the kingdom are sitting at the conference table, discussing the affairs of the kingdom.

Rhea Catnari, Queen of the North, is sitting at the top with a photograph in her hand and seems to be in deep thought.

"Your Majesty, I think it's time to ignore the creatures called 'Mona' for the time being, and wait until we have thoroughly figured out the origin of those 'Mona' before making a decision." On the seat to the Queen's right, the white-haired Prime Minister put the document on the table, "I don't think that this intelligent creature could have been born out of thin air, and there is probably a shadow of some 'Your Majesty' behind it." It is not wise to get involved rashly. ”

"The church says it has nothing to do with them, and that behind those 'Mona' is nothing more than some unknown evil god or demon." The bearded dwarf general sitting on the queen's left touched the beard on his lips, "Your Majesty, I think we should go to war as soon as possible!" We don't know what happened to Mona, but what about those creatures who don't understand our reality? We should uproot them while they haven't established themselves in the Valley of Miracles yet, so that we can prevent future troubles! If it drags on for a long time, it will be more difficult for them to regain their footing. ”

"We don't have that many troops. Levorst is a floating city, although there is no need to worry about the harassment of monsters from the ground, but those flying dragons are not something that ordinary nobles can compete with. "The Imperial Prime Minister.

"Troops?" The dwarven general grinned and pointed to his feet, "Isn't that what this is?" The cold iron ore here is almost dug up, and we can drive the floating city directly to Miracle Canyon. No matter how dangerous those wyverns are, can they still pose a threat to Angosari? ”

The former Prime Minister raised his eyebrows: "Drive Angusari to Miracle Canyon?" Aren't you worried about Angsaree becoming the second Leaffer? ”

"Angsari can't become Leverster." Not to be outdone, the dwarven general spoke, "If we can't kill those creatures while they're weak, once we let them develop, we will not only lose the Miracle Canyon, but also the vast land of the north!" Don't forget, those creatures can command monsters, and the vast tundra of the north has now become their backyard, and the monsters on that frozen ground can become the soldiers of those rabbits at any time. ”

"Even if you want to declare war, you should investigate clearly and understand the strength of the other party before declaring war." The former Prime Minister dissatisfied, "Lord Fursky, as a general, you should be well aware of the importance of intelligence. ”

"Intelligence is important, of course, but warplanes are fleeting! The fact that those rabbits, after capturing Miracle Canyon, did not attack us, but chose to hold on and take the initiative to negotiate with us, which is enough to show that they are not strong, and that they urgently need time to develop now. If we don't attack while they are weak, do we have to wait until they have developed and developed the whole north into their own troops? Intelligence can be collected while fighting, but if the fighter misses it, then there will be no chance. ”

"This ......," the Prime Minister was dumbfounded, "perhaps we can live in peace with them." ”

"Miracle Canyon belongs to the kingdom! It belongs to the Hangong family! The dwarf roared, "Unless those rabbits are willing to exit Miracle Canyon and roll into the tundra of the north, this war cannot be avoided!" ”

The Prime Minister was silent.

The Queen of the North opened her eyes: "Who else wants to say?" ”

None of the important ministers present spoke.

Queen of the North: So be it. Berry. ”

"Yes." The Prime Minister sat up straight.

"Send a messenger to the north to inform us of our decision to get those Mona out of Miracle Canyon. Announce the Valley of Miracles as the next destination of Angusari, and prepare the citizens for war mobilization at the same time, and officially set off in a month! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Imperial Prime Minister bowed his head slightly.

Queen of the North: "Folsky." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The dwarven general sat up straight.

"Start preparing for war and strengthen the soldiers' special training for dragons and gargoyles! Don't rush around when the time comes. ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's nothing but a bunch of gargoyles and wyverns! Our muskets and crossbows are already hungry and thirsty! The dwarven general's face was full of excitement.

Looking at the dwarf's excited expression, the Queen of the North gave him a deep look and withdrew her gaze: "Interjes." ”

"In!" A halfling at the end of the seat sat up straight.

"Strengthen intelligence gathering for the North, and it's best to figure out the population of those rabbits and the number of troops."

"Yes!"

After determining the mobilization preparations for war, the entire kingdom system sprang into action, and the shadow of war hung over the Valley of Miracles.
