Chapter Seventy-Four—The Gift and the Declaration of War
In the evening, Sham and the others returned to the Lord's Palace, just in time for dinner. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And as the craftsmen who rushed to work for them, each of them received a reward of ten gold coins, which was already worth almost a year's salary for these craftsmen! It's even worth two years' wages for some craftsmen! So they don't have any complaints about rushing to work, but they are very happy to make a lot of money, and go home to make their wives and children happy.
However, Lu Ming was a little unhappy. It was the last day of the year, after all, so how could Sham give all the guests to him, Lily, and Raman?
But in the end, they are also busy with the gifts they give themselves, and he can't say anything. Although he said that the gifts he wanted to give them and the children had already been prepared in advance......
At the dinner, Lu Ming, who was able to sit in his host's seat because the Grand Duke had no official business and was a guest, stood up with a wine glass and said to the Grand Duke and others, as well as his family: "Today is the last day of the year, and from tomorrow it will be the new year." So here I am, I wish Miracaisa even better next year! ”
Suddenly, the others also raised their glasses and chimed in: "May Mira Caisa be even better!" ”
After the high-sounding greetings of Mira Caisa, the crowd began to enjoy the countless delicacies of the dinner.
Compared with other nobles, the banquets of the Lu Ming family and the Hatu family all care about the delicacy of the dishes and do not care about the quantity, and because today is the last day of the year, the number of rare dishes at the dinner is outrageous. Even a hundred times more extravagant than most extravagant aristocrats!
For example, the meat steak on everyone's plate is the meat of a wurm or a bipedal wyvern that is harmful to Odysseus, and it is regarded as a precious alchemy material outside, but at Lu Ming's dinner, it is just an ordinary meat steak.
The meat steak alone is extravagant to this extent, not to mention things like grilled ptarmigan legs, fried frost crocodile slices, king squid meatballs, terrestrial king crabs, and deep-sea arowana!
It can be said that most of the things on the table and on the plate are things that even the nobles of the imperial capital dare not believe! And today, Grand Duke Raels and others ate it at Lu Ming's place.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Archduke Raels had to admit that the caravan of the Lu Ming family, under the control of Filner, had spread its footprints throughout Mirakaisa. None of these things have the same place of origin, and even he can see some special ingredients and spices from Dak'afa.
Archduke Raels can responsibly say that if the state had no restrictions on the caravans under Filner's command, I am afraid that the whole of Pulu would have been set foot by her caravanserais. At that time, Filner didn't know what he would be rich!
It's a pity that the royal family has a lot of restrictions on any nobleman's caravan, otherwise Lu Ming's assets would not only be ranked in his grand duke, who has three caravans to collect his wealth.
However, now is not the time to think about this, if he doesn't eat, his share of food will be snatched away by Shumira and Myra!
-----------------------------------
After eating and drinking, everyone watched for a while, a song and dance performance specially prepared for Lu Ming by an opera house in the city, and finally went to take a shower at about ten o'clock and went back to the room to rest.
And Lu Ming also returned to his room and began to chat with his wife and children, waiting for the arrival of the new year.
At this time, as a husband, Lu Ming also took the lead in taking out the New Year's gift.
In order to prepare these gifts, he can be said to have taken great pains. Because the gifts he gave to Sham and Kanina were carefully chosen, and each one was very suitable for their personalities.
For example, Sham and Miral's custom-made fountain pens, the two Lily's ornate military uniforms, and the holy scriptures written by Raphael, the archangel, in Sika.
After receiving these gifts, Sham and the others were very happy, and while thanking them, they also kissed Lu Ming. This made Raman Lasi, who had never been intimate with Lu Ming, a little shy. But in the end, she still kissed Lu Ming with Sham. As a result, Lu Ming hugged him all of a sudden, kissed him fiercely, and made his face blush like a red apple.
Seeing this, the children naturally thanked Lu Ming after getting the gift, and then left quickly, leaving Lu Ming and his wife alone.
After the door was closed by Emilia, Lily and Sham came to Lu Ming with a gift box, and said with a smile: "This is a gift that our sister prepared for you, I hope you can like it, dear." ”
Hearing this, Lu Ming immediately took the gift and carefully opened it in the eyes of his wives.
After opening the box, Lu Ming saw a delicate pocket watch, lying in the box for a long time.
It is a pocket watch with a special gold case and a dark blue gemstone encrust on both the back and the lid. When you lift the lid, you can see the hour and minute hands made of rubies, as well as small dark blue gems representing the twelve hours and pale blue gemstones representing the minutes. On the inside of the lid of the pocket watch, a sentence is also engraved......
"We love you, darling!" Without waiting for Lu Ming to read out that sentence, Lily and the others said that sentence.
This made Lu Ming very moved, and couldn't help hugging them one by one and kissing them......
"I love you too, dear!"
Hearing Lu Ming's confession, Yu'er Sika and Miral glanced at each other and pressed Raman to the huge bed, while Chimera, Sham, and the two Lily also pulled Lu Ming to the bedside.
hugged Lu Ming's arms from both sides, and the two Lili smiled in Lu Ming's ears: "Tonight, you are ours~ Don't you run~"
"I'm not going to run!" Feeling the hot breath exhaled by the two Lily's voices, Lu Ming laughed, looking at the Laman Rass who was almost stripped naked by Yu'er Sika and Miral, and he was ashamed to look at his Laman, he said to all his wives: "Tonight, we are sleeping together, and no one is allowed to escape!" ”
"We won't run~" Coming to Lu Ming's front with a smile, Sham kissed Lu Ming's mouth, and at the same time, together with the two Lilies, stripped Lu Ming's clothes naked......
After kissing for a while, Lu Ming was let go by Sham, and then he was pushed from the back by Chimera, pressed on Raman Lass's body, and began to kiss Raman Rath's neck and body. And Raman Lasi's mouth has long been occupied by Miral......
-----------------------------------
The big was slept together, the spring talk was silent, and the night passed in a blink of an eye.
As the first rays of sunlight shone into the room through the cracks in the curtains, Lu Ming woke up from the encirclement of his wives.
Because the Grand Duke and the elders were in the lord's mansion, Lu Ming had to carefully break free from the encirclement of the wives, put on new clothes, and go to say hello to the Grand Duke and the elders.
However, after putting on the coat, Lu Ming picked up the pocket watch from the side of the bed and played with it for a while before putting it in the pocket of the clothes inside.
At this time, Raman Rath suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a daze, "What time is it?" ”
"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Gently kissing Laman's face, Lu Ming replied with a smile.
And Raman Lass fell asleep again because she was crazy too late in the night.
Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile, and then carefully left the room without making a sound, closed the door, went to the bathroom next door, and washed up.
However, when he finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, a baron who had been promoted by Sham in his territory suddenly ran over and said to him, "Oh no, Lord Viscount, something has happened to the Duchy of Yalu!" ”
Hearing that man's words, Lu Ming couldn't help frowning, and said angrily: "What kind of body is panicking!" Follow me downstairs! ”
"Yes, Lord Viscount!" Because Lu Ming was the boss, the baron had no choice but to obediently follow him to the living room on the first floor.
Coming to the living room, Lu Ming suddenly found that Archduke Raels and Count Lothric, as well as other nobles, had also risen. At this time, he was discussing something in the living room, and he heard the angry scolding of his father-in-law, Count Vlad, from a distance.
When I walked over and listened, I learned that the Grand Duke of the Principality of Yalu had been assassinated by a member of the Evil Spirit Church a month earlier. Now the Evil Spirit Church, under control of the son of the Grand Duke of the Principality of Yaru, has declared war on the Principality of Errepos in the name of the Principality of Yaru!
The war letter was also just delivered to Errebos in the middle of the night!
Seeing this, Lu Ming didn't need to be told by others, and he knew that the reason why the nobleman under his command was looking for him in a panic just now was because of this incident.
Probably not noticing that Lu Ming had already come, Count Vlad and Count Lothric, as well as some nobles of Agamemnon, were still arguing about how to deal with the declaration of war by the Duchy of Yalu.
"Archduke, I think we should mobilize our forces on the one hand and send heavy troops to guard the border between Erepos and Yaru! On the other hand, send an assassination team to assassinate these people from the evil spirit church who control the son of the Grand Duke of Yalu and rescue them! ”
"I don't agree with Viscount Roisketa, I feel that the bloodthirsty bat Lagerman Vlad should muster our forces and take the lead in attacking this band of souls, whether the one who gives the order or not, the son of the Grand Duke of Yaru! Let them know that we are not to be trifled with! ”
"I'm sorry, Count Vlad, but I don't agree with you. Not to mention that this is too extreme and not conducive to the reputation of my Erebos, and it is not known whether the present war letter was issued with the consent of the nobles of Yaru. Such a situation is really not conducive to us taking the lead in attacking! Moreover, the Principality of Yalu is mountainous and forested, which is not suitable for our Errebose knights to charge, and the infantry is easy to be defeated by Yaru soldiers who are good at field warfare! Therefore, I think that we should first mobilize troops to defend against the opponent's attack, and then contact Styx and Kalksa on the other side of Yalu, and then work with Tartarus to flank Yaru from all sides and force the Duchy of Yaru to surrender! ”
Hearing this, many nobles felt that Lothric was too ruthless. This is simply to let Yalu finish playing completely!
Once the attack begins on all sides, Yalu will fall into the danger of being wiped out by the four principalities if he surrenders to the heirs of the Grand Duke, and if he does not surrender, he will be completely eaten away by the four principalities, and finally face the danger of destroying the country! It can be said that once this strategy starts, Yalu will immediately lose the initiative and become the meat on the board of these four principalities!
At this time, Lu Ming also suddenly said: "I agree with Count Lothric's idea, but Karksa will not join us in the operation to flank Yalu. ”
Lu Ming's sudden opening startled everyone. But soon, Grand Duke Raels calmed down and turned to Lu Ming and asked, "Why won't Karksa join?" ”
"Grand Duke, Grand Duke of Calcas, is a man of self-righteousness, and he has always ignored the proposals or requests of others. Moreover, there is only one place on the border between Kalksa and Yalu, and attacking Yalu will not give Kalksa much to gain, so Kalksa's participation in the operation of pincerizing Yalu is worth the loss! ”
After speaking, Lu Ming said to Archduke Raels again: "But even if we lack the help of Karksa, our alliance of Erreboga Tatarus, plus the magical land of Styx, is enough to defeat the army of Yaru!" Also, I think this battle is very important! This battle will allow our army to quickly get used to fighting monsters such as Cocodora and Yongjira, and it will also deter those with bad intentions and let them know that our alliance between Erepos and Tartarus is very strong! so that they may turn away from us and dare not cause trouble for us! ”
After Lu Ming finished speaking, Lo Slick immediately said: "Indeed, even without Kalksa, we can crush the Yalu Principality with the strength of the three principalities!" Archduke, I'll rush back to Agamemnon now, and begin to contact Tartarus and Styx to prepare for the use of troops against Yaru. You will also come back as soon as possible in the end, ready for the pre-war speech and army mobilization! ”
After pondering for a while, Archduke Raels said: "I'll go back too, war is not a joke, we must make strict arrangements!" ”
Then he looked at Lu Ming and Count Vlad, and ordered: "Lu Ming, I will let people go to the Warcraft cultivation base in Faethon tomorrow, and let them send a hundred evolved Yongjira and fifty Cocodora to our Dicarion Cavalry Regiment of Erepos, you must come up with a way for Yongjira and Cocodora to cooperate with the cavalry regiment as soon as possible!" Lagerman, you wait to get Hermfeth out of the hospital and join us with Agamemnon. Plus, you have the vampires send a squad to act as scouts for the cavalry regiment and fill the position of sergeant chief in the Decalion cavalry regiment! ”
"Yes! Grand duke! "Yes! Grand duke! ”
After receiving the order, Lu Ming and Count Vlad hurriedly said yes and stepped aside.
At the same time, Lu Ming had already begun to think about the combat methods of Yongjila and Coco Dora in the cavalry regiment.
To be honest, Yongjira is easy to say, but if Cocodora does not evolve into Boskodora, it will not be of much use to the cavalry regiment at all. However, if they block the opponent's retreat during the pursuit, Cocodora will be very useful, and they can also use the Rock Seal to create a rock wall to defend against attacks from the flanks. In addition, if Faetong's Monster Cultivation Base is well cultivated, Cocodora will be able to attack from a distance such as shock waves and water fluctuations, which will also be of great help to the cavalry regiment!
