"You mean, the Holy See attacked the Void Ancestor and killed your king on the grounds that the royal family was raising demons in captivity?" Rand sat in his office, looking at the leader of the "thieves", in fact, it would be more appropriate to call him Lange, the captain of the royal garrison.

This news is so shocking that if Langer hadn't lied, the situation on the mainland would have taken a new turn.

The Five Kingdoms will become the Four Kingdoms.

"Yes, just a month ago, the crusaders of the Holy See crossed the west coast, landed in the hinterland of the Void Ancestors, and launched an assault on the capital, and our army could not resist the crusaders," Lang Ge was very tired, "After the capital was breached, the princess disappeared in the chaos, the king was killed, and the army became a headless fly that did not know whose command to listen to, and was quickly annihilated by most of the Crusaders. ”

"Most of the soldiers who survived began to flee, and my team and I grabbed a fishing boat and drifted on the surface for five or six days before landing on land. Lange's lips were chapped, and it was evident from his dirty, tattered uniform and his similarly yellow-skinned companions that they hadn't eaten for a long time.

"My lord, we are not thieves, we are just desperate," Lange explained anxiously as he looked at Rand's expression, "On the way, most of our companions died of hunger and disease, and I just wanted to get some water and food for my stomach." ”

But what Rand was thinking about was not these, the Holy See actually began to blatantly wage war against an independent kingdom, although the strength of the Void Ancestor Kingdom was indeed relatively weak compared to the other four kingdoms, but the Holy See's move was still a little anxious, and the cost of launching a war could not be ignored even with the strength of the Holy See.

They can obviously rely on power infiltration to slowly empty the king and the center of power, and the only way to seize a kingdom is to wage war.

But the former takes too long, while the latter is much simpler.

Again, what was the Holy See anxious about? Was it because they were so strong that they could ignore all resistance, or was it because of some unspeakable pressure that forced them to start a war early?

The Void Ancestor Kingdom is the closest to the Temple of the Holy See, and its strength is the weakest, so it is not surprising that it is the primary target of the Holy See, but after occupying the Void Ancestor City, where will the Holy See's guns turn next?

Is it the remote winter desert, or the morning light near the Void Ancestor, or the strongest Delos, as for the iron stream......

Rand sighed in his heart, compared to other kingdoms, the situation in the Tieliu Kingdom was the most complicated.

The royal family, the Holy See, and the self-respecting princes have almost divided Tieliu into pieces, and compared to the other three kingdoms with a high concentration of power, Tieliu is undoubtedly the most suitable target for the next step.

Break the princes who are in their own camps one by one, and as for the royal family, which is already under the control of the Holy See, then Tieliu will also follow in the footsteps of the Void Ancestor.

"Do you want to remind the Imperial City?" Rand just came up with this idea, but he was dispelled by his own wry smile, even the situation he could figure out, Duke Winton had no reason not to see it, he just didn't know how he would react.

According to Rand's conjecture, it was possible to successfully resist the Papal forces by joining forces with other archdukes in the kingdom at this time.

But Rand felt that the Duke of Winton was likely to choose another path, leading his army to defeat all the other Grand Dukes before the Holy See's army entered the territory of Tieliu, and took all the power into his own hands, and then fought to the death with the royal family.

If you win, you will ascend to the throne and face the Holy See.

If you lose, you will never recover, and there will be no bones.

......

"The Crusaders have entered the Void Ancestor. Ron gently put down the letter, the look on his face was very strange, some regret, some expectation, "I originally planned that the gate would be trampled by the iron hooves of the Capet family after all, but I didn't expect the people of the Holy See to take the first step......"

Yazov stood aside and was stunned: "So fast? I thought this battle would last a few months. ”

"That's why I said that the royal family of the Void Ancestor are all stupid pigs!" Ron pursed the corners of his lips, the Holy See had already slowly penetrated its power into the Void Ancestor Kingdom, and the propaganda about the Holy See's divine right resounded in every inch of the Void Ancestor's land, and even the soldiers had great respect for the Holy See, so when the war started, the soldiers could not raise the power of resistance in the face of the Holy See army they believed in, and the concept of the Holy See's sacredness and invincibility had already taken deep root in their hearts.

Such an army cannot even exert half of its strength.

"It seems that those old fellows of the Holy See no longer plan to disguise themselves, and have completely exposed their claws and fangs in front of the world, and have reached out to the territory of other kingdoms, wanting to take all the lands into their pockets," Yazov said with a blank face: "When they completely occupy the Void Ancestor, I am afraid that the next step will be to march to the east." ”

Unexpectedly, Ron shook his head, he looked at the topographic map on the wall, pointed to the bottom of the map and said: "The Winter Desert Kingdom is not a concern at all, if I were the leader of the Crusaders, I would choose the location of the attack as Dawn." ”

"The royal family of the Dawn Kingdom is even more stupid than the Void Ancestor's, and the king's sons are even more stupid to new heights, the only capable daughter, but she is not qualified to be in charge of the army. Ron lifted his feet off the table, "I bet it's easier for the Crusaders to attack Dawn than to attack the Void Ancestors. ”

"If he still refuses to hand over military power to his daughter. Yazov added.

Ron raised an eyebrow and didn't speak.

Even with his arrogant character, he had to admit that woman's excellent command, even in the history of the star-studded continent, she could be ranked in the top three.

Nolante Winlandon.

Her Royal Highness, the princess of the Dawn Kingdom, was also the commander of the kingdom's Praetorian Guard, and during the five years she was in charge of the army, she had a record record of not tasting defeat, and was known as the descendant who was most likely to surpass the Queen of the Blue Sea, and even Ron was defeated by her.

It was the second year that Ron took over the Seventh Legion, and he led 3,000 cavalry down the river and infiltrated the territory of the Dawn Kingdom, plundering and alarming the kingdom's garrison.

At that time, it was Nolanti, who was only seventeen years old, who led the team to expel Ron.

Ron didn't take the little girl seriously, so he ordered the army to charge.

So he was defeated.

Of the 3,000 cavalry, less than half of them made it back to Winterfell alive.

It was the worst setback Ron had ever experienced.

Afterwards, Ron insisted that his soldiers were cavalry and were not suitable for street fighting, and that Nolandi's soldiers were infantry, more flexible, and had a natural advantage.

But what is confirmed is that Ron has never had the idea of fighting the Dawn Kingdom since then.
