Five days later, Grand Duke Lehman received a letter from Maple Leaf County.

When he received the letter, he was in the middle of a headache about the south. The damned undead didn't play their cards according to common sense, and many of them climbed over the mountains and mountains, bypassing the Davik fortress and entering the territory of the principality.

The number of these undead is not very large, but there are quite a few, judging from the number of undead found so far, there are at least 50,000 low-level undead, and there are about 3,000 high-level undead, they go out day and night, harassing everywhere, many undefended villages and towns have been attacked, and some have even been slaughtered completely.

Of course, the principality also sent troops to encircle and suppress it, but these undead were too scattered and could hide anywhere. During the day, they hide in the deep mountains and old forests, stinky ditches, and even the bottom of the river, as long as they put a cat inside, and then do not move, they do not need to breathe, even the hunting dogs can not smell their scent, it is very difficult to find.

Therefore, the encirclement and suppression have not achieved much effect so far.

These undead are not a big problem at the moment, and what worries Archduke Lehman the most is whether there will be an undead army that will come over the mountain one day, and when the time comes, it will be unimaginable to attack Davik Fortress back and forth!

It was in this anxious situation that the Grand Duke saw Rollin's letter.

The letter was written very euphemistically, saying that Angela was left to play in the territory, but who was the Grand Duke, he understood the meaning of the letter at once, and the evil fire that had been building up in his chest these days finally couldn't bear it, and suddenly broke out, grabbed a potted plant on the desk and threw it out.

There was a loud bang, and the precious sword fir bonsai fell to pieces, and the attendants around were silent, eager to become invisible, lest they become the next target of the Grand Duke to vent his anger.

Archduke Lehman suppressed his anger. Continue reading the letter. The letter mentioned that Rollin was very dissatisfied with his suspicious behavior, but when the continent was in danger, personal grievances were put aside first, and grain and grass would still be transported to Davik Fortress. I hope to check it on time, and don't be embarrassed to carry the grain servants.

Seeing this, Archduke Lehman's face looked a little better, and when he looked up, he saw that the knight who had sent the letter in was still standing in front of him, so he asked, "Bolani." Tell me carefully about what you've seen along the way. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bolani began to tell what he had seen and heard in Levine and Maple Leaf counties, and all the way he saw lived and worked in peace and contentment, and said that the scene in Maple Leaf County was described after describing it. He concluded: "Your Majesty, there hasn't been much change on the surface of Maple Leaf County. But I secretly observed that the inhabitants of the city would inevitably use honorific titles and solemn faces when speaking of the earl, and if anyone insulted or even despised the earl, the people around them would rise up in droves or use words. Or with fists and feet. In the streets and alleys, whether it is a coachman in the market or a gentleman with small assets. It's all true. The residents all had smiles on their faces, most of them had a piece or two of fine jewellery on them, and the shops lining the streets could buy almost everything they wanted. The streets are also very clean, and the horse manure and human urine are cleaned by special personnel, even in the slums, there is not much smell."

Grand Duke Lehman listened attentively. After listening to Bolani all the time, he let out a sigh of relief: "Count Maple Leaf. There is a great talent for governing the country. It's a pity. ”

It's a pity that it is not loyalty that cooperates with this great ruler, but burning ambition.

The Red Moon Sword Saint once said that this person has sincerity. This cannot be wrong, and it can be seen from the grain that is still being transported to the fortress that this man is not rash and has a clear view of the overall situation in his heart.

But the Sword Saint missed a point, in the eyes of the Grand Duke, sincerity is this person's nature, and it is also his most powerful weapon, so that everyone unknowingly trusts him, is persuaded by him, and finally follows him wholeheartedly.

Such a temperament, combined with the ability to govern the country, as well as the almost unparalleled personal force, and the age of only twenty-five years old, can only be described as a generation of Tianjiao, the Grand Duke no longer dares to continue to think about the future situation.

In his heart, this Maple Leaf Count was ten times more terrifying than the young king of the Principality of Aoraki!

After a long silence, Grand Duke Lehman said to the clerk on the side, "Record my words." ”

When the clerk had set up the pen and paper, the Grand Duke began to dictate the reply: "Rollin. Morality. Earl of Swart. ”

After taking a sip of water, the Grand Duke continued: "I am very pleased with your letter, you are Angela's mentor, Angela is with you, I have nothing to worry about. The undead in the south are powerful, I am trembling every day, worrying, I am deeply afraid that the undead have broken through the fortress, and now there is an undead army going north over the mountains and killing everywhere, I would like to ask for a solution? ”

The letter was not much, and in the end, Archduke Lehman asked Rollin for advice, of course he didn't expect any useful answers, but only hinted to the other party, let's not make trouble, let's take it easy, the matter of the undead is the most important.

After writing the letter and sending it to the messenger, Archduke Lehman put the matter aside for the time being, believing that as long as Rollin did not move, the island of Fox at sea would not be an obstacle to him.

Besides, all his troops are now in Davik Fortress, the matter of Fix Island, he can only send six ironclad warships to threaten, but he can't really move, he doesn't have the financial resources and energy to start a war on both sides.

In fact, the letter from Fix Island has been returned, and the situation is not bad, and the Primus family has declared their submission with a clause of compensation, which is a total of 100,000 people to eat and drink for a year's food and military supplies, and 200,000 gold coins.

The other party didn't make any tricks, and the first batch of compensation had been shipped out of Fix Island, all of which were grain harvested that year, and the amount was very large. The gold coins did not delay, and 200,000 gold coins arrived with the first batch of grain.

The matter did not make a big fuss, and he received strong support out of thin air, which made Archduke Lehman breathe a sigh of relief, and the anger in his heart finally eased a little.

Throwing out the bad thing of treason, both Fix Island and Earl Maple Leaf have given him great support, and the strength of the support is far greater than that of other noble lords.

Thinking of this, Grand Duke Lehman couldn't help sighing, and there was a hint of realization in his heart, if he was a lion, then the nobles of the principality were wolves, but now, this Count Maple Leaf was a tiger, and the lion and tiger were incompatible, if it wasn't for the undead, I'm afraid the two of them would have to fight this time.

As soon as the letter was written, another messenger came in and handed in an urgent letter, and the Grand Duke Lehman opened it and almost fainted.

Three days ago, Baiyun City in the southeast of the principality, the port city along the coast that once accepted Vendôme's refugees, was attacked by the undead flying army in the middle of the night, the city lord was first assassinated by a terrible undead, the city was in chaos, gargoyles and undead griffins carried the high undead into the city, a burst of killing, Baiyun City almost became a desperate area, and less than one-tenth of the nearly 300,000 people escaped.

Baiyun City is the largest port city of the principality, providing a huge amount of wealth for the principality every year, and if this city is gone, the financial revenue of the principality will be reduced by at least one-third.

If the money is less, it is nothing, and if the whole city is slaughtered even more terrible, then there will be hundreds of thousands of more undead in the territory of the principality, which is enough to form a terrible army.

The problem is that he simply can't muster much strength against this army now, if he doesn't stop this army, no, if he doesn't wipe out this army. What else is the point of the defense of the Davik Fortress?

It was terrible, and the matter of Fix Island and Earl Maple was nothing compared to it.

Archduke Lehman hurriedly asked the messenger, "Have all the cities near Baiyun City received the news?" ”

The messenger nodded: "The surrounding lakeside fortresses, Swan Castle, and Blue Water City have all gone to the messenger, and they have already begun to build defenses. ”

The Grand Duke was familiar with the map of the principality to the bone, and as soon as he heard these three places, he knew that these three places were very well located, exactly in a semicircle, blocking Baiyun City on the seaside.

But the location is good, but the troops are insufficient, the lakeside fortress is more than a thousand, and the same is true for Swan Castle, and there are more in Bishui City, but there are only three thousand, and there is no way to fight against the undead legion, so it must be supported immediately.

Where there is support, I can only think of a way from the defenders of Davik Fortress, gritting his teeth, Archduke Lehman issued an order: "Inform Marshal Zacrow of the fortress to immediately transfer 20,000 defenders to Bishui City!" ”

20,000 is already the limit, it can't be more, Davik Fortress must not be breached, otherwise the undead will go directly north, there are countless cities along the way, and the undead will become stronger and stronger, and at that time, not to mention the principality, even the entire human race will face the disaster of annihilation.

After giving the order, Grand Duke Lehman felt a splitting headache, pulled his hair hard, suddenly felt a pain in his head, and looked down to see that there was an extra strand of hair on his hand, which was originally just gray, but now he looked at it, it was all white.

These days, bad news comes one after another, and he is really exhausted, and when he sees this strand of gray hair, he can only smile bitterly.

20,000 support was still not enough, the Grand Duke thought about it again, and said to the clerk: "Write on, Your Majesty the Honorable King of Aoraki"

Things have come to this point, the Grand Duke no longer cares about face and feuds, and he must ask the Aoraki Kingdom for help

North, Maple Leaf City.

While the south was inevitably in the midst of war, Maple Leaf City was not affected much, and people did not feel much of a sense of crisis of undead invasion. The undead in the south are, at most, just a conversation between the peddlers and pawns after tea and dinner.

But this certainly does not include high-level personnel such as Rollin.

Almost at the same time, Luo Lin also received the news that Baiyun City had been destroyed.

In Rollin's view, the undead are like a drop of ink dripping into clear water, if you don't scoop out this drop of ink at the first time and let it develop, then soon, the whole glass of water will turn black.

This situation has already appeared once in the south, and now it appears in Baiyun City, if the undead are not killed at the first time, then they will soon spread, and the southeast of the principality will quickly erode, and finally spread to the entire principality.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Rollin decided: "It's time to make a move!" ”

If he really sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, when the undead tiger wins, he himself will be eaten by the tiger. (To be continued) R655
