Chapter Forty-Eight: Mistakes
Due to the accidental assassination of the Pope, the Ash Mountain Celebration, which was supposed to take twenty days, was suddenly compressed into five days!
If it weren't for the fact that merchants from all over the world had already come to Jiaco, for various reasons, the king would not have been able to drive everyone away with a single order!
For example, among them are the royal family of North Sang and several chambers of commerce controlled by the Southern Free Federation!
But everyone knew the news that the Pope had died, so when the king personally ordered the celebration to be compressed, although all parties were a little dissatisfied, they had to respect His Highness's decision!
Moreover, for most people, the accidental death of the old Pope, the spiritual symbol of the Maple Leaf Country, will represent the loss of a major pillar of faith in the Maple Leaf Country!
The combat effectiveness of the army may not change much, and it will even temporarily increase the combat effectiveness of many due to grief and indignation!
However, this kind of combat power that has been enhanced by emotions will soon decline! Before the "Mistress of the Gray Mountain" does not control the overall situation, other countries, especially Bei Sanke, who are very interested in the country, will definitely take the opportunity to eat a little of the land of the Maple Leaf Country!
For example, a large area of fertile plains at the northern foot of the Twin Mountains north of Takayama City! If the speed is fast enough, it will be possible to draw a new national border with the Twin Mountains that stretch for 500 miles from east to west in the Maple Leaf Country!
And the Twin Grand Canyons will become the best passage for the defense of the two northern countries!
For King Heath Morgan, this is also what worries him the most!
The Allen River, a tributary of the Duolun River, has just burst its banks, and the economic and demographic losses caused to the northern part of the Maple Leaf Country have already been very large! It is difficult to say whether the Pope's death will become the fuse of the war!
Just in case, but also for the sake of the fertile farmland stretching over 700,000 square kilometers in the north of the Twin Mountains, he didn't dare to pin this kind of luck on the kindness of the fools in Beisanke!
Immediately use long-wave communication and letter crow transmission to notify the Prime Minister and the Council of Flame City to increase troops in the north! In the name of mountain training and helping farmers harvest, lead the army to the two border cities of Ash Valley and Iron Heart at the northern foot of the Twin Mountains!
As for the rock fortress on the eastern border, it only needs to be strengthened, and there is no need to increase troops immediately! Because this is almost the same as the southern border, it is a multinational common border, and if the idiots of North Sanke dare to invade, it is difficult to say whether the eleven monkeys in the south will cut off their back route!
Looking up at the night sky that is gradually beginning to overcast in the city of Jiaco, Heath-Morgan once again recalls the events that have taken place since the death of the Pope!
A piece of mulberry linen!
It is known that the Jinwu Kingdom, which ranks third in Dongzhou's comprehensive strength, is almost the same age as himself, and the four generals of the Shan, Hai, Chuan, and Lin Ma families are gone!
If they don't die!
If you weren't the king!
I really want to compete on the battlefield with these legendary excellent generals who have won a hundred battles!
Yu Zheng!
Assassin or the last orphan of the Ma family?
Whoever it was, he should have died by now at the hands of Matthew Wynne and Ram, the Grey Mountain Archpriest!
Mulberry linen!
"Humph!"
The act of using a dead man to provoke a war between two countries is extremely childish in front of the king!
But just in case!
"Guards! Inform Forns, and make every effort to monitor the detailed movements of all the chambers of commerce in the city! Especially the few who came from Dongzhou, you must know who these people meet with every time!"
Somehow, he disappeared into a Golden Crow Country Ma family! He didn't want the second family to disappear was Morgan!
Liu En is in pain and happy today! Happy because a large number of goods shipped by the Chamber of Commerce can be accepted by other Xizhou merchants!
In the past, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce may have had a great reputation, but it did not open up any markets outside of Dongzhou! But now it seems that the profits brought by this cross-continent specialty trade are much greater than that of Dongzhou's local business!
As for the source of the pain, it may be the mulberry sackcloth that he brought!
Although the texture is soft, the sweat-wicking and warm properties are very popular!
However, the biggest problem is that the death of the Pope has too much to do with Sanaba!
Although merchants outside of the Maple Leaf Country said that once the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce transferred the mulberry cloth trade to their country, this extremely versatile and high-quality cloth would definitely be very popular!
As for not even thinking about it in the Maple Leaf Country!
Under the word of mouth of those who have a heart, Sangabu has become a symbol of bad luck and bad luck! It is as if someone has been cursed with the most vicious nature, and no one wants to give it away for free!
And Liu En also saw from this result how great the spiritual significance of the deceased Pope is to the people of this city and this country!
However, this can also make maximum use of the power of the entire country of the Maple Leaf Country, and only use the life of a larva to exchange for the successful implementation of killing people with a knife!
"Squeak!" Paul, the leader of the larvae, pushed the door into the small courtyard, and after coming to Liu En's side and bowing, he opened his mouth several times to say something!
Liu En saw the other party's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and wondered: "What? Let that old guy Yu Zheng run away?"
Paul pursed his lips and shook his head, "No, my lord, Yu Zheng is dead, he was beheaded and died!"
"Dead?" Liu En replied with some confusion: "You should be happy to be dead! Why don't you dare to say it!"
Suddenly, Liu En thought of a possibility!
Paul only felt that the flower in front of him was grabbed by the collar, and while the whole person slowly left the ground, he almost touched his nose with the person in charge!
Liu En's smiling eyes were cold for a moment, and he asked in an indifferent and ruthless tone, "What?
Being caught up in mid-air and unable to exert force, Paul's heart jumped to his throat in an instant, and his eyes were full of dodge: "My lord! When we arrived at the scene, Yu Zheng had already been dead all day! Except for the corpse, all the people and children in the gray mountain had lost their trace!"
"What about the traces of the fight, are there any traces of the fight?" Liu Enyan heard the words and asked again: "Yu Zheng is a master of using heavy weapons! Don't tell me that there is nothing!"
At this moment, Paul felt the extremely cold and murderous aura on the person in charge, and the whole person felt as if he had been thrown into the northern ice sea and soaked for three days and three nights!
For a moment, even his voice trembled a little: "My lord! It was raining in the southern part of Takayama Castle at that time, and there was nothing left when we arrived! So, so!"
"Get out!" grabbed the collar's arm and shoved it forward, and Paul's whole body was thrown two meters away.
Yu Zheng, the old bastard, died so early!
It seems that he died on the day of the Pope's assassination! So, no one is coming to assassinate the Pope now?
Where does Liu En, who is furious, still have a trace of kindness, his eyes are red and bloodshot, giving people the illusion of being like a hungry ghost!
Paul, who was thrown two meters away, did not leave the courtyard immediately, but quickly got up and knelt on the spot and explained: "My lord, forgive me!" The larvae sensed the strangeness of Yu Zheng's death, and after a detailed examination, it was found that he contained walking corpse water in his body!"
"Walking corpse water, walking corpse water!" was suddenly told this term, and it took a moment to react, which made the anger in Liu En's heart even greater!
"Damn the Church of Ash Mountain!"
