Volume 7 The Ferryman of the River Styx Chapter 48
One day at noon, the lord, who had just lost all his gold coins from the casino, hurried to his mansion, and he had to pay off his debt with another ten thousand gold coins within an hour. Two young nobles followed him, and they were able to make this legendary hero lose in their own hands, and the two young nobles were very happy. But just as they were wondering whether to wait until they entered the room together to ask the hero to sign his name, an old man in a simple black cloak descended from the sky behind several people.
The lord didn't realize that the old man suddenly appeared, but the two young nobles did, and they tried to alert the lord, but just as the lord turned around, a black streamer went straight into his chest.
The old man held a dagger full of black mangs in his hand, and whispered a word in the lord's ear.
"The Emperor of Verne salutes you, Your Excellency Lord of Kane. ”
Then, the killer headed in the direction of the Grey Dragon Mountains.
The two little nobles, who were sprayed with the blood of the lord, were stunned, they screamed, and soon, countless gamblers appeared in the square, and they saw the sight of the legendary hero lying in a pool of blood, and the elven guards of the brigade arrived, and then quickly rode on the lion dragon to catch up.
The news of the assassination of Kane, the lord of the Grey Dragon Castle, was immediately spread to the world by these gamblers who traveled from north to south, and the small Grey Dragon Castle once again became the focus of the world's attention, and gamblers and spies flocked to this projectile land. However, the castle of the lord of the Gray Dragon Castle was always closed, and the girls who were less in and out did not have their usual leisure, but instead had a cautious face and an overly sensitive to the surrounding environment. Later, rumors spread that those people were actually spies for other countries. But in any case, the serious injury of the legendary hero is a foregone conclusion.
The Empress of the Isaac Empire, Tina, issued a statement herself, demanding that Verne immediately and unconditionally hand over the murderer, so as not to destroy the hard-won peace on the continent. Otherwise, Verne must bear all the consequences arising from this. But Verne reacted coldly, accusing Isaac of making something out of nothing, spreading rumors, and buttoning his hat for no reason.
After several statements to no avail, Empress Tina finally made a decision in a fit of rage.
Isaac will pour all his troops into Verne, and he will wipe Verne off the map from now on!
This statement immediately shocked the entire continent. Once the two countries are at war, then almost the entire continent will be drawn into a war, and there has not been a war of this magnitude on the continent for hundreds of years. This is definitely not what every country wants to see. As a result, some countries act as mediators between the two sides. Kane was attacked, his life and death are unknown, this kind of thing will not be endured by any country, because everyone knows what this genius lord has brought to Isaac. What will such an important talent bring to the entire continent in the future, let alone meet an assassin, even if an assassin forms an army to attack, it is normal.
But now that he is really uncertain about his life and death, then Isaac's reaction is also very normal. Some scholars of good deeds even estimate that if that man really dies, then the loss will be more than the value created by the entire continent.
However, no one really thinks that Isaac will use force against Verne, the reason is very simple, because Verne is also an old power, although it has begun to decline, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Isaac definitely does not have so many manpower and material resources to compete with Verne. Neither in terms of the quantity nor the quality of the army, Isaac did not have much to offer.
Verne has mountain giants, plateau giant rhino knights, and puppet troops, plus human troops, Verne can complete all military mobilization in half a month, at least 1.2 million regular troops can be assembled, and there will be at least 500,000 reserves as a supplement, ready to participate in the battle at any time.
As for Isaac, because of the Archduke's garrison system, it was impossible for Isaac to really pour his troops into Verne, and only the 300,000 troops under the Lion Archduke could really be mobilized. These 300,000 troops are all human. In this case, even if you are not a powerful race, Verne can push Isaac back beyond the border.
Isaac's only advantage is that they can quickly deliver food to the front line through tunnels, and Isaac's soldiers are able to feed the front line.
Some sensitive people also seem to feel that something is wrong, the Three Kingdoms of Gray Longjiang
The scale of grain exports to Isaac is very large, and Isaac's grain exports to other countries have always been subject to a quota system, which means that Isaac has always held a large part of the grain in his hands!
However, it is also possible that this situation is part of the business and is quickly forgotten.
Verne naturally scoffed at Isaac's claims, he didn't believe that Isaac really dared to do this, and if the man was really about to hang, he didn't believe that Isaac dared to use troops against Verne.
Everyone on the continent now agrees on one thing.
'Without Kane, Isaac is nothing. ’
Soon, not long after the New Year, the Isaac soldiers who had been stationed on the border of Verne suddenly had a large-scale transfer, and the soldiers who were originally in Lingnan County began to pass through the mountain tunnel dug in Verne in an orderly manner, and quickly completed the mobilization of at least 300,000 troops.
Subsequently, Empress Tina of Isaac issued a statement. A month earlier, Verne had sent hitmen into Isaac to wreak havoc and attempt to assassinate Kane, the Empire's hero, resulting in Kane's death and death, after which the killers fled back to Verne. The Isaac Empire is a peace-loving country, but it will never tolerate such insults from other countries!"
As a result, the entire 300,000 troops under the command of the Grand Duke of Lion entered the territory of Verne and opened a front of more than ten kilometers. vowed to turn over every inch of the whole Verne,
"This girl is crazy. ”
The Emperor of Verne sat at the table of the Hugo Emperor Valjean, his face pale.
Hugo sent someone to assassinate Wang Wei, Verne knew, but what he never expected was that the killer would actually tell him, and he had a fart relationship with the killer?
"This is just nonsense, it's slander, and the most ridiculous thing is that those idiot countries on the mainland still believe it!"
Seeing that Emperor Hugo didn't say anything, Emperor Verne waved his arm and said.
"Calm down, my brother, I'm thinking. ”
Valjean said.
Ponder?
The Emperor of Verne glared at the pretentious bastard, since he and Hugo had been in the same boat, Verne had not lost a single favor, and in every way, they were almost on the verge of becoming the forgotten people of this world. Looking at Emperor Hugo's unhurried attitude, he was even more angry.
Wait, could it be that Emperor Hugo deliberately did this, so that the fire and water were diverted?
Emperor Verne was taken aback by the idea.
No, absolutely impossible, Hugo and Verne have been close partners since ancient times, and he would not do this.
Emperor Verne admonished himself.
"We all know that the 10,000 percent is that man's trick, but this trick is so real that even their little empress is a participant, and those people on the mainland have been deceived. ”
Valjean took a sip of the top-notch tribute tea that only royal can enjoy, and said slowly.
"But since he intends to spend so much effort to deceive people, he must not show his feet, that is, that man will not appear on our battlefield, otherwise they will become the largest country of liars in the world!
Emperor Hugo put down the delicate cup, came behind the Emperor Verne, and pinched the shoulders of the Emperor Verne with both hands.
"But it's not an opportunity for us!"
Valjean said with a smile.
"I'll help you, my brother, I've always been on your side, at all times, even this time, so maybe we can think about it in a different way, what if we two countries send troops together?"
"Our two nations have a total of more than two million troops, and your powerful race troops and my magical troops will be the best combination, and we will have no enemies on the battlefield. Because we can easily crush the 300,000 invaders, all we need to pay is a little time and some pen and ink. ”
Valjean's hands were heavy, and the Emperor Verne felt a pain in his shoulder.
"Simple, my brother, let's make history. ”
