Chapter 513: Viscount Claire
The kingdom of Nadista can be said to be founded by force, even if it has been peaceful for thousands of years, but in fact, the strife in various places has never been broken. Hearing Solomon say that Sun Licheng had more than 200,000 troops, the knights of these earls were not calm, and they were very eager to know what a powerful king of the goblin kingdom wanted to do when he ran into the sphere of human influence, especially around Griffon City.
Of course, they didn't think that Sun Licheng would attack their territory, after all, this place was too far away from the Goblin Kingdom, and if there was really a war, the entire Nadisa Kingdom would take action, and at that time, the entire kingdom would gather two million troops, even if Sun Licheng transferred his 200,000 troops. Moreover, in order to maintain the stability of the territory, Sun Licheng could not bring out an army of 100,000 to the sky, with a 20-fold gap in strength, and these knights did not think that Sun Licheng had any chance of winning.
But the more this happened, the more they found it strange, and it was evident that a king, even the king of a savage land, had very suspicious motives for moving around their domain.
Solomon stretched out his hands helplessly to the Count and said, "I don't know what they're going to do." I just happened to be passing by. But as far as I know, this Sun Licheng is very bloodthirsty and murderous, and wherever he goes, there will be a sea of corpses and blood, and the people will not have a good life. Now that he's in Griffon City, it's clear that he's not a good comer. Therefore, for the sake of the safety of Griffon City, I have come to report to the Earl to remind you that you in Griffon City can prepare as soon as possible. Don't underestimate this Sun Licheng, although the individual force of the goblins is not strong, but this goblin kingdom has a large number of powerful weapons, the key is that Sun Licheng is extremely cruel. ”
"Haha, thank you, Lord Solomon. Still, I'm sure we in Griffon City are not afraid of this threat. ”
Count Alfred burst out laughing, a look of disapproval on his face. In his heart, a goblin king who is out of his own territory, no matter how strong he is, how much wind and waves can he turn over?
After sending Solomon down to rest with his attendants, Count Alfred's face darkened. He looked at the knights around him, his eyes were cold, and said, "The Burning Volcano Village is an important source of wealth for us, and it is also an important pawn for us to control the Great Plains of Azeroth. Now that it has been destroyed by someone else, we still have to find a way to take it back. ”
"Lord Earl, but our first goal now is to deal with Claire, and that is our real enemy. ”
At this time, the mage in the indigo mage robe said.
"Yes, that hateful Claire, he didn't listen to my orders, he didn't have the slightest consciousness to be a subordinate, it's really hateful. ”
The Count said coldly, his teeth chattering.
Seeing that the count was angry, one of the knights below secretly said in his heart: "Claire has nothing to do with Griffon City at all, his territory belongs directly to Duke Bombardier." It's a pity that Duke Bombardier died, and there was no son to inherit the title, Claire directly became the direct viscount of the kingdom, where is your subordinate. ”
Feudal society is like this, your lord is not my lord, even if it is a king, it is impossible to directly order a nobleman under a nobleman.
But for this greedy earl, everyone understands that he is saying this now in order to have a reason to occupy Claire's territory and take the whole plain into his own hands.
At this time, the earl spoke again: "A while ago, His Majesty the old king died of illness, and now His Royal Highness Samik has inherited the throne. Your Majesty has made great efforts to put the country in order, and it is the time for us to serve the country and purge the empire of disloyal. That hateful Claire is disrespectful to His Majesty Samik, and is our number one enemy, as for the Burning Volcanic Village, when we finish cleaning up Claire, we will go to get rid of that Sun Licheng and avenge them in the Burning Volcanic Village. ”
When the knights next to them heard this, they immediately clenched their fists and promised: "Yes, Lord Earl!"
The next day, Solomon opened his eyes from meditation and stood up to let his attendant bring him water to wash his face.
When he had washed up and had breakfast, he waited for Count Alfred to summon him. But the left and right did not wait for the earl's attendants. At lunch, he took an opportunity to ask his attendants, "What is Griffon City doing now, and is there any major military operation?"
The squire was clearly a talkative, gossipy figure, and Solomon quickly figured out that Griffon's biggest goal now was to annex the nearby Eagle City.
The lord of the Eagle City is named Claire, although he is only a viscount, but his martial arts are very powerful, and it is said that he has reached the Holy Rank, so even if he is quite disrespectful to Griffin City, Count Alfred has nothing to do with him.
"Recently, this viscount has become more and more arrogant, he does not care about his superiority and humility, and does not listen to the orders of our Earl, Griffon City has always been preparing to crusade against the City of Eagles. The relationship between the two territories is very tense right now. ”
The attendant whispered to Solomon.
Solomon came to his senses. Obviously, this appearance made the squire very proud, and he introduced it endlessly.
As he spoke, Solomon figured out what had happened. In addition to the so-called question of superiority and inferiority, the earl still has a lot of ideas about the City of Eagles. Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that when the old king was alive, there was a plan to support Claire. Claire is a Holy Order, so the old king wants Claire to be promoted to baron. And once Claire becomes a baron, the sphere of influence of the Eagle City will be greatly expanded, and a strong counterbalance will be formed against the Griffon City, which is exactly the last thing Count Alfred can accept. A nobleman who competes with himself is rising beside him, and whoever is placed there, who will find a way to get rid of it quickly.
When letting the excited squire leave, Solomon sat at the window, looked at the noisy streets outside Griffon, and muttered, "I underestimated the complexity of the situation. Hehe, a war is about to break out between an earl and a viscount, and it seems that it is a little difficult for Alfrete to attack Sun Licheng. ”
Thinking of this, he got up, put on his gray hooded suit, and left the castle and walked out into the noisy streets.
About two hours later, a drunken Solomon returned to his lodgings with joy on his face.
In the tavern, he heard a lot of news, the most important of which was that the old king had died two months earlier and was now succeeded by Prince Samik. It is rumored that Samic and the second prince Bernie have a huge dispute, Prince Bernie has left the capital and is now missing, the new king's men are looking for Prince Bernie everywhere, and the nobles are standing in line.
Who was Solomon? He was the priest of the god of troubadours and thieves, and the god of troubadours and thieves was the elder brother of the god of conspiracy. Back at his lodgings, Solomon locked the door, and after a little thought, he noticed something unusual inside.
He made a simple altar out of the idol he had brought with him, then fell to his knees and prayed to the god of troubadours and thieves. Soon, a white light enveloped him.
After a while, the white light dissipated, and Solomon's eyes shone with excitement. He stood up abruptly, strode to the door, opened the door and shouted to the attendant, "Go and help me pack my luggage, I want to leave Griffon City at once!"
