"The North is finally making the move?" Inside the royal castle of Noze, Reriol rubbed his temples and sat in his chair with some headaches, reviewing volume after volume of documents submitted by his subordinates.

Now at the time of the reconstruction and rejuvenation of Nozer, the documents handed in cover all aspects of internal affairs, foreign affairs, military, economy, etc., and the piles of documents piled up on the table have weighed him out of breath. Now he is beginning to regret that he executed all his former officials after that coup, so that he is short of manpower and facing no one to use.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the armies of the north, as they flow into the sea, are converging and growing, and judging by the direction and speed of their travel, they will soon reach the city of Iron Rock in the center. Anufara looked respectfully at his master with his one-eyed eye and replied truthfully.

"Hmph, that's exactly what I thought. Reriol stopped the quill in his hand and sneered, "Those who have come back from the dead, after all, are still thinking about the unfulfilled wishes of their previous lives, and now the guys in Thanatos are still in a hurry." ”

"Your Majesty, you are right, when the time comes, they will definitely want to cooperate with you again. ”

"Okay! This war may be a second chance given to me by God, if you don't want to commit yourself to others and be a puppet for that life, you have to hold that guy's handle firmly in your hands, and once the time comes, turn over with one move!" Because he knows that only by enduring what ordinary people can't endure is to become a master!

"Your Majesty is wise, the matter of the Immortal Mountain that you confessed, the minister has conducted an in-depth investigation and has some eyebrows. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"And so and so on. Anufara whispered softly.

"Hehehe, I see, there are really a lot of secrets hidden by that old immortal. ”

"Your Majesty!" came an urgent report from a soldier outside the door.

"What's the noise? Come in!"

"Report! A large navy has been discovered on the southwest coast, and it is heading for our city!"

"What! Navy ?!!" Reriol stood up with a glare, and then hurried with his soldiers to the watchtower in the southwest corner of Noze.

At the top of the tower, he saw a vast army approaching along the coastline.

"What the hell is this?" the army got closer, and he squinted at the members inside, all of whom were uncivilized natives. They sat in groups of three on the backs of a clumsy hippopotamus and shook shoddy flags (lime with a capital "M" on them), while the rest stood on rudimentary wooden boats, small enough to hold seven or eight people, and large with decks for twenty or thirty men.

On the largest ship in the center of the army, he saw two men dressed in gold and silver, different in skin color and dress from the natives, who seemed to be from the interior, and somehow mingled with the natives.

"Ignorant monkeys, teach them a good lesson today, treat it as a military exercise!" Relior summoned a few heralds and gave several orders.

Soon, the west and south walls each ran on several Nozer archers (the founding of Noze was often threatened by foreign threats from the sea at the beginning, so after the first king built the city wall, he attached great importance to the training of crossbowmen, vigorously developed this type of army, and formed a unique combat force), they were dressed in an orderly manner, scattered in a "three" shape and arranged in three rows

- Standing in the outermost row is the Nozer longbowman, equipped with the Nuoze's unique longbow and improved arrows, good at medium and long-range shooting, sandwiched in the middle is the Nozer short archer, equipped with a basic bow miss, good at medium-range shooting, more powerful than the longbow, and standing in the last row is the Nozer crossbowman, equipped with crossbow arrows, good at shooting at close range, and the damage caused is also the highest of all arrows, some of which are also equipped with heavy crossbows, and can even shoot through the enemy's steel shield in less than three shots, which is amazingly powerful.

At the foot of the city wall, dozens of priests of the Nozer Order arrived one after another, set up a temporary altar below, and prayed to the god of wind for calm (bows and arrows are most afraid of strong winds) and for strength (for the sea to be surging and engulf the enemy).

"Your Majesty, why don't you let us perform the ritual of the Order, although we believe in the living gods, we accept the gods in our hearts, and our devotion to the gods is obvious to all. "On the watchtower came a white cardinal, named Parom, with a bald head and a rickety body, who was the head of the branch of the Archbishop of Quetash in Noze.

"Hehe, it's a good thing to say and embrace the gods, if it weren't for the Orthodox Order of Nuoze, I'm afraid that you would be torn apart and bitten into your stomach, right? When I broke through Nuoze, I didn't see you, but now I have saved your lives, and I am already very magnanimous to you, and now I dare to make demands on me, so bold!"

"Hmph!" the white-clad priest flicked his sleeves and left the place in anger.

"Your Majesty, this old guy is really arrogant, relying on the huge power of the Order behind him, he dares to look at no one, do you want me to be him?" Anufara appeared in the shadow of the watchtower.

"Soon after the founding of Noze, the doctrine of Fiktash was introduced, and it has been supported by the people in several eras, and gradually became large, invisibly controlling the hearts of the people, although on the surface it is a gimmick of isolation from politics, single-minded to God, and even disdain for the previous dwarf king, in fact, it has long been linked to me behind the scenes, and they also participated in the coup d'état of Noze, but when they attacked the city, they did not contribute, but in order to protect themselves, they hid in the city, I did this to provoke him, devalue his status in Noze, once there is a gap, then they will naturally obey me with benefits。 Reriol sneered and analyzed.

"Your Majesty is wise, but the minister is short-sighted. Anufara complimented with a bloodshot one-eye. It naturally understands what the so-called "benefits" mean, the post-war recovery, the instability of the regime, only religious belief can bring the people together, if at this time it has the support of the most powerful order, the prestige of the king can be demonstrated, and then there will be chaos in internal affairs?

In the distance, Marcus and the bald head stood at the bow of the ship, and after seeing the movement on the edge of the city wall of Noze, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind their backs.

"Boss... Are you sure you're going to start a conflict with the regular national army so soon?" the bald head swallowed. Since he entered the gang of thieves, he has never had a battle with even a small lord, and he only looted caravans and villages and towns on weekdays.

"I don't want to do that, the old man in this ring told me to do it. Marcus looked at the other party's regular army, and then at the "zoo" led by himself, and his heart was also at a loss.

[Noze is the closest landable area to the original island, this trip is just to show your strength, take out the same strength as Noze, in order to make the authorities jealous of you after you go ashore] The old man in the ring is very leisurely, like lying on the beach with his legs crossed, leisurely drinking lemon juice on vacation.

[Don't panic, everything is under my control, if you encounter danger, just shout a spell]

"Of course you don't panic, you won't die anyway, but I have to warn you, if I die, you'll sink to the bottom of the sea for the rest of your life, sleeping with fish feces!" Marcus swore to the ring.

"Oh roar, oh roar!" The natives next to them had no idea what was going on, and the closer they got to Nozer, the more they slapped their hands on their chests and drum instruments, and screamed excitedly.

"Sometimes, ignorance is a blessing. Marcus stood on the calm deck and sighed.

"Philosophical, really, King Marcas, philosophical. Tim on the side, led eight or nine small followers (interpreters who had been trained for days, this was a request made by Marcus himself, in order to enhance his language communication skills with the army), holding a roll of animal skins in his hand, using hardened black lime blocks, and carefully recording the "king's quotations" on it.

On the city wall of Noze, the city guard came over and asked: "Your Majesty, the fishing boats and merchant ships in the sea have entered the harbor to take refuge, and now this group of natives is gradually approaching, do you want our archers to ignite the flames on the arrows, or smear some poison to increase their combat ability?"

"Hehe, that's not necessary, to deal with these stupid natives who are not civilized and don't even know how to make clothes, if you use these methods, you won't be laughed at by other countries?" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, a war bow that could only be carried by two people was carried up the watchtower. This bow is much larger than the average bow, which requires a lot of strength from the caster, and it is a great test of arm and waist strength, and the bowstring used in the war bow is glittering red in the sun, as if it was made of unusual materials.

"Your Majesty, your arrows. Another soldier handed over a bag of arrows, which were longer than usual, and of a different material, and looked harder.

"Let it go, and order someone to continue to build these arrows, so that I can have more fun. Reliol raised the war bow with one hand, shook it in the air and smiled, "A good Noze war bow used by the previous king, only those in power are qualified to use it, but it's a pity that the dwarf is too weak to use this weapon at all, so that it is about to fall a layer of dust in the treasury, and now this treasure has met me, and it can be regarded as a kind of fate, hahaha!"

"Your Majesty is mighty, the bowstring of the Nozer Warbow is forged from refined crystal water, and you are the only one who is most worthy of using this weapon in the whole of Tansforg!" Anufara continued to compliment.

"Let me use this bow and this arrow, and get the jackpot first!" Reriol put the arrow on his bow and drew the bowstring round after aiming it at Marcas's fleet.
