...... Putting aside this tempting dream, Bonnie drank a glass of water to dilute the excitement of the alcohol, "Don't talk about this today, just let go of your belly." ”

For the past two days, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and even had nightmares. When he came to toast in front of Count Qilin, Boni remembered what happened in Dom Province, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency Qilin, you will be more close in the future." ”

At that time, Boni underestimated the enemy and disdained his army in Lin, believing that the peasant soldiers he had gathered temporarily had no combat power, so he only brought a small number of troops to the battle, and was almost killed by these militiamen.

When Saxony's friendly forces were defeated by the king's army, the rear was empty, and he had the idea of retreating, but it was the people who persuaded him to fight again, so he marched overnight and turned back to the province of Dom to face the king's army.

At that time, he was tired and tired, but Wang Jun made a mistake in the formation and fought low and high, and was defeated by him, but this battle was also a tragic victory, and 2,000 of his men died .......

"It is my pleasure, Lord Marquis. Qi Lin smiled brighter, eager to open his eyes and mouth widely.

Boni patted Qilin on the shoulder, looking at him as a minister, very proud, but also knew that there was still a lot to do, not to be carried away, Adolf's journey was just about to begin.

After the feast, Bonnie was finally able to sleep well that night, and when he woke up, he wrote a letter home to Randall in the realm.

There were many things to say, and more to write, full of three pages, but in the end, Bonnie disliked hypocrisy, tore it up and rewrote it, and more than ten days later, Randall, who received the letter, opened it and took a look.

"Take care of yourself, love your wife, and give birth to my grandson soon. ”

Half a month later, Bonnie received a reply that said, "Yes. ”

"This stinky boy. "Bonnie took it into his arms.

By mid-December, the royal armies of the Schengen and Meuse provinces tried their best to prevent the southern army from entering the royal capital, where the province of Rodin was located, but they had gathered less than 4,000 troops. In the last battle, Imboni captured a large number of Gallic nobles, making them allies of Boni, or at least neutral.

......

......

After returning to the familiar capital, Adrian calmed down, concentrated the remnants of his forces, and tried his best to keep them due to the heavy losses of the Kingdom of Siri and the preparation of retreating.

In the royal palace, Adrian took out two treasures from the treasury and gave them to the visiting envoys of Sili.

The first is a mask, all made of amber, and it is the highest grade of red blood amber, this mask is made according to the face of the ancient Greek Empire, which existed for 2,000 years, after the fall of Greece, it flowed to Gaul, in the tomb of a nobleman, it was dug up by tomb robbers after 1,700 years, and then transferred to the Gallic Dynasty.

The second antique, a little older, but also 700 years, is a treasure that flowed in from Persia, also amber, two legendary dragons, around a ruby round gem, the dragon is carved in gold, the craftsmanship is superb, this treasure is the Persian emperor's conquest of the eastern vast lands, flowed out during the Persian civil strife, first obtained by the Kingdom of Cili, and later bought by William, the founder of the second dynasty of Gaul, at a high price.

"These two things are priceless, but I think he has a price, and if you are willing to help me in an all-round way, it will be owned by your country. Adrian said.

The messenger was amazed, these two treasures were very famous, in the kingdom of Xiri, amber was loved, its value was the first of all jewels, the messenger couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, and finally endured.

"Your Majesty, what do you want?"

"Continue to contain Saxony, and send 20,000 more men to fight me against the rebels, and I will give your country an additional treaty of commercial concessions. ”

"Within four thousand reinforcements, I can get back to you right away. ”

"You collect money to do things, and I will also do it, even if there are 15,000 people, and you can choose the famous paintings of the treasury. ”

"Your Majesty, the agreed 5,000 people have almost all been wiped out, and the pacification expenses for these families are very large, and there are more than 1,000 soldiers and 12 nobles above the baron who have been captured...... In addition, the Bytinian Empire in our southwest has recently invaded our waters due to the problem of sea power, and the Prinian Sea of the Cylian people is about to become the inland sea of the Bytinian Latins, and it is very difficult to gather so many people. The messenger said.

"I step back, at least twelve thousand, light infantry I pay according to the archers, archers I pay according to the cavalry. Adrian stacked the chips.

"The conditions are very tempting, 6,000 men, but it will take at least three weeks for our army to send our troops in, you know, and we still have 10,000 men in our army who are holding Saxony back and making it less likely to invade your province of Marseille. The envoy thought that these two treasures could impress the noble council, but he wanted more, after all, he had come to Gaul from all over the world, and the hardships were not less. Then the messenger said the names of several treasures, all of which were Gallic treasures.

Adrian didn't agree, and the messenger said, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

After the envoy left, Adrian met with the leaders of the four foreign tribes (mercenary groups).

There is a large area of lowlands in the northwestern part of Gaul, known as the "Dutch region", and the inhabitants are collectively called "Dutch", which is the local ancient language, meaning "warrior".

The Netherlands is bordered by the sea to the north, the two peninsulas of Russia and Serbia to the northeast, Britain to the northwest, Saxony to the south by the Rico region and the Hanseatic League, and the Kingdom of Rooney to the east.

The main forces in this area are two principalities composed of the combined forces of the nobility, led by the Duchy of Ned and the Duchy of Ward, and there are many small states of earls and viscounts.

Due to the mixed forces, there are many gangs that kill people, they are influenced by the Rus' people in the east of the Rooney Kingdom, believe in multiple gods, in addition to the Illuminati religion, they also believe in natural gods, which makes the local customs very mixed, and there are also rituals to sacrifice the living - although it is a criminal, but Adrian is also very disgusted, but at the moment he can't control so much, he has to borrow troops to repel the rebels first.

When he was defeated and retreated, Adrian thought about the problem of the lack of troops, in fact, there was still a garrison of 8,000 men in the north, but it could not be moved, if this garrison was there, the Danish pirates in the northeast followed his brother Harold in the Norman province, and there were scruples, if they moved, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So he sent people to the northwest to borrow troops at that time, and found four foreign reinforcements who could help.

However, this move was a foolish move, which was tantamount to announcing to the world that Adrian had no troops to use, and the four foreign chiefs successfully crossed Gaul in the northwest, defending a line of Dutch power, and led thousands of men into the east of Gaul, causing panic among the people, and the local nobles were even more dissatisfied with .......

"A lifetime of fame, a moment of nonsense", this is the evaluation of Adrian by later scholars.

.

"Your Majesty, let me introduce you, this is the Rotter tribe, the most famous mercenary group in the Netherlands, with a total of 1,700 people, good at foot combat, each of them is one for five. "The Governor of Foreign Affairs, Pro, entered with four foreign chiefs.

"Your Majesty. The Lut patriarch Lu En did not salute, but only nodded, he wore antlers on his head, and his clothes were also stag totems.

"I've heard of you, with the stag as the banner, who once helped the Duchy of Ned defeat the Danish pirates. Adrian said.

"With the help of the Rotters, it is very easy to repel the rebels. Lu En's contemptuous words drew unkind glares from the two patriarchs.
