Soon Lancelot and the others also learned of Phil's declaration of war in the North, and suddenly the whole North fell into a heavy atmosphere.

This war is not as simple as the last time, and Phil's actions are not intended to achieve his goal, and he will not give up, because he even sent out the Orion Legion and the First Heavy Armor Legion around the royal city of Sloving.

Until then, the commander of the First Heavy Legion had been refusing to obey Phil's orders on the grounds that Phil was not the king, but now he had no excuse to continue disobeying.

Although he also suspected that the king's death was not so simple, he had no evidence, and he was born into a knightly family since he was a child, but he could not do anything to betray the kingdom of Lopez, and in the end he could only make a painful decision, surrender the military power, and plan to unload his armor and return to the field.

If possible, he would secretly investigate the truth about the cause of the king's death, but unexpectedly, the day after he left office, the kingdom's secret forces searched his home for a letter from the queen of the lion kingdom.

Then he was executed on the spot by this secret force, without any chance to defend himself to Phil, and even his body was hung on the gates of Slovin the next day.

Faced with a king who did not abide by the rules of the game, those vassals who were either ready to act or wanted to investigate the truth put out their careful thoughts, for fear that one night they would die in their beds for no apparent reason.

Although Phil is menacing, the north is not as fragile as it was last time, because the two armies stationed at the Baria Pass and the fortress of Morun alone combined have seventy or eighty thousand, plus the reserve army and the border guard legion, there are almost more than 100,000.

Then add the navy army of Hierro Province and the garrison troops in various places can almost make up 150,000 or 60,000, if you add the 20,000 troops in Francis City and all kinds of special troops, as long as they command properly, Lancelot and Roland do not think that they will lose.

Now there is only one problem, and that is that Jason is not in the north, so that the execution of some orders will be hindered.

For example, the 1,000 elephant soldiers that Fox has trained with great effort in the past two years may not have a chance to join the battlefield without Jason's permission.

However, under the guidance of Zola and the support of Lancelot and others, with their prestige in the north, they still mobilized most of the army and went to those important fortresses for defense.

As for asking for help from the ice field, Roland and Lancelot didn't think about it, even if there were close to 30,000 permanent legions there, not to mention how far the ice outpost fortress was from the battle line, it was too late, and the current ice outpost fortress was not having a good time.

In the past two years, Beowulf has discovered several veins with the help of his dwarven allies, and has also established a mining camp near them.

But they face a barbarian threat every year, and just this year they have repelled an army of barbarians that is preparing to plunder south, which is close to ten thousand barbarian warriors.

Although Beowulf repelled and even captured thousands of barbarian slaves by virtue of the defense of the fortress and the barbarians' lack of siege equipment, he also lost the lives of thousands of elite soldiers.

There was also a camp with relatively rudimentary fortifications and a relatively small number of soldiers that was breached and slaughtered.

In addition to this, he learned from the mouths of these barbarians that he did not know whether it was good or bad, that is, these barbarians actually had cities on the ice field.

Although there is only one city in the entire ice field, and it was not built by them, this city has existed on the ice field for a long time, the city is on the edge of the ice sea, and the barbarians in the city do not need to plant and raid south, and those barbarians who do this kind of behavior are scattered tribes.

So Beowulf has developed a huge curiosity about this icefield city, and has recently begun to investigate the city's information.

......................................................

Twenty days later, the entire northern continent was in a state of uproar over Phil's sudden declaration of war against his brother again.

The merchants complained that Phil's insistence on selling the goods they had intended to resell to the north could not be sold, and the nobles used it as an after-dinner conversation, betting with each other who would win the war, and the commoners prayed that the war would not spread to their hometowns.

At this time, Loka's fleet also arrived at the small port of a small country on the west coast for replenishment, and Jason also took this opportunity to disembark and breathe.

Although the sea is magnificent, you will feel nauseous and want to vomit if you see too much.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the smile on his face froze as soon as he stepped on this small port.

For he heard a few dejected merchants gossiping there: "Alas, you said that the death of King Lopez is too inopportune, and I have just bought 8,000 gold coins of goods in my hands, and most of this half year has been in vain." ”

The newly enthroned king was also a madman, and before he had time to stabilize the people's minds, he declared war on his brother, causing us merchants to suffer such a great loss!"

"Your Highness. Looking at Jason's increasingly cloudy expression, as well as his slightly pale lips and slightly trembling arms, Arthur held his arm with some concern.

Jason took a few deep breaths and gradually stabilized his emotions, he didn't have much affection for the king of Lopez, because he had only met him once technically, but after hearing the news, it still made his heart instantly ache like a pinprick, and after a while, he patted Arthur's hand and said, "I'm fine, Cu Chulainn went over and asked." ”

After a while, Cú Chulainn walked back, and his expression was very solemn and said: "Your Highness, what they said is true, the old king has been buried not long ago, and the martyred queen has been buried at the same time. ”

"And not long ago, Phil sent 500,000 troops to the north, and Lancelot and they may be in danger. Then he licked his lips and continued, "Moreover, it is rumored that Phil Lopez was a patricide who ascended the throne because several loud noises were heard in the palace that night. ”

Hearing this, Jason's eyes were instantly filled with surging anger, and he gritted his teeth and roared, "Phil, Phil, Phil, Lopez!!"

"Your Highness, the rumors are not credible, everything will be confirmed after we return to the north. Arthur glanced at Cú Chulainn reproachfully and whispered persuasively.

Jason's fists clenched, but his expression gradually calmed down, and then he whispered, "Of course, let's go." ”
