Chapter 39: Simply Good People
His Majesty, who was happy, didn't laugh for a few seconds, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
This time, the ministers around him all looked strange. Either look up at the sun in the sky β it's a nice day, or look down at the marble floor of the palace β why aren't there any ants to count me?
All thanks to the words of the herald knight: "The messenger of Lorrainburg named Sylvie Grants was a ...... Knights, and most likely the Knight of the Holy Grail. β
"Grants, is she the daughter of the champion knight Grants?" the king was stunned.
General Carlos nodded.
"Bastard boyβthrow such a problem at me!" the king was almost infuriated with a heart attack.
Because this means that if he decides to open the triumphal arch wide, then the triumphal arch, which has not allowed a female knight to pass through for a thousand years, will usher in a female knight.
It's just that King Keane, as an old king who has reigned for nearly thirty years, has a lot of flowers in his stomach, and his eyes rolled: "Okay, for old Bart's sake, I'll meet that Sylvie." But I'm going to see that bastard boy from Lorraine at the Arc de Triomphe. Order, directly let the 'steed' help the kid guard his new den. Tell the boy to come back on a fast horse. I'm going to give Lorraine's parents a long face. β
Old Keane had a big belly and smiled heartily.
Whether it was the minister next to him or the guard, there was a faint smile on his face.
What did the king say to Lorraine's parents?
It is clearly to put gold on the king's own face.
Bakaria has been a state for a thousand years, but its territory has not expanded for a long time.
Further south from the province of Ryuks, southwest of Kot, there are five more provinces, which makes the entire territory of Bakaria look like a huge oval, with the richest Kot in the northernmost part. The southern provinces are still half-dead after several generations of operations, and because of the long distances, it is difficult to even pay taxes.
This is clearly not conducive to domination.
Therefore, the successive kings of Bakaria have made the reclamation of the wasteland a top priority.
First, the wasteland province has a vast territory and fertile land.
Second, only by occupying the wasteland province can he connect with another human empire, Rick, and trade and exchange for the scarce materials of Bakaria.
In the south it is not that there are no provinces bordering the provinces of the Empire, but there is a need to pass through a long canyon controlled by orcs, so ...... It's at least easier to attack a gentle wasteland than a mountain, isn't it?
Over the millennium, Bakaria has sent troops to the wasteland area thirty-six times, and has failed thirty-five times, and this is the thirty-sixth.
Originally, after hearing that the old Lorraine had hung up, Keen had no hope for Martin. Who knew that the situation would be reversed and the weak would defeat the strong?
King Keane kept the herald knight and inquired carefully about the details of the battle.
"You mean that the boys of the Lorraine family have a high cliff as a castle, and are now expanding outward?" the king was amazed, "this is indeed a good idea, why we could not have thought of it before." β
General Carlos muttered slightly: "We couldn't solve the problem of water before, but I heard that Martin Lorraine seems to have proposed a new solution. β
Little did they know that at this very moment, the waterwheel in Lorraine was already in operation. They would be even more ecstatic if they knew.
"Well, anyway, this little guy has set up a solid bridgehead for us. I must reward him. β
The king, looking at the map, was very excited.
The entire wasteland area is like a pipe on the map, and the terrain on this side of Lorrainburg is a long, narrow shore strip. The level of shipbuilding in Bakaria was quite bad, and at the top of the sky, it was to build small river boats with a load of several tens of tons. Therefore, in order to conquer the entire wasteland area, it is necessary to establish a foothold on the Lorrainburg side, secure supply lines, and then cross the river through the shallows of the Lorrainburg south to the Rick River to reach the wider fertile wasteland hinterland.
Without Lorrainburg, expansion would be nothing more than empty talk.
As for building bridges to fly across the Rick River......
This kind of technology does not exist in this era!
It doesn't matter, a big win has already made Martin famous.
In the city of Cotte, the Salon of Anres, which was the meeting place of the upper class aristocracy. There is the best decoration here, and the room is lit with the best sandalwood all year round, even if this kind of sandalwood called [Night Dream] Bakaria cannot be produced in its own country, and can only be imported by merchants who are smuggled by huge profits every year.
Young knights always come and go in the most neat and splendid gowns, in order to win the favor of a noble lady in a tunic and a low-cut evening dress.
Of course, there are always one or two outliers in every place.
A man in sloppy clothes, who had not even shaved his beard for many years, was lying on a chaise longue in the corner of the hall, reclining on the lap of a beautiful girl, enjoying the maiden's fruit-feeding service, and moaning from time to time to make a few noises.
At this moment, a burly knight who felt like a mountain just by standing stood in front of the sloppy man, easily blocking out the sunlight coming in from the window.
"Jaime, you shit, if you're worried about your sissy waste brother, why don't you die with you?" the burly knight spat out his poisonous tongue without hesitation.
The scruffy man called Jaime didn't lift his eyelids: "Locke, I'm not interested in arguing with your stone head. You are standing here just because you are jealous that my woman is better than you. β
"You ......"
Looking at the beautiful girl who was guarding the sloppy man in one hand, and then at the fully armed knight in the other corner of the hall, who stood motionless like a statue, Locke finally stamped his foot and left.
"Idiot!" the girl spat hard.
"It's okay, don't be angry with him, baby! he's just jealous. Jaime smiled, "I'm just proving that a true man can have a woman to love no matter what he becomes......"
As he spoke, Jaime leaned sideways.
If the sharp-eyed person will see at this time, Jaime's entire right leg is severely atrophied, and compared to the intact left leg, it is like a zombie's thigh, which is creepy.
If Martin sees it, it is estimated that Martin will exclaim "polio"!
"But, my dear, you say he's a fool, and I agree. Only then did Jaime escape from a small golden ball, break it open, and look at a small note that was folded and folded, and even the folds were raw.
"I have to say, dear Martin, you kid is a big surprise for me! I thought you were just a good man......"
