Chapter 323: The Return
Kingdom of Osler
The Minister of Military Affairs half-knelt in front of King Ahlers III, "Your Majesty, the army can't stop the attack of demons at all, in the face of spell-like and supernatural abilities, ordinary soldiers are not opponents of those demons at all, Your Majesty, unite with the temple!"
King Ahlers III looked at the military minister kneeling in front of him, he knew that this minister had good intentions, but once he joined forces with the temples and gave the major temples the right to participate in the military, it would not be so easy to take it back.
Seeing that the king was still hesitating, the military minister continued to persuade with some impatience: "Your Majesty, I know what you are worried about, but now that the army can't stop it, the kingdom will be in danger, if it is attacked to the royal capital, what will be paid at that time will be greater than now!"
The military minister did not dare to fully understand the words, but the king should be able to understand them.
And what he said is right, if the royal capital is attacked, it will be too late to find the people of the temple at that time, and it is likely to become like some countries on the mainland, the king's life will be controlled by those temples, and the change of throne must be recognized by the temple before it can be officially inherited.
"Well, is there any other way than the temple?" asked King Ares III, with a low sigh and a stiff expression.
"Confer the knighthood, take out all the territories that have been occupied, whoever occupies it is the lord, provided that it is not broken by the demon again. ”
What the military minister said is also a countermeasure when the countries on the mainland are invaded by the enemy, but this will make the original vested interests resist, and the king's territory will also shrink, and many royal families would rather die than use such means.
But now the country is ruined and the family is in danger. I can't care about it so much.
The expression on Ahlers III's face stiffened even more, it was a mistake to choose. Could it be that the Kingdom of Osler is really going to die at its own hands?
"Majesty!"
"Let the Secretary of State contact the Temple. You go and blow the wind with the nobles who are loyal to the royal family, so that everyone can be mentally prepared to grab as many ownerless territories as possible. ”
"Yes! ”
As the leader of the Viscount Navabila's Guard, it is most suitable for her to arrange the soldiers in the outpost, and there are many soldiers who she has trained.
After the reorganization, the city defense army and guards not only had to take care of the outpost, but also sent a part of the people to search the nearby forest again with the adventuring team. Everyone is afraid that the demon will not only come this time, but if there are some other ones in the forest, then everyone will be doomed.
Not every demon is like a demon hunting spider, which will burrow into the dirt and evolve on its own, and then crawl out after evolution, so that it will vibrate and be discovered by Adez, but other demons are not the same.
In the case of Flomo on the volcanic island in the past, there was no need for this at all. Directly form a cocoon to evolve, and if you succeed in tearing off the cocoon clothes, it will come out, so troublesome.
After arranging the defense tasks of the outpost, Adès and the others were about to leave. After all, it's useless to stay here all the time, and now that all the demons that can be found have been destroyed, you just need to guard the mountain trails in the future. It's okay to detect the demons coming in advance.
And it wasn't necessary for them to be here to rebuild the outpost and send people to scout the mountain paths, as long as the city guards and guards did it. Report at any time, support at any time.
"It's a pity that the scout captain. If we had come sooner, he might not have disappeared. Nat remembered that Ryan, who had been in a relationship with each other, said with some regret as he left the outpost.
Yvis listened and nodded, she had also seen that Ryan, he was a good talent, he was born as a hunter in the forest, and he had a lot of experience in tracking and trapping, so he disappeared in the forest, and it was needless to say that he knew that it must be the hands of those demon hunting spiders.
When passing by the territory of Adès, Bernie said goodbye to everyone, he is now mainly responsible for managing this area, not only the territory of Adess, but also the village on the edge of the forest, which will be the base of him and his teacher Nat in the future.
After saying goodbye to Bernie, everyone continued south, and in the rest of the journey, everyone chatted, from how to make those demon hunting spider carapace equipment in the beginning, to how to eat a big meal when they returned to Black Iron Harbor, and then to the future of Navabila County.
"I estimate that the demon's attack in the north may not make much progress, so I will send some demons to us, otherwise how can they support the war on two fronts?"
"It's possible, but it's unlikely, I guess the demon deliberately sent a part of the team to hold us back and prevent us from going north to support at will. ”
"According to me, if Allers III had only used his army, he would have dealt with demons like an ordinary enemy invasion, and he would have been defeated. ”
"This can't be, isn't it? How could the king be so stupid! It must be the power of the United Temple and the Royal Mage Tower, how could he win if he sent ordinary soldiers to deal with the demons. ”
Everyone had different opinions and expressed their own ideas.
Molly watched everyone talk with a smile and did not express her own opinions, but Adès's sharp eyes saw that her expression was a little weird, so he pulled her over and asked: "Molly, tell me, you are a hereditary nobleman, and you know the nobles' minds best." ”
The king is only the largest nobleman in the kingdom, and some countries may not even be the largest of the king's territory, and it is likely that the great nobles have chosen such a figure by blaming each other.
Molly curled the corners of her mouth and said with a sneer: "The king will really send an army to defend against demons as you said just now. ”
"How is this possible? Isn't that a death for nothing?" Exclamation, Evis exclaimed, expressing her unacceptability to accept such a statement.
"Let's put it this way, if the people of the United Temple and the Mage Tower are going to defend against the demons, then if they win, how will the king reward these people?
Definitely not these things, only territories, but. Whether it's a temple or a mage tower, once you have a territory. Then its own strength is strong, and it has the industrial support of the territory. Do you think you'll listen to a mortal king?"
Yun Ni said at this time, she nodded and said: "This is not the most critical, mainly because whether it is a person from the temple or the mage tower, the object of his allegiance is definitely not the king, but the archmage of the mage tower, or the patriarch of the temple.
In politics, the grass on the wall will inevitably be spurned, so the person who gets the territory must choose an object of allegiance, which is related to his own strength. Do you think it will be the king or the original archmage or patriarch?"
Evis turned a corner at this time, she looked at her sister, shook her head, and said, "It's so complicated." Then he looked up at Molly and said, "Then you just don't listen to the king's lords?"
"It is for this reason that the theocratic aristocracy was suppressed by the fiefdom aristocracy. Molly didn't refute, but talked about the past. "After all, everyone is loyal to different people. ”
"Isn't it dangerous for the kingdom to be invaded by demons this time?" asked Evis, knowing it.
"It's up to whom. Adès added, but by this time there was no interest in the discussion.
Because everyone thought of a question, what if the Kingdom of Osler was gone?
At the north gate of the Black Iron Harbor, a scout in the uniform of the Guards rode wildly on his warhorse, and the crowd that was queuing up to enter the city dodged one after another. Seeing the scout riding a horse and two behind him, they all talked about it.
"This is an emergency military situation, right? One man and three horses, I guess this scout will have to eat on the horse. ”
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense!"
"What nonsense, wasn't there a rumor that there was a demon in the forest to the north? I guess that's what happened. ”
"Hasn't the viscountess already clarified that the demon has been destroyed. And this was confirmed by the people from the north, that none of the villages had disappeared. These rumors deceived women and children who did not know anything, and the caravans that often operated near the forest knew best. ”
"Oh, bro, do you have the inside scoop?"
"No, but my cousin's brother-in-law and brother-in-law are the grooms of a certain caravan, and often follow the caravan to the north, so they must know best which village is dead. ”
Seeing the scouts go away, the guards at the city gate immediately came out to maintain order: "Line up, don't mess around, don't cut in line!"
Since the Viscount's Court lowered the entry fee to only one copper coin per person, the tenant farmers and freedmen in the vicinity liked to come into the city to shop, especially when buying some valuable items, such as bearings for horse-drawn carriages and iron farm tools, and they did not trust the caravans and merchants in the village.
Instead, he chose to go directly into the city, and the price of buying these goods in the city was cheaper than that of the caravan to the village, even if he had to transport it back by himself, as long as he discussed with the people in the village to come out together and go back together, the cost of renting a car was divided equally when transporting the goods, and it was still cheaper than the caravan.
And in the city, you can also shop around, and you can also see the style of the city, which makes people admire.
The scouts rotate with three horses, and the horses are fast.
When Adès said goodbye to Bernie in the copper mine, he chose the means of transportation on the return trip, the most important thing was to take care of Winnie and Molly, these two, one is the relatively thin Yunnie, and the aristocratic lady Molly, are not suitable for long-term riding beasts.
The four-wheeled carriage came in handy at this time, and the road from the copper mine to the Black Iron Port had been opened, although it was not as smooth as the stone road in the city, but the dirt road after tamping and the gravel of the mine were acceptable.
Mia took off her armor and put on a plain refined leather armor, and sat in the carriage to drive, while Adès and Nat rode the beast and guarded the carriage, and the rest of the women rested in the carriage.
Sometimes Evis would come out and rotate with Mia and let Catwoman go in and take a break.
On the road, the scouts galloped on horseback, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves could be seen from afar.
Adez grabbed the reins of the velociraptor and frowned at the dust raised in front of him, thinking, who is this?
The scout soon ran not far from Adès, who saw that he was wearing the uniform of a guard, and pulled the reins to get out of the way, it seems that this scout is delivering a letter, but not to delay Anna's affairs.
The scout also slowed down when he met people on the road, especially when he saw the riding beast that Aders was riding, he was even more careful, after all, the person who could ride such a different riding beast was definitely not an ordinary person.
The scout took a closer look, hey, isn't this a velociraptor yet? It seems that the previous leader also rode this kind of riding beast, and there are not many people in the territory who ride this kind of beast.
Looking at what Ades was wearing again, he could probably guess who was wearing half-body leather armor and a gray-black cloak in front of him.
"You, are you Lord Clifford?"
"Hmm? It's me. Ades was curious when he saw the scout always looking at him.
"Great, the Viscountess has something to say to you, please contact her directly using the Remote Magic Message Disk. ”
"Huh, then why didn't she take the initiative to contact me?"
"It shouldn't be urgent, Madame asked me to send a letter to the outpost, and if I meet you on the road or in the copper mines, I'll talk to you, there's no special explanation. ”
The scout probably knows that Anna and Adès are talking in secret, and will not communicate directly, and they are saying that communication is relatively slow, so it is best for the two sides to use the messenger disk to talk.
While Ades was talking to the scout, Mia in the carriage also stopped, and Molly and Evis inside wondered why they stopped while walking, so they got out of the carriage to see what was going on.
As a result, as soon as Eves got out of the carriage, the scout knelt down.
The soldiers of the guards are very familiar with Evis, especially the members of the scout team, and they admire and admire her even more, basically Yiqiē's wilderness survival skills, trap erection, tracking and anti-tracking are all taught by Evis to the scout instructors, and then the instructors teach the members of the team.
So this scout knelt, this is the teacher's teacher.
Yvice didn't know what the scout was called, let alone Molly.
However, when the scout saw Molly beside Evis, he was more sure of Ades' identity, and the eldest lady of Navabira County was in front of him, so there was no need to wonder if Ades's identity was fake.
Molly and Evis both knew the rules of the army in their territory, she took out her emblem from the space container, and said to the scout gently, "You check my emblem first, and then tell me what Anna sent you to the outpost for." ”
Several high-ranking officials in the territory have such emblems, and Ades also has them, but he doesn't know where to throw them.
The scout stood up cautiously, took the badge very respectfully, checked the badge according to the knowledge taught in the guard training camp, handed it back to Molly, and knelt down on one knee to pray.
"Don't kneel, stand up and speak. Molly said to the scout very kindly.
But the scout didn't listen to her, and knelt down and said, "Madame asked me to go to the outpost, ask about the number of troops there, and some arrangements for the back-up, and also ask me to go to the copper mine, and order the person in charge there, I need to send some soldiers to the outpost......"
