Chapter 203: The Kingdom of Osler
In the royal capital, in the palace, in the Kingdom of Osler, His Majesty King Ahlers III, holding his temporal chin with one hand, that is, the position of his temple, frowned and looked at the information that the Secretary of State summarized and reported, and was distressed. ↗ Top Novel,
The territory of the Osler Kingdom is vast, vast and sparsely populated, with the territory of the kingdom, but the overall strength is slightly stronger than some principalities on the central continent, and now the information in hand shows that in the south of the kingdom, two-thirds of the region has lost contact, and the information gathered from the religious temple shows that this is a large-scale demonic invasion of the main plane.
The remaining third, all of them were on the periphery of the kingdom, and some of the names of the regions that King Ales III had not even heard of had heard, raised his head and asked the Minister of State: "Does this mean that the southern part of the kingdom has fallen, and there is no military activity to resist in the remaining places?"
The Minister of State, Bentink, lowered his head slightly, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, my king, now there is still a connection with the king in the valley valley of the Red Water River, and it is from the temple of the Lord of the Dawn, and there is also a demonic invasion there, Your Majesty I don't know if you remember the letter reported by the Anslow family more than a year ago?"
Ahlers III frowned and recalled, "Is it the old Viscount Anslow who died of illness, and then there was an illegitimate son who colluded with the devil to seize the title?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it seems that the demons in the Bottomless Abyss have been preparing for such an invasion for a long time, and you can deduce that if the young lady of the Anslow family and her widowed brother and wife had not found out about it. If it weren't for the fact that they happened to be followers of the Lord of the Dawn, they had been helped by the Temple. Today, then, His Majesty will receive the news that the southern part of the kingdom has fallen. ”
Ares III couldn't help but nod. Indeed, if that bastard child really occupies the title, then he will definitely follow the demons of the rest of the south now.
Seeing that the king was silent, Bentink, the Minister of State, continued: "Your Majesty, please see this information in your hand, this is the latest report from the Viscount of Anslow, if the situation is true, we can believe that in the rest of the south, it is precisely because of a similar situation that the king has lost contact with the king. ”
The king followed the instructions of the Chancellor. I found that information, and when I opened it, it was written that the barons under the jurisdiction of the viscount had been infiltrated by demons, and not only helped the bastard in the previous bastard incident, but also attacked the viscount in tandem after the bastard failed.
There are also some letters between illegitimate sons and barons copied by Viscount Anslow's guardians, and these letters are in the original of the viscount, and the king can send someone to get them at any time.
And not so long ago, the barons gathered to prepare the military. Detected by the viscounts, the barons carried out a covert operation more than a month ago, that is, when they lost contact with the southern part of the kingdom.
Force the viscount to come up with the few ships he has. said that he would act jointly with the viscount to fight against pirates, which made the military strength of the viscount divided more than half in an instant. As soon as the fleet left the port, the barons inflicted a military strike on the viscountdom on land.
Anna and Molly after discussing with Adès. It's clever not to directly state that the barons are in collusion with the demons, but military operations are carried out during this time period. As long as the people of the royal capital are not stupid, they can think that such an action is to cooperate with those demons in those areas where they have lost contact.
Ahlers III and the Minister of State Bentinke were recruited in this way, after all, two-thirds of the places in the southern region are like this, and they lost contact without any news, saying that all the nobles and nobles in it were killed by demons, it is unlikely, the biggest reason may be that those nobles were infiltrated, or they were controlled by demons.
With a sigh, King Ahlers III asked Bentinck, "What kind of environment is the Anslow family in now, and can they organize military resistance?"
Bentinke shook his head and said: "It was originally the border of the kingdom, except for some iron ore production, there are not many other resources, so the strength is not very good, and the news from the Lord of Dawn also said so."
And I have learned privately that the Temple of the Lord of Dawn has even given up supporting the Ainslo family due to lack of manpower, after all, there has been a plague there, the population is sparse, and it is the traditional parish of the Lord of the Storm and the goddess of the sea.
If the temple of the Lord of Dawn were to preach there, it would not be rewarded as it should be. ”
"What about us? Is it possible to provide some substantial help, after all, if we ignore it completely, it may cause criticism among the people and the noble council. Ahlers III asked the Secretary of State with a deep sigh.
"In addition to the mountains there, there are also the vast forests under the mountains, where the jackals, bears, goblins, and some kobolds live together, and even the church of the forest ladies is relatively weak there, and it is difficult for our army and caravans to send supplies and personnel to the past on a large scale. ”
With a sigh, King Ales III continued Bentink's words and said, "What's more, now that the connection between the north and the south has been interrupted, it is even more impossible. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Minister of State hung his head and answered the King in a deep voice
"Tomorrow a big court meeting, I think there must be a nominal support, otherwise in the future, if such a thing happens, the kingdom will not be saved, and if there is no action, those nobles will be detached. Ahlers III patted the information on the table and said to the Secretary of State.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will contact the Minister of War and the Council of Nobles. ”
Ales III thought for a moment and asked in an uncertain tone, "Bentinkeqing, apart from the south, is there anything unusual in the rest of the kingdom now?" I don't want to, when I wake up tomorrow morning, the royal capital is besieged by demons. ”
Bentinke shook his head and said: "Judging from the intelligence, there is no such situation for the time being, but if there is any change, I think the kingdom will have to issue a demon extermination order, and the kingdom is on the border of the continent, and it is difficult to get the support of the central continent." ”
Ahlers III's face turned dark at once, yes, across the desert and the Gobi Desert, there are tens of thousands of kingdoms from the west coast of the most prosperous continent, once there is an abnormality, it is really isolated.
In the viscounty, Molly's face was also a little dark, and the fall of the north did not cause much panic for the people, after all, it was separated by mountains and forests, but the fleet on the sea disappeared, which meant that demons could come up from the sea at any time.
The freedmen and wealthy merchants in several ports of the territory retreated inland by land, and for a while, the bustling commercial streets in the Black Iron Port changed from bustling with traffic to crowds.
The prices of daily necessities and food have risen, but the prices are high, and they can't resist the panicked people to buy food reserves.
The blacksmith shops in the major mines and the West Market, the goods are piled up, the shipping routes are broken, the goods cannot be transported, many small merchants can not support the bankruptcy, and the price of iron ore has fallen again and again.
While Molly was worried, Anna walked in with a stack of parchment and said to Molly, "Molly, didn't you feed Adex last night? ”
Molly listened to the uninhibited (debauched) language of the lady who had given birth to a child, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, the woman next to Adès, the one who was not touched by him, several times Evis and Anna even ran to take a bath with Ades, and everything that should not be seen was watched by Ades, but Ades has not taken any further action, which makes several women around him a little unconfident.
"If you want to go, do you need my help? I'm afraid that your feet will be weak and you won't have the strength to align with the position. "Molly is also a strong lady, isn't it just a three-person walk, what's the big deal, when I followed Adès, I was already mentally prepared for this.
"Bah......" Anna took a sip and continued: "No, your brother was seriously ill before, and I was also on it, and he was very familiar. ”
Molly slapped her forehead, this (wave) goods!
The topic could not go on, and as soon as she thought of sitting on top of Ades, swaying and galloping, Molly felt it, and she quickly changed the topic and asked, "What development report did he give you?"
Anna is no better, she was ravaged by Adès just now, and even put her fingers into her body to tease her, so that she is still **, hearing Molly change the topic, she also followed her words and said: "Actually, it is the problem of annexing the blacksmith shop in the current West Market, among those bankrupt small merchants, there are many blacksmiths, we can recruit them now, after all, our workshop is now using new technology, and there will be a lot of blacksmiths in demand." ”
Molly frowned and said, "He's not afraid that the technology will be stolen? ”
Anna handed Wen Jiàn to Molly, then clapped her hands and said: "If it is spread, it will be spread, anyway, now that we have money, we can't use it up in this life, and suddenly I have no pressure, it doesn't matter." ”
From the hands of the barons' families and merchants, as well as those knights, Adès and Anna obtained at least 600,000 gold coins, which is cash, not counting the fixed property and antiques, weapons, not to mention those magic weapons and armor. (To be continued......)
