Chapter 174: King Cheng Xi's reaction
Yata City, the capital of the northern kingdom of Cheng Xi, heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Although the Kingdom of Cheng Xi exists in name only, with the national capital Yata City as the center, the land within a radius of 100 miles is still under control. Add to this the nominal council of nobles, and the sparse lords who are loyal to the crown. The worship is all based on the mood, barely maintaining the dignity that belongs to the royal family.
Thanks to its status as the national capital, Atta City is thriving. The royal family was frugal and raised a garrison to give the title of forbidden army.
There were two thousand men, including five hundred trainee soldiers.
Such a force is not even a single viscount, which is still slightly insufficient.
If it weren't for the delicate balance reached by the nobles in the country holding each other back. Cheng Xi Kingdom, I'm afraid that the sky has already changed.
The soldier with the title of forbidden army hurriedly ran to a large hall.
Gathering at the hundred officials this morning, it looks like it's still presentable. In particular, the aristocratic council, which was actually alive, actually prompted the nobles from all over the world to urgently send envoys to gather together.
It's hard to imagine how many years such a spectacle hasn't happened.
"The Holy Flame Kingdom and the Azure Kingdom have raided our country, and now a large area of land in the north has been lost, and the door to the south is also wide open," an old man said loudly.
Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, he continued: "Now that our country has reached the point of life and death, the old minister implores His Majesty to promulgate the decree of the whole country to prepare for war, and give the two countries a head-on blow."
"I heard that the two countries went on an expedition this time, and each gathered 100,000 troops, and the magicians of Zhenguo took action. If you dare to ask Your Majesty and your Excellency, even if our country is urgently mobilized, you will do your best to cooperate. But how many troops can I wait, and can there be a great magician to contend with it?" a middle-aged man walked slowly, wearing a royal robe, and asked the people above the main hall.
When everyone heard the voice, they all looked at it.
A smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth sitting on the main seat: "Why did Brother Wang come so late?"
"Your Majesty, I just received an interesting message for my brother, so I'm a little late," Lucien said to his brother who was sitting on the throne, King Basil of the Dawn Kingdom.
The representatives of the nobles above the main hall all looked at each other with puzzled eyes.
Looking at their puzzled looks, Lucian slowly spoke: "Everyone, the opportunity for the rise of my Dawn Kingdom has come."
"Opportunity to rise?" everyone smiled strangely, whether the prince in front of them was paranoid. At this time, the Dawn Kingdom is about to come to a catastrophe, and how can it be said to rise.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Basil quickly sank his face. The royal family finally waited for this opportunity to exert some influence on the nobles everywhere. But he didn't want his younger brother to dare to say such nonsense.
The silent anger spread, and the smile on Lucian's lips became a little thicker, and then he turned around and shouted outside: "Come in, tell your lordships and Your Majesty the news you just received"
"Yes," a violent voice came from outside the main hall.
A burly man in armor strode into the main hall and bowed to Basil, who was sitting on the throne, "Your Majesty, Your Excellency"
"Urgent information has just come from the teleportation array, the El County has been lost, and there is a big battle between the Azure Kingdom and the Holy Flame Kingdom," the man said loudly.
Before the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall. The two countries joined forces, why did a great war break out outside the city of Ayr.
They looked at the man and saw that he had not finished speaking, so they shut their mouths.
The uproar subsided, and the man continued to speak slowly: "Just when a great war broke out between the two countries, a force suddenly appeared, calling itself the Church of Light."
"This church has two supreme powers, and in one fell swoop it has defeated two great magicians and an army of 200,000," the man paused for a moment, and then changed his words: "El City has been occupied by the Church of Light"
Looking at the stunned king and the noble envoys from all over the country, the man took out the parchment scroll around his waist: "This is the letter sent by the Church of Light through the teleportation array."
"By all indications, the people of the Church of Light are all born on the shores of Lake Noga in our country," the man held the letter above his head.
At this time, all the people on the main hall did not care about etiquette, and gathered around the place where the person was.
Looking at the crowd gathered around, Lucian immediately snatched the sheepskin roll into his hand, and then walked to Basil with an arrow step, and respectfully handed it over: "Your Majesty, please take a look"
Everyone stopped in unison, their eyes fixed on the parchment roll in Basil's hand.
Basil quickly opened the parchment roll and browsed.
His hand trembled, but fortunately he reacted quickly, so he didn't let the parchment roll fall. His eyes looked at Lucian, revealing a light of disbelief: "The Church of Light is willing to become the town state church of our country?
"Zhenguo Church?" there was an uproar in the main hall.
Hearing this uproar, Basil reacted, and handed the parchment scroll in his hand to a noble representative beside him: "You can see it clearly if you look closely."
"Your Majesty, my lords, this matter is a heavenly opportunity for my Cheng Xi Kingdom. If our country has a great magician, how can there be such a danger of destroying the country," Lucian said slowly, although he tried his best to pretend to be bland. But the excitement in his eyes betrayed his mood at the moment.
A serious question was placed in front of everyone at the same time, if this matter was agreed, the Ming Cheng Xi Kingdom would inevitably be unified again. After all, the power of the great magician is not allowed to be peeped into.
What's more, this Church of Light has two great magicians.
But if you don't agree, you will have to bear the wrath of the Church of Light. Ask yourself, with the strength of a nobleman, how can you resist.
Looking at the representatives of the nobility from all over the world who were lost in thought, Basil and Lucian glanced at each other at the same time, and the corners of their mouths were smug smiles.
This feeling of borrowing power is very good, as long as this matter is completed, the offerings handed over from all over the country will inevitably be full.
At that time, the royal family can take the opportunity to completely expand and clean them up one by one.
As for their desire to evade taxes, then weigh the anger of the Great Magician of Zhenguo. After all, why did the great magician suppress the country, what he asked for was not the word resources.
From ancient times to the present, the royal family plus the great magician of Zhenguo can be regarded as famous and real.
"Sending an envoy in the name of the royal family can agree to this matter as appropriate, on the premise of keeping the current pattern unchanged," a slightly older middle-aged man said slowly, his tone unquestionable.
Looking at the middle-aged man who came out, everyone nodded at the same time, after all, the deterrent power of the two great magicians could not be ignored: "Agree with the words of Grand Duke Gerald"
"Then there is Brother Law, who will send the Church of Light in Ayrshire through the teleportation array in the name of the royal family," Basil was overjoyed and immediately said to Lucian.
Lucien bowed to Basil: "Obey"
