While the Ades were trying to open the passage between the southern forest and the north, in the royal capital, there were also people discussing the affairs of Navabira County.

"Bentink, my Minister of State, are you sure that the county of Nawabira will send people to harass the north?" In just a few years, Ares III had grown much older, and the demonic invasion had exhausted his energy, but he still had to endure for the sake of the kingdom.

"My king, the royal mage group has received a reply from Viscountess Anslow, they have found the mountain road that connected the southern forest with the north a hundred years ago, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to repair it, they estimate that the mountain road will be opened in two months, and then they can send troops to attack the demons on the north side of the mountain range. Bentinck flipped through the information in his hand and reported it to the king.

"I remember that the Anslow family has a very close relationship with the Temple of the Lord of Dawn, do you think you should let the temple send someone to investigate?"

When Bentinke heard the king's words, his brows furrowed slightly, and he checked the information in his hand again before he spoke: "My king, the Lord of Dawn's ability to control the Anslow family has now been reduced to the minimum, and I don't think the people of Navabira County will listen to the words of the Lord of Dawn's Temple. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"A few years ago, the Anslow family once asked the Lord of Dawn for help, and the male heir of their family was infected with the plague, but the Temple of the Lord of Dawn did not come to the rescue, and then there was a case of illegitimate children snatching the inheritance of the family......"

"Oh. As soon as you say that, I have an impression. I remember that. Ahlers III thought for a moment and continued: "So. Do we have a chance to win over Viscount Anslow?"

Bentinke spread his hands and said, "It has never been an area of the kingdom's attention, we have a fairly small number of intelligence personnel in Nawabila, and I can't get detailed information about the Anslow family's inclinations. ”

Ahlers III thought about it, smiled helplessly, and did not blame Bentinke, he was right, because of the mountain barrier, it knew that it was close to the sea. However, the goods cannot be transported, and the development of sea transportation is also in vain.

Therefore, all along, the successive kings of the Osler Kingdom did not pay too much attention to Navabila, and almost regarded Navabila as a dominion, and invested less, and gained less, so under such a vicious circle, there was almost no control over the Navabila region. Only nominally has the right to rule.

"Since their relationship with the Lord of the Dawn Temple is already like this, can we send someone to woo them now?" Try to get as many allies as possible for the royal family.

"You can give it a try, but who to send?" said Bentinker, who had been the state secretary for decades. The idea of the royal family is clear, but now the royal capital has been recovered. If you want people, you don't have money. What to use to win over others?

"Pick a young junior in the royal family, try it, and preferably develop that viscountess into a lover, it will be perfect. "Ahlers III understands in his heart that among the descendants of the royal family now, it may be difficult to find someone who can make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, but there will definitely be many people who spend all day drinking and hooking up with women.

"What if it fails, what if it makes the viscountess disgusted?"

The king shrugged his shoulders and said, "Failure is failure, and the worst case scenario will not be worse than it is now, and Navabira is not under our control anyway." ”

Bentink thought about it, the king was right, the Anslow family was originally a theocratic nobleman, and they didn't listen to the royal family much, and now they fell out with the temple again, so it's no harm to try, and the worst can be worse than now?

"My king, you still need to arrange the candidates, and do you need to bring some supplies over to express the royal family's kindness to the Anslow family?"

"In the evening, I will discuss with the queen and give you an answer tomorrow, as for the supplies, what is lacking in Navabira County?"

Bentinke recalled the map, thought for a moment and said: "The shipping over there is relatively developed, the rainfall is abundant, and there is no shortage of food, and there should be no shortage of general materials, and it is enough to bring some weapons and armor or magic items." ”

Ares III nodded, during this time, the royal mage group has obtained a large number of demon corpses, and the limbs and various organs on their bodies can be used to make magic items and magic weapons, these two things are not lacking in the royal family now, so it is completely feasible to send a few pieces to express goodwill.

"That's it, let's move on to the next ......"

Far away in Navabila, Adès and Anna did not know that in the royal capital, two cunning men were already starting to attack them.

"Here, yes, first use wood to prop it up, then put on the bricks that you brought, yes, build it up for support, so that you can build a stone bridge in the sky. ”

As Adès and Ward were directing the slaves to build a temporary wooden support on the cliff, which was formed by the rain's erosion and a small stream was flowing through the middle of the cliff, Nancy looked up at the upper reaches of the creek and asked Ades beside her

"Ade, is that gentle hill on the other side where you were talking about?"

Adès patted Ward on the shoulder, told him to continue directing the slaves to work, stood up straight, and said to Nancy: "That's right, you see there is a water source here, and on one side of the mountain road is a stony cliff, we can build a checkpoint here, dig a guard point on the cliff, and build a wall on the mountain road, so that we can completely defend this mountain road, and no one can cross it." ”

Nancy nodded, Adès was right, this place is because one side is a cliff, the other side is a stony cliff, when the mountain road was built, this is the narrowest, the road in front of a few hundred feet is only less than five feet, a person and a horse walking here is very dangerous, if you use a wall here, it is really a man, ten thousand people can not open.

"And you see, the cliff here, about a sixty-foot stone bridge, so that the mountain road can be connected, the city wall will be built two stacks, the opposite cliff, this side, if someone from the north comes to attack, we can first resist there, we can't stop, we can destroy this stone bridge, this side is guarded by people, with bows and crossbows, volleying the cliff I see how the enemy's army comes. ”

Nancy: "......"

Sometimes, I have to admire Adès's thoughts, Nancy imagined in her mind the scenario that Adès had just described, indeed, it was impossible for ordinary armies to come over, unless they had flying magicians in their ranks.

Even for a mage, it is not easy to fly over a sixty-foot cliff under the threat of a bow and crossbow, although the mage can be blessed with long-range protection. (To be continued......)
