If you want to talk about righteousness, the sixth prince Oledo is more than enough - he is the eldest son, and he is in the royal capital. But Prince Luyan also has sharp weapons on his side, one is the king's body, and the other is the king's army.

Neither side wanted to tear their faces first, so they each sacrificed the banner of etiquette and righteousness to gain the initiative, and Prince Olotdo urged his twelve brothers to hurry up and escort the body of the former king back to the royal capital, so that a grand king's funeral could be held. Prince Luyan was already on guard, and he discussed with several henchmen, thinking that this was a trap, and once he returned to the royal capital, even if he was not taken down immediately, he would lose his military power. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the sixth prince does not engage in conspiracy and trickery, and it is easy to get more support just by virtue of the status of the eldest son and the prison country.

It is said that the uncle of Prince Luyan gave an idea and sent a messenger to inform the sixth prince that the weather here was hot and humid, and the funeral convoy was not like a light horse, so it was difficult to transport the body of the former king back to the royal capital in time. The six princes were asked to lead the other clan ministers who stayed in the royal capital to attend the king's funeral at the king's resting place.

Two days later, in the capacity of a prisoner, Oledo read out the king's decree, accusing Prince Lu Yan of vain trying to threaten the king's body, plotting to trap and kill the prison and other clan ministers, and plotting to rebel and usurp the throne, announcing that Lu Lu Yan and several of his henchmen had committed treason, and announced that he would lead troops to fight against the rebellion and welcome the remains of the king. After receiving the news, Prince Luyan immediately retorted that it was a great desecration of the king and the kingdom to take advantage of the king's sudden return to the gods, and announced that he would lead the king's personal army to eradicate the rebellion for the king as a deputy marshal.

The kingdom of the young Loren Magaga, because of the sudden return of the king, fell apart in a very short time.

On the side of Prince Oledo, King Kaimo's expedition took away most of the king's personal army, but he used his status as a prisoner to call on vassals, and a few leaders close to the vassals, he still quickly pulled up an army. And Prince Luyan had a large army at his disposal, and they were the king's own army, but these soldiers were loyal to King Kaimo rather than to him, and he was able to gather far fewer vassals than the other party. Therefore, in order not to give the pro-army generals a chance to think and hesitate, and not to give Oleduo too much time to gather the vassal troops, Lu Luyan only left a small number of troops to take care of the king's funeral convoy, and led the army to the royal capital first.

On the surface, both sides have a lot of troops, and the supply of grain and grass is not a problem in the short term, but the coaches of both sides decided early in their hearts that it depends on the first battle if they succeed or lose.

The ruling system of the Loren Magaga Kingdom is a feudal vassal system, and King Kaimo has laid a great deal of power under the wisdom of the king, but there are only fifteen counties directly under the king, and the remaining more than seventy counties are vassal domains. When King Kaimo was there, these vassals naturally did not dare to have two hearts, King Kaimo returned to God, and if the new monarch ascended the throne smoothly and firmly controlled the king's territory and the king's army, these vassals did not dare to act rashly. But now that the king has just lost his life, the two princes have raised troops to ascend the throne, and those vassals seem to be quite obedient on the surface, but do they have any thoughts in their hearts? If the two princes fight to the death and both are defeated, will these big vassals still be willing to be vassals? However, this battle cannot but be fought, one is to call on the vassals in the name of quelling the rebellion and welcoming the remains of the king, and the other is to encircle the king's tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the name of protecting the country and rebelling. If anyone is passive and afraid of war, I am afraid that he will become a bare-bones commander on the spot.

In this way, the two princes, who had chosen war but were afraid of it, met in a nameless wasteland in what is now the kingdom of Miredan, surrounded by their vassals.

Without much probing and scolding, the two sides set up their tents and rested for a day, and the forces of Prince Luyan took the lead in attacking the next morning.

Of course, the old gentleman could not tell the scene and course of the battle, although the historians of both countries later claimed that they had won the battle known as the Battle of the Kinsekha Wasteland, but it was an indisputable fact that this wasteland had been the territory of the kingdom of Miledan from that time.

After the Battle of the Kinseka Wasteland, Prince Longluyan led his army to pursue the victory, but after Prince Oledo entered the city of Arozza, he gave up the pursuit. After each side made a series of speeches, it seemed that there was a tacit understanding to end the counterinsurgency/rebellion war.

In the same year, the two princes were enthroned in the cities of Sassalama and Thedor, respectively, and the establishment of the city in Thedor, of course, is the present-day kingdom of Meredan. It should be pointed out that although Longluyan ascended the throne as the king of Longluyan, he still worshiped King Kaimo as the founding king, so King Kaimo became the only king in the world who may be the founder of two countries at the same time.

For more than 230 years since then, the two countries have been at war – in fact, no truce has been declared since the Battle of the Kinsekha Wilderness. At its worst, the army of Miredang once approached the king's territory of Lorenmagaga, and the army of Lorenmagaga also occupied nearly twenty counties of Miredan, but in the last twenty years, there was no large-scale war between the two countries - the Great Bogar Empire became the main threat to all the bordering countries. Although the blood relationship between these two old brother countries that have fought for more than 200 years is basically gone, the relationship has improved compared to before, at least now there are many fewer cases of small regiments plundering each other's small villages and towns on the border.

Ao Zongheng wanted to inquire about the situation of the Great Bogar Empire and the Principality of Cheltuo that was destroyed by the empire, after all, it was the destination of his trip, but this old teacher was not a historian after all, and he had never been abroad in his life, of course he knew more about the history of his country, but from other countries, what he could say was very limited.

As for the battle in the east, it is still far from the battlefield, and even the inhabitants do not feel much of the atmosphere of war, and even if they ask about the war, it is news from a month ago - five counties have fallen into the hands of the Empire, and the Empire has not yet withdrawn its troops.

After chatting like this for a long time, it was estimated that there was something more valuable, and Ao Zongheng was about to leave, but at this time he felt that there were a few people in armor and robbing, following the only unarmed person, walking towards the old teacher's house.

Arrogant didn't think that these people were coming for him, he had never done anything in Miredang, if it was Loren Magaga's pursuers who crossed the border, what could this person do?

He pushed his qi farther away, not feeling an anomaly in the density of the air - there were no mages nearby.

"Is it looking for this old man? Last time, I found a guy who ran into the royal family's spell advisory group, and this time I got into trouble with the government? Was it my luck, or are all the village and town teachers in this world all hermit fugitives from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?"

A few people came to the door, standing with a big sting, without any special guard, if they wanted to come and arrest someone, whether the target was Ao Zhu or the old teacher, it seemed a little too relaxed and casual.

"Brynn Odd Clam Fen, Bolling Odd Clam Fen, come out quickly, I know you're at home, and today is the deadline for you to pay back taxes." The person who came was actually a tax collector, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself, this was still an answer that he didn't expect.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Tax Officer, I'll pay it right away", probably because he had just received fifty Booms from Aozong, the old teacher Qi Clam Fen seemed very relaxed, and made a slight salute to Aozong, and then opened the door to pay the tax to the tax collector.

Middle-earth has been a man for thirty-five years, and Ao Zongheng has spent no more or less money, but he has never paid taxes, let alone been urged to pay taxes, and his understanding of these things only began after he came to the world of Plozz, but these yellow and white things, Ao Zongheng has no interest, let alone watching people pay taxes, just waiting for Qi Clam Fen to turn, he is about to leave.

However, he was not interested in looking at others, but others were interested in looking at him - in this old man's house who couldn't even pay his taxes, there was actually a well-dressed mage?

I have to say that Qi Clam Fen's house is really not big, as long as you glance at the door, you can see most of the things in the room.

"Are you a mage?" the tax collector asked, tapping the boum coins handed over by Qi Clam Fen and putting them in his tax pocket, but staring at the arrogance in the room.

Arrogantly glanced at the other party and didn't answer, this kind of obvious question needs to be asked more, so I don't have time to bird you.

The tax collector did not seem to care about the arrogant contempt, and he went straight into the house of Strange Clam Fen, and two tax guards followed him, completely ignoring the owner of the house who was bewildered by him.

"Are you a foreigner, have you paid the tax when you enter the town?" This tax collector is not only in charge of this town, but the temperament and image of this arrogant and standing out from the crowd, as long as you are not blind, you can see that this person is a foreigner.

The town tax is a fairly common tax on the continent of Tambro, and the scope of collection generally refers to all foreign populations (except for clergy, officials, and regular soldiers) who enter the town, and the amount is about two to five booms per person, this tax is valid on the day, as long as the money is given, there is no restriction on entering and leaving the town on the same day. However, it is common to say that there are not many towns that have to collect this tax in Loren Magaga, and in Miredang these days, almost all towns have to collect it, and if it is to enter the city, it is not to collect the town tax, but to collect the city tax - from five booms, but the validity period of a single payment is longer.

Since he was already planning to leave, of course he didn't want to make any extraneous troubles, anyway, the tax had already been paid, so he nodded slightly in response.

Unexpectedly, the tax collector was going to say more than this, he walked up to Ao Zongheng, looked up and down, and when he saw the silver-edged lacquer green six-pattern star badge on Ao Zongheng's chest, and two lone flanges carved on it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

As a tax collector, he had seen many people of the three religions and nine ranks, and it might be too difficult for him to recognize the unique mage badge of each country on the mainland, but how could he not recognize the uniform coat of arms of the Legal Management Committee. In this small ruined town, there is actually a mage from the Law Management Department? And a mage?!

Ao Zongheng watched the other party's face change, knowing that this person must have noticed his identity, he remained silent and waited for the other party to speak.

It's just that I didn't expect that this person would say such a thing as soon as he opened his mouth after pondering for a long time.
