The new province was quickly restored to the old order under Gao Xianzhi's deliberate division and co-optation of some capable and unambitious low-level officials and nobles, but it still takes time to heal the pain caused by the war, but at least the people no longer resist the rule of the Principality of Pritz. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is also due to the fact that the eloquent or ambitious Emperor Paris, because of his eagerness to quickly occupy neighboring countries to form a huge empire, Paris's control over these remote areas is not very strong, and a large number of people who are dissatisfied with Paris's rule are happy to see the Parisians driven away, which makes Gao Xianzhi's action to stabilize the new province more smoothly.

Another important factor is Joan of Arc, the hero rewarded by the Arena of the Gods is unexpectedly set to be from the Duchy of Paddington, who defected to the Duchy of Pridz in order to avenge the Duchy of Paddington, and led the rebels to fight against the Paris army, and finally succeeded in driving the Parisians out of the original Duchy of Paddington, that is, the new province of the Duchy of Pritz.

This series of feats made Joan of Arc the pride of all the people in the newly established province, no matter where Joan of Arc went, it would be welcomed by the people at the bottom, no matter what difficulties the Principality of Pritz encountered in management, as long as Joan of Arc came, all the problems were solved, those officials and nobles gave in out of respect, and for a while, the decree of the Principality of Pridz was unimpeded in the new province, and the situation of the whole province was very good.

After stabilizing the new provinces, Leo finally led the Spartan Heavy Legion and the Eight Banners back to Pritz City, and the next task was still very difficult, that is, to persuade King Pico to agree to the independence of the Principality of Pritz and promote it to the Kingdom of Pritz.

This is probably a very big shame for the Kingdom of Lorraine, and the independence of the principality under its jurisdiction means that the Kingdom of Lorraine has lost its ability to rule, which will give King Pique's prestige a considerable blow.

This trip may not be smooth sailing, and Leo has long been mentally prepared for this. At the same time, Leo also prepared a considerable degree of concessions for King Pique, such as the promise to maintain the security of the Kingdom of Lorraine is still valid, and for example, the Dragon Mountains can be opened to be jointly developed with the Kingdom of Lorraine, and even some material assistance can be provided to the Kingdom of Lorraine. Anyway, soon the Church of Light and the Paris Empire will have a large amount of war reparations, which will be enough to compensate the Kingdom of Lorraine.

Of course, if King Pique is really stubborn and resolutely refuses to agree to Leo's request, then Leo will not sit still. Although Leo only brought a small number of escorts to Lorraine as a sign of sincerity, don't forget Leo's hole cards and dependence. After a big battle with several legions of the Paris Empire, especially Leo rushed to the front line first, so at this time, Leo still had tens of thousands of god pleasure points waiting to be summoned in the Arena of the Gods.

Just imagine that if Leo summons a powerful army in the royal city of Lorraine, I am afraid that he can occupy the entire royal city in an instant, if King Pique really refuses to agree to Leo's request, then Leo does not mind changing the king to the throne, or it is not impossible to swallow the kingdom of Lorraine in one bite.

In early autumn, Leo was putting the finishing touches on his Pritz city, while the royal city of Lorraine welcomed a mysterious group of guests, almost everyone in a thick hooded cloak, who always had their heads bowed when walking or doing other things, making it impossible to see their faces.

Magicians always have their own quirks, and it's not a big deal to hide yourself, so even if you look at them curiously, no one thinks there's anything special. Moreover, under the guidance of an old royal mage, this group of mysterious mages quietly entered the palace of Lorraine, and no one else cared about it except for the Iga ninja who was in charge of monitoring the movements of the palace.

"Good day, Dear King Pique!" In a side hall of the palace, one of the leaders of the mysterious mages took the initiative to perform a mage salute to King Pique, and King Pique did not have any kingly frame at all, and hurriedly returned the salute to this mage with the unique etiquette of mages.

After watching King Pique's mage salute, the eerie aura on the mysterious mages was overwhelmed. The mage took the initiative to remove the cloak that obscured his face, revealing a slightly pale face that resembled the brothers Pique and Nick, in addition to being slightly old.

"Uncle Edwin, you're finally back!" King Peake's voice choked up when he saw the old mage.

"Peake, you've finally grown up, my brother hasn't done much in his life, but he has a good son. If it weren't for your support, I'm afraid our Fairman royal family would have been wiped out long ago!" the old mage's words were both relieved and ruthless, making Peake feel like he had finally found his own support.

"These are my friends, several mages from the Dark Council, who are not usually seen, but their magical skills are very powerful. Edwin introduced King Pique to the Dark Mages from the Dark Council.

After King Peake had greeted the dark mages, Edwin continued, "The reason why the dark mages came to Lorraine with me this time is because they have the same purpose as you, and they are all for the Principality of Pritz!"

Hearing his uncle's words, King Pique's pupils shrank, the Duchy of Pritz and Archduke Leo had already become a nightmare in his heart, and this time he did not hesitate to use emergency contact to recall Uncle Edwin, who was practicing in the Dark Council, just for this Archduke Leo. But what King Pique didn't expect was that Uncle Edwin had brought back powerful dark mages, and the target of these dark mages turned out to be the Duchy of Pritz.

Seeing the question in King Pique's eyes, Edwin preemptively asked, "Pique, have you heard of Joe, the Dark Mage?"

"Joe, oh, who is the same Master Joe Bronny who has often gone against the Church of Light and caused a lot of trouble?" Peake thought about for a moment, finally remembering the man his uncle had spoken of.

"Yes, Joe is already a high-level dark mage, even among the elite of the entire Dark Council, but after he and the necromancer Swift went to the Church of Light in Pritz City, there has been no more news. You know, every dark mage is an indispensable part of the council, it is the hard work of the entire council, Joe's disappearance is unacceptable to the council, and the dark mages and I are here to investigate the matter of the Principality of Pritz. ”
