Tetalia is located on the northwestern edge of the Wild Highlands. The country was the only country on the mainland that bordered the wild highlands, and a small part of the land remained in the highlands, and then took on the slope of the highlands descending from east to west to the great plains to the west. The last point of the Sandface Mountains stretching westward protrudes into the country, leaving behind vast areas of hills and marshes. It seems to be tainted with the highlands and the Sandface Mountains, and the vast majority of the place is barren and barren. It contrasts sharply with the richness and prosperity of the Great Plains of Erathia to the south. It was only after the establishment of Oufu, a purely commercial hub, that the country improved somewhat economically because it was closest to Oufu.

Countries with a long history and rich culture, such as Erathia, have always had little interest in the region. However, after a long period of struggle and dispersion, several indigenous tribes scattered here evolved from a tribal alliance to form a kingdom of Titalia, which is different from other cultural forms. There is also a tribe of lizardmen in the kingdom, which is the only country on the continent outside of Ofu that recognizes subhumans.

King Tytalia has reigned for 11 generations. A year ago, the old king Talos X died suddenly before he could leave his will. Although the old king has always worked bravely to make the next generation, he does not know whether it is providence or human cause, and only two sons are among the fifty-eight descendants. So the two princes, with the support of the five tribes, began to fight for the succession to the throne. After more than half a year of open and secret fighting, the eldest prince Brown finally won the victory with the support of the three major clans and became the eleventh king of Tytalia.

The eldest son of the queen of the main family naturally grew up in favor since he was a child, and he was also dignified and eight feet tall, and was extremely powerful, far more pleasing to the king than the ugly and funny little prince Taize. So since he was a child, he took it for granted that he was the future master of Titalia, so he was also naturally addicted to sensual dogs and horses. One of his many quirky hobbies is his penchant for raising swamp lizards, and one of his greatest pleasures is to watch his adorable pets slowly devour slave girls.

The main reason for the victory of the eldest prince Brown in the political struggle is very simple, just four words, mediocre and incompetent. This is the conclusion of Cedros after looking at the information gathered.

Although it is true that the three tribes that support him are stronger than the two tribes that support the little prince, the real decisive reason is one person. Nembas, the shadow of the Great Sage of Tytaria.

Culture and magic are as primitive and barren as the land here, and it is because of the magical magician that Nimbas has been able to maintain her self-esteem and status in front of other countries. Legend has it that he once used one enemy to three high-level magicians from regular backgrounds, and at the same time defeated the three magicians who were good at each of the three systems with three types of magic, and he once made a cardinal of the church bow down in a discussion about magic, and once used an earth-shattering magic to kill a rebellious tribe of thousands of people, and the morale of the remaining remnants of the defeated army was immediately collapsed. In Titalia, he is almost synonymous with the god of magic on earth.

Many years ago, the old king was in a desperate situation when he was out hunting, and it was thanks to this sage who passed by and came to the rescue in time to save the day. The king had long admired the prestige of the Shadow Sage, and coupled with the grace of saving his life, he immediately invited Nimbas to become the national teacher of Tytaria. It's a pity that this sage has a strange personality, lives in a simple place and likes to travel far away, and doesn't care about politics and other mundane affairs, so he refuses indifferently. At the urging of the old king, he ordered his only disciple, Luo Sike, to become a court magician.

For some reason, the sage, who had always been withdrawn and reticent, showed his appreciation and concern for the eldest prince. His disciple Luo Sike also had a good relationship with the eldest prince after becoming a court magician. In the struggle for the throne, with Rosco's advice and the influence of the Shadow Sage behind him, Prince Brown was able to easily defeat his brother almost bloodlessly. Immediately after ascending the throne, he made the court magician the prime minister. In today's Tytaria, Nimbas the Shadow Seer is almost equal to the gods in the minds of the people.

But lately the great sage has also seemed a little strange. He has not been seen much in the past few months, and it seems that even his disciple, Prime Minister Luo Sike, does not know his whereabouts.

Gru strode down the red carpet, looking down at the document in his hand as he went. This information was delivered to him as soon as he arrived in Titalia. The parchment was lined with dense small print, describing in as much detail as possible about the current situation of Tytaria, as well as all the important people, their positions, positions, personalities, etc. The description of the Shadow Sage, who has never made any political statements, or even shows his face, takes up a considerable part of the text. This shows the importance that the compilers of this document attached to this sage.

Of course, this description, which may have taken a lot of effort and witty judgment, seemed to Gru to be nonsense now. But he was still satisfied. The person who was lurking in Tetalia to reconnoiter and compile this information did not belong to the top leadership of Oufu, so naturally he would not know the true identity of the Great Sage of the Shadows and the real reason for the silence during this time. To be able to analyze these clever and critical things with one's own judgment, the mind and judgment are already superior. What's more, he doesn't have half a sentence of commentary and inference in the materials he has written, but simply describes. Just describe what you think is important, and the person has not forgotten his responsibilities.

Talent. A rare smile tugged at Gru's lips. Then the proof of the talent folded and closed in his hand, and with a light rubbing, it silently turned into fine crumbs like wool and scattered on the carpet with his steps.

In front of the main hall, the four guards and the herald looked at him a little nervously. The herald smiled awkwardly at him, and asked for a briefing. But Gru didn't even look at him, and with a push of his hands, the heavy door immediately parted on both sides, and he walked in without the slightest pause.

"O'Fort, make General Gru meet His Majesty the King~~~~" The herald's voice was not solemn or solemn because he was in a hurry, but like a vegetable farmer shouting at his own price to the departing guests.

The main hall is vast and far-reaching. Although it has not yet had time to be meticulously retouched because it has just been renovated, the style that King Brown likes is still expressed. The conference table was set at the end of the hall, and His Majesty the King and the patriarchs of the four great tribes were seated, waiting for the guest.

The door, which had to be pushed open by four soldiers, slammed into the walls on either side with a loud bang that reverberated through the hall with a loud bang. But the sound of this man's seemingly small footsteps was not muffled by the sound, and still reached everyone's ears clearly. The rhythm of each footstep was the same, and it was extremely heavy, as if this man had come with thousands of troops and horses, and stepped on everyone's heart with every step.

From a distance, the man seemed to be young, but the empty hall seemed to be filled by him alone. The way he walked, the look on his face, and the sound of his footsteps were filled with the combined momentum. Everyone was a little out of breath.

"Hasn't the Sage Teacher come back yet?" asked King Brown unconsciously turning his head away, not wanting to look at the man, but looking at Rosco next to him.

"The teacher's whereabouts have always been erratic, so he probably went out again. The court magician and prime minister replied slowly. "Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as he learns about the current situation on the mainland, the teacher will definitely guess the variables of the kingdom and will definitely rush back. ”

"It would be nice if the teacher could come back now. King Brown's fat face shook a little. He didn't know why he had such a sudden thought. Although he is the king, the titular lord of Tytaria, the shadow sage in him is the one who can give him a sense of security, and he is the master. Even so, he felt that it was a supreme honor for his disciples to call out to their teacher.

What is this guy when the teacher is here? King Brown said to himself, he was too distracted to notice the pet at his feet, and the two swamp lizards, who had always obeyed his orders, had slipped away as quickly as the man stepped into the hall.

Gru walked over to the conference table and didn't speak, just glanced at everyone in the room with his expressionless eyes. Those dark eyes are like two black holes that are endless, and all those who are seen are crushed by the illusion that they may be sucked into at any time. No one even cares if his actions are courteous to the king of a country.

Rosco coughed. He was a little surprised to find that everyone was just waiting for this person to come to the meeting, but for some reason, as soon as this person appeared, everyone's hearts were completely shocked, as if he had actually become the master here, and the others had become uninvited guests waiting for him to come to the teacher to ask for guilt. But the king didn't open his mouth at all, so he only coughed twice to break the atmosphere, saying, "General Gru." His Majesty and the four clan leaders are already here. Now that you're here, what is that very important thing that Oufu is talking about?"

The king finally came to his senses, nodded his head and said, "Ah, yes. General Gru, please be seated. The letter from the lord of Sedros was very earnest and anxious, saying that there was a matter of great urgency concerning the survival of Tytaria, and that it was imperative that the widow and the tribal leaders should consult with General Gru. What the hell is going on?"

Gru didn't answer directly, but looked at King Brown and asked coldly, "I don't know where Prince Taize and the patriarch of the lizardfolk are?"

King Brown replied, "Oh, I have asked them to lead their troops to the north-eastern border. ”

"I wonder what Your Majesty asked them to sit on?" Gru's eyes fell on King Brown's eyes.

"I've sent them to attack a few of the beast's nests there, in order to expand our territory in the northeast. King Brown replied. Under those dark eyes, he didn't even seem to be able to think, only mechanically and honestly asked and answered.

"I've heard that there are quite a few mud demons there, and a cyclops' lair. Your country has always done its best to prevent the harassment of these monsters, and now why did you suddenly let Prince Taize lead the lizardmen to attack there with so little force. ”

"Doom..... that's because....because of ....." King Brown stammered.

"That's because Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and the country of Tytalia is thriving, and it is the time to expand its territory by force. The court mage and prime minister hurriedly spoke for the king. "The northeastern border is rich in mineral deposits, and as long as the territory is further expanded, the border will be of great benefit to the country. And Prince Taize has always led the army well, and the lizard people are brave and good at fighting, so it is natural to let them serve the country. ”

Gru's gaze turned to Rosco's face, still with the same cold and indifferent expression and tone. "I've heard that Your Majesty has also sent Prince Taize and the Lizardfolk Patriarch a military order that if they can't exterminate the monster colony there, they will be martialed. Really?"

"Yes. If we fail to build up merit, we will not only waste the country's manpower and resources, but also hurt the morale of the people. What's the use of such a person?" replied to Roske's unconsciously standing up, feeling as if this was the only way to make sure that he didn't look small and powerless under that gaze. The tone was as sharp as possible. "General Gru, these are our country's internal affairs, and we don't need to worry about Ofu for us. Judging by the situation during this time, you should take care of yourself now. Or would you please get down to business, what are you here to discuss? To explain to us the atrocities committed by your people in our country some time ago? We are all waiting for Ofu to explain to us. ”

"Actually, I'm not here to discuss anything, but to help you decide something. Gru's eyes swept over everyone's faces again, and finally fell on King Brown's face, and said lightly: "You give way, give up the throne of Tytaria to your younger brother, Prince Tyze." ”

There was a sudden silence in the main hall. Everyone was enlisted, and their brains couldn't react to this sentence for the time being. Even if the old king came out of the tomb, such words could not have been said so easily. However, the outsider's tone is extremely flat, more casual and natural than telling someone 'you change clothes' or 'change your shoes'.
