Chapter 117: The Kingdom of Celere

Two months have passed, during which time Kenan's Nord army has connected fifteen cities of the Kingdom of Seret, and the forward forces of the Nords have advanced to the city of Hafar, the capital of the Kingdom of Cerlay. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this time, the Kingdom of Cerray, which had lost almost one-third of its chassis, finally came to its senses, and hurriedly dispatched elite professionals from all over the country to guard the royal capital, and issued a royal order, ordering all nobles in the kingdom, regardless of size, to send troops to aid the royal capital, otherwise they would be punished for treason.

After the order was issued, many nobles in the kingdom had no choice but to slowly rush to the aid of the royal capital with their subordinates.

There are two reasons for the passive resistance of these nobles, one is that in the wars of the past, the wars between states are mainly wars that are only seen by the royal family. For many noble lords, it is just a change of allegiance, for these nobles who have no lower limit, it is not unacceptable to change the leader, if you give a nobleman enough benefits, even if it is a devil to rule, they will not have the slightest complaint.

At this time, the royal family of the Kingdom of Seri made it clear that they were going to fight a general battle in the royal capital of Haifar, which was a huge meat grinder, and there were not enough troops to add to it. In this era of war, there is everything with soldiers and food. These shrewd aristocrats will not invest in the foundation of their lives for the benefit of the royal family.

In addition, due to Kennan's complete blockade of the news, there have been no rumors of Kenan massacring nobles outside so far - they were not killed much, and they were all sent to the mines. This also made most of the nobles relieved, ready to wait and see from afar, and wait for the results of the battle to come out before waiting for the price to sell. If Kenan was defeated, the nobles who had been slow to move would gather around like wolves smelling meat. If the kingdom of Seri were defeated, they would abandon their allegiance to the kingdom and defect to Kenan.

Kenan and the royal family of the Kingdom of Seri were well aware of the thoughts of these nobles, but neither side made any moves. The former doesn't care, and the latter can't help it. At present, both sides are carefully preparing for this battle that will affect the fate of the kingdom of Thray. The victor will rule the entire kingdom.

The kingdom of Seri continued to send troops to harass, wanting to delay the time a little longer and be more prepared, and Kenan also needed some time to digest the captured chassis, and by the way, let the troops of the continuous battle rest and recuperate. Despite the high morale of the Nords in consecutive victories, Kennan decided to give his troops a break so that they could prepare for the tough battle in the best possible condition.

As a result, both warring sides tacitly stopped the large-scale fighting of the armies, and turned to silently accumulate strength, and the shadow of the war did not dissipate because the two sides stopped fighting, but became more solemn. Everyone knows that under this calm lies even more fierce battles.

Kingdom of Serlay, the royal city of Haifar.

The palace is full of gold coins, and as the most powerful human kingdom on the continent, the kingdom of Seret has a rich heritage that is different from those small principalities. The palace is carved with beams and paintings, and all the buildings are carved with intricate patterns, and exquisite antiques are displayed in them, and the precious antiques that are priceless on the outside are just an inconspicuous decoration in this palace.

Inside a carved wooden door in the palace, a middle-aged man was furious inside, while the guards and attendants outside the door were silent and did not dare to take a step into the door.

At this time, an old voice came out, "Your Majesty, there is no way to be angry, and you can only blame this Nord King for being too cunning, and he was able to cast a strange spell and capture so many cities without knowing it, what we have to do now is to make arrangements and think of a counterattack strategy." ”

"Hmph, these wastes, the kingdom has already issued martial law, they still don't do the same thing, and as a result, so many cities have been buried in vain, otherwise, I wouldn't have gathered troops in the royal capital to prepare for a decisive battle. ”

"By the way, where are the nobles who rushed to help?"

"Your Majesty, the nearest Duke Norris has arrived in Tallinn, but Duke Norris said that due to heavy rain, the roads are muddy, and it will take at least half a month for reinforcements to reach the royal capital. ”

"Heavy rain, muddy roads, which eyes did he see heavy rain?" the middle-aged man pointed to the clear sky outside. "Wait for half a month, three days at the latest, the Nord army will be in the city, and when he arrives, the royal capital will be flattened by the Nord army. The king of the kingdom of Seret said angrily.

"Your Majesty, you already know what virtues these nobles are, why be angry with them, I think we should prepare for the battle later, and after the victory, we are slowly cleaning up those disobedient nobles. An old man in a gray robe advised.

"Okay, I see, by the way, how are the professional statistics, how many people are willing to accept the kingdom's conscription to participate in the counterattack against the Nords?"

"Your Majesty, after our mobilization we have persuaded the Speaker of the Guild of Professionals, Speaker Tusius, who has agreed to lend us the five hundred and twenty-three professionals gathered in Haifar, at a cost of a considerable amount of mercenary money. A white and pure fat man said sweating profusely.

"How much does that miser want?" The middle-aged man knew Speaker Tuhuus's money-greedy character, and knew that he would definitely be slaughtered by the other party this time.

"A thousand gold coins. The white fat man took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head.

"This miser has changed?" said the king, puzzled.

"It is a 1,000 gold coin opening fee per person, and commissions, food, and disability allowances are calculated separately. The white fat man said tremblingly.

"This despicable scoundrel, the lowly reptile, the maggot in the mud, is he going to empty the treasury of the kingdom. In a fit of rage, the king smashed his beloved crystal glass.

"Your Majesty, Tushus is our last foreign aid, and it will be difficult to resist the Nords if we rely on the Kingdom Guards alone. The gray-robed old man explained.

"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as we defeat the Nords, we can get this money back from the Nords, and those disobedient nobles, as long as we suppress it, it will be no problem to make up this money. The white fat man also whispered comfort.

The king weighed it again and again, but suppressed his anger, "Pointing at the fat man, you can tell Tusius that I agree, but I can only pay the opening fee as a deposit, and the rest will not be paid until the end of the war." As for how to negotiate, I don't care, this is the bottom line of the kingdom, I don't think he wants the kingdom to fall like this, you can do it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The white fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly withdrew.

After the white fat man withdrew, the king turned to an old man in armor next to him, "General Deng Jiaer, the defense of the royal capital will be handed over to you, and I will personally go to the front line to sit in the front line on the day of the battle." ”

General Deng Jiaer opened his mouth, and when he saw the king's resolute gaze, he could not open his mouth in the end, so he could only nod.

A meeting that decided the fate of the kingdom of Seret was over, and in a corner where no one was looking, a hazy wisp of water vapor dissipated.
