Chapter 23: The Resistance (7)
At night, bonfires are lit up in the valley. The dwarves held hands and danced around the bonfire to celebrate this memorable day.
Yoland, along with the heroes and elders, had more important things to do, and they had to discuss future strategic decisions.
Meng Feila came to Yoland's face, knelt down on one knee, held the sword in both hands, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Watson family is willing to honor you as the king of the dwarves, and will always be loyal to you and your family!"
Yolande stood up, put the king's sword on the shoulder, and said, "Welcome, Memphira! The Watson family will gain enough territory, and your people will be as numerous as the stars in the sky!"
Everyone applauded.
Now Yolander has the support of four families, and has liberated a large group of dwarves in the Centaur Valley, with a force of more than 5,000. It's just a pity that most of the warriors are dwarves and centaurs, and there are no more powerful soldiers.
But this was enough to excite people, ten days ago, except for a few heroes such as Malkem and Kailin, there was not a single soldier around Yoland.
Jenny's army also has 5,000 people, and the combination of troops is relatively complete, in addition to centaur warriors, dwarves and forest archers, there is also a large group of silver Pegasus warriors, deadwood warriors and unicorns, but unfortunately there are no powerful golden dragons.
"Now we have to do something to give hope to the people of Harmondale Forest!"
"What do you want to do, Yoland?" said Jenny, looking at Yoland.
"I want to take down the city of the waterfalls! What could be more exciting than retaking our capital? I have heard that the defenders of the city of the falls are only five thousand, and we still hope to take them!"
"I don't agree!" Jenny immediately stood up, "Even if we take the city of the waterfalls, it is surrounded by enemies, and it will be very difficult to defend it. Yoland, when you take the city, it does lift people up and give them hope! But when you have to withdraw from the city of waterfalls, it will pour cold water on their heads and make them lose hope again!"
Yolande didn't expect Jenny to oppose him in public. Didn't you say that the husband sings with the wife, didn't your mother tell you how to be a woman? He immediately became angry: "Then do not withdraw the army, firmly guard it, like a sharp knife into the heart of the enemy, let the golden dragon flag fly high in the enemy's occupied area!"
"Expose our strength too early, and Fiona will feel that the depth of his rear is not stable. If he turns around and goes back to Erie, the strength we have gathered so hard will be exhausted! Yoland, I think you are too impulsive, as our leader, you must stay calm!"
"Then what do you say!" said Yoland, huffing. He didn't expect Jenny to be very stubborn, she was not a woman at all, she was completely a fighter, where did all the gentleness in the afternoon go?!
"I have made an alliance with the Duke of Drino of Carava, and have borrowed four cities from him for the time being. The reason for the alliance is that he can't hold Kalava alone, and he wants to use my power to fight Fiona. I feel that we should use this as a foundation to gradually go deeper into the land of Eri and finally reclaim our homeland. Let's take a look!" Jenny pointed to the map, "These three cities are bordered by the borders of Eli and Kalava, and are currently in the hands of Fiona. With our current strength, we can completely take it back, attack it, and defend it. And Fiona's army is fighting Erathia in the east, and it can't do both!"
"I know these cities!" Yulande said, "The infrastructure is very weak, and there is not even a military camp built!"
"But when we take them, it also means victory, and we can also cheer everyone up! We have to be like brown bears in the forest, eating meat when we have meat to eat, and the roots and stems of plants to feed when we don't have meat. Tigers only eat meat, and when they don't have meat to eat, they will take risks, and they will lose their lives!"
Yolande has already made up his mind that he will beat her up when he returns to the tent at night! I am the king of the dwarves, and you are a queen at best, you know? I said what should be done, how dare you challenge my authority?!
It seems that Jenny is used to being arrogant, and everyone invisibly let her, which has developed her habit of self-righteousness. It seems that in addition to fighting, I have to teach you how to be a woman by the way!
But there seems to be some truth in what she said. After laying down the city of waterfalls, how to defend it in the future, this problem Yuland has not thought about. Because of this, he didn't refute Jenny again. If he continues to argue, he may not be able to speak more than Jenny, but it will make everyone feel that the two of them are not united.
Yolande was angry that Jenny didn't give him face at all! It's time to discipline her, or she won't pee on her head in the future?
Yolande said hatefully: "Okay, let's raise our hands to vote, if you agree with Princess Jenny, please raise your hand!"
There were so many people raising their hands that even Malaim and Kailin raised their hands. Yolander immediately glared at them, and Kaylin secretly put her hand down when she saw this.
Well, Marchem, see how I beat you up tomorrow!
This result made Princess Jenny very proud. She said beamingly: "It seems that there are more people who support me." ”
Don't be complacent, I'll beat you up later!" Yolande was thinking about it, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him with their eyes, he had to say in annoyance: "Then do what Princess Jenny said!"
Everyone applauded. An elder stood up and said, "A successful leader should be able to listen to the advice of others, and it seems that our future king also has this excellent quality!"
The applause was even louder, and even Jenny clapped her hands vigorously.
Hmph, do you clap your hands and think I won't hit you?!
"Actually, I think we have a very urgent matter that we must do right away!" the other elder stood up and said, "Everyone knows that Elago of House Reims usurped the throne after the death of our esteemed King Clonis. Although he had been killed in battle, he left behind his son, Solinger, whom he had with Her Royal Highness. Although Elago is an illegitimate child, he also has Targaryen blood. Therefore, Solinger is a potential rival to the throne of Eeri, and we must act before him, and if he takes the lead once he is the first to become king, it will make us very passive. ”
Yolande had already heard Ivo say that he also had a half-brother who was supposed to be less than twenty years old. He was actually a little worried, and immediately said, "What do you think should be done to my younger brother?"
The elder said, "You are the undisputed heir to the throne, and besides, you also have the King's Sword! In order to prevent accidents, I think you should claim the throne at once, and marry Princess Jenny! ”
"You're saying so well!" said Yoland, "to tell you the truth, I really don't know what to do with my brother, whom I have never met!
"The coronation of successive kings has been carried out in the Valley of the Sacred Trees, the southernmost part of the Hammondale Forest. Only by solemnly swearing under the sacred sacred tree and then exchanging rings with each other can you and Princess Jenny be truly married. ”
"I'm so proud to have you wise old men! Your wisdom is an incomparably precious treasure, and I hope you will always be by my side and give me advice! Without further ado, let's set off tomorrow, and contact all the dwarven families we can meet along the way, and our team will grow stronger and stronger!"
By the time the meeting was adjourned, the moon was already hanging high in the sky. Yolande followed Jenny into the tent, and within a moment, there was a commotion in the tent.
"That's what I'm like, what's wrong? Why don't you find a gentle woman to be your wife?"
"I'm the king of the dwarves, you know, you have to respect me, how can you confront me in front of everyone?"
"I'm the queen of the dwarves, you understand, you have to respect me, I won't refute you if you do something wrong, so who else dares to contradict you?!"
"If you don't support it, can't you come back and discuss it with me again?"
"You gave the wrong order, do you want to take it back the next day?"
"Anyway, you have done something wrong, and in any case, you have to save some face for your king, your husband! Didn't your mother tell you what to do with your wife?"
"Oh my God, what does this matter to my mother? Didn't your father tell you how to be a king and how to be a husband?!"
"My father told me that when a wife is disobedient, a husband has the right to beat him!"
"Dare you, get out of my tent at once, and don't lie on my bed again!"
"I don't dare?" yulland roared.
With the help of the projection of candlelight in the tent, a figure on the wall of the tent grabbed another figure horizontally, pressed it horizontally, and whipped it vigorously towards the high curve.
"Okay, you Yoland! It's only the first day, and you dare to hit me?" the other figure struggled to his feet, baring his teeth and claws, and immediately scuffled with the other figure!
"Go away, look at what!" said Everettin, shouting at the soldiers who were watching the excitement outside.
"Eufritin, shall we go in and persuade you?" said Marchem's expression was a little nervous.
"You are stupid, the two of them are fighting, you can persuade them, and then you can persuade them?"
"Looks like they're fighting hard! they're not going to kill anyone, are they?" said Marchem, still worried.
"Haven't you heard the saying that there is a fight at the end of the bed and the head of the bed? ”
Malkem, Kailin, and the others walked back slowly, looking back from time to time.
The shadows on the walls of the tent were still dancing and ping-pong, and I don't know how many things had been broken.
"Go, go, go, I'm not worried that Her Royal Highness the princess won't be able to beat her, what are you worried about?
"you!" Marchem spat out, "We'll find out tomorrow who cleaned up whom!"
......
After dawn, Malkem, Kailin, and the others were watching from a distance early in the morning.
Yolande also got up early in the morning and was roasting meat outside on the campfire. He looked up and saw the sneaky people, and immediately beckoned them to come.
"Brother, are you alright?" asked Kaelin.
"What do you mean, don't I look good?" asked Yoland, tilting his head.
"Not very good!" said Marchem, looking sympathetically at him, "your face, your neck, and your body...... Were those marks scratched by cats?"
Yolande smiled: "It turns out that some people say that women are cats, she will curl up in your arms when she is good, and she will always scratch people when she is not good, but now I believe it." To tell you the truth, I was stabbed in a few holes by her claws. ”
"Poor you......" Kaylin sighed.
"I'm not looking for a wife, at most I'm fooling around with a woman, but I'll never get married!" said Malkey, who also looked a little scared.
"Are you stupid! I don't think I'm pitiful, but I feel very happy. ”
"Bah, you're just underwhelmed!" Malkem glared.
"After that fight last night, I learned that being a husband is definitely not that easy. It turned out that I thought that beating my wife would make her obedient, but who knew that it was all wrong, she would fight against you, and she would beat her fiercer than you!"
"What then?"
"Coax her, just coax her, the more coaxed, the more obedient she becomes!"
Marchem scratched his head, showing incomprehension.
"That's what I ended up doing last night. A person cannot go down the wrong path to the end, and if he finds a mistake, he must turn back immediately. ”
"Yoland, haven't you made your barbecue yet?I'm hungry......" a lazy voice came from inside the tent.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Ulland jumped up immediately.
"I have to tell you, I also thought wrong about how to be a king, being a king is too tiring, it's not at all imaginary that you can do whatever you want, and there are still a lot of people who care about you......"
"Why haven't you come yet?!" Jenny shouted in the tent, and the sound of kicks and pounds on the bedboards.
"Come, servant Yolande offers a fragrant roast of meat to dear Princess Jenny!" said Yoland, picking up the curtain of the tent and entering.
"Shit!" Malkaem couldn't help but scold.
Kailin and the others didn't notice it.
