Chapter 346 Letters

Lorist pondered the urgent letter from Tiger Ross, which was signed by Bodfinger and Earl Kenmeth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The main content of the info letter is threefold, one is to tell about the liquidation order issued by the Second Highness and the tragic experience of the nobles of the imperial capital, and the other is that the Second Highness came to the military camp to demand that the Norton family fulfill the obligations in the oath before withdrawing the army. The third is to make some inappropriate requests, but they have been rejected by Tiger Ross.

Lorist was indifferent to the liquidation order issued by His Royal Highness, and he did not have a good impression of the nobles in the imperial capital. These nobles are already decaying, and if they want to revive the Kingdom of Antinac, it is necessary to sweep away the garbage and the bedbugs that lie on the kingdom and suck the blood. If Lorist and the Second Highness change seats with each other, then Lorist will do the same, but the means may be milder, not as extreme as the Second Highness, directly bloodbathing the entire aristocratic class in the imperial capital, it can also be said that the Second Highness unscrupulously used the most brutal and bloody methods to accumulate a huge amount of wealth for himself on the blood and corpses of these imperial nobles enough to deal with the crisis of the kingdom.

The position of man is indeed determined by the position of his ass, like Tiger Ross, who was only a civilian officer who had retired from the disbandment of the White Lion Legion when he first joined the northbound convoy, and after seven years of civil war in the Empire, he hated all the nobles, believing that it was their greed and injustice that led to the demise of a mighty empire. Therefore, after the agreement between the northbound convoy and the Second Highness, he swept away the territorial nobles of the Kingdom of Antinac with the most resolute execution, and personally hoisted thirty or forty rebellious territorial nobles on the gallows.

Ten years have passed since then, and as the Golden Knight of the Norton family, Tiger Rose has become a quasi-nobleman, and with Lorlist's promotion to Grand Duke of the Northlands, he is confirmed to have a place in the forthcoming barony. So this guy turned into a model of aristocratism and demanded strict requirements for himself, so that his actions could conform to the standard etiquette of the nobility. Therefore, His Royal Highness's purge of the nobles in the imperial capital made him furious, thinking that His Royal Highness's move was insulting the nobles, and he couldn't wait to find His Royal Highness to fight hard.

People are always changing, and they wanted to kill all those nobles at the beginning, but now they are proud to be one of the nobles. I forgot to mention that after this guy captured the imperial capital, he found four noble ladies to be lovers, and this time he also rescued the families of the four lovers.

But Lorist thought about it and felt that there was nothing to complain about, and so did himself. If you say that you are a loyal territorial nobleman of the Kingdom of Andinac, you are simply slapping yourself in the face. Isn't he the most important thing about the interests of the Norton family? Perhaps in the eyes of the king of the Second Highness, he is more hateful than those nobles of the imperial capital who have been liquidated by him, and it is nothing more than the strength of the family and the domination of the northern land that makes the Second Highness a rat jealous.

So His Royal Highness made some moths again, and the second thing mentioned in the letter was this. The Second Highness did not say that the Norton family did not defeat the imperial capital and let him regain the throne to show that he had fulfilled his obligations, but made him the king of the Kingdom of Antinac, but this Kingdom of Antinac was not a kingdom that was emasculated by Queen Carey, and the provinces that were ceded out must return to the territory of the kingdom.

In other words, the three provinces ceded by Queen Carey in order to sue for peace have not been recovered, and His Royal Highness does not recognize that the Norton family has fulfilled his obligations in the oath. Hehe, Lorist sneered, this is a trick, His Royal Highness really doesn't even want the face of the king, he directly becomes a scoundrel, the purpose is very simple, that is, he wants the Norton family to be armed to conflict with the business alliance and the four central principalities, on the one hand, to consume the strength of the Norton family, on the other hand, it is good to fish in the water behind his back.

Lorist looked at the map, after the Hansdemoth Province of the Kingdom of Andinac was ceded out, it formed the Duchy of Zturam with the northwest region of the original Redlis Kingdom, and its Grand Duke was an earl of the Andwerf Province of the former Redlis Kingdom, and flooded the 70,000 troops of the Second Highness in Majik Province, so that the Second Highness's command, known as one of the Five Tigers, was known as one of the Golden Knights, and the Guard, Ballo, died on the battlefield due to shame. Speaking of which, this Grand Duke of Zturam can also be regarded as the enemy of His Second Highness.

The two southwestern provinces of the former kingdom of Redlis were ceded to the Kingdom of Antinac due to the defeat of the Great Prince, and later ceded by Queen Carey to form the United Duchy of Bullitt, which ruled by three archdukes who had been promoted for their outstanding achievements in the war against His Royal Highness. Obviously, whether it is the Duchy of Zturam or the United Duchy of Bullitt, they are all placed in front of the Fude Business Alliance as a buffer with the Kingdom of Antinac, and it seems that the Business Alliance is also just in case, and they also anticipate the possibility that His Royal Highness will make a comeback and reascend to the throne.

It seems that the rulers of these two principalities are in a life-and-death relationship with His Second Highness, and it is most unlikely that they will compromise with His Second Highness, and of course, the business alliance behind them will not support them to compromise with His Second Highness. The Second Highness is now a scoundrel, demanding that the two southwestern provinces and the three Hansdemoth provinces be recovered before the Norton family has fulfilled its oath obligations, which actually represents the Second Highness's uneasiness towards these two principalities. He was afraid that as soon as the Norton family forces withdrew, the two principalities would send troops to attack, and without the two southwestern provinces and the Hansdemus province, the imperial capital would be equivalent to the front line, which would be extremely unfavorable to the second highness to reintegrate the kingdom.

His Royal Highness has a really good idea, let the Flying Tiger Legion and the Rock Legion attack the Duchy of Zturam and the United Duchy of Bullitt, even if the three provinces are recovered, he can find an excuse to let the Flying Tiger Legion and the Rock Legion stay there temporarily, and then he can sit back in the rear and watch the reinforcements of the Commercial Alliance and the Norton family fight to the death, not only consuming the strength of the Norton family, but also taking advantage of the exhaustion of the two sides to take the territory of the original Redlis Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Lorist didn't mind sweeping away these two principalities, after all, these two principalities had only been established for a few years, and without the background of the Duchy of Madras, it was really easy to destroy these two principalities with the attack power of the Rock Legion and the Flying Tiger Legion. The only thing I'm worried about is that Grand Duke Zthuram, it's not easy for anyone who can make His Second Highness suffer a big loss. However, if the Rock Legion is responsible for attacking the Duchy of Zthuram, I believe that the old Cheng of Bodfinger will make the Grand Duke of Zthuram have nothing to do, and there are no big rivers in Hansdemoth Province, and some are just valley basins, which is just suitable for the Rock Legion.

It's just that Lorist is very annoyed that His Royal Highness has made inches, and the reason why he insisted on returning to the throne despite the opposition of many retainers and knights is not just to let His Royal Highness attract the attention of the business alliance and the Central Four Duchy, so that the future great enemy, Grand Duke Fisabrun, will not be able to get support from the Central Four Duchy. Rather, as a superior person, you must consider the overall situation.

Lorist does not deny that he has the intention of being the king of Jianguo, and he is from another world, and he has done his best to integrate into this vindictive world. No matter how his soul comes from an ancient oriental country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, maybe the original owner of his body will be a diehard loyalist of the Andinac royal family, but he is not, and now he has created an unprecedented new situation for the Norton family, becoming the grand duke of the Northland to dominate the entire Northland has never been imagined by the ancestors of the Norton family. In this respect, Lorist is already very worthy of the Norton family.

Similarly, in the eyes of outsiders, the Norton family has become the most staunch and powerful supporters of His Second Highness, and Lorlist's actions cannot find anything to blame, except for His Second Highness, who has secretly suffered a big loss, but he has suffered a lot, so he will play a scoundrel regardless of the king's face.

Gifting the standard equipment of the Second Highness's legion, dispatching the family to capture the imperial capital and let the Second Highness regain the throne, all of this Lorist has done perfectly, just to turn his face with the Second Highness in the future, which is beyond reproach. The road to the crown is tortuous and full of thorns, there is sunshine and darkness, but as a king, it should give people a sense of fairness, and any moral flaw will be the fatal crux of a dynasty founder. This was the most important reason why Lorist rejected the proposal of his retainers and knights to keep His Second Highness in the Northlands.

His Royal Highness is now dying, and his bloodbath of the aristocracy of the imperial capital will only make the nobles more and more detached, and even the nobles who defect to him in the future will not be ...... Lorist picked up a piece of paper and began to write back, telling Tiger Ross and Bodfinger that they could attack the two principalities and recover the city of Hansdemoth and the southwestern provinces of the restored kingdom of Antinac. Anyway, a hundred steps have already taken ninety steps, so you might as well finish the last few steps and let the Second Highness have nothing to say.

However, Lorist also made a request, after attacking these two principalities, within fifteen days His Royal Highness must send men to take over the defense of these three provinces, otherwise the Norton family forces will withdraw on their own, and no longer care about the war on the front line. Lorist also specifically pointed out that Count Kenmeth could be allowed to negotiate with the Second Highness, and if the Second Highness did not agree, then Tiger Rose and Boderfinger would come back with a pat on the ass. If there are people who don't want to block the way, or if they want to stay, they will be killed. Shameless, since the Norton family can kill these two legions in the imperial capital, then they will definitely kill it back.

As for the third point of the Second Highness, Lorist praised them for refusing very well, why should they offer the Thunderbolt Catapult and the Chariot Steel Crossbow to the Second Highness, such a weapon of war does not even have the three allies of the Northland, how did the Second Highness open his mouth? Is it just because he is the king of the kingdom? Hehe, or Tiger Ross said clearly, this is the secret weapon of the Norton family, if you want to get it, go to war, declare us rebel and then defeat us to have a chance.

Lorist wrote a reply and beckoned Schward to hang the letter at the eagle's feet, and it took the eagle only one day and one night to reach the island of Shilowas, and about three days for the messenger to deliver the letter to Tiger Ross and Bodfinger. This is many times faster than the Count of Kenmeth who wrote a letter to Lorist in the imperial capital and then sent his attendants all the way to the horse, and it took seventeen days to deliver it to Lorlist.

After making a decision, there was no need for Lorist to worry about the Flying Tiger Legion and the Rock Legion, he believed that Tiger Rose and Bodfinger would not disappoint him, not to mention that there was a profiteer, Earl Kenmeth, who stayed with them, and it was impossible for His Royal Highness to bargain anything from them.

This will be very busy, how to canonize and transfer the territory of Demke Province, how to develop the eastern part of Northland, and how to congratulate him on the official opening of Northland Dawn College, which has been completed on August 15. The first criminal code of the family domain had been drawn up and he had to review it, as well as the newly formed Chasseur Regiment, and find time to spend time with the new mother Diliana and her seven-month-old son. Lorist can't wait for himself to have a doppelganger.

The most disturbing thing is that there is a rumor circulating in the territory that Lorist is very angry because the Grand Duke of Fisabrun refuses to marry Princess Celivia to him, so he regards the Fisabrun family as a mortal enemy and has to destroy the Fisabrun family......

The first time my brother heard this rumor, it was Tagger who came to report it, and told the rumors in the market, after all, it was no secret that Lorist went to Windbri City to ask the Grand Duke of Fisabrun to marry Princess Celivia and was refused, and the Grand Duke's request was well known to everyone. Although many people think that their lord is a nobleman who is affectionate, righteous and responsible, and refuses to abandon his concubines and children, there are also many people who think that compared with the noble Princess Celivia, those concubines and children are not worth cherishing, and the lord should not give up the marriage with the Fisabrun family.

Originally, this matter was just the gossip of the people in the tavern, and no one cared. But as Lorist learned about the strength of the Fisabrun family and began to make targeted arrangements, I don't know when the lord became angry because of the refusal of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, and was ready to attack the Fisabrun family and snatch Princess Celivia back as the Grand Duchess, this rumor is also very in line with the wishes of the people in the family territory, and it spreads more and more widely......

Lorist was so angry that his nose was not his nose, his mouth was not his mouth, and he couldn't find anyone if he wanted to get angry. It's clear that Celivia took a fancy to me first, why did I go on a big fight for beauty?

Targar watched from the side, asking if he wanted to ban this rumor circulating in the family domain, or if he wanted to arrest all the spreaders and serve them in hard labor?

Lorist sighed and said with a dark face Forget it, let others say it if they like to say it, let them say it if their mouth is long on their faces, and forbidding them to speak by force will make them affirm this matter in their hearts, rumors stop at the wise, not to mention that this is just his own private matter, as the Grand Duke of the Northland, he should have the consciousness of letting others gossip behind his back......

On August 19, 1777 in the Galinthia calendar, the Flying Tiger Legion and the Rock Legion of the Norton family suddenly launched an attack on the United Duchy of Bullitt, which swept through the two southwestern provinces in less than 17 days, and the United Duchy of Britt was killed in battle, and the Duchy was destroyed.

On 8 September, the Rock Army launched an attack on the Duchy of Zthuram, and the Grand Duke of Zthuram led the Duchy's army out of the province of Hansdemos, where they confronted the Rock Army in the northwest. On September 32, the Flying Tigers and the Rock Legion handed over the two provinces of Southwestern and Hansdemoth to the White Lion Legion of the Kingdom of Andinac and the newly reorganized Royal Guards respectively, and embarked on their return journey to the Northlands......
