Chapter 304: A Strange Situation

When Lorist and the Dina family returned to the port of their Lim, a regiment of the Rock Legion confronting him in front of the port had just had a skirmish with the troops of the Second Regiment of the Royal Guard. The reason for the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion was that a light cavalry force of nearly 1,000 people wanted to attack the camp sheltered by the Norton family, disperse the homeless, and prevent the homeless people from being sheltered by the Norton family......

After the warning was ineffective, in the face of nearly 1,000 cavalry rolling in on the horses, the Norton family soldiers guarding the camp did not hesitate to launch a counterattack with steel crossbows......

This will be the Second Legion of the Royal Guards and the Rock Legion in a lawsuit with the Rock Legion, and Finger will issue a righteous statement: If you don't heed the warning, you will not be able to kill if you don't heed the warning and approach the distance of 200 meters between the camp of the homeless people and the port of Qilin!

And the envoy sent by the Second Legion of the Royal Guards was so angry that his face was flushed: "We have a warrant from the ruling minister of the imperial capital to come and take over Qilin Harbor. Not only did your Norton family not cooperate, but you also forcibly seized Qilin Harbor and attacked our legionnaires, are you Norton family going to raise the flag of rebellion?"

Bodfinger sneered: "Keep your dog's eyes open, this is an official letter from Lord Baron Finstone, the city guard of Qilin Harbor, inviting our Norton family to garrison Qilin Harbor for three months. It was because of the unfavorable situation at the front and the displacements that Baron Findston feared for the safety of the port of Qilin that he invited us to garrison. At this time, those in power in the imperial capital still refused our Norton family's request to go to the front line to serve the kingdom, which really makes us wonder, what are you thinking in your heads?

His Majesty the King is trapped, you don't seem to care, from Yungeshandra Province your Second Royal Guard Corps has been delaying for more than a month to reach the imperial capital, the first time is not to set off to Cambona Province to break through the blockade line and get in touch with His Majesty the King again, but to divide most of the forces to seize the port of Qilin. Am I mad or are you mad? Is the port of Qilin so important? Is it possible to save His Majesty by occupying the port of Qilin? I would like to know what you are up to?

The Imperial Capital not only fought back, but ordered the defenders to abandon most of the fortresses and retreat in order to protect themselves, allowing the miscellaneous fragments of the commercial alliance to wreak havoc on the territory of the kingdom, killing people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil, forcing our people to abandon their homes and flee and become exiles! You still don't want our Norton family to take them in, what are you trying to do! His Majesty believes you in entrusting you with the administration of the kingdom, and is that how you repay him?"

The envoy was speechless by Bo Definger's question, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead: "This lord, those adults in the imperial capital also have their opinions, although His Majesty the King is trapped, there are still hundreds of thousands of elites under his command, and it is not so easy to fail." Qilin Harbor is also the port of the kingdom, and it would be too embarrassing for the kingdom to entrust it to a private armed garrison. Several adults in the imperial capital also sent us here because of this consideration, and now you can return Qilin Harbor to us, and with us here, you don't have to worry about the safety of Qilin Harbor. ”

"Then how do you settle the account of sending a thousand horsemen to attack our camp of exiles today?" Bodfinger was so powerful that he didn't want to just give up the city defenses of Qilin Harbor.

At this time, Lorist strode into the tent, and Bodfinger hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"We can give up the port of Qilin to you, but we must set up a camp camp on the beach three or four miles away from the port of Qilin to collect the refugees, and we will take care of our own affairs, and no one will delay anyone. Tell the people behind you that as long as you don't infringe on the interests of the Norton family, the Norton family has no intention of being hostile to you. Of course, you are not allowed to set foot in the vigilant range of our Norton family's armed forces, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

The messenger received Lorlist's promise and happily returned to report. As for the 1,000 centaurs who died in the battle two days ago by testing the Norton family's armament, no one will take them to heart, and if they get Qilin Harbor, then another few thousand centaurs will be a trivial matter for the big people in the imperial capital, and the important thing is that their purpose has been achieved.

"My lord, why do you want to give up the port of Qilin?" said Bodfinger very unwillingly.

Lorist pulled out a newspaper and threw it in front of him. When Bodfinger opened it, it was the July 27 issue of the daily newspaper Morente, with the headline at the front of the headline "The coalition forces have conquered the royal city of Federiga, and the whereabouts of King Andinac are unknown......

"Second Highness, he ......" Bo Finger was shocked.

"Look at the headline below......" Lorist said.

Bodfinger bowed his head, but saw the headline below the newspaper was that the business alliance was reorganizing the negotiation team, preparing to visit the Kingdom of Antinac, and the dawn of peace returned. Looking at the following report, it is a reporter who analyzes that after the coalition forces conquered the royal city of Federiga, although the whereabouts of the second highness have not been found, there is reliable information that the king of the Antinac kingdom is seriously ill and cannot appear on the battlefield, and now that the royal city has fallen, it is believed that this new god of war will soon fall into the net.

The reporter believes that the reason why the Commercial Alliance sent troops to the Cambona Province of the Kingdom of Redlis is because the military god of the Kingdom of Andinac has been threatening the Commercial Alliance with a huge military force of 300,000 troops, and does not accept the fact that the Duchy of Rum is included in the jurisdiction of the Commercial Alliance. In order to sober up the young king, the Business Alliance sent troops to Cambona Province, so that the young military god could see what the strength of the Business Alliance was.

Now that the army of the Kingdom of Antinac against the Kingdom of Redlis has been completely annihilated, the whereabouts of His Majesty the King, who is the main force in the battle, are unknown, and the remaining garrison in the Kingdom of Antinac is less than 100,000, which is more than enough defense and insufficient attack. The Business Alliance believes that this battle has been going on for too long, so they have organized a negotiating team to prepare to set off for the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Antinac to negotiate the preconditions for peace......

"Understood?, the idea of those adults in the imperial capital to attack Qilin Harbor is not to occupy some territory like us, but to worry that their reception of the negotiators of the business alliance will be leaked out, and they will be burdened with traitors. I'd love to see what His Second Highness's face will look like when he learns about the private plans of his ministers......" Seeing Bodefinger finish reading the newspaper, Lorist said sarcastically.

"My lord, do you think those people in the imperial capital know that His Royal Highness has been defeated and the whereabouts of the royal city of Fei Deliga are unknown?" asked Bodefinger.

"I don't know, but those people in the imperial capital must have colluded with the business alliance, or they maintained a tacit understanding, and they are together under the Second Highness of the pit. Now let's take a step back and see what the hell they're up to. If you read in the newspapers that the Business Alliance is organizing a negotiation mission to visit the Kingdom of Antinac, the easiest way is to take a boat to the port of Qilin, where you can go ashore to reach the imperial capital. That's why the big men in the imperial capital regarded Qilin Harbor so important, and they didn't hesitate to send most of the Second Legion of the Royal Guards to force us to leave Qilin Harbor. In the current situation, I don't want to turn against these stupid people, so I'll bear with it first. ”

The Norton clan simply handed over the defense of their Limn Harbor to the Second Regiment of the Royal Guards, and then re-established a large camp on the beach three or four miles away from Qilin Harbor to the west, collected the fleeing homeless, and built a simple dock on the beach to send the homeless people directly to the island of Hilowas.

Ten days later, the heightened Maritime Legion had anchored two ocean-going merchant ships more than twenty miles from the port of Qilin, and it was the negotiating group of the Merchant Alliance and their retinue escorting them that had departed from the city of Morente. Interestingly, when the members of the negotiating team, who were originally very arrogant and arrogant, heard that it was the Norton family's maritime legion, they suddenly became very well-behaved, answered all questions, and smiled and said that they were invited by some adults in the imperial capital to come to discuss the war between the two countries in the kingdom of Ridleys and find a way to peace.

Sambawood informed Lorist of the information obtained after inquiring about the negotiating team, Lorist touched his chin and thought for a long time, instructed that the negotiating team be released, and ordered Bodfinger to end the recruitment of displaced people, and the whole army withdrew to the island of Hilowas, leaving no more soldiers in his Limn Harbor, and at the same time let the already reorganized garrison of Limn Harbor go back to report to Baron Finston.

"My lord, we are no longer meddling in the affairs of Qilin Harbor?" asked the Governor of Hansk on the island of Shilowas.

Loris nodded: "I feel very strange about the current situation, if our family forces are still staying in Qilin Harbor, maybe they will become a nail in everyone's eyes, so let's just retreat completely and see what they want to do." To intercept the negotiators of the Business Alliance is to say hello to them, to show the existence of our Norton family, and to let the Negotiators of the Business Alliance know that the affairs of the Kingdom of Andinac cannot be agreed upon by us. ”

On 20 August, the imperial capital sent an emissary to the island of Hilovas, who brought a document and asked Lorist to sign it. Lorist picked up the document and looked at it, this is a proposal, because the former king Ogsero, that is, the second highness, is unknown in the royal city of Federiga in the kingdom of Redlis, and the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, so all the nobles of the Kingdom of Andinac signed a proposal to let Princess Kerry temporarily ascend the throne and sign a peace agreement with the Fort Business Alliance to end this desperate war.

Lorist smiled and refused to sign it, and the emissary threatened that if the Nortons refused to sign, they would be expelled from the nobility of the Kingdom of Antinac and not recognized by the imperial capital.

Lorist said that the upper lord of the Norton family is the Antinac royal family, that is, His Majesty the King, and now His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, his life and death are unknown, the Norton family has no face to serve others, and Princess Carey is far from being qualified to become the upper lord of the Norton family, although Princess Carey also has the blood of the Andinac royal family, but she is far from being qualified to become the upper lord of the Norton family.

The messenger left, but Lorist did not expect that the next development would be so strange, and after more than half a month, Lorist received information and changes in the situation made him dumbfounded.

The kingdom of Redlis was gone, the province of Majik was annexed to the Duchy of Handla, and the provinces of Andróv, where the royal city of Federiga was located, became the new territory of the Fort Commercial Union, of which the province of Portoorg became the domain of the Vicia Chamber of Commerce.

The northwest region of the former kingdom of Redlis and the province of Hansdemos of the Kingdom of Antinac, that is, the province where the Barony of Dina is located, merged to form a Duchy of Zthuram, whose Grand Duke is said to be a territorial nobleman of the former Kingdom of Redlis, who once led the alliance of nobles to defeat the 70,000 army of the Second Highness by flooding, and is known as the new military master.

The two southwestern provinces that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Antinac also established a United Duchy of Bullitt, which was ruled by three Grand Dukes, one was the president of the Bullitt Chamber of Commerce, a second-rate chamber of commerce of the Business Alliance, one was the head of a famous mercenary group of the Business Alliance, Dragon Talon, and the other was the military nobles of the Duchy of Delia who was annexed by the Commercial Alliance in the Battle of Glass.

Now that the Andinac kingdom is ruled by the queen, Princess Carey has ascended the throne, and the peace agreement she signed with the merchant alliance not only cedes the two southwestern provinces obtained from the former kingdom of Redlis, but also cedes the province of Hansdemos, which has always belonged to the kingdom of Andinac. The Kingdom of Andinac was left with only the central province of Verbasia, where the imperial capital was located, and the province of Yungeshandra, which was acquired from the Duchy of Madras.

Today, the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Antinac has become a border city, bounded by the Liushui River in the east and the port of Qilin in the west. The most bizarre thing is that on the map of the newly divided Kingdom of Antinac, the island of Hilovas was not even divided, that is, the Kingdom of Antinac ruled by Princess Carey did not recognize the Norton family as belonging to the kingdom, to put it mildly, Lorist is now a wild nobleman, and he has no upper lord.

"What the hell is going on?" Lorist scratched his head, a little confused about the current situation.

Bodfinger and Governor Hansk, on the contrary, were very happy.

"My lord, our current situation is the same as that of the former founding emperor of the Crisson Empire, no one is in charge, and what the Andinac royal family is doing now is to voluntarily relinquish jurisdiction over the Norton family and no longer recognize us as their subordinate lords. Just like Count Cleison hundreds of years ago. However, the Earl of Crisson was exiled and then abandoned, and he recruited troops in the Northland and Northeast to build a powerful empire. We are in a much better position now than we were then. Governor Hansk said happily.

"Do you mean that now that the territories that our family has conquered are all belonging to the Norton family, no one will jump out and accuse us of rebellion?" Lorist asked.

"Yes, my lord, you see that the Kingdom of Antinac has not even been divided into the map of the kingdom of Hilovas Island, and it is clear that it will not welcome us, as long as the Lord gives an order, I will immediately take Qilin Harbor and send troops to the imperial capital. Boderfinger said.

"Can such a big pie fall in this world?" Lorist touched his chin and said, "Wait a minute, train our family weapons first, and then I'll see who to cut first." It's a little weird, Targer!"

"My lord, I'm here. Targar came in through the door.

"Now that the war in the Kingdom of Redlis has subsided, you have Volibel's investigators vigorously infiltrate the royal city of Federiga to see if you can find the whereabouts of the Second Highness. I always feel that His Royal Highness will not be finished so soon, so let's go and find it, lest His Second Highness will come out of nowhere to cause us trouble when we let go of our hands and feet in the future. Lorist commanded.

"Yes, sir. Tagger replied, and at the same time made a throat-cutting motion: "My lord, if you find it, do you want to do this?"

Lorist shook his head: "Just find a return, don't make your own decisions, it's not something you can decide, understand?"

"Yes, sir. ”
