Chapter 535: Christopher Hills

“...... Now you see, your cousin, Queen Sissi, has concealed most of the truth when she writes to you asking for help, and she speaks of her love affair with the Knights of Wickus in a way that is to move you. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info actually she couldn't even figure out who the baby in her belly was......" Lorist stroked the soft, slender hair of Princess Celevia, which was nestled on her chest.

Princess Celivia raised her head, tears in her eyes, even if her cousin Princess Sissi lived a bad life and had many lovers, but after all, it was a corpse and two lives, and she still couldn't let go of it for a long time.

"I hate grandpa, how can he do it, Sissi is also his own granddaughter, the child is about to be born......" Princess Celivia choked up.

"Baby, don't be sad, let him go if it has happened......," Lorist comforted: "Actually, our Majesty the King doesn't know about Queen Sissi's affairs, it's just that he doesn't care about it." He is only united with your cousin for profit, to pull you Fisabrun family into his chariot, and by the way to balance our Norton family. So all he needs is a queen from the Fisabrun family so that your grandfather can stand with him.

If your cousin Sissi was self-aware, she wouldn't have bothered to find a lover, but she shouldn't have tempted the Knights of Vicus and was pregnant. You know that the Knight of Wickus is the illegitimate son of His Majesty and the heir of His Majesty's will. Queen Sissi seduces the Knights of Jersey while dating other lovers, but she has a big belly but doesn't know whose child it is, which is self-defeating.

His Majesty said that he had to prevent the birth of the child, because he feared that the child would be used to embarrass the Knights of Wickus in the future. So he could only make such a decision, although it was a little cruel and ruthless, but it was his only choice. Your grandfather is also very aware of this, we are nobles, not ordinary commoners, and we cannot tolerate certain things that exceed the rules allowed......"

Princess Celivia, though still a little sad, was not an unreasonable person, she lay on Lorist's chest and fell asleep. Lorist took her in his arms, gently placed her on the pillow next to her, covered her with a light velvet quilt, and then continued to lean on the head of the bed and think.

His Royal Highness came and went back in a hurry, his first purpose this time was to inform Lorist about what happened in the imperial capital, no matter how to say that Lorist was also the kingdom's Zhenguo Sword Saint, and he had to get Lorlist's support for many things. The second thing he hoped that Lorist would take Vicus as a disciple was paving the way for his illegitimate son. However, Lorist refused, saying that the disciple he wanted to accept must be sixteen years old, and he would serve as an attendant by his side for two years, and that he would only consider whether to accept him as a disciple after examining his character and character, and unfortunately, the Knights of Vanus did not meet Lorlist's requirements in any way.

The last thing His Royal Highness did was to inform the itinerary and arrange the date for the restoration ceremony to ascend the throne as emperor. Originally, His Royal Highness was going to hold a grand celebration ceremony half a year after the class returned to the imperial capital, announcing that he had restored and unified all the territory of the former Krisson Empire, reused the name of the Krisson Empire, and he would also ascend the throne as the Oroseg the Great who revived the empire.

It's just that I didn't expect that the incident of Queen Sissi's pregnancy just after returning to the imperial capital gave His Royal Highness a blow to the head, and after dealing with this royal scandal, His Royal Highness No longer has the face to hold any grand ceremonies in the short term, and even has no face to continue to stay in the imperial capital. He could only postpone the date of his accession to the throne as emperor, so he used the excuse of inspecting the entire territory of the empire to first go to the provinces to inspect the people's situation, and then marry a queen in the territory of the Fisabrun family, and finally return to the imperial capital to hold the enthronement ceremony.

In addition to these three things, His Royal Highness also wanted to see if he could reach an armistice with the business alliance and restore peace within these two years. He didn't want the enthronement ceremony to be disrupted by the business alliance two years later. However, Lorist told him very clearly that he should not have any hope of peace talks with the business alliance, and that it was better to carefully study how to completely destroy this enemy.

Now Lorist has to consider a report on the application submitted by the Autonomous Council of the City of Moronte, this time not asking for money, but asking the Norton family to reclaim the Cristo Hills, or to help the Autonomous Council. According to the report, the Cristo Hills have been a part of the city of Moriente since ancient times, and although barren, they are indispensable. It provided the city with firewood, charcoal, meat such as pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep and poultry, as well as coarse grains and fodder such as potatoes and oats, as well as many raw materials for production. The most important is the trade route from the Cristo Hills to the Titagini Mountains, which allows for the trade of goods with the Dwarven kingdoms, which is very important for the revival of the commercial economy of Moriente.

Lorist found that many times the plan did not change quickly, and even the plan could not keep up with the change in the situation. Just as His Royal Highness planned to gather a million troops to reach the border of the Faliqiu Plain, and prepare to force the merchant alliance to agree to his demands, return the occupied territory of the former Krissian Empire, and sign a peace agreement with a large number of troops. It's a pity that the Business Alliance only dispatched a Storm Sword Saint to make His Second Highness disgraced, and the two sides finally fought a bloody battle in the Mana Hill Plain for three years.

Another example is the Norton family's armed defeat of the Invincible Armada, landing in the Hidden Golden Bay, capturing the city of Moriente and the plain of Falis Hill, preparing to use this to coerce the business alliance to bow their heads and admit defeat, sign an armistice and restore peace. No one could have imagined that the Business Alliance would cleanly abandon the city of Morent and withdraw its troops from the Plains of Manahill, but as a result, Lorist stepped into the big pit of Morent City with the Norton family's armed forces, and there was no way to get out.

So Lorist had no choice but to start anew, preparing to set up a free alliance to compete with the business alliance, and for this purpose, he also invested a huge amount of 14 million Kingford in the city of Morent to increase the strength of the free alliance to be established. But the current situation is that the people who are in charge of the Autonomous Council in charge of the power of Moriente City are not stupid, they are all old treacherous people, they do not refuse to be in charge of the new Freedom Alliance, but they also understand that they cannot resist the attack of the Business Alliance without the support of the Norton Forces, so they are eager to let Lorist and the Norton Families Arms become as deeply involved as possible with the Freedom Alliance, and the report on the recovery of Christopher Hills is also for this purpose.

Lorist sighed, for him, the ideal situation is that the commercial alliance forces and the soon-to-be-formed free alliance forces will fight to the death in the Plains of Falis Hill, while the Norton family forces will watch the big drama in the back, and wait until the business alliance forces show any flaws before giving them a fatal blow, so that they can win without paying too many casualties, and they can also be regarded as saviors by the Freedom Alliance, that kind of ending is perfect.

But now the idea of the Autonomous Council of Morent City is to push the Norton family forces on the front line of the Falis Hill Plain to block the attack of the commercial alliance forces, so as to gain time for the development of the Freedom Alliance, seeing that the six free regiments have now formed and completed their training, and are ready to go to the six fortress cities of the Falford Plains to exchange guards with the defending Norton family forces, so they came up with the idea of recovering the Cristo Hills, which obviously does not want the Norton family forces to easily withdraw from the front line.

In a matter of more than five months, the Norton armed forces helped the Council of Self-Government of the City of Moronte to form six small free legions of 8,000 men. They were going to take over the six fortified cities on the Plains of Mana Hill, but now the report submitted by the Autonomous Council to recover the Cristo Hills stated that they hoped to send three free legions to recover the Cristo Hills with the help of the Norton family's forces, and two of the remaining three free legions would take over Thomas City and Gypsys City, and one would remain in the city of Morente.

They are all human spirits, and they have a good calculation. Lorist smiled bitterly, Thomas City and Gypsys City are the two closest fortress cities to the city of Moldent, the land around the city has been sorted out and pioneered, and it will soon be distributed to the residents of Moldant City who have purchased farmsteads for reclamation and planting, it can be said that they are two fortress cities that are very safe in the rear. The four fortified cities ahead are ready to face attacks from the Merchant Alliance. The guys in the Autonomous Council clearly wanted the Rock Legion to continue guarding the four fortified cities in front for them, so that they could withstand the advance of the Merchant Alliance's forces.

Besides, the Cristo Hills need three free legions to recover, the Business Alliance once divided the Cristo Hills into fifty-two territories and canonized fifty-two territorial nobles. But these canonized lords were not from the Chamber of Commerce, but people of high moral standing in the eyes of the inhabitants of the city of Moldon. For example, the deans of various colleges, retired civil servants who have served the city of Morient for most of their lives, and well-known scholars, experts and professors, pharmacists, etc.

It's just that most of these lords who have been canonized by the business alliance don't buy it, except for a very few lords who go to their own territories to work hard, many people don't even know where their territories are, and they are too much to burn the canonized documents. Refusal to accept titles and realms canonized by the Business Alliance. They said that the villagers living in the hills of Christopher were already miserable enough, so how could they think of themselves as lords to exploit them......

This is the current state of the Cristo Hills, and Lorist is no stranger to this place. When he was still a happy little mercenary in the city of Moldonte, he was often given errands to the Cristo Hills. In Lorist's view, the real reason for the poverty and misery of the villagers living in the Cristo Hills is the inaction of the business alliance back then, if the business alliance could carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in the Cristo Hills, then the villagers of the Cristo Hills would have been lifted out of poverty and become rich long ago.

However, Lorist also knew that the business alliance that was in full swing back then could not raise a huge amount of money to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in the Cristo Hills, and it was impossible for the business alliance led by the Chamber of Commerce to use Kingford to develop the Cristo Hills. I remember that just after the establishment of the Business Alliance, the army was dispatched to quell the rebellion of the mountain people in the Cristo Hills, and that war brought very heavy casualties to the seven giants of the Business Alliance.

Therefore, the major chambers of commerce do not have a good impression of the Cristo Hills, and even after more than a hundred years, they still regard the Cristo Hills as a wilderness. When the famous people in Morent City criticized their policy of not wanting to develop the Cristo Hills, the Seven of the Business Alliance simply canonized the Crist Hills to those who shouted the loudest, and you have the ability to develop them yourself!

According to Targar's investigation, recovering the Cristo Hills is as simple as sending a corps to the road. Because there were no defensive forces in the Cristo Hills. There are no decent territorial castles there, and the hill dwellers still live in the village. But the real difficulty was that after the reconquest, first, the legions had to be sent to garrison it, and secondly, there was a large package in the Cristo Hills, that is, the Port of Albany, which was burned clean by the Thunderstrike Fleet led by Admiral Sambarwood of the North Sea Fleet.

It is a seaport city located at the junction of the Cristo Hills and the Titagini Mountains, and it is also the only city in the Cristo Hills that connects the mountains to the sea. It is said that after it was burned down by Sambawood, there were still 50,000 or 60,000 refugees who lived by collecting wild fruits, collecting seafood and fishing on the beach.

Lorist tragically discovers that if he agrees to reclaim the Cristo Hills, it will be another big hole, and he may have to take on the responsibility of rebuilding Port Albany. However, the application submitted by the Autonomous Council of the City of Morent was also justified in the fact that the Cristo Hills were important sources of fuel, meat, coarse grains and raw materials for the production of the city of Morente, and could not but be included in the jurisdiction of the Free Alliance.

Now the relationship between the Norton family and the Autonomous Council of the City of Morent is very delicate, the two sides rely on each other and use each other, the Norton family has invested a huge amount of money in the city of Morent and naturally wants to have something in return, not to mention that the city of Morent will become the most important dumping and transit wholesale base for the goods and goods produced in the family territory in the future, so Lorist is not willing to arouse the resistance of millions of city residents in the city of Moronte, he needs the cooperation of the Autonomous Committee to help him maintain the commercial order of the city of Morent and become the enemy of the business alliance.

The Autonomous Council of the City of Morent regards the Norton armed forces as a safeguard against the armed invasion of the Commercial Alliance, and they also do not want the City of Morent to fall under the rule of the Chamber of Commerce of the Commercial Alliance again, it is a dark time, in this regard, the Autonomous Council and Lorist have the same purpose, and they are also willing to establish a free alliance independently. But under this premise, it also contains their selfish desire to preserve their armed forces and use the Norton family's armed forces as a shield.

After thinking about it, Lorist finally made up his mind to inform the Autonomous Council of the city of Morent tomorrow that the original plan of the six free legions to take over the six fortress cities in the Plains of Falis remained unchanged. Lorist needs to withdraw the Rock Legion and send it back to the family territory, after all, the four main legions of the family armed forces can't all stay here, and one of them must go back to look after the family home.

The city of Morent was garrisoned by El's Guards, who was born in the community of Morente City and was the boss of Ledos, so it was easier for him to communicate with the Autonomous Council. The Hunters are still responsible for patrolling and guarding the Plains of Manahill. As for the recovery of the Cristo Hills, let the Tiger Ross lead the Flying Tiger Legion to a trip, and I believe that the Autonomous Council of the City of Morent has nothing to say about such an arrangement.

On November 21, 1779 in the common calendar of the Gelinthia continent, before the onset of winter, the Norton family sent the Flying Tiger Legion to occupy the Cristo Hills, and the commercial alliance still did not react to this.
