Chapter 334 Support

"This is it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Krisya nodded at the map of the former Redlis Kingdom that Schward had brought over: "This is a small valley in the Yunduan Mountains, less than a hundred miles away from the Great Snow Mountain. Your Majesty has taken us to prepare to cross the Yunduan Mountains again and return to the Kingdom of Antinac, and gather strength to make a comeback. The six thousand soldiers who followed His Majesty were the most loyal and elite, and after leaving the secret passage of the royal city of Federiga, there was a small stream and beach, which effectively concealed the traces left by our brigade of men and horses.

We waded along the creek for most of the day, a hundred miles from the royal city of Federiga, and then turned to the hilly terrain of the Yunduan Mountains, where the mountains and forests were dense, and we had a place to hide. However, His Majesty thought that it would be better to find a place for us to rest for a few months, and then when winter came, we would cross the Yunduan Mountains, so that we could return to the kingdom through the frozen hard cloud swamps.

When we opened the map of the kingdom of Redlis that we got from the palace, we were surprised to find that this small valley, less than a hundred miles away from the Great Snow Mountain, was actually the lord land, and it was marked with a barony called Clemondor. When we learned about it, we found that this Baron Climundo never seemed to be present at the court of the kingdom of Redlis, and no one had ever seen him.

His Majesty considers this baronial realm to be the best place to rest, and as long as the entrance to the valley is guarded, no one knows what is going on in the realm. So we marched to that valley, and one night we attacked and captured the small castle at the entrance of the valley. When we took possession of the little castle, His Majesty was ready to have someone go and inform the Baron named Clemundo to surrender, and the Knight Bowen Coti volunteered to go, but we did not expect that his head would soon hang on the outer wall of the Baron Clemundo's castle in the valley......"

Lorist knew that this golden knight named Bowen Coty was the confidant of His Royal Highness and one of the five tigers under his command, but he did not expect that he would be killed as an envoy to persuade him to surrender.

Chrisia had tears in her eyes: "We were all mad at that time, no nobleman would behave like this to kill the envoy, Your Majesty ordered us to attack the city immediately, and we must hang this Baron Climondo to avenge the knight Bowen Coty." After two months of fighting, we suffered nearly 5,000 casualties, and the knights of Heath Red also died on the city walls, and I was left with the thirteen golden knights who followed His Majesty out of the royal city, three of Lippired and Karitok, and the two great swordsmen who guarded His Majesty, one of whom was also killed, and one of whom was seriously wounded......"

Lorlist's eyes lit up: "Caritok is still alive?"

Caritok is a veteran of the Dawn Academy, who followed Lorlist's convoy north, and was poached by His Royal Highness when he passed through the Kingdom of Antinac, and became a royal knight of the Kingdom of Antinac. It's a pity that the twenty-six old students of the Dawn Academy and the Silver Knight who defected to the Second Highness together at that time fought under the command of the Second Highness for many years, and only Kalitok and Sende are still alive. Naturally, Loliste was pleasantly surprised to hear from Caritok.

Chrisia nodded, probably remembering the bloody battle and heavy casualties that took place in the valley, and tears fell again.

"Is that Baron Clemondo the Grand Prince, who has been hiding in this valley territory?" asked Lorlist.

Chrisia shook her head at first, then nodded: "Finally, we finally conquered the castle in the valley, and at that time we already knew through the captives that this Baron Climondo was the illegitimate son of the Grand Prince, and this valley territory was a back road that the Grand Prince had arranged for himself. There are still 3,000 elite soldiers of the Great Prince in the valley. The Grand Prince has been hiding here since he escaped from the royal city of Federiga, and has been watching us fight to the death with the nobles of the kingdom of Redlis, ready to make a comeback after our defeat. Unexpectedly, we also broke away from the royal city of Federiga along the secret path, and by mistake blocked him in this valley territory, forcing him to have a decisive battle with us......

We are all red-eyed, Your Majesty is almost mad, he never dreamed that he would fight with the eldest prince in this valley territory, and in anger he gave an order to kill more than 10,000 captives in this valley territory, all of whom were relatives of the enemy anyway. He himself vomited blood and fell into a coma after personally beheading the eldest prince and his illegitimate son, Baron Clemondo.

These 6,000 men and horses are the elite of His Majesty, and if they are brought back to the Kingdom of Antinac, they can easily regain military power and royal power, but they have suffered heavy damage in this valley territory, and the remaining only about 2,000 are mostly wounded. When His Majesty recovered from his injuries and recovered from his body, we got news from the outside world that the overall situation had been decided, and now returning to the kingdom would be sent to death. So we had to come to the Northland in disguise to ask for help from you, hoping that the Norton family would send troops to help His Majesty return to the throne. ”

Is the eldest prince finally dead? The eldest prince, who was the culprit of raising the flag and rebelling and provoking the civil war in the empire, and the second prince all died at the hands of the second highness. From this point of view, the Second Highness is really more like the protagonist than himself! Lorist let out a long breath: "Chrisya, you have been following His Majesty for nearly twenty years, you are his lover, so did he say an explanation to you?"

Chrisya's face flushed: "This, he said this, he said that he would marry me when the former empire was unified......"

"Queen or Princess?"

"What, what's the difference? Just be with Your Majesty. ”

"Chrisya, you're three years older than me, and you're not too young. If it was the former Norton family, then His Majesty marrying you as the princess is affectionate, do not forget your roots, and it is not in vain that you have followed him for so many years. But now, with the strength of the Norton family, if Your Majesty marries you as a concubine, it will be an insult to the Norton family, don't forget that you have the blood of the Norton family in your body, unless Your Majesty does not marry the queen and takes you as the eldest princess, then it is barely said in the past.

I'm not being alarmist, Chrisia, don't you realize that Your Majesty has always been jealous of the strength of our Norton family, and that was the case when he was still the Second Highness. It was our convoy of escorts that swept away the disobedient nobles of the Kingdom of Antinac and helped him take power of the kingdom, and since then he has been trying to use the power of our House of Norton at the expense of paying the price.

As a king, you have to be just and fair, but has Your Majesty done it? He has been painting us a big pie, seducing and making empty promises. Chrisya, do you think about what our Norton family has done to be sorry for Your Majesty? Back then, the northbound convoy was almost cornered by him, he poached so many knights from the convoy, but now there are still a few left? And the Kebo City incident of that year, we captured Kebo City, provided him with a large amount of food, solved the food shortage of his army, and only hoped that his army could defend Kebo City, and give our northbound convoy and a large number of displaced people to go to the Northland to buy time.

But what did he do, Christia, did you know that our Majesty sent troops over and then tore down the walls and withdrew, clearly trying to attract our northbound convoys and homeless people as targets to attract the enemy. We helped him so much, but he stabbed our family in the back, and since then, I no longer believe in His Majesty's character.

The island of Hilovas was his fiefdom for our family, but he allowed his tax collector, the viscount, to extort on the island, but he didn't ask, and he didn't know that the noble sons of those kingdoms had occupied the Wanghai Villa on the island. Do you believe that our Majesty really doesn't know in his heart? And what Viscount I killed, and what Count of his brother brought nearly a legion of men and horses to chase after him, do you think our Majesty really doesn't know? I don't believe it, he is pretending, and at the same time trying to knock down our Norton family and make us obedient.

I'm really tired of it, Chrisya, have you forgotten that our four great families defeated the second prince and divided the Northland and formed an alliance, I wrote to you back then, you may forget, but Your Majesty will also forget? Now let me be the Grand Duke of the Northland, and promise that all the Northland territories conquered by our Norton family belong to the Norton family, if I agree to this news, what will happen as soon as the news spreads?

This is purely to sow discord, the four major families in the Northland are now headed by our Norton family, if they hear that I have accepted His Majesty's order, will they suspect that I am attacking their Northland family's territory?

Chrisya hurriedly waved her hand: "No, Locke, you must have misunderstood Your Majesty, Your Majesty is unaware of many things, Your Majesty also told me about the Kebo City incident back then, he said that it was not that he didn't want to help you, but that his troops were insufficient at that time, and he couldn't throw the 10,000 horses in Kebo City in vain, so he ordered the 10,000 horses to tear down the city wall after making sure that you left." At that time, the commander of the army was Bowen Coty, who was worried about His Majesty's safety, so he demolished the city wall a few days early, but when he came back, he was scolded by His Majesty, and I was also present at that time, and His Majesty said that he was very sorry for the Norton family......

As for what happened on the island of Hilovas, Your Majesty really didn't know about it, you know that in the past two years, Your Majesty has been integrating the forces of the kingdom to prepare for the unification of the former empire, so naturally he will not pay attention to such a trivial matter. What that tax inspector, Viscount Aslan, did, really had nothing to do with His Majesty. After you killed him, his brother Count Aslan led his troops to hunt you down, angering His Majesty, who ordered Count Aslan to be confiscated and stripped of their titles. ”

Lorist shook his head: "Forget it, the past is all in the past, and there is no point in talking about it now." But Chrisia, is it your Majesty's will that you come so late to hear what I mean?"

"Yes, Your Majesty means that you are afraid that you will misunderstand him, so let me ask what conditions you need to send troops to help Your Majesty restore the country, as long as Your Majesty is not too willing to agree to all your requests. Chrisia said.

"Tsk, look, Chrisia, when is it now, Your Majesty still doesn't ask too much, think for yourself, is this what I said Your Majesty's jealousy of the Norton family? I want to ask what benefits Your Majesty can give the Norton family? Nominally, it will be exempted from painting a big pie. ”

"Locke, your attitude is excessive, don't forget that Your Majesty is your superior lord, as a lower lord, you must maintain the respect you deserve for Your Majesty!" Chrisia was furious.

"Okay, okay, okay. Chrisya, you go back and tell Your Majesty that the Norton family cannot send troops, but we can support Your Majesty's 100,000 gold fords and the standard equipment of a legion, which is the price that Your Majesty paid for our family's northbound convoy to help him sweep away the nobles of the kingdom, and the standard equipment of the White Lion Legion, there are still more than 72,000 pieces, and I will return them all to you as the Norton family's support for Your Majesty's recovery, so it should be the duty and duty of a lower lord, right?"

Lorist said impatiently that the standard equipment of the White Lion Legion was still taking up a lot of space in the family arsenal. The Norton family already had a lighter and stronger Sid steel armor, and they had long since looked down on this bulky and old-fashioned piece of equipment. Given the status of the White Lions in the former Krisson Empire, and the difficulty of selling these standard equipment, it was a chicken rib for Lorlist, because other alloys were added to the forging process, so much so that it was too much trouble to take them back to the furnace. simply take this opportunity to return all the standard equipment of the White Lion Legion to His Second Highness, so as not to damage the family armed forces by sending troops for his return to the country.

Chrisia jumped up in surprise: "Loroke, you, are you really willing to give all the standard equipment of the White Lion Legion to Your Majesty?"

In Chrisya's eyes, she didn't expect that Lorist would be willing to return the standard equipment of the entire White Lion Legion to His Second Highness, no matter what, a set of standard equipment of the White Lion Legion is cheaper to sell for sixty or seventy golden fords, more than seventy-two thousand sets, which is almost equivalent to five million golden fords, and Lorist can do this to this point It is the only one among the lower lords, and no one can say that he does not do his best......

"Really. Lorist said in his heart that it would be a burden to put in the arsenal anyway, and the head of Speer reminded him several times that it was time to dispose of these White Lion Legion's standard equipment, which was too much of a space.

"Then we're going to have to recruit troops in the family domain......" Chrisia then made another request.

"No need to talk!" Lorist refused, why should he recruit soldiers in my family territory, there is no such obligation: "You can recruit soldiers, but you can't recruit soldiers in the name of the Norton family." The clan army has its own rules for the conscription of the lords, and even His Majesty has no right to recruit the lords of the Norton family to shed blood for him!"

No nobleman has the right to recruit soldiers in other nobles' territories, and for any nobleman, the population of his territory is also his resource wealth. But if it is a recruitment, then there is no way, one side pays real money, and the other side goes to war for money, then it becomes a transaction, and the lord cannot stop it.

"Okay, it's okay to recruit soldiers, but Locke, you have to give us the 100,000 support of Kimford first, and if we go to recruit troops, you can't deliberately find trouble to obstruct our actions, and in the end, the supplies of the soldiers we recruited in the Northland will be paid by the Norton family first, is this okay?"

She thought very beautifully, with the standard equipment of this batch of White Lion Legions, plus the 100,000 gold fords, His Majesty will definitely be able to pull up an army of 60,000 or 70,000 people here. I didn't expect that there were so many people in the territory of the Norton family, as long as one person spent a goldford as a settlement fee, to ensure that there was an endless stream of soldiers who came to serve, and it was in this way that His Majesty in the Kingdom of Antinac and the Kingdom of Redlis used this means to raise an army of more than 300,000.

Lorist sneered: "Okay, you have the final say, I think now you can go and report back to Your Majesty." He would have been glad to get the news. ”

Watching Krisya leave happily. Standing beside Lorlist, Schward asked worriedly: "My lord, you returned all the standard equipment of the White Lion Legion to His Second Highness, and allowed them to join the army in the family territory, aren't you worried that they will make a mess or have any accidents in the family territory?"

Lorist laughed, "If you want to recruit troops in our family territory, I want to see how many people they can recruit." Of course, if someone in our family domain wants to do it, it is very simple, we will send his family to the barracks and cancel the house and land they have been allocated. Since they want to serve His Majesty, His Majesty will naturally settle the life of their family. We can't afford to let them take advantage of the Norton family's territory. ”

"Yes, my lord, you are so right. Schward laughed too.
