Chapter 415: Meeting

The trumpet sounded, and outside the city of King Windbrie, Lorist held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness the Second Highness, Prince Sisi, and the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. www.biquge.info Standing beside him was Princess Celivia, who heard that her godmother, the Great Swordsman of Cindy, was coming to see her, and Princess Celivia was so excited that she pestered Lorist to go to meet her.

Standing beside Lorist were Duke Kenmeth and Count Shahin, while Count Philim and Tiger Rose of the Flying Tiger Legion escorted the Second Highness back together.

Fat Man and Viscount Edith, the acting lord of King Winderbrie, were also standing behind Lorlist, and the two were arguing fiercely with their voices down. Viscount Edith understood Lorlist's intention to appoint him as the acting lord of King Windbrie, hoping to restore the prosperity of King Windbrie's former No. 1 livestock trading center in the northeast with his commercial talents. The quarrel with Fat Shi was due to the fact that the two had different opinions about the layout of the new livestock trading market in King Windbury.

Shi Fatzi thought that this new livestock trading market could be placed outside the city to avoid having a bad impact on the residents of the city, after all, a large number of livestock entered the city, which had a great impact on the environment, and it was because of the impact on the surrounding environment that the second prince ordered the market to be demolished. Viscount Edith believes that at present, there are few people in King Winston, and there are few residents to talk to, so the main reason for arranging this trading market in the city is to ensure safety. As for environmental pollution, a large area can be specially planned in the city to avoid affecting people's livelihood.

However, Shi Fatzi retorted that although the city of Windbrie was now sparsely populated, it did not mean that it was still sparsely populated after the market was opened, and merchants and craftsmen who had heard the news would naturally flock to settle in the city. Governance needs to be forward-looking, and placing the livestock trading market outside the city will avoid the relocation of the livestock market again, so that the urban population will increase without moving the trading market around, otherwise it will be much more troublesome to relocate at that time.

However, Viscount Edith believes that placing the trading market outside the city is a great threat to the city's defenses, and it is very undesirable from the perspective of security. Shi Fatzi said proudly that no one in the Northeast dares to offend the majesty of the Norton family at present, and as long as there is a Norton family's armed area, security is not a problem......

Although Viscount Edith was worried, he still adopted his idea of placing the livestock trading market outside the city under the strong force of Shi Fatzi. However, he was very skeptical that it would take many years for the huge city of Windbury to return to its former street glory. Seeing his worried look, Shi Fatzi secretly told him that Lorist was going to send troops to attack the four principalities in the middle of the country, and that the handicraftsmen and small leather traders who had plundered would be arranged here, and the recovery of the royal city of Windbrie would not be far off. Viscount Edith turned his worries into joy.

A light cavalry appeared in the distance, and seeing the welcoming crowd on this side, he felt for his horn and blew a long trumpet. Second Highness, they have arrived.

"Playing music!" commanded Viscount Edith.

The welcome song sounded, which was the most solemn etiquette for the lower lord to welcome the upper lord. Lorist sat on the horse, with no expression on her face, but Princess Celivia beside her, with a look of longing, it seemed that she missed her godmother Cindy Archswordsman very much.

A galloping horse appeared on the avenue in the distance, but it was His Royal Highness who heard that Lorist was waiting for him and galloped first. From afar, he shouted enthusiastically: "Haha, Locke, my brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it makes me want to die." ”

You don't want to kill me, you just want me to die. Lorist muttered in his heart, but he had to dismount first and stand on the road and salute: "Your Majesty, your loyal servant salutes you!"

The galloping horse man stood up, and the second highness pulled the reins hard, flew down, and strode forward to hug Lorist: "Locke, my brother, are you okay?"

Lorist also warmly hugged His Royal Highness and said with a smile: "My Majesty, I am finally relieved to see that you are safe and sound." You must know that after getting the news that you went to the territory of the Fisabrun family, I couldn't eat or sleep, and I was worried about it, and I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until now. Your Majesty, as the king of the Kingdom of Antinac, you can't be so risky and willful in the future......"

The Second Highness looked at Lorist's red face, and said in his heart, Is this a sign that you can't eat or sleep well? I think you wish I wouldn't go back, but there was a very sorry expression on his face: "Okay, Locke, you know that if I say in advance that I will go to the territory of the Fisabrun family, you will definitely stop me." The future of the kingdom is at stake, and I have to take such a risk. Fortunately, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun understood the righteousness, realized his way, and returned to the embrace of the kingdom, and my willfulness this time was also rewarded. ”

Lorist didn't smile on his face, he looked at the Grand Duke of Fisabrun and the Immortal Swordsman beside him who were riding behind His Second Highness, and said with a faint smile: "This is really gratifying, Your Majesty, you were able to subdue the famous steppe army god, it is really beyond my expectations." I originally thought that if you had three long and two short, you would send troops to the Eastern Wilderness Province to uproot the Fisabrun family......"

This was said very politely, and it was also very loud, and it was obviously heard by the Grand Duke of Fisaburun and the Grand Swordsman of Xiandi, who had just dismounted. Grand Duke Fisabrun only shook up, and his face was expressionless. And the Immortal Great Swordsman beside him was enraged: "You dare?"

Lorist laughed and asked, "What do you say?Immortal Great Swordsman, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that you are doing well in the imperial capital......

The face of the great swordsman of Xiandi turned blue and white for a while, and she suddenly remembered that she had been taken prisoner by Lorist in the swamp of Egret Lake, and now she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in the face of Lorlist. Even if the Grand Duke of Fisabrun stood by her side, she would not dare to draw her sword against Lorlist. Fortunately, at this time, Princess Celivia behind Lorist twisted Lorist fiercely, rushed up and threw herself into the arms of the great swordsman of Cindy, resolving this embarrassment.

"Uh......" His Royal Highness came forward: "Brother Locke, I know that the relationship between the Norton family and the Fisabrun family is not very good, and there was a war the year before last. But now the Grand Duke of Fisabrun has returned to the kingdom and is willing to do his best for the cause of unifying the empire. And you have also married Princess Celivia, and we have become relatives. Therefore, Brother Locke, you should have a large number of adults, and as the Grand Duke of the Northland of the kingdom, you should set an example for all the nobles. As the King and your brother, I also hope that your Norton and Fisabrun families will be reconciled and that the people of the northeastern part of the kingdom will live a peaceful and happy life......"

Lorist really wanted to smash a punch in the face of the Second Highness, what is it called cheap and obedient, look at his current appearance, it's amazing, right, I thought that with the Fisabrun family, the waist would be straight, who knows what the old fox of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun had in his heart, do you really think that the Fisabrun family will be so honest to surrender to you, the king? The old guy just wants to break the game.

However, looking at the sincere expression on the face of the Second Highness, Lorist calmed down immediately, and knew very well in his heart that in fact, the Second Highness also understood what the Grand Duke of Fisabrun meant, but he didn't care, and was even happy to see the Fisabrun family and the Norton family fighting each other, and it was something that the Second Highness was very happy to do and was willing to do to add to the blockage of the four alliances in the Northland.

Lorist bowed slightly: "The Norton family is willing to obey His Majesty's orders, as long as the Fisabrun family can act according to the laws formulated by our four families in the Northlands, we will naturally not deliberately be hostile to them, and it is a happy event for the people of the Northeast to get along amicably." ”

Hehe, according to the laws formulated by the four alliances of the Northlands, the Fisabrun family is waiting to be squeezed to the end. Lorist didn't want to let go of the Fisabrun family easily, he didn't care if the granddaughter of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun was the queen of the kingdom, he wouldn't do the story of the farmer and the snake, and since the fierce beast of the Fisabrun family was put in a cage, don't think about it.

"This ......" His Royal Highness was also speechless, and Lorist clearly would not obey his will and would not let go of the Fisabrun family. It's not good for him to tear his face for this at this time. Fortunately, at this time, the Duke of Kemberth, the Earl of Shahin, Fat Shi and Viscount Eddis came up to salute, and also avoided Lorlist's cruel words and made everyone unable to get off the stage.

The carriage carrying the queen also arrived, and Queen Sisi dismounted. Lorist stepped forward to salute, and by the way, he looked at the appearance, he was also a big beauty, it seemed that the genes of the Fisabrun family were very good, the men were handsome and the women were pretty. However, it is slightly inferior to Princess Celivia, especially the pride on that face, which seems to be very remarkable, which makes Lorist want to laugh when he sees it. At the same time, Lorist also noticed that Princess Celivia was standing aside, only whispering to the Elder Swordsman of Cindy, and did not come forward to greet the Grand Duke of Fisabrun and his cousin Queen. Lorist couldn't help but feel relieved.

After a lot of commotion, everyone got on the car, got on the horse, and went to the Rose Palace in Windbrie King City under the leadership of Viscount Edith. Ever since the city of Windbrie fell into the hands of the Norton family, the Rose Palace has become the king's residence, and no one but Lorist can enter it. Now that the Second Highness has come down, the Rose Palace has naturally become his stay. Viscount Edith has ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous reception banquet to entertain His Royal Highness and his party.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Duke Kenmath finally stood up on behalf of all the nobles present and asked the crucial question: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, is it true what you said about waging war against the four central principalities during your inspection?"

"Of course. His Royal Highness put down the golden cup in his hand and replied, "What I said is the truth, and the promises and meritorious rewards I have made are waiting for the warriors to obtain. Here I announce the news that Grand Duke Fisabrun, the steppe god of our kingdom, will also lead the frontier rangers in this war against the four central principalities and make his contribution to the unification of the empire. It's just that there are still some small things that need to be negotiated, and once the armament affairs are finalized, we will launch an attack on the four central principalities. As the king, I look forward to all the nobles present here showing your bravery on the battlefield and making immortal contributions to the royal kingdom......"

His Royal Highness's words caused a wave of uproar and cheers from the nobles present. Lorist played with the cup in his hand, thinking about the information that the Second Highness had just revealed that the Grand Duke of Fisabrun would lead the border rangers to go on the expedition, and his eyes involuntarily looked to the opposite side, but he saw the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, who was sitting opposite, raised his glass to himself, which was a toast, and then he poured it down in a big gulp. Interesting, old fellow, what the hell are you up to?

After the banquet, His Royal Highness invited Lorlist, Archduke Fisabrun, Duke Kenmax, Count Philim and Count Saheen to stay, and then hesitated for a while, and asked Shi Fatzi to follow everyone to the side hall to discuss matters. Lorist knew that the real drama was coming.

After sitting down in the side hall, the second highness told his strategy of the four principalities in the middle of the country very bluntly. In his plan, His Royal Highness prepared to dispatch a 56,000-strong White Lion Legion to attack the Four Central Duchyes after arriving in the Southern Province. The purpose of the first step was to recover the provinces of Limad and Meishan in the former Duchy of Melein, and use them as a springboard and base to attack the heart of the four central principalities. Because of the long distance, His Royal Highness wanted to block the border between the Southern Province and the Limad Province first, and wait for the arrival of the White Lion Legion before launching an attack, which was expected to be launched around mid-August.

"Didn't the Grand Duke of Fisabrun say that he was going to lead the Frontier Rangers, can you tell me where he is going to attack?" said Lorlist, looking at the Grand Duke of Fisabrun.

The Grand Duke of Fisabrun did not say a word, and was silent.

His Royal Highness said, "That's right, the Fisabrun family will send two legions to join the battlefield after we occupy Meishan Province. The province of Mae Son borders the principalities of Sabaji and Forendo. In the plan, I plan to divide my troops into two ways, one is that the White Lion Legion and the Frontier Ranger Legion cooperate to attack one principality, and your four northland families will attack the other principality on the other way. The two roads take care of each other, so that the four central principalities can take care of one and lose the other, and they will not be able to concentrate their forces to resist. Only in this way will we be able to conquer these four principalities in one fell swoop. ”

Lorist sneered: "It seems that the Fisabrun family is indeed dedicated to His Majesty the King, and even the only two surviving border ranger regiments have been pulled out to attack the Four Duchy of the Middle. What a rare loyalty......"

"Well, Brother Locke, your consent is needed here...... Second Highness said sincerely, "Now the Fisabrun family has belonged to the same Kingdom of Andinac as you. And you also signed an armistice. As a king, I believe that you will be able to shake hands and make peace, and work together to unify the empire.

I want you to release the soldiers of the Third Frontier Ranger Legion, and let the Grand Duke of Fisabrun reorganize them into a legion and lead them out into the Four Central Duchies. You know that the Fisabrun family currently has two legions left, and if they both go out, they will not be able to resist the invasion of the grass barbarian tribe. So wouldn't it be better for you to give freedom to the soldiers who surrendered, so that they could contribute to the unification of the empire?"

Hehe, it turns out that the old fox fought with this idea, Lorist sneered. His Royal Highness was still chattering and persuading Lorist to think about the overall situation, everything was for the sake of attacking the Central Four Duchy......

Lorist looked at Count Philim and Count Shahin, who had their heads down and didn't know what they were looking at, and then at Duke Kenmeth, who saw that he was carefully studying the teacup in his hand. Lorist suddenly felt disheartened, he smiled and waved his hand to restrain the nagging of the Second Highness: "Okay, I agree to release those soldiers of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment." But the Fisabrun family must make amends. The specific matters were left to Baron Schreider and Duke Kenmeth, and I was a little unwell, so I retired first. ”

Lorist walked away.
