Chapter 578: Entanglement
The world is bizarre, and Lorist doesn't care what His Royal Highness thinks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if the Second Highness has become the new Ogceiro the Great of the new Kerisian Empire, Lorist can still do what he wants. According to the plan made to let the family develop step by step and steadily, it is the best way to deal with it, and there is no need to change anything because of the joy and anger of the Second Highness.
Seriously, there are also a lot of entanglements between Lorist and His Royal Highness. Although Lorist returned to the family territory first, Shi Fatzi, who was in charge of the northbound convoy, was used by the Second Highness when he passed through the Kingdom of Antinac, helping the Second Highness to regain power from a prince on the verge of exile to the regent who held the power of the kingdom.
The Second Highness used the armed forces of the northbound convoy to sweep away the rebellious territorial nobles of the kingdom, and regained the power to govern the kingdom from his elder brother, His Royal Highness, and finally used the displaced people throughout the kingdom to force the northbound convoy to a dead end step by step, ready to take the opportunity to swallow the big fat meat of the northbound convoy, which is also one of the reasons why Lorist's subordinate Shi Fatzi, Bodefinger and others have never had a good impression of the Second Highness.
When the northbound convoy was desperate, Lorist returned from the Northland to find the northbound convoy and reached an agreement with His Royal Highness to cooperate. On behalf of the Norton family, Lorist swore allegiance to the orthodox lineage of the former Clisian royal family, now the Kingdom of Antinac. and obtained the seal of the island of Hilovas as a family domain from the hands of the Second Highness.
Lorist then led an armed convoy across Egret Lake at night and invaded the Duchy of Madras, opening a road to the north for the northbound convoy. His Royal Highness also took this opportunity to sweep the province of Yungshandra in the Duchy of Madras and included this province in the territory of the Kingdom of Andnac.
Although in the process of attacking the cooperation of the Duchy of Madras, the Second Highness intended to let Lorist's northbound convoy drag the army of the Iberian Kingdom of the Second Prince, who came to reinforce, and sent people to tear down the walls of Kebo City, secretly pitting Lorliste. But people are not as good as heaven, and Lorist finally led the northbound convoy to the Northland without danger.
The next few years were busy with Lorist and His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness defeated the invading army of the Kingdom of Redlis, led by the Great Prince, and reached an armistice peace agreement with the Duchy of Madras, doubling the territory of the Kingdom of Antinac, and earning himself the title of a new military master of the Gelinthia continent. Continue to rearm and prepare for the unification of the former Krisson Empire.
Lorist returned to the Northlands to defeat Lukins, the Grand Duke of the Northlands, and then to resist the wave of monsters that swept the family's territory every winter. In the end, he defeated the second prince, who coveted the wealth of the Norton family. Then he was assassinated by the Great Sword Master sent by the second prince and exiled to the Mountain Barbarian Tribe. After Lorist returned to his family's territory, he sent troops to capture the royal city of Windbri, the royal capital of the Iberian Kingdom, captured the second prince, and established the alliance of the four northlands, and after stabilizing the situation in the northland, he was ready to go to see the sealed territory of Shirowas, and by the way, he sent the captured second prince to the second highness for disposal.
It's just that Lorist didn't expect that his fiefdom of Hilovas Island would be ruined by the tax collectors sent by His Second Highness, and some nobles in the imperial capital took advantage of the Norton family's lack of time to take care of their own territory and connived at their children to forcibly occupy the Wanghai Manor on the island. In addition, some of the subordinates left behind by His Royal Highness also occupied the most fertile land on the island, in short, a bunch of troubles. Lorist quickly cut through the chaos, captured the tax collector and the commander of the regiment who came to fight the autumn wind, imprisoned the children of the nobles, and captured the recalcitrant village of Farama, before going to the imperial capital to meet the Second Highness.
At this time, His Royal Highness was vigorous and exhausted the wealth of the entire kingdom to gather an army of 300,000, preparing to use these 300,000 horses to unify the territory of the former Krisson Empire. After meeting Lorist, he also hopes to convince the Norton family to send troops to help him unify the empire. But he didn't expect Lorist to put the tax collectors, corps commanders and noble children who had been captured on the island of Hilovas in front of him, and almost slapped him in the face.
When His Royal Highness wanted to shield the unscrupulous tax collector, Lorist killed the tax collector on the spot, which was the first head-on conflict that broke out between Lorist and His Royal Highness. The Second Highness motioned to the Great Swordsman of the guards to teach Lorist a lesson, but he didn't expect that the Great Swordsman was taught a lesson by Lorist. Then Lorist presented the captured king of the Iberian Kingdom, one of the main culprits of the empire's civil strife, the second prince of the former Cleison Empire, and the second highness was overjoyed, and Lorist took the opportunity to get out of the imperial capital.
However, the brother of the beheaded tax officer, the confidant of His Second Highness, the Earl of Aslan, the commander of the legion, dispatched 5,000 men to attack Lorist and his party, and His Royal Highness pretended not to know. But what I didn't expect was that these 5,000 men and horses were broken through the five battalions by Lorist with 500 guards at night, and they were beaten to the ground, and even the Earl of Aslan was killed on the spot. While shocking the Norton family's armed battle, the Second Highness had no choice but to let go of Lorist because the decisive battle to attack the Kingdom of Redlis was about to begin, and he was unwilling to continue the investigation.
After Lorist left the Imperial Capital, he traveled to the city of Morent in order to obtain the glass formula, and accidentally learned that the Business Alliance was preparing to implement the Lord System, and in view of the lack of a business alliance in the territory, the Chikde Chamber of Commerce, one of the Seven Giants of the Business Alliance, hit the idea of Hilowas. In order to prevent the island of Hilovas from falling into the hands of Chickede, Lorist used the formula of glass to provoke a war between the commercial alliance and the kingdom of Trimber, forcing the commercial alliance to turn its attention to the central and southern parts of the continent and embark on the road of military expansion.
It's just that Lorist didn't expect to avoid the island of Hilovas becoming the territory of the Chikrid Chamber of Commerce, but it attracted the attack of the slave kingdom. In retaliation, Lorist led the family to lead an armed expedition to the kingdom of Haneyabada, which destroyed the slave kingdom in one fell swoop, and at the same time brought the Haneabada Islands under the family's jurisdiction.
Just when Lorist was preparing for the expedition, His Royal Highness was not idle, he paid a huge price in the cold winter across the frozen cloud swamp, over the Yunduan Mountains and the dangerous snow-capped mountains, miraculously appeared under the royal capital of the Kingdom of Redlis, the royal city of Federiga, the first battle of the Kai, the king of the Kingdom of Ridleys, the former prince of the Krisson Empire is missing, and the Kingdom of Redlis is destroyed.
This battle shocked the entire Gallinthia continent, and His Royal Highness was hailed as a new generation of northern military gods. It's just that the Second Highness was carried away by the huge victory in this battle, and made mistakes one after another under the condition of mastering the strategic advantage, blindly refusing to appease the territorial nobles of the former Redlis Kingdom with force, and arrogantly ordering the four Grand Dukes of the Central Four Duchy to obey his unreasonable orders, and finally forced all parties to unite, so that the troops arranged by the Second Highness on the front line were defeated one after another, and fell into a long-term war of resistance.
At this moment, the Vicia Chamber of Commerce, one of the seven giants of the business alliance, coveted the rich mineral resources of the province of Puerto Org, where the royal city of Federiga was located, and intervened in the war. And the Second Highness had a serious illness and was bedridden because of anxiety and physical hazards when crossing the Great Snow Mountain. So much so that the daughter of the deceased His Royal Highness, Princess Kerry, united with the nobles of the imperial capital to start a rebellion, cutting off the back route of the expedition and the supply of logistics and supplies. The army at the front collapsed, and His Royal Highness was besieged in the royal city of Federiga.
In the face of a desperate situation, the Second Highness forced the sick body to survive with a broken tail, leaving most of the troops to hold on to the royal city of Federiga, and he left the royal city of Federiga with thousands of elite main forces from the secret passage, preparing to cross the Yunduan Mountains again and return to the Kingdom of Antinac, and regroup after cleaning up those rebellions. It's just that he was unlucky, and on the way back, he inadvertently entered the territory where the eldest prince was hidden, and fought with the private forces of the eldest prince, who was waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback, and both sides were defeated. Although he killed the rebellious prince father and son who caused the civil strife in the former Krisson Empire, the elite troops of the Second Highness also suffered heavy losses and never had the strength to return to China to quell the rebellion.
At the time of the ups and downs of His Royal Highness, Lorist, who returned from the expedition, was vigorously developing the family territory, rearming, and preparing to take the backers of the Iberian Kingdom, the Fisabrun family, to fight for the dominance of several provinces in the northeast. But what he didn't expect was that the missing Second Highness would suddenly appear in his family territory, and ask the Norton family for help and ask Lorist to help him restore the country and regain the throne.
This was the third meeting between Lorist and His Royal Highness, and after intriguing negotiations, Lorist obtained jurisdiction over the provinces of Dramke and Winston from His Highness, making these two provinces the domain of the Norton family, and at the same time fighting for his allies the Kenmax family, the Philim family, and the Shaheen family. Only then did it be decided to send troops to help His Royal Highness restore the country.
Lorist led the family forces to attack the West Degrad Province from the sea in winter, destroyed the Duchy of Madras in one fell swoop, and sent the family armed Flying Tiger Legion to sweep the Kingdom of Antinac, and the troops came to the imperial capital, conquered the imperial capital in one battle, swept away the rebellious kingdom nobles, and helped the second highness to regain the throne. At the same time, because of the strong combat effectiveness of the Norton family and their outstanding performance on the battlefield, it began to arouse the deep jealousy of His Royal Highness.
After helping His Royal Highness to restore the kingdom, Lorist refocused his attention on the declining Iberian Kingdom, and once again led the family armed forces to raid the royal city of Windbri, and defeated the steppe god Grand Duke Fisabulun, who was preparing to establish the ruling order of the Fisabrun family on the basis of the royal city, and destroyed the Iberian Kingdom. Then, in the southern province, the Fisabrun family forces and the more than 80,000 elite hoplite troops of the four central principalities came to their aid, cutting off the communication between the Fisabrun family and the four central principalities.
However, the steppe god Grand Duke Fisabrun was not a wasted person, although he suffered a loss in the Southern Province, he also overshadowed Lorist in the Makinohara Province. The Grand Duke of Fisabrun colluded with the 100,000-strong army of the Barbarian tribe to set up an ambush in Makinohara Province, and almost wiped out the newly formed hunting army of the Norton family's army, which was the first major defeat suffered by the family army since Lorist took charge of the Norton family.
Just when the four Northland alliances led by Lorist were preparing to use the method of encirclement and blockade to force Fisabrun to admit defeat, so that the two provinces of the Fisabrun family would become the source of wealth for the four Northland alliances. His Royal Highness stepped in and used the excuse of the patrol to suddenly enter the territory of the Fisabrun family, and reached a surrender agreement with the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. It was announced that the Fisabrun family had returned to the command of the Andinac Kingdom, and His Royal Highness also married the granddaughter of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun as queen, causing Lorist's plot to fall short and giving the Fisabrunn family a way to survive.
Immediately afterwards, His Royal Highness plotted to attack the Four Central Duchy, and persuaded both Lorist and Grand Duke Fisabrun to send troops to help. During the war against the four central principalities, relations between Lorist and the Grand Duke of Fisabrun were also eased, and the two sides lifted the hostilities and resumed friendly trade and commerce. Archduke Fisabrun expressed his intention to compete with Lorist for dominance of the Northeast, and was willing to submit to the new ruling order established by the Norton family over the Northeast.
After conquering the four central principalities, His Highness turned his attention to several provinces of the former Cresson Empire occupied by the Merchant Alliance, and on the condition of recognizing the province of Makinohara as the new territory of the Norton family, he once again enlisted the support of Lorist and sent troops to help capture the provinces of Swof, Majik, Portoorg and Cambona. Destroyed the Visia Chamber of Commerce, one of the Seven Giants of the Business Alliance. At the same time, His Royal Highness led the aristocratic alliance of the Antinac Kingdom to capture the northwest region, and joined the Norton family army, gathering nearly one million troops, and approaching the border of the commercial alliance, with great momentum.
His Highness had hoped to force the Mercantile Alliance to submit with a million troops, return the two occupied provinces of the former Krisson Empire, and reach a peace agreement. But unexpectedly, on the one hand, the Commercial Alliance used the negotiation to send the Storm Sword Saint to prepare to kidnap His Royal Highness and the nobles of the kingdom to go to Molent City to confess their crimes, and on the other hand, the commercial alliance sent the armed forces to launch a surprise attack, preparing to take the million-strong army of the Kingdom of Antinac by surprise.
At the critical moment, Lorist stepped forward and fought with the Storm Sword Saint and lost both, and the Norton family's armed Rock Legion resisted the surprise attack of the Commercial Alliance's forces, buying time for His Royal Highness to regroup his army. When the Second Highness made a comeback, the three field legions armed by the Norton family cooperated with the Second Highness to annihilate the main force of the Commercial Alliance.
This was perhaps the closest moment between Lorist and His Second Highness, who maintained enough respect for Lorlist, who had been promoted to the rank of Juggernaut. Therefore, when the coalition of nobles of the Kingdom of Antinac under the command of His Royal Highness fell into a bloody battle for three years in the plains of Falchu and suffered heavy losses, and asked Lorist for help and used the barren province of Yungeshandra as the new domain of the Norton family in return, Lorist agreed to the request to send troops.
Then it was the Norton family's North Sea Fleet that wiped out the Merchant Alliance's Invincible Fleet, attacked the Hidden Gold Bay and landed in the city of Morent, reversing the battlefield situation on the Falcan Hill Plain in one fell swoop, forcing the Merchant Alliance's armed forces to withdraw from the Falcan Hill Plain. Lorist saved the fate of the remnants of the coalition of nobles of the Kingdom of Antinac, and independently commanded the Norton family forces to defeat the merchant alliance forces in the city of Bluvia, and it took three years to split the merchant alliance, and finally bowed his head and conceded defeat.
It's just that without the foreign enemy of the Business Alliance, after the Second Highness ascended the coveted emperor throne and restored the title of the Krisson Empire, the fear of the four alliances of the Northlands led by the Norton family regained the upper hand again. Even though Lorist has become the Empire's Zhenguo Sword Saint, His Royal Highness is still concerned about the strength of the Norton family. The disarmament proposal proposed by His Royal Highness at the Gala Banquet on the day of the grand ceremony was only a test for Lorlist, and Lorist was sure that the Second Highness, who had become Emperor, would not stop in the coming days, and that he would come up with many means and methods to test the patience of Lorist and the four alliances of the Northlands.
