Southern kingdom of Rod, Suharis,

Some say that Suharis may be one of the oldest cities on the continent of Ikadiva, and that it has survived longer than the millennial dynasty that collapsed in the first place. This statement is not without reason. The millennium dynasty was founded only 1,100 years ago, but Suharis has a history of at least 1,500 years.

Originally just a small city built on the plateau, with the evolution of history and the rise of the Banutu people in the south, this highland city of the Banutu people gradually became a transit area connecting the huge alluvial plain in the south and the rising Dorok Mountains.

Fifteen hundred years ago, the Suharis Plateau was conquered by the Ikadiwa people in the Paraven Plain region, and this famous city became a barrier for the Ikadiwa people against the invasion of the barbarians in the Dorok Mountains.

Because of the remoteness, harsh climate, and dry temperatures, most of the Ikadiwa nobles could not accept it, and this area became a settlement for the Ikadivars to settle the Rads who crossed the sea

The midday sun in late autumn shines lazily on Suharis' various ancient buildings, exuding an awe-inspiring glow.

Most of the buildings here are incredibly old, from the earliest stone buildings characteristic of the Banutu people to the large ensuite villas built to boast of political achievements in the late millennium.

The simple and huge large palace made of huge stones, the traces of time have left speckled marks on these old stones,

From the outside, it looks mottled and shabby. It was the historical traces of harassment and attack in the chaos of various countries in the late millennium of the dynasty, and there were still many shooting holes between the stones, which were not symmetrical and not carefully designed, and looked like the scars of this ancient city.

Due to its location on the plateau and its dry climate, there is not much greenery to see in the city of Suharis, especially in late autumn when the leaves are withering, and there is nothing to praise it except for the brilliant sunset of the red maple leaves.

Whenever the autumn wind blows, it brings with it a large amount of dust, enveloping the whole of Suharis in a sea of gray dust. So some people say, but outwardly, Suharis is the ugliest city on the continent of Ikadill. However, even the ugliest cities will always have something beautiful, and the same is true of the ancient palaces of the Ikadivars.

The ancient palace of Ikadiwa is not in the middle of the current city of Suharis, but on its outskirts, which is the center of the city built by the Ikadiwa, and now there is only a large area of speckled ruins except for the quaint and atmospheric palace, and even the most learned scholars do not seem to understand why the original Banutu people were so powerful.

can form a green grassy col in this piece of yellow sand and dust,

Here, even the air is filled with a refreshing scent, and the sea breeze from the edge of the sea is exceptionally fresh. Compared to the wind and sand outside, this place is simply a paradise on earth.

The ancient palace of the Ikadivars is an ancient castle in the form of pillars, standing halfway up the mountain, on either side of the open hills, and some small pointed bunkers are faintly exposed in the mountains, which were the original garrison of the royal family's guards.

A light, richly decorated carriage traveled along the rugged mountain road, and after several rigorous inspections, slowly drove into this ancient building made of solid stones.

The closed gate opened heavily in front of the carriage, then closed again, making a dull sound behind the carriage, as if to seal the place forever. The carriage drove into a vast and empty marble courtyard,

The carriage slowly stopped, and a handsome young aristocratic young man was already waiting there. The appropriate and straight military uniform made him look heroic, and he obediently lifted the carriage and said in a soft and polite voice, "President Su Ze, Lord Salton of our country has been waiting in the hall for a long time. ”

An old man with gray hair jumped down from the carriage and said in a heavy Dorok accent, "Thank you." ”

The handsome young man looked at the old man very casually, and saw that he seemed to be in his seventies, but his face was very good, quite ruddy, and only a few wrinkles could be seen, his body was straight, his eyes were sharp and deep, and he inadvertently revealed a kind of iron-blooded and steel-bone spirit. ...,

"Worthy of being called the iron-blooded backbone of Doroke"

Adjutant Junxiu secretly sighed in his heart, this spirited old man is Su Ze, the chief speaker of the council of the Doroxey City-State Alliance, and the commander of the Dorok Alliance Army that is now facing off against the Odd Legion and the front line of the Hatirens Mountains

led the old man into the hall, where a middle-aged nobleman in civilian clothes was working,

Hearing the footsteps, the middle-aged nobleman put down the brush in his hand, picked up the hot towel next to him and wiped his face vigorously, then stood up, took a few steps forward, and said very respectfully

"Your Excellency the Speaker, it's better to see it after a long time, it's really extraordinary demeanor."

"Deputy Minister Salton is also still in style," the old man replied angrily, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of imperceptible cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

For the middle-aged nobleman in front of him who was dressed in civilian clothes and had a very generous appearance, although he didn't look at it very much, he didn't dare to show a contemptuous look, he deeply knew the power and ability of this middle-aged nobleman.

Thorton, the deputy minister of the military department of the kingdom of Rod, this is a man known as the crippled lion in the Continental Army circles,

In the war between Ryde and Rui Erdian, it was he who withstood the encirclement of Rui Erdian's tens of thousands of troops for more than a month with 5,000 remnants, laying the foundation for the victory of the last Rude people in the south once in a century.

His tenacity and ability to grasp the battle situation are enough to give any opponent a headache, and he is a figure that no one dares to underestimate. There is a widely circulated legend that this new star of the kingdom, who has just been promoted to the vice minister of military affairs for less than half a year, has the right to speak in military affairs of Vode, and even more important than the current minister of military affairs.

And this time, as the deputy minister of military affairs, he comprehensively supervised the offensive of the Kingdom of Odd against the Dorok Mountains, and was called the commander of more than 100,000 troops, which invisibly confirmed the authenticity of this rumor.

The 100,000 troops of the previous Bads swept through Sidocro almost all the way, and the unsuspecting city of Sidorak lost its armor.

If it weren't for the fact that the people of East Dorok abandoned the past antagonism and took timely rescue, the entire 32 city-states of West Dorok would have all been planted with the banner of the Lords.

"Lord Lao has been waiting for a long time, I think it's better to start peace talks right away," the old man sat down on the seat opposite the middle-aged nobleman with some impatience, and said without any scruples

"Now Rui Erdian is in danger, as long as a fool can see it, Rui Erdian is like a terminally ill old man, as long as a light push can push him to the ground, at this critical moment, I believe that your country should not want your precious combat power, deep in the useless Dorok Mountains, if you don't go north, the Wikibians in the north will pick up all the cheap, since we have no need to continue fighting, such a confrontation will be a big burden for both sides"

"Hehe, Your Excellency the Speaker General is indeed a person who is as anxious as the outside world rumores" Salton smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was very affectionate, and he couldn't tell that the two were mortal enemies

Raising the glass of water on the table, Salton took a sip before saying lightly, "Your Excellency the Speaker has come all the way from Dorok, all the way over the mountains and mountains, difficult and dangerous, and the journey is tiring, if you start negotiations now, I think it will be unfair to the Speaker, negotiation is a very physical and mental work."

"Less nonsense, I'll just ask, you people never withdraw from the Dorok Mountains" The hot-tempered Su Ze stood up angrily, staring at Salton with an indifferent face with fierce eyes,

He had to be anxious, the north of Dorok is a lofty mountain, and the main grain-producing area is now occupied by the Odds in the West Dorok, which is now half occupied by the Odds, and it is precisely for this reason that the East Dorok, which has always been at odds with the West Dorok, has to temporarily send troops to rescue, otherwise once the grain production area is occupied, the East Dorok will not be able to resist the pace of the Rads going north

The food consumed every day is the grain stored in previous years, and no one knows how long it can last, so as soon as they received the news that the Goude people were willing to negotiate peace, they immediately dispatched Su Ze, the speaker of the General Assembly, who had a decisive influence in the alliance

"Your Excellency the Speaker, why is you so anxious" In the face of Dotze's glare, Salton said expressionlessly, "Your Excellency the Speaker should have passed through the Dit Mountains on the way, according to the agreement, we have withdrawn the Fourth Army that entered the Dit area, if this negotiation is successful, I believe that Your Excellency the Speaker will become the greatest hero in the history of the Doroks"...,

"What do you mean by that?" Dotzer was not a fool, he heard that Soldton's meaning did not seem to be as simple as peace talks, and that it was probably related to one of the Dorok people's heavy decision

"It's not interesting" Soldton picked up the water glass, looked at the heat floating on the surface of the cup, and said slowly, "It's true that we are willing to talk about peace this time, but there is a prerequisite, no one wants to have a neighbor eyeing him next to him when he is attacking with all his might, our army is going north to crusade against Ruierdian, in order to avenge the feud for many years, but you Dorok people have always applauded the Ruierdian people, how can we rest assured"

"Then what do you want us Dorok people to do?" Feeling that what Salton said made some sense, the older and stronger Doze rolled his eyes,

Thorton's voice stopped, and he looked at Su Ze with sharp eyes and said in a low voice, "I heard that His Excellency Speaker Su Ze has always had a wish, that is, to establish a real kingdom of the Dorok people, I don't know if this is true"

Hearing Sallton's words, Todd's face fluttered, neither saying yes nor saying no, as a well-known founding faction among the Dorok people, Doze is known as the Dorok Iron Blood, and has always advocated getting rid of the control of the mainland countries and establishing an independent Dorok Kingdom,

A sharp glint flashed in Salton's eyes, he could feel that Doze's attitude in front of him was shaken, and continued: "If His Excellency Speaker Doze really has this will, our kingdom is willing to help you, the elite of the Rui Erdian people have all been lost, and now they are even more mired in the quagmire of chaotic war, and they have no time to take care of the Dorok Mountains, it is really the best opportunity for Dorok to rise, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what does the Speaker have to consider?"

"Are you really willing to help us?" asked Tazawa with a look of emotion

"Of course," Sol Duan shrugged his shoulders cunningly, "as long as the Speaker agrees, you Dorok people will sign an alliance agreement with our kingdom after getting rid of the control of the Rui Erdian people, and send troops with us from both directions at the same time.

If the Speaker General doesn't agree, then the previous one doesn't count," Salton smiled at the corner of his mouth under Doze's bewildered gaze, "I believe that with enough patience, it is not impossible for my army to conquer the entire Dorok Mountains, and then ......",

Doze hesitated with an ugly face, he knew that Salton was right, the Odds only obtained the southern Surok region, which was equivalent to opening the door to the Dorok Mountains, although the Dorok city-state was able to rely on geographical advantages to block, but after all, this was only a short time, once the Rowd people were familiar with the mountain operations and figured out the geography of the Dorok Mountains, it would be the end of the scattered Dorok people

"Okay, I can agree to your request and send troops with you after breaking away from Ruier's control."

Tazawa's face flickered red and white, and his eyes were full of pain, how could he not know that once he signed an alliance agreement with the Rouds, it would be equivalent to dragging millions of Dorok people into the vortex of continental war, and he could no longer maintain his previous position of relative neutrality,

Once the army is sent to Rui Erdian, in addition to the cruel revenge from Rui Erdian, the Falcon Dynasty, which is struggling to extend its sphere of influence to the northern region of Rui Erdian, will inevitably regard itself as an enemy.

This is a gamble that cannot be seen whether it will be won or lost, and in order for the Dorok people to be able to establish a country and realize the dream of the Dorok people for hundreds of years, Doze can't control so much

Said excitedly, "We Dorok people do not lack excellent warriors, but only lack qualified weapons, although we are mountainous, but there are very few mountains that can mine iron ore, almost all of them are in the mountain range area near the Rui Erdian side, where mining is forbidden because it is a border,

Now those areas are still in the hands of the Ruierdian border guards, who have about 20,000 troops, and they are guarding the fortresses on the border, and we are temporarily unable to attack.

All the qiē weapons we need must be collected through guò trade channels. Once we start a war with Rui Erdian, our source of weapons will be limited, and the Falcon Dynasty in the north will also regard us as the number one enemy, without enough weapons, we have no ability to resist at all, so the most important thing to solve is the problem of weapons, if the adults can help, then the other problems are easy to say

Salton smiled and said, "Don't worry about the Speaker, I just promise to do this, there are two large iron mines on the Sagotha Mountain near the west of Suruo, which is not far from your Bokerang, I can order the local delivery of these two iron mines to you, with excellent iron, are you afraid that there will be no weapons"...,

"That's ...... That is, the adults are really thoughtful, with these two pieces of iron ore, we Dorok will soon have the strength to build a nation."

The corners of Su Ze's mouth smiled unnaturally and embarrassedly, and he secretly cursed in his heart, "What kind of crippled lion is this, it's just an old fox" handed over the two iron mines controlled by the Virtuous people to himself, which can be used as a coercion, and can also be used as a bargaining chip to prevent himself from admitting his account, these two iron mines in the territory of Su Zuo, if they don't want to take it back, they will also be offended by Ruierdian and the Vikyans, and they can only be at the mercy of the Virtuous people, which is really vicious

Salton smiled slightly, and said sincerely, "In this case, I am here to celebrate the birth of the Dorok Kingdom in advance, there is no doubt about success, and when the time comes, this Ikadiva continent will not be the current pattern,"

"This is all thanks to the adults, I will not forget it" The corners of Su Ze's mouth were bitter, and he nodded with a depressed expression.

Salton paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "Your Excellency Speaker Su Ze is a native of the Pengbo Mountains, right?

Su Ze said with a hesitant face, "I was born in the area of the Pampo tribe, but I didn't grow up there, I actually grew up in Parabun, and studied at the Parabun Academy under the sponsorship of a certain Ryerdian nobleman.

That's when I learned that not all races are as weak and deceitful as our Dorok, and that's because we don't have a strong kingdom

From that time on, I made it my wish to see a true kingdom of the Doroks in my lifetime."

"Oh, so the Pombo tribe is the Dorok people?" Salton asked thoughtfully as he touched his teacup lightly, his eyebrows jumping

"What do you mean by this, I, the Dorok people, have lived in Pengberg Hill for more than 400 years, and the Pombo tribe with a population of 20,000 has never claimed to be a Ruierdian, is this still fake" Su Ze's face turned red, and his angry eyes were bloodshot,

Because the Pombo people are closest to Paravon, many of the Bloomberg people are servants in the families of the Paravon nobles, and Su Ze was also sent to the Paravon Academy by his master because of his extreme cleverness, hoping to serve as the housekeeper of the family after completing his studies

"Don't get me wrong," Salton waved his hand and said, "We have received information that the border county of Ruierdian has entered the area of Mount Pombo, and Paravon has decided to hand over the management and control of the area to a dozen or so administrative officials sent from Kyoto, and Paraven Kyoto has already obtained the control of Mount Pombo, that is, the clubhouse, they think that it is the land of Ruierdian, and I heard that more than 100 people of the Pombo tribe died during the takeover."

"What are these Ruierdian people going too far" Su Ze's ruddy face suddenly became very excited, and his hands were clenched together

Salton said cautiously, "However, the Speaker General doesn't need to worry too much, isn't it just a reason for the Dorok people to rebel by such inappropriate means on the Palauvon side?The other tribes must have felt the crisis, I believe that when the Speaker goes back this time, the voices that supported the Pro-Ryerdian before will stop, and the Lord only needs to prepare for war with all his might...... ，
