3. The deceased
readx;? As mentioned earlier, in the place where the three sides of the Empire, the Dragon Plains and the Silent Hill converge, this land that is still calm and not too barren has been divided up by three small countries, although under the suppression of the Empire, the three small countries will not have much war, but after all, as neighbors, and in this three-regardless region, friction between each other is definitely indispensable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The most fatal place is here, the southernmost point of the Pakan Line is stuck between the Anumencher Knights and the Arnov Principality, which means that no matter what Adolph, the actual leader of the Anumancher, really thinks in his heart, he still has to choose to cooperate with the leader of the Arnov Principality in terms of defending against the Cultists and future orc invasions.
Well, don't say it's Adolf, even the newcomer Elivan can't help but want to scold his mother when he sees the king of the so-called "Arad Kingdom", which has been dominated by greed and arrogance.
General Aradd, no, it should be called "Arad I" now, yes, an arrogant aristocratic general, in fact, he is the younger brother of the former ruler of the Principality of Arnov, a marquis, this guy spent thirty years plotting, ten years ago, created an "accident", killed his brother, that is, the Grand Duke Arnov, killed the two sons of the Grand Duke, and inherited the position of the Grand Duke.
Then, five years later, when the situation in the Dragon Plains was tense, he unilaterally announced that he would sever relations with the suzerain, that is, the Holy Del Empire, and remember that in the following month he announced that the Duchy of Arnov would be renamed the "Kingdom of Arad", and that he called himself "Arad I", a complete villain, a careerist, and an old fox.
His court is full of people who welcome and shoot horses, and those who are really capable have been almost squeezed out, especially in the military.
But this is exactly what Adolf is worried about, Anumancher's front-line stronghold is 100% able to block the incoming enemy, but almost adjacent to their stronghold is the defense line of the Principality of Arnov, once those soft bones fail, or even surrender directly, the enemy can easily enter Anumanche's defense line from their defense, and at that time, Anumanche will easily become a pond fish that will be affected!
"I have half a million soldiers! I have seven generals! I don't need to work with anyone!"
Arad, the rebel in his fifties, put a piece of veal into his mouth in the standard aristocratic dining style, then picked up the meal and touched his mouth, and said to Adolf, who was sitting across the table, with a disdainful expression,
"Especially a rebel like you, who killed the monarch and set up a puppet king, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm telling you, I, the founding monarch of the Arad Kingdom, will not leave you any chance to exploit the loopholes!"
"Bang!"
Adolf's fist slammed on the table, and he responded with extreme impatience,
"That's enough! I'm not here to see what kind of drama you're performing, Mr. Arad, the Knights of Anumencher won't recognize your so-called border agreement, and if your soldiers dare to take a step across the border, I'll take it as a signal to go to war!"
"Young man, I know that you and yours are actually very capable of fighting, but do you dare to fight this battle?"
A mocking smile appeared on Arad's face,
"The White Stone Society and the Hussar Knights are trapped on the front line, the Holy Del Empire has lost its jurisdiction here, your country is only one-third the size of the Arad Kingdom, and your people, even only a quarter of the number of my people, so there is only one way in front of you, obediently send Argent County to the Arad Kingdom, otherwise, my soldiers and I will mercilessly smash your so-called defense line, heh, there is only a defense line of less than 1w people!"
"You're crazy!
Adolf stood up, he didn't want to waste time here anymore, especially when the conversation was such an arrogant guy.
"If you think you are sure of victory, you can come, I just want to inform you, if you don't change those old and sick people in the direction of Pakan, I don't mind taking over that line of defense! I don't want to see my country ravaged by orcs because of your incompetence!"
Arad lifted his glass, the liquor in it was like crimson blood, he put it to his lips and sipped it, and the smile that seemed to be omnipotent bloomed again.
"Orcs, what do they have to do with me? The Holy Del Empire will naturally find a way to stop those barbarians, if they fail, the xxx principality will definitely be more worried than me. ”
"You ..."
Adolf couldn't stand this shameless remark, but he didn't want to face the face that would make him vomit when he saw it, so he didn't say anything and walked out of the hall directly.
After Adolf had left, Arad I sat upright in his place, and he used the rich black velvet as a blanket to cover the crook of his legs, and looked at the letter that Adolf had left on the table, and the old fox shook his head,
"Hehe, Adolf, Turanian Knights, whether you like it or not, Anumanche will always be the shield of the kingdom of Arad, orcs, I don't think they can cross the plains!"
"Muen!"
Arad I shouted, and a thin, bamboo-like clerk with a notebook and quills in his hand quickly appeared behind him,
"Give the order to General Green, and the legions around Argentshire should retreat 100 miles!
"Also, a secret order was sent to General Dornan, Anumanche's army is likely to attack our line of defense in the near future, just let him behave, leave some old and weak, and bring me the elite soldiers, we never planned to fight those cultists and orcs by ourselves, Adolf wants to go and wrestle with the orcs, let him go!
"By the way! Tell Godin that if he can't find the sisters and their joking "resistance" within a month, he'd better give up the position of Knight Chief of the Inner Court!
As he tasted the blood-red wine, Arad I gave several orders, and finally, he concluded as if he were talking to himself,
"Whether it's a mediocre talent or a genius, I don't raise waste in my court!"
In another place where the story takes place, under the colder moonlight in the northern frontier, a team of hundreds of people is marching silently in the moonlight, and the environment here is a mixture of earthy yellow grassland and Gobi, which looks like it is at the intersection of the Dragon Plain and the Silent Mountains.
At the front of the line, two girls in black leather armor were riding on horses, whispering,
"The hounds of Arad are getting closer and closer to us, and if we continue like this, we will soon be bitten by them!" (To be continued.) )
