Harriman's army came to the front of Dragonhold and did not attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Harriman is not stupid, attacking the Dragon Castle, it is impossible to defeat it at all, his strategy is to besiege the city, surround the Dragon Castle, either go out of the city to fight, or just consume it like this, and see who consumes the food first. And he also said that the grain of Middle-earth is about to ripen, and he will help with the harvest.

On the first night of the garrison, Harriman consulted with his vassals about strategy, and many of them were worried that Xia Duo would not be taken advantage of by others because he had no defenders.

Harriman doesn't care about Xia Duo at all, the Dragon Castle is the imperial castle of the empire, as long as the Dragon Castle can be taken, nothing else matters, his siege strategy is also for other lords to see, Harriman actually wants to break through the Dragon Castle as soon as possible. The siege of the city was only a strategy, and the siege for a long time also had a great impact on the morale of his army.

The vassals all left and did not give him good advice. He knew there was another person who could help, but that person was so smart that he didn't trust him all the time.

Jack is brought in by the soldiers, and Harriman is the only one in the tent. He looked up a little gloomily, "Tell me, who the hell is your master?" Harriman asked.

Jack's expression remained respectful, but Harriman used the word 'master'. Harriman still treats him like a slave.

"If Your Majesty wishes my allegiance, I am more than willing to pledge allegiance to Your Majesty. I have no allegiance to anyone right now. ”

"Really, if I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be from Darren, right?"

"Not allegiance, he gave me money and promised to give me the status of a nobleman in the future. Now you are the new king. ”

"If I don't give you this, you won't be loyal to me?"

"I said that Your Majesty needs it, and I will be loyal to Your Majesty. ”

Harriman nodded, "Then tell me how to break through Dragon Keep quickly." ”

"Your Majesty, attacking Dragon Castle was not a rational decision in the first place. That's right, having defeated Connais, His Majesty can unify the empire. However, this is not the main thing. ”

"You mean, I should withdraw now?" Harriman said dissatisfied.

"I think Your Majesty should first stabilize the empire and establish new relationships with other lords. When the time comes, Dragonhold will only be fighting alone. But now, although the Eastern and Western Regions have expressed their allegiance to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty loses this battle, they will only be loyal to Kangnai immediately, and now the Black Earth Continent is two empires, and the Kara Mountains have also fallen, and Kangnai is actually just a battle of trapped beasts. ”

"No way, I've come to Dragon Castle, and if I withdraw my troops now, wouldn't it make others laugh. I thought you were really that smart, but it turned out that you were just a façade. ”

Jack frowned, he had always thought Harriman was a scheming fellow, but now he had become so impetuous. Maybe he just sat on the throne, and he was afraid of changes after a long time. If he fails this time, the end is death.

......

After three days of siege, Harriman still did not find a good solution, and his son persuaded him to go back first. Now Harriman is coming to his senses, but he can't just leave, he has to have a suitable excuse to withdraw. Soon, he found an excuse, and after another five days, the grain was fully ripe, and the Harriman sent men to begin harvesting the grain of Middle-earth.

When the harvest was over, his army withdrew, not only but also a large group of captives, who were not all civilians of Middle-earth, and he wanted to bring them back to the South Seas and help them in farming.

On the way back, he also sent invitations to the lords to participate in his enthronement ceremony.

......

In Dragoncastle, Connell got the news that there were about 20,000 civilians in Middle-earth, but half of them were taken away by Harriman, and the grain of the farmland was also robbed.

"This monarch killer is a bastard. Connell slammed his cane on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the top priority should be to befriend the Leo family and the Morton family first to solve the current predicament. Barron said.

"They're all steerers of the wind, and they won't choose their allegiance to me so easily. ”

"Then let them be independent. ”

"Independence?" Connell wondered, "We'll be more dangerous then." ”

"No, they are independent and will only serve as a barrier for us, and Harriman's army will never be able to pass through again. No one wants a war, the Morton family doesn't want it, war costs money. The Leo family didn't want to, they didn't even have money. As long as His Majesty promises, when the Harriman family besieges either side, His Majesty will send troops to help. I think they would like to be kings on their own. ”

"As long as they are kings on their own, we can trade with each other and have a chance to destroy Harriman. What's more, we have Beisai behind us, and the Brooke family. ”

"Father, Lord Barron has a point. This is our only chance. ”

......

Saiya Ice Palace, although it is a little slow to deal with new news, but fortunately, it knows everything. Now that Lin Yu is not here, the operation of the entire Beisai is basically to listen to Doyle, and Doyle will discuss some major matters with Vanessa.

"Madame, a letter has just arrived from your father. Doyle handed the letter to Vanessa.

After Vanessa finished reading it, she handed the letter to Doyle, "What do you think, Lord Doyle?"

"This is a very good solution, now that the adults are gone, I need my wife to come forward and take a stand. ”

Vanessa pondered for a moment, "I think your lordship will choose to remain loyal to the George family rather than a traitor who usurps the throne. ”

Although there are not many people and not many soldiers in Beisai, their position is still important, because of Lin Yu, because of this young dragon knight. As long as Beisai chooses to be loyal to the True Dragon Empire, the True Dragon Empire occupies more than half of the continent's territory. In this way, increasing Kangnai's bargaining chips will increase the chances of several other geographical independence.

......

Dragoncastle, Barron, and the Connell soldiers split up and secretly went to the Black Sparrow City and the Sunset Temple.

Black Sparrow City, Byron met with Barron, after listening to Barron's meaning, Byron still had the same expression, and said, "The current East is not the Western Regions, there is no capital, and there are not many troops, I believe in Connell's promise, but I don't want to experience war." ”

"No one wants to go through war. But... The situation is now chaotic. Barron was also helpless.

"So, if the East declares independence as king, Harriman's army will surely come against me first. Even if I win in the end, but I lose my troops and money, I will still be the weakest region after North Sai. When the time comes, I think that Connell, the new king, will surely demand our allegiance. ”

"As long as your Excellency is willing to agree, I can persuade Your Majesty to send troops to garrison the border. Moreover, Harriman is not stupid, he will not use troops casually. At least now no one wants war but him. ”

Hearing that troops were stationed, Byron didn't speak directly, picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine, "I think I should discuss it with my lords, this is a matter of survival in the East." ”

Two days later, the lords of the East came to Black Sparrow City to participate in this meeting. Under Barron's rhetoric, these people agreed, for the simple reason that if Byron became king of the East, they would have a lot more privileges.

......

After Harriman of Xia Duo got the news of the declaration of independence of the Eastern Western Regions and Black Rock Island, he smashed the table in anger. He didn't expect Dragon Castle to be so ruthless, preferring to completely split the entire continent.

Sitting in the palace, the ministers were discussing the matter. The independence of the Eastern and Western Regions meant that they had lost their previous advantage, and no one but the South Seas would help them.

The uncle of the new Prime Minister Harriman, Yves said, "Your Majesty, I think what we have to do now is to take the East before the situation is stable, and as long as we take the East, we will have an advantage." ”

"But Connais's army has rushed to the east, and we will engage the armies of both sides. ”

"Your Excellency. "Jack, who was standing at the back, stepped forward" and sent Xia Duo's slaves to disguise themselves as soldiers, feigned to attack Black Sparrow, and then sent a navy to land from the True Dragon River and take Dragon Castle directly. They will help the East, but the armies of the East will certainly not help them. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked. And Harriman laughed, "This is a good way, so let's do it." (To be continued.) )
