Chapter 52: Such a Fierce Attack
Prince Vidim and Dorupoye had taken refuge in the Saiga Khan, and only Count Degrana had disappeared. He also knew that he had lost his son, so he didn't want to continue to mess around here, he had lost his country twice, and what shame did he have to continue to work under Saiga Khan.
For Saiga Khan, Doruboye and his group of lords surrendered to him, of course he was willing to accept it, but Prince Vidim would never accept it, this guy is almost the successor of King Yarogerke, it stands to reason that he is the most powerful to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Veguia, as long as he wins this civil war, he can get the throne in the name of justice, Saiga Khan will not want the people of the Kingdom of Vegia to look forward to their previous royal family returning to their side. Saiga Khan decided to cut the grass and eradicate it.
Of course, these are things to be done later.
Before he knew it, Walls had crossed the plain, crossed the river, and followed the river from Kulau to Suggs, and occasionally a forest stood out, and everyone was laughing and laughing, and they had returned home with a full load of war.
Walls has also been in a good mood these days, Hafen and Joels are both famous generals in the Kingdom of Virginia, although Joels's prestige is worse than Finn's, but Walls, who fought with Joles before, understands Joels' strength, as long as he surrenders any of them, then the certainty of attacking the Rhodok Kingdom will increase by one point.
Wall's own war horse, thinking of this, he looked back at Sun and Joels on the prisoner cart, and at this moment Wall noticed that the expressions of the two were completely different. One looks as if he has lost hope of this world, while the other is full of ambition, as if ready for revenge.
What will happen to these two? Walls said to himself.
The battle of the city of Kurau immediately spread throughout the continent, and the fame of Maltas spread to the ears of every common civilian on the continent with those who spread it. Naturally, the first to get the news must have been the rulers of the major kingdoms, they have arranged some people to observe the situation inside the territory of other kingdoms, and King Graves of the Rhodok Kingdom is no exception, he is now in Djerkhara, and when he heard his heralds report this matter to him, he realized that the crisis of the Rhodok Kingdom was coming. At this time, the Nord Kingdom will change from a two-front battle to a unilateral attack on the Rhodok Kingdom. And it must be to have Walls as a marshal.
This is not something King Griffos wants to see.
It seemed that King Graves had been frightened by Walls, and he quickly dispatched most of his troops to Viruga, which was a plain terrain and a city that was the best to attack, and he felt that Wall would attack this city first.
Walls returned to Sargoth, and King Ragnar had already prepared to take over the dust for Walls, although King Ragnar did not get the territory of the Kingdom of Virginia, but it would be nice to have half of it.
The banquet was set up in the castle hall of Sagos, where countless servants were carrying food and drink, delicious fresh fish was the main ingredient here, pork and chicken were indispensable, and precious beef and lamb were also served on the table. Sagoth spent a lot of money on this banquet this time. Not only will the main leader of this war, Wall, be entertained, but the other lords will also be entertained.
The lord's banquet was naturally luxurious, and Ragnar was not stingy with his wealth, and he also gave a certain amount of food to the soldiers under the other lords.
In the hall, Walls was received by King Ragnar with the utmost sincerity, and the guards and attendants on both sides stood up to show their respect for Walls.
It was at this time that Walls walked straight into the hall, and King Ragnar himself came down from his seat to receive Walls.
It seems that Walls has become the most important person in the kingdom.
"Walls, I've heard about you, and you're alone in the northern part of the Kingdom of Vegia. This time, all these conquered territories should be given to you as a reward. ”
King Ragnar said that this should have been a reasonable thing to do, and the righteous and good lords naturally warmly congratulated Walls for being able to handle it so successfully, but the cruel and ruthless lords did not think so. They are always thinking about themselves, and sometimes some people become extremely irritable because of jealousy.
Hewitt is one of them, he was originally a merchant, and he originally wanted to join the Nord Kingdom to become a nobleman, but the appearance of Walls made his plan come to naught, this guy took away all his original credits, and this northern territory of the Virginia Kingdom should belong to himself.
What he can do, I can do! Hewitt shouted to himself in his own heart. His hateful eyes were constantly staring at Walls, and the nobles sitting next to him could feel the aura of hatred emanating from him. However, they lived with Hewitt and naturally had a close relationship with Hewitt, and these little lords also hated the great achievements of Walls.
King Ragnar was so happy that he took Walls by the hand and waited until he walked to the top seat in the hall, which was closest to King Ragnar, showing his noble status and glory. Originally, it was supposed to be the most respected person in the kingdom, but now King Ragnar has given this seat to Wall, which indirectly shows Walls' position in King Ragnar's mind.
His status was so high that it almost made the eagles feel jealous. Those lords who were originally more senior, looking at this rising star, there were some people who were dissatisfied with Walls. Idenjarl sat in the back, drinking his own bitter wine. She was originally a belligerent lord, and this battle did grab a lot of wealth, and his Walls didn't have much hatred.
Tuyaar was a cunning lord who admired Walls's brilliance and was determined to win him over.
Olafjarr had a short temper, and at this moment it seemed that he was a little unhappy with Walls. He hadn't participated in a single battle in this battle, and he had been staying inside the kingdom waiting for good news, all because of King Ragnar's orders. Seeing that this young junior had achieved such great results, he was inevitably a little jealous.
The banquet was held for a long time, about three days and three nights. According to the rules, the lord was to be rewarded after the feast, but the day before the reward, that is, on the evening of that day, Hewitt suddenly came to visit King Ragnar.
King Ragnar had been in a good mood for the last few days, so he didn't feel any anger at Shuik coming to visit him in the middle of the night. Instead, he calmly let him in.
In recent days, King Ragnar seemed to have gone back to his old days, and the long pleasures of his youth had made his body happy and healthy, and his face was much more rosy than before. It was like a big tree that had hidden in the cold wind and reduced its branches, but now it has returned to spring to sprout and sprout leaves.
"What did you come to me for?"
King Ragnar said to Hewitt as he drank a glass of wine.
Nearly everyone at the banquet did not notice Hewitt's hateful eyes, including Walls himself, who believed that he had returned to the interior of the kingdom and had no enemies for the time being. But he couldn't be more wrong to think so.
"Your Majesty, you have been very happy in the past few days, Walls has taken the northern part of the Kingdom of Virginia and divided the Kingdom of Virginia with the Khanate of Kugit, which is a great achievement and will be praised by future generations, but Your Majesty, do you feel that the honor you have given me is too high."
Hewitt buried his head low, not wanting King Ragnar to see his face, which had been distorted by hatred, and which exuded an ominous aura all over his body.
King Ragnar sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and Hewitt did not speak in the same tone as before, with a strong indescribable smell in it.
"In that case, what do you want?"
Hewitt avoided answering, but instead told a story about a frontline with profound truths.
"When a man's prestige surpasses that of the country's monarch, he is most likely to take the place of the country's monarch."
Hewitt said this almost at the risk of beheading, in defiance of King Ragnar's prestige.
As soon as these words came out, King Ragnar seemed to have been struck by lightning, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.
He didn't get angry, he didn't blame Hewitt for being so outspoken, because there was only one of his cronies around.
"I see, Hewitt, I'll take care of this."
"Yes, I see."
Hewitt retreated, as did the cronies beside him, and an old man with a slender figure stepped out, who seemed to have melted into the darkness so that no one had noticed it.
"Peters, tell me what you think."
"All I can say is that I haven't seen through him yet."
Peters, his old eyes, looked at King Ragnar.
"I can't be sure of his character for the time being, he is an outsider, he was not originally the lord of the Nord Kingdom, the lords of the older generation of the Nord Kingdom are a little jealous of Walls, they all know that Walls will get all the territories in the north of the Virginia Kingdom, which can simply form a small country, any lord will be greedy, but I believe that some of those lords of the older generation will swear allegiance to you, they are originally the natives of the Nord Kingdom, if there is no extreme situation, They will not betray this country. ”
King Ragnar nodded. This remark only woke him up, Wall had always been an outsider, completely different from the lords of the Nord kingdom who had been here for generations, why did he favor an outsider and give up his own family?
Therefore, on the second day, there was an unbelievable situation, the territory that Wall had captured was now divided among the lords, and Wall only got Fort Djerber and Fort Ismolola.
Looking at Walls' questioning eyes, looking at the group of generals under him, his face was shocked and puzzled. They were answered by King Ragnar's indifferent eyes.
The result of the matter was very satisfactory to the lords of the older generation of the Nord Kingdom, they were all lords who followed Walls to fight, and they were naturally happy to get the territory at this time, and after satisfying this group of old lords, King Ragnar nodded and waved his hand to let these lords return to their fiefdoms.
Walls didn't say much, he also knew that King Ragnar seemed to be at ease with himself, he was just an outsider all along, and outsiders should be treated like outsiders.
Immediately afterward, Walls, like the other lords, returned to his fiefdom, of course, not the two castles that had been recently rewarded, but to his original base, which was Suno.
"After working so hard for so long, I only got these two castles, and King Ragnar has completely backtracked."
This was Jack's most complained about, and he kept nagging in Wall's ear during the journey from Sagoth to Suno. As for Jack's words, Walls didn't pay much attention to it, but looked careless.
In Wall's arms, Lorimer whispered in Wall's heart.
"There is no doubt that King Ragnar is not comfortable putting such a large territory under your control, and half of the Kingdom of Vegia can almost compete with a part of the Nord Kingdom, so he has to weaken you. In recent times, you have to pretend to swallow your anger, and don't complain too much, and reach the ears of King Ragnar, for I am afraid that no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to outrank many times your own enemies. At the same time, you have to show that you are not ambitious, so that you can weaken King Ragnar's suspicion of you. ”
"Yes, I see."
The group crossed the plains of the Swadia Kingdom and stepped into the territory of Walls, on the endless plains, above the immunity of Suno, although Sunno was not the richest city in the original Swadia Kingdom, but a city had enough wealth, and Walls also grabbed a lot of wealth from the Kingdom of Vecchia, although King Ragnar only gave him two castles, but he still had a considerable amount of wealth.
When Walls returned to his domain, King Ragnar began his next move, and Idenjarr strongly recommended that King Ragnar and Saga Khan form an alliance, and the friendly agreement brought back by Walls was also reviewed by King Ragnar.
After taking into account Peters' advice, King Ragnar finally decided to ally with the Saiga Khan, which meant that the two countries would not be at war for a short time. One wants to continue to expand to the south to attack the Sultanate of Salander, and the other is also sitting on such a dream, the forces of the Nord kingdom have gradually begun to gather in the south, the major lords have begun to recruit troops again, the kingdom of Rhodok has just recovered from the shadow of its defeat, King Griffos has expanded his army, and King Ragnar has no doubt that his next target is the kingdom of Rhodok in the southern mountains.
In the castle hall of Sagoth, this hall still has the joy of celebrating a few days ago, but now King Ragnar has no joy at all, his eyebrows stretched before because of the banquet are wrinkled again, the goal has been set, he will not annex the Kugit Khanate, and the kingdom of Rhodok will become his next target.
"Peters, tell me, who should be chosen as the marshal for this attack on the Rhodok Kingdom?"
King Ragnar sat on the chair in the hall, a chair made especially for him, this was his throne, and the hall was empty, except for Peters and King Ragnar. It was a secret conversation between the two of them.
Peters, as before, looked at King Ragnar with his old eyes.
There seemed to be a little helplessness in his tone, but in the end he still said what he was thinking.
"I don't think anyone is more suitable for the position of marshal than Walls, and now that his plans have been recognized by the various lords within the kingdom, I think that if he were to be the marshal, he would definitely be in the same position as the lord within the kingdom, except for some of the lords who are extremely jealous. The strength of the lords within the united kingdom is the most important point in defeating the kingdom of Rhodok. ”
King Ragnar frowned, not long ago he had just broken his trust in our country, and did not give me the promised territory, and at this time he would send Walls as a marshal to continue to attack the kingdom of Rhodok, which would inevitably cause Walls's dissatisfaction.
"Isn't there anyone else?"
King Ragnar asked again, after all, he didn't want to continue to use Walls, and whether the position of marshal could be held by someone else?
"I don't think it gets any better than that."
King Ragnar sighed, at this time he had no other way, she herself had filmed enough spies to go to the kingdom of Rhodok, judging from the information sent back, in recent days, King Grims's territory was heavily guarded, and began to mobilize a large number of troops to Viruga, although Uxhall was in the hands of King Graves, but King Grimivos did not seem to want to continue to control a city, as can be seen from the fact that he sent troops to Viruga.
In desperation, King Ragnar finally made a final decision, and he sent his herald to demand war from the lords of the Wall assembly country in Suno, targeting the kingdom of Rhodok in the south.
The herald was fast, and the day after Wall returned to his camp, he had already reached Wall's hands.
When Walls took the letter handed to him by the herald, he suddenly discovered that he still had a certain place in King Ragnar's mind.
"Let's take it next, if you don't, King Ragnar will definitely be even more angry, which is not good for your position in the country."
Lorimer suddenly said in Wall's heart that he was also a carefully considered person.
"In that case, then I will be the marshal of the Nord Kingdom and lead the lord of the kingdom to attack the Rhodok Kingdom in the south."
Soon, Walls immediately used the wealth he had stolen from the Kingdom of Virginia to recruit troops and expand the army, although Jack was a little dissatisfied with Walls's behavior, King Ragnar had not treated him fairly, and now he continued to dictate to him, but Walls did not think so.
Soon, King Grimfus, who was in Veruga, received news that Walls, as the marshal of the Nord Kingdom, was assembling lords from all over the country to attack the Rhodok Kingdom, and King Ragnar had declared war on the Rhodok Kingdom, and there must be a big war between the two countries. King Griffos immediately summoned his lord and hurried to Viruga.
Veruga is located on the plains of the Rhodok Kingdom, here is one of the best cities to attack, the nearby castles do not have mountain terrain, without the geographical advantage is naturally the easiest cities and castles of the Rhodok Kingdom to attack, compared to other castles built in the mountains, such as Kurma Fort, these castles are built on high mountains, often easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In this case, King Grievos's goal was to defend Viruga and the nearby castle, and as for Uxhall, which originally belonged to the Kingdom of Svadia, King Grievos decided not to.
The Nord Kingdom is now much more powerful than the Rhodok Kingdom, and it is easy to capture Uxhall, so it is better to continue to hold on to Veruga, because Veruga is relatively close to the core area of the Rhodoc Kingdom, so the speed of obtaining supplies is much faster than that of Uxhall, who alone gets supplies. So it's easier to hold on to Viruga.
At the same time, King Graves also learned the lesson of the fall of the Kingdom of Vegia, strictly controlled the identity and loyalty of high-ranking people, and never allowed the traitors of the Nord Kingdom to mix into his own high-level, King Graves thought that he had done it properly. The elite soldiers were all transferred to Viruga, waiting to resist the attack of Walls.
While recruiting troops, Walls inquired about King Graves' actions, and when he heard that he had transferred a large number of troops to Viruga, he knew that this guy wanted to hold Veruga, so Walls decided to capture Uxhall first.
Uxhall was on the plains, and Wall ordered Emilyda and other lords to attack the city, but the defenders of the city could not withstand such a fierce attack due to King Griffos' orders.
