Chapter 60 Prosperity and Decline

Several of the guards near him looked at Hewitt muttering to himself, and they all muttered to themselves if their master was crazy?

An operation against Walls began with Hewitt, and for Walls, he had no idea of these things.

King Ragnar held a banquet in Sagoth, inviting the lords of all the kingdoms to Sagoth, and among them Walls was also one of the people who must be invited, and he was a man who had won a great battle and destroyed the entire kingdom of Rhodok, and naturally he would be rewarded enough for this banquet.

In a few days, the news of Walls' conquest of the kingdom of Rhodok spread throughout the continent, Maltas was a general under the Kugit Khanate, Maltas thought that he was not much different from Walls, but looking at his eyes, he was actually restrained by a woman named Farvia.

In fact, being pinned down was just one side of Maltas's words, and the two of them were inseparable.

At this time, the Kugit Khanate and the Saland Sultanate were fighting for Rana.

The Salander Sultanate took advantage of the Kugit Khanate to attack the Kingdom of Vegia, sneak attacked the Kugit Khanate, and took Halma in one fell swoop, under the leadership of Farvia, the army of the Saland Sultanate was overwhelmed, and it was about to take Lana, but Maltas suddenly returned to defend Lana, which made it difficult for Farvia to break Lana, but after the two of them used all kinds of schemes, Lana was constantly being fought over by the armies of the two countries. Today it was the Kugit Khanate that captured the city, and tomorrow it was the Salander Sultanate that took it back.

It was because of the lack of progress in the city of Lana that Maltas was never able to recapture Halma. Saga Khan began to doubt Maltas's abilities. This was a mortal danger for Maltas.

As usual, Sagos has maintained peace for a long time on this war-torn continent, which is commendable. In the early morning, the guards opened the gates as usual, and the caravans were not attacked by the robbers, and King Ragnar sent troops to sweep away all the robbers in the vicinity.

The guard yawned lazily, and he had just woken up from his sleep, when one of his companions stretched and leaned against the gate to watch the sun rise in the distance.

Who will be the first to enter the gates today?

The soldier's mind was bored with this question.

It was at this time that a flag slowly rose on the horizon in the distance, and only nobles on the continent were allowed to appear with flags, and these soldiers defending the city immediately cheered up, this is the city under the rule of King Ragnar, they naturally have to show a radiant appearance, and it is essential to be energetic, if the nobles come to King Ragnar's territory and see a group of uneducated soldiers, they will naturally think that King Ragnar is also an uneducated person. In any case, these soldiers were also the face of King Ragnar.

"Lord Hewitt?"

A soldier shouted unconsciously, Sagoth has sent a notice to the lords of all parts of the country, and now the lords of all parts of the country are rushing to Sagoth to hold a banquet, this time the protagonist of the banquet is naturally Walls in the south of the continent, he broke through the kingdom of Rhodok and captured King Graves alive, and now General Walls is leading King Graves to Sargos, and King Ragnar will personally exile King Graves.

Hewitt's territory was just a small castle, and it was not far from Sagoth, and the lords who were close did not come to Sagoth, but it was Hewitt who was the first to come. This not only made these soldiers a little confused.

What is he doing so soon? No one answered their questions, they just bred up and gave a standard courtesy to Hewitt's troops, after which Hewitt's troops entered Sagoth.

Hewitt was dressed in a black robe and a black hood on his head, and no one could see his face, and the guards to his left and right rode a horse, and it was the outside who held his banner in his hands. That's the banner of two knives.

Prove that he wants to turn from a businessman to a warrior.

Hewitt didn't even look at the soldiers who were defending the city, riding his horse straight into the center of the city, now Sagos can be said to be extremely wealthy, without the invasion of war, more and more immigrants to settle in Sagos, many people who have been displaced by the war also come to Sagos to seek livelihood. The saxophone was thriving. But Hewitt didn't look at these people much, these guys didn't appear in Hewitt's eyes at all. He had only one goal, and that was King Ragnar in the hall of lords in Sagoth.

As he reined in his horse, the horse he sat down made a sound of horsemanship, and some of the troops behind him also stopped, and the guards pulled the reins and stopped their horses from advancing.

"I want to meet King Ragnar!"

Hewitt dismounted and said to the group of guards in front of King Ragnar's door. The other horse-mounted guards followed in Hewitt's footsteps and dismounted.

Both Hewitt and the guards were dressed in the same attire, almost all of them wearing black robes, and those ordinary foot soldiers were the uniform equipment of the standard Nord warriors.

This made these guards scratch their heads, it stands to reason that there were still a few days before the banquet began, why did Hewitt arrive in Sagoth so quickly? That was the first thing that came to the guard's mind, and he thought Hewitt had come to the banquet. Therefore, after greeting Hewitt, he immediately went to convey Hewitt's meaning and told King Ragnar that Hewitt wanted to see him.

On the inside of the hall of the lords, there was King Ragnar's bedroom, and a few days before King Ragnar received good news from the south, and King Ragnar was very happy, and drank so much that he was drunk and lay in bed this morning.

"Your Majesty! Huwitt Yarle asks to see you! ”

The guard bowed respectfully to King Ragnar and spoke.

King Ragnar rubbed his eyes, she had a big drink last night, and she was still a little dizzy when she woke up this morning, looking at the sun outside the window, he knew that it was not too early, and it was time to go and govern his territory properly. But then again, why do you rule over your land? As long as there is Walls, who else is his opponent on this continent? Besides, after annexing the Kingdom of Rhodok, he is the most powerful country on the whole continent, who else dares to say no to himself?

However, since Hewitt has arrived, Ragnar definitely has no intention of not seeing him, anyway, he is happy these days, so he can do whatever he wants!

In order to maintain his majesty in front of his men, King Ragnar still got up as before. After a brief wash, King Ragnar tidied up his appearance and walked out of his room to prepare for the main hall of the lord's hall to meet Hewitt.

"Hewitt! I'm glad you were able to come to my territory for my banquet so soon, but speaking of which, there are still a few days before my banquet is held, so what are you doing so early? ”

Hewitt stood there respectfully, bending down and saluting, not daring to make the slightest irregular movement.

Even King Ragnar nodded at Hewitt's courtesy.

What a good boy who knows how to be polite! King Ragnar praised in his heart.

Hewitt glanced at the guards on his left and right, and there was a message in his eyes, and King Ragra understood in an instant. He waved his hand to let all the guards on his left and right leave. Soon only Hewitt and King Ragnar were left in the entire castle hall.

Hewitt was still dressed in a black robe, and from the moment she entered the door, his expression was forever fixed on the moment she entered the door.

"Your Majesty! I have something to say to you! ”

"What's the matter? What else is there to discuss in my country? I have become the most powerful nation in the whole continent, I own half of the territory of the whole continent, and there is no country that is my opponent! ”

King Ragnar now feels a great sense of accomplishment, and he feels that his deeds will go down in history and be sung forever. Now he was impatient to explain his things to everyone in the neighborhood.

Just as King Ragnar was triumphant, Hewitt burst out laughing. It caused a wave of surprise and anger among King Ragnar!

"What are you laughing at!"

King Raghera said angrily, her face instantly darkened, and King Ragnar felt unprecedented irony at Hewitt's laughter.

Hewitt stopped laughing wildly, and his expression went back to the way before, as if nothing had happened.

The interior of the lord's hall was dimly lit, and the only thing lit around it was a fire, made of wood cut from the nearby forest.

In the light of the fire, Hewitt's face became more and more difficult to see for some reason, his black robe still covered her body, and the black hood covered half of his face, and King Ragnar could not see the expression on his face for a moment.

"Your Majesty!"

Hewitt said in an emotionless voice.

This voice was extremely cold and cold. King Ragnar heard this voice as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and the anger he had wanted to vent was now extinguished. In turn, an unprecedented calmness was formed.

"What do you want to say?"

King Ragnar's voice became calm, he wondered what Hewitt was doing so early?

"Your Majesty, do you remember what I told you before? Meritorious master, Walls has conquered the entire Rhodoc Kingdom, his prestige is unprecedented, and his influence is absolutely unprecedented in the history of the entire Nord Kingdom, and it is not you who records the annals of history, but Walls. ”

It's like giving Ragnar a stick. Woke him up hard.

"I see!" King Ragnar is a smart man, how could he not understand what Hewitt was trying to express, just Hewitt's words, King Ragnar seemed to be a different person, the previous joy was gone, he knew how to deal with Walls during this banquet.

King Ragnar waved his hand slowly, and now he became very calm, and Hewitt knew that his goal had been achieved, and turned away without saying a word. The light of the fire shining on her became clear at this time, as if to speak of his victory.

Walls, Walls, even if you conquer a sixth of the continent, I can put you to death with just a few words.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the castle hall, Hewitt couldn't help but laugh. A smug smug echo through the laughter.

After a few days, our Walls finally arrived in Sagoth, accompanied by the non-surrendering lords of the kingdom of Rhodoc, and of course King Grievous. King Ragnar would have exiled him overseas, but on which island? There's no way to know!

Walls looked back at her troops, this time it was the elite troops she had carefully selected, they all made great contributions in this war, Walls brought a small number of troops this time, after all, the kingdom of Rhodok had just been occupied, and a large number of soldiers were needed to be stationed in this area, and there was a rebellion among the immigrants.

In the distance, the soldiers defending the city all showed happy expressions when they saw the banner of Walls, and Walls was an unprecedented god of war in their minds, so they were naturally happy to accept our arrival in Sagos. The people of Saagoth already knew about the prestige of Wall, so they were very happy that Walls was able to reach their city, and many people watched from the city walls to watch Walls arrive, and the streets were crowded with people, they were all woodcutters, fishermen, farmers, and other workers in the neighborhood, and these ordinary people also wanted to see Walls.

The soldiers along the way stopped the people, and in order to prevent them from causing chaos, a road was forced out of the way by this group of soldiers, and Walls and his army slowly walked to the castle hall in this way.

Walls remembered that he had been to Sagoth, and had booked a camping in the hotel, only to see that there was no one in the tavern he had once again passed by the tavern where he had been.

However, when Wall slowly moved forward and changed his perspective, he could see clearly that there was an old man who was drinking, and she was drinking alone in the tavern, because everyone else had already run out to watch Wall, because Wall was a big hero to the Nord Kingdom.

Who is this old man? Such a special person naturally attracted Walls's attention, but if he didn't take a look at his demeanor, Walls didn't get angry at all, he was just an old man!

But suddenly, there was a slight movement in Lorimer in his arms.

"What's going on?"

Walls asked in his mind.

"I don't know! I don't know what's going on, I just feel a little uneasy! ”

As Wall was about to continue asking, he heard an old voice in his ears.

Walls looked left and right, the old voice muttering to himself, and suddenly he stopped, and at this point Walls also discovered the source of the sound. In the tavern, the old man who was drinking alone was staring straight at Walls.

"Prosperity must fall!"

The old man just spit out these words faintly. He then got up and left the tavern. Exited through another door.

"Prosperity or decline?"

Walls only heard the words, but he suddenly couldn't figure it out. Why do you say this to yourself?

With this question in mind, Wall's warhorse slowly sent Walls to the lord's hall.

In the hall of lords, there have already been many lords of the Nord Kingdom. These people all arrived at Sargoth before Wall, after all, it would take a long way to reach Sargoth from the kingdom of Rhodoc, and these lords who were closer could reach Sargoth first. These lords who were one step ahead were definitely the ones who didn't participate in the battle, but that didn't stop them from coming to this feast. After all, there are some older lords among them, so leave the war to these young people!

The other lords scattered across the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rhodoc also followed in the footsteps of Walls and reached Sagoth. All of a sudden, Sagoth seemed to be overwhelmed by a group of people, and all the streets and alleys could be seen with Nord soldiers, all of whom were Nord soldiers fighting in the southern kingdom of Rhodok.

Since it was a Nord soldier who was fighting in the south, he would naturally be welcomed by the Nord people, and at this moment, the whole Saxophone was filled with a kind of celebratory joy. Needless to say, this is the joy of victory.

King Ragnar looked at Walls without the slightest expression, exactly like many of the lords present. As soon as he stepped through the door of the castle hall, Walls sensed that something was wrong.

"My Majesty! I have brought King Graves to you. It's all up to you! ”

King Ragnar sits above the main seat in the castle hall. His expression still didn't change in the slightest, and he looked at Walls without a trace of emotion.

"I'll find a good place to exile King Griffos."

King Ragnar said without a hint of emotion.

It's a threat! A threat greater than King Griffos.

Perhaps one day in the future, Walls will be innocently exiled like King Graves. King Ragnar thought.

I'm going to get rid of it! I'm going to get rid of him!

Things went quickly, and King Griffos was chosen to be exiled in a secret location known only to a few high-ranking nobles, and Wall was clearly not among them.

Back at the lodging where the nobles were entertained, Walls was a little worried.

"What's wrong? Do you think King Ragnar is going to do something to you? ”

Lorimer said.

"I should have thought of it a long time ago! I'm still working so hard for him! After this battle in the Kingdom of Vegia, I knew that Ragnar didn't trust me, and that tomorrow, tomorrow he would..."

Walls didn't continue, a long-standing sense of crisis flooded his brain, and he barely thought about it, calling out to his sleeping brothers and the Nord soldiers who were fighting with him.

"Brothers, let's go back to the south, I have received a secret letter that a group of rebels is visiting the kingdom of Rhodoc, and we cannot let the fruits of our victory fall apart.

At the sound of our call to them, the troops of the descendants led by Walls quickly departed from Sagoth.

This was something that King Ragnar had not anticipated.

And according to what Wall himself said, it can be judged that something happened in the south, so Wall returned to the territory of the Kingdom of Rhodok without directly declaring it to King Ragnar. But who would believe that? This only increased the suspicion of King Ragnar, who had already decided to eradicate Walls. The relationship between the two immediately became extremely strained. All because of Hewitt, and King Ragnar's own suspicions.

"Walls! You're going to die! It's no wonder to me. "After Hewitt heard King Ragnar say that the descendants of the troops led by Walls had returned to the Rhodoc Kingdom, he decided that Walls would definitely die, and it stands to reason that King Ragnar is still firmly in control of the military forces of the major lords, which means that most of the forces of the Nord Kingdom will be mobilized by King Ragnar, and the army of the entire Nord Kingdom will be faced in Walls, with a total of about 2,000 Nord soldiers. And Walls was loyal to him except for those troops that belonged only to him, and it was believed that not many lords would follow him in treason.

So, at most, Walls would have assembled an army of more than 700 men.

Such a change in the banquet was unexpected by all the lords, and Rudjar wanted to come out and defend Walls, but under the angry gaze of King Ragnar, no one dared to stand up and question Walls. After all, Walls had led his troops to flee the city secretly, but what did escaping the city mean? Is it impossible for something to happen in the South?

King Ragnar did not want to investigate the truth of this matter at all, so he immediately summoned the lords in the banquet and went to pursue Walls.

Instead of returning to his territory the way he came, Walls chose a detour, because if he wanted to pass through the territory of the Nord Kingdom, he would definitely be intercepted by the major lords, so he would start a detour from the territory controlled by the Kugit Khanate, and shuttle between the border between the Nord Kingdom and the Kugit Khanate.

That's the best way to do it. Therefore, in order to avoid the pursuit of the fallen lords, Walls chose to march near the borders of the Kugit Khanate. Although the accompanying Nord soldiers were a little puzzled, why they did not take the shortcut route of their own kingdom, but took a long detour to reach the vicinity of the Kugit Khanate.
