The siege lasted nearly two months.

In the middle, two waves of reinforcements from the Bacchus Empire were struck.

King Ulrique's cavalry troops, as expected, arrived at Fort Sava after Count Auden had routed the enemy's 1st Support Army.

In the past two months, the treatment of the troops under the white griffin on a black background was extremely enviable......

While other troops were fighting bravely to besiege reinforcements, Leon's team sat on the top of the hill and watched the play;

The other lords were nibbling on dry bread and drinking cold water, while even the soldiers in Leon's ranks ate steaks and drank fine wine every day;

The equipment of other troops became more and more broken with the war, but the equipment of Li Ang's troops became better and better;

While the other troops gradually lost weight in the past two months, Leon's troops were ruddy and radiant......

There was no way, hundreds of 'supply trucks' had been following the banner of Li Ang, attracted by profits, and the merchants also had their own relatives and friends, and more and more businessmen participated in this activity to make a fortune.

Often, when a merchant goes back to replenish his stocks, he can bring two or three convoys again......

Of course, there are occasional times when you lose money.

A few days ago, in the southern part of the Sava Castle, a group of snake-worshipping thieves robbed the convoy of the 'Leslie Trading Co., Ltd.'.

Li Ang ran directly to Godric's barracks: "This time the dividend is gone, the additional loss is too great, the company is facing losses, there is no way!" ”

Godric was furious: "What a deception! ”

Subsequently, Baron Godric led his troops to chase down the Serpent Cult team for hundreds of miles, and even chased them into the hinterland of the Bacchus Empire.

After a fierce battle, Godric slaughtered the corpses of his opponent and recovered most of the goods.

The 'non-state forces' in Bacchus have seen a lot of experience now, but it's not over yet.

Hearing that the dividends were reduced, Count Auden sent his elite rangers all the way to the heart of the Bacchus Empire, and burned the nest of the snake worshippers to ashes on the enemy less than a hundred miles away from Boshi City.

A large number of cavalry units were then dispersed, patrolling back and forth along the caravans' replenishment routes, with great diligence.

As a result, the bandits in both the kingdom and the Bacchus Empire understood that the 'Maixiang Company' couldn't afford to provoke it......

But the good days were short-lived, and the battle came to an end after Emperor Marius of the Bacchus Empire gathered his army and came to the vicinity of Fort Sava River.

Duke Alma failed to make any advance at Karen Deer Castle and lost his troops, but succeeded in attracting the main force of the Bacchus Empire.

Emperor Marius marched and routed the entire army of Duke Alma under the city of Karen Deerburg.

Although the Count of Auden did not capture the Sava Fort, he broke two waves of enemy reinforcements, captured three great lords of the Bacchus Empire, and successfully occupied the south bank of the Sava River and recovered part of his homeland.

Even a massive fortification was built on the northern side of the Sava Fort, the site of the Singles' Day International Fair Hypermarket, which won the kingdom the dominance of the war.

This has achieved King Ulrik's strategic goals.

King Ulrike doesn't seem to have any intention of going head-to-head with Emperor Marius - and probably Emperor Marius doesn't have any plans to do so.

After a day of confrontation between the two sides, they retreated dozens of miles at the same time with a tacit understanding.

So, on January 1, 355 A.D., just as the new year had just begun, King Ulrik announced his retirement.

The war is over.

The lord's troops did not fight a single battle, but they returned with a full load.

But the lord can't go back to Mai Xiangling for the time being.

There is one more important thing that has not been completed - knighthood.

He asked Leslie to sort out the ledgers and lead the caravan back to McHill first, and told Anson to build various facilities and fortifications, and asked Sarah to make another trip to Long River to buy equipment.

It's a word to everyone: "Don't save it, spend it hard, and use all the gold coins!" ”

But it also reminded emphatically: "Remember to keep the recovered silver coins!" Remember, try not to spend silver coins! ”

Li Ang didn't know how much money he had in his hands at all, anyway, the core members of Mai Xiangling's leadership were all in their pockets - the lord didn't fool them, and now it was just the end of the year, and he did pay dividends according to shares.

The soldiers also gained weight several times.

The eyes of everyone looking at Li Ang were completely no different from looking at their own father.

Everyone has a deep understanding that war is wealth......

……

Leon was once again in the Lion City.

This time, he was no longer alone, and the Mettenheim hunks were waiting for him on King's Road.

Lion City still looks clean and tidy, but it's deserted.

Probably many merchants are out of stock, and many shops on the street are closed.

The palace of the Lion Kingdom looks quite atmospheric - it is a huge castle that has been said to be "glorious and respectful to the whole land".

The eight-storey castle is a majestic and towering castle located on the south side of the Lion City, beyond the walls of the Sava River.

It's only a few meters shorter than the former House of Nobles tower in the center of Lion City.

However, in Leon's opinion, this is just a larger castle, and there is nothing surprising in nature.

The only difference is that this big castle is full of gold.

The golden lion coat of arms on the exterior walls, the golden lion flag on a red background hanging everywhere, and the golden winter camellia planted everywhere - this may be used as a substitute for irises in winter.

In the palace, there must be flowers blooming all year round.

And inside the castle, there are golden domes, golden chandeliers, and golden utensils......

Even the doorknobs are golden.

If it weren't for the need to identify the location of the doorknob, I'm afraid that the whole door panel would have turned golden - a golden lion would have been burned out of the door by now.

I don't know why King Ulrik likes gold so much - he even has golden armor, and he is not afraid of being shot by the enemy on the battlefield.

The long corridor of the palace is magnificent, and even the red carpet under your feet has gold edges.

When Leon entered the throne room with the edict in hand, he nearly tripped over the long carpet in the corridor—the carpet in the corridor was made of velvet, but it was thick enough to sink into the soles of his feet.

In the throne room, however, there was no carpet.

There are very few people in the throne room, and probably His Majesty does not like to face too many people at the same time.

Unlike the gold color that is everywhere else, the throne room is quite austere.

The high dome is carved with various sculptures of deities, mostly stories related to Yunomia, just ordinary stone carvings with no ornate decorations.

There are two huge pillars in the hall, erected on either side of the throne.

The pillar is just the appearance of the stone itself, but the carving is very exquisite, and the legend of the first king Kavala is carved on the pillar, which looks quite expressive.

The throne in the middle, which appears to be made of silver, is designed as a sword and two wings of the sword.

King Ulrique was sitting on his throne, and from a distance it looked like a pair of silver wings had grown from his side.

Leon stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Leon Griffin is here."
