"The little princess...... Are the Three Prophets? ”

Eric blurted out.

Several people looked at each other.

"Perhaps. Brennus and the Three Prophets have been known to have cooperated, and if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the army of the Fallen, Qiao Yanwan would have been captured long ago. ”

Godric sighed.

"But that's not right, there is no Brenus territory around Lion City at the moment...... His sphere of influence is only around Fort Kenne, and it is said that he is at conflict with the Filzweins of Fort High Cliffs, so how can he attack Lion City? Fly over? ”

Alina stood up and said, "Besides, his son is still in my hands, he can't ignore Malbert's life, right?" How could he attack Lion City? ”

"Now it's possible for Brenus to do anything, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was going to marry that little girl...... I even think he's a puppet now. ”

Godric shook his head and looked behind Amy.

Amy has a map hanging behind her.

At present, only the eastern region and the Gulf of Tonkin are still under control.

Crag Bay, Lost Swamp Castle, Fort Kenne, and other places, the northwestern part of what was once the Lion Kingdom, are now the territory of Brenus, or the territory of heretics—a place full of heretics and degenerates.

Godric and Leofrick were besieged by the Fallen and forced to evacuate the Lost Castle.

Brenus was given a respite, and he proclaimed Princess Denise king, declared his side to be the right, and then launched a counterattack after the Fallen.

At that time, the Ravens returned to the north, and the Fieldswie suffered heavy losses in Lion Lake City, and Brennus's counterattack was unstoppable for a while.

So he attacked all the way south, and at one point broke through Haringosburg and hit the Lion City.

The imprints of the stones and chiseled walls on the walls of the Lion City were left by Brenus's troops.

In fact, there were people in the Lion City who defected to Brenus at that time, and some nobles were lobbying Amy to surrender, and even more nobles tried to cooperate with the outside world.

There are not a few who take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

But after Amy and her female soldiers captured a dozen nobles with their own hands, no one dared to mention surrender anymore, and there was no noise in the throne room - she sentenced some of the nobles for treason and desertion to hanging, and banished their families from the city.

At the same time, she drove all the nobles who planned to defect to Brenus or surrender to the outside of the city, leaving them to face Brennus's army directly.

In fact, those people didn't even have time to meet Brennus, because the first people they met were Fallen.

This resulted in thousands of people dying outside the Lion City.

After Leon's disappearance, Amy's heart was much more ruthless than ever.

Without Leon's protection, now, she must protect herself.

Although this response quickly earned Amy the nickname 'Tyrant', no matter what, there was unity in the Lion City, and no one was trying to stir up trouble anymore.

Moreover, the fact that Brennus fought with the Fallen was completely exposed to everyone - the Fallen did not know how to cooperate, and the tragedy under the Lion City was caused by them.

After discovering that Brennus's army appeared with the Fallen, most of the entire Lion Kingdom now regards Brenus as a heretic, and resists very resolutely.

The Lion Knights, whose reputation was already very stinky, has become an existence that everyone shouts at.

After that, Brennus did not gain an inch in Lion City, and Godric and Klose led the Silver Hand to attack Haringosburg and succeeded, cutting off Brennus's back road, and Brennus had to quickly withdraw his army and retreat to Crag Bay.

After that, Brenus did not attack again.

Both Fields and Raven Kingdom have fought big battles with the Fallen, and naturally they will not cooperate with Brennus - although the kings of these two countries are not good people, they are the kings of one country, and they really can't do anything to join forces with the devil.

Therefore, it is difficult for Brennus's power, or heretical power, to expand.

We all know that there are a lot of depraved people on Brenus's territory, and they are not easy to deal with, and of course no one will attack them in a big way, but as long as they appear elsewhere, everyone will do their best to resist them.

And Fort Howling, Short Howling Village, Azgold and other places have been captured by Fieldsway.

The villages of Long Howl and Short Howl are actually sparsely populated, but Azgold is a large town, and Count 'Red Sword' is stationed here with a large army.

Fort Kellaidan was occupied by the Caliph of Tahir, Lord of Desha, and it was also a densely populated city, but Tahir lost his power in Singar after conquering Fort Kellaidan, and Ramon expelled all of Tahir's men and the Knights of Dusk from Singar.

Today, Singal is once again an independent city-state, refusing to allow the lords of any country to enter.

And Luxin Village is stationed with General Agasong's troops; Bemonfarai is stationed with General Creon's troops, all of whom are 'reinforcements' sent by the Bacchus Empire, and they are indeed helping the Lion Kingdom in its war, and these two generals will never kill the civilians of the Lion Kingdom.

But everyone knew that the incessant wars with Fieldway and Descha were all provoked by them......

Luxin Village and Bemonfarai are both located next to Luxin Lake, which is an important agricultural town around Lion City, and was once two of the most densely populated places in the Lion Kingdom.

The Bacchus Empire's armies are entrenched in these two places, and the intention is obvious - through the Deer Heart Lake and the Sava River, they can quickly send all the output of the richest land in Lion City back to the territory of Bacchus!

Up to now, the Lion Kingdom has become poorer and poorer in the past year, while the Bacchus Empire has basically fully recovered.

But in any case, there are indeed no Brenus or heretical forces around Lion City, in fact, the only one that has the ability to directly attack Lion City now is the Bacchus Empire - Fields was repulsed some time ago, and should not be able to attack for the time being.

Moreover, the two generals of the Bacchus Empire are also considered to be principled, they may not do their best when they encounter Fields or Deschas, but they will definitely kill them when they encounter heretics and degenerates.

No matter how powerful the heretic army is, it can't directly attack Lion City beyond so many surrounding forces.

"Perhaps, this letter of heresy has nothing to do with Qiaoyan Bay......

Cavira suddenly took a direction that no one expected.

"If it has nothing to do with Qiao Yan Bay, then who is this letter addressed to? There should be no more spies in the Lion City, and there will be no heresies - the female soldiers patrol every day, and everything is normal. ”

Godric was puzzled.

"I don't know, but ...... What is that little girl's name...... Danice: Right? Where is her hometown? Is there anyone else in the house? Her friends and relatives must want her to be king......"

Cavira asked.

It is true that the girl in the fishing village is uneducated, but perhaps it is this simple logic that allows her to see the most neglected places.

Princess Danice had no one left in her house, her biological father was Arlen, her adoptive father was Ulrique, and her mother was the former queen - all dead, even her maid-in-waiting.

Therefore, everyone subconsciously didn't think about whether this little princess, who was likely to be occupied by the three prophets, had other 'family members'.

"Her hometown should be in Barranley...... Gotta check if something happened to Barranli...... Then the problem is serious. ”

Eric muttered.

The town of Baranley is Queenstown, and it is also the fief of the queens of the Lion Kingdom, known as the back garden of the Lion City, where Ulrique is also buried.

As a result of more than a year of fighting, almost all of the western part of the kingdom fell into the hands of other nations, and during this time countless people fled to the town of Barranli or the Lion City.

At this time, there may be more refugees in Baranli than the population of Lion City - when you enter Lion City, you have to carry out military management, and most of the ordinary people stay in Baranli.

The heart of Queenstown, in particular, is now home to tens of thousands of refugees and is where Amy has been doing her best to help.

In order to keep those refugees alive, she even sold all the gold ornaments in the Lion City Palace, and most of the food production of White Deer Fort and Mai Xiangling was consumed in this area.

……

A few days later, the Throne Room.

“…… There is a riot in Barranley! Those refugees were instigated by some people with ulterior motives to attack our food depots that were being relieved, and we were too few people to deal with them, and the food for disaster relief was robbed......"

Eric frowned and said, "The situation is difficult to control now, it's best to blockade the whole city, we may have to face a difficult battle......"

"The patrol has already encountered some refugees who rioted. General Creon also sent a message mentioning the matter, and some mobs came to Bemontafa...... Creon does not want to harm civilians, he intends to withdraw his troops temporarily, otherwise there will definitely be a more serious conflict......"

Godric was also anxious: "But if Creon withdraws, the Fieldswie and the Decia will definitely turn all those refugees into slaves......"

"It was made by the nobles who originally lived in Queenstown. They claimed that the long war had made it impossible for them to live, and said that they wanted to end the war by welcoming Denise as king...... But in fact, some of them took the initiative to go to Qiyan Bay a few times, probably to negotiate a deal with the Three Prophets. ”

Alina was holding a small notebook, which was the information obtained by her agents.

"We're probably not manpower enough to stop the fanning mob...... The Lion City's reserves are also ......"

Eric was still carefully calculating the munitions.

"Alright...... Don't even talk about it......"

Amy stood up, her head bowed, her arms propped up on the conference table.

"Aristocrat...... Huh-huh...... Aristocrat! Do they want the Lion City so much? …… For the sake of power, they can collude with the devil, they can betray anyone, and they can even sit back and watch everyone become degenerates......"

"Maybe it's because I'm a woman...... Moreover, still a tyrant! ”

Amy sneered, suddenly got up and walked down the Silver Throne, all the way to the middle of the throne hall, and looked up at the dome.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... I dreamed of Leon last night. He's covered in wounds, he's full of beard, and his hair is longer than mine......"

Amy, with her back to everyone, suddenly spoke of her dreams on this solemn occasion.

"I remember what he said to me, but I couldn't hear it...... I was shouting at him, but he didn't seem to hear him. ”

"I could see him holding a handful of magic gold coins, as if he was looking for something—probably for his lost coin...... Maybe he was saying that he had left me so much wealth, but I had exhausted it all! ”

As she spoke, Amy's tears flowed.

She wiped away her tears, closed her eyes, and turned around: "I think he's coming back soon." ”

"Amy...... Kid, you're probably tired...... Go and rest, I'll take care of that. Erik, put your hands ......"

Godric put his arm around Amy's shoulder and comforted him, then turned his head to arrange business.

"No, Father, I'm going to give up Lion City! Just like Li Ang asked Emperor Marius to give up Siyuan City in the first place...... I don't want to get stuck in this quagmire anymore......"

Amy walked back to the throne.

"Li Ang once left us the most wealth in the whole continent, but it was all consumed by this bottomless pit in this year! Tens of thousands of people have been sent to war by us, and hundreds of thousands of refugees have been displaced...... It's like an abyss! ”

"Alina has persuaded me many times to give up Lion City...... But I'm not reconciled...... I was wrong, Alina, I should have returned to Long River! ”

"This time, I made up my mind...... I hope you'll be willing to let me be so willful—I'm going to take everything in Lion City, including everyone who will. Give this city, along with Harlem Gosburg, to the greedy nobles! ”

"Don't they want this city?"

"Give it to them!"

……

The first full moon night in October, Winter Solstice.

The town of Barranli, on the shores of Luxin Lake, in a gorgeous cemetery.

An unkempt, ragged man was being scooped up from a lake.

"This guy looks like he's dying...... There are refugees everywhere, so why bother...... And he's still a man! We're in the cemetery right now, and it's easy to spot! ”

A female warrior with a shovel persuades another woman.

"It's Winter Advent today, no one will come to the cemetery, and this town has just rioted, and no one will care about us. Don't you see what he's doing? If I'm not mistaken, it's gold! I'm short of money right now......"

The woman who was salvaging the man looked to be in her thirties, wearing a blue unicorn burqa - a nobleman, and a Fikavia nobleman.

A blue background, a white unicorn, which was once the coat of arms of Queen Ficavia.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't touch these filthy inferiors......"

The warriorwoman shook her head, reached out to separate the 'queen', and pulled the man floating in the lake with a shovel.

"I've been ousted from the throne, how can I be so exquisite...... Wait, this guy is a nobleman! Look at his clothes......"

The woman known as the queen suddenly screamed.

The man in the lake, a small golden coat of arms and a golden griffin could be faintly seen on his tattered black clothes.

"That's right...... How could civilians have gold coins...... Since it's a nobleman, it doesn't matter......"

The female warrior threw down her shovel and got straight into her hands, dragging the man out of the lake - it seemed that she was only willing to touch the nobleman with her hands......

"Is there any salvation? Ay...... What kind of gold coin is this? I've never seen it......"

The 'Queen' began to rinch the man's fingers, pulling out several shimmering gold coins from his clenched palms.

"His heart is beating very slowly, and he probably can't save ......"

The female warrior touched the man's heart and shook her head.

"Then bury him, I took his money, then I should find him a good place to make a grave...... There is always something to be paid off. ”

The 'Queen' sighed with some regret: "It's a pity, if he can be saved, he may be able to bring more money, or bring some troops......"

"That'...... Shall we bury him in this grave? This is the tomb of the Lion King...... It's worthy of him. Hurry up and dig the grave, Your Majesty, the Lion King's funeral goods must be more valuable than those few gold coins! You can't build an army with that little money......"

The female warrior picked up the shovel and pointed to a tombstone not far away.

The tombstone reads: "King Ulrik is buried here, a promising king who inherited the wisdom of both Gaozu Wulie and the previous king." ”
