Chapter Twenty-Three: The Great War Resumes
Kayden was a lot more relaxed after completing the simulation, and he still had a hitchhike when he went back.
After she builds a suspended bridge with gold coins, Ruby's adoration of her has reached its zenith.
Kaiden almost didn't laugh out loud, Ge Lipeng was right, the physics level of this cosmic plane is too poor, and any small experiment can be regarded as a miracle.
On the way back, Cayden was still thinking about the prediction given by the simulator, which said that she would have a suitor in the fourth month, and if Cayden remembered correctly, the simulator used her next to the female character.
If nothing else, it should be the little maid named Ruby in front of you.
Cayden certainly had no interest in this kind of country girl, but Ruby's identity was a place to take advantage of.
She is Elia's personal maid, and Elia trusts her too, and if Ruby can be subdued, Elia's every move will not be hidden from her eyes.
Thinking about it this way, Cayden was also more gentle with Ruby, which made the little maid a little flattered.
…………
Half a month has passed in a flash, and the army has completed the assembly in Rock Snow City, reaching the fifteen thousand people required by Du Ren.
Thanks to the radio stations set up by the Shuangxiu Church in various places, after receiving the increased reimbursement amount from the board of directors, Li Yu purchased another 100 radio stations in one go, as well as supporting chargers and batteries.
He was then brought to Brattis in batches, and with the help of these radio stations, he succeeded in building a communication network that enveloped the western frontier.
So that even the lords in remote locations can always keep in touch with Rock Snow City.
This time, many noble lords used the radio station to issue a conscription order before returning home, which greatly shortened the mobilization time of the army.
And because the troops had to be divided into two routes, Miss Rabbit would go out first after accumulating 15,000 men, leaving another army under the command of Ramsay, which would set off half a month later.
Because Ireya was moving fast enough, her troops were about to leave the western border, and the news of her claim to be king reached the Golden Valley.
It directly made all the noble lords of the Golden Valley drop their jaws in shock.
It's only been a year since the Arias family replaced the Figuerala family as the new masters of the West.
And Ilea has been slow to officially declare her ownership of the land, and some have speculated that she may not want to offend Allister and Claudio, or that she may be guilty of the Figuerola family.
But now it seems that they all guessed wrong.
Ilea didn't want to offend Allister and Claudio, and her crossing the Lord of the West to claim the throne was tantamount to declaring war on the Vespasian family.
In addition, her relationship with those Wing Clansmen was not very good before, and Conley would definitely not be on her side, so her current actions will undoubtedly make her relationship with the other three forces deteriorate sharply.
"How dare she?" Drake from Berry Fort blurted out when he heard the news.
"Just three years ago, the Arias family was just a small family in the West that no one knew, how could that girl named Ilea dare to call herself the queen? Claim her dominion over the continent. ”
"It is said that this is the oracle of Saturday, and the gods of the Shuangxiu Sect chose her, so those believers call her the Chosen King."
Marven, Drake's sixteenth son, answered.
"The Chosen King?" Drake said disdainfully, "Those Wing-Clansmen brought some kind of Sky Mother God first, and now there's an extra Saturday, and these pagan liars will never stop." ”
"Saturday is not a liar, grandfather." Drake's grandson, Joseph, said, "It sent down divine punishment and defeated those Wing Clansmen, and now everyone on the continent knows about it, and it came earlier than that Gaiua on Saturday." ”
"It doesn't matter, now it's coming at us, do you have any ideas?" Drake said with a wave of his hand.
"We need allies." Marven said, "Father, you are like a god with soldiers, and you have resisted several enemy onslaughts for the Black Hand Lord before, but now there are too many enemies.
"I heard that there are 20,000 people from the West this time, plus 10,000 from Lady Lilania, we can't defend the Berry Castle alone, we have to ask the Black Hand for help."
Drake was noncommittal, and looked at his grandson again, "What about you, if you have anything to say, don't twist and pinch like a, and say it happily." ”
"I ...... I don't think we're going to be able to stop this attack. ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense, otherwise what are we discussing now?"
Joseph was bold, "I mean, even if we get reinforcements, we're no match for those Westlanders. ”
Drake's face sank, "You doubt my ability to fight?" ”
"I never doubted your military prowess, but grandfather, you are at war with the gods, even when Solomon and his invincible army of the Winged Clan were defeated in the West."
"Do you think I should do it, then, to open my gates when those savage and filthy Westlanders appear outside my castle, and bow down to that stinking girl? Then you might as well just cut off my head and hang it on the city. ”
Drake said coldly, "Don't think that if you are my grandson, I won't kill you, and if you dare to surrender in front of me, you won't want to see the next day's sun." ”
After Drake finished speaking, he said to Marven, "Send a messenger to ask for help from Lord Black Hand, and ask someone to prepare a horse for me,"
"Where are you going, father?"
"Bronze Gate City, go find the Filwood family, they have been shrunken turtles for so long, and if they don't poke their heads out of their turtle shells, just wait for someone to stew and make soup."
Drake then looked at Joseph again, who was so frightened that he took two steps back and swallowed.
"You go with me, remember, there are no cowards among the men of the Marsons, and you will be at the forefront when the war begins."
"Yes, grandfather." The young man's voice trembled.
"Let me teach that arrogant girl of the House of Arias a lesson that I will never forget."
Although Drake is more than two hundred and seventy years old, he doesn't seem to be slow at all, and he still strides when he walks.
In a few sentences, everything was arranged, and then he walked to the stable with his grandson.
Taking advantage of the precious time between Ilea and her army before they arrived at Fort Berry, the grandparents not only visited their old neighbors in Coppergate, the Fellwood family, but also searched for the surrounding lords.
Convince them to send troops together to defend against the threat from the west.
Not only was Drake an excellent commander, but his oratorical prowess was clearly underestimated, and in a few words, he described the possible catastrophic consequences of the fall of Berry Castle to the hearts of the other lords.
