Volume 1 - The Emerald Men Chapter 9 - Aragorn's Ambition and Moxi's Tricks
Lukka stood up and saluted, and said in a solemn voice, "They are the exiled knights of the Iris, and they have to do this in order to take care of their exiled families. ”
"Knights are the backbone of defending their territory, how could Count Iris easily banish them?" Perth asked in surprise, after all, as long as you are not stupid, you will not do this.
Immediately, Luca said with a sad and angry face, "What if someone persecutes them and they have to go into self-exile?" ”
Perth didn't know why, and he was very puzzled.
Seeing this, Keith explained to Perth, "There are many kingdoms on the continent of Hogworth, and the south is led by the Kingdom of the Rose of York and the Kingdom of Eagleeye of Aragon, which occupy most of the territory in the south.
Although the Nanshan Collar and the Iris Collars are bordered, they are located on the southern border of the Kingdom of York.
However, the South Mountain Territory is located on the northwestern border of the kingdom, adjacent to the Berlin Mountains. The Iris, on the other hand, is on the southwestern border, bordering the Kingdom of Aragon.
And although the Kingdom of Aragon is rich in resources, its strength is not stronger than that of the Kingdom of York. It's just that the current king of Aragon, Felusius III, is a careerist who is not willing to be lonely. ”
"Could it be that the king of Aragon is going to provoke a war and break the Peace Treaty?" Perth asked, after a moment of silence.
Nader also said, "Of course not, so Felusius III, without violating the Peace Treaty, secretly sent slave trappers to harass and kill the inhabitants of the border as slaves.
He even acquiesced in the harassment and robbery of the nobles of our kingdom. ”
Immediately, he continued to speak, and the more he spoke, the more serious his face became, "In fact, the Principality of Slan, in the north of the Kingdom of Aragon, was weak and could only swallow this practice, so it took the initiative to give up part of the border and part of the ore veins, and even completely became a vassal of the Kingdom of Aragon.
I think that Felusius III may have tasted the sweetness. And the veins of the Duchy of Slan have also inflated his ambitions, and he has instead set his sights on the borders of our Kingdom of York.
Just like this infestation of the iris collar, it may even be a test of our country's strength. ”
In this regard, Perth recalled a moment of confusion and said: "I only heard that the submission of the Duchy of Slan to Felusius III made his prestige in Aragon more and more loud, but I did not expect to use such a method.
In that case, I don't think it's possible for the Rose Court to sit idly by. ”
Hearing Perth's doubts, Nader couldn't help but put down the milk tea cup holding for warmth, and sighed helplessly, "The problem is that this aggressive harassment does not break the terms of the Peace Treaty. Therefore, it cannot be used as a reason for going to war, and naturally it cannot be treated as a war by diplomatic means.
Moreover, after the rebellion of five years ago, the royal court of York is now not strong enough to fight a large-scale war.
In particular, the "peace party" within the royal court insisted on "peace negotiations" with the Kingdom of Aragon, which prevented the king from providing direct military assistance to the fleur-de-tails.
If it weren't for the fact that the royal ministers also took into account the in-law relationship between the Earl of Iris and the family of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth, this gave the iris a certain amount of financial support.
Although in the end, it will be up to the iris to solve the problem on their own, but Golden Madrid has always been able to attract some strong foreign players. ”
Perth asked disapprerovingly, "But that's not why the knights in the Iris General's realm are self-exiling, are they?" ”
At this time, Keith said, "Although Earl Iris narrowed the line early, and moved the inhabitants of the town and village to the mountain fortress in advance. However, the woodland and farmland outside the fortress could not be moved.
And if Count Iris does not agree to Aragon's slave catchers, he forcibly exiles the knights in the realm. Then the villages and farmlands of the iris collar will be burned to the ground, and that will be a devastating blow to the iris. ”
Nader then said: "After all, the iris collar named after the marigold-de-lis and the iris dove is the foundation of the rise and prosperity of the iris family.
If the woodland on which the iris depends, it will no longer be able to grow in large quantities.
Of course, the Earl of Iris also used as capital to obtain more financial aid from the royal court. ”
Luca was even more indignant, accusing himself: "Not only that, as long as half a figure enters or leaves the mountain fortress, it will be hunted by the slave trappers!" ”
After listening, Perth couldn't help but sigh that this is really a trick!
He even thought in conspiracy theories, I am afraid that the "conservatives" within the royal court also have the defectors of the Kingdom of Aragon, which has created today's situation.
You want to say, why don't you just kill the so-called "slave catchers"?
Don't be kidding, if you really want to fight, is the "slave hunting team" formed by more than a hundred knights of the Kingdom of Aragon so easy to deal with?!
Perth even wondered how many troops and knights the current iris would have left after such a devastation.
Of course, if the iris gets through this difficulty, it will not be difficult to quickly form a knight order again with the abundance of calendula irises, a magical plant that has a great attraction to knights.
Then, Nader sighed, "But even if there is a large number of Golden Madrid to attract foreign aid, it is really not conducive to the development of the iris if it continues like this."
After all, calendula irises cannot thrive without the saliva nourished by the saliva of the irise. ”
At this moment, Old Chuck, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said, "I heard that the Earl of Iris's family treasure room has a golden feather that the Iris King has faded.
No matter how long it takes, it remains sharp and elastic, shining like gold, and even flowing with pale gold patterns. It can even be used directly for forging, and it is said to be a precious magic material that cannot be compared to pure gold and mythril.
It was through that feather that the ancestors of the iris family attracted the family's first iris after discovering the calendula irise. ”
I have to say that the words of old Chuck made everyone look at Perth.
After all, everyone knows that Baron Perth has been looking for precious membranes lately, and wants to create a good set of magic equipment.
And Perth has to admit that it is indeed tempting.
But after thinking about it calmly, he thought of Moxi Medici and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Then he looked at everyone present, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he asked with a smile, "But we all know that the first thing that passes through the iris collar is the most prosperous Nanshan City in Fei Lengcui, and there is even a pearl collar second only to Nanshan City."
Moreover, even if the allegiance of the knights is not mentioned, it will attract positive acceptance from all forces.
I think that as a former knight of the territory, at least he would rarely give up the pride and dignity of a knight and come to my remote town to rob the pedestrians and caravans.
What do you think? Knight Knight, Archon Nader, Mr. Chuck, Deputy Master Luka? ”
As soon as Perth's words came out, everyone invariably smelled the smell of conspiracy and trickery, and not only fell silent.
Still the most direct, Keith looked at Perth, and said directly, "The reputation of the emerald and the glory of the tulip will never allow us to give in!" ”
The words were sonorous and impassioned, and even the fire in the fireplace seemed to be even more vigorous and blazing after these words.
Hearing this, Perth clapped his hands happily and laughed, "Well, let's see what kind of strength the knight of the iris collar has!" ”
Perth's attitude was undoubtedly inspiring, and everyone present shouted "For the honor of Fei Leng Cui, for the glory of tulips!" ”
The magnificent, colorful tall porcelain cups glow golden against the orange-red firelight, as if the excitement of several people in the castle at this time.
The passionate mood makes them use the porcelain cup filled with hot milk tea and hot cocoa as a wine glass, and the crisp and pleasant collision sound seems to represent the high-spirited inner cry of everyone!
