Chapter 52: The Storm in the Teacup

The Kingdom of Southern Yuctobania, or the surrounding circle of small states centered on the Kingdom of Southern Yuctobania, including some principalities and small kingdoms, was historically and geographically a buffer zone between the great empire of Yuktobania in the east and the powerful Berken Empire in the west. Moreover, there is also an arrogant and arrogant country in their north, who thinks very highly of himself, and claims to have swept away the Yuctobania Empire and suppressed the Belken Empire in history. As a result, since the founding of the entire kingdom and the surrounding Yucato region, where the surrounding small states are located, the war has never stopped.

The kingdom of Southern Yuktobania has spent hundreds of years in wars, rebellions, divisions, and unification, and the small nations around it have spent so many years in wars, unions, and divisions. In history, every country has had the so-called glorious years - that is, at a certain time, there was a so-called British lord and the corresponding outstanding retainers, who were able to suppress the surrounding countries for a period of time, and even wrestled with the two great powers at a certain level.

Of course, these little overlords, after a period of time, will basically be directly attacked by the two major powers, or provoke the surrounding countries to do it, or simply the surrounding countries will jointly do it themselves, and these little overlords will be pressed down - of course, in the latter two cases, a new little overlord will appear

The history of the South Yuktor region is like this, it is a magnificent wave in a teacup-this is the impression that Zhou Zhongmou came to after reading through the historical documents he found in the mercenary guild and the library or the mage's office in the past - he basically regarded them as novels. Anyway, finding a way in this big house is also time-consuming, in order not to let himself or Misha fall into the abyss of anxiety and despair and lose his normal heart, Zhou Zhongmou began to exchange historical documents with Misha Misha is a well-educated eldest lady, of course, history is also the focus of her previous education, and the history of this small place is changeable, and there are indeed a lot of wonderful jokes - but basically they are some so-called diplomatic strategies that are a little petty in Zhou Zhongmou's eyes - Something suddenly an alliance or a sudden betrayal, or the use of some alliances to suppress the entire region for decades or something. Of course, in Zhou Zhongmou's opinion, this qiē is just dancing in the palms of the two empires

And now, more than 300 years ago, the last and most glorious rise of the so-called Transylvanian Empire, the country's most declining so-called empire, has risen to prominence - so far. At that time, the Transylvanian Empire found the Crown of Black Iron as the symbol of the ancient empire that had inherited the great Norma Empire that unified the entire Knos continent, and then it happened to be the infamous × cult organization - the Dark Church when the Transylvanian Empire flourished, the empire had an unprecedented elite army, the best group of officers in history, and the most powerful church system, of course, they began to invade the surrounding countries. The armies of the dead had no fear and poured into various countries like a tidal wave

Misha began to tell the legend of that time in an aria-like tone as if she was playing an opera: "The black army attacked in all directions, and no army of the living could stop them in front of them" At this time, Zhou Zhongmou interrupted Misha's words and asked a question directly: "Is the so-called army of the dead just skeleton soldiers without self-consciousness as the main body?"

"Yes, the land of the Black Lilies of Dacia retains the largest number of lairs of the undead in this world, and they have their own way of controlling the undead born in these lairs. ”

Zhou Zhongmou snorted, "Sure enough, the monster lair that produces low-level skeleton soldiers is as the record says, and the requirements for the concentration of mana are very low, but the requirements for the nature of mana and the earth are quite high. He thought about it for a moment, but he had also seen the subsequent conquest of Transvania, and Misha told the legend with great interest—forgetting for a moment that they were still in a situation where they could not find a way out, and his mood was much more relaxed.

This is exactly what Zhou Zhongmou wanted to do, he himself became a very good listener, listening to Misha happily tell the history: "There is a white holy light in the sky, and the blood of the heroes is noble and powerful", and at this time he has already talked about the surrounding countries that have been invaded and almost perished or have perished, including of course the princes of the kingdom of Southern Yuktobania, who have obtained powerful weapons that belong to them under the light of the holy light. Armed with these so-called "holy weapons", they gathered in a series of battles, and in the legendary battles, they gathered their subordinates who also obtained the "Weapons of Inheritance" in the resistance, and finally defeated the invading Transylvanian Imperial Army. He recovered all of his kingdom and invaded the Transylvanian Empire, eliminating the author of a tragedy, the Emperor of the Empire and the Archbishop of the Dark Church.

It's just that Zhou Zhongmou barely sees these legends in several documents from the two empires—they only record that the last remnants of the ancient Norma Empire invaded the surrounding countries and were defeated. Reading between the lines, it is also written that the Empire, out of justice and justice - both empires claim to be theirs - resolutely carried out righteous action, dispatched a righteous army to liberate these invaded countries and punish the invaders at that time. All the records are a page, and that's it.

Zhou Zhongmou believed in the records of these two empires. According to the calculation method of the earth, the South Yukto region is only more than 300,000 square kilometers, of which two-thirds are still mountains and hills, which are actually poor mountains and bad waters, and the Southern Yuktobania Kingdom, which occupies the best part of the plain area, is about 110,000 square kilometers of land area, followed by the Transylvania Empire, which is only more than 90,000 square kilometers and the Yuctobania Empire, which is vast and has a land area of more than 6 million square kilometers, is a scum, and the land area is 3 million square kilometers, and the population is still above the Yuktobanian Empire, known as the empire of knights, the Berken Empire looks down on this group of weak countries fighting in small places from a very high height.

Still, Misha was excited to tell the stories, and of course Zhou Zhongmou wouldn't utter such ruinous words—though he was almost certain that according to Misha's education, she must have known that what happened in the Southern Yuktor region was actually irrelevant to the entire continent—and that it was always a puppet show in the palms of the two empires anyway. However, after eliminating the culprit at the time, why did not divide and destroy the Transylvanian Empire, Misha's story is vague and selectively forgets this qiē, and the whereabouts of the Black Iron Crown, which is the symbol of the Transylvanian Empire, are unknown. Of course, Zhou Zhongmou thought that most of them had fallen into the hands of one of the two empires.

After the war subsided, the twelve sacred weapons passed down in the bloodline of the recipients, and only in the hands of their direct descendants could they exert great power—a power that would allow the wielder to step into the realm and rise above gold. Of course, the same goes for the inherited weapons in the direct lineage of the original users - without exception, of course, these people are all nobles, hereditary nobles who have occupied important positions in these countries for hundreds of years. And the current royal family of Southern Yuktopania is the inheritance of the holy sword Tirfingu among the twelve holy weapons.

And Misha's next words made Zhou Zhongmou a little surprised: "The Petrovodsk family has inherited the bloodthirsty flail - Kebolas. Bone Chewer? That bald head is actually a family that has been inherited, no wonder it has stood for hundreds of years." ”
