814. Declare war on the prince
On November 2, in the territory of Kirislav on the edge of the Frostwolf Forest, the sixth prince, Durosun Nicholas, heard that Rand Benma was passing by and wanted to communicate with him.
From the news from Nikolagrad in the past two days, the war west of the Galloping Horse Plain has completely ceased, and Yeqi City has also stopped its own war protection, and it is obvious that a new war is brewing.
There was not much news about the galloping horse, and now that Rand was here in person, he hurriedly put on his dress and went to set the other party's news.
The original Kirislav camp, after several months of construction in Dourosun, has become a small city.
The outermost wall of the circle is about 300 meters in diameter and less than 20 meters high, with sluice gates on the east and west, and a direct flow of the Penma River to the south.
Although the faΓ§ade of the city wall is paved with stones, the inside of the stone blocks is based on cement, which is impregnable in the face of ordinary weapons.
Rand came this time, nominally to hunt in the forest, and by the way, he delivered the 20 iron pipes ordered by Durosson.
Standing under the city walls, Rand probably understood that the owner inside was probably similar to himself, and also the soul of some world: the buildings inside the gate were very neatly planned, and the castle on the hillside of the city was a concrete building, surrounded by various simple factories.
"Lord Marquis? I heard that you fought the orcs and really owned the Prancing Horse Plains? Durosson came out of the city with a knight and a group of girls.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's protection," Lan nodded his head, "the orcs no longer covet the Galloping Horse Plains. β
"I came just in time for the caravan to come over to deliver the goods, so I followed," Rand leaned sideways, revealing the cart behind him, "They said that the inner wall of your custom iron pipe needs a magic pattern that is resistant to high temperature and high pressure?" β
"It's because ......"
Seeing Durosun's embarrassed face, Rand smiled and asked, "You won't find magma in your castle, will you?" β
Of course, he knew that these iron pipes were used to make cannons, and before that, he not only gave a detailed introduction to the progress and indicators of Durozon's cannons, but even ordered people to try to build a few iron pipes according to the iron pipes he ordered, and fired several shells with black powder as explosives.
To be precise, Rand came here this time to see if this Prince Turropine had opened up the advanced technology tree of gunpowder such as yellow explosives and thunder mercury.
Dourosson was relieved to find that Rand was not embarrassed for himself, and he quickly explained: "I built some blacksmith shops here, and the water from the auction was quite hot, and I bought iron pipes to discharge this wastewater. β
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, if it is used to discharge sewage, I suggest that you do some treatment of this wastewater, once the finless porpoise clan thinks that your territory is too polluted, they may cut off the entire waterway, my people can help you dig a sedimentation pond, after the wastewater has been deposited several times, the pollution should be much smaller."
The sixth prince of "......" never thought that a feudal world would discuss environmental protection issues.
Durosson's men removed the iron pipes from the wagon, and the two sides finally completed the handover until the last one was completed.
Rand rode his horse to leave, walked a few steps before turning back, and asked the prince casually: "Your Highness, there is one more thing I have to confirm, do you know Count Kempins Maned Wolf?" β
"Of course," Durosun knew that this might be Rand's main purpose, and said solemnly, "Count Kempins invaded the forest territory belonging to Kiritslav a few days ago, and attacked our patrol, resulting in the death of 2 knights and the serious wounding of 6 others.
Lord Rand, I, as a prince of Kirislav, have reason to believe that the Count's invasion was premeditated and planned! β
Of course, Durosson was talking nonsense, after escorting Kempins and Jessica back to the castle that day, Jessica recruited everything, Kempins had no intention of invading at all, everything was a revenge plan of the Red Dragon bloodline.
Now Du Rosong is also difficult to ride a tiger, in order to see this high-level, there are three witches of different lineages who have been guarding him, if he lets Kempins go, this high-ranking earl will definitely shake out his little family background.
However, if he is not let go, it will obviously turn into an international dispute between Kirislav and the dragon, and the witch he raised will still be exposed, and the knights of the two sides may also raise themselves.
Rand shook his head and said, "Your Royal Highness, what I heard is slightly different from yours, according to the Maned Wolf family, that forest is a plantation carved out by the Earl of the Northwest, and your people not only attacked the Earl, as well as a noble lady beside him, but also killed two high-ranking knights in a frenzy. β
"This ......"
"Your Highness, the empire has a clear law, and the field nobles above the earl level have considerable immunity, even if he accidentally kills your knight, he should go to the Dragon's Tooth City Council to fight a lawsuit, and now you have not only detained him, but also hidden this news." Rand said with a tone of regret, "On behalf of the Dragon Kingdom and the Northwest Earls, I must make the greatest protest to you, and demand that you release Lord Earl and Miss Jessica immediately!" β
Rand spoke slowly, not at all in a hurry, giving Durrosson the illusion that he was glad to see the Count being detained by him, and now he was just here for a routine.
The prince's brain was spinning rapidly, and while thinking of a reason to drag it on, he entangled with Rand: "It's a pity that my knight didn't find any proof of nobility when he was arrested, and the Earl's stomach wound is very serious now, if it weren't for my people's efforts to treat him, he wouldn't even be alive now." β
"I have reported it to Nikolagrad and asked Kirislav to appoint the Legendary Pillar to discuss the matter!"
"Oh, then I can't help it," Rand smiled, as if he saw victory, "According to the Code of Nobles and the practice of the past, the Northwest County will wage war on your territory within 5 days to free our Count. β
"Huh? War? The prince was stunned.
Lan nodded and said, "Yes, we will send relevant notices to the Kirislav representative offices in Night Qi City, Dragon Tooth City, and the Imperial Capital, I hope you will not be too surprised by the time!" β
Without waiting for the sixth prince to say more, Rand had already galloped towards White Wolf City.
"Your Highness, that man is very dangerous," a woman came up behind Durosun and whispered in his ear, "I tried to approach him from the net, but failed. β
"What's more troublesome is that he's going to fight me head-on," Durozon said with a bitter face, "I thought he would turn the finger at me after he fought the orcs, but I didn't expect him to be able to put the orcs down so quickly." β
The woman whispered, "Your Highness, it doesn't matter, the main members of my Witch Society have almost arrived, and they are all very grateful to you for providing a territory to accept witches, and they are willing to fight for you." β
