Section 162 Prince Reiter
Gao Rudas's mood was not very good, just like the weather in the sky at this time, gloomy, and it looked like it was about to rain.
He should have been in a good mood, defeating a mercenary group that ranked among the top twenty on the continent, and annihilating most of the mercenaries, leaving only Manie to escape with the remnants of less than a squadron.
He was ready to play the enemy to death like a cat and mouse, but now the development seems to be out of play.
One of his right-hand men, Schick, caught up with the enemy in a small town, but Schick's squadron, which was supposed to have the upper hand, lost inexplicably, and even Schick himself died.
Although this is a bit unexpected, but Gao Rudas is not too strange, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the trapped beast fights.
Later, he personally led the army, and there were several other squadrons that separated to form an encirclement network, and would not give Manie any more chances.
But he never caught up with Manie again, and judging from the traces of this pursuit, the other party seemed to be quite familiar with the wilderness and jungle around here, and played a game of hide and seek with himself and others inside, turning around.
But the most amazing thing is that Manie seems to know the route of the march of Gaorudath well, no matter how he searchs, traps, and lures, the other party can just right to avoid any squadron of the Bloodsmoke Mercenary Regiment.
It seemed impossible, but it just appeared in Gao Rudas, which made him feel better.
"Commander, Prime Minister Laszlo has sent someone who wants us to abandon the mercenary group pursuing Maneh and return quickly, as the Holy Lana Empire is about to prepare for the official start of the attack. It was Carlos, another of Gorudas's right-hand men, who spoke. He and Schick are two of Gorudas' men. Schick is a dare to rush and dare to fight. And he has the same smell as Gao Ludas, likes to be cruel and famous, while Carlos likes to hide behind and give advice, and he is Gao Ludas's political staff.
Liguria is very well developed in mercenary warfare, and all countries are accustomed to hiring mercenary teams or mercenary groups to fight, mercenaries can not only get paid by mercenaries, but also doubles as bandits and slave traders.
Generally speaking, mercenary groups will accept mercenaries if they are rich. However, most of the mercenary groups whose status is within the top 20 have certain political ambitions, and they hope to serve a certain country or force for a long time, so that they can not only get a stable reward, but also get all kinds of conveniences with their backs to the big tree, and may even be converted into the official knights of the country.
Gaurudas was cruel and murderous, but his vision in politics was mediocre, and Carlos, after a detailed analysis for him, chose the Holy Lana Empire as the object of long-term service.
Of the six continents, the Holy Lana Empire is now the most powerful. The most promising way to end the war and achieve great reunification is to hug this thigh, of course, it is the most correct.
But it's certainly not just the Blood Mercenary Corps that thinks so. At least four of the top twenty mercenary groups are serving in the Holy Empire, and the Bloodsmoke Mercenary Group is just one of them, and it is not so easy to stand out.
Originally, the mercenary group of Maneh was a good opportunity, and the Duchy of Saxony had previously taken the initiative to launch an offensive against Holy Lana, much to the annoyance of Fred VI and Chancellor Laszlo.
However, the other party was the two-headed dragon Ferdinand himself, and although the attack failed, he still retreated along the way, and had to take the mercenary group hired by the Duchy of Saxony.
As a result, he failed to completely annihilate the mercenary group and let Manie escape.
Now Laszlo asked the Bloodsmoke Mercenaries to quickly return to join the campaign against Saxony, and after weighing it up, Gaurudas had to give up the pursuit of Manehβ
"Before the coexistence of the six nations today, the history of the continent was like this, Miss Agatha. At that time, there were only four countries, and there was one cult of light. The four nations are the Kingdom of Glar, the Holy Lana Empire, the Kingdom of Fenrir, and the Kingdom of Myrad. The boy who spoke wrote five names on a blackboard with a paint-painted pen, and then stole a glance at the woman not far away.
The delicate face of the other party has both the unique charm of a girl and a mature demeanor, but it is still cold as frost, rubbed together, making the young man's heart beat faster and his heart different.
"At that time, the Fenrir Kingdom and the Myrad Kingdom could only stay together honestly, because the contenders for continental hegemony were the Glar Kingdom and the Holy Lana Empire, and the Glar Kingdom occupied a total of more than half of the continent's territory, and the Holy Rana was about to be unable to resist. The boy couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he saw Agatha still have an indifferent expression, and he wanted to see other expressions on her face because of him, but unfortunately since he met her, such opportunities were almost a handful.
"Guess what led to the defeat of the Kingdom of Glar?"
Agatha thought for a moment and pointed to the name of the Cult of Light.
"You're only half right. The young man smiled proudly, "The Cult of Light helped the Holy Lana Empire, because the Rana Empire accepted the belief of the Cult of Light and allowed it to spread, and the Kingdom of Glaar completely ignored the Cult of Light, so of course the Cult of Light chose to help the Holy Lana Empire." With the help of the Cult of Light, the Holy Lana Empire was able to stop its decline and regain its grip on the Kingdom of Glar, until the civil strife in Glar occurred. β
"What kind of civil strife took place?" Agatha couldn't help but ask.
Seeing that he aroused the interest of the goddess in his mind, the young man was proud and quickly replied, "Because Karl V of the Kingdom of Glar died, and his son Karl VI succeeded to the throne, but he was only one year old, and the power fell into the hands of the regent Cross, who rejected dissidents and killed the nobles who opposed him, so one day, there was a brave, handsome, mighty, and righteous nobleman Jag Feuerbach and a group of nobles who were staunch against Cross and found an opportunity to flee to the south, and issued a declaration of independence, and established the Duchy of Saxony." Miss Agatha, who is my ancestor, founded the Feuerbach royal house today. β
Agatha nodded, the young man in front of her was the current prince of the Duchy of Saxony, Reiter, if nothing else, he would inherit the throne of the Duchy of Saxony in the future.
After Agatha came to Liguria in disguise. An inadvertent encounter with this Prince Reiter.
The prince had heard of the presence of aliens in the direction of Ansbach. Curiosity came. And he only brought a small number of followers, and did not inform Ansbach's Knights of the Rising Dragon, but they somehow leaked their whereabouts, and were attacked by a mysterious team, and the entourage was almost completely wiped out, leaving only one or two people to hide in the wilderness with his wolf bèi, and the most suffered was that Prince Leiter was also poisoned.
As a result, he met the lost Agatha, and although the low-level detoxification technique mastered by Agatha could not remove the toxins from Prince Leite's body. But she also happened to have a high-level antidote concocted by Cecilia herself, which saved Prince Leiter's life.
After Prince Reiter entered Ansbach with the help of the remnants of his retinue and Agatha, Agatha was also treated with great courtesy, and the young prince secretly fell in love with his savior, and spent his days thinking about how to win her favor.
"Cross can be said to have a deep hatred for his ancestors, he sent an army to try to destroy the Duchy of Saxony, but he did not succeed, because the Holy Lana Empire saw that there was an opportunity, and also brazenly sent troops to drag him back. The ancestors and the Duchy of Saxony survived the most difficult times and inspired more people to have the courage to rise up against Cross. A few years later, other nobles also gathered and declared their independence from Glar. The Republic of Esdania was established and ruled in the form of a noble council, so that the original kingdom of Glar was divided into three. It is precisely for this reason that it is almost impossible for the six countries to unite now, and they can only fight each other, except for the time when they jointly dealt with the Cult of Light. β
"Dealing with the Cult of Light together?" Agatha looked very interested.
"Yes, it was only against the Cult of Light that the nations were united for the only time. That's because after the division of the Kingdom of Glar, the spread of the Cult of Light spread from the Holy Lana Empire to the other five countries. And as time passed, the Cult of Light became larger and larger, and began to meddle in the politics of various countries, which aroused everyone's vigilance. In the end, the conspiracy was exposed at the risk of death, and the original doctrine of the Cult of Light was to establish a great religious state with a unity of religion and state, and to ask all countries to submit to the rule of the gods outside the heavens they believed. This was unacceptable to all countries, including the Holy Lana Empire, which had the best relationship with the Cult of Light, and turned against each other because of the clash of royal power and clerical power. So in the end, the countries secretly reached an agreement, and the powerful people of the towns and states of the countries joined forces to raid the Pope and the Great Priest of the Cult of Light, and at the same time, the countries also launched armies to ban the Cult of Light in the country, arrest the believers of the Cult of Light, declare the Cult of Light a cult, and no longer allow him to exist. β
Agatha frowned, "But you seem to have told me a few days ago that in the middle of the continent, there is also a city Olbia that has a Cult of Light. β
"Yes, there's still the Cult of Light, but it's limited to that. Prince Rit smiled, "At that time, several of the powerful people of the kingdom were killed, but they did kill the Pope and the Grand Master of the Cult of Light, and I heard that they also summoned the attendants of the gods outside the sky, but they were still wiped out. However, at the last moment, the only remaining high priest threatened to activate their destruction array, and after killing the high-level of the Cult of Light, the countries returned to fear each other, not wanting to just pay a heavy price for themselves and cheapen the situation of others, so they reached an agreement with the remnants of the Cult of Light, allowing them to control the city of Olbia, where the Cult of Light is located, but all believers and priests can only stay there, as long as they leave Olbia, anyone has the right to kill them. β
"I see. Agatha nodded, thoughtful.
After Prince Reiter finished telling a brief history of Liguria to the woman he had a crush on, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and he didn't know what to change to attract Agatha's attention, and he had been suffering from gains and losses since he had known Agatha, and he didn't know how to get the favor of this strange alien woman.
Suddenly, he vaguely saw someone waving to him outside the door, so he reluctantly glanced at Agatha and walked out.
Upon exiting, he discovers that it is his attendant Taylor, one of the people who survived the adventure.
"Taylor, you have come at the right time, you came up with a good idea for me last time, she is interested in the history of Liguria, help me think again, how can I approach her and make her fall in love with me?" Prince Reiter whispered.
"Your Highness, let this matter go for now, General Theresia hopes that you will return to Frehit soon. β
"Back to Freiheit? so quickly? Why, I haven't played yet, no, I haven't learned a lot about folklore. Prince Rett changed his words.
"But it is said that there may be a war here. β
"War? With whom, it won't be with those aliens, I think Agatha is very kind, why can't we live in peace with their people?" Prince Reit frowned, because he loved the house and Wu, he was not willing to go to war with the aliens again.
"It's less likely to be with the aliens, and more likely to be with the Holy Lana Empire, because Ferdinand of the Two-Headed Dragon Legion attacked the Holy Lana Empire with two other mercenary groups on the orders of His Majesty, and General Theresia feared that they would retaliate. β
"Shall I take Agatha back to Freheit, then?" said Prince Reiter, hesitantly.
"This is not good, Your Highness, although she saved your life, but in the end she is only a foreigner, if she goes back with you directly, it will cause trouble, and the Grand Duke and Queen will not be happy. Taylor persuaded.
"Then I won't leave Ansbach for a while. Prince Rett said coldly.
Taylor couldn't help but secretly complain, "But..."
"No, with General Theresia and the Knights of the Ascending Dragons here, I'm sure Ansbach is safe. Even if the Holy Lana Empire really comes to attack, reinforcements will definitely arrive in our principality. As the heir of the principality, how could I abandon the majority of the people and flee when I knew that the enemy might attack, of course I should stay. β
Taylor's whole face turned green with bitterness, and he groaned in his heart: "Your Highness, you want to stay with that alien girl." (To be continued......)
