On the way from the port of the west wind to the capital of the Republic of Yaman, Zolomon learned a lot about the history and current situation of the continent of Falmalik from the mouths of Kehorin and others.

This continent can be roughly bounded by the Solon Mountains, with Northern Falmalik to the north and Southern Falmalik to the south, but the area of Kish North Falmalik is only two-fifths of the entire continent, while South Falmalik is much larger.

Due to the inconvenience caused by the Ezolon Mountains, the transportation between the north and south of Falmalik is not too convenient, and the larger-scale trade needs to pass through the sea, and the shipbuilding industry is quite developed, for example, the port of Xifeng in Yaman can be seen everywhere wooden galleons, and its shipbuilding level is no less than that of Modo in the Kaos plane twenty years ago, and some merchants will venture into teams and hire escorts to cross the mountains to North Falmalik, because the road through the mountains is shorter, and the sea is more time-consuming.

However, land trade is also more dangerous, as bandits are encountered, so mercenary groups like the Blood Griffin Mercenaries are active.

In general, because of the obstruction of transportation, and the disgrace of each side as a military power, there was not much war between the North and the South.

The military power of Northern Falmalik was the Ghanaian Empire, which once ravaged the north, invading the northern kingdoms of Pure and Orri, but ultimately failed because the Matthew Church intervened to support the rebellion against Ghana.

It is said that the invasion of the Cana Empire at that time broke out because the emperor was bewitched by demons, and the Matthew Church decided to support it because it could not tolerate demons, but the exact circumstances are unknown.

In the case of South Falmalik. The Blood Griffon Squad knows a little bit more. The military powerhouse here is the Apuro Empire. But the power of this empire was not entirely in the hands of the emperor, because there was also the patriarch of the Matthew church.

The Matthew Church is the most influential church on the mainland, with many believers in both the north and south of Falmalik, and helping the north to resist the invasion of Ghana has further paved the way for its development in the north.

The Yaman Republic has always been the long-coveted fat of the Apuro Empire, both before and after its establishment, so it has sent troops many times.

The attitude of the Matthew Church towards the Republic of Yaman is that it hopes that this place will also become a faithful believer in the gods, because the Republic of Yaman has developed commerce, and the belief here is relatively weak. Therefore, the Church is not willing to exert its influence to prevent the Apuro Empire from invading Yaman.

Back twenty years ago. The Apuro Empire invaded the Republic of Yaman, which had just been established as a successful state.

During the battle for the founding of the country, the Republic of Yaman mobilized the support of the neighboring kingdom of Pin Book through its own stubborn resistance and commercial agreements, and asked the church for mediation, and at that time, the Matthew church still had great hopes for the gods who would convert to the faith of the church after the establishment of the Republic of Yaman, so it also softened its attitude, and in addition to supporting the war in North Falmalik, it not only stopped sending clergy to support the actions of the Apuro Empire, but also warned the Apuro Empire in words.

As a result, due to the first battle of the invasion, there was a change in the attitude of the church. The Apuro Empire was forced to stop in the battle for the founding of the country, allowing the Yaman Republic to succeed.

But then, because the Republic of Arman did not make a compromise on faith that satisfied the Matthew church. So it was natural for the Matthew church to change its attitude.

As a result, three years later, the Apuro Empire invaded Yaman again and attacked the city of Bofeng, which fell and became the territory of the Apuro Empire.

For many years to come, the Apuro Empire persecuted the Yaman Republic, coveting the city of Phinean until it was ready to go to war.

But this time it was very upside down, the praying mantis caught the cicada, and a yellow finch was inserted, and the chaos of the Aurora Kingdom made Apuro suffer a big loss, and Fenian City did not get it, but was defeated.

According to the news obtained along the way, the situation on the side of Finian City is still tense.

It is said that the aliens are persecuting the Republic of Yaman, first, by officially ceding the city of Fenian to the Kingdom of Aurora, and the reason why they still have to cede it, rather than forcibly occupying it without even a name, and forcing the victims to admit that the city was given to the aliens, is because as the members of the Blood Griffin Squad heard earlier, the aliens also want to establish trade and diplomacy with the Yaman Republic.

Of course, the Aurora Kingdom also had a "return gift", promising to help the Yaman Republic resist the invasion of the Apuro Empire.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Apuro Empire is probably not the Yaman Republic that wants to fight the most, but with these aliens, and it is only a defeat, and at this time it may be reconciling the contradictions internally, gathering troops, by the way, and enlisting the support of the Matthew Church.

Solomon decided to go to the capital of the Republic of Yaman, Jaffran, to have a look first, and then decide whether to pay a visit to the current lord of Jofran, who is also the current Speaker of the Republic of Yaman, Sir Peter Andreev, the reason why he is called a knight is because before Andreev became Speaker, he also had the title of viscount of the Apuro Empire.

While Solomon, accompanied by the Blood Griffons, marched towards Jofland, Phenian decided to send someone to Jorford.

"We don't just want a ceded city in the name of the city, but we can also demand trade relations with the Republic of Yaman. It was Gerard who spoke, and across from him sat the Valkyrie Leona.

"Well, there is a need for this. The level of civilization here is higher than we imagined, and there is a nasty church here, which I feel is somewhat similar to the Church of Light, because the God of Matthew they believe in is not only the same name as Matthew, the God of the Gospel and Guidance of the Church of Light, but also the statue looks very similar. Leona showed a hint of disgust.

"The development of civilization here is higher than we imagined, which means that the occupation method we were used to in the past may be hindered, and even we have to consider withstanding the counterattack of the Apuro Empire now, so we can consider Huairou for the time being for the Yaman Republic. Gerald owed.

"But if they don't accept our kindness, then we'll just take action to wipe them out first, and then face the Apuro Empire and this Matthew Church. Leona's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

"But judging from the Imperial General who was defeated by you that day, the Apuro Empire is also quite powerful. Gerard said a little uneasily.

In the battle of the Aurora Kingdom's defeat of the Apuro Empire, it was Leona who personally defeated the opponent's general, and the opponent's general almost had legendary strength, but it was unlucky that she met the Valkyrie, or she was beaten hard and fled.

"I won't despise them, and this time I'll help you southerners, but I hope that the north and the south can work together. "So, first of all, you southerners' new army should come here to help me, and second, since the kingdom has decided to open up this place, I hope you don't mind too much when those guys from the north decide to join in." ”

Gerald's face changed slightly, he was actually very mindful and a little dissatisfied.

Now facing the pressure of the Apuro Empire, it is him and Leona, who also asks him to send the new army of the southerners to help defend it.

But at this time, I haven't heard that those guys in the north are willing to come, and if they survive this hurdle, those people will pounce like flies to share the benefits, which is really unfair.

"I know you don't think it's fair, but don't worry, I'll ask them to send their forces to support us now, and share the pressure on us, otherwise if we fail, it's just that, and if we succeed in gaining a foothold, they won't want to come again. Leona said.

Only then did Gerard smile and say, "If that's the case, it's not unacceptable. ”

"That's good, since you agree, then I'm going to take a trip to Ruofu Blue City myself. Leona said.

"You're going to do it yourself?" said Gerald.

This is the best way to express our attitude, and it is also the most direct declaration, so that Andreev has no excuse at all, and can only either agree or disagree. A hint of coldness flashed at the corner of Leona's mouth, "If it's the latter, then I don't mind attacking as soon as I return." ”

"I fully support you. Gerald laughed.

Leona yawned, and Gerald resigned playfully.

Upon returning to his residence, Gerald immediately began to write a letter, and when he was done, he called one of his henchmen and asked him to return to Aurora Territory with it to be handed over to his brother Belvian.

Soon after, when Leona set off for Joaforan, Belvian, who had stayed in Aurora to act as his brother's liaison with other southern lords, nobles, and merchants, also received a letter from Gerald.

The letter told Belvein that everything was going well, but the biggest trouble now was facing a counterattack from the aborigines.

Therefore, Gerard asked Bellevin to contact the allies among the southerners, gather together the new armies they had established to use muskets, and then authorize Gerard to take unified command and send to Cologne to defend the fruits of victory and maintain order.

He also told Bellevin in the letter that something of value had been discovered, such as veins of black rock, and some magic crystals or mythril symbiotic ores with other minerals.

Of course, he told Belleveven that this news should not spread for the time being, and that it should be developed by his own people or those who will definitely support him.

Eventually, he asks Belvian to get more help from Mr. Raymond of the Rose Bank to achieve their common goal. (To be continued......)
