393 Gate of Glory
With the special permission of the Grand Duke, Lidarchus no longer dared to shirk,
Quickly in the name of the loss of military supplies, a comprehensive investigation of all kinds of information to and from Clais in many ways,
The Samar intelligence service, which had received the fat man's secret order, and several flag regiments were also fully operational
The withholding of munitions was the biggest taboo in the Samar army,
What's more, this time it is personally helmed by the logistics boss Lidakus, who is known as the "data moth",
The force used was unprecedented
Mountains of information came from various sources, and Claisdor's situation for nearly a month was recorded on it,
From the rumors of the streets, to the monthly balance ledger of the many taverns of the wine Chrysdo,
The mountain of information is higher than even Lidacus himself
As the most complex discipline of Parabun College, the only high-achieving student in the secret department,
These mountains of scattered information are still difficult to help Lidakus, who has a special talent in this area,
Exploring the whole context of the incident from the fragments was Lidarchus's hobby,
It only took half a day,
From the dazzling information in front of him, he compiled a detailed list of possible incidents.
Based on this list, the Samorish intelligence service quickly found out the inside story of the entire incident
This is actually a typical internal struggle between the Chrystoist aristocracy,
The fire in Chrysdo destroyed most of the wealthy families in Kyoto, but it also made many new upstarts appear in Chrysdo.
lost the suppression of the previous powerful forces,
The little nobles who escaped the catastrophe of Chrysdor quickly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain
They are now the main forces in Chrysdow,
The long period of repression and Chrysdor's disorder made these new families almost unscrupulous in their efforts to gain influence over Chrysdo
The old duke is still old after all,
When the economy of Claisdor is restored wholeheartedly, there is no extra energy,
to reconcile these disrespectful junior disputes
But as a representative of the older generation of wealthy families, the old duke still occasionally reprimanded when he couldn't look at it,
This undoubtedly irritates these lawless upstarts
It's a stumbling block!
Most of the wealthy families of that year were either wiped out by the war, or moved out of the sad place of Chrysdo
Knowing the secret relationship between the Falcon family and the old Duke of Duai is almost gone
A conspiracy around the old duke unfolded
When this secret investigation report was delivered to Lidarchus,
This logistics director of Samoor, who has always liked to be nosy, still gasped,
His eyes were fixed on the list on the report,
Thirty-eight names, including almost all the families that survived the fire in Chrysdow,
The Ella family, the Fettlanes family, the Cortenne family,
Hell, there are still people from the Duai family,
"These people are really killing themselves!" said Lidarchus, whispering his name with a gloomy face, and cursed to himself
"Isn't the fire that destroyed Miè Chrysdo a little more sober up these self-righteous Kyoto nobles!
Under the wrath of the Grand Duke, all the intrigues and efforts,
It's just the source of the ruined miè!
"My lord, does this report need to be sent to the Grand Duke immediately!" Assistant Luo Linze looked at his chief's heavy face with a worried face, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice
"Don't be in such a hurry! There are some things that we haven't fully figured out yet!, such as Miss Allensteen's background mentioned in the report!" Lidarchus cautiously handed the list to his young assistant,
A slightly trembling hand made this special report look like he was holding a thousand pounds of weight
"Keep this report safe, the Grand Duke will be back from Kudan City tomorrow, and we will need this then!"
Now I just hope it's not the worst of it!, Lidakus said in a low voice
He also knew a little about the disorder in Kyoto, but he didn't expect it to be so strict
The assassination of the local consul appointed by Samore is not a big deal in itself,
The cruelty of the power struggle exists everywhere,
to kill or to be killed,
Many times there is no choice
But these fools chose the wrong people,
Why is it the old duke Duai who is most respected by the fat man
Although the private army of the Duai family was once Samar's most powerful enemy, the old duke of Duai was a man of great affection for the fat man
Without the strong intervention of the old Duke Du Ai, the fat man would not even have the opportunity to become a lord
The fat man is a person who holds grudges, but he is also a grateful person,
The old duke, who has deep roots, has not escaped these madness from the shadows
What will happen to the immature Miss Allensting?
"This could be the life of the entire Claesdox!" Speaking of this, Lidakus couldn't help but sigh again,
His words made the young assistant Luo Linze stunned for a moment and wondered
"No, there are only some nobles involved here! According to the Grand Duke's style, there shouldn't be too many innocent citizens involved!"
"Hehe, there are some things you don't understand!" Lidakus saw his assistant's blank expression, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,
The kingdom god of war, who has always been known for his calmness, also has his own inviolable scales
If something happens to the girl named Allenstin, plus the death of the Grand Duke
The angry Grand Duke can definitely do a lot of unreasonable things,
It's not impossible to burn Chrysdo again,
"That's the one who can watch Kyoto burn down, and I hope these Chrysto guys aren't doing anything stupid!"
Lidarchus prayed secretly in his heart, also from a noble background,
The nature of sympathy for the same kind still made him feel a little difficult to calm down the speculation in his heart.
"I heard that Kudan City opened the city gate for the Grand Duke this time, I really don't know how Lord Salon did it!"
The young assistant Luo Linze saw the chief's lost look and hurriedly changed the topic
The news of the fat man's request for Salon's two days to persuade him to open the gates of Kudan had already spread throughout the Samar army
"It's not that difficult!" said Lidarchus, teasingly,
When investigating Chrysdor, he also checked Kudan's situation by the way
The talent for meddling is always difficult to suppress, let alone this major event that has spread throughout the entire army of Samar,
I know more about Salon than anyone else,
"The immediate benefits can always make people forget the pain,
Just give the land to the rest of the peasants, and they won't care about the unlucky ones who have been relocated to the west.
and then the promise of protection and a certain compensation for the property of the nobles in the city,
I believe that as long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose,
No one likes to be slaughtered, and courage against the great can belong to a warrior, but by no means to a nobleman
Otherwise, the nobles would have been killed by the lords long ago!
In fact, the so-called 2-day deadline is just a little joke made by adults and Salon.
I'm more interested in how the tendoned Salons came up with this idea!"
"It's that simple?" assistant Luo Linze opened his eyes, almost in disbelief,
"Yes, it's that simple!" Lidarchus shrugged disapprovingly
"To give hope to others is to give hope to yourself, killing is not the only way to solve problems,
This is probably the answer that the Grand Duke hopes Lord Salons will be able to comprehend!"
The city of Kudan is not a military base,
This can be seen from the thick black gate of Kudan City,
There are no specially reinforced iron bars, and there are no auxiliary brackets for impact resistance,
The fat man even saw two half-naked mermaid reliefs from this richly decorated door,
"This is the gate of Kudan, an important city in the north?" the fat man looked at such a scene with a surprised face,
It is hard for the fat man to imagine how such a gate can resist the enemy's attack!
Such a thin iron sheet that even the siege cones of the heavy infantry could not resist,
No wonder the cunning Stienne family
After the loss of the Vatu Pass, this pearl of the north will be abandoned in such a hurry
This is not a solid city gate, but a luxurious work of art,
In such a city, there is no way to fight at all!
The aristocratic culture, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, has completely infected the city.
All kinds of elegant reliefs are scattered all over the streets, and some knight statues have even been carried up the city walls.
Admittedly,
This city standing on the plains is beautiful,
For the knights and romantic nobles who traveled, there is an irresistible temptation,
Whoever comes here,
You can't help but be attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of you.
However, this by no means includes the enemy,
They value how many soldiers they need to take this place,
Are they going to fight us among these statues?" the fat man thought to himself, looking at a knight's statue standing at the corner of the city wall,
Sallon's negotiations in Kudan were successful,
Under the hint of Hukochili,
Salon was bold and quickly issued the so-called post-war land purchase order,
It was announced that the peasants who had been dispersed would receive their own land as long as they returned to their local villages.
This quickly quelled the discontent and panic of the nearby farmers,
Land is the lifeblood of farmers, and under limited land,
Naturally, the fewer people involved in the division of the land, the better, and for the previous forced relocation of the population by Samar,
No one wants to pursue it anymore,
Man is such a strange animal,
Samor's reputation quickly turned for the better among the Kudan population, and he changed from an intruder to a so-called liberator.
Although this empty promise of Saron has not yet been signed by the fat man,,
But it's enough for Salone to do what the fat man asks him to do in a short period of time.
For the nobles in Kudan City, Salon rarely showed respect,
In the case of a promise to protect the private property of the nobles and promise to compensate the nobles for certain losses,
The leader of the nobility, Mrs. Gerinkana, finally expressed his recognition of Samor's rule,
In fact, at the moment when Samor did not choose to storm Kudan City,
Most of the nobles of Kudan had already admitted the compromise in their hearts,
After all, those who chose to stay were all families with ties to business alliances.
No one wants to be too stiff with Samor,
"A glimmer of light, a glimmer of darkness,
The fat man rode on his horse, looked at the slowly opening gate of Kudan in front of him, and whispered to Salon behind him
"As a ruler, politics and compromise are things you have to learn.
The fat man's words made Sallon's body tremble slightly
As Hukochili guessed,
As the biggest hero of this Kudan battle, the fat man did intend to put Saron in charge of the affairs of Kudan in the north.
The fat man needs a general who can lead the army independently and is brave and good at fighting.
For yourself!
Defend the most important pivot in the north of the kingdom for Samor
Looking at the many generals in Samor, except for Caesar Sauron, who guarded Dehrem, there was only this one-tendon Salon,
But the fat man is also a little uneasy about Salon,
This guy kills too hard!
To defend Kudan, a region rich in aristocratic culture, you can't just rely on the Kao army,
Now it seems that Salons are doing a good job!
"Woo!" the trumpet sounded,
Six thousand Samorian cavalry stood like two neat signposts on both sides of the streets of Kudan,
Stretching from the city gate to the center of the city, the Loric Yat Hall,
All the citizens of Kudan crowded, looking with fear at the sharpest swords in the Samar army
The young man had a resolute face, and his high horse's head seemed to be able to frame the second floor along the street
The black armor was gilded with a layer of shining gold by the sky sun,
Let these murderous cavalry be a little less angry and more sacred
Lolikia Hall
It is a tall spire-like building built in the era of Istías four hundred years ago.
It was the royal palace of the Lolikya dynasty, which ruled northern Kudan at that time.
The entire city of Kudan is centered on this building.
Divided into two areas, east and west, eight main passages extend from it to all corners of the city.
The pure white marble appearance makes it so dazzling on this pure Kudan plain,
The golden sunlight shines on the elegant and atmospheric appearance of the house,
Delicate in the vast nature of the earth,
Abruptly towering seven huge spires, surrounding the main body of the white hall,
These are the seven great knights who have made great achievements in the history of Kudan.
They are the spiritual pillars of the Kudan people,
Their bodies were buried under the minarets, and their blood-stained knights' spears and armor were melted into molten iron,
Inject together into the spires of the towers,
Their will, like the spire that points straight to the sky, pierces the sky overhead,
This is the home of the great knights of the North!
Every year, a large number of knights and nobles come to visit, and in front of this great building,
Bow your head and meditate on your creed and desire,
I hope that one day, I can become the eighth knight to reach the top,
It is the center of Kudan,
It is also a landmark building of the entire northern aristocratic culture,
But today,
A new meaning will be attached here,
Here, the nobles of Kudan will swear allegiance to Kudan's new master, to the Grand Duke Regent of the Kingdom from the South.
The heavy door of the Lolikia Hall slowly opened with a creak,
These two gates of glory, engraved with the exploits of seven knights, have not been opened to the outside for hundreds of years.
Even the former rulers, the Stien family did not have the power to open the door,
Every year, during the festival, you can only enter through the side door next to the gate.
In order to open it, it is necessary to have a convincing martial arts and prestige.
And the Stien family, who have always liked to lurk, is obviously unworthy,
With the opening of the gates,
The hinge hidden on the inside of the wall began to turn,
On both sides of the "brush" corridor are bronze knight statues facing outward, driven by the turntable on the soles of the feet, and at the same time turn the body to form a formation facing each other.
Like a steel guard waiting for a thousand years, waking up from a deep slumber at the same time,
