With the help of the servants, Duke Eddie sat down on the large main seat, and the fat ass suddenly filled the seating area of the chair, and some of the fat stretched out, making it very uncomfortable to sit on.Tsk, why is this chair getting smaller again?
After the meeting, be sure to ask someone to change to a bigger one.Patting his bulging belly, Duke Eddie looked around at everyone and slowly said a shocking news."
Ladies and gentlemen, I recently received news from the royal capital that His Majesty the King passed away two months ago."
As soon as these words came out, the people present showed shocked expressions.No one questioned that Duke Eddie didn't need to deceive everyone, and the faces of the three counts quickly calmed down, and they didn't urgently ask Duke Eddie anything, but waited patiently for him to finish the rest of his words."
There is no doubt that a battle for the throne will soon break out between the eldest prince and the third prince.Both of them threw an olive branch to the Eastward Fortress, and now it's up to us to make a choice. ”"Duke Eddie, what else do you know about the royal capital?
Tell us more about it. ”Count Yum asked.Since you have to choose one of the two, you must analyze the respective advantages of the eldest prince and the third prince, and choose the prince who supports the big winner is the best option.Duke Eddie turned his head and gestured with his eyes to the thin man who had accompanied him.The thin man hurriedly stepped forward and placed on the table the two letters he had received the day before.Duke Eddie then gave a brief account of what the two princes had written in their letters.At the same time, the three counts took turns picking up the royal letter and reading it cursoryly."
Hmm......"
Count Corette put on a pensive look, "the third prince controls the royal capital and its surroundings, and also has the support of the Golden Acropolis.And the eldest prince has the support of Fengsui City and Longya Ridge, which is equivalent to gaining the support of the entire northern territory. ”"I personally have some opinions that I would like to share with you."
Earl Pearl confidently analyzed: "The situation around the kingdom is not optimistic, and most of the troops are deployed on the border.The royal capital's own forces can only be used for defense, and the number of soldiers in the Golden Acropolis has been reduced many times, and it has long been inferior to before.Therefore, the third prince could not use many troops. ”It is mentioned here that the Golden Acropolis is the guardian city of the royal capital Junhui City, and is responsible for ensuring the safety of the royal capital.Previously, due to the development of the Mystery Realm Forest, he was attacked by the forest overlord Black Dragon King, resulting in heavy losses for the kingdom's army.In order to guard against the reappearance of the Black Dragon King, the king ordered the establishment of an outpost town in the northeast of the royal capital, at the junction of the Wenshui River and the Weishui River, to monitor the movement of the Northern Forest.Later, the town gradually grew and became the Golden Acropolis of today.Since the Black Dragon King never appeared again, the lords of the Golden Acropolis kept reducing the number of soldiers in order to reduce financial expenditures.Earl Pearl continued, "And the fertile plains of the north are the most important food producing areas of the kingdom, with a large population, and they are also the source of troops for the Red Sand Fortress and the Dragon's Tooth Ridge, which can easily assemble a large army.Judging from the comparison of forces alone, the eldest prince clearly has an advantage. ”"Then we support the Great Prince?"
Count Corette looked at the other two."
You can't make a decision that simple."
Count Yum stroked his beard, "The forces that the third prince can use may not be enough to take the initiative to attack, but the king has the strongest group of magicians in the kingdom.Under the power of the Great Magic, the Great Prince's army may be severely damaged. ”"Big magic is powerful, but it's not without a way to deal with it."
The Earl of Pearl argued.Is it to support the eldest prince or the third prince?
The four had a long argument."
I have an idea that we can get the most out of it."
Duke Eddie showed a few gold teeth and said with a wicked smile."
Let's go support the Great Prince.During the period when the eldest prince leads the army to attack the royal capital, the attention of the third prince will definitely be focused on the north, and we can send troops to launch a sneak attack from the flank to help the eldest prince become His Majesty.In this way, we are the heroes, and the prince will not treat us badly. ”"What if the eldest prince fails?"
Yum asked."
If it fails, we will recognize the third prince as the next king."
Duke Eddie said nonchalantly, "Even if the eldest prince is defeated, the third prince will still have to spend time cleaning up Duke Marcus in the north, and he will not have time or spare troops to deal with the east."
In order to consolidate the throne, presumably the third prince is also willing to accept our allegiance. ”"That's a good idea."
Count Corette agreed.The Earl of Pearl nodded in agreement.Three people have already decided to support the Great Prince, and it is useless for Count Yum not to agree.In the end, everyone unanimously chose to support the eldest prince, and then began to discuss how many troops to send and how to cooperate with the eldest prince's actions.A few days later, Count David of Waterfront City also made a decision, just like the Dongsheng Fortress.The two sides decided to send a combined army to support the Grand Prince.…… The time goes back to the late night after the Spring Festival party.Exhausted, Kadir and his party returned to their camp tents, having just cleaned up the debris left over from the burning out of the campfire.Lying on the floor, Kadir put his hands under his head, and couldn't help but think: "Eh!
Winter is over, and now there is no threat from the undead.You say, is the militia about to be disbanded?
”One of his teammates on the opposite side of his head responded, "I guess, we don't have to fight, and the lord doesn't need to continue to spend money on us."
By the time of the next winter, the militia will be reorganized. ”"Ugh-" another teammate sighed, "After the dismissal, I should go back to the Trans-Mine to mine, if only this well-paid job could continue." ”"I'll go back to the Sky Dome Mine as well.""
Wow!
Were all miners before joining the militia?
”"I'm not, I still have a field at home that I can grow."
The other teammates were quick to babble."
Be content, all of you!"
Kadir chimed in, "I've heard that the mine is equipped with big iron bumps that can help transport ore and pump water, and mining is easier than before.The salary system has also been reformed, and as long as you work hard, the money you can get is still good. ”"These changes are brought about by the lord."
Blue said suddenly.After a pause, he added, "Do you really think that Lord Lord will disband the militia?"
”"Or else?"
Kadir looked at him suspiciously."
Before the arrival of winter, the lord issued a conscription order and gathered us to train for more than a month in advance.If we really want to disband, why bother training us so hard?
Why didn't you call us up on the first day of winter?
”Blue said."
Isn't it to deal with undead monsters?""
Then it's enough to practice the bayonet gun directly.Why are there other irrelevant trainings?
There was also cultural training, and even muskets and artillery were picked from us to learn. ”Hearing what Blue said, Kadir also felt a little strange, but what was the use of the lord keeping the militia?
