- She asked, while carefully looking at this man's appearance - it had nothing to do with the established impression of a king, without any luxury or magnificence: a simple black long coat with some hand-embroidered patterns, but under the It was blurry in the afternoon sunlight. The sword at the waist was just an ordinary knight's style, without a cage handle, and the brass carving patterns were even a little blackened. ¡øIt looks like something commonly used by small nobles with certain assets in the countryside of the empire.
But in his case, these things seemed to have a different meaning. Without the narrow-mindedness and vulgarity of those little nobles, it felt like it was completely suitable for him
An idea suddenly came to Anna Sui's mind - the similarity between him and Edward was not in appearance, but in something inside. What he possesses is a dignified demeanor, as if he looks down upon all things and regards the world as his own.
Should I say it¡¯s confidence or arrogance?
"Even if I can get it, how are you going to verify it?" The young king laughed: "Forget it, Miss Anna Sui, anyway, I came here just to convey an order. If Edward is not here, I have no choice but to invite you. Tell him that I will use his city teleportation circle to transfer a group of soldiers and resources."
"this¡¡"
Anna Sui was silent for a moment.
Yes, nominally, this is still the city of Tuminis, and His Majesty the King certainly has the right to issue orders. But everyone knows that this reason is extremely ridiculous now. After all, Burgundy has already left the territory of Tuminis. In essence, Edward is no longer a subordinate of the king at all.
"Your Majesty. But the lord doesn't know when he will come back." After thinking about it, she said: "If it is just a small-scale resources or troops"
"The scale may be larger." The young king said: "There are about three groups in the plan. First, there are two groups of two hundred mages, and then there are two groups of knights with the same number. The last group, if your teleportation If the formation can bear it, it will be thirty chariots and drivers.¡±
This scale can already be used as a sneak attack.
There is indeed a teleportation circle in the city of Burgundy, but using it to transport soldiers to Tuminis is really a crazy idea - that is tantamount to acknowledging the cooperative relationship between Burgundy and Tuminis, whether it is a new Neither the empire nor the capital region can sit idly by and ignore this, and may even join forces to fight against it.
after all. That was like driving a nail into their hearts!
The more important thing iscontrol.
Tuminis has the most powerful mage group in the entire continent. Any spell-related issues will become unpredictable in their hands. If they are allowed to connect with the magic circle, what will be sent out in the next step is not just ordinary soldiers or supplies. But a group of occupiers, how to deal with it?
"I'm sorry, I can't make such a decision."
"What is the reason for your hesitation? Because this is no longer Tuminis? Or is it because you want to get proper benefits from me?" The young king's smile faded a little: "It's really interesting, I should say. You really Who is worthy of being his?"
Anna Sui was silent.
"Okay, let's talk about it You are worried that we will use this city as a battlefield after we arrive, right? However, I know that you are not in a good situation now The empire will not give you much Need something, especially food.¡±
The young king¡¯s words made Anna Sui narrow her eyes slightly¡ª¡ª
This is the biggest problem Burgundy is facing now, although she tries her best to hide it. But after all, it is impossible to hide it from those who are interested in investigating.
In terms of food production, the empire¡¯s land is still quite fertile. But after all, it cannot be compared with Tuminis, who generally can harvest twice a year, not to mention the wizard's control of the weather and the growth of crops. in addition. The empire's food storage and collection is a protracted activity - although lords from various places can plunder at any time under the banner of collection, their results will not be quickly gathered into the hands of the upper class, or even impossible. will be gathered into the best hands.
Food can recruit soldiers and feed the populationIn war, it is a more solid currency than gold, which can make people live or die.
However, the situation faced by the Tuminis people is completely different¡ª¡ª
As conquerors, they can not only purchase but also rob. The life-saving grains that the imperial nobles have stored for many years will inevitably play their original role when facing them. Used to ensure the lives of nobles.
"Then, Your Majesty, how much can you give us?What kind of assistance? "
Anna Sui sighed in her heart.
Because this question is too direct. It was tantamount to admitting that one of them was facing a problem, and there was no solution According to her idea, at least it should be raised after testing the other party, and it should be in a hypothetical way - such a direct question is simply It's the same as telling the other person that I really need these things.
She raised her eyes and looked at the person who spoke.
The half-elf lady who had just stepped out of the dimensional door obviously didn't notice her companion's displeasure at all, and she didn't intend to use negotiation to solve the problem - that would take a lot of thinking, and she was too lazy to think about it: " Your Majesty the King, right? Then you must be able to give us a lot of food?"
"It's not too much. About half a million bushels of barley, oats and wheat should be enough."
"That's so generous, Your Majesty." Anna Sui said calmly, before her companions could.
According to general calculations, in a normal year, a commoner on the mainland consumes about four to five bushels of food a year, which is about 240 to 300 pounds, and 500,000 bushels is equivalent to about 100,000 people. A year's food consumption. Of course, it is already the end of summer, so the city of Burgundy basically only needs to wait for about three more months before it can obtain enough food from the surrounding cities. However, in this time of war, this kind of trade will inevitably happen. Suffering.
Five hundred thousand bushels of grain can also support thirty. Even four hundred thousand people spent these three months, for Tuminis now. It's actually quite important.
"With my relationship with Edward, this is nothing. If he needs it, even if it is several times more, I can make up for it. After all, there is not much I can do to help him." The young king Anxiang He smiled and said: "What's more, this is just helping each other."
"We are grateful for your generosity, Your Majesty, but unfortunately we may not be able to give you what you need." Anna Sui said, looking at Claudia who was slowly walking up the city wall: "After all, Edward Your Excellency is not in the city right now, and we cannot decide such an important issue. Or can you give us a little time?"
It sounds like hesitation. But in fact it is just a disguised rejection.
"Really?" The young king's brows twitched slightly, but the smile on his face did not disappear at all: "That is really a pity. I originally thought this was just a trivial matter Okay Well, maybe you will give me an accurate answer within three days. Then, all you beautiful ladies, please allow me to take my leave."
When the words fell, his body had turned into a colorful lightthe color gradually faded away. It became a virtual image like a crystal sculpture, and then turned into fine dust flickering in the sun, flying in the wind.
Anna Sui couldn¡¯t help but be stunned again.
She originally thought that this matter could still be discussed-since the young king could come here in person. This shows that he attaches great importance to his own proposal, but he is not very sure about it. Otherwise, just sending an envoy would be enough, just because of the importance. So he should definitely promote this matter.
If it¡¯s ¡®certain¡¯, then it¡¯s not just about inducing profit. But also to use force.
But now, it seems like there is nothing. He appeared so frivolously and disappeared quietly without even leaving any meaningful message What special plan did he have?
She pondered for a moment, but when the staff lady raised her gaze, she couldn't help but be startled - the half-elf had arrived beside her at some point and was looking up at her slightly. His eyes were just wide open, and he could vaguely hear the sound of grinding his teeth. It's the standard way she behaves when she's dissatisfied.
"Why do you want to drive him away? Do we still have a lot of food? Weren't you just complaining that we can only support it for a month?"
"that is because¡¡"
"I know, I know, you are afraid that he will use some tricks to deal with us! But we should at least get the things first! Five hundred thousand bushels of grain! Even if we get a tenth of it as a deposit, We can almost survive for another two months! And if he really has any nasty plans for us, he must have the strength!"
Lisa raised her voice angrily:
"You are always afraid of this and that. I really don't understand why you are so nervous? Don't forget that what we are most afraid of now is hunger, but what we are least afraid of is war! Even if your nurse didn't show up, We still have Katzeyek! Moreover, I don¡¯t believe that if the city is really beaten, the leaders of the druids will still be huddled in their temples.No matter what! What Tuminis relies on is just a larger number of mages, not those Imperial Elector Legions! Do you think he can really capture Burgundy at once? Hey, that¡¯s right! "
She clapped her hands, as if thinking of something: "Why don't we just let Katzeyek come out and cast a big magic? Anyway, he is not worse than any magician, maybe much better. In this way Come, let¡¯s scare that new empire and let them provide us with food without any difficulty. What do you think, is it a good idea?¡±
"Miss Lisa."
The staff lady shook her head helplessly - even if they got along for a long time, she knew that she would never be able to keep up with the half-elf's jumping thoughts:
"I remember we discussed this topic a year ago, right? Don't forget, Katzeyek is an undead! And he's also an illithid! Before those people give up the idea of ??coveting us, the good gods everywhere will The temple will come to your door first! Do you think the strength of the high priests and high priests of the temple will really be worse than a magician? Moreover, Tuminis also has no shortage of magicians. If it is true Let them also participate in the battle, how are we going to solve it in the end?"
"Really? But at that time, my consideration was not comprehensive enough, right?" The half-elf was not discouraged: "We can do it quietly. No, it is under the guise of a name. Anyway, he can change his appearance, so we will say that he is a Just give him a name and let him kill some people to show his strength! Moreover, the lich can be resurrected without limit. If that doesn't work, just let him fight with those people. The troublesome enemies will die together! Then they will be resurrected with a bang, and consumption will consume them to death!"
"A newly promoted master cannot dispel their greed."
Anna Sui couldn't help but look slightly dim.
Greed is actually not a problem. As long as you are beaten painfully enough, enemies from all sides will not easily provoke you.
But the key is whether Katzeyek will obey orders - this big lich did not stay here because he hopes to find a place to live in Burgundy. But he was forced to help by Edward using his phylactery. Now that Edward has disappeared, no one knows how effective this coercion will be.
Or when Burgundy encounters an irresolvable crisis, he will help, but that does not mean that he will actually follow the instructions of these people to do anything.
"That king seems to have changed a lot." Claudia said suddenly.
The female knight's eyes paused on the stone arrowheads that were being slowly eliminated by the earth element, and she frowned slightly: "He was just an ordinary person originally, and. Among the royal families of Tuminis, there are very few people who have an affinity for the magic network. They are notoriously unsuitable for magic, but the illusion just now was really very advanced."
"The power he used doesn't seem to be magic." Dahni said - the priestess was walking out of a nearby tower. It seemed that she arrived at the same time as others, but she did not choose to show up directly: "And It's not an illusion. I can feel that it was a creature just now, but it suddenly disappeared. What kind of magic can do this?"
"The cowardly rotten cantaloupe."
Lisa sneered softly, but her expression was not much relaxed. "Yeah. But it's a bit strange. You don't think that this guy looks a bit like Edward? It's not the appearance. Anyway, I always feel that there is something the same. Ah! By the way, when he left just now, he looked like he didn't recite a spell. Is the method without gestures the one Edward often uses?"
"I feel the same way," Claudia raised her eyebrows and muttered: "Moreover, his power is far from what he showsand he has some weird aura."
"Yeah, spooky, like Edward."
"You think so too? So I'm telling you, do you still doubt that there will be any problems with him?" Lisa curled her lips: "Isn't he a friend of Edward's?"
But her words caused another sigh from Drow: "Friend he is the most unreliable without this name, not to mention, he is the king of Tuminis. The things he has to consider are beyond the imagination of a naive little guy like you. Yes. Creatures like the king, just like the mistress, are always scary."
"Indeed, in those stories, the king seems to be a conspirator in addition to marrying his daughter. By the way, some of them are perverts!"
Lisa rolled her eyes and focused her attention on her old enemy: "Don't you like powerful people the most? This guy is also very strong? Shake your two balls of flesh more, Burgundy The future of our country may be in your hands. Maybe youIf this rotten melon stays with him for a few days, he will give us more food. What other privileges do we have? "
"I'm not interested. He looks far worse than Edward, and I don't think he will love me as much as Edward does."
"Tsk, tsk, you actually learned the word love? But by the way, doesn't Edward like to do that with you the most? Why don't you have a child of his?
"It's not that easy since we're not from the same race. What's more, in fact, every time he does it with me, you're there. Most of it is wasted by you. Of course, it's hard for me to succeed Besides, the elf Hybrids with humans are the rarest thing. Otherwise, with the lifespan of elves, there would already be hundreds of thousands of half-elves in the world"
"Really? Isn't it true that you can't give birth?"
"A mule can't be born"
"Who do you think is a mule?"
¡¡
"What a group of interesting girls Edward, should I congratulate you for realizing your dream?"
The young king narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed softly.
He is currently sitting in his own marching tent, on a comfortable wicker chair. The tent is surrounded by thick felt cloth, but his sight seems to pass through the tent and fall on the distant horizon. On top of a majestic tower.
"It's a pity that you can't see it anymore, can you? No, you never die so easily. Maybe you will come back soon."
"Your Majesty, are youpreparing to attack that city?"
"I have no interest in touching that place." The young king smiled: "There are too many troubles in that city, and they are too scary Fortunately, there is no Edward to unify it, so it can't do anything for the time being. Power. But as long as there is a little external force, it can swallow up most idiots until not even the dregs are left, right?"
"This kind of stupid thing is just right for the Imperial people to do."
"The news has been passed on. They should take action soon," (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! - Didn't finish reading?
