Otherworld, Banshee Fort. The core city of the Bouche family.
This is a city built on the edge of a mountain range. The city wall divides it into two parts, inside and outside. Inside the city are nobles and wealthy businessmen, and outside the city are civilians and farmers.
The scale of the city is so large that it has blocked the road from the North to the South. Countless goods merchants need to pay business taxes here, which makes the family extremely wealthy.
Within 50 kilometers of Banshee Fort, there are farmland and water conservancy that took a hundred years to cultivate, which is quite rare in the North. Relying on relatively abundant food, the Buche family has a strong voice in the Northland.
With money and food, Banshee Fort's territory, population, nobles, army, no matter what, surpassed Coldwind City near the Black Forest.
Just by occupying a few more cities and expanding the scale, the Bouche family can become a duchy, and the patriarch of the family can become the king even further.
Inisa stood on the wizard's tower in the city, overlooking the city square not far away. The square is large and beautiful, and there is a market every three days. There is also an execution function in the corner.
Just beside a few fruit stalls, the executioner was pulling up the guillotine knife. The stout soldier pressed a struggling guy under the guillotine.
The citizens on the square are familiar with this, and only a few people are onlookers. Should most people do business or do business, at most, ask each other who is going to be put to death
"It's a messenger from the Lehman family in Coldwind City."
Knight Naser appeared behind the princess and reported back: "The Buche family's harassment strategy did not work, but gave Victor a chance to clear the nobles of Coldwind City. He completely controlled the city and had more power than any previous family. "
The princess turned her eyes, and sighed lonely: "Why do you want to execute the messenger?"
The old knight also sighed, "According to the news from the businessman, Victor launched a strong attack half a month ago, an unexpected but overwhelming attack.
The Allard family is over, and Lehman and the Mills family escaped from Coldwind City. They hope to get the same treatment as the Long-legged family in Banshee Fort. But Phil Longlegs strongly opposed.
The Butcher family also felt that the losers were too wasteful and did not accept the surrender of the other side. They sent a force of thousands to attack north.
The troops are led by Baron Bishop and assisted by Lord Exxon of the Long Legs family, preparing to kill the escaped nobles of Coldwind City, and then defeat Victor Hugo. "
Hearing the familiar name, Enisa felt a little confused in her heart. It's been a year since she left the Black Forest, and she was about to forget the man's face.
But the other party's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached the point where it can't be ignored.
There were many people standing behind the princess. There are wizards, knights, and priests. They are all nobles, all exiles from the Principality of Oss.
The Principality was occupied by rebellion, and the royal family was mercilessly slaughtered. But the lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Principality of Oss is a country with a million people and more than a dozen cities.
Zhou Qingfeng had a certain power only when he was killed and killed in Cold Wind City. Inisa showed off her princess banner, and countless princely honours brought their own dry food and territories to take refuge in her.
In the past year, the power of the princess relied on the Banshee Fort to fought several battles against the rebellion of the South, winning each other's victory and defeating each other.
This allowed more Oss nobles to recognize the identity of Inisa, and more people belonged to it.
The people of the Northland regard Inisa and Victor as two newly emerging forces, and the bard is making up their legendary story. Especially when they are a man and a woman and they are very young, rumors and rumors continue one after another.
The more famous the princess, the more people pay attention to her.
People who proposed to her have been in an endless stream this year. In the beginning, they were just ordinary little knights and little lords. They felt that the people who lost the country were nothing great. Even though they didn't have a dowry to marry a princess, they had fame and beauty.
But as Enissa's power grew stronger, the dignitaries in the north became more interested in her. The status of suitors has also risen, from high lords to high nobles. Recently, I heard that the Bouche family is also very interesting to her.
Realizing the merger of territories through marriage is common in the entire Faerun continent. The nobles made no secret of their coveting of the Principality of Oss, hoping to easily annex it through the transfer of inheritance rights.
The elders and children of Oss also believe that it is urgent to choose a suitable partner for the princess. They are openly discussing the property, territory, power, and family pedigree of a certain suitor, and they take the initiative to mediate with Inessa.
Of course, there is no Victor Hugo's name. Because the'monsters from the black forest' have no noble status, they are more likely to be killed by the Bouche family at any time.
For the marriage proposal, Enisa was unbearable. She just wants to restore the country and avenge her family and relatives. The only thought she woke up every day was how to put to death the rebellion that ruined her whole family.
As for marriage, she didn't even think about it.
Maybe...
I thought about it for a while, but the person who walked into her heart seemed to be getting more and more distant.
Victor Hugo slaughtered the nobles, despised the church, deprived of privileges, treated merchants and civilians kindly, popularized knowledge, and promoted a large number of officials from the bottom.
All this is completely contrary to the current system.
Inisa admires Victor Hugo's talent. She is in a state of extreme depression in Harmony Village and has also practiced the other party's policy. Life at that time was really simple and happy.
But when she came to the Banshee Castle, when the legacy of the old country surrounded her, and when Enisa became the respected princess again, she felt that the policies implemented by Victor were too extreme.
The upper person is not like the upper person, unable to make the difference between the lower person and the upper person.
Even...
Victor is very similar to the rebellion that subverted the Principality of Oss.
The two young men and women met in the wild, but they were like intersecting lines. The fate was once intertwined, but after they separated, they drifted away and could never look back.
Every time I think about this, it makes me very melancholy.
"His Royal Highness, Baron Bishop wants to ask to see you?" An attendant walked to Enisa.
Bishop
An arrogant middle-aged face appeared in Enisa's mind. The other party recently tried to pursue her and ran over to flatter her when she caught the opportunity. She didn't want to see it or not, just because the other party's status was not low.
After a while, Baron Bishop was dressed up in flowers and appeared like a social flower. He wore pair of pointed boots, tights, lace cuffs, a thorn sword on his waist, and powder on his body.
The baron did not come alone, and his footsteps rumbling behind him, followed by a group of nobles who were not low in status. These are all officers who are going to accompany him on the expedition, and are about to sweep the chaos in the north.
Seeing the luxurious princess Oss, a group of men showed their infatuation.
Even if Enisa sternly ordered, "Stop, don't get too close to me," they still liked the cold nobility. Other women are as beautiful as they are!
Baron Bishop approached within three meters of Inisa, the strong powdery smell masked his nose. Kneeling on one knee, he thought affectionately and shouted: "My love, my beauty, the light in my life..."
Enissa felt that she was going to nausea. To say that she has any dissatisfaction with the nobility, pretentious words are one of them. She yelled sharply, "Say it straight if you have any."
"I'm about to set off to quell evil, save suffering, and restore order in the world. I also want to defeat my biggest love enemy, the kid named Victor Hugo.
I know you belong to Victor Hugo, but I am not discouraged, on the contrary, I am even more excited. I will prove to you, who is the real man! "
The aria that the Baron had learned from nowhere, in just two passages, was circulated and faltered, as if he were playing a drama. Enissa was really bored with it and couldn't help but mocked: "Baron, what gives you the confidence to win?"
"It's you!" The baron in his forties raised his head like a young man. "The love for you makes me fearless. I hope to receive your blessing."
Vomit...
I really can't stand it.
Enisa immediately coldly said, "Go to hell!"
