If he wanted to defeat the Khergit Khanate again, he had to find another person.
But after thinking about it, no one was more suitable than Wals. For the first time, King Ragnar regretted his decision.
Soon, with the retreat of Maltas, Nayan Hugu also received the news from Maltas's messenger. Without Maltas to resist King Ragnar's troops in the north, the Silver Fox Dog could not rob property in the south. Soon the two armies met in Dehrim. Some soldiers took the materials and finances looted from the Nord Kingdom back to the country of the Khergit Khanate. The rest were stationed near Dehrim to prevent King Ragnar from wanting to besiege Dehrim.
King Ragnar did not besiege Dehrim. Since the Khergit Khanate had withdrawn its troops, he was not in a hurry to hold the Khergit Khanate responsible. The top priority was to quell the civil strife first.
As Edenjar's troops retreated, King Ragnar realized that it was almost impossible for him to pacify Vols, so he went to Peters' bedside and asked how he could take back Vols.
But when he arrived at Peters' residence with heavy and sad steps, Peters was already dying.
Peters had been living alone in a simple house. When Ragnar arrived, Peters stood up weakly from his bed. King Ragnar knew that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He immediately ordered his servants to assign him some odd jobs. But this couldn't make up for Peters' pain. He could only watch the time pass day by day. The disease had taken away most of her vitality. Maybe in the near future, she would leave the world.
When King Ragnar mentioned how to appease Vols and make him a part of the Nord Kingdom again, Peters could only shake his head helplessly. King Ragnar seemed to have known that it was impossible to appease my heart. But Ragnar never gave up any hope in his heart.
He stood in front of Peters' bed, slowly moving through his body, his eyes full of hatred, and Peters could feel the rage burning in the king. All the causes were actually caused by one person, Hewitt. Only by getting rid of Hewitt could Wals be forgiven. King Ragnar thought so, but it was unknown whether Wals thought so.
Peters had seen through King Ragnar's intentions. He wanted to kill Hewitt, but whether he could kill Hewitt was still unknown. At this moment, Hewitt was staying with Edenjar.
"In order to monitor King Ragnar's movements at all times, both enemies and friends will place spies around King Ragnar. The enemies, of course, want to monitor King Ragnar's military movements, while friends only want to monitor King Ragnar's preferences. If King Ragnar wants to attack me one day, I, the spy, will notify its master in advance so that its master can escape the crisis.
Hewitt and Edenjar both placed some people around King Ragnar, so that they could provide them with enough intelligence one day in the future to avoid any crisis.
King Ragnar had inadvertently told his guards that he wanted to kill Hewitt. That guard was the one whom Hewitt had bribed. He immediately asked another messenger to inform Hewitt, who was heading towards Sagos, of this information.
When the messenger appeared in front of Hewitt and told him that Ragnar was going to operate on him, Hewitt knew that he was in big trouble.
Originally, if he had successfully conquered Walsh, none of this would have happened. Hewitt was already gritting his teeth in hatred. But the crisis had already occurred, and he could not just sit there and wait for death.
At night, yes, it was already night when the messenger found him, and he sneaked directly into Idenyar's camp.
"Who is it? Why are you looking for me so late at night?"
This time, Idenjar is going to meet King Ragnar. Since he is a defeated general, it is natural for him to meet his king. Idenjar has made up his mind. It is normal for him to accept Ragnar's punishment.
At this moment, in the middle of the night, someone actually came to disturb him. Now he felt a little annoyed.
"It's me! Hewitt."
At this time, when Edenyar heard Hewitt's voice, he calmed down his angry heart.
"What's going on?"
Hewitt just appeared as a dark shadow in front of Edenyar, and it was obvious that a heavy aura emanated from Hewitt.
"Ragnar is going to kill us."
Hewitt said, you're not surprising.
"How is that possible?"
Idenyar almost jumped out of his bed. He couldn't believe such a statement.
"We were defeated! This means we will never have a chance to defeat Vols again. The Rhodok in the south will never be able to become part of the Nordic Kingdom, so King Ragnar has every reason to kill us. The spy I planted beside King Ragnar has reported this to me. The initiative is in our hands. In order not to harm his former comrades, Vols has preserved all the strength and integrity of our troops."
"Wait!" Edenyar was still immersed in King Ragnar's words that he wanted to kill him, and had no time to pay attention to the meaning of Hewitt's subsequent words.
"No, I don't believe it! I must find King Ragnar in person to ask for the truth."
Edenyar wanted to argue, but Hewitt's next words made him fall into deep thought forever.
"There's no chance! Take my advice General! Let's do the same as Walls!"
"What!?"
Idengar was a little overwhelmed for a moment. The darkness blinded her eyes and made her lose her reason and calm. "We have most of the power of the Nord Kingdom. As long as we can convince the remaining lords to join us and have strong military force, we can overthrow King Ragnar. Think about Wals, he is just a fallen nobleman, but he has the ability to become a king? Isn't this an irony? If you think about it, wouldn't someone of noble birth like you have a better chance of becoming a king?"
Hewitt had become so desperate that he knew that if he did not resist, he would be killed, exiled, or driven away by King Ragnar.
Idenyar suddenly fell into deep thought, wondering which was more important. If he went to Sargos foolishly, he would be killed by King Ragnar, but if he chose to rebel, he would still have a chance of survival. But if he rebelled, it would not be enough to rely on the strength of the two armies of himself and Hewitt. Those nobles were all arrogant guys, and he could not control them alone.
"Even if I am born nobler than Wals, I cannot control those nobles because they have the same bloodline as me. If I want to establish myself as king, then they will have a better chance."
Idenyar's analysis made sense, but he didn't realize that King Ragnar's words about wanting to kill him were a lie Hewitt had told her in order to save his life.
"I know! If we want to rebel now, no one will submit to anyone else. General, you will definitely catch them. But I know there is someone who can help the lord by stabbing you in the face, and no one will spread rumors anymore."
Hewitt's words aroused Idenyar's interest. If such a person really existed, he could be made king, but this king must be under his control. He would become his puppet and secretly control the entire Nord Kingdom.
When he thought of this person, the image of a character suddenly appeared in front of Yidenyar's eyes.
"The Prophet Lethven!"
These are the words that came out of Hewitt's mouth. Edenjar finally understood what Hewitt wanted to do.
"I understand what you mean! But why should we find this guy and ask him? Because of King Ragnar's order, he hasn't set foot in the Nord Kingdom for a long time. Where can we find her and bring her back to the country?"
"You don't have to worry about this! As long as we raise the flag and save our lives first, we can send people to find the prophet Lethven. When the prophet Lethven hears that there is a group of people supporting him in the country, I believe he will rush back to his country as soon as possible. By then, we will have both reputation and army. Do you hope that the Nord Kingdom will not be under our rule? King Ragnar wants to kill or exile us, which is impossible."
After this night, Idenjar seemed to have become a different person. Her eyes, which were blinded by the darkness, now saw a path to light. Of course, this was undoubtedly a disaster for King Ragnar.
Since then, all the territories west of Sargoth, centered around Tiha, that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Nord, have changed hands. King Ragnar was waiting for Hewitt on his way back, but his messenger reported to him a piece of news that he could not believe.
There has been a rebellion in Edenjar.
Because it carried a powerful military force, the other small lords had no choice but to surrender, or they chose to stand on the side of Idenyar. Because Rudyaar knew the news in advance, he temporarily escaped Idenyar's pursuit. Now he is leading his troops back to his territory, which is Ruda Castle.
"This is simply unbelievable! Is Idenjar going to declare himself king like Vols?" Ragnar knew Idenjar's bloodline very well. He was nobler than Vols, but he definitely didn't have the courage to declare himself king. According to the information he knew, Idenjar had already gone to find another claimant to the Nordic Kingdom.
The prophet Lethven.
"I knew it! I knew I shouldn't have shown mercy and left the prophet Lethven there. I should have wiped out the roots."
No matter how much King Ragnar lamented now, it was of no use. He could only pat his chest and express his unhappiness.
Today, civil war broke out in the Nord Kingdom.
If Wals had declared himself king before, it could be considered a separatist activity, but now, Edenjar nominated the prophet Lesven as king, which was a power struggle within the Nord Kingdom.
And because most of the territories led by Idenyaar obeyed Idenyaar's command, this meant that more than half of the power of the Nord Kingdom was controlled by Idenyaar.
King Ragnar knew that he could not sit idle, he now had to worry about the troops that he could only worry about.
The two generals he had planted in Edenjar's army, Farrington and Wildaxe, were both captured by Edenjar. King Ragnar now had no generals to help him lead his army, so he had to go out on his own. Edenjar used his powerful force to convince those lords, so that the soldiers under those lords also belonged to Edenjar. King Ragnar was at a disadvantage at the beginning of the war.
But the situation on the mainland is developing so fast.
Wals, who was in Viruga, suddenly received news from his messenger.
"What! Did Edenjar declare war on King Ragnar when he returned? They want to nominate the prophet Lethven as the new king of the Nord Kingdom.
When Wals heard that the intelligence he had brought back from the mainland was still there, he was immediately excited. This was a good opportunity. While the Nord Kingdom was still in the civil war, Wals could stabilize the rebellious forces in Rhodok in the near future, and the remnants of the Rhodok Kingdom could be wiped out one by one.
However, the situation developed very quickly. When an intelligence officer left in front of Wals, Wals had just sat down in his seat when another intelligence officer entered the castle hall. At this time, the castle hall was empty. All the generals and lords were arranged by Wals to build their own territories. Aileen and other noble lords have been divided into fiefdoms. They will go to their own territories and deal with their subjects properly. When the next war starts, they will draw a large number of strong fighting forces from their fiefdoms.
"Your Majesty! We have brought good news. In Paraven, Swadia, Velis, who was fighting against the Kingdom of Swadia, has re-established the Kingdom of Swadia under the leadership of Lady Aesona of Suno. Their enemy is the Kingdom of Nord."
The intelligence personnel once again brought Wals good news, and Wals was extremely happy today. Two powerful forces were disturbing King Ragnar's ruling position, so King Ragnar could no longer continue to clear him out. Let the three families fight each other in the north, and he only needed to stabilize the south.
Wales waved his hand, signaling him to go down quickly. However, there was a lot of news today. When the third intelligence officer stepped into the castle's hall, Wales frowned. He could feel that this must be bad news. It couldn't be too many good things in one day.
As Walls expected, this intelligence brought news of the Rhodok rebellion.
"Your Majesty! The Rhodok people in the Aren Mountains raised the banner of rebellion under the leadership of Lord Viruga Kestor. It was the remaining nobles of Aren who invited Lord Kestor. The troops we have assembled in Aren are too few."
Wals frowned. This was within his expectation. Wals' control over Aaron and its surrounding areas was relatively weak. The most urgent task should be to return to Viruga and dispatch troops to quickly stabilize the situation in Aaron. Lord Kesto was a claimant of the Rhodok Kingdom. Although the original king was King Griffus, King Griffus has been exiled now. The Rhodok Kingdom is leaderless. The original claimant, Lord Kesto, now has the opportunity to become the king of the Rhodok Kingdom again. However, if he wants to regain the lost territory, he should first defeat Wals.
Walsh waved his hands. He knew he couldn't stop for a moment. The situation on the continent was changing so fast that it might be beyond Walsh's ability to cope with it.
But today is destined to be a day worth remembering, because too many things happened on this day. Wals' intelligence personnel are rushing to Viruga continuously, because the situation on the continent has changed dramatically.
On the way, Maltas met Dastam Khan. As luck would have it, Dastam Khan was the claimant of the Khergit Khanate. If nothing unexpected happened, Saiga Khan would divide the entire Khergit Khanate equally with Dastam Khan. However, Saiga Khan did not do so. The tradition of the Khergit people was to divide the property into two halves and give it to the son after the father's death. However, Saiga Khan believed that if he allowed the country to split on the mainland, it would not survive, so he exiled Dastam Khan.
Martas had accepted the defeat. The blow of being defeated by King Ragnar was too great for him. Nayan Hugu asked to continue to drive Dastam Khan out of the border of the Khergit Khanate, but Martas did not do so. He chose another approach.
The original theory of bloodline on the continent was broken because of the appearance of Wals. A declining noble could establish himself as king. If that was the case, why couldn't Maltas, a guy from a poor family, do the same
Martas chose to support Dastam Khan. Nayan Hugu knew that he could only pretend to help Martas temporarily because of his lack of troops. In fact, he had planned to act as a spy in Martas' army. The appearance of Dastam Khan was definitely not a coincidence. Dastam Khan had noticed the turbulent situation on the continent. He had inquired about Martas of the Khergit Khanate in advance. It stands to reason that Saiga Khan only expelled Dastam Khan from the country. After seeing Dastam Khan, the nobles in the Khergit Khanate would respect him. Although they could not bring Dastam Khan back to the country, he was a claimant after all, and a person of noble blood, so the respect for him naturally could not be reduced.
So for Dastam Khan, meeting with Martas would only mean losing some face. If he failed, he would lose some face, but if he succeeded, he would have the possibility to regain the throne of the Khergit Khanate.
At this time, the already chaotic Calradia continent was in a bloody storm again. The southernmost desert country, the Sarand Sultanate, was originally a peaceful country. They could take advantage of the civil wars in other countries on the continent to strike hard and wipe out all the enemies. Unfortunately, Falvia, the biggest contributor to the Sarand Sultanate's attack on the Khergit Khanate, found Alva, the light of pearl.
Alvar the Pearl is a propagandist for the Sultanate who has enough claims to claim the throne of the Sarand Sultanate. Falvia finds Alvar the Pearl and promotes him as the new king of the Sarand Sultanate.
Lady Aisona, the restorer of the Kingdom of Swadia, Lesven, the propagandist of the Kingdom of Nord, Erwa, the Pearl of Light of the Sarand Sultanate, and Dastam Khan of the Khergit Khanate.
These people are not Vols's enemies for the time being. Vols's top priority is to pacify Lord Kesto in Rhodok. He has been re-crowned as the king of the Rhodok Kingdom.
The Rhodok Kingdom, which had been destroyed, revived at this moment. Lord Kesto seized the opportunity that Vols had just occupied the Rhodok Kingdom and had not yet established a stable foundation. The great nobles in the Rhodok Kingdom were forcibly removed by the Nord Kingdom, but the small nobles in the villages scattered within the Rhodok Kingdom did not support Vols. At the same time, most of the civilians in the Rhodok Kingdom were worried about whether Vols could bring them a better life. Or whether they could maintain their previous life
Wals also understood that he left behind people like Manid, Yamila, and Catherine. They were responsible for logistics and internal affairs and helped Wals manage the occupied territory of the Rhodok Kingdom.
Only if the people of the Rhodok Kingdom can have a better life, will they voluntarily follow Wals. On the other hand, Wals personally led his direct troops, that is, the Nord soldiers led by the Nord Kingdom. These soldiers all voluntarily followed Wals, and their loyalty was extremely high. At this moment, if you lead your Rhodok soldiers to fight, those Rhodok soldiers will definitely not be willing to obey Wals' orders, and most of the elite Rhodok soldiers have been eliminated by Wals, and it is impossible to form a strong army in a short time.
