"... Now you understand, your cousin, Queen Sissy, concealed most of the truth when she wrote to you asking for help. Just to touch you. In fact, she doesn't even know who the child in her womb is..." Lorist stroked the soft and slender hair of Princess Sylvia, who was nestled against his chest.
Princess Sylvia raised her head, tears streaming down her cheeks. Even though her cousin, Princess Sissi, had a miserable life and had many lovers, she still couldn't let it go for a long time because it was a dead body and two lives.
"I hate grandpa, how could he do it, Sissy is also his granddaughter, the child is about to be born..." Princess Sylvia choked up.
"Baby, don't be sad, let him go after what happened..." Lorist advised, "Actually, it's not that our King doesn't know about Queen Sissi's affair, but he didn't pay attention to it and was too lazy to care about it." That's all. He combined with your cousin just for profit, to pull your Fesabrun family into his chariot, and check and balance our Norton family by the way. So all he needs is a queen from the Fessabrun family, so that Your grandpa stands with him.
If your cousin Sissy is self-aware, no matter how many lovers she finds, His Majesty will not pay attention to her, but she should never have seduced the Knights of Wixus, and she is also pregnant. You know that the Knight of Wixus is His Majesty's illegitimate son and His Majesty's preferred heir. Queen Sissi seduced the Knights of Wixas while dating other lovers, and ended up with a big belly but didn't know whose child it was. This was her own death.
His Majesty said that he must prevent the birth of this child, because he was worried that this child might be used in the future to embarrass the succession of the Wixus knights. So he can only make such a decision. Although it is cruel and cold, it is his only choice. Your grandfather is also very aware of this, we are nobles, not ordinary civilians, and we cannot tolerate certain things that exceed the rules... "
Although Princess Sylvia was still a little sad, she was not unreasonable. She lay on Lorist's chest without saying a word, and then fell asleep. Lorist held her in his arms, and gently placed her on the pillow next to her, covered her with a light velvet quilt, and then continued to lean on the bed and think.
The Second Highness hastily came and went back again. His first purpose of coming this time was to inform Lorist about what happened in the imperial capital. After all, Lorist is also the Kingdom's Sword Master of the Kingdom. He has to do many things. Get Lorist's support. The second thing he hoped was that Lorist could accept Wixus as his disciple, which was paving the way for his illegitimate son. However, Lorist refused. Lorist said that the disciples he wanted to accept had to be sixteen years old, and he had to be a servant by his side for two years. He could only consider whether to accept him as a disciple after examining his character. Unfortunately, Wick No matter how you look at it, the Sass knight doesn't meet Lorist's requirements.
The last thing for His Highness the Second Highness is to inform the itinerary and arrange the date of the Restoration Ceremony and enthronement as emperor. Originally, His Royal Highness planned to hold a grand celebration ceremony half a year after Banshi returned to the imperial capital, announcing that he had restored and unified all the territory of the former Krissen Empire, and re-used the country name of the Krissen Empire, and he would also ascend the throne Become Oroseg the Great of the Resurrected Empire.
It's just that I didn't expect that the incident of Empress Sissi's pregnancy just after returning to the imperial capital gave the second highness a blow. After dealing with this royal scandal, the second highness has no face to hold any grand ceremony in a short period of time, and even has no face to continue to stay in the imperial capital. . He could only postpone the date of his ascension to the throne, so he used the excuse of inspecting the entire territory of the empire to go to the provinces to check the people's conditions, then went to the Fisabrun family's territory to marry a queen, and finally returned to the imperial capital to hold the enthronement ceremony.
In addition to these three things when he came to Morente City, His Highness also wanted to see if he could reach an armistice agreement with the Business Alliance to restore peace within the next two years. He didn't want the enthronement ceremony two years later to be disturbed by the business alliance. However, Lorist told him very clearly that instead of holding any hope of peace talks with the business alliance, it is better to carefully study how to completely eliminate this enemy.
Now what Lorist has to consider is an application report submitted by the Self-Government Committee of Morente City. This time, he is not asking for money, but is asking the Norton family to take back the Christopher Hills or provide assistance to the Self-Government Committee. According to the report, the Christopher Hills have been the territory of Morente City since ancient times. Although it is barren, it is indispensable. It provided Morente City with firewood and charcoal, meat such as pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep and poultry, coarse grains and feed such as potatoes and oats, and many raw materials for production. The most important thing is that the commercial route from the Cristo Hills to the Titanic Mountains can trade goods with the Dwarf Kingdom, which is very important to the revived commercial economy of Morant City.
Lorist found that in many cases, the plan did not change quickly, and the plan could not even catch up with the changes in the situation. Just like when His Royal Highness planned to gather millions of troops to approach the border of the Faliqiu Plain, he was going to force the business alliance to agree to his request to return the occupied territory of the former Krissen Empire to sign a peace agreement. It's a pity that the business alliance only dispatched a storm sword master to disgrace the second highness. The two sides finally fought bloody in the Mana Hill Plain for three years.
Another example is that the Norton family armed forces defeated the Armada, landed in the Golden Bay, and captured Morant City and the Mana Hill Plain, intending to use this to coerce the business alliance to surrender and sign an armistice agreement to restore peace. No one would have thought that the Business Alliance would abandon Morente City and withdraw its troops to leave the Mana Hill Plain. As a result, Lorist stepped into the big pit of Morente City with the Norton family's armed forces, and there was no way to get out.
So Lorist had no choice but to start anew, preparing to establish a free alliance to compete with the commercial alliance. For this reason, he also invested a huge sum of 14 million goldfords in Morente City to increase the number of free alliances to be established. Strength. But the current situation is that those guys in the Autonomous Committee in charge of the power of Morente City are not fools, they are all old and treacherous people, they will not refuse to be in charge of the new Liberty Alliance, but they also understand that there is no Norton family With the support of the armed forces, they could not resist the attack of the commercial alliance, so they wished that Lorist and the Norton family's armed forces and the Freedom Alliance could be tied as deeply as possible. The report for the recovery of the Christopher Hills was also for this purpose.
Lorist heaved a long sigh. For him, the most ideal situation is that the armed forces of the Commercial Alliance and the soon-to-be-formed Freedom Alliance will fight to the death on the Fali Hill Plain, while the armed forces of the Norton family will watch the show behind and wait until the Commercial Alliance When the armed forces show any flaws, give them a fatal blow. This way, you can win without paying too much casualties, and you can be regarded as a lifesaver by the Freedom Alliance. That kind of ending is perfect.
But now the Morente City Autonomous Committee’s idea is to push the Norton family’s armed forces on the front line of the Mana Hill Plain to block the attack of the Commercial Alliance’s armed forces so as to give the Freedom Alliance time to develop. Seeing that the six Freedom Corps have been formed and trained, they are ready to go to Mana. The six fortress cities in the hilly plain exchanged defenses with the defending Norton family's armed forces, so they came up with the idea of taking back the Cristo Hills. This clearly did not want the Norton family's armed forces to easily withdraw from the front line.
In more than five months, the Norton family's armed forces helped the Morente City Autonomous Committee form six small 8,000-strong Freedom Corps. They are planning to take over the six fortress cities on the Mana Hill Plain, but now the self-government committee submitted the application report for recovering the Cristo Hills, but it says that they hope to dispatch three free corps to recover Chris with the help of the Norton family. There are many hills, and two of the remaining three free corps went to defend Thomas City and Gipsy City, and one stayed in Morente City.
They are all human beings, and they have a good plan. Lorist smiled wryly. Thomas City and Gipsies City are the two closest fortress cities to Morente City. The land around the city has been sorted out and opened up, and will soon be allocated to Morun who bought the farm. It can be said that they are two very safe fortress cities in the rear. The four fortress cities in front of them will face attacks from the armed forces of the business alliance at any time. Those guys in the Autonomous Committee clearly wanted the Rock Legion to continue to guard the four front fortress cities for them, so as to resist the armed forces of the Business Alliance.
Besides, why do you need three free corps to recover the Christopher Hills? The Commercial Alliance once divided the Christopher Hills into fifty-two territories and conferred fifty-two nobles. But these canonized lords are not from the chamber of commerce, but those who are highly respected in the eyes of the residents of Morente City. For example, the deans of various colleges, retired civil servants who have served Morente City for more than half their lives, and famous scholars, experts and professors, great pharmacists and others.
It's just that most of these lords who were canonized by the business alliance didn't buy it. Except for a few lords who went to their own territories to work hard, many of them didn't even know where their territories were, and they were canonized by fire Documentary proof was given to burnt. Refuse to accept titles and territories conferred by the Business Alliance. They said that the villagers living in Christo Hills are suffering enough, how could they treat themselves as a lord to exploit them...
This is the current situation of Christopher Hills, and Lorist is no stranger to this place. When he was still a happy little mercenary in Morente City, he often received errand tasks to the Cristo Hills. In Lorist's view, the real reason for the poverty and poverty of the villagers living in the Krystal Hills is the inaction of the Business Alliance. The villagers of Riddow Hills have long been lifted out of poverty and become rich.
However, Lorist also knows that the prosperous business alliance back then could not raise a huge amount of funds to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in the Krystal Hills, and it is even more impossible for the business alliance led by the Chamber of Commerce to use Kingford to develop Krystal Hill. Ristorante Hills. I remember that just after the establishment of the Commercial Alliance, the army was dispatched to quell the mountain rebellion in the Christopher Hills. That war caused very heavy casualties to the seven giants of the Commercial Alliance.
Therefore, the major chambers of commerce did not have a good impression of the Christopher Hills. Even after more than a hundred years, they still regarded the Christopher Hills as a barren place. When they were criticized by those famous people in Morente City for their unwillingness to develop the Cristo Hills policy, the seven giants of the Business Alliance simply conferred the Crister Hills to those who shouted the loudest. You have the ability! Go develop it yourself!
According to Tager's investigation, it is very simple to regain the Cristo Hills, just send any corps to go there. Because there is no defensive force in the Christo hilly area. There are no decent territorial castles there, and the mountain people living in the hilly area are still used to living together in villages. But the real difficulty is that after the recovery, one is to send legions to garrison, and the other is that there is still a big package in the Christopher Hills, which is Elba who was completely burned by the lightning strike fleet led by Admiral Sambawood of the North Sea Fleet. Sydney Harbor.
This is a seaport city located at the junction of the Krystal Hills and the Titanini Mountains. It is also the only city in the Krystal Hills. It is a major traffic city connecting the mountains and the sea. It is said that 50,000 to 60,000 refugees gathered there after being burnt down by Semba Wood, who made a living by collecting wild fruits, picking up seafood by the sea and fishing.
Lorist found out tragically that if he agreed to recover the Cristo Hills, it would be another big hole, and he might have to shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding Albany Port. However, the reasons for the application report submitted by the Morente City Autonomous Committee are also fair and aboveboard. The Cristo Hills are related to the fuel, meat, coarse grains and production raw materials of Morente City, which are important sources of people's livelihood. It cannot but be included in the Freedom Alliance within its jurisdiction.
Now the relationship between the Norton family and the Morente City Autonomous Committee is very delicate. The two sides rely on each other and use each other. The Norton family has invested a huge amount of money in Morente City and naturally wants to get something in return. The most important dumping and transshipment wholesale base for commodities and goods produced in the family territory, so Lorist is unwilling to arouse the resistance of millions of urban residents in Morente City. He needs the cooperation of the self-government committee to help him maintain Moren The commercial order of the special city, and become the enemy of the commercial alliance.
The Morente City Autonomous Committee regards the Norton family's armed forces as a guarantee against the armed invasion of the Commercial Alliance. They also do not want Morente City to fall under the rule of the Chamber of Commerce of the Commercial Alliance again. It was a dark day. On this point, the goals of the Autonomous Committee and Lorist are the same, and they are also willing to independently establish a free alliance. But under this major premise, it also includes their selfish desire to preserve their armed forces and use the Norton family's armed forces as a shield.
After much deliberation, Lorist finally made up his mind and informed the Morente City Autonomy Committee tomorrow that the original plan of six free corps to take over the six fortress cities on the Faliqiu Plain remains unchanged. Lorist needs to withdraw the Rock Legion before sending it back to the family territory. After all, the four main armies of the family cannot all stay here, and one of them has to go back to look after the home.
Morente City is guarded by El's guards. El was born in the community organization of Morente City and is the boss of Ledos. It is easier for him to communicate with the self-government committee. The Hunting Cavalry Legion is still responsible for patrolling and guarding the Mana Hill Plain. As for recovering the Christopher Hills, let Tiger Ross lead the Flying Tiger Legion to go there. I believe the Morente City Autonomous Committee has nothing to say about such an arrangement.
On November 21, 1779, the general calendar of the Galintia continent, the Norton family armed forces dispatched the Flying Tiger Legion to occupy the Cristo Hills before winter, but the Business Alliance still did not respond to this.
