Kingdom of Anas.
The former Queen Minina, now Queen Laurie, is sitting on the seat in the study in a gorgeous long dress, opposite Archibald and Darnell.
She was reading a report with her red-stained fingers. After a while, she put it down and smiled at Archibald: "The main road in the king's city has been repaired, and this cement concrete road leads all the way to the port and other places. In the city, not only the traffic is convenient, but the sanitation in the city has also been greatly improved… ”
"Archie, Lord Desinia really deserves to be known as an alchemy genius."
Minina Laurie sighed: "Fortunately, you have a good relationship with Lord Desinia."
Archibald responded.
He was sitting by the window, the sunlight slanted in and shone on the golden hair as if it was dazzling with brilliance, and the pair of green eyes were extremely deep, although they were like fine jasper, they were more like a deep pool that light could not reach. .
Since his life experience was revealed and he succeeded in avenging his revenge, Archibald seemed to have stripped off his camouflage coat.
He is of orthodox blood, and should have been a respected royal aristocrat. The stewards of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce also changed from respect to awe, daring not to disobey any orders.
The kingdom of Anas is ostensibly Queen Laurie calling the shots.
But in fact, the influence of Archibald should not be underestimated. After all, he still has the blood of Cavendish, and the people who follow him also hope to establish the Cavendish royal family again, not…
Minina raised her hand to let the maid who was waiting beside her go out.
When only she, Archibald, and Darnell were left in the study, she said, "Archie, my aunt and I have a sweet word with you. Before, for revenge, you didn't have the heart to think about other things, but now that you are Everything has passed... Archie, now many noble ladies in the kingdom are proud to marry you."
Darnell received his aunt's eyes, and also looked at Archibald, coughing dryly: "Yeah, you see my son is eight years old now."
Archibald withdrew his gaze from the window and turned his head.
Mentioning the child, Minina's expression was gloomy, and she stroked her upper abdomen with her hand: "Archie, you know your aunt, aunt... It's impossible to have another child of your own in this life."
She had been pregnant.
But Puli nostalgic for his mistress outside, she was not discouraged, she fought for it, went crazy... but was pushed away by Puli vigorously and rolled down the stairs...
The child is gone.
And although she was lucky to survive, she lost her right to be a mother forever.
Archie is unwilling to become king and suppresses all dissenting voices. This is a temporary solution, but it cannot be forever. Therefore, the throne of Anas Kingdom must be succeeded by a child surnamed Cavendish after her. .
Darnell's face couldn't help showing apology: "Aunt, I'm sorry, I..."
Minina waved her hand indifferently: "I've already thought about it, Darnell, now I only live for myself."
Queen Laurie's straight body did not bend at all, just like her soul, which was broken into a butterfly and reborn.
She looked at Archibald again and said earnestly, "Archie, it's time for you to think about your own affairs and be responsible for this country."
"The daughter of the Duke of Lens is very good, beautiful and intelligent, and knows how to advance and retreat. My aunt wants to arrange for you to meet her. If you are not satisfied, Marquis Snell has two daughters..."
Minina said, thinking of Xia Zoe for some reason, she said: "Lord Desinia is about to come of age, maybe we can marry each other in exchange for the consolidation of the alliance."
Archibald, who had been listening patiently, suddenly frowned, and then said solemnly: "Auntie, the consolidation of the alliance does not require this method."
"I will meet the daughter of the Duke of Lance... But if she doesn't satisfy me, my aunt won't have to find me another woman after that."
The daughter of the Duke of Rens has the name of a lady in the kingdom of Anas. She is white and beautiful, like a beautiful pearl, and is highly sought after by the nobles.
The obvious perfunctory in Archibald's words made Minina sigh, but it was good to be able to persuade him to meet the Duke's daughter.
So Minina nodded and said, "It's up to you, Archie."
Compared with the construction of cement concrete pavement just laid in the Akiyayoli Territory and the Kingdom of Anas, the cement pavement project in the Desinia Territory has been carried out in many directions and has been laid to the border area of the territory.
Today, the craftsmen's guild in the territory is dominated by the craftsmen's association of Fort Komoy. The president is Conrad Brown, the genius engineer who was rejected and bullied in Nilamo, because Xia Zoe wanted to rebuild the five parts of the city. Only the annual plan call can give you the opportunity to show your talents.
His two sons, Darren and Deve, inherited Conrad's talent for engineering research and were able to stand by their father's side for many years.
Especially the eldest son, Darren, often leads an engineering team to run around outside all year round.
This time, it came to the border city of Desinia territory because of the problem of cement concrete road construction.
Because of the strength of the black and white cavalry in Desinia, few other small countries come to intrude and offend, but some small friction conflicts often occur once.
For example, because the border is the border between small countries, there are always places that are not taken into account, resulting in the flood of robbers and road looters, robbing and killing innocent civilian villages or slaves.
Therefore, Xia Zoe deliberately set up multiple checkpoints in the border area, and the cavalry team was stationed here.
Now the system in the cavalry team has been perfected. The number of soldiers has grown from nothing, from small to large... From class to regiment level, division level, the highest level is the commander level of Fernandi and Valk.
The two men, Dyna and Mike, and Tyler and Barna, served as the head of the regiment. The four of them came to the border city to garrison every three months, and Mike was garrisoned during the three months in the fall.
Before Darren led the engineering team to arrive, Mike was also leading a team of soldiers to deal with a robber looting caravan incident on the Abutine River.
The caravan came from Hurghada.
Hurghada has now become a vassal of the Akiyayoli Territory, and the Akiyayoli Territory and the Decinia Territory are allied, so the exchanges between the merchants have become more frequent.
In addition, Hurghada is adjacent to the territory of Desinia, which can be reached by boat and water, which is very convenient, and there are more cargo ships on the Aybutin River.
This also attracted some robbers to start the idea of looting goods.
Robbers only need boats.
There was no cavalry team stationed on the Aybutin River. They intercepted a passing ship, killed people and overtaken goods, and escaped before the cavalry team's ship arrived. There is no problem.
This gang of robbers has committed three crimes by plundering the river area, because the time between each crime is long, the clues disappear, and the river area is vast and the trail is hard to find, it is difficult to rush to the first arrest and execution.
It took Mike many deployments to determine the route that the robbers used to take on the Aybutin River, and then ordered the soldiers to disguise themselves as businessmen and board a cargo ship, and finally successfully set a trap to catch them.
The surface of the Aibutin River is calm and beautiful, reflecting the blue sky.
Mike cut off the head of the robber's leader neatly on the boat. The robber's fearful eyes lost their vigour, and the bright red blood slowly flowed on the deck.
The owner of the cargo ship sighed to the soldier who was disguised as his comrade: "This captain is really powerful. There is no need to say about his ingenuity and force. I thought I would have to endure for a long time. You must know that I met a robber on the Abutin River. Hijacking a ship is really luck to be watched by the devil..."
"Blessed by the God of Creation, everyone can finally feel at ease."
The merchant ship owner held a wooden plaque depicting the junction of light and darkness between the brilliant sun and the bright moon. He gestured to the sky for a while, and then whispered: "I don't know which noble family this captain is from..."
The soldier next to him pretending to be a buddy replied: "Our lord is not from a noble background. It is all due to our own efforts that the lord can be today, and it is the kindness of the lord!"
Respect and admiration for Mike appeared on the soldier's face.
The merchant ship owner was stunned for a moment, then reacted and exclaimed in a low voice: "Yes, is it the slave captain, no, I'm not insulting, uh... I look down on this captain, just because he is among the four captains. , only one was promoted from slave..."
Having said that, the merchant ship owner clutched his chest and smoothed his breath, saying such long words one after another that made him a little breathless.
After a pause, he continued with the nod of the soldier: "Desinia Territory is known as the territory with the fewest slaves, and it is also the place that all slaves yearn for the most."
"This captain is really famous among slaves!"
He really didn't expect that the head in front of him was Mike Andrew, who was admired by slaves.
Because of the difference in identities, the merchant ship owner is not qualified to ask the other party's name, he has always been called the captain, and he looks at the other party's self-cultivation skills, etc... It really doesn't look like a slave.
The merchant ship owner sighed again.
After solving the robber's matter, Mike rushed back to the city to meet Darren, who was sent by Xia Zuoyi himself.
"Hi, Mike." One person came out of the team, took off his helmet and smiled at Mike: "Haha I didn't expect me to come."
Mike was really surprised, and he smiled after being surprised. He stepped forward and hugged his friend: "Bana, why did you come here before three months?"
Bana raised his eyebrows at him: "The Lord will set off from the Abutine River to the Saint Airo Empire."
And they will prepare in advance for the safety of Lord Lord.
As an inland river, the Aibutin River flows through the Saint Air Empire, and the speed from the waterway is much faster than that of the land.
The late autumn is about to pass, and the cold winter is coming, which is the day when Xia Zoe set off for the Saint Airo Empire.
