Calamity Crown

There is no railway from Hallest, the capital of the North, to Svetlaland.

In fact, there is only one railway in the whole of the North, and that is the one from Outer Land to Hallest.

It's not that I don't want to.

But can't afford it.

The long winter in the northern border determines that the construction period is short every year, and only summer can be chosen, and if a large number of laborers serve in summer, it will cause food shortages. When the only railway was built, Scrooge K. The Grand Duke was well prepared, but something almost went wrong.

"The guys from Tesin's royal family are really pervasive."

"At that time, in order to cooperate with those grain merchants to drive up grain prices, they even set fire to Hallest's granary."

"Fortunately, my father made arrangements in advance. There are only straws in the granary, and the real grain has been transferred long ago. Then when these guys kept raising the price of grain, my father sold some of the grain to them. When the grain price reached its peak , my father directly opened the warehouse to release the grain - in the end we calculated, not only did not lose money, but also made a fortune."

Gejill, who was riding on a war horse, said lightly.

However, Goethe could already feel the thrill of it.

It seems simple, but in fact, if any one step goes wrong, the entire northern border will fall into chaos.

just like……

now!

cry!

A cry of an eagle!

A letter eagle fell from the sky and landed directly on Gejir's raised arm.

The grand duke's third son took down the letter and read it, and handed it directly to Goethe.

It says--

The leader of the rebellion, Enos, announced the disloyalty of thousands of people in the two mines to her father, and planned to execute all of these more than a thousand workers and miners at sunrise tomorrow.

Seeing the latest news brought by Xinying, Goethe frowned.

Although I don't understand the military formation, what does the other party want to do?

Goethe knew it.

According to the content of the letter, it is not difficult to guess!

The other party announced the execution of thousands of people so openly, just to attract the attention of their support soldiers to those two mines, and then the other party will seize the opportunity to seek the largest town in Svetla's territory 'Snow Ridge City' !

In the conversation with Gejir just now, Goethe already knew that, unlike the second largest city 'Xueyuan City' built on the plain, 'Snow Ridge City' was built on top of mountains.

Not only is it easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also has sufficient reserves. As long as the opponent occupies Xueling City, it can completely form a tug-of-war with the Ke family.

Even, completely dragging the Ke family into the quagmire!

You must know that the Ke family is now fighting on all sides!

border!

Bear Castle!

Hallest!

Svetla collar!

Except for the absolute advantage of Hallest Battlefield, the capital of the northern border, Svetla Territory only has a slight advantage, and the remaining two places are not dominant, especially the 'Border Battlefield', which is in an absolute position. downwind.

Once there is a "decline" in any of the three places of Bear Castle, Svetla Land, and Hallest, then a chain reaction may occur in the "border battlefield": defeat.

Goethe licked his parched lips.

At this moment, he couldn't take care of the border, Bear Castle and Hallest.

All he can do now is to quell the rebellion in Svetla Territory as quickly as possible.

"Is there any news about 'Xueyuan City'?"

Goethe asked.

"No."

"Enos completely blocked the news of 'Xueyuan City'."

"This woman is as bold as ever!"

Gejir evaluated the other party with a cold look in his eyes.

Goethe frowned.

Goethe was very curious about how Enos occupied the 'Snowfield City'.

Although 'Snowfield City' is just a small town with less than half of Luster's population, there are all the soldiers and militias that should be there, and there are also two extraordinary people stationed there. It may be that there is no news at all.

unless……

The opponent took control of the 'Xueyuan City' in an instant.

But this is impossible!

Even with the help of Tesin's royal family, in order not to be discovered by the northern border, the other party cannot have too many people. The most likely is a small number of elites, a certain number of soldiers, and a smaller number of extraordinary people.

With these people alone, they can launch a surprise attack on the 'Xueyuan City', and relying on the superiority of the extraordinary, it is no problem to take down the 'Xueyuan City' by surprise, but it is impossible to block the entire 'Xueyuan City'.

Throw away this impossibility.

There is only one answer left.

The inside should be combined with the outside!

There is an internal response from the opponent in the 'Snowfield City'!

Thinking of this, Goethe looked at Gergil.

The third son of the Grand Duke also happened to cast his gaze.

"The consuls, tax officials, and sheriffs of 'Snowfield City' are all the most loyal veterans under my father's command. They have served for more than 20 years. They were sent to assist in governance after Svetla became the direct leader of the Ke family. .”

"The two resident Transcendents are selected from the guards - Father's guards were all cultivated from childhood, and it is even more impossible for them to betray."

"So, there is only one left..."

"Kendi Erce!"

Gergil uttered a name that was unfamiliar to Goethe.

"Kendi Erce, the guardian knight of Enos's family, is a noble and loyal gentleman. After the accident of engagement, this guardian knight is willing to use his life to make up for the humiliation suffered by the Ke family. I beg my father to let Enos go."

"Even though my lord father said no and was willing to forgive Enos for her deceit, the guardian knight cut off an arm as an apology."

"After that, following the disappearance of Enos, this guardian knight lived in the 'Xueyuan City', shutting himself out."

"If Enos cooperates internally and externally, this guardian knight is the first choice-with the reputation of the other party, he can gather a group of Bosvetla veterans in the 'Snowfield City' in the shortest time, and..."

"He is a 'swordsman'."

The third son of the Grand Duke emphasized.

"Swordsman?"

"Three baptisms?"

Goethe reacted instantly.

Gergil nodded.

"Although he broke his own arm, the strength of this guardian knight is beyond doubt!"

The face of the eldest son became serious.

Still, just seriousness, but no fear.

A transcendent who has completed three baptisms is powerful.

This is a fact!

But Enos has a transcendent who has been baptized three times, how could he, the third son of the Ke family, not have one?

Moreover, there are still two escorts, hiding in the team!

Therefore, facing a 'swordsman' with a broken arm, Gejir will be cautious but not afraid.

What the third son of the Ke family really cares about is: the royal family of Tesin!

What kind of help did the Tesin royal family give Enos!

Or……

How helpful this is!

"Let's split up. Goethe, you and your friends led 1,000 cavalry to the two mines to rescue the miners. After that, stay where you are and wait for news. Art will follow you, and the rest?"

"Leave it to me!"

Gergil suggested.

Although he did not elaborate on how to do it, there is no doubt that the third son of the Grand Duke left the most dangerous task to himself.

As for the rescue of miners in the mine?

With 1,000 elite cavalry, it is really a devastating battle.

And Art?

This is an accompanying 'soldier', one of the eleven sub-captains of the Grand Duke's Guard.

Apart from Yate, there is also a lady named Silin who is another sub-captain of the Grand Duke's Guard.

Gegil told Goethe this when he set off.

"Your plan?"

Goethe asked.

"It's very simple, since that guy Enos blocked the entire 'Xueyuan City' and didn't want us to know what happened in 'Xueyuan City', then we also let the other party not know our whereabouts - after the division of troops, you will The news of going to save the mine will be known by the other party soon, but I will take the rest of the cavalry to hide and sneak..."

"Snowfield City!"

Gajeel lowered his voice.

Before Goethe continued to ask, the third son of the Grand Duke continued.

"You don't know this brave guy. Enos's every plan is extremely risky. She now shows that she is going to Xueling City, but I can guarantee that this guy must be Xueyuan City, Xueling City All!"

"So, we have to prepare with both hands. I will let Xinying report to Xueling City, and I will go to Xueyuan City myself-remember Goethe, the mine is not absolutely safe. Be careful!"

After exhorting, the third son of the Grand Duke looked at Goethe and showed a smile.

It was an intimate, caring smile.

He said—

"Don't fight with me, this is the danger you must bear as a brother—huh, it's so cool to finally say this sentence!"

"Goethe, do you know how unwilling I am every time Simlei and Emmlai take risks for me in the name of my brother!"

"Now!"

"Finally it's my turn!"

Happiness appeared on Gejir's young face.

The third son of the Ke family just sat on the horseback and hugged Goethe, and said in a very low voice that only Goethe could hear: "Remember, compared to the thousand people in the mine , Goethe, you are more important, understand?"

"Um."

After Goethe gave an affirmative answer, Gegil patted Goethe's back hard and let go of Goethe.

Then, just divide the troops like this, and prepare to leave with 1,000 cavalry.

But at this moment, Goethe suddenly stopped Gejir.

"A man from the Ke family doesn't know how to cry!"

"You won't shed tears, will you?"

Gergil teased Goethe.

"certainly."

"I just think……"

"Borrow money."

Goethe said so.

Gejill was taken aback.

"Borrow money?"

"Well, lend me 2000 gold grams."

"I'll pay you back later with interest."

Goethe said seriously.

"without……"

"Brother, please lend me 2000 gold grams."

Gejir immediately shook his head and refused, but before he finished speaking, Goethe said in a more serious tone. Suddenly, Gejir's words were interrupted, but the third son of the Grand Duke did not feel any regrets.

On the contrary, it was the first time that someone other than Nina addressed him as elder brother, and Gejir became ecstatic.

It was an indescribable joy.

next moment--

"Leave it to me!"

Gergil said so.

Of course, the three sons of the Grand Duke who went to the expedition could not afford 2,000 gold grams, but don't forget that they still have a 2,000-man cavalry at this moment.

About 10 minutes later, Jinke, Yinsuo and Tongjiao packed a big bag and placed it in front of Goethe.

"A total of 2,000 gold grams. Goethe, you don't have to pay it back. As your elder brother, I still have this money."

Gejir's chest slapped loudly.

"Well, thank you, Gagil."

Goethe nodded his thanks.

"No, Goethe, shouldn't you call me elder brother?"

Gergil was stunned.

Why did he cancel Goethe's debts, isn't it just to make Goethe call him "brother" a few more times?

But now—

"Yeah, got it, Gajeel."

Goethe picked up the bag as soon as he finished speaking, turned around and disappeared into Gejill's sight with his men and horses.

call!

The wind blows.

Gejill felt inexplicably bleak.

Inexplicably, the third son of the Grand Duke felt a little pain in his flesh.

Goethe, who was away, had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Definitely not because of the extra 2000 gold grams.

Well, absolutely not!

He was just happy because he had an extra hole card.

Similarly, this also made him dare to do something bold.

To support the mine and rescue the miners, of course we still have to do it.

but……

It's his way!
