King’s Kingdom

The chaotic political situation of the Northern Empire was handed over to Theodosius ten days after the change of the throne.

There is no way. The communication in this world is all transmitted by horses. There is a straight-line distance of more than 400 kilometers from the capital of the Northern Empire to New Lanyin City, and the speed of more than 40 kilometers per day is close to the limit.

This world does not have a post system to transmit military information, and even if there is, it is impossible for the intelligence personnel buried in the Lanyin Kingdom to use it.

They could only rely on three horses to ride in turns, and head towards New Lanyin City at the fastest speed while ensuring that the horses would not be abolished.

When Theodosius received the news, he was naturally very shocked. Of course, he didn't believe that he died of abuse. Skrein II was in the Kingdom of Lanine very well, and the cost of food and clothing was not small. In addition to being a little embarrassed in front of Theodosius, he also received enough respect.

It can be said that he has no rights, and his life in the Lanyin Kingdom is similar to that of the Northern Empire. Now you say that he died of abuse, isn't that nonsense?

Theodosius' face became solemn. Now the cause of Skrein II's death is a mystery. Except for a very few people, no one knows how he died.

In addition, the external statement of the Northern Imperial Court is also worth pondering. They completely poured dirty water on Theodosius. The meaning of this is naturally self-evident.

It is conceivable that the Northern Empire at this time must be full of excitement. Although Skrin II's prestige was greatly diminished due to his defeat and capture, the monarch often represents the dignity of a country.

The fact that his own monarch was abused to death by the empire means that the dignity of the country has been trampled on. This will be a very dangerous diplomatic signal.

Even if many people don't believe this reason, or it is not because of this reason that Skrein II died, but since such a statement is released, corresponding measures will definitely be taken.

"It seems..." Theodosius narrowed his eyes and said to himself, "We have to prepare for battle!"

How long has it been peacefully?

Theodosius was not in a good mood. The entire Lanyin Kingdom had just stopped fighting for nearly two years. Although the production had not suffered much damage, in fact, the high-end combat power had not been strengthened.

Now the soldiers in his army are still from the seven northern counties, and less than two years are not enough for the residents of the southern 12 counties to become qualified reserve soldiers.

If they were recruited, it would take at least two years of training to have a certain combat effectiveness. At the same time, because of the difference in fighting will and physical hardware, they would definitely not be as good as the soldiers in Beiqi County.

Of course, if some requirements are relaxed, the war potential of the Lanyin Kingdom will be great, but Theodosius is a person who pursues quality. If the situation is not urgent enough, he will not recruit the Southern Twelve Counties in a short time. residents.

Of course, after a while, they will be able to reach the level of soldiers in Beiqi County, but not now.

At this time, after nearly two years of recuperation in Beiqi County, the number of residents of the right age to join the army has increased from 3,200 to 3,800.

There are more than 500 people! It's a lot!

The population of the seven northern counties is only over 200,000. There are not many young people who can grow into young people in a year or two. There are only a mere 500 people. This is why Theodosius is reluctant to fight again.

A total of 12,000 troops, plus the two wars, add up to 3,000 troops. It can be said that the vast majority of men between the ages of 18 and 40 in the entire Lanyin Kingdom are in the army. .

If it were not for the twelve southern counties to be ruled, the ratio of troops to civilians in the Lanyin Kingdom would be very dangerous. Nearly one-tenth of the people served in the army, and even the Lanyin Kingdom, which was highly military and respectful of the army, would find it difficult to bear it.

"Damn it!" Theodosius was very unhappy with the situation where the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind was blowing, which was beyond his control.

"Vico!" Theodosius said to Vico, who was reading on a set of desks and chairs at the entrance of the study: "Let me inform my courtiers to gather in the council chamber within an hour, I have important business Discuss with them!"

Dressed appropriately and checked his instrument, Theodosius walked towards the council chamber.

Pushing open the door, more than twenty of his courtiers have all arrived, chatting in a low voice.

"Everyone!" Theodosius walked in and sat on the throne, and said straight to the point: "The Emperor Skrein II of the Northern Empire died, and their court claimed that he died because of our abuse. I want to hear from you. idea!"

The council hall, which had been quiet because of Theodosius' arrival, became chaotic again, and everyone was expressing their dissatisfaction and worries.

"Your Majesty! This is simply a blatant slander! The **** Northern Empire is ruining our reputation. If we don't respond to it, we will have this notoriety!"

Earl Camota took the lead to stand up to express his position. His performance in the two wars was very good. Coupled with the mistakes of his opponent, Earl Spencer, this greatly increased his status in the court of the Rhine Kingdom.

"That's right, Your Majesty, we have to give a tough answer, otherwise they will think that we are weak and can be bullied!" Mi Gang Devin, a moderate-tempered middle-aged general, also stood up to express his attitude~www.wuxiaspot.com~ war! They need blood to understand their situation! "The Count of Camota said proudly. Theodosius led his army to two victories and made everyone full of confidence in their king.

The main thing is that, in addition to rewards and glory, they can get a lot of benefits in the war.

Moreover, there are many honorary titles in the Lanyin Kingdom. Among them, the highest-ranking palace chief has not yet been obtained, and they are all working hard for this title.

Just as the court of the Lanyin Kingdom was clamoring for war, in Silas County, in the south of the country, a black cloud was surging in the sky, the ground was roaring and howling, and the stench wafted far away with the wind. The birds were also startled and flew away.

A huge team quietly appeared in this area, and the ground suddenly turned a chilling purple-black color.

"Here, the Kingdom of Lanyin..." The voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, hoarse and unpleasant.

"That's right, this is the Kingdom of Lanyin. It's a pity that the soil in the north is too difficult to contaminate. Anyway, our purpose is just to delay..." A clear female voice sounded, but there was a low mood in her voice.

"Very good, perform the master's task!"

At night, except for the cries of insects and the sounds of nocturnal creatures, it is particularly peaceful.

Tage Village has fallen silent. Everyone is recovering their strength through sleep, preparing for tomorrow's work. The day of the autumn harvest has come.

A big foot stepped on the ground, breaking the comfort here.

All I could hear was a terrifying scream that sounded abruptly, and then stopped abruptly. All the dogs in the village barked frantically, mixed with whining sounds, as if something extremely terrifying had appeared in front of them.
