Conquer the first year of the king's calendar. www.

There is no unified calendar in the entire Seer world. Wu Ming, who was deeply confused, the first thing he did after coming to power was to issue decrees, establish new calendars, unify measurements, etc.

This system of chronology is called the "New Calendar", starting from the last day of winter of the year when he became king, also known as the first year of the New Calendar.

In the first year of the New Calendar, at the call of the conquering King William Wallace I, the blue-blood nobles of the entire Wind Firefly Plain, as well as free people, mercenaries, and even wild people, began to retaliate against the previous invasion of the highlands. Fight back.

An army of nearly 20,000 people passed through Eagle Fort Death Canyon and marched into the highlands in a mighty manner.

Along with them, there are many solo adventurers, volunteer mercenary groups who want to obtain meritorious titles, and small businessmen who are just looking to make a fortune.

The blue torrent surged and surged, bringing terrible disasters to the highlands in one fell swoop.

In March of the first year of the New Calendar, the army of the King of Conqueror came to the Rock City in the east of the Highlands. The person guarding this place was Earl Kyle Wellington. He refused the surrender request of the King of Conqueror's envoy, declaring: 'Every inch of this place is... The land belongs to the highlanders, blue bloods, go back to the plains! ’

The envoy of King William the Conqueror was still polite: "Your actions will bring war, your people will betray you, cheer for my king, and put your head on a spear!"

The enraged Earl of Kele cut off one of the messenger's ears and set him free.

After receiving the news, the King of Conquerors immediately began to attack the city. With just one round of wooden cannon bombardment, several gaps suddenly appeared in the seemingly indestructible wall of Big Rock City. A large number of troops poured in from the gaps, and the entire Big Rock City suddenly began to riot.

Those people did not fight for Earl Kyle as their lord said. Instead, they chanted the slogan "Peace, not cannonballs!", rushed into the lord's room, and caught Earl Kyle who was caught off guard. Come out and offer it to the conquering king.

The seemingly indestructible city of stone surrendered to the conquering king in just one day.

At this point, the eastern border of the Highlands was opened wide, which was equivalent to the entire Highlands being opened to the conquering king's army.

Lord Kyle is known for his stubbornness, as stubborn as granite.

Even though he had completely failed and was tied before the conquering king, he held his head up proudly: "King of foreign invasion, you can hang me, or even cut off my head and stick it on a spear, but the Highlanders The resistance will never stop."

The conquering king smiled and shook his head. After cutting off Earl Kyle's two ears as punishment, he mercifully gave him two choices.

Either continue to cut off the head and put it in a gift box and send it to Lionheart City, or surrender, kneel before the great conquering king, choose to swear allegiance, and kiss the ground under his feet.

Earl Kyle was impassioned before, but when his ears were actually cut off, the bloody scene and severe pain immediately made him cry bitterly. He immediately knelt down and kissed the land in front of the conquering king, choosing to surrender.

For this reason, the conquering king generously retained Kyle's title, but reduced it to a baron, deprived him of his suzerainty over Stone City, and divided it among other heroes.

With the map from the Book of Sages, the King of Conqueror did not stop at all after occupying Boulder City. Except for leaving the necessary troops to guard the back roads and food routes, the army immediately rushed towards Lion Heart City.

He issued a decree that all nobles who surrendered before the arrival of the army could retain their original titles and fiefs, otherwise these rights would belong to the first person to defeat them.

As soon as this decree came out, coupled with the previous propaganda, many small nobles immediately expressed their surrender to the conquering king.

Of course, there were those who resisted resolutely, but before Wu Ming arrived, they were overthrown by their own retainers or mercenary groups. The original mud-legged people lived in the castles of the nobles and obtained their land, wealth, women... …living a life that was beyond our wildest dreams.

In order to maintain their current status, they must firmly support the Conquering King and win the battle of the Highlands!

The whole highland suddenly became a mess.

In this haze, the blue dragon flag slowly approached Lionheart City, the stronghold of the Wellington family and the ruling core of the entire Highlands.

…

In Lionheart City, in the meeting hall of the Wellington family, many well-dressed nobles could no longer maintain their own demeanor.

Their faces turned red, and they quarreled angrily, recounting their own misfortunes and sufferings, and angrily denouncing each other's inaction and stupidity.

There was a deep sense of fear in this mutual blame, which made the Duke of Wellington very helpless.

A few months ago, he still looked like a high-spirited middle-aged man, who might even become the king of the new principality. But now, his head is gray and there are many wrinkles on his forehead, and he clearly looks like he is dying.

It seemed that Arthur's capture and the subsequent bad news had dealt a serious blow to him.

"How many more of us are there?"

asked the Duke of Wellington in a low voice.

"We have summoned all the troops in the territory and urgently recruited all civilians over the age of sixteen to join the army. With the addition of mercenary groups and adventurers, there will be no problem in gathering 50,000 people!"

A fat noble stood up and said.

But even so, there wasn't much joy on their faces.

After all, most of these 50,000 people are just farmers, and there are not even 9,000 regular trained soldiers.

"Where are the reinforcements promised by the Celtic family, the Liszt family, and the Anle family?"

The Duke of Wellington frowned.

These families, who had been conquered by Arthur's army, recognized the Wellington family as their lords and patrons, and had the obligation to send troops to fight.

But as the bad news spread, those on the fence began to waver again.

But at this time when they needed to be resolutely suppressed, the Wellington family lost their absolute balance of force because of Arthur's defeat, and the conquering king's army was advancing step by step, making them unable to conquer the newly conquered land. More soldiers were added to maintain rule, but the elite troops had to be withdrawn.

As a result, the suppressed local faction suddenly began to raise its head.

After all, with the accumulation and heritage passed down by noble families for thousands of years, and the intricate network of local relationships, it is impossible to completely clean up all the people in the area unless all the people in the area are killed.

"them……"

The fat man was speechless immediately, and his expression immediately let the Duke of Wellington know the result.

"damn it!"

The Duke of Wellington slapped the conference table, and the whole air in the room seemed to shake: "I have decided that the current high ground alone cannot fight against the conquerors. We need reinforcements, reinforcements from Cape Storm!"

"Weilon, as the envoy, go to the Cape of Storms immediately, find their largest Storm Tribe chief, and tell him...as long as he comes to help me, I will give them the Ice City in the North!"

The Duke of Wellington closed his eyes in pain and said in a deep voice.

In the eyes of all the nobles in the Seer continent, although the Cape of Storms is vast and vast, it is synonymous with barbarism and barrenness. Not to mention the Fengying Plain, even compared with the highlands, it is also wild and backward, and the natural environment is extremely harsh.

In the past, just to deal with the barbarians' self-plundering every winter, the princes of the Highlands and Fengying Plains had to invest a large number of troops in their respective norths.

But now, the Duke of Wellington personally opened the northern border of the Highlands to them.

"Ice City has always been a bulwark against the invasion of Storm Warriors. Once Ice City changes hands, our highlands will be exposed to the swords of Storm Warriors at any time! I object!"

A noble from the Wellington family immediately stood up and asked loudly: "Duke Wellington, what do you want to do?"

"I just want to protect the family and keep our glory alive!"

The Duke of Wellington crossed his hands and put them on the table: "The Storm Warriors and the chiefs only need our food, iron tools, women, and salt... But from the Wind Fire Plains, that greedy evil dragon, asking for But it’s everything to us!”

Although he explained, he felt even more tired.

At this time of life and death, the internal fighting within the family was still continuing, which really disappointed him.

"William the Conqueror?"

After making a hasty decision and ending the family meeting, the Duke of Wellington returned to his study and murmured the name.

His hands began to tremble unconsciously, as if the name contained some magic power.

If the conqueror didn't have any magical powers, how could he defeat his invincible son who was protected by the sword of the king?

The Duke paced slowly in the study, and after a long time, he finally made up his mind.

He pursed his lips, walked to a bookshelf, took out a dusty book with a black cover, and opened it to the last page.

In the center of this page, there is an empty slot. In the center is a black card with purple mandala flowers blooming on it, giving it a mysterious flavor.

In the study, the doors and windows were closed, and the thick curtains were drawn, blocking out all light. The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, except for the light on the black card that became more dazzling.

"With my blood, I call my contractor to come!"

The Duke took out a golden dagger, cut his finger, and let the bright red blood drip onto the card. He recited a low call in his mouth, like a mysterious spell.

"Your Majesty the Duke!"

A cloud of purple mist gushes out from the card, and the mandala flower on it slowly blooms, and the coquettish light overflows. In the mist, a man in a cloak looms, bowing to the Duke: "After hearing the news about the King of Conqueror, Then I knew this day was coming! Everything is under the watchful eye of the Lord of Shadows!"

The Duke of Wellington looked at this magical scene, but his heart felt a little cold, and he immediately gritted his teeth: "I want William Wallace's life!"

"As you wish!"
