Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Two

His Majesty King Christon Iberia's hands holding the letter paper were frizzy, and the whole person trembled with anger.

As the second prince of the former Christian Empire and the king of the Iberian Kingdom, he believes he has been insulted like never before. He never dreamed that the new head of the Norton family wrote two words in the reply to him: Gun thick.

For the Norton family, the second prince has already spent a lot of effort to gather information. When sending troops to the Principality of Madras, I heard a rumor that the Norton family in the Northland had a large motorcade to help the Second Highness of the Antinac Kingdom win the power, stabilize the kingdom, and assist the Second Highness. Conquered the Fortress of Rechindana in the Principality of Madras and swept through the province of Yunkasandra.

The second prince laughed at this rumor, is it possible? Although the Norton family is known as the roaring bear in the Northland, the young lord who wants to inherit the family business, the golden knight Aberid, fell after his death on the battlefield under his command, and even was newly named as a business family of the domain noble. The Kenmes family is all fighting. Since there is no use value, the second prince ignores the disputes between the aristocrats of these territories in the North. Even in order to win over the second Prince Luckins in the North, he even made his own way and took all of the North. The jurisdiction of the nobles in the territory was transferred to the Grand Duke of the North.

However, only after the second prince occupied Kebo City did he obtain precise information from the refugees abandoned by the motorcade in the city. The Norton family did have a large motorcade with more than 10,000 carriages, and threatened nearly 100,000 refugees northward. It was only after the second prince sent troops to chase him that he discovered that the Norton family's convoy had already crossed the Mitoba River, and the chasing soldiers could only look at the river and sigh.

Next, the second prince was busy searching for the private wealth of the nobles in the Dremque province of the Principality of Madras, and convicted them of fornicating the Antinac Kingdom and rebelling against the Iberian Kingdom’s support army, and hanged them around. Sweep down the private armies of the nobles. Until the defeat of Kebo City, he left the Norton family's northbound motorcade behind.

This time it sent troops to the Principality of Madras. In terms of harvest, it was a huge amount of money. Not only did he write off the huge debts of the Grand Duke Madras, but also the large amounts of money he sacked from the nobles of the Dremque province. Grain, grass and materials have filled the empty treasury, which can be said to be a big deal.

The Battle of Kebo City failed. The second prince had no choice but to withdraw his troops from the Principality of Madras. He experienced two major defeats in the "Dawn Attack" and the "Battle of Kerbo". The second prince lost more than 50,000 soldiers. Although most of them were private armies of the nobles under his command, the three border regiments supported by the second prince's father-in-law, Grand Duke Fei Sablon, also lost more than 20,000 men. This is the most heartbreaking for the second prince.

In troubled times, the military power is supreme, and the second prince understands this truth deeply. He planned to use this seizure to form a directly governed kingdom legion. One is to stabilize his throne, and the other is to lay the foundation for the next dispatch. It’s just that the second prince couldn’t think of a place in the kingdom where he could form an army and train troops with peace of mind...

When the Iberian Kingdom was established, its territory was the five provinces of the former Christian Empire, of which the Northland Province accounted for half of the area of ​​the Iberian Kingdom and was self-contained. In addition to suppressing the Grand Duke of the North and not allowing him to establish a principality from the kingdom's territory, the second prince has always had no good way to bring the North into his own control.

As for the Eastern Desolation Province and Muyeyuan Province, which are close to the northeastern prairie, they are the private land of the second prince’s father-in-law, Grand Duke Fei Sablon, and the foundation of his border army. The second prince will not fight this unless he is crazy. Ideas for two provinces.

So what remains of the Iberian Kingdom is the Southern Province and Winston Province where the current capital of Windbury is located. It's just that the southern province has just been beaten up by the Grand Duke of Meyrin and the Gale regiment, and if the second prince puts the newly formed Kingdom Corps here for training, it is very likely that the Grand Duke Meyrin will have the idea of ​​starting to play first. The second prince didn't want to let Grand Duke Meyrin hit the royal capital again.

When the second prince founded the country, in order to save face, he changed the southern province into three southern counties. The larger Winston Province was transformed into the four capitals of the four counties. In order to collect military expenses and maintain his luxurious life, he sold the territories directly under his own jurisdiction at a high price, and now he wants to find a place to train soldiers. Not.

Just as the second prince was struggling to plan for the next step in melancholy, a search force serving as the forward of the troops sent him several merchants. From the mouths of these businessmen, the second prince heard the news of the Norton family northbound convoy again. They defeated the Allied forces of the Northland Lords headed by the Duke of the Northland Lord Luckins, and won a great victory. And in order to retaliate against the Grand Duke of the North, they also robbed the Grand Duchy in the elite southern part of the North, and removed all the people from the Grand Duchy of the North. Now the dragons in the north have no owner. Is in a state of runaway.

This is really a big pie falling from the sky, the second prince made a decisive decision. The soldiers sent the Hengdeli Fu Cable Bridge, as expected, occupied two strategic fortresses without any effort. Then he occupied the city of Gildusk, the capital of the Grand Duchy, and saw Duke Lukins who was unconscious from vomiting blood.

The second prince waved his hand, and Duke Lukins left the Northland in the name of the king's capital Windbury, which was more suitable for recuperation. Whether he could return to the Northland in his lifetime was already tacitly understood by everyone.

After taking over the mess left by the Grand Duke of the North, the second prince discovered how thoroughly the Southern Grand Duke in the so-called Essence of the Northland was destroyed. He could not find a blacksmith, a servant, and more in the capital of the Grand Duke. Not to mention the villages outside the city that were burned to white ground.

At this moment, the second prince received another report that when his 2,500-man Border Guardsmen joined nearly 3,000 private noble soldiers to rob the seemingly intact town of Evanson, they were attacked nearby. The attack on the remnants of the Northland Army in the Sakura Ridge Manor caused heavy damage and more than 2,000 people were killed.

Unreasonably, the second prince immediately set up a large army to go out. Unexpectedly, the remnants of the so-called Northland Legion pulled out more than 10,000 people. Everyone rode on horses. They were dressed in iron armor. The first was two golden knights. , The Henneide Knight, one of the Golden Knights of the Grand Duke of the North, and the second one, the Tabek Golden Knight. As the five famous knights of the Golden Family under the Grand Duke of the North, they are no strangers to the second prince, and they are even called old acquaintances.

Look at the chaotic array of subordinates. Looking at the murderousness on the opposite side, the second prince knew that if he fought, he would never ask for anything. So he rode out alone and talked to each other. Only then did he know that the original Henned Knight had inherited his father's domain and the baron's title, and now the Grand Duchy’s Sakura Ridge Manor Castle and Evanson Town are already the domain of the Shahin family. Even Tabek has become a family knight of Henned.

The second prince had no choice but to apologize for his ignorance and offending the Shaheen family territory, and explained that because of Duke Lukins’ illness, he has now taken over the Duke’s territory and sincerely invited the Henned Knight to join him. great cause.

The Knight of Henneide, who has become Baron Shaheen, gave the second prince a lot of face. He accepted the apology from the second prince, saying that he is not guilty of knowing that he is not guilty. It's just that as a vassal family of the Northland Grand Duke, he wouldn't be able to agree to the second prince's invitation without the Grand Duke's approval. After all, Duke Lukins was so kind to him that he entrusted the Northland Legion to him when he was in danger. Not only allowed him to inherit the position of baron, but also made the Tabek knight his family knight, so his loyalty to Duke Lukins is just around the corner. However, if the Lord Duke personally told him that he would put him under the second prince, then he promised not to say anything and would serve the second prince to death...

After suffering a depressed loss, and then a soft nail, the second prince withdrew his troops back to the city depressed. The only gain was when he curiously asked the Henned Knight, where did the armor of his soldiers come from? The Henneide Knight told him that it was bought from the Norton family.

So the second prince spent a lot of energy to inquire and collect information about the Norton family. When a steady stream of gossips and rumors gathered in front of the second prince, he finally sorted out relatively reliable information.

It turns out that now the Norton family is in charge of the second young master who was exiled by the family for ten years and left the family at the age of fourteen. Learned a good skill with bare hands outside. Although the strength of fighting spirit was only black iron, he once folded the golden knight of Northland Grand Duke Tabek with his subordinates, and let him lie in bed for a year.

With an arrogant heart, he took the initiative to start a war with the Kenmes family just after he took over the family territory, set fire to the Red River Valley Manor Castle of Viscount Kenmes, and built a rock castle in the Morgen Hills. Rejecting the blackmail of the Northland Grand Duke, annihilated the 4,000 troops sent by the Northland Grand Duke to conquer the Norton family, and sent troops to attack. He hanged Baron Farrard, who used to lead the horse for the second prince, on charges of hurting the Norton family's messenger...

It is said that the second young master of the Norton family made a fortune during his exile. After receiving the news that the family asked him to return to inherit the title and the family territory, he organized a convoy to go northward, and there were many golden-rank family knights under him. The most famous is a golden archer who returned to the family territory with the second young master. During his stay in Rock Castle, the coalition of the northern lords organized by the Duke of Luckins was unable to attack for a long time, and finally waited for the Norton family north. The convoy arrived and even suffered a big defeat.

After understanding the general information about the Norton family, the second prince only understood three points. The first point is that the Norton family is very wealthy. The wealth they robbed from the Grand Duke alone exceeds one million golden fortunes, not to mention that the paper went north. The caravan, with nearly 20,000 carriages, is said to carry countless iron armors. Henneide said that the iron armors of 10,000 under his command were less than one-tenth of the total number of Norton family armors.

The second point is that the Norton family’s armed forces are very powerful, with an estimated number of forty-five thousand people, and its weapons and equipment are more complete and advanced than the second prince’s Iberian King and the Border Army. At present, the second prince can only make friends in the Northland instead of offending the Norton family.

The third point, and the point that the second prince finds most ridiculous, is that the new Patriarch of the Norton family, the second young master is a short-sighted, unambitious, and turtle-like guardian dog. As long as anyone has the current financial resources and military power of the Norton family as capital, as long as a little bit of ambition, then the Northland has long been a delicious meal in his plate. Instead of defeating the Grand Duke of the Northland and robbing the Grand Duke, like the new head of the Norton family, he took the captive proceeds and retracted his head back to the family territory.

Looking at the map of the Norton family territory in the north, and the rock castle on the Morgen hills that separates the family territory from the outside world, the second prince thought it was too funny. The famous roaring bear in the north has changed. Became a tortoise with a head in the north. Although the territory is large but extremely desolate, it seems that the Norton family has moved so many people from the Grand Duke to prepare to retreat and develop the territory.

From the perspective of the second prince, he has to thank the new head of the unambitious Norton family. If it hadn't been for him to give the Grand Duke of Northland a salary draw, the second prince would not have taken over the Grand Duke so smoothly. The second prince doesn’t care if the people are gone. The land-lost peasants and war refugees abound in the seven counties he ruled in the Iberian Kingdom. The second prince has ordered the nobles of his territory to take these people to the Grand Duke of the North, where there is ready farmland for them to cultivate. As long as the second prince be more patient. When these farmers and refugees settle down, the princes of the north will be able to provide him with a steady stream of manpower and material resources.

Occupying the Grand Duchy not only eliminated Duke Luckins’s greatest concern to separate the North from the Iberian Kingdom as a duchy, but also provided the second prince with a place to train soldiers and collect wealth. The second prince is full of ambition. He must truly control the entire Northland, tie all the territorial nobles in the Northland to the chariot he commanded, and shed blood and sweat for his world hegemony...

Moreover, the second prince has time now, and he does not fight the day. Everything is going slowly. The second prince did not intend to let go of the Norton family that he can't afford yet. You must know that the former Northland Grand Duke was also a dog that guarded the house, but he was still playing with the palm of his hand by the second prince. The second prince was very excited. Since the new head of the Norton family is also a dog that only guards the house, he has experience to deal with him. Compared to the Duke of the North, it is obvious that the fledgling little guy is easier to pass.

The letter to the new Patriarch of Norton, Prince Xinji, was deliberate, and even the three conditions were a temptation. The first condition requires the surrender of the 300,000 Golden Ford's belongings in the public and private treasury of the Northland. The purpose is very simple. It is to make the Norton family feel that his robbery of the Northland Grandmaster becomes a legal act. Approved retaliation. He robbed millions of dollars, but the second prince only needed 300,000 of them, which would make the Norton family feel that it was a big advantage. As long as you hand in 300,000, you will not be held accountable for all the people who have moved the Grand Duke. I believe that the Norton family will be happy to send 300,000 Golden Ford to the second prince...

The second requirement is for the new lord of the Norton family who is like a dog to keep the house, let this new lord swear allegiance in front of the second prince, and promote the nobility of the Norton family. This is both a temptation and a trap. Some of the prince is at the mercy of him. What's the point of having more golden knights, like Duke Luckins. One of the reasons why he did not dare to become a duchy in the Northland was that his five golden knights were repeatedly suppressed by the two great swordsmen next to the second prince...

The third requirement is for the Norton family to dispatch two regiments to pacify the Northland for the second prince. This is actually to test the Norton family's ambitions again. After all, the second prince with such powerful arms shrank in the family territory was not at ease sleeping. If you agree to this request, it means that the Norton family has sincerely obeyed the second prince. At that time, you can consider how to cut meat from the Norton family and have a big meal...

From remembering the elder of the Norton family who died bravely on the battlefield for himself, to making three demands~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The second prince felt that the letter he wrote was justified and touching, and dreamed of the Norton family. The new heads of the elders worshipped in front of them, allowing themselves to seize the Norton family. The population and forces, weapons and equipment, materials and properties, etc. are endless, rolling in...

The second prince laughed out loud in his dreams...

But what happened to this letter? There are only two words on the paper-thick.

There is no phrase "Gun thick" in the vocabulary of the Gaelintya common language, and no one has ever combined the words "Gun" and "Gun". This is not to get out, nor to get out, but the two princes are grouped together, but the second prince realizes that there is a strong malice in it, with contempt and sarcasm, as if being slapped twice in the face...

The second prince slowly folded the reply on his hand. As a superior, the city still had a sense of calmness. After sending the Viscount Sindson to deliver the letter, the second prince gritted his teeth with his reply. Just give him time and let him If he finds a chance, then he will surely let the Norton family be overwhelmed. When that happens, he will let the newly headed kid swallow this reply alive. No one has ever insulted the second prince who has been in a high position since he was a child. He will remember two words firmly... (To be continued.)
