Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 457: Lorist's Plan

The night was getting dark, but Lorist was not sleepy. He leaned on the couch under the grape shed alone, letting the silver-white moonlight sparsely scattered on his body through the lush grape branches and clusters of fruit...

Why are you not willing to send troops? Lorist asked himself, without him, for the safety of the Norton family's future. "Speaking from the heart, Lorist had to admit the talent and strategic vision of the Second Royal Highness. He saw it very accurately and grasped the timing very well. Taking advantage of the fact that the army of the business alliance is currently confined in the Great South, suddenly it moves towards the provinces of the former empire that the business alliance has taken over.

Before the signing of the Peaceful Armistice Agreement between the Qigeda Kingdom and the Eight-Power Allied Forces of Central and South Africa, the Commercial Alliance could not transfer its main force and elite army back from thousands of miles away, and could only swallow the bitter fruit. Under such circumstances, the business alliance cannot even fight against the Second Highness, otherwise the situation in Central and South Africa that has just stabilized will be revived. All the results and the price paid will be reduced to ashes. The only option it can choose is to fight with the Second Highness. discuss……

Regardless of how loud the voice of the Second Royal Highness to regain all the former imperial territory is so loud, in fact, he is not ready to regain the two provinces of the former Rulm Principality, which has taken the initiative to join the business alliance, in order to make his own raid. The war will not really anger the business alliance, desperately smashing with oneself to the end.

As Lorist said, the current business alliance is no longer the weak force that has been rubbed on the ground by the Christen Empire for more than a hundred years, but has truly developed into a large country in the Gellent Asia. And a powerful country. The Antinac Kingdom had already suffered a lot from the civil strife and flames of more than ten years. It inherited the orthodox royal status of the former Christian Empire, but did not inherit the strength of the former empire, and its strengths and weaknesses have long been reversed.

The reason why His Royal Highness wanted to start this raid war was to regain the lost territory while the Commercial Alliance was now ignoring the North. This was the only good opportunity. Once the business alliance stabilizes the situation in the central and southern part of the Big Six, the two Highnesses will no longer have the opportunity to retake the forcibly occupied provinces. On the contrary, they will face the strong persecution of the business alliance. At that time, he can only be in a defensive state, let alone dominate the territory of the former empire.

The prince Ridlis of the former Christian Empire, who was the first to initiate a rebellion and provoked the three kings to fight for the throne, which led to the empire’s seven-year civil war and finally split, and the provinces of Campona and Puerto Olga in the Kingdom of Ridlis established by him, The province of Andrówow has been taken over by the business alliance, especially the province of Podoorg, a major mineral province, has also become the territory of the Wissia Chamber of Commerce, one of the seven giants of the business alliance. The northwestern region of the former Kingdom of Ridlis has also become the territory of the so-called Principality of Zturam, which is clearly a vassal of the business alliance and acts as a buffer with the Kingdom of Antinac.

In addition to the two provinces of the former Duchy of Rulm that took the initiative to join the business alliance, the business alliance occupies five provinces and one region of the former Christian Empire. If the Second Royal Highness does not regain these territories, then he called the pre-renewal The ambitions of the Christen Empire cannot be realized. Therefore, the bottom line for the Second Royal Highness to initiate this raid war is to regain the provinces of Campona, Podoorg, Anderwów and the Northwest Territories.

Then, before the border between the two provinces of the former Duchy of Rulm, Chen Bing forced the commercial alliance to hold peaceful truce talks with it, and requested the commercial alliance to return to the two provinces of the Duchy of Rulm on the condition of reopening trade routes. In this way, the great cause of unification of the former Christian Empire was completed in the hands of the Second Highness, and he will also restore the royal family to the throne and become the emperor of the ZTE Empire...

A good abacus does not mean that the result will be wonderful. Lorester admitted that the raid war launched by the Second Highness would catch the business alliance by surprise, and the first strategic goal of regaining Campona, Puerto Olga and Andorra and the Southwest region can be easily achieved. However, Chen Bing’s original Rulm Principality’s two-provincial border forced the business alliance to negotiate peace with the two provinces. The idea of ​​returning the two provinces was taken for granted. Even if the Second Highness agreed to the business alliance to reopen the business route in the Andinac kingdom, it was impossible. It will make the business alliance bow to the Second Highness, and most likely the two countries will fall into a long confrontation war...

Lorist once persuaded the Second Highness that the high-end combat power of the Commercial Alliance was several times that of the Principality of Antinac. When the battlefield situation is backward, it is impossible for the Commercial Alliance not to send Storm Swordmaster to threaten the Kingdom of Antinac. It's just that the Second Highness believed that even the Storm Sword Saint could not blatantly come to assassinate his king, and he was in an army of hundreds of thousands, and his safety was guaranteed. Even if the Storm Sword Saint came, the army could be used to trap him to death. He didn't believe it, could a swordsman be able to stop his hundreds of thousands of troops?

The Duke of Kenmes was willing to send troops because of the promise of his Second Highness to make the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce the Royal Chamber of Commerce after completing the great cause of the unification of the empire. This will be the first chamber of commerce in the new Christian Empire, and the royal family will do it for it It is guaranteed that both in terms of taxation, opening a store and buying a home, they have great concessions and rights, so the Duke of Kenmax was moved.

Duke Philim was willing to send troops, and his Royal Highness also gave him very good preferential conditions, including immigration, financial assistance, tax relief and so on. But the most important thing is that Duke Philim was originally a knight. Defeating enemies on the battlefield and plundering wealth is a legitimate way for him to get rich. He was born a warrior who loves war.

Duke Shaheen is very similar to Duke Philim. They are also knights. For them, war is the most convenient way to capture wealth. And although Duke Shaheen became a duke, his territory in Dlemke province only has one earl. He eagerly hopes that he can monopolize a province as a family territory, not a nest, like the other three in the Northland. In Dremque, the territory under the jurisdiction of the Norton family, that made him feel like he was under the fence.

The second His Highness gave Duke Shaheen an affidavit. As long as Shaheen dispatches a family armed corps to help the Second His Highness complete the unification of the empire, then His Highness will set the province of Crebia, the province of mineral resources in the Kingdom of Antinac. Canonized him as a hereditary family territory. This is the province that Duke Shaheen most favored. When he set out to conquer the four principalities in the central part of the country, he asked for this province, but was rejected by the Second Highness for his inaction in the war. Now the Second Highness seduced him and took the affidavit to assure that Duke Shaxin forgot his resentment towards the Second Highness and the vow he did not want to serve for him, and obediently boarded the thief ship.

Perhaps the Second Highness hoped to let the three of the Northland four alliances board the ship and then let them persuade Lorist to work together, but Lorist refused them mercilessly. The Norton family has nothing to ask for now, and the next step is to establish a principality. And if you do that, you will ensure that your Royal Highness turns around first to deal with the Norton family. It wasn't that Lorester was afraid of the hundreds of thousands of his Royal Highness's army, but that he was unwilling to betray the name of rebellion, ruining the Norton family's nearly three hundred years of loyalty.

Grand Duke Frundo visited last night and he told Lorist that he also agreed to send troops. It’s very simple. His Royal Highness said that if the empire is unified, then he can bring the Ferrando family back to the original family territory of Perolina province. This is an irresistible temptation for the Lord Ferrando. For more than two hundred years The Frondo family lived and rested there, and built the summer palace. Even the family burial site is on the outskirts of Pedro City...

Grand Duke Frundo agreed to send troops to help the Second Highness. This decision disrupted the plan of the Norton family and Frundo family to unite the province of Kaiyungoshangdra. At the same time, the initial investment of the Norton family and the Forendo family have done nothing. Because if the Forando family returns to the original family territory, then the provincial capital of Yungosandra will be taken back directly under the jurisdiction of the second highness, and the continued investment in it will be to make wedding clothes for others, so that the second highness will take a big advantage.

Grand Duke Frondo apologized and proposed to shelve this plan first, because he didn't know whether the result of the raid war was good or bad. In order to return to the original family territory, he also desperately this time. Invested in all the family arms. However, if he fails to do what he wants, he will return to Yunga Chandra and pay a higher price to ask the Norton family to restart the investment plan...

Lorist expressed his understanding of Archduke Volendo's expectation to return to the original family territory, and agreed to temporarily shelve the plan to open Yungasandra Province until the end of the war. Grand Duke Frundo expressed his deep gratitude and told Lorist that the conditions for persuading Grand Duke Hansk to send troops were the same as him, and promised that after the reunification of the empire, he would also return to the province of Drama, the original family territory, and Grand Duke Hansk also He agreed.

In fact, the four grand princes in the central region, apart from the Sabaki family who are latecomers, the Forendo family, the Hansk family and the Fakel family are the first batch of territorial nobles who were canonized by the former empire’s founding emperor Christon I. In more than two hundred years, their family has made countless merits for the empire, and they have gradually been promoted from a small nobleman to a grand duke. Therefore, the attraction of the original family territory to them is self-evident. The second highness just tossed back and forth. The two grand princes were willing to work for him, which had to make Lorist admire his thoughtfulness.

As for the Grand Duke Sabaki, his family was transferred to the central part by Christen VI, and he did not have too much nostalgia for the original family territory. Besides, Chixes Province was affected by the four coalition forces of the Northland and the Fi Sablon family. He knows what the armed spoils are like, and he doesn't want to go back and clean up the mess. Therefore, His Royal Highness's promise to him was to grant Podoorg Province to him as a new family territory. Like Grand Duke Hansk, Grand Duke Sabagi, who was trapped in the barren territories of the southwestern provinces, immediately made a tie with His Royal Highness. The family armed corps was dispatched to participate in this war.

Except for the unknown conditions for the Fei Sablon family to send troops to participate in the war, the nobles of other territories have all agreed to participate in this war. Lorist did the math. If the six grand princes dispatched a family armed corps, they would add up to nearly two hundred and seventy-eight thousand men, plus the five hundred thousand horses under the second Royal Highness, it was nearly eight hundred thousand. If you add the soldiers and horses dispatched by the Fiesabrun family and the private armies of the nobles in the territory, it may exceed one million...

It's no wonder that His Royal Highness is so sure to force the Commercial Alliance to hold talks with him. Chen Bing million and the border, the Commercial Alliance might be really intimidated by the Second Highness, and promised all his requirements. However, if the business alliance chooses to confront the Second Highness, then the food and logistical materials accumulated by the Second Highness in the past three years can only guarantee the expenditure of the army of one million for two years. Failure to reach an agreement on a peaceful truce within two years, the great wave of the two Highnesses can only end in failure.

This is a magnificent era, and the forthcoming raid war against the business alliance by the Second Royal Highness will shock the entire Gailint Asia University like thunder. It is a pity that the Norton family cannot participate in it. This is not Lorester’s personal unfavorable anticipation of the outcome of the war, but he is convinced that once the Second His Royal Highness achieves the strategic goal of the business alliance and signs a peaceful armistice agreement to unify the former Christian Empire, then he will shrink back to the foreign minions. For the long-term stability of the empire, His Royal Highness will soon turn his attention to the Norton family, and he will not give up unless the influence of the Norton family is reduced to an acceptable level.

From the perspective of the family, Lorist didn't want the Second Royal Highness's war to be successful, because that represented the beginning of a confrontation between the Norton Family and the Second Royal Highness. But from a personal point of view, even if he complains about the disposition of His Highness No. 2 and is not a master, he still has to admire His Highness's perseverance and obsession with unifying the former empire.

Those who have aspirations, things come true, Bai Er Qin Guan will ultimately belong to Chu. Painful people, the sky is worth it, three thousand more can swallow Wu. These two poetry couplets were what my grandfather liked most when he was a child in his previous life to educate them that these juniors should be diligent and studious, and make progress every day. But now Lorist thinks that this is simply the best portrayal of the Second Highness. Seeing that he has gone through ups and downs, but still determined to change his mind, only thinking about the unification of the former empire to fulfill his wish~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It’s really a headache to have an opponent like His Royal Highness, especially as the upper rank of the Norton family. Lord, he is very good at learning lessons, and now he has cleverly grasped the measurement of the Norton family, every time it makes you uncomfortable but unable to do it. On the surface, they are very magnanimous and have a good tolerance for themselves. In fact, the two of them are very clear about each other's taboos and defensiveness.

Like this time, Lorist simply refused to send troops. His Royal Highness said that he didn’t care at all, but he immediately promised Duke Frundo that he would return to the original family territory and directly let the Norton family and Frundo family join forces. The territorial plan fell to nothing. In fact, Lorist understands that this is a disarming force. It is not practical to let Grand Duke Frundo send troops to return to the original family territory to lure, but the Second Highness has chosen to use it, and you have nothing to say.

For the Norton family, participating in this war is indeed harmful, because the Norton family as the lower lord has reached the peak of power and prestige, and it is impossible for the Second Highness to provide the conditions to enhance the strength of the Norton family to lure Make Lorist agree to join the war. And it is impossible for Lorester to lose the Norton family's armed forces for the so-called unification of the empire. But Lorist understands the character of His Royal Highness who can't give up until he reaches the goal. He can't let the most powerful Norton family armies stay watching the show, but now he can't think of what methods and methods the Second Royal Highness will use.

Thinking of a headache, Lorist stood up, ready to stroll in the garden. There was a slight wind, and Lorist stopped: "Who? Come out!"

Genorio, who followed him, drew his sword and blocked Lorist in front of him, assuming a guard posture.

A figure flashed in the shadow of the rockery in front: "It's me."

This voice turned out to be Grand Duke Feisabrun.
