Chapter 859 Huge Impact

Since the establishment of the Holy Kingdom, the country of Crossbell has rarely conducted real military operations. Most of the time, it has conducted some military exercises with neighboring countries.

But that doesn't mean they are weak.

Crossbell has a standing army of 100,000 people, thousands of surface ships, 20,000 cannons, five orders of Dragon Eagle Knights, five orders of Griffin Knights, and a group of magisters with about 2,000 people.

This is only a force that can be mobilized immediately. If given some time to prepare for war, it is not impossible to triple the number.

For the current level of productivity and social development, an army of this level is simply a dimensionality reduction strike, and only one front army is enough to settle the civil strife in Ranchi Pavle.

It is said that a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Of course, the new king must also take action to show that he is stronger than the previous king.

But they generally release some preferential policies to improve the cohesion of the people and expand the king's perception among common people or nobles. There is really no king who looks like he wants to fight to the bitter end.

The lords of Ranchi Pavle did not dare to bet that the king was just talking or really taking action. In the final analysis, the weapons of criticism were not as good as the criticism of weapons. In the face of the huge threat, the lords announced the suspension of all military affairs.

action.

Seeing that the lords were obedient, Crossbell issued another announcement, stating that the conflicts between you need to be resolved through negotiation, not force. Continuing civil strife will not benefit anyone.

The anyone he mentioned obviously did not include the river countries.

After all, during the civil strife in Ranchi Pavle, not only did the river countries enjoy the jokes, but the military country headed by Ustalav also provided a lot of mercenaries and ordnance services.

Both parties knew each other, and the guys in their hands were all produced in the same place. They made a lot of money.

Then, very similar to Perrenli's operation, Crossbell, as a witness and moderator, forcibly dragged both sides of the civil war to the conference table.

The specific content of the meeting is unknown to outsiders, but the results have been announced.

The lords renounced all acts of war, were willing to support the cessation of all military operations, stopped all acts of secession, and disbanded all troops except the standing army.

But the price is that the king must abdicate and temporarily continue to supervise the country as regent.

This operation is roughly equivalent to depriving the king of his identity from a legal perspective. Even if he wants to board a plane as a regent in the future, it will be unfair.

Moreover, the power of the regent is certainly not comparable to that of the king, and he cannot give orders to the lords at all.

Just looking at this part, the king's faction was almost completely defeated, but there were conditions for his abdication.

Prince Lloyd will marry the daughter of the previous king, and the legal heir born between them will inherit the throne in the future.

In other words, the grandfather abdicates and the son gives up the right to inherit the throne, but the grandson will become the king in the future, and regardless of whether the concentration of dragon veins has reached the level of the previous royal families, the lords must hold their noses and admit it, and cannot use this as an excuse to cause trouble again.

.

It's hard to say whether the lords rebelled because they were afraid of being cut off from their vassals or because they wanted to be kings themselves, but at least the result of the meeting was this. They would not be able to use this excuse in the future and could only continue to be lords with peace of mind.

This solution cannot be said to be perfect, but at least it makes the lords lose the reason to continue to rebel and lose their legitimacy. If they still want to rebel, they are rebellious officials and traitors, and they are the ones who are not justified.

Peace has returned to Ranchi Pavle, at least until the new king, who is still in liquid form, takes over.

I just don't know what Lloyd is thinking. I remember he once said that he already has someone he likes, and I don't know if he is willing to accept this arrangement.

His mood may have been that he had just finished singing farewell to the Slavic woman and was planning to go to the battlefield to risk his life, and then he turned into a snowflake...

The matter was settled by Carlos Bell. Even on the surface, the river countries had to send a message of congratulations and express their gratitude for the preciousness of peace.

The Demon Kingdom is also on the same page as the River Kingdoms in this regard, and to outsiders, it feels like it has joined the alliance of the River Kingdoms.

After all, other princesses have married you and become princesses. You must be consistent with the river countries in terms of diplomatic tone.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, this is like a small country that received aid during the Cold War. If you don’t speak for the big brother on the list, this is obviously not right, right?

The Holy Kingdom United definitely does not want the Demon Kingdom to completely turn to the river kingdoms. For a while, the envoys of the Holy Kingdom United wanted to request to see the Demon King. Applications came like a snowflake. But at this time, Pei Renli was furious and really didn't want to be delayed by these chores.

time.

As a result, they read a bad signal, so they released the news that Crossbell was discussing a marriage with the Demon Kingdom...

To be honest, Pei Renli didn't know about this at all, but the rumors said that he had a nose and an eye.

At one time, it was said that Ranchi Pavler still had an unmarried princess who wanted to marry the Demon King. At another time, it was said that Crossbell was preparing to select a suitable one from among the nobles with the title of Duke to marry the Demon King. It seemed that it would not take long for the Demon King to marry.

It seems like we have to hold another big one.

The one who reacted most violently to this incident was not the Demon Kingdom, nor even the River Kingdoms, but the New Tula Republic.

Interim Speaker Orona stated that she will marry His Majesty the Demon King Atlas within the year, and will step down from all public offices at that time, and the position of Speaker will be re-elected.

I don’t know what kind of competitive spirit it is because the last time they met, I just told Pei Renli that the engagement was announced. It doesn’t matter when the marriage will be consummated.

The rebels they had just met also gave some reaction and sent people to the Demon Kingdom one after another, hoping that the Demon King would send troops to deal with the pirates deep in the ocean...

Look at others and look at you. Others are trying to stuff their daughters into the arms of the devil. Why are you just thinking about letting the devil do his work?

Perrenli refused because the Demon Kingdom did not have a navy, and said that the Demon Kingdom is not your nanny, and there is no need to ask the Demon Kingdom for instructions on everything.

You have to be careful about what things you have to take care of and what things you have to ignore. You can't bleed yourself just for the sake of fame.

In short, although the civil war in Ranchi Pavle has been resolved, the international situation is still very chaotic, but recently the focus has inexplicably shifted to when the devil will get married again, and to whom.

And Pei Renli, who already has nine wives, really doesn't want to have more, mainly because his body may not be able to bear it...

One day, night.

Alice suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and noticed that Perrenli, who was lying next to her, was missing.

Somewhat confused, Elysee stood up, grabbed the slipping sheets, and looked towards the bed.

Pei Renli stood at the head of the bed, staring at the moonlight outside the window.

The windows of the Demon King's Castle are not real windows, they are more like simple landscape paintings, showing the situation of the sea of ​​trees, but the moonlight can indeed shine in.

"Why are you standing naked in front of the window when you're up so late at night?"

Pei Renli deliberately put on a toned look:

"Let my handsome body sunbathe."

“…..”

Elise patted the sheets silently and motioned for you to get up here.

"What's wrong with you this late at night?"

"No, it's just that I can't sleep."

Peri Renli obediently climbed onto the bed, leaned against the bedside, and put his head on Elise's chest.

"Hey, shouldn't you open your chest and let me lean in at this time?"

"Yeah, milky!"

"..."

Elise pinched Perenli silently, but did not push him away.

"I'm thinking about the construction of the new city. I don't know how many monsters will join next year."

The third new city has begun to be built, and its location is deeper into the sea of ​​trees. Monsters that had long been looking forward to it have also come to express their hope to join the Demon King's command.

"Is this what you were thinking about most of the night?"

"You have to make some preparations in advance."

Alice expressed disbelief, and Perrenli gave no explanation.

The two of them remained silent until Pei Renli's neck became sore and he had to sit upright.

"Did something happen?

Alice took advantage of the situation and hugged Pei Renli's chest with both hands, pressing her whole body on it.

"As expected, I still can't hide it from you."

"Nonsense, how long do you think I have known you?"

Pei Renli thought about it for a moment, and at this moment Alice seemed to shudder:

"Could it be related to the real enemy?"

"Um."

He said:

"Time is up."

This day will come and is inevitable.

"how do you know?"

"When I went to the toilet just now, the Demon King system suddenly popped up, and the hourglass that had stopped started running again. I think it's time."

Perrenli's Demon King System may have nothing to do with the real enemy, but is just a disguised Demon King System. His hourglass started to run again, which should be a signal to remind him.

After saying this, I could feel Elysee's embrace getting tighter.

"Then three times five divided by two, finish it quickly and come back quickly."

She said it lightly, but pressing against Perenli's chest, he could clearly feel Elise's heartbeat speeding up.

"Don't be like this. Didn't I say it? I have no guarantee."
