Chapter 1274 ambition
Since the red mist poured down from the top of the mountain, everything in the world seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze. Marveen Pike thought he would feel as uncomfortable as if he was in a dusty mine, but unexpectedly, his body did not feel any discomfort.
If you inhale hard, you can even feel a hint of moisture and coolness. According to the Devil Commander, these mists contain the essence of life and will not only not cause any harm to humans, but will also have nourishing benefits. Only witches who specifically oppose them will be fatal backlash.
Not to mention this statement for a while, but at present, there is no other harm except for a slight impact on his vision. After a month, he has basically gotten used to life in the red fog.
"Sir Duke, Lord of the Sky has sent someone." At this moment, a personal guard walked into the study, "I am waiting for you in the courtyard."
Mavien nodded quietly, "Please wait in place, I'll go there now."
"yes."
After the personal guards closed the door, Ma Weien couldn't help but smile.
That's right, Duke. No matter how many times he heard it, it made him feel happy. When the devil passed through the Ice Abyss and rushed into the Snowing Castle a month ago, he thought that it was the rumored ending, but he didn't expect that the other party would let him go in the end.
After "abandoning" the inherent prejudice, Mavien found that the devil who called himself the Lord of the Sky was not as difficult as imagined to be difficult to communicate. To some extent, it was even better to deal with than the Greycastle people. At least the former would not turn the noble territory into nothingness without saying anything.
The devil does not charge taxes, does not rob land, or seize power. As long as they swear allegiance, they can protect everything they have and have a chance to get more. Except for the methods that are a little rough, there is no other harm. Especially after the Lord of the Sky also handed over the three cities around Xueying Castle to him for management, he even thought this might be good.
Xueying Castle is like an isolated island, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is difficult for others to threaten his territory, so it is difficult for him to open up. I thought that the title of Earl would probably have to be worn for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that when the end of the world came, I took a big step forward.
He ruled the entire northern region of the Yongdong Kingdom, and he was already the well-deserved Duke of the Northern Territory.
Mavien pressed the corner of his mouth with his hand, and finally calmed his smile. He closed the window and turned around and walked downstairs.
That's right, when the devil attacked the city, he did kill dozens of guards and hundreds of lords, but there was no reason for the undead people in the war? Isn't the territorial dividing line between the nobles also determined through war? Now that he has four cities in his hand, the guard team has not only not shrunk, but has doubled, let alone the lords, as long as there is land and food for them to live, they will always be compensated in a few years.
As for those who are talking behind the scenes that he chooses to surrender to the devil because of fear, they should be on the gallows.
Entering the courtyard, Mavien saw the messenger sent by the Lord of the Sky and the huge monster lying beside it. To be honest, he could not tell from his appearance that these guys were different from Hekzod. They were both ugly and crude, and they did not know what politeness and education were. If it weren't for the sake of the commander of the Demon Army, he would not want to deal with these beasts at all.
"I wonder what the Lord of the Sky has to give?"
The other party took out a stone from his mount bag and handed it to him, then opened his bloody mouth and said in a broken tone, "Listen!"
Is it magical sound transmission again...
Feeling the fishy smell coming from the messenger's mouth, Ma Weien couldn't help but lean back slightly, trying to suppress the disgust in his heart, "I'm listening."
The stone flashed twice, and soon a familiar voice rang out of thin air.
"How does it feel to be the Lord of the First Realm? I hope you haven't forgotten your promise yet, Mr. Lord."
"Of course not, sir," Mavien replied quickly, "I have been preparing to play for you."
"Very good, I believe that a month has made your people accustomed to our existence. Now it's time. I need you to assemble a team to assist us in building the camp, not in eternal winter, but in the Kingdom of Wolf Hearts. The number of people should be at least two thousand, of course... the more, the better."
Is this a coolie who needs to work? Ma Weien estimated that it is not difficult to gather so many people from four cities, "For me, yours."
"I did not choose the wrong person." The Lord of the Sky had a little more satisfaction in his voice. "In addition, how have the weapons I handed you over to you before been researched? Can your people imitate it?"
"This..." Ma Weien said in a difficult face, "It's no problem to use, but it may take some time to imitate it... I gathered the best blacksmiths in the north and asked them to build a component one by one, but the progress was not ideal. I think this may be related to the witch. After all, the blacksmith reported to me that those parts were not done by ordinary human resources."
"I think so." Fortunately, there is no guilt in the words of the Lord of the Sky, "But even so, you should be able to use it to counter the Greycastle people. This is the second order I have given you, send someone to stop Greycastle from plundering the wolf's hearts, and I will hand over the other seized weapons to you."
"But I don't have enough knights anymore."
"Then go and call!" The Lord of the Sky interrupted, "Don't you humans like to use this set to expand your subordinates the most? Divide your territory and win over those capable people to do their own business. Don't be reluctant to give up the price. If this matter can be done well, it will not be a problem to make you the King of Eternal Winter."
Mavien trembled all over... The King of Eternal Winter, the name he once dared to touch in his dreams, has come to him in this way? He suppressed his sudden acceleration of heartbeat and tried his best to control his tone and replied, "As for orders, sir, I will do my best to complete it."
"Snap the time, I want to see the results as soon as possible."
"I won't let you down."
The light of the stone disappeared.
"I, come again in one week."
After the messenger finished speaking, he climbed up the meat-winged monster, raised his hands, and then soared into the air. The latter let out a strange cry, flapped his wings and flew out of the city, and soon disappeared from sight.
Ma Weien was covered with flying dust.
Damn it! He coughed and thought to himself that if these devils were acting like the Lord of the Sky, they would probably not have been widely circulated as monsters from hell.
When he returned to the castle, he immediately called the old bachelor. Although the other party's performance last time was quite unbearable and he was scared to his pants directly on the top of the city wall, he had no more reliable advice for a while.
After repeating the request of the Lord of the Sky, Mavien asked, "What do you think?"
"Sir, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" The old scholar held his hand excitedly, "Since your father's generation, I have served the Parker family. It has always been his wish that he always said about expanding power to the Snow Castle. Now you have not only achieved the first step, but also have the opportunity to win the eternal winter. You must seize it no matter what!"
"I think so, but... do you think we can really beat the Grayburger people by finding some knights?" Ma Weien expressed his doubts in his heart. "You have also seen the exquisiteness of those snow-powder crossbow arrows. It is basically impossible to imitate them. The number of seized by the devil must be limited. What should I do after the fight?"
"No, sir, we don't need to fight against the army of Gray Castle," the old scholar shook his head, "The Lord of the Sky has no such plan. Its original words are "Stop plundering." As far as I know, the team of the Gray Castle people is very scattered. As long as the weapons are equal, we can take the initiative with our strategy! If we can successfully defeat several plundering teams, they will inevitably be restrained. In fact, when I first heard you tell me, I thought of a wonderful plan."
"Oh? Let's hear it."
The old bachelor attached himself to the duke's ear and said his ideas in detail.
Ma Weien's face suddenly showed joy.
"It should be feasible!" He nodded heavily, "In this way, our disadvantages become advantages. Just do what you said!"
Chapter completed!
