Chapter 434 Snake Whisperer(1/2)
The grand ceremony ended in just a quarter of an hour.
The images on the Boat of Birch disappeared and returned to the gray and cold sky, but the impact of the ceremony was just beginning. Hundreds of thousands of residents in Balosk were still unsatisfied to regain their eyes. Almost no one continued their affairs and started talking loudly with their family, friends or strangers around them.
This "live broadcast" ceremony, both in form and in the message passed, greatly impacted everyone.
As the most prosperous port in Congatro, all major families have installed people in Balosk. At this moment, the news of the Dragonborn's official return and the loyalty of the Fisher family spread through different means. In less than two days, the entire kingdom will be known.
This is exactly what Rennes wants.
He looked at Duke Fisher, and the soul eye showed that the other party's emotions were very stable, and there was no longer the obscure fluctuations before.
Obviously, the duke has accepted reality and dared not have any other intentions.
Emilys sat on a high-back chair, her face full of uncontrollable joy. The sounds of "Her Majesty the Queen" made her feel a little unreal, excited, excited and confused, mixed feelings, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Her Majesty the Queen."
The Duke of Fisher waited until the images in the sky disappeared and immediately reported: "The whole city saw the ceremony just now. Mark will soon get the news. We must prepare as soon as possible, but my sturgeons... and it will take time for my vassals to summon the army."
He paused at this point, and everyone understood what he meant.
The Hewan Legion had just suffered a serious loss. Many sturgeons were backfired due to the collapse of the water curtain shield, and their souls were injured. Some sturgeons' injuries did not recover, so it was impossible to go out immediately.
Emilys nodded to show her understanding.
"Leevsky, how long will it take for your army to set out?"
The Duke of Fisher thought for a few breaths and replied, "At least five days." This was already in a hurry, and five days were not enough to fully recover the sturgeons' injuries.
Unexpectedly, Emily did not urge him, but laughed and said, "I'll give you seven days."
The Duke of Fisher was surprised. The soldiers were very fast. Every day of the war was very precious. Sometimes even a few hours of delay would affect the outcome. Seven days later, Mark must have summoned the army in the capital Kingsland and might take the initiative.
Emilys saw his doubts and said with a smile: "Lives doesn't have to worry, just gather the troops."
"Yes, your Majesty!"
The Duke of Fisher turned around and ordered his vassals, "You will return to your territory immediately, and call on your knights and extraordinary people, and arrive at the Boat of the Wind within three days. Those who are outdated will be regarded as betrayal."
With the lessons of Viscount Vardfrey, no one of the lords dared to object.
Exit the Baihe Hall one by one and return to the territory as quickly as possible.
Later, the Duke of Fisher invited everyone to a more secret meeting room on the upper floor of the Benliu Castle, and let Emilyse sit in the upper head, and sit among the crowd as a vassal.
"Your Majesty, will the seven days be too long to affect the plan for restoration?" Duke Fisher asked with a serious expression: "Markgang and Duke Dance have fought for several months. The troops under his command are very tired and there is no time to replenish the casualties. This opportunity should be seized."
He has entered his role and considered it from the standpoint of the Drogonburg family.
This made Emily feel deeply relieved.
As for the Duke of Fisher, she had already discussed it with Rennes, Valorgen and others before landing in Congatro.
Renn smiled and explained: "My Duke, our strategy is not to raid, but to defeat the enemy in a dignified manner."
“It’s not easy.”
Duke Fisher disagreed. "Marke's Julu Legion's strongest strength in Congatro, ranking second in the number of extraordinary people, second only to the Ice Wolf Knights of the Duke of Brandon in the North. Moreover, Duke Brandon is also Mark's most determined ally. In addition, the Falcon Guards of the Etis family, as well as the vassals, knights and extraordinary people of the three major families, can gather an extraordinary army of more than 30,000 people, and the number of legends reaches twenty. Even if we can defeat them head-on, it will be a huge price to pay."
"A few months ago, Mark sent only half of the troops to attack Duke Dance, and suppressed the three coalition forces of the Dance family, the Moors family and ours. If it weren't for the news that Duke Dance had mastered the news that His Majesty was about to return to Congatro before the final battle, he might have been defeated."
Speaking of this, Duke Fisher showed his concerns half true and half false.
The previous civil war in Congatro seemed to be lively, but in fact it was not a tragic one. Both sides of the war were restrained, and there were three gods behind the coalition. The seven gods would not allow Lauberdir to dominate the kingdom of Congatro.
Even if Mark wins, he will not dare to truly destroy the three major families, and will receive land cede and compensation.
This usurper just wanted to cleanse his shame.
"The three coalition forces cannot do it, which does not mean that we cannot do it." Renn was very clear about these situations. Valogan has been collecting intelligence and sorting out and sharing it every day. He also knew that this was the Duke of Fisher's temptation to his own strength and said, "Duke, you have not really seen what it looks like to participate in wars in a wizard group, nor have you realized that my Extreme War and the Knights of the Gun Wings play their best."
"Our war is not something that can determine the outcome if there are too many people." Renne smiled meaningfully and said slowly:
"Duke, times have changed."
Duke Fisher's face changed slightly, remembering yesterday's battle. After the water curtain shroud collapsed, if the wizard group released the third round of meteor explosion, the Boat of Running has now become a ruin.
"Lives, I returned to Congatro to rule, not to destroy." Emilys also spoke out: "We will advance step by step, from south to north, regain the territory, obtain the support of various families, and the support of the noble lords, especially the support of the people of Congatro."
"The more people stand on our side, the fewer enemies there will be."
"Marke summoned the army, and our strength would also increase. Without any conspiracy, the two sides finally launched a final battle, and we will surely win!"
Emilys' tone was full of confidence, as if she had seen herself ascending to the Iron Throne.
Everyone was infected by her confidence, and the Duke of Fisher was also excited. He asked carefully: "Your Majesty, where is our next target of attack?"
"Wind Rage Castle."
The Duke of Fisher found that he had guessed wrong again. Didn’t Renn just say that he would advance step by step, why was he going to attack Fengfu Castle immediately?
Fengfu Fort is a military fortress and a city at the same time.
It is located in the territory of the Lauberdir family, on the southeast coast of Congatro. It has a steep terrain and is attacked by violent storms all year round. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The city population is only more than 100,000. However, it is the core fief of the Lauberdir family. It has been passed down for more than 3,000 years and is one of the oldest castles in Congatro.
Forty years ago, after Mark usurped the throne and ascended the Iron Throne, he annexed the territory of the Drogonburg family, and the center of gravity of the Lauberdir family moved to the royal capital Kingsland.
The Duchy of Lauberdir is not abundant. It borders the Duchy of Fisher, which divides the southern part of Congatero into two. However, whether it is crop production, convenient transportation, or bad weather, the Duchy of Lauberdir is far inferior to the Duchy of Fisher.
But it is also the harsh environment that has created the strength of the Julu warriors and cultivated the most powerful bloodline.
After Lauberdill owned the royal capital, the status of the family territory gradually became neglected.
Wind Rage Castle is no longer as important as it used to be. Mark enthroned it to his younger brother Prince Dilan. He has not come back for many years and only regards Wind Rage Castle as a base for cultivating Julu warriors. Every Julu warrior who awakens blood will leave Fenglu for the capital.
The nobles in the territory of Lauberdir gradually moved to the capital and lived a life of luxury.
Its conquest value is far less than that of the Principality of Morse in the northern Principal of Fisher.
"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand." Duke Fisher said bluntly.
Emilys did not explain, "You will understand in a few days." Then everyone in the chamber discussed some details and then dispersed.
Four days later, an extraordinary army of more than 3,000 people gathered inside and outside the Benliu Fort.
The lords of the Principal of Fisher did not dare to neglect them, and summoned their own knights and extraordinary people, a total of twelve lords, the largest marquis had an army of five hundred men, and the least baron also brought forty or fifty men, almost all out.
In addition to the River Wan Legion and the extraordinary people of the Fisher family, they also gathered two thousand people.
The army of five thousand centaurs and five thousand extraordinary legions, the sum of the two, and the number of troops under Emilys was immediately exceeded 10,000.
With so many extraordinary people gathering, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping is already a big problem.
It also needs to carry out management and rectification, strictly enforce military discipline, and mediate the frictions between the lords. Valorgen and Duke Fisher were very busy, and it took two days to integrate the army of 10,000 people.
"Your Majesty," Duke Fisher reported to the chamber, "Everything is ready, and the army will set out tomorrow."
"Leevsky, Valogan, thank you for your hard work these days." Emilys showed care appropriately.
Both said that this was what they should do.
Duke Fisher has passed the period of weakness and his injuries have healed. As a legendary high-ranking sturgeon, he has no trouble not sleeping for half a month. Varogan's strength is slightly worse, but he does not feel any fatigue at all. His eyes are shiny. The great cause he has planned for many years is progressing smoothly, which makes him more and more excited.
At this time, a high-level extraordinary mercenary came in and handed Valorgan a note.
He opened it and took a look, then closed it.
Emilys asked, "What's the matter?"
Varogan's eyes swept over the people in the chamber, hesitated for a few breaths, and said, "Your Majesty, an important person has arrived outside the Boat of the Binliu and requested a visit."
Emilys stood up suddenly, "He's here?"
"yes."
"Please come in quickly."
Varogan asked the high-level mercenary to go out and invite people. The exchange between him and Emilys made everyone in the hall confused, and even Rennes didn't know who it was, let alone Duke Fisher.
Renn frowned, opened his soul eye and found that except for Emilys and Valorgan, it seemed that only Astan knew the inside story, and even Dinlaji was kept in the dark.
This is obviously the most confidential thing about Emilys and others.
It has been hiding it until now.
"Ren..."
Emily turned her head, with a little apology and a little nervous. She secretly thanked that the two Speakers of Wizelland were not here, and if they asked, she would not know how to explain.
Ren shrugged and said nothing.
Soon, the high-level mercenary entered the chamber with four people who had their whole bodies covered in their robes and their faces hidden in their hoods, and everyone's eyes fell on them.
They walked into the chamber and opened their hoods together.
"Meet Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Greetings to Lord Dragon!"
The names of the four people are different. The head is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, with a well-proportioned figure, wearing inconspicuous gray-white leather armor, with short black hair, and a slightly gloomy eyes and a dark temperament. When people look at him, they feel inexplicably uncomfortable, as if they are not looking at a person, but a poisonous snake.
Renne doesn't know this person, but someone recognizes it.
The Duke of Fisher couldn't help but stand up, his face was extremely shocked, and he shouted, "Pedro Morse!" The other party saluted gracefully and said in a hoarse voice: "Duke, we are meeting again."
