Two months ago, more than 30,000 troops from the Northern Principality and the Church began to attack the Desert Principality.
Among them, three small desert principalities were originally controlled by the church, but they surrendered without resistance.
Although the others also tried to resist, facing the church's three thousand paladins, they were simply helpless and were defeated one after another in a short period of time.
Exactly over two months now, this last principality has also been annexed by the church.
This also means that except for the Agate Principality, the rest of the Glory Continent is already under the control of the church.
In addition, the armies of the church and the northern principalities did not return victoriously after conquering the desert countries.
Instead, he stationed his troops in a desert city closest to the Agate Principality.
From this point of view, their intention to attack the Agate Principality is already very obvious, and the time will not be too far away.
As a result, the king of the Agate Principality and all the great nobles were immediately on pins and needles.
King Culver has issued a mobilization order before the war, so that all nobles are ready to accept the call-up order at any time.
Because this time we were resisting foreign enemies, so if a war really broke out, the troops would need to be swift and the nobles would need to arrive on the battlefield as soon as possible.
Of course, in order to increase the chances of resisting the church and the northern principality, the king and the earls finally remembered Nalant's ballista.
This is also the main message conveyed by this letter.
Bernard had told Nalant during the last Autumn Campaign that afterwards many counts would definitely come to him to buy crossbow technology to balance the fighting power of each family.
And now the king and a group of earls have negotiated, and each earl is willing to give 1,500 gold coins to purchase the craftsmanship of the bed crossbow from Nalant.
One thousand five hundred gold coins is not low. The last time a few big nobles purchased trebuchet technology, it only cost two thousand gold coins.
The technology of the trebuchet is much more complicated than this ballista.
Of course, as his future father-in-law, Bernard is now asking Narant if he can accept this exchange.
If it is acceptable, the king and the earls will immediately send craftsmen to the Storm Territory to learn.
If you feel dissatisfied, you can raise it and Bernard will help further discuss it with the king and other earls.
However, this negotiation must not be overpriced, otherwise it would be unwise at this critical moment, and it is likely to arouse the dissatisfaction of the king and the earls, which may be very detrimental to Nalant's future development.
After Narant read it, he was not ready to continue to increase the price.
Bernard was right, although taking advantage of the church's threat, Narant could sit back and raise the price.
But the consequences are very unpredictable, let alone whether he will be settled by the king and the earls in the future.
Even if everyone is in the same boat, there is no way he would put this big boat at risk of capsizing just for the sake of making such a small profit.
Besides, the king and the five earls each had 1,500 gold coins, which in total was equivalent to tens of thousands of gold coins. This was a fortune that made all nobles jealous.
"Sir, what should we do? According to what you said, after the church and the Northern Principality conquer the desert, the next one will attack our Agate Principality!"
Although Quirk still doesn't know the relationship between the church and the dark creatures, he understands that the church wants to annex them.
At this moment, I couldn't help but look at my master a little nervously.
Their current status depends on the lord Nalant. If nobles like Nalant ceased to exist.
Then they will naturally lose everything they have now.
"Soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth. Quik, the king and several great earls are blocking these matters, so we don't need to worry about it!"
"If you go back now and arrange for your subordinates to strengthen their training, war may come in the near future!"
"Yes, sir!" Quik nodded when he heard this. Indeed, as his Lord said, these things are really not something they can do in a hurry.
"By the way, you should also inform Mario that the snow has begun to melt and ask him to arrange his manpower to mine iron ore and coal mines first. Next, the Storm Territory will need to reserve a large amount of pig iron, which will be used to forge weapons and equipment in the future."
Although Nalant said that resisting the church was a matter for the king and the great earls, in fact he did not like to leave his fate to the hands of others.
Therefore, necessary preparations are still needed, such as forging enough weapons and equipment for his men to equip.
Although it is not worth mentioning compared to the strange mithril armor of the three thousand paladins, he, a little noble, can still deal with other soldiers from the Northern Principality.
In addition, he now has more than fifty extraordinary warriors under his command.
Among them, there are twenty-five storm knights and twenty-eight blood barbarian knights.
Although Raymond and other barbarians have only awakened their bloodline for more than two months, their strength is at most equivalent to that of a junior bronze knight, but they have Warcraft Wolf mounts, so their strength is no worse than seasoned knights such as Storm Knights.
Such a force is not as high-end as the previous one, but it is more than enough.
And if he was given a few more months, he could even add another group of extraordinary knights.
Because of Bessie's hard work in the past two months and the help of the big green elf, the Qi Vein Blood Fruit and the Monster Fruit have grown.
At this rate, it is believed that the fruits on the two fruit trees will be ripe for picking again in just over a month.
Compared to the past, where one result was obtained every year, Nalant was already extremely fast. He could at least achieve three results a year. Even when Bessie, the lucky girl's talent, strengthened again, it would not be unreasonable to achieve four results a year.
possible.
Of course, Nalant is unique in the glory continent in terms of the increase in the number of titled knights, but high-end combat power is still scarce, and he is the only one in the entire Storm Territory who can take action.
"Then you should retreat first!" After giving instructions, Nalant directly called Quik back.
After Quick left, the door to the hall was closed, and Narant simply meditated in the hall.
The fireball technique and the fire shield technique are now his life-saving means, and the magic power directly affects the performance of the two. In addition to practicing fighting spirit, he will sit down and meditate whenever he has free time.
Speaking of which, it would be great if this kiwi fruit could also be made into potions and distributed to subordinates for use.
If your subordinates are strong, then you are truly strong.
After all, the life he wanted as a gentleman was to sit on a carriage, with Vivian on the left, Shirley on the right...oh no, Catherine on the right, and a little maid half-kneeling in front of him, feeding him grapes.
And then he, the lord, gave an order: Give it to me.
Immediately, his men rushed towards the enemy like wolves and tigers.
When the enemy saw this, they were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy. With a snap of his finger, all his enemies were wiped out.
This feeling... makes me excited just thinking about it!
But looking back on the Autumn Campaign to this day, every time he has to come up personally and say "Follow me"... and then lead the way and charge forward.
If I say it, I will shed tears... Sigh... I won’t say it anymore, I won’t say it anymore!
