The fishy wind of Blood Lake dispersed in the air, and the artillery fire in Shuangliu Bay broke the tranquility of the rocky sea. However, as the last inland water area of the Principality of Cambay, the stream valley always seemed quiet and peaceful.
Cucabro, an ordinary person, is stationed in the Stream Valley. This man has a very high emotional intelligence and should have shown his talents in the city of Heim. However, his character is too peaceful and even a little weak, so he was canonized as the Stream Valley by Archduke Dominic.
Stationed.
But to everyone's surprise, Kukabulo was not only able to clearly see the situation in the ancient continent, but he was also a rare all-round talent.
Because under his rule for nearly ten years, the stream valley has now become the most important part of the principality of Cambay. Mountains of grain were sent to the four main cities, and the remaining small portion was sold to the neighboring Fu.
The Principality of Roy.
As a result, the Xixi Valley jumped from a poor gathering place in the Principality of Cambay to a new world full of shops. The name of the "fifth major city" passed through the roaring jungle, poured into the gate of Heim City, and finally circled
In the stone chamber of the imperial meeting.
However, Cucabro declined the kindness of Archduke Dominic, saying frankly that he only wanted to live in a stream valley and was unwilling to participate in any overt and secret fights between nobles.
As a result, the plan to establish a new main city in the Principality of Cambay was shelved, but it was this move that violated the established interests of some great nobles.
A fire-sealed document was piled up on the desk, and the ministers expressed their opinions. However, depending on their opinions, they still planned to restart the construction plan of the "fifth main city".
However, Grand Duke Dominic suppressed the matter arbitrarily, and also harshly criticized the words and deeds of all the ministers. Seeing this, everyone no longer dared to say anything, but their resentment towards Cucabro became even deeper.
But they didn't know that the reason why Archduke Dominic protected the garrison in Xixi Valley was not out of pity for the general and talent, but because of the other party's identity that few people knew.
The owner of the Stone Sea is not the Principality of Cambay, which is famous for its "iron blood", nor is it Iron Hook Island, Crab Island, or Frost Riding Castle. The "Twelve Warcraft", the North Sea Monster Kraken, is the real ruler here.
who.
However, the character of the Lord of Warcraft is extremely weird, and moodiness is his motto. Most of the attacks on humans are just because life is too ordinary and boring.
However, he has been an old friend for decades with the Kukabro stationed in the stream valley. At least the secret agent has seen the two of them in secret contact more than once in the past three years.
Archduke Dominic did not expose this matter, because in his view, since Cucabro was from Cambay, his friends were naturally from his own side.
If you think more naively, maybe the Principality of Cambay can get help from the Lord of Warcraft in the future. If that day comes, Archduke Dominic will definitely destroy Frost Riding Castle and even Aogu City with his own hands.
So in this case, Archduke Dominic could only choose to try his best to satisfy the other party's requirements in order to enhance his relationship and achieve the goal of establishing friendship with Kraken one day in the future.
But as the Grand Duke of Cambay, Dominic also has his own dignity. Although he really wants to make friends with the Lord of Warcraft, he is also worried that Xixi Valley will break away from the rule of the principality.
The sturdy armored horses ran on the plains, and after three days, their pace gradually slowed down. The two fire-lacquered letters were carefully put away by the adjutant, who then brought them to Cucabulo.
But unlike other rulers, Kukabulo spends most of his time in a room instead of sitting in a room, but in streams and springs.
The carved ironwood fishing rod was raised high, and then the hook drew a graceful arc in mid-air. The lifelike fish float created waves of ripples, and the midday sun was slightly dazzling.
The water ripples slowly with the breeze. There is a delicate teapot on the bonfire, and the white mist carries the fragrance of tea for a long time.
Cucabulo squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying this rare tranquility while calculating the yield of the stream valley this year.
However, after a period of sparse footsteps, he suddenly woke up, and then his brows knitted together. He didn't like to be disturbed casually, so if the adjutant came to find him in person, it meant that there was something very important.
It's just that in his mind, there should be no way for him, an "idler", to participate in those so-called "big events". Even if he escapes from Heim City, it will only be a matter for the other three main cities.
"Your Excellency, two official documents were sent from Heim City today. One is from the Royal Council, and the other is a personal letter from the Grand Duke." The adjutant bowed and saluted, and then handed the two letterheads to Kukabu.
Luo.
As time passed slowly, Kukabulo's expression changed from indifferent at the beginning, to confusion in the middle, and finally ended with bitterness.
The letter was burned by the bonfire, and Kukabulo remained sitting by the stream, neither saying anything nor making any intention to get up.
With a long sigh, he first motioned for his adjutant to sit down, and then took out two jugs of wine from his storage bag.
"Sir, is something happening in Heim City, or is something happening in our stream valley?" The adjutant took a sip of wine and asked with some confusion.
He has followed Cucabulo for many years and naturally knows how this gentleman behaves in daily life. Unless he encounters something difficult, he will definitely not show this attitude.
"Two letters, one of which says 'Conscription Order'. This year we in Xixi Valley must not stay away from the matter, otherwise I will go to Heim City to take up my post."
"The other letter is a handwritten letter from Grand Duke Dominic. That gentleman plans to commandeer the stream valley to hide part of the principality's cavalry."
"The Grand Duke's intention is very simple. He plans to declare war on Iron Hook Island and Crab Island in the next few years to achieve his long-cherished wish to expand the territory of the Principality of Cambay."
Kukabro explained softly, but the adjutant beside him was frightened. But as a Cambay man, he naturally hopes that the territory of the principality can be expanded again.
"It is estimated that all the three-masted sailing ships in Shuangliu Bay will also participate in the war by then. Everyone knows the character of the Grand Duke. Either he doesn't do it, or he will fight to the death if he does."
"It's just that I'm very worried about the peeper in the east. As the loyal brother of Aogu City, the Knight Principality will definitely not sit back and watch our Cambay Principality annex Iron Hook Island and Crab Island like this."
"And how can Iron Hook Island and Crab Island be so easy to capture? Let's not talk about their own strength. Just thinking about their ambiguous relationship with the dark elves is enough to give people a headache."
"But I hope these are all guesses. I hope I make a mistake in my judgment this time. Otherwise, the Principality of Cambay will be in disaster. At least it will be severely damaged, and at worst it will lose the Blood Lake and even the Trembling Mountains."
After saying that, Cucabulo immediately packed up his things and slowly returned along the original route. As a garrison in the stream valley, he could only obey the Grand Duke's decision. As for whether this decision was correct or not, it was not something that he should worry too much about.
.
The adjutant saw this and followed closely, but he never asked again because he believed in the other party and believed that he could turn the tide.
It was the blind confidence he had accumulated from following the opponent for many years, and it was also a silent vow. The stream valley could be used to station the principality’s legions, but it could never be a place to launch a war.
Although he is now Cucabulo's trusted lieutenant, he has also stepped out of the poor. Therefore, he does not want to see the poor being displaced again, let alone seeing anyone die in a foreign land.
