Chapter 1030 Loren! Something happened to you! Don’t resist, no one will be hurt! -[810]
The Cato area has a long and narrow coast with quite good fishery resources. Although this place does not have a good deep-water port, people in this area made a fortune from fishing as early as the establishment of the Confederation of Bosia.
Because of its good climate and proximity to the green forests of the Antani region, the products here are also quite rich. Therefore, the Cato region has been a very good commercial area within the scope of human civilization in the Old World a long time ago.
It occupies a favorable location, and its connection to the Genoa Peninsula has allowed this place to have the buds of engineering technology. When the Transian barbarians were still struggling to fight with cold weapons, some factories in the Cato region had already used halflings.
mechanical technology to create wealth.
Since the establishment of the Confederation of Persia, the Cato region has been its money bag.
Its status is similar to the granary of Kakhovka. The huge but contradictory and weak confederation almost depends on these two places for its survival.
It is a pity that the country that failed to be destroyed by four black disasters was finally destroyed by the invasion of the Ten Years' War. After Plantagenet and Nordtoff teamed up to dismember the Bosian Confederation, the Kafhoka granary was taken away by the Yankees, and the money
The Bagkato region was occupied by the Plantagenet Kingdom.
King Louis's original intention was to rely on the engineering buds in the Cato region to help his country complete the "technological revolution." Therefore, in the second year of the Ten Years' War, the Cato region had already been captured.
The Bird Flower Kingdom has been occupied for nine years, and its grassroots rule has been replaced, and the diffusion of technology that King Louis wanted to see has become a reality.
Seven of the top ten large factories in the Cato region have moved to the hinterland of the Plantagenet. The remaining three have not moved not because they resisted the king's orders, but because those three large factories all belong to the Capet family, a staunch royalist party.
.
Since Brigadier General Fraser's grandfather made a fortune in the Cato region, more than a hundred years of hard work has made this family the "uncrowned king" of the Cato region.
The Cato area has long been the private property of the Capet family.
But even so, after this place was included in the territory of Plantagenet, the power of the Capet family further expanded in the nine years. They moved from behind the scenes to the stage, becoming the double true words in the aristocrats and business circles of the Cato region.
Of course, in a country still under feudalism, the members of these two groups are often highly overlapping.
The Cato area has become the true authority of the Capet family. From this point of view, King Louis handed over the dark area of Cato to the management of the Wolfsbane clan, which may also be a clever divide and rule strategy.
After all, even though the Capetian family has been a staunch royalist party for generations, their power is currently too large for a de facto king.
In short, in the current war period when the Genoa Peninsula is invaded by jackals, as the leading force in the Cato region, the Cape family also assumes the important responsibility of providing military supplies for the pioneering legions here. In addition to the next head of the family, Brigadier General Fraser
In addition to serving in the military, the current head of the family, Count Lyon, also sits here and personally leads the logistics of the war.
This is a formal position appointed by King Louis, and His Excellency the Earl is also very concerned about it. Once the front line is defeated and the jackals rush into the Cato area and plunder, neither the king nor the family can bear the consequences.
Count Lyon is a man who pays great attention to the quality of life. Even when he was in charge of military logistics during the war, he did not live in Dorod Fortress. Instead, he lived in his health villa on the seaside and used it as his office location.
The Earl was old and therefore had quite good living habits. It was only eight o'clock in the evening and he was already ready to rest.
But just when the Earl was lying on the bed under the service of his teleportation master lover, Mrs. Runa, a rapid knock on the door woke him up. This made the Earl sit up from the bed with a start, and his lover also picked up the
He picked up the magic cane placed beside the bed.
"Master, something happened on the nearby coast. A large group of wave fishmen are attacking the surrounding villages and coastlines. The number is very large. You must move immediately!"
The loyal old butler said something outside the door, which made Earl Lyon immediately narrow his eyes.
Nicknamed "Black-footed Fox", he is not a timid person. Although he has never officially been on the battlefield, the Earl's life experience has given him enough to stabilize his mind in critical moments. He got off the bed and put on his pajamas.
Opening the door, he looked at the old butler who was dressed in assassin armor and dressed up outside, and asked:
"What's going on? Why are there suddenly fishmen? There are no signs of fishmen activities on the coastline of the Cato area."
"It's hard to say the reason now, but based on my experience, these fishmen don't look like an organized attack on land, but more like a group of broken soldiers. Maybe there are some special circumstances in the outer sea."
The old butler Huguenot, who once had adventures with the Nantes Rangers but now is willing to return to the ordinary, said in a deep voice:
"But these matters can be investigated later. Your safety is the top priority. Please change your clothes immediately and follow me out of the villa. I will escort you to Dorod Fortress. The message previously sent back from the Pioneer of the Pioneer Legion
It has also been confirmed that the Dagon fishmen and the bone-crunching jackals have completed the alliance of evil camps. It is difficult to say whether this fishman attack is a conspiracy by them to disrupt the rear."
"Well, that makes sense."
The count thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"Leave soldiers here to guard the position, ask members of the Logistics Department of the Pioneer Legion to retreat with me, and also send a message to the Wolfsbane Clan's nearby stronghold. I need them to resist this group of murlocs from advancing inland.
The nearby area has been allocated to the refugees who escaped from the Genoa Peninsula. Once they know that the fishmen are attacking the coast, it will definitely cause unnecessary waves. The current direction of the war is not stable. If these hundreds of thousands of refugees riot again, things will be very serious.
Trouble."
The old butler nodded, turned around and left to arrange the decorations while leaving time for the master to change clothes.
When Count Lyon closed the door, his mistress, the teleportation master who had bought out the rest of his life with a lot of money, had already prepared hunting clothes for him for a long trip, and stepped forward to help the Count change clothes.
During this process, the teleportation master who was born in the Ring Tower said lightly:
"I don't know much about politics, Leon, and I don't know much about war, but just from the perspective of psychic knowledge and abnormal creatures, if the other party has the ability to defeat the Dagon fishmen in the sea, it means that they actually have the ability.
Annihilate them.
Such a large number of murlocs fled to the mainland, which was not in line with the tradition of the murlocs. They can only exert their greatest fighting power in the water.
Therefore, Lyon, I suspect this was a staged rout."
"Um?"
Earl Capet suddenly frowned and asked:
"You mean, the other party wants the fishmen to enter the Cato area, but what's the reason?
Although the martial ethics of this place is not as strong as that of the Transians, the level of military equipment is much better than that of other places. At most, a group of fleeing fishmen can only dominate the local area and harass the fishermen.
I can’t see the benefits of the other person’s hard work.”
"Or is this their purpose?"
The count's psychic mistress helped the count put on the exquisite and expensive protective inner armor made by Lord Wolfsbane himself, and whispered in a gentle tone:
"You just said that the Cato area has hosted many refugees, and King Louis hopes that the country can absorb the mechanics among them. If a ruler like King Louis can see the value of this group of refugees, then other rulers can also
.
The refugees were already panicked, and the local residents were also complaining about the arrival of this group of people. They turned their uneasiness and disgust about the war into hostility, thinking that these cowardly guys had brought disaster to them. In addition, now
The pioneering army's operations on the peninsula did not go smoothly.
Under this situation, any disturbance will make the local situation even worse.
And the fishman
The sudden appearance of this savage group at this time perfectly meets all the elements of the above situation. Once the news of the attack on the coast spreads and once the fishermen are unable to go to sea, chaos will follow."
This plump and quite beautiful psionicist expressed his thoughts in a few words, and the count nodded frequently. He looked at the woman who had been by his side for more than ten years with an appreciative look, deeply feeling that he had
What a bargain that investment was.
The count's wife passed away a few years ago. This psionicist was the woman most promising to become the matron of the Cape family, but she was really smart and never mentioned it proactively, but she also understood it appropriately.
Show your abilities in front of the count.
She is definitely not a vulgar person who entertains people with sex.
Compared with her beautiful face and mature body, her wise soul hidden under her beautiful body is the trait that fascinates the earl the most.
"There's only one place that's hungry for more manpower at this time."
The Count of Lyon put on his coat and picked up his cane. Accompanied by his mistress, he left the room and said softly:
"It seems that the appetite of our Transian friends is getting bigger and bigger. Unfortunately, those mechanics cannot be given to them. Your Majesty still needs their contribution for domestic reforms, but refugees other than mechanics
Well, the kingdom's basic labor force is abundant enough, so leaving them to compete with the natives for the few jobs is not a good thing.
Maybe we should just go with the flow."
"But if the king is blamed for this"
The mistress whispered:
"You will be scolded unnecessarily."
"The winner is not blamed, Runa."
The count said with a smile:
"King Louis will not have a rift with his staunchest supporter over such a trivial matter. What's more, His Majesty is a man who is good at playing power. The officials he sent have been trying to take over the Cato region from us, but
Facts have proved that those ambitious young people cannot realize the king's expectations.
Whether there will be chaos in the Cato area or not depends on the Cape family's decision."
"Well, I also think those officials who are eager to show their abilities have gone too far during this time."
Runa helped the count into the carriage and said:
"It is also necessary to teach them a lesson, but Lyon and King Louis have begun to fear the power of the family. With the resources of the Cato region and the wealth of the Anjou region, no rational ruler will allow us to continue to be strong.
Go down.
I know you are a loyal minister, but the family inheritance"
"You can't ask me to choose between loyalty and power, Runa. No member of the royal party should do this."
As the carriage started, Count Lyon leaned on the sofa and reached out to hold his lover's wrist. He said softly:
"But I also know that you have been unwilling to accept the title of Mistress Capet not because you don't like it, but because you, a female fox, want more, such as a grand duchess?"
The psionicist made no answer, but her silence was an answer in itself.
Her choice to sell the rest of her life for a sum of gold was not just because of her greed for wealth. As one of the best graduates of the Ring Tower, she had a clear plan for her life and knew how to seize every moment.
A fleeting opportunity.
"It's not yet time."
During the jolting of the carriage, Count Lyon looked out the window at the restless night and said softly:
"The Capetian family will always be His Majesty's most loyal subjects. I have sworn to my Majesty to dedicate everything to him. We cannot foolishly fight against the Sun King at the height of his power. Under such sunshine, we must be loyal and docile."
"However, there is an undercurrent simmering in the kingdom."
Runa held the hand of her lover, who was thirty years older than her, and whispered:
"The brighter the light of the glorious sun, the thicker the shadow behind it. How many people worship him, and how many people want him to fall. We must be loyal to the Sun King, but which king can live forever?
What about eternity?
Leon, on the night when I gave myself completely to you, you personally promised that I would wear that crown, Fraser would also wear a purple robe and step onto the throne, and my and your child would become his
Heir."
"Be patient, Runa."
The earl patted his lover's waist gently and gently, picked up a book at his hand, read it in front of his eyes, and said:
"Just like my father's life experience, what we need now is an opportunity and a noble person."
The psychic master nodded and said no more.
But she glanced at the book in the earl's hand and found that it was not a history or political book.
That is a scripture.
From the Holy Light Church that has recently emerged in Transia, well, what a beautiful faith, it is most suitable for spiritually impoverished Plantagenets to read.
——
"I really didn't expect that not even the sea could stop the messenger of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, but could you please be a little more low-key the next time you show up? Those sea elves almost thought you were going to launch a king-assassination campaign against their prince.
Already."
In the VIP cabin of the "Storm Fang", Murphy looked at the three earth priests in front of him with a helpless expression, whose faces were tattooed with fanatical runes.
He said to the three silver dwarf messengers:
"So is there anything important that cannot be discussed until I set foot on the mainland? Do you have to use this dangerous method, or are you actually deliberately provoking the elves?"
"It's just an important matter, Your Excellency. The Supreme Lord requires us to deliver the treasure to you as quickly as possible as proof of the fulfillment of the agreement."
The leading earth priest took off the box chained to his body, handed his hands to Murphy, and said loudly:
"The Temple of Gaia has lived up to its trust. The three artifacts you customized in Silver Castle have been made. Please accept them."
"So fast?"
Murphy looked at the three boxes handed to him in surprise and said:
"I thought you needed some time."
"This is the will of the Mother Goddess. When our craftsmen forged these three artifacts, they received the assistance of the Mother Goddess Gaia. The entire forging process went as smoothly as with divine help."
The earth priest sighed:
"I never thought that the forging of artifacts would be so easy and simple. This is obviously because the Mother Goddess expects these three items to play important enough roles in the subsequent war. In addition, the Supreme Lord asked me to help him with a message
Words to you."
The priest took a step forward, coughed, and whispered:
"The granddaughter of the Supreme Lord is about to get married in a few months. Lord Ofger doesn't want the groom to be late or suffer accidental injuries. He asks his most trusted vampire friend to help him realize this wish."
"Huh, grandpa is worried about his grandson, so why do you still say this in a roundabout way?"
Murphy complained:
"Although I don't like that short guy Loren very much, if this is a request from Silver Castle, then I will do my best to complete it. Speaking of which, do I need to send gifts to Loren's wedding?"
"The silver dwarves will not invite outsiders to their wedding, Your Excellency, so we appreciate your kindness."
The earth priest grinned and said:
"Lord Orvger also said that he promised not to get involved in the feud between Transia and Marshal Loren, but if you want to take Loren's head, at least let the Silver Heart family leave the inheritance first.
"
"understood!"
Murphy also smiled, reached out and took the wooden box in front of him and opened it in his hand. A bloody straight-edged sword lay quietly inside, reflecting a sharp edge in the light of the cabin.
He reached out and touched the edge of the straight-edged knife and asked:
"Does it have a name?"
"The Mother Goddess gave this weapon a divine name."
The earth priest said with enthusiasm and respect:
"The Mother Goddess calls it the 'Night Guard'. She hopes that the owner of this weapon will become the light of order under midnight, just like you!"
