Chapter 75 Fate

The news of Reggie's expulsion actually came from the enemy.

This is really a great irony.

How much does the king hate him? Doesn't he even want to send a letter?

Reggie was distraught, but Sophia had already sent the ransom.

"One million and two thousand pounds of grain, I gave you an extra 20,000 pounds, which is enough for Sean and the auxiliary minister to eat these days."

"You are so generous, Your Highness Princess." Reggie seemed to have been struck by lightning, his expression and behavior became stiff and numb.

"Stop talking nonsense. If the count is correct, release him immediately!"

"Okay, let them go. There's also Butcher the Cow Eater. What do you want?"

"No, just do whatever you want with him."

"I'd better give it back to you together, there's no use if I keep it." Lei Shi's tone was like a robot, his soul had already left his body.

Erwin brought Prince Sean and the other prisoners over. The moment he saw Sophia, Prince Sean cried.

He has lost weight and is much older. His beard and hair make him look like a middle-aged man.

The handover process went very smoothly. Reggie didn't say a word. Even when it came time to say goodbye, Reggie simply waved his hand.

Seeing Reji's appearance, Sophia seemed to feel sympathy. Before leaving, she came to Reji and whispered: "I know your situation, and I want to give you some help."

"Help me?" Reggie looked at Sophia numbly.

"If you are willing, I will advise my father and let him take you and your territory in."

"Take it in?" Reggie slowly turned his face to Prince Sean. From his face, you could see the sworn hatred, "Are you sure your brother can let me go?"

"If you refuse to surrender to the Bayer Kingdom, Sean will not let you go. He will not forget this shame. He will soon launch a new war on Shattering Snow City."

Reggie was startled, but these words rekindled his confidence.

War? That doesn't sound so scary.

"I can defeat you twice, and I can defeat you a third time," Reggie's soul seemed to have returned to his body, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, I wish you a safe journey."

Sophia left with everyone, and Reggie immediately returned to the castle and began to discuss countermeasures with the Grand Bachelor.

"This is not a bad thing," Reggie expressed his thoughts. "Without the shackles of the kingdom, maybe I can do everything better, I can make new laws, and I can have more children.

People, I can even take in more wizards, elves and orcs, I can do whatever I want..."

"What you said is very correct, my lord," Batchelor was thinking of reasonable words, "but I think you can listen to the experiences of other lords so that you can make more preparations for the future."

"Other lords? Expelled lords?"

"Yes, my lord."

Bacello lists three lords in total.

The first is Canteroro III, the lord of Jinshui City. Jinshui City was expelled by the Liusha Kingdom eight years ago and was besieged by the Benlang Kingdom and the Bayer Kingdom that year. Canteroro III led all the people to rise up to resist.

, three months later, Jinshui City was captured, the Bayer Kingdom obtained the land of Jinshui City, the Benlang Kingdom obtained the population of Jinshui City, and Canterolo III died in battle at the head of the city.

The second is Cordinan IV, the lord of Black Dragon County. Black Dragon County was expelled by the Kingdom of Dier fifteen years ago and was successively besieged by seven surrounding countries. Cordinan IV finally chose to seek refuge in the neighboring Kingdom of Genting and was eventually defeated.

King Yunding was executed in the royal capital.

The third one is Jinjier IX, the lord of Evergreen City. Evergreen City was expelled by Liuyi Kingdom seventeen years ago and immediately surrendered to Tianxing Kingdom. Three years later, the Jinjier family was brutally exterminated, with more than seventy family members

No one was spared.

Choosing to resist means death, choosing to surrender means death, resisting first and then surrendering means death.

Reggie, who was sitting on the chair, softly hummed a song from his previous life: "Ah, what a painful realization..."

According to Bachelot's memory, it was difficult for the expelled lords to find a chance to survive, because they had already left a mark of disobedience on their bodies. The surrounding kingdoms liked their land, but they did not like their untamed subjects, regardless of whether they

No matter what choice you make, your fate is destined to be tragic.

Although he suffered such a serious blow, Reggie was still not discouraged.

"Smashing Snow City is different. We only have two neighboring countries, one is the Lion Country and the other is the Bayer Country. The peace-loving Lion Country should not attack us easily. We only need to concentrate on dealing with the Bayer Country.

."

Batchelor said: "Perhaps the Lion Country will not launch a war against us, but it will block our trade. No Lion Country caravan can legally enter your territory, which is equally fatal to us.

"

Batchelor was right, the Lion Country was very heavily dependent on trade, especially industrial raw materials, and almost entirely relied on Nelson's caravan.

"But we still have a port," Reggie said, "Ryan Country cannot ban our overseas trade."

"This may be another problem," Batchelor sighed. "The news of Shattering Snow City's expulsion will soon spread overseas, and overseas kingdoms are likely to be spying on our land."

The coastline is also a border. If the enemy comes, I'm afraid a navy will have to be formed.

"It's not that bad, it must not be that bad." It couldn't be said whether it was blind confidence or self-comfort, Reggie kept repeating this sentence.

This time, Batchelor did not panic. Instead, he believed what Reggie said. This was a great opportunity for Reggie to get rid of his constraints.

Reggie followed the habit of his predecessor and wrote down the pros and cons on two pieces of paper.

Favorable factors: liberal economic and political systems.

Disadvantages: peripheral military threats and trade blockade.

Bacello added one more thing: population loss.

"If we learn that Broken Snow City has been expelled from the kingdom, many residents will choose to leave Broken Snow City," Bachelo said. "I will first ask someone to verify the accuracy of the news. You must try to block all the residents in Broken Snow City."

sources."

It seems that it is not difficult to block the news. Jiawen and the First Army heard some things, but as long as they are given a reasonable explanation, they should not spread rumors everywhere.

There are two most critical tasks at the moment, one is life reserves and the other is war reserves.

To put it bluntly, it is food and weapons.

I look forward to Nelson's caravan appearing as soon as possible. Although that damn profiteer is disgusting, he has now become Reggie's life-saving straw.

Reggie and Barcello were still discussing their next plan, and Tyr came to the castle to report the results of the search to Reggie.

"Sir, I think I have found the trace of Creed."

Korede, the Punisher, and Reggie almost forgot about these cancers.

"Sir," Tell said, "I have received some news that they will do something soon, something big."

Reggie smiled and said: "I know what they want to do, it's time to close the net."
