Two hours after the mine collapsed, a report was sent to Hilo.
Shiloh was currently discussing with Rowan about returning to Pontos. Ever since he came to this world, he had been listening to people talk about the power and prosperity of the Pontos Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Pontos was founded by force for hundreds of years.
Herod's father, His Majesty Rody, was the fourth king of this great kingdom.
According to historical records, the founding emperor of the Kingdom of Pontos, Norman Wilf, the Norman Emperor, was the strongest man in human history and a genius military commander. With his strong strength and personal charm, he started from scratch.
, and finally created a powerful country that could compete with desert empires and barbarian tribes.
It has been passed down to this day, and under the rule of the current emperor, His Majesty Rody, the Kingdom of Pontos is still strong and prosperous.
This discussion on returning to Pontos is to find a strong ally in this great country.
"Your Highness, according to the decree of Pontos, the pioneering nobles are not allowed to leave their territory unless summoned by Your Majesty. If Your Highness wants to return to Pontos, you must think of a suitable reason."
"And as a prince, if the recruitment of allies is known to outsiders, there will inevitably be rumors and rumors that slander His Highness."
"We must be cautious."
Under Rowan's reminder, Shiloh couldn't help but start thinking.
Although he is a prince, his predecessor, His Royal Highness, has done too many ridiculous things, otherwise he would not have become the first prince to be named a pioneering noble by Rody and sent out of the royal capital.
Among the seven princes, he ranked third, but he was the least favored one.
The eldest prince, Harold Wilf, is only 30 years old and has outstanding military strength.
The eldest prince, Harold, made great contributions in the army in his early years and was deeply loved by the soldiers. His Majesty Roddy loved him very much and was known as the "bloody lion". Now he has become a general guarding the border and is extremely majestic.
The second prince, Lewis Wilf, is 24 years old, only 7 years older than Hilo.
Her mother is the eldest daughter of the Vorster family, the most powerful noble in the Kingdom of Pontos. This family has influence in all major towns in the Kingdom of Pontos. With such a powerful force behind it, the second prince Lewis is also a strong candidate for the crown prince.
.
Hilo is not as lucky as these two brothers.
His mother was from an ordinary background, just an ordinary little noble. She contracted a serious illness and died when Hilo was 10 years old. Her aristocratic family was unable to provide much support to Hilo.
As for his cheap father, His Highness Roddy...
Shiloh immediately gave a huge thumbs up to the idea of hugging his father's lap. During the trip, His Majesty Roddy didn't even meet Shiloh. It can be expected how angry Roddy was because of his predecessor's escape plan.
.
Moreover, father and son are connected. If His Majesty Rody notices his changes and becomes suspicious, the horrific consequences will not be something Shiloh can afford.
In other words, Shiloh cannot find a way to engage in nepotism.
I didn’t expect that as a prince, I have to fight for my mother. It’s such a damn reality.
After carefully studying his origin, Shiloh rolled his eyes.
"I can't ask my father for help, and I can't help my mother... It's too difficult to find a helper."
"Is it possible...to join forces with the Desert Empire?" Shiloh thought hard and suddenly said this.
As soon as these words came out, Luo Wen was immediately startled. He jumped up in a hurry, looked outside the house, found no one, closed the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness! Don't say such treasonous words again!"
As soon as Shiloh finished speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake. Although the Desert Empire and the Kingdom of Pontos are currently living in peace, they seem to be incompatible with each other, and secretly they are constantly fighting. If they really join forces with the Desert Empire and let others know, they will be placed under arrest immediately.
A charge of treason and collaboration with the enemy!
But even so, he still complained: "This won't work, that won't work either. Father Pin doesn't care about me, and Mother Pin doesn't have that strength. Do you really want me to be embarrassed and beg those nobles?!"
Luo Wen also fell silent, not knowing what to do. After a while, he heard him say: "Your Highness, we should not rush into a big deal. We can consider the matter of allies in the long term."
"This year, His Majesty's birthday is coming soon, and His Highness will definitely return to the royal capital to celebrate His Majesty's birthday. That is the time for us to show off our means."
After Luo Wen reminded him, Shiloh finally remembered that His Highness Rody's birthday would be in a month. If Luo Wen hadn't mentioned it today, he would have forgotten about it.
On this birthday, no matter what, he must return to the royal capital to celebrate his birthday. This is the duty of a son and a minister.
All the expatriate nobles, generals, and celebrities from Pontos will gather in the royal capital to congratulate Rody on his birthday. Even the Free Federation and the Desert Empire will send people to congratulate him. It is not so much a birthday party as this is.
It is a political feast.
Whether you can take this opportunity to find a powerful ally for Stormwind City depends entirely on Hero's ability.
Just when Shiloh was about to leave Rowan and go to rest for a while, the servant's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, there is a sailor outside the council hall asking to see you. He said he came from Gold Coin Island and had important matters to report."
Hearing this, Hilo immediately asked the attendant to call the sailor in. Rowan wanted to leave to avoid suspicion, but Hilo stretched out his hand to hold him back.
"It doesn't matter, the Gold Coin Island is now managed by your little slick Jack. Rowan, please listen."
Not long after, I saw the attendant leading a sailor into the study.
The sailor was sweating profusely and his face was flushed. After seeing Shiloh, he hurriedly knelt down and said, regardless of etiquette, "Your Highness! The mine on Gold Coin Island has collapsed!"
Shiloh, who was still calm and composed at first, his expression condensed and he hurriedly asked: "Land-in? What's the situation now? Are there any casualties?!"
"According to the investigation, we found that the cause of the landslide was that slaves broke through the stone layer while digging."
"Now that the mine has stopped mining, Boss Jack ordered all personnel to leave the mine and take refuge in an open area."
"The specific casualties are not known yet, but more than twenty slaves are missing."
Hearing the sailor's words, Shiloh breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Little Jack did the right thing. Human life is the priority now."
The sailor swallowed, his eyes flickered, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "That's not all, Your Highness, in fact, we have discovered something else..."
"Um?"
"There is a city in the space under the mine!"
Wow!
This time, Hilo couldn't sit still. He jumped up, stared at the sailor closely, and asked, "What did you say? What's under the mine?"
"City, city, we found a city in the space under the mine!"
Underground city!
Shiloh instantly thought of the lizard men hiding underneath.
