Even in Kislev, where transportation is not very developed, the Chosen Ones defeated the mercenaries and the news of saving the Legion spread quickly. After all, this is a major event related to the war situation. Also, for the poor people, God
The chosen ones are by no means bad people, they are sent by the gods to save the world, so the news cannot be kept secret even if it wants to be.
When Catalina learned the news, it was already five days later. Due to the snowstorm blocking the road south, the only way to deliver the letter was by flying crows. It took Grand Duke Cohen two days to draft this letter.
Because he really couldn't find the words to tell the Queen the whole story. He knew that the Snow Queen would be furious. A huge army was ambushed by the mercenary group hired by the nobles of Erlengrad, and they almost died.
It collapsed. If it hadn't been for the little northern lord who came to the rescue at the critical moment, the Northern Army would have been reduced to a pile of bones.
More importantly, as the commander-in-chief of the legion and the queen's agent, at the battle scene, he was unable to effectively organize a defensive counterattack and let a border lord come to the rescue... This was undoubtedly huge for the Duke's identity and status.
blow...
In the Ice Winter Palace, Catalina looked at the note coldly. Rod Lawn, the Chosen One... this name seemed familiar. She remembered hearing it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"This man has been here before, Your Majesty. He is Dennis's father."
Catalina didn't remember until Erin, the high-level witch next to her, reminded her. Yes, he had been here before. In order to conceal the fact that his daughter was a witch, he came here to apologize to her. Why did a small Blackhammer Castle appear?
Two geniuses? Catalina couldn't help but narrow her eyes. She had to re-examine the border fortress that was almost forgotten by the world. What kind of soil allowed it to breed people like the Chosen One and the genius witch?
And now, since the natural leader is in front of him, he must take action. However, Rhodes has become famous after all. A local lord with a high reputation in the legion, a noble lord deeply loved by the soldiers, a
It is not easy for a person who has been blessed by Thor, the God of Thunder, to get rid of him.
Katerina is the queen of Kislev, but this does not mean that she can do whatever she wants. The rule of the kingdom must be based on the trust of the people. If all the Kislev ladies are against the tsar, then no matter how powerful the king is, he will not be able to
He sat on the throne for a long time.
And the people trust the Chosen One... Katarina frowned. He knew that with Rhode's current reputation, directly getting rid of him would definitely arouse the anger of the people. Doing such a thing at the center of the Erengrad rebellion
, is obviously irrational. But it cannot be allowed to develop. The reputation of a chosen one with outstanding military exploits will skyrocket among the people. It won’t take long for the entire Kislev people to know this northern lord.
.If the northern lord named Rhodes is not under control in the future, as long as he calls, many people will definitely respond to him... Although it seems that the chosen son of God has no rebellious intentions at present, the queen must be careful.
Be wary of anyone who might become the overlord of one side.
Fortunately, his daughter is still at the magic academy... Catalina thought to herself, with Dennis as a hostage, she has an important bargaining chip in her hands. But no matter what, this little lord named Rhodes is still a big deal.
An stable Miaozi can be seen from the fact that he concealed that his daughter is a witch...
The top priority is to find a way to monitor Rhodes. According to the past practice, the secret police are dispatched. They are like the blood flowing inside the kingdom, maintaining the stability of the country and providing a steady stream of intelligence to the Ice and Snow Winter Palace.
, and now, they have a new mission - she will send her most capable assistant, place him next to the chosen one, and monitor his every move.
After selecting the manpower, Catalina walked to the huge map of the kingdom. The momentum of the Erengrad rebellion had reached an uncontrollable level. The rebels had won many battles, and many local lords had even begun to
Wavering, whether to continue to support the Tsar...
The regular army of the kingdom has been in peace for a long time, and its combat effectiveness has declined. When encountering those mercenary groups whose profession is to kill people, they were completely defeated. For this reason, she must go to the front line to supervise the battle in person.
…
Rhodes rubbed his sore shoulders and walked into Lord Aubrey's tent. His old neighbor had been in a weak state since he was injured in the last battle. Perhaps he had been pampered for a long time and had too many maids around him.
Suddenly, his body couldn't bear the severe external trauma. Rhodes came to visit him. After all, when Black Hammer Castle was besieged by the beastmen, it was the Iron Ring Castle that sent troops to help Black Hammer Castle relieve the siege, regardless of Aubrey.
Whether he was sincere or not, his troops were dispatched. Based on this alone, Rhodes' concern was necessary.
Entering the big tent, several maids were feeding Aubrey medicine by the bed. Alves was guarding the side. Among the entire Iron Ring Fort army, Aubrey was probably the only one who regarded Alves as a normal person.
The lord himself. In the years when Dean was still a minor, Alvis was in charge of the finance and daily affairs management of the entire Iron Ring Castle, and could be said to be Aubrey's right-hand man.
Seeing Rhodes coming in, several maids carefully helped Aubrey to the lounge chair, and then went to prepare drinks and snacks for the visitors.
"The injury doesn't look like it's getting better."
Rhodes walked over and took a look at Aubrey's injuries. A deep gash was opened on his chest near his stomach by a machete. No medicine could stop the wound from festering and speaking. Rhodes suspected that Bloody Hand hired
The soldiers used poison, but the pharmacist came to see it and said there was no trace of poison.
In desperation, Alves could only ask the doctor to continue treating with conventional methods. In this ignorant and primitive era, medical technology was not developed. In many cases, barbers were part-time surgeons. You can imagine how bad such treatment was.
Even the lords cannot escape the fate of inferior treatment methods.
Rhodes did not have a medical background and knew nothing about medical skills, so he could not help. He could only say some words of comfort and respect.
"Rhode, my old friend, I have to say that I envy your body very much. Every time you are injured, you can recover well. If I can't, can you tell me how you do it?
"
Aubrey was lying on the chair, staring at the strong Rhodes in front of him, as if he wanted to see through him. People often feel that things are so precious only when they lose something, just like the iron ring in front of them.
The Lord of the Castle longed for a healthy and normal body after losing his health. However, had he not encountered this incident, I'm afraid he would still be as addicted to enjoyment as before, surrounded by young maids...
"How did you do it? Haha, do you believe the rumors?"
Rhodes returned jokingly.
"So Father Bear really gave you an invincible body?"
"I'm not invincible. Everyone has seen me injured. It was a serious injury, but as long as I have a good rest, I can heal quickly in the next few days."
"I really envy you. If only Esun had given me half of what he gave to you. With half your physical fitness, I wouldn't be suffering from illness here."
Aubrey sighed. His eyes softened, and a lot of the past arrogance slowly melted away at this moment. Yes, without a healthy body, no matter how much wealth you have, it will be in vain, because you will not be able to enjoy it at all.
"We can't ask the gods to do anything. They want to bless us. That's the luck of mankind. Without the gods, this world would have been destroyed ten thousand times." Rhodes joked, "Of course, Esun will not bless a maid who has been waiting all day long.
Surrounded by people, I am afraid that most of your energy has been consumed on the bed. When you wake up the next morning, you have forgotten who slept next to you last night."
"Hahaha……"
Aubrey laughed and said that he did not deny his arrogant life, but now, he really does not want to live that kind of life anymore.
"Let's get down to business, Rhodes, do you think the Noble Alliance can win this Erengrad rebellion?"
Alves drove away the maids on the left and right, and there were only three of them left in the big tent.
"Difficult...almost impossible."
Rhodes glanced at Aubrey and Alves. In terms of personal friendship, he had a better relationship with the dwarf, but Alves was Aubrey's man after all. Who would betray his brother? Plus Aubrey
With his trust in him, Alves had no reason to be disloyal to his brother. Therefore, Rhodes also regarded Aubrey as half of his own.
"Why? Regular armies from various places were defeated one after another, and the mercenaries of the Noble Alliance even approached the capital city of Kislev. If the Snow Queen had not cast a blizzard in time, the mercenary group might have already arrived at the city by this time."
Aubrey said.
"So you think the Erengrad rebels will win?"
Rhodes said.
In the silent tent, there was only the sound of charcoal burning behind the brazier. Aubrey and Alves looked at Rhodes without speaking.
"I think it's difficult...Brothers, the Queen's main forces haven't been dispatched yet, the Krem Corps, the Shooting Corps, the Hussars, the Griffin Corps, all the kingdom's main forces haven't been dispatched yet, why should you say Erlen?"
Will the noble alliance of Grad win the final victory? In fact, every time Kislev faces the threat of Chaos, it relies on these elite troops to achieve the final victory. The armies gathered by the lords from all over the world are just the beginning. In my case,
It seems that the purpose of Katarina's launch of a national war and an all-out war against Erengrad is not to really expect these local military alliances to defeat the main force of Erengrad's rebels, but to use this name to test the loyalty of the lords in various places.
Du. Look, Rock Split Castle and Warlow Castle revealed their true colors at the beginning of the conscription. Catalina will not let them go. This is the true purpose of our queen."
Rhodes picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and continued -
"Of course, the development of the war may have been beyond Katarina's expectations. She did not expect that the mercenaries were so powerful, so she had no choice but to dispatch Kislev's main army to destroy them. Even she herself came. Once the lords from various places
If they are defeated one by one, a real bloody storm will come."
"That being said, Erengrad is extremely wealthy and can recruit a steady stream of troops to fight against the queen."
Aubrey said.
"Even so, there is no chance. No matter how rich Erengrad is, it cannot be compared with the entire Kislev. At present, most of the lords still surrender to the Snow Queen. The entire southern territory belongs to her. As long as the shooting
Once the army and the griffon army are dispatched, more lords will inevitably switch to the Queen's command. Moreover, the real decisive battle may only take one battle. The elite wing cavalry and shooting army will definitely destroy the mercenary defense. At that time,
, no matter how rich Erengrad is, it will not help. Moreover, you have all overlooked one point. If the Ice Queen blocks the port of Erengrad, then there will be no need to fight this big rebellion..."
Rhodes said with a smile. In fact, he had thought about these analyzes early on. After all, the noble rebellion was also an opportunity for him. Dennis was still studying at the Kislev Magic Academy. On the surface, he was studying to become a frost witch. In fact,
She is the hostage of the Snow Queen... If the noble alliance can really win, Rhodes hopes to join them. After all, as a hero on the battlefield, he will also have the power to rescue his daughter...
