In the palace hall of the Yongdong Royal Capital, the fire of the fireplace was already burning.
Compared to the grey castle with distinct seasons, summer here is particularly short, while autumn is more like a trailer for the coming of cold. Before you even have time to change into a light short coat, the cold wind will come quietly again.
Garcia Wimbledon sat upright on the throne in a fox coat, listening to the complaints and demands of the nobles.
She didn't like this palace. The pillars, walls and floors were made of snow-white stone, each of which was polished smoothly and brightly, looking like solid ice.
Despite adding two layers of velvet cushion to the seat, she could still feel the biting chill of the cold iron chair.
This damn house was like it was made of ice, she thought unhappily.
When the situation stabilizes, the first thing to do is to smash all the ground and walls, and then repave them with dark brown granite slabs.
Dear Your Majesty, I hope you can seek justice for me!
A nobleman said with a sad face.
This guy has said a lot before, but in fact he can explain it clearly in just a few words.
It was nothing more than that after the church occupied the capital, some nobles who committed many evil deeds were publicly judged, and the host was Bishop Heather.
Most of them were on the gallows, and this guy was lucky and was sentenced to confiscation of property and distributed equally to the victim civilians.
I can understand your request, and private property cannot be plundered. Carsia pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, but the specific number is difficult to define.That way, if you can provide the financial statement of income and expenditure for the past five years, I can withdraw a portion of the compensation from the seizure at the average.
But the mobs looted my mansion, and these records are probably...
Then I can only compensate according to the notice issued and the title standard.Jiasia interrupted, Look around you, they are all nobles who have been robbed. If you give you more, the others will get one less.What do you think?
That's right, who knows if the number you reported is true!
Why are you talking about? Sir Haron, those golden dragons do not belong to you.
It would be nice to have your share. Look at your accomplices, they can only go to the kingdom of heaven to ask for compensation.
Seeing the nobles around him glaring at him, he had to bow and salute timidly, so he will pay according to your standards. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.
Very good, Carcia smiled slightly, next.
I wish you goodbye, Your Majesty, a white-haired old man walked out of the crowd and stroked his chest respectfully, and the Yinlu family emblem on his chest shone brightly.
Marquis Bode, I remember your territory was not attacked by church mobs.
Yes, he nodded and replied, it was not that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't... Manxueling was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and my knights blocked the invasion of the thugs.But my child was not so lucky. He happened to be on duty in the palace on the day of the riot. In order to protect the former queen, he was not only killed by believers, but his body was also hung on the city gate.It was not until you arrived in Yongdong that he was freed from humiliation.
What a tragic story, Carcia pretended to be sad and sighed, So what do you need me to do?
The person who killed him was called the Butcher, and now he has become the leader among the remaining rebels.This group of people are hiding in the desperate mountains to the north, and I want to avenge my children.The Marquis stated calmly.
But I don’t have many troops under my command. On weekdays, it is difficult to separate people from patrolling, guarding the city walls and granaries to find such a hundred exiled thugs in the wilderness.She shook her head and expressed regret. And once it is winter, the mountains are blocked with heavy snow, and they will not get supplies, and they will sooner or later freeze to death. Why should you be in a hurry?
Only by killing the murderer can I gain peace, Your Majesty.I don't have to bother you to send warriors to search for the rebels.There are many natural caves at the foot of the mountain range, and they must have hid there.However, the entrances of most caves are extremely narrow. If they are blocked with gravel, it will be difficult for even knights to attack. I hope you can provide me with alchemy items that can blow up the city gates, and I can do the rest myself.
He wants snow powder?Jiasia frowned. This thing has powerful power and is a killer weapon that can change the situation of the battle and must not be circulated.
Just as she was about to refuse, the other party said again, if you can agree to my request, I am willing to return to the palace to serve you, and the Yinlu family will fully support you in charge of the Kingdom of Eternal Winter.
This sentence made Kassia beat him slightly. When the church executed the queen, it also killed a group of important officials.
Marquis Bode is quite famous here. If he can be appointed as the Prime Minister of the Imperial Palace and gather the remaining nobles together, it can make up for the dilemma of administrative difficulties to a certain extent.
This request was not too much. She thought for a moment and finally made a decision, but I cannot give you the alchemy gunpowder directly. When you need it, I will send a special alchemist to help you blow up the hole.
……
After the court meeting ended, Garcia returned to the back room, and Ferry came forward and handed her a cup of hot fruit wine. Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty, all the nobles have turned to you.In this way, even if you don’t rely on the Wolf King, you can slowly swallow the entire Eternal Winter Kingdom.
If there is no church, the Queen shrugged.
The church's actions of depriving the nobles of inheritance pushed them all aside. With the support of this group of people and the sharp weakening of the real power faction in the past, it was not difficult to gain a foothold in the royal capital.
However, if she wants to control Yongdong, the people here are still very affected by the church. The black sail soldiers who sent out to sweep away several other big cities were attacked by civilians and believers.
Therefore, it is extremely important to be an alliance with the wolf. It not only can we resist the church together, but also weaken the influence of the church by transporting people.
As for those stubborn civilians, just kill them all.
By the way, the Wolf King just sent an envoy to send you a letter, and Farrion took out an envelope from his arms, because you were dealing with government affairs at the time, so I did not disturb you.
Jiasia opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and unfolded it, and her expression became solemn.
Is it bad news?
The church sent troops again, and she said in a deep voice that they were heading towards Langxin City by land and had already broken through several temporary defense lines.
What?Farrion stared in disbelief and said, "The Demon Moon is coming soon. Are they planning to ignore the New Holy City?"
Kassia sat back at the desk, frowned and thoughtful.
The church would never give up, but she didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.
If the war begins again in the spring of the next year, her preparations will be much more complete. The enemy clearly does not want to give herself a breather. If she sits silently about the Wolf King's request for help, once the Wolf Heart Kingdom is destroyed, she will not be able to hold on for long.
But this is also an opportunity.
If the church army can be exhausted in Wolf Heart City, and when the evil beasts invade Hermes in a large-scale manner, the enemy will face a disaster of destruction.
They may send more Divine Punishment Army, but she also has powerful weapons like Xue Powder, and the difficult-to-expirate black water of the Styx, evil fire powder, and the towering walls of Wolf Heart City will surely consume a large amount of vitality from the other party.
Thinking of this, Jiasia spoke, and passed me the order to make the Black Sail warrior ready to go to war!This year, we will spend the winter in Wolf Heart City.
