www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!

After meeting with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom Marquis, Prince Montenegro and his wife hurriedly left the imperial capital and boarded the special plane returning to the north. According to the original plan, there were still three days of travel, but they left early.

It was said that the war situation in Longbei Province had changed, so he had to go back to deal with it.

In fact, the real schedule that both William V and Prince Montenegro knew was to end today.

However, the war in Longbei Province has indeed changed. With the mediation of the prince's special envoy, the Ren Zhonglin faction and the Sun faction reached a temporary ceasefire agreement.

Basically, except for Lu Ming who occupied the original Nanping and Wanzhou roads that had been included in the Zhili Province of the Principality, the remaining thirteen roads in the Longbei Province were divided into two, with Ren Zhonglin's faction occupying five. Sun's faction occupies the Eight Roads, but Ren Zhonglin's faction controls the economically developed areas around the provincial capital. Therefore, the actual economy, population, etc. of the two sides are similar. Ren Zhonglin still has a slight advantage, but Sun's faction nominally controls a wider area. , in fact, under the big warlords on both sides, the small warlords are now more centrifugal.

The Dao in Longbei Province has a larger population than the Dao in Anshan. Adding in the underreported population, each Dao has an average of about three million.

Nowadays, the Northern Territory has been divided into four major forces. Ren Zhonglin, Sun Jia, Qi Huaide, and Han Renwang all have a territory and population of less than half a province. They are all about the same strength. In theory, they are all Allies of the Principality of Montenegro.

There is also the Miao Baifeng Group in Gouan Anshan City, which is equivalent to a vassal of the principality.

There are also the remnants of Liu Bangchang who are huddled in Shenglundo, the border land in the far north, the remnants of An Mingyuan in the border land in the northwest of Anshan, and many border tribes that have not been included in effective management, which the principality does not want to touch for the time being. place.

This is the current situation in the Northern Territory.

After returning to Montenegro, Lu Ming sent envoys to Ren Zhonglin and the Sun family respectively, inviting Ren Zhonglin and Sun Gan, the head of the Sun family, to Montenegro for peace talks, hoping that the two sides would sign a permanent peace agreement.

At the same time, Qi Huaide and Han Renwang were also invited to Montenegro.

Prepare the five parties to sign some kind of covenant to advance together and retreat together.

……

In the Western Region, the city-state coalition did not march eastward to attack the central city-states such as Huoluo. Instead, they quarreled over the distribution of benefits after the recovery of the Nicolo city-state.

King Baoyue, as well as the city-states of Jiaheluo, Supiluo, Shashicheng, etc., all believed that they had made great efforts to regain the city-state of Nicoluo, and they wanted to get the rewards they deserved.

Until news came, the Sonia Western Frontier Corps dispatched an infantry division and arrived at White Teeth City, a city-state in the southeastern part of the Western Region.

Although Sonia's border defense forces close to the Western Region are basically miscellaneous troops, the three border defense divisions are all equipped with miscellaneous equipment, and there are many border residents, most of whom are Bolognese. Although they are also one of the Western ethnic groups, they are not the same as those of Sonia. An ordinary people, a group of people living in a bitter cold land.

This is the case for the border defense division that entered the Western Regions. More than 60% were Bolognese, and the rest were other ethnic groups from the Western border and mercenaries from the Western Regions.

The border defense division only has more than 10,000 people, which is not the same concept as a division of the Principality of Montenegro.

But even so, they were Sonia's regular army after all. When the news came, many short-sighted city-state lords panicked.

To unite them to fight against the Sonia regular army, there are no responders at all.

After Sonia's border division arrived at White Fang City, they could enter the southern city-state region of King Baoyue more than a hundred kilometers west.

More than three hundred kilometers to the northwest is the territory of the Nicolo city-state.

It’s just that the eastern, central and southern regions of the Western Region are in chaos now. Small lords in some towns take the opportunity to become independent and no longer pay taxes to the missing city-state lords.

……

Nicholas City originally had an airport, and now the engineers of the Petroleum Corps are expanding it.

The Petroleum Corps mobilized an infantry regiment of nearly 4,000 people and has arrived in Nicolo City.

At this time, in the splendid inner city castle of Nicolo City, sitting in the meeting hall, Lu Ming, Feng Qifa, commander of the First Infantry Regiment of the Petroleum Corps, Gao Yaohan, director of the regiment's political training department and several other Montenegrin military and political dignitaries, There are also Nile Son, Nile Son's uncle Nile Hou, Baoyue King, Wang Qiang, Dajialuo and other city-state lords.

Lu Ming's current identity is the plenipotentiary representative of the principality in the Western Regions.

Audrey ended her mission and returned to the "Prince's House" in Anxi. Although she only had two or three months of experience, she had extremely special qualifications. After returning to Anxi, she was specially appointed to serve as the leader of the Anxi Autonomous Territory. The members of the House of Lords became the people with the highest political status in the "King's House".

From Lu Ming's point of view, in the "Wang's House", he was in contact with all classes from top to bottom and felt the changes in society. It was a truly all-round investigation, which was more reliable than looking at various materials sent by his subordinates. Much.

As for the Western Region, although it is unlikely that the Sonians will enter the Western Region in large numbers due to the constraints of the Grifenni frontline legions, their border guard corps located on the border of the Western Region must still lose their arrogance in order to promote peace. .

I no longer act covertly as a representative of Yellow River Trading Company.

"The area around West Black Mountain Fort will be officially accepted by the Principality as an enclave of the Principality and the West Black Mountain Fort Special Administrative Region. Currently, the military and political affairs of the administrative region will be temporarily handled by me." Lu Ming's words were nothing short of earth-shattering.

Lords of the city-states, look at me and I’ll look at you.

No matter what they thought, Lu Ming continued: "It seems that this border defense division of the Sonia people must be destroyed. Of course, we will still use the sharp eyesight of our coalition forces and volunteers. In addition, we must wait for him to invade our land. ”

The city-state lords, except Nilezi, were even more silent.

King Baoyue's eyes flickered, and after a long while he said: "Is it better to negotiate peace? On behalf of your lord, after all, the principality is far away from here..."

Lu Ming smiled: "Yes, we will eventually negotiate for peace and use fighting to promote peace. You don't have to worry."

Several city-state lords said nothing. Not to mention the current Sonia border guards, you can't beat them. Even if you can defeat them, if you really **** off the Sonia people, the entire Western Region will not be able to stop them. Stay with the torrent of steel!

Ni Luo Zi suddenly said: "On behalf of your lord, I am willing to lead all the people of Ni Luo City to surrender to His Highness the Prince. I hope that His Highness the Prince will not dislike me for being ignorant and allow me to follow His Highness the Prince as a vassal." Beside."

There is no doubt that for Nirozi, this may be the only chance to preserve his mastership of the city-state of Niro.

Not to mention that the city-state lords in the coalition army are eyeing the land and population of the Nicolo city-state, there are also deadly enemies such as the **** Huluo who are preparing to make a comeback, and there are also the Sonia army pressing the border, etc.

As far as the power of the restoration of Nicolo is concerned, the Nirozi do not have an advantage. There are collateral royal families, large resistance leaders, and lords of the large towns of Nicolo, all vying for dominance in the restoration of the nation. power or independence.

For example, his cousin Nilehou, who now has a strong army and horses, is his biggest opponent for the throne.

Nirozi has even become a thorn in the eyes of many "allies", and many people wish he would disappear silently.

Ni Luozi’s words caused the other city-state lords to start whispering among themselves.

Nile Hou's eyes flashed, but he remained silent. He was in his early fifties and rarely expressed his opinions. He knew at a glance that the city was very deep.

King Baoyue said with a smile: "Your Excellency Niluozi, this, then our Western Free City-State Alliance will no longer exist."

Nicholas City State, originally the leader of the Free City-State Alliance, surrendered to the Principality of Montenegro, and the entire Western Region City-State Alliance naturally collapsed. This would be something unprecedented in thousands of years, and no one knew the great changes that would follow. What has become.

Wang Qiang sighed and said: "Ever since the Sonia people supported Hunhuoluo to attack the city of Nicolo and massacre the Nicolo royal family, the city-state alliance has existed in name only. It was not His Excellency Nirozi who destroyed the city-state alliance, let alone The Principality of Montenegro, but the Sonia people, King Baoyue, am I right?"

Wang Qiang, as the Lord of Supiluo, had already changed his name in Zhongzhou. At this time of crisis, he knew that he could only advance and retreat with the Montenegro people. Once the Montenegro people were expelled from the Western Region, he and his family were shattered to pieces.

Although the city-state lords all knew his position, what he said was true and it was difficult for others to refute it.

In fact, comparing the actions of the Sonia people in the Western Region, including the rumors of atrocities in the Gede area, with the Montenegro Principality's business methods in the Western Region, everyone hopes that the Principality of Montenegro can resist the Sonia people.

But this hope is too slim.

Lu Ming observed the expressions of the city leaders and smiled slightly: "Let's discuss this matter again. Let's continue to talk about peaceful coexistence with the Sonia people. What kind of peace agreement do you hope to reach?"

The city-state lords immediately became active and offered opinions in a flurry.

……

After coming out of the meeting hall, Lu Ming returned to his castle.

The inner city of Nicolo City is a complex of castle buildings and the residence of the Nicolo royal family.

Unlike the southern city-states, the Nicolo nobles did not live in temple buildings.

The inner city castle complex has three of the most magnificent castles, which were originally the inheritance of the three major lines of the Nicolo royal family.

Today there are still two lines, the Nilezi line and the Nilehou lineage.

Another castle is now Lu Ming’s residence.

The three-story castle has a magnificent interior. It is heavily guarded from the gate of the castle. There is a pistol platoon stationed there. They are all female soldiers from the Western Regions who were trained in the Black Mountain Fort. They are the guard platoon prepared for the Prince of Black Mountain Fort. All of them are white-skinned. They are beautiful and have long legs. They are all wearing light blue female soldier uniforms, berets and white gloves. They are all heroic and full of exotic charm.

Lu Ming went straight to the communications room on the third floor and didn't know who he was talking to on the phone.
