After the earl who led the way left, Angelina leaned in Locke's ear and whispered: "Should we go to the Kingdom of Gangze again?"
The scent of Angelina's mouth and lips breathed on Locke's ears, but Locke's heart was not disturbed.
These intimacy tricks, Angelina has played several times a day for the past two months, and Locke is used to it.
"It seems that the relationship between the Kingdom of Gunze and us is not good, is it really okay?" Locke pointed to the garrison forces on the two sides that were evenly matched, full of gunpowder.
"Just ask Brother Wang, it's okay, I think it's okay." Angelina hugged Locke's neck, her face didn't matter.
The three borders of the Kingdom of Jose, the Kingdom of Gangze, and the Kingdom of Faustine belong to the southwest of the Kingdom of Faustine geographically.
The defenders in charge of the western defense line are the defenders of the Kingdom Shield.
As Faustan's land area greatly increased, the forces of the four major legions also expanded, from the original five corps to six corps.
On the defensive line in the west of the defender, there are only two corps stationed, and this border line is one of the garrison points.
The commander of the Defence Legion, the Marquis of West Asia, Locke also had several conversations with the Lord Marquis when he was in the royal capital. The West Asia family served the royal family completely, and Locke had a good impression of the Marquis of West Asia, one of the four marquises.
Stationed here is the Second Infantry Regiment of the Defence Corps. The commander of the regiment is a brave and capable middle-aged knight, and Gold Sia is his full name.
"Your Royal Highness, the flame communication from the royal capital will be completed immediately." Gold Sia stroked his chest and saluted.
"En." Holding Locke with one hand, Angelina focused on observing the magicians who accompanied the army to construct the magic circle.
There is a sequence of learning, and there is a specialization in the art industry. Angelina is a magical genius, but in the field of magical communication, her expertise is in the teleportation area, and the communication is built in front of you. The array is holographic entity communication.
Inheriting Charlo’s magical heritage, Faustine’s domestic magic power has advanced to you by leaps and bounds. The high-level apprentice is no longer only Angelina’s previous mentor, but has broken through to four, plus Angelina. Na herself has already reached as many as five.
Two of them were former Charlot magicians, who didn't want to leave their homes and leave the old land, and became Faustans, and were awarded the title of Viscount by His Majesty the King.
In a short while, above the magic circle, a holographic projection of His Majesty Kensell came, the flame curtain, and Kensell's facial expressions were vivid.
"What? Anything?" King Kensell said concisely.
Building a magic circle is very valuable, and often there are only three hourglasses.
"Brother, we want to go to the Kingdom of Gunze!" Angelina jumped out and smiled with Locke's hand.
"Gunze Kingdom?" Prince Kensell raised his head and looked forward, thinking.
There, on the border between the two countries, there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the two corps of both sides.
. . . . . .
When the delegation set out again, in order to consider the relatively tense situation between the two countries in recent years, the number of people was greatly reduced.
"Didn't your brother say that there have been a lot of conflicts with the Kingdom of Gangze recently, and you still want to go on an envoy?" On the carriage, Locke asked Angelina helplessly.
"Because I like it." Angelina said with a smile.
As for trouble, Locke has always tried his best to avoid it. He doesn't want to be caught in unnecessary trivia.
But since Angelina wants to go, Locke will accompany her.
With Locke's current quasi-knight-level strength, as long as it is not an established army to encircle and suppress him, he has not paid attention to the general dangers.
Don't forget, in Angelina's pet bag, there is also a high-level Warcraft-level scorpion dragon lying.
In the envoy, His Majesty Kensell has not arranged many masters, and there is only one high-level attendant-level guard captain.
"I heard that the most famous in the Kingdom of Gunze is the'Iron Armored Army'?" Angelina knew what Locke was interested in and provoked the topic.
"Well, I've heard of it too." Locke nodded.
The heavy knights of the niche alliance, the light cavalry of the Kingdom of Jose, the iron armour of the Kingdom of Steelze, and the jungle wanderers of the Kingdom of Karaman are all powerful arms of the neighboring countries of Faustin, and their combat power cannot be underestimated.
"I don't know which is strong or weak between this ‘Iron Armor’ and the ‘Heavy Armor’ of the Marquis of Torrida in the niche alliance?" Locke exclaimed.
The neat army formation, strict discipline, and heavy aura, the iron armour of the Gangze Kingdom, gave them a disarming force before the delegation arrived.
Speaking of the contradiction between the Kingdom of Steelze and Faustin, it can be traced back to the time when Charlo just fell. At that time, the Kingdom of Steelze, whose overall strength was not weaker than Faustin, wanted to grab the issue of the distribution of Charlo. A cup of pie.
However, the emergence of the land knight Roma, the deterrence of the suzerain Omor Empire, and the strong attitude of the former King Faustine made this conflict of interests come to an end.
In the following years, the conflict between the two sides was deliberately suppressed by the rulers, but some small frictions were inevitable.
The one who came to the convoy of the embassy was a mighty knight in full body armor, with a spear in his hand, who looked like a general.
The envoy came with King Faustin's credential. This general with the strength of a high-level attendant did not dare to neglect, and soon sent someone to pass the news back.
Half a day later, the delegation was allowed to enter.
A team of hundreds of people walked on both sides of high mountains and cliffs.
I thought that the mountainous area in the northwest of the niche alliance was already very difficult to go, but I didn't expect the Kingdom of Steelze to be even worse.
Locke found that the more remote the place, the tougher and tougher the people who live.
The Gangze Kingdom was comparable to Faustin more than ten years ago, and it is also related to the folk customs here.
Unfortunately, the continuous Kanulu Mountains have blocked the communication and contact between Gunze and the eastern countries, making it difficult for it to use its powerful military power to make any progress in the east.
Able to hoard a corps of soldiers on the frontier of Faustine, it must have consumed a lot of logistics in the Kingdom of Gangze.
However, all things have advantages and disadvantages.
The Kingdom of Gangze can have the "Iron Armored Army" well-known for its neighboring countries, relying on the precious ore buried under the continuous Kanulu Mountains.
Every year, tens of thousands of miners wander in the Kanulu Mountains and make a huge contribution to the steel export of the Gangze Kingdom.
These ores are mainly ordinary iron and copper ores. There are few gold and silver veins. As for the magic mineral deposits, they are almost zero. Therefore, they have not attracted excessive attention from the Holy Tower and the Knights' Palace.
The export countries of these minerals are mainly for the Faustan Kingdom in the east, the Jose Kingdom in the south, the Zhungeer tribal alliance in the north, and Theramore mountain people in the northwest.
There are no permanent enemies, only permanent benefits.
Don't look at Faustin and the Kingdom of Steelze. Small frictions continue every year and they compete with each other. However, the impact on business and trade is not significant.
After all, everyone hasn't got rid of their skin.
"We mainly get in touch with the Marquis of Chegesi of the Kingdom of Steelze? Then submit the letter of credence?" Locke asked in the carriage.
A lot of common sense and the international situation about the Kingdom of Steel Ze, Locke, under the popularization of a staff officer, made it clear.
The Marquis of Chegesi is the one in charge of military affairs among the several Marquis of the Gangze Kingdom. It stands to reason that he is the biggest obstacle to this trip because of the increasingly intensified border relations between the two countries.
"Yes, this marquis is still a stubborn main combat faction." Angelina nodded.
"Then let's go find him?" Locke was speechless.
"The contradiction between our two countries is nothing at all in the high-level view. The Marquis peeped at the Andoha Basin in Monstock." Angelina laughed.
Monstock is a small country in the southwest of the Kingdom of Steelze, with a population of more than one million, which is only comparable to the niche alliance.
But this country occupies the fertile Andoha Basin, where not only is it suitable for growing food, but it also grows a wide variety of magic materials.
Locke nodded to express his understanding. There are two forces controlling the Holy Tower and the Knights Hall. The Gangze Kingdom wants to gain control of the Andoha Basin through war, which is tantamount to a dream.
Unless they can have multiple first-level knights, magicians, or a second-level powerhouse in their country within a short period of time to increase their voice.
Since the means of war cannot be directly used, then it takes a refined game, the influence of all parties, deterrence, and seemingly equal transactions to be reached.
There are many types of battles. The killing and killing of the soldiers of the two countries is only one. There is also an economic battle that Locke has never heard of.
Locke admits that he is not good at using these brain activities, so he simply pushed Angelina to the trivial things that he would pay attention to and complete during the mission, so he had a good time and made a trip.
This kind of unpredictable style has caused Angelina to roll her eyes frequently.
After the continuous Kanulu Mountains, there is a plateau with a slightly flat terrain. In Locke’s view, the life of the residents here is no different from the civilians of the Faustan Kingdom. It is unreasonable for some Faustans to call the people of the Gangze Kingdom ‘barbaric mountain people’.
The high-ranking attendant of the Gangze Kingdom who accompanied them, Locke deliberately found out that this high-ranking attendant had just returned from the war on the plane.
The strength of Locke's quasi-knight-level and the various descriptions of the battles in the world of activating goblins dispelled the ‘doubts’ of this knight of other countries. The real knights are all straight, and this mighty general is one of them.
It didn't take long to have a good chat with Locke and Angelina.
Knights value their companions very much. No matter how rigid the relationship between the two countries is, in the war of planes provoked by the Knights Palace, there are very few situations in which the knights of the two opposing countries pull each other back.
The Temple of Knights is very harsh in punishment for this vicious event.
From this, Locke thought of the four marquis-lords of the Kingdom of Faustine.
They are all knights above high-ranking servants, and there are even formal knight-level existences, but among the four marquis adults, Locke recognizes as a knight, and there is only one Marquis Wood who is far from the power circle of the royal capital.

This chapter is based on the suggestion of a reader friend, but at most that's it. I can't spend too much time in this area, otherwise it will deviate from the main outline.
