Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 452: Hostage
Chapter 452 Hostages
"Your Highness, Good news, Shuss Great Sword Master is back ..." Gennario rushed into the study with an off-white silk, which was a letter eagle message from Silowas Islands.
Oh, Lorist is overjoyed, and stands up: "Bring me to see."
Four years ago, in order to break through and be promoted, Shuss Great Sword Master in Silowas Islands entered the mountains of Silowas Islands to prepare for hard work, leaving a letter saying that he would not return if he did not become a secondary Great Sword Master. Although Lorist was very worried, he immediately sent to the central four Dukedom and fought for two years. After returning, he did not have time to go to Silowas Islands, and forgot about Shuss Great Sword Master for a while. Now that I heard Shuss Great Sword Master return, I was naturally very happy.
The letter was signed by the Silowas Islands Governor Hickard Baron and the soldiers Captain and Golden Knight Pachko of the Guards Guard on the island. The letter said that the team on the island who went to the volcanic area to take the fire crystal mine accidentally provoked the white-headed sea eagle of the magic bird and was besieged. Then Shuss Great Sword Master suddenly appeared and beheaded and killed seven white-headed sea eagles and rescued everyone.
Shuss Great Sword Master is said to have been promoted to Level 2 Great Sword Master from already two years ago. In order to stabilize the realm and realize the world, it naturally spent another two years in the mountains. This time when I came out of the mountain, I encountered the magic bird siege mining team, and helped. After a few days, Shuss Great Sword Master left for Northern Land to meet Lorist.
In addition to Lorist, the high-end combat power of Norton Family is Shuss, Engelich and Great Sword Master, and Reidy also reaches the level of Level 1 Great Sword Master. However, in the eyes of Lorist, the old man Engelich is greedy for fear of death, and accidentally promoted to Level 1 Great Sword Master. Tiantianwo doesn't want to come out to work for the family at home, and he can push and push if there is something. Lorist is very disappointed with him. He doesn't want to care about him in the face of Charade. Anyway, this old man is a Level 1 Great Sword Master in his life. Reidy can easily beat him.
Shuss Great Sword Master is a slave gladiator. All cultivations were fought hard in the arena. The **** Murderous Qi is the heaviest in Great Sword Master that Lorist will ever pass. Although it is Level 1 Great Sword Master, it can compete with the secondary Great Sword Master. Now promoted to the second-level Great Sword Master, it is considered to add a high-end high-end combat power to Norton Family. At least for Reidy, Shuss Great Sword Master is his best opponent at this stage.
...
Tarkel walked into the study, holding a stack of letters and documents in his hand: "His Royal Highness, a great change has taken place in the Central and Southern War."
"What's wrong?" Lorist asked.
Forde Trade Union and the Confederate Army of Central and South Kingdom already lasted for more than four years. The past two years are still the same. In several countries around the southern Gold coastline Chickadee Chamber of Commerce Territory and the coalition forces led by Jigda Kingdom are entangled. On the contrary, Trade Union began to strengthen its defense line after annexing three neighboring countries. The borders with several kingdoms in the central and southern parts of China appeared calm and calm, as if no war had occurred.
"The southernmost Romon Empire and Khawistan Khanate reached an armistice agreement. The war between the two great powers, already, subsided, and Khawistan Khanate suffered a little, giving up a small portion of the original Kalia Kingdom territory to Romon Empire. Biejiang is the boundary. "
Tarkel took a look at the folder in his hand and proceeded to Reported: "Jigda Kingdom annexed seven countries that had been attacked by the Trade Union army all over the world, and the layout increased by two times, and it became a country about the same size as Romon Empire. The next 13 countries finally came to their senses and suspected that it was a conspiracy. They had a fierce conflict and civil strife with Jigda Kingdom, and the Central South Kingdom Coalition was dissolved.
Trade Union announced that it has reached a peace agreement with Jigda Kingdom, recognizing that Territory, the seven countries newly occupied by Jigda Kingdom, owns it, as well as a series of terms such as interoperability of trade routes and joint confrontation with foreign enemies. In addition, Trade Union seems to have passed an interest-free loan of 15 million gold fordes to Jigda Kingdom to develop its newly occupied Territory's livelihood. Because our intelligence personnel could not penetrate the two sides, we did not get the exact information ...
The remaining thirteen kingdoms in the south-central part of the country are now split into two. Five countries adjacent to Trade Union have announced the establishment of the Kingdom of Merencik and are preparing to send envoys to the Trade Union to discuss the truce. It is estimated that they believe that already cannot resist Trade Union and can only unite to protect themselves. They do not want the war to continue.
Eight countries in the south, led by the Kingdom of Jakano, formed alliances and coalition forces against Jigda Kingdom, and resolutely opposed the seven countries that Jigda Kingdom annexed. They elected the great prince of the Kingdom of Jacques Yorkham as the coalition commander, and launched 140,000 troops to attack Jigda Kingdom. Jigda Kingdom is handsome with Fustat Grand Duke(s), and sent 100,000 soldiers to fight with the coalition forces in the original Oldham Kingdom. The two sides fought twice, winning each other.
It is worth noting that our family's Lenmoud Knight(s) is currently following the commander of the coalition, Prince Yorkham. In addition, Trade Union did not send troops to assist Jigda Kingdom according to the agreement reached after the Jigda Kingdom and the Central-Southern Eight Allied Forces fought. Instead, they sent ambassadors to mediate, hoping that the two parties would stop fighting and restore peace in the central and southern regions ... "
The Lorist "Puchi" laughed out loud. This is really a big joke. No one can imagine such a weird change in the Central and South China War situation, which makes people stunned. Originally, the 24 countries of Central and South Africa joined together to fight against Trade Union. I did not expect that one more Jigda Kingdom played the role of an anti-skeleton, and secretly colluded with Trade Union and swallowed up all seven countries.
The remaining Central and South African countries finally understood and split into two groups. One group decided not to surrender and began to negotiate with Trade Union. Another group became angry and angered with Jigda Kingdom, and set the enemy Trade Union to clean up the anti-skeleton Jigda Kingdom regardless of their needs. At this time, the Trade Union, which was originally the enemy, came out to pretend that they would mediate between the two parties. Compassionately demanded to restore peace ... ...
This is so ridiculous, no one would have imagined that the end of the four-year battle between Trade Union and the Central South Kingdom Army would be like this. I knew why it was the same today. Sit down and talk about the loss. After four years of loss, I still had to sit down and talk.
Lorist laughed for a while and stood in front of the Grindia Continent map hanging on the wall. According to the document prompts brought by Tarkel, the situation changes in the south central area were outlined on the map. The territory of Jigda Kingdom, Lorist has to be amazed in the heart, this is really an extremely delicate, long-term strategic layout, and the time is as long as four years.
"His Royal Highness, what's wrong?" Seeing Lorist standing in front of the map for a long time without a word, Tarkel asked curiously.
Lorist shook his head and looked back: "Did you see it, as you said before, the war between Trade Union and the Central South Kingdom Coalition is a big conspiracy, and now the end of this conspiracy already is revealed. Jigda Kingdom also It has become a big country of Grindia Continent. The people who have laid out this plan are far-reaching and can truly be called a genius and intelligent man ... "
"But Your Highness ..." Tarkel said a little unconvincingly: "Don't you think it was too hasty for Jigda Kingdom to annex the Seven Kingdoms? The forcible annexation caused the suspicions of the remaining Central and South Kingdoms, and then broke out. Conflicts and wars. This seems to be very contradictory to the foresight at the beginning. Jigda Kingdom can completely adopt the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, and slowly digest the results of the hand, so that it will not cause the current consequences.
"No, you are wrong." Lorist said: "There is a premise like you said, that is, the war between Romon Empire and Khawistan Khanate continues, then Jigda Kingdom can slowly adopt the strategy of Huairou. China has brought into its own jurisdiction and caused de facto occupation. However, the Romon Empire and Khawistan Khanate already have ceased their war, and once they recover, they are likely to point their finger at the Central and South African countries.
Under such circumstances, Jigda Kingdom must seize the time to integrate the powers of the seven nations and reorganize its armament to resist attacks from Romon Empire or Khawistan Khanate. That's why it forcibly annexed the Seven Kingdoms. Trade Union is obviously deeply connected with Jigda Kingdom, and their biggest help is not to send troops to help. Because even if they send troops to help Jigda Kingdom, if the Central South and Eight Allied Forces swear to resist, this war will be prolonged for a long time and Jigda Kingdom ’s military power will be wasted.
Because of this, Trade Union will come out as a mediator, and let the two sides go to truce. This is also the most advantageous option for Trade Union. The first is to support Jigda Kingdom, which has greatly increased its strength after annexing the Seven Kingdoms and has the ability to stand alone against the two great powers in the south. Instead of forming coalition forces led by Jigda Kingdom, as in the original countries, to resist the invasion of powerful countries. You must know that a fist is always more powerful than the five fingers that are separated ...
The second benefit is that if the mediation is successful, the eight kingdoms of the Central South Eight Army will definitely regard Jigda Kingdom as a life-and-death enemy, and the hostile relationship with Trade Union will be eased or eliminated. After all, the enemy is not as hateful as a traitor. While supporting Jigda Kingdom, Trade Union also erected an enemy for it, making the two parties restrain each other, avoiding Jigda Kingdom becoming a potential enemy of Trade Union when it became strong.
This battle between Trade Union and the Central and South Kingdom's coalition seems to have received the greatest benefit from Jigda Kingdom, annexed the Seven Kingdoms and made itself a big country on Grindia Continent. In fact, Trade Union is the fisherman who has made the most profits. Not only has it annexed three countries again, but it has also strongly forced those countries in Central and South Africa to release their commercial routes and achieve their pre-war goals. The kingdoms in the central and southern regions have become losers and split into several factions. After conflicts arise, they can no longer unite as one as before. "
Lorist finally tweeted: "Neither is a fuel-saving lamp, no one is a fool. Tarkel, increase the monitoring and intelligence collection of Trade Union and Jigda Kingdom to see if you can find out who is that layout person ... "
"Yes, Your Highness." Tarkel Li Zheng answered.
...
Gennario walked into the study with a note with gold silk lace on it: "His Royal Highness, Duke Kenmays sent someone to send me a note, inviting you to participate in the summer party he hosted on Sidol Province Platinum Beach on August 15."
Lorist remembered that the guy Kenmays had previously told him that he would build a luxurious palace-style manor near Platinum Beach to turn Platinum Beach into a resort for summer fun for Aristocrat(s). It seems that the manor already over there has been built so it is large Post please. This face is still to be given. It's only June, and there are still more than two months. I can just relax and let the Princess Sylvia and the four waiters take the children to play.
Lorist nodded: "Okay, write back to him and say I'll take my family over."
"Yes, Your Highness, but will you be there by boat then?" Gennario asked. There are two ways to Kenmays Family Territory Sidol Province, one is passing by Delamock Province, this is land. Another is a boat ride from Beihai City to Platinum Beach.
Lorist shook his head: "Let's go by land, and take a trip to Dina Baron by the way."
In July last year, the female Knight(s) Aridoli gave birth to a son for Lorist, then named Dina Trieke, and wrote to Lorist saying that Trieke was to become the greatest future Knight(s) of the Dina family. Lorist has no way to take his lover Aridoli. He can only silently bless his illegitimate son in his heart, hoping that he can grow up healthy under the clutch of his mother ... just in time, and can see Aridoli mother and son.
"I see, when is your Highness going to leave?" Gennario asked.
Lorist did not answer but heard a rapid pace, Schwartz rushed into the study: "His Royal Highness, something happened, Lawwell Count family was hired by a team of Mercenary to be held hostage ..."
Lowell Count? Who is this Lorist is inexplicable.
Fortunately, Schwartz saw Lorist confused, and explained in a few words.
This Lowell Count is not a Norton Family, but a businessman from Imperial Capital who bought the identity of Count from Second Highness. It was later discovered that Imperial Capital did not earn any money and migrated to Northern Land. It took nearly gold fordes to transfer the Andinak Kingdom's Count status to the name of Norton Family and became the title Count awarded by Norton Family. From this point of view, this Lowell Count's vision is still very good. He knows that leaning against the big tree of Norton Family can take advantage of the coolness, which makes him do business more smoothly.
Lowell Count moved to Northern Land five years ago. He bought a homestead in the second district of the Aristocrat(s) special zone and built a medium-sized manor house as the home of the family. At the same time, he co-invested in the production of several daily necessities in Northern Land. He also opened a Whisker Chamber of Commerce, which deals in leather goods, drinks and daily necessities.
Two years ago, Grand Duke Fisablen and Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce gave a huge purchase order to Norton Family. The production workshops in which Lowell Count and others were joint ventures also counted as a large piece of cake, and their pockets were full. So Lowell Count and his partners began to vigorously expand the production scale, and opened more than ten new production workshops of the same type. They also spent a lot of money to dig out a large number of skilled workers and technicians from other workshops. In this year, they won the largest share of the cake of daily necessities in the two purchase orders.
But they did not expect that in January of this year, Lorist announced the purchase orders for Fisablen Family and Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. Not only was the total amount less than half of last year, but also the daily necessities in the past two years were only a small part. Now Lowe Count and his partners are dumbfounded, not only them, but also many businessmen like them are bitter.
As Lorist said, the market for Northern Land is also limited to a few provinces around the world. Either there is no market in other places, or there is a market in that place that will not consume so many products. Too many products cannot be sold and will also bring about a very serious economic crisis.
The production workshop can be closed. The workers and technicians can be fired, but the money invested in it has become a backlog of goods. There is no local sales. For most of Northern Land's merchants, they face a very difficult choice. Cabbage prices are generally sold to return a little cost, or these products are slowly sold for decades ...
At this time, Charade began to reorganize all the industrial and mining workshops of Northern Land, closed a large number of workshops and production units that produced similar goods in many industries, and accepted those unemployed workers to reschedule their work, effectively stabilizing the family's internal Economic order. What's more, this immature economic crisis has not had a great impact on the leaders of the bottom of the family except for the heavy losses to the investment merchants.
Lowell Count chose to hoard these goods. He thinks he still has a Chamber of Commerce that can slowly sell these goods. But the disaster is not alone: when he hired a team of Mercenarys to go deep into the black mud swamp to prepare for the hunting of Ironback Gulf Crocodile, the loss was great. The captain of Mercenary asked Lowell Count to give them compensation and subsidies for the casualties, but at this time Lowell Count did not have How much money, refused the request of Captain Mercenary, the two sides had a dispute, and in anger, Captain Mercenary took several Mercenarys to hold the Lowell Count family as hostages, asking them to pay money to redeem ...
"Her Royal Highness, Orville Keith Lord Baron already and the guard camp surrounded the estate of Lowell Count, and Charade Lord(s) also rushed past already. However, the team Mercenary insisted that Lowell Count pay money to redeem and asked our people to leave. This has nothing to do with our Norton Family ... "Schwartz reported.
Lorist silently grabbed the matching sword, and Gennario quickly brought his coat to him.
"Let's go and see," Lorist said.
