Five days later, Grand Duke Lehman received a letter from Maple County. . .
When he received the letter, he was having a headache about the southern border. Those undead played their cards without common sense, and many undead climbed over the mountains, just bypassed the fortress of Davik and entered the territory of the principality.
The number of these undead is not large, but it is also a lot. Judging from the number of undead found so far, there are at least 50,000 low-level undeads, and about 3,000 high-level undeads. They go out at night and harass everywhere. Many undefended villages and towns They were attacked, and some were massacred.
Of course, the Principality also sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but these undead were too scattered, and they could hide anywhere. During the day, they hide in deep mountains, old forests, stinking ditches, and even river bottoms. They just need to get a cat inside, and then they won’t move, and they don’t need to breathe. Even hunting dogs can’t smell them, so it’s very difficult to find. .
Therefore, the results of the encirclement and suppression have not been great.
These undeads are not yet a major problem. What worries Grand Duke Lehman the most is that one day there will be an army of undead overturning the mountain and flanking Davik Fortress back and forth. The situation is beyond imagination!
In this kind of desperate situation, the Grand Duke saw Luo Lin's letter.
The letter was written very euphemistically, saying that Angela was staying in the territory to play, but who the Grand Duke was, you can understand the meaning of the letter at a glance. These days, there is an evil fire in his chest and finally can't bear it, suddenly broke out and caught He picked up a potted plant on the desk and threw it out.
With a loud bang, the precious Jianshan bonsai fell to pieces, and the surrounding attendants were silent, one by one, wishing to become invisible, lest they become the next target of the Grand Duke to vent his anger.
Grand Duke Lehman suppressed his anger and continued to read the letter. The letter mentioned that Luo Lin was very dissatisfied with his suspicion. But when this continent is in distress, let go of personal grievances first, and the grain will still be shipped to the fortress of Davik. I hope to check it on time and don't make it difficult to transport the grain servants.
When he saw this, Grand Duke Lehman's face looked a little better. He looked up and saw that the knight who sent the letter was still standing in front of him, and he asked: "Borani, tell me carefully about what you saw along the way."
"Yes. Your Majesty." Borani began to tell what he had seen and heard in Levine and Maple County. What he saw all the way was living and working in peace and contentment, and he said about the scene in Maple County. After describing it, he concluded: "Your Majesty, Maple Leaf County has not changed much on the surface. But I secretly observed that the residents in the city must use honorific names when mentioning the earl, and their faces are solemn. If someone insults or even despise the earl. People around will Raise in groups, or use words. Or use fists and feet. Streets and alleys, whether it is a market coachman or a gentleman with a small property. These residents have smiles on their faces, and most of them have one or two. An exquisite piece of jewelry. The shops on both sides of the street can buy almost everything you want. The street is also very clean. The horse dung and human urine are cleaned up by someone. Even in the slums, there is not much smell."
Grand Duke Lehman listened carefully. He kept listening to Borani's words. He let out a sigh of relief: "Earl Maple Leaf has a talent for ruling the country. What a pity."
Unfortunately, it is not loyalty, but blazing ambition that cooperates with this talent in governing the country.
The Red Moon Sword Saint once said that this person has sincere heart, and this cannot be wrong. From the food still transported to the fortress, it can be seen that this person is not eager, and has a clear view of the overall situation in his heart.
But the Juggernaut had missed one point. In the eyes of the Grand Duke, sincerity is the nature of this person and his most powerful weapon, allowing everyone to trust him unconsciously, be persuaded by him, and finally follow him wholeheartedly.
This kind of disposition, the ability to govern the country, the almost unparalleled personal force, and the age of only twenty-five years old, can only use a generation of geniuses to describe the Grand Duke no longer dared to think about the future.
In his mind, this Maple Leaf Earl is ten times more terrifying than the young king of Aoraki Duchy!
After a long silence, Grand Duke Lehman said to the clerk beside him: "Record my words."
After the clerk set the pen and paper, the Grand Duke began to verbally reply: "Earl Rollindswater."
After drinking, the Grand Duke continued: "Your letter makes me very pleased. You are Angela's mentor, and Angela is with you. I have nothing to worry about. The southern undead is powerful, and I tremble every day and worry about it. , I'm afraid that the undead will break through the fortress. Now there will be an undead army going up and down the mountains and killing everywhere. I want to ask the solution?"
The content of the letter was not much. In the end, Grand Duke Lehman asked Luo Lin for advice. Of course, he didn't expect to get any useful answer. He just hinted to the other party that we should stop making trouble. Let's just relax. The undead is the most important thing.
After writing the letter and sending it to the messenger, Grand Duke Lehman put the matter down for the time being. He believed that as long as Luo Lin didn't know how to move, the island of Fix on the sea would not become an obstacle to him.
Besides, all his forces are now in Davik Fortress. Regarding Fix Island, he can only send six armored battleships to threaten him, but he can't move the truth. He doesn't have the financial resources and energy to fight.
In fact, the letter from Fix Island has been sent back, and the situation is not bad. The Primo family has declared surrender and has attached a compensation clause. The total is to feed 100,000 people for one year's food and military supplies, and there are still twenty Ten thousand gold coins.
The other party didn't make any gimmicks either. The first batch of compensation has been shipped from Fix Island. They are all grains collected that year, and they are very generous. The gold coins did not delay. Two hundred thousand gold coins came along with the first batch of grain.
The matter didn't make a big deal, and there was strong support out of thin air, which made Grand Duke Lehman breathe a sigh of relief, and his breath finally went smoother.
Throwing out the horrible thing of treason, both Fix Island and the Earl of Maple Leaf gave him tremendous support, and the strength of support far exceeded other noble lords.
Thinking of this, Grand Duke Lehman couldn't help sighing, and there was a hint of understanding in his heart. If he was a lion, then the nobleman of the duchy was a wolf. But now, the Maple Leaf Earl is a tiger. Ligers are incompatible, if not. About the undead, I'm afraid the two of them will have to fight each other this time.
As soon as the letter was written, another messenger came in and handed in an urgent letter. Grand Duke Lehman opened it and almost fainted.
Three days ago, Baiyun City in the southeast of the Principality, the port city on the coast that once accepted the refugees of Vendome, was attacked late at night by the undead flying army. The city lord was first assassinated by a terrible undead. The high-level undead entered the city and slaughtered for a while, and Baiyun City almost became an exquisite territory, and less than one-tenth of nearly 300,000 people escaped.
Baiyun City is the largest port city in the Principality, providing massive wealth for the Principality every year. If this city is gone, the Principality’s fiscal revenue will have to be reduced by at least one third.
The money is not much, the more terrible whole city is slaughtered, and there will be hundreds of thousands of undead in the duchy, enough to form a terrible army.
The problem is that he can't squeeze out much power to fight against this army now. If he doesn't block this army, no, if he doesn't destroy this army. What is the significance of the defense of the Darvic fortress?
This is terrible. In contrast, the affairs of Fix Island and the Earl of Maple Leaf are nothing at all.
Grand Duke Lehman hurriedly asked the messenger: "Has all the cities near Baiyun City got the news?"
The messenger nodded: "The surrounding lake fortresses, Neuschwanstein Castle, and Clearwater City have all gone to the messenger, and they have begun to build defenses."
The Grand Duke was very familiar with the map of the Principality. As soon as he heard these three places, he knew that the locations of these three places were very good, just forming a semicircle, blocking Baiyun City by the sea.
But the location is good, but the troops are not enough. The lakeside fortress is just over a thousand, and the same is true for Neuschwanstein. The city of Clearwater is more, but only three thousand. It is impossible to fight the undead army and must be supported immediately.
Where there is support, we can only find a way from the garrison of Davik Fortress. After gritting his teeth, Grand Duke Lehman issued an order: "Notify Marshal Zachro in the fortress to immediately transfer 20,000 garrisons to Clearwater City!"
Twenty thousand is the limit, and there can be no more. Davik Fortress must not be breached, otherwise the undead will go directly north, with countless cities along the way, and the undead will become stronger and stronger. At that time, let alone the duchy, even the entire human race will be Facing the disaster of falling into extinction.
After giving the order, Grand Duke Lehman felt a splitting headache, he stubbed his hair hard, and suddenly felt a pain in his head. When he looked down, there was an extra strand of hair in his hand. It was originally gray, but now it is completely white. .
These days, bad news came one after another, and he was so exhausted, he could only smile wryly when he saw this strand of white hair.
Twenty thousand support is still not enough. The Grand Duke thought about it again and said to the clerk: "Write it down, Your Majesty King Aoraki"
When things reached this point, the Grand Duke no longer cares about his face and feud, he must ask the Aoraki Kingdom for help.
North, Maple Leaf City.
When the South was inevitably caught in the flames of war ~EbookFREE.me~ Maple Leaf City was not affected much, and people did not feel the danger of the invasion of the undead. The undead in the south are at best the conversations of the traffickers and pawns.
But this of course does not include senior staff such as Luo Lin.
At almost the same time, Luo Lin also received the news that Baiyun City was broken.
In Luo Lin's view, the undead is like a drop of ink dripping into clear water. If you don't scoop this drop of ink out the first time and let him develop, then the whole glass of clear water will turn black soon.
This situation has already appeared in the south, and now it appears in Baiyun City. If the undead are not killed in the first time, they will soon spread, and the southeast part of the Principality will quickly rot and eventually spread to the entire Principality.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, Luo Lin made a decision: "It's time to make a move!"
If he really sits on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, when the undead tiger wins, he himself will be eaten by the tiger. (To be continued. (.))
