In the blink of an eye, the coldest months of the year, even in Ellington, where temperatures are more comfortable, people prefer to stay in warm rooms than go out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even if the weather mage group controls the weather and does not snow, but the cold wind will not show mercy, and it is too painful to go out in this weather.

After a period of emergency construction, the construction team of the Datang Chamber of Commerce finally completed the renovation of more than ten major cities when the temperature in the Rennes Empire was about to break through the minus 40 degree mark, allowing them to enjoy the comfort of modern life in advance.

In the past month, the construction team has not been idle at all, especially those mages who are the main construction, whether it is to open the ground or build the wall, they need to use their strength, but they are tired enough, but the results are also gratifying, more than a dozen cities that originally looked like primitive tribes, they were transformed into square modern cities, watching those plush orcs stunned to live in the new house, not to mention how cool the sense of accomplishment is.

Although he has been a contractor for a month, Tang En has not treated them badly, and after coming back, he has a glass of Dragon Island fruit wine, and after drinking it, he feels that the magic pool and magic affinity have been greatly improved.

Now looking at the entire Plandal, the Irrus Empire occupies the center of the continent, and the territory is vast from south to north, and it has recovered half of the land of the year, and the remaining half is naturally the Kingdom of Ronitant and the Kingdom of Grace.

And now, although the Ronitant Kingdom has not yet returned, it has not refused to trade with the Illus Empire, as the trade relations between the two sides continue to be close, sooner or later they will be like the Rennes Empire, unknowingly by the Tang Chamber of Commerce completely hollowed out, become a puppet-like country, and finally completely integrate into the Illus Empire.

The only thing that deserves to be taken seriously by Don is the Kingdom of Grace.

Because that country, it's too closed.

Tang En is not in a hurry to deal with the Grace Kingdom, after all, the more peaceful and stable this world is, the better it is for him, so that he can rest assured that he can farm and climb technology.

Unfortunately, the world is often not as good as it should be.

Kingdom of Grace, Plains of Blood, Bloody Rock City.

Stanley sat on the throne, his eyes blank, clearly thinking about something.

The ministers below all know very well why His Majesty Stanley is absent-minded, not because the little queen Harriet who he married a few years ago will be sixteen years old after the New Year, and she is no longer the little Lori that Stanley likes, but I am afraid that this little queen will be like the previous little queens, on the last day of fifteen, evaporate from the world.

It's all to blame for the damned Princess Aurelia of the Ilrus Empire who didn't marry him, and as a result, their prince became like this! (See chapter 187 for details, who remembers that Stanley was a lolicon?) ）

But no one dares to say such a thing.

"Your Majesty! The weather is getting colder and colder, and it has been difficult for the residents of the city to hunt prey recently, and other cities have also sent news that there is not much food in reserve, and I am afraid it will be difficult to last until the beginning of spring next year. ”

Even though he knew that His Majesty Stanley had not been in a good mood lately, the tall and burly Duke Blau Voggott had to report the bad news.

His Majesty Stanley said disapprerovingly: "Not enough food? Then go grab it! ”

In previous winters, this was done, and once there was a shortage of food, the soldiers of the Grace Kingdom pretended to be bandits and bandits and went to other places to grab food.

Due to the fortress of the Holy Sword Trace, the Ilrus Empire is rarely plundered by the Kingdom of Grace, and because the weather of the Wren Empire is extremely harsh and the land is also barren, the Kingdom of Grace rarely fights the idea of this northern neighbor, so the only ones who are unlucky are the Duchy of Sila and the Duchy of Ivalan in the east, and even the border cities of the Kingdom of Solant sometimes suffer.

At the beginning, Klein knew well about the annual autumn wind in the Grace Kingdom, but his attention had been focused on how to completely kill the Irus Empire, so he never dealt with him, but let the Grace Kingdom live a good life for a few years.

But the Duchy of Sila and the Duchy of Ivalam are very aggrieved, the so-called principality is just a city-state as a buffer zone, and there are only a handful of cities in the country, even if the wilderness and jungle are added up, it is only about 10,000 square kilometers, and the population is less than a million, how much food can they produce?

The kingdom of Grace came every now and then to fight the autumn wind, causing trouble for the kings of the Principality of Silas and the Principality of Ivalan every winter, and every day their old faces were wrinkled together, as if they were constipated.

At the beginning, the kings of the two principalities of Silas and Ivalan were not ruthless to resist, but it is a pity that although the grain production of the Grace Kingdom is not high, the soldiers are all tall and strong, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and the proportion of the Apocalypse is extremely high, the two sides are not opponents at the same level at all, many people die every year, and many women are robbed, and the two sides have already accumulated a deep feud in the sea of blood.

Even sometimes, the kings of these two principalities want to simply merge directly into the Solant Kingdom, and accept the protection of the Solant Kingdom, even if they can't take revenge, it is better than being beaten every day.

It's a pity that Klein doesn't accept it!

The existence of these two principalities is to act as a buffer zone between Solant and Grace, if they are incorporated into Sorant, the two countries are directly bordered, and the conflict is more intense, how can he concentrate on dealing with the Ilrus Empire?

If they wanted to merge into the Ilrus Empire, Victor might have agreed, but at that time, the Ilrus Empire was very weak and did not have the charm to return those principalities, so they simply continued to maintain their independence.

But now...... The situation remains the same.

With the complete acceptance of the Kingdom of Solant by the Illuth Empire, the Duchy of Boleni and the Duchy of Arcona, which were sandwiched between the Illuth Empire and the Solant Kingdom, were directly accepted and directly became the cities of Boleni and Arkna, and the original cities in the principality were downgraded by one level and turned into towns.

Although the administrative level is lower, the treatment they enjoy has been improved! The endless supply of commodities and food from the Datang Chamber of Commerce simply dazzled these hillbillies!

After returning to the Empire of Illuth, the citizens of the Duchy of Poleny and the Duchy of Arcona celebrate every day!

Originally, the kings of the Principality of Silas and the Principality of Ivalan were also ready with salutes and flowers, waiting for the Ilrus Empire to send someone to receive their return, but they didn't wait for the notice, and finally in a hurry, they didn't hesitate to pull down and take the initiative to send someone over to inquire, only to be full of collapse to learn that in order not to irritate Stanley, so they didn't plan to take over the Principality of Silas and the Principality of Ivalan for the time being, but you can rest assured, if you are harassed by the Kingdom of Grace, we will help you settle it, Live in peace!

It's a beautiful word, but the subtext is that it's not time for war yet, so you go ahead and watch us and act as a buffer.

Now the kings of the two principalities are stupid, and the good days they are looking forward to have not come, and the hearts of the two kings are cold, and as a result, they wait for another winter, and the evil neighbors are coming to the door again......

Fortunately, with the covert assistance of the Ilrus Empire, the Principalities of Silas and Ivalan have had a much better time this year, and the loss of this amount of food is completely acceptable.

The camera returns to the palace of Bloodrock City.

"Your Majesty," Blau said in a deep voice, "this year is different from previous years, the Solant Kingdom has been recovered by the Ilrus Empire, and now the Illuth Empire is in full swing, and we are now crossing the border to plunder food and property, which may provoke war, and the outbreak of war now is very unfavorable to Your Majesty's plans." ”

Stanley glanced at him and said lightly, "The Duchy of Silas and the Duchy of Ivalan haven't returned, right?" Isn't the food of these two countries enough for us to survive until the beginning of spring? ”

Blau smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, that was the situation in the past, don't forget, now we have more than a million more mouths......"

Stanley frowned: "Kobolds can eat that?" ”

Blau explained: "Although they don't care about the quality of food, they can eat anything, but they can't stand the huge quantity, the amount of grain and grass that is transported there every day is a staggering number, although the Principality of Sila and the Principality of Ivalam have fertile soil and a lot of grain production, but they are sparsely populated there, and the area of cultivated land is not much, and the food they can grab cannot make up for this big hole." ”

Stanley said casually: "Then kill some kobolds, then cook and feed them to other kobolds, and at the same time, according to the original plan, go to the Duchy of Sila and the Duchy of Ivalan to grab a batch of grain and come back." ”

"That's a solution, but if you kill the kobold, the digging will ...... faster."

"I believe that filling the stomach combined with the effect of the whip will be enough to make up for the dead kobolds."

Stanley said coldly, "Duke Vogot, do you have anything else to say?" ”

"Minister...... Without. ”

"Then do it right away."

Stanley changed his posture and said nonchalantly, "Then, Duke Rupert, report on the progress of the excavation." ”

Ferguson Rupert is also a tall and strong man, at the moment he is dirty, with a dusty look, obviously just arrived not long ago, hearing that he stepped forward and said: "As the excavation goes deeper, the temperature becomes colder and colder, the soil is very hard, it is difficult to carry out large-scale excavation work, and there are landslides from time to time, and kobold people die a lot every day." ”

Someone couldn't help but mutter, the further underground it should be, the hotter it should be, how can it be more and more cold?

Stanley's eyes lit up: "It's getting colder!?" Very good! Looks like we're close to our goal! ”
