Chapter 1090: The Return of the Principality of Silas
Because of the hatred accumulated over the years, the Duchy of Silas and the Duchy of Ivalan are destined to be unable to coexist with the Kingdom of Grace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
So Don can only choose between the two.
The Grace Kingdom is strong, and the total population is several times more than ten times more than the Principality of Sila and the Principality of Ivalan, from the perspective of practicality alone, choosing the Grace Kingdom is undoubtedly the best choice, if Tang En is an iron-blooded emperor who only wants to complete the task and only has a goal in his eyes, he will definitely choose the Grace Kingdom.
But he's not.
Although the quality of the population is a major condition for him to make a choice, he cannot pass the hurdle of his conscience.
What is wrong with the inhabitants of the Principalities of Silas and Ivalan? Why did they have to endure years of raiding by Grace? Enduring the pain of eternal separation from your family?
But then again, is there anything wrong with the Kingdom of Grace? Although the average quality of the people is very strong, the environment is too bad, people can't eat enough, and if they want to get more resources, they naturally have to rely on their fists to speak, and over time, the habit of speaking with strength has been formed in this land.
When the land could not sustain the people living on it, they could only seek to expand, to obtain more land and resources, which was the expansion instinct of living beings, so the Duchy of Silas and the Duchy of Ivalan were unlucky.
In fact, from the perspective of a bystander, there is no one who is right or wrong, only who is strong and who is weak.
What really made Don intolerable was that the Grace Kingdom's approach had touched his bottom line.
You can expand, you can plunder food, but you can't kill innocents indiscriminately, or even take pleasure in killing, which is beyond the limits of what modern people can accept.
Don thought about it for a long time, and he finally decided that he couldn't accept such a group of people as his companions.
Then the answer is simple.
Help the Duchy of Silas and the Duchy of Ivalan resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Grace, and at the same time solve the root cause of the problems of the Kingdom of Grace as soon as possible.
Don't get me wrong, Don wasn't trying to commit genocide, he wasn't cold-blooded enough to do that.
The reason why the Grace Kingdom has come to this point is inseparable from the rule of the Grace royal family, there is a good saying, the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, recall that Stanley is a perverted Lolicon, what good thing can his subjects do in order to please him?
Therefore, Stanley, including his henchmen, must not stay.
As for the others, wait until the dust settles before proceeding with the screening trial, Don believes that he will not blame a good person, nor will he forgive a bad person.
Seeing that Tang En did not speak for a long time, Palmer asked cautiously, "Your Majesty Don En may I ask where your reinforcements are?" ”
It was a surprise to see Don En, but he was really panicked when he couldn't see reinforcements.
Don came back to his senses: "Oh, they're still on their way, they should be there soon." ”
Still on the way?
Palmer wants to cry without tears, this person is all in the city, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived, how can this be fought!?
Perhaps seeing Palmer's concern, Don said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I'm here, this battle will definitely end today, and after that, I'll rush to the Principality of Ivalan as soon as possible, although I haven't received their letter for help yet, but I think their situation is similar to yours." ”
Done's assurance made Palmer's hanging heart let go, and if you think about it, His Majesty Don is a powerful magician after all, even if the reinforcements don't arrive, let alone defeat the enemy army with his strength (Donn: Meow?). At least it's absolutely no problem to defend the city, and it's not a problem to support it for a day!
After settling down, Palmer suddenly thought of one thing, this is a great opportunity!
"Your Majesty Donne!"
Palmer knelt down for Donn again: "Please allow me to submit to you on behalf of the Principality of Syrah, and I am willing to return to the Empire of Illus with the entire Principality of Syrah!" Please accept it! ”
Palmer is a good calculation, if it was in the past, even if he applied to return, I am afraid that Don and Aurelia will not necessarily accept it in order to maintain the stability of the border, so they can only continue to act as a buffer zone, and then continue to be captured by the Kingdom of Grace.
But now it's different, His Majesty Don has appeared here directly, which is already very revealing, and there is a drama to return to Illuth!
The attitude of His Majesty Don just now is already obvious, he wants to protect the Principality of Silas!
In other words, he has decided to declare war on the Kingdom of Grace!
And it seems that because of Beatrice, His Majesty Don is in a good mood at the moment, taking advantage of the current opportunity to directly show his loyalty, the success rate is definitely much stronger than writing a letter!
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Get up, the Principality of Sila has been an inseparable part of the Illus Empire since ancient times, and of course I will not refuse your return." ”
Palmer was overjoyed when he heard this, and as he expected, it was really that simple!
Don't think it's too nonsense for a king to take the initiative to surrender and ask for a return, if you are Palmer, caught between two great powers all day long, you have no chance to maneuver in the middle, and you are also captive by one of them every year, and at the same time, you are watching the rapid development of the suzerainty day by day, it is estimated that you will also be impatient to return to the Ilrus Empire.
Again, even after returning to the Illus Empire, he, the king, would be directly demoted to the lord of Silas, and his life would be much happier than before.
At the very least, after the return, except for the retention of the right to govern the city, all other powers, including military power and financial power, will be handed over, so he doesn't have to worry about the security of the side, with the protection of Don's boss, he can sleep peacefully at night.
When Don saw the joy on Palmer's face, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, this guy was really anxious to submit......
Thinking about how much effort the motherland made for reunification back then, and looking at Palmer again, he felt that the world was really wonderful......
Don said, "While you are waiting for reinforcements, you can tell me about the situation of the Grace Legion, and I will know something." ”
Palmer perked up and immediately began to explain to Don in detail, he couldn't find out too much specific information, but the basic information was already well understood.
And at the same time, in Silas City, Beatrice's side has also entered the normal.
As the news spread that Her Royal Highness had taken the initiative to organize the people to revolt, many people reluctantly picked up a little motivation and began to get busy, and this enthusiasm reached its peak when Palmer ordered the opening of the granary.
After the granary opened, a large number of cooks were recruited, and then they began to cook desperately, not in fancy ways, but in order to be satisfied.
Thousands of chefs are in a position to cook rice in the streets and alleys. It's spectacular!
The smell of food wafts over the city!
The refugees who fled to Silas only carried a small amount of food and property, and their lives these days were relatively miserable, the food had already been eaten, and it was a special period, and they couldn't buy food with money, and many people were already hungry, so as soon as they smelled the fragrance, the spirit was not to mention, and their eyes were green, and they all surrounded them.
As soon as they heard that His Majesty King Palmer had opened the granary in support of Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice's plan, the people were immediately grateful to Dade, and their gratitude to King Palmer and Princess Beatrice was like a wellspring.
After they scrambled to receive the ration of food, they began to get busy according to the arrangement, a large number of people were called to assemble scarecrows, weave dummies, another part was called to carry water and water, some began to feed and drink the soldiers on the city wall, and some people directly replaced the tired guards who stood guard all night, and took up arms to guard the city wall for them - this is of course not in accordance with the rules, but in special times, no one cares about this, For the first time, the soldiers who were so moved even felt that what they had sacrificed was meaningful.
At this moment, the whole city was mobilized by the two fathers and daughters, and the city of Silas was united like never before.
If such a city and such a people are to be destroyed, I am afraid that there will be few countries in the whole of Plandal that are worth saving.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are tired, drink some porridge......"
"No need, I'm full, I'm not hungry at this time."
"But you've been busy for a quarter of an hour...... At least drink saliva. ”
"Okay."
Beatrice took the water, looked at the cracked and worn bowl, and then at the simple but worried face of the woman in front of her, and remembered the beautiful golden bowl she usually used, and the food she usually ate......
Beatrice's heart suddenly soured, she seemed to understand a little why Don was so kind and valued to the people at the bottom.
It is they who form the foundation of this country.
Without these peasants who worked hard in the fields, there would be no country built on them.
For the sake of this country, and for the sake of these hard-working peasants who can't enjoy life, she also has to protect this country!
Your Majesty, when will the reinforcements you sent arrive!
Our only hope is already pinned on you!
After drinking the water from the bowl in one go, Beatrice wiped her mouth and asked, "How many dummies have you made?" ”
"Everyone has worked together, and they have already made two thousand, but Your Royal Highness Princess, can this kind of dummy really fool them......
"I don't know if we can fool you, but at least it's the result of our efforts."
Beatrice smiled reluctantly and said, "Arrange for someone to be sent to the city wall, pay attention to keep it hidden, don't directly expose it to the enemy, and let people transport more grease to the city wall, and boiling hot oil can also come in handy when the time comes......"
"I see, Your Highness Princess, but where did you learn all this?"
The woman was a little curious, could it be that the royal family still taught the princess this knowledge every day?
When Beatrice heard this, she said a little weakly: "Of course, I learned all this from my teacher......
How dare she tell these people that these skills were all learned from the books sold by the Datang Chamber of Commerce......
