Chapter 54: The Messenger of St. Ulan
The Gulgas Mountains are a vast mountain range system that runs through the entire northern kingdom of mankind, which directly separates the northern power of St. Peter from the other six kingdoms, and also establishes the geographical location of St. Peter that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The mountain range stretches from the middle of the Whispering Grove to the far north, dividing the four kingdoms of St. Ulan, Rigade, St. Peter, and Locleland. To the west of the mountain range is St. Peter's Domain, to the north is Lockland, to the south St. Uran, and in the middle is Rigade. The Pis Mountains are an offshoot of the Gurgas Mountains, which isolate the four southern counties of St. Ulan from the three northern counties, and the megalithic fortress of County Vane is firmly the choke point from the south to the north, and has now become the most important point in the confrontation between the Zerg and St. Ulan.
Whether it is the Zerg or St. Ulan's acquisition of the Boulder Fortress, they will directly control the initiative of the entire battle situation, at least St. Ulan thinks so. Chu Heng is determined to win the Boulder Fortress, although the impact of the so-called geographical environment of humans on the Zerg is relatively small. But on the other hand, if Chu Heng gets the Boulder Fortress, then the four southern counties will also fall into Chu Heng's hands steadily, and it is impossible for the human army to cross the Pease Mountains on a large scale, compared to the Zerg who do not need supplies, the human supply troops will always be their hard wounds.
On the southern mountainside of the Pease Mountains, two men were fleeing in confusion, while behind him were four warriors in silver armor in hot pursuit. One of the two was dressed in luxurious aristocratic clothes, but it was already dirty and messy at the moment, and it was obvious that the escape was not very smooth, while the other was wearing a set of warrior soft cloth clothes, holding a short sword with serrated teeth, and covered in blood, these two were none other than Victor and his personal guard, a level 7 great swordsman. Victor was too conceited to think that everything was under his control, but in fact St. Ulan VI had been on guard against him, and was chased by St. Ulan VI's guards the moment he made the move to flee.
"Peter, count you ruthlessly, don't let me find a chance, otherwise I will make your life worse than death!" Victor's hatred for St. Ulan VI at the moment could not be greater. In the process of fleeing, his three sons and his wife were killed by the secret guards, and now he is the only one left in the entire family.
In a moonlight fruit manor in Wardle County, Chu Heng was lying on a bamboo recliner, picking a moonlight fruit casually and throwing it in his mouth, closing his eyes and basking in the sun very enjoying. At this moment, her head maid, Karina, walked up to him and whispered in her ear, "Master, Empress Kelligan has brought several messengers, they are the messengers of St. Ulan, Rigade, and St. Peter. ”
Chu Heng opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Saint Ulan's envoy? Is there anything else to talk about between us? Karina just didn't hear it, she knew that she shouldn't pick up her master as a maid, but her cute big eyes still looked at Chu Heng with interest and muttered to herself. This is also one of Chu Heng's favorite things about this maid, in addition to understanding Chu Heng's heart, he never comments on his own affairs in front of him, and he can also make himself not feel embarrassed as a listener. "Let the messenger of St. Ulan in, and I'll see what the hell he's going to do." Chu Heng said. Karina bowed, bowed, and slowly withdrew.
After a while, a man dressed in a noble dress and dressed almost the same as that of the envoy of Rigad that day came to Chu Heng, and after bowing, he said, "Honorable Lord Sovereign, My Majesty the King has brought his greetings. Chu Heng didn't open his eyes to look at him, but just said very casually: "Oh? Is St. Ulan VI ready to submit to me? A hint of anger flashed in the envoy's eyes, but it was well concealed: "Honorable Lord, our Majesty the King only wants to discuss the truce with Your Majesty. Chu Heng still didn't open his eyes: "Tell St. Ulan VI to surrender to me, and we will naturally stop fighting." ”
The envoy of St. Ulan's face was pale, but the matter that the king had told him had to be done, and he held back his anger and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King has said that as long as the Lord stops his attack on the Great Stone Fortress, the King is willing to recognize the Lord to rule over the four southern counties. Chu Heng opened his eyes suddenly, he didn't expect St. Ulan VI to be so generous, the land of the four southern counties is the main population gathering place and economic center of the kingdom. Sixty percent of St. Ulan's annual taxes and seventy percent of St. Ulan's population are concentrated here, and if St. Ulan loses the four southern counties, I'm afraid that even a duke and lord of Rigard will not be able to defeat it. Wrong...... The four southern counties had already been occupied by themselves, and St. Ulan VI could not have been so generous. Then St. Ullan VI's purpose is quite obvious, which is to delay his own attack on the megalithic fortress and buy time for the support of the Holy Prayer Legion.
Ziao, this old fox, almost wrapped me in, it seems that political gods have never been my strong point, it's better to use strength to crush everything. Thinking of this, Chu Heng closed his eyes again and said lightly: "The four southern counties are already our Zerg, today we will break through the Boulder Fortress, and then my army will take my greetings to the royal capital to visit St. Ulan VI." The envoy's face turned pale after hearing this, the mission given to him by the king this time could be regarded as a complete failure, and he trembled his lips and said: "Lord Juggernaut, the Great Stone Fortress, as the last barrier to the north, will never be breached by you so easily. ”
Chu Heng beckoned to Kailina, and Kailina stepped forward to squeeze his shoulders for him. Seeing this, the envoy understood that Chu Heng was completely unfooled by him, so he saluted and said, "Since this is the case, I will leave!" Chu Heng said: "Tell St. Ulan VI that I will only give him this one chance, he has the right to surrender to me before our army engages the Sacred Prayer Legion, and we will not die once the war starts." "Chu Heng understands the combat effectiveness of the Sacred Prayer Legion, fighting them will inevitably cause a large number of casualties to his body, although it is impossible for Zhi Lu Dao to make St. Uran VI surrender, but he only has a glimmer of hope. Even if St. Ullan VI did not surrender, he was not afraid of the Legion of the Holy Prayers, and victory was already inevitable. The messenger's body trembled and said, "Yes, I will bring the words of the Lord to His Majesty." ”
A maid waiting by the side escorted the messenger out of the manor. Chu Heng said, "Call the messenger of St. Peter in." After a while, a knight in silver armor was brought in by the maid, and when he came in, Chu Heng sensed that there were many assassins around, and even Kane, who had been transformed into a zerg by Chu Heng, was hidden around him.
