549 Cold Thorn (7)

North of Ryrdian, Fort Dvalin

It was a majestic castle surrounded by mountains, with a faint white-snow on the high walls, and the warm winter sun was shrouded behind the black clouds, and the occasional glimmer of gold through the gap could not dispel the chill.

Under the white mist like a ribbon, only the brown spire of the castle could be seen on the top of the hill high up, and at the top of the metal spire, a few small black dots hovered in the sky, which were scavenging vultures.

There is no biting cold wind, no ice and snow cover, it is the hearts of people who are cold,

Dvalin, the land of the sun, in this place that should have been warm and hazy, but shrouded in a dry and cold freeze, the town under the castle, the prosperity of people has long been lost,

The shops were all closed, and the dust raised by the cold wind was not fluttering in the air, and even if someone occasionally passed by the town, they were curled up and trembling like rats.

Choose to pass through guò here in the sunny day, occasionally glancing at the center of the town, revealing an irrepressible fear,

Under the wooden pole of the central stone platform, there are more than ten naked people hanging still, the bodies of white uāuā,

Swaying from side to side with the howling cold wind, as if trying to break free from the restraints hanging around his neck,

If there is a person who is familiar with the Dvalin aristocratic world, you will find that these people are all nobles with a bit of status in Dvalin,

Lord Rosa of Dirick Manor, Lord Fittenley of Fein Manor, and some of the "Grand Lords" who own manors in the Dvalin region,

are all hung on it without exception,

The neck was long, the head hung down, the chin was tightly tied to the knot, and the eyes were cut off into two dark deep

Like a row of ducks hanging by the window of the fat cook,

These hanging people, because the collarbone of the guide zhì has been broken for a long time, their necks are like long noodles,

It's about half longer than a normal person's neck, and those who look at it are worried,

On the last pole of the pole, there was a young girl, who had been cut off, naked, and blackened

She is the nv son of the patriarch of the Bōku family in the Dvalin region, because the patriarch Bōkuri went to the south last month, so she only found his 17-year-old nv to count.

It is said that at the time of the search that day, this NV man was not in Dvalin.

I don't know why, I saw her at the execution site that day, and she was tortured extremely cruelly before she died.

These nobles, who were usually glamorous, were suddenly arrested by the local lord, the Marquis of Chubard, and then immediately executed without trial, on charges of colluding with traitors and intending to oppose the great king.

The families of the nobles were imprisoned, and their property was unreservedly transferred to the Marquis of Chaiberd, and the tenants of the estate were sent to the Aguirre region to serve hard labor

, which was undoubtedly a great earthquake for the whole of Dvalin, and the harsh cruelty of the lord Marquis of Chubrid made all the inhabitants of the realm tremble

Some people say that it was the nobles who reported the situation of the lord's lying about his exploits to the military affairs department of the kingdom, which caused such a severe blow, and no one knows the real reason.

But the lord's action this time was acquiesced by the high-level statement, which is undoubtedly clearly proven.

Because the girl who hung on the last flagpole went to the governor's palace to accuse the Marquis of Chubard,

As a result, instead of having any effect, he was sent back by the Governor and killed.

The Marquis of Chai Bird hung her on the flagpole without hesitation, undoubtedly telling everyone that he was not afraid of someone to sue

On the chair in the main hall of Dvalin Castle, the Marquis of Chubard was squinting his eyes with a look of enjoyment,

On his big uǐ, a beautiful ** in a red-long dress and a shawl with long hair is trying to meet the claws of the devil that he stretched out into his body,

The graceful and luxurious robe was torn out of the mouth of the iōng with half a white-high ball, and a pair of round and long uǐ from the hem of the skirt were cut out in half, and the snow-white made people only swallow saliva.

The Marquis de Cabbard's thin hand was reaching into the chin of the long skirt along the curves of the man,

"Light. Tap it, adult, you hurt me."

** The voice trembled, curled up in Chaibold's arms, and the pale face - from time to time flashed with painful blushe, making her look even more graceful m-human,

"Don't ...... Don't ......"

Her weak and boneless body trembled slightly as the Marquis of Chubard's fingers reached in, and the ruddy man's mouth occasionally cracked a small slit, and a low, enchanting moan came out of it,

She is the wife of a local manor owner, a famous beauty in Dvalin, in order to be able to keep her nv who is only a few years old, it doesn't matter what.

At a banquet at the Doge's Palace, she was favored by the Doge, and after a few nights of abuse, she was sent back to Dvalin,

As for how to deal with it, it all depends on Chai Bird's mood

For her, the Marquis of Chai Bird has been coveting for a long time, and this time he will naturally not let it go, and the Governor has already passed the word,

For this NV person to be "strictly guarded" is obviously ready to be stocked here in Chai Bode,

This kind of free-range crime is not uncommon in Rui Erdian, often some big nobles because of their status, it is inconvenient to let some yin things exposed, so they put these pets in their subordinates or vassals, when needed, only need a password

Unscrupulously withdrawing his hand from under the long skirt, feeling the smoothness and the faint aroma between his fingers, the Marquis of Chubd smiled proudly

"Don't worry, I'm the vice-governor in the three northern counties as long as I say a word, you and your nv can survive, just like the governor said, in order to atone for your sins you must obey the order for 10 years,

"As for 10 years later, hehe......"

Chai Bird's voice paused, and the corners of his mouth l-smirked obscenely

"To be honest, your 5-year-old baby is really a beauty, with big eyes and watery eyes, if you adjust it a little, I believe the Governor will like it, even if the Governor doesn't want it, I can continue to take care of it."

"My lord, a messenger has arrived at the Doge's Palace."

The voice of the outer guards made Chai Bird have to stop,

He stood up unwillingly, slapped the red-clothed **ǐng warped part loudly, and saw the other party carrying his clothes like a frightened rabbit and throwing them away, so he lazily tidied up the corners of Ling's clothes,

muttered in a low voice, "I really don't know what to say, can't 3,000 strong laborers still fill the stomachs of these adults, it's really disappointing."

"Let him in"

The Marquis of Chubard sat up straight and ordered, and with a sound of footsteps, a curly-haired young knight came in from outside,

His face was very anxious, and he was wearing only a piece of mud-stained chain mail, and he looked like he had come in a hurry.

According to the knight's canon, a knight must keep his armor clean and translucent when he meets the lord.

But the knight obviously didn't pay attention to the Marquis of Chubrd, and held his head high, first looked at the vice-governor in front of him, and then put the letter in his hand in his hand

"Your Excellency the Governor, I hope you will take this person with me."

The young knight said extremely politely

"This person is the daughter of the Minister of War, Lord Prais, the personal servant of Miss Pradielle, I heard that she once went to the Governor's Palace because of some contradictions with you, and then was sent back to you This time Miss Pradi Elle specially took her on behalf of her, and must bring her back"

"Bō Kulina?"

Chai Bode looked at the name on the letter in his hand, and said indignantly in his heart

"Finally, I've heard that this NV person is a personal NV servant in a certain magnate in Paravon, but I didn't expect it to be the daughter of the Minister of War Prais, so it's no wonder that the Ministry of War is always clinging to itself."

"I'm sorry, I can't"

Chai Bird hesitated for a moment before shrugging his shoulders at the messenger and said helplessly, "Please tell the honorable Miss Di Elle that this Bō Kulina is the key culprit in this rebellion, and she has insulted the Governor to her face, I have been executed on the spot in accordance with the Kingdom's wartime disposition law, and if she must be, I can only give her the corpse."

"You mean Bō Kulina has already been executed?" The young knight clenched his fists, his face looked at him angrily, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, he was Bō Kulina's lover, and when he heard that something had happened in the northern county where Bō Kulina was located, he specially ran to beg Pradi Elle, who had just returned to China, for help, who knew that it was still a step too late

"Yes, she, like those traitors, must be hung on the **** of the town below the castle for 300 days, this is a decree, and I can't help it"

Chai Bode pretended to be sorry, shook his head and said, "If I had known in advance that she was from Lord Prais's mansion, I would not have killed her, and I might have treated her ceremoniously, but she didn't say anything, she didn't say it from beginning to end, I can only express regret about this matter."

"Didn't you say that?" the young knight's eyes were staring tightly, his face turned pale with anger, and the corners of his mouth sneered, "But as far as I know, Bō Kulina was tortured by your order on the way back, and finally had her tongue removed, and this time all the nobles arrested for treason were tortured and killed in the same way. Because you're afraid that they'll say things like lie about military exploits or something like that."

"Knight, pay attention to your wording, are you justifying those traitors?",

Chai Bird's face was slightly pale, and the young knight's words were undoubtedly close to the truth,

He paced back and forth, then stopped, stared at the young knight in front of him with an eagle-like gaze, and said in a stern voice, "As a lord loyal to His Majesty the King, I have the right to decide the affairs of my own territory, and your duty is only to fight, if you want to dictate to me, ask His Majesty the King to give orders."

"You will pay for your stupidity," the young knight left with a message, turning and indignantly leaving

In March, the situation on the continent, with the end of the winter cold, began to turn rapidly again,

In the north, the Falcon Duke of Vecchia, who had just passed a battle that caused a sensation on the entire continent, once again continued his undefeated legend with an absolute victory, and easily controlled the various tribes of West Kugit that had suffered a great loss of strength in his hands.

And at the subsequent meeting of tribal leaders, with 80% approval, he became the co-lord of Vikia and the Kingdom of Kugit, and in order to escape the disaster, millions of Western Kugit people who flowed out of the Tulga region began to return to their homes on the steppe in a slow and orderly manner according to the relevant resolutions, and they looked so vibrant

In the south, the smell of war has not yet passed, because of the withdrawal of the Ryerdian army, the resistance of some sporadic small lords also seems meaningless, and the Roudes finally firmly grasp the Suruo region of Ryordian after several bloody suppressions,

At one o'clock in the morning of March 5, all the eyes of everyone on the mainland were cast on the calm Dorok Mountains in the east.

On the desk of His Majesty Ragnar, King of Radnar, a top-secret plan named "Cold Thorn", officially closed the text,

100,000 Rode troops armed to the teeth, from the east and central north of the Suruo Mountains, crossed the border of Dorok at the same time, and hundreds of scout squadrons advanced, according to the icons in their hands, quickly cleared the villages along the way, until dawn, one of the six city-states, Du Sen suddenly found himself surrounded by regiments,

Under the fierce attack of 100,000 Roude's main infantry, Dusen's 80,000 defenders resisted for only 3 days before the whole city fell, and the whole city was slaughtered, and about 200,000 corpses of the Dorok people were thrown into the rushing Bō Criss River outside the city by the Roudes, and the surface of the river was blocked for more than ten miles.

The speed of this battle, from the dispatch of troops to the occupation, but in just 3 days, undoubtedly the entire continent shook again, no one expected that the Virtuous people, who have always liked to fight hard, would fight such a small battle, even the fat man who was heading to the south, after getting this information, thought about it for a long time, and was silent for a long time

The end of the cold season awakened the ambitious and bloodthirsty eyes of the Rouds, who adopted a policy of massacre against the Dorok people in the occupied areas, driving a large number of refugees to the already Rui Erdian.

It is the connection point between Suro and the city-state of East Rok, and it is a continuation branch of the Great Mountain Range of Okandsheng Keen, which stretches for thousands of miles, and has extremely rich mountain mineral deposits and precious beast skins, and the city-state composed of six Dorok cities controls there, with about 1.5 million people and less than 100,000 troops.

During the period of Ruierdian's control of Suruo, these Dorok lords have always been vassals of the Suruo region, although they do not necessarily listen to the orders of Ruierdian, but Ruierdian also hopes that on his flank, there can be some obedient aliens to assist in the defense.

Because of the cession of the Suruo region, these pro-Ryrdian city-states of Dorok, after several unpleasant conflicts with the Zode, proclaimed the formation of Eastern Dorok,

It is strategically located in a very important place, with the Dorok League to the east, and the Otga Mountains in the hinterland of Ryrdian to the north.

Most importantly, from here it is easy to go west along the mountain range to bypass the Kergodan region, which is the center of the Irdian people.

This was a straightforward and effective strategy for conversion, and it is said that it was the new Undersecretary of Military Affairs of the German Ministry of War who proposed this excellent battle plan.

This new famous general, who shined in the Southern Campaign and was known as the "Remnant Lion", just entered the military affairs department, and showed a surprising keen eye and an iron-blooded style that did not hesitate to do anything for the goal.

Fighting in the mountains with the poorly armed Dorok people will undoubtedly pay a certain price, but it is obviously more cost-effective than fighting with the Ruierdian knights of Jīng Rui in the plains.

"For the sake of victory, the necessary sacrifice is indispensable"

It was this sentence that made this plan known as the greatest tactical idea by the king of Roude, and it was quickly supported by the top management of Goude, in order to ensure the success of the plan, the always grumpy Rou people, in the name of suppressing Su Rou, prepared a winter openly, until the specific movement of the Vykia side was determined, and the time was finally decided.

This is a strong response to Wikia's control of West Kugit, the rise of Wikia, so that the Odds realize that in their west, a powerful threat is forming, although the Odds do not think that Wikia now has the strength to fight with them, but after a few years, when the attached steppe forces are digested, it is difficult to say,

The Odds desperately need a grand strategy that can be used to break free from the centuries-old tug-of-war between themselves and Ryerdian to deal with this increasingly powerful western neighbor, just as Vecchia is doing its best to avoid Ryder and expand northward, and the Odds are avoiding Wikia and expanding eastward,

But everyone knows that the two kingdoms actually do the same thing.

That is, before the final battle, save enough capital, whether from the mainland territory or the power, the two kingdoms have been unstoppably put on the agenda.

After Rui Erdian, who is declining day by day, withdraws from the hegemon of the mainland, who will become the new hegemon? The whole continent is waiting to see

The waters of the South China Sea become particularly gentle and beautiful in the ūn season,

The sea is almost still, quiet as a mirror, more gentle, calmer and more charming than the water of the Coral Sea.

Dense schools of fish shuttle freely in the sea here, occasionally leaving a series of small white sparkling seas on the sea surface.

White sails dotted. Fishing boats and merchant ships glided across the calm sea in the distance, leaving long white trails on the stern, rippling in circles and scattering in all directions, and then colliding with other ripples to create more ripples that could not disappear for a long time.

With the defeat of the Central Pirates of Vedia in the West Sea and the construction of a permanent trading port in the West Sea, the maritime trade between Wiki and Salander, Ryder, and Ryrdian doubled.

In addition to the Dorok Mountains, starting from the port of Dirrens in the south of Vekia, it only takes more than half a month to make a turn in the ports of several kingdoms, which undoubtedly allows more merchants to put their jīng power into maritime trade, not only powerful families have sea ships, but also some small-scale business associations have built sea caravans

The fat man stood on a tall building in the center of Lilex City with slightly squinted eyes, looking at this rare and lush scenery, his eyes were full of deep Mona Qing standing beside him in a white-long dress, and the scene in front of her also made her heart pound, she had long heard that the maritime trade was a place of rolling gold, but she didn't expect it to be prosperous to this Cheng Dù, just the port in front of him, I was afraid that there were hundreds of merchant ships

Relex is one of the trading ports in the south of Vecchia, with extremely complete docks and trade hubs, and has become the "Southern Eye" along with the port of Dyrens
