Chapter 797 Djokovic City (3 Chapters in 1)

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

The size of the underground of Lu Gaoyin's palace was beyond Abel's expectations. When entering the second floor, the same style of decoration and more artworks were displayed, which was dozens of times larger than the first underground floor.

Thinking of Lu Gaoyin's location, this is the edge of the desert, the climate is very dry and hot, and this kind of underground building can just escape the hot weather.

Considering this aspect, it is not difficult to understand why the Lu Gaoyin Palace built such a large-scale underground floor.

The wealth of Lugain, a port city, also shocked Abel again, because before, whether it was the wealth on the ground or the wealth on the first floor, it was just the tip of the iceberg of the entire Lugain Palace.

In the huge space on the second underground floor, exquisite works of art can be seen everywhere. If there were no hell creatures, this place would be like a museum.

Abel carefully cleaned up the hell creatures here, and did not use 'teleportation' recklessly to advance quickly, because he needed the artwork here, and everything here had been regarded as his own.

He wants to clean up all the hell creatures here and take away the artwork, which will become his spoils of war.

Abel's life seems to have returned to the days when he rested during the day and entered the dark world to fight at night. While moving artworks and fighting hell creatures, his life has stabilized again.

The harvest time of winter wheat in the human world has arrived, and this year's harvest time has been delayed by nearly half a month due to the poor growth of winter wheat.

The harvest of winter wheat finally saw a large-scale reduction in production, and the reduction in production was very large, almost reaching a 70% reduction in production.

In the human world of the Holy Continent, all winter wheat harvested only 30% of the previous year's harvest, which caused a huge food shortage in many non-agricultural duchies.

Of course, these duchies have their own food reserves, but such a harvest cannot last for a long time even with food reserves.

Grain reserves are generally formulated according to the grain consumption of the principality in one season. This grain reserve allows the principality to survive the disaster year by storing grain in the event of a natural disaster, so as to continue the harvest of the next season.

But the situation is different now. Almost everyone has accepted the once-in-a-thousand-year crop production reduction cycle, and the crop production has already decreased in the previous year, which has consumed part of the grain reserves of many principalities.

When there is a huge shortage of food,

Some conflicts began to appear within the human race.

If the strength of the orc empire hadn't diminished, even if there were such internal conflicts among humans, they wouldn't be too serious, because the oppression of foreign enemies would make the human world extra united.

But the current situation is that the orc empire has been weakened by a battle of the Miracle Wall, and Abel dealt a heavy blow to the orc empire not long ago, killing six high-ranking orc priests.

In a short period of time, the orc empire lost seven high-ranking orc priests, and lost a large number of elite fighters, which forced them to build a high wall to separate the human world from the orc empire.

This was a glorious victory, but now this victory has brought unexpected results for everyone.

Humanity has lost its greatest enemy. At least in the past hundred years, the orc empire has been difficult to threaten human beings.

However, the internal contradictions of human beings suddenly became prominent after the external oppression disappeared. At present, there are only some small conflicts, and some small conflicts have been triggered between the various castles for the harvest of food.

In the first ten days of June, at the junction of the Principality of Taikos and the Principality of Keene, an army composed entirely of knights was marching towards the city of Deyue in the Principality of Keene.

This is a knight legion consisting of 200 official knights and 3,000 apprentice knights. No noble family can have such a number of knights. Only the principality can command such a large knight legion.

The Grand Knight Commander Job is the commander of this knight army. He is the most powerful of the three Great Knight Commanders in the Duchy of Taikos.

The Principality of Taikos is a mining principality. The natural mineral resources make the Principality of Taikos rich in iron ore, silver ore, gold ore, and even magic stone ore resources.

With such rich mineral resources, the Principality of Taikos has become the richest principality among the seven principalities belonging to the Kingdom of St. Ellis, and because of its wealth, the principality is also extremely powerful.

The Principality of Keene was originally an extremely powerful principality. Because there was a branch of the Wizarding Guild in the Principality of Keene, the proportion of wizards was very high.

However, due to Abel's devastating blow to the wizarding circle of the Principality of Keen, the principality, which was originally regarded as the top among the seven principalities, has now become the weakest principality.

If there is no crisis of crop production reduction, the Principality of Keen can recover its vitality and erect the magic tower again in hundreds of years, but the occurrence of crop production reduction has made the Principality of Keen a piece of fat.

Around the Principality of Keen, there are four powerful principalities staring at it, but they are afraid of the majesty of the Kingdom of St. Ellis and dare not take action easily.

The Principality of Taikos does not want to be the first bird, but the crisis of crop production reduction is the most direct blow to their Principality. The food in the Principality is not enough to last until the next season's crops mature, and how much the next season's crops can be harvested is still a big question mark.

In this case, the Principality of Taikos had to take some action. In this way, a knight army strong enough to kill the Principality of Keen was sent out.

Because they were all knights, this army of more than 3,000 people marched extremely fast. When the sun was still overhead, they had already arrived at Djokovic City in the Principality of Keen.

"Knights, our request to buy food from the Principality of Keen has been rejected. The Principality of Keen would rather watch our citizens starve to death than sell us food. If they don't give it, we will get it ourselves. The front is Deyue City in the Principality of Keen, I need you to fight for the Principality of Taikos, and for the people of the Principality!" The Grand Knight Chief Job yelled.

"Fight for the Principality of Taikos, and for the people of the Principality!" The words of the Grand Knight Commander Job made the blood of more than three thousand knights boil, and they shouted loudly.

"Honor is my life!" The Grand Knight Captain Job drew out the knight's sword from his side, and the sword shone golden in the reflection of the sun, he shouted.

"Honor is my life!" the knights shouted.

Captain Job led the horse, followed by more than 3,000 knights. The well-trained knights naturally formed an arrow-shaped battle formation while running.

Although Deyue City is a border town of the Principality of Keen, there are not many troops stationed in this border town, because there have been no wars between the principalities for countless years, and the defenders here have forgotten that this is still a dangerous border town.

The garrison stationed here is led by Knight Commander Horatio, with a total of ten knights and 500 warriors. The biggest battle this garrison has ever experienced is nothing more than the extermination of bandits.

Aneulin was a scout, but due to the long period of non-combat, his scout only stood on the city wall to watch. Since he rested late last night, he was a little depressed today.

While he was dozing off, he was suddenly startled by the vibration of the ground. When he raised his head and looked outside the city wall, the image in front of him immediately made him lose all sleepiness.

Under the sun, a knight army all dressed in armor is rushing towards the city of Djokovic. Thousands of horses are galloping, and a cloud of dust is raised behind them, making this knight army seem to be carrying the power of heaven and earth. Come average.

"Enemy attack!" Aneulin yelled, and rang the alarm bell around him, his voice trembling due to nervousness.

Knight Commander Horatio was sitting in the dining room at this time, sipping red wine elegantly, and the veal and vegetable salad in front of him exuded an attractive taste.

Just as he picked up the red wine and poured it into his mouth, the sound of the alarm bell made his hands tremble, and the red wine spilled all over him, but he didn't have time to care about the red wine.

Continuous alarm bells are not to be knocked indiscriminately. If you ring the alarm bell incorrectly, you will be hanged, so no one will make fun of the alarm bell.

"Prepare your horse!" cried Knight Horatio, rushing out of the dining room.

It was too late for him to put on his armor, so he rushed out of the mansion on horseback in casual clothes.

On the city wall, the sound of the alarm bell awakened Captain Naijie who was guarding the city from his nap. He slept in the garrison room above the city wall, so after he woke up, he just sat up and saw that he was rushing towards the city wall outside the window. Come Knight Legion.

"Close the city gate!" Captain Nijie yelled while putting on clothes on his body in a panic.

When Captain Nijie rushed to the gate of the city, there were already a dozen guards who had heard the voice closing the gate.

The city gate is made of huge solid wood with a thickness of up to thirty centimeters, covered with iron sheets on the outside, and iron nails for reinforcement on the iron sheets.

The entire city gate is very heavy, at least 20 soldiers are needed to close the city gate, and it will take a few minutes at the fastest to close it completely.

And listening to the tsunami-like sound of horseshoes outside the city, whether it was Captain Nijie or the other soldiers, they all felt a little flustered, and the usual familiar movements of closing the city gate became stiff at this moment.

The Grand Knight Commander Job, who was leading the knight army forward, saw the gate of Djokovic City being slowly closed at this time, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

He didn't expect the guards in Djokovic City to react so quickly, and he chose to close the city gate immediately. Before the attack, he knew the situation in Djokovic City. The defenders here have not fought for many years.

If the city gate is closed, the knights he brought will attack the city, and the speed of the attack will be greatly affected.

To break into such a city, you must have siege equipment and wait for the siege equipment to arrive. Then the blitzkrieg plan formulated by the Duchy of Taikos will be greatly affected.

Thinking of this, the Great Knight Commander Job's body flashed with fighting spirit, which wrapped his whole body and the horse under him, and he suddenly activated the Grand Knight Commander's skill 'Charge'.

Like a flash of lightning, his war horse quickly broke away from the running legion in front of the legion and rushed towards the city gate.

"Quick, quick, close it!" Captain Nijie yelled and directed the soldiers who came to close the city gate together.

The city gate in front of me was two meters away from being closed. As long as the gate was closed, the army composed of knights outside would not be able to enter the city in a short time.

But just when Captain Nijie saw the hope, a ray of light rushed in from the gap in the city gate that was about to be closed. He was about to yell, but he felt a ray of light flashing past him.

The power in him suddenly disappeared, and he was shocked to find that his upper body had left his lower body.

Job, the great knight who rushed into the city gate, swung a long sword with fighting spirit on top of the knight's great sword in his hand. In just a moment, behind the entire city gate, there was no one alive except him.

"Honor is my life!" Just as the Grand Knight Commander Job was about to turn around and push the city gate open, a roar came from behind him, and then Knight Commander Horatio rushed towards him with the knight's sword in his hand.

This is a fearless charge, and it is also a mortal charge. A knight commander without armor and shield, with only a knight sword in his hand, launches an attack on a knight commander who is fully armored, fully equipped, and has activated fighting spirit. , the ending is inevitable.

Like a wave crashing on a boulder, Captain Job just casually hit him, while Commander Horatio left his horse and fell heavily to the ground. There was a sword mark on Commander Horatio's chest. It took away his breath of life.

Grand Knight Commander Job was very careful with his attack, and did not damage Knight Commander Horatio's body, which was a respect for a true knight.

After the city gate was opened, more than 3,000 knights rushed into the city gate. Djokovic City had no ability to fight back at this time. Half an hour later, the Djokovic City, which had guarded the gate of the Principality of Keen for countless years, Completely lost.

Two hundred knights were left to garrison Djokovic City. The Grand Knight Commander Job did not stay in Djokovic City. He wanted to capture as many cities as possible before the news was passed to other cities.

Fufu City and Dunya City, the two cities closest to Djokovic City, were also captured in just two days. When the Grand Knight Commander Job was preparing to attack Erluo City, because the news had already been delivered here, What he saw was a fortified city with full defenses.

The attacking steps of the Great Knight Commander Job had to stop. The consecutive days of attacking made the powerful knights somewhat exhausted, and they camped outside the city of Erloe.

"Father, the Principality of Taikos has raided the Principality of Keene and has occupied three cities of the Principality of Keene!" Above the palace hall of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, the eldest prince Alec is reporting the latest information to His Majesty Emperor Ambrose. .

The attack speed of Taikes Principality is too fast, and each attack uses lightning tactics without prior notice, which has completely violated the knight code.

Moreover, the intelligence system of the Duchy of Taikos also interfered with the offensive process. Even the intelligence system of the Kingdom of St. Ellis did not get accurate information until two days later.

"Your Majesty, the Principality of Taikos is challenging the Kingdom of St. Ellis, and it should immediately send troops to severely punish it!" A minister said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I think the Principality of Taikos should have no choice but to reprimand it to make it repent and give up the occupied land!" Another minister stepped forward and said.

"Did you take the property of the Principality of Taikos, and you still justify it at this time!" The previous minister stared at the minister who had just spoken, and said loudly.

"Can't there be voices different from yours in the empire? Did the ministers who had other opinions take money?" The questioned minister was not angry, but asked rhetorically.

However, he really accepted the gift from the Principality of Taikos, and he could get so much wealth just by justifying it above the main hall, so how could he not be tempted.

"Okay, there's no need to argue anymore!" His Majesty Ambrose waved his hand to stop the ministers from arguing.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it was the most unacceptable thing to dispatch the army at such a time. To use the army, there must be a large amount of food as support. The current food reserves of the empire could no longer wage wars.

The original food reserves of the empire were much larger than those of the principalities, enough for several years. However, a war against the orc empire mobilized too many resources of the empire, and the same was true for food.

A large number of knights are mobilized. The food eaten by these knights and war horses needs to be transported, and transportation also consumes food. In addition, during the war preparation period, the horses must consume the most feed to ensure the training of the knights.

It can be said that a war with the orc empire consumed nearly half of the food reserves of the three major empires.

The amount of the empire's food reserves is a secret, and the few ministers present did not know it, but His Majesty Ambrose, who is the emperor of the empire, knew it all.

"Send envoys to the Principality of Taikos and ask them to fulfill the principles of the Principality and withdraw from the occupied land!" His Majesty Ambrose said in a deep voice.

The envoys of the Kingdom of St. Ellis received a warm welcome in the Duchy of Taikos, but the Duchy of Taikos did not immediately implement the order of the empire, but excused that the army was too scattered and the retreat would take time.

This is the Principality of Taikos testing the bottom line of the Kingdom of St. Ellis. His Majesty Ambrose's attitude was unexpectedly weak. He just sent coordinating envoys many times, which was not as tough as the empire should be.

The actions of the Principality of Taikos and the attitude of the Kingdom of St. Ellis are like igniting an oil barrel. When the Principality of Taikos and the Kingdom of St. Ellis are arguing, the Principality of Larvi, the Principality of Laka and the Principality of Koror are also In a short time their troops were dispatched.

This is a feast, a feast to carve up the Principality of Keen. If the Principality of Taikos invades alone, the Principality of Keene will use the power of the whole country. If the Principality of Taikos does not send out wizards, it can still resist for a period of time.

However, when the four principalities attacked at the same time, the weak military strength of the Principality of Keene could not support the four-sided battle. In just a few days, the capital of the Principality of Keene was Biri City, which had become an isolated city. .

In the royal palace of the Principality of Keene, King Kenneth looked at the map in front of him with a gloomy face. The large area of ​​land that was originally the Principality of Keene had now become the land of other principalities.

The Principality, which had been passed down for countless years, was left in his hands only the capital, Biri City.

But he knew that there was still a glimmer of hope. The Kingdom of St. Ellis had been mediating. He needed to give the empire enough time. In addition, the possible intervention of the Wizards Guild would also allow the Principality of Keen to survive the crisis.

All of this must have a premise, that is, the Principality of Keen can defend the city of Biri.

At this time, in the city of Biri, the nobles who fled from the lost land brought a large number of knights and warriors. Originally, such war nobles would not flee, because although wars have an impact on the nobles, they come normally. It is said that no matter which side wins, it will not have much impact on the nobles.

But this time is different, what they need in the four principalities is food, they don't need local nobles.

Historically speaking, there has never been a war like this one. All the resources on the occupied land were looted, the nobles were expelled, the city residents were also expelled, and all people who could consume food were expelled. .

Only the farmers who could grow food remained. Because of this, the city of Biri was already full of nobles, and numerous knights and warriors could be seen everywhere.

Outside Biri City, many residents driven from other cities had no choice but to build temporary sheds. Fortunately, the weather is hot now, as long as they can provide shade.

But the food problem has become more and more serious. All edible things have been eaten by hungry people, and there are no edible resources within a few miles around Biri City.

In the hall of St. Ellis Kingdom, the atmosphere was a bit oppressive.

"Father, send troops. If you don't send troops, the majesty of our empire will be completely lost!" The eldest prince Alec said to His Majesty Ambrose in a pleading voice.

His Majesty Ambrose glanced at the eldest prince Alec. How could he not know that if this continues, the entire empire's vassal states will be dispersed.

As long as the Principality of Keen disappears, it means that the Kingdom of St. Ellis has lost control over the dependent country. This will be a huge blow and will cause a great loss to the strength of the Kingdom of St. Ellis.

Once the vassal states lose control, the war among the vassal states may continue forever, and may eventually develop into a major war.

And the Kingdom of St. Ellis is not without enemies. Whether it is the Kingdom of St. Polde or the Kingdom of St. Arvo, once the strength of the Kingdom of St. Ellis is greatly damaged, these two empires will attack them mercilessly.

The only problem now is food. As long as there is enough food, troops can be sent to suppress the four principalities and let them withdraw their troops.

None of the ministers in the hall spoke out at this time. The mediation during this period without sending troops made them all understand one thing, that is, the empire could no longer afford a war.

In the past, no matter what the inclinations were, the ministers no longer had any other ideas under such a severe situation. All the ministers knew that if this matter could not be handled properly, the Principality of St. Ellis would be in big trouble.

"Alec, I remember you said that the food supply in the Principality of Cameron is very sufficient, is there such a thing?" His Majesty Ambrose turned to the eldest prince Alec and asked.

"Yes, Father, according to the news from the Intelligence Department, all the grain stores in the Principality of Kamai have been directly supplied by the Principality of Kamai. Although there are limited requirements for buyers, the supply of grain has always been very sufficient. From Kamai According to intelligence reports from the inspections of several major grain stores in the Principality of Mai, the inventory of the grain stores is no less than that of previous years!" Eldest Prince Alec replied with a bow.

"Is it feasible to buy a batch of grain from the Principality of Kamai?" His Majesty Ambrose asked with some uncertainty.

As the emperor of the empire, although His Majesty Ambrose has supreme power, he doesn't have much to do with the Principality of Cameron and Abel. The only way is to negotiate.

Because he knew better than anyone else the role Abel played in the war against the orc empire. In that war, the number of elite orc warriors killed by Abel alone reached a terrifying number.

Thinking about the huge amount of military achievements so far, he is still terrified. A strong man like this must never use power to suppress him.

"The Duchy of Kamai has always been an important producer of grain, and after Grandmaster Abel became king, even though there was a large-scale reduction in production last year, the Duchy of Kamai did not reduce the grain that should be handed over to the empire, nor did it use gold coins like other duchies. Or other materials instead, so I don’t need food when I want to come to the Principality of Kamai.” The eldest prince Alec analyzed.

The eldest prince Alec controls the intelligence system of the Kingdom of St. Alice, and his analysis is the most convincing.

"Alec, go to the Principality of Cameron instead of me to buy a batch of grain, and you can tell the truth to Grandmaster Abel!" His Majesty Ambrose ordered in a deep voice.

"Father, I'm leaving now!" The eldest prince Alec knew that the time was urgent, and bowed out of the hall.

In the Camba City of the Principality of Cameron, Abel met the eldest prince Alec in the side hall of the palace. This was a private meeting, so there was no one else here except the butler Burbage.

"Grandmaster Abel, you should know the situation of the Principality of Keen, right?" the eldest prince Alec asked directly.

"Yes, I've heard about it!" Abel nodded and said.

As he mastered the Principality of Cameron for longer, the intelligence system has been greatly developed with the support of a large number of gold coins, especially the stable and rich Principality of Cameron that everyone yearns for. This kind of centripetal force allows the intelligence system to be able to Better development.

The relationship between the Principality of Keene and Abel is not good. Because of Abel, the wizarding system of the Principality of Keene has basically been completely disintegrated. This is also an important reason why the four principalities dare to attack the Principality of Keene.

Without the protection of wizards, the Principality of Keen is like a child walking the streets holding gold coins.

"Grandmaster Abel, the Principality of Keen cannot fall. Once it falls, it will disrupt the principles of the entire principality, and the human world will fall into chaos. Wars will continue to happen!" the eldest prince Alec Shen Said loudly.

"His Royal Highness Alec, I am only the king of a principality, and I cannot stop the war between the five principalities with my own national strength. What you said is far from my ability. The empire is the suzerain of the principality, and uphold the principles of the principality. It is the obligation of the empire!" Abel shook his head and said to the eldest prince Alec.

The suzerain state collects a certain amount of resources from the subordinate state every year, and this collection share is related to the national strength of the subordinate state. Just like the Principality of Cameron, it has to hand over a certain amount of food every year for the protection of the suzerain state.

Now that the principality of Keene, which has been handed over for protection, is invaded by the other four principalities, this is the obligation of the principality of St. Ellis.

"Grandmaster Abel, for the last war of the Orc Empire, the Kingdom of St. Ellis has already consumed too much food, and the remaining food is no longer enough to support another war!" the eldest prince Alec said helplessly.

To suppress the four principalities, the Kingdom of St. Ellis must send an army strong enough to deter the four principalities. As long as an army of this size is mobilized, it will consume a lot of food.

"Your Highness Alec, what are the requirements of the empire?" Abel asked directly.

"Master Abel, the empire can buy a batch of grain from you at the market price, please help the empire, the empire will give you enough in return!" the eldest prince Alec begged.

Purchase food at market prices. This market price is not the market price of the Principality of Kamai, but the current market price of the Holy Continent. The price of grain in the Principality of Kamai has been maintained at a relatively low level, which can almost guarantee that all citizens will not be hungry.

Abel also doesn't want turmoil in the human world, and an empire with a good relationship with him is also in his interest. As for the food, to be honest, the food in his hands just has no reason to sell it.

Because although there is a lot of food, it is only enough to supply two or three principalities. Once this amount is sold to the outside world, it is likely to attract undue prying eyes.

He is not afraid of war, but the troubles that can be reduced should be minimized as much as possible, and the strength of the Principality of Kamai is still too weak, and it will take some time to develop and grow.

"Yes, Your Highness Alec, you can give me a specific amount, and I will ask the minister to prepare it for you!" Abel nodded after thinking for a while.

"Master Abel, with your help, we have won the friendship of the empire!" the eldest prince Alec said excitedly.

In Biri City, the capital of the Principality of Keen, knights, soldiers, and stronger ordinary civilians were all placed on the city wall, and countless supplies for the defense of the city were also sent to the city wall. Under the pressure of the plundered wealth and the destruction of the country, Under the threat of survival, the nobles in Biri City are united like never before.

Outside the city walls, the armies of the four principalities have arrived, and their goal is the last wealth of the Principality of Keen. Due to their driving, the wealth of the entire Principality of Keene has been concentrated in the city of Biri.

Just when a big battle was inevitable, a super knight legion of 20,000 knights from the Kingdom of St. Ellis left the empire and came towards the Principality of Keen.

The actions of the Kingdom of St. Ellis surprised the four principalities. It must be known that their intelligence system has confirmed that the empire will not send troops to suppress it. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
