Chapter 579: Two Letters

Roland received a letter from Calvin Kant, Duke of the North. |

Attached to the letter was a handprinted contract, which clearly and unmistakably expressed the loyalty of the Northern Territory.

The content of the letter is more trivial.

First, ask Roland when the enthronement ceremony will be held, so that he is ready to set off to congratulate him-this is also the custom when every king is crowned.

Then there are questions about the new policy - such as how it will be implemented, the remaining powers of the nobility, matters of succession and the scope of the town hall.

These are all expected, but what surprised Roland was the last point.

At the end of the letter, the Duke put forward a marriage request to himself. The entire page praised his daughter Edith's beauty and talent, saying that she could handle both domestic and foreign affairs in an orderly manner, and was the best candidate for queen... Seeing these words, Roland couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Nightingale's voice came from the direction of the couch.

"An interesting... father," he picked up the letter, "look at this."

Nightingale escaped from the fog, took the letter paper, frowned after looking at it a few times, "You won't promise him, will you?"

"Of course not," Roland said easily, "I don't need a political marriage to maintain the stability of the throne, and the letter says so much, I dare not put her in the castle, otherwise who is the king will not I know."

"Sounds like the truth," Nightingale was visibly relieved.

"Hey, you can't trust me that much."

"It's not a matter of belief, you know that witches can't help..." She paused, "After awakening, we can no longer be considered complete women."

"I don't think so," Roland shook his head. The shortcomings of infertility will gradually disappear with the progress of civilization, and the appearance, physical fitness, and incredible abilities brought by magic will become more and more important. As long as human beings can continue, the group of witches will inevitably rise. Fortunately, they were born inside human beings, and there was no specific way to stimulate their awakening, which gave an opportunity for the fusion of the two.

Just when he was about to use a long speech to expound his point of view, a flying messenger flew into the room through the open window, flapped its wings twice and landed on the desk.

There is a circle of yellow cloth strips tied around its paws - this means that the secret letter comes from the old capital.

Roland swallowed the words again, took out a dried fish from the drawer and threw it to the gray falcon who shook his head to beg for the reward, then untied the cloth strip, and took out the folded oil paper from it.

Due to the limited size of MeSign, the above content is usually very concise.

And the very first sentence of the letter surprised him.

A witch who is immune to the influence of the god stone? As far as he knows, only mortals who have strengthened their bodies can do this, other than the high-level devils known as demon slayers.

Roland continued to glance down, but found that one piece of news was more shocking than the other.

He suddenly felt that his plan for recovering the extreme southern territory had to be greatly adjusted.

three days later.

Roland held a strategic discussion meeting in the castle's living room.

Attendees were City Hall Chief Barov, First Army Commander Iron Axe, Chief Knight Carter, Longsong Consul Pelor, Witch Union representatives Wendy and Agatha, Sleeping Island witch representative Sylvie, and Northland Pearl Edith.

"The basic situation is like this," Roland briefly described the contents of the secret letter, "We cannot verify the contents, but if everything in the letter is true, Graycastle will undoubtedly face the biggest challenge before the battle of divine will. For the sake of safety, the combat arrangements in the extreme south can only be temporarily suspended," he looked at Iron Axe, "Is there any problem?"

As the main hero of the spring offensive, Iron Ax quickly captured Liuye Town and Falling Dragon Ridge according to the predetermined plan, making the gateway town connecting Neverwinter City and the southern border fall into Roland's hands. He originally planned to make persistent efforts to complete the great cause of expanding the territory before the arrival of autumn, and bring the Sand People's territory into the kingdom's territory. Among them, Echo and Iron Ax are the key figures connecting the two races. As members of the Mojin tribe, they can play a buffer role in racial conflicts. Therefore, letting him lead the army to occupy the extreme southern border is also the best reward for him. He might be disappointed to suspend the battle plan now.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Iron Ax's expression remained unchanged, and he answered decisively, "In addition, I suggest replacing the First Army stationed at Falling Dragon Ridge with new recruits who have just finished training. They will have no problem dealing with those nobles. , the First Army can also concentrate its maximum strength to stop the church."

"Just do it," Roland nodded approvingly, got up and walked to the big map behind him, "There are two main problems we face now, one is not knowing when the enemy will attack, and the other is not knowing where they will attack from .Originally there was only one way for the church to invade Graycastle, which was from the Cold Wind Ridge in the North to the capital, but now the Kingdom of Dawn is under the threat of the Church, so it is possible for the Judgment Army to invade Graycastle from the border of Dawn. What good do you have? Is there a way to deal with it?"

"No matter where they appear from, they must pass through the northern border of the kingdom first," Barov said first, "Coldwind Ridge, Glen Town, Evernight City, and Cliff City are all Duke Calvin's territories. I suggest that Miss Edith brought the news to her father, and then stayed in the north to monitor the enemy, so it would be safer. But...Your Majesty," he rubbed his hands, "can we block the Church?"

This cowardly question received unanimous stares from everyone, and Edith said unceremoniously, "If Your Majesty says you can't stop it, are you planning to beg for mercy from the church and ask for their forgiveness?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? As the head of the city hall, at least I must prepare for the worst..."

She ignored Barov, looked at Roland and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed necessary to send people to monitor all roads, but it does not mean that it is a good way. It responds slowly, and when the enemy is discovered, it also means that the enemy has already Get going, it's hard to buy you enough time."

"Do you have a better way?"

"Of course," Edith replied confidently, "send people to Hermes."

"The holy city of the church?" Carter frowned. "What's the use of that? Could it be that the Pope will notify you when he decides to send troops?"

"And the people there are all believers and fanatics, it's hard for spies to mix in," Pei Luo added.

"You don't need to enter the holy city," she smiled, "just talk to the nearby merchants." 8
