Chapter 385
West Sea
Syrah
This kingdom is located in the southeast of St. Martin, and is currently the closest kingdom to St. Martin. If you set sail from the island where the Tifusey Kingdom, which was originally located just south of St. Martin, is now St. Martin's Perfume Island, it only takes two days. It can be reached!
The territory to which the kingdom belongs is an archipelago, with more than a dozen islands, large and small!
The country is in a relatively hot climate all year round. Although it is not suitable for growing food due to the soil and soil, it is rich in various fruits and is a famous fruit kingdom in the West Sea!
And this kingdom has 400,000 citizens and an army of about 30,000 people. Its combat power and equipment are among the best in the nearby kingdoms except for Saint Martin. Therefore, although it is a non-joined country, it is rarely attacked by pirates!
At this time, the main hall of King Sira King's Palace!
A middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a crown, a slightly raised belly, and a solemn face, walked around the hall with a frown, as if he was thinking about something embarrassing!
He is the king of Syrah, Ethelbert!
Compared with other kings of the kingdom, Ethelbert's background is not very good. He is a side effect of the previous king's date outside with his lover - an illegitimate child!
Originally, with his background, the throne of the Kingdom of Sila was out of reach for him, not to mention that the king at that time not only had his illegitimate son, but also had three biological sons, which made the throne away from him. farther!
But it's a son after all!
The previous king was still more affectionate. He knew that this illegitimate son had little to do with the throne, so he was going to find a reason to give him the position of a marquis, so that he could enjoy endless wealth and wealth for a lifetime!
However, Ethelbert, who was wise from a young age, was not willing to be just a marquis!
He wants to be king more!
But how could his illegitimate son be king?
unless
When the previous king had no other heirs! ! !
Therefore, he began to count his three brothers, that is, the three powerful biological sons of the previous king who had the right to inherit and fought for power and profit!
He first approached the eldest prince and joined his camp by relying on his identity as an illegitimate child and having no possibility of inheriting the throne!
The eldest prince at that time faced him, a brother who had no possibility of inheriting the throne, and did not mind showing his brotherhood in front of outsiders, so he easily accepted him and joined his camp, and often took him everywhere to participate. Banquet, showing a touching scene of brothers and sisters in front of outsiders!
However, Ethelbert is not here to show off the brotherhood of the eldest prince!
Therefore, under his design, and without the eldest prince, in a conflict between the eldest prince and the second prince, the second prince's people accidentally killed the eldest prince!
The eldest prince died, and the second prince was also abolished by the previous king because of this, and he was directly exiled abroad!
In the end, the third prince fell from the sky and became the only heir to the throne!
But it doesn't end there!
Ethelbert turned his target to the third prince after calculating the two brothers!
In the same way, using his illegitimate child's identity and no possibility of inheriting the throne, he approached the third prince!
Likewise, the third prince was going to use him to show his brotherhood, so he easily accepted Ethelbert's approach!
After that, Ethelbert put a special poison into the daily diet of the third prince by bribing the chef and poisoning, so that the third prince suffered a terminal illness and died of it soon after!
In the end, when all the princes died, and only his own son was left, he had no choice, even if the king noticed something was wrong, he had to pinch his nose and list him as the heir!
Then, after the king died, he also successfully inherited the throne!
However, since his family knows his own affairs, his position is not right after all. If someone finds out what he has done before, even if he is already a king, it will be very troublesome, and the royal family is not only the only He's alone, so there's even a risk of being kicked out!
Therefore, since he ascended the throne, he has become suspicious!
There are always bad people trying to harm me!
With this idea in mind, he began to eradicate some ministers who disobeyed the orders, as well as royal relatives who threatened his throne!
It has only been fifteen years since he ascended the throne, and he has executed hundreds of people, which means that on average, seven or eight ministers and members of the royal family die in his hands every year!
This has raised his authority to the point that even if people find out what he did in the first place, it will not endanger the throne!
And it was his smart, suspicious, and ruthless personality that made him one of Arthur's goals!
Closer to home!
Today, he is no longer in the mood to care about the intrigue in the kingdom!
"Is what you said true?" Ethelbert, who was walking back and forth, couldn't help but ask the burly man kneeling in front of him again!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The burly man said with a respectful look on his face, "My men were indeed near the town of Blood Harbor and saw the Queen of the Kingdom of Wright who quietly went to St. Maarten!"
Saint Martin can send people to be spies in other kingdoms, and people from other kingdoms can also send people to be spies in Saint Martin!
And the burly man is the immediate boss of the intelligence personnel in the Sila Kingdom who are in charge of this!
"Queen Wright!!!" Ethelbert's face showed a look of anger and anger!
To his surprise, Queen Wright appeared near St. Maarten!
The anger is also that Queen Wright appeared near St. Maarten!
Queen Wright is also one of them who are ready to unite against the Kingdom of St. Martin, and it is also the closest kingdom to their kingdom!
And now that Queen Wright suddenly appeared near St. Martin Island, it was still quietly, which made him feel bad for a moment!
After all, they had just finished discussing the union, and when they were preparing, the queen of one of the kingdoms suddenly and quietly arrived, and they were targeting St. Martin, the capital of the kingdom. In this case, he knew with his ass that it was not a good thing!
at this time.
"Da da da!"
A burst of rapid footsteps came over.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A soldier hurriedly ran into the hall, shouting anxiously as he ran.
Seeing the hurried look of the soldier, Ethelbert froze in his heart, and suddenly had a bad feeling, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter!"
"It's not good. It's not good! General Abby Abby, found that the army of Saint Martin. The army is assembled. It is assembled!" The soldier breathed out and said the whole thing!
betrayed!
The thought flashed through Ethelbert's mind!
He received news on his front foot that Queen Wright quietly went to St. Martin, and the army of St. Martin began to assemble on his back foot. If he hadn't been betrayed, he wouldn't believe it!
Of course, the main question now is not whether to believe it or not!
But the army of St. Martin is gathering!
In other words, St. Martin is ready to deal with the next target!
So who will they choose?
Is it the kingdom of Sira closest to them, or another kingdom?
If you think about it from another perspective, if he is from St. Martin, what will he choose?
When Ethelbert thought of the answers to these questions, his hair stood up and he was terrified! ——
at the same time!
Among the kingdoms that are preparing to unite, there are also kingdoms who have received the same information but with different content, so they have different expressions!
