Chapter 338 Pre-War Mobilization Banquet
"By the way, don't forget the banquet tomorrow night, remember not to be late." Sophia turned around and said.
"What banquet? What's it for?" Chi Nan asked in a strange way.
Sophia said unhappily: "You really should learn about the customs of the nobles in the kingdom. Every time a war breaks out, a banquet is held. This time it is between countries, so of course we have to hold it."
Sophia turned and left. But while leaving, Sophia did not forget to take away the box of tea that Chi Nan had placed on the table. It seems that Sophia has become addicted to tea.
But is this really something a princess can do? Chi Nan's face was dark. But it's good that way. Chi Nan also felt a burst of warmth in his heart. At least this action means that Sophia really regards himself as a friend. Coming to these two worlds, it is also a great honor to be able to have a friend.
In the past two days, the atmosphere of the entire kingdom has become more and more tense. Teams have set off and headed towards the west of the kingdom. Various communication tools are flying back and forth over the capital.
But on the surface, nothing happened, it was still so peaceful, and it seemed more prosperous than before.
If you look closely, you can find some problems, such as the prices of various weapons and metals in the market are constantly rising. Go to the blacksmith shop, you will find that the blacksmiths are always busy.
And because there are too many orders, the blacksmiths have no time to receive other new orders in the next month. The prices of various foods in the market are also rising.
Especially various grains, which are becoming less and less on the market. On the contrary, the prices of luxury goods in general are beginning to fall, because many people are saving their limited funds and preparing more practical things for themselves.
Even Chi Nan found that some small nobles actually took out some of their collections in their homes and sold them in exchange for some things that could be used in the war. The entire royal capital suddenly became like a high-speed machine. There was a solemn atmosphere above the royal capital.
On this morning, Chi Nan, through his perception of plants, sensitively discovered that some flying objects flew away from the royal capital, and the direction was exactly the west, which was where the war was going to happen.
"Over there, it should be the Kingdom of Karimsi. There are so many flying in the sky, it seems that the Griffin Corps has been dispatched." Chi Nan sat in his home, and there was not much movement.
There is nothing strange about the dispatch of the Griffin Corps in the war between the two kingdoms. I just don't know how far this war will go. Chi Nan has not been doing nothing these two days, but he has been studying the war history of some nearby kingdoms. Wars between kingdoms are also a normal thing.
Most of them are small fights, fighting each other, and there are not many truly tragic battles. The kind of large-scale wars that directly annex each other's land have not happened many times, and Chi Nan doesn't know what the extent of this time is.
"Hey, the key is to see what extent those nobles want to do. Is it to relieve domestic pressure, or to solve their own problems, or to be ambitious and want to go one step further. In any case, I just need to take care of myself."
Time passed, and it was already night in a blink of an eye. On this day, there was not only one army that set out from the capital, but several teams left secretly one after another, and Chi Nan could vaguely feel it. Although the common people on the surface didn't know, the nobles should know something.
At night, seeing the time was up, Chi Nan stood up and walked towards the banquet hall next to the kingdom.
"Chi Nan, why did you come out alone? Don't you have a dance partner? I don't have one either, I'll go with you." As soon as Chi Nan went out, he saw the gorgeously dressed Nu Mi Si standing near his door.
Chi Nan smiled and walked up, gently extending her hand: "Thank you Miss Nu Mi Si, let's go together."
Nu Mi Si put her hand in Chi Nan's hand, and then followed him into the carriage. After getting on the carriage, Nu Mi Si said nervously: "Chi Nan, are you going to the battlefield for the next battle?"
"That's right, according to the situation, it should be like this, and I just want to test some new weapons."
Nu Mi Si was a little disappointed: "I'm so sorry, I can't go with you. My father just sent a letter and asked me to go back, saying that the battlefield is too dangerous. Really, I have been to the battlefield before."
Chi Nan smiled. "Okay, the Governor is also worried about your safety, so he asked you to go back."
Numis is indeed very capable, but this war is not the same as war. In the past, Numis was in Remas, and her subordinates were all Remas' own army. The most Numis participated in were some bandit suppression activities.
Usually, I stayed in the army and did not encounter any danger. The biggest war was the war between Remas and the wild orcs, but at that time it was a coalition force, and Numis did not play any role.
Perhaps in the Governor's heart, Numis is just a little girl who likes to command the army but has no ability. Besides, of course I would worry about the safety of my own children, and this battle is not in Remas's home court.
"Then you must be careful. With your ability, you just need to stay behind, and any credit will be easy to get."
Chi Nan nodded gently: "Of course I know, don't worry, I'm not going alone, I have my guards." He brought a lot of guards with him, and he must take them all with him this time.
As for the business in the capital? Of course, his own safety is more important. Business and so on, develop it yourself, even if it fails, even if there is any problem, Chi Nan doesn't have so much mind to care about it. However, as long as they still want the breath of the forest, they should not mess around.
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the banquet hall. This is on the side of the palace, actually in the palace. The whole venue is very large, and there is a garden outside, which has been decorated magnificently.
"Second Earl Chi Nan and Miss Numis are here." The guards at the door saw them and shouted loudly.
"You recognized us at a glance, and it turned out to be well prepared. The guards of the palace are of quality." Chi Nan smiled and said. Nu Misi glanced at Chi Nan unhappily. How could the banquet not be prepared in advance?
