"What a decisive answer. It really makes me curious. What exactly is it about the lord of Arthas that can attract our 'Silver Flash Wind Belle?”
Sophia. Otas, one of the Seven Battle Maidens of the Kingdom of Gistardt, had a proud figure in addition to his strength. Just his movement of standing up from the sofa was extremely turbulent. Irene raised her eyebrows when she saw it from the corner of her eye. She even subconsciously looked down at her own fierce chest.
"Could it be a handsome guy? Our Irene has also reached this age?”
Suddenly hearing Sophia say this, Irene's face turned slightly hot, and her gaze shifted to the side." No, no... I just like roast chicken and apple juice..."
"Eh? Roasted chicken and apple juice?" Sophia was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled." It seems that I should go and meet Count Brunel. How interesting."”
"Is that so…That guy is indeed very interesting.”As she spoke, Irene couldn't help but smile.
Sophia seemed to find it a little novel. She smiled and narrowed her eyes as she stared at Irene.
"What, what's wrong?" Irene, who felt uncomfortable being stared at, blushed even more.
"It's nothing." Sophia shook her head and went to the desk in front of Irene." Irene, although the Luriel family has been on good terms with the Tynal family for generations, these things happened before Liudmila was born. Liudmila and the current governor of the Tynal family don't have any relationship. I can even vaguely tell that Liudmila is disdainful of the current governor's greed and cruelty.”
"Sophia, are you saying that we can win over Liudmila?”Irene frowned. She didn't want to have too much contact with that little guy. Of course, if it was on the battlefield, she would be happy.
"It should be very difficult, but it's not impossible to make Liudmila remain neutral. After all, Tyner is a noble of Brunai, not a member of our Gistalt.”
"Sofia, His Majesty thinks that Tynal can bring him and the nobles of the kingdom greater benefits.”Irene pondered for a moment before shaking her head. "His Majesty not only wants to get more benefits from Tynal, but also wants to weaken the strength of our Battle Lady. He doesn't want us to coexist peacefully.”
"So it's just a possibility." Sophia paused for a moment and then said," If, I mean, if you start a war with Ludmila, maybe this is an opportunity.”
"Chance?"
" That's right. Tyner asked Liudmila to take action just to restrain you. Without your help, Lord Arthas could still defeat Tyner. Even a small victory could change His Majesty's mind.”
"Ah, maybe it's just as you said, but Arthas is too weak now. He needs time…Maybe he can create another miracle?”Irene said with some certainty.
"Time and miracles? I'm really looking forward to it. Even Irene has such high expectations for him…"
……
The training of Lord Arthas 'private soldiers was also on the right track. At the same time, Nangong Xiao had spent a lot of effort on weapon making, such as the beast tendons and high-quality wood needed to make strong crossbows, and even some of the gear wheels. These were all raw materials and not industrial products, so Nangong Xiao had to exchange them in the system. It was to speed up the production of weapons.
Arthas 'craftsmen had turned from amateurs to skilled craftsmen. On the last day, they could make eight to eighteen strong crossbows, which was already very impressive. However, the speed was still too slow. Fortunately, when Lim hired a large number of craftsmen from the Duchy of Wright, the production of strong crossbows increased greatly.
Of course, Nangong Xiao also paid about 60 silver coins from the system. Fortunately, the raw materials for making crossbows were very cheap. Otherwise, Nangong Xiao would really hesitate to build an elite crossbow army.
Nangong Xiao had put in a lot of effort for this 1,000-man private army. From training to weapons and equipment to brainwashing…he had personally designed and prepared everything. He was so busy that he wanted to split himself into two people.
Of course, apart from these matters, after everything was on track, Nangong Xiao personally went to the lord's mansions of several lords nearby. Although the gains were minimal, he temporarily ensured that these lords would remain neutral after Nangong Xiao and Tynal started an all-out war. There were even one or two lords who expressed their willingness to send troops to help.
In addition to Mas 'face, there was also the support of the Duchy of Wright Meliz. Otherwise, these Brunai nobles would never think that the little Arthas could resist Duke Tynal.
Although he was tired after half a month of running around, he still received verbal or positive support from many lords. Just as Nangong Xiao was about to bring his people back to Arthas, Lim, who was accompanying him, told Nangong Xiao that she had received news that Irene had returned from the capital city of Guistat. She was probably at the Cicimora Mansion, which was on the other side of the Vosges Mountains.
It just so happened to be near Nangong Xiao and the others. Nangong Xiao suggested that they go and pick up Irene directly.
Lim had the same idea. After the two of them discussed the route, they set off for the Cicimora Mansion.
In the Kichimora Residence, Nangong Xiao and Lim soon saw Irene, whom they hadn't seen for many days. As soon as they met, Irene shouted happily.
"Roasted chicken! Apple juice!"
Nangong Xiao was speechless.
"…"
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. I was just lamenting that the channel through which our relationship was established was a little magical.”After Nangong Xiao sat down, he casually retrieved a portion of roast chicken and apple juice from the system.
Irene also took it and started eating, leaving Lim speechless.
"Nanggong, Wamo…"
"Swallow it before you speak!" Nangong Xiao and Lim shouted in unison.
" Oh oh... Gulp..." Irene quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and took a sip of apple juice before saying," The situation is not good. His Majesty the King is not optimistic about our cooperation. His Majesty and the nobles of the kingdom are more optimistic about Tyner.”
"Understood. It's within my expectations." Nangong Xiao nodded and said," I didn't restrict your movements, right?”
"His Majesty has no intention of interfering, but he has decided that it will be a war between the lords. The capital will not give us any help.”
"Is King Gistardt betting on both sides?”
"You can say that." Irene paused for a moment before continuing," More importantly, Tyner and the Luriel family have always been in close contact. If there are no accidents, the current Luriel family's governor, Ludmilla. Luriel would intervene in this battle as the Lord and Battle Lady.”
Irene's words made Lim frown, but Nangong Xiao was still very calm, but he also asked curiously.
"Gisstardt doesn't prohibit the war between Battle Ladies?”
"The king sees us Battle Lady as a threat, understand?”Irene spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"Understood." Nangong Xiao nodded.
" One more thing. After the war, if I take Arthas as my territory and bring it into the Kingdom of Gistat, I must give Arthas to the king.”
" It seems that King Gistardt has gained a lot of benefits from Tenar, but he is not a short-sighted person. Your king wants Brunai to be more chaotic, and he also hopes that your Battle Lady's strength will be further weakened.”
"Oh? What do you mean?" Irene and Lim were both surprised.
"I believe your king understands Irene's character very well. Irene, you will never give up on Arthas. Not to mention that you are unwilling to lose this piece of meat that is in your mouth, even Irene's personal feelings are unwilling to let Arthas be destroyed by Tyner.”
"That's right, I won't leave Arthas alone. This is my promise, and a promise is my life.”Irene was very determined after she quoted Nangong Xiao's words.
" Since you don't give up on Arthas, then you will definitely go to war with Battle Lady Liudemira. After the battle of Dinant, the military strength of the Duchy of Wright Melitz has reached a peak. Even if they fight on two fronts, they might not be unable to hold on. Of course, even if they win in the end, the strength of the Duchy of Wright Melitz will be greatly reduced. This is completely in line with King Gisstartt's wishes. Then, an internal war would definitely break out in the Kingdom of Brunel. Regardless of whether it was the revenge of me and the Arthas subjects or Tynal's unwillingness to give up, an all-out war was already certain. Furthermore, if Tyner suffered too many losses in the process, then Canulong would not just stand by and watch. At that time, he might decisively use his troops against Tyner.
The war between the two Brunai dukes meant that the other nobles and lords of the Kingdom of Brunai would not be able to stand by and watch. They would soon be involved in the war. At that time, the Kingdom of Brunai would fall into the struggle for hegemony between me, Irene, Tynal, and Canulong.
At that time, King Gistardt only needed to use some means to support the weak side to attack the strong side. When the strong side became weak, he would support the weaker side. If this continued, Brunai would never have a peaceful day in a few years.
As long as Brunai was weakened to a certain extent, King Gistardt would directly lead his army to the west, and it was not impossible for Brunai to be destroyed.
In this process, not only would Brunai be destroyed, but it would also weaken the strength of Wright Melitz, who was currently at the height of his prestige. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.”
“!!”Irene and Lim's eyes widened. Such a long-term strategy was unbelievable to them. They were surprised by Nangong Xiao, but they also suspected that King Gistardt really had such a long-term vision.
