Lord of Lowland

Chapter 523 Cecil retreats

King Rex looked at High Priest Clifford suspiciously. He knew that High Priest Clifford and Cecil had done the right thing more than once. If there was a trick to kill Cecil, he would have used it long ago. The result is now After being beaten all over the place by Cecil, it was hard to imagine that he would have any unused tricks.

"Don't worry, it's not just me this time. The strength of Earl Cecil has already caused dissatisfaction among many people. Many people are willing to join hands with me to suppress him. The crystal ball is not just for you King Rex, I will also show it to those who are capable of suppressing him on this continent. These strong men should all feel the threat of Cecil's strength. I think as long as there is only one person left of him, then our strength will be enough to wipe him out. I will keep running and contacting about this matter until the bastard Cecil falls down." The high priest Clifford's tone was very calm, but there was an element of resentment revealed between the words.

King Rex was not surprised by this. If he said that he wanted to deal with Cecil because he was afraid of his strength, then the High Priest Clifford was out of hatred. This High Priest is now in the greatest crisis of his life Among them, this crisis was formally created by Cecil's step-by-step growth. These two people can be said to have a deep hatred. Compared with himself, Clifford is indeed more eager to kill Cecil, whether it is profit or dignity. It's still his own hatred. Priest Clifford probably wants to kill Cecil a hundred times more than himself.So King Rex doesn't need to worry about whether he is paying attention or not.But there are still doubts about whether he can do it.

Compared with these two people, Cecil can now be said to be proud of the horseshoe disease. The resources of the Mancini province are really very rich, especially the population. Although the people here used to live under the rule of the Aluk Empire, those who All the small lords were beaten away by Cecil, and Cecil easily won the support of the people. The method he used was very simple, that is, to reduce the land rent by 50%. This trick is very good no matter what era it is It can be used, but only a rich man like Cecil can use it in this way. The fortune made in Digo Morgan's castle is enough for Cecil to buy people's hearts without thinking about money.

But Cecil has no intention of staying here. Now that he has passed the recent battle, Cecil is very confident in his own strength. Now that he has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Ailuk Empire, there are spies to report, and there is nothing around him. Forces that can pose a threat to themselves are nearby.Cecil thought that it was very likely that the Ailuk Empire had gathered a large number of troops to guard the imperial capital, but Cecil did not want to attack the imperial capital at all. Instead, he wanted to send troops and horses to attack in all directions and capture as much territory as possible. This can also end the war as soon as possible.

Yes, ending the war as soon as possible is what Cecil wants most. Cecil doesn't have as much ambition as King Rex or Clifford discussed, and his ambition doesn't even have that much room. to grow, because he still has a confidant—Sandro.Now the shadow of Sandro's death always weighs on his heart like a boulder.All Cecil did was to end the war as soon as possible so that he would have time to deal with Sandro.

Just as Cecil was preparing to send troops to sweep away the territory of the Ailuk Empire, a huge dragon eagle flew over from the south. Cecil knew at a glance that it was sent from the royal capital of Issara City. Now Only the Kingdom of Soroland has such a huge dragon eagle.Cecil hurriedly rushed forward. At this time, the dragon eagle knight on top of the dragon eagle also discovered Cecil and landed quickly.Cecil and other generals hurriedly surrounded him.The dragon eagle knight stopped the dragon eagle and hurriedly got off the dragon eagle and handed the king's letter to Cecil.

Of course, this is King Rex's order to Cecil to stop the march, saying that the Eluk Empire has reached an armistice agreement with the Sololan Empire. Prince Si, and ceded the territory of three provinces.King Rex ordered all the generals on the front line to stop marching, withdraw the troops to the position where the war broke out, and stand by.

Cecil's subordinates were blown up at the time, and they all scolded King Rex. The current war situation is very good. Since the defeat of the Aluk Empire, the middle road has opened up. Cecil's mistakes can almost sweep In most areas of the Eluk Empire, and now everyone is extremely confident in Cecil's combat effectiveness. Almost all the personnel are full of confidence. They are determined to make extraordinary achievements, and even directly destroy the Eluk Empire It's not impossible. Those ambitious people among the generals are already thinking about whether it is possible for Cecil to leave the kingdom and occupy a large area of ​​the Eluk Empire and then stand on his own. I didn't expect this to be the result, Aluk The three provinces obtained by the empire through the contract are all barren areas, and the three provinces combined are not as large as the Mancini province.Clear loss-making business.

The soldiers were all agitated, and asked Cecil to ignore His Majesty's peace treaty, continue to march, and occupy the Aluk Empire in an all-round way. Because they couldn't figure out what Cecil meant, they didn't dare to tell Cecil to rebel Speaking of self-reliance, I just kept repeating to Cecil that it is a pity to withdraw the troops now. It is better to chase the poor and continue to attack the Aluk Empire. As long as they have victories, His Majesty the King will certainly not It would be a pity to continue marching, blaming them and even rewarding them.

But Cecil didn't pay attention to these voices, and immediately gave up all the occupied territories and ordered the whole army to start withdrawing. He is not an ambitious person. If it was in normal times, he would be forcibly ordered for a good situation. It's a pity to withdraw the troops, but now he has the important matter of dealing with Sandro in his heart. Cecil really doesn't care about these emperors' hegemony in the world. Now when he is fighting for time with Sandro, Once the war is over, you will have more time to find out the whereabouts of the other components of the Light of Dawn.Now Cecil only has Sandro as an enemy in his eyes, and he doesn't take the rest too seriously. Dealing with Sandro is the top priority, and the rest don't pose any threat to him at all. Strength determines your level of danger.Determine your vision and upper limit.
