That's very badass

Chapter 105 Sabotey's Ambition
Kingdom of Rhodes, Hall of Kings.

Intelligence Chief Ilya Galwan was kneeling below, and beside him was a tied secret whistle, which can be seen from his clothing.

There have been enough bad things recently, but his chief of intelligence has given him this one. He knows that there must be some big mistake in the intelligence work, otherwise they wouldn't be apologizing.

This obviously irritated His Majesty Rhodes' nerves. He suppressed his anger and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Tell me, Ilya Galvan, what happened."

Listening to His Majesty Rhodes' calm words and the unconcealable anger on his face, all this indicates that His Majesty has a bad temper.

But the suicide of the dead man had been seen by the guards, and it had been spread within the intelligence department, so he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

For this reason, he had no choice but to muster up the courage to come here at the first time, in case His Majesty knew the news from other places. At that time, he might be punished more severely for concealing it.

He knew that this hurdle still had to be faced.

Therefore, he could only choose to report the beginning and end of the matter to His Majesty without any embellishments, and knelt on the ground to wait for His Majesty's instructions.

"Stupid things, look at what you have done, this must be a spy from the Kingdom of Hastings. You'd better pray that there will be no accidents to the Marquis Lite, otherwise no one will be able to protect you.

Go to jail yourself, Ilya Galvan, and as for that idiot next to you, cut it off. "

His Majesty Rhodes was also furious as expected, he would get angry whenever he saw the two idiots below, and after speaking, he waved his hand to signal the imperial guards to take them all down.

Elijah Galwan, who was taken away, was obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem, and his guess was confirmed by His Majesty that the dead man was from the Kingdom of Hastings.

Although His Majesty is only guessing, because there is nothing to prove his identity, but as an intelligence officer attached to His Majesty, His Majesty said that is so.

And they, who were planning to go to war with the Kingdom of Rhodes, got the news of the Kingdom's gathering of troops.They will definitely not wait until the kingdom gathers an army to have a head-on confrontation with the kingdom. This is something no fool will do.

They will only choose to launch a thunder strike, and the target is of course Marquis Lite, who has assembled an army of [-] at the border. As His Majesty said, if something happens to Marquis Lite, he must be buried with him.

He looked at the subordinates around him, only to realize that he was just a bigger grasshopper.

After the imperial guards took them away, His Majesty Rhodes immediately called the affairs officer and began to order his countermeasures.

"Call all the cavalry in the city, let them disperse, and inform the lords of all walks to abandon the auxiliary troops and march towards the royal capital with all their strength. The nobles along the way must provide the necessary accommodation and food. Of course, all the expenses will be borne by the royal family.

At the same time, the logistics manager, Viscount Ula, was informed to let them speed up the collection of food and other logistics materials, and recruit more civilians to serve as auxiliary soldiers.

At the same time, they urgently mobilized a batch of supplies and shipped them to the noble territories of various places, telling them that the royal family valued their promises.

At the same time, collect information on all those who need to be knighted, regardless of whether he has met the requirements of soldiers, as long as they respond to the call, they can get the title.Brace yourselves, this may be the most hasty knighting ceremony in the history of the kingdom. "

Considering that all the nobles are masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, it is obviously not possible to mobilize enough compensation in a short time. If there is time, His Majesty Rhodes will not make such a bad move.

You must know that those expenditures are all the wealth of the Rhodes family.

The current plan is to fulfill some promises first, and tell them that follow-up compensation is on the way, otherwise they will never follow through without seeing any compensation.

The military action was disclosed, and all these decisions were made as a last resort. Now he can only hope that the nobles and pioneer lords can understand that without the protection of the kingdom, they are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered That's all.

"Your Majesty, this?"

"Okay, don't be embarrassed. You think Viscount Wula said he has no money, so he really has no money. That's just his trick, to prevent you from abusing funds. After so many years of peace, I really think I don't even have money for a war Can't afford it?"

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will arrange it now."

"Wait a minute, release Ilya Galvan, and tell him to send a message to the southern nobles, telling them not to come to the royal capital again, and to join Marquis Lit immediately to resist the attack from the Kingdom of Hastings."

Baron Silva, who heard this, could faintly feel His Majesty's pain. In fact, he was also quite pained, but His Majesty had already spoken, and as an officer, he had no choice but to follow suit.

His Majesty Rhodes has no control over whether the release of the intelligence chief will deal a blow to his prestige. Compared with prestige, war is obviously more important.

Although he could indeed promote another chief of intelligence, he didn't want to change hastily at this juncture. The new chief of intelligence would certainly not know the department as well as Galvan.

This will even cause confusion in the intelligence community, which he does not want to see.

It would be a big taboo to change in the middle of the battle, and the same is true for this matter.

The intelligence chief who was released again felt that he had had a nightmare. He even doubted that he had not woken up yet. It was not until he slapped his subordinate and looked at him with resentful eyes that he devoted himself to his work.

Looking down from the heights, everyone was mobilized. Except for the soldiers, there was no pedestrian on the street. Except for the dead man, the entire capital was under martial law!

And the cavalry regiment of the king's capital also held the flag and rode their horses all the way to leave the king's city, and scattered away.

Kingdom of Hastings, royal city.

This was the former city of the Hastings family, but it was expanded after the founding of the country, and it became the size of a royal city.

Mel was teasing the ravens as usual, when a raven landed on the window sill and made a harsh cry, as if reminding him to come and get the letter quickly.

"Wait a minute, my baby, don't you see that I'm teasing Brother Huo?"

However, there was no one else in the dark room, obviously he was communicating with another raven, but the raven on the window sill kept making calls, which made him a little annoyed.

"Come, come, I"

Apparently he found this raven unusual, except for the foot where the letter was tied, there were three red ribbons tied to the other foot.

He knew that this was an important letter from the Kingdom of Rhodes, and after a while, he successfully caught the raven.He didn't choose to take the letter, but took the raven directly to find his supervisor.

Of course, all of this is to avoid being mistaken for having read the letter. This is also the reason why he has been able to be a raven manager for so long. It is due to his caution.

Sure enough, seeing his cautious attitude, the chief intelligence officer nodded in satisfaction.But he chose not to do that, but took down the letter directly, because he knew that the letter must have been sealed with wax.

This is the real insurance, he took the letter directly to His Majesty's study.

But he still didn't reveal this fact. His subordinates must be cautious in order to reduce mistakes. This is a rigid requirement he has for his subordinates.

"Your Majesty, there is the latest news from the Kingdom of Rhodes."

"Bring it up."

His Majesty Sha Botai read the letter over and over several times, with a smile on his face.King Rhodes' move to recruit nobles was very decisive, and he admitted that he underestimated King Rhodes.

He originally thought that King Rhodes would choose to summon the nobles when his army came under pressure. He didn't expect him to act so quickly now, but this was exactly what he wanted.

At least he doesn't have to face other nobles asking when the war will start all day long.

"Viscount Woolf, you have done a good job in this matter. After obtaining this letter, we can take the initiative instead of waiting foolishly for the Rhodes Kingdom to gather troops.

The value of this secret letter is at least worth tens of thousands of elite troops. Very well, after the war, I will definitely raise your title by one rank.

As for the spy, regardless of whether he can come back safely, his family will be given a place as a knight, but he must pass the assessment. "

Unlike the Kingdom of Rhodes, as the intelligence chief of the Kingdom of Hastings, he holds a title.They will not be treated unfairly for engaging in intelligence work, at least that is the case with His Majesty Shabotai.

Presumably, it is this character of rewarding for every merit that makes Viscount Woolf and his spies work so hard.

After hearing about the war, Viscount Woolf felt that he would be promoted to the title. "Yes, Your Majesty, Dion happens to have two sons. He must be more loyal when he knows the news."

King Shabotai is obviously very satisfied with this answer, especially the word "loyalty". In his opinion, some small favors can make people sacrifice their lives. This is simply the most cost-effective deal in the world. .

That's why rights are so fascinating, allowing countless people to step into this vortex one after another.

"There is one more thing you need to do. Send a letter to the other nobles on the border, asking them to send troops directly to defeat Crow Litt's army before the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Rhodes arrive.

If you can't break them, try to surround them as much as possible, so that they can't gather more troops into the city, and then encircle them to fight for reinforcements while occupying as much territory as possible. This is a good opportunity.

At the same time, it was announced to the public that the Kingdom of Rhodes is gathering a large army and preparing to invade our territory. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, this subordinate must handle this matter beautifully."

Looking at Viscount Woolf who was leaving, King Shabotai fell into deep thought.

Although the plan was forced to advance, it did not have any impact on the kingdom strategically, because they had been preparing for this matter for a long time, and even to a certain extent, this would have a beneficial impact on the kingdom.

After these years of development, the strength of the nobles in the kingdom is almost three times that of the neighboring countries. Generally speaking, the earl's soldiers range from [-] to [-], and most of them are [-].

The Earls of the Kingdom of Hastings generally have [-] soldiers, although only most of them are recruits who have been trained for several months.

But they had already completed the mobilization of elite soldiers, except that they did not mobilize the border nobles bordering the Kingdom of Rhodes, because they were already creating friction at that time, and they were afraid of attracting their attention.

But even so, at the border of the Rhodes Kingdom, they still have an absolute numerical advantage. This is in terms of the number of soldiers. As for the quality, it can only be known after the battle.

However, the armor rate of one's own kingdom must be higher than theirs, because their armor rate has reached [-]%.

The land in the kingdom has already become landless. This is their crisis, because if this problem is not dealt with, it will inevitably intensify the internal friction in the kingdom, as can be seen from the increasing battles for land.

This is also their opportunity, because the people's demand for land and external conflicts that can be transferred will make them fight more ferociously and fearlessly. They will become the sharpest spears and pierce the decayed shield of the Rhodes Kingdom.

Because there is no direct mobilization order for war, they have not yet chosen the border of Chen Bing, and the Kingdom of Rhodes is the first to mobilize, which will definitely give them a favorable position in diplomacy, and they can even pour dirty water on the Kingdom of Rhodes.

It is said that they have plotted against the law, even the news of the orcs can be used, and it is said that they have faked threats, all of which are 'evidence' of their vain attempt to invade the Kingdom of Hastings.

The purpose is to occupy their fertile land. This lie, which is mostly false and factual, must be convinced by the other two countries, because it is an indisputable fact that the Rhodes Kingdom gathered a large army.

What's more, they are also coveting the land of the Kingdom of Hastings. Although this will not allow them to support themselves, it can also paralyze them to a certain extent, so that they choose to wait and see.

Everyone knows that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. From their point of view, the Rhodes Kingdom is coming in a menacing manner, and they must have something to rely on. They will definitely wait for both sides to lose out before choosing to enter the arena.

After all, it is the dream of every nobleman to obtain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.

This is also due to their greedy nature, although this is just their delusion.

Even if the Kingdom of Rhodes publicizes it to the outside world and it is Hastings Kingdom that takes the lead in creating friction, they will inevitably waver in the face of completely different announcements from the two countries. If they can buy a little time, that will be enough.

What's more, from the very beginning, the Kingdom of Hastings was ready to face the Three Kingdoms.

When the Kingdom of Hastings defeated the Kingdom of Rhodes, they would wake up. At that time, what troubled them must be because they missed the best time to attack, and they felt tricky again, even timid.

Thus giving the kingdom more reaction time to mobilize more troops for defense, it will become a difficult tug-of-war. Flesh Mill and Hastings Kingdom's food and ordnance reserves can't be consumed, so they don't necessarily up.

After digesting the fruits of the Kingdom of Rhodes, the Kingdom of Hastings lost the constraints of land. After combining the grain production areas and the vast land of the Kingdom of Rhodes, the population will inevitably lead to a new round of growth.

Unifying the human world will become a simple matter of time.

At that time, the Kingdom of Hastings will inevitably become the "Hastings Empire". Now that the First Empire has covered its infrastructure, its descendants will surely surpass the First Empire and completely wipe out all foreign races, thus becoming the "Hastings Empire". The ultimate overlord on the continent.

And when people who have suffered from land restrictions ushered in a new land, they would inevitably retaliate with a heavy blow to the invaders who tried to occupy their land.

When an invasion becomes protracted, there will inevitably be different voices in the country, and nobles who cannot see the benefits or even suffer heavy losses will inevitably refuse to continue fighting.

The same reasoning also applies to the Kingdom of Hastings, so he said that this news is very important, they must be able to besiege the entire land south of Rhodes in this raid,
And wait for the arrival of the army, complete the first heavy damage to the Rhodes Kingdom, and occupy a large piece of land at the same time.

The nobles who have tasted the benefits are bound to be like the ravens who have tasted the carrion, and they will not leave for a long time.

Looking at the cavalry with the king's banner in front of him, Roland had an ominous premonition in his heart, "Everyone, stop."

Following the order conveyed by the flag officer, the entire team slowly stopped.

Soon a cavalry came directly towards Roland's team, while the other cavalry scattered along the road.

The cavalryman looked at the army in front of him suspiciously. He had never seen this kind of banner with a sickle and an axe. Could this be a pioneering lord?It's just that there are too many troops. How long has it been since there was such a powerful pioneering lord in the kingdom?

Fortunately, he found the flag of Viscount Whitnett. He rode his horse directly to the front of the army, dismounted, saluted and said, "Good day, my lord, and the lords of the Whitnet family. Your Majesty's The order is hereby conveyed to you.

Due to the changed situation, His Majesty requires you to abandon your auxiliary troops and rush to the royal capital quickly. "

"And what about our supplies, soldier?"

"We have already greeted the nobles along the way, you can get supplies from them, there will not be many but enough for your use, because there are too many troops in need of supplies.

After rushing to the capital, you don't need to worry about this problem. "

"Okay, we've figured it out, go ahead with your mission, soldier."

After Roland finished speaking, the cavalryman got on his horse again and left after a salute.

It seems that war has already broken out, Roland guessed so.

"Andal, inform the auxiliary troops to withdraw along the road. In addition, inform everyone to prepare for a rapid march. We must get to the royal capital as soon as possible."

"Okay, my lord."

Andal took the order and immediately headed towards the auxiliary troops, preparing to convey the Lord's latest order.

"Knight Jeremy, let the auxiliary soldiers go back together. Let's follow Lord Roland closely."

Looking at Miss Vicky who was giving orders swiftly and resolutely, Roland had to admit that as a general, she did have a different kind of charm.

Watching the auxiliary soldiers slowly push the supplies back, under the leadership of Roland, the whole army began to speed up and head towards the capital.
