Chapter 356: southern rebels
Chapter 356 Southern Rebels
With the rise of the southern rebels, the Loen people who have been preparing for more than ten years finally showed the results of their long-term operation here.
And the nobles and officials of the Kingdom of Lorenzo also showed off the assembly line again. The equipment of tens of thousands of troops, countless military supplies, a large number of instructors who trained soldiers, and even the regular army of Ruen Federation, which exceeded tens of thousands of people, all passed All kinds of overt or dark channels were smuggled here from the main world, becoming the backbone and flesh and blood of the rebels. Under the eyes of the Kingdom of Lorenzo, a huge army of more than 200,000 people was armed.
This time the rebellion in the south is different from the previous petty fights in the northern provinces. The relatively wealthy south is the real base of the Luen people. Most of the more than 200,000 rebels are not the rebels who rise up, but secretly accept it. The trained real army, including the private soldiers of the local nobles, the guards of the capitalists' homes and factories, the patrols of the big landlords, and even the government's police, as well as the local garrison that was instigated.
The entire southeastern province has been completely mastered by the revolutionary army and the Ruen people, which is why Silabel has long been informed that the southeastern province is going to rebel, but did not go south to suppress the rebellion in advance.
The only thing she can truly trust is the elite janitorial army of less than 90,000 people stationed in the royal capital Steinard.
Although these Imperial Guards are elite and loyal, they are not enough to use. Excluding the basic defensive strength of the capital, Silabel can bring out only 50,000 mobile troops at most.
At this point, if the army enters the southeastern province, it will soon fall into the sea of "people's war", so Silabel adopts the strategy of drawing snakes out of the hole, allowing the enemy to take the initiative to leave the southern lair to attack the red fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In order to achieve this strategic goal, Silabel had even been ready for a long time, but she had not gone to the Scarlet Fortress for fear of interfering with the plans of the rebels. She had already selected the Scarlet Fortress as the end of the 200,000 rebels. land.
Stinard City, Prime Minister's Office.
Marquis Capson was sitting in the tea room, drinking tea while reading a newspaper, dressed in casual clothes, looking very comfortable.
At this time, Covance, who was the secretary, knocked on the door and came in. He bowed his head respectfully and said, "Sir, there is news from the barracks outside the city that Sir Silabel has led the Guards."
"Oh?" Marquis Capson put down the newspaper, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and asked, "How many troops did she take away?"
Although he is the prime minister of the kingdom, Kapson has little influence on the army, especially after Silabel took over the military power, he used the spy methods of the special bureau to quickly dominate the power, excluding all dissidents, even the prime minister did not Know how many troops this time.
Covance was very competent as a secretary. He knew what Marquis Capson wanted to know, and immediately replied: "The total number is about 50,000, of which about 20,000 are ordinary soldiers, and more than 30,000 are extraordinary and knights."
Marquis Capson frowned: "She really dares! She actually took away all the extraordinary power of the eighth floor. It seems that the more than 200,000 rebels in the south have put a lot of pressure on her this time!"
Covance said: "Yes, according to the internal response we arranged in the Guards, this time Lord Silabel promised a big reward, one hundred gold pounds for killing one enemy, and five hundred gold pounds for killing extraordinary people. Two hundred pounds for the disabled, five hundred pounds for the dead…”
Capson couldn't help but sneered proudly after hearing this: "It's a lot of money, but does she have so much money? Really..."
However, he was only halfway through his words, but he stopped abruptly, his brows furrowed, as if he had thought of something, and waved his hand to signal Covance to go out.
Covance was bewildered, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He turned around and backed out, leaving only Marquis Capson sitting there with a dignified expression.
A few minutes later, Marquis Capson took a big sip from the already cold teacup and murmured, "Have you finally reached this point? Grand Duke Mora, did you just give up this void world?"
Just now, he wanted to laugh at Silabel for drawing a cake and fooling the soldiers under him, but suddenly thought of another possibility, that is, Silabel doesn't really need to pay so many gold pounds at all, or it is not necessarily wrong to go south to the Scarlet Fortress this time. To annihilate the rebels, it may be time to make a final choice.
As the Prime Minister of Lorenzo Kingdom in the Void World, Marquis Capson's wisdom and political sensitivity are beyond doubt. Although Archduke Mora did not reveal to him the idea of giving up this place, through various signs, he Still found clues, and roughly guessed the result.
When Marquis Capson thought for the first time that Archduke Mora might give up this void world, he immediately denied his crazy and ridiculous idea, because he knew better than anyone that the interests of a void world, even for a For a powerful natural disaster-level powerhouse and the entire Lorenzo Kingdom, it is not easy to let go.
But calm down, Marquis Capson analyzed it carefully, but was shocked to find that nothing seemed impossible.
Because the Kingdom of Lorenzo is actually operating this Void World No. 12 at a loss. Although the Void World generates a lot of wealth every year, these wealth are divided up by nobles, bureaucrats, and capitalists. In the hands of the kingdom, except for a lot of Outside of the bill, there's not a single benefit worth mentioning.
At that time, Marquis Capson broke out in a cold sweat. As the Prime Minister of Void World No. 12, no one knew the actual situation better than him, but he didn't think there was anything wrong at first, because when he took over from his predecessor That's it.
What made him even more terrifying was that it was impossible for Grand Duke Mora to give up this void world alone. At least King Prady XIV on the main world certainly agreed.
But he, the prime minister, the number one figure in the government, and the leader in the name of the aristocracy, didn't hear any rumors, what does this mean!
It is clear that both Prady XIV and Archduke Maura have distrusted him.
Marquis Capson was very frightened in his heart, and he quickly launched personal connections to inquire about news in the main world, but still nothing.
There was no trouble in the main world, as if he was thinking too much, but the more he did, the more uneasy he felt. He felt that it was just the tranquility before the storm.
Because of this, even though Marquis Capson found that the secretary beside him was sent by the Revolutionary Army and was a multi-faceted spy, he did not act rashly. .
Now that with Silabel leaving the capital, Marquis Capson has confirmed his original guess, so what should I do next? Is it a desperate attempt to help the revolutionary army and occupy Steinard, both internally and externally, or continue to wait and see the further development of the situation?
Marquis Capson's brows were furrowed, and the scene of the dracolich circling over Steinard suddenly appeared in his mind. His wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun. A shiver, abandon the cranky thoughts in his head, what should be inside and outside, let's wash and sleep, with that terrifying monster suppressing, even if there is no Silabel, Steinard is still impeccable.
"Is that terrifying dracolich a summoned item of Her Royal Highness Princess Mulesina?" Marquis Capson guessed in his heart. In his opinion, the entire Lorenzo Kingdom can subdue and control such a powerful dracolich. There is only that natural disaster grade necromancer.
At the same time, in the palace.
The little king was gnawing at a red apple, which was his way of venting.
Marquis Veron stood beside him, watching the little king eat the juice splashing, his face also covered with a haze.
Suddenly, with a bang, the little king slammed the half-eaten apple to the ground, and shouted: "Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! How dare he dare that bastard? A marquis killed him if he said it, he thought he was Who? Even Silabel wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. I want... I want to kill him, I swear! And that **** Silabel is also the culprit. Without her support, that **** couldn't be so bold son."
"Your Majesty, calm down, be careful with your words and deeds!" Marquis Veron's low voice was somewhat stern, and he understood the reason why walls have ears.
The little king can insult Green at will, but he can't bring Silabel with him. This is the essential difference. At present, Green's identity is at best a low-level noble who has gained power for a while, but Silabel is different. That is Grand Duke Mora. The person he values is even rumored to be the illegitimate daughter of Duke Mora.
If the rumors are true, the daughter of a natural disaster grade powerhouse will be treated like a princess wherever she goes, and Silabel's own strength and power alone are enough to make him and the little king unable to eat and walk.
The little king stared at Marquis Veron, gasping for breath, like an angry kitten, but under Marquis Veron's unavoidable gaze, he persisted for a moment and still looked away, although in his heart he looked away. Not angry, but he knew very well that Marquis Veron's reminder was for his own good, and the words that attacked Silabel just now should not be said.
A stern look flashed in the eyes of the little king, and he gritted his teeth: "Let's not say anything else, that man named Wood, I want him to pay the price immediately! Uncle Lancenot can't die in vain!"
It turned out that the Marquis of Lancenot, who was thrown to death not long ago, was actually the uncle of the little king.
Marquis Veron showed an embarrassed expression. After this time, Green has shown at least legendary strength. It is not easy to avenge Marquis Lansnot according to the intention of the little king.
Seeing Marquis Veron's hesitation, the little king took out another apple from his side, took a bite, chewed it, swallowed after a few bites, and said fiercely: "This matter is not discussed, that person Must die, no matter what the difficulty or the price. Marquis Veron! You must do this, or..."
Marquis Veron raised his eyebrows, of course he heard the threat of the little king, and could not help but flicker of murderous intent in his eyes, but he was able to cover it up well, lowered his head and said, "As you wish, my majesty."
