Mino turned his head in surprise. Not far behind him stood a well-off old man, looking at him with a mixture of surprise, joy, and bewilderment.
Although it had been almost two years since the last time I came to celebrate my uncle's birthday, and his face had become unfamiliar, I still recognized him at a glance.
"uncle?"
Mino was stunned. Wasn't her uncle the king of the Duchy of Carter? How could he be here, dressed like this?
The old king was delighted to see his two nephews and quickly greeted them.
The uncle and his nephew were naturally very warm to each other when they met.
The old king led the two to a large manor, not far from the town.
After they arrived in the Dragon Territory, they were settled here. Although most of their wealth was taken and kept by the dragon, what remained was enough for their large family of over five hundred people to eat, drink, and live on.
After listening to his nephew's account, the old king's face also showed anger. His sister's child had been so humiliated!
But when Mino mentioned wanting the old king's help to take revenge, a look of helplessness appeared on his plump face: "Mino, if you had come a few days earlier, I could have helped you, but now I am no longer the king, and I have no wealth left. I'm afraid I am powerless to do anything about these things!"
Then, the old king told Mino about what had happened during this time.
He's just an ordinary landowner now, except he has a wife and children that most people have.
Mino couldn't hide his disappointment. Even his only hope, his uncle, couldn't help him anymore. Who else could he turn to for revenge?
"Damn it! Are we just going to let that damned woman take my father's throne?!"
"I'm willing to give up everything just to kill that woman!"
The old king hesitated for a moment: "If you're willing to give everything, that dragon might be able to help you!"
Mino was taken aback and looked at the old king: "Uncle, are you talking about that lord here?"
The old king nodded: "If you are willing to give everything, that greedy and shameless dragon will definitely be willing to help you take revenge. However, by then, the country may have nothing to do with you anymore!"
Mino hesitated this time. He was just saying it; he wasn't really willing to give it up.
After much deliberation and hesitation, he asked the old king, "Uncle, could you introduce me to that lord?"
Looking at the conflicted expression on his nephew's face, the old king knew that he had probably made a decision, but he probably wanted to try again.
He immediately nodded, called over one of his sons (he couldn't remember which son this was), and asked him to take Mino to see Little Mary.
His once most beloved daughter is now a favorite of this lord.
Su Qing still harbors a unique affection for Xiao Mary.
After all, it was his first pot of gold and the capital that enabled him to start his business.
So when Mary told him that she had a cousin who wanted to see her, he didn't refuse.
Su Qing looked at Mino, who had changed into a proper outfit, and Minnie, who was hiding behind him, and unconsciously narrowed his dark golden dragon eyes.
Why should I help you?
Su Qing remained calm and composed.
"If my lord is willing to help me reclaim the throne, I am willing to follow your lead without question!"
Mino said, "I'm also willing to pay the lord fifty thousand gold coins."
Su Qing was somewhat uninterested.
His primary objective is still dealing with the Duchy of Roland; such a small amount of profit wouldn't be enough to make him spare time to help a prince reclaim the throne when facing a formidable enemy.
Seeing that the dragon in the main seat didn't seem interested, Mino knew that his offer hadn't attracted the dragon. He gritted his teeth and finally stopped hesitating.
"As long as my lord can help me take revenge and kill that wicked woman, I am willing to offer up the Duchy of Renault with both hands."
Su Qing is energetic; if you talk about this, he won't be sleepy anymore.
I opened the few pieces of information I had just gathered; they were about the Duchy of Renault.
He glanced at it briefly, nodded, and found it weaker than he had imagined; the entire country had only one high-ranking knight and three great knights.
This level of corruption isn't even worth his personal attention!
After a moment's thought, Su Qing decided to send Li Ming and the female knight whose name he couldn't remember with two thousand men to help Mino get revenge.
This kind of war, which is based on a righteous cause, is quite simple: taking the capital city means controlling the entire country.
Then just gradually take them over!
On the contrary, invasions require slowly conquering the entire territory.
If everything goes smoothly, your wealth will soon experience a significant increase.
Su Qing made the arrangements and then picked up the information about the Duchy of Roland.
It must be said that this nation, with its explosive combat power, also has a terrifyingly fast pace of action. In this short period of time, it has almost taken over all the territories surrounding the Dragon Territory.
Only the southern border with the Duchy of Renault remains open.
According to the information gathered, the Duchy of Roland has mobilized 50,000 troops and is preparing for war, seemingly about to launch an attack.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon Territory, with his two strongest henchmen and two thousand elite troops dispatched, Su Qing could only mobilize a maximum of five thousand soldiers.
The gap in strength between the two sides is too large.
But in reality, the key to victory or defeat in this war lies between Su Qing and the enemy's high-end combat forces.
Regardless of who wins or loses, those ordinary soldiers won't be able to cause any trouble.
Su Qing fell into thought, realizing that he had failed somewhat in his role as lord.
He had too few capable people under his command, and he had to personally take charge of every battle. Establishing an academy to cultivate talent was now an urgent matter.
After defeating the Duchy of Roland, we can completely annex the original territory of the Duchy of Carter and then establish an academy.
Su Qing began to plan for the future. After this battle, he did not intend to start any more wars for the next three years, but instead to focus on development and land acquisition.
After conserving their strength, they began to annex the entire Northwest.
Just as he was making these plans, the Duchy of Roland was finally ready.
Fifty thousand troops lined up, their terrifying fighting spirit rising and converging on their commander.
General Jenny controlled this enormous force, which in turn benefited the army.
At a single command, the army set off!
P.S.: During the new book period, I need your strong support. Shamelessly, I'm asking for your votes!
grateful!
