Chapter 326: Brother-in-law, Fiancee, and "Maids" (5000!!!)



Chapter 326: Brother-in-law, Fiancee, and "Maids" (5000!!!)

There is still some time before the wedding banquet.

After Rand proved his strength, no one bothered him anymore.

Obviously, Rand is very powerful and brave, so no one has any objection to Rand marrying Ellie.

Even if you have an opinion, you have to keep it to yourself.

The orcs are still wreaking havoc in the Principality of Green Shadow, and because the Principality of Green Shadow is already full of orcs, the scouts from the Kingdom of White cannot get in and gather any intelligence.

Therefore, the White Country now has no other strategies except strengthening its defenses.

So much so that Rand and the White King were somewhat idle.

Rand was not completely fine. He was looking at the geographical map of the White Country.

In fact, he also planned to investigate it himself.

If the orcs really invaded before the coldest days of winter, then Rand, the prince's fiancé, would certainly not be able to avoid it.

Either fight the enemy in person or command the army, or maybe even both.

If there had been no influence of Purgatory on the orcs, and if the White Kingdom had not had that ferocious beast enemy of unknown origin.

Given the White Country's defense capabilities, it is actually not that afraid of orcs.

But now it's different.

Must be treated with caution.

But there was no need to rush at the moment, so Rand was called out of the mansion by the White King.

The reason was to discuss important wedding matters and military and national affairs.

Because once the country's military problems are alleviated, the White King will have to face various women competing for beauty in front of him.

The dazzling array of flowers was indeed beautiful, but the White King was tired of seeing them.

So she chose to be Rand's tour guide, under the pretext of discussing development plans and military strategies.

In fact, it is just to relax and avoid being urged to get married.

At least the ladies of the White Kingdom would not flirt with Rand.

This is Prince Ellie's fiancé, and no one in the White Kingdom dares to seduce Rand.

"Since I introduced blended beer and blended juice, I have earned a lot of money from the nobles of the White Kingdom." Walking on the relatively prosperous commercial street, the White King asked Rand, "How do you think this money should be spent?"

"Liberate and develop productivity," Rand said.

"Say it so I can understand." The White King was already accustomed to Rand's words that he couldn't understand. In his past letters to Rand, Rand often wrote such words.

And the White King may be one of the few people in the world who can understand Rand's handwriting.

Most of the official documents issued by Rand were drafted by Olenna or Elsa, so he didn't have many opportunities to practice.

The only time you need to write is when you are writing a letter.

"Make farm tools, build roads, and construct carriages," Rand said. "You can make the serfs and freemen a little richer."

"Then," Rand changed the subject, "they'll have money to buy slightly better fabric for clothes, or maybe even some blended juice or distilled ale, and then the money will be in your hands again."

The White King and Rand walked side by side, and now he glanced at Rand.

She was thinking that if Ellie and Rand's child became the king of the White Kingdom, it might really be a good choice.

It is unknown how much of Rand's wisdom Ellie and Rand's child will inherit, but at least, if he really has the inheritance right, Rand will definitely be willing to do his best to help the development of the White Kingdom.

In this way, she won't have to be urged to get married anymore? And the pressure of governing the country will also be reduced. I am really looking forward to it.

The only thing that made her suffer was that Ellie would be away from her for a long time and she would have to sit on that throne alone.

In the White King and Rand walk side by side.

All the common people on the roadside knelt down, and the nobles also bent over or knelt on one knee to salute.

Rand witnessed the prestige of the White King in the White Kingdom.

Even though the White King told them not to perform the ceremony, these commoners and nobles still respected the White King from the bottom of their hearts.

"I think you could dress up in disguise next time you come out," Rand commented.

Although this is extremely honorable, it is very inconvenient.

The White King called Rand out this time on a sudden impulse, so he didn't think too much about it.

In the end, they chose to walk on a relatively remote road.

There are also some relatively quiet landscapes in the royal city.

Rand was very comfortable walking on the road. He didn't hate being the center of attention, but the level of respect the White King enjoyed was too much to affect his travel.

And on a secluded road, Rand met an acquaintance.

The current second prince of the Shimokuri Kingdom.

The second prince was chatting with a young woman who was also dressed luxuriously.

"Why is he here?" Rand asked the White King.

"I don't know him," said the White King.

Rand suddenly realized that because of the big bath incident a long time ago, he had never had much of a sense of the White King's status.

The White King is a king, and the king of the White Kingdom. He is the second prince of the Frost Moon Kingdom and is not worthy of her knowing.

"He is the second prince of the Frost Moon Kingdom," Rand explained.

The White King understood Rand's doubts and said, "Due to the previous experience of the Principality of Emerald Shadow and the Wisteria Kingdom, I made a request at the Northern United Conference."

"The kings of every country must send direct royal bloodlines to the front to prove that they take this orc invasion seriously." The White King said solemnly, "Otherwise I will withdraw the troops on the defense line, shrink them comprehensively, defend the main cities, and let the orcs go south."

Rand was watching intently. At this moment, the White King was full of the majesty of a "king" and the aura of a superior who had held power for a long time, which made Rand a little impressed.

The decisive and wise White King now seemed to be a different person from the White King who glared at him in the bathtub.

Rand took another look at the Second Prince. It turned out that he was here as a hostage. He thought that the King of Frost Moon Kingdom was so incompetent that he would send this useless Second Prince to lead the troops again.

"I want to go out for a walk," Rand said.

"Where?" asked the White King, his handsome face that was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman was dazzling in the sun.

"Go out. There are many areas on the map that I want to explore in person." Rand stepped on the brick and stone pavement of the streets in the White Kingdom's capital.

The quality of these bricks is not as good as those fired in Crescent Moon Collar, and the cost must be much higher, much higher.

Neither the White King nor Rand paid any attention to the Second Prince of the Frost Moon Kingdom, who seemed to be flirting on this path.

They continued walking forward without stopping.

"According to your judgment, the orcs will not spend the winter in the Kingdom of Emerald Shadow?" The White King's expression became a little more serious. "Instead, they will attack my country right away?"

"Yes!" Rand did not say anything ambiguous. "I am sure that the orcs will have to pay a price for accepting the power of Purgatory. It is a huge price, and it must not last too long."

"The orcs must be extremely anxious," Rand said firmly.

"I trust your judgment," said the White King. "If you leave the city, call Ellie with you. She hasn't seen this land for a long time."

Just as the White King and Rand were walking side by side on the road and chatting, the Second Prince of the Frost Moon Kingdom also noticed Rand.

At first, the second prince thought he was seeing things.

The White King actually walked side by side with Rand?

The Second Prince knew that Rand had such good luck that he ended up hooking up with the White King's sister.

But who is Rand to be worthy of walking side by side with the White King?

The earl was indeed a great noble, but there was still a huge gap between him and the king.

I guess it's just that the White King is open-minded and Rand is shameless.

Rand must have thought that as long as he had some kind of relationship, he would be entitled to be treated as an equal by the White King?

"What are you thinking about?" The woman in gorgeous clothes in front of the second prince shook the folding fan in her hand and asked.

The second prince came to his senses only then.

Because Rand used insidious means on him during the War of the Line, causing him to lose face in front of his father, he did not gain any command over the Frostmoon Kingdom's army when he came to the North this time.

But he still has a mission.

The task of marriage.

The eldest prince of the Frost Moon Kingdom married the princess of the Wisteria Kingdom, but the Wisteria Kingdom had already united with the northern powers and was being hunted down by everyone.

A good ally is gone just like that.

Originally, the second prince was arranged to marry the eldest daughter of Duke Thorn, but Duke Thorn said that his eldest daughter and his aunt were missing.

The king thought that Grand Duke Thorn must have made up an excuse, but the king had no way to deal with this shameless Grand Duke Thorn.

Grand Duke Thorn is the pillar of the kingdom. If there is a falling out with him, the Frost Moon Kingdom will be in chaos.

Therefore, they changed their strategy and arranged for the second prince to marry a princess from another country in order to find a new ally for the Frost Moon Kingdom.

So, the second prince originally liked the White King's younger sister Ellie very much, but now this opportunity has been taken away by Rand.

He had no choice but to choose the princess in front of him.

The princess is the third princess of the Haiyun Kingdom. After the second prince visited her, he felt that she had a better chance of becoming a target.

This time the princes and princesses from various countries in the Northern Alliance came to the front line, which was a good opportunity for marriage.

Otherwise, if you let your parents decide purely, who knows if your marriage partner will be a monster covered with black hair.

She was quite pretty, but it seemed that this country did not highly advocate bathing. Even if the second prince was not very close to her, he could smell a strange odor.

But it's still bearable.

The second prince pinched his nose and smiled as he introduced the White Kingdom's capital's buildings to the princess: "There are no common entertainment facilities like the big theater here. Instead, there is a martial arts arena."

On the way here, the second prince made up for some geographical and cultural knowledge of the White Kingdom's capital.

Now it is of some use.

Rand and the White King went to Rand's residence, which was the luxurious mansion.

Then he took everyone out of the city.

Not only Ellie, but the top leaders of the hideout also disguised themselves as maids and accompanied them.

Then the six men set off.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He didn't bring any guards.

Now the land of the Northern Union is in chaos and full of crises.

But if these six people were to stay together, bringing guards would become a burden.

The combined fighting power of these six people is enough to slay a dragon.

So when we go out of town it’s a bit like an outing.

They even brought a few extra horses to carry tents and food.

We will travel light this time, but we will probably be away for a few days or even more than ten days.

Since Rand judged that the orcs were about to invade, surveying the terrain was now of utmost priority.

It has been a long time since the White King himself has stepped out into the mountains and rivers of the White Kingdom.

The scenery of the north is full of rippling mountains and rivers.

After a while, it will be covered with snow and become a snowy country.

But the first winter snow has not yet fallen.

The autumn wind was a little chilly, but Rand was still fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the White Kingdom.

"Do you like the scenery here?" the White King asked suddenly.

Rand was about to nod when Ellie poked him in the waist.

Rand immediately became alert, looked at the White King, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The White King looked at Ellie, who was leaning against the wall. She did have some thoughts of tying Rand up in the White Kingdom, but Rand looked very alert.

It's not that she couldn't use force to keep Rand here, but that was obviously pointless.

The White King did not answer Rand's question.

Rand breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had overthought. It seemed that the sudden feeling of being kidnapped just now was an illusion.

Then Rand glanced at the map in his hand, handed it to Olenna, and said, "Olenna, take note."

Olenna pulled the hardboard from the bag beside her horse and took the map.

Then Rand dictated.

Olenna added a mark to the map.

Rand is no longer the ordinary modern man who just came into this world more than three years ago.

During these nearly four years of life experience, Rand has improved a lot through constant discussions with Taner and Fenris, as well as his own command practice.

Rand even took up the sword himself and fought in battle.

Rand is already a general who is truly good at military affairs.

The White King on the side believed that Rand might be a legendary military commander that only appears once in a century.

She had witnessed and participated in the Battle of the Winds, and witnessed the birth of the title of Rand Windseeker, and she knew that she had picked up a treasure.

Although Rand was not a general under her command, he was at least close enough to her.

If it weren't for Rand, she might have found it difficult to obtain the current artifact, and it would have been more difficult for her to deal with the White Kingdom's enemies.

Now facing the orcs who have obtained the power of Purgatory, they may be in a much more embarrassing situation.

"The goal this time is to destroy as many orcs as possible at the lowest cost." Rand proposed a strategy on horseback. "If the orcs really spend the winter in the Principality of Green Shadow, the same strategy will apply next spring."

Rand drew a line on the map.

This was Rand's second time to participate in a national-level war. The last time was when he participated in the Frost Moon Kingdom's civil war as an infantry commander of a legion.

The relationship between the northern united countries is undoubtedly much better than the situation where the southern kingdom would split into two alliances and go to war.

Although there are also countries like Cuiying Principality and Wisteria Kingdom that play by themselves behind closed doors.

There are also conflicts of interest between each other.

However, when facing the orcs, the northern countries are still quite united.

After the frontline countries led by the White King made their request, the other member states did not delay much. The princes and princesses brought the troops of various countries to the front line.

Several hundred years ago, it was because of this alliance that the countries of the Northern Alliance drove the orcs to the extremely cold northern border.

Only then can human beings thrive and multiply in this northern land.

Now the orcs are coming again, and the Northern Alliance is just uniting again.

Moreover, there have always been troops stationed in the North.

On the northern defense line, there is a solid and majestic castle. A noble general is patrolling the city wall with his soldiers.

The existence of the defense line can effectively prevent large-scale invasions by orcs.

The bunkers and castles that humans now rely on to resist the attacks of orcs have been damaged in many places.

The condition of the castle is relatively good. There are many damaged parts, but it can still be used after continuous repairs.

Moreover, now, the communication between these soldiers stationed on the defense line and the rear has not been cut off by the orcs.

Delivering supplies is now extremely dangerous, but the existence of the defense line is necessary.

Therefore, the northern united countries are still delivering supplies to the soldiers on the defense line instead of ordering them to withdraw.

On the city wall, noble generals were watching the orcs and trolls below the city.

No harpies appeared.

It is not accurate to say that they were under the city. The orcs and trolls were stationed outside the range of the castle's crossbows. If the generals defending the city did not have good eyesight, they would not be able to see too clearly.

Orcs and trolls are difficult to deal with.

It is still in normal state now.

But the noble generals tried to go out of the city to fight.

The bodies of some orcs and trolls will be covered with dark red cracks.

Both strength and speed will be greatly increased, extremely violent and fearless.

If he hadn't been cautious, he might have been breached.

After asking the soldiers guarding the city to keep an eye on the situation, the noble general noticed that supplies were being transported in through the small city gate at the rear.

There were orc troops stationed a few hundred steps in front of the castle, and they dared to transport supplies from the rear. The noble generals admired the courage of the soldiers who were transporting the supplies.

"Sir, there is a letter." At this time, a confidant walked up to the noble general and handed him a letter.

They have been stationed here for two years. It is actually time for a rotation this year, but now the orcs are invading in full force, so there is definitely no time for a rotation.

The noble general opened the letter sent to him by his family and took a look.

After reading it, he put it back into the envelope and wanted to put it in his pocket.

But he found himself wearing heavy plate armor, so he had to hold the letter in his hands.

At this time, the noble general also noticed that the confidant in front of him was holding an opened letter in his hand, and the sword at his waist was also replaced with a new one, which was a dagger of good quality.

The noble general smiled, handed the letter he had read to his confidant, and said, "Run an errand for me and put this letter under my pillow in my room."

Then he stared at the confidant's sword and continued, "I also have a blue shield with my family's crest in my room. It's very useful. I'll give it to you. You can take it yourself when you go to my room."

The henchman nodded and turned to leave.

The noble general looked at his confidant's back and smiled again. This confidant was the nephew of his vassal and had been with him for some years.

He was quite smart and fought bravely, so he decided to find an opportunity to promote him.

This confidant has no right to inherit the fiefdom, but after the Orc War is over, arrangements can be made for him.

I hope the rear can find a way to drive the orcs away as soon as possible.

He had been waiting in this castle for a while.
