Chapter 359: The strategy of the Bolun Kingdom is set, and the Burning Land agrees to act on its own

Dressed in an evening gown, Lisa swayed in the dim basement.

She had long known that Rand was a talented sadist.

When vision is blocked, other senses become more sensitive.

The cat's tail inside her clothes was still moving.

There is still a lot of melted and solidified wax on the body.

There were still a few whip marks on the delicate skin.

But Rand left halfway through drawing.

Judging from the sudden temperature I felt, it should be Karin.

This means that the woman who was locked in the basement by Rand last time should also be Karin.

Did the Saint of the Torch Church and Rand have such a secret relationship? Lysa felt that she had discovered a secret.

The Saint of the Torch Church actually has the same hobby as me?

But now, when will Rand come back?

She felt that the "punishment" was far from enough.

…

According to the information sent back by the intelligence department of the hideout.

The Kingdom of Bolan is ready to make a move.

The Kingdom of Renza may also take action.

The probability of a large-scale war is low, but a local conflict of the size of a kingdom could be a disaster for Rand, the Count of the Moon Phase.

But since the attack was not launched before the end of winter, it will probably have to wait until after the spring planting.

Rand still has some time now.

After the wedding, Rand planned to seize this opportunity to discuss the matter with the great nobles in the country.

After all, there are so many nobles, including the king and the grand duke, and it would be a waste of opportunity if we don’t take advantage of it.

Rand explained the current situation and the possibility of an attack by the Kingdom of Bolen.

The country's great nobles, the king, and the grand dukes held a meeting on the spot in Rand's territory.

Everyone agreed to provide military support to Rand.

The probability of the Bolen Kingdom attacking is indeed very high.

And a very crucial point is.

Most of the great nobles in the country were seduced by Rand and invested in the port.

If Rand's territory is lost, everyone's investment will be wasted.

Therefore, which was very rare, there was no wrangling in the Frost Moon Kingdom this time, and everyone agreed to support Rand.

But after the meeting, Rand felt something was wrong.

Later, Rand discussed the matter again in the conference room of the upper hideout.

All the top leaders of the den were present, as well as Bishop Kahn and Saint Karin of the Novice Faction of the Torch Church, who were the partners.

"We have to prepare for both situations." Rand said in a deep voice.

"The meeting didn't go well?" The speaker was Bishop Kahn. As he had no time to go to the Crescent Territory during this period, Bishop Kahn's complexion had recovered a lot. "This is a strategic location. It stands to reason that we shouldn't refuse support."

Bishop Kahn is now also the person who has served as the administrator of the hideout.

I have a relatively good understanding of the situation at the den.

"No, they unanimously agreed to provide support, and it will probably be put on the agenda soon after they return," Rand said.

The top brass of the den waited for Rand to continue.

"But during the previous meeting, I felt that the domestic political situation in the Frost Moon Kingdom was not very good." Rand closed his eyes and recalled for a while, "I felt that the conflicts between them were very deep, which might affect this military support."

Rand was just a college student in his previous life. Since coming to this world, he has not been involved much in politics, so his sensitivity in this area is very average.

But even so, Rand felt something was wrong, and the conflict was probably very deep.

I hope these contradictions will not affect the support for him.

If the conflicts between the nobles in the country are really deep, it is possible that there will be a great impact.

Although due to Rand's port investment binding means.

No one wants Rand's territory to be retaken by the Kingdom of Bolen.

But it was Rand who was beaten after all.

And that is.

Rand knew very well that there would be many nobles who hoped that others would do more.

For example, when others send out elite troops to support, you can send out some miscellaneous soldiers.

After all, in everyone's eyes, Rand is a military genius. As long as he is supported by a little manpower, he is likely to win.

At that time, the loss of sending out elite soldiers will be greater than that of sending out defective ones.

The power among domestic nobles will change.

Although it is still far from the level of civil war, the changes in strength are still very sensitive.

As for the probability of this happening...

At least after the orc invasion war, Rand thought this was likely to happen.

In the conference room.

After listening to Rand's explanation, Karin and Bishop Kahn looked at each other.

Karin said, "We will gather the nuns, priests, and paladins of the Torch Church nearby to help."

Karin paused and said, "The number of people won't be too large, so there will be no charge, but you will be responsible for the pension. Is that acceptable?"

Rand nodded in thanks.

This is already a huge support.

Rand also has two loyal allies, the Marquis of Black and Brown and the Earl of the Stag.

If several companies join together, they will become a very powerful force.

And now domestic support may not necessarily be a problem.

The meeting was quickly disbanded.

Then these days Rand was either punishing Lysa or discussing plans for the New Holy City with Karin.

Rand and Karin finalized the "Scorching Sun Project."

The plan is to see if they can cause some trouble to the New Holy City.

The strength of the New Holy City needs to be weakened as soon as possible.

The reason is simple.

Now after cooperating with the Novice Faction of the Torch Church, Rand and the New Holy City.

In fact, it has already constituted the most direct and bloodiest competition.

In short, they are just robbing each other of their money.

Lander's cattle and horses could not be sold.

However, both the beginners and the utilitarians have the ability to make ritual objects and various demon-killing tools.

Now, whichever faction can occupy more market share and become stronger can make more money.

Now the economies of the Mother Goddess Cult and the Novice Faction of the Torch Church have become partly symbiotic.

To rob the money of the Novice Faction of the Torch Church is to rob Rand's money!

Therefore, Rand and Karin intend to vigorously promote the "Sun Project".

RAND provided the key personnel for the operation.

The Torch Church Novices provided technical guidance, that is, helped with disguise, to prevent the people of the New Holy City from discovering the flaws of Rand's people.

The Scorching Sun Project will not affect subsequent military operations against the Kingdom of Borun.

The Scorching Sun Project is a special operation, and Rand can send people to the south. There won’t be many people in the New Holy City.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If you send too many people, it will be easier to be discovered.

There's something else going on with Rand recently.

For example, the research on longbows, the training of longbowmen, and the formation of Centaur patrol teams need to be put on the agenda.

…

Meanwhile, the Burning Land.

The Burning Land held another top-level meeting.

In the past, the various forces in the Burning Land had deep conflicts with each other.

The heads of various forces rarely meet.

But ever since Rand's army arrived, the leaders of the various forces in the Burning Land have met more frequently.

"Should we listen to their advice?" The bald strong man slammed the table.

The scholar, who was very well dressed, frowned and said in a low voice, "Stop taking pictures."

Then he said, "Do we have room to refuse?"

All the leaders present were clear about this.

They really only have two choices.

Accept the terms of Lord Lander's generals, or leave the Burning Lands and go into exile.

The situation is changing rapidly now, and going into exile feels not much different from seeking death.

After all, they are all gangsters and anyone can beat them.

The venue fell into silence for a while.

"Then surrender." The bald strong man said dejectedly.

To be honest, the conditions given by General Fenris made these gangster leaders very discouraged.

General Fenris asked them to move on their own.

Although this condition is actually beneficial to the top management.

Because if they were captured directly as prisoners, they would have to work like ordinary gangsters.

But now that they have signed the contract themselves, they can act as managers and command the bandits under them to do their work.

Moreover, the command during this period will be counted in the overall labor reform time.

But it's such a shame.

Helping the enemy build roads to make it easier for them to conquer us, that would be the same as...! Unfortunately, they had no choice.

At least if you surrender now, you don’t have to carry bricks yourself.

"Then surrender." The top leaders of the Burning Land reached a consensus.

When Fenris received the letter of surrender from the high-ranking officials of the Burning Lands.

He was looking at the "Scorching Sun Project" sent by Rand.

Fenris thought he could give some advice.

When Rand was personally searching for the traitors, he captured some traitor paladins from the New Holy City.

These traitorous paladins were sent to Fenris by Rand for forced labor.

That is to do some daily road construction and help with farming.

Fenris discovered.

The paladins of the New Holy City may not all be willing to become utilitarians.

The Grand Knight Commander of the New Holy City and the ordinary Knight Commanders must be thorough utilitarians.

Because they have a choice.

The vast majority of utilitarian paladins also voluntarily support their knight commanders.

But there are still a few, very few Paladins who were forced into it, or who later regretted it when they realized what they were doing.

Fenris felt that these people would provide assistance to the Prideful Sun Project, but they needed to be carefully identified.

After reading Project Scorching Sun, Fenris wrote a letter to Rand.

Fenris waved his hand and a young paladin walked in.

There were traces of mud on this paladin's body, and it was obvious that he had just come back from the fields.

"Deliver a letter for me," said Fenris.

The young paladin nodded.

This is the talent that Fenris discovered.

Farming expert.

He was originally an insider paladin who came here for labor reform. His martial arts skills were average, but his farming skills were pretty good.

At least it's much better than his inner ghost.

During this period, Fenris tested him many times and felt that he was indeed a talented person, so he promoted him slightly.

Of course, they still have to do labor reform, and if the prisoners want to be pardoned, they need the personal consent of Count Lander.

This paladin is the epitome of how Fenris felt forced to join the new Holy City.

Unless his level of inner ghost is higher than mine who possesses the inner ghost book, it is possible for him to deceive my eyes in this situation.

But now that he has been caught, it is obvious that the level of the traitor is not very high.

After all, Fenris was not found out.

But it still needs to be cautious. Fenris decided to send this farming paladin to Taner to let Taner observe him.

If it is really usable, then I can recommend it to Lord Rand.
