Chapter 555: The New King of Bolen Kingdom Writes a Letter to the New Holy City
The ministers were silent.
When everyone first saw that the eldest prince intended to attack Rand, they all came to dissuade him with disdain in their hearts.
The old king was already considered an expert in battle formations.
But no one can get any good results when facing Rand.
The deceased hero, Prince Alex II, also died in the battle with Rand.
No one thought that the eldest prince would be able to do anything to Rand after he ascended the throne.
But now everyone knows that the eldest prince is right.
With the rapid increase in population, the expansion of Rand's power is inevitable. How will they deal with the attack on the Kingdom of Boren? It is obviously unrealistic to expect Rand to become a gentle lord without ambition after becoming powerful.
Well, at this time, what the eldest prince said, uniting some of Rand's common enemies, might be a method with a high success rate.
With the defeat of the orcs in the north, the evil cult forces in the south have gradually weakened under the attacks and pursuits of the New Holy City, the First Born Sect and the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health, and the continent has slowly returned to peace.
The countries in the north and south have already entered a stage of recuperation.
Of course, there are also some ambitious people who are ready to make moves. After all, the Torch Church, which is capable of maintaining peace, has been split. Now the three factions of the Torch Church cannot and do not want to continue to forcibly maintain peace.
However, after experiencing so many disasters, even the most ambitious people would like to take a few years to rest and recuperate.
The Kingdom of Bolen also needs to rest and recuperate, or rather, it needs rest more than most other countries, but they can't wait.
"Your Excellency the Grand Prince is right." Since the coronation ceremony has not yet been held, the ministers still call the new king the Grand Prince.
Now that the old king has basically retired, the eldest prince has basically succeeded to the throne in fact, with only the coronation ceremony yet to be held.
"But what should we do? What strategy does Your Excellency the Crown Prince have? Ordinary means cannot deal with the cunning Duke Land." One of the ministers spoke up.
The eldest prince snorted in his heart, they are all idiots.
"Analyzing previous battles, we can easily see that one of the major reasons why we lost the war against Rand is that we did not act fast enough. Another major reason is that we must have many traitors who informed Rand." The eldest prince said, "This time we should act secretly, gather our strength, and strike Rand with a thunderbolt."
This is why the Great Prince decided to invite Rand to attend his coronation ceremony.
If Rand really came to participate, he would ignore any international consensus and directly surround and kill Rand in the royal city of the Kingdom of Bolen.
This will certainly cause the Kingdom of Borun to fall into a diplomatic dilemma, and even directly lead to the outbreak of war between the Frost Moon Kingdom and the Borun Kingdom.
But Rand's personal value is enough for the Kingdom of Bolen to ignore these costs.
Unfortunately, it seems that Rand does not have the "courage" to attend the coronation ceremony.
There was only one person present who was very out of place, and that was the former Minister of War. His Excellency the Crown Prince was indeed intelligent, but too young and too arrogant.
Many things can be thought through logically, but are actually difficult to do well.
But His Excellency the eldest prince does not have much experience in doing things.
The old king would consult him before any war, because although he didn't like him, he knew when to find the right person.
But now it seems that I am being treated as a fool by His Excellency the Crown Prince.
…
At this time, Rand had already arrived at the Holy Moon Territory.
In theory, this land still belongs to the Kingdom of Bolen, but in reality, the land that has been controlled by Rand has developed a lot.
Rand is very good at infrastructure construction.
This piece of land was originally in a very good location. Although it became a ruin due to the war, rebuilding it is always much easier than starting from scratch.
Now the Holy Moon Territory already has some basic output, and has basically broken even. If it continues to develop like this for a few years, it will bring considerable profits to Rand.
Rand, Elsa and Bolan got off the carriage.
Elsa has been keeping her eyes on Bolan lately.
I heard that Ellie was injured in the north, but it was not serious. However, from Elsa's point of view, it seemed that Ellie's walking posture had changed a little.
This is quite normal. After all, you are injured, and some injuries may make it inconvenient to walk.
Elsa was often injured before she met Rand, so she was quite experienced in this matter.
However, she is paying attention to Bolan now, not because of his injuries, but because she is not very good at medicine.
If Ellie was really seriously injured, then Rand would definitely be very anxious, and since Rand is not anxious, then there must be no problem.
She just recently developed an inexplicable interest in stealing Ellie again.
The "Ellie" in front of her always gave off a feeling that she had never been stolen by her, which made Elsa feel itchy.
Could it be that because I've been in the north for too long, the number of thefts has increased? It seems that I need to find an opportunity to take action.
In fact, since she became a top-level professional, although Elsa's kleptomania has not disappeared, Elsa's self-control ability has actually become much stronger.
At least when she really needs to hold back, Elsa won't be tempted to reach out because of her kleptomania.
But now is not the time to really hold back.
She and Ellie don't have a bad relationship.
It's no big deal to steal something, and she will return it immediately after stealing it.
The question now is not whether to steal, but what to steal.
Elsa rubbed her chin very secretly.
And all these actions were seen by Bolan.
Bolan felt like he was being targeted by something, and now it seemed to be Elsa.
When Berlan uses Ellie's body, his perception abilities are greatly weakened.
But it is still at a level that far exceeds that of the top professionals.
At least Elsa's occasional secret peeping was occasionally discovered by Bolan.
After arriving at the Holy Moon Territory, there was another work meeting.
A meeting on possible changes in the political landscape and military actions that might occur in the Kingdom of Bollen.
"If the Kingdom of Bolen really wants to attack, what kind of strategy might they adopt?" Rand asked.
Taner suggested some directions.
If the Kingdom of Bolen attacks the Holy Moon Territory, then the most likely military strategy is to cut off the connection between the Holy Moon Territory and other territories of Rand, and then surround and finally besiege the Holy Moon Territory.
After so many wars with the Kingdom of Boren, Rand and Taner actually have a clear understanding of the level of Boren's military strength.
The naval fleet remains powerful.
It's still not something Rand can easily cheat.
But the strength on land... although on the surface it is still much stronger than Duke Rand, but if the Kingdom of Boren really attacks on land, Rand is not very afraid.
The knights were indeed brave, but that was all. Due to the huge profits from the ocean, the Kingdom of Bollen was very rich, and their knights were well equipped. However, they did not arm and train serfs and villagers because of their wealth, which meant that the Kingdom of Bollen's financial advantage could not be fully utilized.
As for other situations...if the Kingdom of Bolen intends to gather more allies to launch an attack on Rand.
It can only be said that there are some dangers.
But I'm not very scared.
In order to provide military support to Rand at any time, the Frost Moon Kingdom was prepared.
The Frost Moon Kingdom has designated an area on the edge of Rand's territory for stationing troops.
There are a large number of troops belonging to Rand's allies stationed here, such as the army of the Marquis of Black and Brown, the army of the Duke of Thorns, and the army of the Stag Family.
These troops belonged to the families of the various allies, so they could be dispatched directly to assist Rand without any discussion of state affairs.
The response was quick, the troops were of high quality, and Rand could command them directly.
This means that Rand has a huge advantage in military mobilization speed and troop quality when dealing with the Kingdom of Bolen on land.
All I can say is that it’s good to have allies you can trust.
This is the result of Rand's willingness to share benefits with its allies and to provide strong support to its allies in accordance with the covenant when their allies need support.
Now the thirteenth son of the Marquis of Black and Brown has returned to the south, but he did not come back to the holiday villa to study, but returned to the Marquis of Black and Brown's territory.
The thirteenth son of the Marquis of Black and Brown is now the new Marquis of Black and Brown, and will soon serve as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
While handling affairs in the White Kingdom, Rand also sent some troops to help the thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis find his father's remains.
Finally, a sword and a somewhat dirty and torn cloak were found and transported back to the Black and Brown Family.
As for why the new Black and Brown Marquis was able to serve as Minister of War.
Naturally, the power in this world has always come from the strength of the family.
The reason is simple. If these powerful nobles do not agree, then the nominal power cannot be implemented. It depends on whether the people below carry it out or not.
Only people like Rand can ignore some original rules to gain power, but Rand himself gained power because his territory was strong enough.
Of course, making decisions on national affairs still requires qualifications and abilities.
King Marcus would not hand over military affairs to the new Marquis of Black and Brown right away. If he really did not have the right ability, then Marcus would have to work harder himself. After all, the Frost Moon Kingdom had been fine without a Minister of Military Affairs for so many years, right? The Frost Moon Kingdom had Rand, a military expert, to back it up.
Anyway, since Rand was born, King Marcus has not paid too much attention to foreign military issues.
Just support Rand without thinking. As long as you give Rand enough support, Rand will surely bring the victory it deserves.
Rand is a smart man, and he is very kind to his own people. He always prioritizes the interests of his allies, so King Marcus is not worried that his own family will suffer any losses after Rand develops.
It should be said that with the development of Rand, the Duke of Thorn's family has and will continue to gain a lot of benefits, and the same is true for the nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
…
Rand does have many enemies in this world.
But most of them are cultists. The only decent human forces are the Kingdom of Bolun, the Kingdom of Lensa and the New Holy City, which have a great hatred for him.
Rand’s relations with some southern countries are not that good, but essentially there is no hatred between them. They just make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones.
Even in the marriage between the Lionheart Kingdom and the Thorn Family, Rand played a significant role in it.
If the Kingdom of Bolen wants to unite some forces that are hostile to Rand.
We can only try to unite with the Kingdom of Lensa and the New Holy City.
Of course, it is also necessary to secretly contact some forces that are not so prominent.
For example, the remnants of the Blue King in the south.
After the death of the Azure King, his power collapsed overnight and became just a bunch of rural bandits and exiled vampires.
These beings, who are directly regarded as enemies by humans, cannot be completely wiped out in a short period of time. If the Kingdom of Bolun is willing to accept some of them, these people can also be used by the Kingdom of Bolun.
In fact, at the beginning the eldest prince wanted to cooperate with the cultists, but was sternly rejected by the ministers.
Because of the split of the Torch Church, human countries were able to taste the "sweetness" of war.
But also because of the division and weakening of the Torch Church, human countries realized how terrifying the power of those cultists who seemed to be completely insignificant in the past could be without the suppression of the Torch Church.
Before the Scourge Cult built the City of the Dead and showed a sweeping trend, no country thought that the Scourge Cult could accomplish anything? At that time, everyone just thought that the country that had to deal with the threat of the City of the Dead would be unlucky, but no country thought that it would be destroyed by the undead.
But the facts have proved that without the support of various countries and Rand's strategy, human countries might really be destroyed by the undead, and then the situation would snowball and sweep across the world.
So at least while the pain was still before their eyes, the ministers of the Kingdom of Bolen were completely unable to accept using the power of the cultists.
The eldest prince believes that power has no good or evil, and only those who use it improperly will hurt themselves.
It's like a sword. Only those who don't know how to use a sword will hurt themselves, but to those who know how to use a sword, it is just a sharp weapon.
These idiots in the Kingdom of Bolen are too weak, but everyone disagrees, and the eldest prince cannot force them.
Then let's write a letter to the New Holy City first. The New Holy City was once given face by the Torch Church's newborn faction supported by Rand. I believe the New Holy City must want to get it back, and the Kingdom of Borun will provide such an opportunity.
Soon, the old knight commander who was far away in the New Holy City received a letter from the Crown Prince.
The letter said that the Kingdom of Bolen would join forces with the New Holy City to carry out a very secret surprise attack plan to destroy Rand, the evil anti-human element.
The old Knight Commander fell silent and handed the letter to Rand's subordinates beside him.
After reading the letter, Rand's subordinates were silent for a while, and then said, "I will inform Sir Rand."
"In fact, we in the New Holy City can also cooperate." The old Knight Commander tapped the sandalwood table under the candlelight with his old and skinny fingers, "For example, when everything is ready to take action, we can change sides at the last minute."
