Volume 1 Chapter 164 Let the Little King Be a Guest in Our Land of Grace for Two Years
As a citizen of the Land of God's Grace, what is the most important thing?
Today, they have a profound understanding of a truth.
That is, work hard!
Moreover, they have no salary and just want to have enough food to eat every day.
The great lord always has so many touching truths. What bad intentions could he have?
......
Nystad Territory.
Borg still doesn't know what happened in Graceland, otherwise, I'm afraid...
Pick up the big hoe and join the great ranks of farming.
Today, the city of Linton is very lively and bustling with traffic.
Half of the nobles in the Kingdom of Clay fled to Linton City.
As for the other half... they still have to guard the territory of the Kingdom of Klei, because the Kingdom of Klei is about to start a war, and the neighboring Kingdom of Harrison is eyeing it covetously.
And these nobles all came to get a piece of the pie.
Poor Fort Origi, after the orcs' rampage, managed to defend the human territory, but it was badly damaged and its land was coveted by these greedy nobles.
The nobles came to Linton City to take their private armies to participate in the war and obtain some land. In the teams of these nobles, you can see some vigorous young people, all of whom want to gain military merits, fame and military merits for themselves, so that they can be valued enough in the family and one day they can inherit the family.
The nobles fought hard just to participate in this war. While their troops were still gathering in the Kingdom of Klei towards the Nystad Territory, they arrived at Linton City first.
"Our family is going to lead the army to attack this territory. No one can compete with me for it!"
"My Lord Earl, what do you think of our family? Let me join your army with my private army... I only need a small piece of territory..."
"Are you kidding? With your limited force, can you take over that territory? Let me do it!"
"......"
Inside the Linton family castle, in the spacious hall, hundreds of nobles gathered together, shouting and yelling.
They all pointed at the map on the table surrounded by them.
Although the map had been distorted by ink and brush, the nobles still vied to leave their mark on it.
They started to grab land even before Fort Orange fell.
Borg and Sam sat in the main seats, looking at each other, and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
This argument has been going on for two days, but there is still no conclusion.
Everyone wants more territory and more resources.
"Master Sam, how many troops can we gather this time?" Borg thought it would be more useful to discuss with Sam: "If everything goes well, how long do you think it will take to finish this battle?"
"As for the army, we should be able to gather more than 800,000 troops." Sam hesitated and said, "But I'm afraid that less than half of them are truly useful. The rest are just good-for-nothings brought by the nobles, and they don't have the qualities of a real soldier."
"If we want to completely capture Fort Origi, we just need to capture their royal city and cut off the royal bloodline of Fort Origi. Within two months, we will be able to completely destroy Fort Origi. What happens next will depend on these nobles." Sam sneered.
People in high positions think differently from those in low positions.
What Sam wanted was to let the Kingdom of Claire annex Origi Castle and establish great achievements.
The petty nobles were thinking about how to occupy more territory, gain more benefits, and even determine who was more suitable to inherit their family in this war.
"Two months." Borg nodded slowly and said to Sam solemnly: "Next, Master Sam, I hope we can discuss the distribution of the spoils of this battle in a noble way. I don't want you to deliberately make concessions because of your kindness, because you are not that kind of person."
Hearing this, Sam nodded seriously.
"Lord Sam, we in the Land of Grace want more mining rights. As for the territory, we already have enough in the Land of Grace. We have decided that we don't want anything except the mining rights and all the magical knowledge in Fort Origi."
The conditions are very generous. We can even say that if that were the case, the Land of Divine Grace would be the one with the least gains among the noble families.
But Sam remained silent. He understood that often the most generous conditions had a huge purpose.
Sure enough, Borg continued, "We hope to let our King study with you for two years in our Land of Grace..."
"This..." Sam's face changed.
He had thought about what harsh conditions Borg would put forward, but he did not expect that Borg's ambitions had exceeded his imagination.
After the Kingdom of Clay occupied Fort Origi, its territory doubled, and the nobles of Fort Origi would also be incorporated into the Kingdom of Clay.
This means that the Kingdom of Klei will become stronger in the next ten years.
In addition, the current world situation is chaotic, and the Kingdom of Claire has a great possibility of dominating the world.
At this time, the king will become a very important chess piece - the granting of power, the granting of territory, the establishment of taxation... many things are related to the king.
At this time, the Land of Grace wants the king to learn from Lynch in the Land of Grace...
Two years was enough to train a four-year-old king into his puppet.
"Is that what the sir said?" Sam narrowed his eyes at Borg.
"Don't you know what kind of person the king is? He has few desires and doesn't care about fame, wealth, or power." Borg smiled calmly and shook his head. "This is the condition I set for you. I don't want you to expand the kingdom and end up with something like what happened when the previous king was in office."
Sam thought for a while, frowned and said: "If so, the nobles will have other ideas in their hearts..."
"I believe you can handle this. We at the Land of Grace can guarantee that His Majesty will become a qualified king under our guidance." Borg smiled grimly. "As long as you can be sure that His Majesty will come to the Land of Grace, it will be a great benefit to the Kingdom of Klei, right?"
"..." Sam was silent.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to this matter.
The king will become a puppet of the Land of Grace, and the Land of Grace will become the real behind-the-scenes ruler of the Kingdom of Claire.
The benefit is that the Land of God's Grace will not allow the country they control to be conquered by foreign enemies. This means that the Land of God's Grace will fight for the Kingdom of Klei.
But Sam couldn't decide such things.
Borg's lips curled up. "Well, you should think about this carefully. We, the Land of Grace, will participate in this war, regardless of whether you agree to our conditions or not. This is all we want. If you do not agree to His Majesty the King visiting our Land of Grace, then that is fine."
"I think our king is already four years old and a mature adult. It would be best if he could come to the Land of Grace for this war."
"Master Sam, I'm tired. I'm going to go back and rest first."
Borg squeezed out of the crowd and sneered at the quarreling nobles.
They are still fighting for small profits, but the Kingdom of Claire, the Land of Grace, is gone!
"An ambitious guy." Sam looked deeply at Borg's back and muttered to himself.
He already understood from Borg's words.
It doesn't matter whether the king comes or not?
That is obviously an ultimatum. What will happen if the kingdom's top leaders do not agree?
The Land of God's Grace separated from the Kingdom of Klei...attacked the Kingdom of Klei...revolted the Royal City again...joined other countries...
Anyway, this is not good news.
If it were any other noble family, then everything would be easy, but the Land of Grace... is too powerful.
Moreover, the Borg has already issued an ultimatum. When the army rushes to the Land of God's Grace, it will be their time to decide whether to do so or not.
On that day, the Land of Grace will see His Majesty the poor little king...
