We are loyal, and this is the right way.
——Barbaro family motto
With the arrival of autumn, the situation in the Baltic Sea has gradually stabilized, but new storms are gathering under the undercurrent.
After the alliance between the Kingdom of Tiran and the Kingdom of Tudor occupied the large island in the north-central Baltic Sea, they were gradually targeted by other countries.
There are a total of sixteen kingdoms or principalities in the Western Continent of the Central Court, but there are only five truly powerful nations. The overlord of the Central Continent is the Kingdom of Farron.
It is also the motherland of Delain Orlan, the Grand Mage of the Faox Palace. The family of this useless mage is a minor noble family in this country.
The overlords of the northern part of the Western Continent are the Kingdom of Tissen and the Kingdom of Olber. Their relationship is similar to that of Tudor and Tilan. Sometimes they fight for the hegemony of the north, and sometimes they have to join forces to resist the Frost Empire in the north. It can be said that they truly love and hate each other.
The three countries united together and gathered a group of small countries to cheer them on, forcing the Tidor Alliance to give up at least ten large Baltic islands. However, how could they spit out the meat they had swallowed? The alliance of the two countries only spat in their faces.
Just when the war was about to break out, the chaos on Zilaner Island first turned the other countries into cannon fodder. Before they could react to what was happening, they lost control of Zilaner Island, and all those who supported the parliament were stabbed in the back and beheaded.
The countries of the Western Continent had to put aside their grievances and sit down together again to discuss how to deal with Zilaner Island.
They were the ones who controlled everything behind the scenes when Zilaner was founded, but they ran away on the eve of the sea calming down. How can we tolerate this!
The Baltic Sea is indeed important, but Zilan Island is more important. If it is not handled properly, a troublemaker will definitely rise up next to the Western Continent.
If this troublemaker continues to collude with the barbarians in the north and the nouveau riche monkeys in the south, the good days of the countries in the Western Continent will be over.
On the Aegean Island, representatives from various countries gathered together and argued about the issues in the western waters.
First of all, because the fields on their island are still barren until now, and the price of spices in the Baltic autumn harvest has increased by more than forty times, which makes everyone in the countries very upset.
What follows is the future of the Zilan Kingdom. The Baltic Sea, which is actually ruled by various countries, nominally belongs to Tone Sudin of Zilan Island.
Now the countries either declare that the occupied islands will be directly incorporated into their own territory, or recognize Tone Sudin as king, or establish a new king, King Polo.
If the countries directly designate the occupied islands as their territory, first of all, it would be unjustifiable. They are so far away from their mainland that anyone can take them away in the future, but they are out of reach. In the future, they will be sucked dry by this enclave instead of sucking its blood.
After discussion, they thought it would be a good idea to support the representatives and sideline the king, but they suffered the loss from the parliament's backstab.
This time, the countries decided to take control of the taxation, military power, judicial power, diplomacy, etc. of the newly established kingdom, and implement a series of measures such as printed paper and silver bills invented by the Tudor Kingdom.
The new king, Jon Zilaner, was a good candidate, but after a series of blows, he seemed to be useless, and the Zilaner royal family's inheritance was also snatched away by a Zilaner son-in-law who appeared out of nowhere.
It is easy to control without strength, and all the countries are very satisfied, but that restless son-in-law of Zilaner jumped out.
The Kingdom of Tilan and the Kingdom of Tudor seemed to know something, but they kept it secret and didn't say anything. They seemed to be both afraid and wary of that guy who was jumping around.
While the continental nations, each with their own ulterior motives, had been discussing for a long time without reaching any concrete results, Varian Code arrived at White Wave Island. He would build Faox's Hessian Legion based on the Sixth Brigade.
The Golden Rose Knights also moved to Bailang Island, while the Purple Gold Legion, Storm Knights, Cold Moon Knights and Red Flame Knights formed by the remnants of the royal army remained on Cold Moon Island to garrison.
Frederick began to draw personnel from various departments to form the Privy Council Staff on Hanyue Island. The various forces gathered under Mo Hailong began to recover their combat effectiveness under the integration of the staff.
On Hanyue Island, Qiongxi Mido joined the Hanyue Knights and became a Hanyue Knight.
At this time, the Storm Knights were practicing with the Frost Moon Knights in the military camp, and Qiong Xi's opponent was He Li, the leader of the Storm Knights.
Qiong Xi's sword became cold and sharp. When her brother Tomon brought back her father who had been trampled into a pulp, the girl never smiled again and just practiced hard.
He Li was at ease in the battle, and even wearing heavy armor she could easily dodge Qiong Xi's sword.
"Girl, that's not how you use a sword sometimes."
He Li raised her heavy sword to block the long sword, quickly advanced and spun the sword close to her, and the top of the hilt hit Qiong Xi's abdomen hard.
Bang!
Although it seemed like a casual attack, Qiong Xi was knocked several steps away and fell heavily to the ground. It took her a long time to catch her breath and get up.
They were both golden warriors, but He Li's fighting skills always made her too strong.
"Akeris, you're not in good shape today."
Seeing that Acaris's attention was not on himself as his opponent, Mickey Gowen looked at Qiong Xi meaningfully, then stood up and rushed towards He Li and said.
"I'll be serious!"
Seeing that Acaris recovered immediately, Mickey Gowen wanted to say that he didn't mean that, but it was too late.
Bang!
He dodged the sword thrust by a hair's breadth, and with a backhanded strike of the sword, Acaris defeated Mickey Gowen using a move similar to that of He Li.
Pulling Mickey Gowen up from the air, Acaris asked, "Do you want to continue?"
"Take a break."
The two of them sat on the stone lock for training. Mickey Gowen looked around and saw that everyone was concentrating on training and no one was paying attention to this place. So he whispered to Acaris: "I heard that the new king can improve his title based on his merits. Is this true?"
Acaris's face froze. "Who told you that? And what about the new king?"
"The news spread throughout the military camp. I heard it from them.
As for the new king, there are only a few people who are qualified to lead us in rebelling against the false king and fighting for the throne. You know what Jon Zilan is like now, he is drunk every day. Princess Zixi is a woman, so it is impossible for her to do that. The rest are naturally..."
Although Mickey Gowen hesitated to speak, Acaris understood what he meant.
The royal family cannot be at peace, and even if it is, it cannot submit to the rebels.
Now Xia Lan controls Hanyue Island, Bailang Island and the Blackwater Island of unknown status. If he can become the king of Zilaner in the name of the orthodox Zilan, he can obtain the nominal right to rule the Polo Islands.
Although all the islands are in the hands of various countries, Zilan Island was in the same situation more than a hundred years ago. The king was just a figurehead, and all matters, big and small, were handled by the various countries and their supported representatives.
The three pages of destiny are all in Xia Lan's hands, which means she also has the "Imperial Seal" and the conditions for becoming king are ripe.
Acarius did not talk about these things. He was a pure warrior who only had to obey the orders of His Majesty. Whoever he said to kill would be killed.
However, he also discovered that the soldiers and knights of Hanyue Island began to train more actively, and they were discussing military merit system and fiefdoms in private.
