Prince Vidim and Doluboye had already surrendered to Saiga Khan, and only Count Daiglan disappeared. He also knew that he had lost his son, so he could not continue to work here. He had lost his country twice, so how could he continue to work under Saiga Khan?
For Saiga Khan, he was willing to accept Doluboye and his lords' surrender, but he would never accept Prince Vidim. This guy was almost the successor of King Yarogerk. He was the most powerful one to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Vaegir. As long as he won this civil war, he could legitimately get the throne. Saiga Khan did not want the people of the Kingdom of Vaegir to expect their former royal family to return to them. Saiga Khan decided to cut the grass and root it out.
Of course, these are things to be done later.
Unconsciously, Walls crossed the plains, walked across the river, and kept moving forward along the river from Kulau to Sages. Occasionally a forest would catch their eye. Everyone was laughing and talking. It could be said that they returned from this war with a full load.
Wals has been in a good mood these days. Ha Finn and Joels are both famous generals of the Kingdom of Vaegir. Although Joels's reputation is not as good as Finn's, Wals, who had fought with Joels before, understands Joels's strength. As long as any one of them can surrender, the chances of attacking the Kingdom of Rhodok will increase.
Wals' own warhorse, thinking of this, he looked back at Sun and Joels on the prisoner car, and at this moment Wals noticed that the expressions of the two people were completely different. One looked ashen, as if he had lost hope in this world, while the other was full of confidence, as if ready for revenge at any time.
What will be the ending of these two people? Walls said to himself.
The battle in the city of Kulau spread across the continent immediately. The reputation of Maltas spread to the ears of every ordinary civilian on the continent. Naturally, the first to get the news must be the rulers of the major kingdoms. They all arranged some people to observe the situation inside the territories of other kingdoms. King Gryfos of the Rhodok Kingdom was no exception. He was now in Jelkala. When he heard his messenger report this to him, he realized that the crisis of the Rhodok Kingdom was coming. At this time, the Nord Kingdom would change from fighting on two fronts to unilaterally attacking the Rhodok Kingdom. And Wals must be the marshal.
This was not what King Graves wanted to see.
It seemed that King Gryphus had been frightened by Wals. He quickly mobilized his troops and transferred most of them to Viruga. Viruga was a plain and it was also the easiest city to attack. He thought that Wals would attack this city first.
When Walls returned to Sargoth, King Ragnar had already made preparations to welcome Walls. Although King Ragnar did not get all the territory of the Kingdom of Vaegir, getting half of it was considered good.
The banquet was held in the castle hall of Sagos. Countless servants were delivering food and drinks. Delicious fresh fish was the main ingredient here. Pork and chicken were of course indispensable. Precious beef and mutton were also served on the table. The aroma of food was everywhere. Sagos spent a lot of money to organize this banquet. Not only the main leader of this war, Wals, but also the other lords would be entertained.
The lord's banquet was naturally luxurious, and Ragnar Guang was not stingy with his wealth, and also provided certain delicacies to the soldiers under other lords.
In the hall, Wals was received with the utmost sincerity by King Ragnar, and the guards and servants on both sides stood up to show their respect to Wals.
It was at this time that Wals walked straight into the hall, and King Ragnar came down from his seat to receive Wals personally.
It seemed that he had already regarded Wals as the most important person in the kingdom.
"Wols, I have heard about your story. You conquered the northern part of the Kingdom of Vijia by yourself. This time, all the conquered territories should be given to you as a reward."
King Ragnar said that this should be a reasonable thing. Those upright and kind lords naturally congratulated Wals for handling it so successfully, but those cruel and cold lords did not think so. They always think about themselves, and sometimes some people become extremely irritable because of jealousy.
Hewitt was one of them. He was originally a businessman and wanted to defect to the Nordic Kingdom to become a noble. However, the appearance of Wals made his plan go down the drain. This guy took away all his original credits. The northern territory of the Kingdom of Vigia should have belonged to him.
If he can do it, I can do it too! Hewitt shouted to himself in his heart. His eyes full of hatred were always staring at Wals, and the nobles sitting next to him could feel the hatred emanating from him. However, since they lived with Hewitt, they naturally had a closer relationship with him, and these small lords also hated Wals's great achievements.
King Ragnar was extremely happy. He personally took Wals's hand and waited for him to walk to the top seat in the hall. This seat was closest to King Ragnar, showing his noble status and honor. Originally, the most respected person in the kingdom should have sat here, but now King Ragnar gave this seat to Wals, which indirectly showed Wals' status in King Ragnar's mind.
His status was so high that even the eagles were jealous. Some of the older lords looked at this rising star and were dissatisfied with Wals. Idenyar sat in the back, drinking her bitter wine. She was originally a warlike lord. She did get a lot of wealth in this battle, and her Wals did not hate her too much.
Tuyar was a cunning lord who admired the glory of Wals and was determined to win him over.
Olaf Jarl had a bad temper and seemed to be a little unhappy with Vols at this moment. He had not participated in any battles in this battle. He had been staying inside the kingdom waiting for good news. All this was because of King Ragnar's order. Seeing that this young junior had achieved such great results, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
The banquet lasted for a long time, about three days and three nights.
According to the regulations, the lord should be rewarded after the banquet, but on the day before the reward, that is, on the evening of that day, Hewitt suddenly came to visit King Ragnar.
King Ragnar had been in a good mood in recent days, so he did not feel angry at all for Xiuik coming to visit him in the middle of the night. Instead, he let him in calmly.
In recent days, King Ragnar seemed to have returned to his youth. The long-term happiness made his body happy and healthy, and his face was much rosier than before. His frowning brows were now relaxed, just like a tree that had been hiding in the cold wind and had its branches cut back, but now it has returned to spring and sprouted leaves.
"What do you want from me?"
King Ragnar held a glass of wine and spoke to Hewitt while drinking.
Almost no one at the banquet noticed Hewitt's hateful eyes, including Walls himself, who thought he had returned to the kingdom and had no enemies for the time being. But he was totally wrong to think so.
"Your Majesty, you have been very happy in recent days. Vols has taken over the northern part of the Vaegir Kingdom and divided the Vaegir Kingdom equally with the Khergit Khanate. This is a great achievement that will surely be praised by future generations. But Your Majesty, do you feel that the honor you have given me is too high?"
Hewitt lowered his head, not wanting King Ragnar to see his face. His face was already distorted by hatred, and an ominous aura emanated from his whole body.
King Ragnar felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. The tone of Hewitt's voice was not the same as before, and there was a strong indescribable feeling in it.
"In that case, what do you want to do?"
Hewitt avoided answering the question and instead spoke a frontline but profound truth.
“When a person’s prestige exceeds that of the monarch of a country, he is very likely to replace the monarch of that country.”
Hewitt said this almost at the risk of being beheaded, which completely disregarded the prestige of King Ragnar.
As soon as these words came out, King Ragnar seemed to be struck by lightning, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.
He was not angry and did not blame Hewitt for being so outspoken because there was only one of his confidants around.
"I understand, Hewitt, I will handle this matter properly."
"Yes, I understand."
休伊特退下了，他的身旁的那一位亲信也退下了，一个身形佝偻的老人走了出来，他刚才似乎完融入到黑暗之中一般，根本就没有人发现它的踪影。
“彼得斯，说一说你的看法吧。”
“我只能说我还没有看透他。”
彼得斯他那一双苍老的双眼看向了拉格纳国王。
“我暂时无法确定他的性格，他是一个外来者，原本并不是诺德王国的领主，诺德王国老一辈的领主有些妒忌沃尔斯了，他们都知道，沃尔斯将会得到维吉亚王国北部的所有领土，这简直就可以组建一个小型国家，任何一个领主都会眼馋的，不过我相信，那些老一辈的领主当中有一些会誓死效忠于你的，他们原本就是诺德王国的原住民，如果没有发生极端情况的话，他们是不会背叛这个国家的。”
拉格纳国王点了点头。这一番话反而是点醒了他，沃尔斯自始至终就是一个外来者，和世代在这里的诺德王国的领主截然不同，自己为何要偏袒一个外来者而放弃自家人？
因此，在第二天的时候，就出现了一个匪夷所思的情况，原本沃尔斯攻占的领土，此时却被分给了多位领主，而沃尔斯只得到了其中的杰尔泊堡和依斯摩罗拉堡。
看着沃尔斯那充满疑问的眼神，看着他手下的那一群大将，一脸的震惊与不解。回答他们的是拉格纳国王冷漠的眼神。
事情的结果很让诺德王国老一辈的领主满意，他们都是跟随沃尔斯出战的领主，这一个时候分得到领土，他们自然开心，使得这一群老领主满意之后，拉格纳国王点点头之后就挥手让这些领主回到自己的封地。
沃尔斯并没有多说话，他也知道拉格纳国王似乎对自己不放心，自己自始至终只是一个外来者而已，外来者就应该有一个外来者的待遇。
紧接着，沃尔斯也和其他的领主一般，回到了自己的封地，当然，并不是那最近所封赏的那两座城堡而已，他回到了自己原本的根据地也就是苏诺。
“辛苦了这么长的时间，居然只得到这两座城堡，拉格纳国王完是出尔反尔。”
这是杰克抱怨最多的一句话，在沃尔斯从萨哥斯到苏诺的路途当中，杰克一直不停的在沃尔斯耳边唠叨着。而对于杰克这样的话，沃尔斯并没有过多关注，反而一副漫不经心的模样。
在沃尔斯的怀中，洛里默暗暗的在沃尔斯的心里说起了悄悄话。
“毫无疑问，拉格纳国王并不放心将那么大的领土交予你掌控，半个维吉亚王国几乎都能够和诺德王国的一部分相抗衡呢，所以说他不得不削弱你的实力。最近一段时间你要装作忍气吞声的模样，不要太过于抱怨，传到了拉格纳国王耳朵当中，恐怕你就算再有才能也无法低档远胜于自己多倍的敌人。同时你又要显示自己胸无大志，这样才能够削弱拉格纳国王对你的猜忌。”
“是的，我知道了。”
一行人越过斯瓦迪亚王国的平原，跨入到沃尔斯的领地，在那一望无际的平原之上，苏诺免疫力之上，虽然说苏诺并不是原来的斯瓦迪亚王国最富有的一个城市，但是好歹一个城市也有着足够的财富，况且沃尔斯从维基亚王国那里也抢到了不少财富，拉格纳国王虽然只给了他两座城堡，但是他还是拥有着数量足够可观的财富。
在沃尔斯回到自己的领地的时候，拉格纳国王也就开始了下一步的行动，伊登雅尔极力推荐拉格纳国王和塞加可汗达成同盟，那一张由沃尔斯带回来的友好协议也被拉格纳国王给过目了。
在参考了彼得斯的意见之后，拉格纳国王最终决定愿意和塞加可汗结盟，这也就意味着他们两个国家在短时间之内是不会爆发战争的。一个想要继续向南边扩张攻打萨兰德苏丹国，另一个也是坐着如此的美梦，诺德王国的兵力已经渐渐朝着南方开始集结，各大领主又开始招兵买马，罗多克王国才刚刚从自己的失败的阴影当中恢复过来，格瑞福斯国王扩大自己的军队实力，拉格纳国王毫无疑问他的下一个目标便是处在南方山地的罗多克王国。
在萨哥斯的城堡大厅之内，这一座大厅依然残留着几天之前欢庆的喜悦，不过现在拉格纳国王却丝毫没有一点喜悦，之前他因为宴会而舒展的眉毛这一个时候再一次皱了起来，目标已经定好了，库吉特汗国他是不会去吞并的，罗多克王国将会成为他的下一个目标。
“彼得斯，你说一说，这一次进攻罗多克王国应该选谁作为元帅？”
拉格纳国王坐在大厅的那一张椅子上面，那是专门替他制作的椅子，这是他的王位，此时的大厅空**无比，只有彼得斯和拉格纳国王两个人而已。这是属于他们两个的密谈。
彼得斯还是如同以前一样，他用他的那一双衰老的眼睛看向了拉格纳国王。
语气中似乎带着一点无奈，但是最终他还是说出来了他心中所想。
“我觉得除了沃尔斯以外，没有人更加适合当这个元帅的位置，现在他的计谋已经得到了王国内部各个领主的承认，我觉得如果他当做元帅的话，对王国内部的领主肯定是一呼百应，除了部分嫉妒心极强的领主之外。团结王国内部领主的实力才是打败罗多克王国的最重要的一点。”
拉格纳国王皱着眉头，在前不久他才刚刚失信于我特，并没有将承诺的领土部给予我特，这一个时候再派沃尔斯作为元帅继续攻打罗多克王国，难免会引起沃尔斯的不满。
“难道就没有其他的人选？”
拉格纳国王再一次问道，说到底他现在还不想继续重用沃尔斯，元帅这个位置是否能够被其他人拿在手中呢？
“我觉得没有比它更好的。”
拉格纳国王叹了一口气，这个时候他也是别无他法，她自己已经拍了足够的间谍前往罗多克王国，从传回来的情报来看，最近几天格瑞福斯国王的领地戒备森严，并且开始调集大量的兵力前往维鲁加，尽管说乌克斯豪尔掌控在葛瑞福斯国王的手中，但是格瑞福斯国王似乎并不希望继续掌控着一座城市，从他调派兵力前往维鲁加就可以看得出来。
万般无奈之下，拉格纳国王终于做出了最后的决定，他派出了自己的传令兵要求在苏诺的沃尔斯集结国的领主进行战争，目标就是处在南边的罗多克王国。
传令兵的速度很快，在沃尔斯回到自己的营地的第二天的时候，他就已经把消息传到了沃尔斯的手中。
当沃尔斯拿着这一份传令兵递给他的书信的时候，他突然发现，他在拉格纳国王的心目当中还是有着一定的地位的。
“把它接下来吧，如果不接下来的话，拉格纳国王一定会更加生气的，这样不利于你在国内的地位。”
洛里默突然在沃尔斯的心中说道，他也是经过细致考虑的人。
“既然如此的话，那么我就作为诺德王国的元帅，带领国的领主来进攻南边的罗多克王国。”
很快，沃尔斯立刻就将自己从维吉亚王国抢夺的财富利用了起来，用于招兵买马扩大军队，尽管说杰克对于沃尔斯的这一个行为有些不满，本来拉格纳国王就并没有公平的对待他，现在却又继续对他发号施令，但是沃尔斯并没有这么想。
很快，在维鲁加的葛瑞福斯国王就接到了消息，沃尔斯已经作为诺德王国的元帅，正在集结国各地的领主进攻罗多克王国，拉格纳国王已经对罗多克王国宣战，两个国家必定发生一场大战。葛瑞福斯国王立刻号召自己的领主，加紧速度赶到维鲁加。
维鲁加处在罗多克王国的平原之上，这里是最好攻打的一座城市，附近的城堡并没有山脉地势，没有了地利自然是罗多克王国最容易攻取的城市和城堡，比起其他的建立在山脉的城堡，例如库儿玛堡来说，这些城堡建立在高山之上，往往是易守难攻。
这样的话，葛瑞福斯国王的目标就是守住维鲁加以及附近的城堡，至于说原属于斯瓦迪亚王国的乌克斯豪尔，这一座城市格瑞福斯国王决定不要。
诺德王国现在比起来罗多克王国来说要强大的多，攻取乌克斯豪尔简直易如反掌，不如继续坚守维鲁加，因为维鲁加是距离罗多克王国的核心地区比较近，因此获得补给的速度要比起唯独乌克斯豪尔获得补给的补给的速度要快得多。因此守住维鲁加更加轻松一些。
At the same time, King Griffus also learned from the demise of the Kingdom of Vaegir and strictly controlled the identities and loyalty of high-level officials. He would never allow traitors from the Kingdom of Nord to infiltrate his high-level officials. King Griffus thought he had done a good job. All the elite soldiers were transferred to Viruga, waiting to resist the attack of Vols.
While recruiting soldiers, Wals inquired about King Griffith's actions. When he heard that he had transferred a large number of troops to Viruga, he knew that this guy wanted to defend Viruga. In this case, Wals decided to capture Uxhall first.
Uxhall is located on the plain. Wals ordered Emerida and some other lords to attack the city. Due to the order of King Graves, the defenders of this city could not withstand such a fierce attack.
