Several guards near him looked at Hewitt who was muttering to himself, and they all wondered inwardly if their master was crazy.
A campaign against Walls began with Hewitt, but Walls was completely unaware of these things.
King Ragnar held a banquet in Sargos and invited lords from all over the country to Sargos. Among them, Wals was one of the people who must be invited. He had made great military achievements and wiped out the entire Rhodok Kingdom. Naturally, he would get enough rewards in this banquet.
A few days later, the news of Vols' conquest of the Rhodok Kingdom spread throughout the continent. Maltas was a general under the Khergit Khanate. Maltas thought that he was not much different from Vols, but looking at the situation in front of him, he found that he was being restrained by a woman named Falvia.
In fact, being restrained was just Maltas's one-sided statement. The two of them were fighting hard.
At this time, the Khergit Khanate and the Sarand Sultanate were fighting for Rana.
The Sarand Sultanate took advantage of the Khergit Khanate's attack on the Vaegir Kingdom to launch a surprise attack on the Khergit Khanate and captured Halma in one fell swoop. Under the leadership of Falvia, the Sarand Sultanate's army was unstoppable and was about to capture Lana, but Maltas suddenly came back to defend Lana, which made it difficult for Falvia to break through Lana. However, as the two of them used various strategies, Lana was constantly fought over by the armies of the two countries. Today, the Khergit Khanate occupied this city, and tomorrow it would be taken back by the Sarand Sultanate.
It was because of the lack of progress in Lana City that Martas was unable to recapture Halma. Saiga Khan began to doubt Martas's ability. This was a fatal danger for Martas.
Sargos was still the same as usual. On this war-torn continent, Sargos had maintained peace for a long time, which was precious. In the morning, the guards opened the city gates as usual. The caravans were not attacked by bandits. King Ragnar sent troops to clean up all the bandits nearby.
The guard yawned lazily, having just woken up from his sleep. Another companion stretched himself, leaned against the city gate and looked at the rising sun in the distance.
Who will be the first person to enter the city gate today?
The soldier thought about this question out of boredom in his mind.
At this time, a flag slowly rose on the distant horizon. Only nobles were allowed to carry flags on the continent. The soldiers guarding the city immediately perked up. This was a city ruled by King Ragnar.
"Is it Lord Hewitt?"
A soldier shouted unconsciously. Sagos has already sent out notices to lords from all over the country. Now lords from all over the country are rushing to Sagos to hold a banquet. The protagonist of this banquet is naturally Wals in the south of the continent. He broke through the Kingdom of Rhodok and captured King Gryphus alive.
Hewitt's territory was just a small castle, and it was neither too close nor too far from Sagos. The lords who were closer did not come to Sagos, but Hewitt was the first to come. This made the soldiers confused.
What was he doing so soon? No one answered their question, and they simply gathered themselves together and gave Hewitt's army a standard salute, after which Hewitt's troops entered Sagoth.
Hewitt was wearing a black robe and a black hood on his head. No one could see his face clearly. The guards on his left and right were riding horses, and the guards outside were holding his flag, which was a flag with two swords.
Prove that he wants to change from a businessman to a warrior.
Hewitt didn't even look at the soldiers guarding the city. He rode his horse straight into the city center. Now Sagos can be said to be extremely wealthy. Without the invasion of war, more and more immigrants went to Sagos to settle down. Many people who suffered from war and displacement also came to Sagos to seek a livelihood. Sagos was thriving. But Hewitt didn't even look at these people. Ragnar in the Lord's Hall of Sagos.
When he reined in his warhorse with force, the horse he was riding neighed slightly, and the troops behind him also stopped, and the guards pulled the reins to stop their horses from moving forward.
"I want to see King Ragnar!"
Hewitt dismounted and spoke to the group of guards in front of King Ragnar's gate. The other guards on horseback also dismounted following Hewitt's steps.
Whether it was Hewitt or the guards, they were all dressed the same, almost all of them wearing black robes, while those ordinary foot soldiers were wearing the standard uniform of Nord warriors.
This puzzled the guards. It was supposed to be a few days before the banquet, so why did Hewitt arrive in Sagos so quickly? This was the first thing that came to the mind of the guard. He thought Hewitt was here to attend the banquet. So after greeting Hewitt, he immediately went to convey Hewitt's intention and told King Ragnar that Hewitt wanted to see him.
On the inner side of the lord's hall is King Ragnar's bedroom. A few days ago, King Ragnar received the good news from the south. King Ragnar was very happy and had a big drink. This morning he was still lying in bed because he was drunk.
"Your Majesty! Hewitt Jarl requests to see you!"
The guard bowed respectfully to King Ragnar and said.
King Ragnar rubbed his eyes. He drank heavily last night and felt a little dizzy when he woke up this morning. Looking at the sunlight outside the window, he knew it was getting late and he should go and manage his territory properly. But then again, why should he manage your land? As long as he had Wals, who else on this continent could be his opponent? Besides, after annexing the Kingdom of Rhodok, he would be the most powerful country on the entire continent.
However, since Hewitt has arrived, Ragnar Guan has absolutely no intention of not seeing him. Anyway, he is happy these days and can do whatever he wants!
In order to maintain his dignity in front of his men, King Ragnar got up as usual. After a simple wash, King Ragnar tidied his appearance and walked out of his room, ready to go to the main hall of the Lord's Hall to meet Hewitt.
"Hewitt! I'm glad you can come to my territory so soon to attend my party. But speaking of it, there are still a few days before I hold the party. What are you doing here so early?"
Hewitt stood there respectfully, bowed and saluted, not daring to make any irregular movements.
Even King Ragnar nodded to Hewitt's courtesy.
What a polite and good boy! King Ragnar praised him in his heart.
Hewitt glanced at the guards on both sides. His eyes revealed a message that King Ragnar understood instantly. He waved his hand and asked all the guards on both sides to leave. Soon, only Hewitt and King Ragnar were left in the castle hall.
Hewitt was still wearing a black robe, and from the moment she walked in, his expression was forever frozen at that moment.
"Your Majesty! I have something to tell you!"
"What's going on? Is there anything worth discussing in my country? I have become the most powerful country in the entire continent. I own half of the continent's territory. No country can rival me!"
King Ragnar now feels very accomplished. He feels that his deeds will be recorded in history and will be sung forever. Now he is eager to tell everyone around him about his deeds.
Just when King Ragnar was feeling proud, Hewitt suddenly burst into laughter, causing King Ragnar to be surprised and angry!
"why are you laughing!"
King Ragnar said angrily, her face turned dark in an instant. King Ragnar felt unprecedented irony for Hewitt's laughter.
Hewitt stopped his crazy laughter and his expression returned to before, as if nothing had happened.
The light inside the lord's hall was dim, and the only lighting around was a fire, which was made from wood cut from the nearby forest.
Under the light of the fire, Hewitt's face became increasingly unclear for some reason. His black robe was still covering him, and his black hood covered half of his face. King Ragnar could not see the expression on his face for a moment.
"His Majesty!"
Hewitt said in a voice devoid of any emotion.
This voice was extremely cold and cruel. After hearing this voice, King Ragnar felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. The anger that was about to burst out was extinguished at this moment. Instead, he became more calm than ever before.
"What do you want to say?"
King Ragnar's voice became calm, he was curious about what Hewitt was doing so early?
"Your Majesty, do you remember what I told you before? Wals has conquered the entire Rhodok Kingdom. His prestige is unprecedented, and his influence in the history of the entire Nordic Kingdom is absolutely unprecedented and unparalleled. It is not you who is recorded in the history books, but Wals."
This sentence was like a blow to Ragnar, waking him up.
"I understand!" King Ragnar was a smart man, how could he not understand what Hewitt wanted to express? Just with Hewitt's words, King Ragnar seemed to have become a different person, and his previous joy was gone. He knew how he would deal with Wals at this banquet.
King Ragnar waved his hand slowly. He became very calm at this time. Hewitt knew that his goal had been achieved, so he turned and left without saying a word. The firelight shining on her became clear at this time, as if telling of his victory.
Wals, Wals, even if you capture cities and conquer one-sixth of the continent's territory, I can kill you with just a few words.
As soon as he walked out of the castle hall, Hewitt couldn't help laughing, and a proud sound echoed in his laughter.
After a few days, our Vols finally arrived in Sargoth, accompanied by those lords of the Kingdom of Rhodok who refused to surrender. Of course, the focus was on King Gryphus. King Ragnar would personally exile him overseas. As for which island he was exiled to? That was unknown!
Wals looked back at her troops. This time, they were elite troops carefully selected by her. They all made great contributions in this war. The troops Wals brought this time were very small. After all, the Rhodok Kingdom had just been occupied, and a large number of soldiers were needed to be stationed in this area to prevent the immigrants from rebelling.
From afar, the soldiers guarding the city were delighted when they saw Wals's flag. Wals was an unprecedented god of war in their minds, so they were naturally happy to accept my arrival in Sagos. The people in Sagos already knew Wals's reputation, so they were very happy that Wals could arrive in their city. Many people gathered on the city wall to watch Wals' arrival. The streets were crowded with people. They were all nearby woodcutters, fishermen, farmers, and other workers. These ordinary civilians also wanted to see Wals's style.
The soldiers along the way stopped the people. In order to prevent them from causing chaos, a road was forcibly opened by this group of soldiers. Wals and his army slowly walked towards the castle hall along this road.
Wals still remembered that he had arrived in Sagos and booked a hotel to sleep in. Only one time, when he passed by the tavern he had been to before, he saw that the tavern was empty.
However, when Wals slowly moved forward and turned his perspective, he could see clearly that there was an old man drinking inside. He was drinking alone in the tavern because everyone else had run out to watch Wals, because Wals was a great hero to the Nord Kingdom.
Who is this old man? Such a special person naturally attracted the attention of Wals, but Wals was not angry at all if he didn't come to see his style. He was just an old man!
But suddenly, there was a slight movement of Lorimer in his arms.
"What's going on?"
Walls asked in his heart.
"I don't know! I don't know what happened, I just felt a little uneasy!"
When Wals was about to continue asking questions, he heard an old voice in his ear.
Wals looked around and saw the old voice muttering to himself. Suddenly, he stopped. At this time, Wals also found the source of the voice. In the tavern, the old man who was drinking alone was staring at Wals.
“Everything that goes up must come down!”
The old man just uttered these few words calmly. Then he stood up and left the tavern. He left through another door.
“Everything that goes up must come down?”
Walls only heard these few words, but he was suddenly confused. Why was he saying this to himself?
With this question in mind, Wals's warhorse slowly took Wals to the lord's hall.
In the Lords' Hall, many lords of the Nord Kingdom had already arrived. These people arrived in Sagos before Vols. After all, it takes a long way to get from the Rhodok Kingdom to Sagos, and these lords who are closer can get there first. These lords who got there first are definitely the lords who did not participate in the war, but this does not prevent them from coming to this banquet. After all, there are many lords with more seniority among them, so let these young people fight!
Other lords scattered on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rhodok also followed Wals's footsteps and arrived in Sagos. For a moment, Sagos seemed to be crowded with people, and Nord soldiers could be seen in every street and alley. They were all Nord soldiers fighting in the Kingdom of Rhodok in the south.
Since the Nord soldiers were fighting in the south, they would naturally be welcomed by the Nord people. At this moment, the whole of Saxe was filled with a kind of celebratory joy. There was no doubt that this was the joy brought by victory.
King Ragnar looked at Wals without any expression, just like many other lords present. Wals felt something was wrong as soon as he stepped into the door of the castle hall.
"My Lord! I have brought King Graves before you. Everything is at your disposal!"
King Ragnar, who was sitting in the main seat in the castle hall, looked at Wals without any emotion, with his expression unchanged.
"I will find a good place to exile King Graves."
King Ragnar said without any emotion.
This is a threat! A threat greater than King Graves.
Perhaps one day in the future, Wals will be exiled innocently like King Griffith, King Ragnar thought.
I'm going to get rid of it! I'm going to get rid of him!
Things progressed quickly. King Graves was chosen to be exiled in a secret location known only to a few high-ranking nobles, and Wals was obviously not among them.
Returning to the accommodation for the nobles, Walls was somewhat worried.
"What's wrong? Do you think King Ragnar is going to do something to you?"
Lorimer said so.
"I should have thought of this a long time ago! I worked so hard for him! After the battle in the Kingdom of Vigia, I knew that Ragnar didn't trust me. Tomorrow, tomorrow he will..."
Walls did not continue speaking. The long-standing sense of crisis surged into his mind. Without thinking, he called out to his brothers who were sleeping and the group of Nord soldiers who were fighting a bloody battle with him.
"Brothers, let's go back to the south. I have received a secret letter that a group of rebels are visiting the Rhodok Kingdom. We cannot let the fruits of our victory fall apart.
When they heard the call I gave them, the direct troops led by Wals quickly left Sagos.
This was something King Ragnar had not expected.
According to what Wals said, something happened in the south, so Wals did not directly report to King Ragnar before returning to the territory of the Kingdom of Rhodok. But who would believe this? This only made King Ragnar more suspicious, and he had decided to eliminate Wals. The relationship between the two immediately became extremely tense. All this was because of Hewitt and King Ragnar's own suspicion.
"Wols! You are courting death! Don't blame me." After hearing King Ragnar say that Wals had led his troops back to the Kingdom of Rhodok, Hewitt was sure that Wals would die. King Ragnar still firmly controlled the military forces of the major lords, which meant that most of the forces of the Nord Kingdom would be mobilized by King Ragnar. Wals would face the entire Nord Kingdom army, with a total of more than 2,000 Nord soldiers. Wals believed that there were not many lords who would follow him in treason except for those troops that belonged to him.
So, at most, Walls could gather an army of more than 700 people.
Such a change occurred at the banquet, which was unexpected by all the lords. Rudjaar wanted to come out to defend Wals, but under the angry eyes of King Ragnar, no one dared to stand up and question Wals. After all, Wals had led his troops to secretly flee the city, but what did fleeing the city mean? Could it be that nothing could happen in the south?
King Ragnar had no intention of thoroughly investigating the true circumstances of the matter, and immediately mobilized the lords at the banquet to chase after Wals.
Wals did not return to his territory by the original route. He chose to take a detour because if he wanted to pass through the territory of the Nordic Kingdom, he would definitely be intercepted by the major lords. In this case, he would take a detour from the territory controlled by the Khergit Khanate and shuttle between the borders of the Nordic Kingdom and the Khergit Khanate.
This method is the best method. Therefore, in order to avoid the pursuit of the fallen lord, Wals chose to march near the border of the Khergit Khanate. Although the accompanying Nord soldiers were a little puzzled as to why they did not take the shortcut of their own kingdom, but took a long detour to reach the vicinity of the Khergit Khanate.
