If he wanted to defeat the Khergit Khanate again, he had to find another person.
But after thinking about it, no one was more suitable than Wals. For the first time, King Ragnar regretted his decision.
Soon, with the retreat of Maltas, Nayan Hugu also received the news from Maltas's messenger. Without Maltas to resist King Ragnar's troops in the north, the Silver Fox Dog could not rob property in the south. Soon the two armies met in Dehrim. Some soldiers took the materials and finances looted from the Nord Kingdom back to the country of the Khergit Khanate. The rest were stationed near Dehrim to prevent King Ragnar from wanting to besiege Dehrim.
King Ragnar did not besiege Dehrim. Since the Khergit Khanate had withdrawn its troops, he was not in a hurry to hold the Khergit Khanate responsible. The top priority was to quell the civil strife first.
As Edenjar's troops retreated, King Ragnar realized that it was almost impossible for him to pacify Vols, so he went to Peters' bedside and asked how he could take back Vols.
But when he arrived at Peters' residence with heavy and sad steps, Peters was already dying.
Peters had been living alone in a simple house. When Ragnar arrived, Peters stood up weakly from his bed. King Ragnar knew that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He immediately ordered his servants to assign him some odd jobs. But this couldn't make up for Peters' pain. He could only watch the time pass day by day. The disease had taken away most of her vitality. Maybe in the near future, she would leave the world.
When King Ragnar mentioned how to appease Vols and make him a part of the Nord Kingdom again, Peters could only shake his head helplessly. King Ragnar seemed to have known that it was impossible to appease my heart. But Ragnar never gave up any hope in his heart.
He stood in front of Peters' bed, slowly moving through his body, his eyes full of hatred, and Peters could feel the rage burning in the king. All the causes were actually caused by one person, Hewitt. Only by getting rid of Hewitt could Wals be forgiven. King Ragnar thought so, but it was unknown whether Wals thought so.
Peters had seen through King Ragnar's intentions. He wanted to kill Hewitt, but whether he could kill Hewitt was still unknown. At this moment, Hewitt was staying with Edenjar.
In order to keep track of King Ragnar's movements at all times, both enemies and friends would place some spies around King Ragnar. The enemies, of course, wanted to control King Ragnar's military movements, while their friends only wanted to control King Ragnar's preferences. If one day King Ragnar wanted to attack himself, then I, the spy, would notify its master in advance so that its master could escape the crisis.
Hewitt and Edenjar both placed some people around King Ragnar, so that they could provide them with enough intelligence one day in the future to avoid any crisis.
King Ragnar had inadvertently told his guards that he wanted to kill Hewitt. That guard was the one whom Hewitt had bribed. He immediately asked another messenger to inform Hewitt, who was heading towards Sagos, of this information.
When the messenger appeared in front of Hewitt and told him that Ragnar was going to operate on him, Hewitt knew that he was in big trouble.
Originally, if he could successfully eliminate Walsh in the southern expedition, none of these things would have happened. Hewitt was already gritting his teeth in hatred. But the crisis had already occurred, and he could not just sit there and wait for death.
At night, yes, it was already night when the messenger found him, and he sneaked directly into Idenyar's camp.
"Who is it? Why are you looking for me so late at night?"
This time, Idenjar is going to meet King Ragnar. Since he is a defeated general, it is natural for him to meet his king. Idenjar has made up his mind. It is normal for him to accept Ragnar's punishment.
At this moment, in the middle of the night, someone actually came to disturb him. Now he felt a little annoyed.
"It's me! Hewitt."
At this time, when Edenyar heard Hewitt's voice, he calmed down his angry heart.
"What's going on?"
Hewitt just appeared as a dark shadow in front of Edenyar, and it was obvious that a heavy aura emanated from Hewitt.
"Ragnar is going to kill us."
Hewitt said, you're not surprising.
"How is that possible?"
Idenyar almost jumped out of his bed. He couldn't believe such a statement.
"We were defeated! This means we will never have a chance to defeat Vols again. The Rhodok in the south will never be able to become part of the Nordic Kingdom, so King Ragnar has every reason to kill us. The spy I planted beside King Ragnar has reported this to me. The initiative is in our hands. In order not to harm his former comrades, Vols has preserved all the strength and integrity of our troops."
"Wait!" Edenyar was still immersed in King Ragnar's words that he wanted to kill him, and had no time to pay attention to the meaning of Hewitt's subsequent words.
"No, I don't believe it! I must find King Ragnar in person to ask for the truth."
Edenyar wanted to argue, but Hewitt's next words made him fall into deep thought forever.
"There's no chance! Take my advice General! Let's do the same as Walls!"
"What!?"
Edengar was unable to react for a moment. The darkness blinded his eyes and made him lose his reason and calm.
"We have most of the power of the Nordic Kingdom. As long as we can convince the remaining lords to join us and have strong military force, we can overthrow even King Ragnar. Think about Wals, he is just a fallen nobleman, but he has the ability to become a king? Isn't this an irony? If you think about it, wouldn't someone of noble birth like you have a better chance of becoming king?"
Hewitt had become so desperate that he knew that if he did not resist, he would be killed, exiled, or driven away by King Ragnar.
Idenyar suddenly fell into deep thought, wondering which was more important. If he went to Sargos foolishly, he would be killed by King Ragnar, but if he chose to rebel, he would still have a chance of survival. But if he rebelled, it would not be enough to rely on the strength of the two armies of himself and Hewitt. Those nobles were all arrogant guys, and he could not control them alone.
"Even if I am born nobler than Wals, I cannot control those nobles because they have the same bloodline as me. If I want to establish myself as king, then they will have a better chance."
Idenyar's analysis made sense, but he didn't realize that King Ragnar's words about wanting to kill him were a lie Hewitt had told her in order to save his life.
"I know! If we want to rebel now, no one will submit to anyone else. General, you will definitely catch them. But I know there is someone who can help the lord by stabbing you in the face, and no one will spread rumors anymore."
Hewitt's words aroused Idenyar's interest. If such a person really existed, he could be made king, but this king must be under his control. He would become his puppet and secretly control the entire Nord Kingdom.
When he thought of this person, the image of a character suddenly appeared in front of Yidenyar's eyes.
"The Prophet Lethven!"
These are the words that came out of Hewitt's mouth. Edenjar finally understood what Hewitt wanted to do.
"I understand what you mean! But why should we find this guy and ask him? Because of King Ragnar's order, he hasn't set foot in the Nord Kingdom for a long time. Where can we find her and bring her back to the country?"
"You don't have to worry about this! As long as we raise the flag and save our lives first, we can send people to find the prophet Lethven. When the prophet Lethven hears that there is a group of people supporting him in the country, I believe he will rush back to his country as soon as possible. By then, we will have both reputation and army. Do you hope that the Nord Kingdom will not be under our rule? King Ragnar wants to kill or exile us, which is impossible."
伊登雅尔经过这一个晚上仿佛就变了一个人一样,她那被黑夜蒙蔽的双眼此时已经看到了一条通往光明的道路。当然了这对于拉格纳国王来说无疑是灭顶之灾。
自此在萨哥斯以西的领地,从提哈为中心,附近的原属于诺德王国的领地部都易主了。
拉格纳国王正在等待着归途当中的休伊特,可是他的使者却向他报告了一个让他难以置信的消息。
伊登雅尔已经发生了叛变。
因为它携带着强大的军事力量,其他的那一些小领主都迫不得已而选择了投降,或者说他们选择站在伊登雅尔那一方,鲁德雅尔因为事先就知道了风声,暂时逃过了伊登雅尔的追捕,现在他正带领的部队回到自己的领地也就是鲁达堡。
“这简直就是不可思议!伊登雅尔难道也要像沃尔斯一样自立为王吗?”拉格纳再清楚不过伊登雅尔的血统,按理说他是比沃尔斯要高贵一点,但是他绝对没有那个胆量敢自立为王。而根据他已知的情报来看,伊登雅尔已经去寻找另一位对诺德王国的宣称者。
先知先知勒斯汶。
“我就知道!我就知道当初就不应该手下留情留下先知勒斯汶在那里,我应该斩草除根的。”
拉格纳国王现在再怎么哀叹也不管用的了,他只得拍着自己的胸脯吐吐自己的不快。
也就是今天,诺德王国的内战面爆发了。
如果说之前沃尔斯自立为王的话,那还可以算作是分裂活动,可是现在,伊登雅尔推举先知勒斯汶为国王,这就是一场诺德王国内部的权力争夺。
而因为伊登雅尔所率领的绝大部分领土都服从伊登雅尔的指挥,这也就意味着诺德王国超过半数的力量都被伊登雅尔被掌控了。
拉格纳国王知道自己不能闲着,他现在必须着急自己仅能够所着急的部队。
而自己安插在伊登雅尔军队内部的两员大将,法林顿和野斧这两个人,都被伊登雅尔给抓住了。拉格纳国王现在手下无大将,没有人来帮他统率自己的军队,这样的话只有他自己一个人亲自出马了。伊登雅尔因为用强大的武力说服了那些领主,使得那些领主麾下的士兵也为伊登雅尔所拥有。战争一开始拉格纳国王就处在劣势当中。
可是大陆的局势发展的就是这样快。
处于维鲁加当中的沃尔斯突然就接到了自己传令兵带来的消息。
“什么!伊登雅尔回去的时候已经宣布和拉格纳国王开战了?他们要推之推举先知勒斯汶为诺德王国的新国王。
沃尔斯听到自己的情报仍然从从大陆上面带回来的情报,他顿时就激动不已,这是一个好机会,诺德王国还处在内战当中的时候,沃尔斯就可以稳定罗多克近日内的反叛势力,那些罗多克王国的残余势力可以一一剿灭。
不过局势发展是很快的,当着一位情报人员从沃尔斯的面前离开,沃尔斯刚刚从坐在自己的位置上面,又是一位情报人员进入了城堡大厅当中,此时的城堡大厅里面已经空**无人,所有的那些将领和领主都被沃尔斯安排下去进行建设自己的领地发展。艾雷恩等贵族领主已经被分封了领地,他们将到达自己的领地和自己的领民好好处理关系。下一次战争打响的时候他们将从他们的封地里面抽调大量的精壮战斗力。
“报告陛下!我们带来了一个好消息,在斯瓦迪亚境内的帕拉汶,在当初和斯瓦迪亚王国战斗当中的维利斯在苏诺的艾索娜夫人的带领之下重新建立斯瓦迪亚王国。而他们的敌人就是诺德王国。”
情报人员又再一次给沃尔斯带来了一个好消息,沃尔斯今天可是极其开心。两股强大的力量正在搅动拉格纳国王的统治地位,这样的话拉格纳国王是无法再继续对自己进行清剿。就让他们三家在北边斗来斗去吧,而他自己只要稳定南方。
沃尔斯挥了挥手,示意他赶紧下去,不过今天消息是特别多的,当第三位情报人员踏进城堡大人大厅,沃尔斯的眉头做了做,他可以感觉到,这一定是一个坏消息,一天就有个好事情不可能太多。
不出沃尔斯所料,这一个情报带来的是罗多克人造反的消息。
“你陛下!在亚伦山区里面的罗多克人在维鲁加凯斯托领主的带领之下竖起了反叛的旗帜,那是亚伦的残余贵族说请来的凯斯特领主,我们在亚伦集结的兵力实在是太少了。”
沃尔斯皱了皱眉头,这是在他的意料之中,沃尔斯对于亚伦及其周边地区的控制是比较弱小的,当务之急应该是赶紧重回维鲁加,调派兵力迅速稳定亚伦的局势,凯斯托领主是罗多克王国的一位宣称者,尽管说原先的国王是葛瑞福斯国王,但是现在葛瑞福斯国王已经被流放了,罗多克王国已经是群龙无首,当初的这位宣称者凯斯托领主现在就有机会能够重新成为罗多克王国的国王。不过他要想收复失地,首当其冲的应该是先打败沃尔斯。
沃尔斯挥挥手,他知道一刻都不能够停歇,大陆上的局势变化如此之快,或许已经超出沃尔斯的一辆。
可是今天注定是被人值得纪念的一天,因为这一天发生的事情实在是太多了。沃尔斯的情报人员正在源源不断的赶往维鲁加,因为大陆上面的局势已经发生了剧烈的变化。
马尔塔斯在半途当中遇见了达斯塔姆可汗,这件事说巧不巧,达斯塔姆可汗是库吉特汗国的宣称者,如果说不发生意外的话,塞加可汗就会和达斯塔姆可汗一起平分整个库吉特汗国,可是塞加可汗却没有这么做,库吉特人的传统是在父亲死掉后将财产分成两半分给儿子,不过塞加可汗认为在大陆上面若是自己是让国家进行分裂的话,一定存活不了,他放逐了达斯塔姆可汗。
马尔塔斯已经接受了失败,被拉格纳国王所打败的打击对他来说太大了,那颜忽古要求继续将达斯塔姆可汗赶出库吉特汗国的边境,可是马尔塔斯却没这么做。他选择了另外一个做法。
原本大陆上面的血统论因为沃尔斯的出现而被打破,一个没落的贵族可以自立为王,既然如此马尔塔斯这一个来自于贫穷家庭的家伙为什么不能够这么做呢?
马尔塔斯选择支持达斯塔姆可汗,那颜忽古知道自己因为兵力不足只能暂时假装帮助马尔塔斯,其实他已经打算在马尔塔斯的军队当中充当间谍了。达斯塔姆可汗的出现绝对不是一个巧合,达斯塔姆可汗已经注意到大陆上面的局势动**,他事先就打探到库吉特汗国的马尔塔斯,按理说塞加可汗只是将达斯塔姆可汗驱逐出境,库吉特汗国里面的贵族在看见了达斯塔姆可汗之后,都会对他尊敬有加,尽管说不能够将达斯塔姆可汗给带回国内,但是毕竟他也是一位宣称者,也是血统高贵之人,对他的尊重自然不能够减少。
所以这对于达斯塔姆可汗来说的话,去面见马尔塔斯只不过是丢一些面子而已,如果失败了丢一些面子,但是如果成功了,他便有可能重新夺取库吉特汗国的王位。
此时,原本就混乱不堪的卡拉迪亚大陆又兴起了一场血雨腥风,最南边的沙漠之国萨兰德苏丹国,这原本是一个平和宁静的国家,完可以乘着大陆上面的其他国家正在爆发内战的时候他们就有机会狠狠的出击痛痛快快的将所有的敌人一一消灭。可是很不幸,作文萨兰德苏丹国进攻库吉特汗国的最大功臣法尔维娅却找到了珍珠之光阿尔瓦。
珍珠之光阿尔瓦是苏丹国的宣传者,他有足够的宣称能够得到萨兰德苏丹国的王位。法尔维娅找到了珍珠之光阿尔瓦并将他推出新的萨尔苏丹国之王。
斯瓦迪亚王国的复国者艾索娜夫人,诺德王国的宣传者先知勒斯汶,萨兰德苏丹国的珍珠之光二娃,库吉特汗国的达斯塔姆可汗。
这些人暂时不是沃尔斯的敌人,沃尔斯的当务之急是平定处在罗多克境内的凯斯托领主。他已经重新加冕为罗多克王国的国王。
原本已经被消灭的罗多克王国此时此刻死灰复燃。凯斯托领主抓住的就是沃尔斯刚刚占领罗多克王国,他立根未稳,罗多克王国里面的大贵族都被诺德王国用武力强行拔除,但是那些散落在罗多克王国境内的村庄里面的小贵族却并没有支持沃尔斯,与此同时大部分的罗多克境内的平民都在担心着沃尔斯能否带给他们更好的生活。或者说能否维持他们以前的生活?
Wals also understood that he left behind people like Manid, Yamila, and Catherine. They were responsible for logistics and internal affairs and helped Wals manage the occupied territory of the Rhodok Kingdom.
Only if the people of the Rhodok Kingdom can have a better life, will they voluntarily follow Wals. On the other hand, Wals personally led his direct troops, that is, the Nord soldiers led by the Nord Kingdom. These soldiers all voluntarily followed Wals, and their loyalty was extremely high. At this moment, if you lead your Rhodok soldiers to fight, those Rhodok soldiers will definitely not be willing to obey Wals' orders, and most of the elite Rhodok soldiers have been eliminated by Wals, and it is impossible to form a strong army in a short time.
