"Your Majesty, which piece of land are you going to give to Wals?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. Why do you ask this?" King Ragnar asked curiously. He was also surprised that Hurudyaar was so anxious.
"Wols has made such great contributions to the Nord Kingdom. His contribution is immeasurable. I think we should give him the largest city. Of course, Paraven cannot give it to him.
I think the city of Suno is pretty good. After all, he killed Hosbens, the most powerful guardian of the city. I don't think it's too much to give him this city."
"Okay, okay, I have my own plans. Do you have anything else to say?" King Ragnar waved his hand and said to Rudyaar in front of him.
Seeing that King Ragnar was no longer listening to his words, Rudyaar did not continue to dawdle with King Ragnar. He hastily retreated.
But halfway through the journey, he turned his body around again.
"I think Your Majesty should be careful about the relationship between Tuayaer and Wals. If the two of them form an alliance, I think it will be very disadvantageous to Your Majesty."
Rudyaar said this before saying goodbye. King Ragnar did not give Rudyaar a clear answer, but he slowly closed his eyes.
After thinking about the situation around him, he felt that there was no need to intervene. King Ragnar didn't know what kind of ambitions Gutt had, and no one knew what his personality and character were like.
Under such circumstances, Ragnar didn't know what to do next. Perhaps after tonight, he would get the answer he wanted.
When the next day came, Wals arrived at King Ragnar's council. Everything was there. Wals had made up his mind to become a lord under King Ragnar.
Decide to pledge allegiance to King Ragnar. Only by pledging allegiance to King Ragnar can you get a fief. Before this, no king on the Calradia continent had ever granted a fief to a noble who had not pledged allegiance to him. The nobles mentioned here, and only nobles, can get fiefs. Ordinary civilians are not eligible to get fiefs. Unless they can make enough military achievements in the war to deal with the other nobles who are talking nonsense.
"You have declared your allegiance to me, and I am glad to have a talent like you."
King Ragnar was very happy about Wals's loyalty. All this was within his expectations, but King Ragnar was still very happy. The lords next to him also thought that this was within expectations. Wals had enough military exploits, which could not be matched by ordinary money. Only hereditary fiefdoms could be worth these military exploits.
Then the next thing was a matter of course, and Lagra Guang began to announce the fiefdom granted to Wals. This was unexpected to everyone present, but if you think about it carefully, it is still reasonable.
The entire city of Suno was given to Wals, and all of Suno's subordinate villages were also given to Wals.
Such a reward really made the lords on the side salivate, and they all lamented why such a good thing didn't happen to them? But if you think about it carefully, if it weren't for Walter's astute command, there would be no such military exploits and no such fiefdom.
Therefore, none of the lords present raised any objections. A smile appeared on Rudjaar's lips. It seemed that King Ragnar had done things according to his wishes. Of course, he would never dare to tell anyone that this was his intention, after all, it was related to King Ragnar's prestige. If Rudjaar's idea was adopted by King Ragnar, it would be seen that Rudjaar's prestige was higher than King Ragnar's, which was completely different from adopting the advice of a counselor.
Therefore, Rudyaer quietly closed his mouth, kept the matter in his heart and laughed secretly.
When Walls first heard the news, he was filled with joy. This was a huge reward, although this reward was within his expectations.
But this could not suppress the impulse in his heart, and the excitement emanated from his inside out. However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wals naturally had to behave properly, and his overly excited behavior would naturally not be shown, and at this moment his companions were also very excited.
As a noble, Airen didn't want to see the land he was supposed to inherit taken away by others. After he followed Wals, he was naturally very excited to see the man he followed get such a reward. He dreamed that he would get a piece of land of his own at some point in the future.
Then, to everyone's surprised gaze, King Ragnar assigned another task to Wals.
"Wols, you have obtained a city as your territory at such a young age. This is indeed not something that an ordinary person can do. The fact that you can do such a thing fully demonstrates that your ability is far superior to that of ordinary people. Although you are a fallen noble, I will still give you the reward you deserve.
Now I have an important task for you. This task is very simple. You need to convey our goodwill to our ally, King Griffus, the ruler of the Kingdom of Rhodok, in the south, and express that our relationship will become closer. "King Ragnar directly stated his next step. Those lords with enough political experience could easily see what King Ragnar was thinking now. It was obvious that he wanted to continue to unite with the Kingdom of Rhodok.
Of course, the Nord Kingdom now has two targets. One is the Vaegir Kingdom to the west of the Nord Kingdom, and the other is the Khergit Khanate to the southeast of the Nord Kingdom. One of these two countries will definitely be attacked by the Nord Kingdom.
For a guy like Walls who has rich tactical experience but lacks political experience, it took him a while to figure out the meaning behind King Ragnar's move.
After Tuyar said this, he already knew King Ragnar's next move. Tuyar could already clearly judge that King Ragnar would begin to advance westward, and the Kingdom of Vigia would be the next target to be annexed.
At this moment, everyone has his own thoughts in his mind, and Walls also has his own thoughts, but he is still in the process of surprise. Perhaps after he grows up and experiences more things, such a reward will not cause any waves in his heart.
But before that, he had many ideas in his mind about building his own territory. Although this place was previously the territory of the Kingdom of Swadia, after a long period of war, the people here were longing for peace, and Wals had many ideas that he wanted to put into practice.
Time passed quickly, and on the second day, Wals was getting ready to get up. Last night, he was not thinking about meeting King Griffus of the Rhodok Kingdom, but about how to build his own territory. For a newcomer like him, it was inevitable to be a little excited when he first got his own territory.
However, with Lorimer by his side, Wals soon woke up from such excitement. Lorimer's appropriate reminder made him quickly clear what he should do. The first task was naturally to complete the task assigned to him by King Ragnar. After all, this was his king, and all the last time came from King Ragnar. If he did not serve King Ragnar well, he would suffer in the end.
After conquering Huxhall, King Gryfus led his troops back to the Kingdom of Rhodok. While the lords of the country were gathered in Viruga, King Gryfus held a small banquet for Luke. As the city lord, Count Rayland was naturally willing to take on this obligation. The whole country was jubilant. The deceived Rhodok people believed that their enemies had been eliminated. In this way, there would be no enemies in the future. These ordinary civilians thought that the war was over, but something they could never imagine would happen. Although everyone was eager for peace to come, the power struggles and intrigues among the nobles would never allow peace to come.
Wals and his entourage traveled lightly with only a small number of followers, so they moved very quickly. Rudyaar was obviously a little worried about Wals's mission this time, so he asked King Ragnar to bring a diplomatic envoy with rich diplomatic experience to go with Wals. But under Ragnar's special instruction.
He carefully selected an ordinary diplomat. In King Ragnar's opinion, if he gave King Gryfus enough face at this time, it would be counterproductive, which was not what King Ragnar wanted to see.
Peters did not make any judgment on King Ragnar's actions.
He did not say a word, just waiting for King Ragnar's order. He watched quietly like a bystander, and there was a reason for his view. After all, Peters could not accurately grasp King Griffus's current character.
Although Peters was a wise man who listened to the world's affairs while sitting at home, he was not clear about the character of King Gryphus and the voice of the Rhodok people at the moment. Before that, he put all his energy into how to destroy the Kingdom of Swadia. As for the Rhodok Kingdom in the south, she did not study it at all.
The next target of the Nord Kingdom is the Kingdom of Vaegir to the west of the Nord Kingdom. If the Kingdom of Vaegir is conquered by the Nord Kingdom, the Nord Kingdom's hegemony will be unshakable. Therefore, such a strategic goal is extremely important. Peters did not spare any energy to study the Rhodok Kingdom in the south. According to King Ragnar and his own judgment, the Rhodok Kingdom has no reason to go to war with the Nord Kingdom anyway.
Therefore, they all believed that there was nothing wrong with Yu Chen from the Rhodok Kingdom this time, but at the same time, it was precisely because of this that it gave others an opportunity to take advantage of it.
This opportunity was not meant for anyone else, but for the Sarranid Sultanate, the owner of the cruel desert region in the southernmost part of the continent. They did not send troops there when they were competing for hegemony on the continent, so when the Khergit Khanate, the Nordic Kingdom, the Vaegir Kingdom, the Rhodok Kingdom, and the Swadian Kingdom.
When these five countries were fighting for power in the center of the continent, the Sarand Sultanate was just watching secretly. Although they only owned the desert area, they still had a rich treasury by living tenaciously in the desert area. They were also thinking about how to occupy the center of the continent all the time. After all, the desert area was a cruel area. Even if there were precious spices, just like having inexpensive pottery, the Sarand Sultanate was still not satisfied. After formulating a series of policies, Sultan Hakim sent his own envoy to the owner of the mountain area, King Gryphus of the Kingdom of Rhodok. On that day, the envoy happened to catch up with the celebration banquet in the city of Viruga.
Francine was an envoy sent by Sultan Hakim of the Sarand Sultanate. Because of her extraordinary talent, she was promoted to an envoy even though she was a woman. This caused a sensation in the Sarand Sultanate. No one could have imagined that Sultan Hakim would give such an important task to a woman at this moment.
"King Graves, I extend my highest regards to you on behalf of Sultan Hakim of the Sarand Sultanate."
Francine spoke to the king in her unique feminine tone. At this time, lords from all over the country had already arrived at this celebration banquet. In full view of the crowd, Francine was wearing a black veil, and no one could see her face. Judging from her posture, these lords tacitly believed that the guilty woman was definitely a girl with outstanding looks.
In Calradia, the status of women is relatively low. To be able to send a woman as an envoy to other countries, this woman must have extraordinary talents. Although some of the lords are very dissatisfied with this woman and look down on women, there are still some lords who are very curious about this woman.
"Let's not waste any more time. I'm used to all your etiquette. So tell me why Sultan Hakim of the Sarand Sultanate sent you here. I can't believe that the master of a country would send an envoy to my country to greet me for no reason. Besides, our two countries have never had any intersection before. What exactly is your Sultanate planning to do?" King Griffus was obviously in a very good mood because of the celebration banquet. Before this, he might have sent away the envoy of the Sultanate with just one sentence. He would not let their envoy say a word.
"I'm afraid Sultan Hakim is already holding a banquet with Ni Yangzhai at this time. I can plan something for you that is related to the future of the entire Rhodok Kingdom."
"So what is it?" King Graves suddenly became interested.
"You mean, I will join forces with Sultan Hakim?" King Griffiths had already reacted at this time without a heavy hammer for the drum to sound, or he had guessed it long ago. This was also very normal. King Griffiths knew that his people wanted to stop the war, because in the eyes of his people, the invaders had been eliminated, so these things should be ended. War is the most harmful to one's own country, but now it seems that King Griffiths does not want to stop this war, because he wants to become an emperor who will be remembered forever.
So he had to expand.
So he had to use lies once again to deceive his own people, mobilize their enthusiasm, and then make them follow him to defeat the Kingdom of Nord.
"So, Your Majesty, are you moved?" Francine seemed to be very good at observing people's words and expressions. She could tell what King Graves was thinking at a glance. She wanted to complete the task assigned to her by Sultan Hakim, so at this moment, she was very happy in her heart, but on the surface, she still did not show any excitement. Keeping her expression unchanged was her expertise, otherwise, Sultan Hakim would not value her.
"I still need to discuss with the lords about joining forces with Sultan Hakim." King Griffith knew that these lords were his meritorious followers. If he wanted to go to war, he had to maintain good relations with these people. If he did not do so and they betrayed him, then it would mean that his plan would face bankruptcy. At this time, King Griffith gave his lords enough face.
But at this moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The reason was of course very simple. No one had expected that at this time, just when the war had just ended, the envoy of Sultan Hakim would come out. This was really sudden. They all thought that this was not a good idea and that the war should be stopped temporarily, which made them not know what to do at all.
However, every country has its own staunch supporters of the king. Several lords who firmly supported King Graves stood up at this time. They seemed to have guessed Graves's thoughts long ago, and they all said that they should unite with Sultan Hakim.
However, there are still some lords who have not reacted at this time. In their opinion, they should wait for their strength to recover instead of fighting another battle.
"It's actually a very simple matter. I came here just at this time. You know, the situation on the mainland is very complicated, but also very simple." Francine said.
"So how simple is it, and how complicated is it?" King Griffiths was obviously interested.
"There are constant disputes on the continent now, and various forces emerge one after another. Isn't this complicated? And now the largest force on the continent has been formed." Francine said nonsense, but King Griffith was obviously interested.
He smiled secretly in his heart at this statement. Yes, he seemed to have guessed Sultan Hakim's intention.
"The biggest power is the Nordic Kingdom, which annexed the Kingdom of Swadia. Although my king is far away in the south, he is well aware of the situation on the continent. Sultan Hakim knows that the Nordic Kingdom will inevitably become the next threat to the Rhodok Kingdom." Francine continued to speak in her seductive voice. Although her voice was still a little cold, it still made everyone present want to see her appearance.
"Well, yes. If the Nord Kingdom comes to invade my country like the Swadia Kingdom did, then what is the difference between them and the original Swadia Kingdom? I must be careful to guard against it." King Gryphus seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact, he was talking to his men in order to attract their attention.
But even with these words, there was still a group of young lords who remained silent. To them, this was simply a fantasy. After all, they were their allies in the past, but how come they had become their enemies now?
After seeing the doubtful looks of his young lords, King Gryphus shook his head and sighed, saying that they were too naive and too young. If they were more mature, they would know that these things were supposed to happen.
The evil of human nature was fully exposed at this moment.
A former ally will become an enemy in the next second. This is the rule formed on this continent.
“So, King Graves, the Nord Kingdom is the most powerful right now. You have to know that this country has annexed the Swadia Kingdom, so in the next second, they might extend their claws to the Rhodok Kingdom.
So you need a staunch ally to fight against the Nord Kingdom together." Francine continued, and at this point, everyone seemed to have understood why Francine came here.
"You mean, I will join forces with Sultan Hakim?" King Griffiths had already reacted at this time, or he had guessed it long ago. This was also normal. King Griffiths knew that his people wanted to stop the war.
