"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. The treacherous Kingdom of Swadia had been eliminated by the great King Gryfus. 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.

他精心挑选的一名普普通通的外交官，在拉格纳国王看来，如果在这个时候给足了葛瑞福斯国王面子的话，反而会适得其反，这可不是拉格纳国王想要看到的事情。

对于拉格纳国王的这样的一个做法，彼得斯没有做出任何的判断。

他没有说一句话，仅仅只是等待着拉格纳国王的下达的指令。他就像一个旁观者一样在一旁静静的看着，他这样的看待也是有着一定的道理的，毕竟彼得斯现在也无法准确的掌握格瑞福斯国王现在的性格。

虽然说彼得斯是一个坐在家中听见天下事的智者，但是对于格瑞福斯国王的性格，以及当下罗多克民众的呼声，彼得斯并不清楚，在此之前，他把所有的精力都投入到如何消灭斯瓦迪亚王国。对于在南边的罗多克王国，她根本就没有去研究。

而诺德王国的下一个目标，这是在诺德王国西边的维吉亚王国，如果说维吉亚王国被诺德王国攻破的话，诺德王国的霸主地位将无法撼动。因此这样的一个战略目标极为重要，彼得斯没有抽出任何的精力来研究南边的罗多克王国，而根据拉格纳国王和他自己的判断，无论如何，罗多克王国都没有一个可以与诺德王国开战的理由。

因此他们都认为罗多克王国的这一次雨晨并没有任何的不妥，但与此同时，也就是因为这样，才给了别人可乘之机。

这一个可乘之机，不是说的别人，正是说的来自于大陆的最南边，残酷的沙漠地区的主人，萨兰德苏丹国，他们在大陆争霸的时候并没有派兵前往，因此当库吉特汗国，诺德王国，维吉亚王国，罗多克王国，斯瓦迪亚王国。

这五个国家正在大陆的中心争权夺利的时候，萨兰德苏丹国仅仅只是在一旁偷偷观望着，他们虽然仅仅只是拥有着沙漠地区，但是顽强的生活在沙漠地区的他们依然有着富饶的国库，他们也在时时刻刻尽在思考着如何侵占在大陆中心的地方，沙漠地区毕竟是残酷的地区，就算有着珍贵的香料，就像有着物美价廉的陶器，萨兰德苏丹国依然不满足。在制定了一系列的方针之后，哈基姆苏丹便派出了他自己的使者，前往山地地区的主人，罗多克王国的葛瑞福斯国王。就在那一天，使者刚好就干赶上了维鲁加城市里面的那一场庆功宴。

弗朗辛是萨兰德苏丹国哈基姆苏丹派过来的一名使者，因为他有着过人才干，即使身为女性，也破例提拔为一名使者。就在萨兰德苏丹国引起了轰然的冲动，谁也想不到，在这个时刻哈基姆苏丹居然会把这么重要的任务交给一个女人。

“葛瑞福斯国王，我代表着萨兰德苏丹国哈基姆苏丹向你致以最高的问候。”

弗朗辛以她那女性特有的口吻对着高堂之上的国王说道，此时聚集在全国各地的领主都已经在这一场庆功宴当中到来的，众目睽睽之中，弗朗辛带着一层黑色的面巾，众人无法看出她的面容，通过她的身姿来看，这些领主都默认的认为罪名女性绝对是一名姿色出众的女生。

在卡拉迪亚大陆，女性的地位相对来说比较低下，能够派遣一名女性作为使者出使到其他国家，想必这一名女性绝对有着非同常人的才能。中为领主虽然有的对这名女性非常不满，他们瞧不起女性，但是还是有着一部分领主对这名女人起到非常大的好奇心。

“废话不多说，你的哪些礼仪我都已经见怪不怪了，那么告诉我，萨兰德苏丹国的哈基姆苏丹此次派你前来到底是因为什么原因，我不敢相信一个国家的主人会莫名其妙的派一个使者到我的国家来向我致以问候，况且我们两个国家之间从前根本就没有任何的交集，你们苏丹国到底是打算做什么？”格瑞福斯国王明显是因为庆功宴的心情变得极度的好，在此之前他在见到了苏丹国的使者可能就是仅仅一句话就给打发走了。根本就不会让他们的使者多说一句话。

“哈基姆苏丹在这个时候恐怕已经也和尼样摘举行着一场宴会，我可以替你计划一个事情，就可以说关系到整个罗多克王国的未来。”

“那么到底是什么事情呢？”葛瑞福斯国王突然就来了兴趣。

“你是说，我和哈基姆苏丹联手？”响鼓不用重锤，葛瑞福斯国王在这个时候就已经反应过来了，或者说他早就已经猜到了，这也是很正常的，葛瑞福斯国王知道自己的人民是想要停止战争，因为在自己的人民看来，侵略者已经被消灭了，那么就应该把这些事情给终结，战争是最伤害自己国家的，但是在现在看来葛瑞福斯国王是不想要停止这一场战争的，因为他想要成为一个名垂千古的帝王。

因此他必须要进行扩张。

所以他必须要再一次使用谎言去欺骗自己的国民，调动他们的积极性，然后使得他们可以跟随着自己一起去把诺德王国给打败。

“那么，国王陛下你是心动了？”弗朗辛看起来是很会察言观色的，他一眼就可以看出来葛瑞福斯国王现在的想法，她要完成哈基姆苏丹交给自己的事情，所以在这个时候，她的内心是很开心的，但是在表面之上，她还是没有露出任何的激动，保持住自己的表情不变化，是她的专长，不然的话，她也不会被哈基姆苏丹给看重。

“联合哈基姆苏丹我还是要和诸位领主商量一下。”葛瑞福斯国王知道这些领主都是跟随着自己的功臣，要是想要打仗的话，那么就必须和这些人搞好自己的关系，如果不是这样做的话，导致他们背叛自己的话，那么就意味着自己的计划将面临着破产，此时的葛瑞福斯国王现在可是给足了自己的领主面子。

可是在现在这一刻，大家都是面面相觑，原因自然是很简单，谁也想不到在这个时候，就在战争刚刚结束的时候，哈基姆苏丹的使者就出来了，这实在是他突然了，他们都认为这不是一个好想法，现在应该暂时停止战争，使得他们根本就不知道如何是好。

不过哪一个国家都不缺少对于国王坚定的拥护派，那几个对于葛瑞福斯国王有着坚定的拥护心情的领主们就在这个时候站了出来，他们似乎早就猜透了葛瑞福斯国外的想法，纷纷出来说道应该和哈基姆苏丹联合。

但是还是有着一些领主在这个时候还是没有反应过来，在他们看来现在应该是等待着自己的实力恢复，而不是再去打一仗。

“事情其实是很简单的事情，我这一次来就是为了在这个时候，你知道的，现在在大陆上面的局势是很复杂的，但是却是又很简单的。”弗朗辛说道。

“那么是怎么样的简单，又是怎么样的复杂。”葛瑞福斯国王显然是来了兴趣。

“现在的大陆上面纷争不断，各种各样的势力层出不穷，这不就是一种复杂吗？而现在大陆上面最大的势力已经形成了。”弗朗辛一派胡言的说道，但是葛瑞福斯国王显然是来了兴趣。

对于这个说法，他自己在自己的心里暗暗一笑，没错，他似乎已经猜到了哈基姆苏丹的来意了。

“最大的势力就是吞并了斯瓦迪亚王国的诺德王国，我的国王虽然远在南方，但是他还是对大陆上面的局势还是了如指掌，哈基姆苏丹知道诺德王国必然会成为下一个对罗多克王国的威胁。”弗朗辛继续以他那诱人的声音的说道，虽然她的声音当中还是有那么几分冰冷。但是依然让在场的人都想要看一看她的容貌。

“嗯，是的，这要是诺德王国像斯瓦迪亚王国一样过来侵略我的国家的话，那么他们和当初的斯瓦迪亚王国有什么不同？我必须要小心的防范。”葛瑞福斯国王似乎是在自言自语，但是在实际上面，他根本就是在对自己的手下说话，这就是为了引起他的手下们的注意。

但是就是这样的话，还是有着一群年轻的领主没有说话，对于他们来说，这根本就是天方夜谭，毕竟当初的时候，他们还是自己的作战盟友，但是到了现在，怎么就成了自己的敌人？

葛瑞福斯国王在看见了自己的这些年轻的领主，那些疑惑不定的目光之后，他就摇了摇头，感叹了一句，他们果真是太简单了，他们还是太年轻了，如果说他们再成熟一点的话，他们就会知道这些事情原本就是应该发生的。

人心的险恶在这个时候就爆发的一览无遗。

昔日的盟友在下一秒的时候就会变成一个敌人，这就是这一片大陆上形成的规则。

“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.
