"What is the situation like in the Kutu Royal City?"
The army quickly advanced under the heavy rain.
Within a tent, a middle-aged man turned and looked at the official in front of him as he asked.
The middle-aged man looked quite unique. He had a long and narrow face and was not handsome, but he gave off a cold and eerie aura that could make one shiver.
His expression was cold as he looked at the official below.
This was Lanlod, the leader of the southern Green family and the ruler of the Green territory.
He was the one who started the southern lords' rebellion.
Now, he had become the leader of the southern rebel army in name, and he led the rebel army towards the Kutu Royal City.
However, only now did they find that after a few months, the situation in the Kutu Royal City was completely different from what they remembered.
"We don't know the exact situation yet."
The envoy looked quite helpless, "A few months ago, we lost contact with the Kutu Royal City. We only know that Count Narda from Narda has gone to the Kutu Royal City and has taken control of the Kutu Royal City.
"Now, we can't send any information out of the Kutu Royal City."
He looked quite helpless as he spoke.
Back when Chen Heng had entered the Kutu Royal City, the nobles who had connections with Lanlod had all fallen under Chen Heng's control. Even though they were not suppressed, they were under Chen Heng's surveillance, and if they did anything out of the ordinary, they would be suppressed.
Under such circumstances, even if those people were on Lanlod's side, they did not dare to send him any information.
After losing these people's help, Lanlod naturally lost his spies and his information on the Kutu Royal City.
Hearing this and understanding the current situation, Lanlod instinctively frowned.
Losing his source of information was a very dangerous sign.
This meant that Chen Heng's control over the Kutu Royal City had reached a whole new level.
This was a very troublesome opponent.
Instinctively, Lanlod thought to himself.
With the reputation of the royal family's Knight, even he did not dare to underestimate Count Narda.
If possible, he did not want to go against Count Narda.
However, the others did not think this way.
"Sir, please give your orders."
Below, someone coldly laughed, "If we can destroy the Kutu Royal City, this city will belong to us."
The Kutu Royal City was the royal city of the Kutu Principality, and it contained most of the Kutu Principality's wealth and resources.
As long as they could destroy this city and plunder it, it would be enough to fill their stomachs and make a fortune.
At this moment, many people were thinking the same thing.
In fact, they had done this many times before.
Wasn't that the reason why they had followed Lanlod and rebelled together with him?
As the Royal City of the Kutu Royal City, its wealth was unimaginable, and just a bit of it would be enough to satisfy anyone.
Looking at his allies, Lanlod frowned but did not reprimand them. He only shook his head and calmly said, "Earl Nardo is not easy to deal with."
"What are you afraid of?"
Someone said, "With our strength, no matter who it is, they won't be a match for us."
"Not bad."
Below, a group of people chimed in.
It had to be said that by now, the southern rebel army was a massive existence.
The armies of the lords, as well as the serfs that they had captured along the way, had a total of forty to fifty thousand people.
No one could compare to such a massive army. Even when the royal family was at its peak, it did not have so many soldiers.
With such a massive army, their confidence swelled, and they were confident that no one would be a match for them.
However, looking at them and listening to their words, Lanlod could not help but frown.
Indeed, with their current military strength, even Earl Nardo would not be a match for them.
However, if the other side insisted on defending the Kutu Royal City, with their situation, they might not be able to take down the Kutu Royal City.
He was well aware of the quality of his fifty thousand men.
Even though they had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, this massive army belonged to different rulers, and they all had their own thoughts.
If it was a battle in the open, it would be fine, but if they attacked a city, as time went on, problems would arise.
Moreover, logistics was a massive problem.
An army of 50,000 soldiers expended a massive amount of resources, and it could be said that they expended a shocking amount of resources every day.
If this dragged on for too long, before they could take down the Kutu Royal City, they would collapse.
These were all problems.
Attacking a city was definitely not a good choice.
However, now that things had come to this, there was nothing Lanlod could do.
They had finally reached the Kutu Royal City, and if they left without doing anything, it would be too much of a pity. Moreover, they would not be able to give an explanation to the nobles below.
As they traveled to the Kutu Royal City, the nobles below had been able to persist because they desired the Kutu Royal City's wealth.
If they left without doing anything, they would definitely make many nobles displeased.
As such, Lanlod sent out an envoy to the Kutu Royal City to negotiate with Earl Nardo.
Within the Kutu Royal City, after Chen Heng received Lanlod's letter, he only smiled.
"What is it?"
Beside him, looking at Chen Heng, who had suddenly smiled, Carey felt quite confused.
"Lanlod sent someone to deliver this letter."
Chen Heng smiled as he handed the letter to Carey, "He said that as long as I'm willing to lead my army out of the Kutu Royal City, he's willing to give me the entire northern side, as well as a large portion of the royal family's land, and make me the ruler of that region.
"That sounds quite good."
Hearing this, Carey could not help but smile, "It's just that it seems a bit unnecessary."
"That's right."
Chen Heng also smiled, "The northern side is my territory, and as for the royal family's land, it's all under my control.
"This so-called bestowment is to bestow upon me everything I have right now."
He can't take out anything else. "
Carey shook his head as he said, "Right now, his situation is much worse than ours.
"With 50,000 soldiers guarding outside, the expenditure every day is a shocking figure.
If he doesn't quickly end this battle, this army will quickly fall apart. "
"That's right."
Chen Heng nodded.
Because he had long since anticipated this situation, Chen Heng had forced all of the residents near the Kutu Royal City to relocate, leaving behind only ruins for the rebel army.
Even if Lanlod wanted to rely on robbing to maintain his army, he could not do anything about it.
Even though Chen Heng also needed logistics, he had many more people than Lanlod, and he occupied the Kutu Royal City, so he could obtain food and resources from the Kutu Royal City.
Comparatively speaking, even though his situation was just as difficult, there would not be any problems with logistics in the short term.
However, Lanlod was not so lucky.
It could be said that if they spent a few more months outside the Kutu Royal City, Lanlod would not be able to hold on, and his army would collapse.
"How should we reply?"
Carey asked as he looked at Chen Heng.
"Use Her Majesty's name to reprimand him for his rebellious behavior and have him immediately leave the Kutu Royal City and return to his territory."
