"Hurry up, don't think of slacking off! You bunch of lazy bums, you should be grateful. If it wasn't for the great North Wind Duchy, you would have starved to death in the wilderness! "A Kobold shouted at the other Kobolds and Goblins with a whip in his hand.
"You, yes, I'm talking to you. Don't slack off, or I'll cancel your food for today. Also, the Kobolds in your group will have their food reduced by half. Hurry up, this section of the wall must be completed before dinner, or else you won't have any food left!"
The Kobolds who were being reprimanded sped up their work when they heard that they wouldn't have any food to eat. Even the Kobold who had slacked off earlier did the same. If he completed the task today, he would at least get some leftovers. If he didn't, he would probably be beaten to death by the Kobolds in his group. This was not impossible. One had to know that it was normal for one or two Kobolds to die in the wilderness.
"Buttface, don't be so harsh. As long as they can complete 80% of the work, they'll be allowed to eat," a human supervisor beside him said with a smile.
"You're right, Lord Boer. You're too kind. Your glorious image is a role model for us to follow. No matter how hard we lowly Kobolds work, we can't compare to you." Buttface immediately turned into a bootlicker. His flattery made people blush.
"If you ask me, we should be stricter towards these Kobolds. Otherwise, they won't know how hard it is for them to work. If it wasn't for our North Wind Duchy, these Kobolds would have frozen to death when winter came! "
"The North Wind Duchy saved them. I'm guiding them to repay the debt of gratitude!"
Suhlen stood on a high ground and naturally noticed the situation not far away. The practice of using Kobolds and Goblins as supervisors was from the experience gained during the construction of the North Town. Compared to the humans, these Kobold and Goblin supervisors were very capable.
Compared to the humans, these Kobold and Goblin supervisors were more demanding. The construction progress was usually 15% to 20% faster. Of course, there was another advantage. This practice placed the humans in the position of arbitrators. The ones oppressing the Kobolds and Goblins were their own supervisors and had nothing to do with the humans. If the supervisors were too oppressive, the humans could remove the supervisor and slightly improve the treatment of the Kobolds and Goblins.
Then, they would continue to be oppressed and exploited. From the North Town to now, the humans were very familiar with this process.
"Your Excellency! Your Excellency! "A young man dressed as a messenger shouted and rushed to the construction site.
"Stop!" Just when he was ten meters away from Su Lun, two soldiers of the Formation Breaker stopped him.
"I have urgent news for you, Your Excellency!" After the messenger's of the messenger, the messenger was, the messenger's messenger, and the seal seal and the wax on it was undamaged... Only then did the messenger's of's's's of's pass. of's of's''s the messenger.... of the seal of the seal and wax of '' '''t't's..'t't.
........ '' ''s't of Of't''t... '''t't '' ''t't' '''t't '' ''t
'''t't ''t't' '''t '' '''t't '''s' '''t '' ''s ask..
"Got it." Suhlen turned and left the construction site with his men. He left a few people to pack up. The others followed Suhlen back to the North Town.
The letter didn't say too much. It only told Suhlen that something had happened in the Florentine ''s' ', and asked him to go back as soon as possible. Although the letter didn't explain exactly what had happened, Suhlen had some guesses in his heart.
The king of Florence was not young. When Suhlen was still in the south, he had heard that the king's' 'health was not very good. Now that he was told that something had happened in the''s' ', wasn't the reason obvious?
Could it be that the king knew he was about to pass away, and for the sake of a smooth transition of power, he deliberately asked Suhlen to support him? Suhlen pondered in his heart as he rode to the North Town.
It was already afternoon when he arrived at the North Town. Suhlen rushed all the way back. After entering the city, he went straight to the palace without delay.
Phyllis had been waiting anxiously in the palace for a long time. When she saw Suhlen coming back, she immediately threw herself into Suhlen's arms. She couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore.
"Suhlen, my father is seriously ill and in a coma!"
"Phyllis, don't worry too much. There are several bishops and pastors in the capital. They will help!" Suhlen comforted Phyllis as he patted her on the back.
In fact, even Su Lun himself didn't believe it. Although priests could heal injuries, they didn't have a good way to deal with birth, old age, illness, and death. King Henry's life should be coming to an end, and magic would basically be useless unless the gods intervened. Or rare treasures such as the Fountain of Youth or the Fountain of Life appeared. Otherwise, he could only die bit by bit.
"Suhlen, I want to go back and see my father and mother. Can you come with me?" Phyllis raised her head and said with tears in her eyes.
"It's okay. I'm here. We will go to the capital as soon as possible." Suhlen reached out and wiped away Phyllis's tears.
"Okay, thank you!"
Because they needed to go to the capital as soon as possible, Suhlen and Phyllis didn't bring too many people. There were Barbarian guards, Spear Guards, and human and half-elf archers. There were a total of 200 people. This time, only Suhlen and Phyllis went with them. Hathaway and Kris stayed in the North Town to take care of all kinds of things.
Originally, Suhlen planned to use the teleportation circle to go directly. However, he didn't have the coordinates of the capital of Florence. If he used the teleportation circle forcefully, there would be a big error. Therefore, he had to bring many guards with him on horseback.
It would take less than 20 days to go from the North Town to the capital of Florence. They didn't bring much supplies, and each of them rode two horses. Of course, they were fast. It took Phyllis more than a month to go from the capital to the North Town. Of course, if Suhlen and Phyllis rode the pegasus directly, it would probably take them one or two days to get there.
After arranging things in the North Wind Duchy, Suhlen set off with Phyllis. The 200 soldiers followed them and left the North Town. It wasn't difficult for Suhlen and the soldiers in the North Town to travel by force. With their physical fitness, they could still endure it. Suhlen was a little worried about Phyllis. Perhaps it was because she had awakened the bloodline of the Red Dragon. Although the journey was very tiring, she still persevered.
Just as Suhlen and the others were moving toward the capital of Florence, Marquis Savoy, who was far away in Calt, also received the news that King Henry was seriously ill. He knew more than Suhlen.
As someone who also had the right to inherit the kingdom and wanted to replace the Henry Family as the new royal family, Marquis Savoy paid more attention to the capital than anything else. Not only did he know that King Henry was seriously ill, but he also knew that the two princes were rubbing their hands together and preparing to kill each other.
"Henry is finally going to die. God is blessing the Savoy Family!" Marquis Savoy happily walked back and forth in the study. His excitement was indescribable. He took a few steps to the wine cabinet next to him, took down a bottle of precious Helen Wine, and poured himself a glass.
The bright red wine emitted a rich wine aroma. Savoy smelled it a little intoxicated. He then took a sip and lay down comfortably on the sofa next to him.
"This old fox must be regretting it to death." Savoy chuckled. "You were able to get Duke Northwind to support you last time. What can you do now that your two sons are fighting each other?"
"When both sides are injured, it will be the time for the Savoy Family to rise!"
"I really have to thank Duke Northwind. His potion made me a dozen years younger and made me a legend."
"Chaos, chaos. I will clean up the mess when the time comes. That will be the day when the Savoy Family replaces the Henry Family as the new royal family of the kingdom."
Knock, knock, knock. A series of knocks on the door interrupted Marquis Savoy's reverie.
"Come in," Marquis Savoy said in a good mood.
"Father, the army has gathered and is on standby," Vader said respectfully.
"You've done well. This is the best opportunity for the House of Savoy. Once we move into the capital and replace the Henry Family, you will be the first heir of the Kingdom of Florence!" The Marquis of Savoy said excitedly.
Vader was also very excited when he heard his father's words. With his father's words, he didn't have to worry about his brothers fighting for the throne. However, he couldn't let his guard down. It would be best if he could find an opportunity to send his brothers away. Only then would he be absolutely safe.
However, Vader didn't realize that his father, Marquis Savoy, had successfully become a legendary warrior. According to the lifespan of a legendary master, although a warrior's lifespan wasn't as long as a spellcaster's, it was still 200 years. In other words, as long as he wasn't killed, he could sit on the throne for 150 years.
As the heir of the Marquis of Savoy, Vader could only wait patiently for 150 years. No, he couldn't wait that long. Vader was just a warrior. He might not even be able to endure 50 years, let alone 150 years.
How could there be a crown prince who could live for 150 years? In a world of 150 years, Vader's grandson's grandson would be 40 years old by then, and Vader would only be a pile of bones.
In his excitement, Vader didn't realize that even if the Savoy Family replaced the Henry Family as the royal family, he would never be able to become king.
