In the palace hall of the Kingdom of Everwinter, the fire in the fireplace was already burning.
Compared to Graycastle where the four seasons were distinct, the summer here was particularly short, and the autumn was more like a warning of the coming winter. Even before changing into light clothes, the cold wind would quietly come again.
Garcia Wimbledon, wearing a fox fur coat, sat on the throne, listening to the complaints and demands of the nobles.
She did not like this palace, the pillars, walls and floor were all made of snow-white stone, each piece polished smooth and translucent, looking like solid ice. Although two layers of velvet cushions were added to the seat, she could still feel the biting cold of the cold iron chair.
The damned house looks like it's made of ice, she thought crossly. When the situation stabilized, the first thing to do was to smash all the walls, and then re-lay them with dark brown granite slabs.
"Your Majesty, I hope you can seek justice for me …"
A noble said with a sad face.
This guy had talked a lot before, but in fact, it could be clearly explained in a few words. It was nothing more than a public trial of some evil nobles after the church occupied the Kingdom, presided over by Bishop Heather. Most of the nobles were hanged, but this guy was lucky, he was only sentenced to confiscation of his property and equally distributed to the victims.
"I can understand your request, private property cannot be plundered," Garcia pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "But the specific amount is difficult to define. How about this, if you can provide financial statements for the past five years, I can take a part of the seized property as compensation. "
"But, the mob looted my house, I'm afraid these records …"
"Then I can only according to the published notice, according to the standard of the title of nobility." Garcia interrupted, "Look around you, they are all nobles who have been looted. If I give you more, the others will get less. What do you think? "
"That's right, who knows if the number you reported is true or not …"
"Why are you still so long-winded, Sir Halon, those Golden Dragon don't belong to you."
"It's good enough that you have a share. Look at your accomplices. They can only go to the Divine Kingdom to ask for compensation."
Seeing that the surrounding nobles were glaring at him, he had no choice but to bow and salute timidly. "Then we'll distribute them according to your standard. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Very good." Garcia smiled. "Next."
"Greetings, Your Majesty." A white-haired old man walked out of the crowd and put his hand on his chest respectfully. The silver heron emblem on his chest was shining brightly.
"Marquis Bord, I remember that your territory was not attacked by the church's thugs."
"Yes," he nodded. "It's not that they don't want to, but they can't. The Snow Ridge is easy to defend and hard to attack. My Knight blocked the Thugs' invasion. However, my son wasn't so lucky. On the day of the riot, he was on duty in the palace. In order to protect the former queen, not only was he killed by the believers, but his corpse was also hung on the city gate. It was only when you arrived at the Kingdom of Everwinter that he was freed from his humiliation. "
"What a tragic story." Garcia pretended to be sad and sighed. "So, what do you need me to do?"
"The person who killed him is called the Butcher. Now, he has become the leader of the remaining rebels. They are hiding in the Impassable Mountain Range in the north. I want to avenge my son, "the Marquis calmly stated.
"But I don't have many troops under me. Apart from patrolling, guarding the city wall and the granary, it's difficult for me to spare manpower to search for hundreds of exiled thugs in the wilderness." She shook her head and expressed her regret. "Once winter comes, the mountains will be blocked by snow. They won't get any supplies and will freeze to death sooner or later. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Only by killing the murderers can I find peace, Your Majesty. I don't need to trouble you to send warriors to search for the rebels. There are many natural caves at the foot of the mountain. They must be hiding there. However, most of the entrances to the caves are very narrow. If they are blocked with stones, even a Knight would find it difficult to break in. I hope you can provide me with the kind of alchemy item that can blow up the city gate. I will do the rest myself. "
He wanted snow powder. Garcia frowned. Snow powder was very powerful, and it was a trump card that could change the situation of a battle. She could never let it spread out.
She was just about to refuse when the Marquis continued, "If you can agree to my request, I am willing to return to the palace and serve you. The Silverheron Family will also fully support you in taking over the Kingdom of Everwinter."
This sentence made Garcia slightly stunned. When the Church executed the Queen, they also killed a group of important ministers. Marquis Bodde was quite famous here. If he could become the Prime Minister and gather the rest of the nobles, to a certain extent, it could make up for the difficult administrative situation.
"This request is not too much," she thought for a moment and finally made a decision. "But I can't give you the alchemy powder directly. When you need it, I will send a special alchemist to help you blow up the cave."
After the end of the court meeting, Garcia returned to the back room. Ryan came to greet her and handed her a cup of hot fruit wine. "You have worked hard, Your Majesty. Those nobles have really turned to you. In this way, even if you don't rely on the Wolf King, you can still slowly swallow the whole Kingdom of Everwinter. "
"If there is no Church," the Queen shrugged.
The Church's action of depriving the nobles of their inheritance had pushed them all to her side. With the support of this group of people, coupled with the substantial weakening of the real power in the past, it would not be difficult for her to gain a foothold in King's City. However, there was still a long way to go before she wanted to control the Kingdom of Everwinter. The people here were greatly influenced by the Church. The Black Sail Warriors she had sent to sweep the churches in several other big cities were attacked by civilians and believers. Therefore, forming an alliance with the Kingdom of Wolfheart was extremely important. Not only could they resist the Church together, but they could also weaken the influence of the Church by sending people.
As for those stubborn commoners, he would just kill them all.
"That's right, the Wolf King just sent a messenger to deliver a letter to you," Ryan took out an envelope from his bosom, "Because you were dealing with government affairs at the time, I did not want to disturb you."
Garcia opened the envelope, took out the letter and opened it, her expression became dignified.
"Is it bad news?"
"The Church has once again sent troops," she said in a low voice, "They are setting off by land towards the Wolfheart City, and have already broken through several temporary lines of defense."
"What?" Ryan couldn't believe it, "The Months of the Demons is coming, do they intend to ignore the New Holy City?"
Garcia sat back at her desk, frowning in thought.
The Church would never let this matter go, but she didn't expect that the other side would come so soon. If she had waited until next spring to start the war, she would have been much more prepared. The enemy clearly didn't want to give her a chance to breathe. If she just sat back and ignored the Wolf King's request for help, once the Kingdom of Wolfheart was destroyed, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
However, this was also an opportunity.
If she could exhaust the Church's army to death in the Wolfheart City, when the demonic beasts invaded Hermes, the enemy would face a disaster of destruction.
Perhaps they would send more God's Punishment Army, but she also had a powerful weapon like snow powder, coupled with the difficult to extinguish Styx River black water, the demonic fire powder, as well as the towering walls of the Wolfheart City, she would certainly be able to consume a lot of the enemy's strength.
Thinking until here, Garcia opened her mouth, "Pass my order, let the Black Sail Warriors prepare for battle, this year we will spend the winter in the Wolfheart City." "Yes, your support is my greatest motivation."
