Alfalfa City was located at the southernmost tip of the half-elf kingdom.
The Crystal River and the Raging Water River intersected here, forming a Y-shape that divided the city into three areas. It was shaped like a three-leaf clover, hence the name Alfalfa City.
The importance of Alfalfa City's geographical location was needless to say, but the strange thing was that this city was a typical "Three Ungoverned" area.
In fact, if one thought about it carefully, such a situation was not difficult to understand.
It was precisely because its geographical location was too important that although the Northern Frontier and the Eastern Region wanted to bring it under their rule, they were worried about provoking the other party. Therefore, they tacitly threw it to the half-elf kingdom as a neutral buffer area that no one could touch.
For the half-elf kingdom, it was a hot potato that they did not dare to take care of.
As a result, Alfalfa City was particularly awkward.
There was no lord, no city defense army, and no order.
This place gradually became a paradise for adventurers, a gathering place for refugees, and a carnival for anarchists.
Strength became the only pass in Alfalfa City.
However, Alfalfa City was suddenly quiet today.
Even some of the big shots with some influence were obediently dormant. At the same time, they sternly warned their subordinates not to cause trouble for the next few days.
This was because several armies had suddenly entered the city, including the famous Black Cavalry!
Although there were a lot of lawless bandits and murderers in Alfalfa City, they were at most cockroaches and rats in the shadows. Once they saw a real lion or tiger, they still had to be careful and hide. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would be annihilated.
The most majestic building in the north of the city was the Radiance Church.
In such a chaotic city, the Radiance Church was one of the few peaceful places.
Don't think that evil people did not have faith. In fact, it was the opposite. People who licked blood from their blades every day and did not know when they would die on the streets needed spiritual sustenance more so that they would not go crazy.
When Colin walked into the main hall of the church, he saw the figure that had always been on his mind — Queen Aisha.
The queen was standing in front of the statue of the Radiance God with her head lowered and eyes closed, praying devoutly.
Slightly quickening his pace, Colin came to the side of Queen Aisha.
After not seeing her for half a year, Queen Aisha's belly was already bulging.
A faintly discernible motherly aura emanated from her body. Coupled with the noble and elegant aura of a queen, she appeared even more alluring.
Noticing Colin's arrival, Queen Aisha ended her prayers, turned her head, and revealed a charming smile.
"I thought you would be late."
"Knowing that you were waiting for me, of course I would travel day and night! Moreover, don't underestimate the speed of the Black Cavalry. "
Colin smiled as he stepped forward and carefully pulled Queen Aisha into his embrace. He then captured her tender red lips and tasted the fragrance that he hadn't tasted in a long time.
After some tenderness, Queen Aisha leaned on Colin's chest and asked in a lazy tone, "You have an appointment with the Eastern Region in three days, right?"
"Yes, I have sent a messenger to the other side of the river to discuss the exchange of prisoners."
Colin held Queen Aisha's waist with one hand and stroked her belly with the other, but it didn't take long before he began to climb up.
Queen Aisha snorted, grabbed Colin's mischievous hand, and said, "This is a church!"
Colin looked down at the snow-white cleavage, his heart was restless, but he had to be honest and asked.
"Is there any problem with the food production of the Half-elven Kingdom this year? This round of turmoil has delayed the spring plowing on the Northern Frontier. It is estimated that the famine will continue or even worsen. So, I need your help. "
"No problem." Queen Aisha said confidently, "At the beginning of the year, I deliberately issued a farming order and increased the efforts of the spring plowing. If nothing unexpected happens, this autumn will be a bumper harvest."
"That's good!" Colin let out a sigh of relief, "As long as we can last through this year, the Northern Frontier will be able to catch a breather, and everything will slowly get back on track."
"But, when you send people to buy food this autumn, it's best to bring the army." Queen Aisha's eyes flashed with a hint of sternness.
"What's wrong? Is someone not being honest? "
"Yes. At the end of last year, you forcefully bought food from Silvermoon City at a low price to aid the Northern Frontier. This has already made many Half-elven merchants and nobles unhappy. If it happens again this year, I'm afraid that some people will overestimate themselves and do something stupid. "
Colin narrowed his eyes, and his tone became serious, "I understand. After I go back this time, I will let Duke Modywin lead the Silvermoon Guard back to the Half-elven Kingdom to help you stabilize the situation in the country."
Queen Aisha shook her head gently and said, "There's no rush. I can still stabilize the situation in the Half-elven Kingdom. Leave the Silvermoon Guard at the Northern Frontier, you need it more. After the autumn harvest, it won't be too late to let Duke Modywin come back. "
Although Colin was still a little worried, he didn't want to refuse Queen Aisha's good intentions. He also didn't want her to think that he doubted her ability to control the situation in the country.
"Alright. If there are any changes in the situation in Silvermoon City, contact me immediately. "
"Yes."
After a moment of silence, Queen Aisha opened her mouth again, "Recently, the situation in Alfalfa City has been a little strange."
Colin didn't mind, and laughed casually, "The regular army has entered the city. Those cockroaches and rats in the shadows have of course hidden."
"No, that's not what I meant." Queen Aisha's tone became serious, "Since the beginning of the year, a force called the 'Alfalfa Brotherhood' suddenly rose up in the city. They swept away all the major forces in the city at an extremely fast speed, and have already taken control of Alfalfa City."
"Oh?" Colin became serious, "Who is the leader of this Alfalfa Brotherhood? Do you know?"
"It's a fifth-rank warrior called Capone. He was wanted by the Eastern Region because he resisted the lord's conscription order, and later fled to Alfalfa City.
Although his martial strength is outstanding, he didn't mix well in Alfalfa City, a place where dragons and snakes mix together. Until the beginning of this year, he suddenly began to form his own force, and expanded it at an extremely fast speed. Now, he has almost become the nominal master of this city. "
"Someone is supporting him from behind, right?" Colin guessed.
"I think so too. Moreover, I suspect that the Eastern Region is supporting Capone and the Alfalfa Brotherhood."
"Eastern Region … Hehe, it seems that they aren't honest." Colin's gaze became dangerous.
"Yes. However, you don't have to worry too much.
After you annihilated the Pegasus Legion in Silvermoon City, the House of Saint Prospero lost its most elite troops. They certainly won't be able to touch the Northern Frontier in a short period of time. Using this kind of underhanded method to try to take control of Alfalfa City, they are worried that the Northern Frontier will establish a navy in Silvermoon City in the future and go down the Crystal River. "
Colin thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Alfalfa City can't fall into the hands of the Eastern Region!"
Queen Aisha raised her head, looked at Colin, and said, "It's not good to have a conflict with the Eastern Region at this time, right?"
Colin shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Since the Eastern Region chose to use this kind of underhanded method to take over Alfalfa City, they are also worried about having a direct conflict with the Northern Frontier.
Therefore, it can be seen from this that the Eastern Region is also weak. "
"Then what are you going to do? Take advantage of the Black Cavalry in the city and directly destroy the Alfalfa Brotherhood? "
Colin stroked Queen Aisha's soft lower abdomen and said, "No, it's better not to use military power to directly interfere. I am also worried that the Eastern Region will be forced into a corner. If they are desperate and start another war in Alfalfa City, that would not be good.
How about this, Alfalfa City is still under the rule of the half-elf kingdom. In the name of the half-elf queen, appoint a city lord of Alfalfa City!
Let him unite the forces in the city that are unwilling to submit to the Alfalfa Brotherhood and fight against them.
In short, don't let Alfalfa City completely fall into the hands of the Eastern Region. In the future, when the Northern Frontier has recovered, they will have an excuse to intervene. "
Queen Aisha thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I will go and find a suitable candidate."
"Okay. If the city lord fails and is killed by Capone, you can continue to appoint a new city lord. But never send a regular army into Alfalfa City.
Let the jackals and wolves in the city tear each other apart and make it difficult for the Alfalfa Brotherhood to unify the forces in the city. "
"I understand. There are many lawless and vicious people in Alfalfa City. It won't be difficult to find an opponent for Capone. It will be even easier to make this place chaotic. "
Colin saw that Queen Aisha understood his intentions so quickly and kissed her on the forehead with approval.
Queen Aisha smiled and suggested, "There is a hot spring behind the church. Do you want to soak in it?"
"Okay!"
Colin certainly wouldn't refuse and immediately picked up Queen Aisha.
Amidst the other's exclamation, he strode outside.
