Let's not talk about the bloody battle between Tang En and Fiona for now. At this moment, our camera moved to the west of Prandal.
To the south of the Ryan Empire and to the north of the Ambris Mountains, there existed the most exclusive and closed country in the world.
The Gris Kingdom.
A long, long time ago, the Gris Kingdom was located in the territory of the Barbarians. The Barbarians were humans, but their living habits were similar to the Beastmen. Their level of civilization was less advanced than the humans in the east, and many people called them Barbarians.
However, it was precisely because of the harsh environment and the difficulties of life that they had been honed into the strongest human warriors.
Later, when Chaos invaded, the Irus Empire unified the human race, bringing civilization to the Gris Kingdom. In just a few hundred years, the culture here was constantly interacting with the outside world, and the people of Gris Kingdom were not much different from the people of other territories.
If there was a difference, it might be because of the warlike nature that was carved into their bones.
Later, as the Irus Empire weakened, the Gris Kingdom, Solant Kingdom, and Ronitant Kingdom took the lead to split the Irus Empire, dividing up the large territory. Solant Kingdom relied on the most fertile and largest territory to reap the most benefits, and directly became the most powerful country in Prandal.
Ronitant Kingdom was born with insufficient resources, so in the end, he could only expand his territory by a little. After incorporating the Solagur Mountains into his territory, he settled down and became an honest businessman, beginning to seek development.
And the Gris Family? They wanted to take back the land that the Barbarians deserved, and they fought for it, and they succeeded.
The Gris Kingdom became the Gris Kingdom. From east to west, the territory included the Western Wilderness, Soul Eating Swamp, Shadowy Forest, Blood Raven Mountains, Howling Plateau, and other regions. Starting from the Western Wilderness and continuing to the west, after passing through the dangerous Soul Eating Swamp, the terrain began to rise. After passing through or bypassing the Soul Eating Swamp, there was the extremely large Shadowy Forest. Due to the terrain, this forest was shrouded in the shadow of the Blood Raven Mountains all year round, and all kinds of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts lived here. Even the paths opened up by adventurers were often very dangerous.
After passing through the Shadowy Forest, there was an endless stretch of the Blood Raven Mountains. This mountain range was independent of the Ambris Mountains, and formed a chain of its own. Large numbers of magical beasts lived in the mountains, and the most conspicuous of them were the Blood Ravens that lived in flocks. These magical beasts were not high ranked, and were generally only grade one to grade three, but some of the leaders of the flocks could reach grade five or six. Moreover, these magical beasts were adept at using shadow and blood magic, and were very dangerous enemies for both merchants and adventurers.
The Ambris Mountains and the Blood Raven Mountains were natural enemies, blocking the path from the north and south. If one wanted to enter the Howling Plateau and reach the Gris Kingdom, they could only go through the middle gate. After going through untold hardships and passing through the Blood Raven Mountains, the path behind was not smooth. The climate of the Howling Plateau was very unfriendly to outsiders. The temperature difference between day and night was huge, and there were often people who vomited and had diarrhea, feeling weak all over, and even fainting. There were even people who died from these abnormal reactions — actually, it was altitude sickness.
It was said that the secret medicine that allowed ordinary people to move freely on the Howling Plateau was in the hands of the Gris Family, and it was a secret that was not passed on. Only the finished products circulated on the market, and the sale of this medicine was also a major source of income for the Gris Family.
Due to the existence of altitude sickness, the Howling Plateau was a natural barrier that could stop the advance of countless armies. However, the Gris Family, including the barbarians who had lived here for generations, could move freely, and their fighting strength was bursting, so conquering this place was incomparably difficult.
The capital of the Gris Kingdom, Bloody Rock City, was located in the Bloody Plains in the heart of the Howling Plateau.
Stanley Gris even boasted that Bloody Rock City was an undefeated city.
Klein Solant had once made a detailed strategic plan for how to conquer the Gris Kingdom, and even secretly bribed many merchants to collect large amounts of that secret medicine so that they could use it to attack Gris. In the end, he was unable to put it into practice until his death, and that strategic plan ended up in Aurelia's hands, and basically became a pile of waste paper.
At this moment, the events in the east of the continent had already reached Stanley's ears.
"Hahahaha —"
On the throne, the burly Stanley laughed maniacally, "Klein, oh Klein, to think that I treated him as a great enemy, he actually lost just like that! Dead! Trash! As expected of a piece of trash! "
The ministers in front also had mocking smiles on their faces, "Klein, that arrogant and ignorant fellow, how could he be worthy of being His Majesty's enemy? His Majesty is the true emperor who reigns over the world!"
These ministers were all burly men, and all of them looked like brute men who had grown muscles for brains. They could not differentiate between civil and military officials, or rather, there was no such thing as civil officials in the Gris Kingdom.
Before Solant's fall, Stanley had always treated Solant as an imaginary enemy, and even the Ryan Empire was not in his eyes. Those orcs were too easily satisfied, and did not deserve to be his enemy at all.
But who would have thought that the Ryan Empire was still alive and well, and was even getting better, while the Solant Kingdom was one step ahead of them, and was directly taken over by the Irus Empire!
After Stanley finished laughing, he said, "This Tang En is a bit interesting. Do you remember that one of you collected information on him before? Bring it to me. "
"Your Majesty, it's Duke Felton."
"Where's Felton?"
"He didn't discuss politics today, but he's already handed over the information to the palace archives …"
"Pass down the order, bring me Tang En's information."
Soon, Tang En's information was placed in front of Stanley. Although this information was only some information that everyone knew, it was very detailed, and even detailed Tang En's hobbies, character analysis, and so on. The thought that this information was actually compiled by a group of burly men gave him a subtle feeling.
"Ha, at first glance, he's just a lucky guy …"
Stanley carefully flipped through the information on Tang En, and the expression on his face was quite strange. "… But can an ordinary lucky guy really establish such a powerful chamber of commerce as the Datang Chamber of Commerce?"
"Your Majesty, the main person in charge of the Datang Chamber of Commerce is Fiona Golden Rose, the last descendant of the Golden Rose family. If the information is correct, Fiona should be his woman."
"The last descendant of the Golden Rose family … Ha, those idiots of the Spade family didn't know to eliminate the root of the problem."
Stanley sneered. "Now they've tasted the bitter fruit."
"It can be said that the Spade family was indirectly destroyed by Fiona, but there are still many doubts and insufficient information."
"There's no need to care about a family that has already been destroyed. What I care about is this Tang En."
Stanley waved the information in his hand. "You don't really think that he's just a lucky guy, do you?"
"…"
"A lucky person who was able to obtain a piece of land from Victor?"
"A lucky guy who can destroy the plan of the Dark Serpent, turn the tide, marry Queen Olina first under the covetous eyes of countless people, and even destroy the Dark Serpent?"
"A lucky guy who can jump from an insignificant lord to the Regent of the Irus Empire in just one year, inherit the throne, and convince everyone in the end?"
"A lucky guy who can make the City of Silver, the Radiant Church, and even the Dragons work together to completely destroy Lothamar?"
"A lucky guy who can use the opportunity of destroying Lothamar to spread unfavorable news about Klein and instigate the three lords of Lannister, Joyce, and Barry to rebel together. In the end, Klein and the three lords all died, and he took the opportunity to conquer Solant. Do you think that's just luck?"
"Stupid! It's really too stupid! "
Stanley sneered and said, "You've all been fooled by him!"
"If he's really just an ordinary lucky guy, would he be qualified to marry Queen Olina? According to the information, Princess Aurelia has a close relationship with him! His Majesty Victor also favors him a lot! "
"The Dark Serpent and the Chaos religion have been wreaking havoc for hundreds of years. When they were about to rise again, their plans were destroyed by him, and in the end, they were destroyed by him!"
"Rothermaar was only a wedge, but he seized this opportunity and directly used the three domain lords to raise the banner of rebellion. In the end, they died in battle, and he reaped the fruits of his labor. Is this all luck?"
"No! It can't be just luck! "
After Stanley finished his analysis, he asserted, "I even suspect that Victor's death was a trap set by him in order to obtain the throne of the Irus Empire! The Dark Serpent and the Chaos religion were only in his way, so he destroyed them! The three lords who rebelled might even have been killed by him in order to prevent any accidents from happening. After killing Klein, he killed the three lords himself, and then gave them the title of People's Hero to appease the people! "
"He's an out-and-out ambitious man! He's a man of action! "
"He's very cunning and ruthless!"
"From these interlocking plans, it can be seen that he will do anything to achieve his goal. His heart is black. He's definitely an ambitious man more ruthless than Klein!"
"Now that he's sitting on the throne, he must want to revive the Irus Empire and become the Emperor of this generation!"
"Now that Solant's great enemy has been eliminated, and the Ryan Empire and Ronicante have been tied up by him through trade, you can imagine that once he recovers, his next target will definitely be this King!"
"He's definitely targeting this King!"
"But this King won't give him the chance!"
Stanley suddenly stood up, his tiger-like eyes wide open, "Our Gris Kingdom will always belong to us Gris! No one can take this land away from us! "
"Gris! Roar!!! "
"Duke Toles!"
"Yes!"
"How's the excavation in the south?"
"It's been progressing steadily, Your Majesty."
The tall and burly Duke Toles said loudly, "The kobolds' digging ability is very strong. We'll definitely be able to find that place!"
"We must do it as soon as possible! I didn't hesitate to let the people starve and used up a large amount of food to bribe the kobolds. We can't waste it! "
Stanley said coldly, "That place is the key to our Gris' unification! We can't be careless! "
"Yes!"
