The old consul nodded and agreed with his subordinate's words. "Yes! Right now, right now, we are no longer satisfied with defeating our enemies. The only thing we want to surpass is ourselves. We want to build steel warships and sweep away all our enemies at sea. "
He was still looking at the sea. "My wife and children ate a full meal for the first time in their lives under the rule of the Kingdom of Northland. This made me feel extremely satisfied as a husband. Later on, our lives became better and better. Until now, we have delicious dinners every day. Our children can go to school and my wife can do the housework at ease at home … "
When an old man was immersed in his memories, he always liked to talk. Whenever something happened, everyone would be amazed at the terrifying speed of development of the Kingdom of Northland. Not only the old people, but the young people also could not believe that the new world they lived in every day was the world they lived in.
The old consul looked away from the sea. "When I saw the first fishing boat being pushed into the sea and the mast swaying among the seabirds, I thought of myself as a citizen of the Kingdom of Northland for the first time. I felt that I should dedicate my life to the Kingdom of Northland. For this fishing boat, I am willing to sell my life to His Majesty! "
His tone suddenly became firm as he said word by word, "Look, look at everything in front of you … This is heaven! Everyone I know is willing to die for His Majesty! Even if a dragon descends from the sky and burns everyone to death, I am willing to stand in front of His Majesty. Before I turn into ashes, no one can hurt His Majesty! "
In fact, his words represented the hearts of countless people in the Kingdom of Northland. People were willing to fight for the Kingdom of Northland. After experiencing exploitation and oppression, they cherished the happiness and freedom in front of them.
After being oppressed for thousands of years, the mortals finally experienced what it was like to be a human standing up. They were not willing to kneel down again, even if it meant sacrificing their lives for it. They would rather die than let their descendants return to the darkness they had experienced.
Amidst the old consul's stubborn tone, the fluttering sea breeze, and the cloudless blue sky, everything seemed to be responding to his belief.
After a long time, Isabella led the fleet back.
"Clang!" The heavy castle gate was pushed open from the outside. Isabella walked into the dimly lit hall with a gloomy face. There were guards behind her, and the sound of armor clashing against each other in the spacious hall was even more obvious.
"Father! The Elven Kingdom has gone too far! "A pleasant voice echoed in the hall. The flames swayed with the breeze blowing in from the door, illuminating the golden throne and the middle-aged man sitting on it.
"Isabella! My dear darling! How about this time? " The man sitting on the throne had a faint smile on his face as he asked softly.
"Father! The Elven Kingdom should at least give us an explanation this time, right? " Isabella gnashed her teeth in hatred when she mentioned this matter. She investigated along the way and all she saw were tragedies in the human world.
"What kind of explanation? We are mortals, Isabella … The strong don't need to give any explanation to the weak. "King Gravel of the Kingdom of Northland leaned on his throne and said to his daughter.
A trace of unwillingness flashed across Isabella's face, and she paused.
"That's right, after you left, I received news from another direction." Gravel nodded and said to his daughter, "Let's just forget about this matter."
After hearing this news, Princess Isabella Of Denmark was stunned for a moment. Then, her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at her father, "That's impossible!"
At this point, she paused. The people of the Empire seemed to be up to something recently.
"How … How is this possible …" Isabella held onto the sword at her waist and subconsciously staggered a step. She frowned and pondered for a few seconds before looking up at Gravel. "Is there any other news that I don't know?" She asked Gravel, who was sitting on the throne.
"There is too much news that you don't know. For example, the Kingdom of Haruz declared war on the German Empire. They took down all the border castles without shedding a drop of blood and captured Rickedin Castle in one go."
"I know that." Isabella replied with some disapproval. When this news reached the Kingdom of Northland, Isabella was still in Byron Bay in the Northland. Of course, she heard about this war. At that time, she was still worried that the Empire would tear the fish apart.
At that time, the Northland was also prepared for war. Tens of thousands of elite troops had already been sent to the border area to prevent the German Empire from suddenly changing their target and attacking the Kingdom of Northland.
However, the crisis was resolved soon after. On one hand, from a strategic point of view, the Kingdom of Northland would not provoke the Kingdom of Northland after establishing a strong enemy like the Derman.
On the other hand, the news that the German Empire's main forces continued to move south was confirmed. Therefore, the Northland side could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At the very beginning, when the main forces of the German Empire continued to move south, King Gravel of the Kingdom of Northland had considered the possibility of sneak attacking Blackstone Castle to take advantage of the situation.
But in the end, this plan was put on hold because of insufficient preparation. The Kingdom of Northland missed the best opportunity, or rather, escaped a disaster, and was still at peace with their neighbor, the German Empire, until today.
"And according to intelligence, the enemy's casualties were very low, almost negligible." King Gravel ignored his daughter's words and continued.
"What? The Kingdom of Haruz, with less than 100,000 people, actually managed to conquer so many places in one go? "Hearing this news, Isabella was a little uneasy. She also learned all kinds of commanding tactics. Of course, she knew how difficult it was to attack so many large cities in one go.
If they were not careful, they would be caught in a dilemma. The casualties of the troops would be high, and the war would be protracted. In the end, because of the heavy cost, it would lead to the collapse of a powerful country. In the past, sieges often evolved into a country's nightmare, but now it was different.
The siege of the Kingdom of Haruz seemed to be very easy. Not to mention the short time it took, even the casualties were pitifully low. This made Isabella a little uneasy. Could it be that the Kingdom of Haruz had some new weapons of war? Such a thought vaguely emerged in her heart.
"Not only that, an unknown general defeated tens of thousands of troops commanded by the Lord of Richdean Castle." As if deliberately teasing his daughter, His Majesty the King of Northland said another piece of shocking news.
