When Prague received the request for reinforcements from Fort Worth Glade, they didn't know what was going on.
The Commander-in-chief of Prague's army was General Pavlov, who was appointed by Queen Katarina. He had outstanding contributions and joined the army when Red Tsar Boris Bokhar ascended to the throne. He participated in all of the Red Tsar's wars and was hired by the Empire to assist Auster in clearing out the Orcs in the Dark Shadow Forest. He had outstanding military achievements.
Unlike the generals who were purged by Katarina, General Pavlov was an obedient general who did things by the book. He was appreciated by Katarina. After the Winter War, Pavlov's status was promoted. He was appointed as the Commander-in-chief of Prague's defense and General of Kislöw.
After receiving Vosglede's request for help, General Pavlov hurriedly gathered Poyer, the general, and the nobles of Prague for a meeting. Since he only received a verbal request for help, and the messenger left as soon as he was attacked, he didn't know how many barbarians came and how elite they were. The only thing he could tell General Pavlov was that Vosglede Fortress was surrounded by a Chaos army with a large number of cannons under the banner of Nurgle. He was asking for reinforcements.
General Pavlov was puzzled. Didn't the intelligence report say that the Barbarians were going to have a decisive battle with the Dark Elves? Why did they attack the South and surround Fort Worth Glade?
Naturally, the messenger wouldn't make a mistake. This general also knew that the northern barbarians had no logic and credibility. However, at this time, the representative of the State Duma sent by the Tsar reminded General Pavlov that Kislev's millennium celebration was in the midst of preparations, and the entire country was preparing for this major celebration. At this time, it was obviously very inappropriate to disturb Her Majesty Katarina with this news. As the general and general appointed by Her Majesty Katarina, you should think of a way to solve the problem yourself.
General Pavlov was very hesitant after hearing the words of the Duma representative. He also knew that Her Majesty Katarina attached great importance to this millennium celebration, but as a soldier, General Pavlov felt that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface. So he sent two waves of scouts to Vos Glade Fortress to investigate the situation while he waited in Prague.
After waiting for 24 hours, the scouts didn't return.
What no one knew was that Kislöw had wasted the precious time that the soldiers of Fort Worth Glade had sacrificed their lives.
After 24 hours of no response, Prague realized that the situation was a little strange.
General Pavlov made the second order that was deemed absolutely stupid and wrong after the fact. He didn't report this matter to the Kislöw palace before making a decision. Instead, he chose to transfer 5,000 soldiers from Prague's standing army and the nearby Ugor Tribe and Kislöw's garrison to support the garrison of Fort Worth Glade with a large number of firearms.
In fact, this reinforcements of five thousand were ambushed by the army of Chaos on their way to Vos Glade Fortress. Many soldiers were wiped out by the champion of Nurgle, Festus, before they could even put on their armor.
After a while, there was no news of the reinforcements. Only then did Prague realize that the situation seemed to be different from what they expected.
At the same time, 2514 of the Empire calendar, year 999 of the Kislöw calendar, October, Old World, Brittany.
While Prague's reinforcements were wiped out in the coniferous forest near Fort Worth Glade, Knight King Laing was on vacation in Angelang's manor. Of course, the king didn't stay idle at the same time. He moved his office to Angelang's garden villa.
Laing didn't have an omniscient view, nor did he have a full map view. He had no idea what was going on in Kislöw thousands of kilometers away. Knight King rode Grape around Angelang's manor in the afternoon and practiced with Angelang. After being beaten black and blue by Angelang, Laing also left a footprint on Angelang's forehead and cracked his gauntlets and pauldrons. He also burned Angelang's linen shirt and cloak into charcoal.
What made the Knight King's balls hurt was that his son actually clapped his hands and cheered when he saw his nose bleed after being beaten by Anglo, cheering for him, Uncle Anglo!
As a father, Laing was really unhappy. After the beating, he found an excuse to spank little Devenshire's butt. Then, he asked Olica to deliberately add a lot of green peppers that little Devenshire didn't like to eat for dinner. Devenshire couldn't stop screaming because of the spiciness.
Suria bent over laughing at this scene. The queen was really amused by Laing's childish side. In the end, Suria privately hinted little Devenshire to not do this in the future. It would hurt his father's fragile heart. Whether it's Uncle Angelang or Uncle Fulgen, or even his father, they are all his elders and should be treated equally. If you make father sad like this, quickly go and apologize to him.
The sturdy little Devenshire quickly apologized to Laing. Knight King immediately forgave his son's mistake and made his favorite finger-sucking chicken. This dish was invented by Fulgen's Ash Legion's Chief Political Officer. Now, Fulgen's Ash Legion's Chief Political Officer was famous throughout the old world. He gave up his previous name and changed his name to Harlan Sanders. Under the circumstances of being the Chief Political Officer of the Ash Legion, the 56-year-old Mrs. Kiesler invented the finger-sucking chicken and opened several branches in Brittany, the Empire, Estalia, and even Satusha.
"He used fried chicken to change the world."
— Emperor Karl-franz's affirmation (Thumbs up)
"How's the progress in St. Giles?" After dinner, under the autumn stars, in the open-air courtyard of Angelang's manor, Angelang asked one of the few topics that interested him.
"St. Giles' soul and the Phoenix Mantra Scroll have been sent to the Southern Star Pyramid of Hesotah in the Luscia Isthmus. The Demon Toad Lord Mazda Moody will use the power of the ancient saint to help St. Giles expel the curse that troubles him." Laing frowned and said, "Brother Fulgen said this process will take a long time. It will take at least four seasons to heal. When the cycle is over, the leaked power will attract powerful enemies. It could be chaos, rat people, dark elves, or even high elves who want to know the secret."
"Of course," Angelang said. "Someone will try to steal St. Giles' soul. I remember before the siege of Tara, Kahn found me. He told me Khorne's will. Khorne needed an angel. If it was necessary, he could do anything. If it was necessary, he could abandon anyone."
"So, Khorne got the Red Angel," Laing mocked.
"Hey, I am not the angel Khorne wants." Angelang shook his head. An Gelang shook his head. The World Eater geno prototype had a grass seed in its mouth. "I am fine now. This is fine. I have a farm, family, and leisure. I will not do anything for my father anymore. That An Gelang died in Nukailia and Amigi Dodon. Ryan, I am telling you, if you have the same idea one day, I will support you, even if …"
"Brother, you have been through a lot. You should rest." Sulia recalled the recent history that Leon had told her. As Leon had been rather busy recently, he had only recently told Sulia about how Angren had completely turned into a moron and a deep iceberg. Angren had been playing the law of eleven draws with his own children all day long. Emperor had sent Rus to fight with Angren. Angren had won the duel but lost the battle. Wolf King Rus had won the battle but lost the duel. Everyone felt that they had won in the end and retreated, but the problem had not been solved at all.
After chatting for a while, Angelang told Han Sen that he wanted to check out his pigpen. Recently, one of the pigs in the pigpen had mutated. It had grown two heads. Angelang wanted to check out what was going on. According to the King's royal guards, it was just a normal mutation.
The two-headed pig was taken away by the royal guards. They prayed in the name of the King. There was no sign of it rotting.
Then, it was killed and skinned. It became a midnight snack for many people.
Little Devenhill also said that he wanted to take a look. Only Laing, Suria, and Olica, who was standing behind Laing, were left in the open-air courtyard.
"Laing, whose turn is it tonight? If I remember correctly, it is Olica's turn. "Suria raised her wine glass and said casually.
"Yes, it is." Laing's expression did not change. Recently, his schedule had been a little messy. Generally, it was the Lake Fairy, Suria, Olica, and Teresa. Among them, the Lake Fairy had always appeared with Suria. Moreover, the Goddess seemed to be busy with something recently. She rarely appeared, so his schedule was a little messy.
As for Morgiana, she had been busy with the autumn harvest recently. The church's tithes were the most important source of income for the Church of the Lake Nymph. As far as Ryan knew, because of this year's harvest, the church's tithes had changed from 10% to 15%, but the income had increased instead of decreasing.
"Then I'll go take a look at Catherine." Suria nodded.
Recently, Catherine had also moved into Angran Manor with her child, Durney. Veronica's female apprentice was extremely proud. She held her child in her arms all day long and showed off to everyone. Countless witches were envious of her good luck.
For spellcasters, pregnancy was a very, very difficult thing. Due to the excessive magic elements in their bodies, spellcasters rarely had children. Even if they wanted to, it was very difficult. For example, Veronica and Teresa had been with Laing for a long time, but there was no news about them at all.
However, the Holy Grail Knights did have an advantage in this aspect. As knights blessed and strengthened by the Goddess, their little tadpoles were more vigorous and had a certain degree of magic resistance compared to ordinary people.
The Godfather of Little Devenhill, Kalad, wanted to make Catherine his countess. This matter gave Laing a headache because almost all the great nobles were against it. Fortunately, due to Laing's great prestige, the opposition was not so strong. Most of the great nobles, especially Kalad's superior, Duke Berchemund, thought that there was no need to be so serious about being a countess. Why not just give her the position of the head of the court? If it really did not work, he could appoint Durney as his first successor and find a Holy Grail Knight to be his godson.
After the meal, Laing seized the time to make out with his wife. The two slipped into the master bedroom on the second floor and spent more than an hour doing some pleasurable things. After that, Suria was so tired that she took a bath and went to bed early. It was now Laing's turn to sit in the study and continue working.
In the simple and quiet study, Laing sat behind a large table and enjoyed Olica's massage while looking down at the various documents of the kingdom and the reports of everyone.
Kalad had already gathered more than eight thousand soldiers in Culona. They were mainly responsible for the northern coast of Culona to Le-Angoulan. Most of the troops were still on standby in the suburbs of Culona. They were mobile forces that could provide support everywhere.
After looking at the reports, Laing realized that there was still no news from the barbarians. He wondered if he was being a little too cautious and making a mountain out of a molehill. The war between the barbarians and the dark elves in the north had been verified to have happened.
However, this was also a way to centralize power and ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. Laing smiled at the thought and did not pay too much attention to it. He put Kalad's report aside.
After looking at a few more rolls of parchment and making comments on them with a quill pen, the door of the study opened and a fragrant breeze came in from outside.
The head of MI7, the Sanctum Witch Aurora, walked in wearing a layered crystal blue pleated dress. Her waterfall-like black hair was clipped behind her head with a simple diamond hairpin. Bright pearl earrings hung from her sparkling earrings. Under the long dress, her delicate jade-like feet were revealed in black pointed heels. A beautiful S-shaped curve was presented in front of Laing. Her slender and straight calves were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings and illuminated by the dim yellow light in the room. The Sanctum Witch had obviously put on some light makeup. Her slender eyes and silver pupils were exactly the same as Teresa's. The only difference was that the Sanctum Witch was more mature and beautiful.
"Miss Aurora, what's the matter?" Laing raised his head from behind the pile of documents.
Aurora had been doing well recently. Since Laing came back, she naturally became a lot more strong-willed. In front of Laing's palace, the nobles and knights were also louder. All of this came from Laing's authority. The Sanctum Witch had a deeper understanding of this. She and Teresa could not survive without Laing's protection now. The operation of MI7 had offended many people.
However, since Olica came back, Aurora found that she had begun to lose her memory again. Especially after she was called to the servant's room by Olica yesterday afternoon, she could not remember what happened at all. Seeing Olica standing behind Laing, Aurora awkwardly avoided Olica's gaze. "Laing, the latest news from the north."
"What news?" Laing asked casually.
"According to our information from Örengrád in MI7, it seems that the Norska barbarians are besieging the Norska dwarves' Lone Dragon City." Aurora handed over a thin piece of information. "The dwarves of Lone Dragon City have warned that a large number of barbarians are gathering in the north of Kislöw. However, according to our sources, the barbarians seem to have lost 2000 people after besieging Lone Dragon City for an entire week. Other than breaking through a line of defense and causing 30 casualties to the Norska dwarves, they did not gain anything. The barbarians seem to have given up on continuing their attack and are only maintaining the siege."
"I see." Laing was quite serious at first, but after hearing the news, he relaxed.
The large number of barbarians gathering in Lone Dragon City meant that the barbarians were about to have a decisive battle with the dark elves. However, after besieging Lone Dragon City for an entire week, not only did they not gain anything, but they also suffered heavy losses. Laing believed that this meant that the barbarians were not large in scale. Knight King did not know much about the defense system of Lone Dragon City, but he knew that the dwarves of Lone Dragon City lacked firearms technology. Supreme King Solgreen had told him about this before. The few guns and cannons in Lone Dragon City were given to the Norska dwarves after the great holy war. The Norska dwarves could only produce the most basic dwarven guns and cannons themselves.
Without iron-dragon cannons, accordion cannons, flame cannons, and dwarven rotary wing bombers to help defend the city, Laing deduced that Lone Dragon City's defense was about the same as Eight Peak Mountain Fortress.
"It seems that the barbarians are only attacking on a small scale." Laing said casually, "Don't worry too much about it, but we still need to keep the information from Örengrád unblocked. If there's any news, report to me as soon as possible."
"But the cost of using magic to send messages from Örengrád is very high," Aurora complained.
"I'll give you a special fund." Laing knew what Aurora was thinking. Knight King said with a smile that did not look like a smile, "Do you have new research?"
"The book you brought back has a great spell to summon the Supreme Ice Elemental Lord …" Aurora put her hands on her hips righteously, "In order to master this spell, Teresa and I need more research funds."
"Well, I'll give you another sum of money. Spend it wisely. Also, you must have some results before the end of the year. I need you to provide two full sets of ice magic scrolls." Laing agreed. Spellcasters were such big spenders. There was no way around it. Aurora was not spending money recklessly. She would make a large number of potions and magic scrolls in return for Laing's investment.
It was just that in the process, she had to have a large sum of money like Laing to maintain the turnover.
"By the way, Laing, are you really going to … let Catherine, that little bitch … I mean, let Veronica's little apprentice become the Countess of Calad?" Aurora then asked another thing that she was concerned about.
"If it's possible, why not?" Laing laughed.
Aurora suddenly felt a fire in her heart rushing to her head!
Damn it! Even Catherine, that little bitch, could rely on giving birth to a child and possibly become the Countess!
But Teresa and I …
No, I have to talk to Teresa about this. Aurora looked at Laing's handsome appearance and incomparably majestic heroic aura and made a decision in her heart. For her and Teresa's future, this could not go on.
The backup plan also had to be prepared.
