Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

May 12, 1026

Middle of the Principality of Airland, Midloft City

It was already 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was getting late, and the whole front hall was crowded with citizens who came to eat in the "burning fire" tavern.

Burning fire tavern is not the most popular tavern in the city. But when it comes to the food in the store, it is second to none in the city.

The reason why other taverns are not popular is that they do not provide ‘special services’.

Especially the barbecue in the pub, it is a must in the city.

Whether it's grilled beef and mutton, or grilled whole chicken, whole fish, the chef's heat is just right. With the generous use of pepper and salt, the mouth is full of fluid and full of flavor.

Served with soybean soup with maltose and whole wheat bread without sawdust and mudstones, it is the favorite of every visitor.

Today, however, the attention of the guests is not in the food on the table. It was another group of guests in the corner who laughed wantonly and kept persuading the wine to attract the past.

If the chef in the backyard knows this situation, I am afraid I will cry in sorrow.

The Principality of Airland has a history of 300 years.

As the faithful brother of the Kingdom of Ozkailu, this small remote country backed by the Rainbow Mountains has not been greatly affected by several wars and has always maintained a relatively stable state.

In such a country with a long history and deeply influenced by the ideology of secret mainland descent, the degree of solidification of its class is conceivable.

The most recent birth of a new aristocracy in the Principality has to be traced back more than ten years ago.

And that time it was only promoted to a knight, and his identity as an illegitimate son of the earl was also an important factor.

As a result, the difference in status between nobles and civilians is many times higher than that of Perth.

In addition, in recent years, the suzerain state Ozkailu has gradually weakened in the ongoing war, and Irland, as a vassal state, has also been deeply affected.

Passed down from layer to layer, the nobles' high-pressure rule over ordinary people has been going on for several years.

Therefore, in the Principality, there are not many scenes of laughter like these guests.

But being rare doesn't mean there isn't. Those caravans with the backing of nobles from other countries, of course, don't pay much attention to the high-pressure policies of the principality, and laugh as they please.

"So it really caught their attention"

Lothar used the corner of his eye, glanced at their customers secretly, and drank the drink in his hand.

Suddenly, a burst of almost undisguised'Guru' sounded one after another.

Yes, the answer is "wine in the glass".

In other words, the wine in the glass is ‘water’.

The Principality of Airland has been drought for two years.

The situation this year is still not very good. From the beginning of spring to the present, it has only sporadic light rain in mid-April.

Although the nobles of the principality have completely decayed, they know the serious problems caused by the drought anyway.

Since last year, drinking water in the city has been strictly controlled.

Therefore, such a scene of gulp-drinking has not appeared for a long time.

Of course, it is said to be ‘strict’ ​​control, but the specific ‘strictness’ is still different from person to person.

Otherwise, how could Lothar be able to buy so many drinks in an ordinary tavern?

Although the price is several times more expensive.

Not far away (really a thousand miles), from one's own territory to another country to drink and eat meat, naturally, the purpose is not really just to show off wealth.

Rather, it is scouting the ‘enemy’s situation’.

Since the war last year, the battle between the public and the public has been almost on the verge of breaking out.

Originally in Lothar's speculation, the best time for the Marquis to rise should be the autumn harvest last year, and winter will not arrive at the latest.

Because at that time, the Principality has continuously invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the Nuremberg area, knowing that there will not be much gains.

In comparison, the Marquis Fang, who has had a whole year of stable development, can be said to have plenty of food and grass and a wealth of soldiers.

Isn't this an excellent opportunity for the Marquis?

However, the Grand Duke also saw what Lothar was able to see, and made corresponding preparations.

So when the end of summer was approaching last year, a large-scale pirate invasion broke out in the Marquis coastal territory.

What kind of ‘large scale’?

When the pirates were at their strongest, they even gathered five thousand soldiers and besieged Werstner.

Although these rabble crowds were easily defeated by the Marquis in the end, their influence caused the Marquis to lose the ability to wage war.

In other words, due to lack of preparation, the Marquis took the initiative to postpone the launch of the war.

Whose handwriting is naturally self-evident.

When the news reached Lothar, after a brief relaxation, he piled up full of worries again.

After thinking about it, you will know that it is necessary to guide a pirate of this scale to attack the territory of a great nobleman. The price the Duke needs to pay will not be too small.

Using this method of killing one thousand and destroying one hundred and eight hundred would also delay the arrival of the war. Obviously, the Grand Duke was also forced to a dead end.

Even among the pirates, it is unclear whether there is a navy of the principality.

In any case, Lothar can conclude that this war will break out within this year.

The Marquis will not give the Grand Duke more time to gather strength.

Therefore, Lothar, who was already in this chaos, left his steadily developing territory at a time when everyone was busy ploughing and began to investigate potential external threats.

After all, civil unrest in a country is not just a matter of the country.

The overseas countries need not worry about Lothar.

With the blockade of the duchy’s navy, even those countries that strongly supported the Marquis before will not openly stand on the side of the Marquis after the war begins.

Because the marquis is the minister, the grand prince is the king.

To help the Marquis publicly is to destroy the entire feudal system.

The only thing to worry about is that it might come from land, under the banner of'help the principality quell the rebellion,' and other countries will interfere in the army.

As to whether entering the Principality is to counter the rebellion, or is provoked by the Principality’s army to break out of conflict ~www.readwn.com~, it depends on the specific situation.

Even if the Rainbow Pass is solid, it is hard to say how long it will last if it is attacked by the Marquis and the Intervention Army.

Therefore, when Lothar came out this time, detecting potential ‘enemy’ is only the first step.

If possible, it is also necessary to create troubles for several threatened countries.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the alternative means may not be used anymore.

The Rainbow Mountains are towering and steep, and the road that can send large troops to the Principality of Perth is to take the Rainbow Pass.

Among the many narrow and rugged mountain roads connected to this passage, the only ones that can pass the army smoothly are the two lines leading to the Duchy of Airland and the Duchy of Gusat.

Other countries, even if they have ideas about Perth, have strength.

But if you don't make preparations in advance, two or three months have passed by the time the assembled troops arrive at the Rainbow Pass.

Lothar didn't believe that the Marquis would be so stupid, but when he was clearly in the upper hand, he was preparing to lead the wolf into the house.

The fact is also true. In the latest intelligence collected by Lothar, there is indeed no news that any country is gathering troops.

In other words, the real threat to Perth is the two principalities.

But this threat can also be taken away today.

Because before coming to Irland, Lothar went to the Principality of Gusart.

It turns out that this country is in a fierce war with another country.

Even if you want to interfere in the Perth civil strife, there is more than enough.

As for the Principality of Irland.

Lothar shook his head slightly and drank the drink in the glass again.

‘A decadent country that has been dry for three consecutive years, what can you expect him to do? ’
