In the blink of an eye, it entered the cold month, which is also the coldest day of the year. Even in Ellington, where the temperature is more comfortable, people prefer to stay in a warm room rather than go out.

Even the weather mages control the weather without snow, but the cold wind will not be merciful. It's too painful to go out in this weather.

After a period of emergency construction, the construction team of Datang chamber of commerce finally completed the heating transformation for more than ten major cities when the temperature of Ryan empire was about to exceed minus 40 degrees, so that they could enjoy the comfort of modern life in advance.

Over the past month, the construction team has not been idle at all, especially the mages who are the main construction force. They need their strength to open the ground or build the wall, which can make them tired. However, the results are also gratifying. More than a dozen cities that originally looked like primitive tribes have been transformed into square and modern cities by them, Watching those Plush orcs gape into their new house, the sense of achievement is not to mention how great it is.

Although he worked as a contractor for a month, don didn't treat them badly. When he came back, he had a glass of Longdao fruit wine. After drinking it, he felt the great improvement of the magic pool and magic affinity. Isn't each one happy?

Now, looking at the whole prandal, the Ilus Empire occupies the center of the continent and has a vast territory from south to north. It has recovered half of the territory of that year, and the remaining half is naturally the kingdom of ronitant and the kingdom of grace.

Now, although the ronitant Kingdom has not returned, it has not refused to trade with the Ilus empire. As the trade relations between the two sides continue to be close, sooner or later, they will be completely elevated by the Datang chamber of Commerce, become a puppet country like the Ryan Empire, and finally completely integrate into the Ilus empire.

The kingdom of grace is the only one worth taking a little seriously.

Because that country is too closed.

Donne is not in a hurry to deal with the kingdom of grace. After all, the more peaceful and stable the world is, the better for him, so that he can safely farm and climb technology.

Unfortunately, the world is often not satisfactory.

Kingdom of grace, blood plain, blood rock city.

Stanley sat on the throne, his eyes blank, obviously thinking something on his mind.

The ministers below knew clearly why his majesty Stanley was absent-minded. It was not because Harriet, the little queen he married a few years ago, was sixteen years old after the end of the year. She was no longer the little Lori Stanley liked. I was afraid that this little king would evaporate from the world on the last day of her fifteenth year, just like the previous little kings.

It's all because the damned Princess Aurelia of the ilrus Empire didn't marry him. As a result, their prince became like this! (see Chapter 187 for details. Who remembers that Stanley is a Laurie?)

But no one dares to say such a thing.

"Your majesty! The weather is getting colder and colder. Recently, it has been difficult for the residents in the city to hunt their prey. Other cities have also sent news that there are not many grain reserves. I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on until the beginning of next spring."

Even knowing that his majesty Stanley was in a bad mood recently, the tall and burly Duke Blau Vogt had to report the bad news.

His majesty Stanley said disapprovingly, "there's not enough food? Then grab it!"

This was done in winter in previous years. In case of food shortage, soldiers of the kingdom of grace pretended to be mountain bandits and went to other places to rob food.

Because of the fortress of the mark of the holy sword, the Ilus empire was rarely looted by the grace kingdom. At the same time, because the climate of the Wren empire was extremely bad and the land was equally barren, the grace Kingdom rarely thought about the northern neighbor. Therefore, the only unlucky ones were the Principality of Sila and the Principality of ivalan in the East, Even the border cities of the kingdom of saulant sometimes suffer.

Klein was well aware of the autumn wind in the kingdom of grace every year, but his attention has been focused on how to completely kill the Ilus Empire, so he never dealt with him, but let the kingdom of grace live a good life for several years.

But the Duchy of Sila and the Duchy of ivalan are very aggrieved. The so-called duchy is just a city-state as a buffer zone. Throughout the country, it is only a few cities. Even if the wilderness and jungle are combined to die, it is only about 10000 square kilometers, and the population is less than one million. How much food can they produce?

The kingdom of grace came to play the autumn wind every three or five times, which made the kings of the Principality of Sila and the Principality of ivalan look like a robbery every winter. Every day, their old faces wrinkled together, like constipation.

At the beginning, the kings of the Principality of Sila and the Principality of ivalan did not fight hard. Unfortunately, although the grain production of the kingdom of grace is not high, the soldiers are tall and powerful, the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and the proportion of apocalypse is extremely high. The two sides are not opponents at the same level at all. Many people die and many women are robbed every year, The two sides have long accumulated deep blood feuds.

Even sometimes, the kings of the two principalities want to be directly incorporated into the kingdom of solant, and accept the asylum of the kingdom of solant. Even if they can't revenge, it's better to be beaten every day.

Unfortunately, Klein didn't accept it!

The existence of these two principalities is to serve as a buffer zone between solant and grace. If solant is incorporated, the two countries will directly border and the conflict will become more intense. How can he concentrate on dealing with the ilrus Empire?

If they wanted to merge into the Ilus Empire, Victor would agree, but at that time, the Ilus empire was very weak and did not have the charm to return those principalities. They simply continued to maintain their independence.

But now... The situation remains the same.

With the complete acceptance of the kingdom of solante by the ilrus Empire, the Principality of poleni and the Principality of akna sandwiched between the ilrus Empire and the kingdom of solante were directly accepted with joy, directly becoming the cities of poleni and akna, and the original cities in the principality were reduced by one level to become towns.

Although the administrative level is lower, the treatment they enjoy has been improved! The endless supply of goods and food of Datang chamber of Commerce has dazzled these Hicks!

After returning to the Ilus Empire, the citizens of the Principality of poleni and the Principality of akhena have a festival every day!

Originally, the kings of the Principality of Sila and the Principality of ivalan also prepared salutes and flowers, waiting for the irus Empire to send someone to receive their return. As a result, they waited for no notice. Finally, in a hurry, they didn't hesitate to send someone inside to ask. They were devastated to learn that in order not to stimulate Stanley, So I don't intend to take over the Principality of Sila and ivalan for the time being, but you can rest assured that if you are harassed by the kingdom of grace, we will help you settle it. You can live in peace!

Although the words are beautiful, the subtext is that - now is not the time for war, so you continue to watch the door for us and be a buffer belt.

Now the kings of the two principalities were stupid. The good day of looking left and right did not come. The hearts of the two kings were cold. As a result, one winter, the evil neighbor came to the door again

Fortunately, with the secret assistance of the ilrus Empire, the days of the Principality of Sila and ivalan are much better this year, and the loss of this food is completely acceptable.

The camera returns to the palace of blood rock city.

"Your Majesty," Blau said in a deep voice, "this year is different from previous years. The kingdom of solant has been recovered by the Ilus empire. Now the Ilus empire is at its peak. Now we cross the border to plunder food and property, which may provoke war. Now the outbreak of war is very unfavorable to your Majesty's plan."

Stanley glanced at him and said faintly, "haven't the Principality of Sila and ivalan returned? Isn't the food in their two countries enough for us to last until the beginning of spring?"

Blau smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, that was the situation in the past. Don't forget, now we have more than millions of mouths..."

Stanley frowned, "can a dog head eat so much?"

Blau explained: "Although they don't care whether the food is good or bad and can eat anything, they can't stand it. The quantity of grain and grass transported there every day is an amazing number. Although the soil of the Principality of Sila and the Principality of ivalan is fertile and the grain output is not low, they have a small population and a small area of cultivated land, and the food available can't make up for this big hole."

Stanley said carelessly, "then kill some dog headed people, cook and feed them to other dog headed people. At the same time, according to the original plan, go to the Principality of Sila and the Principality of ivalan to grab a batch of food."

"This is a solution, but if you kill the dog head man, the speed of excavation..."

"I believe that the effect of filling the stomach and whipping is enough to make up for those dead dog headed people."

Stanley said coldly, "Duke Vogt, do you have anything else to say?"

"Minister... No more."

"Then do it right away."

Stanley changed his posture and said, "well, Duke Rupert, report on the progress of the excavation."

Ferguson Rupert is also a tall and strong man. Now he is dirty and dusty. It is obvious that he has just arrived. He stepped forward and said: "With the deepening of excavation, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and the soil is very hard. It is difficult to carry out large-scale excavation. Moreover, landslides occur from time to time, and many dog headed people die every day."

Someone couldn't help muttering. The more you go underground, the hotter it should be. How can it get colder?

Stanley's eyes lit up: "it's getting colder and colder!? good! It seems that we're close to the goal!"
