Chapter 797

Because of the underground size of the Royal Palace, lugao surprised Abel. When entering the second floor, the same style of decoration and more art decorations were dozens of times larger than the first floor.

Think of the location of lugaoyin. It's the edge of desert. The climate is very dry and hot. This kind of underground building can avoid the hot weather.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why the Royal Palace of lugaoyin built such a scale of underground.

But once again, Abel was shocked by the wealth of lugaoyin, a port city. Before, both the wealth on the ground and the wealth on the ground were just the tip of the iceberg of the whole lugaoyin palace.

In the huge space on the second floor of the underground, you can see exquisite works of art everywhere. If there are no hell creatures here, it's like a museum.

Abel carefully cleans up the hell creatures here, and does not recklessly use "instant movement" to move forward quickly, because he needs the art here, and everything here has been regarded as his own.

He is going to clean up all the hell creatures here and take away the works of art. The works of art here will become his spoils.

Abel's life seems to return to the day when he had a rest during the day and entered the dark world at night. While carrying works of art, he fought with the creatures of hell. His life is stable again.

The harvest time of Winter Wheat in the human world has come. This year's harvest time has been delayed for more than half a month due to the poor growth of winter wheat.

In the end, the yield of winter wheat has been reduced in a large area, which is very large, almost 70% of the yield has been reduced.

In the whole human world of the holy land, only 30% of all winter wheat was harvested in the past years, which caused a huge food shortage in many non-agricultural principalities.

Of course, these principalities have their own food reserves, but such a harvest, even with food reserves, can not support for a long time.

The grain reserve is generally set according to the consumption of grain in one season in the principality. This grain reserve can enable the principality to pass through the disaster year smoothly through grain reserve in case of natural disaster, so as to follow the harvest in the next season.

But now the situation is different. Almost everyone has accepted the once-in-a-thousand-year crop reduction cycle, and the crop has been reduced in the previous year, which has consumed part of the reserve grain of many principalities.

When there is a huge gap in food, there are some conflicts within human beings.

If the strength of the orc empire is not reduced, even if there is such a conflict within the human race, it will not be too serious, because the oppression of foreign enemies will make the human world more united.

But now the situation is that the orc Empire has been weakened by a miracle wall battle, and Abel gave the orc empire a heavy blow not long ago, killing six senior Orc sacrifices.

In a short time, the orc empire lost seven senior Orc sacrifices and a large number of elite soldiers, which forced them to build walls to separate the human world from the orc empire.

It was a brilliant victory, but now it brings unexpected results.

Human beings have lost their biggest enemy. For at least one hundred years, the orc Empire has hardly threatened human beings.

However, after the external oppression disappeared, the internal contradictions of human beings suddenly emerged. At present, there are only some small conflicts between the castles, which are caused by the harvest of food.

In early June, at the junction of the Principality of taikos and the Principality of Kean, an army of Knights was marching towards the city of Deyo in the Principality of Kean.

This is a cavalry group composed of 200 official knights and 3000 trainee knights. No noble family can have such a number of knights. Only the principality can command such a large cavalry group.

Commander job is the commander of this cavalry. He is the most powerful one among the three knights in the Principality of taikos.

The Principality of taikos is a mineral principality. The natural mineral resources make taikos rich in iron, silver, gold and even magic stone resources.

With such rich mineral resources, the Principality of taikos has become the richest of the seven principalities belonging to the kingdom of St. Ellis. Because of its wealth, the principality is also very powerful.

The Principality of Keene was also a very powerful principality. Because of the branch of the sorcerer guild in Keene, the proportion of witches was very high.

But because of Abel's devastating attack on the wizard circle of the Principality of Keene, it was the top strength among the seven principalities, but now it has become the weakest principality.

If there is no crisis of crop reduction, the Principality of Kean can recover its vitality and erect magic tower again within hundreds of years, but the emergence of crop reduction makes the Principality of Kean a piece of fat.

Around Keane, there are four powerful principalities that covet it, but they are afraid of the majesty of the kingdom of St. Ellis.The Principality of taikos does not want to make a first bird, but the crisis of crop reduction is the most direct blow to their principality. The grain in the principality is not enough to maintain the next season's crop maturity, and how much crop can be harvested in the next season is still a big question mark.

In this case, the Principality of tycos had to act, so a cavalry strong enough to kill the Principality of Kean was sent out.

Because it's all knights, this regiment of more than 3000 people is advancing very fast. When the sun is still overhead, it has reached the city of Deyo in the Principality of Kean.

"Knights, our request to buy food from the Principality of Kean has been rejected. The Principality of Kean would rather see our people starved to death than sell food to us. If they don't give it, we will take it by ourselves. In front of us is the city of Deyo in the Principality of Kean. I need you to fight for the Principality of taikos and for the people of the principality!" The knight of job growled.

"Fight for the Principality of tycos, fight for the people of the principality!" More than three thousand knights were so excited by the words of commander job that they shouted loudly.

"Honor is my life!" The knight chob drew out his sword from his side. The sword shone golden under the reflection of the sun, he shouted.

"Honor is my life!" Cried the Knights.

The great chivalry of job is the first, and more than 3000 chivalry follow closely. The well-trained chivalry naturally forms the archery battle formation in the running.

Although the city of Deyo is the border city of the Principality of Kean, there are not many troops stationed in the border city, because there has been no war between the principality and the principality for countless years, so the defenders here forget that it is still a dangerous border city.

The garrison here is led by commander Horatio, with a total of ten knights and five hundred soldiers. The biggest battle the Garrison has ever experienced is just to exterminate the bandits.

Annelin is a scout, but because there is no war for a long time, he is just standing on the wall to watch. Because he rested late last night, today he is a little depressed.

While he was dozing off, he was shocked by the vibration of the ground. When he looked up outside the city wall, the image in front of him immediately made him sleepless.

In the sun, a cavalry in full armor is rushing towards the city of Deyo, thousands of horses are running, and a piece of flying dust rises behind them, making this cavalry seem to be carrying the power of heaven and earth.

"Enemy attack!" Cried annelin, turning back his hand and ringing the alarm bell. His voice was trembling with tension.

The horseman Horatio was sitting in the dining room, tasted red wine gracefully, and the veal and vegetable salad in front of him gave off an attractive taste.

Just as he picked up the red wine and poured it into his mouth, the alarm rang and his hands shook. The red wine was all over his body, but he had no time to control it.

The continuous alarm is not a random one. The wrong alarm is to be hanged, so no one will make fun of it.

"Prepare the horse!" The horseman of Horatio rushed out of the restaurant when he grew up.

There was no time for him to wear armor, so he rode out of the mansion in his plain clothes.

But above the city wall, the alarm bell made captain Nigel wake up from his nap. The place where he slept was the guard room above the city wall. So when he woke up, he just sat up and saw the cavalry rushing towards the city wall outside the window.

"Close the gate!" Captain Nigel yelled as he hurriedly put his clothes on him.

When Captain Nigel rushed to the gate, more than ten city guards who heard the sound were closing the gate.

The gate is made of huge solid wood, with a thickness of up to 30cm, covered with iron sheet, on which there are nails for reinforcement.

The whole city gate is very heavy. The work of closing the city gate requires at least 20 soldiers to work together, and it will take a few minutes to close it completely.

But listening to the sound of the horse's hoof outside the city, whether it's captain Nigel or other soldiers, they all feel a bit flustered. The familiar closing action of the city gate is also stiff at the moment.

At this time, he saw that the gate of Deyo city was closing slowly, and his heart was in a hurry.

He didn't expect that the defense reaction of the city of Deyo would be so rapid. He chose to close the gate at the first time. Before the attack, he knew the situation of the city of Deyo. The defenders here had not been fighting for many years.

If the gate is closed, the knight he brings will attack the city, and the speed of attack will be greatly affected.

To enter such a city, we must have siege equipment and wait for the siege equipment to arrive. Then the blitzkrieg plan formulated by the Principality of taikos will be greatly affected.

Thinking of this, the fighting spirit of the great Knight chob flashed. The fighting spirit wrapped his whole body and the horses under him. He suddenly launched the skill "charge" of the great knight.

His horse, like a flash of lightning, quickly broke away from the running army in front of the regiment and rushed to the gate.

"Come on, come on, close it!" Captain Nigel yelled and commanded the soldiers to close the gate together.The gate in front of us is only two meters away. As long as the gate is closed, the army composed of knights can't enter the city in a short time.

But when Captain Nigel saw the hope, a ray of light rushed into the gap of the city gate that was about to be closed. He just wanted to shout, but he felt a ray of light flash through him.

His strength suddenly disappeared, and he was shocked to find that his upper body had left his lower body.

The chivalrous sword in the hand of the chivalrous knight, who rushed into the city gate, was waved rapidly with a whip of fighting spirit. Only for a moment, after the whole city gate, there was no life other than him.

"Honor is my life!" Just as commander job was about to turn around and push the gate open, a roar came from behind him, and then commander Horatio rushed to him with his sword.

This is a fearless charge, and also an inevitable one. A Knight Commander without armor and shield, with only a knight's sword in his hand, attacks a Knight Commander with full armor, complete equipment and active fighting spirit. The end is inevitable.

Just like a wave rushing on a boulder, the great chivalrous commander job just hit it with his hand, while the chivalrous commander Horatio left his horse and fell to the ground heavily. In the chest of the chivalrous commander Horatio, a sword mark took away his life breath.

This attack by commander job was very attentive and did not damage the body of commander Horatio. It was a respect for a real knight.

After the gate was opened, more than 3000 knights rushed into the gate. At this time, the city of Deyo had no ability to fight back. Half an hour later, the city of Deyo, which had guarded the gate for the Principality of Kean for countless years, was completely lost.

Two hundred knights were left to garrison the city of Deyo. The great Knight chob didn't stop in Deyo. He wanted to seize as many cities as he could before the news reached other cities.

Fu city and donya City, the two nearest cities to Deyo City, were also captured in just two days. When commander job was preparing to attack erluo City, because the news had been delivered here, he saw a fortified city.

The troopers had to stop attacking for a long time. The strong knights were exhausted by the attack for several days. They camped outside erluo.

"Father, the Principality of tycos raided the Principality of Kean, and has occupied three cities of the Principality of Kean!" Above the palace hall of the kingdom of St. Ellis, Prince Alec is reporting the latest information to his majesty emperor Ambrose.

The attack speed of the Principality of taikos is too fast, and each attack is a lightning tactic, without prior notice, which has completely violated the knight code.

And the intelligence system of the Principality of tycos also interfered with the process of attack. Even the intelligence system of the kingdom of St. Ellis got accurate information two days later.

"Your Majesty, the Principality of tycos is a challenge to the kingdom of St. Ellis, which should be severely punished immediately!" A minister said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I think the Principality of taikos should have no choice but to reprimand it and let it repent and give up the occupied land!" Another minister stepped forward and said.

"Have you received the property of the Principality of tycos, and at this time you have defended it!" Said the former minister, with his eyes fixed on the minister who had just spoken.

"Can't you have a different voice in the Empire? Have ministers with other opinions received property? " The minister in question was not angry, but asked in reply.

However, he did receive the gift from the Principality of taikos. Only by excusing himself from the hall, he could get so much wealth that he could not be moved.

"Well, there's no more fighting!" His majesty Ambrose waved and stopped the ministers from arguing.

In fact, he understood that it was the most unacceptable thing to send out troops at such a time. To use the troops, we must have a large amount of grain as support. The current grain reserve of the empire can no longer start a war.

The original grain reserves of the Empire were much more than those of the principalities, enough for several years, but a war against the orc Empire mobilized too many resources of the Empire, so was the grain.

A large number of knights are mobilized. The food eaten by these knights and war horses needs to be transported, which also consumes food. In addition, during the war preparation period, the feed of war horses must be consumed the most to ensure the training of knights.

It can be said that a war with the orc empire made the three empires consume nearly half of their grain reserves.

The number of grain reserves of the empire is confidential, and several ministers present do not know it, but his majesty Ambrose, as the emperor of the Empire, knows it clearly.

"Send messengers to the Principality of taikos and ask it to comply with the principality's rules and withdraw from the occupied land!" Said his majesty Ambrose in a deep voice.

The emissaries of the kingdom of St. Ellis were warmly welcomed in the Principality of taikos, but the Principality of taikos did not immediately implement the imperial orders, but under the pretext that the army was too scattered, and the withdrawal needed time to delay.

It was the Principality of tycos testing the bottom line of the kingdom of St. Ellis. His majesty Ambrose's attitude was unexpectedly weak. He just sent out coordination envoys many times, which was not as tough as the Empire should be.The actions of the Principality of taikos and the attitude of the kingdom of St. Ellis are like burning oil barrels. When taikos and the kingdom of St. Ellis quarreled, the Principality of lalvi, the Principality of Laka and the Principality of Koror also sent their troops in a short time.

This is a feast, a feast to carve up the Principality of Keene. If it is only the invasion of the Principality of taikos, the Principality of Keene will exert its national power, and can resist for a period of time without sending out wizards.

But when the four principalities attacked at the same time, the original weak military force of the Principality of Kean could not support the four sides of the war at all. In a few days, only the capital city of Biri remained in the Principality of Kean, which has become an isolated city.

In the Royal Palace of Kean, King Kenneth looked at the map in front of him. It used to be a large area of Kean, but now it has become the land of other principalities.

After passing on the principality for countless years, only the capital city of Biri remained in his hands.

But he knew that there was a glimmer of hope. The kingdom of St. Ellis had been mediating. He needed to give the Empire enough time. In addition, the possible intervention of the Sorcerer's Guild would also let the Principality of Kean survive.

All of these must have a premise, that is, the Principality of Kean can keep the city of Biri.

At this time, the nobles who escaped from the lost land brought a large number of knights and soldiers to the city of Biri. Originally, such war nobles would not make the escape, because although the war had an impact on the nobles, normally no matter which side won, it would not have a great impact on the nobles.

But this time, the four principalities need food. They don't need local nobles.

Historically, there has never been a war like this one, in which all the resources on the occupied land have been ransacked, nobles have been driven away, urban residents have also been driven away, and all the people who can consume food have been driven away.

Only the farmers who could grow food remained, because the city of Biri is full of nobles, many knights and soldiers can be seen everywhere, and even the city of Biri can't afford to be driven away by many residents.

Outside the city of Biri, many residents from other cities have no choice but to build temporary sheds. Fortunately, the weather is hot now, as long as it can shade the sun.

But the food problem has become more and more serious. All the food that can be eaten has been eaten by hungry people, and there is no edible resource within a few miles around Biri city.

In the Great Hall of the kingdom of St. Ellis, the atmosphere is a little depressed.

"Father, send out troops. If we don't send out troops, the majesty of our empire will be completely lost!" Said the great prince Alec to his majesty Ambrose in a voice of supplication.

His majesty Ambrose glanced at Alec, the great prince. He did not know that if he continued like this, the whole empire would be separated.

As long as the Principality of Kean disappears, it means that the kingdom of St. Ellis has lost control of its vassals. This will be a huge blow, and the strength of the kingdom of St. Ellis will be greatly damaged.

Once the vassal states lose control, the war among them will probably last forever, and may eventually develop into a war.

And the kingdom of St. Ellis is not without enemies. Whether it is the kingdom of St. Paul or the kingdom of St. Anwar, once the power of the kingdom of St. Ellis is greatly damaged, then the two empires will mercilessly fight against them.

Now the only problem is food. As long as there is enough food, we can send troops to suppress the four principalities and let them withdraw their troops.

At this time, none of the ministers in the hall spoke out. The mediation during this period of time without sending troops made them all understand that the Empire could no longer afford a war.

No matter what kind of Ministers there were before, in such a severe form, there was no other idea. All ministers knew that if the matter could not be handled properly, the Principality of St. Ellis would be in great trouble.

"Alec, I remember you said that the Duchy of Carmel is well supplied with food. Is that the case?" Asked his majesty Ambrose, turning to the great prince Alec.

"Yes, father, according to the information sent back by the intelligence office, all the grain stores in Kamei have been directly supplied by Kamei. Although there are limited requirements for the purchasers, the grain supply has always been very sufficient. The intelligence response from the major grain stores in Kamei, the stock of grain stores is not less than that of the previous years!" Replied the great prince, Alec, bowing.

"Is it feasible to buy a batch of grain from the Duchy of Kamal?" Asked his majesty Ambrose in some uncertain inquiries.

As the emperor of the Empire, his majesty Ambrose has the supreme power, but for the Duchy of Carmel, there are not many ways for Abel. The only way is through consultation.

Because he knew better than anyone the role of Abel in the war with the orc empire. In that war, only the elite Orc soldiers killed by Abel alone reached a terrible number.

He has been shocked by the huge amount of fighting achievements. A strong man like this can never use power to suppress.

"The Duchy of Kamal has always been an important food producing area. Even after the great master Abel became king, even though there was a large-scale reduction in production last year, the Duchy of Kamal did not reduce the food that should be given to the Empire, nor did it replace it with gold coins or other materials like other duchy, so it is not bad to come to the Duchy of Kamal." The big prince Alec analyzed.Alec, the great prince, controls the intelligence system of the kingdom of St. Ellis, and his analysis is the most convincing.

"Alec, instead of me, you can send the Duchy of Carmel to buy a batch of food. You can tell the truth to the abbot master!" His majesty Ambrose said in a deep voice.

"Father, I'll go now!" The great prince Alec knew the time was urgent and bowed out of the hall.

In the city of Gangba, the Duchy of Carmel, Abel received Alec, the great prince, in the palace side hall. This was a private meeting, so there was no one here except Chamberlain Burbage.

"Master Abel, do you know the war situation of the Principality of Kean?" Asked big prince Alec directly.

"Yes, I have already heard!" Abel nodded.

As he has been in charge of the Kamal principality for a long time, the intelligence system has been greatly developed with the support of a large number of gold coins, especially the stable and rich Kamal principality that everyone yearns for, and this centripetal force enables the intelligence system to develop better.

The relationship between the Principality of Kean and Abel is not good. Because of Abel, the wizard system of the Principality of Kean has been completely broken, which is also the important reason why the four principalities dare to fight against the Principality of Kean.

Without the protection of witches, the Principality of Kean is like a child walking in the street with gold coins.

"Master Abel, the Principality of Kean cannot be overthrown. Once overthrown, it will disrupt the norms between the principalities, and make the human world fall into chaos. Wars will continue to occur!" Said the great prince in a deep voice.

"Your Highness Alec, I'm just a king of the principality, and I can't stop the war among the five principalities with my own national strength. What you said is far from my ability. The empire is the principality's suzerain. It's the duty of the Empire to uphold the principality's rules!" Abel shook his head and said to Alec, the great prince.

However, every year, the suzerain will collect certain resources from the vassal state. This collection share is related to the national strength of the vassal state. For example, the Duchy of Kama has to hand in a certain amount of grain every year for the protection of the suzerain state.

And now the Principality of Kean, which is under protection, was invaded by four other principalities, which was the duty of the Principality of St. Ellis.

"Master Abel, for the last war of the orc Empire, the kingdom of St. Ellis has consumed too much food, and the surplus food is not enough to support another war!" Big prince Alec said helplessly.

To suppress the four principalities, the kingdom of St. Ellis must send an army strong enough to deter the four principalities. As long as the army of this scale is mobilized, it will consume a lot of food.

"Your Highness Alec, what does the Empire want?" Abel asked directly.

"Master Abel, the empire can buy a batch of food from you at market price. Please help the Empire, and the Empire will give you enough returns!" Big prince Alec pleaded.

The market price of grain purchased with market price is not the market price of the Camille, but the current market price of the holy land. The price of grain in the Camille has been kept at a low level, which can almost guarantee that all citizens can not starve.

Abel didn't want turmoil in the human world, and an empire with a good relationship with him was in his interest. As for food, to be honest, there was no reason for his food to be sold out.

Although there are many grains, they are only enough to supply two or three principalities. Once they are sold to the outside world, they are likely to be overlooked.

He is not afraid of war, but the trouble he can reduce is to reduce as much as possible, and the strength of the Duchy of Kamal is still too weak, and it will take a while to grow.

"Yes, your highness Alec, you can give me a specific amount. I'll let the minister prepare for you!" Abel thought and nodded.

"Master Abel, your help has won the friendship of the Empire!" Big prince Alec said excitedly.

In the city of Biri, the capital of the Principality of Kean, knights, soldiers and strong ordinary civilians have been arranged on the wall, and countless materials for guarding the city have been sent to the wall. Under the pressure of plundering wealth and destroying the country, under the threat of survival, the nobles in Biri have never been united before.

Outside the walls, the armies of the four principalities have arrived. Their goal is the final wealth of the Principality of Kean. Because of their drive, the wealth of the whole principality of Kean has been concentrated in the city of Biri.

When a great war was inevitable, a super cavalry of 20000 knights from the kingdom of St. Ellis left the Empire and came to the Principality of Kean.

The move of the kingdom of St. Ellis surprised the four principalities, whose intelligence system had confirmed that the Empire would not send a large army to suppress it.
