Time passed day by day, but the news from the south still hadn't arrived.

The new king was not idle. He followed the advice of the Earl of Grain Ward and dispatched his most elite troops, the most precious military legacy left to him by his father - the Royal Knights of Palavin, and all the elite soldiers and lords Our best fighters held a grand military parade in the city together.

Although the older generation of knights of the Royal Knights were unable to fight after all these years, and the number dropped to only 151, and there were no knights under the age of forty, but when these most powerful warriors in Swadia were burly Strong horses, wearing a well-maintained full set of plate armor, wearing a red cloak of velvet or satin, holding a chain hammer and raising a lance, when they swaggered through the city in formation, the cheers and applause were no less than when they walked through the battlefield. When returning triumphantly.

"After so many years, we have not been forgotten." The current head of the Royal Knights couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Behind the royal knights, followed by a whole team of Swadian sergeants and snipers, as well as 200 knights from the Palavin area. In the entire Swadia area, only Suno and Palaven could support them. With so many knights, the former has enough land to support hundreds of knights and their horses and equipment, while half of the latter is supported by the royal family, so the demand for land is much less.

The king's army is strong and handsome enough in the eyes of the people. After all, a large-scale army armed to the teeth and wearing plate armor is the worst, even the citizens of Palavin will never see it a few times in their lifetime.

But it's not over yet. After the king's elite troops, there are also soldiers led by the lords who came to support. They are the most elite troops under the command of their respective lords. The knights hold the banner high, and the mixed troops of squires, heavy cavalry, Swadian infantry and crossbowmen follow behind. The sergeants stand on the outside and are responsible for ensuring the order of the team. Because these troops come from several earl lords and many knight families, a large number of flags are more than the colored silk of the carnival, and the atmosphere group is constantly spreading flower petals, and the relief officers and priests are distributing free bread on both sides, making the atmosphere of the scene It was brought to the extreme.

And our new Majesty is naturally dressed gorgeously, wearing the ancestral crown, gilded plate armor and luxurious velvet clothing, and even decorated the cloak with the real lion skin brought from the far south, Show the majesty of the king before the black lion.

He set up a high platform in front of the castle, and preached in the loudest voice the speech he had practiced hundreds of times. It was carefully prepared for him by the Earl of Glenwald. It was not only full of momentum, but also very close to the soldiers. In the whole of Swadia, the only earls and lords who can write such content are probably only this lord and the Earl of Byron in the south, because except for the two of them, the lives of the rest of the lords are far from civilians and ordinary soldiers. It was too far away, and His Majesty the King basically knew nothing about it.

In the end, the show ended with tsunami-like cheers and countless long live shouts. The citizens of Palavin were very satisfied, and the surrounding farmers who knew the news in advance and came to join in the fun were also very excited about it, and the soldiers were even more rewarded. The king not only covered their expenses for a whole day in the city, but the people even regarded them as heroes who defended their homeland and presented them with free bread and beer.

Among them, the most satisfying thing is His Majesty the King. He has solved the current panic problem, and he has gained a lot of prestige among the army and the people. The noble children who were tired of staying at home also enthusiastically signed up to participate in the next battle. The former hid guys because of the usual weapon fighting, while the latter could afford weapons, armor and horses. His Majesty Harauu won more than 400 light and heavy infantry and 70 light cavalry are available, and it doesn't cost a farr copper.

More importantly, this time he really tasted the benefits of being a king besides aloofness and power, and the support and admiration of all people is as sweet and comfortable as honey.

But after all, this is a large-scale show, and it cannot solve the most fundamental problem at the moment, which is Madam Aisona's constant approach.

This smart and politically minded woman even competed with her father in terms of power manipulation, and years of exile allowed her to forge a large number of contacts, and learned about many nobles through some difficult-to-follow intelligence networks Lord's Secret.

The battle in Ruibolet was very fierce, but on her way of attack, only the resistance here is worth mentioning. After the running of her messengers and her meeting with barons everywhere, most of the way through Paraven Local barons and armed squires have chosen to give up resistance and remain neutral, even though their lords have supported the new king in Palaven.

This self-reliant queen may not have much direct power, but she only used words, letters, and a few promises to disintegrate a coalition of barons who had already negotiated to unite and rush to the rescue of Palaven. This army could have 13 Barons, 84 knights, and 2,700 soldiers, but now no one dares to stand before the Queen's army.

But the queen's means are not limited to this, she is very clear that even so her army is still at a disadvantage in all aspects, and excessive compromise with Nord and Vikia will make her lose the support of domestic nobles and civilians.

But Mrs. Aisona knows how to use the existing conditions to expand her advantages. She has found some unexpected allies, that is, the Sarandes in the desert and the local nobles who originally belonged to Earl Crags!

That's right, this desert, which is so far away from her, has become a very suitable ally for her at present. Compared with the Nords who are like hungry wolves and the Vekia who has always been greedy for the "land of long summer", the land that Salander seeks does not conflict with Swadia, and even has a common enemy.

This covenant was actually signed a long time ago. The Sultan was extremely dissatisfied with his failure in the battle between Rhodok and Byron, and Lady Aisona regarded Byron as a major obstacle to her throne. She had thought of wooing this powerful lord in the south, and her background as a commoner was nothing to her as the female heir to the throne, but the information brought by her spies later confirmed that she was more willing to stand in Harauuna than Byron herself. After all, this little king is willing to give up far more than her.

So she promised the Sultan that she was willing to form an alliance with Salander after she became queen, and they would together clean up Byron and Earl Crags, who was loyal to the line of Harolds, and let him take the large areas in the south All the land is spit out, and when the time comes, Veruga to Jerkala will belong to Swadia, and the Eastern Rhodoks to the east of the mountains will all belong to Sarande, satisfying their desire to obtain green land in the west.

In addition, she will let Swadia replace Kujit's current ally status against Sarande, and the two sides will attack Kujit's city together, and make these capricious grassland people pay the price. Both sides caused enormous trouble. Even during the time when Salander and Kujit were allied, the prairie lords never stopped harassing their borders.

In return, Sudan summoned 7,000 soldiers in the country and carried a large amount of supplies to the north to support Lady Aisona's war. As for this kind of move, Earl Cress, who was supposed to stop him, didn't see it at all. He only asked the Salander army not to harass his territory and people, and to continue to remain neutral in the civil war. And those lords who secretly supported the "Queen" not only opened the way, but were even willing to trade supplies with the invaders to earn objective profits. This expeditionary force came to the hinterland of Swadia with little trouble. The past is completely unimaginable.

And within Swadia, Lady Aesona's influence is still there. Before Earl Crags took control of Suno, Madam Aisona had great power and influence in Suno, and she still has until now. She persuaded those old nobles to stand on her side again~lightnovelpub.net~ They don't need to do it now, they just need Her Majesty to stand up when she gains an advantage in the war, forcing Earl Crags to change his attitude and rally The rest of the cavalry serve the Queen.

Such an agreement is not only in Suno, but also has an effect in the entire central and southern parts of Swadia. The local barons hope to improve their status and obtain more land wealth in the civil war, and those who have not been taken seriously before The country gentry also saw this as an opportunity to stand up and squeeze into the ranks of real nobles. And what they have to do is to remain neutral, and then immediately follow the queen when the wind changes direction, and persuade their lord to change their position. The latter sounds difficult, but it's actually not that hard to do when you consider how many lords are neutral.

In the final analysis, this is a civil war after all, and the noble lords in the civil war are far less united than when foreign enemies invade. Most people are foolish, and too many lords expect their vassals to provide him with "suggestions" that they are not suitable to express clearly, and then betray their monarch "naturally and helplessly". The new king of Swadia would be amazed at how weak the power of the oath was and how ludicrously loyal the vassals of his lands were.

All the queen needs to do is to gain a clear advantage in a battle, and then the situation of the war will be completely reversed.
