The siege lasted for nearly two months.

In the middle, there were two groups of reinforcements from the Bacchus Empire.

As expected, King Ulrich's central cavalry unit arrived at the Sava River Fort after Count Oden defeated the enemy's first supporting army unit.

In the past two months, the treatment of the troops under the black and white griffon was extremely enviable...

While other troops were fighting bravely to besiege the reinforcements, Li Ang's troops sat on the top of the hill, playing skewers and watching a show;

Other lords were gnawing dry bread and drinking cold water, but even the soldiers in Li Ang's team ate steak and drank fine wine every day;

The equipment of other troops became worse and worse with the war, but the equipment of Li Ang's troops became better and better;

Other troops have gradually lost weight in the past two months, but Li Ang's troops are all rosy and radiant...

There was no way, hundreds of 'supply trucks' had been following Li Ang's banner. Attracted by the profits, the businessmen also had their own relatives and friends, and more and more businessmen participated in this fortune-making activity.

Often when a businessman goes back to replenish goods, he can bring two or three more fleets...

Of course, there are occasional losses.

A few days ago, in the south of the Sava River Fort, a group of thieves from the Snake Cult robbed the fleet of the Leslie Trading Co., Ltd.

Li Ang ran directly to Godric's military camp: "This time the dividend is gone, the additional losses are too great, the company is facing losses, there is no way!"

Godric was furious: "What a bully!"

Afterwards, Baron Godric led his troops to chase the Snake Cult team for hundreds of miles, even into the heart of the Bacchus Empire.

After a fierce battle, Godric killed his opponent's corpses everywhere and took back most of the goods.

The 'non-government armed forces' in Bacchus have now seen something powerful, but the matter is not over yet.

Hearing that the dividends had been reduced, Count Oden sent his elite rangers deep into the heart of the Bacchus Empire. Less than a hundred miles away from the Enemy City, they burned down the nest of the Snake Cultists.

Ashes.

Then a large number of cavalry troops were dispersed and patrolled back and forth on the caravan's replenishment route, working extremely diligently.

As a result, the bandits in the Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire all understood that they couldn't afford to offend that 'Maixiang Company'...

But the good days are always short-lived. After Emperor Marius of the Bacchus Empire gathered his army and arrived near the Sava River Fort, the battle came to an end.

The Duke of Alma failed to advance at Cullen Deer Castle and lost many troops, but he successfully attracted the main force of the Bacchus Empire.

Emperor Marius personally led the army and defeated the entire army of the Duke of Alma at the gates of Carron Castle.

Although Count Oden did not capture the Sava Fortress, he defeated two waves of enemy reinforcements, captured three great lords of the Bacchus Empire, and successfully occupied the south bank of the Sava River, regaining part of his homeland.

Large-scale fortifications were even built to the north of the Sava River Fort - the site of the Double Eleven International Exhibition Hypermarket, which gave the kingdom the right to dominate the war.

This can be regarded as achieving King Ulric's strategic purpose.

It seems that King Ulric did not intend to have a head-on all-out decisive battle with Emperor Marius - probably Emperor Marius did not have such plans either.

After a day of confrontation, the two sides retreated dozens of miles with a tacit understanding.

So, on January 1, 355 in the Pendor calendar, just as the new year had just begun, King Ulric announced his withdrawal.

The war is over.

The Lord's troops did not fight a single battle and did not fire a single shot, but they returned with a full load.

But the lord cannot return to Maixiangling yet.

There is still one big thing that has not been completed - the conferment of knights.

He asked Leslie to sort out the accounts and take the caravan back to Maixiangling. He also asked Anson to vigorously build various facilities and fortifications. He also asked Sarah to go to Changhe Town to purchase equipment.

There is a saying for everyone: "Don't save, spend hard, use up all the gold coins!"

But I also gave an important reminder: "Remember to keep the recovered silver coins! Remember, try not to spend the silver coins!"

Li Ang has no idea how much money he has in his hands. Anyway, all the core members of Maixiangling are rich - the Lord did not fool them. It is the end of the year, and he has indeed distributed dividends according to his shares.

The soldiers also all gained weight several times.

The way everyone looked at Li Ang was no different from looking at their biological father.

Everyone deeply understands that war is wealth...

…

Li Ang came to Lion City again.

This time, he is no longer alone, the strong men of Mettenheim are waiting for him at the Königsallee.

Lion City still looks clean and tidy, but a little deserted.

It's probably because many merchants are out of stock, and many shops on the street are closed.

The palace of the Lion Kingdom looks quite grand - it is a huge castle that is said to have "brilliance that shines all over the land, and its presence makes people look up to it."

The castle has eight floors and is considered majestic and towering. It is located on the south side of the Lion City, with the Sava River outside the city wall.

It is probably only a few meters shorter than the former Noble House Tower in the center of Lion City.

However, in Li Ang's view, this is just a larger castle, and there is nothing surprising in nature.

The only difference is that this big castle is full of gold.

There are golden lion emblems on the outer wall, red gold lion flags hanging everywhere, and golden winter camellias planted everywhere - perhaps these are used to replace iris flowers in winter.

In the palace, there must be flowers blooming all year round.

Inside the castle, there are golden domes, golden chandeliers, and various golden utensils...

Even the door handle is gold.

If it weren't for the need to identify the position of the door handle, I'm afraid the entire door panel would have been made gold - a golden lion has already been ironed out on the door.

I don’t know why King Ulric likes gold so much - even his armor is gold, and he is not afraid of being shot by the enemy’s concentrated fire on the battlefield.

The corridor of the palace is very grand, and even the red carpet under your feet has gold edges.

After Li Ang entered the throne room with the imperial decree, he almost tripped over the long carpet - the carpet in the corridor was made of velvet, but it was very thick and the soles of his feet could sink in quite a bit.

But in the throne room, there was no carpet.

There are very few people in the throne room, probably His Majesty the King does not like to face too many people at the same time.

Unlike the gold that is everywhere in other places, the throne room looks quite simple.

The high dome is engraved with various sculptures of gods, most of which are stories related to Eunomia. They are just ordinary stone sculptures without gorgeous decorations.

There are two huge pillars in the hall, standing on both sides of the throne.

The pillars are just like the stone itself, but the carving is very exquisite. The legend of the late King Kavala is carved on the pillars, which looks quite lifelike.

The throne in the middle looks to be made of silver, and the backrest is designed to look like a sword and the two wings of a sword.

King Ulric was sitting on the throne, and from a distance it looked like a pair of silver wings sprouted from his side.

Li Ang stepped forward.
Chapter completed!
