Chapter 300 The smoke is rising

After the plan for complete unification went bankrupt due to the armed interference of the Mammoth Kings, the Tusk Queen, and many second-rate forces at the border, Kessel, the Warrior High Priest and the King of the Rhine Kingdom, took the next best option and chose the throne.

Through the parliamentary system, through the division of power, he reluctantly gathered the governance power of the Rhineland into the royal city;

Yes, it is gathered in the royal city, not directly attributed to himself.

In fact, Kessel is favored by the 'brave men', but since Father God almost never interferes in internal politics, the role of this 'favor' is limited to 'dear' and 'obvious'

's obedience';

However, with the strength of himself and his brothers, he can only be an "enemy of a hundred people" in front of the core citizens. He is still far from being an "enemy of a thousand people" or even an "enemy of ten thousand people". He cannot truly transcend.

Kessel's individual restrictions and restraints are not enough to crush the mistresses and mistresses of the fourteen clans.

Therefore, today’s Kessel is more like the ‘Great Mother Queen’ than a ‘king’, and his rule over the kingdom is actually exercised based on the strength of the royal city;

However, the strength of the royal city is based on nearly a quarter of the population of the old fourteen clans and nearly half of the core citizens;

And it is this comprehensive strength advantage possessed by the royal city that is the key to the existence of the 'King' and the establishment of the 'Kingdom' despite external interference.

And his rule over the royal city, even with the bonus of his special status, was still inseparable from the political endorsement of the matrons under the influence of traditional inertia.

Moreover, without being able to 'directly object', the Grand Matrons temporarily focused their attention on the excellent genetic factors he carried;

So to a certain extent, it can also be said that Kessel’s throne was ‘sleeped out’

This 'sleeping' throne naturally has its limitations, so today's fourteen matrons hold multiple identities such as 'princesses', 'shamans', and 'traditional leaders', and they also hold many real powers in the royal city.

, and huge wealth such as slaves;

And past experiences have also made Kessel clearly understand that today's "allies" are actually the real "enemies". They are by no means a help in the plan, but a deep-rooted constraint.

However, their status as 'born heroes' and their father's favor prevented them from directly opposing him openly, and their actions in secret were limited in scale and could not pose a real threat to him.

Therefore, the current situation has formed a biased stalemate. The matrons have no choice but to choose "conspiracy" and "bow down";

Kessel, on the other hand, used 'legitimacy' to seek the stability of his position, and when the matrons spread the news of 'eternal royal family', he also used this as a bargaining chip to attract and divide people in a subtle way.

The thoughts of the great matrons;

For example, promising them the status of 'queen' and promising that the child between him and one of them will become the heir to the throne in the future.

This was actually not his original plan. He once wanted to attack from the foundation, unite forces from the periphery, and use force to directly overthrow the old era;

But during the trip, Kessel discovered the hidden dangers of doing so.

The two Mammoth Kings and the Fang Queen will never give him that time, and a thorough 'revolution' born of blood and fire will only allow them to find real opportunities;

Once the Bloody One and the Sanctuary start a "war of gods" and the power of God the Father is dragged down, then our own side, which is in chaos, will most likely be doomed by the combination of the two powers.

Therefore, he chose top-down change.

Fortunately, now it can be regarded as condensing the power of the population to a certain extent. Therefore, although he feels a little regretful, Kessel also admits that this situation will be maintained in the medium term.

What he has to do next is to wait for an opportunity to launch a war, win, and lead his compatriots to obtain more wealth and slaves, thereby expanding his prestige, and then step by step abolish the chieftaincy and clan systems.

And he has no intention of going back on his promise to the mistresses. He is even happy to see it, and is promoting their fight for the 'fruit'. It would be better if they can fight to the death.

~~~~~~~~

Under the deliberate guidance of thoughtful ‘people’, the establishment of the Far East Alliance did not ultimately become a ‘short-term secret’ as they expected;

On the contrary, in a relatively short period of time, it was widely known to everyone, and therefore, after only half a month passed, there was a meeting at the outer edge of the three forces of Mammoth Country, Rhine Country, and Fang Country.

to be unfolded;

During the meeting, the three parties who had been at war with each other a few years ago first symbolically eliminated their hatred, and then agreed on the regulations for the use of troops in the Far East.

As a result, a large amount of food, grass and weapons were continuously sent to the east from the buffer zone south of the Fang Kingdom and north of the Mammoth Kingdom.

Under the strong promotion of the new king, the Rhine Kingdom also participated in this operation.

The extremely wealthy warehouse was opened, and the food that had been collected according to the rules from the tribes and slave tribes with a population of hundreds of millions over the years was moved out by the truckload;

They will be transported eastward in groups by millions of slaves whose food intake is strictly restricted, to the territory adjacent to the Mammoth Kingdom.

These grains will not be sent directly to the war zone, but will be delivered to the two kingdoms in batches and entered into their warehouses;

In exchange, the two kingdoms will also open their grain depots in the Eastern Sanctuary Governorate to deliver food to the front lines nearby.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Rhineland air cavalry set out from the royal capital and headed east, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of high-level slave warriors and more nomadic subordinates who carried almost all their property.

They will head to the east first, and be responsible for establishing a series of forts with ancestral altars, camps, material turnover warehouses, temporary pastures, and even farmland along the way from the border to the far east, and then wait for the arrival of the main force.

And in the same month that the 'Pioneer' set off, some subordinate tribes and slaves in the country were forced to go eastward for nomadic herding and farming. They were asked to establish settlements in the area east of the royal city and up to the border, and shoulder the responsibility for the main force in the country in the future.

The task of supplying grain and fodder within the territory.

After dispatching the warriors responsible for supervision, Kessel once again launched a national conscription. He called on the warriors from the clans inside and outside the royal city to bravely participate in the battle, and as a result, a large number of males began to gather in the royal city;

At the same time, the princesses also sent envoys from all over the country to discuss countermeasures with the matrons of other clans. The result of the discussion was that the females must also find ways to participate in this battle. They cannot fall behind at the beginning of the change.

Go down.

So, after five months passed, a large army gathered in the barracks outside the royal city, consisting of 5,000 core air knights, 80,000 high-level air knights, and 250,000 citizen soldiers, and two-thirds of them

One third is male and one third is female.

This kind of composition of soldiers is actually against the tradition of the population, because females do not go to foreign battlefields, but in fact it is also a kind of protection for fertility;

After all, even if a male warrior can complete sowing countless times in a short period of time, if there are no females, who will give birth?

Therefore, the more dangerous external battles have always been carried out by male warriors, and they are often more aggressive and murderous. In fact, they are not suitable for large-scale occurrence within the central group and in the battles between many clans.

But at this moment, whether it was Kessel who wanted to change, or the matron who wanted to maintain her status, they all chose to recognize it for their own reasons, thus maintaining the result of the recruitment.

Then, the king took the excuse of military training, and the princesses took the excuse of offering sacrifices, and all entered the military camp;

Among them, the former ate and slept with the soldiers every day and night, and competed and practiced fighting all day long;

The latter, led the sisters to act as priests, and began to simultaneously gather military morale through both soft and hard tactics.

In this way, time slowly came to half a year later, and news came from the east.

"The construction of supply points within the country has been completed, and the first two-thirds of the route outside the country has basically been completed." And accompanying the letter was the news that "hundreds of thousands of subordinates and slaves have died as a result."

Regarding the former, Kessel was delighted, and the princesses thought that ‘what should come has come’;

As for the latter, no one cares about it at all, as if it is just a meaningless number, and they are even happy to save food and fodder consumption because of it.

All in all, a grand war sacrifice took place in the royal city afterwards.

And when the atmosphere of the sacrifice reached its peak, Kessel first announced the decision to "conquer personally" on the spot, and then the great matrons who were not willing to lag behind said that they would continue to accompany the army as war shamans, and would recruit a total of

More than 100,000 prostitutes and slaves worked in the army, and 300,000 war slaves served in the army.

Thus, a mighty expedition that almost spanned the entire continent began, trampling on the bones of subordinates and slaves.

~~~~~~

When the main force of the Rhine Kingdom had already set off for several months, the Fang Queen Kingdom in the north also produced a 'winner' amidst the bloody storms;

The current queen and the eighteenth princess, who was born from an unknown person, finally stood out and became the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force;

For this reason, the other princesses had dark faces, followed certain rules, and reluctantly took out a large amount of wealth, slaves, and faces, and the soldiers who were about to go on an expedition also swore allegiance to the commander-in-chief.

The eighteenth princess became rich overnight, but the difficulties she faced were far more than that, because the sisters at the back, even the mother who sat on the throne, and the sisters who would grow up in the future would use all kinds of methods.

Various reasons are used against oneself in the dark.

'But it doesn't matter, I am the most insidious and ruthless one! I will return with victory, then kill my mother and sisters with my own hands, and become the new queen in the eyes of the bloody ones!'

After making such a determination, the eighteenth princess, who was nearly four meters tall and looked particularly strong, took her nearly a hundred relatively thin faces and set off under the happy eyes of the bloody lady.

~~~~~~~~~

In the middle of the continent, the Mammoth Kingdom, which is also preparing to go on an expedition, appears to be much more normal. There is absolutely no good show to watch here.

Under the silent attention of the patrons, and under the concerted orders of the two kings, the many patron governor-general areas within the territory were responsible for providing money and food, and those responsible for sending troops were responsible for sending troops, and soon four million patron militia troops were gathered in the east. ;

At the same time, 5,000 altar guards and 50,000 royal city guards also set off from the border center and headed for the eastern front under the leadership of their respective heroic commanders;

And on the other side, the Southern Protection Governor-General also carried out a very effective campaign against the wolves, and the exploration team headed for the continental wall also initially entered the mountains.

What will greet them will be wolves, black saber-toothed beasts, tamed mountain monsters, and 'electromagnetic flying monsters' disguised by sky and sky druids;

Therefore, it is still unclear how many members of this exploration team will be able to return alive in the end, and it is also unclear how much energy the two kings will be able to devote to the exploration of the south amid the upcoming turmoil in the northern continent.

~~~~~~~~

Outside the planet, the fifth-level witch doctors were in the celestial spacecraft, paying close attention to everything happening on the continent from beginning to end.

When the Rhine Kingdom became agitated due to the war, even though the war did not actually start, but only progressed to the preparation stage;

However, as the hearts of the Rhine people began to collectively shift towards war, their common will set off waves in the limited area that could not be ignored.

Under the "sight" of the witch doctors, the glory of the brave warrior showed an unprecedented solidification trend inside, and countless altar flames moved closer to the "lighthouse" that represented it.

Inside, the bunch of strings began to gather into a mysterious picture, and inside it faintly showed the representation of a domain centered on a giant winged lion.

It stands in blood and fire, with countless broken blades beneath its feet, the ruins of a majestic city, and the bodies of the war dead;

Rhine-like heroes formed and dissipated around them one by one. They seemed to be upright species walking on two legs, but sometimes they turned into winged flying griffins or four-legged lions. constantly changing between the two forms
