ps: Fixed the distance bug of crystal communication in Chapter 649, and fixed the description bug of recruiting props in Chapter 664.
———————————
Zong Shen kept the situation of the territory in mind.
From the time he came to the present, the most emotional thing for every lord should be his own territory.
It was a home that I built brick by brick.
Zong Shen is naturally no exception.
To him, the territory is a harbor in another world and a deep sense of security.
Unfortunately, his [Crystal Communication Tower] can only communicate within a range of 1,000 kilometers.
The communication distance has been exceeded here, and he cannot use crystal communication.
In the future, efforts must be made to establish large-scale communication means.
Because this feeling of disconnection is still very uncomfortable.
Zong Shen thought as he fell into the forest.
I randomly found a big tree, released the mimicry of [Illusive Mask], returned to my human body, leaned lazily against the big tree, took out dry food from the storage compartment, and started to eat.
He planned to rest here for a while and after killing a few hours, it was time to open the portal and return to the territory.
…
At the same time, on the Bass Highlands, more than 17,000 kilometers away from the cypress forest.
Here stands a huge fortress-shaped city called Ax Castle.
Its scale is larger than the Wolf Fang Castle on the border. Giant towers hundreds of meters high surround the entire fortress, and there are towers of different heights standing among them.
Outside the giant city, there are scattered strong battle fortresses and towers.
Almost the entire perimeter of the giant city was defended.
Several broad avenues extend in all directions.
There are a large number of farmers and traveling traders coming and going on every road.
There is also a huge moat about five to six hundred meters wide around the Ax Castle.
Sharpened wooden stakes were densely inserted along the river bank, and a large number of defensive equipment were also placed as one of the defense lines of the fortress.
There are city gates in four directions and giant pontoons that can be pulled up.
There are some ferocious and terrifying fish swimming in the moat.
The river is churning and rolling.
This moat is not connected to the main Liujin River in the Kingdom of Nord, but forms its own water system with surrounding tributaries and lakes, which can also be regarded as a source of living water.
At this time, in the central castle of Sharp Ax Castle.
King Ragnar is summoning the Lord of Ax Castle, Marquis Nicol of the Lodbrok family, in the secret room.
He is a close member of the Lodbrok family.
It is also an alternative safe location for King Ragnar to urgently transmit runes.
Sharp Ax Fort is the fortress with the most powerful defensive capabilities within tens of thousands of kilometers.
It sits on the Bath Highlands and, together with other border fortresses in the southern part of the kingdom, forms an impenetrable border buffer zone.
It can be regarded as one of the defense node cities in the southern region of the Nord Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't expect Queen...Sandina to dare to do something evil to you!"
"She will be the first queen in thousands of years to try to murder a king!"
"I will immediately send a message to the giant cities controlled by the family in various parts of the kingdom!"
Marquis Nicole Lodbrok bowed seriously and said.
King Ragnar sat on a chair in the secret room, his expression as calm as water.
"Um."
"Fort Ax will enter a state of martial law with immediate effect."
"Confirm the reserves of the granary, collect food supplies in a timely manner, and prepare for war mobilization."
"Inform Grand Duke Judson Lodbrok, Grand Duke Croft Lodbrok, and Grand Duke Dryden Lodbrok to issue a proclamation of the kingdom in my name and declare war on the Trevaxin family.
At the same time, the three major imperial cities are under full martial law, and all fortresses and giant cities are under full martial law!"
"And require all the giant cities, states, villages, and settlements controlled by the Trivasin family to surrender to the forces controlled by the nearby Lodbrok family, and hand over the traitor Sandina Trivasin
!”
"The neutral nobles immediately go to the Sageson Imperial City to swear the oath of their ancestors!"
"Violators will be punished as treason!"
"In the next few days, I will stay at the Ax Castle. The giant city army, city defense army, and knights in the city will be taken over by me personally!"
The Kingdom of Ragnar begins to convey its will.
He has decided to break this ugly and fragile peace!
Marquis Nicole Lodbrok quickly bowed again and left the secret room.
Head to the Messaging Tower of Fort Ax!
This is the information transmission center of the giant city, equipped with a variety of communication methods.
Including communication crystals, homing pigeons, blade-winged falcons, magic book pages, etc.
The fastest among them are communication crystals and magic book pages.
The former is magic energy communication technology, and the latter is the principle of magic synchronization.
As long as you write the relevant content on the magic book page, the exact same content will appear on another magic book page thousands of kilometers away.
It usually has subordinate state cities and giant cities for emergency help.
The range is only a few thousand kilometers.
The most efficient one is the communication crystal.
As a royal family group, the Lodbrok family naturally has its own communication system.
Through Ax Castle, Ragnar's orders can be conveyed quickly.
In the secret room, Ragnar Lodbrok's expression was always calm.
After successfully escaping, he became distraught.
"Whether it's the Trevoisin family."
"It's still the curse of the era that made the ancestors awed."
"Be prepared to face the lion's wrath!"
Ragna roared suppressedly and clenched his fists involuntarily!
…
In the teleportation base of Sageson Imperial City.
Sandina walked into the teleportation stronghold with her trusted guards and maids.
Due to the sequential transmission of information, Sandina received the news earlier than the Imperial City.
As the main imperial city of the Kingdom of Nord, the teleportation base here is extremely large.
It occupies a fairly small area.
There are about dozens of teleportation arrays of different levels and different paths.
When necessary, it can accommodate 100,000 people for transmission and transfer at the same time.
Guarding here are the Sargeson Royal 2nd Regiment and the Sargeson Honor Regiment.
There are a total of 24,000 people, all of whom belong to the elite regiments of the Nord Kingdom.
To be continued...
