Chapter 341 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop
In the letter, Anna expressed her longing for Roger and her desire to be with him as always. But in addition to these sentimental words of love, Anna also told Roger some shocking news.
The recent movements of the barbarians in the Changhan Peak in the north of the kingdom are very unusual. They have migrated two hundred miles south, and their range of activities is very close to the border. The military suspects that these barbarians have attempts to invade the kingdom, and has urgently sent troops to the north for reinforcements.
.
Almost at the same moment, a serious conflict broke out between the border guards on the southern border of the kingdom and the coalition forces from several desert countries in the south. The two sides had reached the level of formal war. The southern border guards were originally only second-rate troops, in terms of weapons and equipment.
The training was insufficient, and in the face of repeated defeats by coalition attacks from several countries, the commander of the Southern Army had urgently requested help from the capital.
A large number of the kingdom's troops were at Linton Pass to guard against the attack of the undead army, and the remaining troops were sent to Changhan Peak in the north. There were no troops left to fight in the south. So Alonso III has decided to mobilize various troops.
The lord's army went to the south for reinforcements and handed over the specific matters to the Minister of War, Vattel.
Anna finally mentioned in the letter that the north and south of the kingdom had been in peace for a long time. This time a crisis broke out at the same time. It was probably Wattle's deliberate move. If this was the case, there would definitely be a list of lords for this southern expedition.
Roger's name was mentioned. The Duke's daughter repeatedly reminded Roger to pay attention to safety on the battlefield. It is very likely that Vattle would use this opportunity to get rid of this thorn in his side through the hands of the enemy.
The feeling that this letter brought to Roger can definitely be described as "ice and fire". Anna's deep affection and deep concern made Roger very useful, but the lingering threat of Vatel made him feel uncomfortable.
Getting more and more angry. Roger has secretly made up his mind that this matter has nothing to do with him. If it is really Vattel's conspiracy against him again, he must make a complete break with this guy.
This time, the Supreme God did not seem to be on Roger's side. A few days later, a messenger came to Kent Town, not only bringing him an invitation from King Alonso III to invite the lords to attend the New Year's Ball, but also brought him
The order from the military department requires Roger to lead the soldiers from the territory and go directly to the southern border after the New Year's Ball to support the local army in guarding the country as the vanguard of the Lord's Army.
Roger sent the messenger away with a smile, and then summoned his confidants to his study for a meeting. Roger didn't have to hide his emotions in front of Bonnie and others, he slapped the table and got angry: "Walter, this damn bastard, really wants to target me again.
Come on! If you don’t completely overthrow Vattel in the capital this time, I will take you to the Pirate Island together and never come back to suffer this guy’s anger again!”
"It's time to give him something powerful!" The grumpy Chris was the first to agree: "Otherwise he will only become more and more presumptuous!"
"I also agree with what Chris said." This time even the mature and prudent Phil agreed to fight back, but he did not forget to remind Roger: "But you must be absolutely sure."
Only Bonnie thought the most, frowning and saying to herself: "Why would Watter target you like this? I really can't think of a reason for him to do this!"
"Whatever!" Roger finally made the decision: "I have to kill this guy no matter what method I use this time, otherwise I will never live a peaceful life!"
Now that Roger has made his decision, others will naturally say nothing more. According to Roger's arrangement, Bonnie and the other three knights still stay in the territory to take charge of the overall situation. Of course, Lisa cannot follow him to the dangerous battlefield. Only Su
Fia followed Roger to the capital first, and then directly to the southern battlefield.
Of course, Roger will leave a group of soldiers to guard Kent Town. Coupled with the growing size of the garrison, which looks more and more like a regular army, as long as there are not a large number of enemies attacking the town, security can be completely guaranteed.
In fact, Roger originally planned to keep Sophia. With her in charge in the town, he would have no worries at all. However, considering that this trip to the capital is likely to have a head-on fight with Vattel, there are
It is much more reliable to have such a terrifying helper by your side, so Roger decided to take Sophia with him.
Both Bonnie and Lisa were envious of Sophia being able to stay with Roger, but Sophia herself was reluctant to go. As the weather got colder and colder, the dragon girl became more inactive and spent every day
Hiding in her warm room and sleeping soundly, sometimes she wouldn't even come out to eat.
This is of course not that Sophia is really that lazy, but that the dragons are like this in winter and don’t like to have too many activities. As the most powerful race in the Toulonzo world, the dragons are not actually like the legend.
They become sluggish in winter. In fact, they just fall asleep and never wake up. They just hate the cold weather and just want to stay in a warm lair. If necessary, the dragons will still become like summer.
Just as brave, delivering a fatal blow to the invading enemy.
Of course, Roger would not let Sophia be lazy, but told her that after the New Year, the coldest weather in the north of the kingdom is coming. And he will go to the warm south, where the desert climate is warm, even in winter.
It was just as hot as summer. The warm weather immediately moved Sophia, and she finally agreed to set off with Roger.
So after several days of preparation, Roger and the reluctant Sophia summoned a team of more than 200 soldiers to fill the facade, boarded the Queen Mary and sailed upstream along the Tula River towards the
The capital Mandos City advances.
On the way, Roger was thinking about a question that bothered him: Why would Vettel target him so obviously, as if there was some deep hatred between the two parties that could not be resolved. In the past few days, Roger had been unable to think of a reason for this.
Later, it was not until the Queen Mary approached the city of Mandos that Roger, who had recalled everything he had encountered since arriving in the world of Toulonzo, suddenly realized.
"The most powerful force that my brother has offended is the undead creatures. If Vattel hates me so much, it is very likely that he has something to do with these guys." Standing outside the Tula River, Roger said to himself: "Maybe this guy
Just like that fat businessman Marcus, it’s possible that he himself is an undead creature in disguise!”
"You are so annoying, no matter if this guy is an undead creature or not!" Sophia, who was lying on the bed, said disapprovingly: "When the time comes, I will spray him with dragon breath and turn him into a pile of ashes!"
Sophia's words made Roger shake his head and he had nothing to say to this violent woman.
However, this test also gave Roger more choices in how to deal with Vattel. When the Queen Mary sailed past the cathedral outside Mandos, Roger specifically ordered the ship to dock and wait in the church.
After a long time, I came back excitedly and moved on.
Not far ahead, the towering walls of Mandos City were clearly visible.
