Chapter 72: It’s too early to live, and the old monster comes to Novice Village
“Brother Sissi, did you get up so early?”
The bright future is in front of you, is Horn’s mood better? Young Master, his whole person changed from his previous indifference, and even became a little too cheerful.
"Haha, I drank too much last night and got up a little late. Remember to wake me up if I doze off, hahaha."
Sissi had a look of disgust on her face. Smiling steadily, he said politely: "You are so funny."
"Are everyone here?"
"Everyone is here." Armand, who was in charge of counting, said.
“Come on, brother Sissi, there are no outsiders here, let’s talk freely if you have anything to say.”
Looking at the people sitting around, Sissi closed her eyes first, almost It opened after two seconds:
"Everyone, I'm afraid I have to tell you some bad news, that is, almost all the routes leading to Black Snake Bay are currently impassable."
Horn, who was leaning lazily on the chair, seemed to have a spring on the back of the chair. He went from leaning back to leaning forward: "I don't understand. What does this mean?"
" Like you, I'm trapped in the Qianhe River Valley." Sissi spread her hands, "The entire Qianhe River Valley Secret Party either evacuated or went into seclusion. Those routes were either destroyed by floods or were destroyed before they were evacuated. "
"Why? Why did all the secret parties evacuate? "
"Yes and no." Sissi glanced at the people present and seemed to be thinking. How to explain this to this group of people with the highest diploma in elementary school.
Later, he simply gave up, stared directly at Horn and said, "Do you know why there will be floods this year?"
"Is it related to the church?" Horn quickly grasped the key.
Sissi laughed: "I just like to talk to smart people, not to praise you smart people.
In the upper reaches of the Nauan River, near the gravel fields, there is an Innocent The dam, or Joan's dam, was built during the reign of Pope Joan, but was not officially completed until the time of Pope Innocent. Our hedge weir is also a gift from this dam
You must know that before this, Qianhe River Valley experienced three years of drought and two years of floods. After the dam, there was only one flood every ten or twenty years.
Last year, in order to win over the nobles and bishops of the four northern territories, His Majesty the Pope rebuilt the Joan Dam, hoping that it could divert part of the water to the water-scarce north. However, this year it collapsed. "
Horn's face immediately turned ugly. This kind of plot could not be more typical, and he had already realized what would happen next.
Everyone is responsible for this, no one People will be responsible for this.
"The cardinals, led by Grandivar, began to criticize the pope's selfish behavior because he was from the north.
The Pope, in turn, said that the dam was dug by people sent by Grandivoire.
This great flood also affected the five golden collars downstream. The nobles complained and the French gloated about their misfortune. "
Leaning back in the chair, Horn rubbed his temples. He knew that the Pope's side must want to put out the fire quickly, while the Grandivar side must want to suppress the fire.
No wonder, No wonder, even if there were mobs and robbers after the flood, it wouldn't have fermented so quickly
And the feud between Juanno and Constance had been going on for more than ten or twenty years, so how could it suddenly explode?
>
It turns out that there are some invisible hands stirring up the abyss.
But the small fish and shrimps on the surface of the abyss can't see anything, they only know that an undercurrent is coming, and they will all be shattered to pieces.
"This is the first question, and the second question is the internal crisis of the Kingdom of Leia." Sissi took out a map of the empire from her arms and spread it on the table.
“Our king, the old King Tormund Ghis of the Kingdom of Leia, is 72 years old this year. There are a total of 42 command companies in the Kingdom of Leia, Prince Condai controls 9, and Old King Tormund Mastered 13, Prince Yingbeira mastered 4, and two royal dukes, one mastered 6 and the other 10.
As for their disputes, let me just say this. Except for Prince Condai, everyone else is eligible to inherit.
And if we really want to talk about it, Prince Kong Dai is a descendant of the previous royal family, so he is also qualified.
But Tormund wanted to pass the throne to his biological youngest son Genigis, and he did not want to divide the kingdom. "
Speaking of this, the entire Buck Room was silent.
"But what does this have to do with us? "Madelan couldn't help but said.
Ignoring Madeleine, Sissi just stared at Horn. He knew that Horn could understand.
“Behind the empire are the Aiel people. They need a stable Thousand River Valley to facilitate their plundering profits.
King Tormund Ghis of the Kingdom of Leia is approaching his twilight years and hopes The throne can be handed over normally, and no accidents occur.
The people in the church hope that the incident in Qianhe Valley will not explode the conflict between Grandivar and the Pope."
"These. They are all the fundamental factors of the matter." Sissi pointed at the high castle on the map helplessly, "Many people don't realize it, but they know one thing."
"What?"
"Prince Condai, the Lion Knight, has come to the Thousand Valleys with nine companies of orders."
"Only nine companies of orders..." who accompanied Madeleine Bunian sneered disdainfully.
Glancing at Bunian in surprise, Sissi asked puzzledly: "Do you think it is few? That is 900 edict knights, 900 square flag knights, and 900 squire knights, and The number of accompanying 5,000 infantrymen is greater than the population of your small Papal State.”
Madeleine blushed and slapped Bunian, warning him not to talk nonsense.
“To avoid the dispute over the royal succession?” Horn asked.
"Yes." Sissi said with a wry smile, "Prince Condai's great-grandfather's throne was overthrown by the nobles of the Kingdom of Leia. They will not let another golden bird fall on the Libra Crown. .
So Prince Kong Dai knew that he had no chance. After claiming that he had no interest in the throne, he came to Qianhe Valley with the order in the name of suppressing the pagan rebellion. "
Horn felt his throat was a little dry: "Does that mean..."
"The one named Bonnard." Sissi stood up. "He told me that Prince Condai's first stop was the Castle. He learned martial arts here in his youth, and it was half of his hometown."< br>
Horn stretched out on the chair.
Not only Horn, but everyone fell into a deathly silence.
That's 2,700 knights. Even if Horn appoints everyone under his command as a command company, they will not be the enemy of the opponent.
The most important thing is that the new official has three things to do when he takes office. He has just wiped out nearly a hundred church troops here, and he is simply sticking his head out to let the other party hit him.
"Is there a possibility..." Not a drop of saliva left Horn's throat.
“Impossible.” Sissi shook her head and said, “You are the largest group of rebels near the High Castle. According to the news released by Bishop Barneyforth, there are tens of thousands of you.
No matter how he thinks about it, Prince Condai must take care of you first. Even if he is not the first, he will definitely be in the top five. ”
