My magic can merge

Chapter 13 The Crusaders

Merck lay on the big bed in the bedroom in the castle, covered himself with a quilt, and wrapped himself up with only one head exposed.

Just like a big silkworm chrysalis.

But I have to say that the bed is quite soft, and there is a deep pit where Merck is lying, and it is extremely comfortable to lie on, amazing!

He has already begun to indulge in the noble life, who doesn't like being served by others when he is an uncle.

Drinking small wine and serving canned meat every day, Merck is almost at a loss.

Just as Merck's thoughts were wandering, the communication crystal in the bedroom suddenly lit up.

The originally transparent crystal instantly turned blood red, exuding a rich dark red radiance.

This is a signal for emergency communication!Note 1
Merck didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly held the crystal with his hand, feeling the energy image conveyed inside.

Energy particles are flying in the room, gradually forming a dynamic picture, and it is also equipped with a voice package.

Earl Anika's expression was very anxious, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the cane in his hand kept tapping the ground, his uneasiness was palpable.

When he felt that Merck accepted the communication request, he said to Merck:
"There is a group of rebels in the empire who are making trouble everywhere. This force is especially rampant in the Keremu Province, and it has already caused great damage to the place."

"For some reason, this group of rebels seems to have planned it in advance, and they all sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and there are a lot of them."

"I order you to lead the territorial army to wipe out the rebels around the town of Noril, and try to capture as many prisoners as possible. I will ask what is going on."

"The defeat of the imperial war has caused panic in the country. As nobles, we should set an example and restore the peace of the empire."

Originally, the front was quite normal, but Merck almost couldn't hold back his laughter in the last sentence.

With a fat face like a traitor, he said it so righteously, he probably didn't believe it himself.

Isn't it just putting a high hat on me, seeing that I am young and easy to cheat, and the verbal rewards are pulled down.

He also wants the horse to run, but refuses to let the horse graze, which is a typical behavior without a horse.

Merck made a helpless expression and spread his hands.

"My lord, as you know, Noril Town even has insufficient troops to defend the town. How can there be any extra soldiers to suppress the bandits?"

"And you are far-sighted, and you won't listen to the words of the werewolf?"

"The armistice agreement can only be tentative, and it will definitely not be dismantled for three years."

"There must be a battle between us and the werewolves, and the racial dispute can only end with the extermination of one party."

"The town of Noril is now an important border town. Once the werewolves take advantage of the gap in defense, the northern gate of the empire will be wide open, and it will be difficult to resist the werewolf army."

Annika scolded Merk in her heart, I can't fight the rebels without even mentioning the strength of the rebel army?

But he is also beyond his reach, and he can only rely on his nobles to completely wipe out the rebels in the territory. The existence of the rebels will greatly shake his rule.

It seems that there will be no more blood.

"Even Lord Marquis's financial resources are already stretched, let alone me as a little earl."

"But I can't let these thieves continue to shake the rule of the empire, even if I sell the iron, the empire is already riddled with holes and cannot withstand such devastation."

"How about this, I will allocate two hundred gold coins, ten war horses and a lot of food for you. I don't want any more. This is already the limit of what I can give."

"Tomorrow, I will send my captain of the guard to send it to you. With the blessing of magic equipment, it will probably arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Merke, you are a sensible child, I hope you can understand my difficulties."

Merck also knew that he would accept as soon as it was good, and he could actually withhold a little more profit from the Earl.

But that would only turn against Anika, which is really unwise.

After all, in theory, the town of Noril is also part of Annika's fiefdom.

"I understand, Earl. Tomorrow, I will send troops to look for traces of the rebels. I will definitely kill all the bandits around and dedicate their heads to your account."

Annika was obviously satisfied, and praised Merck for free.

Anyway, boasting does not cost money!

After closing the communication crystal, Merck fell into memory.

Merchants seek profit, and there are many smugglers on the border who use gold coins to pry open the gate of the guards, and transport prohibited items to the werewolf tribe in exchange for high gold rewards.

It includes not only food, energy crystals, but also weapons and women.

Werewolves are so poorly crafted that their superior weapons can only be purchased, and this high demand keeps the price of superior weapons on the black market high.

As a result, the merchants became even crazier, and more and more weapons were resold. This is one of the reasons why the empire's front line against werewolves has become weaker and weaker over the years.

And selling the women of the empire is an important part of the wolf king's plan to invade the empire. The wolf king named it the eclipse plan.

First of all, werewolves have part of the blood of the human race, and the children born by mating with the women of the human race are no different from normal people under the magical blessing of the wolf priest.

These children have been indoctrinated with hatred for humans since they were young, and their loyalty to the wolf king and the werewolf clan has been engraved into their souls and become a brand.

And they have inherited the agility and strength of the werewolves, which makes them even better.

But more children have become monsters who are neither human nor ghost under the violent magic.

These surviving "lucky ones" were sent into the empire to hide, as moles to steal the empire's information and destroy the empire's economy.

The empire has also taken many targeted measures, but with little effect.

After hundreds of years of infiltration, today's empire is riddled with holes and leaks everywhere. Even the emperor's son is a werewolf. How ironic.

These rebels are called the Crusaders, and their slogans are against the oppression of the aristocracy, and everyone is equal.

A lot of passionate youths were fooled into participating, and they once became the empire's confidantes, and until the empire's demise, this force still existed.

But the sad thing is that the leaders of these rebels are all members of the werewolf clan, and this uprising was just wishful thinking of these civilians from beginning to end.

It's just a joke.

But Merck will definitely prevent this from happening, and there will be eggs under the overturned nest.

The empire is destroyed, and his fate will not be very good, especially since he is still a noble mage, and he is the first choice target of werewolves.

Maybe he will be dissected by the werewolf priests to study his magic energy structure.

He needs to become strong in a short period of time and at the same time accelerate the development of the territory to fight future battles.

Note 1: The intensity of the red color of the communication crystal represents the importance of the matter discussed, and the communication crystal will only light up when chatting about family affairs.
