Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 106 Vigrich IV (2)

"It's a really good idea, Your Majesty." The diminutive Seal Keeper Bavor Grayhaven praised.Standing with his brother Aldoma Grayhaven, he wore a white silk gown and a black wool cloak, with shaggy black hair, a flat nose, and a goatee. "But Queen Lozaria didn't agree?"

"She agreed." Wigrich said every word, "but she poisoned her dukes and their families after the coronation, arrested or killed them for treason, but the eight dukes Three survived."

"Arrest or kill her dukes? Why?" Udoma Grayhaven, who was wearing a dark brown leather jacket, asked suspiciously.He is quite a bit taller than his brother, but both brothers have similar blue eyes.

"Maybe she wants to use His Majesty's hand to wipe out the big families in the kingdom." Arrowin stroked his beardless chin and said, "Her behavior is tantamount to declaring war on all duchies, and as an ally of the Vivalia Kingdom It is our duty to help them. The Queen is a wise man."

"She's a lunatic." Vigrich refused to acknowledge Lozaria's scheme, "She put the kingdom's safety at risk."

"Your Majesty, where are your children?" Bechar asked hypocritically, "I didn't see them among the people who returned to Madkalin."

Vigrich looked at the spymaster Hagen El Azer in a black cloak and mask, who was listening to the conversation silently with his head down.

Last night they took a boat back to Madkalin in embarrassment, and Di Ya kept urging him to send someone to find Alan by his side. Couldn't she see that he was also in a hurry?But as the emperor of Hastza, he could never show panic on his face, he could not show any expression in front of his subjects and outsiders, this is the majesty he must have as a king.

Vigrich immediately summoned Hagen El Azer and asked him to send someone to the north to inquire about the whereabouts of his sons and bring them back. When he was in the King's Forest, he had asked the chief of the guards, Ega Duo Erman caught up to Chuck and dragged him back, and they should be on their way back by now.

"Zuck will be back soon. Alan got lost with us during the disturbance in King's Forest, but I have already sent someone to look for him." Wigrich replied.

"Where is His Highness Monty?" His high priest cousin shook his head and asked.

"Mondy was taken by the Mosteks of Boneheap."

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Hagen showed surprised expressions.

"The city of bones in the pale wilderness?" Arrowin asked. "That is the westernmost point of the entire Vivaria Kingdom, and the northern end of Dragon's Back Mountain."

"How was he able to be captured?" Bechar asked Vigrich, "What do your personal guards do?" He was ostensibly questioning the abilities of the royal guards, but he was actually questioning Vigerich's authority as emperor.

Vigrich stared into Bechar's brown eyes and heard the meaning behind his cousin's words: "Watch your tone, High Priest." Bechar met his gaze indifferently.

He has never had a good impression of Bechar. This cousin of the high priest has the same annoying sanctimonious attitude as those priests. Like his father, Lou Fried, who disappeared one day and never returned.

"We need to bring His Royal Highness Mundy back," said Lord of the Admiralty Aldoma Grayhaven.

"How to save?" Bechar sighed, "His Royal Highness has been held hostage under the high wall, what price will we have to pay to rescue him? The gold of the entire treasury? Ceded the territory? Or sign some shameful documents?" treaty?"

"The things you are talking about are nothing compared to the life of His Royal Highness Mengdi, High Priest Bechar." Arrowin retorted, "If you can rescue His Royal Highness Mengdi, any price is worth it."

"Your Majesty, I have started the construction of new ships in Grayhaven according to your request. My father, Governor Drogon Grayhaven will personally supervise the entire project."

Odoma reported to him, "If all goes well, we will have a strong fleet in the spring of next year, and then we can head west along the coast of the Black Forest and capture all Coastal cities, forcing their dukes to release them."

"I think we can attack all the way north, capture all the duchies, and approach the city of bone pile."

Gosfried Master suggested. "The armies of Jingpu Province and Dragon's Back Province are ready. If we mobilize the troops of Madkalin Province and the royal guards, we can easily take Fort Erno and open the road to the north. the way."

"It's not necessary." He rebuffed flatly.

Gosfried Master wanted war, Vigerich saw through his military commander, and now that war came, he got his wish and wanted to show his skills.

"Be the first to act first, Your Majesty." Gosfried Master fought hard, "If we capture the southern duchies of Vivalia in the name of helping our allies, the empire can take these territories as its own. Yes, there is no need to hand it over to Queen Lozaria, because the entire Great Plain belongs to us."

"There's no need to rush," Vigrich said. "Hold on until there's more news from the north."

"But……"

"How much do you know about war, Gosfried?" Vigrich asked his military commander. Sol's dry land has been fought, but do you know what a real war is like?

It's not what I read or heard from people's mouths, but what war really looks like.Not just you, everyone in this throne room doesn't know, no one has ever seen what a real battlefield looks like.

But I know what war can do to an empire, and many of you, like me, have seen the burning corpses in Madkalin, the starving citizens facing food shortages, the deserted Fields and markets, empty treasuries...

It took me more than 20 years to restore this empire, and now there is a war, how many years will it take? "

He was worried about handing over the army to his military commander, but he had no better choice. Those who commanded the Southern Expedition were buried like his father. The army of the empire has never been tested.

"The Vivarians and we are both citizens of the stars." Without waiting for Gosfried Master to argue for himself, Bechar said, "Don't forget, our real enemy is in the east, It is also between you and me, the heathen will have a different heart."
