Blood Dragon

Chapter 130 Preparing for the Eighth Battle

"Her name seems to be Rodia." Someone replied.

"Whose daughter?" asked the Prime Minister, frowning. "Or whose wife?"

"It seems..." Several ministers exchanged glances with each other, and finally one of them spoke. "She is also a commoner without any titles, titles or titles."

"Then why is she by Her Majesty's side?"

"We don't know, she was introduced by Master Ashuruffat. What we can know is that she is a native of Falcon City. With the introduction of Master Ashuruffat, she is temporarily serving as the queen's... governess .”

"Ridiculous!" Marquis Alyn let out a voice of hatred. "How could that kid..."

"After all, he is a newly appointed nobleman." Someone sighed. "As an upstart, it's easy to understand doing this kind of thing."

"Hmph, no wonder Her Majesty dismissed him as Chancellor of the Exchequer."[

"However, due to his previous loyalty in the rebellion, he still has a lot of influence on Her Majesty the Queen," someone said. "And I worry, maybe he hasn't fallen out of favor. And, that Ashurfat..."

"What?" Elaine asked.

"He is a... frightening person." The one who spoke showed a lingering fear expression. "He gives people the feeling...not quite like an ordinary human, but more like... more like... Well, I can't describe it, but it always gives me the feeling that he is not a human being. And the middle layer below also treats him Very scared...because of that."

"It's that rumor about not sleeping for a month?" Ailin naturally scoffed at such absurd remarks. "I'm afraid it's just a show deliberately designed by our Earl Ashurfat. It's probably like a street juggler. It's just a performance, and it can't be taken seriously."

"Anyway," said Prime Minister Ellynn. "At present, I can only ask my colleagues to bear with this matter. Your Majesty should consider this matter as a transitional period... Although I don't know why..."

"Is it related to debts? According to rumors from various places, it seems that we owe... a very large amount of debt. Now, except for the Queen and Earl Ashrufat, I am afraid that people know how much money is left in the treasury."

"...This shouldn't be the key point. After the queen goes out... As the prime minister, I will definitely know the details..."

"Huh...huh...Master Alyn, the queen is going to war? Is this true? I thought it was a rumor..." A person interrupted Prime Minister Alyn in surprise.

"Of course it is true. Last time Her Majesty the Queen mentioned this to me personally. She will lead the army in person! But the exact time... Well, although she didn't specify, I guess it should be within a month or two Bar."

"It's incredible..." Someone said softly.

……

"I don't know...is it the right choice to appoint Eileen as Prime Minister?" The little girl looked at the back of Marquis Eileen leaving, and replied thoughtfully.

"Well, in my opinion, it's the right choice." Rodia said with a smile.

"Ah, is that so?"

"Well, it should be like this. Because our Prime Minister has already entered the state at the fastest speed." Rodia replied. "Well, he has only been here... for two or three days, right? But now he has gained the approval of many ministers and has become the real prime minister, the head of all ministers. The matter just now... well, I think the prime minister who just arrived in Wangcheng Your Excellency shouldn’t have a news channel to know about this kind of thing, but he did. So someone must have officially informed him of this matter. It was a very official notification, so he came to His Majesty for confirmation at the first time.” [

"This... I remember you said that this is a kind of use. Using other people to do things that they want to do but cannot or dare not do. It should be those who want to get the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer."

"Although there are elements of use, but being able to be used, being recognized as 'one of my own' for the first time, and being able to stand up consciously and actively, these actions in themselves show that our Prime Minister is expected by everyone. Moreover," Luo Diya lightly Lightly tapped the little girl's nose with her hand. "It must be remembered that there is not only one person who wants to be the chancellor of the exchequer, but many. At present, no one can think that Shirley can get out of the exchequer and become the chancellor of the exchequer. So those who informed the prime minister of this matter, It is not for the purpose of becoming the chancellor of the exchequer, but for the purpose of asking the prime minister for rewards, or in other words, showing goodwill."

"Ah, so that's how it is..."

"So, we must look at the essence of the matter. Don't make a mistake." Rodia said with a smile. "Speaking of which, do you know that Ashuruffat's four fiancees... all look like Shirley. Ah, Fana is an exception, but it's not too outrageous."

"Wh...what? You mean, Ashurfat...really..."

"He likes girls who look very young... he likes girls with small breasts." Rodia said seriously.The little girl suddenly remembered what Luo Diya and Shirley had said earlier, she couldn't help but blushed and her heart beat, and she couldn't help lowering her head. "As far as men are concerned, their hobbies are a bit special. But it's not uncommon. So you see, when he looks at me, he never fakes. Speaking of..." She sighed, "It disappoints me .”

"Luo... Rodia, you also like Ashuruffat?" the little girl asked in surprise.

"Why don't you like it? If you are a good man, any woman will like it. Think about it, our Mr. Ashuruffat is a perfect man. Do you think he has any shortcomings?" Luo Diya raised his hand Fingers pointing. "You are young, good-looking, full of energy; you can read and write well, and you can speak decently; besides, you have a lot of wealth and extraordinary bravery; lastly, and most importantly, he is a considerate man."

Rodia looked at the little girl with a grin.Her expression seemed a bit ambiguous, making the little girl lower her head again.

"However, I have stopped thinking about it. He is such an arrogant man, he should despise me." Luo Diya sighed suddenly. "And the famous woman has a master... I also have a bit of my own pride. Although it may be a bit ridiculous, but I may be able to accept other women, but I will never allow myself to be a concubine."

She tapped the table with her hand. "This is the so-called 'fate'."

"That's right," Rodia said to the little girl suddenly. "Do you want to learn the secret of seducing men?"

"Ah... ah... this... this... can... can... learn?"

"I'm your tutor. As long as you want to learn, of course I can teach you anything I know." Rodia said. "Don't forget... Soon, you will have the opportunity to get along with him..."

"Ah, this...does it refer to war?"

"That's right. Didn't Ashurfat say that this time you can't bring any servants and maids, and you have to be like ordinary soldiers regardless of food and lodging... In other words, he will take care of you by himself." Rodia laughed. said.

"This..." Luo Diya's words made the little girl's heart flutter for a while, she didn't dare to think about it any more, and immediately changed the topic. "So, you said that we are going to attack...Will Byron know?"

……

"Sure enough... is that little girl seriously going to do something?" Byron put down the letter and rubbed his forehead with his hands.

"Well, my lord duke, I'm afraid this matter will not come back. Or it can be said that the time is indeed almost up." The subordinate who sent the letter replied respectfully.

"Well, probably when. The intelligence didn't mention that."

"The financial situation of the little queen...should not be very good." The subordinate tried to pick up what the Duke liked to hear, even though more than half a year had passed, the financial crisis and the collapse of the rule they were expecting did not happen at all. "According to what we have, she has to risk a victory, or I'm afraid her debt... can't be honored. If you estimate from the perspective of her debt repayment in the next few months...she will be in two months Send troops within three months, and fight us within three months, and must win."

"That's why she's coming to attack us now." Byron nodded. "Qian donkey is at the end of his skills, so he can only put all his eggs in one basket." He smiled.At last, before his patience ran out, it was over.

"What about the troops she can dispatch?"

"Only the Guards Corps, and a small number of garrison troops in several cities...but considering the situation of Falcon City itself...the maximum number of troops should not exceed 3."

"How many troops do we have?" Byron turned to look at another subordinate.Although he was wearing casual clothes, he could tell that he was a soldier just from his expression and demeanor.

"My lord, you have 7000 troops directly under you. If you can mobilize the troops of other lords... plus mercenaries... remove the necessary rear garrison... you can have [-] troops for you to drive. "

"Sixty thousand, two to one..."

"Other than that, as long as we take a defensive position," the subordinate introduced. "We have two strong castles on the border. We only need to rely on the castles to form a formation that echoes each other...we will be invincible."

Byron nodded.He has no military experience, but he also understands how much advantage these two front-line castles will bring him.

"Very well, then immediately strengthen the defense force of the castle." Byron said. "At the same time, call all those lords and bring all their troops here. Well, you can tell them directly and bring their families to Fornoros City. Let them not have to worry about the territory itself. As long as we win, the territory will naturally I can get it back. If it fails...if even I fail, can they still hold their own territory?"
