Chapter 558 The Prologue of the Swadia Civil War Begins
Luxurious and grand, the walls are covered with armors of various colors, weapons and equipment, and there are even armor displays supported by armor and weapons in the aisle, which look like guards wearing armor and holding weapons on guard.

This place seems to be a medieval weapon, armor, flag exhibition hall, museum, solemn, quiet, and majestic. The walls full of stones look thick, strong, and have a sense of history.

This is the King's Palace Castle in Pravin.

The tall figures of the guards of the Kingdom of Swadia lined up from the king's throne to the entrance of the hall.

To be honest, it was the first time for Zhang Qiang to enter the king's palace in Palavin.

Compared with the magnificence of this palace, King Harlaus is now like a little old man wearing a gorgeous king's battle robe, without the imagined temperament and majesty that a king should have at all.

Zhang Qiang guessed that this might be because the recent news that Earl Crags supported Lady Aisona made him restless.

Seeing Zhang Qiang, Harolds lazily raised his eyelids, and looked at Zhang Qiang with suspicious and tired eyes.

"Your Majesty, your loyal Earl Lana greets you." Zhang Qiang carefully greeted King Harolds on the throne.

"Well, find a place to sit down!" Harlaus waved his hand impatiently, pointing to a chair under the throne.

Zhang Qiang was stunned for a moment. That place is usually where the nobles of the kingdom sit, or the bishop. Only those two people are qualified to sit on the left and right seats that are so close to the king's throne and only one step lower than the king's throne.

"It's nothing, come and sit down, I need to talk to you." Harlaus explained Zhang Qiang's question in a coercive and weak voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Qiang had no choice but to run to his seat and sit down. At this time, he was less than 1.2 meters away from Harolds.

"You are a very capable man, a lord of my age, I just want to hear your opinion on the recent events in the kingdom." Harlaus's weak voice rang in Zhang Qiang's ear.

Zhang Qiang thought for a while, raised his head to meet the eyes of King Harolds, turned his head slightly, avoiding the flash of light in King Harolds' eyes, and said in a low voice: "I just heard about the betrayal of Earl Crags. , I know this will shake the foundation of our kingdom, and even your throne, but I think that as long as the lords who are loyal to you continue to serve you and concentrate their strength, the traitors will definitely be expelled and the kingdom's territory will be restored."

Harlaus squinted his eyes at the dome of the palace, listened quietly to Zhang Qiang's words, and then said: "Earl Zhang Qiang, I know you are an ambitious lord, and your ambition is no less than that of Earl Crags, but I I still believe in you, although our relationship is not very good, and you have done a lot of things that make me angry, but now I want to know how loyal you are to me."

Zhang Qiang replied cautiously: "I dare not say that I am completely loyal to you, but on the premise of guaranteeing my interests, I will use my life to guarantee my loyalty to you, safeguard your throne and the right of succession of the legal heir, and guarantee your family continuation."

Harlaus turned his head and looked at Zhang Qiang, "Well, yes, what you said is still the truth. In this case, I now authorize you to organize a crusade army, appoint you as the marshal of the crusade army, and fight to defend my kingdom."

Zhang Qiang stood up immediately, knelt down on one knee, and raised his hands to swear allegiance to King Harolds.

Harlaus nodded in satisfaction, reached out and took off a gemstone ring from his hand, the gemstone was the size of a pigeon egg, and handed it to Zhang Qiang, "I believe that with your ability, you can quickly eliminate the cancer of the kingdom, the kingdom's Rebellion, this is the ring given to me by the old king when I was a marshal. I was also ordered to quell the country's rebellion when I was in danger. It is with this ring that I can command those arrogant lords , with this ring, it's like I'm here in person, I'm tired, I can't fight with you like when I was young, my marshal, you can use this ring to mobilize my army in my territory and finally recognize this Lord of the ring, go down, I am waiting for your good news."

Zhang Qiang took the ring with a trembling hand. He felt a flow of power on the ring. The flowing breath was so familiar, just like what the bishop in black released in the lord's hall of Rod Lapoye, Marquis of Vikia. The breath of the power of faith.

After leaving the king's palace, Zhang Qiang walked in the castle in the inner city, Hanon came out from the shadow of a corner, the two of them glanced at each other, and walked side by side on the cobbled castle road.

"You really want to support King Harolds?" Hanon asked Zhang Qiang in a low voice.

"Is there anything wrong with this? Aren't we all the lords and nobles of the Kingdom of Swadia?" Zhang Qiang asked puzzled.

Hanon pulled him and said, "It's not a question of whether it can be done or not, but a question of whether our strength can resist the counterattack of the Harengos family.

This is not just a matter of the Kingdom of Swadia, but also a war between the Harengos family and the king's forces.

Now Ming and Qing know that the Harengos family wants to abandon Harlaus and re-support Mrs. Aisona, the heir of the former king, his daughter.

If we get involved, the Harengos family will stand against us. Although I have charged you so much money, we are still good friends. I can't see you die in this kind of family struggle. We fight But for them, as long as they are clear-headed people, they know that the best choice is not to stand in line. When they play the result, we will go up and choose the winner. That being said, it's a safe way to go. "

What Hanon said was to let Zhang Qiang wait and see, but Zhang Qiang had an extremely firm voice in his heart telling him that this was his chance, a chance to curry favor with King Harlaus This opportunity is also an opportunity for him to successfully rise to power and expand his power.

But he needs to know what strength the Harlengos family has that makes Hanon so afraid. Harlaus is terrified and exhausted.

He continued to stare at Hanon, and Hanon said when he was young: "Don't look at the Swadia Kingdom's army that was so powerful that it took down many castles and territories along the Nord coast, but in fact King Harlaus' strength is limited to his own. The strength of the territory, and the prestige of his king's throne, in fact, there are not many lords loyal to King Harlaus. Even the reason why your Earl Varisian was able to regain the throne is because of the support of the Harengos family. Otherwise, no matter how much credit he has made, he will not be promoted soon."

"Why is this?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Hanon looked up and looked around, and said cautiously: "A few days ago when the Kingdom of Swadia was in crisis, many lords who lost their territories were dissatisfied with the king. They needed territories to expand their strength, and King Harlaus except Apart from his own territory, he did not deliberately seal off the territories of other lords.

And because of the loss of the Dherim area, the loss of many places, and years of fighting, King Harlaus's treasury is empty enough to run mice, so he has nothing to reward the lords.

And under such circumstances, Harlaus's bewildered nature broke out again. He arrested many lords for treason, confiscated their personal property, and then exiled them. This made the Kingdom of Swadia panic, and At this time, the Harengos family did not suffer much loss, because at that time, only their family's territory in the Kingdom of Swadia did not suffer much loss, and the area surrounding the territory of King Harlaus had never been destroyed by the enemy. Breached, without any loss.

And most of the territory of this expedition to Nord fell into the hands of the Harlengoth family, and part of it fell into the hands of the lords they promoted, but what about the other lords?There is still nothing, so the prestige of King Harlaus has been reduced to a very low level in their eyes. "

Zhang Qiang rolled his eyes twice, and said, "That is to say, I took over the position of Marshal, but only my family's troops are fighting against the entire Kingdom of Swadia."

Hanon glanced at the ring in Zhang Qiang's hand, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Yes, there are also the city guards of Palavin and the knights and soldiers directly under King Halaus, as well as the villages in his territory. farmer."

Zhang Qiang looked up at the sky and walked with a blank expression on his face. Hanon continued to whisper in his ear, "How do you prevent the troops of the Seven Earl Lords deployed around your territory from invading your territory? You took over the king's The command ring means that this matter cannot be returned. The palace and the streets of Palavin are full of spies and secret agents of the Harengos family. Maybe when you return to the barracks, your territory has already been attacked. The invasion of the Lord of the Seven Earls."

Zhang Qiang squinted his eyes and looked at a cloud in the sky, "In this case, let the storm come more violently!"

Walking out of Palavin City, Zhang Qiang quickly sent scout cavalry back to tell the news to Earl Aguer who stayed in the territory, and asked for help from Rod Laboye of the Marquis of Vikia, and wrote to Earl Cress to let him see In the past, he led troops to help his territory, and appointed him as the commander of the territory's army, who was fully responsible for the defense of the territory.

After finishing these things, Zhang Qiang quickly returned to Palavin City, used the ring given by King Harlaus, mobilized [-] city guards, and [-] cavalry of King Harlaus to join his team, and ordered Pala Wen is strictly guarded.

At this time his strength reached 800 men.

The next day, the news of his appointment as Marshal of the Kingdom of Swadia spread from Palaven.

And Zhang Qiang's scout cavalry took Zhang Qiang's order and ordered the lords of various kingdoms to lead their territorial troops to gather at Palaven to prepare for the war from the country founded by Mrs. Aisona supported by the Harengos family.

A week later, after receiving the news that Harlaus had appointed Zhang Qiang as the marshal to lead the army of the Kingdom of Swadia, the Kingdom of Swadia was officially divided. With the support of the Harengos family, Mrs. Aisona officially entered the Suno City, the capital of the Kingdom of Swadia, became the Queen of the Principality of Swadia.
