Chapter 1081 Stanley’s Decision

In the blink of an eye, we have entered the cold month, which is also the coldest day of the year. Even in Ellington, where the temperature is relatively comfortable, people prefer to stay in warm rooms rather than going out.

Even though the Weather Mage Group controlled the weather to prevent snowfall, the biting cold wind would not show mercy. It was really painful to go out in this kind of weather.

After a period of emergency construction, the construction team of the Datang Chamber of Commerce finally completed the centralized heating renovation for more than ten major cities when the temperature in the Rennes Empire was about to break through the minus 40 mark, allowing them to enjoy it in advance. The comfort of modern living.

Over the past month, the construction team has not been idle at all, especially those mages who are the main construction workers. Whether it is to open land or build walls, they need to use their strength, which makes them very tired, but the results are also gratifying, ten Coming to a city that originally looked like a primitive tribe, they transformed it into a square and modern city. Watching those fluffy orcs move into their new houses in amazement, I felt a sense of accomplishment. How cool.

Although he worked as a contractor for a month, Tang En did not treat them badly. After coming back, each of them had a glass of Dragon Island fruit wine. After drinking it, they felt the magic pool and magic affinity were greatly improved. Aren't they all happy?

Now looking at the entire Purandar, the Illus Empire occupies the center of the continent, with a vast territory from south to north. It has recovered one-half of the country back then, and the remaining one-half is naturally the Kingdom of Ronitant and Gray. Kingdom of Sri Lanka.

Now, although the Ronitante Kingdom has not yet returned, it has not refused trade with the Illrus Empire. As the trade relations between the two sides continue to become closer, sooner or later they will be like the Ren Empire, unknowingly. It was completely ignored by the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, turned into a puppet country, and finally integrated into the Illrus Empire.

The only one worthy of Tang En taking him a little more seriously is the Kingdom of Grace.

Because that country is too closed.

Tang En is not in a hurry to deal with the Kingdom of Grace. After all, the more peaceful and stable the world is, the better it is for him, so that he can farm and advance technology with peace of mind.

Unfortunately, everything in this world is not always perfect.

Kingdom of Grace, Blood Plains, Blood Rock City.

Stanley sat on the throne, his eyes blank, obviously thinking about something.

The ministers below all know very well why Stanley is absent-minded. Is it because Harriet, the little queen he married a few years ago, will be sixteen years old after the New Year and is no longer the little queen Stanley likes. She is a loli. I am afraid that this little queen will disappear from the world on the last day of her fifteenth year like the previous little queens.

It's all his fault that the damn Princess Alleria of the Illus Empire didn't marry him, and as a result, their prince became like this! (See Chapter 187 for details. Who still remembers that Stanley is a lolicon?)

But no one dares to say such a thing.

"Your Majesty! The weather is getting colder and colder. It has been difficult for residents in the city to hunt prey recently. Other cities have also sent news that there is not much food in reserve. I am afraid it will be difficult to survive until the beginning of next spring."

Even though he knew that His Majesty Stanley had been in a bad mood recently, the tall and burly Duke Blau Vogt still had to report the bad news.

His Majesty Stanley said disapprovingly: "Are you running out of food? Then go grab it!"

This was done in previous winters. Once there was a food shortage, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Grace pretended to be bandits and went to other places to snatch food.

Due to the fortress of the Holy Sword Mark, the Illrus Empire is rarely plundered by the Kingdom of Grace. At the same time, because the climate of the Ren Empire is extremely harsh and the land is equally barren, the Kingdom of Grace is rarely visited. Because of this idea of ​​​​this northern neighbor, the only ones who are unlucky are the Principality of Sira and the Principality of Ivalan in the east. Sometimes even the border cities of the Solant Kingdom will suffer.

At the time, Klein was well aware of the annual autumn storm in the Grace Kingdom, but his attention had been focused on how to completely kill the Illrus Empire, so he never dealt with him. Instead, he let Gray The Kingdom of Sri Lanka has lived a good life for several years.

But the Principality of Sila and the Principality of Ivalan are very aggrieved. The so-called principalities are just city-states that serve as buffer zones. Looking at the whole country, there are only a handful of cities. Even if the wilderness and jungle are added together, they will be exhausted. The area is only about 10,000 square kilometers, and the population is less than one million. How much food can they produce?

The Kingdom of Grace comes over every once in a while to beat the autumn wind, which makes the kings of the Principality of Sira and the Principality of Ivalan feel like they are going through a calamity every winter, with their old faces wrinkled together every day, as if they are constipated.

It was not that the kings of the principalities of Sira and Ivalan were not determined to resist. Unfortunately, although the food output of the Kingdom of Grace was not high, the soldiers were all tall and powerful, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. Moreover, the proportion of Apocalypse is extremely high. The two sides are not opponents on the same level at all. Many people die every year, and many women are robbed. The two sides have already accumulated a blood feud.

Sometimes, the kings of these two principalities even want to merge directly into the Kingdom of Solant. Accepting the protection of the Kingdom of Solant, even if they cannot get revenge, is better than being beaten every day.

It’s a pity that Klein doesn’t accept it!

The existence of these two principalities is to act as a buffer zone between Solant and Grace. If they are merged into Solant, the two countries will directly border each other and the conflict will become more intense. How can he concentrate on dealing with Illrus? empire?

If they wanted to merge into the Illrus Empire, Victor might have agreed. However, the Illrus Empire was very weak at the time and did not have the charm to bring those principalities back, so they simply continued to remain independent.

But now... the situation remains the same.

As the Kingdom of Solant was fully accepted by the Illrus Empire, the Principality of Polanyi and the Principality of Akenna, which were sandwiched between the Empire of Illrus and the Kingdom of Solant, were happily accepted and directly became The cities of Polanyi and Yakna, the original cities in the principality, were downgraded one level and became towns.

Although the administrative level is lower, the treatment they enjoy has been improved! The Datang Chamber of Commerce's endless supply of goods and food dazzled these country bumpkins!

After returning to the Illus Empire, the citizens of the Principality of Polanyi and the Principality of Yakena are celebrating the holidays every day!

Originally, the kings of the Principality of Sira and the Principality of Ivalan were also gearing up, preparing salutes and flowers, waiting for the Illus Empire to send people to receive their return. However, they waited and waited and did not receive the notification, and finally became impatient. I didn't hesitate to pull someone inside to ask, and when I took the initiative to send someone over to inquire, I learned to my heart that in order not to irritate Stanley, I have no plans to take over the Principality of Sila and Ivalan for the time being, but you can rest assured, if you are We will help you deal with the harassment in the Kingdom of Grace, so you can live your life with peace of mind!

Although the words are very beautiful, the subtext is - now is not the time to start a war, so you continue to guard the door for us and act as a buffer zone.

Now the kings of the two principalities were stupid. The good days they had been looking forward to did not come, and the hearts of the two kings were cold. As a result, they waited for another winter, and the evil neighbor came to visit again...

Fortunately, with the secret assistance of the Illrus Empire, the Principality of Sira and the Principality of Ivalan are having a much better life this year, and the loss of this little food is completely acceptable.

The camera returned to the Royal Palace of Blood Rock City.

"Your Majesty," Blau said in a deep voice: "This year is different from previous years. The Solant Kingdom was recovered by the Illrus Empire. Now the Illrus Empire is at its peak. We are now crossing the border to plunder food and property. Perhaps It will provoke a war, and a war breaking out now would be very detrimental to His Majesty’s plans.”

Stanley glanced at him and said calmly: "The Principality of Sira and the Principality of Ivalan have not returned, right? Isn't the food from these two countries enough for us to last until the spring?"

Blau smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, that was the situation in the past. Don't forget, now we have millions more mouths..."

Stanley frowned: "Kobolds are so edible?"

Blau explained: "Although they don't care about the quality of the food and can eat anything, they can't sustain the huge number. The amount of grain shipped there every day is an astonishing number. Although the soil of the Principality of Sila and Ivalan is fertile, The grain output is not low, but the population there is sparse and the land area cultivated is not much, but the grain they grab cannot fill this big hole."

Stanley said casually: "Then kill some kobolds, and then cook them and feed them to other kobolds. At the same time, according to the original plan, go to the Principality of Sila and the Principality of Ivalan to grab a batch of food and come back."

"This is a solution, but if you kill the kobolds, the speed of excavation work..."

"I believe a full belly and the effects of the whip will more than make up for the lost kobolds."

Stanley said coldly: "Duke Vogott, do you have anything else to say?"

"My lord...there is no more."

"Then do it right away."

Stanley changed his posture and said calmly: "Then, Duke Rupert, please report on the progress of the excavation work."

Ferguson Rupert is also a tall and strong man. At this moment, he is dirty and has a dusty look on his face. It is obvious that he has just arrived not long ago. Hearing this, he stepped forward and said: "Come on. As we dig deeper, the temperature becomes colder and the soil is very hard, making it difficult to carry out large-scale excavation work. Moreover, landslides occur from time to time, and many kobolds die every day."

Some people couldn't help but muttered, it should be hotter the further you go underground, but why does it get colder instead?

Stanley's eyes lit up: "It's getting colder!? Very good! It seems we are close to the goal!"
