Section 59 The Situation

The situation in the 59th quarter

"But General, that's the advice His Majesty asked you..."

"You are not the same thing as your writing, as long as it is almost the same, that's right.&{}...{} You say, 'The internal troubles of Grony have been destroyed, the king and his ministers are united, and the territory is stable, and it is not a country that can be attacked...' Anyway, that's it, just find this book to copy. There are so many such articles."

"Then why don't you copy it yourself?" Robin wanted to ask back, but when he said that, he disappeared without a trace.

Having said that, since Groney came back, the General seemed to have completely changed. Well, from an objective perspective, Beller has not changed much, but his previous time with Robin has greatly reduced.

That's right, General Belle was highly praised by the church after he came back and was promoted by the king - this is easy to understand. After all, on the one hand, he completed the church's goal, destroyed the invading Chaos Legion and regained the White Fort. On the other hand, he earned a huge commission from Groney... Although the soldiers of Tiberi suffered heavy casualties, from a financial perspective, it was a big profit. This was all a loss to General Belle's wisdom. These are good things... but... but... all of them can be understood. After all, it's a one-time transaction, and it's okay to be busy. Another thing is very troublesome.

When he set off, Beller was still a bachelor. Shortly after he came back, well, there was a wife around him.

The book says that when an old couple is young, men always seem to be particularly pampering their wives. Well, the book says so, and this happens in reality. Originally, Berel would always talk to Robin when he was free, but now, 99% of his spare time (of course this is Robin’s personal feeling) have accompanied Rotia.

And what's worse is that he didn't even have any actions to control his wife. Whether it's his private room, secret room, conference room, whether he is studying and thinking or holding a meeting, Rortiya may appear at any time.

There was a typical example in front of me: the general was seriously considering how to write a rigorous and thoughtful secret letter to His Majesty the King in his private study. But Rotia broke in directly. As soon as she came, Berel immediately threw the matter of writing to the King behind her - well, in fact, it was to Robin - and was full of thoughts to accompany her wife.

Fortunately, this lady was not from a straitor and didn't think about participating in various social activities such as parties, salons, dances, banquets, etc. Otherwise, Robin would probably never have a chance to see his general again.

"I'll give you the rest, Robin. You've learned my handwriting." After saying that, Beller kneaded the broken letter into a ball, threw it towards the corner of the wall, turned around and wanted to leave.

"General!" Robin finally couldn't help but screamed. "This is the request of His Majesty the King! You have not attended the imperial meeting three times!"

"The meeting was very boring, and it was all the same thing to participate or not!" Berel waved his hand and said with a smile. "And I have already taken sick leave."

"But you are not sick, General! You are cheating..."

"Anla, it's okay." Berel interrupted Robin. "I'm asking for leave under the order, haha. If you don't attend, your Majesty will probably be happier."

"What?"

"Well, it's actually very simple. That's the Turanian secret envoy came over to ask for a secret agreement to deal with Groney." Berel said. "That is, we will bring our country into the water together... In this regard, His Majesty the King is still hesitating in his heart and needs time to consider it carefully. It's better if I don't participate."

Robin almost fainted. Beller actually said this in front of Rotia (according to a deep-rooted prejudice, women cannot keep secrets. Robin's concept is naturally no exception).

"General! Can you say this kind of thing casually?" Robin's eyes couldn't help but glance at Rotia on the side. However, the former female gangster boss didn't frown, and he didn't even bother to look at Robin. She kissed Beller's arm,

"I saw a lot of good things on the street over there..." Rotia said to Beller in a very light voice, completely ignoring Robin's existence. Beller smiled and nodded repeatedly. The movement made people think of the human-shaped Samoyed - except for one less tail.

"If you spread this news, it will bring great passiveness to our country!" Robin yelled.

"It's okay, the Turan people are too busy to take care of themselves. Their approach to plotting against Groni makes no sense." Before Berel was out of the room by Rotiara, he finally had time to call out this sentence. "Even if the world is propaganda is not important."

"What..." Robin was stunned for a moment. When he woke up and wanted to ask what was going on, Berel had been out of the door by Rotiara, and he didn't know where to go.

Now, Robin could only stay in the study and write these letters for Belle. Things are really changing. I used to think that the general will always be the general, but now...

"General!" A voice came from outside, and then Tale walked in.

"General is out." Robin sighed and looked at Tale coming in outside. He had been very hostile to the Groney man before (Taler brought him back when Belar returned home), but now, Robin found that he was no longer hostile to Tale, but on the contrary, he felt a little sympathetic. "Didn't General send you out?"

"I just came back and I have urgent news to tell the general immediately."

"You can't find him." Robin lamented. "What's the matter?"

"Over there...there...the elves and the Turan people went to war."

"What?" Robin jumped up from the chair, not even seeing the ink of the quill on the letter paper. "Elf? Tulan? What's going on?"

"The conflict of trade." Tale made the matter clear in as simple words as possible. "The elves sent relevant messengers to contact Sham. Then they had a conflict with the Turan people, and the messengers were killed."

At dusk, Beller came back. He looked at the two young men in the study with a smile.

"Robin, has the letter been sent out?" He saw Tale, but he nodded slightly and signaled.

"Sir, a big thing happened." Robin said. "Taler brought back important news, the Turan people..."

"Have you had sex with the elves?" asked Beller.

"Hey...you already know."

"I don't know, I just guessed it." Berel replied. "It's not difficult to guess, just read more history books." He paused and realized that neither Robin nor Tale understood his words. "You should know the previous trade route problem, right?"

This is well known. The origin of the matter is actually very simple, that is, God knows where a bunch of trade license documents issued by the elves princes emerged... The elves trade routes that were originally exclusively occupied by the Tulan people suddenly had a bunch of competitors. The Tulan people tried to continue monopolizing to earn excess profits, but the result was that the unwilling merchants chose the farther Shem as a trading port. The huge interests quickly made the two countries with good relations quickly tense.

"Well, the Tulans have been peaceful for too long that they forgot how they made their fortune. In order to monopolize the trade of elves, they actually came up with... a stupid trick to attack the passing merchant ships. Hey, they all forgot what elves are."

The establishment of Tulan is not as good as Groney. Groney relies on genius leaders to unify the entire territory in just a generation. The establishment and expansion of Tulan took more time, and it has accumulated hundreds of years. It relies on the accumulation bit by bit, defeating and annexing a series of countries, and finally becoming one of the seven countries.

Beller came to the bookshelf and pulled out a book with no means. From the cover, it could be seen that it was a history book.

"Are elves easy to mess with? Those guys are not good at being pretty, but they are unpredictable races. They are cruel and vicious, and they will retaliate against the slightest... and they also like to harm innocent people. If they provoke elves, they will not end up being good."

Berel turned a page of the book and pointed his finger on the page. It was a history: another country that once confronted the Tulans, Seer. This country was once a powerful country, and even its national strength was above Tulans. Unfortunately, the Seer people didn't know what evil was in their minds, and they actually came up with the stupid idea of ​​"plundering the elves slave vendors/selling". Overnight, the elves appeared on the territory of Seer, allowing them to see what it means to be powerful. The Seer people paid a terrible price for their stupidity, and hundreds of thousands of people were massacred by the elves. The powerful country declined almost instantly and was eventually defeated by the Tulans.

In fact, it is not just Seer. Many people have tried to attack elves. But objectively speaking, if elves can be captured and sold by humans, then that is also a matter in another world. In this world, unless elves do not own a country at all, there is no possibility of such a transaction. Unfortunately, elves have a powerful country and a well-known army. All those who are attracted and confused by the beautiful face of elves (and have evil thoughts) have paid the price for their actions. No, not only these people, but more unlucky people. In some small countries, lords even paid the price for crimes that have nothing to do with them. The reason they were attacked by elves was entirely because someone secretly attacked elves through their territory.

But the elves are unreasonable - many fools think they are beautiful and reasonable, but the reality is that there is no relationship between the two. After they realize that they are attacked, they first send an envoy to ask for a man to punish the murderer. As long as they do not get a satisfactory answer, including those unlucky guys who can only answer "I know nothing", then there will be a war immediately. With their cold nature, the elves' legion will never find anything related to the word "mercy". The city was razed to the ground, the residents were killed, and the prisoners were captured - if you can see the sun the next day, you have to be blessed by the gods.

This time, things were no exception. An elf messenger came to the court of the Tulan people and asked them to punish the murderer and hand over the person. The Tulan people probably felt that they were strong enough, or they felt that they could not come to Taiwan, and they firmly denied it. But they ignored your shirk and deny it, and directly issued an ultimatum, either doing it or a war. The two sides finally started arguing, and the arrogant elf messenger actually pulled out his weapons in court to threaten... and was killed on the spot.

What happened next naturally: the elves' army took a boat to the city on the edge of Tulan and was also the front line of trade: Dandock landed.

When Tale asked for the news, it was the result of the first battle. Under the city of Danzhuk, the powerful Tulan cavalry finally defeated in front of the spear formation of the elves like hedgehogs. Danzhuk was raided by the elves magic, and the entire city was burned. The residents, regardless of gender, age, were all slaughtered. The elves legion was advancing towards the hinterland of Tulan, and wherever they went, it was a complete disaster.

"Turan..." Berel looked relaxed. "This time I really caused myself a big trouble."

"Do you think the Turan people will lose?"

"Yes." Belle replied. "The elves... are difficult to deal with. And they are also very smart, because this means that they only deal with Tulane one country. Others have neither the interests nor the need to participate in such a war."
