Chapter 79 Returning to Kuban Island

When Richard led his army and escorted Ingiard back to the city of Aosta, the whole city was in shock. Unlike the victory in the Battle of Diasde Plain, everyone could not believe the traitor. The leader of the army will be captured alive.

"People of the city of Aosta, this is Turgajar Inguiard who launched the rebellion!" Hubbard, the military chief of the Kingdom of Farnik who was walking next to Richard, held his head high and looked proud, pointing at the Ingiard, who was imprisoned in the prison cart and pushed by the soldiers, shouted to the crowd: "Under the heroic fighting of the Royal Army, the rebels and his army were defeated and reduced to prisoners. Facts have proved that , Those who oppose His Majesty the Great King are unlikely to succeed!"

He was greeted by whispers from the crowd.

Richard didn't look at Hubbard's yelling, but thought about what benefits he could get from King Anders. He is not a benevolent person. He is a free thug for King Anders. If the other party wants to repent Repudiation, Richard didn't mind abolishing him and supporting the infant Crown Prince Gudfried to become the new king. Compared with the entrenched old king, the young crown prince was easier to control.

Soon, Richard entered the Alrea Palace and saw King Anders, who was full of spring breeze. Compared with the gloomy clouds a few days ago, King Anders was proud of the spring breeze at this time, and it can be seen that Inguiard Being captured made the boulder in his heart fall.

It is said that after learning the news that his son-in-law had been captured, he was so excited that he had a few sex calls with the maid who served him that night.

"Earl Richard, you are indeed the heir of King Alfonso the Mighty, and you are so terrifying at such a young age!" King Anders, who was all smiles, first complimented, and then continued: "In order to celebrate The Giarde rebellion has been crushed, and I will hold a grand banquet at the Alrea Palace in two days, and I hope you can attend."

"This..." Richard didn't really want to participate, "Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. I want to return to Cuban Island first to deal with the government affairs that have accumulated in the territory."

"How can this be done, Earl Richard, we are the closest allies, but you don't even want to attend the banquet hosted by the allies?"

"It's not that I don't want to." Richard shook his head and said, "Before that, I think His Majesty's promises should be fulfilled first."

"What promise?" King Anders' smile froze. He changed the subject first to make Richard forget the conditions of the promise, but he didn't expect the other party to mention it directly.

"Your loyal foreign chief Ulea said that as long as our army sends troops to help suppress the rebellion, the Kingdom of Farnik will become my most loyal ally and will always stand by my side in future wars." Richard said lightly Said, actually a little regretful in my heart, I should have asked more at that time, but fortunately it is not too late, "But other than that, my loyal soldiers fought bloody for the peace of your country, I think His Majesty is Not to express..."

King Anders immediately understood Richard's meaning, he coughed lightly, and said, "Earl Richard, I understand what you mean, the alliance agreement between us will be drafted tomorrow, as long as you After I sign and seal it, it will be officially effective, and after signing the contract, I will give you an additional five thousand fares (the currency of the Kingdom of Farnik) as a thank you gift for sending troops."

Richard smiled a little happily, he likes such a person who knows the current affairs, "Your Majesty the King." He said with a smile, "My soldiers will thank you for your kindness and generosity."

……

A month later.

"Kuban Island, I'm finally back."

Looking at the faint black spots on the sea level, Richard said with emotion.

After signing the alliance contract with the Kingdom of Farnik a month ago, and staying for a few days to participate in a boring banquet, Richard almost set foot on the return journey.

When he returned, the civil war in the Kingdom of Farnik was not really over yet, and the territories controlled by the noble rebels had not yet surrendered to the Royal Army. I am afraid that King Anders would have to spend a lot of brainpower to bring all the land back into himself. under the imperial command.

In addition to the civil war in the Kingdom of Farnik, what is more interesting is that the Kingdom of Riyadh, where the Chinese rioted, passed through this small island country again on the way Richard returned to Cuban Island. Although he did not enter the port for inspection, he could see it from a distance. However, he was still surprised to find that the flag hanging high on the port was no longer the flag of the Riya Kingdom, but replaced by a brand new flag that he had never seen before.If Richard's guess is correct, I'm afraid that poor King Caturanus has died in the vast ocean of the people's war, and his kingdom has been destroyed together.

Thinking back on the boredom of this one-month journey, Richard missed his Nuremberg even more.

Finally, the fleet slowly sailed into the port of Cuban Island. Under the hot eyes of the heavily armored sergeants stationed at the port, Richard stepped off the flagship "Paul" merchant ship. When his feet stepped on the solid mainland Richard almost burst into tears.

This is the long-lost land!The long-lost hometown!
After resting at the port for a while, Richard returned to Nuremberg with the early general guards. Perhaps the soldiers stationed at the port reported the news of his return to Nuremberg. When he arrived outside the city, the crowd led by Magnus They had already made preparations for the reception, and even Sophia, who was rarely seen after coming to Cuban Island, appeared among the crowd.

"Your Highness, welcome back to Nuremberg!"

Magnus was the first to step forward and said respectfully, his eyes were piercing, but he looked at Richard with a hint of resentment.

If the rebellion hadn't happened, Richard should still be growing up carefree in Nord City, the capital of the Kingdom of Winster, until he became an adult and would not start to touch government affairs or other things, not like now In this way, you have to lead soldiers to run around before you are an adult.

"My dear Magnus, I successfully completed my goal and won a new ally for the restoration of the country." Richard said with a smile. He turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and patted Magnus on the hand. Shoulder, then walked side by side with him and asked: "Did anything happen on Kuban Island during my absence?"

"Your Highness, everything is fine, and those refugees are building their own homes in peace. By the way, the militia barracks and tanning workshop you ordered to build before you left have been completed. In addition, the two ships The Kirk warship is also ready for use," Magnus said.

"I understand."
