Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Chapter 237: The six lords of Phoenix County are independent and helpless in the dire situation.

At first, Sendi was worried about the planning of the mercenary base, thinking that he might lose his autonomy and be manipulated as a pawn.

But after listening to Miss Blainey's well-reasoned analysis, although he still had concerns, he had to admit that the leader was willing to invest and had a certain ambition and courage, which might bring unexpected opportunities.

In general, Sendi’s attitude towards leadership planning is complex and tangled. He is worried about potential risks, but also looks forward to possible benefits. He can only take one step at a time.

Sendy lived in the Castle of Conson, where he was taken care of in every possible way, and his treatment was so generous that it was astonishing. Not only was a comfortable residence prepared for him, but the meals were all delicacies, all kinds of daily necessities were available, and even beautiful women were sent to sleep with him.

After meeting Master Sendi, Blaney immediately discussed the situation in the territory with his father and eldest brother.

At present, six territories have declared independence, but there is no sign of attack for the time being. However, in terms of current military strength, they do not have an advantage, so they can only take a defensive posture for the time being.

Fortunately, with the teleportation array, it is no longer a problem for the family to escape when encountering a crisis. Because of this, everyone's confidence in resistance is growing day by day.

Everyone praised Blaney for his foresight, but the current situation has begun to deteriorate. Conson Castle resolutely took the church as the enemy, and the reason they were not afraid was because they had the solid backing of the teleportation array. Even if they failed in the end, they could still keep a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, they have been completely cut off from Phoenix City and are surrounded by the territory controlled by the church, like a trapped beast.

Although the family has 20,000 armed merchant groups, plus the magician forces secretly protecting them, most of them are just miscellaneous soldiers. However, even so, the major lords will still be wary.

After all, no one wanted to sacrifice their own lives to achieve the cult's unattainable victory. Because of this, they did not dare to act rashly, and the two sides were able to live in peace for the time being.

The falcon trainer Master Sandy is an expert in magic and once killed a paladin with one move. With such powerful fighting ability, even the teaching regiment is unwilling to get into trouble.

"Father, brother, this situation is expected. I borrowed 500 million magic coins from Vita and built a teleportation array in the cemetery just in case. As long as they don't dare to act rashly, it will be fine. I will go to Phoenix City to see mother tomorrow, and ask His Royal Highness Prince Yakron to find a solution! It is likely that they will be unable to maintain order during the training phase. After all, the teaching regiment will have the upper hand in a fight. If Phoenix City suffers heavy casualties, the situation will be devastated, so the prince can only choose to send troops carefully..."

"Daughter, it's not easy to have this opportunity. Your father hopes you can give it a try. If you can resolve the crisis, we will have room for maneuver. Please."

Blaney was not completely sure. Training troops was a long-term strategy. The empire was not well prepared and encountered a fierce counterattack from the church. The lords of all regions across the country were in a difficult situation. There were many believers in the territories, and they all chose independence. Now there was no time to quell the rebellion...

The next morning, at daybreak, Bryony hurried into Phoenix. She first visited her mother and second brother, and stayed in her quiet villa for half a day, eating with her mother and chatting with her...

At this time, the city has returned to its former order, and the streets are becoming more and more prosperous. The bustling crowds and the constant hawking sounds all show that the vitality of the city is gradually recovering, which shows that His Royal Highness the Prince has done his best.

At noon, Blainey met the prince again. She reported the incident at the Castle of Conson in detail with a solemn expression. The prince sat upright on the high seat and listened attentively. As Blainey narrated, his brows kept furrowing and his face became more and more solemn.

After listening to the report, His Royal Highness sighed and said, "Miss Blaney, the situation is indeed extremely critical. There are a total of 64 earldoms, but only four are still protecting themselves. The others are almost independent. The king has already estimated this in his mind, but time is too short and the troops are seriously insufficient. After three months of hard training, the Knights now have a total of 2,000 people, and the regular army has only more than 30,000 people. They urgently need more time to train, and there is really no rush."

Blaney also felt that the current lords no longer had the bravery and ability of their ancestors. Because of this, only four territories have not fallen, and even Phoenix City is now in danger.

The prince not only won't rescue, but also hopes that these four territories can delay for as long as possible so that they can be more fully prepared. Phoenix County must hold back a large number of believers for as long as possible to relieve the pressure on the capital and ultimately serve the overall interests of the country.

Blaney couldn't really blame His Royal Highness. Their territory could temporarily hold back the teaching group, so that they wouldn't dare to act rashly. Even if they could hold them back for two months, they might be able to train a group of elite knights. For now, they could only hope so.

Furthermore, it was not a problem for Conson Castle to wait for the enemy to attack. Not only could they produce their own weapons and armor, but they were also of high quality, which gave them an advantage over other territories, allowing them to persist in battle and gain more confidence in resisting foreign enemies.

"Well, Your Highness, how long will it take to send troops to quell the rebellion?" Blainey asked anxiously.

"Miss Blainey, all the young and strong men in the city who can be mobilized have participated in the military training. My king has also sent me a group of students from the War Academy. They are now busy with military training. Time is limited, and I cannot take risks rashly. If the big city is lost, everything will be destroyed..." The prince's tone was full of helplessness and caution.

Blaney sighed and said, "This is the only way. Our family can only do our best. If we fail, please don't blame us, Your Highness."

His Royal Highness looked at Miss Blaney, a loyal woman in front of him, with eyes full of admiration and gratitude. He said in a firm tone: "The Earl of Conson's family is a loyal subject of the empire. Although they were defeated in the war, they are not guilty. When the empire wins in the future, your family will be rewarded with the earldom. The current situation is serious. The big cities are facing many crises, let alone you? I have reported to my brother those who dared to purge the armed forces of the church in the country. Your family will be well taken care of..."

Hearing this, Blaney felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and at the same time, he felt a little relieved. However, facing the current predicament, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "This is great. But the current situation is pressing, and we have no choice but to hope that the Imperial Guards can successfully break through the capital. Only the king's army has absolute strength and is trustworthy enough to fight the enemy."

His Royal Highness nodded, indicating that he understood Blainey's concerns, and explained: "After months of hard fighting, the king's army finally wiped out the two dukes and five earls who rebelled in the suburbs of Beijing, and completely eliminated the hidden dangers. At present, this land is temporarily guarded by military officers to ensure the safety of the capital. At the same time, the imperial guards are guarding the front line of the suburbs of Beijing, and the new officials are doing their best to restore order. Only after everything is arranged properly can they attack with confidence."

This is also good news. Only the king's troops are well-trained and have many talented commanders can they go head-to-head with the teaching corps. The local armed forces are really no match for them.
