return to the throne

War is a time-consuming job. Before July, the Allies and the rebels fought two battles near Lanka. The first battle was just a small trial, and neither side suffered much loss. The second time was the result of the victory of the Confederate Army. Paris Stirling's army was beaten to the ground and fled the battlefield in a hurry.

Among them, hares play the most important role, and they are also the most ferocious. Carlos indulged his soldiers in looting and plundering—of course only on the battlefield, and he did not allow harassment of civilians. In his words, this group of warriors who fought bravely and fearlessly in foreign countries must be rewarded with some benefits, otherwise, it would not be difficult for the rabbits to move their nests even with his orders.

Soon, Quinn Pallister realized that his army might not be suitable for fighting in the summer, especially in the southern borders. The northerners are prone to acclimatization. He retreated to Lanka and planned to delay the summer , Wait a few months for the winter before counterattacking the coalition forces.

Adrian would not give him this chance.

Back then, Adrian's father was like this too, watching helplessly as his country fell little by little, and in the end only a castle in Lancaster was left to resist the northern army. Now it's the turn of events, and it's Quinn's turn to feel uncomfortable.

But the weather is indeed a problem. Adrian himself can't adapt to the high temperature. In the past summer, he would go to other cool places to escape the heat, but now he marched with the soldiers. When he got up one day, he was so hot No, just wearing a small shirt to wash, and then in front of the mirror, I found that I seemed to have a small belly.

Adrian looked at the mirror speechlessly: "..."

...If it wasn't for this protruding piece of meat, he would have almost forgotten that he was pregnant, because the child was too obedient and quiet, but Annie said that this was normal, and the four-month-old baby would not show signs of fetal movement. Adrian is in good health, so it doesn't matter how he moves and does things.

As soon as Carlos entered the door, he saw Adrian standing in front of the mirror, observing his belly repeatedly. He walked up to him and kissed him naturally, "Baby, breakfast is brought."

Adrian's mind was still on his stomach, he turned around, and felt that wearing looser clothes should be able to cover his slightly revealing belly, "Next time, let Mei and the others do this kind of thing."

"Then I don't worry about it." Carlos can be said to be [-]% concerned about Adrian now, and he likes to do everything by himself, as if Adrian would be assassinated by someone else if he lost his mind.Of course, he was kind to Adrian in the first place, but sometimes Carlos is also very strong and doesn't like rejection from others, so when the two have conflicts, most of them end with Adrian accommodating.However, recently, in order to worry about Adrian's mood, Carlos's tough style has been slightly restrained, and occasionally he is willing to consider his thoughts from Adrian's perspective.

For example, Adrian insisted not to ride in a carriage, but to ride a horse like everyone else. Carlos refused to say anything at first, but he found that after doing so, the little prince actually had two days in silence alone. He ate a lot less. Seeing that he was so stubborn, the king, who has always said nothing, could only choose to agree, but he must accept Adrian's daily checkup by Anne. If Adrian shows some symptoms of unstable pregnancy, then He was going to listen to Carlos and get on the carriage obediently. This was Carlos's last concession. Adrian didn't want to cause too many conflicts between the two, so he nodded and agreed.

There are many other examples similar to this. Most of the time, each other takes a step back and stops in time when they are about to quarrel. In terms of pregnancy, not only Adrian, but also Carlos has changed a lot. Fortunately, so far, The effects of pregnancy are all positive.

Back to the present, Adrian had breakfast, put on a coat and headed to the political tent. His uncle Seys and others had already been waiting in the tent, and several people gathered together to discuss the next interaction.

The Allied forces were stationed less than 500 meters away from Lanka, and re-divided the southward area back to the territory of the Black Dragon. They blocked the wheat fields outside the city and wiped out Lanka's rations for the next year.Quinn was so angry that he didn't dare to go out of the city to make a sneak attack, so he could only make gold water boiled in the city every day, planning to give them a shot when they attacked the city.

The so-called golden water is a kind of soup made with excrement, hot water, boiling oil and other things together, and it is used when the enemy uses climbing ladders to attack the city.Feces can quickly deteriorate the wounds of injured enemies, boiling water can prevent enemies from climbing up, and the effect of golden water is good, which can effectively prevent enemies from invading, but because the time for making golden water can never catch up with the time it needs to be used, golden water can only be used for a short time against the enemy.

Carlos, on the other hand, is cutting down big trees and preparing to make catapults.

Aragon's catapults are very different from those of other countries. The iron balls used for throwing are hidden in the iron ball. One can blow up a hole in an unbreakable city. This technology is unique to Aragon and cannot be disclosed. The craftsmen from Aragon did not allow the black dragon people to watch when they were making the catapult, but this did not prevent Adrian from knowing their progress.Every day, a catapult is manufactured, and iron balls can be produced every 10 minutes. Soon, the warehouse is full of heavy and thick iron balls, and special personnel are assigned to guard day and night to prevent accidents. Accident.

Several generals had a heated debate on whether to use iron balls to attack the city.

George had deep feelings for Lancaster, so he naturally objected, "That's our capital!" He looked around the crowd sternly, "Since the founding emperor Edward I, Lanka has always been our capital. Everyone knows that it is the hub of our politics and economy, the heart of the black dragon, I must say, it should not be treated like this, yes, maybe it can be broken easily, but the meaning of destroying it, you Have you considered it?"

Seyes agreed for the first time, "It's just destroying an outer wall, and there is no so-called meaning. After we break through Lanka, we can build another one."

Duke said, "I don't have any feelings for Lancaster. In my opinion, using guns is the most convenient way. Under obvious conditions, I am not willing to sacrifice the lives of my soldiers to open the way."

Several people looked at Adrian, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

Adrian hesitated for a while, but didn't speak for a while.When he talked about this with Carlos yesterday, Carlos also meant the same thing. If he didn't use the catapult, his hare would never be the first to attack the city as a vanguard.And the polar army can't sacrifice at this moment, because in the future battles, they will play the main role, so the only ones who can break the city are the army of Black Stone or the army of Phoenix City.

However, these two troops are Adrian's cronies, and Adrian is also very worried about what Carlos is worried about. Naturally, he doesn't want his own people to suffer too many casualties, otherwise, he will not be able to survive in the future. Dominance in battle.

George Newcastle volunteered. "Your Highness, there are no cowards in Phoenix City. I can personally lead people to attack the city. Even if I die, there is still my son Fay. Our Newcastle family is not a villain who is afraid of life and death." He couldn't help but stare. He glanced at Seyes, Duke, and Carlos, as if the villains in his mouth who were afraid of life and death were referring to them.

Adrian knew that George was telling the truth. The old jazz never changed his face even in the face of Pallister's army, not to mention that they still had the upper hand. George wanted to drive Quinn out of Lanka with all his might. Yes, so he is brave and fearless, not afraid of death.But is it really necessary to sacrifice?There is obviously a better solution to the matter, why use human life to make up for it?

He pondered for a while and said, "Thank you for your loyalty, Sir George, but, in my opinion, your lives are more important than a city wall."

Sir George frowned and was about to speak when Adrian said again, "I know what you think, no one is trying to destroy Lancaster, that is our capital, and I don't want it to find its destruction more than anyone else " Adrian paused, and continued, "But sir, that is just a city wall, a dead thing made of stones, and there is nothing special about it. That's right, it was built by Edward I himself, and it belongs to the glory of the past, but That is just the past, the past is the memory, and the future is what we fancy. If you ask me what I think, then I will tell me that I don’t need to continue the glory of my ancestors, I can only reproduce the glory. "

In the small camp, Adrian's voice was decisive, and it was these words that made Old George's heart beat violently.

He wanted exactly such an answer.

God knows why he's standing here, in support of a little baby who hasn't yet been born?No, no, little princess Emily was never the target he wanted to pursue. She was just a little girl who couldn't even take care of herself, let alone her child. Moreover, the infant mortality rate at this time remained high. , who knows if this child can survive to adulthood smoothly.So, did he want to make a political investment, so that he could remember his own interests after putting Adrian on the throne?Of course not, if he really wants to control the regime, then he might as well turn to Quinn, at least before Adrian unites with Aragorn, no matter how you look at it, Quinn has a better chance of winning.

In fact, George came to serve the next king of the Black Dragon. He was loyal to James in his bones and told him to keep the oath he made under the king's throne.He wants to be loyal to the entire family of Dakdraken, so that their blood can be passed on forever.

It now appears that Adrian fits the bill perfectly.

He will be the descendant of the black dragon.

Old George took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his excitement, and said respectfully, "If it is your order, of course we will obey, Your Highness."
