Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 39 The Breath of Frost

"How dare he do this! He is risking the disgrace of the whole world!"

A few days later, this event known as the "Bloody Imperial Meeting" reached the ears of every member of each family, especially the Hurley family of the "Iron Bank". Their patriarch was actually in the sacred imperial meeting. A few knights were assembled by the young king, and they were beheaded on the spot!

The Hurleys even felt momentarily overwhelmed.It took them several days to regain their strength and allow the next Patriarch to take the throne, and then they secretly invited many great nobles to discuss.

Then, the revenge from the Hurley family began.

They didn't hide it, they had to show their attitude to the whole world, and they had to deter the king, otherwise, the majesty and reputation accumulated by the family for hundreds of years would be wiped out.

Under the signal of the kingdom's iron treasury, strikes occurred in gold mines all over the country, tax scandals broke out in a large number of territories, some industries were implicated in bankruptcy, and tens of thousands of people faced desperation because they lost their land or lost their jobs.

These news, relying on the eyes and ears of the past kings alone, cannot see the whole picture.

But here's what Murphy said to his loyal dog knight as he sat between his thrones, leisurely eating his breakfast:

"Elmer, the Hurleys are dying. Go and take a letter to your father."

The loyal dog took orders without any doubts.

In the next few days, things continued to brew and ferment.

Successively, several aristocrats were either co-opted by Hurley or coerced by them, and joined the ranks of this demonstration.Floda's economy suffered heavy losses within a few days. The civilians who lost their jobs and land became refugees and began to gather at the gate of the government. Some people even dared to sleep on the street in front of the palace.

In the far north, in the mountains where the gold mines are located, because a large number of people were pulled out by Hurley without warning to march, it was reported that a giant dragon inhabiting it was awakened.

The icy dragon's breath spewed out by the dragon froze the entire mountain within three days, freezing the mature gold mine within it.This is a warning, and he warns all humans who disturb his rest.

As a result, a small town that gradually prospered because of the gold mine disappeared.

But now the despondent nobles have no time to deal with the news, because in just a few days, they had confronted the king several times.

First of all, Murphy issued several decrees in the name of the king, reducing the privileges of the Hurley family and announcing that the gold mines would be owned by the state, and all benefits would be distributed equally to the citizens.While winning a lot of popular support, Murphy gave a speech at the palace.

According to reports from the scouts, Murphy just appeared in front of the people, causing them to burst into cheers.Then, when Murphy said "Be my soldier", someone stood up on the spot; when Murphy said "Fight for me", the sound of mountains and tsunami made everyone burst into tears.

The Hurley family slapped the table on the spot: "What nonsense! How could someone use the phrase 'die for me' to conscript?! Get the hell out of here!!!"

The scout left without a word.

Then they discussed: "It is impossible for the king to win the war with the militia and some mobs alone. But now that he has started preparing for battle, it is time for the Hurleys to start preparing an army."

Hurley is the treasury of the kingdom, not the army, what they call the army are mercenaries.According to the price of a few gold coins per head, they can arm a powerful military force in a short period of time.

On this night, the Ying family welcomed a distinguished guest.

The master of the Eagle family, a middle-aged man named Markus von Igor, is also the biological father of the loyal dog knight.He entertained Murphy in his study.

Murphy's purpose of coming was very succinct: "Support me in this war."

Marcus smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if this is a negotiating table, you and Hurley are sitting at the two ends. I don't know what kind of chips are in your hands. Why would I?" How about choosing a side in such a hurry?"

Murphy said: "First, I occupy righteousness; second, I occupy the hearts of the people; third, I have the support of Thanalan, the kingdom of the East."

Marcus said: "I don't know how you occupy the righteousness except in the name of the king? Your feat at the imperial meeting made everyone feel terrified."

Murphy crossed his arms and sat there gracefully, like a beautiful mural.His voice is also beautiful: "In the name of killing Hurley at the meeting? It's very simple. Hurley disregarded the interests of the country and started a civil war, so they are sinners of treason - that's why I killed Hurley cause of profit."

Marcus was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed, and said, "This is really confusing words!"

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly put away his smile and said, "My silly son can't see it yet, but this matter is already obvious—are you really our king? Pure acting to fool us?"

Murphy was still sitting there, smiling: "The former or the latter, we all know that it doesn't matter. As long as I stand on Kloster Square and the people are still shouting 'Long live the king', then I am the king." ;As long as I win this war and pay my followers accordingly, then I am king. Isn't that so?"

Marcus narrowed his eyes, and suddenly thought: The youthful king's appearance in front of him is so magnificent that it cannot be imitated.He is real, must, and can only be real.

Next, Murphy showed a letter, which was evidence of his alliance with Dongguo.

Marcus said again: "In order to stabilize the king's position, do you not hesitate to collude with the enemy country, and even promise to make a certain annual offering? With all due respect, Your Majesty, you are traitorous..."

"The place where I am is the country of Floda—I am this country, and how to dispose of these properties is naturally my right." Murphy slowly unfolded a map of the continent, "What's more, in some Under special circumstances, this agreement does not count.”

Marcus looked up in astonishment, and saw Murphy's expression at this moment.

What appeared in those emerald green eyes at this moment was not so much ambition as absolute desire for dominance.

——The absolute combination of power and beauty is so breathtaking, perhaps the legendary king of succubi in the abyss is nothing more than that.

Marcus asked: "So, what are I and my family in such an apparatus?"

Murphy smiled and said to him, "I have no heirs. The next emperor, who will be the full emperor of this Albion continent, will be a boy with the blood of an eagle and my will."

In any case, the war known as the "Hurley Civil War" started this fall.

The Hurley family has a strong financial background, the support of some nobles, and a large wave of mercenaries.

On the king's side, there was a cavalry team led by Duke Jihua of the Eastern Kingdom, the First Corps led by the Ying family, and militiamen who voluntarily joined the army under the king's call.

It is said that the king perfectly predicted the direction of the war, and led a cavalry unit of the Eagle family to conduct lightning operations on the battlefield.Wherever he is, the dawn of victory is always there.

Several generals who worked with him, after several meetings before the station, had already highly praised him. Some people publicly declared in the army: "With such a talented and generous king, we have already won this war!"

They pushed all the way to the mining area to the north, the sky was covered with a gray color, and the distant skyline seemed to be frost blue.

Behind him, the loyal dog knight rushed up and put a snow-white lion fur cloak on Murphy's shoulders.The young king wore a half-faced golden mask today, graceful yet majestic, and everyone passing by respected him in awe.

The fine snow gradually fluttered.

The knight whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time to go back."

Murphy was not in a hurry, and said, "I heard that the largest gold mine in the north has recently stopped production. The cause is a giant dragon?"

The knight stepped forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Murphy said, "Let's go and negotiate with him. Floda needs the gold mine and the tens of thousands of jobs it provides."

The king wanted to meet the dragon himself, a decision that frightened many people.

The ministers dissuaded him one after another, and Marcus, the head of the Eagle family, said: "The great cause has just started, do you decide to take such a risk?"

Murphy smiled and said to him: "If the giant dragon sleeping on my land cannot be conquered, I still want to conquer the whole world, isn't it just a joke?"

His will is very firm, and several ministers hope that the loyal dog knight can persuade him, after all, he is also a childhood sweetheart.

Unexpectedly, the knight said: "What Your Majesty says is what it is. Even if it is a giant dragon, it is impossible to disobey His Majesty's will."

Brain powder, proper brain powder.

Murphy patted him on the shoulder very satisfied, ordered a few elite knights that day, and then, under the escort of an army, rode lightly to the gold mine in the north.

That place is now like a city made of ice sculptures, frozen in ice and snowdrifts.

It is said that this was caused by the breath of frost breathed out by the giant dragon. It only took a few days to freeze the land that was close to thousands of miles away.It seems that it is just to let myself sleep peacefully.

While the cold wind was howling, the team found a clean hut, packed up their things, and greeted the noble king.

Murphy was wearing light leather armor, a fox fur cloak over his head, and a long stainless steel sword pinned to his waist.After he dismounted from the horse, he went to the highest place to have a look, and said, "Did you hear that?"

The knights below shook their heads blankly.

"The breath of the dragon." Murphy said to himself, "It's a strong adult dragon. If the breath of the frost dragon, the person who settled here should be a blue dragon or a silver dragon - which one would it be?" what kind?"

Dragons have long since disappeared from this continent, and few have knowledge of them.The knights did not understand the significance of the information, but it did not prevent them from worshiping the king even more.

The loyal dog stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, we should rest for one night first, and continue on tomorrow. The temperature is too low at night."

"Well, let's camp here," Murphy said.

At night, the knights take turns to watch the night.

Murphy felt bored, so he teased his loyal dog knight to play.

The loyal dog blushed. He didn't know whether it was from the cold during the day or because he was teasing him. He just buried his head and wiped his long sword with the oiled leather.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The knight outside said, "Your Majesty, someone has appeared."

In this frozen place, an old man in thin clothes appeared out of nowhere.His face was pale, and he held an oil lamp. He didn't seem to feel the cold at all, and said in a calm tone: "The master ordered me to welcome some guests, please follow me."
