Little Priest's Cat Diary

"You can't do it, can you?"

Sardis was too lazy to talk to some disrespectful old man.

"It's none of your business."

As soon as he had finished speaking, the old man whistled.

"It turns out that I really haven't been able to hook up and go to bed. I didn't say, little Sal, you really can't do it."

The corner of Sardis's mouth twitched.

The old man's words just now turned out to be deceiving him.

If he didn't pay attention, he was scammed out.

"And, how can you say it has nothing to do with me."

The old man said with a smile.

He has a young face with white hair, looks proud and energetic, and looks highly respected. People can't help but feel respect when they look at it, and they dare not make the slightest mistake.

However, the words that came out of this handsome old man were completely opposite to his appearance.

"I think back then, um, it was probably when you were 16 years old. When you were in a dream... for the first time at night, you woke up in shock and thought that you were suffering from a strange disease. Hahahaha, little Sal, At that time, I told you that this is a necessary process in a man’s life.”

"Ah~~It's nice to be young~~"

"Although I am old, my memory is not bad. If I remember correctly, when you had that dream, the name you called seemed to be Mi..."

Before the old man finished speaking, his mouth was covered by someone's outstretched hand.

"I don't need you to worry about my private affairs."

Sardis stared at the old man in front of him, gritting his teeth every word.

"Ya, Tu, Duo, De, Your Excellency the Sage!"

"Also, don't call me that again!"

The lower half of the old man's face was covered by Sardis, only his eyes were exposed, looking at Sardis with a smile.

Although there were wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, there was no cloudiness in a pair of azure blue eyes, they were as clear as a newborn baby, and even more so bright.

Then, he laughed out loud.

He raised his hand to grab Sardis' wrist, and pulled away the hand that was covering his mouth.

His body is about the height of an ordinary person, and he is at least one head shorter than the slender Sardis.

But from the hand he held Sardis and the tight and distinct muscles on his arm, it can be seen that although this old man is called a sage, besides being able to convince people with reason, It can also convince people with force.

Anyway, Sardis suffered a lot during the few years he followed this old man.

When the old man got angry, he didn't care who he was, it was common to beat people in the name of exercising him.Moreover, this old guy often deliberately throws him in a dangerous place, euphemistically called the love education of "the male lion kicks the cub off the cliff with the feeling of licking the calf so that it can grow up".

It can be said that the years with the old man were simply a nightmare that Sardis would never forget.

However, he also had to admit it.

It is precisely because of being pushed to the limit time and time again by the old man, and breaking through himself in crisis time and time again, that he was able to reborn in just over two years.

——But even if you know it, being unhappy is just being unhappy.

Sardis looked maliciously at the old man whom he had not seen for a long time.

I was still young before, so I was no match for the old man.

But now, he should be able to take revenge... No, he will express his 'respect' to the old man.

Sardis's heart of vengeance was just around the corner, his eyes were too obvious, and the old man who was keenly aware of the danger quickly changed the subject.

"When King Ston went south with all his strength, I guessed that you were likely to come."

As he spoke, he walked out and decisively ended the topic he was very interested in.

As soon as he closed his expression, he became serious.

The topic changed and turned to the main topic.

The old man said, "You came sooner than I thought."

Sardis looked at the back of the old man walking out, and let out a sigh in his heart.

Don't worry, there will be time later.

According to Mia, he is a very vengeful guy, and he never denied it.

You can escape this time, but you can't escape the next time, the next time.

Recording this sum in his heart again, he stepped forward to follow.

"When did you come here?"

"Three or four years ago."

The old sage replied without looking back.

Sardis paused in his footsteps.

Three or four years ago.

In other words, when I left from him and returned to Schulte City to officially start fighting as a member of the Northland Army, the old man left the Northland again and came to this city of Kingston, until now.

Sardis vaguely realized in his heart.

I am afraid that from that time on, the old man Artudode had already guessed that this day would come, so he planted hidden dangers in the city of King Stone early.

What's more, he deliberately took himself to travel the entire Ston prairie for a whole year in order to let him understand the Ston people and lay the foundation for him to fight against the Ston people in the future.

"The current King Ston has great ambitions, so there will be a battle between Portoyas and Ston sooner or later."

The old man said as he walked.

"It's just that I didn't expect that because of the unexpected appearance of the sea people, this battle has been brought forward a lot."

The old sage Artudots was actually very emotional.

In fact, he has always had an unknown ambition in his heart.

At first, he pinned his ambitions on King Davies.

But with the changes in King David these years, he became more and more disappointed.

After trying to teach the former crown prince Pastor for more than a year, he was even more disappointed and chose to feign death and leave Porto Yass. Leisure life.

However, just when he thought his ambition was hopeless in this life, the young prince sent by his disciple Itit made him see hope again.

This young lion, perhaps...

It is precisely because of this that he came to King Stone City without hesitation.

In his plan, in the past few years, Sardis and the former crown prince Pastor should compete for the crown prince.

Of course, he knew in his heart that the final winner must be Sardis.

The so-called plan cannot keep up with the changes.

No one would have guessed that the people of the sea would suddenly appear and attack Portoyas, causing Portoyas to almost perish.

To be honest, during this period of time, he was shocked enough even in Kingston City.

but……

The old man glanced sideways at Prince Sardis, who was still very young, but already exuded an invisible awe-inspiring aura, and was very satisfied in his heart.

This time it was a catastrophe for Portoyas, but it was an opportunity for Sardis to grow rapidly.

The young male lion had grown faster than he had imagined.

His bravery, his strength, his determination, and the spirit and strength of being fearless and daring to go forward are rare in the world.

Even King David, who was once called the King of Heroes, is far behind.

Thinking that such a hero was almost buried as a dandy and trash back then, Artudot always felt lingering fear when thinking about it.

And the young man who led Sardis, who was regarded as a waste by everyone, to the right path was also his disciple's disciple, moreover, he was also the sweetheart of this special disciple in front of him... which made him quite curious.

I don't know what kind of person that boy is?

When he thought of this, he and Sardis had already arrived in the courtyard outside.

Sardis' mount, a snow-white steed, was standing in the courtyard.

Arthur Dodd walked over, leaned over and squatted beside the steed

He carefully looked at the horseshoe for a long time, his eyes flickered, and finally nodded thoughtfully.

"So that's the reason why you were able to rush to the city in just three or four days."

It is said that cavalry move quickly, which is true.

But in terms of long-distance raids, cavalry is not as good as infantry.

What it comes down to is, the horseshoe.

The most important thing about a horse is its hooves, which look thick, but are actually similar to human nails, which are easily worn or broken.

A military horse needs to train, fight, and run, and its hooves wear out much faster than ordinary horses.

Once the horseshoes are almost worn out, the horse will be completely useless, so a horse can be used in the army for three or four years at most.

This is one of the most important reasons why the cavalry is extremely expensive and unable to expand its troops on a large scale.

And running for a long time is even more serious to the wear and tear of the horseshoe.

So the so-called cavalry raids on the mainland in the past were actually running for a while, resting for a while, to avoid excessive wear and tear of the horseshoes, and pay attention to avoiding areas with a lot of gravel along the way, so in fact, it is not much faster than infantry.

but……

Artudode stared at the black piece of iron nailed to the horse's hoof, and immediately understood the great changes this seemingly insignificant thing would bring to the cavalry army.

With this piece of iron, the loss of military horses can be reduced by at least half.

In other words, with the usual consumption of the same property, the size of the cavalry can be at least doubled.

At the same time, the speed and distance of cavalry raids will be greatly increased, which is extremely beneficial to Portoyas, which is dominated by cavalry.

He exclaimed: "How did you think of it?"

"not me."

Sardis raised his hand, the snow-white horse bowed his head and arched his hand.

"Mia thought of it."

"It's that kid again..."

The old man chuckled.

He was becoming more and more curious about the little disciples of his apprentices.

………………

At this moment, Mia in Schulte City had no idea that she was being mentioned by a pair of master and apprentice in King Stone City, thousands of miles away.

It was a time when he was in a good mood after he finished lashing out at the seemingly polite but arrogant Mongast envoy.

Although he knew that Sardis was not an extraordinary person, this tactic was still too risky after all.During this period of time, although Mia seemed calm, her heart was still hanging high.

Now, the heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell to the ground, and the relieved boy sat in the sunny courtyard, happily biting the freshly baked fragrant milk honey raisin biscuits.

Naturally, these were made by a black-haired knight commander who became more and more proficient in baking desserts, and served them as afternoon tea snacks for his master.

The sweet, crunchy, and rich milky aroma lingered on the tip of her nose, making Mia squint her eyes happily, and her mood became happier.

"Speaking of which, even if there are people from Ston leading the way in the prairie, plus the horseshoe I made for him, he can rush to King Ston City in three or four days."

"Even if almost all of Ston's troops are brought by King Ston to attack Portoyas, the King City's troops are empty."

Licking the crumbs of the crackers on her fingers, Mia asked curiously.

"However, for such a large royal city, Sardis took down it in two days, isn't it too fast?"

The Ston people have been able to threaten the northern border of Podoyas for so many years, so they can't be so useless, right?

"The inside should cooperate with the outside."

Faer, who had read the detailed military report, answered concisely.

"There's a civil war in the city."

"what?"

"The lower-class Stonians rebelled against the oppression of the Ston nobles."

"...This shouldn't be a coincidence, right?"

"Of course not." Faer handed a glass of crushed ice juice to Mia and said, "Do you still remember the great sage Artudode?"

"Uh?"

Teacher's teacher?

The former high priest who escaped by feigning death?

Speaking of it, the teacher seems to have escaped by feigning death.

... There is an illusion that feigning death has become a high priestly tradition.

Shouldn't he have this day too?

But he doesn't have another identity.

Just when Mia's thoughts in deep thought had drifted in a strange direction, Faer pulled his thoughts back instantly with a word.

"Your Majesty the Sage went to King Stone's City a few years ago and preached there for several years."

"This time, he led nearly ten thousand believers to revolt in the city in the name of resisting the oppression of the Ston nobles, and they should attack the city gate together."

The social structures of Ston and Portojas are different.

The law of Portoyas stipulates that the life and property of a commoner belong to him, so the civilians of Portoyas are independent individuals whether they are rich or poor.

On the other hand, Stone is based on countless tribes, large and small, as the basic unit. The tribe chiefs and nobles have great control over the common people.

The property and even life and death of the common people are in the hands of the nobles of the tribe. The nobles can dispose of the common people at will, and there are even extremely oppressive regulations such as that the commoners must dedicate their wives to the nobles on the first night of their wedding.

It can be said that under the harsh rule of the nobles of Ston, the common people of Ston lived extremely hard.

This is also one of the reasons why many Stonians are willing to serve Sardis and are loyal, because under Sardis, their lives are much better than before.

They cherish such a good life now more than the Portoyas people.

missionary?

Lead the people at the bottom to revolt against the nobles?

Well, there is a strange sense of déjà vu.

Mia thought in a daze while drinking the juice.

Faer continued: "The sage who led the civilian uprising in Ston declared that all the oppressed should unite and defeat the oppressors before they can be liberated and free."

"puff--"

Mia spat out a mouthful of juice.

Is the teacher's teacher so stupid?

Has this revolutionary slogan been chanted?
