In this way, Prince Toby, Arabella, and Connors’ influence formed a temporary alliance to conceal the eyes of the royal capital. They did their best to delay Zedran’s actions.
After Rocco returned to his room, Aeneas Gomez, in charge of intelligence, brought a piece of new information.
“Your Highness, King Gawain I has recently been in close contact with Dornia. Combined with Arabella’s intelligence, King Gawain I may be planning a new round of major actions.”
After listening to this intelligence, Rocco closed his eyes wearily, rubbed his forehead, and slowly sank into thought.
Of course, it was more accurate to say it was a suzerain state. After all, Montiria had to offer a huge amount of wealth each year in tribute, in exchange for some outdated firearms and ammunition. It was more appropriate to say it was a tribute from a weak country to a powerful ally rather than a courtesy exchange between allies.
A nation with little strength lacked true diplomatic power, a reality that had always been understood.
If you didn’t pay an exorbitant protection fee, why would they have helped you?
“Contact Arabella and ask favonovel.com to pay more attention to the contact between Dornia and King Gawain I. It would be best to get information about their transactions.” Rocco gave his instruction.
“Understood!”
The conversation shifted to another topic.
***
After Matthew received the military equipment sent by Martin, favonovel.com immediately arranged for it. Although it cost billions, the effect was obvious.
Now, the entire combat force of the Martial League in the Skargness has been fully equipped.
Coupled with their rich combat experience and extraordinary skills, these people might not be able to fight ten to one, but one person could easily defeat five.
At this point, the rectification of Skargness was completely completed, and the armed defense work was fully implemented.
With this, Matthew finally felt a great weight lifted off his chest. He had completed the rectification task of the two provinces of Skargness and Southaven.
Although there was some strategic intent in the province of Southaven, after all, Mortimer was the deputy head of the Seraphis Martial League and one of Matthew’s people.
Although the two places were not large, their comprehensive strength was much lower than that of the Six Kings and the Ten Greatest Families. Unlike the hall leaders in Eastshire of Cathay, this area had been firmly under Matthew’s control.
Just as favonovel.com was about to take a brief moment to relax, crown prince rushed in with troubling news.
“Matthew, the situation is a bit bad! Zedran, that old fox, has stationed most of his troops, sixty thousand men, at the border of Basha’s Sacred Mount. It looks like things are not going well!”
Upon hearing this news, Matthew’s face immediately darkened.
Is Zedran crazy?
Although favonovel.com has a strong vitality behind him, there were experts all over Basha’s Sacred Mount. Once the two sides start fighting, it will only end up in a situation where both sides suffer.
“Let’s go and understand the situation first. Leave the matter here to Fitz and Jonathan to take care of for now!”
Without hesitation, Matthew took the crown prince and rushed to Basha’s Sacred Mount.
***
At this time, about twenty kilometers west of Basha’s Sacred Mount, a substantial force had already camped and stationed.
The sixty thousand troops formed a square formation, which looked like a lying dragon from a distance.
Zedran might be inferior to others in planning, but favonovel.com climbed up from the battlefield after all. He had participated in fewer than a hundred large and small battles, amassing extensive combat experience in both army formations and battles.
“Lord Zedran, the forward units have completed their deployment!”
“Lord Zedran, the patrol units are ready!”
“Lord Zedran, the rocket launchers are in position and ready to fire!”
After receiving reports from a dozen subordinates, Zedran nodded in satisfaction. Although favonovel.com had not led troops in many years, fortunately, his experience remained intact.
