Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Adol Rivien feels that his original worldview and values ​​are collapsing.

Because...things like iron can be regarded as an extremely valuable strategic material no matter which country on the continent it is in.

In the Odin Empire, all large iron mines are in the hands of large tribes. They use the mined iron ore to create more weapons, and then rob other tribes or exchange for large amounts of food.

In the Norman Empire, owning iron mines meant having a stable financial source. The sale of various iron items often made local nobles huge profits, thus supporting them to enjoy a luxurious life for a long time.

But there is no doubt that no matter which country or region it is, using iron, a precious strategic resource, to build bridges is unheard of.

Because... no matter how extravagant their life is, the nobles will not be so wasteful!

You know, the cost of building a bridge with steel is probably dozens of times higher than that of an ordinary bridge.

Moreover, if other people had the same amount of iron ore, it would be more than enough to arm a full army!

At this moment, Adol Livien's heart was shaking. He was not only shocked by the generosity of the Idar people, but also shocked by the craftsmanship and technology of Idar forging iron!

In this era when the technical level generally stayed at the "block iron making" process, due to the relatively soft texture of iron, even weapons could only be forged short swords.

Of course, soldiers of this era did not like such extremely short melee weapons, but the iron smelted through the "block iron smelting" industry simply could not meet the soldiers' needs for length!

No one likes something short and squishy, ​​but that's their only choice.

But here, a steel bridge across the Solon River gave Adol Rivien a blow in the head!

Others can't, but Idar people can!

Each steel beam standing on the bridge is probably nearly ten meters long.

Only hard, long and solid iron materials can build huge bridges across both sides of the river.

Thinking of this, Adol Livien felt a little unsure...

He felt that his understanding of the nobility in the eastern part of the empire was shaken at the last moment of taking over the territory.

According to the information he had compiled previously, the conflict between the Sauron Territory and the Idar Territory should lead to the loss of both noble territories. The Idar Territory has been plundered many times by pirates from the far sea and should become even poorer and weaker. .

It's just... could a nobleman who could build such a huge bridge really be plundered by those pirates and make the people miserable?

For a moment, Adol Livien's heart was full of doubts.

but……

The tragic experience experienced by the Idar Territory was not only spoken by Count Idar. The Church of Light and the guarding general of Mann Fortress, Sarah Coren, have successively endorsed the Idar Territory...

Suddenly, an idea that seemed a bit unrealistic to him suddenly broke into Adol Livien's mind. Could it be that...the contents described in the letters sent to the Regent Council were all... is fake?

Raymond O'Sullivan also frowned and looked at the opposite bank not far away, but what he noticed was not the chain bridge erected on the Solon River, but the fortress that seemed to have nowhere to go!

"Why is there a fortress here?!" Raymond asked in a rather unkind tone.

Rapid water, strong fortress.

Raymond knew very well that such a fortress would be difficult to conquer with just the more than a thousand Odin soldiers he led!

"This...how is this possible? Why is there a fortress here?"

Adol Rivien finally came back to his senses, staring blankly at the solid fortress standing on the other side of the river, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Before heading to the eastern part of the empire, he had done a lot of research and read countless maps, but he had never seen anything about this fortress in the appropriation records of the Regent Council or on any march map. Any records…

And this means...

This fortress on the banks of the Sauron River was actually built by the so-called Count Idar himself? ? ?

The waste of gold coins, the loss of baggage, the shortage of manpower...

Who would be idle and build such a strong military fortress from their own territory in peaceful times?

"waste!"

Raymond gave Adol a hard look and cursed.

Since entering the Sauron Territory, Adol Rivien's judgments have frequently been wrong. First he found an empty Sauron Territory, and then there was a solid fortress blocking the banks of the Sauron River. This made Raymond... O'Sullivan was particularly angry.

"Sir, if you explain to the defenders here the content of the armistice agreement and the fact that the Idar Territory has been ceded to the Odin Empire, maybe the soldiers stationed in the fortress will comply with the Norman Emperor's will and surrender... ..." Adol Rivien tried.

after all……

Although many nobles in the empire tried to resist, in fact...

There are still a large number of nobles, even though they have strong fortresses and a large number of private soldiers, UU Reading www.uukａnshu.net still opened the city gate under the persuasion of Adol Livien.

Raymond glanced at him and said:

"That makes sense. It's up to you to deliver this news."

Adol Rivien: (#°Д°)

…

As a former nobleman, after passing the bridge and explaining his intention to the defenders on the city wall, Adol Rivien was smoothly pulled into the city by the Idar soldiers in a hanging basket.

Then he met the amiable Army Commander Sam Layton, and explained with a smile his purpose and the contents of the armistice agreement.

Immediately afterwards... he was chopped.

The moment Adol Rivien's head was thrown off the city wall by Idar soldiers, Raymond was furious!

The reason why Adol Livien was asked to persuade him to surrender was because Adol Livien was a noble!

According to the tradition of the Norman Empire, even if nobles sometimes fight each other, they still retain each other's dignity as nobles and will not directly attack each other with swords.

Moreover, the wars of this era can barely be regarded as chivalrous. Even the two sides who start a war usually do not easily attack the envoys.

Because once the messenger is killed, there will be no possibility of reconciliation, and we will face a situation of endless death!

But……

The Idar people did the opposite and cut down the Yatru Rivien sacrificial flag!

Even though Raymond has always disliked the young man named Adul Rivion, he is after all the adjutant assigned to him by Alio O'Sullivan himself! Raymond couldn't explain it to Alio O'Sullivan at all!

This is humiliation and contempt for the Odin Empire!

This is an absolutely unforgivable crime!

For a moment, Raymond was furious...

"Infantry! Infantry assemble!"
