Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 132 The Death of the King
To the south of the small town of Aden, there is a well-defended military camp standing on a flat field.A wooden fence surrounds it, with a tall watchtower in the middle.Surrounded by endless tents.

A luxurious and spacious tent in the center was full of people.

"What are you talking about? It's absolutely impossible for the father to pass away." Andres, who was wearing a black shirt, growled in horror.

"Your Highness, please express your condolences." A middle-aged man dressed as a servant said.

Gaius was a little anxious and looked at Andres uneasily. What decision will His Highness make next?

Sadness, anxiety, madness, and determination were constantly changing on Andres' chubby face.Finally, he decisively announced: "Withdraw the troops and return to Pella City."

"Yes, Your Highness." Gaius had a look of surprise on his face. "I'm going to find General Merry Guise right away."

"Necessary measures can be taken when necessary." A murderous intent flashed across Andres' face.

"Yes, Your Highness." Gaius walked out of the military tent quickly, patted his face vigorously with both hands, his spirit seemed to be refreshed, and then walked quickly towards Meli Guise.

Meli Keith patrolled the barracks, returned to the barracks, and just took off his armor.At this time, the guard at the door suddenly walked in, "General, is Knight Commander Gaius here?"

What was he doing here? A trace of doubt flashed across Melikise's face.

"Ask him to come in?"

"Yes, General."

Not long after the guards walked out of the tent, Gaius walked in wearing armor.

"Is there anything you want, Your Highness? Knight Commander Gaius?"

"Yes, General Meli Guise." Gaius paused for a moment, organized his words, and continued: "Your Majesty has sent an order that we need to return to Pella City."

"What happened? How could His Majesty issue such an order? What about the army of the Principality of Luma?"

"It may be that His Majesty has already decided who to pass the throne to." Gaius showed a meaningful expression on his face, "The army of the Principality of Luma has been defeated by His Highness head-on, and they are no longer worth worrying about."

"Knight Commander Gaius, please apologize to Your Highness for me, I will not accept this order." Meli Keith stood up and continued: "When leaving Pella City, Your Majesty gave me The order is to defeat the army of the Principality of Luma, and I cannot retreat while the army of the Principality of Luma still exists."

Except for His Majesty who went out in person, no one would lead the army back to Pella after victory.Even if it is the eldest prince who leads the army this time, His Majesty will never let Andres withdraw and return to Pella City at this time.He was worried that going to the palace this time would be forced, because this kind of thing happened more than once in the history of the Aquinax family.

"No, Meli Guise, you don't have such power. Your Highness will be the commander of this expedition." Gaius also stood up, his face full of anger, and growled.

Meli Guise became more certain, and he said with a firm face: "I'm sorry, I only follow His Majesty's orders."

Gaius drew out his long sword, pointed at Meli Giss and said, "How dare you disobey His Highness's order."

"If you insist on doing this, you can only step over my dead body." Meli Keith said without fear, while secretly running her grudge to guard against Gaius' attack.

There was a bang, and it turned out that Gaius threw the long sword to the ground. He spread his hands, took a step forward, smashed the pot and said, "Your Majesty has passed away."

Gaius' words were like a bolt from the blue, so the eldest prince's actions made sense, but why, why did His Majesty die, why did it happen so suddenly, he had just met His Majesty before he set off for the expedition.

Mellie Guise was filled with sadness, and he couldn't help but miss the time when he followed His Majesty Xizheng. At that time, he was a young boy who had just joined the army, and His Majesty was so heroic at that time, just like the sun in the sky.

Glittering tears flashed on his resolute and simple face. Looking through the misty mist, Gaius, the knight commander of His Royal Highness, was also very sad.

Gaius also grew up listening to His Majesty's stories. He glanced at the long sword thrown on the ground and Gaius who was immersed in grief. He opened his arms to comfort the young man.

Gaius also seemed to understand what Melissa was thinking, and he also walked towards Melissa.

Mellie Jis hugged Gaius and patted him on the back. The encouragement to the young man slightly eased his sadness. Just when he was about to let go, there was a sharp pain in his stomach. Mellie Jis Si stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and his hand was covered with blood.

"Gaius," Merry Guise growled.

Gaius drew out the dagger, and drove it in hard again.

……

Iris Flower Collar, in the government affairs hall of Tulip City, the government affairs officer Mina is reporting recent events.

"Master, the spear purchased by His Royal Highness Andres has been sent to someone. Now what will the blacksmith shop in Iron Town build next?"

"How is the mining of adamantine?"

"Your Highness, [-] cosmos serfs have already mined it. Is the fine gold mine mined to make weapons, or?" Mina said in preparation.

The fine gold ore is mainly to strengthen the operation of fighting spirit and enhance the penetrating power.Naturally, the knights don't need stronger penetrating power when charging, so the fine gold ore used to be used in the long swords carried by the knights and the spears of the Iris infantry.

But the last time it was only plated with fine gold, there was no war after that, so the weapon didn't need to be replaced.He thought for a while, and decided to use this batch of pure gold for the archers.

"Tell Blacksmith Lalu that this time the fine gold is used to make the arrows. This time, there is no need to coat it. The arrows are all made of fine gold."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"How is the training of the male servants in the school now?" Charles asked anxiously.

"Master, except for a few male servants who have learned to read before, the rest are just literate." Mina smiled slightly, it seems that he has recently shown his prestige in front of these male servants.

"The next time the Iris infantry changes defense, go to Calla Lily Town to help out. I always hear what others say, so why don't you go and experience it yourself." Charles looked at Mina and continued, "Mr. Rocky's age It’s a little bit older, so it’s time to come back and enjoy it, Calla Lily Flower Town let these young people go to work, I only have one order, don’t affect this year’s autumn harvest.”

"Yes, master." Mina showed a gentle smile on his face.No matter how the young master changes, young master Shire is always so tolerant and kind to those who came out of Iris Castle.

After Mina left, Ciel walked towards the square of Tulip City.

On the wide and flat concrete floor, a three-legged iron tripod stands on a high stone platform, surrounded by a group of iris warriors patrolling back and forth.

"Master Charles."

One after another voices sounded, Charles nodded and walked in the direction of Tieding.It's not that he doesn't want to put the iron tripod in the mansion, but through the information from the sacred stone, the iron tripod collects people's luck and people's approval, so Charles simply put it on the square.Anyway, people here don't understand its importance.

Shire arranged for the Iris infantry to look after it mainly because he was afraid that someone would steal it. After all, large pieces of iron ore smelted in this world are not cheap.

Looking at the iron cauldron shining with metallic luster, Charles couldn't help but think of the fear he felt when he aroused the iron cauldron that day, as if he was stared at by a wild beast. He almost passed out that time. He may be about to fall directly from the high platform. Although he is now invulnerable, it is okay to fall, but it would be embarrassing to fall in front of so many people.

Charles thought of the spring rain that day again, spring rain was as expensive as oil, not to mention the spring rain just after the seeds were planted.Perhaps because of the spring rain, the leaders of the iris flowers in the square would emit white luck from time to time and blend into the iron tripod.Tieding consumes air to ensure good weather, because the leaders of Iris Flower contribute air to Tieding, and sustainable development belongs to it.

After staying in the square for a while, Charles walked towards the barracks. Although the transformation of luck just now sounded interesting, he always felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. A good thing or a bad thing.But no matter whether it is good or bad, he must have enough strength to protect the safety of the iris territory.

While Charles was thinking about it, he arrived at the barracks, where Knight Commander Les happened to be here today.

"Master, is there anything I can do for you?" Les bowed slightly with a gentle smile on his face.

"Les, are you ready to use your bravery to obtain the title?" Charles smiled slightly.

"Master, always be ready."

"It's time for the brave soldiers to claim the territory His Majesty has bestowed upon us." Charles looked at Rice and continued, "Just like what I said before, but this time I want to lead the army myself, Clivia Family I want to know about the old feud with the Iris family."

"Of course, young master, but can you let me be the pioneer, let me open the way for the Iris family?"

"of course can."

While Charles was chatting with Rice, the servants from the Tulip City mansion rushed over.

"What happened?"

"Young Master, His Majesty the Emperor of the Duchy of Artem is dead." The servant said with a heavy breath.

"How is this possible, who sent the news." Charles said with a shocked face, frowning.

"Master, the news came from the tavern you set up in Pella City." The servant gasped, and then continued, "Master, I heard that the news has spread in Pella City. His Majesty the King died suddenly. , so many people saw it at the time.”

"When did His Majesty the King pass away?" Charles said in shock.

"I heard it was about seven days ago."

Suddenly, Charles had a terrible idea in his mind, because it happened to be the time when he set up the iron cauldron in the square, so the death of His Majesty the King could not be related to him.

"Master, what should we do next?" Les asked Charles.

"Les, it seems that your title will be postponed for a while. The Principality of Luma and the Principality of Sukale will not miss this opportunity. We need to be prepared. Next, we will see the eldest prince Andres and the second What will Prince Enkata do?" Charles looked at the barracks and continued to order: "Let the iris infantry from Calla Lily Town, Cherry Blossom Town and Mustang Town be stationed in Flower Town, and the iris soldiers from Steel Town The flower infantry does not move, and informs everyone that the iris flower collar has entered a wartime state."

"Yes, master, I will send knights to notify the mayors of the towns and the battalion commanders and company commanders of the Iris Flower Infantry."

After speaking, Charles strode out of the barracks. He came to the government affairs hall and ordered, "Go and call Mr. Barron."

"Yes, master." The servant beside Charles walked away quickly.

At this moment, Mina walked in with a roll of cardboard, looking at the young master sitting on the main seat, he was a little surprised, because the young master had just left.

"Master, what happened?"

"His Majesty the King is dead." Charles said succinctly.

"Oh, my God, young master, what should we do next? Why did His Majesty the King pass away suddenly?" Mina said with a look of surprise.

At the same time, an exclamation came out from the door of the hall, and it turned out that Knight Barron had also arrived.

"Master, why did it happen so suddenly?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Charles' face, and he said slowly: "It's useless to worry about the reasons for what happened. What we need to do next is how to deal with such things reasonably. Barron, you inform the towns , a security team stationed there to ensure local law and order.”

"Okay, master, the security team is all local residents, and there is no one more suitable for this job than them. Please rest assured, master, these serfs, the lords of the free people are you, master, and have nothing to do with the king. "Barron bowed slightly.

"Baron, not only these, but the most critical issue is the attack of the Principality of Luma and Sukale, and His Majesty's death was too sudden, so he did not designate a successor, so we need information, we need to know about Andres and En How about Kata."

"Master, what do you need me to do?"

"Is the intelligence team ready? I need you to go to Pella City to get information. We can't know nothing about the actions of Andres and Enkat."

"Don't worry, master, it's ready."

After dismissing Baron Knight and Mina, Charles opened his feet and walked towards the mansion. The next period of time should be particularly dangerous, and he had to tell Fina and Kitty to be ready.

Fina and Kitty were chatting and laughing in the room. In the warm room, Kitty's face was blushing, while Fina had a smirk on her face, laughing while talking.Suddenly, the voice of the maid greeting came from the hall.

"It seems that Charles is back, why did he come back so early today?"

"Maybe it's because there's nothing to do today. You'll know if you go out and have a look."

Fina was wearing a long white dress, and Kitty was wearing a fiery red V-neck dress, with a white lace strip tied around her waist, with her arms crossed, she walked slowly towards Charles.

"Why did you come back so early today? Did you miss someone?" Fina joked.

"His Majesty is dead."
