Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 108 Vigrich IV (4)

When he returned to Madkalin, he felt that he had regained his usual composure. When he was in the Hall of Ashes, he was disturbed by the success at his fingertips. He had been preparing for the revival of the Hastza Empire all his life. Unexpectedly, he was messed up by a little girl who killed him halfway.

This time, he will slowly take the situation back into his own hands, and slowly put away this big net that has wiped out the entire kingdom.

"The gods are watching what we do. Even if the old king is dead, the allies are still allies." Bechar objected with a serious expression.Vigrich no longer knew whether his High Priest cousin was standing up for his beliefs or deliberately against him.

"Since Queen Lozaria has broken her oath to her vassals, we don't need to keep any promises with the Korva family." Arrowin said, "We can also pretend to help them, and then stand still and observe the whole It’s not too late to make a decision after the direction of the kingdom’s war.”

"Lord Allowin is right." Bavor Grayhaven echoed.

"We will have more options when our ships in Grayhaven are built." Aldoma Grayhaven nodded.

"We will be sent by the gods to do this!" Bechar said in surprise, "If the star gods do not stand by our side, we will not win this war!"

"What Lozaria did should be sent by the gods." Vigrich said, "Nemir will understand my intentions, and so will other star gods. It will be the star-lord festival to celebrate Nemir's approaching day soon. I I will watch his rise with the citizens of the city and pray to him for blessing."

Hearing that Vigrich was going to personally attend the Star Master Festival hosted by him, Bechar slowly let go of his headstrong face and no longer objected.

Seeing that Gosfried Master next to Bechar was about to turn red with anxiety because he couldn't speak, Wigrich sighed softly and asked, "Gosfried, Do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty," the military commander's eyes suddenly brightened, "We can first let Madkalin's army and Imperial Guards go out to join the Jingpopu Provincial Army stationed outside Kongchao City, and call the farmers and soldiers after the autumn harvest .”

"The imperial guards can't do it. I need them to investigate what's going on with those eye-gouging people. Before that, they can't leave the capital." Wigrich said without objection.

He thought Gozolon and Hagen would be able to bring the eye-gouging murderers to justice before he came back, but instead of solving the problem, they allowed the criminals to escape from the dungeon, escaping Hagen's shadows and Go The men Zoron's Praetorians hunted were no mediocre criminals.

"How much food do we have in store?" Vigrich asked.

"Even if we need to summon farmers and soldiers, we can last for a long time, Your Majesty." Allowin replied, "Whether it is wheat or rye, the fertile land has had good harvests in the past few years."

"Your Majesty, although I know that you are very cautious about the war and want to be safe, but now the empire has enough food and food, more than enough to deal with Vivaria." Gosfried assured, "We can win this war. "

"Can an army fight in winter?"

"Of course, Your Majesty." Gosfried said confidently, "Even if it is the northernmost Iron Crown City in the Kingdom of Vivalia, how cold can it be? Our armor is very warm."

"Then take the army and set off to Kongtide City." Wigrich ordered, "Send people to the north to investigate the war, and there is no news without my order, so don't go any further north."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"If you have nothing else to report, today's meeting will end here." Wigrich said and wanted to get up.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing to report." Bavor Grayhaven said.

"What is it?" Vigrich asked.

"The Republic of Drax came and they wanted to establish a trading post on the east coast of Oakburn."

"Trading post? Don't even think about it." Vigrich stood up. "Tell them that if they want to trade, they can do it in the various ports of the empire, as long as they obey our laws. But don't make money on the territory of the empire." ideas of their own ports and dwellings."

"I have other things to do now, and I can send the things I need to look at." After saying that, he walked down the stone steps, walked past the ministers who made way for him, and left the audience hall.

Vigrich walked along the corridors through gardens full of thyme and lavender, trying to find a moment of peace in this oasis inside the palace, but whether it was the pungent scent of soft thyme soaring into the sky, or the carpet of delicate lavender Even the pleasant tones of the earth could not comfort him.

He went straight to the shrine in the corridor at the end of the garden, because Vigerich knew that Dia was there, and she would always pray there.

Vigrich stepped from the sun into the shadows, and his slightly impatient footsteps caught the attention of his wife who was praying in the shrine.

Dia, dressed in a white velvet robe, knelt before the stone statues of the gods, clasping her hands on her chest.

"My lord, what are you doing here?" She turned her head and looked at Vigrich outside the door with her blue eyes like the clear summer sea.

Diya's pale golden long hair shone under the candlelight, slid over her shoulders like gentle waves, and hung on her frosty and pink neck like a gentle breeze. Sometimes Wigrich would forget his queen So beautiful and alluring.

"I'm here to see you." He walked into the room filled with the scent of roses and earth, and said to her softly: "I have sent my best men to look for Ellen."

"Thank you." Dia thanked, but there was no expression of relief on his face.

"I know you are worried, and so am I, but we must go back to Madkalin first." Wigrich walked behind Dia and said softly.

"I didn't say anything." She stopped praying and got up to answer.

"You don't have to say anything, I can see it in your eyes," Vigrich said. "You're blaming me."

Di Ya turned to look at him, sighed lightly, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I almost forgot that you can understand me, my lord."

But he failed to see through her sister, Vigerich thought, and he paid the price for his underestimation.

"Hope you understand me, we have no better options," he explained.

"You always say that," Dia lowered her eyes and looked at the marble floor. "The choices you make are as cold as snow. Sometimes I wish you had more affection, even a little bit."

"You know I can't let anything interfere with my judgment," Wigrich pursed his lips, "Emotions cannot govern an empire, let alone restore its past glory."
