Chapter 243 regret

Anya was taken aback for a moment, then giggled, looking at Hua Yun's back, she couldn't help but think to herself: I didn't expect Master Hua Yun to have such a playful side.

In the royal palace of the Sith Kingdom, King Lesant sat on top with a sad face, and in the hall below Laisant stood more than 30 ministers of the Sith Kingdom.These ministers all stood silently, some fiddled with their fingers, and some stood quietly, none of them dared to make any sound, lest they offend Lacent.

Lacente secretly counted the number of ministers below, and saw that there were only more than 30 standing in the palace, and most of them were officials with low official positions. The only thing that made him feel relieved was that Prime Minister Gris was still there. .And Lei Ao and other important ministers all claimed to be sick at home.

Recently, the Sea Clan has been attacking cities and towns within the Sith Kingdom with their superior strength.The Kingdom of Sith is just a kingdom, and it is not as big as the Caton Empire to build large fortresses on the border.Except for a small Moroz Fortress near the border of the Caton Empire, the entire Sith Kingdom is full of commercial cities.

In just a few days, the Hai Clan has captured four large cities and three provinces.Not only that, but the 30 troops dispatched never returned.What made Nexant feel even more dejected was that he asked the Caton Empire for help, but the Caton Empire didn't respond in the slightest.These few incidents made him very troubled, and even most of his hair was graying.

The entire Sith Kingdom only has eight provinces, and half of the country was captured by the Sea Clan in just a few days. In desperation, Laycent let Thalia and other three holy masters guard the remaining provinces. four provinces.

Although there are three holy masters, Laycent is very clear about them.Facing the powerful strength of the Sea Clan, only three holy masters cannot stop the attack of the Sea Clan.For this reason, Laycent sent out all the masters in the court who had reached the sixth level or above.Now in the entire palace, the highest strength is only the fifth rank.

Lacente raised his eyelids, and asked feebly, "Ministers, what's your opinion on the Hai Clan's attack?"

The ministers standing below looked at each other when they heard what King Laycent said, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.The dozing ministers who were shaken awake looked at the crowd in bewilderment.

A minister stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty! The number of combatants in our country has dropped sharply in recent days. For this reason, I propose to recruit mercenaries to help us guard the city and resist the attack of the Sea Clan..."

"Go down!" Laycent waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the minister's words.

Then the minister was interrupted by Lacente, hesitated for a while, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! I haven't finished yet..."

"Okay! Prime Minister Gris told me about your proposal the day before yesterday." Lacente's expression was serious.

Seeing Laisant's unkind expression, the minister swallowed the words he hadn't blurted out with interest, and walked back to his seat in a dejected manner.In the entire palace, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.Seeing that Lacente was angry, the other ministers didn't dare to say anything easily.

The day before yesterday, Gris had already proposed to Lesant about recruiting a mercenary group to resist the attack of the Sea Clan.At that time, Nexant applauded this method and asked Gris to do it.

However, it has been two days since Gris released the mission in the mercenary union.There were very few mercenary regiments who came to take on this task, even if there were some rookies who had just become mercenaries and small mercenary regiments with less than 50 members.When some other old birds and large mercenary groups heard that they were resisting the Sea Clan, they quit immediately.

For this reason, Nexant asked Gris to triple the price again, but still not many mercenaries came.In the past few days, the Sith Kingdom has lost four large cities and three provinces one after another, which has made people panic.In the kingdom, there are constant rumors that the Sith kingdom is about to perish.Many nobles and commoners of the Sith Kingdom have already begun to prepare to move to the Four Great Empires.

Originally, the employment price offered by Nexant was considered very high.The reason why the large mercenary groups did not accept this task was because they knew that the loss would be far greater than the reward if they accepted this task.The mercenary group will never do such a loss-making thing.

Although Lecent was the king of the Sith Kingdom, he couldn't force the mercenaries to help him resist the attack of the Sea Clan.If Laicent did this, the Mercenary Union would be the first to let him go.The mercenary union that has stood on the continent of Allen for tens of thousands of years has existed since the founding of the Dragon Empire.Such an organization that crosses national boundaries contains potential power, even the four empires dare not annoy it.What's more, Lecent is just the king of the Sith Kingdom.

Laycent is useless now, and most of the nobles in the entire capital have secretly migrated to the Four Great Empires, along with those masters raised by the nobles.Even the aristocrats who stayed in the royal capital secretly gathered masters around them to protect themselves for their own safety.

It can be said that it is extremely difficult for Lecent to find a sixth-level strength expert to work for him in the capital.As king, he really failed.

"Your Majesty! Commander Hanmo of the Desert Mercenary Corps, together with five members, begged for an audience." At this moment, a guard ran in.

"The mercenary group? They're here to pick up the mission, right? You take them to the conscription camp to accept the arrangement of General Monique..." Laycent was worrying, but for a moment he couldn't hear the name of the mercenary group reported by the guards.

"Your Majesty! Slow down!" Gris hurriedly stood up and prevented the guard from leaving.

Seeing Gris's move, Lacente wondered, "Huh? Gris, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty! As far as I know, this desert mercenary group is still very famous in the mercenary world. I heard that their head Hanmo and deputy head are both eighth-level masters. Moreover, there are two seven High-level magician..." Gris explained.In the past few days, he has been going around in the mercenary union, and he has heard of the desert mercenary group.

"Two eighth-level masters..." Laycent's face softened a lot when he heard that there were two eighth-level masters, and he quickly waved to the guards: "Quick! Let them in quickly." As a king, he Naturally understand the meaning of Gris' words.In addition to two eighth-level masters, the desert mercenary group also has a good reputation.If they can be recruited, and when the news spreads, it may attract many mercenaries to join.

Soon, the guards brought Captain Hanmo of the Desert Mercenary Group and five other members into the hall.

After entering the main hall, Captain Han Mo of the Desert Mercenary Corps looked around for a week, glanced at the ministers, and frowned slightly.strangeness!Why isn't Master Huayun here?

Shad secretly whispered into Hanmo's ear and asked, "Commander! Why isn't Master Huayun here? Didn't you say that Master Huayun is a court planter in the Sith Kingdom?"

"Don't talk, the leader has his own arrangements." Aloha, the deputy leader, secretly gave Shad a kick.

Seeing the members of the Desert Mercenary Group coming in, Laycent hurriedly showed a warm smile, and asked cordially, "Are you all warriors of the Desert Mercenary Group?"

"Your Majesty the King! This is Han Mo, the head of the Desert Mercenary Group." Han Mo saluted, then raised his head and said, "I have something to ask Your Majesty the King."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Hanmo then asked, "Why didn't you see Master Huayun in the palace? Isn't Master Huayun the court planter of the Sith Kingdom?"

"Hua Yun..." Lacente immediately became a little weird when he heard this name.

"Hmph! That traitor Hua Yun is no longer a planter of the Sith Kingdom. This traitor who united with the orcs to seize the province of Costa is not worthy of being a planter of the Sith Kingdom." A minister who didn't know why suddenly said shouted up.

"It turns out that Master Huayun is in Costa Province!" Han Mo replied, stopping the group members who were about to rush forward to teach the minister a lesson.

"Let's go, go to Costa Province to find Master Huayun."

Hanmo led the other five members and walked out of the palace without even saying goodbye.The flushed King Lacent and a group of bewildered ministers were left behind.

"Come here! Drag this guy out for me." Gritting his teeth, Laycent pointed at the minister who scolded Hua Yun, and asked the guards to throw him out.Originally, Laycent wanted the guards to kill the minister, but when he thought about it, it seemed that the minister was right.The news that Hua Yun was a traitor was an order issued by Lacente himself.In the end, he asked the guards to throw the minister out.

You have to eat the bitter fruit you planted yourself, and now Lacente has finally experienced this feeling.Thinking of Hua Yun, he felt extremely regretful.In his life, he had never made any mistakes.But in the choice between Huayun and the Caton Empire, he chose to attach himself to the Caton Empire and gave up Huayun.This was the only wrong choice he made, and it was also the choice he regretted the most.

In the headquarters of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce in Bostar City of the Aolai Empire, President Rogge spit out the top-quality Mantes wine in his hand, reclined on the sand leather chair made of the fur of the Moro beast, squinting his eyes slightly, Feel the mellow and sweetness brought by the Mantes wine in your mouth.The faint smell of wine mixed with an intoxicating aroma poured into the brain through the nasal cavity.

That's right, it's the best Mantes wine, Rogge secretly praised it.

This top-quality mantes wine is made from berries called mantes from the deep part of the Demon Mountains.The Demon Realm Mountains are full of dangers. To go deep into the middle and deep part, one must have at least eighth-level or higher strength.However, mantes berries only grow in the deep part of the Demon Mountains, and the number is very small.Therefore, mantis berries are also extremely expensive.The price of an ordinary mantes berry in the market is thousands of gold coins.And the best mantes berries can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins.
