On a new day, the sun rises.

However, the sunshine in winter did not bring warmth.

The only effect is to melt some of the snow accumulated on the ground, but it makes the wind colder and whizzes through the royal city of Gaynor.

The situation in Gaynor is getting less optimistic.

Bruno Green tore off his mask of hypocrisy, revealing his fierce and brutal fangs, and closing in on the city of Gaynor step by step, expanding from his territory.

Wherever he went, he relentlessly oppressed and extorted the manor owners, civilians, or slaves in the city.

Therefore, many people began to flee all the way out with their things.

They originally regarded the royal city of Gaynor or the territory still under the rule of His Majesty the King as the only “refuge.”

But with the passage of time, the “refuge” on which they rely for survival has gradually shrunk… 

The king could not resist Bruno Green’s attack, and the royal city was constantly approached and precarious under the prying eyes of the jackals.

And Bruno Green did more than that.

He cut off the life of the royal city in many ways, blocked all the roads leading to the royal city, controlled the source of goods of the chamber of commerce, prohibited it from selling goods to the royal city, etc…

These methods all worked quickly.

Bruno Green did everything to get the throne.

Wright also led the cavalry to fight against Bruno Green.

But he got defeated in the end, and in the process of fleeing, Wright injured his lungs. Later, he healed and survived by purchasing herbal medicines and ointments from the Thorns Chamber of Commerce.

He asked for assistance from Xia Zuoyi, and it was really a decision he had no choice but to make.

Xia Zuoyi didn’t agree from the beginning.

He wants Gaynor.

What’s more, the only thing Wright can give is nothing but Gaynor’s throne.

If Wright wants his cavalry to enter the territory of Gaynor for rescue, then he must be ready to offer the throne.

Otherwise, Xia Zuoyi could wait until Bruno Green conquered the kingdom, step on the bloody throne and kill Wright, before coming to take Bruno Green’s life.

After all, the turmoil in the Gaynor Kingdom has nothing to do with the Desinian Territory.

But Bruno Green must die. The difference is whether he dies before or after he ascends the throne.

After receiving the letter for help, Xia Zuoyi put forward clear remuneration and conditions.

Wright hesitated for a long time, then finally agreed after another territory of Gaynor could not resist and get occupied by Bruno Green.

Many people in Gaynor’s royal city opposed Wright’s decision, but he temporarily suppressed them.

Now, the cavalry team of Desinian Territory has entered the kingdom of Gaynor. After discussing with Wright in the palace, some ministers once again raised other thoughts.

An old nobleman said earnestly, “Your Majesty, do you really want to give Gaynor as a reward to Lord Desinia?”

“If you really want to do this, the kingdom will no longer exist from now on and become a city under the rule of Desinia…”

At that time, they are no longer lords. Who will be the mayor…It’s not up to them to decide… 

In the past three years, the Desinian Territory has grown into a force that can not be ignored. Even if Gaynor wants to fight against it, it has to weigh the strength of the kingdom.

But if they want them to belong to the Desinian Territory from now on, they’re not even a vassal…

No territory, no supreme power… How could the nobles in the royal city of Gaynor agree with Wright’s decision?

At this moment, they’re trying their best to stop it.

And tries to persuade Wright that when the Desinian cavalry team and Bruno Green are fighting each other, they can take advantage of the situation and find an opportunity to solve both sides.

The royal city of Gaynor, including these nobles, has long been rotten.

They degenerated, lived a corrupt life, were greedy, and hedonistic. They didn’t care about the outside world until disaster came.

But like ants spinning around, they have no clue and can’t find any effective solution.

They couldn’t help anything, only tried to pull Wright’s hind legs at a critical moment.

…

Wright laughed angrily at what they said.

At the same time, he couldn’t help feeling a sense of powerlessness and exhaustion, both for this country and for himself…

Wright clearly understood that he was not qualified or able to be the king of Gaynor.

He has no feelings for women. He has been on the throne for three years, he has done enough. He acquiesces to the women in the palace to look for lovers but does not allow them to give birth to children.

Wright was very depressed.

He is no longer like himself, who he used to be.

He didn’t have Bruno Green’s ambitions. He didn’t have to inherit the throne.

But he woke up too late. In the beginning, he was almost driven to desperation by Bruno Green, and the most important person died in front of him.

The situation at that time.

If Wright didn’t take the throne, a little carelessness will lead him to a huge abyss and be torn to pieces. However, after he became king, he couldn’t deal with Bruno at will, so that…

Now, these noble ministers are ostensibly for his good, but they’re actually for their own interests, showing a false face.

There are no waves in Wright’s heart.

He said, “Who of you knows about the Desinian Territory?”

The ministers couldn’t help looking at each other.

“It’s just a huge territory, not even a kingdom… I heard that the lord isn’t too old.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Even though Lord Desinia has a black and white cavalry team, it was said it’s all under the full authority of the two knight commanders… Especially the commander of the black cavalry, Fernandi Edwards.”

“He’s still our people.”

“Your Majesty, it’s better to instigate and give benefits to him. At that time, we can…”

“That’s right. The people of Gaynor are working for Gaynor. We can contact Fernandi Edwards secretly… As long as Your Majesty promises him a noble title or…”

“There are so many good things in the Desinian Territory. The Thorns Chamber of Commerce, water-grained paper, red bricks, asphalt pavement, etc. are all from there. If they all belong to Gaynor, wouldn’t they…”

Wright looked on coldly, watching them one by one, showing their greedy and immoral faces.

Stupid and ignorant, dreaming of the impossible.

Wright, “Why don’t you invite Fernandi Edwards to the city and tell him your plan.”

“Will he agree to betray Lord Desinia, or will he kill you first in the royal city of Gaynor…” 

The ministers shut up and were silent for a moment.

After a while.

The old nobleman said, “Your Majesty, Gaynor had been passed on to several generations of kings. You can’t just give it to him…” 

“Knight Commander Edwards was saved by Lord Desinia and had received the grace of support. He probably won’t betray Desinia for Your Majesty’s sake.”

“But you can’t let Gaynor disappear. In this way, even if the former king had already returned to the embrace of the God of Creation, he would not be at ease.”

The other ministers immediately persuaded.

“Your Majesty, Gaynor cannot become a city in the Desinian Territory.”

“I know you don’t want to be a person without credibility, but you should know how to choose at the critical moment…”

“As long as there is a confrontation between Desinia and Bruno Green, one side will fall, and the other side will not be optimistic. Then we can take the opportunity to threaten the other side…”

Kill Bruno Green, or drive the Desinian cavalry team out of Gaynor.

In this way, Gaynor can be saved, and the lost territory can be recovered after the rebels are killed.

“Your Majesty, it’s all for Gaynor!”

“Your Majesty, for Gaynor’s sake, you must make your choice carefully.”

…

Wright, “Needless to say, I have already decided what I mean and won’t be changed.”

He waved to stop the ministers from trying to speak, and said coldly, “I’m tired. Get out.” 

After Wright finished speaking, he shook the bell hanging in the study.

The knight guarding outside opened the door and asked the ministers to leave.

The ministers turned around helplessly and went out.

When they were about to leave the palace, the old aristocrat and some people looked at each other without a trace.

In the middle of the night, these people secretly came to the mansion where the old nobleman lived and were led to the room by the butler, where the old noble was waiting for them.

It wasn’t until dawn that they scattered while no one noticed.

When the last carriage quietly drove away, a man in ordinary clothes came out of the dark corner. Then he took a look at the old nobleman’s residence and walked out of the royal city of Gaynor.

In the forest where the Desinian cavalry troops are stationed.

There was another light snowfall last night, covering all the tent roofs in the entire camp with white.

The mountains were sealed by heavy snow, no one came in and out of the forest, and the surrounding areas were also firmly guarded by soldiers who went to scout, not letting go of any movement.

In addition, today’s Gaynor people are in danger. If they can’t get out of the city, they will try not to get out.

Therefore, this vast mountain forest can be used as the base of the cavalry team, and can be set up guard in advance.

Xia Zuoyi’s tent was built in the middle of the camp.

Udit carefully opened the curtain to avoid the cold wind from entering the tent.

Even if it’s very warm inside, and there are three large beasts lying on the carpet, their huge plush bodies take up almost half of the space.

There’s no place to step on.

When Briquette heard the sound and movement, he turned his head lazily. After finding out it’s just Udit, he turned his head back on the overlapping tiger paws, opened his mouth wide, and yawned.

Udit stood on the edge and looked around the tent, but still did not see the lord.

He couldn’t help but shout with a smile.

There was a little movement in the middle of Snowball and Egg Yolk. Then a small head appeared from there, and caramel eyes looked at Udit.

Xia Zuoyi’s cheeks were red. Obviously, he was resting just now because of the apparent confusion in his eyes. After blinking, he became sober.

He put his chin on the hard but soft fur of Snowball. Behind him was Egg Yolk’s coquettish big head so he kneaded it, “Udit, what’s the matter?”

Udit, “My lord, one of the men you sent to monitor the royal city of Gaynor is back.”

“It’s true that not everyone in the royal city agrees with Wright Green’s decision.”

“Most people are against it, and… After coming out of the palace, some noble ministers quietly gathered at the duke’s residence at night, and did not leave until dawn.”

Xia Zuoyi sat up straight on the back of Egg Yolk.

He said, “I can guess. After all, not many people will really promise to give up a kingdom.”

“Since they are gathered again, presumably Wright Green did not agree with their opinions… I think they are likely to rebel to Bruno Green’s side in the end.”

Udit nodded.

Xia Zuoyi slowly followed along with Snowball’s white fur and said, “In this case, continue to closely monitor them.”

“If they want to give Bruno Green any secret message, let them think that the delivery is successful, and then… When Gaynor becomes my domain, I’ll settle with them again.”

“Yes, my lord.”
