Chapter 1088 Return of the Principality of Sila

Because of the hatred accumulated over the years, the Principality of Sira and the Principality of Ivalan are destined to be unable to coexist with the Kingdom of Grace.

So Tang En could only choose one between the two.

The Kingdom of Grace has strong soldiers and horses, and its total population is several times more than that of the Principality of Sila and Ivalan. From a practical point of view, choosing the Kingdom of Grace is undoubtedly the best choice. If Tang En was an iron-blooded emperor who only wanted to complete the mission and only had goals in his eyes, he would definitely choose the Kingdom of Grace.

But he's not.

Although the quality of the population is a major condition for him to make a choice, he cannot get over the hurdle of his own conscience.

What are the residents of the Principality of Sira and Ivalan doing wrong? Why do they have to endure Grace's robbery for years? Endure the pain of being separated from your family forever?

But then again, is Grace Kingdom at fault? Although the average quality of their people is very high, the environment is too harsh and people don't have enough to eat. If they want to obtain more resources, they naturally have to rely on their fists. Over time, the habit of strength speaking has been formed in this land.

When the land cannot support the people living on it, they can only seek expansion and obtain more land and resources. This is the biological expansion instinct, so the Principality of Sira and the Principality of Ivalan are unlucky.

In fact, from the perspective of a bystander, no one is right or wrong, only who is strong and who is weak.

What really makes Tang En intolerable is that Grace Kingdom's actions have touched his bottom line.

You can expand, you can plunder food, but you cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately, or even take pleasure in killing. This has exceeded the limit that a modern person can accept.

Tang En thought carefully for a long time, and he finally determined that he simply could not accept such a group of people as his companions.

Then the answer is simple.

Help the Principality of Sira and the Principality of Ivalan to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Grace, and at the same time solve the root causes of the Kingdom of Grace's problems as soon as possible.

Don't get me wrong, Tang En is not planning to commit genocide, he is not that cold-blooded yet.

The reason why the Kingdom of Grace has reached its present state is inseparable from the rule of the Royal Family of Grace. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Looking back, Stanley is a perverted lolita control. His What kind of good thing can the subjects do to please him?

Therefore, Stanley, including his confidants, must not stay.

As for the others, let's wait until everything is settled before conducting a screening trial. Tang En believes that he will not wrongly blame a good person, nor forgive a bad person.

Seeing that Tang En had not spoken for a long time, Palmer asked cautiously: "Your Majesty Tang En, where are your reinforcements?"

Although he was pleasantly surprised to see Tang En, he felt really panicked when he couldn't see the reinforcements.

Tang En came to his senses: "Oh, they are still on the way, they should be arriving soon."

Still, still on the way?

Palmer was about to cry but had no tears. This family was already approaching the city with troops, and the reinforcements had not yet arrived. How could they fight? ?

Perhaps seeing Palmer's worry, Tang En said with a smile: "Don't worry, now that I'm here, this battle will definitely end today. After it ends, I will rush to the Principality of Ivalan as soon as possible. Over there, although I haven’t received their letter asking for help yet, I think their situation is similar to yours.”

Tang En's assurance made Palmer relieved. Thinking about it carefully, His Majesty Tang En is a powerful magician after all. Even if the reinforcements do not arrive, he can defeat the enemy with his strength (Tang En : Meow?), at least it is absolutely no problem to use it to defend the city. It can last for a day, no problem!

After settling down, Palmer suddenly thought of something as if he was blessed. This is a great opportunity!

"Your Majesty Tang En!"

Palmer knelt down to Tang En again: "Please allow me to express my surrender to you on behalf of the Principality of Sila. I am willing to bring the entire Principality of Sila back to the Illrus Empire! Please accept it!"

This is a good calculation by Palmer. If it were the past, even if he applied to return, I am afraid that Tang En and Alleria would not necessarily accept it in order to maintain the stability of the border. They would have to continue to press hard. Act as a buffer before continuing to be plundered by the Kingdom of Grace.

But it's different now. His Majesty Tang En appears here directly. This already explains the problem. There is a chance to return to Illrus!

The attitude of His Majesty Tang En in his words just now is already obvious. He wants to protect the Principality of Sila!

In other words, he has decided to declare war with the Kingdom of Grace!

And it seems that because of Beatrice, His Majesty Tang En is in a good mood at the moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity to express his loyalty directly, the success rate will definitely be much higher than writing a letter!

After Tang En was stunned for a moment, he said with a smile: "Get up. The Principality of Sila has been an integral part of the Illrus Empire since ancient times. Of course I will not refuse your return."

Palmer was overjoyed when he heard this. As expected, it was really that simple!

Don't think it's nonsense for a king to surrender and seek return. If you were Palmer, you would be caught between two big countries all day long and have no chance to deal with them. Moreover, you would be robbed by one of them every year. At the same time, Still watching the overlord's country develop rapidly day by day, I guess you will also be impatient to return to the Illrus Empire.

Again, even after returning to the Illrus Empire, he was directly demoted as the king to the Lord of Sila City, and his life was much happier than before.

The most basic point is that after returning, except for retaining the right to govern the city, all other powers, including military and financial powers, will be handed over. He will not have to worry about border security issues. With the protection of Tang En, he will be able to You can have a peaceful sleep now.

Tang En saw the joy on Palmer's face and felt dumbfounded. This guy was really eager to submit...

Thinking back on how hard the motherland had worked for reunification, and looking at Palmer again, he felt that the world was really wonderful...

Tang En said: "While you are waiting for reinforcements, please tell me about the situation of the Grace Legion so that I can understand something."

Palmer perked up and immediately began to explain it to Tang En in detail. He was unable to detect information that was too specific, but he already knew the basic information.

At the same time, Beatrice's side in Sila City has also entered the formal stage.

As the news that Her Royal Highness the Princess took the initiative to organize the people to resist spread, many people reluctantly gained a little energy and started to get busy, and this motivation reached its peak after Palmer ordered the opening of the granary.

After the granary was opened, a large number of chefs were recruited, and then they began to cook desperately, not looking for fancy food, but just to satisfy their hunger.

What kind of formation do thousands of chefs prepare together in the streets and alleys to cook? Simply spectacular!

The aroma of food wafts over the entire city!

The refugees who fled to Xila City only carried a small amount of food and property with them. Their lives were quite miserable these days. They had already run out of food. Moreover, it was a special period and they could not buy food even with money. Many people were already hungry, so as soon as they smelled the fragrance, they got excited, their eyes glowed green, and they all gathered around.

As soon as they heard that His Majesty King Palmer had opened the granary in order to support His Royal Highness Princess Beatrice's plan, those people were immediately grateful, and their gratitude to King Palmer and Princess Beatrice surged like a fountain.

After they rushed to receive the rationed food, they began to get busy according to the arrangement. A large number of people were called to assemble scarecrows and weave dummies, while others were called to carry water for watering, and some began to water the soldiers on the city wall. They brought food and drinks, and some of them directly replaced the exhausted guards who had been standing guard all night, and took up weapons to guard the city wall for them. This was of course against the rules, but in special times, no one cared about this anymore. Those touching people The soldiers who were overwhelmed felt that for the first time, everything they sacrificed was meaningful.

At this moment, the entire city was mobilized by the Palmer father and his daughter, and the city of Xila was united as never before.

If such a city and such people are to be destroyed, I'm afraid there won't be many countries in Purandar worth saving.

"Your Highness, you are tired, please drink some porridge..."

"No, I've eaten enough and I'm not hungry now."

"But you've been busy for a quarter of an hour... at least have a drink of water."

"All right."

Beatrice took the water, looked at the cracked and worn bowl, and then looked at the simple but anxious face of the woman in front of her. She thought of the exquisite gold bowl she usually used, and the food she usually ate...

Beatrice suddenly felt sad. She seemed to understand why Tang En was so kind to the people at the bottom.

It is they who form the foundation of this country.

Without these farmers who work hard in the fields, there would be no country built on them.

For the sake of this country, and for the sake of these hard-working farmers who cannot enjoy life, she must protect this country!

Your Majesty Tang En, when will the reinforcements you sent arrive?

Our only hope has been pinned on you!

After drinking all the water in the bowl, Beatrice wiped her mouth and asked, "How many dummies have been made?"

"We have worked together and have made two thousand of them. But, Princess, can this kind of dummy really deceive them..."

"I don't know if it can be deceived, but at least this is the result of our efforts."

Beatrice forced a smile and said: "Let's arrange for people to be sent to the city wall. Be careful to keep it hidden and not directly exposed to the enemy. Also, have someone transport more grease to the city wall. Then the hot oil will be boiled." It can come in handy..."

"I understand, Your Highness Princess, but where did you learn all this knowledge?"

The woman was a little curious. Could it be that the royal family still taught the princess this knowledge every day?

When Beatrice heard this, she felt a little guilty and said: "Of course I learned these from my teacher..."

How dare she tell these people that all these skills were learned from the books sold by the Datang Chamber of Commerce...
