The Knight's Journey to the Empire

The battle between the Kingdom of Midburg and the Principality of Glia over the ownership of the great iron mines of Lorraine in the Barinas Mountains.

So far, it has been more than half a year.

The two countries had fought to the death on the border, and the situation could have escalated into a war of aggression and counter-aggression.

But in the end, no one expected that this sudden war would end in such a dramatic way.

As for the ownership of the Lorraine iron ore, both sides will eventually have to return to the negotiating table to resolve it.

Although the Kingdom of Midburg was confident of winning because they had the eldest son of the Principality of Glia.

But what is very strange is that so far, the negotiations have not yet ended, and there is no end in sight.

When the negotiations began, the attitude of the Principality of Glia was indeed that it was eager to take back its unfortunate eldest son, and it was even willing to give up some vested interests for this.

But later on, for some reason, the attitude of the Principality of Glia suddenly changed, and they were no longer so enthusiastic!

Moreover, they began to negotiate with the Kingdom of Midburg at the negotiating table, haggling over various interests and even unwilling to give a penny.

Although the Kingdom of Midburg did not know what had happened to cause the Principality of Glia's attitude to suddenly change 180 degrees, it was obvious that the Principality of Glia was stalling for time.

But the Kingdom of Midburg could do nothing about it!

Because although the eldest son can be used as a hostage to threaten the Principality of Glia, he cannot be really harmed.

After all, no matter whether the Principality of Glia currently attaches importance to this eldest son, this eldest son always represents the face of the Principality of Glia.

Therefore, if the Kingdom of Midburg really does anything to hurt or humiliate the eldest prince, then there is a high possibility that the two countries will go to war again.

Coupled with their failed performance on the battlefield at that time, they were considered the defeated party.

So as far as the current situation is concerned, the Kingdom of Midburg no longer has any negotiating advantage at the negotiating table.

So, even though so much time has passed, the Lorraine iron mine has not been able to resume production and is still in a state of suspension.

Because at the negotiating table, neither side was willing to give in.

But something happened a week ago that made the negotiations even more complicated.

It turned out that the Kingdom of Essex in the south suddenly dispatched a legion of troops and stationed them on the northern border bordering the Kingdom of Midburg.

The official statement of the Kingdom of Essex was: His Majesty King Chris VI felt extremely ashamed of the shameless behavior of the Kingdom of Midburg sending troops to rob the Principality of Glia of the Lorraine Iron Mine! Therefore, he sent troops to support the Principality of Glia and was willing to help the Principality of Glia take back the resources that originally belonged to it!

The Essex Kingdom's Legion pinned down the Midburg Kingdom's Red Flame Legion in the southern County of Ulster.

This makes the Principality of Glia seem to be more confident at the negotiating table!

Logically speaking, if the Principality of Glia and the Kingdom of Essex joined forces to fight against the Kingdom of Midburg, it would undoubtedly be an act of drinking poison to quench thirst!

But the Kingdom of Midburg has no idea whether there is any cooperation between the two countries!

In order to confuse the public, the Kingdom of Essex also specially sent several envoy teams to pay a state visit to the Principality of Glia.

Such true and false performances made the Kingdom of Midburg dare not take any rash actions or stir up trouble without knowing the specific situation.

This caused the negotiations to come to a standstill again.

But in fact, there is no cooperation at all between the Principality of Glia and the Kingdom of Essex.

The military actions of the Kingdom of Essex were completely autonomous and had nothing to do with the Principality of Goliath.

They sent several teams of envoys to the Principality of Glia for state visits, but they were just visits.

However, the negotiations between the two countries came to a stalemate as a result, and the Principality of Glia was happy to see this.

So I just went with the flow!

After all, it would be good to dampen the arrogance of the Kingdom of Midburg!

As long as there is no large-scale military conflict between the two countries!

Of course, if a military conflict breaks out between the Kingdom of Midburg and the Kingdom of Essex, the Principality of Glia will definitely stand on the side of the Kingdom of Midburg.

Because between the eldest son and the country's destiny, the Principality of Glia can still clearly distinguish which is more important!

..............................

After a long moment of deep thought, Soran sighed and slowly put the envelope down.

The most noteworthy information in this letter, apart from the meaningless greetings from distant family members, is the news that the Kingdom of Essex suddenly sent troops to confront the Kingdom of Midburg on the border.

As for Sauron, this information is both relevant and irrelevant!

First of all, he is a nobleman of the Kingdom of Midburg after all. If the nest is destroyed, all the eggs will remain intact!

If a war breaks out between the two countries, he will inevitably be affected to varying degrees, and may even have to participate in the war again.

But if we really want to talk about it in detail, this incident happened in Ulster County, the southernmost county of the kingdom, which is quite a long distance away from Garnese County where he is!

Besides, he was just a small baron with little influence, and he couldn't have a say in the war between countries!

So is this what they call "eating salty food and not worrying about it"?

Soran shook his head helplessly, throwing away all these thoughts that shouldn't be his to think about!

The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is. If the sky falls, there will be taller people to hold it up!

Why are you worrying about nothing here?

Funny!

Anyway, one thing remains unchanged. No matter how things develop in the end, the best way is to focus on developing your territory and enhancing your strength and foundation.

However, I should also make some backup plans so that when a war breaks out suddenly, I will not be forced to respond in a panic.

So it's time!

It's time to use some methods exclusive to time travelers to increase your foundation!

In the past, Sauron had no foundation, so he didn't dare to act recklessly!

But now, I have both the title and the territory!

Then you can let go and start doing some work!

"Thomas, go to the government office now and call Adam, the government official, over to me first!"

"Yes, Master!"
