Chapter 535: Phoenix County Crisis and the Movement of Tan Aili's Army
The situation in the capital was finally brought under control thanks to the efforts of all parties, and Kashin successfully completed the arduous task he had been entrusted with.
However, this did not end there. Cashen rushed back to Sheldon Castle without stopping, but he did not even have time to rest for a moment before he quickly made the next deployment.
He decided to leave the first team stationed there and continue fighting across the country in case there was an emergency that needed to be dealt with.
He himself set out on his journey again without hesitation and went to Phoenix County alone.
Because according to the latest news, the situation in Phoenix County has completely gotten out of control.
If Madam and Blainey are too busy dealing with the affairs of Phoenix County, they may encounter unexpected dangers.
Therefore, Kashen knew that the most urgent task was to find out the dark pastoral forces hidden in the dark in advance, stabilize the plague situation spreading in the local area, and ensure that the army's station was absolutely safe.
At this moment, the entire situation is extremely serious. The leader is unable to transfer more manpower to support the battle as he is also facing tremendous pressure in other places.
As for the urgently needed medicine materials and other supplies, they can only try their best to solve them. They send magicians to change Vita to visit major magic associations around the world, communicate and coordinate with them, and strive to gain their support and help.
At the same time, Viteta intends to take this opportunity to widely publicize the heinous and horrific deeds of the Dark Priest in order to attract more people's attention and vigilance.
In fact, it was also a big business. The king was particularly concerned about Viteta's cooperation and offered a high reward.
When a country wants to fight against the church and change the shape of ignorance and darkness, it means an increase in the number of magic apprentices. For the leader of Viteta, the place to expand talents is the future Pumasai.
If he wants to have the final say in the Magic Island, he needs a steady stream of talent, so the Kingdom of Pumase is very likely to bring endless benefits to Viteta in the future.
The magician's spell model is the culmination of mathematics and physics. In a place dominated by religion, it is impossible to popularize mathematics and physics, so it has nothing to do with technology.
It should be noted that the Lord claims that He created all things in the world, but if that is the case, how could He tolerate humans analyzing the mysteries of nature?
After all, wouldn't it completely negate the great role played by the Lord? In this era when mathematical knowledge is extremely low, the group of magicians is naturally extremely rare.
Take the Blainey family for example. There is nothing special about them. Their family started out as a business family, and all the nephews and nieces in the family are good at accounting.
Although this simple arithmetic ability is not a great skill, this insignificant mathematical foundation is enough to train some magic apprentices.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, theology and mathematics can be said to be sworn enemies.
And those magicians more or less understand why magic apprentices are so scarce.
However, since Tan Aili carefully planned and implemented the bloody massacre in the cathedral, she actually proposed to convert the cathedral into a craftsman college.
He also claimed that many craftsmen will benefit from this in the future, thereby further expanding the handicraft field.
Here, all craftsmen must learn the so-called "craftsman mathematics". In this way, the resurgence of religious forces can be effectively curbed.
This is because Tan Aili herself was an elite believer carefully cultivated by the church, and she has a very thorough and profound understanding of religious doctrines and internal operating mechanisms.
Therefore, in the top-level vision of the leader of Viteta, Pumasai is worth more than the mob in the world, and its alchemy technology is also second to none. It is just that it lacks materials and is not competitive in making weapons.
It is second to none in the field of daily necessities, especially as the birthplace of precision pocket watch movements, representing the highest achievement of the pinnacle of micro-alchemical layout.
If it were not Blaney's private territory, the leader could easily poach talents here. It was intentional that Blaney retained his interests and quietly supported his growth.
Without further ado, Kashin and his wolf arrived at the city gate and quickly climbed over the city wall in a hanging basket and entered the city.
Then he went to the prince's palace. This prince was the king's younger brother. He still remembered that Blainey and Cashen had changed the owner of Phoenix County. Now it was controlled by the prince's family. There was a solid royal barrier in the southwest line, which played a role in changing the overall situation.
"Viscount Kashin, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look more energetic than ever!"
"Ah! The matter in the capital has just been settled, and yet he rushes here again. Your Highness the Prince used to be handsome and elegant, how could he have aged so quickly?"
"Ah! It's hard to put it into words. According to statistics, 20% of the city's population died. Thanks to Mr. Sendy's timely appearance, you are all benefactors of this city. At this critical moment, you came here without hesitation.
This king seems to see hope! Viscount Kashin, your wife is two hundred miles away from here. This king asked her to postpone entering the city, so he turned around and went to suppress the bandits. Perhaps the army will occupy the bandit den to spend the winter. It is very difficult for the army to travel now..."
Kashin nodded slightly in agreement, thinking to himself: His Royal Highness made such arrangements because he was worried that the imperial guards would be accidentally infected with the terrible plague.
After all, once the disease spreads in the army, the consequences will be disastrous. And now such a deployment can be said to be just right.
Then he moved to the prince's study and his eyes fell on the huge spread-out map.
All I saw was clear markings on it of each area and the territory that the lady had conquered.
Judging from the picture, the lady's attack speed is quite fast. The army she leads sweeps through like a storm, and is unstoppable wherever it goes.
At this time, a detailed military report was presented to Kashin, who took it and read it carefully.
As he read deeper, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face. It turned out that after the fierce offensive of the lady during this period of time, most of the lords had chosen to surrender.
These lords knew that the situation was hopeless and that continued resistance would be futile, so they laid down their weapons and expressed their submission to the lady.
According to the current situation, the next thing to do is to escort these surrendered lords to the capital to apologize to the emperor.
As long as they truly repented and were willing to cooperate with the court's measures, they might still have a chance to save their lives, or even receive a lighter sentence or lenient treatment. Thinking of this, Kashin could not help but be full of expectations for the future.
From this point of view, the military is the simplest and most direct way to change the world...
"Your Highness is exhausted and has suddenly become an old man. You must take some rest. Leave the rest to the magician. It will be useless for Your Highness to worry!"
"I know that being anxious is useless! However, people are being killed and injured every day, how can I not be anxious, especially in the army... That is a new army that has been trained with huge investment, and the population is already sparse. It is not easy to recruit these new soldiers, and now they have suffered a heavy blow once again..."
Kashin understood that this was a fundamental blow. Phoenix County was already a mess, and they had worked so hard to train a group of new soldiers and expected them to fight and restore order. Now, that seemed like a long shot.
