Chapter 1199: Deception
The giant dragon wearing glasses has a pair of burning wings on its back, and countless illusory sparks slowly fall down with the flapping, as if fluorescent lights are hanging down to the ground.
"Father of Dragons?"
Katelin said doubtfully, this seems a bit strange. The statues of the Father of Dragons are all simple black dragons. Why is it that the dragon in front of her is red, with a pair of flaming wings on its back that look like birds?
"You can think so...Of course, you can also call me...teacher."
Imrik grinned. This was actually the state of his soul. He didn't expect Masnow to trick Katelin into the altar.
That's good now. I'm too lazy to teach martial arts, but I can pick up theoretical knowledge at my fingertips.
When Katelin wanted to ask again, the red dragon slapped the ground: "That's enough, Daughter of Kislev, you don't have much time left. The power of darkness is growing. If you don't want your ice and snow palace to become The first monument of destruction, then shut up.”
"Yes." Katelin stood at attention. Although she didn't know what the Dragon Father wanted to do, there should be no problem...
By the way, I haven't even met Esun, but I met the gods that Caledor believed in first. Is this a bit heretical?
Adjusting his glasses with his fingers, Imrik used his power to create a blackboard and wrote down a line of words: "Future Tsarina, what do you think is Kislev's current predicament?"
So... this is class?
Katelin thought about it for a while. She had heard her father talk about related things, but she never quite understood the clues.
"Is the Ice and Snow Palace not strong enough? It cannot make all the forces surrender."
Imrik couldn't help but laugh. This was really in line with Maozi's theory. No matter what, it was all a matter of strength.
The roaring dragon made Katelin very puzzled. Isn't this wrong? If the Ice and Snow Palace can be as powerful as before, the Patriot Army and the Orthodox Church will inevitably surrender. How could she end up with such a result? Run away. Go to Naggarond and pray before the Dragonfather's altar.
"Isn't it right?"
"From a certain perspective, your statement is correct...but can you solve this problem in a short time?"
Imrik first marked out the main areas of Kislev on the blackboard, "Eastern State, where the capital of Kislev is located, is located at the junction of the cold zone and the temperate zone. Before the Great Holy War, it was always the most densely populated. The area is also the foundation of your Boha family's rule.
Today's Eastern State is a sad scene where backwardness and civilization intersect. Serfs and factories coexist. Countless boyars compete for a little arable land and stage a drama in the ice and snow palace... because they know that the south is more suitable for farming. The state does not welcome the aristocratic grandfather. "
"Northern State, a land of bitter cold, is the headquarters of the Orthodox Church. Apart from bandits, bandits, ascetics and fanatical believers, there are only military fortresses located everywhere, leaving no room for use.
In the Western State, Erengrad controls the seaport of Kislev, and your tragedy is that the kingdom's most important source of financial revenue is managed by the Patriot Army.
The southern state is an emerging agricultural base. With continuous reclamation, the original swamp has become the granary of the entire kingdom... but the Ice and Snow Palace still lacks control. "
"Your main opponents are two, the Patriot Army, which is popular and has a lot of resources in its hands... Needless to say, you should understand how rich the legacy left by General Lascole is.
Not to mention the distant Elf Court of Ulthuan, just in the old world, Oliveira where Lauren Loren is stationed, and Karak Kaderin's Butcher King are all willing to contribute to the Patriot Army.
Although the Orthodox Church is weak, it has the power of religious interpretation and the power of religion in its hands... You must also understand that if it had not been for the forced intervention of Ambassador Caledo, you would have entered Esun Monastery to study the scriptures. "
"I still don't understand..." Katelin explained weakly. She could tell that this was the gods explaining the situation in Kislev, but it was of no use. It was obvious that the Ice and Snow Palace could only resist by joining forces with the Orthodox Church. The Patriot Army.
"Do you know the demands of the Patriot Army?" Imrik asked back. Many generations of tsars have misunderstood the original intention of the Patriot Army and stubbornly believed that it was a sword of Damocles hanging above the Khan's head. There is always an idea to replace it.
According to the normal course of history, this is likely to become true, but the existence of the Blood Snake Brotherhood has solved this problem very well.
The paranoid vampire adheres to the creed left by the general, absorbing several people who voluntarily enter the darkness every year, and serves as a watchman to monitor every general who may bow to power.
"They are..." Katelin wanted to say they were a group of rebellious traitors, but the Dragon Father's words made her shut up immediately.
"They are the shields that stick to the north of Kislev. After the Vampire War ended, tens of thousands of soldiers went to the Prague ruins without hesitation to repair the first shield of the old world.
In the 100 years since the Borha family suffered heavy losses, six generals died in the Troll Kingdom, three in the Pit of Hell, and seven in the Norsca Mountains. The average tenure of each general was only eight years. .
At the same time, in the year 2387 of the Empire, after sixty years of pioneering activities, the swamps accumulated for thousands of years in the southern state were finally turned into farmland, solving the food problem that had plagued Kislev for hundreds of years.
In the year 2465 of the Imperial Calendar, the Patriot Army officially represented Kislev and submitted a comprehensive cooperation agreement to the Phoenix King's Court. In September of the same year, it sent an ambassador to the Eternal Peak of the Dwarves. While condolences to the warriors who died in the Great Holy War, they met with the High King. Signed a joint expedition agreement to Karak Solitude.
In December of the following year, a defensive alliance agreement was signed with Emperor Louis Bode I. Under the witness of Sigma, Ulric, and Tal, the borders of the two sides would be open to each other..."
Imrik lowered his head. The distance between the huge dragon head and the little tsar was only two meters. His heavy breathing made the thin girl tremble.
"Politics, economy, and diplomacy are the foundation of a kingdom... During the two hundred years of the Boha family, except for the Red Tsar who joined forces with Constantine to rebuild the Orthodox Church in order to fight against the Patriotic Army, there were many deeds worth mentioning."
"That's to wake up Esun!" Katelin emphasized that this was the reason for the reconstruction of the Orthodox Church, and it was definitely not to fight against the Patriot Army.
"In fact... Ersun never slept."
A one-eyed man appeared from under the dragon at some point, carrying an inexplicable sadness.
"Who are you?"
Judging from the appearance, this man had obvious Kislevian features, and Katelin felt like she had seen him somewhere.
"Introducing myself, my name is Mazov..." Under Katelin's disbelieving gaze, Mazov said calmly: "Some people also call me the founder of the Patriot Army and the father of the new era of Kislev..." (End of chapter)
