chapter 589, chapter 590

On January 5, Marshal Aiyat of Swadia was killed in battle, and Charlotte was recuperating due to illness. Therefore, no one in Swadia could organize an action against the Six-Nation Alliance for a while.

It is undoubtedly a God-given opportunity.

On January 6, when the news of Ayat's death came out, Count Plais, the lord of the Gotthard Fort of St. Ruz near Dehrim, officially declared his rebellion against Charlotte, saying that he would only recognize Haraus as Swava.

King Dia. Then, one after another, by the next day, the lords of all the castles near Dehrim expressed their allegiance to the old lord Haraus. At this point, Charlotte lost the eastern edge of Swadia——

Control of the Continental Center.

On January 8, after learning that the supply line could not be re-established in a short time, the Swadia soldiers who stayed in Rana and Halma in Kugit had no choice but to be self-sufficient and began to collect locally in Kugit.

Purchase food and armaments. Swadian soldiers without supplies need funds to purchase food and armaments. Knowing that looting cannot solve the fundamental problem, the only way is to restore and establish the tax revenue in this area - after an area is occupied

, the original tax system is naturally ineffective, because there will be no fools who still hand over money to the invaders when the lord is no longer there. Therefore, once a place is occupied, if the purpose of the occupation is pure expansion

Territory, if you want to manage this newly conquered land well, then the new lord will have to find ways to find information to verify the information about the previous tax system of the place and restore tax revenue; and if it is just a strategic occupation, it will generally not go out of its way.

After spending a lot of time and energy to fiddle with these, the military supplies of the soldiers in the area came directly from the domestic supplies. When Charlotte attacked Kugit, it was obviously only a strategic occupation, so the soldiers could not obtain anything from Kugit.

Effective taxation. Now that the supply line has collapsed, if they don't want to starve to death, they can only restore the taxation system. However, gradually, the Swadia soldiers found that the troops sent to each village to conduct taxation work never returned. Then

, the Swadia soldiers discovered something that they couldn't believe - desert bandits and snow bandits. In the land of Kugit, snow bandits who were supposed to exist in the Kingdom of Vigia and snow bandits who were supposed to be wandering around suddenly

Desert bandits exist in Salander. And their scope of activities happens to be limited to Lana and Halma, which are ruled by Swadia. These two groups of lawless elements only target those who are sent to collect taxes in various villages.

A small force, when Swadia organized an army to surround and annihilate them, they disappeared to no one knows where.

On January 9, a huge pirate force coming by boat from the sea attacked Palaven, the old capital of Swadia. However, this pirate force did not seem to want to occupy Palaven through a sneak attack, but

They were harassing the coast. They destroyed numerous ships parked on the pier in Palaven and burned down many buildings. The lord of Palaven, Earl Tresweden, repeatedly organized soldiers to fight against these pirates, but they were all defeated by the help of

The pirates who took advantage of the geographical advantage were defeated. Rumor has it that there were two leaders of this group of pirates. One was called Severe, who was the leader of the pirates and was responsible for the overall command, and the other was named Trix, who was responsible for leading the pirates.

Kou is fighting at the front line. However, no one has seen Trix, so it is not sure whether he really exists. In addition, it is rumored that there is a sea monster in that sea area, and this sea monster is covered with seaweed.

, the hands are two meters long, like two chisels, and there is a three-meter-long iron tail. The strange thing is that this sea monster seems to have been helping the pirates to fight the Swadian soldiers.

On January 10, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, led by the Heaven-defying Knight Xie Feng, occupied Uxhall, the second town in Swadia. The lord of Uxhall faced Count Dilinard.

When it became clear that the enemy's siege could no longer be defended, he announced his surrender to Haraus. After Uxhall was occupied, Swadia's defense line in the northeast of the Kingdom of Rhodok was forced to evacuate, and a large number of

Rhodok soldiers poured out from the mountains and joined the main force. The number of the main force of the Six-Nation Alliance jumped to nearly 2,000.

When the news reached Sunuo, Charlotte, who was resting in bed, sat up angrily and threatened to organize an army immediately to suppress the continued invasion of the Six Nations Allied Forces. But Charlotte had not had time to put on her armor.

At that time, he suddenly felt a splitting headache and was forced to suspend the military operation. Instead, he sent people to Palaven to order the lord of Palaven, Earl of Sweden, to organize troops and set up a defense line against the six-nation coalition. However, from Palaven

The information fed back by Palaven is that a large number of pirates have appeared along the coast of Palaven, and they are constantly harassing Palaven. There is no doubt that if Count Treswein leads his troops and leaves Palaven, then the flag on the castle

It will be picked off within half an hour. Although strategically speaking, even if Palaven is occupied by a group of pirates, the Earl of Sweden will be homeless, and the private money hidden in the castle will be collected by the pirates.

There is no other threat than being blown away. However, at this critical moment, Palavon is not only a town, but also the remaining dignity of Swadia - the four towns of Swadia.

Half of it has already been captured. If even Palavon is wiped out from Swadia's territory, the impact on the morale of the military can be imagined.

With Charlotte's intelligence, she naturally understood the hidden interests behind Palavon's gains and losses, so she had no choice but to give up and hope that her inexplicable illness would get better soon - at least temporarily, so that Charlotte could

Strive for a certain amount of time to push back the six-nation coalition forces outside the security line.

January 1. The main force of the 000 Six-Nation Allied Forces led by Xie Feng officially set out from Uxhall to attack Sunuo.

Sunuo has been surrounded by the six-nation coalition, and it is only a matter of time before it is captured. However, even so, the entire siege lasted for three days - Charlotte, who was sick in bed, just fed back the information from the city wall.

Based on the battle situation information, corresponding battle orders were issued in the castle, and the castle successfully withstood several waves of attacks by the six-nation coalition.

It was not until January 14th that the first soldier climbed up the city wall of Suno through a ladder. On January 15th, it was the Swadian soldiers who defeated all attempts to resist in the city of Suno, which meant Charlotte's presence.

The Suno defense battle controlled in the castle failed, which also meant that the pseudo-Svadia regime led by Charlotte was about to go bankrupt.

Under Sunuo's castle, more than a thousand soldiers surrounded the castle.

The Six Nations Allied Forces’ biggest and final enemy—Charlotte is inside!

Harlaus regained his original spirit as a king, and rode on a high horse and shouted to the castle: "Charlotte! You are desperate, come out and surrender!"

Lehmann, who was the first military division of the Six-Nation Alliance, said proudly: "Why surrender? We just used explosives to blow up the castle."

Xie Feng was overjoyed when he heard this. If he directly used explosives to blow up the castle, Charlotte would definitely die. Then he would save the effort of dueling with Charlotte.

Just as Xie Feng ordered the soldiers to prepare explosives, suddenly, Charlotte's figure appeared on a balcony in the castle.

Charlotte's eyes looked indescribably tired, and it seemed that Charlotte's illness was still tormenting her.

However, Charlotte still seemed to be very energetic and shouted to the following: "Xie Feng, you want to blow up the castle, right?"

Xie Feng smiled and shouted: "Yes, how mature do you want me to blow you up?"

Charlotte smiled contemptuously and said: "I don't care about it myself, but I want to know how mature you want to blow your little lover to?"

Little lover?

Xie Feng looked back in shock and saw that Prince Wilson was still riding on his horse, but his eyes seemed a little dazed.

Not that Sera... then...

Suddenly, Charlotte pulled someone out from behind.

Cecilia appeared in front of everyone with her hands tied behind her back and a ball of cloth stuffed in her mouth.

Cecilia's eyes were crying with tears. Since her mouth was sealed, she could not speak and could only keep making unexplained sobs.

"Cecilia!" Xie Feng shouted in shock: "Why are you here?"

Charlotte traced her finger across Cecilia's flawless face and said with a smile: "Do you still remember our battle to recapture Dehreim more than a month ago? The three forces attacked at the same time.

Dehreem - Of course, that was just the message conveyed to you by Julian. In fact, there were only two armies led by Aiyat and I. It was very successful. I deceived your large army to the southwest.

Our main force, which will not appear, is waiting on the plain, and the main force originally planned was led by me to approach from the canyon in the southeast. Originally, the canyon was a good place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. I believe you

I won’t arrange too many soldiers to guard there. As long as the quantity and quality of the soldiers I lead are high enough, I can easily cross the canyon and quickly capture Dehreim back before you have time to react. The plan is perfect.

Yes, the execution process is quite satisfying. But... this girl was killed at the critical moment."

After saying that, Charlotte reached out and pinched Cecilia's cheek, and continued to smile: "I have seen this girl before in Salander. At that time, she sold me a lot of honey with medicinal value.

The urgent need for medicine for our troops was met. Unexpectedly, in addition to the strangeness of the honey, the bees she raised were also not simple. They would actually follow his instructions and launch an attack on our troops. A troop of thousands of people advanced in a narrow canyon.

The people in front were attacked by bees, and the people behind were naturally blocked. Moreover, those bees seemed to be very poisonous. As long as the soldiers were stung by a bee, they immediately lost their combat effectiveness. In desperation,

, I had no choice but to order a retreat, and on the way to retreat, I also caught this girl back... Don't worry, during this time when this girl was by my side, in addition to having no freedom, I provided her with good food and drink.

I won't feel wronged at all."

Xie Feng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Why did you catch her?"

Charlotte still chuckled and said: "First of all, she hindered my plan. Let alone arrest her, even if she was killed on the spot, it would be normal. Secondly, since she will help you alone, her relationship with you must not be simple.

So when the time comes, I can use her as a bargaining chip to negotiate with you - but the irony is that when I am still healthy, I don't need to negotiate with you at all. And when there is a need for negotiation, I

I'm back from illness and recuperating, so I haven't been able to use this bargaining chip...but, it seems that I can use it now."

Xie Feng said calmly: "How do you want to negotiate?"

Charlotte said: "Do you still remember when I was in Suno, when I tried to persuade you to come to Swadia? I said at that time, 'I don't hope that one day, we will meet on the battlefield.' And

Your answer is, 'If the day comes, I'll just stay away.' Now, it's time to fulfill your original promise, right? Lead the troops and leave here immediately."

Charlotte thought to herself: Even if it seems that I have been completely defeated now, as long as I can get through the current difficulties, when my illness is cured in the future, or I don't have attacks for the time being, I will still be confident with the remaining strength.

Can fight against the six-nation coalition.

How could Xie Feng not know this? Now it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely defeat Charlotte in one go. If he really leads his troops to leave immediately, the changes in the future will not be foreseeable by human beings.

But, having said that, why do you have to listen to Charlotte's negotiations? He could have completely ignored Charlotte, or even ignored Cecilia, and directly ordered the castle to be blown up.

But, are you willing to do it?

Even though I knew the nature of this world, when I saw Cecilia being held hostage by Charlotte, I still felt quite uneasy and afraid.

Li Wu on the side seemed to know what Xie Feng was thinking. He sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't think blowing up the castle will pose a threat to Charlotte's life."

Li Wu's words seemed to be resolving the contradictions and embarrassments in Xie Feng's heart, rather than repeatedly emphasizing that Xie Feng should look at the world rationally as before.

But, even so, is it really necessary to lead the troops and leave as Charlotte said?

Suddenly, Charlotte pulled out a delicate dagger from nowhere, put it against Cecilia's face, and said: "It seems I have to give you some motivation to make up your mind..." As she said that, the dagger in her hand
