Medieval White Elf Story

Chapter 3: Foreign troubles in the Bain family

The Principality of Zeon is one of the eight principalities that originally formed the Third Kingdom. The eight principalities are the Principality of Zeon, the Principality of Neville, the Principality of Styria, the Principality of Schwartan, the Principality of Vilna, the Principality of Ellon, and the Principality of Buenos Aires. The Principality of Lentak and the Principality of Belson originally only occupied the southwestern corner of the kingdom. They were neither large nor powerful. They were also invaded by Bolencia many times. They were basically just soy sauce characters.But 100 years ago, a handsome Duke Piot I was born, and he married the only daughter of Earl Keen, who owned Crane, the richest province in the kingdom. With the generous dowry brought by his wife, the power of the Principality of Zeon suddenly skyrocketed.Then four consecutive generations of dukes were very powerful, relying on various means to plunder and plunder, and gradually controlled the entire southeastern region of the kingdom. Now with strong troops and horses, they began to have the confidence to challenge the royal family.

Compared with the long time in the past when they could only live in the Swanson Forest and were ridiculed as "monkeys living in tree houses" by the kingdom's nobles, the current Principality of Zeon has food produced in the fertile Crane Plains. , the horses and ores produced by the Kranz Hills, and the wood and fruits produced by Swanir, they established one of the best cavalry regiments in the entire kingdom, laying a solid foundation for the successive dukes to conquer east and west.Quen, the capital of the principality, is located in the very center of the Kranz Hills. It is condescending and easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the most majestic fortress in the south of the entire Kingdom of Estilia.The last Duke of Zeon, Piot IV, conquered the Duchy of Schwartan in the southwest of the kingdom, and formed a marriage alliance with the neighboring Duchy of Belson, which isolated the southern region directly controlled by the royal family from the north and turned it into an enclave. It established the principality of Zeon as the undisputed hegemon in the southern part of the kingdom, and also made the principality of Zeon the most powerful power in the kingdom second only to the Neville royal family.

The Principality of Zeon was the trigger for the recent war between the White Elves and humans.At the beginning, Duke Zeon was covetous of the territory of the neighboring Principality of Werna, hoping to annex the Sorel region to which Werna belongs, which is located in the border province between the Southern Kingdom and Norik, cutting off the connection between the Kingdom and Norik, and thus completely destroying the entire Southern Kingdom. Surrounded.Of course Enver V, who was worried about the strength of the Duke of Zeon at the time, could not agree. He immediately stood behind Werner as a backing, hoping to use this opportunity to combat the ambitions of the Duke of Zeon and ensure the safety of the southern kingdom.Duke Zeon decisively recruited Cecilia as his helper and cooperated with the Kingdom of Estilia, which triggered a new round of war between the white elves and humans.Although the ultimate defeat was so ugly mainly due to the king's lack of support, without the Principality of Zeon leading the way and causing trouble within the kingdom, the situation would not have reached the current situation.

The current Duke of Zeon, Old Tibbs, is nicknamed "The Hammer". His favorite thing is to smash down any of the surrounding small lords who don't like it with a hammer, smash it to pieces, and then swallow it whole together with the territory.The royal family, which was devastated by the human invasion, did not dare to offend this powerful younger brother. Enver VI also hoped that if the human army continued to advance and occupied the royal capital, he would have to rely on the Zeon army to march north to King Qin. For him, The behavior of taking advantage of opportunities to expand strength can only be turned a blind eye and treated as invisible.

As a time traveler, Flynn certainly knew that for the evil wolf next to him, the Bain family, which occupied the fat and oily trade thoroughfare, was just a piece of fat on the lips, plump, juicy, and very delicious.If Wilf hadn't had the title of a direct vassal of the royal family, how could old Tibbs, who always had a good appetite, have been watching the Bain family delay making a move under his nose.

In order to expand his territory, he was a ruthless man who killed many southern noble families without batting an eyelid. To say that he had no idea about the Bain family's territory, I'm afraid even the donkeys in the mill wouldn't believe it.Having such a neighbor in Bain's stall is really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Although Flynn is young, he also knows that for the sake of his future, he must remind his cheap dad to pay attention to the problems of his neighbors.However, all he got in exchange was the cheap dad's disdain: "When your great-great-grandfather was made a viscount by the king, the Zeon family was still living in a thatched hut in the woods. Our Bain family is the king. Duke Zeon, our direct vassal, wants to take advantage of us, which is treason and will be despised by everyone."

Well, it seems that the cheap daddy does not have a deep understanding of what it means to eat the weak and the strong, and he continues to dream of clinging to the royal family to gain protection.But in the current situation, the royal family has been beaten to pieces by the Cecilia people and has no time to take care of itself. How can it be possible that there is still time to take care of whether the territory of a little viscount in the corner is in danger.

If we go by past thinking, after losing a large territory in the north, the Neville royal family certainly attaches great importance to the commercially developed southern royal territory, which is a huge source of wealth that can provide the royal family with an income of more than 50 gold coins every year. It is absolutely unacceptable. Anyone dares to covet his own most important money bag.The Bain family territory, located at the junction of the royal territory and Zeon, is an important front line against the Zeon invasion. The royal family will definitely be particularly concerned about Viscount Bain and is willing to serve as the Bain family's thigh. Flynn's worries are purely Worry.

But the news coming out of the north does not seem to be good for the Bain family. Enver VI has been in deteriorating health since his consecutive defeats in the north, and it seems that he will not be able to survive for a few more years.The Crown Prince who was staying with Erfurt was not only eagerly hoping that his father's condition would improve and buy him time, but he had also been desperately trying to win over the nobles in the country. The Bain family once entertained the Crown Prince's messenger.It seems that His Majesty the Crown Prince has no intention of handing over the inheritance rights obediently, giving up the precious throne that his family has held for more than 1000 years, and returning to become the Duke of Neville. This is just like the Cecilia people intend to support their own puppet to take the throne. The wishful thinking of the machine to control the entire Estilia has conflicted, and the war between the white elves and humans is inevitable no matter how you look at it.

If the war breaks out again, Flynn will not be optimistic about the white elves who have been defeated repeatedly. What they face is Claes IV, possessed by the God of War. It is not comparable to the bunch of generals in the kingdom who only know how to play with women.Moreover, almost all the white elves have been devastated by more than ten years of consecutive defeats. Their expressions changed when they heard "people", and they lost the courage to confront humans head-on.If we suffer one or two defeats after the war begins, will the Neville royal family, which has no idea whether they can keep the throne, still be able to stop the ambition of old Tibbs?

Thinking of this, Flynn could never feel happy.

When he was studying with Elder Nuss, Flynn tried to ask this knowledgeable elder this question, but the answer he received was disappointing.

"The reason why a bad wolf doesn't eat meat is that it's either not hungry enough or there are hunters nearby. If there are no hunters and it wants to fill its stomach, the only thing that can stop it is the blessing of the gods. "
