Chapter 601 Crown Princess

The road of the conqueror is no longer a simple road of migration. It is also the road of enlightenment for the goddess of strategy. She will never allow this matter to go wrong. Her believers in Faerun naturally come out in droves - limited by According to the sacred rules of ascension to the gods, she must not take action herself. The believers' affairs must be resolved by the believers. If the ascension person takes action on his behalf, it will leave flaws on his own godhead. Moreover, igniting the divine fire and raising the kingdom of God are enough for her to be busy. Okay, where is the extra energy to take care of the following things?

The attitude of the Purple Dragon Knights on the wasteland path towards the conqueror's army was very cordial and friendly, not only because they had received orders from above, but also because Princess Yalusel, the brightest pearl of the Kingdom of Cormyr, was also among them.

A cunning guy like King Asan cannot do anything for only one purpose. Especially at this time, sending Yalusel to the army of conquerors is not just as simple as learning from Catherine, but also As an intermediary between the Kingdom of Cormyr and the army of conquerors, especially after entering the goblin frontier, they can not only monitor every move of the army of conquerors openly and honestly, but also ensure that there will be no conflict between the two parties, even after Catherine After returning to the strategic battle fortress, they would probably find excuses to stay, but now even this is omitted.

"General, please look, this is our West Gate High Angle Fort in Cormyr." Yalusel pointed at the majestic building not far away with his riding crop, his beautiful face shining with an emotion called pride. .

She did have reason to be proud. Highhorn Castle was called a castle, but it was actually a city. It was an out-and-out mountain city, built on the top of the Stormhorn Mountains.

Even though this is the lowest point in the entire Stormhorn Mountains, the altitude is over a thousand meters. However, Gavin and the others did not climb directly to the top of the mountain. They only reached one-third of the mountainside. There is an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers here. Canyon Plaza.

Half of this square is natural and the other half is man-made. It is bustling with people and gathers a large number of caravans. They are all merchants waiting to pass through the tunnel in the Stormhorn Mountains.

That's right, what passes through the core of the Stormhorn Mountains is not a rugged and difficult mountain road, but a ten-kilometer-long underground tunnel that perfectly avoids the most dangerous and difficult areas here.

It is also the most profitable business here. Of course, merchants entering and exiting here are not free, but need to pay road usage fees, and the price is expensive. However, those merchants still feel that they are making a lot of money. If they walk on the mountain trail under the same circumstances, they will not only have to spend Dozens of times the manpower and material resources, and the safety factor has been greatly improved.

When the royal family of Obiszil of the Kingdom of Cormyr used countless manpower and material resources to dig this tunnel through the mountain, it was definitely one of the wisest decisions he made in his life, which will benefit his descendants.

"Famous is not as good as seeing it. No wonder High Point Fort is known as the Fortress of Cormyr. It can only be broken from the inside, not from the outside. It turns out that the structure has such unique ingenuity. If I guessed correctly, this fortress should It was the work of a certain dwarf master, no, there was also a top human design master, and it was jointly designed by two masters." Gavin did not hesitate to praise him.

Even if you have seen a mountain city with astonishing size and unique shape like the Dwarf Statue City, you can't help but be impressed by the High Angle Castle.

If the Dwarf Statue City is the pinnacle of dwarf construction, then High Point Castle is the pinnacle of joint design between dwarves and humans.

It perfectly combines the dwarf mountain city with the human castle.

Everything above the mountain tunnel is part of Gaojiao Fort, and it has been completely dug into terraces by them.

But no one dares to regard them as terraced fields, because there are countless corner forts crisscrossing them, and each corner fort has at least one large trebuchet and several large ballistas. However, the surrounding areas are full of food, and they are already full of fruits. Harvest.

There are as many as ten floors of terraces like this, spreading all the way to the top of the mountain, where a magnificent human castle is entrenched, with more various city defense equipment on it, but the most eye-catching one is the castle built on the surrounding hills. Super giant catapult.

The size of this kind of catapult has reached an incredible level. Even from several kilometers away, you can clearly see them. How huge are they when they are up close?

"Sir, your guess is only half right. Not only was this place designed and built by the dwarf master, it is also a castle belonging to the Silver Clan in the Stormhorn Mountains. When my ancestors decided to break through this mountain range, they joined us. They The patriarch Dorn Silverman was the best builder. He later learned and referred to human design concepts and made further improvements here. "

Jalusel is well aware of the history of High Point Castle. This is a compulsory course for a royal child. Jalusel used to be the most resistant to such boring courses. He thought it was useless and could only memorize them completely. It's because Sister Wang's whip is strong enough and she really hits her.

Rather than remembering it herself, it is better to say that the eldest princess whipped it into her mind.

Now she finally understands Sister Wang's good intentions. This kind of open-mouthed situation perfectly satisfies the mentality of showing off. This is the great achievement created by the Obaisqil family for thousands of years. When talking about it, , she was naturally lucky.

Noticing Gavin's gaze, Yalusail continued to introduce: "That is the trebuchet, the Dragon Trebuchet, also known as the Sky Trebuchet, which is built with a mixture of bricks, steel and wood. It is attached with powerful magic and can easily throw several tons of boulders with a range of several kilometers. There are a total of 24..."

"Sai'er, if you continue to introduce, the entire High Horn Castle will be sold out by you." A gentle voice interrupted Yalusail's introduction.

Not far from Gavin and the others, a powerful magic flashed, and a team of knights appeared out of thin air not far away. The one who spoke was the woman in the lead.

This person wore golden dragon scale armor, inlaid layer by layer, covering her from head to toe, but she could still feel her perfect female body lines. She did not wear a helmet, but a crystal crown with a huge dragon eye gem inlaid on it.

She is 50% to 60% similar to Yalusel in her eyebrows and eyes. Both of them have the most orthodox Cormier appearance. The overall shape is like a knife, with sharp edges and corners, a high and full nose bridge, big and bright eyes, like the most dazzling sapphire, and lips with perfect arcs, rosy color and faint pearly light.

However, due to the temperament of both parties from the inside out, the two sides have completely different temperaments.

Yalusel's eyebrows tend to be thick, like two small swords, making her look heroic. Her body has already reached the age of full maturity, but her soul consciousness is not fully mature. She has some childish little movements, and her personality is even more impatient and impulsive. She is an out-and-out tomboy. Even if she usually tries to pretend to be mature and steady, she will be exposed once something happens.

She is not the future regent of Cormier, and she has not even won the reputation of regent princess. She is just a fledgling under the protection of her parents' wings and has not yet spread her wings.

The woman wearing a crown in front of her is different. She has the same eyebrows as Yalusel, but she has carefully trimmed them. There is a sense of heroism in them, but not so ostentatious. Every word and action reveals a dignified and noble temperament. There is a flawless smile on her beautiful face. This smile is obviously professionally trained. It makes people feel the intimacy, but also maintains a proper distance and distance. There is a feeling that you can only watch from a distance and not play with it.

Gentleness, nobility, beauty, heroism and many other unrelated temperaments have achieved a perfect balance in her and merged together.

Most importantly, she also exudes a powerful breath of legend. She is an out-and-out legendary battle mage. Don't be deceived by her attire. The golden dragon scale armor on her body is like Gavin's battle armor. It is a special magic armor that will not bring any negative impact on casting.

As for the Battle Mages, just like their name, they were taught not to study spells but to use spells from the beginning of learning spells, to use spells that are extremely beneficial to construction, combat, and war. They abandoned all research-related expertise and specialized in those expertise and abilities that enhance spell effects, including reducing the ability to use wands and staffs.

The profession of battlefield spellcasters in Tethyr was modeled after the battle mages of the Kingdom of Cormyr, but they went to a more extreme level, which allowed them to quickly master the skills while also limiting their future development. After all, wands and staffs have many restrictions. Below the extraordinary level, the combat power is very strong, but above the extraordinary level, it is a bit insufficient, lacking tactical variability. Above the legendary level, battlefield spellcasters are absolutely useless and become the bottom of the casters.

The superb spellcasting ability of the battle mage is based on his own expertise, which is practical whether it is low-level or extraordinary, or legendary. Then he can turn around to study spells and make up for his shortcomings. They take the route of practicality first and theory later, which can concentrate more.

Another reason why the battle mage is named as a battle is that all battle mages have undergone rigorous military training and are proficient in all the operating modes of the army of the Kingdom of Cormier. Their nature is very similar to the staff set up by Gavin in the Conqueror Army. They are responsible for providing various suggestions to those generals and battlefield commanders. At the same time, as a special combat unit, they provide battlefield firepower support. If those generals or battlefield commanders are killed, they can quickly take over the army and conduct battlefield command.

Anyway, in Cormier, battle mages are synonymous with omnipotence. They can be seen not only on the battlefield, but also in daily life.

The person in front of him was obviously a new legend. He was far from being able to control his aura as freely as the court wizard, but he was also a legend. A legend under the age of 30 was a rising star with unlimited potential in any country or force.

"Sister Wang, why are you here?" Yalusel shouted with surprise. In this world, there were only two people who would call her Sai'er. One was her mother, Queen Phil Farrell, and the other was her sister, Tenalasta, who was several years older than her.

It was indeed her.

Hearing this name, Gavin completely linked this person with a series of intelligence.

This person was the famous Crown Princess, Tenalasta, who was known as the model of Cormier women.

Although the current King of Cormier, Assan IV, had many gossips and claimed that his lovers were as many as his spies, all over the continent of Faerun, he only had one first wife, Queen Phil Farrell, in the palace, and had two daughters for him, the two in front of him.

The throne of the Kingdom of Cormyr is not passed down to males but to females. Instead, it follows the order of seniority. As the eldest daughter of the Kingdom of Assan, Tenaresta was born as the heir to the throne. She was educated as the future king of the Kingdom of Cormyr from childhood.

She did not disappoint people's expectations. She showed a model of a crown prince and a future queen in all aspects. She assisted King Assan in governing the country at the age of fifteen. Now it has been thirteen years. She is not only famous among the noble knights, but also widely supported by the common people.

Because she spends half of her time every year traveling between the countryside and cities of the Kingdom of Cormyr on behalf of her father. She will deal with the corruption and lawlessness of the nobles of Cormyr, as well as the trivial matters of the villagers in the countryside. As long as she encounters them, she will never sit idly by.

Her way of handling things is often fair, just and humane, and it depends entirely on the person and the situation. When necessary, she will even ask King Yassan to amend those inappropriate, illegal and unreasonable laws of the kingdom.

This approach has given her extremely high popularity and prestige. I dare not say that it satisfies everyone, but it can make most people in the Kingdom of Cormyr stand on her side.

Everyone believes that the Kingdom of Cormyr has successors, and their prosperity will remain at its peak for a hundred years or even longer.

In the history that Gavin knows, all this came to an end in 1371. The ancient enemy of the Kingdom of Cormyr, Gezness, a terrifying evil existence that can devour magic, summoned an army of monsters that could tear the country apart with evil magic, and released the ancient hell dragon Narafarosa.

King Yasang and the ancient hell dragon died together. Although the crown princess Tenarsta led the people of Cormyr to defeat Geznath and his army of monsters, she herself was cursed by the evil demon. She tried her best to save the child in her belly, but her soul was dragged into hell. Even the prayer spell could not revive her.

As for the court wizard, he was trapped by Geznath's conspiracy and did not participate in the war at all.

That war was called the Dragon's Tribulation, which directly pushed the fate of the Kingdom of Cormyr onto an unknown path. It was under such circumstances that Yalusel was forcibly pushed to the position of regent to protect Tenarsta's posthumous son, the future king of Cormyr, until he came of age.

"I happened to be patrolling nearby, and heard that the conqueror army led by General Gavin had arrived, so I came to see, and by the way, to see if you, little monkey, had caused any big trouble for others." When facing Yalusel, the Crown Princess's perfect smile had a hint of doting, which was a feeling from the heart, no longer a routine disguise.

Obaisqier's way of training successors has advantages and disadvantages from the beginning.

The disadvantage is that, like the history mentioned above, when the heir who has been trained with all his strength and the king have accidents at the same time, it will be difficult to continue.

The advantage is that the relationship between these descendants is relatively harmonious. At least in the adolescent stage, before they are eroded by power, they can still maintain a relatively normal relationship between brothers and sisters, reducing the chance of troubles.

Even if the non-orthodox heirs have extravagant ambitions, it is difficult for them to pose a substantial threat to the orthodoxy due to the different education and resource allocation since childhood. When Arsang IV succeeded to the throne, his uncle was unwilling to give up the regency in his hands, and the battle for the throne that tried to replace him was a clear proof. Even though King Arsang had just come of age, he easily defeated his uncle's rebellious regime and ascended the throne of Cormyr, creating an unprecedented prosperity.

Of course, this kind of thing is also related to one's natural temperament. Some people are greedy for the royal power, some people have a special liking for adventurous life, and some people like to be idle princes the most.

Yalusel is a typical example. Her education from childhood to adulthood and her innate character make her prefer fighting, studying battle plans, and charging to fight in the most dangerous environment. She is full of disgust from the bottom of her heart for court life, gossips of gossip, and endless banquets.

This is also what she admires most about her sister. She is obviously disgusted with this kind of life from the bottom of her heart, just like herself, and prefers the quiet pastoral life, but she can deal with everyone with the sweetest smile, leaving the most perfect impression on people. In this respect, she is an absolute monster.

"Sister, don't call people by their nicknames in front of outsiders." Yalusail unconsciously revealed her innocent side.

Only she would believe Princess Taynarasta's excuse. Gavin didn't believe it at all. What was nearby? It was simply ordered by King Yasang to come here in person to intervene in this event.

If the Conqueror Army can completely disrupt the situation in the Goblin Border, the stranded westward plan of the Kingdom of Cormier can be put back on the agenda.

He even has reason to suspect that there is an elite army of the Kingdom of Cormier following the Crown Princess.

Doing this will kill two birds with one stone. It can prevent the Conqueror Army from attacking their western gate, and when necessary, it can also pass through the mountain tunnel and appear in the Goblin Border.

Whether to be a spectator or a chess player on the chessboard, it all depends on the Kingdom of Cormier, and they can move forward and backward freely.

The fact that the Obaiszir royal family has been able to pass on for a hundred years is obviously not a fluke. Their excellent bloodline and excellent royal education have contributed greatly to this.
