The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 241 Use the iron bird to deliver the message and use the hero to insert the eyes

(I fell asleep due to a headache, and had already made up 6k3 in the morning)

Faced with the document requesting canonization, what Abes had someone write and send back was a decent and correct piece of nonsense.

The parchment is soft and smooth, and the delicate water lines on the paper outline beautiful patterns that seem to shimmer when viewed in the sun.

The border is carefully inlaid with gold decorations, and the delicate patterns and ancient patterns are intertwined, making it look particularly gorgeous and solemn.

The emblem was painted on the top of the document, but this time, the traditional and complicated royal coat of arms was simplified into a three-color coat of arms, with two pure red flags painted on the left and right.

Rather than symbolizing power and glory, this more simplified and imagistic thing symbolizes an idea that can gain more widespread recognition.

Generally speaking, the investiture document needs to be delivered by an envoy riding a griffin to express the royal family's importance and respect for it.

But now, the king is very nervous about the use of griffins.

Originally, griffins, as magical beasts, were raised in the wizard tower on the floating island.

At that time, the floating island had become the "turtle shell" of a giant. The air force soldiers of the Iron Bird Formation, while helping to transfer talents such as mages and apprentices, naturally opened the interception net for breeding griffins.

This allowed the griffins to escape like the mages and apprentices, avoiding the tragic fate of being killed by the giants along with the floating island, or being affected by subsequent related battles.

However, the other griffins are not as obedient as the one in Abes's hand.

On the one hand, they have not experienced the process of being hit by the modified acid curse and then being healed back to life;

On the other hand, they have never experienced the process of being in tune with each other and engaging in exhilarating aerial combat under the protection of a mount.

To put it simply, they only trust the deceased Robert the Younger and a few professional people who train griffins.

Therefore, as the interception net was opened, after realizing the danger of the floating island, the magical beasts of the royal capital, the griffins, did not follow the guidance of the iron bird formation to land, but took advantage of the chaos in the royal capital to fly away.

Although some of them came back later on, they were afraid to land or simply left because of the red dragon entrenched in the central square of the royal capital.

Otherwise, Kronos would have built a temporary food assembly line in the royal capital in order to appease the red dragon and satisfy the dragon's desire to convert large amounts of food into energy.

The attraction of the food and the sense of security given by the red dragon's lack of aggression finally made some of the griffins fly down.

If it weren't for this strange coincidence, the capital might have gone from being the only place in the capital where griffins were raised to being the only place without griffins.

And after that, Abes had no vanity of royal exclusivity.

As one of the rare aerial mounts, Abes naturally arranged for the griffin taming talents who had a long-term master-apprentice inheritance in the royal capital to actively carry out the taming and training.

The goal of taming training is to use it as a supplement to the Iron Bird formation or a training tool for air force soldiers.

After all, just like the modern navy, some wooden sailing ships are still retained for daily training;

Or some places still retain mounted police as part of the police force.

Therefore, in the royal capital, in the current small kingdom of Wommza, it is not a bad idea to choose to retain griffins as part of the air force.

But Abes' decision was a good one.

It was a bit difficult for the Griffin when it came to executing further.

The number of these griffins is certainly sufficient to serve the king or Abes alone.

However, if the army were to use such a level of equipment, the number of griffins currently remaining in the capital would not be enough.

At this time, an envoy was specially dispatched to fly on a griffin to the western land where the safety situation was unknown, to deliver a document of evasion and delay.

The risks are huge and the benefits are disproportionate.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, Kronos and Gavirin came up with new ideas, which they came up with after asking and investigating many soldiers.

"Use an iron bird to deliver it?!"

After being surprised, Abes immediately calmed down. After all, if she didn't investigate, she would have no right to speak. Since Kronos had already conducted the inquiry, the opinions she put forward would definitely be more in line with the soldiers' wishes than her own assumed denial.

After a brief exchange, Abes also realized that this was a brilliant move.

Because, whether using the Griffin or the Iron Bird, an air force fighter is needed to carry out the operation.

However, if the other party finds out that it is not a document of enthronement but a delaying document, they will decide to take a break.

Obviously, an iron bird that can be made in a few days is much cheaper than a griffin that is missing and cannot reproduce or capture another one in a short period of time.

Moreover, in this world, there are so many ways to capture and use magical beasts.

After the other party broke off relations, he also sent a flying mount to the other party. Even if it did not have a huge impact on the battle situation, it was still a bit embarrassing.

But sending an iron bird is a little different.

Even if the air force fighters were killed, the iron bird was controlled by them.

However, without the means to create magic crystals, and without training and operation, it is unlikely that they will be able to drive it;

Without talents like Sister Agatha and Kronos, it would be even less likely for them to reverse analyze anything useful.

Perhaps it could be done by spending more time and recruiting more talents, but it was obvious that Abes and the entire unified Eastern region would not give them this time.

Similarly, the other forces in the small kingdom will not give them this time.

In addition to these reasons, the most important reason is to counter the other party's psychology and preserve the safety of our own people as much as possible.

Abbes has analyzed this before.

The other party either believed that the king was still in power in the capital and hoped to get a glimmer of recognition;

Or they believed that the person in power was General Paddy and that this move was a signal for a fight.

But no matter which one it was, he was at a disadvantage and in a state of fear.

Because he was at a disadvantage, he wanted the king's recognition; because he was at a disadvantage, he hurriedly challenged for a fight in order to interrupt General Paddy's efforts to integrate the Northeast region.

Regardless of whether the other party thinks that the person in power is the king or General Paddy, when an unprecedented and unheard-of steel flying vehicle suddenly emerges from their forces, it will definitely bring deeper fear and shock to the other party.

The more afraid the other side is, the safer our envoy will be.

In this case, driving an iron bird might be ten thousand times better than riding a griffin!

After the iron bird took off from the royal capital with the documents, Abes also decided on the candidates to go to the western region of the small kingdom and set off.

----------

Dividing the east and west sides of the small kingdom is a narrow but towering mountain range.

Only in the northernmost part of the small kingdom was there a gap.

It is precisely because of the barrier of mountains that the east and west sides of the small kingdom actually have very different styles.

Because of the blood curse loopholes left by the devils in the contract, the North and its people have almost become accustomed to a regime that is divided and divided again.

Under such circumstances, it was indeed not easy for the small kingdom of Łomza to maintain stable rule for several generations.

A major help in persevering in this difficult situation was the pass at the northern gap, a military pass called Carterburg, which was more dangerous than Crowburg and connected the east and the west.

However, unlike Fort Crow, which existed purely as a military fortress, the core of Fort Carter was not defense but protection.

It exists to connect the East and the West, and to prevent the division that is so common in the North from befalling the small kingdom of Wommza.

It is only because this communication route is located at the edge of the border and does not have much depth that multiple walls and castles had to be built.

If the Castle of the Ravens is an egg-shaped pebble, both inside and outside are equally hard and dead;

Then Carterburg is a real egg, and its calcium carbonate shell is to protect the actively growing little life inside.

And this is the difference between a fortress city and a military fortress.

Carterburg has three walls.

The innermost part is the kingdom's carefully maintained urban area, which usually has some squares.

In the central square, many people set up stalls to sell various vegetables, food, seasonings, large and small tools, and new gadgets.

The second wall protected the important military and political area, which housed not only officials’ offices but also heavily guarded granaries and arsenals.

Because such a position as an important "bridge" with independent officials and troops makes it easier to deal with emergencies.

The third city wall is more like an unfinished circle of stone walls than a city wall.

This was because building three walls was a time-consuming, labor-intensive, costly and food-intensive task. In the end, it seemed that the money was diverted to emergency disaster relief, resulting in insufficient funds, so the last round of construction was shelved.

Because this circle of city walls was not completed, in order to supplement the protective function that this circle of city walls should have provided, the soldiers of Fort Carter could only set up the garrison camp and base here.

It is equivalent to using the soldiers' own bodies and vigilance as the first layer of the city wall.

Generally speaking, the stationing and patrolling of soldiers ensure that a high level of vigilance and security is maintained here.

During the day, the soldiers patrolled the city walls, watching for caravans and travelers passing by; at night, they stood guard by the campfires in their garrisons, guarding against any possible threats.

However, when the threat did not come from outside the small kingdom, this made these simple soldiers feel very uncomfortable.

General Paddy's transfer caused all the forces, big and small, in the small kingdom to feel insecure. As rebellion was raised all over the country, Carterburg was forced to be involved in the struggle for power.

In the end, Carterburg was able to temporarily use force to force some of the surrounding forces to recognize its neutrality, a neutrality that was determined to last until the chaos in the small kingdom ended.

The civil strife in the small kingdom did not destroy the prosperity of Carterburg.

On the contrary, due to the neutrality upheld by the leaders here, it has become a very safe place for civilians.

Because Fort Carter has its own granaries and arsenals, there is no need to turn the blades on civilians and force them to join its forces like those guys whose lives and property were taken away by General Paddy.

And because Carterburg can also obtain funding through commissions from the trading market, there is no need to rigidly restrict the flow of human resources or forcibly plunder their property.

This led to countless civilians coming here with tents, blankets or cloaks.
