Safeguarded the Borders for a Hundred Years, My Clan Was Burnt at the Stake
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After sitting down, Queen Mavis glanced to her right. The three people in front of her were the three most important elders apart from her.
They were Dominique Cadaver, Dolores Cook, and Abigail Campbell. All three of them were dressed the same, and all of them were over a hundred years old.
As for how strong they were, even Queen Mavis herself did not know.
Because these people had been around since the rule of the last Queen.
It was because of these people that the archbishop and the other nobles did not dare to touch Queen Mavis.
On the right were the four largest noble families of the Duchy of St. Margaret, William Sledge, Adams Jerry, Rodney Gregory, and Corkin Leo.
Although all four of them were just Castellans, they, in reality, ranked only one level below the Queen.
Therefore, their attitude toward the queen was very bad. If it were not for the three elders and the archbishop, they would have already started provoking Mavis.
After everyone was present, Mavis proceeded to tell them everything that had happened in Fergus.
After listening, the archbishop touched his goatee.
“Hmm, I didn’t expect the grand mage Hall to be gone!”
“This mage has protected the peace of the entire Seville continent for close to a hundred years.”
After the exclamation, he began to talk about the main issue at hand. “Since it has already come to this, I will dispatch a Sacred Knight to Kejins.”
“I will also send three Royal Knight Commanders and about a thousand Knights along with him.”
“Please don’t worry too much, Queen Mavis!”
“Even if the Fergus Empire and the Dark Eternal Domain attack at the same time, you don’t have to worry about it.”
After hearing the archbishop’s words, the four nobles were no longer calm. The Holy Court had already sent so many people over to assist the Queen.
They could not lose face either.
As the two most stable and prosperous families in the duchy, the Sledge and Adams families definitely had to show their commitment to the duchy as well.
Thus, William Sledge immediately said, “Since the archbishop is so generous, the Sledge family won’t be so perfunctory as well!”
“We will send 250,000 elite soldiers, 10,000 heavy cavalry and 40,000 light cavalry for Queen Mavis!”
Although he was actually being generous, 300,000 soldiers and 50,000 horses would also require a large number of rations. Of course, the Sledge family could not bear such a burden.
Thus, he decided to hand over all of his troops to Queen Mavis to command.
However, Queen Mavis already knew what he was thinking. She immediately expressed her gratitude, “Thank you so much for the Sledge family’s generosity!”
“Since you have sent out so many soldiers, as the Queen of the Duchy of St. Margaret, can I also borrow some provisions and military supplies from you?”
Hearing these words, William could feel his heart aching. However, since the other party had already spoken, he could not refuse.
On the other side, there were also three elders staring at him.
William was very helpless, so he bargained, “Currently, the Sledge family does not have so much provisions to spare!”
“Half, I can only spare half of the 300,000 soldiers’ supplies and provisions!”
“I have to leave something for myself!”
After hearing his words, although Mavis was not satisfied, it was enough. If she continued to push her luck, she might not even be able to get his hands on any supplies.
After feeling the Queen’s gaze, Jerry volunteered, “Since the Sledge family has already sent so many soldiers, the Jerry family believes that we have to send some as well.”
“I will offer 300,000 troops, 50,000 light and heavy cavalry, 25,000 each, and an additional 50,000 slaves!”
“The Jerry family will naturally be more generous than the Sledge family. I will provide 60% of the military equipment and provisions!”
After saying that, he sat down. This was already the limit, so Queen Mavis and he did not have any more room for negotiation.
“Then I will first thank the Adams family for supporting the Duchy of St. Margaret!”
These two families had already completely mobilized everything they could to help. The only ones left were Rodney and Cozier.
Because the battlefield was right beside Cozier, the Leo family would definitely go all out. However, Cozier Leo was very dissatisfied with the reinforcements sent by the other two families!
‘two old foxes! They each have a town with a population of several million. It’s not enough for them to contribute so little!’
When everyone’s eyes fell onto the head of the Rodney family, Rodney Gregory felt very embarrassed.
The total number of people in his town was less than 500,000. It was impossible for him to have an army of several hundred thousand.
It was incredible for him to have even 100,000 elite soldiers. Therefore, he could only replenish supplies for the other soldiers sent by the other families.
Because the Gregory family was surrounded by plains, and there were seas to their North and South, they had enough supplies to last for decades of war.
“You know the Gregory family. Even if I forced half of my people to serve in the army, I could only gather 200,000 soldiers!”
“That is the reason I’m not sending soldiers over!”
“I’ll take care of all the food and supplies that the army lacks!”
“I’ll also send 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers to the front line as reinforcements!”
“But I’ll never join the war myself!”
After Rodney finished speaking, the people around him didn’t have too many opinions because he had already tried his best!
Since the previous generations of the Gregory family had betrayed him, the development of the entire Gregory family had lagged behind the development of the surrounding areas for many years.
After hearing these people’s words, the happiest person was Cozier Leo. As long as he accepted these soldiers, he would become the most powerful family in the duchy.
While he was secretly happy, Queen Mavis’ words made him feel a bucket of ice water had just been doused on his head.
“Since all the families have done their best, I, Queen Margaret Mavis, naturally can not live peacefully in the capital.”
“This time, I will personally lead an army of about a million to the Leo family!”
“I would like Duke Cozier Leo to make arrangements for this in the city!”
Although he really wanted to refuse, there was no reason for him to say it out loud.
“Yes! I will obey Her Majesty’s orders. I, Cozier Leo, will take the lead!”
Hearing that the Queen was leaving St. Margaret, the happiest person was none other than Archbishop Ulysses Aidan.
Because once the Queen left, other than the three other members of the Senate, he would have the greatest authority in the entire duchy.
At that time, he would be able to do whatever he wanted, and he would no longer need to be afraid of anyone.
Thinking of this, he already had a plan to bring down the three other elders of the Senate..
