In the spring of 1968, the empire’s western army was reorganized and continued to march towards the hinterland of Crancia. Due to the large number of legions, this time it was the imperial prime minister Adlon and the Red Dragon Duke Leodor who each led an army and attacked in two directions.
The Duke of Red Dragon led the army northward, preparing to cross the hills into the former westerly hinterland, while Edron led his troops to continue westward, with the intention of completely annexing the Verga Verga area, and then marching into the Falcon.
In May of the same year, the two armies fought against Crancia's army several times. Although there were a lot of casualties, they still relied on several times the strength of the opponent to win the victory.
At this stage of the war, there were about 2.6 million troops on the empire’s westward march, of which nearly 200,000 were stationed on the occupied land and the coast to prevent opponents from counterattacking and the Hinayue Council’s registration support.
And Edron led an army of 800,000 soldiers to the town of Hopelander and began to besiege, while the Dragon of Ethos led a black and red army of 1.6 million soldiers slowly across the hills of the former westerly southern border.
On the side of Crancia, 200,000 regular troops and 150,000 troops supported by Falcons were left to garrison Hoplander, a seaport city on the key road. In addition, the main force in the country gathered in the interior to confront the Duke of Red Dragon. The number of its coalition forces was about 900,000.
In the strangling battle in the past year, the empire’s casualties were nearly 600,000, while the Star Alliance’s was about 300,000. Although the exchange ratio was good, a new round of conscription within the empire was expected. There will be an army of about 1.5 million gathered south and headed to the front line.
According to the estimation by scholars in Crancia, the Canghong Empire still has enough power to encourage the last wave of support after this conscription support, so that it can be considered as reaching its limit.
Faced with this great situation, the old aristocrats in the Canghong Empire who had waited and waited to see gradually became more and more excited and expressed their willingness to participate in the western expedition of the empire. As a result, among the 1.5 million supporting troops, many elite corps led by great nobles have emerged.
To celebrate, but also to negotiate and distribute the interests of the occupied area, the Emperor arrived in Chixin Province in the south in early July, which is the center of the Baska family's fief, and prepared to hold a grand banquet here. This banquet also invited many new military nobles and veteran nobles, etc., in order to harmonize the relationship between the two parties and make arrangements for future wars.
On July 15, the banquet was held in the Ducal Palace of Baska.
The crimson dragon **** its wings and soars in the sunset, pulling the luxurious rose airship across the sky. Its pale silver metal deck reflects bursts of golden light in the sunset.
The original smooth metal shell is now decorated with bright red and lifelike rosettes, which are scattered all over the corners and planes of the airship, giving it an elegant atmosphere.
The owner of this airship is the youngest daughter of the Crimson Duke today, Evetina Cang Baska. Although she does not have the title of princess, this princess is more like a princess than any princess. She has the prestigious appearance among the southern aristocrats, but she is even more famous for her self-willed and self-willed character.
Although it is not easy to get along with, there are still many nobles who say that this is the style of the Baska family, bold and direct, and countless people are vying to pursue the daughter of the duke.
The airship slowly descended, and a girl in a court dress with layers of flowers walked out of the cabin door and walked towards the Duke’s courtyard with the support of many maids.
In the tall hall of the mansion, a dance party is being held. Teams of aristocratic men and women in luxurious dresses dance among them.
Under the brilliant light, intoxicating liquid rippling in the transparent and exquisite wine glass, with the slight collision of the glass, these wealthy and noble guests talk to each other and laugh cheerfully from time to time. The whole band on the high platform by the side is playing soothing music, adding a pleasant atmosphere to the party.
"Oh, this thing seems good."
A wealthy nobleman looked at the little loud speaker beside him and said in admiration.
"Those southern wizards did this. How, do you want me to give you a few? A few years ago, I recruited a few fleeing wizards to work for me in my manor. In fact, these people are still very Obedient." A blond man with a white silk scarf on his chest turned this little alchemy prop with his fingers.
"By the way, I also asked them to make some ice-producing boxes and alchemy creations that can boil water by themselves. These are very comfortable to use in winter and summer."
"Earl of Islan will really enjoy it, and I was moved by what I said. Unfortunately, my fief is in the north, and I did not grasp the opportunity of the previous years. Let alone these alchemists sitting on these gadgets are still quite useful. Yes." The rich nobleman continued to play with the small speaker at his hand.
"Of course, making money is also good."
"From now on, it seems that I will have to find a few alchemists as servants to decorate the facade like this."
......
"Status? Hahaha, isn't it just a craftsman playing with gadgets? What kind of status is needed? Let them live in the empire is a gift."
"I see that this is no different from those gardeners and house masons. These lower-class people just learned some skills and think they are superior. It's too naive and funny."
"Noble blood, glory, is everything."
When the banquet was a big one, after the atmosphere gradually rose, several pairs of attendants in red went down the internal stairs. Although they looked young, they were all rare elite and extraordinary people, almost all of them above Sequence 5. .
"The emperor's crown is down~"
The sharp and bright voice of the waiter sounded, and then the music in the room stopped, and everyone respectfully separated on both sides.
Before attending the banquet, many people knew that the imperial emperor would appear, but many people were still a little excited at this time.
A young man in a gold and red luxurious dress led a beautifully dressed aristocratic girl slowly down the stairs and into the hall.
This is the current imperial emperor Emmank, as well as Baska’s youngest prostitute Evetina. The two met when they were young and knew each other. Now that the Pascal Patriarch is not in the fiefdom, it is naturally his wife. Mrs. Torrentsa entertains the guests, and the task of accompanying the emperor is entrusted to Evetina. Perhaps it is also the intention of the two parties to bring this pair of ideas together.
If the emperor and the Baska family marry, the politics in the empire will be further stabilized.
After entering the hall, the emperor first briefly said a few words, describing this glorious expedition, the glorious situation, and the glorious result.
"For this, I would like to give special recognition to a general, that is, the leader of the Blood Spear Knights, Dulce." The emperor raised the sleeves of his luxurious military uniform and pointed to an officer not far away from him. This well-dressed man has a firm face. Although he has been commended, his expression remains the same, calm and stable, and he can't help but admire and trust him.
"Congratulations~"
"Congratulations to General Dulce."
A burst of warm applause rang out. Although many nobles still despise Dulsey's humble background, they are also smart people and naturally will not refute the emperor's opinion on the spot. And some long-sighted nobles also understood that this is the hope that the emperor gave to soldiers and officers of civilian origin, so that these expeditionary soldiers could believe and feel at ease.
Since Dulce, a civilian, can step up to the top of the empire by virtue of his military merits, why can't you? Compared to the past, the new emperor is indeed very refreshed in commending meritorious services, and it is also true that there are a large number of legions standing by his side, serving for his orders.
The banquet continued. The emperor first danced a few dances on the dance floor with the prostitutes of the Baska family, and then talked and exchanged with many great aristocrats in the south, drawing in and getting acquainted with them.
At this time, the sky gradually dimmed.
In a secluded garden not far from the dance party, in the midsummer season, various flowers are quietly blooming in the garden, and most of them are roses and roses.
Emak came here at a rapid pace. At this time, he had taken off his sultry and complicated coat and cloak, wearing a simple and breathable shirt, and a number of red guards behind him. Suddenly, he stopped.
"Okay, let's do it here, Ronald. Edron asked you to come over because there is something important to report." He looked back at an officer behind him. It is the body and soul next to his brother Edron.
The officer looked around, saw that there were no people, and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Edron asked me to remind you of something." Then he approached Emank's ear and whispered.
"The Duke of Baska led the main army northward, constantly integrating his army on the way, and once he finally captured a large area of Crancia, then follow-up..."
The Baska family was originally a branch of the royal family. If the last expedition were to come down, with heavy soldiers in hand and vast territory, it would be difficult to guarantee that it would not have any alienation.
After Emank listened, he looked at the orange sunset in the distance and was silent for a while. "I got it."
Seeing that the emperor's back was motionless, Ronald couldn't figure out what the other party thought for a while, and retired and left in line with the creed of doing less and making less mistakes.
"Prepare the royal golden scale red dragon for Ronald, and let him quickly return to the prime minister's side." Before leaving, Emank ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard behind him bowed his head in response, then stepped back and quickly left.
Looking at the remaining ten guards around, Emank continued: "You all get back, I want to walk alone in the garden."
"This..."
Among them, De Rosa, the leader of the guard, who is rare in the empire today, is a little hesitant. The 30-year-old minister cast a wink at Emank and glanced at an apple tree in the garden.
Emak nodded, then waved his hand to let him continue to retreat.
"My minister knows, I will wait for your majesty's call at the exit of the garden." The man pressed the long sword around his waist and led a dozen guards out of the garden.
After everyone had left, Emank took a few deep breaths before walking slowly in the garden full of flowers.
This is a relatively remote place in the Ducal Palace of Baska. It is not the most popular garden in the Ducal Palace. Many of the flowers and varieties are popular in the last century. Now it is naturally not affected by those who follow the trend. Miss loves. But because it is the ducal palace, it hasn't been abandoned, and it has been maintained and taken care of by gardeners.
Picked off a light pink rose, Emak sat on the horizontal bench, looked up at the red clouds in the sky, and leaned on the back of the chair to relax.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor is wise, martial, decisive and strong, but it is undeniable that he is still a young man in his 20s. It's just the halo and glory of that body that made everyone forget this.
As he is in charge of this huge empire, he has to decide and handle countless matters. After a long time, he will inevitably become tired.
The daughter of Baska's family is really touching, but Emank doesn't feel anything special, and it's not even as amazing as the first time she visited the Ducal Palace when she was 9 years old.
That year, he and Edron, the Ansair brothers, and the sisters Tessline...waited for the prince and princesses to come with their parents to celebrate the wedding of the eldest son of the Baska family.
Looking back now, almost 16 years have passed without knowing it.
Time is really ruthless. For a while, he missed the carefree days when he was a child.
The Ansair brothers are actually good people. If they become kings, they will probably become a pair of emperors with a good reputation. But since he has reached this point today, he won't regret it either.
Emak closed his eyes and rested for a while, then stood up and continued to walk slowly toward the depths of the garden.
After that, he stopped under the apple tree and looked at it with interest.
"Aren't you coming down yet?" Emmank looked at the light-colored skirt looming between the branches.
"Wow!" There was a nervous and surprised cry from the girl.
"Who are you? How did you find me? Actually, I just wanted to pick an apple, and then I didn't dare to come down when a large group of you came over." The girl whispered.
"Hehe, in fact, I also think that the prom is a little bored and just walk around. Besides, is the apple delicious? Can you give me one." Emak suddenly didn't want to show his identity.
"This, isn't it sweeter, it feels better than my own." The girl dropped a red apple.
After catching the apple, Emank wiped his sleeve casually, and then gnawed it down, not worried about any accidents in it.
Seeing this aristocratic young man eating the apple she threw down, the girl seemed to be relieved a lot, at least now the two are accomplices.
"How did you climb up, I think the Baska family doesn't seem to like outsiders entering their garden." Emank looked at the girl, who was obviously not like a descendant of the Dragon of Ethinking.
"This, this...this, in fact, I was only curious for a while, because the banquet is very boring. Our family is not a nobleman, and the young ladies are very powerful. I can't speak, so I had to come and take a walk. Up."
"Then I saw an apple tree and went up?" Emank felt a little amused.
"Yes, I'm actually pretty good, I still graduated from Emenas." The girl said slightly.
"Emenas graduated, did you steal apples in the garden?"
"How can it be called stealing, you really can't speak!" The girl retorted slightly annoyed.
"Just come here to pick the apples, and sit in the shade on the tree by the way."
The sunlight between the branches and leaves fell on the girl's caramel-colored hair, and her young face was mottled and moving. The light pink and white dresses set off the slender figure, which made people feel a green and pure Beautiful.
"Oh, did Emenas really graduated? I don't believe it, or should I test you?"
"Ask, hum~" The girl's calf wrapped in white gauze swayed gently among the branches.
"Then I will start. If a 100-pound object is placed on a beam, and the beam is supported by a column on only one side, and it is 20 inches apart from the junction, how much stress will the adjacent column be subjected to?"
"Ah, this, I think about it, it's relatively simple..." The girl turned her head to think, then reported a number.
After hearing the answer~IndoMTL.com~Emak continued to ask a few more questions.
"Hey, why do you always ask questions about mathematics, I'm too tired to count." After listening, the girl pouted a little dissatisfied.
"No, no." Then, she seemed to find something and shook her head again and again.
"Are you saying that I am heavy? Why are my weight, height and other data used for each question." She finally found that the data hidden in the question was wrong.
"Haha, did you just find out now?" After molesting the girl, Emank seemed to feel a special pleasure and relaxation.
"You bad guy." Looking at the laughing noble youth below, the girl jumped down from the tree, ready to step directly on that arrogant face.
It's a pity that Aimanke is so good, he passed it easily without saying anything, and caught the girl who had jumped with both hands.
Feeling the close mind and breath, the girl also became a little flustered and uneasy. What if this young man from a noble background is unfavorable to her?
Looking at the face close at hand, Emmank asked softly: "What's your name?"
"I, my name is Lily Esther."
In the midsummer, the young man's face seemed to blend in with the blue sky behind him, beautiful and reassuring.
