Power and Empire Chapter 631: Angry Blood (3)

631 Anger and Blood (3)

Middle of Salander, Torek Tower,

At nine o'clock in the morning, Torekta Town Hall was full. Inside the closed municipal gate, the northern nobles of Sarande were busy with representatives of Vikia for an important military briefing.

The military briefing is actually more like a meeting to put pressure on Vicia. This can be seen from the disparity in the number of participants in the two sides. In this ordinary city hall,

One side occupied hundreds of seats, wearing gorgeously decorated Saran, and on the other side, there were a few dozen people. At the front end of the seat, there was the Duke of Lehr, who has a huge reputation among southerners. , The Duke of Shaw Kenley, the Duke of Sheffield, the Duke of Koganzheng, Waldorf, and more than 20 prominent northern families headed by the Wien family

. Behind them, there are marquis, big and small, barons, their anxious and somewhat fearful gazes, almost staring at the other end of the hall nervously, although they refuse to admit it, in fact they all know this in their hearts. If the meeting talks about decision-making power, it is all here that adds up, and it can’t be worth the opposite sentence.

This is the difference in strength. As a third party participating in the war, the combat effectiveness and achievements of the Vijaya army are obvious to all. What's more, Hukoqili, who is sitting opposite, is not only a famous brave general among the many famous generals in Vijaya, but the Vijaya army. In, the commander of the Central Corps, who is known for his superb combat effectiveness, is the spokesperson of the Vicia Falcon,

Although the Salander nobles verbally clamored to suppress the Vijaya army, which is only 20,000 people, by virtue of their numbers, there are really not many generals who dare to stand up and speak before the Vijaya army, known as the elite of all wars. , It can be said that without the participation of the Vekia army, the northern army would have been defeated by Kyoto at the beginning, and it is impossible for them to sit here so calmly and start negotiations with the Vekia on the conditions of withdrawal.

"General Hu Keqili, we would like to ask, the outer periphery of Kyoto is in our hands, why is the Viking army still wandering outside Kyoto, there is no sign of attacking Kyoto?"

After some brief introductions of military intelligence, opposite Hu Keqili, a person in charge of the Northern Noble Alliance of Salander stood up first, with a tone of accusation, absent-minded Hu Keqili asked loudly

This gray-haired old duke is the lord of Tavak in the south. His territory is in the Tavak waters in the south. The scenery is beautiful, the lake is interspersed with dense forests, and it is one of the most beautiful areas in the south. One, so the Duke of Sheffield has always been aware of the slow advancing speed of the Northern Army

The person who is also the most enthusiastic about regaining the South. When fleeing in Kyoto, he was arrested because he took the lead in protesting the southern law of Kyoto. This made his reputation among the northern and southern aristocrats the same.

At this time, he was like a drunk rooster, biting his head, staggering up from his seat, seeming to know that what he asked was a bit rude, his face was a little blush, and a pair of bulging faces The eyes are full of red bloodshot eyes,

I’m afraid it’s fake if I say nothing. Although there are only a dozen sturdy knights in black armor sitting on the opposite side, the red cloak that represents glory, the black exquisite scale armor and the long arc of the waist are sitting on the opposite side. Knife, let them just stand there and let the hundreds of Sarand nobles on the opposite side feel a hideous aura against their faces,

They are all true warriors of the Hundred Wars. Facing the clamor of the Salander nobles, they are upright like statues, and their bodies are exuding a faint smell of blood, showing a very iron-blooded style.

In front of the dozen or so Vickie officers, there is a middle-aged Vickie general. Even though hundreds of menacing Salander nobles stand in front of him, he still yawns in disdain.

"General Hukochili, please answer my question. This is the etiquette that a nobleman should have." It seems that he is completely ignored, and the Duke of Tavak has to shout again,

"Question? What is the problem? I'm a General Vijay, not General Salander. You questioned me in such a contemptuous manner, not knowing where to put Lord Falcon or, do you think you Feel free to blame a Vikki runner-up leader"

Hu Keqili looked at him disapprovingly, and his cold and threatening reply made the old duke, who thought he was very powerful, felt a tremor in his heart

It's just a momentary rush. . . . "The old Duke of Tawak was so frightened that he was sweating,

The sentence just now was too anxious, and it was unnatural to use the up-to-down tone that I used to be used to, and when Hu Keqili did this, I remembered that the person on the other side was not a Salander, but across the strait. The general of the Central Legion of the powerful country of Vickia, the kingdom of Vickia dominates the celebrities in front of them, and the 20,000 brave and capable cavalry under his command are stationed in Potalas, which is only ten miles away.

No matter in terms of identity or power, this down-and-out Duke is not comparable to himself. Once he really walked away, the horseshoes of the 20,000 Vekia guards were enough to disperse the northern army. Into pieces,

Thinking of the terrible consequences, the old Duke of Tavak was slurred for a while, and he quickly corrected the words: "For the noble Duke Vijay Falcon, we can't be abrupt..."

"Okay, I won't report this matter to the Lord Duke, but I don't want another time, otherwise, I will defend the glory of the Grand Duke with the war knife in my hand"

Hu Keqili waved his hand at him, glanced fiercely at the other Salander nobles who had the same pale face, secretly disdainful, and did not have the strength to still speak big words here, if not for the Lord's orders , I don’t have time to spend time with you

These guys with greed and arrogance exposed in their eyes are the so-called Salander independents. Most of them come from the ousted southern territories. They lost their territories and fell into the fate of being expelled and suppressed by Kyoto.

But this Visa War gave these guys a chance to reverse. They took advantage of their huge reputation as soldiers in the South, and quickly climbed up to the top of the Northern Noble Alliance in Sarand, and secretly formed Saran. The German Self-Government Association constantly evaded the power of the northern aristocracy. The former Northern faction Grand Duke Nilai and the Ode-German duke of the Ode mountain area were excluded from the new structure because of their opposition to Vikia.

The Salander nobles wanted to fight Kyoto, but the Vijaya army seemed very inactive. Not only began to shrink the front from the front, but also voluntarily let out some marginal areas.

The two sides have a clear attitude like ice and fire, allowing the negotiation to begin in a fierce atmosphere from the very beginning. Just now it was just a test. The Salander noble on the opposite side did not expect that Hukoqili, who has always been known for his bravery, would In the first round, I lost a lot of face. After a moment of unwilling whispers, another Salander noble stood up from the second row of seats.

This is a middle-aged aristocrat with a bluish-white complexion. He is wearing a manicured aristocratic long dress. The collar and sleeves are embroidered with golden lines. A row of delicate bright yellow wind buttons appear noble and steady, slightly raised. The raised chin shows a very good education and a good status,

He first saluted Hu Keqi, and then plausibly said, "Dear Vicky friends, thank you for crossing the sea to help us, but what you are doing now makes it hard for us to believe your sincerity. Your unauthorized withdrawal of troops left us in the blank space, forcing us to recruit more soldiers to fill these loopholes. Can you give an answer to your actions? Otherwise, it is hard to believe that your sincerity is still there.

"Do you mean that we betrayed you when we withdrew from Vikiya?" Hu Keqili's eyes flickered, and he looked at this polite, but in fact, vaguely aggressive middle-aged nobleman with a cold tone." Since you have been urging us to attack Kyoto, I also want to ask, from Morenburg to Kuronze, you have done a little bit of strength, and now you are almost hitting the city wall of Kyoto, do you have to hide behind and pick up the bargain? Right?"

Hukochili's words caused an uproar among the Salander nobles,

"What do you mean? This war was originally an internal dispute between my Salanders. "A Salander nobleman stood up fiercely." No one has ever asked you to come, if it weren't for your Vikings. Put a foot in it, I’m afraid that Sarand is ours a long time ago. Don’t think it’s a lot of benefits. Others don’t know. Your Vekia businessmen are the biggest beneficiaries of this war."

"Yes, yes, everyone knows that the purpose of your reluctance to attack Kyoto is to delay the war and allow your businessmen to obtain more substantial benefits"

"You guys who drink Salander blood are the biggest black hand in this war"

"The guy who makes the country difficult to make money, go back to Vicia"

"Yes, go back to Vicia"

The turbulent Salander nobles chanted slogans, and their excited faces were red, and hundreds of people crowded in front and back.

The clear sound of the scabbard of the sword of "嘡啷" is particularly harsh in the noise

Hu Keqili stood up from his seat with a cold expression, holding a cold Samor sword in his hand, and his icy eyes swept across the Salander crowd in front of him. "Are you going to declare war on my Vekia?"

The dozen or so Salander nobles who were swept by their gazes, all of them backed away with fear, and the noise behind them suddenly cooled down. The tough attitude of the Vikiyas made the Salander nobles feel speculative and troubled. , I really want to start. Although there are few people on the opposite side, they are all warriors who have experienced many battles. They cut off their own nobles who have never been on the battlefield. It’s as simple as cutting vegetables, and the momentum just now melts like snow in the blazing sun,

"When to enter and when to retreat, it is the military affairs of my Vekia. As for the withdrawal or peace talks, it is my Vekia kingdom's matter, so you don’t need to think about it."

Hu Keqili with a cold face on his face, his voice slowly said word by word, "On the contrary, you should think about it, from Morenburg to Kuronze, what are your achievements? If not We Vekia soldiers are charging forward. Your Northern Army was defeated by Kyoto at the very beginning. It is impossible for you to sit here so calmly and clamor to us that you are worthy of the word "Withdrawal"."

As soon as the voice fell, Hu Keqili walked out of his seat, led a group of Vicki runners out of the gate of the city hall, leaving behind more than a hundred Salander nobles who looked face to face

"Arrogant, too arrogant." A middle-aged nobleman with brown hair shook his head indignantly, and shouted to a general Salander next to him, "Marquis Motoris, as a soldier, you just look at it like this Did the other party insult us? What is the merit? If it weren't for our Northern Army, they would have been swallowed up by the Kyoto Army with their Vijaya army."

The general Salander he asked was blushing. Unlike these ignorant southern aristocrats, only the true northerners knew how brilliant their combat effectiveness and achievements were as a third party in the Vijaya army. ,

What's more, the general Hukochili just now was a famous brave and brave general among the many famous generals in Vijaya, and the commander of Vijaya's most combative Central Army. Although the Salanders were proud of their so-called Northern Army, However, in front of the Vijaya army, known as the elite of the war, there are really not many generals who dare to stand up and speak.

"How about? Those Salander nobles are very enthusiastic, aren't they?"

In a courtyard villa, the fat man looked at Hu Keqili who was full of anger, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and gently put a report in his hand on the table, personally picked up a glass of water and gave it to him for the meeting. Hooker Chili

"Anyway, I have given someone an explanation. As far as they don’t listen, they don’t care about me." The fat man patted him on the shoulder comfortingly" and ordered the garrisons everywhere, starting from tonight Plan to withdraw troops and send a letter of order to Lidarcus’s Admiralty. This time the Visa War, that guy made a lot of fortunes. There were only 24 large-scale Salander warships captured. Let him take one of them. 8 ships were refitted, and immediately went to the East China Sea area of ​​Salander to be responsible for transportation affairs"

"Well, your lord is going to withdraw troops from the sea? I didn't say before..."

Fatty's words made Hukoqili stunned for a moment. According to the previous plan, although the Vijaya army in the Salander area had to withdraw, it was also withdrawn to the 4 counties in the central part of the agreement, and did not withdraw from the sea to the north. This has to make Hu Keqili confused

"It’s not us, it’s the 8,000 Northern Army of the Grand Duke Nilai. In order not to attract attention, they will also be mixed with our retreating army. They will board the ship from the port of Torbik in the east, and then go directly along. Follow the coastline to Vic Harbor back to the north"

The fat man turned his back with a solemn face. "As for the Salanders stranded in the middle, they think this is their civil war, so let them continue fighting. We can just take this opportunity to check it out. Check it out that it’s the brave guy hiding behind, "

The fat man picked up the report that was just put down from the table and said, "The news just returned from the Supervision Department. This time there should be a problem within the business alliance. Although it is still not sure who it is, Lida the dog Stoff has sniffed out a clear trace, and I have asked Socutus Delan to return to Zhivadin secretly to assist in the investigation. As long as they have another transaction, we can find him"

May, the season when the grass grows eagles

The atmosphere of the Salander war became weaker and weaker. With the retreat of the Vijaya army, the Northern Army gathered in the middle of Salander suddenly found that they were like a rat blocked by two ends, unable to advance, and Can’t retreat to the north and fall into an extremely awkward situation,

The three attacks launched by the 50,000 Sarand Northern Army against Sarand’s Kyoto, they all returned with heavy losses before they even climbed up the city wall. They lost more than 5,000 people in vain, but only temporarily. Sexually stopped the attack and stationed along the front line in the middle. The forward attack was ineffective and the retreat was unable to make the entire Northern Army seem extremely depressed, and internal contradictions were raging

After staying in Salander for three full months, the fat man finally returned to Vicia in the eyes of Nile reluctantly by taking the flagship of Dustrum Kai,

In the sunny southern plain of Riwading, the breeze carries the fragrance of weeds and night chrysanthemums, the reeds and the newly grown wheat seedlings by the river blow like ripples, light purple cornflowers, bright yellow Russians Grasses are scattered scattered on the thick and soft meadows in early summer, some trees hanging on the water, tooth-shaped leaves swirling under the water like little hands

The small village in the forest is reflected in the river, and the microwave of the waves beats gently on the white stone wall, and you can see the fir and the cross on the cemetery in the distance. . . . . . Then came the steep rocks, rolling hills, purple vines shining attractively in the sun, full-grained grape seeds hanging on wooden poles beside the farmhouse, small pine forests, and castle ruins. , And then the plains, crops, blue birds cruising in the air, and sunlight. . . . . .

A azure river runs through the dense reeds here, the clear water is rippling with the happy business of fish, the vascular tributaries continue to extend to the fluffy wheat fields around, and the trees beside the bank are dense and luxuriant. The torso with well-defined lines is covered with clusters of delicate buds, just like a long scroll in the hands of a painter,

The brilliance of the snow-covered mountains behind is very soft, the majestic and huge lines cross the horizon from here, and the light-gray path winding down the steep mountain peaks, repeating and sometimes staggering rhythms, It's like the charming whirling dance of the Gardia dancer from the south of Salander

The fat man rode his horse up a section on the top of the high slope, and stopped. Two Samor swords were crossed on his back, protruding diagonally from the back of his shoulders, matching his heavy body shape, sitting on his crotch. The unusually high battle is right away, and there is indeed an invincible, overlord aura that will rule the earth.

Mao Monaqing, dressed in a tight-fitting Tsing-shirt, followed him hurriedly up the hillside and came to his horse. She tied her hair into dozens of braids, hanging freely on her shoulders and scented back, highlighting her beautiful neck, emphasizing her beautiful silhouette, plus her attractive posture, riding alongside the fat man, a hero Beauty, complement each other.

More than twenty Samor's guards who retreated in black armor and dressed in servant costumes scattered around to monitor the movement of the distance.

In the distance, there are the undulating hills of Sambuga. Compared to the day of the Sambuga battle, here is another scene. The green grass is full and the mountains are full of dark green dense forests. The weather It’s great. The golden sunlight shines down from the high altitude, shining the entire hills, and the birds rise and fall in the mountain valleys from time to time. It is really difficult for people to connect the tragic battlefield that happened here.

The fat man’s eyes gleamed, condescendingly scanning the battlefield that had turned his destiny~IndoMTL.com~The sound of thousands of troops and horses smashed in his ears seemed to rang through the night, after several days of running around, Although extremely tired, I don’t know why. As soon as I approach this hilly land, I feel refreshed and seem to have endless energy.

He suddenly looked at Mao Manaqing next to him, just catching her looking away from her eyes, Mao Manaqing was slightly trembling when he saw her, and she unconsciously avoided his eyes. Drop your head,

"What's wrong? Isn't it enough to watch one night last night"

The fat man smiled triumphantly. From Mao Manaqing's beautiful eyes, he saw her fascinated thoughts, as if he had cut her heart away and grasped her sincerity.

"No, it's just a moment of ecstasy." Maomona's green ears were red, and she groaned, "My lord, you are deceiving. Sangbujia, who is obviously looking at the hills, suddenly turned around to look at people. , This is the place where the legend of the adults began. Just standing here, I seem to be able to feel the heroic dominance of the adults who set the South in the first battle."

"The place where the legend began." The fat man was moved by what she said, and the horse whip raised his face." Hearing what you said, I suddenly realized that I have not returned to Japan for more than half a year, and I don’t know. What is it like now". ..
