Power and Empire Chapter 723: War in the South (1)
723 War in the South (1)
At the end of September in the thick autumn colors, warm and sleepy, golden sunlight wafts on the stone platform, blue vines climbing on the wall, it seems to foretell the silence of the changing seasons, and a trace of breeze blows past. The woods by the river do not disturb the sleeping air, and the drowsy purple mist is intertwined into a colorful curtain on the top of the mountains in the distance.
A huge harbour faintly stands in the silver fog, like a pale golden smile, and then there is the vast southern sea of Vicia, a vast expanse, bringing a dangling cursor on the horizon
A young man wearing a black military uniform gently pushed open the door of the meeting room. The steady and powerful footsteps were a little uncoordinated. Some of his body swaying from side to side indicated that one of his feet was a bit mutilated.
But his appearance immediately attracted the attention of people in the meeting room. The voice of kindness and grace in the meeting room stopped immediately, and only the sound of the breeze outside was audible
"All stand up"
Following the loud shouts of the military officer at the door, a dozen generals sitting on both sides of the conference table stood up straight like springs, their scorching gazes at the same time that had just walked in. Young people,
I saw him walking staggeringly, sitting down on the middle bench that represents the most authority, and waving his hands to the straight generals on both sides with a serious face, "Sit down, everyone, this time you will be removed from their respective defense zones. It was mobilized to read a secret order from His Majesty Falcon"
"Secret Order"
The generals who heard these two words raised their eyebrows slightly, and there was a pulsating ** in their hot eyes. This is the headquarters of the Southern Army of the Falcon Dynasty and the famous Southern Governor-General Staturn The Governor’s Mansion of Section,
The exterior walls of green vines, the simple and elegant mansions, since the flourishing business in the south, the local administrators from various regions and the clerical staff who come and go with folders in them are usually walking here.
But this time it’s completely different. Starting from entering the gate of the palace, the patrol with three steps and one guard, five steps and one guard, with cloaks and heavily armed patrols moving back and forth from time to time, even in the hall corridors. Around the corner, there are fully armed soldiers who are responsible for checking the credentials of entering and exiting personnel. These soldiers have serious faces. They are not wearing the armor of the city defense forces that are generally responsible for public security, but the real thorns pattern armor belonging to the main banner group. This is a squadron directly under the headquarters of the Southern Army Corps.
This rare atmosphere of tension makes all the generals who are ordered to report to feel a little nervous,
The Governor of the South, Statunko, is not a warrior who is well-known for his military exploits. Most of his eyes are on his extraordinary domestic abilities. After the Northern Army has achieved a series of brilliant victories,
This Southern Army headquarters, which has been silent for several years, will also have a big action, or it may be called a storm.
"This secret order was issued by His Majesty Falcon in May of this year." It was an understatement. The adjutant next to the adjutant handed the folder on the table. The young man opened the document with his hand and took the one printed on the front page. The leather scroll on the background of the silver thorns badge said in a deep voice, "Top secret, all previous agreements have been invalidated since the news of Sarand Kyoto's change...
The hall was very quiet, with only the voice of the young man reading the secret order. The dozen or so southern army generals in the room looked at each other, a trace of blood appeared on their faces at the same time, and the eyes of the young man in the middle became brighter and brighter.
He is the falcon dynasty. In addition to His Majesty Falcon, under one person, the southern governor of the 10,000 people, Statunko, a man with the title of Vicia's blood, the cold wind of September cannot hide. The strong fighting spirit in the secret order
The young man’s voice stopped at the last moment, and the southern generals who swept across the conference table sharply, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "From the day this order was announced, the Southern Governor Star Tunke is solely responsible for presiding over the Salander war and the affairs of the Southern Fleet,
"The military needs in the south moved south quickly in accordance with their orders and in the established manner, and before Sarand Kyoto had not yet responded, they suppressed them with absolute superiority... If there is resistance... Destroy them"
After reading the order, Statunke handed the secret order to the adjutant and asked him to circulate the secret order to all the generals, and then asked, "You all understand what your Majesty means?"
"Understood." The generals raised their heads and responded excitedly. The neat and high voices shook the conference room.
"Although this southward battle is not the first battle of our army, it is more important than the first battle, so we can only win but not lose"
Statunko nodded with satisfaction, and asked the adjutant to spread out the map of Salander Island on the conference table, pointing to a concave part in the middle of the island like a semi-arc on the map.
"This place is called Bosari Bay, which is the mouth of the Bosari River that flows through Sarand’s Kyoto. In May, when his Majesty withdrew from the Sarand region, he once told me in private, as on the Sarande side. If something changes, you can send troops to attack here immediately,
As long as we can build a stop here, our fleet can go up the river and easily bypass the city of Saletke, the most important barrier of Sarand Kyoto.
If the time is right, it is not impossible that Sarand Kyoto is at your fingertips,
At that time, Sarand was heavily guarded in Kyoto. Although his Majesty had a way to reach Kyoto, he had to pretend that he was forced to stop under the city of Saletke. In addition to absorbing a large number of people, reducing the war on central Sarand In addition to the destruction, it can also eliminate the negative influence of the Northern Territory in the hearts of the Salanders, and create a feeling for the Salander Kyoto people.
I thought that by relying on the tall Saletke city wall, I could withstand the fierce soldiers of the Falcon Dynasty. In this way, they will launch a counterattack without hesitation whenever they have a chance,
It’s just that they wouldn’t expect that the smoother they counterattack, the closer they will be to death. The entire Northern Territory of Sarand is a huge decoy. There are always times when Sarand Kyoto can’t help it, as long as it gathers. With our troops launching an offensive, we can easily use the river to take Kyoto directly,
As long as they are dispatched properly, the fleet along the river can take down the city in one go and cut off the foundation of the Kyoto Army before the Salander Kyoto Army returns. When there is no supplement, we only need to put on a posture of north-south flanking, and the opponent will collapse without fighting."
"Your Majesty is so calculating"
The generals of the Southern Army who heard the plan all took a breath, their faces looked unnatural, and a chilly feeling spread behind them
Although they are generals of the Falcon Dynasty, they are not the Northern Army who has been in charge of fighting all year round. They have not been under the fat man for a long time, so the understanding of this mainland’s first general is only superficial. On the prestige,
They are only now. The original lord had already set up such a terrible killing a few months ago. The so-called cold eyes for months are actually waiting for this moment,
The plan that came out of the Governor's mouth was like waiting quietly for a buried seed to germinate. Then I watched it bloom, and the result was the defeat of the tens of thousands of the Kyoto army, but it was as simple as a fruit grower who climbed a low ladder extending his hand and gently twisting the apple to break its rhizome.
His Majesty Falcon’s unpredictable plan, it is too difficult for the Salanders to die. The generals of the Southern Army have secretly mourned in their hearts for the Salander Kyoto Army, who is not yet in desperation.
At this moment, Statunko stood up from the table, and the other generals also quickly stood up together.
Putting away the map on the table, Statunko, who has always been able to ask, "Do you have any questions? We are very tight, so I won’t leave you to eat with me. In fact, I’m not only difficult There is no fish soup from the lower swallow for you."
"Absolutely no problem"
When the Governor-General mentioned the word fish soup, the generals of the Southern Army, who were not afraid of what it was, all changed their faces and quickly responded loudly,
Who doesn’t the governor, take the lead in drinking fish soup for 2 months in order to raise food, and the generals under his command naturally can only follow suit, but no matter how good they are, they will find it hard to swallow. Now I hear The word fish soup is nauseating,
Who would have thought that the Falcon army, which has always been invincible, would be beaten by the delicious fish soup, and would like to pull its legs away immediately
Looking at the ugly expressions of his subordinates, Statunko waved his hand, "In that case, you will immediately assemble the army and board the ship south soon. If allowed, we may have time to bring Sarand to Kyoto. As a gift to celebrate your Majesty’s wedding"
The generals of the Southern Army sweated their foreheads and fled in a hurry like an amnesty. When only the direct banner generals were left, Statunko shouted to him, "Dinier, you stay. , I have another task for you"
"No, Lord Governor, this is the third time this month." The shouted Southern General turned his head back in pain, almost crying,
"I didn't want you to die, why are you so excited"
Statunko rolled his eyes helplessly, and took a picture of the giant man who was almost 2 meters tall. "As the head of my direct banner, you should be honored to test the medicine for me."
"But my lord, it's such an honor... The giant man looked at the young governor who was flush with his shoulders with pitiful eyes, and said with courage, "I would rather go alone to attack the enemy's army. I never want to face that terrible"
"Really~IndoMTL.com~Is she really terrible?" Statunko asked with a bewildered face, tilting his head.
"Of course, she is definitely the scariest I have ever seen in my life." The giant man raised his hand and said with a sincere expression." I'm sure it is the invincible Majesty Falcon. The creatures who choose to evacuate immediately, can drink her potion and can stand up, must be the legendary dragons"
"Then you have the heart to let your immediate boss face her? Or do you think I am a dragon?"
Statunko’s voice is stern, and his eyes are staring at the giant man. The giant bead of sweat rolls down on the giant man’s forehead, and he can’t speak for a long time. It’s a trap. It’s going to be so good today.
"Cough cough... Your Excellency the Governor, Pharmacist Tal Sidi begs to see you." Outside the door, there was a strange and slightly coughing voice from the messenger.
"Well, tell Tal Sidi, I have gone to watch the moon, and later, the head of the guard Dinier will go to test the medicine in person." Statunko raised his head, staring at the sun above his head with attention. Brilliant sky
