Power and Empire Chapter 1251: Win and rain together (7)

The streets of dìdū are bustling and blurred,

The attendant Lubbock, wearing a black dress, stood hesitantly outside the door of the Minister of Military Affairs, pacing back and forth at the door anxiously, holding a copy of the information that had just been sent urgently from the principality in his hand. , The decisive battle in the Antoros waters ended in the defeat of the Merendi Fleet.

Rubbock can imagine what kind of expression it will look like when this report is submitted to his lord. As one of the centers of the empire’s outer sea, the Antoros Sea area can reach the Slavs in the north. Kingdom, you can reach Mural in the middle of the kingdom from the south. If you continue to the west, the Duchy of Normandy, located in the protruding part of the peninsula, will bear the brunt. With the loss of the Antoros Sea, the enemy’s captain will drive straight in, and they may appear in Normandy.

This report specially ordered by his father, Prime Minister of the Principality, Bokoff, also mentioned one thing. One of the eyes of the Principality in the open sea was lost. Viscount Miklar, who was supposed to report every five days, has already There was no news for 6 days, and Bokoff felt instinctively that this was a very dangerous signal, and the principality needed its lord to return immediately.

"Please report it again. I have a very urgent matter and I must go in immediately!" God Lubbock was anxious and said to the captain of the guard standing guard at the door again

"Please let me understand. This is the residence of Master Horkels. Is it possible for all kinds of people to enter?" The captain of the guard at the door looked at this little attendant from a remote area with an air Very impatiently yelled and cursed, "If you continue to struggle here, I will immediately notify the City Ministry of Defense to arrest you and throw you into the Bastou Prison, where you can never see the light, and make you smelly and moldy inside." /

"Yes...I am the attendant of the Duke of Normandy! If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?" The young and energetic Lubbock's face flushed sternly, in his eyes, the Duke of Normandy The name was enough to make the guards standing guard at the door tremble. The captain of the guard rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction and looked up and down at the young Lubbock.

With his words. The six guards standing next to him also made a roar of laughter, and one of the guards laughed and said, so what? This is the imperial Kyoto, not a small place like Normandy. Do you really think how big the Duke of Normandy is? "

These guards of Imperial Kyoto wear breastplates forged from a single piece of steel, and wear round and oval helmets on their heads. Holding a long-handled axe gun. The sharp face of the axe gleamed with a solemn luster in the dark,

"To tell you the truth, we have seen too many people like you. Especially this year is an extremely important year for many princes in many places, in order to seek the honor of Lord Horkels, one of the three ministers of the empire. It is recommended that many local princes have almost crushed the roads here into pieces in these short two months, and among such people. There are also some very powerful regional powers."

Then the guards looked at Lubbock with a trace of disdain, and they stood up and said, "For example, Duke Hassapie, known as the sword of the north of the empire, Duke Turmans, the largest lord of the eastern part of the empire, Duke Jimny, who expanded the territory of the empire in the south..., compared with those who have served as regional consuls for more than ten years and have a profound background, Normandy’s hope stands out in the new region. The new princes of princes are really not enough to see "

"You guys... It's so rude!" Lubbock hurried around at the door, but there was nothing to do! He could only scratch his own hair in pain, and his pale face was full of grief and anger.

Emotion, this is a new melon egg who knows nothing! The captain of the guard looked at the young adjutant walking back and forth, sneered at the corners of his mouth, and stopped speaking. He remembered that a man who claimed to be the prime minister of the Principality of Normandy also came last year.

That's what they call generous. One shot is 500 empire gold coins. That's his salary for 5 years. It's a pity that this young attendant was under his own hints several times. There would be no response, if Bokov, the seasoned prime minister of the Principality, came this time. The attitude of the captain of the guard may be another situation,

Because the middle-class princes like the Duke of Normandy, if the other party is interested, there is no room for accommodation. It is a pity that the young Lubbock obviously does not know this way,

And this is not the original intention of the prime minister Bokov to send him to dìdū. Only by seeing the breadth of the ocean can you not miss the ease of the ditch. Young people’s ambitions are often motivated by embarrassment.

In the direction of the mansion hall, the elegant and long-tuned harp sound is faintly heard, and occasionally there is also the shrill voice of banquet guests talking, laughing and teasing. The whole banquet is undoubtedly happy. When the sky gradually brightens, the night is God was driven by daylight, and the attendant who had been waiting for the night at the door, saw the door of the mansion open, "Wow" the ground trembled slightly from the oppression of the cart, and I didn’t know where so many carriages came from,

Almost in an instant, the expensive carriages that quickly rushed out of the mansion on the originally empty Guangping were full, with the door handles wrapped in gold, the sides of the carriages inlaid with silver, and the precious Oriental oak. The crossbars of the doors and pullers, the incomparably complex family crests inlaid on the doors, even made the first-time attendant Lubbock a dazzling feeling,

Although Lubbock did not know the meaning of these emblems, he knew that any one of them was enough to make Normandy, who had only two axe coats of arms, feel that from the complicated patterns and patterns with various meanings. Ashamed,

By the gleam of the street lights on the roadside of the mansion, Lubbock could see aristocratic ladies in costumes, fair-skinned and delicate maids, wearing smooth skin like golden sè, unknown nobles The cloth nobles stepped onto their respective carriages like a torrent, and the wheels flew out from the gate of the mansion, throwing the dust on the young attendant with a sullen face,

Here is the heart of the empire. Although Lubbock, as a subject of the empire, is only a general impression of how big the empire is.

North to the prairie, south to the Alberto Mountains bordering Central Europe and Baro, west to the sea, east to the continental center Seattle, the entire empire center territory, including nearly a hundred local princes, and in the interior of the empire, Four medium-sized kingdoms with royal family members as kings constitute barriers in the four directions of the empire, southeast, northwest, and the outer vassal states are set up as twelve regions, and Normandy is located in one region to the northwest.

Among these people, finally came out from the residence of the Imperial Minister Horkolls,

It was his lord, Grand Duke Kavibod. I don’t know why, but the attendant felt that his lord’s whole body was in a kind of haze. He used to stand tall and vigorous. The moment he stepped into the carriage, it seemed to change suddenly. It has to be heavy,

"Why are you here?"

The carriage of Archduke Cavybod stopped at the door and looked at Lubbock at the door in surprise,

He brought a total of 6 attendants this time, most of them were family disciples recommended by the principal ministers, and this young man named Lubbock was specially recommended by his confidant Prime Minister Bokoff. Because of the six people, the only identity is the servant officer of the common people, so Cavy Bod was very impressed with this young man. Lubbock's appearance is similar to that of Bokov when he was young, and the meaning is not the same. It goes without saying,

If you are not close relatives, you must be father and son! For the private life of his subordinates, Duke Kavibod didn't have much interest in exploring. Whoever has no love, even Kavibod himself has two illegitimate children. It is enough to know this well, and Bokov has only one daughter. There is no heir, so letting this illegitimate child of civilian status stay here as a servant officer is not a sign of loyalty,

"An urgent letter from the Principality!" Lubbock quickly sorted out his messy clothes, and took out the report that he had pinched, wrinkled and wet with sweat

"Mikraal..."

Kaviba’s face was ugly, his dignified gaze fixed on the name mentioned at the end of the report, his pale face became paler and paler, and he was silent for a while before he took a deep breath. With a sigh of relief, he suddenly ordered Lubbock, "Let everyone prepare, we will return to the principality immediately!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A fleet of four sailing warships composed of a starry sky, covered with forested rivers and slowly moving on top of the river,

The fat man stood on the bow of the ship, looking up at the white snow falling above his head, his face was cold, and in the vast sky in the distance, white snow as large as a fist floated down,

In a short while, the whole world became pure white, and the ground along both sides of the river was covered with soft white snow. The coming of winter snow indicates that the time of the Winter Veil Festival in Salander is getting closer, which also makes the fat man a little worried,

"It's finally snowing!"

The fat man sighed inwardly. Although it was Nilai’s tipping message this time that Lipi escaped the interrogation of the Sky High Priest Palschenna, but at Salander’s most solemn Winter Veil Festival, I'm afraid I can't avoid it. I heard that High Priest Palschenna left Yue'an with a bit of unwillingness and ignorance~IndoMTL.com~ But in the face of the interests of the kingdom, personal feelings can only be put aside.

In any case, the choice of the high priest must be cautious. The fat man didn't know how he would face those beautiful eyes with resentment when the time came. He had some urges to shout at the surrounding empty mountains and wilderness. Only then could he vent it. Out of the gloom in my heart,

The river in front gradually became smaller, and the last of the warship docked at a crenel on the edge of the Black Forest. The hundred guards who accompanied set up tents on the spot, and only the falling snow could be heard in the dark sky. The sound of falling,

Fatty finally couldn't stand it after being in the tent for the last time. He walked out of the tent. Only the guards on duty were awake.

The fat man greeted them and walked slowly on the snow under the moonlight, thinking about the choice of the high priest of Salander,

"pop" the sound of a branch being broken by a heavy object, although it is tens of meters away, in this quiet snowy night, how could it be hidden from the sharp ears of the fat man,

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in the fat man's heart, and he hurriedly hid behind a tree before looking out. The sound of boots stepping on the snow rang intensively, and a cold killing intent came with the wind
