Power and Empire Chapter 1673: Gaul Kyoto (3)
Gaul Empire Kyoto
The warm ceiling chandelier in a spacious golden hall emits a soft yellow light. The wall lamps on the wall reflect the magnificence of the whole hall. The nobles in black dress dresses with gold silk and silver rims are paired with each other. Partner,
in the corner of the hall, the crowd dances gracefully in the beautiful music of the band, the soft and soothing harp and bagpipes are mixed with the small grand piano sound,
The soft yellow flames shined all the nobles on the side of the banquet hall. Some nobles with wine glasses were able to make money, and they talked casually about some interesting facts about the war in the southern part of the empire. Most of these nobles’ clothes were styled With serious military uniform characteristics
‘Everyone, please be quiet, please leave me a little bit of time for Pestalin’
A man in a white dress walked up to the band in front of the band and clapped his hands under the eyes of everyone.
xian’s right chest is hung with the golden sword and shield of the Imperial Guard, standing upright and upright, and the music in the banquet hall sounded with the voice of the man. The nobles who danced slowly are also all Stopped and smiled and looked at him,
‘Pestalin, you come out to disrupt the situation every time I get to a critical moment! "An unhappy male voice in the crowd came out" Don’t forget to make up for me when it’s going to go away! ‘
'It's easy to say that the meeting will be over, and a few can still join my private party. Of course, it would be even better if there were a few noble and beautiful ladies to join. "Pestalin blinked narrowly,
"You guy", there was an ambiguous chuckle in the crowd,
Pestalin took out a statement from his arms and smiled on his face, "Everyone should have heard the news. The empire has made significant progress in countering the rebellion in the northwest region. The empire’s famous general Hasen Rambo severely damaged the rebels in the northwest in one fell swoop. , The Vikia Falcon that fought has lost its soldiers and soldiers. There are countless deaths and injuries. It is a pity that an envoy for peace has been sent to Gaul Kyoto." Pesdalin's voice stopped, shrugging his shoulders, and spreading his arms. Helplessly say
" Originally, I wanted to go to the northwest to meet the Vickia Falcon, who was called the **** of war by the northwest barbarians. I would place the Jarvan sword in my hand on the trembling shoulders of the barbarian king and tell him what It is the invincible Gallic lion! But now it seems that this wish may not be realized!"
"Haha!" There was a chuckle among the nobles
‘Pestalin, just talk nonsense. If you really see that barbarian king, it’s probably you who will be scared to pee on the spot! ‘Someone laughed and said loudly
"How is that possible, I'm an officer of the Gaul Praetorian Guards, and what kind of savage king is to pee pants!" Pesdalin waved his hand, with a reserved smile on his face. "Okay, now Let's talk about business!"
"Business affairs, what else can you do with Pestalin?" Questions sounded from below, everyone's eyes were looking at him
"This...but for sure, after all, I am also an imperial soldier!"
Pestalin's face was embarrassed, and his forehead was slightly sweaty. He had to hold up the sealed letter in his hand and said loudly, "A month ago, the 5th and 7th Infantry Regiments of the Imperial Guard left Kyoto and marched northwest. My brother, Peisbigail, commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guard, was fortunate to participate in this campaign. This is the letter from my brother. I ran here before I opened it. I just hope everyone can join me. The glory of watching the content of the letter should be felt by everyone together"
"Great, is Master Pacebigail going to triumph? Then the others will come back too." The nobles below began to commotion and sent out to fight against the Northwest Guards. Are people in their circle,
"The Northwest has surrendered, it should be soon!"
Pestalin looked proud, his voice stopped, and he raised his head and said loudly, "Do you want to know the truth about the war in the Northwest? I want to know how the imperial sword punishes the arrogant and greedy Northwest Human?"
'I am happy', the eyes of the young nobles in Kyoto were bright, and they raised their wine glasses in a hurry,'for the empire! ‘
‘For the Empire! For glory! ‘Everyone shouted loudly and took a sip in their mouths. The rich aroma of wine immediately filled the whole hall. The waiter girl hurried forward to buy drinks for the nobles in need.
"Everyone, follow me!"
Pestalin headed to the spacious balcony on the right side of the hall, and behind him were other noble officers and little sisters, the crowd chatting and laughing and gathered to the extremely wide marble balcony. The balcony was built on the third floor of the hanging space, outside the window The moon is bright and beautiful, and the marble material is wrapped around a layer of dark green vine branches. Bigui is full of vigorous greenery. Pestalin tidied his collar, and all the nobles on the balcony were waiting for him to read it out loud
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, his fingers gently opened the letter in his hand, and the familiar red handwriting of his brother Pesbigail brought him into the eye. "The war in the southwest is not good, the enemy is trapped in the city for January, and the rations are exhausted. My colleagues starved to death and wounded countless people, the reinforcements were delayed, and they could only sustain by eating the corpses. I felt in my heart, I don’t know when, I will also disappear and become food for others...
.
‘This is! "Pestalin trembled while holding the letter, feeling like he was holding a red soldering iron, and his smiling expression instantly solidified a faint smell of blood. As the night wind drifted, he ate the corpse and became someone else's belly. Chinese food...Pestalin can't see it anymore
" Pestalin, what's wrong with you?" The young nobles below saw Pestalin holding the letter in his hand, his eyes were dull, his face turned pale, and he felt that the atmosphere was not right
A young aristocrat who had a good relationship with Peslinda in the past hurriedly stepped forward and supported Peslinda, who was in a very poor state, with one hand, his eyes inadvertently scanned the letter in Peslinda’s hand, suddenly stupid, I saw the whole letter. The letter was written in blood, and one corner was still stained with red, dried blood. It was the tradition of the Gaul warriors to write the suicide note, using blood to write the suicide note! There is no doubt that this letter is not a reward, but a suicide note written by Paisbigail, commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guard!
"Did the war in the Southwest failed?" A sound of kindness suddenly sounded below.
"Oh my god, it's a blood book!" a sharp-eyed nobleman looked at the blood-stained corner of Pesdalin's hand and shouted in horror

口.
"Master Hu Keqili, what do you want to do when you act like this?"
Feitanli, as the liaison officer, pushed open the door of Hukochili’s room in a desperate manner. This is a manor on the outskirts of Kyoto, Gaul. The bright sun shines through the window, and outside the window is a tranquil scene of an autumn manor.
Seeing the incoming Gaul liaison officer Feitanli, Hu Keqili turned around from the window and said angrily.
"What does Master Fetanley mean? Since arriving at Kyoto in Gaul three days ago, you have placed me here on the grounds that Kyoto is holding a festival and will not deal with foreign affairs temporarily. I still want to ask Q, the Gaul Military Ministry is so neglecting this negotiation, whether it wants to sign an armistice agreement or not?
"If you don’t want to sign, I’ll go right away! The two armies pull out the battle and fight again, and make it clear that we are not the ones who have been defeated this time! If it weren’t for the concern that this war has caused millions of civilians Displaced, my majesty felt compassionate and did not want more civilians to be involved. He had already ordered a full-scale attack on Rusty's right wing. When the army was pouring, Rusty's right wing was nothing but a man's arm to block the car! "
"This!" Hearing that Hu Keqili was about to go back, Feitanli's momentum was like a frustrated ball, and he said with embarrassment, "The Ministry of Military Affairs has worked very hard to report this to the Emperor. ,
But it is indeed during the celebrations. Your Majesty can’t come forward in an open manner. Moreover, for such an important foreign matter, it is necessary for your Majesty to convene an imperial meeting to decide. The time of the imperial meeting will be the day after tomorrow, and there will be a reply soon! Even if it is delayed, your Excellency does not need to send out the suicide note of the Guards who died in the Battle of the Southwest indiscriminately! This can easily cause a shock throughout Kyoto! "
"Issuing suicide note is just to keep the tacit promise between the soldiers"
Hu Keqili smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Your country’s Praetorians, without any foreign aid or food, guarded the southwest capital for a full month, and the last one never surrendered." Of course, Hu Keqi Li would not say that it was not that no one surrendered, but that His Majesty Falcon had a strict order to keep no prisoners for the Gaul Guards that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in the southwestern capital. There is only one policy, kill, not keep!
Fatty needs the blood of tens of thousands of Imperial Guards to give an explanation to the suffering Southwesterners,
But on the face of it, I still have to say that the Gaul Guards are really tenacious troops, and the deadly battle is not reduced to the last person. A week before the city broke, I felt that the Northwest General Steinlyn Spencer was hopeless in victory. I have chosen to adjudicate myself,
As for Algernon Julia, the key figure was forgotten by the fat man deliberately letting the water out. There is no way, the fat man also counted on this woman to return to Gaul Kyoto, because this woman was followed by an insider named Angelio.
This is an important insider that the fat man has spent so much training on. As long as he can stay with this woman, news from the high level of Gaul will continue to come back, and even at critical moments, it will be the final word to reverse the situation
This time the battle of the Southwest Capital, Angelio followed the fat man’s instructions, and at the last moment before the army broke the city, he gave Algernon Julia a solution. "Since the Falcons are besieging the high with a Kyoto accent. The Guards of Lu did not say anything to Sister Algernon Julia. This shows that the Falcons did not know the existence of Sister Algernon Julia. Sister Julia only had to disguise herself as a civilian in the city. You can leave the southwest capital in a grandiose way!"
Angelio said solemnly, "I am willing to follow Sister Xiaoren as a cover. A pure Northwester can deal with the questioning, I believe the Falcon Army will not doubt it!"
"Well, it can only be so! "In this way, Algernon Julia, dressed in tattered linen, bowed her head, covered the black gray on the wall with her pretty face, and walked in the almost ruined southwestern capital. , Beside her, there are only a few close-in waitresses dressed in the same dress, and Angelio, who pretends to be a senior, behind them is the whole team passing through, and has controlled three-quarters of the Falcon Army in the city area
A huge ball of fire with a thick black tail was dragged across the sky, hitting the street where the Guards defended, rumbling, stones mixed with red fireworks scattered, and Gaul holding an iron shield The guards cannot be spared before such a violent splash,
Several ignited fire men screamed fiercely, and billowing black smoke rose in the southwest corner of the city. The remaining thousands of Imperial Guards were curling up and desperately in the last quarter of the area. Resistance,
In this battle, they have no retreat except for death. Since the Falcons took the initiative to attack Rusty and broke the strategic deployment of the Gaul inside and outside, it has been a hopeless dead end. ,
" Stop, who are you? "A group of passing Falcons stopped Angelio, no one will pay attention to the few women next to him,
" My lord, I am a businessman from Ruosende! "Angelio looked humble and quickly bent down to bow to a businessman.
"Sender's merchant?" The Falcon Infantry Captain was taken aback, because he was a pure Sendre accent, and he was very familiar with the customs of Sendre, Angelio didn't take much effort and was very natural. Passed the cross-examination of the Falcon infantry captain,
"Who are these women?"
The Falcon Infantry Captain waved his hand to Angelio, glanced at the women behind Angelio, a little stupefied, although he was dressed in sackcloth and smeared with black ash on his face, his graceful figure was still There is nothing to hide, especially the body-building section of the female guards of the Wang family who exercises all the year round.
" is my daughter and her maids! "Angelio's face looked a little unnatural. He was afraid that if the Falcon Infantry Captain came to ask in person, he would immediately reveal his stuff, and said quickly! Recently, too many people have died, and there are corpses everywhere. They are all terrified, so they dare not even say anything! "
" Are you scared to speak? Is that true? "The Falcon Infantry Captain glanced over, his eyebrows frowned slightly, he walked slowly over, and circled Algernon Julia. His eyes are full of sharp light,
"It's terrible!"
Angelio stood still and did not dare to move. He was secretly crying. He knew where the loophole was. His face and clothes could be put on makeup, but the arrogance that came out of his bones was too obvious in Julia.
"Your name!" The infantry captain stopped and looked at Algernon Julia with her head down. He suddenly asked harshly with a cold face, and the air suddenly became heavier.
"Damn it!" Algernon Julia lowered her head, her pink fists clenched, and she cursed inwardly. I didn't expect that an ordinary infantry captain of the Falcon Army would have such meticulous thoughts at this moment. Don't dare to speak, you just speak Kyoto accent!
" Answer me, otherwise, I will order you to be arrested! The infantry captain raised his hand, and dozens of Falcons behind him quickly surrounded a few people. The sharp spear changed Angelio’s face.
" Linda, what are you rubbing here! Lord Lazarati in front, but looking for you everywhere! "A young man in the uniform of a Falcon squadron came over and questioned the infantry captain. Shouted
" is Lord Azoron of the Guards! "Seeing this young man, the Falcon infantry captain quickly turned around and gave a military salute with a smile on his face
"Okay, don't dawdle" Do you suspect that these women are the Gaul Guards? "The Falcon Guard officer named Azoron said half-jokingly
" How is that possible? Everyone knows that the Gaul Guards are men! It’s just a bit strange to me. I immediately went to the front." The Falcon Infantry Captain responded repeatedly and waved his hand to the surrounding soldiers in confusion , The soldiers around quickly withdrew, following him and moving forward,
When is " and I take women around, I’m really not afraid of death!"
Watching the Falcon Infantry Captain leave, Azoron waved his hand to Angelio who was still dazed impatiently. "It's a bit messy now, if it's not for the sake of my wife who is also a Sender. , I don’t bother to care about you! Be careful!"
"Yes, thank you!" Angelio looked jī, but he was already scared into a cold sweat, and took Algernon Julia and some of the maidservants of the royal family to leave quickly
"Finally completed! Your Majesty’s mission..." Half of the wall in the southwestern capital collapsed, looking at Angelio and his party going away. "Atholon leaned on the side. On the pillar scorched black by the fire, took out a sweet leaf from the lining of the armor and threw it into his mouth to chew. He has been following since just now. The task is to protect Enrio and his party from the southwest capital safely. /
The core of this mission is that Angelio must go to Gaul Kyoto. This is why the Fatty asked Angelio to make suggestions. Algernon Julia, the femme fatale, is extremely meticulous, as long as she wants to escape from the southwestern capital besieged by the army. , You must bring Angelio, the real Northwestern man, to deal with the investigation, and Angelio can also become Algernon Julia’s most trusted person with this incident. As long as he returns to Kyoto, he will definitely be able to come into contact with Gaul. The core of the high-level,
"Even though we are enemies, we are filled with awe to clean up their bones. "In the room~IndoMTL.com~Hu Keqili pretended to be cautious and said." Those who found a suicide note were all carefully packed , I just hope that these imperial guards can finally return to their hometown with a trace of soul, so that their relatives can rely on it. If Mr. Fetanli thinks such a move is wrong, then I can only say that these soldiers are too worthless to die. Now, even my own country is unwilling to admit their struggle!"
"Of course not!" Fetanli's mouth was bitter, and his face was a little dark. He lowered his head and did not dare to face Hu Keqili's gaze. Of course he couldn't say that 10,000 Imperial Guards died in the southwest, this The news has always been blocked by the empire. These imperial guards are all from the aristocratic class of Gaul Kyoto. The personal pain to the nobles of Kyoto is far more intense than the hundreds of thousands of ordinary troops killed in battle in other regions. /
Especially this time, a large number of suicide notes from the Imperial Guard appeared. The entire Gaul Kyoto has been messed up. The nobles have blocked the gates of the Gaul Military Ministry and questioned the specific situation of the Southwest War.
The Gaul Military Department is already in a state of desperation. The aggressive offensive in the northwest has caused the Gaul military to dispatch even regional reserves some time ago.
The battle damage of more than 300,000 troops has made it impossible for the Gaul Military Affairs Department to deal with it. This is now happening. According to the news from the inner court, in view of the serious situation, the imperial meeting of the emperor will be held in advance to tomorrow. ,
Above Gaul Kyoto, a storm is gathering (to be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@范儿青青年] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your Support is my biggest motivation. )
