Power and Empire Chapter 1673: Gaul Kyoto (3)
Gaul Empire Kyoto
In a spacious golden hall. The warm ceiling chandelier exudes the soft yellow wall lamp, which matched the whole hall to reflect the magnificent. The nobles in gold silk and silver black dresses paired with each other. Knot
In the beautiful music of the band in the corner of the hall. The crowd danced gracefully. The soft and soothing harp and bagpipe sound mixed with the small grand piano sound.
The soft yellow flames shined brightly on all the nobles. In the banquet hall, some nobles with wine glasses wanted to talk casually about some interesting things about the war in the southern part of the empire. Most of these nobles wear styles of clothes. Wearing a serious military uniform feature.
‘Everyone, please be quiet, please leave me Pestalin a little bit of time’
A man in a white sè dress walked up to the performance in front of the band and clapped his hands under the eyes of everyone.
On his right chest hangs the imperial guard's golden sword and shield, the staggered standing pen, and the upright pen sounded with the voice of the man. The music in the banquet hall slowly released the dancing nobles. Stop. Smile and look at him.
‘Pesta every time I get to a critical moment, you come out to spoil the situation! ‘An unhappy male voice from the crowd came out.’ Don’t forget to make up for me when it’s over! ‘
‘It’s good to say that I’ll leave a few people and join in my private gathering. 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 letter 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 famous empire Hasen Rambo severely damaged the rebels in the northwest in one fell swoop. , The Viking Falcon that fought has lost all of its soldiers and soldiers. There have been countless casualties. Now an envoy for peace has been sent to Gaul Kyoto. It's a shame.” Pesdalin stopped and shrugged his shoulders. Spread his arms. Helplessly say
"Originally, I wanted to go to the Northwest to meet this Vickia Falcon, who was called the **** of war by the Northwest Barbarians. I would put the Garvin 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
‘Pesta, just talk nonsense. If you really see the one who would be scared to pee on the spot, it’s you! ‘Someone laughed and said loudly
"How is that possible, I'm an officer of the Gaul Guards, and what kind of savage king is the one who wants to be scared to pee!" Pestalin waved his hand with a reserved smile on his face. "Okay. Now. Let's talk about business!"
"In business, what business will you do with Pesdalin?" There was a question from below, and everyone's eyes were looking at him.
"This...but for sure, after all, I am also an emperor!"
Pestalin’s face was embarrassed, and the forehead that was seen was sweating slightly, and he had to hold up the sealed letter in his hand and said loudly, “Two months ago, the 5th and 7th Infantry Regiments of the Imperial Guard left Kyoto and marched into the northwest. , My brother. The commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guard, Peisbigail, had the honor to participate in this crusade. This is the letter from my brother. I ran here before opening it. I hope everyone can watch the glory of the letter with me. . It should be everyone who feels together.’
"Great, is Master Pesbigail going to triumph? Then the other people will come back too, right" the nobles below began to move, and many of the guards sent to attack the northwest were all 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 real situation of the war in the Northwest? I want to know how the empire's sword punished those arrogant and greedy Northwesters Right?"
'Happiness.' The eyes of the young Kyoto nobles are bright. They raised their glasses with excitement, ‘for the empire! ‘
‘For the Empire! For glory! ‘Everyone shouted loudly and took a sip of wine. The rich aroma of wine immediately filled the hall. The waiters and maids hurried forward to buy drinks for the nobles in need
"Everyone, follow me!"
Pestalin headed towards the spacious Yang on the right side of the hall, followed by other noble officers and ladies. The crowd chatted and laughed and gathered on the extremely wide marble balcony. The balcony was built on the third floor of the suspended space, and the moonlight outside the window Bright and beautiful. The marble material is wrapped around a layer of dark green vines. The luxurious greenery 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, he gently opened the letter in his hand with his fingers, and his brother Pace Bigeel's familiar red sè handwriting was brought into the eye. "The war in the southwest was not good, the enemy was trapped in the city for January, and the rations were 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's hand holding the letter trembled, and it felt like he was holding a red soldering iron, and his smiling expression instantly solidified. A faint smell of blood floated in the night wind, eating the corpse and becoming someone else. The food in the abdomen...Pestalin can no longer look at it
"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 nobleman who had a good relationship with Peslinda hurriedly stepped forward and supported Peslinda who was in a very poor state with one hand. He glanced at the letter in Peslinda's hand inadvertently, and was immediately silly. The letter was written in blood, and the corner was still stained with red and dried blood. It was the tradition of the Gaul warriors to write the suicide note with blood. 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 the letter in Pestalin's hand and shouted in horror
. . . . . . . .
"Master Hu Keqili, what do you want to do when you act like this?"
The liaison officer Feitanli angrily pushed open the door of Hukochili’s room. This is a manor on the outskirts of Kyoto, Gaul. The bright sun shines through the window, and outside the window is the tranquility of an autumn manor. Sight
Seeing the incoming Gaul liaison officer Feitanli. Hu Keqili turned around from the window, God said angrily
"What does Master Feitani mean? Since arriving in Gaul Kyoto 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 will start the battle. Let’s fight again, and make sure that we are not the ones who have been defeated this time! If it weren’t for the concern that this war has already caused millions of civilians Displaced, my majesty feels compassionate and does not want more civilians to be involved. He has long ordered a full-scale attack on Rusty's right wing. When the army is pouring, Rusty's right wing is just a manipulative blocker!"
"This!" Feitanli's momentum heard Hu Keqili going back. Suddenly it was like a discouraged ball, and he said with embarrassment, "The Ministry of Military Affairs has worked very hard to report this to the Emperor.
But now it is indeed during the celebration, it is impossible for Your Majesty to come forward in an open manner. Moreover, such an important foreign matter can only be decided by your Majesty's convening an imperial meeting. The imperial meeting will be held the day after tomorrow, and there will be a reply soon! Even if there is a delay. Your Excellency does not need to send out the suicide note of the Imperial Guard who died in the Battle of the Southwest everywhere! This can easily cause a shock throughout Kyoto! "
"The issuance of suicide note is just to keep the tacit promise between the fighters"
Hu Keqili smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Your country’s imperial guards have been guarding the southwest capital for a full month without any foreign aid or food. The last person in the battle did not surrender." 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 a tenacious force. The deadly battle will not be reduced to the last person. A week before the city broke, I felt the hopeless Northwest General Steinly Spencer. I have chosen to adjudicate myself,
As for Algernon Julia, the core person was forgotten by the fat man deliberately releasing the water. There is no other 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 his great efforts to cultivate. As long as he can follow 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
In this 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 Gao with a Kyoto accent. The Guards of Lu did not say anything to Ms. Algernon Julia, which means that the Falcons did not know about the existence of Ms. Algernon Julia. Ms. Julia only needs to disguise herself as a civilian in the city, and she can leave the Southwestern capital grandiosely. !"
Angelio said solemnly, "I am willing to follow the young lady as a cover. A pure Northwester responds to cross-examination, I believe the Falcon Army will not doubt it!"
"Well, that's all!" In this way, Algernon Julia, dressed in tattered sackcloth, lowered her head, covered the black gray on the wall with her pretty face, and the gods walked sparsely in the southwest of the ruins. In the capital, there are only a few close waitresses in the same dress beside her, and Angelio, who pretends to be older generations, behind them is the whole team passing through, and has controlled three-quarters of the Falcon Army in the city area. /
The huge ball of fire with the black tail in the sky crossed the sky and hit the street guarded by the guards. It rumbling, the stones mixed with red fireworks scattered, and the Gaul guard holding an iron shield The army, even before such a violent splash, will not be spared,
Several ignited fire men screamed fiercely, billowing black smoke rose in the southwest corner of the city, and the remaining thousands of Imperial Guards were curling up and desperately dying in the last quarter of the area. Resistance,
In this battle, they had 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 would pay attention to the few women next to him,
"My lord, I am a businessman from Ruosend!" Angelio God sè humblely bent down and bowed to a businessman's salute.
"The Merchant of Ruosende?" The Falcon Infantry Captain was stunned, because it was a pure Ruosende accent, and because he was very familiar with the customs of Rusende, Angelio didn't take much effort. Naturally passed the cross-examination of the Falcon infantry captain,
"Who are these women?"
The Falcon Infantry Captain waved his hand to Angelio, and glanced at the women behind Angelio, a little dazed, 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.
"It's my daughter and her maids!" Angelio's face looked a little unnatural, he was afraid that the Falcon Infantry Captain would ask if he personally went over. It will show up immediately and quickly said, "Too many people have died recently, and there are corpses everywhere. They are all terrified. So they dare not even say anything!"
"Are you scared to speak? Is that really the case?" The Falcon Infantry Captain glanced over, his eyebrows frowned, he walked slowly over, and circled Algernon Julia. His eyes are full of sharp light,
"It's terrible!"
Angelio stood still and didn't dare to move, crying inwardly. He knows where the loopholes are. The face and clothes can be put on makeup, but the arrogance that comes from the bones is too obvious in this woman, 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, clenched her fist, and cursed in her heart. I didn't expect that an ordinary infantry captain of the Falcon Army would have such meticulous thoughts. At this moment, 1 even if bold I didn't dare to speak, I just opened my mouth in 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 in the middle. The sharp spear made Angelio's face change. Up
"Linsta, 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
"It's 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 linger, do you suspect that these women are the Gaul Janissaries?" The Falcon Guards officer named Azoron said half-jokingly
"How is that possible? Everyone knows that the Gaul Guards are men! But I think it’s a bit strange, I immediately go to the front." The Falcon Infantry Captain responded repeatedly and waved his hand to the surrounding soldiers in a panic. , The soldiers around quickly withdrew, following him and moving forward,
"When is it all, I still 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 an unsender." , I don’t bother to care about you! Be careful!"
"Yes, thank you!" Angelio looked grateful, in fact he was scared into a cold sweat, and quickly left with Algernon Julia and a few maidservants of the royal family
"Finally completed! Your Majesty’s mission..." Half of the city wall collapsed in the southwestern capital, looking at Angelio and his party going away, Asolon leaned on the side. On the pillar scorched by the fire, he took a sweet leaf from the lining of the armor and threw it in 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 fat man 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, to deal with the interrogation, and Angelio can also become Algernon Julia’s most trusted person by virtue of this incident. As long as he returns to Kyoto, he will definitely be able to contact the high-level Gaul. Core,
"Although we are enemies, we are also awe-inspiring to clean up their bones. "In the room, Hu Keqili pretended to be cautious and said." Those who found that there was a suicide note were all carefully packed, just hope these The Guards can finally return to their hometown with a trace of souls~IndoMTL.com~ so that their relatives can rely on them. If Mr. Feitani 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 dared not face Hu Keqili's gaze. Of course he couldn't say that ten thousand imperial guards died in the southwest. This news has been blocked by the empire. These imperial guards are all from the noble 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 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 conference of the emperor will be held in advance to tomorrow. ,
A storm is gathering over Gaul Kyoto (to be continued...)
