Pastanon stood on the heights of the Royal Capital Wharf of Feshan, looking at the huge city below his feet. The densely layered houses stretched out more than ten miles. There were almost no pedestrians in the streets, Feshanruul On the towering spire of the palace, fluttering the last Feishan gold pattern on this land, the afterglow of the setting sun, drifting under the lifeless pale blue sky, the city in front of us was once the master of this land, which has not been in a century. A symbol of submission, it used to disdain Central Europe with hundreds of thousands of heroes, but now it is just a city waiting to be accepted.
Since the defeat of the Battle of Bavarid, the resistance of the Feshans has been weak. The 300,000 young soldiers lost the battle and the army was completely unable to fight again. Although there are tens of thousands of people left on the coast, Under the front and back of the imperial army, tens of thousands of troops finally chose to surrender.
Bavaria, dancing in the snow, solidified Feshan’s ambition, cut off Feshan’s backbone, and built the largest tomb in the history of Central Europe, plus it occupies 8% of Feshan’s population. Ten slaves were in riots, internal and external troubles, and Fei Shan, a country that was trapped between the east and west camps for a hundred years and was still as tenacious as a grass, finally collapsed, but this time it was no longer able to recover slowly like the previous few times. The foundation of the past is like the wry smile of the crown prince before his death, like the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated by the distant ridge, only the trailing black shadows are left.
Behind Pastanon, a dozen Feshan Janitor officers in civilian clothes stood. One of the Janitor officers came up from behind and saluted Pastanon and said, "My lord, the ship has entered. Port, please board the ship now"
" You shouldn’t have to follow me. The wanted list of the Imperial Army does not involve you." Pastanon took back his gaze from a distance, and said to the Guards officer behind him, his gaze was complicated and heavy. Leave your home country. His pain is like a thorn on everyone’s heart. Parting may mean never coming back. When the fate is so cruelly placed in front of us, I discover the ordinary scenery of the past, which is so unbearable to see at this moment. , I just hope to stay forever, deeply reflected in my mind, I hope that in ten or twenty years, when the old age is weak, I can still remember this warm summer breeze that belongs to Fei Shan. This is Fei Shan. At Shan’s last moment, when the sunset disappears, the Feshan gold pattern on the top of the Ruhr Palace will come down. Next time, the Falcon flag of the Empire will be raised. The final power change of this land will be completed. Feishan will go down the mountain. Will no longer exist
" Follow the adults because I think that adults are Fei Shan’s last hope. If even the adults give up, I will become confused and become like those people, forgetting that I was Fei Shan’s. Soldier! "The officer Fei Shan looks very mediocre. He is only middle-lower in the relatively tall Fei Shan, and looks inconspicuous at first glance, but at the moment he says this, his eyes are bright and afraid of people. , Such people are either calm or crazy. In fact, at this moment, they are still willing to follow Pastanon to exile. They are lunatics and idealists themselves.
"Do you know that choosing me is equivalent to choosing a life of drifting, rootless duckweed, and even facing expulsion from other countries at any time? It may even be silently engulfed by darkness and become nameless"
Pastanon stretched out his hand and patted the officer’s shoulder, turned and walked towards a merchant ship that had been parked in the port. Unlike the empty situation in the city, the Wangdu Wharf was full of people at the moment, and the carriages full of goods stopped. The nobles loudly scolded the servants to carry things on the ship. The imperial army will enter the capital after sunset and completely take over the city. Feishan has become a historical term. Originally, the empire had some hesitating occupation actions. After the assassination failed, it became a place where there is no need to worry. The imperial army has surrounded the city like a **** war knife hanging high, shrouded in the sky of the city, and Kyoto is already there. People are in danger, the nobles fled one after another, the imperial army issued an ultimatum to King Fei Shan, and the final time limit is the moment when the sun falls to the horizon today, the sun will go down and will rise, Fei Shan Kyoto opens There will be no more Fei Shan at the gate.
The guard officer who followed Pastanon onto the merchant ship did not answer him, but asked in a low voice, "My lord, which country are we going to the south?" With the fall of Feshan, the entire north-central part is the Falcon Empire. The territory of the Falcon Empire is currently the only one that is still contending with the Falcon Empire, even in the southern part of the Inland Sea, so it is easy for people to think that the area where Pastanon will be exiled is the southern part.
"Don’t go to the south, let’s go to Istanbul! "Unexpectedly, Pastanon gave a surprising answer
"Istan?" The officer was dumbfounded. Although Fei Shan is gone, it does not mean that the century-old grievances between Fei Shan and the Istanbul people have also disappeared.
"Go to see someone!" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Pastannon’s mouth, and a man who had been considered a traitor to Feshan appeared in his mind. At the beginning, he was so naive, even if a person is a traitor or forbearance. Without coming out, I almost killed this person. When the news came, I knew how much this person had played in Istanbul. If it wasn't for the rebellion caused by this person, how could it have caused the Istanbul army to spend money on it? The reversal of the situation in Shan’s battle has left the emperor of Istanbul unclear. Although Feshan eventually missed the opportunity to enter Istanbul because of the war with the empire, no one can deny that this person’s role, at this moment, can still be Like myself, there is probably only that person who is still adhering to the faith in the restoration of Feishan!
" The guest, please leave the ship’s side and start sailing! “The sailor’s shout came from the front of the ship’s side, and Pastanon stepped back awkwardly. The vibration from the ship gave him a This kind of dizziness, for the first time, the famous fierce general of Feishan Kingdom realized that he was seasick! In a trance, the ship left the port and headed towards Istanbul. Pastanon vomited on the deck in the dark. . . . . .
The southern coastline of the Istanian Empire is exceptionally calm. The golden sun shines on the sea, and there are only extremely weak light waves on the side of the ship. A strand of silky white clouds are reflected under the blue sky. The quiet sea often It means that the storm is coming, so the old sailors are not used to this kind of offshore area with almost invisible waves. The Harvey Kingdom Army, one of the six southern countries, is known as the southern European fleet using huge ships. The head broke through the waves, between the hulls, countless ripples spread out in circles, and the warships collided with each other while they were moving, and they shattered or merged into a larger circle. The sea surface seemed to be rolled by an invisible force. , The sea breeze blew the Harvey Kingdom flag on the mast of the battleship to hunt and hunt,
"Unexpectedly, my Harvey Navy will have the moment to return to the Inland Sea." A thin, middle-aged aristocrat wearing Harvey Kingdom aristocratic costumes stood on the bow of the flagship, his eyes swept slightly. The sea in front of you, the Kingdom of Harvey in the east of Obaro, known as the country of deserts and oceans, is located close to the southwestern part of Eastern Europe, and borders the Mughal dynasty in the southern section of Central Bahia on land. There are more than ten large and small island chains. The Strand island chain is one of them. It has a fairly developed marine civilization. The first established navy in the inland sea area is the Harvey Kingdom Navy.
In fact, before the Strands got rid of Harvey control, the eastern part of the Inland Sea was always the battlefield for the Feshan Navy and Harvey Navy.
Eighty years ago, the Strand Islands, who accounted for one third of the Harvey Kingdom’s navy, suddenly left the ship when the Harvey Navy’s main force was fighting against the Feshan Navy’s main force in order to get rid of the control of the Harvey Kingdom. The group, emptying the right wing, led to the destruction of the Harvey Kingdom Navy under the attack of Feshan Navy.
Then the Strand Islands announced its separation from the Harvey Kingdom. Without a naval fleet, the Harvey Kingdom could only stare at Strand’s rebellion. Instead, it was the Strand Navy, through the Harvey Navy. The opportunity for Feshan’s navy to be severely injured has risen rapidly in decades. Instead, it surpassed Feshan’s navy and became the number one in the inland sea. The Kingdom of Harvey turned to the Moro waters in another section of the southern continent of Obaron. After decades of rest and recuperation, although the Harvey Navy has recovered its original prosperous power, it has not shown much interest in the inland sea. Compared with the fierce competition in the inland sea, the Moro Sea area is obviously more profitable.
Only this time, in response to the pressure of the Imperial Navy, the Harvey Navy, which has been extinct for decades in the inland seas, reappeared in the inland sea battlefield. It is also the undisputed strongest navy in a century, the Imperial Navy. Fleet, to be cautious, the Harvey Naval Fleet just moved in the direction of Istanbul along the coastline,
A tall cliff wall as smooth as a mirror in the distance stopped the eyes of the middle-aged aristocrat standing on the bow of the ship. Mirror Light Cliff, the boundary line between the coastline of the Harvey Kingdom and the coastline of the Istan Empire,
"Lular, the Intelligence Department really confirmed the direction of Istanbul, did the Imperial Navy have only one fleet appearing?" The thin Harvey aristocrat turned around from the bow and asked the adjutant of the fleet standing behind him. The two cast iron eyebrows are slightly frowned, and a large sapphire ring is worn on the long fingers, which looks particularly dazzling in the sun
"Although it is determined that there is only one at present, there is news that at least two imperial naval squadrons are moving in the direction of Istanbul"
Fleet Adjutant Lular, who has a background as a son of the Harvey royal family, said with a certain look that the fine lineage of the royal family is well reflected in him, with an elegant and tall posture, and his flaxen hair from a round-edged navy hat. Flowing out, the navy admiral's uniform is dotted with delicate tassels, the uniform buttons of yellow duan tassels, and the edges of the neckline are trimmed with gold lines. He looks handsome and extraordinary. He is only twenty-six years old and is already a first-class Harvey Admiralty. Admiral, this has the capacity to lead a fleet alone,
Compared to the five countries in the other inland seas, the Harvey Kingdom’s geographical location is unique. It is located in the narrow strip of southern Obaro and the southern part of Central Bia. If you compare it to a leaky clock, it is in the middle of the leaked clock. The place where Eastern and Western cultures converge, long ago, was the center of the Darius dynasty, which had extended its influence over half of Southern Europe, and was the hub of shipping and transportation in the southern mainland. Now, the sea fleet of the Harvey Kingdom occupies It accounts for 60% of the maritime trade in southern China, and its economic strength and war power cannot be underestimated.
"So, maybe we are facing three imperial fleets?" The face of the thin noble became solemn
" It’s true, but there’s nothing to worry about, because even if the opponent breaks his head, we’ll hide in the coastline! Since there’s no need to face it, there’s no danger at all." Adjutant Lular didn’t care. "On the contrary, the increase in the Imperial Navy’s fleet proves our guess. The Imperial Navy is preparing for large-scale transport of troops. The regiment nearest to Istanbul is still in Feshan. If land transportation is adopted, no matter how you look at it, The consumption and possible obstacles are far greater than sea transportation. At a critical moment, to block the opponent’s transport ship and break the myth of the imperial navy’s invincibility. This is our mission!"
"This is the plan made by the Deputy Chief of the Admiralty of the Kingdom, Abdullah. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone who would choose the transport fleet as the target!" The thin nobleman coughed with an ugly face, and looked a little bit Don’t agree, the dignified Harvey Navy actually used transport ships as the target of the raid. Who would believe it? But Abdullah, who was born as a pirate, is an exception~IndoMTL.com~ This young man who was only thirty-three years old and climbed to the throne of the No. 3 figure in the Kingdom Navy is definitely a wizard in the Harvey Navy, Apu Although Dura was born as a pirate, he has no blood, but it can be traced back to the sea king Kadori Crow, one of the three heroes of the Harvey Kingdom, and he was awarded the title of the first marquis of the kingdom for half a year. Previously, he led the Harvey Navy fleet to defeat the Mughal navy that had been entangled for half a century, and completed the hegemony over the entire Moro Sea.
"As long as you can win, why care about the means!" Adjutant Lullar looked calm, the battleship passed the mirror cliff as the dividing line, the Harvey navy's participation in the war was the top secret of the six nations, almost the six nations The king of China knows,
So when the Harvey navy fleet crossed the southern coastline of Istanbul and rushed towards Istanbul, the Seventh Fleet of the Empire, which was parked outside Istanbul, was still busy moving those stranded in Feshan. One hundred thousand Istanbul soldiers transported to Kyoto, and the Seventeenth Transport Fleet, carrying 7,000 Istanbul soldiers, left Feshan Port with full load
At noon, the sun was violent. At the bend of the coastline, the waves ejected white tumbling lines, slapped heavily on the cliffs, some huge shadows were floating, splashing waves of waves, ghostly lurking in The shadow of the cliff wall, the waves hit the sides of some of them, forming pieces of white blisters, making a gurgling sound, and the quiet wind gave people a solemn atmosphere,
