Power and Empire Chapter 3464: Confrontation (2)


The heavy summer rain fell like a pouring rain again, and it poured so much that everything around was invisible. The swelling river water was just rolling in the wind and rain with turbulent waves. This heavy rain that is about to enter the early autumn of July seems to be We must make the last effort to retain the last time before this season's change, but the wind and rain are slashing, slashing across the sky and the white sky. The earth evaporates layers of rain and mist, covering everything in the darkness

"Woohoo"

The sound of the horn echoed sternly in the rain, tearing apart layers of white rain and fog. Announcing the retreat of another round of offensive, seeing the Hokuriku noble army retreating outside the city, countless imperial reclamation refugees flooded out of the city immediately, even if the war is still going on, the imperial reclamation refugees in the city are still struggling This is the only thing they can do to transport these mounds. Everyone knows that once the new Lanya in front of them is also breached, the tens of thousands of people still stranded in the city will be targeted by the noble army. The heavy rain caused them to have no room to escape even if they wanted to escape here at the moment

In the low-rise city walls, there are all migrants who are reclaiming tools, and there are strong men and women. There are not a few people who are wet by rain. Taking advantage of the retreat of the noble army, they are just moving toward desperately. Build up the soil above and stack these mounds higher. It is best to be able to withstand the heavy rain. It has become the expectation of tens of thousands of people stranded in the city, but the situation is not optimistic. It didn't hit the city wall, but the heavy rain blocked the aristocratic army's attack, but it also tested the small city. The wood-earth structure of the city wall was quite slumped in the rain. It’s just that the breaches are blocked with wood and stone, and the spreading and expanding moat water outside the city has even been washed under the roots of the mud wall. Every time it is washed, some mud layer will be taken away. The rammed earth wall is soft in the heavy rain, and the noble army on the opposite side The reason why I am not enthusiastic about the offense is that I am waiting for the walls of the small city to be washed away by the flood.

Using the trimming gap, the Hokuriku noble army cleared the nearby woodland and began to build large-scale siege equipment. These large slings, which were specially used to attack the stone walls, were only a dozen meters tall with their arms below. The heavy hammer of the bracket is full of heavy stones,

The heads of the reclamation groups among the reclamation refugees looked pale, and the heads of people on the long pole erected in front of the main account of the Northland noble army made their faces more gloomy, and the noble army began Dealing with unfavorable officers, it is conceivable that when the siege equipment is built, the next wave of noble army attacks must be the kind that will be fully suppressed. Under the heavy siege equipment, the small tucheng in front of them is completely unavailable. The ability to resist, losing the cover of the city wall was a slaughter for them. The sky gradually darkened. The heavy rain that had completely covered the heavens and the earth had also decreased, but it was just scattered and scattered.

"Can't this rain stop for a while?"

There are a lot of whispering complaints on the dirt wall. If two days ago, I was still expecting the rain to fall for as long as possible, now it is more thrilling to listen to the sound of water splashing from below the city wall. Few defenders on the earth wall were still standing, most of them were sitting behind the battlements. In order to increase the height and thicken the earth wall, part of the houses in the city were demolished, and the available stones and wood were all All have been collected. The old and weak women and children moved around in groups in the city, just looking for something to eat. There were still some reserves in the city, but no one expected that tens of thousands of people would gather at once, and most of them were fleeing from the front. The food in the city was almost gone within a few days for the reclamation refugees who came here. The raging flood flooded the tributaries everywhere, and destroyed countless bridges built on the tributaries. This torrential rain cut off the logistics line of the Northland Noble Army. It also cuts off the path of retreat for the reclaimed refugees,

"His Royal Highness, according to the exact news received only tonight, due to the abnormal movement of the Darksers in the southern part of Karrisu, Salton of the Imperial Southern Army is still stranded in Karrisu"

A Northland noble officer reported to Prince Albert, who was standing in front and staring at the heavy rain covering the earth, and said, Immediately on the slope, Prince Albert looked at the withered and dilapidated former Fazer with complicated eyes. The royal capital, the tall exterior walls are already covered with moss. The once glorious capital of Fazer, the political and military center that governs the west coast of southern Europe, is like discarded rubbish. No one looks at it anymore. It’s hard to imagine that the city once had a population of 500,000 and there was an endless stream of aristocratic motorcades. More than two hundred years ago, Fei Ze’s ancestors began their expedition and expansion from this land. /

"Where have the Hokuriku Noble Army's forces hit?"

Prince Albert raised his hand. In the direction he could see, a group of Fazer soldiers in armor marched toward the capital in an orderly manner, as if a sharp blade brought the land in front of him. Plowing

The large weeds on the ground were pushed aside, and the sturdy footsteps stepped heavily into the soft soil. These Fazer soldiers were a bit different from ordinary Fazer soldiers. Most of them looked short and sturdy, with fierce eyesight and more weapons in their hands. It is dominated by long-handled spiked iron rods. This is a well-known group of barbarians in Hokuriku, the Lut people. Although Hokuriku has been included in the territory by Fei Ze for more than a hundred years, it is because of the special terrain of the Hokuriku area and the edge The uplifted mountains not only block the warm current from the ocean, but also cause the shady location of the mountains. It is located in the perennial cold frozen soil, which is a typical cold hilly mountain area. A huge winding Aikia stands horizontally for three-thirds. A Hokuriku is also the main cause of the barren land in Hokuriku

However, at the foot of the Aiquia Mountains, there is a large area of ​​dense woodland. The temperature began to drop suddenly in the middle of the mountain. At the upper level, there are icebergs and cold rivers stretching for dozens of miles. The Lut people live in the Aiquia Mountains. There are huge mountains to cover, and the management of the Fazers has never been taken care of. Although the population is not large, only about 50,000 or 60 thousand, but the size is sturdy and the battle is tenacious, even the local Fazer lords dare not take it lightly. To provoke the Roots, Prince Albert took a fancy to the excellent qualities of the Roots during his escape to Hokuriku, and spent a lot of money to recruit three thousand young men from the Roots to enrich his own guard

"His Royal Highness, although the Northland Noble Army is marching westward, it has been three days, and it is still stranded under the city of Sintraya, relying on them to retake the west coast, I am afraid that it will not be possible within three or five months. At that time, the Imperial Army was afraid that they had already escaped from Kalisu and came back. "The officer who answered him showed an undisguised anger on his face." Tens of thousands of troops attacked a small Tucheng and they were able to achieve such a result. It's a weird thing. If this is the strength of the Hokuriku Noble Army, then it is too high to say that it is too high to lay down the west coast in three to five months. I am afraid that the Hokuriku Noble Army will be defeated by the empire's refugee group."

"It doesn't matter, I actually didn't expect them to take the West Coast"

In response to the officer’s complaint, Prince Albert’s mouth smiled and said coldly, "This time Xu Chongli gave the Northland nobles, naturally, he was willing to squeeze out all the functions of the Northland nobles, deliberately. Taking advantage of the demands made by the powerful people from various places and the countless wealth of the West Coast under the control of the empire to drive the Northland aristocratic army to attack, in fact, it was only used to cover people’s ears. I am not a fool, how can I be so stupid that I only need to retake King Fazer can let all aristocrats from all over the world do their best? Not to think that the capital of Fazer, which has been turned into a ruin during the civil war, can become the foundation of the revival of Fazer. Seeing that it is almost crazy. When we reach the weeds that are as high as the waist of a person, we will know what is the situation in the capital of Fazer. There is no population as the basis, no agriculture as the support, and no military forging to form an army. The revival of Fazer is a joke, and now we have taken the king back. All over the world, the giants from all over the world have also received our secret letter. What we need to do later is naturally to withdraw. Is it true that we can't wait for the imperial army to come over!

The corner of Prince Albert's mouth curled slightly. When he hurriedly evacuated the capital, he buried most of the Fazer Royal Family’s belongings in a safe place, and burned the Fazer Royal Palace on fire, deliberately creating The illusion that the Fazer royal family has been burned out. At the same time, he deliberately took advantage of the opportunity of the Fazer royal nobles to flee north, and spread the rumors that the Fazer royal family’s treasures had been carried by these north escape nobles. The revenge of the nobles, as expected, the life of these perfidious kings and nobles after they fled to Beilu was very miserable. At the beginning, the nobles of the Northland were able to treat them with amiable appearances.

However, as the Hokuriku nobles and the empire had forgotten, the two sides acquiesced to live peacefully with the royal capital area as the line, and the ugly eating habits of the Northland nobles began to be exposed. It is undoubtedly the dish in front of them, coupled with the rumors of the royal family’s belongings, has made the Hokuriku nobles ruthlessly ask the royal nobles to pursue the payment,

In the royal capital, they are arrogant and arrogant, calling the Northland nobles savages, but now in Northland, the royal nobles are just a group of mourning dogs, holding huge wealth and no ability to protect themselves. , The Hokuriku nobles can deal with them as they want. In the name of capturing the empire gap, the Hokuri nobles censored and detained the royal capital one by one, hung up and tortured, and then asked them to write down their confession and admit that they were an empire. When they were sent to Hokuriku, they brought confessions from the nobles in the capital. The nobles in the Hokuriku were justified in checking the property of these nobles in the capital and reduced all the families of the nobles in the capital to slaves.

The royal nobles who are reacting at this moment have no other way except to hand over all their belongings for safety, so the wealth of the royal nobles becomes the Hokuriku nobles, and the beautiful wives and daughters are also Hokuriku. The playthings of the nobles, but the royal treasures are still few, but no one will doubt that Prince Albert, who hurriedly fled at the beginning, will be there, but he will still arrive with tens of thousands of royal family members. After Hokuriku did not stay in the hinterland of Hokuriku, but went to a relatively remote mountainous area. For this wary Prince, the Hokuriku nobles were also at a loss.

Albert naturally saw the deeds of the Northland nobles. It was not that no royal nobles came to him to ask for help, but he refused. Since he had betrayed the royal family, he received what he deserved. Punishment is also due. In the final analysis, what really wins people’s hearts is not prestige, but profit, wealth

At the beginning, in the throne battle, he suffered such a loss. Now he knows the huge energy of his interests. This time he deliberately tricked the Hokuriku nobles from Hokuriku. In fact, it was a plan to tune the tiger away from the mountain and deliberately promised Martin's power. Yaren’s request made the Hokuriku nobles really think that they had conspired with Martin Liya, and they really decided to take the opportunity to fight.

"Found it! Found it!"

There was a loud noise in front of him. Soon, a Royal Fazer officer galloped up from a distance, and his horse’s hoof rolled up the muddy water on the ground, like a small spot rushing out of a huge rain curtain. It was only in front of Prince Albert that the horse was squeezed violently, and the front hooves of the horse stomped heavily into the muddy water in front. Everyone felt excited by the news.

"Your Highness, we found it!" the panting officer said excitedly,

"The order goes on and immediately blockade the nearby area"

Albert waved his hand calmly, looking like it was inevitable, but his heart trembled unnoticeably. The treasure collected by the Fazer royal family for more than two hundred years is What a huge number. Although it was a hasty order and the illusion that the treasure was burned, I only selected the most essential part. The rest was really burned by the fire. Many scattered treasures have not been burned, and have been spread out. Everything looks so seamless, but it is fake to say that Prince Albert has no worries. Now it is finally a boulder landing

Actually, Albert said he was going to occupy the royal capital, but he was actually heading for those royal treasures.

He is Prince Fazer. He has grown up in Fazer Palace since he was a child. He is very familiar with Fazer Palace. He also knows that the secret room where the Fazer royal family’s possessions are placed actually has two upper and lower structures. The night before the decisive battle~IndoMTL.com~ he ordered the royal family’s wealth to be transferred to a lower level secret room to avoid falling into the hands of the empire.

This time the royal capital dispatched troops, it is the intention to withdraw Hokuriku immediately after digging out the wealth of the Fazer royal family.

Yes, it's Hokuriku. Albert didn't even want to stay in King Fazer's capital at all. What's the use of such a ruined place?

From the very beginning, Albert had conspired with Hokuriku. He kept saying that he wanted to regain the capital and restore the glory of Fei Ze. What he really wanted was Hokuri. He had blocked Fei Ze. In this enclave of the Kingdom for more than 100 years, the northern land is typically easy to defend and difficult to attack. Anyone who keeps a mountain road can withstand attacks from the royal capital area.

This is like tailor-made for Fei Ze Zhongxing. The noble army has already come out, and the number of troops left behind is probably not even five thousand. Because Hokuriku has absorbed a large number of refugees from the royal capital, the population has skyrocketed. , Under the excessive conquests of the Hokuriku nobility, the stock of materials in Hokuchi has reached an astonishing level, and there are also a large number of royal capitals and nobles where the wealth is located

It can be said that it is a land of ZTE where you need money and money, food and food, and soldiers and soldiers. As long as you have the Northland in your hands and watch the changes, you will really have contact with yourself. Fei Zezhongxing can Not a joke
