Power and Empire Chapter 3734: Misty Dawn (21)
The morning sun shines on the loess wilderness south of Eero earlier than before, emitting awe-inspiring light
The buildings here are simple and huge. Many of them are directly piled up with huge stones. The traces of the years have left speckled marks on these old stones, which look mottled from the outside. old. Between the streaks and streaks, there are still faint traces of different colors. It seems that it has been soaked for a long time, and then it is eroded by the wind and sand. It looks like they are left on the ancient city. Scar
When the wind passes by, it will bring a lot of dust. The whole area is shrouded in a sea of gray dust. The climate in the south of Eero has left large patches of loess since the great flood eighty years ago, but it is strange that large patches of white morning fog will appear in the morning, flowing like water on the ravine land, look. It looks like the kingdom of heaven in the dream. Only the southerners of Erot know that these white mists are not as beautiful as they seem, but are things that can really kill people. Some people say that this is the holy city for the betrayers. Curse, some people say that this is the coming of the kingdom of God, these mortals have left their bodies, and their souls have entered the kingdom of God
The great flood 80 years ago covered the south of Eero for three months. Although it caused huge losses, it was not enough to turn the south into an insurvivable Jedi. At that time, the southern region of Eero was warm, humid and rushing. Every time the large rivers in the city flooded, fertile black soil sludge was left. The priests from the holy city built the holy city branch in the south, guiding the Erotians to plant food on the black sludge. The huge flooded land, star-like , Dotted with sheepskin tents that stretch for several miles, the smoke in the camp is like the Optimus Pillar straight into the sky, standing straight one by one, the sky is twisted by the white smoke into a hazy veil, giving people a kind of spirituality. Sacred
The southern part of Eero is the most important grain-producing area in the holy city, even surpassing the large plains in the north that was caused by the impact of the estuary of the large river. It was not until the great flood that flooded again 80 years ago, and this time, the flood of the large river It spread for a full three months, and almost cleaned the entire south of Eero. As the flood receded, what was left was this fog like the kingdom of God in the sky
No one can stay in this white mist for too long, or for one or two days, or four or five days, and you will have difficulty breathing. After six days, your nose will bleed, and every breath will look like It’s a skin drum that was smashed and pulled, and in the end people either went mad, or went blind, or the body was curled together, with a weird shuddering smile on his face
"It’s really not a place to make people happy. I don’t know what the upper echelons of the kingdom think. This area is of no value to us. At this time, the Gulf of Aden is the season when flowers are spreading over the entire Long Bay. , The wild sheep in Sanhe Tu are even more fat, but my dignified Royal Highness the Prince of Aden has to face a piece of yellow sand here!"
The prince of the Kingdom of Aden, Konif, complained to a middle-aged Aden behind him with a displeased face. As a prince of Aden, Konif was not well-known in the kingdom of Aden, because the prince of Aden had the title of prince. There are a total of thirty-eight. In Aden, the prince is not an enviable title, because according to the regulations of the Aden royal family, unless there is military merit or other special contributions, even the prince cannot get a fief. Most They were all left in the royal capital and left unused, relying on receiving a portion of the tribute from the royal family every quarter. Of course, some princes with low status chose another method, which is to invest in the industry.
The Kingdom of Aden is different from other kingdoms. Before the rise of the Northern Falcon Empire, the most commercial atmosphere in the entire Obaro region was probably the Kingdom of Aden, because the people of Aden were responsible for transporting supplies to the holy city. When the nobles of other European countries regarded merchants as cheap businesses, the Aden nobles had begun to form caravans to cross the vast desert. Between the holy city and the Gulf of Aden area on the other side of the desert, a long line was drawn. With the help of the holy city, he built his own city in the Gulf of Aden. It was the Aden nobles who first transported commodities from Central and Bahia to the Obaro area. They were called the desert. Blue nobility
The middle-aged nobleman standing behind Konif smiled disapprovingly
"The empire must go south, at least for now, I don’t see any signs of the empire going south, let alone such a barren land, what value is it for the empire" Connie Prince Husband did not conceal his depreciation and dislike of this land, whether from his status as the Prince of Aden or the status of the vice-chairman of the two Kubiro Chambers of Commerce under the Royal Family of Aden. Although the Royal Family of Aden required military merit, they did not They will not give their descendants a way to survive. Business is one of the choices for these Princes of Aden. Therefore, many aristocrats in Aden have business backgrounds. Even the elders of Aden, who disturbed the situation in China and Bahia, also used Disguise the identity of the merchant
"The empire will go south!" The middle-aged Aden nobleman was playing with a piece of snow-white mellow pink jade pendant. He looked at the yellow sand outside the window and was lifted by the wind, but his tone was extremely positive. Meaning
"Since I have arrived here, as a part of the Red Dragon Palace and the Royal Family, I can ask, what does the Red Dragon Palace want this time? Of course, if it involves something that cannot be explained, then When I didn’t say hello, "Konif took a deep breath and looked at the middle-aged nobleman who didn’t speak much. The latter sentence was obviously a little lacking. This is a sign of his timidity. In the final analysis, although he was young, He also dreamed of being invincible on the battlefield, the sword knows it, and the army is rushing, but that has passed. Now he is forty-three years old and has already passed the age of rushing blood. Compared with the desire for military service, he hopes that he can Go back alive
This time, it’s against hundreds of undefeated empires. The Southern War that just ended has such a favorable opportunity that the empire has turned it over, and this time my opponent is the empire. Thinking about it, this is not The Prince of Aden, who was a soldier, felt a toothache. The empire’s appearance in the Battle of the South was too cruel.
At the beginning, the Fei Ze Beilu nobles who were able to carry the Fei Ze royal family, and the proper regional military force, were sunk by the empire collectively in just ten days, and half a million Martin Liya people swept all the way and beat Harvey. The kingdom hid on the plateau, and the sect kingdoms that they fought lost their helmets and armors, and all of them south of the holy capital were lost. But in front of the empire, it only lasted for 20 days. The 500,000 army collapsed, the strongest of the three tribes. If the Yier people were captured collectively, if it hadn’t been a Skyline, it would have been a replica of the First North-South War. The 700,000 southern coalition forces were destroyed, and even less than 10,000 who were able to come back alive were directly moved. The entire south has maintained a pattern for decades
Poros, the deputy commander of the Red Dragon Cavalry Group of the Kingdom of Aden. The Red Dragon Cavalry Group is a military weapon belonging to the Red Dragon Palace and is not dispatched by the Royal Family of Aden. This time, it secretly arrived at the Red Dragon Battle of Aden in the south of Eero. The cavalry regiment has 24,000 troops, of which there are 8,000 cavalrymen, and 1,400 following the Red Dragon Knights. They are all elites trained by the Red Dragon Palace since childhood. They can truly be ten soldiers. This has not been moved for many years. Of the Red Dragon Battle Banner.
As a member of the royal family, even if he is not a core member of the royal family, Copernicus can guess that the sudden intervention of the Red Dragon Palace must involve an extraordinary matter. It should be with Eero who migrated to the south of Eero. Something sent by the royal family was related, and the Red Dragon Palace took out the map that had been hidden for many years, so that the Eero Navy could smoothly cross the sea of mist
"Elder Aglan cannot die in vain, but Nelia’s holy city remains must be brought back, the secrets of the Royal family of Eero must be taken away, and the empire must spit out the swallowed meat. It’s the only way to do it, and to do all this, you can only rely on the climate in the south of Eero." Although Aden is nominally headed by his prince, in fact, the real leader is obviously Paula in front of him. Si, I saw him withdraw his gaze from the yellow sand from a distance, and muttered in a low voice, "There is really no value here, but if it is used as a battlefield, this place will be the greatest value, because this place itself is the discarded place after the advent of the kingdom of God. Land"
"I heard that the yellow sand here was caused by the great flood 80 years ago?" This is what he heard from hearsay, and he didn't care about it. How could a great flood change the entire southern part of Eero for thousands of miles? Environment, but now it’s another matter to hear Poros say so. Poros is the deputy commander of the Red Dragon Cavalry Group, and even the fourth person in the Red Dragon Palace, because the Red Dragon Cavalry Group’s The group leader himself is the master of the Red Dragon Palace in the past. The origin of the Red Dragon Palace can be traced back to the collapse of the holy city. Poros must have known something to say such a thing. Hearing this, brother Prince Baini trembled slightly, with a trembling voice in his voice, he asked carefully
"I was not sure before, but now I can be sure that it was caused by the flood." Poros replied
"How can a great flood happen...!"
"If there is no error in the record, it is not an ordinary flood, but the result of someone releasing a divine punishment and allowing the kingdom of God to come in the sky. Just like the kingdom of God came 20,000 years ago, extinction itself represents It’s a fresh start, so no one can be forgiven here, even the emperor who is known as the **** of war"
Poros' eyes were stern and fearful, and his slightly undulating chest showed how excited he was at the moment. His eyes were full of memories and said, "The Red Dragon Temple came from the Holy City, and no one knows where the Holy City itself came from. The Holy City collapsed. , The Eye of God, a symbol of the holy city, was taken away by the original priests, which attracted the pursuit and killing of the major branches. Among them, the Eero branch was the most active in it, even killing the leader of the priests, and finally attracted The cruel revenge of the priests led to the advent of the kingdom of God. The flood flooded for 33 days and destroyed everything. Except for a small number of people in the Eero branch survived, most of them died in this advent, and finally the entire south of Eero. Turned into yellow sand, a large area of fog makes everything fall into nirvana"
"The kingdom of God is coming!"
Even if Copernicus didn’t know what the kingdom of God was coming, it was a little difficult to breathe suppressed by a heavy atmosphere at this moment. Looking at the yellow sand outside, he showed a look of fear. Not formed naturally, but formed by the great flood eighty years ago. What a terrible change that caused such terrible environmental changes
"My prince, don't worry too much. Eighty years have passed. Even if there are any remaining divine punishments, it will fade away." Poros smiled, but what came out later made Copernicus almost "It’s said that more than six million people died in the southern part of Eero because of the great flood, of which about 800,000 died in the great flood, and the remaining five million were all two years after the great flood subsided. The violent deaths in a large area, God's punishment, the kingdom of God, come to annihilate everything... Doesn't His Royal Highness feel that the yellow sand in the south of Eero is very similar to the environment of our Aden Desert, the same dry, and the same back. The sea is surrounded by unexplainable dryness. Judging from the present appearance, the temple believes that the holy city was once the kingdom of God, but it has collapsed. The priests who took away the eyes of the gods wanted to reappear the holy city. I am now in the Kingdom of God, but because of the intervention of the Aero people, the priests eventually threw the important items to call the kingdom of God in the south of Aero. This time the reason why the temple sent me to find the traces of the kingdom of God is also one of them."
"The kingdom of God is still in the south of Eero..." Copernicus felt his hair stand up when he heard these words, his back was swishing, his calves and his calves were all up. Smoked, fighting against the empire is already holding his head, and now I have to look for traces of the kingdom of God in this place where more than 6 million people died in just two years. What bad luck is this for myself!
The base camp of the princes in the south of Hérault~IndoMTL.com~Cugunia Valley, the summer sun is warm and warm, making people feel comfortable. The sunlight covers the leaves with a layer of golden yellow, surrounded by two towering emerald green peaks. The temporary observation tower controls the location of the intersection. This place is less than fifteen miles from King Eero, and it is still considered Eero. In the central and northern regions, the ocean water vapor coming from the back makes the vegetation flourish here. Large tracts of forest are covered in dark green in the summer. The tents of the princes in the south of Eero stretch for several miles. The horses are small and the spears are like woods and metal. The reflection of the armor gives people a strong oppressive force,
"My lord, there is news from the north, my lady"
In the main tent of the Marquis of Tamken, one of the three major southern princes, the attendant Tamus took a secret letter that he had just received, walked in respectfully to report it, and sat at the long table in the tent. The old man is wearing chain mail and his hair is gray, but even in the hotter and hotter May, the old man’s figure is still not curled up at all, but a pair of bright and deep eyes makes people feel more compelling. Human pressure, he is the Marquis of Tamken, known as the southern sand lion. As the head of the Tamken family, he raised his head and took the secret letter from the servant, his eyes swept sharply. Just take a look and put it aside.
"The empire will have big moves? This argument has been said many times. The fact that the empire has increased its forces in the north of Eero is not enough to explain, let's put it here first."
