Power and Empire Chapter 3829: The death knell of Aden (3)
The Fourth Army of Aden arrived in the early morning. In the morning, the crystal clear dew slid from the blades to the ground while shaking slightly on the ground. A rumbling sound resounded on the peaceful ground in the distance.
A team of light cavalry with blue capes emerged from the plateau up and down like waves and mounds. The cavalry on horsebacks were sturdy and dark, as if they were covered with a layer of grease. They were the first to ride alone. It was a middle-aged man wearing a general armor and it was Toblas, commander of the Fourth Army of Aden. He suddenly stopped the mount in front, waved his hand back, and swiped! More than a hundred cavalrymen squeezed the horses under their hips, raising a wave of rising smoke, and behind the cavalry there was a wave of tremors
A black line emerged from behind the cavalry, and the stars and moon flags of the Kingdom of Aden were slapped by the night breeze. Numerous swords and swords were cold, and the iron armor was like a huge silver wave. In the footsteps, the roaring wind in the night is even more solemn. Seeing this scene, the Aden generals who have been waiting for most of the night couldn't help but swallowed their saliva.
"It's the Fourth Army!"
"It really deserves to be the Fourth Army, one of the two armies of the Royal Capital. It is really breathtaking. I am afraid it is better than the Imperial Army team."
The Fourth Army of Aden really deserves to be one of the two major guards of the capital. Just showing its momentum, it gives people a kind of suffocating pressure. The generals of Aden admired the entry of the Fourth Army. For Cluo, it definitely strengthened the defensive force. Even if the battle with the imperial army was damaged a lot, the addition of the Fourth Army of Aden was enough to tilt the balance of the war on the Aden side. At the same time, an Aden scout cavalry flew. He rushed to the front of Prince Sotorosu who had been waiting for most of the night and reported the arrival of the Fourth Army of Aden. After listening to the report, Prince Sotorosu could not help but frowned slightly. Toblas was really rebellious. It's crazy to send someone to tell myself that the Fourth Army of Aden is not here for vacation, which undoubtedly means that the other troops are exclusive.
Seeing the expressions of the other generals of Aden who dared not speak, Prince Sotorossu suppressed his inner anger, and soon the famous Aden 4th Army Commander Toblas, a close minister of the King of Aden, The figure is thick and sturdy, and the arms exposed under the armor leaves are even thicker. They are like a black iron tower when riding on a war horse. A pair of wide and long eyes narrowed slightly, like two thin blades of willow leaves. A ferocious sense of wild wolf,
"Everyone, today’s meeting is really a bit long, I won’t say too many polite words. This time I came to Luke Boao, the Fourth Army was only for one thing, and that was to let the entire continent know, Emperor ** The team is not invincible. In front of my sharp scimitar of Aden, I will bring back the head of the imperial general who invaded the kingdom of Aden as a congratulatory gift to the emperor!" Toblas said with a grim expression
"What does this mean?"
"What does it mean to not come on vacation? Are we here on vacation?
This Toblas is so mad that he doesn't put everyone in his eyes at all, that is, His Royal Highness. . . . . "Toblas's words were ridicules and explosions at other generals, and they immediately detonated the generals' emotions. Although the Fourth Army of Aden has the nickname of the King's Guards, it is too defiant. He wanted to fight for half a month. The Emperor team defeated, what he thought he was! It’s just that these words of the generals, before he had time to say them, Toblas glanced at the generals’ faces with stern and slender eyes, and said calmly again. "I want to ask, where is the emperor team now?" When the Fourth Army first comes, it is always necessary to give you a meeting ceremony."
"Meeting ceremony!"
The generals of Aden stunned, and then they showed amazement. This guy is not mad, but mad. Toblas means he wants to attack the emperor team alone! This is not a joke. The Imperial Army team, which strangled 3,000 people with 18,000 people, even hit the head and broke the blood. Toblas’s fourth army was full of calculations, that is, 20,000 people. Want to touch the emperor?
"The Imperial Army is in Bursad" did not know what the purpose was. Someone in General Aden called out. The other generals of Aden were silent. Even Prince Sotorosu was silent. Since Toblas wants to provoke the entire group of generals, it’s good to watch the excitement for himself. Although Sotorrosu is the prince of Aden, his fief is not near the capital, but is located in the northwest of Bokluo Province, close to In the narrow strip of the lower half of the Gulf of Aden, the Kulossaya area, as a local prince, has been close to the two most powerful armies that have been stationed in the heart of the capital, the First Army of Aden under the Royal Banner and the King. Wei’s Fourth Army of Aden is more than just curiosity.
In the history of the Kingdom of Aden, the twin armies of the royal capital are more like a Dinghai Shenzhen, a sword used by the Aden royal family to suppress foreign lords. The twin armies of the royal capital have only left the royal capital four times in history, and all of them are suppressed. The lord of the region rebelled, and the two armies of the kings and capitals almost crushed victory with their absolute power, so that they became two sharp swords on the heads of the nobles in the Aden territory
However, Prince Sotorosu, who is one of the branches of the royal family, knows better that the real goal of the two armies of the royal capital in the royal capital is not to suppress foreign lords, but to guard against another powerful opponent of the royal family of Aden, Aden Red Dragon Palace, the Aden Red Dragon Knights of the Red Dragon Palace of Aden stationed at the Red Dragon Hall all the year round, so the royal capital twin armies of the Aden royal family are also stationed in the royal capital all year round, and this time, it is said that the Red Dragon Knights of Aden Red Dragon Palace have an accident In the southern part of Eero was destroyed by the First World War, the elite knights prepared by the Red Dragon Palace in Aden for decades lost most of them, and they could no longer pose a threat to the royal family of Aden in terms of force. Therefore, it is normal for the Fourth Army of Aden to leave the capital and go south.
The sharpest sword of the royal family of Aden and the invincible spear of the empire will look like when it touches, Prince Sotorosu also wants to see, the fourth of Aden, known as one of the two armies of the royal capital What is so special about the army? Bursad is not far from the Aden Army camp. After asking and learning that there are only about three thousand emperors in Bursad, Toblas glanced at the corner of his mouth with disdain.
"What is the reason for the Emperor's attack on Bursad?"
Toblas asked with a frown, he just arrived after all, and he hasn’t fully understood the whole battle. If he thinks that Toblas is a stunned boy, it would be a big mistake to become a king. One of the commanders of the Du Shuang Army, not only if he is the confidant of His Majesty the King, but also his wisdom, strategy and courage is a temporary choice.
Toblas seems to be not well-known in the Aden Army, but no one knows that Toblas used other names in the four directions of the Aden Kingdom before becoming the commander of the Aden Fourth Army. Each has stayed for two years. He has caught sand pirates in the scorching sun oasis, hunted down pirates in the picturesque Gulf of Aden, and personally planned a small-scale war against the southern continent. In the south of the Gulf of Aden, because there is no war, it is the only place Toblas has never been. As for the situation in the south, I have only reviewed the situation on the map
"Bursad is the only way to the northwestern Luosu Mountain mining area. If you open this road, you can enter the Luosu Mountain mining area." This time it was Prince Soto Luosu who had calmed down at the moment and saw Tob Lars had a blank look, and his nose snorted heavily. As the head of the southern front, Prince Sotorosu had a headache for the empire's attack and the release of slaves all the way. It was often the emperor's team that had withdrawn from that place. , But hundreds of slaves were released
"Luosu Mountain mining area? Where does the Emperor ** team go and do?
"The Luosu Mountain mining area is the largest mine in Aden in the south. There are as many as 50,000 slaves in the mining area alone. The goal of the emperor team should be these 50,000 people. This is not the first time that the emperor team has done it. This kind of thing, this time the emperor team that invaded the south of my Aden only had about 30,000 people, but it was like a frenzy that engulfed all the four provinces in the south of my Aden, because the emperor’s team attacked every place. Just release the slaves in one place. Before and after, nearly 100,000 slaves have been released by the imperial army. The imperial army gave these slaves some simple weapons, and then allowed these slaves to attack the nobles’ manors and mansions. The chaos and turmoil in the entire region will be in vain unless we kill all the slaves. Even relying on the whole, the Thirty Thousand Emperor ** team has caused us four provinces to be overwhelmed, and Sora puts us in such a passive situation.”
"Dogs that have eaten people cannot be kept. The slaves dare to offend their masters, so it should be eliminated."
Toblas nodded, just watching the battle reports sent from the south, you can’t see these. It is clear that Aden has a huge advantage in military strength, even several times the strength of Dili. I couldn’t breathe when I was attacked by the four lines of the Imperial Army team at the same time. I was also very strange in front of this situation. I now know that after listening to it, the reason is the slaves in the South.
Although the southern area of the Gulf of Aden is not rich, it is backed by huge mountains and boundless seas. It is an absolutely safe zone. Although the population is not dense, it is a densely distributed area of aristocratic plantations in the Grand Aden. It is conservatively estimated. Aden’s nobles had more than 17,000 plantations in the southern Gulf of Aden, and there were more than three million slaves working in the plantations. The Kingdom of Aden had never thought that the huge number of plantations and slaves would become the current situation. The main reason for the erosion in the south is that although the emperor’s army does not have many troops, it wins in the elite. Every time the emperor’s army hits a plantation, it will inevitably release all the slaves of the plantation. Think about the millions in the south. Slave, Toblas also felt his scalp numb
"If the emperor team enters the Luosu Mountain mining area and releases all the 50,000 slaves inside, then these slaves will inevitably impact the entire surrounding area for more than a hundred miles, and even spread to the birthplace of His Majesty, the royal territory Lasui Palace." Prince Tolosu paused in a meaningful voice, "Your Majesty will soon become emperor. If La Sui Palace is attacked by rebellious slaves, the consequences will be...
"La Sui Palace!" Toblas's complexion changed slightly. La Sui Palace is the royal residence in the south. If it is a deadly residence, it will be fine, but La Sui Palace is not a general residence, but the current King of Aden. Even the royal family has prepared to change Lasui Palace into Lasui Hall to cater to the king’s enthroned emperor. If Lasui Palace is contaminated by slaves, 1 news spreads to the capital, in front of other Aden vassal forces. ~IndoMTL.com~ is to beat His Majesty in the face of the King naked, the dignified Aden Empire, even the slaves in the south can't hold it back, what face is there to be promoted to the empire! So Bossard must not let the Emperor ** team control! ‘
"Come on, give my order, the whole army will turn to Bursad!" Toblas's face tightened. Although he knew that Prince Sotorosu meant to run himself, at least one thing was right. The emperor team must not be allowed to enter the mining area, and the emperor must not be allowed to release the slaves in the mine area.
Under the city of Berthard, the traces of the fierce battle ahead are still there. The broken Aden flag inserted diagonally on the ground flutters in the morning breeze. Fragments of broken swords are everywhere. The Aden flag is grinning, dark blue like squares. The army lined up on the wide flat ground outside the city, countless sharp lances unfolded like a forest, Toblas rode on a war horse, and beat the riding boots with a whip wrapped in gold tassels in his hand
His fierce gaze constantly sweeps the city in front, and the hand holding the whip tightens unconsciously
Although Persad is not a big city, it is not badly prepared. The heavy iron ring gate is tightly closed. The walls are filled with densely packed imperial soldiers. A dozen old catapults are in the four-corner tower of Persad. It is difficult to tighten the lever. From the height and thickness of the city wall, Bethad can definitely be regarded as a very strong defensive line. It is no wonder that Prince Sotorosu’s troops in front will not attack all day and night.
