Black Scepter Chapter 49: How do the guys there spend the winter? (Four k words)
>For Ashcandi, an unexpected accident did not disrupt her plans.
Hagel’s invasion of West Sellin was already her planned thing. Even if Morpheus didn’t appear, things would develop as they do now—Hegel occupied the Lampard territory and became a complete puppet regime. But the Buttigian royal family in the distance was unaware of this.
In the past, Ashcandi sent all the main troops to the fringe cities. While weakening the strength of the other party, it was also to save his own army strength. Two victories, which gave the Buttigian royal family "Lampard is difficult to capture. The illusion of "reduced the strength of those nobles who had been very cryptic about the lord" in the territory, and finally gained the elite long bow troops and a group of infantry cavalry under Hegel-more importantly, the war has just ended , The first batch of refined iron arrows mined and processed from Fording has been manufactured and shipped here.
According to the original plan, Ashcandy will start to lay down in the surrounding areas, but she changed her plan after seeing the information Ilindal received from the creed--
The Holy Gabriel empire suddenly assembled troops, and had reached the border of Fortin, seeing the posture to prepare to fight with Bali for the war against Bali.
Ashkandi narrowed his eyes, and after the news spread to Balice, he even let the Balice lord and the royal family who planned to attack Foding next year collectively be ignorant-did the pope take the wrong medicine?
The cost of fighting a war is definitely not as simple as pulling out the army to do one. Where does the military cost come from? Where did the soldiers enlist? Where do the weapons come from? Where does the grain go?
All the consumption will eventually be evenly distributed to the heads of the civilians of the empire. If a battle does not gain enough benefits, then the consequence is that the national economy and military strength will step back. If the sacred Gabriel attacks Byzantine, maybe There are still some interests to speak of, but the expedition went to Forddin all the way and then joined forces to pressure Balice. This kind of behavior is said to help Forddin's army to be a cannon fodder.
Looking at the annotations on the map, Ashcandi in the open-air tower has always maintained a state of contemplation-no matter what means is used to pave the way for her own purposes, this is her strategic style, but the Royal Buttigia still thinks Hegel controlled most of East Balice, but who could have imagined that the real master of the vast territory was at the moment wondering how to let Verdine and Gabriel's troops rush directly to West Balice?
Under her calm appearance, she has a crazy heart.
Ashkandi settled down. After a few days of energy consumption, she seemed to be a little sleepy. She looked away. She standing on the tower easily saw the lonely figure on the hillside in the distance.
......
Morpheus gently placed a bunch of flowers on Jeanna’s tombstone and immediately cleaned the surrounding weeds.
It’s bright under the sun.
Savras scepter is held in his hand, and he taps the ground like a wooden stick he normally uses. When he turns and leaves, he can't help but think about a question-how can he achieve true peace of mind?
Time takes away the things around her, so that Na will never come back, Sphinx is nowhere to be found, the same is true for Hydera, and then go back... Hiddink, Corvin, Boozer Are a roommate on the battlefield?
Where is Jeanne now? Is the old man Aquinas still in that small room?
Are Chris still in school?
What is Duke Azshara busy with?
What about my father? What about Prince Hades?
After leaving Hook County for more than a year, Morpheus has seen the beauty of the world, while leaving Byzantine, Morpheus has seen the cruelty of the world, from heir to night watchman, until now he is directly facing the one who had been on the Tarot card "Fool", the goal of life seems to quietly change the taste.
He turned his head and looked back at the iconic tower that was a thousand kilometers apart-why did Ashkendi Black Eye fight against Prince William at all costs? Her ambitions are much greater than Morpheus's expectations of the night watchman, but at present, Morpheus has no intention of forcibly preventing it, because the coincidence of yin and yang coincides with a relatively solid institutional framework.
It’s not a bad thing to disengage yourself from the center of power. Morpheus found that he didn’t need to think too much about it, because everyone had to worry about it, and now, he had to face another war.
How to deal with the joint attack of Gabriel and Fording?
The Morpheus who walked back to West Sellin step by step narrowed his eyes. Not far away, a team of red knights was crossing the street to Earl’s Court. The sound of horseshoes and the exclamation of pedestrians evading are all explaining this team. The momentum is fierce.
Crossed scepter, lion roar, this emblem... The envoys representing the royal family of Buttigia finally appeared.
"What kind of tasks will there be?"
Sibalice, the imperial capital of Buttigia.
The sawing of the Balice Empire continues. In the long run, the means of letting the lords fight against each other and the royal family not watching is not superfluous for the entire country. Its only and most important point lies in the empire. Contradictions intensified, leaving civilians, nobles and lords free to take care of other things.
Especially to take care of the monarch who was guarding Sibalice and the royal family behind him.
Imperial belief conflicts are no longer as obvious as they were a few decades ago. Several large-scale repressions have caused irreparable trauma. Today, Balice has learned to pursue "seeking common ground while reserving differences" within a certain range. basic concept.
Credit?
Perhaps the civilians living in Buttigia and Sibalice would think that this is the wise guidance of His Majesty His Great Emperor.
But in fact, the nobles and nobles of the entire emperor who sat down, unanimously gave this "credit" to the guy who always stood not far from the emperor, Heto Valaine.
Short waiter?
As a recent politician who walked with the emperor, Heto's identity has always made the upper aristocrats of Buttigia whisper.
Because of his title, he is just a baron.
This is the lowest knight among the people next to the emperor, and his knight is not hereditary, but the king personally granted it. That is to say, this old man over sixty years old, once Is a civilian.
The hard work of several generations can cultivate an excellent nobleman, and Heto was awarded the baron at the age of 45. His civilian temperament is still criticized by the upper class nobility. He never participated in the reception. We are not interested in hunting, female sex, wealth, collectibles, etc., and there is no contamination at all.
There were once no less than ten great nobles who invited him to a large reception, but they were rejected at all times. Later, he got a nickname "Shadow Herto" because he seemed to be accompanied by the supremacy of Balice every time. The monarch appeared together, and it was difficult to trace its traces on other occasions.
In the eyes of the nobles and ministers, the emperor Hasselblad Mokleti does not seem to be a wise monarch.
He is always a faceless look, unsmiling, and most of the time is silent, and it seems that an emperor should have said everything by the "shadow" beside him, every time The aristocracy attended the Parliament, and His Majesty Hasselblad sat there, generally speaking no more than three sentences from beginning to end, but even so, the current national strength of Balice is steadily increasing.
The most notable achievement of this monarch is that when the lords’ attention was focused on infighting, Sibalice took a leading position in the maritime career as a coastal territory-just Half a year ago, the sailing fleet had returned and brought exciting news: the resources of the new continent have been opened up for Barrich!
However, this exciting news was exclusively blocked by the royal family. After the Royal Navy returned to the sea, all personnel were blocked from contacting family or friends, and they once again embarked on the expedition.
The news announced to the outside world was that the fleet had never found anything before sailing.
The Mist Bombs are just Mist Bombs. The box of gold transported from the ship after the voyage fleet returns will never be concealed for too long, but the lords who are tired of the civil war don’t seem to care what the royal fleet can bring to the country.
They haven't even realized how many resources the "New World" has.
At the moment, in the core palace area of the Royal City of Buttigia, as in the past, the owner of this country walked out of the palace in a red robe-His Majesty Hasselblad, 52, has a pair of eagles His brown eyes, gray hair were traced by the heavy crown, and his figure was not tall. The magic steel dagger at the waist proved his another terrifying identity Knights of the Round Table.
This majesty who has always been serious and unusual in front of the nobles has been a member of the mainland’s "Knights of the Round Table Council" from the day he took the throne. The powerful strength brought him the same powerful voice and inherited the throne. Before, nine brothers and sisters were the only ones who had been fighting on the border of Balice for more than 14 years. During royal fighting, he reached the top with unshakable brilliance and merit. After being crowned king, he did not treat his own. The brothers and sisters raised the butcher's knife, but the children of these royal members began to marry Isengel in the east and the Akra Empire, which was across the sea and established an alliance 13 years ago, although it seems that they have recently married The four or five princesses only brought some dowry dowries, but for a long-term empire, this is the first step towards its prosperity.
The marble promenade has countless green plants hanging down. His Majesty Hasselblad walked out of the palace and stood in the shadow of the vines for a long time. The sunlight in the late autumn was blocked by the still green leaves, and his face was slightly older. The fingers wearing the ring of the emblem of the male insignia symbolizing the king's power had not touched the leaves, and there was a greeting not far away that he could not be familiar with.
"Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with Hegel."
Hetto, who exists as a "shadow", always talks about things. There is no restraint in the face of His Majesty Hasselblad, and his tone is always serious and rigid, and there is no half nonsense.
"The time it takes to take Sicillin is too short, you and I understand what it means," His Majesty Hasselblad's eyes are not only sharp, but they are a bit stiff, and they don't seem to have much spiritual touch. When he faced Heto, he was not as unpleasant as he was rumored-in fact, almost no one knew that the policy of making the big country divided into two parts, and at the same time letting the lord's power weaken during the change, was almost his first hand. It was not planned by the upper nobles of Buttigia as Heto did, and now Hegel was raised by him and swallowed up most of the scattered territory, which was also planned by His Majesty, "The loss of the Glass family is mine No amount of power can make up for it, and since he has decided, I will not block it."
"The man behind him is not simple."
Hetto and His Majesty are two meters away, and there is no third person within 30 meters of the surroundings, so there is no excuse for the conversation.
"An old monster from history? I just learned that Varian of the Creed has already begun to take action. Since the face is torn, then there is no need to worry about too much."
The intelligence organization owned by His Majesty Hasselblad is not similar to the "Eagle Eye" led by the Duke Azshara of Byzantine, but it is a genuine part of the "creed", which is what Varian called "rotten" creed, that is overgrown The mold spots refer to the members of this creed who work for the royal family for their benefit.
The ancient members of the "creed" have been known as "never violate their own creed" from the moment they became famous on the mainland, and all of them are called dead, but today there seems to be no more bounty hunters and hirers who use money to kill people. Where the army is going is a shame for the leader Varian.
As for why the members of the creed would betray and work for the royal family of Balice, it seems that the reason is not simply a matter of interests, otherwise Varian will not find clues from Hegel-to be honest Energy said that they decided to make the mutiny members disappear today, they will never see the sun of tomorrow, but when the matter of the scepter is involved, everything becomes complicated and abnormal.
"At present, the intelligence system can last for a while, but it really annoys Consanas, I am afraid the price is not small."
"Our revenue has exceeded the maximum price we can pay, so we should continue to do it."
Resolutely, His Majesty Hasselblad said: "Gabrielle and Fording are a problem that cannot be ignored. If they are willing to fight in the winter, we will treat ourselves preferentially, but first send the envoy to delay the time and give it. The group of lords have some hard work."
"Fleet thing?"
"You decide for yourself and hope that they will return on time without being swallowed by the anger of the sea."
In a few words, the strategic tone of the Balice Empire seems to have been set. The monarch who will firmly hold his hand in his hands does not have any terrifying atmosphere, except for the status of the dagger. ~IndoMTL.com~ Shan looks like a slightly late old man.
As a shadow, Heto bent over to salute and turned away, while passing by him was a 13-year-old girl led by a housekeeper.
Princess Brunei raised her head curiously and watched the expressionless Heto walk past her. Although the old man saluted, there was no more than half a word. She shook off the housekeeper and jumped a few steps. When he came to his father, that is, in front of His Majesty Hasselblad, he asked softly, "Father, why did that grandpa always come to you?"
"Some things to discuss, but is my baby girl going to watch safari today?"
"You said that the meat of prey is always the fattest in autumn."
"Of course, for the coming of severe winter, animals always have to eat more, otherwise they will die of icy cold and food shortage even if they will not die from safari."
Your Majesty Hasu said to her beloved daughter with a smile, the face that was always cold and indifferent to his subjects was full of warmth and spoiling, but his eyes turned to the east.
How do the guys there spend the winter?
