It was the same morning. When the first ray of morning light fell on the Palace of Dawn Fortress in the capital of Olisga, the court hall was already full of people. Everyone who can enter this hall is a big man. On the majestic throne, sitting in it is naturally the newly succeeded empire, Julian. After going through all kinds of incidents, the face of the former second prince has lost a bit of childishness, and has more than three points of perseverance honed out, as well as the majesty of being a superior. It's just that the figure is still a bit thin, and it's not like the previous emperor Tangliou's combination of the king's majesty and domineering seamlessly. Obviously, the new empire needs more training.
On the left side of the throne, stands an old man in armor. With a red feather golden fury beast helmet in his hand, his hair was frosty white, and his face was wrinkled like tree bark, but no one in the temple dared to look down upon this old man, because he was the imperial marshal Rodk. There was an invasion by the Principality of Shadow before, and two princes fought north and south. In these two wars, Rodke was also a lot of effort. The whole person was a few years old, the most obvious was his frosty hair, which was already white and shiny.
The opposite of Rodke is the former Prime Minister Nebot standing on the right side of the throne. This old man who had experienced the turmoil in the royal capital and once lost his position as prime minister is now back to the throne of prime minister. Nebot's complexion looks much better than Rodek's, his face is ruddy, full of energy, and his complexion is three points better than before, and he looks a lot younger. Indeed, as the powerful arm of the first emperor, and the teacher of the new emperor, he also experienced the most turbulent period together. Today, in the ruling and opposition parties, Nebot is the person most trusted by Julian, and he is naturally the well-deserved big red man of the empire at this time.
Under the marshal and the prime minister, there are the commanders of the various legions and the important ministers in the court. For example, Woodrick, the leader of the dragon army, has fought for thousands of miles with Julian, and now has a prosperous reputation, living only behind Rodek. As for Arkham, the Captain of the Bear Armour, who pushed out Julian's conscription, he couldn't see him at all. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that even though Arkham stayed in Mosel as his legion commander, Julian would only mention what he had dodged that day. But in the heart of this new emperor, Arkham is already a person who needs to be replaced at any time. It's just that he has great prestige in the Bear Armour and cannot easily move him. But sooner or later, he will be kicked out of the Bear Armour, but it is a certainty.
The atmosphere under the hall was suppressed, and the officials couldn't help but relax by three points. Julian swept over the people below and said in a slightly low voice: "Presumably you already know that, just last night, many coastal port cities in our country were suddenly attacked. Overnight, seven cities have fallen. Nowadays. Only the three and four cities, including Ark Harbor, are still struggling. As for the specific situation, Marshal Rodke will add."
Roderk coughed lightly, and stepped forward: "According to the information we have obtained, this time the invasion of our country is an enemy from the East. Many people should be familiar with the name Panlong Empire, yes. , It is the overlord on the land east of the ocean. The Panlong Empire has a longer history than ours. It is a powerful and profound country. Regardless of the number of troops or powerful, it is only more than ours. Quite a lot. I believe that it is only their strikers who are attacking Zhucheng now, and their main force should still be at sea. It is worth mentioning that before their invasion, our naval forces did not have any feedback at all. And after the invasion, I have lost contact with the navy. In this way, our maritime fleet may have been wiped out!"
Hearing this news from Rodek's mouth, except for a few people, all the others changed. Although the imperial navy can't talk about how strong it is, it still has an organization of tens of thousands of people. The navy stationed on the sea islands of St. Trina for many years at least has more than 10,000 people, and so many people have not even sent any news back. So as long as you have a little brain, you can roughly estimate how many people there will be the main enemy.
"In addition to being a transportation hub between north and south, the port city is also an important gateway to the inland. Today, seven seaport cities have fallen into the hands of the adversary. If there is no accident, the enemy will pass through these cities as a springboard. It began to spread to our inland. If you can’t stop it in time and retake the occupied city at this time. Then it won’t be long before you can see the battle flags depicting the Tamron pattern in Olísca."
"We also have a lot of business dealings with the Panlong Empire, Marshal Rodke, do you see if there is a possibility of negotiation." A minister asked.
Rodke said blankly: "Of course there is a possibility of negotiation, but that will have to be after we show a evenly matched situation, given that losses and gains are disproportionate, the enemy will sit on the negotiating table. Now the other party The coming is menacing, I don’t think there will be negotiation in a short time."
"The lion will not negotiate with rabbits, not to mention that there is a dragon from the east over the sea. If we can't even talk about a lion, do you think the dragon will negotiate with us?" Nebot also Said: "So the top priority is that you should put aside those unrealistic ideas. What we have to do next is to hit the head and we must tell the invaders that we are not rabbits, but tigers, lions, and even not related to them. Dragons up and down!"
Rodke glanced at this old opponent who had disagreed for many years, and said: "It is rare that this time I have the same opinion as the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is right to say that we must not only meet, but also be tough enough. Only. In this way, the enemy will consider sitting down and talking instead of meeting each other. Of course, the final decision depends on your Majesty."
At the moment, everyone is looking at the young emperor on the throne.
Julian stood up and said: "Originally, after experiencing so many disasters, as the lord of a country, I should return the people to a peaceful age of recuperation. But now the enemy from the East has ignited the flames of war. Retreat, I am afraid it will bring greater disaster to the people. So here, I agree with the views of the Marshal and the Prime Minister. Here I declare that our Balkan Empire will fight back with all our strength. Don’t forget that our ancestors were built in suffering and flames. Starting this empire. Don’t forget, the longing for freedom is flowing in our blood. My life will die, my blood is still hot!"
There was a silence in the hall, and everyone screamed: "My blood is still hot!"
This sentence is what the first emperor of the past roared out in the face of desperation. For many years, it has inspired the soldiers of the empire to move forward so as to create a country under the threat of the shadow duchy. Now Julian uses it to inspire everyone, and now everyone is bloody, all with red eyes, wanting to rush to the battlefield immediately.
Of course this is impossible.
Next, Rodek announced the details of the counterattack plan, including the decision to transfer the Ursa Army stationed in Mosel to the nearby city of Tiger Shark Harbor. Tiger Shark Harbor has fallen, and there are a lot of enemy troops there, and it really needs an elite division like the Bear Armour to fight. What's more, in the previous prince battle, the Armoured Bears can be said to be unscathed, so no matter from which point of view, there is nothing wrong with sending Armoured Bears to Tiger Shark Harbor. It's just that everyone in the temple vaguely felt that it was a sign that Julian had taken Arkham's knife.
The entire counterattack plan will be in action at the same time, requiring hundreds of thousands of troops to be mobilized, and the combat scope encompasses the entire coastline of the empire.
Such wars that fought simultaneously on the North and South fronts seldom occurred in the history of the past, but in the past two years, the Balkan Empire has seen the third such large-scale operation. After this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, it is an indisputable fact that the empire's vitality is severely injured. It's just that the crisis is right in front of us, and this battle can't help the empire not fight.
Just as the empire was mobilized from north to south, a group of people was walking in a forest leading to Bauhinia Ridge. This team was exactly the Father Miró and others who evacuated from Ark Harbor last night. They ran around all night. At this time, the energetic crusaders were also faintly tired, so the team did not go fast and they were looking for an open woodland. Stop to rest at the moment.
Miro and Vera also got out of the carriage, and the priest stretched his waist and murmured: "The war was finally over. It's fighting again, and it won't make people live a good life."
A knight brought water and bread, and said with a smile: "Stop complaining, Father. I think this must be a test given by God, and I believe everyone will survive it."
For this knight with a firm belief, Milo smacked his lips and finally swallowed the shocking words back into his stomach. He took the food, walked under an old tree, and sat on the thick root of the tree to eat bread.
Vera floated up like a black cloud and sat next to the priest. Milo drank, swallowed the bread and asked, "I said, can you see the outcome of this war?"
Vera tore off a small piece of bread with her hands and threw it into her mouth, whispering: "I often don't see the future that involves too many people. Even if I can see it, it's probably just one of many possibilities in the future. That’s all. We are all just human beings. Don’t stick to God for a long time and think that we are really gods."
A certain slobber choked, and said grimly: "I don't want everyone to live a good life."
Just as Vera was about to say something, the girl's eyes suddenly became empty and blank. Milo jumped up immediately: "What's wrong, what do you see?"
"Someone is coming towards us, there are still a lot of people. I have seen armor that I have never seen before. Well, this is the sign of the dragon." Vera's eyes brightened: "It's an enemy from the East!"
Hearing Vera's words, a knight captain in charge of the team's completeness immediately shouted: "Pull the sword, be on guard!"
At the end of the speech, the sound of feather arrows pierced through the air sounded in the forest. A crusader infantry was still holding bread in his hand, and a feather arrow was nailed into his neck. While the tail end was still shaking, the bread in the soldier's hand fell to the ground, and the blood dripping from his body stained the bread red.
One by one, the warriors dressed in dark red soft armor and half masks on their faces jumped out from the tree canopy and behind the rocks. Or draw a bow and shoot, or raise a sword to meet each other. Regardless of whether it is an archer or a swordsman, their chests have a Tamron pattern on the soft armor!
