Power and Empire Chapter 2536: Blamed (16)

"This is the ultimatum given to us by the royal family. Give up two-thirds of the family territory. Each family will compensate the king for a loss of 300,000. A decision will be made within two days, otherwise it will attack! And this condition is only Limited to a few of our families, other small and medium-sized nobles will be confiscated from family territories, and all titles will be downgraded by one level"

In the main tent of the base camp of the Fei Ze Noble Army, Grand Duke Geng Di looked coldly and handed over the royal feedback he had just received to the next person, and his haggard eyes swept across the heads of the six Hokuriku nobles present. The seven families of Hokuriku, known as the Seven Duke of Fezer North, are also the highest core of ruling Hokuriku. All the seven patriarchs are here, and their faces are silent and haggard. They have long since disappeared from the Northland belt. When the army went south, the enthusiasm of the crossbows and bows was distracted, and the minds of the people were scattered, and the minds of the army were naturally dispersed. Although the heads of the seven families were all sitting here, they all played their own abacus

The man sitting at the head of Duke Gengdi was a strong man with a scorpion coat of arms printed on his armor. That was the coat of arms of the Lantron family among the seven families. The head of the family was the strong man in front of him, Lantron Lai, as the lord of the largest cotton-growing area in Northland, is most opposed to this royal agreement. After reading the report, he grumbled sullenly, "Forget about 300,000, and the seven families have to hand over three-thirds." In the second area, the other noble areas are all taken back. In that case, what is left of Hokuriku except for the areas directly under the jurisdiction of the seven major families?"

"Lantros's cotton field is the best, the Berrance's forest farm is the most valuable, and the Kalitu's iron ore farm is the most cost-effective..." A middle-aged man with thin cheeks present here was disdainful. He turned aside, smiled bitterly in his mouth and said, "I heard that the nobles of the royal capital have even come out the map for dividing Hokuriku, what do you expect them to give us?

"According to my opinion, this negotiation was a mistake from the beginning. Believe that the prince’s announcement. Everyone has read it. Ferretelli is over, but the border guards are still strong. You know, now Anxious to end this civil war. It is not us, but the royal family who drew out our troops. Now we are willing to take the initiative to evacuate the royal capital area. They have already made a lot of money, and they even dream of annexing our Hokuriku? As long as we persevere, It may not have changed!"

"That joking announcement, do you take it seriously?"

One of the leaders sneered at the corner of his mouth, "The border guards have only a little remaining strength. What if the banner of the prince is raised? The Wang Jun now has a total of 300,000, the disparity in strength is so great, the soldiers are strong, the morale is strong High, compared with that, what can you expect from a fluttering bulletin? The royal family is now in full swing, and a hundred thousand army is in front of us, and it may be crushed at any time. Not to mention that what is sent is only a proclamation, it is real gold and silver. Put it in front of you. You have to have that life to enjoy. It’s more convincing if you don’t have a knife on your neck!"

"But the royal family obviously wants us to die, do we have to crane our necks and wait for the chop?"

The man with thin cheeks suddenly got up from his seat. It was like being beaten with blood by a shot, and his face flushed angrily and said, "Let me say, we have tens of thousands of people, although we are a little bit less, but occupy the advantage of the terrain, the 100,000 kings want to eat it. It’s not that easy for us. Don’t you want to fight? Then fight, who is afraid of who! I’m the Dragoon Guardian of the family. I’ve never been afraid of anyone in a hundred years!"

"It's a big tone, you Kalitu's Dragoon Guard is strong. But the total number is not even 300 people. In such a battle. What use can it be?"

"Okay, now there is no point in arguing." Grand Duke Geng Di looked at the mess and patted the table heavily. The quarrel in the tent subsided. At this moment, an attendant walked outside. After entering, he whispered for a while in Grand Duke Geng Di’s ear, and Grand Duke Geng Di’s face suddenly changed

"Are you sure that the legendary Southern player Lytel is not dead?" Grand Duke Geng Di took a deep breath, still asking in disbelief

"It has been confirmed that it was indeed the legendary general, Lytel, who led his troops in the name of condemning the murdered soul to the royal family, and suddenly captured Azshara, which connects the capital to the west coast area. I heard that this What Leiter leads is an army that has always been composed of slaves!" The attendant said with a careful glance

"What's the situation?"

The other aristocratic leaders were shocked. As a legendary southern general, Lytel did not have many transfers with Hokuriku, but his name was not unfamiliar. It is understandable that he escaped the royal massacre of the southern vassals and brought slaves. The formed legion counterattacked the capital of Fezer, which is a play!

The 300 thousand Fei Ze king army, most of them are stranded in the royal capital area, and Lytel wants to counterattack the royal capital, this is simply seeking death by himself! Do a group of slaves still expect to be able to fight the king's army? "

"Interesting, haha, it's really interesting." Grand Duke Geng Di suddenly laughed, and under the confused eyes of everyone, said, "It's really immortal, our Hokuriku, no matter how long this Lighter can hold on, At least after such a disturbance, Wang Jun will not use force to directly deal with us for the time being. We really thank this legendary general!"

"Yes, Azshara is the important town of the royal family in the west, and also a barrier used by the royal family to prevent the empire from entering from the northwest. It is so easy to change ownership. I am afraid that the royal family is also anxious this time. Take care of us!" The leaders of the noble army are not fools, they immediately see the connection inside,

Another attendant opened the tent and came in with a proclamation in his hand

"What's the matter?" Grand Duke Geng Di closed his smile and looked at the attendant, his eyebrows frowned. He just got a good news, is he about to send a bad news right away? I don’t know why, Grand Duke Geng Di’s heartbeat hastened a bit with respect to the report in the hands of the attendant.

"Sent from the Falcon Empire," the attendant bent down and said with an ugly face,

"Falcon Empire?" Grand Duke Gengdi's eyebrows couldn't help but jump, Lighter counterattacked the capital from the west coast, everyone is not a fool, a guy who has escaped the massacre, I am afraid that he can run to the west coast It is also at the extreme of embarrassment. How can it be possible to immediately gather forces to fight back. A corps is not a playhouse. It is not only a recruitment of people, but also weapons and equipment. A lite, where does so much money come from? no doubt. The Falcon Empire on the west coast is the real master behind this counterattack against the capital. What do you want to do at this moment?

Received the report from the attendant. Grand Duke Geng Di looked at it carefully, with a look of bewilderment on his face

"My lord. What did it say?" Several aristocratic leaders looked at the report with red eyes, and they were even more anxious.

"It said that Lytle counterattacked the capital of Fezer. This is the opportunity for us to leave the capital of the capital." Grand Duke Geng Di took a deep breath, pressed the report in his hand on the table, and the Falcon Empire sent it What does this report mean?

"My lord is saying that the Falcon Empire allows us to take the opportunity to leave the land of the king's capital?" Several other noble leaders were also shocked.

"I think that's what I mean." Grand Duke Geng Di didn't know how to describe his feelings. The attraction of the royal army was attracted by Lytle. The noble army took the opportunity to break through. It can be justified. The problem is, the Falcon Empire Why do you want to help yourself like this? Duke Geng Di believes that there is no free lunch in this world. King Fazer is at best a conspirator, while the emperor of the Falcon Empire is recognized by the entire continent as the first person in strategic layout, every move. Is it such a simple thing? But don't take the opportunity to leave, wait until the Wang Jun defeats Lighter, crane his neck here and wait for the chop?

"Anyway. I think this is a way worth considering!" Someone said surely

"Yes, as long as you leave the prison of the royal capital, all problems can be solved"...

The drizzle shrouded the earth, the vast earth, in a lazy and intoxicating posture before Kurudia, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, Kurudia was responsible for oppressing the noble army The commander of this one hundred thousand king army, in the cold winter atmosphere, there was no fire in Kurudia's room. In a tightly closed room, only the candlestick on the wall illuminates the whole room. The room looked dull, and the adjutant opened the door cautiously. Seeing his main officer standing in front of the window, he coughed dryly and said, "My lord, the emergency report sent by the royal capital, the noble army may behave abnormally, and the royal government requires the army to prepare for battle!"

"Abnormal behavior?" Kurudia recovered from the window, opened the curtain, and the rain was flying outside. The raindrops hit the glass, like a contemplative charm. "This rain is going to fall. When will it be!" Kurudia's meaningful eyes narrowed slightly, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince has returned to the capital, is there any news to call me back?"

"Not for the time being. According to the instructions of the lord, I will personally guard it every day." The adjutant nodded and replied, his eyes flashed with a trace of complicated emotions. The history of the king's confidant as his chief official was from the scene ten years ago. In the battle for the throne, it is said that Kurudia, who was still a middle-ranking officer, also planned to assassinate the prince. Unfortunately, the prince escaped in the end, so there are rumors in the outside world that His Majesty has recruited Kurudia. Back to the royal capital, but the fact is that there is no such order from the royal capital, and Kurudia is still in the command position against the noble army,

"I hope there is nothing wrong, I don't know why, I always have an ominous premonition!"

Kurudia rubbed his swollen temples, and smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth. This tiredness is not only for the body, but also for the heart. The king's body is getting worse. The prince returned to the royal capital. It is said that it was the order of the king himself. , Otherwise, even if the prince wears thick and heavy cavalry armor all over his body, he will also be dismantled halfway along the way. As the king’s confidant, Kurudia knows that in that prince’s By his side, the king has inserted no fewer than two digits. As long as one order, the prince didn’t even know how he died. Since he returned to the capital so swaggeringly, how could he do it except for the acquiescence of his majesty. To!

The terrible news from the western border has also reached here. Azshara has fallen, causing the king's army to reorganize the south army, which is ready to go, and has to send a part of it to Azshara, although it is called Lighter’s troops. The slave army, but it was able to break through the important town Azshara where the three thousand kings were stationed in one fell swoop, it was no longer an ordinary slave rebellion. In fact, Fei Ze, who was heading towards Azshara, was directly under the Third Army and had not arrived yet. Azshara encountered Leiter’s slave army. The two sides fought a tragic confrontation. Fazer's third army was almost submerged, and the news that came back shocked the entire Fazer. The enemy There are a full seven to eighty thousand people, and they are well equipped. They are not a slave army at all, and are almost the same as the regular army

Undoubtedly, this was the handwriting of the Falcon Empire. After a brief panic, King Fazer sent two more legions to Azshara. Kurudia’s hunch was correct. In the afternoon, the adjutant hurried again. "My lord, urgent report, the Noble Army striker 10,000, drove out of the Blue Valley at noon today"

Blue Valley is a long way between the king's army and the noble army, and it is also the safe distance that the two sides chose at the same time during negotiations. If the king wants to attack, it must pass through the blue valley, and the noble army must pass through the blue valley if it wants to attack. , Both sides previously let go of this strategic channel, but now, the aristocratic army suddenly opened the Blue Valley, to some extent, it is already a precursor to the outbreak of war

"Asshole, what do these Northland nobles want to do?" Kurudia looked at the map hung on the wall, a curved arc toward the north, which was seen by the blue valley from the noble army marching Route, Kurudia didn't think that the noble army wanted to go to war with the king's army. The other side's direction of travel was more like fleeing. At this moment, it is not wise to fight the noble army!

"My lord, the latest order sent by the king", the adjutant's face changed this time, and the report in his hand turned into a frowning red

"What's the situation?" Kurudia received the report, his eyes swept, and his body trembled slightly. "Are you going to war?"

"Yes, the royal capital has confirmed that the noble army has colluded with the Falcon Empire." The adjutant's voice had an unquenchable tremor. "They are not running away, they are trying to attack us with the emperor, my lord, Can’t hesitate any longer"

"Prepare the troops and launch an attack immediately" Kurudia also felt the seriousness~IndoMTL.com~ His eyes swept to get the arc, indeed, it was simply a walnut clamp that flicked up and down, once the nobles waited When all the troops drove out of the Blue Valley, the situation became irreversible! ...

"Your Majesty, that report has been sent to the noble army, but the subordinates are worried that the Fazer spies lurking in Cavro will really send this report out?"

The cold wind blows, the commander of the Northwest Army Corps, Crolithat stepped down from the war horse, and saluted the emperor who was standing on the mound and looking at the wasteland ahead. This is from the city of Cavro on the west coast of Fei Zexi to Fei. The only way to King Ze’s capital, Amu Ailuo, is also the location of the Fifth Banner regiment closest to the capital of Fezer’s Northwest Army.

"You can rest assured about this. They admitted that they had bought the Empire Eyeliner last time, so when this report is delivered, another report will be sent from Cavro. Even if you have doubts, The abnormal behavior of the noble army will also make them ascertain that the information they have obtained is true!" The fat man smiled disapprovingly, turned around from the front, and the Fazer royal family would get another report, in that report. Here, the Fazer Noble Army does not want to take the opportunity to evacuate the royal capital, but to move in a northerly arc, posing a position of flanking the king's 100,000 main force with the Lytel army occupying Azshara, (to be continued.)
