Power and Empire Chapter 3437: Late Summer Rose (5)

Just as the fat man was looking at the panoramic view of Fort Locke in the distance, Fort Locke was nervous. More than one hundred thousand troops of the Empire entered the Kingdom of Ruela grandiosely, and it was led by two famous military generals in the Empire. From the east and west sides, One-eyed Saron and Varithian set up a battle array that the kingdom of Biang will start strangling with all strength,

As a borderline with the Kingdom of Rila, Fort Locke feels that he has been crushed by the sword of the empire on his neck

In the conference room of the Medici house in Lockburgh, the heads of the various forces in Lockburg and Prentas, the Patriarch of the Medici house, were there, and two days ago, an imperial cavalry of 2,000 men stood there. Drove into the border of Fort Locke, and the carriage guarded by it turned out to be a royal carriage from the Royal Family. It came all the way and there was no hidden meaning at all.

What does this mean? It means that the Royal Family of Rila has openly stood with the Empire

I don’t know how this matter is known to other kingdoms, but for Locke, it is definitely a bolt from the blue. Locke and the Kingdom of Rila have been in alliance for more than a hundred years. The Kingdom of Rila gives the land of Locke, and Locke Fort assumes the role of the Rila Kingdom’s outlet to the sea. This interdependent relationship results in Rock Fort being undefended on the side of the Rilla Kingdom. If the Rilla Kingdom is already on the side of the empire, then Rock Fort is in a state of isolation and helplessness. Even the imperial army can easily enter Locke from the front line of Rila. Under the powerful attack of the imperial army, the destruction of Locke is just a matter of convenience.

So only two thousand imperial cavalry entered, but if it is not handled properly, it will be the entry of twenty thousand or even more than one hundred thousand imperial troops. The war is about to start. The Medici family is the management family of Rockberg, but this kind of life and death At this moment, the Medici family can’t carry it alone, so Prentas brought all the heads of the forces in Locke for a meeting, but the effect was not great. Each of these forces in Locke has one. Xiao Jiujiu, all want to fish in this turbulent water that may erupt, and the Medici wants to unite them to fight the empire, which is a huge deviation in itself

Various low voices are also graciously resounding in the hall

"What if the Empire wants to capture Fort Locke?"

"Impossible. The imperial army should not be aiming at attacking Fort Locke. Otherwise, there are only two thousand cavalry too few. We in Fort Locke have 30,000 troops."

"Hehe, don’t mention the 30,000 army, don’t forget, not long ago, we were just forced to surrender by an imperial chamber of commerce. Our 30,000 army is just a display, even though the opponent is only 2,000 cavalry, but you Really confirm that we dare to go to war? Don’t forget, the Imperial Navy is staying on our seas! Under the Imperial Navy’s Thor, we have thirty thousand troops or three soldiers, what’s the difference!"

"It's all troubles caused by the Bion people. It is only natural to owe the debts and pay the money. Just give the money obediently, and burn so many people to death. How can it end now!"

"It seems that it is impossible to have any results"

Prentas sighed with a gloomy face, and walked alone to the gorgeously decorated stained glass window in the conference hall. This tall stained glass window is three meters high and has a round arch shape that can be seen through the glass. The whole picture of Fort Lock below, this city has been devoted to the efforts of generations of Medici, and it was only a dilapidated and old prison at the beginning. It is the tireless efforts and dedication of generations of Medici, and it has gradually developed. Now the prosperous city has its immediate scale. It stretches for more than ten miles from the urban area to the port area to the villages outside. There are layers of neighboring houses, criss-cross streets, and the bright red clusters outside the city. Mountains, the rolling hills like bright red waves, can't grow a grain, but there are countless precious minerals buried under this grassless soil,

"Clang clang"

The reverberating sound of a big clock came from a distance, and children after school ran happily on the street

I was called a long-sleeved good dance outside. In fact, what is the difference between bearing the humiliation, giving money, weapons, and supplies to others, I still don’t have a good face, what I want to maintain is not this piece of war. The Taoyuan land in the middle, I accept talents, artists, writers, and painters from all over the world. As long as they are talented, they will give their own support. Only then can I have this city of culture and art in front of me, and these beautiful things , It is very likely that it will soon become a ruin in the flames of war. . . . . . . Prentas squeezed his fingers tight, and his heart was dripping blood

There are rumors that this time, the imperial emperor will visit Central Europe in person to direct the war. Even the imperial steppe legion, which killed 200,000 Hungarians in one breath, will be transferred again

The imperial cavalry rolled up the cloud of war, and it has enveloped the entire Central Obaro, just as the pouring rain in this rainy season has pressed the entire Central Obaro to have a feeling of suffocation, although it is also for the people of Bion. There is more or less the sadness of lips and teeth, but the empire's blade is already on the neck, what else can I do?

It's not that I didn't have confidence in the Biang people. It's that the imperial emperor's murder was too great. No matter how powerful the Biang people were, could it be better than defeating the Istan Empire, such as the Feshan Kingdom, which was rising from the sun? Not to mention, the generals of big countries such as the Feshan Kingdom and the Kingdom of Istan have all experienced the blood test of the great wars. They are all extremely dazzling golden generations, but even so, they are still covered by the imperial emperor. At that time, it was the ashes. The generation of hero Thoradin did not know the life or death of the old King Feshan, known for his wisdom, and was directly decapitated by the imperial emperor on the Batali Heights. 300,000 elite troops, 700,000 southern coalition forces, and more It was the blood that was slain, and it has not recovered for several years.

Although the people of Biang have the style of martial arts, they have not seen the old system of blood for more than ten years. The swords have been rusted. Neither the soldiers nor the generals have undergone actual combat training. The Feshan Kingdom and the Istan Empire were far inferior at the time, not to mention the empire's iron cavalry that crossed the world!

At this moment, a Medici attendant walked into the conference hall hurriedly, and after finding Prentas, he walked over and whispered, "My lord, I just received a report from the city guard, the Empire The cavalry has entered the city"

"So fast?" Prentas' face changed, and he asked in a condensed voice, "It seems that the other party did not come with malicious intent, otherwise they will not enter the city. Has the other party explained their intentions?"

The attendant hesitated and shook his head. "It didn't explain why he came, but Lord Putt, the city guard, went personally, and saw that there were a man and two women getting off the carriage. Lord Putt didn't know who the man was, but the woman It seems that it was His Royal Highness Samari and Vissi, and the other two lived in the private residence of the two Royal Highnesses in Fort Locke. Master Put suspected that this time the imperial cavalry should only be guarding the two Royal Highnesses who came to Fort Locke. It was our own too. Too nervous"

"It's Samari and Visey, is it really that I'm too nervous"

Prentas looked at him with a stunned look. Samari and Vissi are strictly his nieces, half of the Medici bloodline. Although they are Princess Rila, they are related to the Medici family. Significant, it can be said that it will be the link between the Medici family and the royal family of Rila in the future

When I heard that they were two women, Prentas remembered that in June of each year, the two women have always come to the Medici home to escape the summer heat. The Kingdom of Rila is hot, and Fort Locke should be affected by the ocean monsoon all year round. I dare not say that the four seasons are like spring, but the temperature will not deviate greatly. In addition, this is the cultural and artistic center of Central Europe.

There are a large number of artists, writers, poets, and painters gathered here. The beautiful seascape is even more fascinating. Both the humanities and the scenery are first-class,

Not only the two girls came to vacation, but there are also many dignitaries from other countries rushing to it, just because the situation is so tense during this time that they have forgotten this, and Samari and Visie As a member of half of the Medici family, she is also the princess of the Kingdom of Rila, so she also owns her own private house in Fort Rock

"It seems that it was just a misunderstanding, okay, let's go back!" Prentas said with a smile, explaining the situation to the leaders of the various forces, but also concealed that the two Highnesses were with a man. The ride in the same car was just a misunderstanding, and everyone’s expressions relaxed.

"It turns out that the two princesses came down, and our Rock Castle is going to be lively again. Every year, I don’t know how many people rush to the two halls! "Someone laughed

"Who said no, think about the incident last year, it really deserves to be His Royal Highness. "The tension has completely disappeared. The attention of everyone in the hall has been attracted to the discussion, so there is no People noticed Prentas’s cold eyes. Although they don’t know who the man is, thinking about the fact that King Owit of Rila was willing to stuff both daughters in, it shows that this man’s identity is not simple. It's probably an emissary sent by the empire. How can this kind of thing be made public! I am not the shameless Owitt. He also declared to remain neutral. In a blink of an eye he stands on the side of the Empire with a clear-cut stand

Getting down from the carriage, the fat man looked at this so-called "private house" of the Royal family of Rila, and he was also judging how much the Royal family of Rila was in the heart of the Medici family. The private house in front of him is not very big, but it is It is located at the port of Fort Locke, and the coat of arms outside the gate of the private house is the coat of arms of the Royal Family of Rila. This shows that the Medici family wants everyone to know about the relationship between the Medici family and the Royal Family of Rila. Close, it’s not difficult to understand. As a small force, if there is not a strong force as a backing and barrier, then I am afraid that it would have been annexed many times long ago, and the Rila people are undoubtedly very suitable candidates, not only The two countries are adjacent to each other, and each can take what they need. Moreover, because the Ruiras are a famous and proud race, they have always regarded themselves as the saviors of Central Europe. They are trustworthy at least in terms of moral reputation. As long as the two sides reach an agreement, they will not Will do something to annex Rockberg

The fat man stepped on the steps in front of him, but he felt the fragrant wind blow his face, his arms warmed, a white and tender hand passed through his hand, but Samari, a long-haired shawl next to him, took the initiative to leaned in and held him on the side. With his arm, he whispered, "Someone is staring. If you don't want the news of the imperial emperor to visit Rockberg in person, it will spread throughout Central Europe tomorrow, take my hand and go up together,"

"The other person knows you?" The fat man's eyes flashed sharply. On the street not far away, there was indeed a thin middle-aged man staring here. Judging from the other person's look, it should be Meet the two women Samari and Weixi

"It is the city guard of Fort Locke. I have seen it several times before." Samari’s white cheeks suddenly turned red, and she whispered, just like that, the fat man was almost pulled up the steps by Samari’s, but the fat man noticed So, even though she has already walked into the door of the private house, Samari did not mean to let go,

Until the door closed heavily, the pointed toe of the high-heeled shoes next to Weixi kicked off a small stone on the ground impatiently, and two fan-like long and dense eyelashes covered the pair of bright eyes. Smart eyes, white nose fluttering slightly, making a dissatisfied voice with a small mouth, "You are enough, right now, no one has looked at it, you can let go of your hand!"

The fat man felt that smooth and delicate hand retracted from his arm

"I'm sorry, I was rude just now." Samariy's voice trembled slightly, and her pretty face was cramped and apologized.

"It's nothing, I should be the one who thanked you." The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth. He also noticed that someone was paying attention here just now, but he didn't care too much. Hearing the fat man's thanks, Samari couldn't hide her face. The color of joy, even the pace of turning around and leaving seemed a lot lighter.

Wait until the two women leave~IndoMTL.com~The fat man’s eyes swept across the current room, the snow-white soft bed, dark red silk pillows, hand-woven red carpet, carved sofa and dressing table, and silver decorations hanging from the headboard, In the vase on the window sill, there is a bunch of purple roses swaying slightly in the sea breeze.

From the window, you can see the densely packed Locke Fort harbor with numerous white sails like forests. In the sky, white seabirds rise and fall on the towering masts.

Since ten days ago, the imperial army began to move into the Rilla, because all other ports on the coast of Central Europe and Baro were closed by the imperial navy, the fleet of ships docking at Rockberg increased sharply, and in order to deal with the Bion’s In the war, the imperial naval warships also entered the waters of Central Europe and Baro. Under all these seemingly reasonable circumstances, how many people know that this is the killer of the empire

"Tomorrow, the Medici’s house should come to visit! Once this link is opened, the empire’s army in Rila will turn to Locke. The goal of the empire has never changed, just like the people of Biang dared to challenge the empire. The trump card is the attack of the 500,000 Martin Liya people in the south against the empire. The empire needs to solve the enemy most. The same is the 500,000 Martin Liya army, the Kingdom of Bion, and the Xiting army with Dovey Yan, the main force of the empire. The goal has always been to go south!
