Power and Empire Chapter 458: Who should I choose?
I sincerely thank i for casting 1 vote, Tulong 31 voted 1 vote. I thought the brothers had forgotten me, but I didn’t expect to get two votes. Baozi was very moved. Baozi will not be **** this time. Every day 5 thousand words
In early November, after receiving news that Statunko, who is in charge of the central region, had led the army to take over the critical Aberon area and Uludag County, the Vijaya army surrounding the pass began to withdraw slowly. Make way for the Swadian army that has been besieged in the mountains for nearly a month. Under the guidance of a Swadian negotiator wearing a silver armor, under the strict gaze of the Vijaya army on both sides nearby, ten The embarrassed Swadian army slowly emerged from the col in a very sad posture, bringing down the final curtain for this decisive battle in the north
"Unexpectedly, we can go back alive!" Marshal Berrante, who was walking in the front, stopped at a corner and looked back at the place where the fierce battle had been fighting for a month. The cold watery grassland was blowing at night. He flies in vain, and the cold air is flowing on the grassland like a river. The **** defense line that has been fought for many times has turned into a piece of scorched earth.
The burnt smell permeating the air and the shocking black earth make this old Swadian Marshal unforgettable all his life,
"After thirty years of fighting, I have never lost such a tragic defeat. After this battle, I don't know when will I be able to set foot on this land again"
Marshal Burrant looked at the edge of the vast grassland intently. The blue sky in the distance was like a beautiful canopy. The white snow and blue grass terraces set off this land like never wanting. The awakened dream is just like,
This is a vibrant land. Not only is there a lush meadow on which precious horses can grow, but also a land infested with the blood of tens of thousands of Swadian warriors. This is supposed to be the most dazzling pearl of the Swadian overlord. , Now it has become the mark that will always nail Swadian to the pillar of shame,
"Treading", there was a rush of horse hooves in the distance, a group of black armored cavalry from the horses crossed the hill in front, the flying horse hooves raised the grass seeds on the ground, the black metal armor was golden in the morning light Under the sun, there was a dazzling luster that was difficult to understand,
"After this battle, my Swadian ambitions have gone with the wind"
Marshal Burrant sighed with a sigh of emotion, and his eyes swept over the same desperate Swadian generals behind him. The old and dazed faces revealed the old and dazed faces of the elites in the army, like this on the enemy. Under the watchful eyes, soldiers fleeing like dogs are shameful anyway. This shame carved into the depths of their souls is enough to turn many ambitious soldiers into cowards with dying fighting spirit.
"Grand Duke, the last group of Swadian soldiers has left the valley. Our soldiers are cleaning the battlefield. The generals suggested that this hill can be changed into a falcon hill to commemorate me. The history of Vicia defeating the Swadians this time"
Hu Keqili opened the curtain of the tent and walked in from outside, patted the mud on his body with his hand, knelt down on one knee in front of the fat man, and reported with respect
"Follow them, you immediately send people to send orders to the troops along the route as quickly as possible, and pay close attention to the retreat route of the Swadians. As long as there is a deviation, ask them to cooperate with the 20,000 Kujit cavalry that follow. Quickly annihilate them all on the vast grassland""
The fat man nodded with satisfaction, and gave a signed military order to Hu Keqili
"Send this order to the south, and hand it to Governor Statunko to order his Southern Army to be stationed in the central area of the 1415th Light Infantry Regiment to move south quickly, and to cooperate with the Southern Fleet’s actions to tell him that this battle It’s the top secret and must not be leaked under any circumstances"
"Yes, Grand Duke" Hu Keqili nodded in response, took the order and turned to leave
As the Vijaya army quietly moved into the Eberon and Uludag regions, the Big Six countries only appeared, Vijaya opened the gap and allowed nearly 100,000 Swadian Northern Army to follow The sideline returns home,
Although more than 20,000 people were lost due to hunger and cold on the road, the return of these troops caused the original defensive Kingdom of Swadian to quickly change from passive defense to active offensive.
The situation in the north, which had been in chaos, quickly stabilized. Swadian, who had experienced a fiasco in the western grasslands, desperately needed an exciting victory. The sharp Swadian spear pointed at those who were abandoners in this chaos.
Without a single battle, Swadian, the big six powers, chose to compromise and retreat. The subsequent series of changes made the small countries in the north preparing to grab a handful of stunned eyes.
The passive Swadian Line of Defense in the North suddenly turned into a perilous trap. The city of Ichemore occupied by the East Court was also replaced by the Eagle Flag of the Kingdom of Vijay.
It’s only in the Big Six countries. I don’t know when, these guys who attempted to fish in troubled waters have become the objects of others' calculations. The main force is still in the western grasslands and entangled with the Swadians. They are already here. In the face of the huge sudden opportunity, I stood in the most advantageous position,
In the early morning, the Riwa car is full of mist, and the cool sea breeze blows the streets and alleys of Wocheze. In this howling winter, there is no feeling of coldness, at most it just feels a little bit cool.
The warm current of the sea and the humid air currents lingering in the south meet here, so that the car can still maintain a maverick appearance even in the cold winter. The unique yellow knot silver flowers in winter are full of Japanese cars. The empty square in the center of the city can be seen from a distance. Like a yellow carpet,
A faint mist shrouded the streets and alleys of Jiwa Cheze, rendering everything around it as if it were ink and wash. Looking through the fog, whether it is the street houses, the trees, flowers, and grasses, they all dimly seem to melt in front of the eyes. Because of the fog, the color of the sky looks a little bleak.
The fat man is walking on the long-lost street, the red fruits hanging on the evergreen trees beside the road, the ripe fragrance that is unique to late autumn, and the breath of cool water blowing from the Virgin River beside him, the bakery in the city has just baked The aroma of good bread wraps all of this in a beautiful hazy mist. It makes people feel relaxed and happy
In the faint morning mist, from time to time you can see a carriage full of goods speeding by. Merchants are always the best energizer in the city. The high-spinning wheels and full load of goods will bring the Dardaniel family to the reign. The aristocratic atmosphere formed has been blown away,
"Adult"
Several horses ran out in the morning mist in the distance. The southern governor Statunko got off his horse and limped and ran towards the fat man’s location.
"You are also the governor of the south, I am one of the three biggest powers of Vekia. How can I be so embarrassed?" The fat man looked at the dusty Statunko and laughed.
"My lord, I laughed." When the fat man laughed and said that he was one of the Big Three, Statunke looked embarrassed and quickly responded respectfully, "The subordinates have been following the instructions of the adults to prepare for the dispatch of Salander in the southern military port. We have already mobilized 48 warships capable of fighting across the sea, plus the Hulin and Dylans fleets, we have the ability to transport soldiers at one time, and our subordinates rushed non-stop on the news of the arrival of the adults. Unexpectedly, I still haven't caught up with the adults."
"Hehe, it's just a joke, you can't really" the fat man patted Statunko's shoulder with his right hand.
"You have always been prudent in your work, otherwise I will not give you our Samor base camp. No matter how many generals who can fight, without material support, they will not be able to win.
The fat man's voice paused, and his expression solemnly said, "I, Samor, can have today's achievements. Your Statunko's achievements accounted for at least half. Without you, you can stabilize the situation in the south and provide a steady flow for the army ahead. Transporting supplies and soldiers, I can’t perform the northern strategy with such confidence. If you hadn’t been able to coordinate the business alliance’s affairs well, the South would not be able to wake up from the war that year. Your role is no better. The difference between the commanders of the other corps can even be said to be more than the combination of them"
"Sir" Statunko's lips trembled, and his voice was a little excited. The fat man's words just hit the knot in his heart that he had always been in.
Although he is a veteran of Fatty’s side, his birth is only the son of a little-known tax collector, and he is also disabled. Although he is good at housekeeping, he is far from Caesarso in this chaotic era. Long and Salon’s ability to attack cities and land is even more important,
This is an absolute alien in the Samor army, which started with military exploits, but it was the fat man’s most relied on. He became the first official in control of half of the southern base camp, even the outstanding Caesar Sauron. I can only envy it,
This rare trust not only brings him great glory, but also brings him unlimited pressure, so that he always feels like walking on thin ice. Now being so praised by the fat man, how can I not get excited
"Let’s talk about business."
The fat man motioned to Statunko to sit down next to him. A dozen or so ordinary guards quickly dispersed, sealing all possible positions for hearing
"According to what I have learned from the merchants in Salander, the situation in Salander is very dangerous and delicate now," the fat man said with a weird face. "In addition to alien invasion, it seems that some conflicts between coastal lords and kings are involved. , Otherwise, one month before the alien invasion, the 30 sea-beast warships docked in the southern Votu military port would not mysteriously catch fire. As a result, they would lose two-thirds directly before they even went into battle, and would directly destroy the most important maritime defense line. "
"It is said that during the Battle of the Roland Valley last month, the most famous Mamluk cavalry in the Kingdom of Salander experienced passive combat that led to the breakthrough of the most important central defense line by aliens. Enemies appeared in the northern area of the rear," Statunko said in a deep voice
"What you said is not bad." The fat man nodded, looked at the white mist floating in the distance, and said in a condensed voice, "This is why I have been hesitant to decide whether to cross the sea immediately. If it's just a foreign race, it's okay. , But if the problem lies within the Kingdom of Sarand, our reckless intervention will inevitably lead to united opposition from the Lords of Sarand,
At that time, I want to lead the army to the 6th, I am afraid that the resistance will be great. If the rude people next to me also join in, then the situation in Salander will be extremely unfavorable to us"
"Ruders? Does the Grand Duke also suspect that this matter has anything to do with them?" Statunko stood up in horror, looked at the mysterious fat man and said, "According to our dispatch to Saskatchewan. Rand’s eyeliner reported that the aliens who invaded the Kingdom of Salander this time were riding on warships that were very similar to the sharp axe warships most preferred by the Ruders, and the combat style was sturdy and the weapons were mainly large shield and heavy axe infantry. It’s just a copy of the Ruode infantry. If the subordinates’ guess is good, this alien race should be the same as the Ruode people’s ancestors. They are all from a certain overseas country."
"Hehe, you may be right." Hearing Statunko's analysis, the fat man stood up, looked back from a distance, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"If I tell you that the sea area south of Salander is the entrance of our Ikadiva 6 to the other 6s, you will not be so surprised. This is also my determination to send troops to Salander. One of the important reasons for the kingdom is that if this sea route to the other big six can be opened up, then the commercial strength of our Waykiah will inevitably rise to a higher level and become a real business empire"
"What, Statunko's body was shaken, he stood up in shock, his eyes full of admiration towards the fat man
It’s no wonder that the alien races will regard Salander as the first target to attack. It turns out that there is an entrance to the sea that connects with other big six. Isn’t that the best golden route"
As the governor of Southern commerce and trade, Statunke deeply feels about the high benefits of ocean trade and the large price difference of the goods in it.
Region is the advantage, and distance is the price. Take the southern specialty rum as an example. You may only sell one silver coin in the south. As long as you go west along the sea route, you can transport it to the Dorok Mountain area at the eastern end of Big 6. The price of barrels of rum can be sold for a silver coin, and even when the supply is short, the price of a barrel of rum has been sold at a high price.
The doubling is staggering. Think about it if you can ship the goods of Extra 6 and then ship the goods from Ikadiva, the doubling is more than a hundred times
"You are right." The fat man nodded with a firm look. "We are going to take this opportunity to firmly control the mouth of the Salander side in the hands of our Vijaya Navy. Keqili’s 10,000 Central Army takes the lead, and Caesar Sauron’s 30,000 Northern Army serves as a backup. Your ship preparations may need to speed up."
"Yes, I have informed the headquarters of the business alliance in Zivadin. They have agreed to recruit merchant ships from various business associations to support us. Now these merchant ships are being urgently transformed into sea ships capable of navigating in the sea. I believe it will wait until Caesars When Sauron’s 30,000 Northern Army arrives, it should be enough to use "Statunko nodded quickly
"Well, you did a good job of this." The fat man nodded with satisfaction. As the master of the business alliance, he naturally understands the business alliance's powerful material mobilization ability, but he also understands its shortcomings. I told the people in the business alliance that whoever contributed the most in this matter, I will appoint him as the chief person in charge of the business alliance"
""Also, you can disclose the golden route to those guys in the business alliance at an appropriate time. They will be more motivated." The fat man paused before continuing.
"You send someone to say hello to the Hulins and arrange ten boats to Salander. I want to go to Salander myself. I know that they have a good relationship with Salander recently. We are the weapons of Vicia. , At least half of the money was shipped to Salander through them, but don’t forget who gave it"
"My lord is going to Salander, how can this be in case..." Statunko was taken aback by the fat man
"I have decided on this matter." The fat man waved his hand to stop Statunko’s persuasion and stared into the distance. "This time the dispatch of troops is very important to me. The Kingdom of Salander is different from other regions in the Big Six. Facing the sea in all directions, once the sea is cut off, no amount of strength will be used. It is difficult to tell the life and death of the tens of thousands of my Vekia army. It is not my style to send troops rashly. I must go there in person"
"This time I will bring a thousand cavalry guards with me. I believe that as long as there is no major problem, the self-protection ability is still there. What you have to do is to receive my order, in the shortest time Inside, transport the army across the strait"
Fatty discussed the details of the contact with Statunko, and rushed to the Wucheze where the Dylans family is located without stopping.
Looking at the hillside, the old gray and dilapidated castle was repainted and the dome above was also planted with the combined flag of Dylans and Samer. The fat man’s expression was a bit dazed, and the sight in front of him was aroused. The sight of Dylans, a ridiculous dance party, made this family, which was originally an enemy, become Samor’s strongest ally
Since the Dylans family belonged to Fatty, the originally closed situation has also been broken by the prosperous commerce. With the spring breeze of ocean commerce with Salander, the business atmosphere of the Dylans family territory has become more and more intense.
Not only established a business fleet of its own, but also developed a golden route along the coastline to the eastern end of the Great Six Mountains, establishing a strong connection with the Dorok tribe there.
In April of this year, Fatty handed over the territory of Tyre that had just been regained to Dylans for military defense, so that its military strength could be fully increased. With Fatty’s permission, it has already gone from the original 5,000 standing army. , Expanded to 15,000 people, and became a pivotal force in the South, unlike the previous one
The car at the moment is the most beautiful time of the year. With the arrival of the southeast sea breeze in winter, the edelweiss all over the hills and plains dress up the whole hills with white snow.
By the evening sun, the fat man gently lifted the curtain of the carriage,
The Dylans Castle on the top of the hill is faintly visible. Below the hill, the city originally built on the hill has more than doubled its size. Not only does it have spires and high towers representing the nobility, but there are many more. It is the three-story villa most preferred by merchants. The seaside port has also expanded a lot. Hundreds of large and small ships are densely docked in it. Most of them are merchant ships with white canvas erected, and the pointed bow is inlaid with Dylan. The statue of the Sea God of the Si family, and occasionally you can see the Hulin skull flag and the Vijaya navy eagle flag
"Time is coming so fast, it takes half a year in a blink of an eye"
The fat man has deep eyes. Hearing the sound of the rushing wheels coming from under him, his heart seems to blend into this beautiful white, and a delicate shadow can't help appearing in his mind
The innocent girl who hugged herself at the dance party~IndoMTL.com~ I don’t know how I’m living now. If I think of the ambiguity at the banquet that day, the fat man’s heart can't help but touch
Although the Dylans family has been married to Samor, the Fatty hasn’t seen Dylankiss at the prom last time for more than half a year. Regarding the problem of the married family that surrounds the edge of his power structure , Has always been a heart disease in the fat man’s heart,
Except for the Jones family, which has been officially confirmed, the shadows of various other women are standing behind the other women. Improper handling of them will inevitably bring far-reaching influence to the newly emerging Kingdom of Vijay. The Luns family is one of the essentials for stabilizing the South, and behind Mao Monaqing is the representative of the interests of the West
The kingdom is initially determined, and his steps towards the throne of the Vecya throne have been stabilized, and the relationship between these foreign surname forces will also become closer and closer. Regarding the candidate of the future queen, it is difficult for the fat man to decide,
"Who do you choose?" The fat man tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat lightly, and he fell into deep thought. .. h
