She Is Not a Witch Chapter 157: Gryphon Banner
Latest website: Crancia, capital of Nieder County, Iron Felt City.
Now the city is under martial law. Soldiers patrolling can be seen in the streets and alleys. The sound of neat training is often heard in the camp outside the city. Tensions are now spreading throughout the county.
In the city lord’s mansion, the local government officials gathered together, they looked at the map in the center of the table, and solemnly discussed.
"Report on the current situation." The brown-haired consul was serious.
An intelligence officer next to him stood up and saluted and replied loudly. "Yes, sir!"
"Now the Black Rock Principality has gathered a large army to invade the border of our country. It is known as a 300,000 army. It has raided from the five main border crossings of the county. Now the 3rd road has been broken by the enemy, and the 2nd road is repelled by our army. The enemy."
"In addition, according to our informant's report, the other side will soon arrive with a group of airships and bring new weapons from the Frost Alliance to help."
"Is it a musket?"
The officials of the Ministry of Industry on the side frowned. The Crancia side is not ignorant of guns. Lorrain Hill once popularized the development route and a series of related products after the senior officials.
"Return to the sir, it is still uncertain, and the informant guessed that it was a magic crystal gun or a war machine."
"It's not good news anyway." A bearded officer shook his head.
"How much combat power can we mobilize today?"
"There are currently more than 40,000 people in active service. This is the result of the expansion of the army at the beginning of the year. Now, if you add up the reserve and the recently trained personnel, you can reach up to 80,000."
"It's still not enough. The enemy has more than 300,000. Although this number has certain bragging elements, with the support of the Frost Alliance, their equipment is not bad. It is estimated that the army will be further expanded in the future."
"In addition, Heiyan has always had the custom of living on mercenaries, and civilian militarized training and common sense are also more popular, and it will soon be able to pull up a considerable army."
"Can the neighboring counties support it?" asked a scholar with glasses, who is an alchemist in the county.
"Yes, but they also have their own difficulties." The consul said slowly.
"In other border counties that are also under the province of Fengxiao, many black rock soldiers have now been found. Maybe the opponent will make a surprise attack. They can't support much."
"Nowadays, the big hope is the counties and provinces in the inner rear. Baimu County promises to support 20,000 soldiers to come."
"Where are the central instructions?"
"At present, the fighting in the south is in desperate situation. The enemy's legions have stepped across the border one after another. Not only are about 500,000 enemy troops besieging Hopelander in New Verga, but there are also 100,000 troops going north along the Black Pine River, and finally the army of the Falcon Kingdom. It also gradually converged towards the border. There were about 300,000 desert cavalry and 50,000 soldiers from the Wing Clan coming to the border of Feng Province."
"Hey... the parties are in a hurry, it is estimated that they cannot come to support us."
"It is expected that in three months, the number of enemy troops will expand, reaching a peak of about 600,000. Even if we increase our recruitment and go all out, we will only be able to gather up to about 20 after March. Ten thousand fighters."
"We can only rely on the dangerous terrain and the defense of the city wall." An experienced military officer analyzed in this way.
"Now I ask the Alchemist Association in the county to reinforce the city's defenses and build outposts along the way."
"This is my duty." The alchemist with spectacles pushed down his spectacles. Although the overall level of the alchemists in Niedershire is far from that of Rulna, these basic masonry and civil engineering Construction is still experienced.

Tertiary Age, 1866
The cold wind is gradual, and as time enters December, on the western continent
A rare war broke out in nearly a hundred years, and the last time such a large-scale mobilization of the army had been the "Broken Bow War" one or two hundred years ago.
The former Rulner, half of Verga, Black Rock, and Falcon form a new union, Frost Rose. Under their determination and the assumptions they had established when they were founded, they headed towards Crancia in four ways, preparing to encroach on the great power on the west side of the continent.
Since the destruction of the westerly wind, the former Xuehua Seven Nations Alliance has disappeared, and now the vigorous civil war has begun. As Xuehua's united opponent and the most powerful empire on the mainland, the Verdant Empire is now also facing power struggles and alternations that are surging under the tide.
The bodies of the two old emperors are gradually declining, and the wedding date of the princes is also approaching.
The Verdant Empire, the imperial capital Titanya.
The large main entrance that was closed on weekdays is slowly being opened.
The gate is about 100 meters high, allowing 20 carriages to go side by side, and 100 fully armored knights can stand side by side at the door.
The splendid and majestic city gate reflects a purple-gold halo under the sunlight, and the exquisite rose vine pattern is carved in it, which shows the gorgeous aesthetics of the elves.
When the city gate was opened, it revealed that there were ceremonial knights wearing crimson and emerald robes and armor at the back. They stood on both sides of the main road, one person every 10 steps, and a 5-meter-high suspension in their hands. banner.
On these flags are various family crests of different colors and the same shape. The family crests that can be displayed at this time are all family crests above the earl, and these honorary knights with flag guns are all extraordinary Sequence 5 (Gold level) or above.
There are more than 1,200 honorable knights and 1,200 multifaceted noble family crests on this road, and this is only a small part of the welcoming team. Behind these two rows of honorable knights are 8,000 elite royals of Sequence 4 and above. knight. They were wearing silver armor, with red and green rose badges on their chests, and holding halberds, isolating the crowd of onlookers behind them.
As a slight magical wind blows, burgundy and green rose petals are floating from the sky, slowly falling on the long central carpet, causing the crowd on the sidelines to scream and cheer.
Faced with such a grand occasion, a team outside the city holding a white and gold flag slowly entered the city.
About 2,000 knights wearing white gold-rimmed armor lined up in a neat line. They were holding the lances with the white gold griffon flags hanging, protecting the three luxurious carriages in the center, and slowly marching into the city under the gaze of everyone.
The leader of the team is a knight wearing a gorgeous golden armor and a golden-red cloak. He is not wearing a helmet at the moment. He has slightly faint blond hair, a lot of wrinkles on his face, and a gray-white beard.
This seemingly old but sharp-eyed old man is the current Duke of Griffin. This time he took his son and daughter to the imperial capital at the invitation of the current emperor.
According to many people’s guesses, today’s royal family may be married to the family of Salleus, Duke of Griffin, which means that a prince will marry the daughter of Salius’ family, and the family’s daughter The eldest son, Jalan, will also marry an imperial princess.
In this way, we can continue to maintain the close ties between the royal family and the Sarous family~IndoMTL.com~, and act as a heavy ballast in the surging power of the dark tide, and maintain the stability of the empire.
For a time, the wind and clouds gathered, and the momentum was vigorous. The object of discussion in the imperial capital also changed from the future White Queen to the house of the Griffin Duke who is now entering the city.

Jelanen was wearing silver-bottomed and gold-rimmed armor, and riding a tall horse behind his father, he raised his right hand and waved it slowly, responding to the excited and burning gazes of the people on the street.
Countless noble girls showed their gorgeous and bright dresses, blooming like flowers. They let out a scream and cry, just to attract the eyes of the griffon eldest son, as if the love story in the poem is about to Staged on myself.
In the face of such a landscape, for the sake of image, Jalan had to keep a smile on his face, but his heart floated to the scene in the memory unknowingly, the dark-haired girl standing quietly under the diagonal light.
Even if you were born in the top giants in the empire, there are some involuntary moments in your life
