Chapter 592: Griffin's Banner

Latest website: Crancia, capital of Nieder County, Iron Felt City.

Now that the city is under martial law, soldiers patrolling can be seen in the

streets and alleys, and the sound of neat training is often heard in the camp

outside the city, and tension is now spreading throughout the county and

province.

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 the current situation." The brown-haired consul was serious.

An intelligence officer next to him stood up and saluted and answered 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 breached

by the enemy, and the 2nd road repulsed the enemy under the resistance of our

army. ."

"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 in the fight."

"Is it a musket?"

The officials of the Ministry of Industry on the side frowned. Crancia is not

ignorant of muskets. Lorrain Hill once popularized the development route and a

series of related products after the senior officials.

"Return to the sir, it is not yet certain, and the informant speculated 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 now?"

"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 there will be further expansion 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 county support it?" asked a scholar with glasses, who is

the alchemist of 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 other side will make a

surprise attack. They can't support much."

"Nowadays, the big hope is the counties and provinces in the rear of the

interior, and Baimu County promised to support 20,000 soldiers to come."

"What about the central government's instructions?"

"At present, the war in the South is in desperate situation. The enemy's army

has stepped across the border one after another. Not only did New Verga have

about 500,000 enemy troops besieging Hopelander, another 100,000 army moved

north along the Black Pine River, and finally the Falcon Kingdom's army

gradually moved towards Converging on the border, there are about 300,000

desert cavalry and 50,000 soldiers from the Wing Clan coming to the border of

Feng Province."

"Oh... the parties are in a hurry, it is estimated that they will not be able

to support us."

"It is estimated that in three months, the number of enemy troops will expand,

reaching a peak of about 600,000 soldiers. Even if we increase our recruitment

and go all out, we will only be able to gather around 200,000 soldiers after

March. ."

"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 Rulner, the basic masonry and civil construction is still experienced.

The Third 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.

Once Ruerna, half of Wilga, Black Rock, and Falcon formed 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 surging

under the tide.

The bodies of the two old emperors were gradually declining, and the wedding

date of the crown princes was also approaching.

The green empire, the imperial capital Titanya.

The large main entrance that was closed on weekdays is slowly being pushed

open.

The gate is about one hundred meters high, allowing 20 carriages to move

forward 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, ceremonial knights in dark red and emerald

robes and armors were revealed at the back. They stood on both sides of the

main road, one person every 10 steps, and a 5-meter-high hanging flag in their

hands.

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 honour knights with flag guns are all

extraordinary Sequence 5 (Gold Level) ) The existence of the above.

There are about 1,200 honorary 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 honorary knights, there are 8,000 elite royal knights

above the Extraordinary Sequence 4. They were wearing silver armor, with red

and green rose badges on their chests, and holding halberds, isolating the

crowd of onlookers behind them.

With a slight magical wind blowing, burgundy and green rose petals floated

from the sky, slowly falling on the long central carpet, causing the crowd on

the sidelines to scream and cheer.

In the face of such a grand occasion, a team outside the city holding a white

and golden flag slowly entered the city.

Approximately 2,000 knights wearing white gold-rimmed armor lined up in an

orderly line. They held the lances with the white gold griffon flags and

protected the three luxurious carriages in the center, walking slowly 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

dim 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 the speculation of many people, the current royal family may be

married to the family of Salius, Duke of Griffin, which means that a crown

prince will marry the daughter of Salius, and the eldest son of Salius, Jeran

Well, I will also marry an imperial princess.

In this way, we can continue to maintain the close ties between the royal

family and the Salus family ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and serve as a heavy ballast

stone in the surging power of the dark tide, and maintain the stability of the

empire.

For a time, the situation gathered, and the momentum became vigorous. The

object of discussion in the imperial capital also turned from the future White

Queen to the house of the Griffin Duke who is now entering the city.

Wearing a silver-bottomed and gold-rimmed armor, Jalan followed his father on

a tall horse. He raised his right hand and waved it slowly, responding to the

excited and scorching gazes of those on the street.

Countless aristocratic girls showed their gorgeous and bright dresses,

blooming like flowers. They let out a scream and cry, just to attract the eyes

of the eldest son of Griffin, as if the love story in the poem was about to be

on them. Staged.

In the face of such a landscape, for the sake of image, Jalan had to keep a

smile on his face, but his heart drifted towards the scene in memory, 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.
