In the spring of 1968, the reorganization of the empire's western army was
completed, and it continued to march towards the hinterland of Crancia. Due to
the large number of legions, this time it was the imperial prime minister
Adlon and the Red Dragon Duke Leodor who each led an army and attacked in two
directions.
Among them, the Duke of Red Dragon led the army northward, preparing to cross
the hills and enter the former westerly hinterland, while Edron led his troops
to continue westward, with the intention of completely annexing the Verga
Verga area, and then marching into the Falcon.
In May of the same year, the two armies fought against the army of Crancia
several times. Although there were a lot of casualties, they still relied on
several times the strength of the opponent to win the victory.
At this stage of the war, the empire’s western expedition had about 2.6
million troops, of which nearly 200,000 were stationed on the occupied land
and the coast to prevent opponents from counterattacking and the Hinayue
Council’s registration support.
Edron led an army of 800,000 soldiers to the town of Hopelander and began to
besiege, while the Dragon of Exus led a black and red army of 1.6 million
soldiers slowly across the hills of the former westerly southern border.
On the side of Crancia, 200,000 regular troops and 150,000 troops supported by
Falcons were left to garrison Hoplander, a seaport city on the key road. In
addition, the main force in the country gathered in the interior to confront
the Duke of Red Dragon. The number of its coalition forces was about 900,000.
In the strangling battle in the past year, the empire’s casualties were nearly
600,000, while the Starlight Alliance was about 300,000. Although the exchange
ratio was good, a new round of conscription has begun within the empire. It is
expected that there will be another 150 in the second half of the year. An
army of about 10,000 gathered southward and marched to the front line.
According to the estimation by scholars in Crancia, the Canghong Empire still
has enough power to encourage the last wave of support after this conscription
support, so that it can be considered as reaching its limit.
Facing this great situation, the old aristocrats in the Canghong Empire who
had waited and waited and were gradually moved, all expressing their
willingness to participate in the western expedition of the empire. As a
result, among the 1.5 million supporting troops, many elite corps led by great
nobles have emerged.
To celebrate, but also to negotiate and distribute the interests of the
occupied area, the emperor arrived in Chixin Province in the south in early
July, which is the center of the Baska family's fief, and prepared to hold a
grand banquet here. This banquet also invited many new military nobles and
veteran nobles, etc., in order to harmonize the relationship between the two
parties and make arrangements for future wars.
On July 15, the banquet was held in the Ducal Palace of Baska.
The crimson gradual dragon flapped its wings and soared in the sunset, pulling
the luxurious rose airship across the sky. Its pale silver metal deck reflects
bursts of golden light in the sunset.
The original smooth metal shell is now decorated with bright red and lifelike
rosettes, which spread all over the corners and planes of the airship, giving
it an elegant atmosphere.
The owner of this airship is the youngest daughter of the Crimson Duke today,
Evetina Cang Baska. Although she does not have the title of princess, this
princess is more like a princess than any princess. She has the prestigious
appearance among the southern aristocrats, but she is even more famous for her
self-willed and self-willed character.
Although it is not easy to get along with, there are still many nobles who say
that this is the style of the Baska family, bold and direct, and countless
people are vying to pursue the daughter of the duke.
The airship slowly descended, and a girl in a court dress with layers of
flowers walked out of the cabin door and walked into the Duke's courtyard with
the support of many maids.
In the tall hall of the mansion, a ball is being held, and teams of noble men
and women in luxurious dresses dance in it.
Under the resplendent light, the transparent and exquisite wine glass was
filled with intoxicating liquid. With the slight collision of the glass, these
rich and noble guests talked with each other and laughed joyfully from time to
time. The whole band on the high platform by the side is playing soothing
music, adding a pleasant atmosphere to the party.
"Oh, this thing seems good."
A wealthy nobleman looked at the small loudspeaker beside him and said in
admiration.
"This was made by those Southern Wizards. How, do you want me to give you
some? A few years ago, I recruited a few wizards who had escaped to work for
me in my manor. These people are actually very obedient. "A blond man with a
white silk scarf on his chest turned this little alchemy prop with his
fingers.
"By the way, I also asked them to make some ice-producing boxes and alchemy
creations that can boil water by themselves. These are very comfortable to use
in winter and summer."
"Earl Islan will really enjoy it, and I was moved by what I said. It is a pity
that my fief is in the north, and I did not grasp the opportunity of the
previous years. Let alone these alchemists sitting on these gadgets are quite
useful." The wealthy nobleman continued to play with the small speaker at his
hand.
"Of course, making money is also good."
"From now on, it seems that I will have to find a few alchemists as servants
to decorate the facade like this."
......
"Status? Hahaha, isn't it just a craftsman who fiddles with gadgets? What
status is needed? Let them live in the empire is a gift."
"I see that this is no different from those gardeners and house masons. These
lower-class people only learn a little skill and think that they are superior.
It's so naive and funny."
"Noble blood, glory, is everything."
When the banquet was a big one, when the atmosphere gradually rose, several
pairs of red-clothed attendants walked down the internal stairs. Although they
looked young, they were all rare elite and extraordinary people, almost all of
them above Sequence 5.
"The emperor's crown is here~"
The sharp and bright voice of the waiter sounded, and then the music in the
hall stopped, and everyone respectfully separated on both sides.
Before attending the banquet, many people knew that the imperial emperor would
be present, but at this time many people were still a little excited.
A young man in a gold and red luxurious dress led a beautifully dressed
aristocratic girl slowly down the stairs and into the hall.
This is the current imperial emperor Emanke, as well as Baska’s youngest
prostitute Evetina. The two met when they were young and knew each other. Now
that the Pascal Patriarch is not in the fiefdom, it is naturally his wife.
Mrs. Torrentsa entertains the guests, and the task of accompanying the emperor
is entrusted to Evetina. Perhaps it is also the intention of the two parties
to bring this pair of ideas together.
If the emperor and the Baska family marry, the politics within the empire will
be further stabilized.
After entering the hall, the emperor first briefly said a few words,
describing this glorious expedition, the glorious situation, and the glorious
results.
"For this, I would like to give special recognition to a general, that is, the
leader of the Blood Spear Knights, Dulce." The emperor lifted the sleeves of
his luxurious military uniform and pointed to an officer not far away from
him. This well-dressed man has a firm face. Although he has been commended,
his expression remains the same, calm and stable, and he can't help but admire
and trust him.
"Congratulations~"
"Congratulations to General Dulce."
There was a burst of warm applause. Although many nobles still despised
Dulce's humble background, they were also smart people and naturally would not
refute the emperor's opinions on the spot. And some long-sighted nobles also
understood that this is the hope that the emperor gave to soldiers and
officers of civilian origin, so that these expeditionary soldiers could
believe and feel at ease.
Since Dulce, a civilian, can step up to the top of the empire by virtue of his
military merits, why can't you? Compared to the past, the new emperor is
indeed very refreshed in commending meritorious services, and it is also true
that there are a large number of legions standing by his side, serving for his
orders.
The banquet continued. The emperor first danced a few dances on the dance
floor with the prostitutes of the Baska family, and then talked and exchanged
with many great aristocrats in the south, drawing in and getting acquainted.
At this time, the sky gradually dimmed.
In a secluded garden not far from the dance party, in the midsummer season,
flowers of various colors bloom quietly in the garden, and most of them are
roses and roses.
Emank came here at a fast pace. At this time, he had taken off his sultry and
complicated coat and cloak, wearing a simple and breathable shirt, followed by
several red guards behind him. Suddenly, he stopped.
"Okay, let's do it here, Ronald. Edron asked you to come over because there is
something important to report." He looked back at an officer behind him. It is
the body and soul next to his brother Edron.
The officer looked around and saw that there was no one, so he spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Edron asked me to remind you of something."
Then, he approached Emank's ear and whispered.
"The Duke of Baska led the main army northward and continued to integrate his
army along the way. Once he finally captured a large area of Crancia, then
follow-up..."
The Baska family was originally a branch of the royal family. If the last
expedition were to come down, with a heavy hand in hand and a vast territory,
it would be difficult to guarantee that it would not have any alienation.
After Emank listened, he looked at the orange sunset in the distance, and was
silent for a while. "I see."
Seeing that the emperor's back was motionless, Ronald was unsure of what the
other party was thinking, and retired and left in line with the creed of "do
less and make less mistakes."
"Prepare the royal golden scale red dragon for Ronald, and let him quickly
return to the prime minister's side." Before leaving, Emank ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard officer behind him bowed his head in response,
then stepped back and quickly left.
Looking at the remaining ten guards around, Emank continued: "You all step
back, I want to go to a walk in the garden alone."
"this..."
Among them, the guard leader De Rosa, which is rare in the empire today, is a
little hesitant. The 30-year-old minister cast a wink at Emank and glanced at
an apple tree in the garden.
Emank nodded, then waved his hand to let him continue to retreat.
"My minister knows, I will wait for your majesty's call at the garden exit."
The man pressed the long sword around his waist and led a dozen guards out of
the garden.
After everyone was gone, Emanke took a few deep breaths before walking slowly
in the courtyard full of flowers.
This is a relatively remote place in the Ducal Palace of Baska. It is not the
most popular garden in the Ducal Palace. Many of the flowers and categories
have been popular in the last century. Now they are naturally not loved by
those young ladies who follow the trend. But because it is the ducal palace,
it hasn't been abandoned, and it has been maintained and taken care of by
gardeners.
Picking off a pale pink rose, Emanque sat on the horizontal bench, looked up
at the flowing clouds reflected in the red clouds in the sky, and leaned on
the back of the chair to relax.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor is wise and martial, decisive
and extremely strong, it is undeniable that he is still a young man in his
20s. It's just the halo and glory of that body that made everyone forget this.
As he is in charge of this huge empire, he has to decide and handle countless
matters. After a long time, he will inevitably become tired.
The Baska family’s first-in-law daughter is really touching, but Emanke
doesn’t feel anything special, and it’s not even as amazing as the first time
she visited the Duke’s Palace when she was 9 years old.
That year, he and Edron, the Ansair brothers, and the sisters Tessline...
waited for the prince and princesses to come with their parents to celebrate
the wedding of the eldest son of the Baska family.
Looking back now, almost 16 years have passed without knowing it.
Time is really ruthless, for a time he missed the carefree days when he was a
child.
The Ansair brothers are actually pretty good. If they become kings, they will
probably become a pair of emperors with a good reputation. But since he has
reached this point today, he won't regret it either.
Emank closed his eyes and rested for a while, then stood up and continued to
walk slowly towards the depths of the garden.
Afterwards, he stopped under the apple tree and looked at it with interest.
"Aren't you coming down?" Emank looked at the light-colored skirt looming
between the branches.
"Wow!" The girl's nervous and surprised cry came from it.
"Who are you? How did you find me? Actually, I just wanted to pick an apple,
and then I didn't dare to come down when a large group of you came over." The
girl whispered.
"Hehe, actually I think the prom is a little bored and just walk around. In
addition, is the apple delicious? Can you give me one." Emak suddenly didn't
want to show his identity.
"This, isn't it sweeter, it feels better than my own." The girl dropped a red
apple.
After catching the apple, Emank wiped his sleeve casually, and then gnawed
down, not worrying about any accidents.
Seeing this aristocratic young man eating the apple she threw down, the girl
seemed to be relieved a lot, at least now the two are accomplices.
"How did you climb up? I think the Baska family doesn't seem to like outsiders
entering their garden." Emank looked at the girl, who was obviously not like a
descendant of the Dragon of Ethinking.
"This, this...this, I am actually just curious for a while, because the
banquet is very boring. Our family is not a nobleman, and the young ladies are
very powerful. I can't speak, so I had to come and take a walk."
"Then I saw an apple tree and went up?" Emank felt a little amused.
"Yes, I'm actually pretty good, I still graduated from Emenas." The girl said
slightly.
"After Emenas graduated, did he steal apples in the garden?"
"How can you be called stealing, you really can't speak!" The girl retorted
slightly annoyed.
"It's just here to pick the apples, and sit in the shade on the tree by the
way."
The sunlight between the branches and leaves fell on the girl's caramel-
colored hair, and her young face was mottled and moving. The light pink and
white dresses set off the slender figure, which made people feel a green and
pure beauty.
"Oh, did Emenas really graduated, I don't believe it, or should I test you?"
"Ask, hum~" The girl's calf wrapped in white gauze swayed gently among the
branches.
"Then I will start. If a 100-pound object is placed on a beam, and the beam is
supported by a column on only one side, and it is 20 inches apart from the
junction, how much stress will the column next to it be subjected to?"
"Ah, this, I think about it, it's relatively simple..." The girl turned her
head to think, and then reported a number.
After hearing the answer, UU Read www.uukanshu.com Aimanke continued to ask a
few more questions.
"Hey, why do you always ask questions about mathematics, I think it's too
tired." After listening, the girl pouted a little dissatisfied.
"No, no." Then, she seemed to find something and shook her head again and
again.
"Are you saying that I am heavy? Why are data such as my weight and height
used for each topic." She finally found out that there was a problem with the
data hidden in the topic.
"Haha, did you just find out now?" After molesting the girl, Emank seemed to
feel a special pleasure and relaxation.
"You bad guy." Looking at the aristocratic youth who laughed below, the girl
jumped down from the tree, ready to step directly on that arrogant face.
It's a pity that Aimanke is so skilled, he passed it easily without saying
anything, and caught the girl who had jumped with both hands.
Feeling the close mind and breath, the girl also became a little flustered and
uneasy. What if this young man from a noble background is not good to her?
Seeing this face close at hand, Emmank asked softly: "What's your name?"
"I, my name is Lily Esther."
In the midsummer season, the young man's face seemed to blend with the blue
sky behind him, beautiful and reassuring.
