Section 20 Assembled Parties
Your Majesty, there are countless strong young men waiting for your call-up in the Crewe Plains. As soon as Lundin-Reagan left the command post, he could no longer help but pour out his thoughts, "I don't see anything beneficial to the kingdom of the goblin soldiers of the six legions other than fulfilling the personal ambition of that goblin adjutant. β
"What do you think is good for the kingdom?" asked Pedi rhetorically.
"At least not six goblin regiments!" replied Lundin-Reagan so bluntly.
"Before the imperial power of the empire collapsed, do you know why everyone on the continent is afraid of the empire?" Pei Di looked at his uncle with a smile on his sideways, "Is it the powerful force of the empire?"
"No, it's the ruling power of the Empire that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Pedi asked himself.
Lundin Reagan was stunned, as a courtier he could not understand the meaning of the king's words.
"Why did the empire collapse?" Peidi looked at the gray sky, "Is it because of the Orc War five years ago?" he shook his head and asked himself again, "No, it was the enthronement war of eighteen years ago... That war not only allowed our esteemed Emperor Laubert to be crowned emperor, but also made everyone in the empire understand that the emperor of the empire was not so sacred. β
"I don't really understand. Lundin-Reagan shook his head, "I just don't think goblins can be trusted, and besides, our war will be over in six months." β
"I don't need to trust them, we're always taking what we need... Isn't it?" said Pedi shrugged.
The king's rhetorical question made Lundin-Reagan subconsciously stop, and everyone around him also subconsciously lowered their heads to show their humble status.
"And in six months there will be an even bigger war waiting for us. Peddy left this sentence and took Secretary General Wolfma and Archmage Leah to a high-rise building.
Less than a day before the recapture of the northern city, the enemy forces had quickly retreated from the city and retreated back to the city walls to form a defensive line.
"What's the point of struggling like this?" muttered Pedy.
"Her Highness Penny and her followers are well aware of the situation that will lie after the defeat of this war, and when they embrace the darkness, they cut off all their paths. Leah commented pertinently, "They have no choice but to resist to the end." β
Pedi whispered, "That means this war may be fierce at the last moments. β
...
On July 26, the rain finally stopped, and the city of Suke, where the sun was high, became hot again.
Outside the South City Gate, a guard of honor composed of knights and nobles stood neatly on both sides of the gate, and in front of the honor guard, Lundine Reagan looked into the distance in a formal dress with a very formulaic smile on his face.
On the horizon of the official road in front of them, an army of freshly dressed and angry horses was slowly marching forward, and at the foreground were Duke Andy Barrett of the Twak Heights and Prince Ribalo of the Kamok Khanate.
Andy Barrett and Ribarot had received Pedy's letter three days earlier, and immediately headed south with their few troops, and arrived outside the city of Sook the previous evening, only to be denied the gates by the kingdom army because of the curfew.
At five o'clock this morning, while they were resting, they were awakened by the king's messenger.
"Why should we obey that royal decree. Andy Barrett looked at the row of giant bear banners on the city walls, "Damn, they're disturbing my sweet dreams." β
"Dreams can only be dreams. Liberty stroked the thick mane around his mount's neck and said in a flat tone, "According to our previous agreement, we are now part of the Confederate army, and King Pedi is our commander. β
"Then he should have given the order in the name of the Confederates, not the damned king's order. β
"You think King Pedi is insulting you?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Andy shrugged and looked at Ribalo, "You don't mind at all?"
"What should I do?"
"Well..."Andy didn't know what to say, he turned his head awkwardly to look at the greeting team in front of him, and after two seconds of silence, he changed the subject, "I heard that Pedy Reagan invited Chief Shikan, and he... Will it come?" he added, "It's the war you started that made Suker City what it is. β
"I can't make decisions for King Khan. Ribalo shrugged away from the more sensitive topic.
By this time, the City Wall Direction Band was already starting to play, a tune that Andy Barrett had never heard before. He wasn't talking to Ribalo, because his eyes were already completely drawn to Suke City at the moment.
More than a decade ago, he entered the city alone and under the escort of the family knights.
Memories of that time were already vague for Andy Barrett, who only remembered that it was very cold in Sukh City at that time, an unbearable cold, so much so that he fell seriously ill shortly after entering Suke City.
It was also at that time that he met his cousin, Petdy Reagan.
After that, all his memories were filled with the three Reagan siblings, and they spent a long and pleasant time in Suke City.
It was indeed a pleasant time, and they didn't have to think about anything during that time.
But everything changed five years ago.
When he left the city five years ago, he thought he would never return, but fate is always unpredictable.
In the past, the brothers and sisters who frolicked and sat together and drank tea every day can only see each other in arms.
"This is the city of Suk?" Barillo looked around the walls of Suke, as well as the buildings outside the walls and the mills and water towers looming in the distance.
"This is Suker City!" Andy Barrett replied and galloped towards the city gate, the wind in his ears "whirring", and the walls of Suke City were getting closer and closer.
"Ang" was in front of the guard of honor, Andy Barrett grabbed the reins of the horse, and the horse raised its hooves as it neighed. "Haha!" The loud laughter intertwined with the music played by the honor guard as the horse's hooves landed, highlighting Andy's happy mood at the moment.
"Duke Barrett. Lundin-Reagan stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty is waiting for you inside." β
Andy didn't dismount, he glanced at Lundin-Reagan with his hands on his horse, and then looked back at Ribalo behind him, "Our orc friends haven't arrived yet." With that, he deliberately closed his eyes.
After five or six minutes of awkward waiting, Ribalo arrived at the gates with a large procession. The orc prince was much more polite than Andy, and he first dismounted and greeted Lundin-Reagan, and then the two spoke a lot of kind words.
"It's time for us to enter the city, right?" Andy couldn't stand the compliments they took, and he took two steps forward on his horse, stopping when his horse was almost close to the soldiers under the walls.
"Of course, Your Majesty can't be kept waiting too long. Lundin-Reagan was not displeased at all, he kept a smile and said to Prince Ribalo: "Your Highness, the people of Suker City have prepared a grand welcome ceremony for you, and I suggest that you ride the wind wolf into the city, so that the people of Suke City can see you more intuitively and let them feel your friendship." β
'Bullshit friendship!' Andy Barrett said in his heart.
"It's my pleasure. Prince Ribalo responded with a smile.
Lundin-Reagan waved his hand at the guard of honor behind him, and the neatly arranged knights immediately spread out to both sides in an orderly manner to the accompaniment of military music, providing a wide passage for the procession to enter the city.
"So, two... Please..."Lundin-Reagan rode his prepared horse to lead the way for the two.
In the anticipation of Prince Ribalo and Andy Barrett's belly, a strange procession of half Highland Steppe Light Cavalry and half Orc Wolf Cavalry slowly entered Suke City.
Passing through the dark aisles of the city gates, the cheers of wave after wave gradually became clear.
On the morning of Central Street in summer, the sun's rays are still so dazzling, this is Andy's first reaction, and the heat wave on his face makes him ooze a layer of fine sweat on his back.
"It's still so hot in the summer in Sook City. β
Andy Barrett subconsciously squinted his eyes and looked up at the scorching sun, and the whistling cheers in his ears made him lower his head again, and his vision was full of sprinkled flowers, and the light fragrance mixed with the smell of the citizens' sweat, making him a little stunned.
How humble he was when he left the city five years ago, but when he re-entered the city, everyone cheered for him.
...
Lion Castle, Eunice Hall.
The Imperial Hall, the city-state council hall, but the city council of the Union State is not located here, so this beautiful hall has been almost unattended for the past two years.
The Golden Throne, a symbol of the Empire's dominion, is long gone, but the statues of Archduke Patvede and Locke the Great are still there.
Penny stood in front of the two statues, looking at them as they looked into the distance, and her ears were filled with the endless cheers of the citizens of the outer city.
"Your Excellency, have you thought about it?" said GΓΌlen from the dark corner beside him.
"You think I've lost completely, don't you?" said Penny, still looking at the two statues, her gaze not shifting.
"If you had accepted us half a year ago, maybe this war could have been salved, but now the Confederates are in the city. Glenn shrugged, "I really can't think of any way to win unless I summon an ancient god." β
"Then talk about your so-called summoning ritual. Penny withdrew her gaze and looked at Glenn beside her.
"Very simple principle, theoretically achievable, and... It's not a summoning ritual, just a regular magic. Glenn explained with a smile, "Using enough soul power to create a golem powerful enough to destroy an army, it can help you reclaim Suker City." β
"A collection of souls, are you sure you can control it?"
"We can modify its memory to make him absolutely obedient to your orders. β
Penny was silent for a few seconds, "I need to think about it. β
"Hopefully it won't take long, because your brother should be launching a general attack right away, and ordinary golems and reinforced soldiers won't be able to resist it for long. "Glenn is as humble as a waiter in an inn.
"I'll give you an answer by this time tomorrow. Penny waved her hand.
Glenn chuckled and retreated to the door, smiling at Karen Sibo who walked in, but Karen Sibo didn't give him a good look.
"Chief. Karene Sibo walked straight up to Penny, who had followed a summons.
"When will my brother attack?" asked Penny.
"It's not tomorrow morning, it's the day after tomorrow. Karen-Sibo paused for a moment, "It's a pity that the counterattack a few days ago, if you can encircle and annihilate the Fifth Army and successfully raid the flank of Central Street..."
"It's a pity. Penny said pity, but her face didn't show much waves, and she was as calm as an old lady who had experienced all the loves.
Before Karen Sibo could continue, Penny asked, "Do you think we have any hope of success?" in a calm tone, as if it were an inconsequential question.
"Not much hope. Karen-Sibo replied truthfully.
"You say... What is the purpose of those mages?" asked Penny again.
Karen-Sibo was stunned for a moment and then reacted to who the chief said, "With the power in their hands, they can completely control us and do whatever they want, so... They didn't have to think about us, but they didn't. She frowned, "It doesn't follow basic logic. β
"I don't really like these soul-toying guys, but they do help us. Karen-Sibo continued: "And, now only they will help us... We have nothing to lose now. β
"In the future, you and I may be scolded by countless people. Penny chuckled.
"Losers are scolded, and it has nothing to do with what losers do. β
"Haha!" Penny burst out laughing, she laughed happily, "You're right, losers are meant to be scolded, nothing to do with what they do. β
At this moment, the cheers of the outer city suddenly rose to a height.
...
At the entrance of the Confederate headquarters on Central Street, Pedi was dressed in a king's dress, and the two-handed sword in his hand stood in front of him, and next to him stood generals from the kingdom, the Mage Tower, Feld Territory, Norma Fort, and the Fortress of Cologne.
Andy Barrett and Ribalo have long since left their mounts, taking small steps under the tug of Lundin Reagan. With less than ten metres between the two sides, Andy Barrett suddenly picked up his pace and crossed Lundine Reagan, who was leading the way in front.
"Long time no see, my dear cousin. Andy Barrett stepped forward and wanted to give his cousin a hug, but when he spotted the long sword in front of him, he could only smile and greet him.
"Andy, it's a pleasure to see you here. Pedi smiled in response to her cousin's enthusiasm.
When Andy Barrett was about to say something, Lendin Reagan and Ribalo had already stepped forward, "Your Majesty." "Lundin-Reagan treated Peddy with courtier etiquette.
