Section 44 Current Situation

The military order has been issued,

The two corps assembled in the square, under the orders of the officers, marched quickly towards the gate of the castle with the military music of the honor guard.

Pedi turned around, his gaze met the nobles and ministers who came in a cluster, skimmed over everyone in turn, and finally stopped at Sira Marne, "The king is handed over to you, I don't worry!"

"I will give my life to ensure the stability of this city. As she spoke, Sira Marne knelt down on one knee in full view of the crowd, took the king's hand, and kissed the king's wrench around the glove.

"Assist Sir Marne well. Peddy looked pleased with Sira Marne's movements, and as he spoke, he looked at Hanina, who had also stayed in the royal capital, and then suddenly smiled, "Sir Marne's life is very important to me and this country, and I don't want his life to be in trouble." ”

"The police station will definitely ensure the safety of the entire royal capital. Except for Hanina's solemn statement, everyone else in the room was laughing lightly at the king's joke, but their laughter was more like a deliberate attempt to echo the kingdom's joke.

Pei Di had long been accustomed to the deliberateness of nobles and ministers, and he also smiled and stretched out his hand to help Sirah-Marne and Hannina, and deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "I believe in you, I believe in you as much as I believe in myself. ”

"Thank you for your trust. Siala Marne straightened up and looked at the King.

"The police department will live up to your trust, Your Majesty. Hanina remained the same nonchalant as an agent, and there was a determination in her words.

Pedi nodded and looked at Morinda, Bipp, De La Heel, and... Edwin Filming, the chief of logistics who he specially hand-picked, said, "This time, I'm going to get rid of you again." ”

Several ministers, with the exception of Dra Heel, expressed their determination in their own words.

"Your Majesty, looking at this army, I seem to see your royal banner planted all over the Suk Plain, and see the undead army led by Cullen crushed under the iron hooves of the kingdom's army!" the old mage Collier praised his master in his own distinctive voice.

"Haha!" Pedi looked happy, but his laughter soon stopped, and he looked around at the ministers who were about to follow him on the expedition, "Let's go..."

...

In the private room on the top floor of a newly built high-rise tavern on the main street near the city gate of Crewe, Yarman was close to the window, looking through the hidden window at the army slowly advancing on the street below, looking at the rows of brightly armored knights, listening to the cheers that were about to burst his eardrums, and his characteristic smile on his face.

"Sir Hannina is right, your smirk is disgusting. Don Wright didn't pay attention to the troops below, his eyes never leaving the cheering crowd around him, except for the occasional glance at Yarman next to him.

"Why do you like to show such an obvious smirk?" Even Don Wright, who had always been silent, couldn't help but say a few more words in the face of the legendary chairman of the 'Radiant Power'.

As a member of the Order, as a member of Hanina's independent development, Don Wright had never been involved outside of Crewe's territory, but he had heard the story of Yarman countless times from other members over the past thirteen years, so he wondered what kind of person the 'former chairman' was.

"What do you want to explore?'s past?" the smile on Yarman's face became more pronounced, "I have been trained by the old regiment since I was a child, and he made me forget my feelings... As I grew older, I forgot how to smile. He stretched out his hand to open the window completely, felt the heat wave of the winter pavement, felt the crazier cheers, and said:

"The old guru taught me to be loyal to the empire and its emperor, and I fought for it and spent all my youth for it, but it wasn't until the old guru died tragically in his apartment that I realized that what I had fought for was fake..."Yarman laughed, and what he said had to be stopped because of his laughter.

"When I was a child, every day was training in addition to training, and endless training filled my childhood, and at that time I thought that if I had time in the future, I must go to the outside world to see. Yarman recounted his untrue past in the tone of a bystander, "And now I finally have time, time to see the world I have not seen, and I want to collect the stories of those worlds and bring them to the old master of the kingdom of heaven." ”

"Do you think your soul can be forgiven by the gods and enter the kingdom of heaven?" Don Wright couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this, and his tone was filled with his characteristic indifference.

"Then I'll take the army of hell to open the gates of heaven!" The smile on Yarman's face became so bright at this moment that even Don Wright didn't know if it was a smirk.

Don Wright couldn't help but turn his head and look at Yarman seriously, Yarman still looked at Don Wright with his smile, and the two looked at each other silently for a few seconds before Don Wright turned his head to look at the crowd, looking for a suspicious person.

"Rest assured, Crewe City is safe today, and no one would be stupid enough to make trouble at such a time. Yarman looked at Don Wright's serious look and reminded him kindly like a friend.

"Can I take this as a reminder?" Don Wright turned his head abruptly and looked the other man in the eye again.

"Don't look at me with that kind of interrogative look, I actually know about the same information as yours. Yarman did not shy away from Don Wright's interrogating gaze, "You don't have to worry so much, your Majesty the King may have already arranged everything, and he is wiser than you think." ”

"You should now be addressed as 'Our Majesty', and you now assume the responsibility of the Crown's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

"What makes you so loyal to this country?" said Yarman, listening to the louder cheers in his ears as he looked at the young man flying under the banner at the end of the street in the distance.

"I just take care of my duties and never think about whether I am 'loyal' or not. Don Wright said very seriously: "Your Majesty has given me the duty now, and I try to bear my duty and not think about things other than duty. ”

"You can see that what you're saying is from the heart. Yarman began to take a serious look at Don Wright in front of him, and asked, "What if one day, Hannina gives you an order that violates the duties of the police chief?"

"I will uphold the duties of the director. Don Wright replied very quickly, without any hesitation in his words.

"So," Yarman chuckled, "what if the order Your Majesty gave you violates the duties of the Director?"

"I don't think that day will come. Don Wright said this with full confidence, "The duty of the police department is to maintain the internal security of the kingdom. He stared at Yarman and asked, "Do you think Your Majesty will give me an order to destroy the internal security of the kingdom?"

Yarman was surprised by Don Wright's answer, and even more surprised by his firm conviction, his golden eyes began to focus on the divine power around the other person's body. A few seconds later... He laughed, "It's Hanina's luck to have a subordinate like you, but it could also be her misfortune. ”

"I don't really like your words. After the previous conversation, it was clear that Don Wright had lost interest in Yarman, and he was about to say something, but because His Majesty had already walked by on the street, the cheers that almost burst his eardrums made him give up his intention to continue the discussion.

Yarman didn't continue to speak, his eyes were already drawn to Pedy Reagan, who was receiving the cheers of the crowd on the war horse. Unlike what others saw and saw, the Pedi Reagan in his eyes had countless pure divine forces gathered around him, protecting Pedi Reagan like a servant.

When Yarman tries to control the divine forces around Pedi in his own way, he finds that those divine powers are as thick as mountains and carry a sacrosanct majesty.

At the same time, Pedi, who was receiving the cheers of the citizens on the street, suddenly felt a strange and familiar divine power exploring him. Strange because he doesn't seem to have perceived such a divine power, and familiar because he seems to have encountered this divine power at a particular time.

It's a very contradictory feeling, so contradictory that it makes Pedi subconsciously remember where this power has been perceived. After half a ring, a flash of surprise flashed across Pedi's gentle smile at the citizens, and he remembered when he had sensed such a power, when it was at the last high-level meeting of the Imperial Capital Guards, and he had been warned by such a holy power when he gazed at Gus El.

"Who is he?" the question suddenly occurred in Peidi's mind, and he subconsciously looked around, but everywhere he looked, there were crowds of people, and it was difficult for him to lock on to a certain person in such a crowd.

"Your Majesty, what has happened?" Sir Bipp keenly sensed the change in the King.

"I felt like an old friend was seeing me off somewhere. Pedi looked at the surrounding buildings, greeted the cheers of countless people there, but still found nothing.

"Does Your Majesty have any friends like that?" said Drahir, looking intrigued.

Pedi chuckled at Drahir's words, withdrew his looking gaze, and continued to wave to the cheering crowd.

"Do you need to have the police station check?" asked Sir Bipp in a low voice, his words immediately making the generals and ministers around Pedi nervous.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm sure that friend has no ill will towards me at all. Pedi kept a smile and looked at the minister beside him with a fearless attitude.

The king's self-confidence infected everyone around him and dispelled the sudden tension.

The army of the freshly dressed and angry horses continued to move forward, and the unknown inquiring eyes were only fleeting, and Pedi no longer paid attention, and Yarman, who was in the hotel, no longer continued to pay attention to the expeditionary army.

...

In December, the whole part of the Alan Continent completely entered winter, and the cold wind blew across the land on every continent, and the Klan Territory south of the Anku Fortress under the Northern Snow Mountain was completely shrouded in snowflakes.

This time last year, the orcs were still busy with their unification war, and now they just had to hide by the warm fireplace and listen to the veterans boast to each other about their heroism in last year's war.

The winter in the Twak Highlands this year has completely stabilized, relying on the assistance of the Kingdom of Kruria, although many people are still starving to death and freezing to death due to lack of supplies, but in general it is much better than last year.

The fertile plains of Sooke, the land of the ancestors of mankind and the emerging Confederation of Ruluk, also won the first winter after its founding. Although the plains were fertile and producing, the long war had turned much of the fertile land into ruins, and the Sook Plains saw a large-scale wave of refugees rarely seen in a century.

The new regime at this moment is not only facing threats from the outside, but the greater challenge is the contradictions that have accumulated over the years between the various strata within the country, as well as countless war-torn regions that ostensibly support the rule of the Confederation, but whose true intentions are known only to the gods.

Felder's elven armies are still facing off against the undead legions, and the situation is clearly not going to improve anytime soon, and the dwarven kingdoms continue to build their new homes day and night, with towering walls rising from the border they have drawn with the orcs. In order to solve the problem of water in the western continent, the dwarves even planned to build a 50-mile-long embankment between the bellwarts of the Lordan Mountains to store water.

The kingdom of werewolves, dark elves, and humans of the Hoko Islands, enjoying the peaceful time after the war and concentrating on developing the country as they did last year, seem to have no interest in the interior and only occasionally send their troops at the request of their allies.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Kruria, the Kingdom of Balu in the snow-capped mountains in the north has cut off nearly half of the kingdom's army and has gone all out to develop the country, no longer bothering about any external wars.

In the area of the fortress of Coron, next to the ruins of the original bombed-out fortress, at the southern end of the Britt Forest, an even more magnificent fortress city is gradually taking shape.

The ruler of the fortress, Peruth, who holds the title of 'King of Light', was recently elected by the Archbishop of the church, Sesamhill, as the new captain of the Paladin Legion and the whitecoat of the church. As a result, numerous Paladin Orders have moved their stations to the Fortress of Kollen.

In the past year, due to the influence of the church, many families of the Empire who originally believed in the Holy Spirit emigrated to the Coron fortress area, gradually enriching the cultural and political influence of this area.

The way of ruling the fortress of Koren is very special, Perus does not follow the aristocratic ruling side of the empire, nor does he use the parliamentary system of the elven kingdom in the past, nor does he use the united government of the kingdom of Misha, nor the city-state union of the Suke Plain, nor the centralized way of the kingdom of Kruria.

At the suggestion of the representatives of the parties, Perus appointed four prefects, who were nobles, paladins, merchants, and representatives of the knightly class of the army, to serve him in a joint office.

Since the confirmation of the ruling system, Perus has gradually squeezed the power of the Baru Kingdom out of the fortress area of Coron, and slowly formed a relatively independent political group in this area...
