And Taylor's father, Orlov, in order to curry favor with Tian Mori in exchange for trust, once held him hostage in the royal court of the North Sea, which allowed him to receive the top education in the Northland.

Frankly, Taylor didn't like his father's tyranny, he had already seen that Ollov's rule was nothing more than self-destruction, but as one of Orlov's many sons, it was difficult to have a chance to express his views except for silently assisting him.

For example, in today's war, he had already vaguely felt that something was wrong before the war began, no matter how loyal and brave the warriors of the Northland were, they had to face the army of His Majesty the Emperor.

What's more, he beheaded the messenger and broke the rules, although the Northland is respected by the strong, but in the end, few rulers who do not speak of morality can survive all the time.

No matter how powerful the Knights are, in the memory of the Sea Castle generation, Orlov's King's Guard will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and there will be no place to turn over.

But for him personally, maybe after joining the empire, he can get a new life.

Prior to this, Beihai had never had the experience of an army led by the king himself being "wiped out in a battle" in a defensive war, and in the Northland culture that advocated bravery, the issue of war damage was completely ignored by the residents.

Judging from the comparison of casualties, the difference between the two armies is not small, although the powerful throwing weapons of the northern army did not immediately kill the southern army, but they were disabled after this war, and they should not continue to participate in the next war, that is, let them return to their hometown alive, and toss again on the road, and they can also kill them if they are not even.

Some military scholars of later generations believe that when the Southern Army first entered the North, it lost at least one-fifth of its troops, which at least proved that the commander of Beihai was not a complete straw bag, but only had to lose the war when the time and place were not available.

But no matter what, the current Imperial Legion can still make a victorious posture and enter the Northlands.

The royal palace in Beihai had no real defense, and after breaking through the low wall, it was only a place to provide accommodation and banquets.

General Nonno, who had already damaged a lot of men in the resistance to the Northland's throwing weapons, did not expect the warriors of the North Sea to be so indifferent in close combat, he had just climbed over the fence, the war was over, and Sword ordered that no prisoners should be killed.

There was no way to vent his anger that Nong Nuo surrounded the city, and he didn't even have the tradition of persuasion among nobles to surrender, so he lit a torch and threw it on the wooden palace.

Burn it all, that's his attitude.

The war has reached such an extent that both sides have already suffered hundreds of casualties, and it is almost pointless to engage in peace talks, and the two sides can only fight to the death.

Looking at the overwhelming cavalry army, Sword glanced at Haru with a somewhat defiant look.

"Lord Sakhalin, the Empire has always been the most sincere party in negotiations, and do not insult the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Although Sea Castle is a city built on a damp swamp, the palace itself is a simple civil structure.

Non Nuo simply collected some grease from the city and poured it on the palace, and the fire burned almost uncontrollably, and in an instant, the once political heart of Beihai was reduced to ashes.

The rest of the palace did not seem to have expected the Empire to be so resolute, and the resistance, capitulation, and even surrender were directly surrounded in the flames, and they could at first make a few cries of begging for mercy or insults, but as the flames gradually spread from the periphery of the palace to the inside, the voices were eventually overshadowed by the sound of flames burning.

It was not until the palace completely collapsed and it was determined that there was no more living in it that General Nonnuo was satisfied with the old site of the Beihai Palace.

But in terms of ability, General Nonnuo is considered an excellent general, but it is far from being remembered by history, but he finally carved his name in the history books in his own way, until hundreds of years later, when the citizens of Great Pruss mentioned him, it was still a mixed tone, and countless scholars and citizens discussed his gains and losses, as if they were arguing for themselves.

"Burner" Nonno.

Everyone plays with fire, but as far as the burning of the royal palace is concerned, in the history of the Great Prus, he is a not-so-glorious start.

It has been hundreds of years since the Great Purus transitioned from the tribal period to the traditional period of the Four Kingdoms, and there has hardly been a complete standstill in the internal and external wars, but even the worst beaten king of Cyporus has not been beaten to the extent of destroying the royal palace.

But all this is not so significant for Nongnuolai. He does not see himself as a political figure, even though he is already in a high position. This is his merit and the most fatal flaw in his character.

Burning down the palace was nothing more than an optimal solution to save troops, and it was a plan that any qualified general could think of, but Non Nuo made it.

When the palace was set on fire, the soldiers of the empire cheered, for this was the first war they had won since their expedition, and it had won beautifully, and in one fell swoop they had "eliminated" a king, and from this point of view, it was indeed an undoubted victory.

Of course, the captured soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom were dissatisfied, and some of them were even about to attack immediately and fight to the end with the soldiers of the Empire. Of course, this kind of reckless man could not accomplish anything under the strict supervision of the Imperial soldiers, and all he did was to get him out of this world one step ahead of the palace.

As for the soldiers who did not resist, on the surface, they only became more silent, and even the appearance of the surrounding inhabitants and the soldiers in the legion went from being rebellious at first to a kind of cowering fear.

Taylor is on the silent side. He considered himself not a coward, but he was also unwilling to bury a regime that was about to be destroyed, and in the war he used his fluent throwing axe to kill at least two Southern legionnaires, and later chopped down a warhorse, and he did not feel that he owed anything to a tyrant.

As for the Empire's burning of the palace, it even won him some good fortune, if Orlov can leave the sea castle alive today, he doesn't know how to give an account to his old master, in other words, if Orlov can't die completely, no matter what he does, he will always live in the shadow of this tyrant

Unless he dies, then it will be a hundred.

Thinking of this, his body even began to tremble again, not out of fear, but with excitement. He was eager to clear his name in the upcoming war against Wiegand Raus.

Yes, the crime.

If you lose a battle, you are guilty, and this is the simplest way to judge right and wrong.

Winning the war, Orlov would be able to gain semi-independent status, raise the North Sea Kingdom to a new level, and the conservative nobles would also benefit from the defects.

Having lost the war, Orlov is nothing more than a traitor to the North Sea Kingdom, and if the conservative nobles who have supported him can "discover" their mistakes in time and repent "heartily", the imperial system will still tolerate them, and if they are not sincere, they will be another rebel.

As for the civilians of Sea Castle, it didn't matter who ruled them. For them, the owner of the palace was only a tax collector anyway, and for some time it was a chieftain from the east, and for a few years it was from the west.

In the past, the inhabitants of Sea Castle were originally a reconstituted tribe of the North Sea Guard and their families, as well as a few homeless decommissioned court personnel, with no specific leader, social organization, or culture.

This played a certain stabilizing role in the alternation of power in Beihai, and he reflected the particularity and commonality of the throne, but in the end, it also made the centripetal force of such a regime so weak that the people did not know the king, and the king did not know the people.

"Hmm...... Isn't that our royal palace?" a girl ran out of her fence in three or two steps, looked at the palace that was still smoking, turned around, and really asked, "Why is the palace on fire, but no one is putting out the fire?"

A man ran out of the fence and scooped the girl back, and the mere appearance did not quite confirm whether he was the girl's father or brother, but in any case an elder in the girl's family.

He patted the girl's head lightly with his hand, and then turned his head in the direction of the palace, as if answering the girl's question, and as if he were speaking to himself.

"No, it's not our royal palace, it's the royal palace of Ollov, the royal palace of the king. It doesn't matter what you're doing so much, the palace is on fire, and it has nothing to do with you and me. ”

The girl's eyes widened, and she poked her head out of the man's arms, looked at the palace where the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and asked with some anxiety: "Then if we don't put out the fire, will it burn to our side?"

"Oh. Adusina, what are you worried about, the palace is still far away, and the fire can't spread, and even if it spreads, it will be the families who live nearby, and of course it has nothing to do with us. ”

The man replied to the girl's question with a pretended ease of ease, and he gently stroked the girl's head with his hand so that she could settle down completely.

In fact, almost all the inhabitants of Sea Castle were watching the raging fire, and it was winter, and even if the flames were burning vigorously, it would be difficult to set fire to all the houses so far apart.

These subjects of the North Sea Kingdom, although they are all talking about not doing their own business, really let them watch this palace that is deeply embedded in their memories be burned down like this, and they will always have an inexplicable feeling in their hearts, as if something in their lives has also been removed.

And this complicated mood is especially manifested in Alan's body.

Ignoring the dissuasion, he took off the iron crown he was wearing on his head with his hand, and threw it on the rain, and the crown rolled three times in a row in the somewhat melted muddy water roasted by the fire, and finally stopped on a pile of mud, never moving again.

No matter how much he resented this domineering palace and those corrupt rules, forcing him to stay in such a place that he didn't like to spend his youth, but in the end, this was still a piece of land that gave birth to him and raised him, and he had no feelings for this place at all, it was impossible.

Unlike those people who have long since become numb, Alan is the last "wise man" in the Northlands, and the more intelligent people are, the easier it is to fall into this dilemma.

Sword has been observing Alan early in the morning, although he and Alan do not know each other, but the Imperial guards around him can't be faked, thinking that it must be the "Imperial Spy" in Haru's mouth, but Sword racked his brains, and finally didn't know which team Alan belonged to, and rashly went up to say hello but fell behind, which is worth grinding on Haru's side now.

It's just that Old Haru looked at the burning palace at this time, and he was also deep in thought, and it seemed impolite to want to interrupt his "memories" at the moment.

Damn it, can't you just fence off the palace first and do it later?

This is probably the reason why the two of them can never really agree.

Haru is a real war-gotten guy.

At the age of 50, he has brought him far more than his current status and scarred body, but also more than 30 years of military career.

He had participated in the crusade against Wegenrau and put down internal rebellions in the North Sea Kingdom, and he was not surprised to burn down the enemy's tents, but he had some experience with it.

He was still young, roughly like the Sward Knight with whom he had negotiated today, twenty-six or seventeen years old, a man of great experience and prestige, but not so old as to be unpleasant.

Yes, he's always a winner. Although he was not a brutal man, he had his own sense of proportion, and most of the people who could get his turn to crusade were the sworn enemies of some kingdoms, so he never killed a single person indiscriminately, but he never showed mercy.

After conquering a city or a land, he always forced the inhabitants to move to other places, or scattered the people of the tribe, or sold them as slaves to the south, where the local dwellings were ......

In order to use it for future troubles, of course, it is to burn it clean.

At that time, he could still comfort himself in this way: those who were eliminated were too weak, and their culture was not even enough to protect themselves, and it was actually a kind of protection for him to occupy those cities?

But now he doesn't say a word.

Everyone
