Chapter 122: Suicide Counterattack
Due to insufficient intelligence, Maier could not determine when the coalition forces would run out of food. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but what is certain is that in order to reduce the pressure on food, the coalition forces will definitely launch a suicidal counterattack in the near future. He asked the troops to be vigilant and ready to meet the battle and receive a large number of prisoners.
On July 11, 170 AH, the Imperial Princesses Yanhe, Zhenxin, Anjie and Little Bird arrived in Purandowang. The three of them were nominally there to comfort the army, but in fact they were there to accompany Meier. Mel has decided to stay in Plandowang for a while, and in the eyes of ordinary people, both Mel and the imperial concubines are in need, and it is human nature for him to let the imperial concubines come to the front to accompany him and satisfy his needs.
However, this is not the case. The princesses were not called by Meier, but offered to come to the front to accompany him. And they did not come to satisfy Meier's physical needs, but to comfort him psychologically. The deaths of Yishan and Euris caused a lot of damage to Maier, and at first he couldn't even close his eyes to sleep, and he had to hide motionless in Xiaoxiao's arms all night, as if he was dead, but his eyes were open.
This went on for six months, and even though Mel was in good health, it was a tear for half a year. Later, Mel was able to fall asleep, but for a long time, Mel needed someone to sleep. As soon as the person next to him leaves, he will wake up. At the end of last year, Mel's condition had finally improved, and at least he was sleeping peacefully. After the problem of Prandowong appeared, he took the initiative to go to the Zhanggul war zone to supervise the battle, and patted his chest to say that he was fine.
Despite this, the imperial concubines are still not at ease. They told Tar to keep an eye on Myr's condition, and if Myr behaved unusually, the princesses would rush over. On the day of Mel's arrival in Prandowong, he was still in good shape. In order to make Mel's life comfortable, Tal followed Shirley's advice and asked Shirley to warm the bed and make breakfast for his father. As a result, after eating Shirley's breakfast, Mel became emotionally unstable.
Tal reported the incident to the imperial concubines on the same day, but it was half a month after the letter was delivered to the Bluestone Palace. The imperial concubines all want to go to the front line to accompany Maier, but Xiaoxiao can't leave the Qingshi Palace casually as the queen, Nan Yi is the prime minister, Yu Mingli is the chief of the police department, Lingyu is the big witch of the new shrine, and Leah is responsible for managing the supervision committee, these four people have important positions, and they are also inseparable, so the task of going to the front line to accompany Maier falls on the other ten imperial concubines.
But the front line is not just a matter of going, there must be a valid reason. They can't say, "We're just going to be with our husbands, right?" This will certainly affect the image of Myer. In this way, Alice, Ista, Lulu, Xiaoye, Roy and Zoe, who have no reason to go to the front line at all, are eliminated.
Birdie is the best sniper in the Imperial Army, and without one, she has no problem going to the front at all. Yan He has a position in the Ministry of Defense and also has the power to go to the front. Zhenxin is an excellent witch, An Jie is a pharmacist, Zhenxin is a hand to get rid of the disease, An Jie is the medicine to get rid of the disease, they can go to the front line in the name of treating the wounded and boosting morale. With that, the list is finalized.
But before they set out, the princesses still had to get Maier's permission, lest they make him unhappy. During the correspondence, the princesses learn from Tarr that Mel's mental state seems to be getting worse and worse, and sometimes she even watches Shirley call out Kiki's name. The imperial concubines didn't know what was going on, thinking that Meier's mental state had deteriorated, and they were very anxious. Fortunately, Maier was self-aware of this, and finally he allowed the imperial concubines to accompany him at the front, and the imperial concubines were barely at ease.
Tar's wife, Milan, also came. The two have been married for so long and have no children, Milan is already a little old, and if they don't have children, I'm afraid they won't have a chance. Milan had little faith in this, and she often persuaded Tal to remarry so that the Villant family could take root in the city of Byrons. Tal had no desire to remarry, and with Pershing's precedent of adoption, Tal felt that he could adopt a child from the Willandt family in Sachding City if necessary, and that there was no need to have it himself.
But Tal forgets that the situation of the Battier family and the Villerant family is completely different. The Battier family is an ordinary Leiding family, with a normal fertility rate, at least there is no shortage of men. The Verland family is the Letin Wizard family, and the fertility rate is very low. People finally gave birth to a child, and they were afraid of falling in their hands, and they were afraid of melting in their mouths, and it was too late to feel distressed, so why should they pass it on to you?
In desperation, Milan could only force himself and seize every opportunity to create people with Tarr. Tal wasn't much interested in this kind of thing, so he got tired of the excessive intercourse, so much so that he refused to go back to his room to rest on the pretext of being on the night shift.
In desperation, Milan could only go to the imperial concubines for help. The relationship between the imperial concubines and Tal is very good, but the life of husband and wife is really inappropriate for women, so the imperial concubines can only ask Maier to come forward. So Maier called Tal to his office alone and talked to him about it.
“…… You can't forget why your family sent you to me. It is your responsibility to keep your family alive in the city of Byrons. Besides, your idea is too naïve, and you don't want to think about it, in addition to me, there are a few Leiting magicians in this world who have given birth to twenty children in ten years? Even I have to have a dozen wives. If you don't want to marry again, you'll have to work with Milan and have a boy so that your family can continue in Byrons. ”
But I really don't like women—Tal didn't dare say it. Mel's words brought Tar's mind back to his teenage years, when his father had thirty-one wives, but Tal had only six siblings. Several of these women, who have the right to be called "mother" by Tar, have gray hair, wrinkled faces, and have been sent to the cold for a long time. None of them had children, so they had little place in the family, and sometimes they were even called around like servants.
Tal would often hear his father talk about his youth, and he soon realized that the lifespan of a Rytin mage was long and slow, and that the lifespan of a Rytin woman was less than thirty years. When they are old, if they fail to get a child, they will be ruthlessly beaten into the cold palace. Even when they have children, their husbands rarely touch them. Generally speaking, male Rytin Wizards will marry at least one female Rytin Wizard, as they need a woman who can stay with them for a long time.
This reality gave Tal a big shock, giving him the illusion that a woman is just an accessory to a man, or even just a plaything, a tool for procreation. Tal did not want to develop feelings for such a being - perhaps it was from that time that Tal lost interest in women.
All for His Majesty the Emperor - with this belief, Tal began to work hard to create a man in Milan. It's a pity that until Milan was menopause, the two didn't get a child. By then, however, Tal had remarried, having six wives, and had already had a son from a Lytin woman. In order not to let his son become like himself, Tal taught him all kinds of benefits of women from an early age, as well as the importance of family continuity, so that the child looked forward to getting married and helping the family grow from an early age.
This child is Parmis, who was called the "man-making maniac" by later generations? The man who had forty-five sons and eighty-seven daughters made the Vellands a powerful man.
On August 7, the coalition forces sent nearly 300,000 men to carry out a suicidal attack on the Imperial Army in order to save food. The coalition soldiers were forced to participate in the battle, the morale was very low, and the cold-blooded nobles and generals made them so cold that the battle lasted less than half an hour, and the coalition forces participating in the attack began to surrender in formation.
The Imperial Army learned a lot of information through the prisoners of the coalition forces, but this information was not of much value, because the main forces of the coalition forces were there, and the Imperial army could not enter at all.
On September 13, on the western front of the Prandowan battlefield, the temporary residence of Emperor Mayr.
The place where Mel lived was a small, abandoned village with only eight cabins and a few warehouses, and the total population before the abandonment would not have exceeded fifty. Later, the Imperial Army converted this place into the general headquarters of the Prandowong battlefield, and as the battle line moved forward, the headquarters also moved forward, moved to other places, and then it became a temporary material transfer station.
The arrival of Mel made the soldiers of the Purandowong battlefield really frightened, they searched the entire battlefield, but they could not find a place where His Majesty the Emperor could stay, this small village that had been converted into a headquarters was already the best place in the war zone. Before the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, the sappers worked hard to repair and rebuild the place, at least to ensure that the building was airtight and the internal environment should be comfortable and beautiful.
When Maier arrived at the front, it became his temporary residence. He and his guards, as well as Shirley and hers, lived here, as did the princesses and their retinue.
That night, while the Meier family was gathering at the table for breakfast, the bird touched the crane with his knee under the table. Yan He turned his head suspiciously, and saw that the little bird gave her a look and asked her to look at Shirley. Yan He stared at Shirley for a while, but didn't see the reason. Some things can't be said on the surface, so Xiaotori can only let Yan He come to her room to chat after eating.
"What the hell, mysterious."
After dinner, Yan He went to the bird's room as promised. Tonight, Maier was in a good mood, and seemed to have the intention of letting the four imperial concubines sleep together. After eating, Zhenxin and Anjie were tired of being in Maier's room. Yan He felt that the battle would start at any time, and he didn't want to waste time, so he asked the little bird to say it clearly.
"Did you notice Shirley's dress?" Little Bird said with some trepidation, "Actually, I only noticed it recently. Shirley dresses herself exactly like Kiki, and sometimes even wears a maid costume to serve Her Majesty. Yesterday at noon, I was playing chess with His Majesty, Shirley was watching from the sidelines, and His Majesty suddenly said casually, 'Kiki, I want tea', and then Shirley obediently brought the tea, and His Majesty didn't even find out! ”
"Huh? And this kind of thing? Yan He showed a surprised expression, "What is this kid going to do?" ”
The four imperial concubines came to the front for a valid reason, but this reason cannot be just talked, but also put into action. Yesterday morning, Yan He went to a meeting with the generals to discuss the next step in military action. Zhenxin and An Jie went to the field hospital to treat the wounded soldiers, and only Xiaoniao stayed in the temporary residence.
Shirley, as one of the generals in the Zhanggul war zone, was supposed to attend the military meeting with Yan He, but she stayed in her temporary residence on the grounds that she was not feeling well. After this, she changed into a maid outfit and came to Meier's side to serve him, claiming to be unwell. The bird asks Tal what is going on, and Tal is at a loss, saying that Shirley has been serving him like this since Mel came here. However, after the princesses arrived at the front, Shirley rarely did so.
"God knows what she's going to do." Bird scratched his chin, "My instincts tell me that something big could happen if this continues." ”
"Is your instinct accurate?"
"I shoot all by instinct, what do you say?"
When Yan He heard this, his expression immediately became serious.
"Would you like to talk to her?"
The little bird shook her head and said with a wry smile.
"If she just wants to comfort Your Majesty, it will make her sad if we do so. Let's watch for a while, and hopefully nothing will happen. ”
Yanhe and Bird don't know about Shirley's confession to Myer, but Xiaoxiao does. If the person who came to accompany Mel was replaced by a smile, she would definitely make the right judgment at the first time. But this is not the case with Crane and Bird, because they don't have the most important information, and even if they think Shirley's behavior is suspicious, it will be difficult to make a judgment.
While the two were discussing the matter, Shirley, who was staying in Myer's room with Zhenxin and Anjie, sat quietly on the side, looking very much like her mother. Zhenxin and An Jie were so happy to chat, and casually asked Shirley, did you say, Kiki? Shirley smiled and nodded, but neither the two nor Maier realized that the person sitting in the seat was not Kiki, but Shirley, and continued to talk.
Almost......
Shirley looked at her father who was hugging her left and right with affection, and her heart beat wildly.
Wait a few more days...... Just wait a few more days...... Wait for another chance......
