In the winter of 1232 in the Bymon Empire, that is, in the winter of 1157 in the Byzantine Empire, when the winter of this year came, a great war broke out without warning between the two thousand-year-old empires on the continent of Norsenxid

The Great War was said to be without warning, but it was not at all. At least from the side of the Beamon Empire, it was a long time to prepare.

Because this battle was caused by the Beamon Empire's eastward expedition to the Byzantine Empire. Moreover, this battle was different from the large-scale harassment war carried out by the Beamon Empire on the borders of the Byzantine Empire in the past hundred years, and the Beamon Empire used as many as 450,000 troops at once. And the most important point is that the supreme ruler of the Beamon Empire, the 'Lionheart' Ioleo Reinhardt the Great, actually took the royal expedition himself.

The Bimon Empire's conquest of the Byzantine Empire was the first crusade that later historians called the 'Three Great Crusades of the Lionheart Dynasty'.

In this Eastern Crusade, the main forces used by the Beamon Empire were the Empire's Tribal Army and the Eastern Army, as well as the Empire's most elite Central Army.

In order to prevent the Northwest Mountain Giants, who had been conquered by the Empire's armed forces but were not convinced, and out of concern for the terrifying strength of the dragons living in the Sunset Mountains in the west, the Western Army of the Empire did not make the slightest move.

The huge fleet belonging to the Southern Army of the Empire, except for a third of the ships left to guard the South China Sea tribes to go ashore to take advantage of the fire and rob, the rest of the ships all went to the sea to the east and divided their forces to attack the Byzantine harbor cities to cooperate with the army's attack on land.

As for the Northern Army of the Beamon Empire, the action is a bit intriguing, except for the 60,000 troops that went south and accumulated on the north side of the frozen plateau to deter the dwarven tribes on the plateau, so as not to help Byzantium, the Northern Army only sent 30,000 troops to follow the Emperor to the east. Among them, it does not include the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment, which is now part of the Northern Army and has the title of one of the four strongest legions of the Bimon Empire.

Snowflakes began to fall in the lead-clouded sky.

Ioleo Reinhardt stood proudly on a high hill in the Central Plains with his hands behind his back, watching the endless army of orcs march eastward, his eyes flashing with a domineering spirit that reigned over the world.

Surrounding him were more than a dozen orc generals of various races, among them, the commander of the Imperial Eastern Army, the Kayla Overseer.

"Your Majesty, after the Northern Army sent 60,000 troops to deter those pesky dwarves in accordance with your will, there are still 120,000 men and horses, originally Your Majesty wanted the Northern Army to send another 80,000 horses to accompany the army, and named the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment to go to the front line of the Eastern Expedition as soon as possible, but after the Furious Wind Overseer was defeated, Your Majesty agreed to the request of the Northern Army to send only 30,000 horses to the battle, and among these 30,000 horses, there is no 'Blood Fang' Cavalry Regiment, the strongest cavalry regiment in the empire! Foolish, I don't know what your majesty is doing this?" asked Ioleo, a Rainars hippopotamus general bowing cautiously.

Aioleo's eyes were still staring at the orc army moving forward, the expression on his face did not change, and he said lightly: "Fury Feng made it very clear in the recital, although the situation on the grasslands in the northern frontier is still stable, as long as the empire goes to war against Byzantium, the remnants of the exterminated mercenary groups and the subjugated alien races on the grassland are estimated to be restless again." The grasslands of northern Xinjiang are too vast, and if there are only 40,000 people left to guard the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, he is worried that once the situation on the grasslands changes, he will be in a dilemma of not being able to divide his troops. He said that to ensure the absolute stability of the grasslands in northern Xinjiang, 90,000 people was his bottom line. In addition, the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment came and went like the wind and acted quickly, which was the biggest trump card in his hand to deal with emergencies in the northern Xinjiang grassland at the first time. ”

"Your Majesty, is that all there is to it...... You're ready for the Fury Overseer?" The Hippopotamus general apparently disagreed with this answer, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and boldly asked Ioleo again.

Two glints flashed in Ioleo's eyes, and he slowly turned his head, staring at the hippopotamus general, and said, "Not bad." It was with these words that I was able to reconcile the fury winds!Why, is there something wrong with it? Duke Davis!"

As he called out Duke Davis's name, Iorio's voice suddenly became stern.

"Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong with it, the minister should be damned, asked so much nonsense. Aware of Iorio's unkind tone, Davis was shocked and swallowed some of the words he wanted to say back into his stomach, and he fell to his knees with cold sweat on his face.

"Your Majesty, these statements of the angry wind are purely excuses. I think he regarded the Northern Army as his personal army, and he was worried that there would be big losses in this Eastern Crusade, which would affect his power, so he sent such a small number of men and horses to delay and hinder. He's just trying to be self-respecting!I think he's half-hearted!" A rough voice suddenly sounded beside Iorio, saying what Davis wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

On the high * post, all the generals had different expressions, and they were silent, for this kind of behavior of someone openly criticizing an imperial overseer in front of Emperor Beamon, everyone did not dare to express their position easily, for fear of being involved.

The politics of the empire are a deep, deep pool of water.

Iorio's face fell, and he turned his gaze to the person who spoke.

The person who spoke was a lion man, just like Ioleo the Great. He was nearly middle-aged, tall, muscular, and looked powerful, and his whole body seemed to be full of explosive power. And his appearance, if you look closely, is actually two or three points similar to the emperor.

This lion man is Ayabela, the most favored half-brother of Aeoleo the Great, the prince of the royal family and the leader of the Imperial 'Sunbreaker' legion.

"Ayabela, you are just a Tooth Commander, how can you comment on the Overseers of the Empire at will? With these rude words you say today, I can punish you in no time! For the sake of the imminent war, I will not hold you accountable for your guilt this time! When the time comes, you will kill the enemy on the battlefield for me, and you will be able to overtake it!" Ioleo shouted at Ayabela.

Although Ayabella was a prince and had a prominent title, her rank in the army was indeed inferior to that of Fury. Iorio deliberately only talked about Ayabela's rank, blaming him for the following crimes, but Ayabella could not find a reason to refute it.

In the Beamon Empire, although the title is noble, because most of them are hereditary, for the orcs who advocate bravery, they often pay more attention to the military rank promoted by military merit. Therefore, the rank promotion system of the Beamon Empire was extremely strictly regulated.

In the Beamon Empire, if a nobleman enters the military world and wants to obtain a rank that matches his title in the army, he must have real corresponding military merits, and he will not be special because he has a noble status, even if it is a royal family, it is no exception!

"But, Your Majesty...... Ayabella was not convinced, and wanted to open her mouth to say something more, but after seeing her brother's gaze staring at him more and more fierce, she knew that her brother was really angry, so she had to obediently shut her mouth.

"Back then, on the journey around the continent before I ascended the throne, I was accompanied by Fury. It was he, with his wisdom, who gave me great help during the trial, helped me overcome countless difficulties, and helped me finally complete the trial, successfully qualify for the throne, and finally ascend to the throne. At that time, when I was in danger, I trusted him even to the point of daring to risk my life!" Speaking of this, Iorio paused, slowly glanced at the generals, and said word by word: "To this day, my trust in Fury Wind is the same as it was then. ”

"In the future, if anyone dares to slander and anger in front of me, I will be severely punished!"

As the Great War between the Bimon and Byzantine Empires was about to break out, an episode of the furious winds on a hill in the Central Plains came to an end. And this little episode, the huge impact on the Beamon Empire and even the entire continent, will slowly show up after many years.

At this time, Angry Wind's friend Kayla Overseer, with a trace of worry on his face, glanced at the far north, and asked silently, "Old friend, what are you trying to do here?"
