Volume I: The Vanishing Land, Chapter 21

Maxim's first thing when he took office was to completely regain the command of the war from the church and the royal family, in fact, as early as the beginning of the war, when Blatch attacked the province of Munster, they had enough time to defend, but the dispersion of military power and the contradictions between the church and the royal family made the situation that could have been controlled deteriorate rapidly until it collapsed, so he left the military department independently and was no longer at the mercy of the church and the royal family. Then contact the Red Fortress in the Southern Continent, and ask to send troops across the Mason Forest to attack the rear of Bret, maybe Red will not trust Brett's royal family and church, but Maxim, as one of the few big families left over from the Brest Dynasty, has a lot of prestige between the two tribes, especially the Poro Legion that once dominated the continent, which made Blatter extremely jealous, but later he was unwilling to get involved in the power struggle of the dynasty and remained neutral.

Finally, he gathered a large number of breathers at the three entrances to the east and west of the Rikariwen Ridge, set up a magic circle barrier, transferred all the troops to the border of the provinces of Peritsas and Pavar to build a huge walled city, and at the same time dug a huge ravine around the Rikarriwen Ridge to channel the water of the Mingluo River into the ravine, and in just seven days, the Rika Riven Ridge was isolated by the walled cities and the water of the gully lake, forming a huge land island.

At that time, the Blatter army was very happy to see this, if they were besieged for less than a month, they would inevitably surrender without a fight due to lack of supplies, but they ignored Red in the south, because after the first continental war, Red was not invaded by Blatter's large-scale invasion, so he retained a large number of living forces, and the harsh living conditions in the southern continent also made Blatter reluctant to go, not to mention that they knew that Red and Brett had always been in the same situation, and they didn't believe that Red would send troops to save them. However, they are unaware of the unique blood ties between the same species. Even if they have different interests, if they face genocide, they will also unite and stand on the same front. The result can be imagined, the rear defense is empty, so that Red's troops are like a bamboo, Blatter began to be difficult to care about, so he ordered to storm the three major entrances, but at this time, the breather who had been in ambush for a long time exerted great power, countless magic circles and breath magic bombarded the Blat, who entered the entrance, and the strong attack lasted for a long time, and the five major army commanders of Blatter began to retreat, but at this time, the border of Pavard Province of Peritsas Province had already been ready to attack at the same time, and their seven million Blats were scattered, and they shrank from the province of Mest to the border, at this time Maxim blew the horn of counterattack, and the north and south sides of the continental coalition began to counterattack, broke through the five sanctuaries, sealed four of the legion commanders in the sanctuary, and beheaded the captains of the fifth legion, and less than half a million of the seven and a half million Brats were killed.

After this war, Blatter did not recover from this time until the Third Continental War hundreds of years later, and never stepped out of the border, which was also the first comprehensive victory of the mainland against Blatter in hundreds of years, Maxim was awarded the Continental Marshal badge and became the hero of the Tremian continent, his reputation was almost comparable to that of the ten gods, and he himself was also known as the uncrowned god.

It's just that human beings are always easy to forget their scars, when they are in peace, they will begin to become greedy and stupid, although Maxim is the hero of the whole continent during the war, once the war is over, the power in his hands begins to be coveted by the powerholders, only three years after the Second Continental War, Brett began to start a civil war with Red, although he tried his best to prevent it, but the corruption and power struggle between the church and the royal family, so that he was physically and mentally exhausted, and Maxim, who was disappointed in Brett, resigned from the post of generalissimo and no longer cared about important military and political matters, which also laid a hidden danger for the defeat of the two major tribes in the third continental war。

Maxim, who resigned from his military and political positions, did not immediately dismiss the military power, he still held the wartime command of the 350,000 elite troops of the Polo Army and the millions of troops of the military department, but at this time, the royal family and the church could not bear to have such an army under their noses that was not under their control, so they began to deliberately dismantle the military department, the most notorious of which was the Hua Hin coup, which made Maxim inexplicably saddled with trumped-up charges, but the discerning people know that the so-called Hua Hin coup is a farce directed and staged by the royal family and the church, in order to weaken the power of the military department。

Having seen everything through, Maxim could no longer stand this dirty political game, so he led his dismantled 100,000 Polo army away from Brett, intending to defend the frontier against Blatter for the rest of his life. Perhaps at this point, their wish should have been fulfilled, but the dead royal family and the church were not satisfied, and continued to slander Maxim for various reasons, and even blatantly demanded that Maxim hand over the Pola Legion, otherwise the Pola Legion would be classified as an illegal army. This move completely cooled his heart, and from the moment he withdrew from the border, it was destined that the continent would re-enter the bloody storm, because Blatter understood that as long as Maxim was at the border, they would not be able to set foot in the depths of the continent, and those nobles who were consumed by interests would not think so far, they only knew that Maxim and his army of Pyro existed for a day, and they would never be able to hold the supreme power in their own hands, even if the gap between the royal family and the church was deep, they were willing to work together to bring down this person who was called the hero of the continent。

Compared with the arrogant and ignorant Brett people, the people of Red respect this continental hero more, just when he left Brett, Red sent people to persuade him to come to the Red tribe many times, and was even willing to let him be the supreme commander of Red, that is, the archbishop, but unfortunately Maxim, who was already disheartened, did not have the heart to participate in these anymore, but said to the then Bishop of Red that if one day the continent fell into crisis again, he would choose Red, but now, he just wanted to live in seclusion in the market alone, and live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, but unfortunately until the end of the Third Continental War, Maxim and his Polo army did not appear。

Since the defeat of the two major tribes in the Third Continental War, the Brett Church found him in a small town on the border, but at this time he was dying of old age, no longer galloping on the continent, and making a living by selling food, which is embarrassing. The Brett Church demanded that all priests not reveal any information about Marshal Maxim, and the once uncrowned god of the continent disappeared into history.

"Why did His Excellency Ai Ling suddenly care about the marshal?" It stands to reason that the people of Red don't know that the church has found Marshal Maxim, it has been decades since he was discovered, according to the age of the mainland, he should be more than seven hundred years old at this time, although the life span of the awakened is much longer than that of ordinary people, but at this time, Maxim has already stepped into the ghost gate with one foot, and I didn't expect that there are still people who remember him.

"You know, there is a special aura flowing among the Awakened, and I can still feel his breath as long as he is alive. Ai Ling said casually: "What's more, he is Maxim, you guys are too underestimate this continent marshal." ”

Taylor didn't understand what Ai Ling meant, but he knew that the oracle in front of him was also an awakened guardian, which made him a little surprised, there are only a handful of known awakened people in the world today, and Ai Ling made no secret of his identity and surprised him, but then he figured out that this was a demonstration, he was Brett's envoy, and behind him was the Brett Sacrifice Church, which Ai Ling meant to tell him that there was not only one awakened person in Red.

"Grandpa, I want a piece of kuhl bread. Far away in the town of Utu, northwest of Brett, a little girl, covered in dirt, stood at the bread counter, her petite body not yet as tall as the counter, her eyes staring at the purple curtis petal-flavored bread on the counter.

"Little girl, this loaf of bread is a copper coin. A hoarse voice came from behind the cupboard, and a burly, white-haired old man trembled open the window, took out the bread and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you, grandpa, for you. She took out a copper coin from her tattered sleeve and handed it to the old man, smiled and took the bread and left, driving the little girl away, the old man inadvertently showed a kind smile, turned back to his rattan chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunshine.

"The chief of the Brett Praetorian Guard, Tlin, see the generalissimo. Suddenly, a group of people dressed in dark blue Praetorian uniforms appeared in this small shop, and the small room suddenly became solemn and oppressive.

"You've mistaken someone. The old man closed his eyes, said angrily, and waved his hand to let them go.

"The subordinates were ordered to ask the generalissimo to move to the fortress and relieve the ridge of the difficulty. "Tlyn and all the Praetorian Guards knelt down on one knee, sword in front, and bowed their heads for their lives.

"I said, you have recognized the wrong person, you can go. As he spoke, the white silk hanging from his temples floated slightly, and everyone in the room seemed to be pushed out of the room with a wall, and then slammed, and the door slammed.

"The mainland is going to be chaotic again, but my old bones can't help tossing. The old man said to himself, leaning on his cane by the wicker chair, and staggered into another room, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
