Rus Medici was appointed military minister and was given the power to call on the lords of all regions to go on expeditions, lead troops to suppress rebellions, and go to the steppes to deal with the barbarians.

The political situation in the imperial capital immediately underwent earth-shaking changes.

For the sake of peace and the future of the empire, the Grand Duke of Medici devoted himself to the military, and was not interested in participating in the struggle in the court, ignoring the imperial nobles who had lost their fiefdoms, and even more so the central nobles who fought against the emperor.

Because there is no point in doing so.

The imperial domain belonged to the emperor, and the central part was under the administration of the imperial family.

The emperor wanted to take back the rights and fiefs of the nobles of the two places, and as the Grand Duke of the East, Bruce Medici was not qualified to take care of it.

You can't stretch your hands too long!

If the emperor and the central emperor are to deal with the major territories?

There is no way that the East will sit still.

The south, west, north, and snowy regions will also unite, and then a normal emperor will govern the empire!

Ripping off in the court......

Pointless!

As the letter was sent to the south, west, northland, and snowy regions, the great lords who received the letter gathered their troops and horses to respond.

Before you know it, it's late August.

After preparing the factory, Langton also bought enough food and grass to provide for the Northland troops, and sent weapons and armor produced by the Chamber of Commerce.

Isabella, Tywin, Woodford, and a number of Northland nobles also led their armies south.

Assemble in the middle of the town!

Dowling and Chris also went south with the army.

The nobles he knew had already gone on the expedition, and the acting city lord who stayed in the port of Stuart had only a few acquaintances and was not familiar with him.

Also in charge of the logistics of the Grand Army, Ranton cannot return to Rock Island or Craig Town.

He devoted himself to the construction of the factory and the management of the chamber of commerce.

In fact, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, as long as the trade business is calculated well, and the accounts are good, there will be basically no problems, and the workers who are delegated to various territories are basically working in peace, and the busy spring plowing is over, and now they only need to take care of the crops.

If we grasp the general direction, the Chamber of Commerce will not have problems.

Even if something goes wrong.

Magic and supernatural powers can be solved!

At this time, Klein Mancini, who stayed in Stuart Harbor and temporarily acted as the city lord, hurriedly came to the door and asked, "Gabry, do you still have 2,000 soldiers training in Craig Town?"

Langton stopped what he was doing and nodded, "Yes." ”

"But after those recruits finish their training, they have to serve as a reserve to escort the grain and grass south, what's the matter?"

Klein Mancini nodded: "Duchess Isabella has sent a letter saying that the Romanov family in the snowy region did not lead the army to the south to assemble. ”

"I hope you can take someone on a trip to the snowy region to find the Romanov family. ”

"Inform them to go south. ”

“......”

Langton was a little speechless: "Why did you let me go?"

"Wouldn't it be better for you to go?"

Klein Mancini: "We can't leave our homes, we can't send too many men, and you can take the recruits with you." ”

"Going to the snowy region to find a member of the Romanov family?"

Isabella, Tywin, Woodford, father and son, and the nobles of the Northlands have gathered 20,000 men and horses to move south, taking with them eighty percent of the current Northlanders' forces, and the remaining forces are to defend Stuart Harbor and Black Rock Fort.

The snowy area is not small, and after many barbarian invasions, the nobles and people of the snowy region have taken refuge in the mountains.

It's not easy to find the Romanovs!

The intention of bringing the recruits was obviously to ask him to escort the logistics supplies south in advance.

"Okay, I'll take over the work and leave tomorrow. ”

Because of the stormy weather at sea in summer and autumn, the Chamber of Commerce reduced the number of ships sailing. So, instead of returning to Craig by boat as usual, Langton rode overland instead.

This will also allow you to take a closer look at several territories along the way.

The empire has reached the stage of population expansion.

If it weren't for a bad life, the Augustians who believed in the creator god wouldn't have easily changed their faith, and if they hadn't survived, they wouldn't have had the audacity to rebel.

Having experienced life and death on the battlefield, the prisoners of war cherished a stable life very much.

The farms and plantations here are in good condition.

You can't afford to delay your trip to the snowy region for too long.

After a cursory look at the situation, Langton also hurried back to the base camp of the Chamber of Commerce.

......

......

The 2,000 new recruits were trained by Sir Mark Towne, who was now directly loyal to the Duchess Isabella Stuart, and was full of regret that he could not go directly to the battlefield, and received news from Lanton.

Born into a family of knights, Mark Towne was resolute, and when he heard that he had set out early, he immediately asked the recruits to pack their things.

Langton, who still wanted to be lazy, was a little embarrassed.

It's not a cold winter, but the rainy season is even more uncomfortable!

The soldiers were heavily armed and carried food and grass supplies, because the northland was now short of war horses, and the speed was even slower.

"Cover the tarpaulin that covers the grain and grass!"

"Don't let the food get wet!"

From the Sharp Blade River to the west, to the central part of the boat and disembarked, through the Black Rock Mountains and the Western Plains, the rain-drenched Langton finally entered the snowy region.

"Master Mark, how long will it be before we can find shelter from the rain?"

"If this continues, the grain will be thrown away!"

Mark Towne, who was also drenched in soup, shook his head and sighed: "I'm not familiar with this side of the snowy region......"

"Otherwise, the last battle on the plains would have had me. ”

Finished!

Let two people who don't know the way come to the snowy region, can they really find the members of the Romanov family who are hiding in the snowy mountains?

Langton asked, "How far is the nearest city?"

Mark Donn smiled wryly: "The map is wet. ”

"I can't see ...... clearly"

Are you kidding?

Langton's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "As the commander of the soldiers, Sir Donn, are you a little sloppy?"

Mark Towne's face flushed: "I didn't expect the rain to be so heavy. ”

"Even the backpack got wet. ”

Langton didn't want to dwell on him on this topic, so he asked after a deep thought, "Then how do we find the members of the Romanov family?"

"Just go into the mountains and look for it?"

Mark sighed again: "I can't think of a good way. ”

"But... Gabry, don't you know how to fly?"

"You let me fly up to the sky to find it?" Lan Don wanted to hit someone, "No, flying too high in such a thunderstorm will be struck by lightning, I won't die!"

"Flying low is also dangerous!"

Mark's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Gabry, the duchess asked us to find the members of the Romanov family. ”

"Even if it's windy, rainy, thunder and lightning, we must complete the mission!"

This is irrefutable.

"When the thunder doesn't stop, I'll fly to the sky to see the situation, and if I want to find someone so quickly, I'll find the nearest city at most, and then ask for information about the Romanov family. ”

"That's it. ”

Satisfied with his character and abilities, Mark Donn waited for the thunder and lightning to dissipate and the rain to lighten, and it didn't take long for Langton to find the nearest city.

Because of the barbarian invasion, the towns and villages in the snowy region have become empty.

It seems that they have all taken refuge in the mountains.

So, in a big city, let the soldiers live.

The rain became lighter, and then the thunder became heavier and heavier, and the wind blew violently, blowing the flagpole to the ground.

"The storm is coming. ”

Before the broken window, Lan Dun, who was looking at the rain, had a complicated look.

This trip to the south, the Grand Duke of the Eastern Territory brought the soldiers and horses of the South, West, Northland, and Snow to attack the believers and rebel, no matter whether they win or lose, Loki and Ares must take the opportunity to plant the root of the trouble, and when the army goes north out of the grassland, the hidden danger will suddenly erupt!

It is in the best interest of oneself to stay in the waters off the Northland and develop in the open sea.

But the plan can't keep up with the changes......

was forced to participate in the war, the four islands off the coast of Northland could not be recovered, the Far North was not able to be attacked, and the trade route did not have time to be built.

It's too much to lose!

However, it is useless to go to war now and still think about these things.

To be a man, you must know how to be flexible!

Ensure that there are no problems in the construction of Rock Island, the business development of the Chamber of Commerce, and the opening of factories, and maintain the accumulated military strength without decreasing.

It is also time to consider how to benefit from war.

Meritorious Langton is not thinking about it.

Because of Loki and Ares behind them, these two wars must be very tragic, and there will definitely be no fewer deaths, and there are big nobles from all over the world, and the great credit belongs to them, and then it is the turn of the next level of nobles and knights.

So, how can you reap the benefits if you don't make a contribution in battle?

As a military quartermaster and grain and grass pipe, logistics management will not be chaotic.

When the war is over, there is basically no merit or fault.

But after winning, there is no great achievement, and if you lose, you may not get anything!

Maybe......

I should have taken the caravan with the army.

Learn from a certain vendor group!

......

......

After a day's rest, the rainstorm finally passed.

After resting, Langton and Mark also entered the snowy mountains with 2,000 recruits.

The snowy mountains stretch for hundreds of miles.

The range is very large, from the snowy area to the outside of the plug.

Even though it's summer, the verdant greenery and vegetation have been restored, and it's no longer the white expanse of winter, and it's not easy for Landon and Carrie to fly into the sky with their telekinesis, and it's not easy to find a place for the Snowy People to live.

However, at breakfast, noon and dusk.

He finally found the smoke!

"Hello, I'm Gabriel Langton from the Northlands, and I'm sending a message to the Archduke Romanoff. ”

"I wonder if you can introduce me to me?"

Landed in front of the humble village in the mountains, Langton did not rush in, and took out the letters of the Grand Duke of the East and the Duchess Isabella.

The villagers who were cooking heard the movement and immediately reported the news to the village chief.

"How do you prove your identity?"

Because of the barbarian invasion, the snowy army was completely wiped out, and the nobles lost their resistance power, which directly led to a large number of civilians being killed and captured and enslaved.

Langton used his telekinesis to control the letter as it was handed over.

"You are the emperor's minister and the representative of the Grand Duke of the Northland?"

The village chief was wary of Langton as he scanned the letters, and then asked in confusion, "Why is the Grand Duke of Northland a woman's name?"

"Archduke Edgar Stuart was killed in battle. ”

"Died in battle in the Western Plains. ”

Langton explained, "Now the Duchess of Northland is the youngest daughter of the former Grand Duke. ”

"The Western Plains?"

Hearing this, the village chief frowned and asked, "I know where the plain is, why did the Grand Duke of the Northland die in battle on the plain?"

"Because I want to help you deal with the barbarians. Langton sighed: "But because of the appearance of traitors, the army of 50,000 was attacked from both sides, and the heaviest army was annihilated. ”

The village chief nodded: "I've heard about this, and I also know that there is a strange fog disaster in your northland. ”

"I'm not going to take you to the duke. ”

"Because you have traitors in the Northlands, and I can't tell who you are. ”

Having said so much, you actually came to such a sentence?

Playing with me?

Langton's heart is full of wheat husks!

Although he was unhappy, he was not angry about it, after all, he needed the help of these people to find the Romanov family, otherwise with such a large area of snowy mountains, more than 2,000 of them might not be able to find it for several months.

Moreover, this illustrates a very important issue.

There have also been traitors among the Snowy People!

When flying in the sky to search, Carrie and Langton act together and find the village, Landon comes down to negotiate, and Carrie flies back to inform Mark and the others.

With the sound of heavy footsteps, two thousand heavily armed recruits came outside the village.

Seeing the banner of the Northland Stuart family, the village chief's defense did not decrease in the slightest, and the hand holding the saber scabbard turned white with force.

"Snow Bear Knife?"

When Mark Down came to Lanton's side, he recognized the old saber in the village chief's hand.

Then explain to Langton: "The Snow Bear Knife is the saber of the Snowy Officer. ”

"I'm Mark Donn, from the Southeastern Northlands, and I'm loyal to the Craigs. ”

"We have asked to see the Grand Duke Romanov, I wonder if Your Excellency can introduce us?"

The village chief glanced at Mark Towne and the two thousand heavily armed recruits, then looked at the flying Langton and muttered for a moment, "I don't believe you, and I don't know where the Grand Duke Romanov is. ”

"Please forgive me for the simplicity of the village, which can't accommodate so many of you, so please leave. ”

Hearing this, Mark immediately frowned: "Your Excellency, we have been ordered by the Minister of War to come to the Grand Duke Romanov to send troops to suppress the rebellion and deal with the barbarians. ”

"You didn't report and drove us away......"

"Is it to make the Grand Duke of Romanov defy the Empire's call for war?"

He's not as talkative as Langton, he must have a big hat on, and he will do it whenever he hears a rejection again!

The village chief, who had been an officer, knew what the Empire's call for war was all about, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I can report it, but you can't enter the village." ”

Mark Donn immediately drew his sword and pointed it at him: "Who do you think you are?!"

"We trekked through mountains and rivers to the snowy region, and we were still looking for people in the mountains, all to inform the Grand Duke to respond to the call of the Empire, and you didn't even give you a place to rest?"

"Are you the master of the snowy land?"

"No..."Facing the menacing Mark, the village chief shook his head: "I can't represent the snowy region, but I, Joseph Korovin, can represent this village." ”

"Joseph Korovin?"

"Korovin?" Mark became a little stunned, "Your Excellency is the Earl of the Snowy Forest Fortress?"

"I'm Joseph Korovin, yes, but I'm not the Count of the Castle of Changlin. The village chief's hand holding the scabbard was even harder: "The long forest has been destroyed, the fortress has fallen, where is the qualification to become a count." ”

...... To be continued......
