"Smack!" Field Marshal Kyle Mencius threw a newspaper on the ground.

There were as many as eight people standing in front of him, all of them soldiers. The highest rank is brigadier general, and the lowest is also a major, either a magician, or a member of the so-called elite bureaucratic group, outsiders seem to be the elite of the elite, but at this moment, they are all as quiet as cicadas, and they dare not take a breath.

After a while, the brigadier general, who was about forty years old, picked up the newspaper tremblingly, only to see the headline on the front page, "The monster of the rose coat of arms invades the port of Gloren."

Does this title sound familiar? He pondered for a moment before realizing that this was already the title of the previous week.

"So, can you find someone to seal this stupid newspaper for me?" Marshal Mencius's voice was calm, and the expression on his face did not fluctuate, and there was even a faint smile.

"Well, Headmaster, may I ask what's the problem?" Seeing that His Excellency the Marshal was smiling, the brigadier general felt that maybe the problem was not so serious, so he also squeezed out a smile.

The new Grand Magister of the Learned Alliance, who served as the chairman of the National Defense Committee in the Emergency Committee, completely bypassed the Ministry of Military Affairs and took over all the military affairs of the Federation de jure, and now at the peak of his life, Marshal Mencius, looked at his chief lieutenant, and naturally felt sick to his stomach.

He really wanted to kill the other party with a fireball, but considering that the other party was a high-achieving student who graduated from Dugubao Military Academy after all, he was also his proud protégé when he was a student. Although he is not bald, has never pretended to be a holy spear nun, and has not been poisoned, he still has to maintain the character of "loyal elders and good principals" in front of so many people, so he just sighed with hatred.

He left the desk, walked slowly to the other party, stared at the other party for a few seconds, and didn't say a word, until the brigadier general began to break out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said: "Learn, students will do it immediately!" ”

The brigadier general was about to leave, but a colonel next to him suddenly remembered something at this time, and hurriedly said: "But, but, headmaster, the Elichar Times is the property of Dandy Lane's family?" ”

The marshal was also silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Then let Daren Dandy Lane come over and talk to me personally!" ”

After all, the Federation is also a country of mages, and the Archmage of Mencius, who has already worn the fifth arcane star, can of course use "roll" to the second person in the current emergency committee (nominal), the federal treasurer. However, as soon as these words came out, the restless adjutants below him wanted to get out of the way.

Mencius looked out the window, at the floating island floating in the corner of the sky, and at the solemn Dugu Fort standing above, and suddenly became angry again. He has been the headmaster of this fortress disguised as a military school for decades, and it should have been the soul sanctuary where he dreamed of setting sail, but now it has become the source of his headaches.

"Also, ask Halda Dandy Lane if he's going to keep that thing going to hold her alive for the next century? A full 5,000 people, with the cooperation of warships, attacked a lonely city with only about 300 soldiers and a group of student babies, but let the family hold on for half a month! It's 5,000 pigs, and they have knocked down the city wall with arches, right? ”

In fact, the person in charge of the assault on Fort Dugu is now Major Demos Alfonso, who is also the cousin of the chief of the gendarmerie, Admiral Halda Dandillane. Of course, it is not necessary to have the same knowledge as a small major as Marshal Mencius, but if the object is the descendant of the Dandelion family who holds the power, then it must be greatly considered.

It began, could this be the beginning of an all-out struggle between the Mencius family and the Dandy Lane family? The adjutants were sweating profusely.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you get out of here and get to work?"

Hearing this, they were relieved and hurried out as they wished.

"I actually believed the nonsense of that drunkard prodigal in the dandelion family!" Marshal Mencius sat in the empty office and sighed heavily.

Halda told himself that letting his army quickly pacify Dugu Fort and punish a group of "traitors" would establish a certain degree of authority among the citizens of Elichar and stabilize the security situation in the capital city of Osortian. This is certainly important for the Emergency Committee, which is in dire need of legitimacy and diplomatic justification.

I have to admit that what Halda said has a point. Moreover, although the bigwigs of the Gate Valve Sect still have some doubts about whether they want to completely tear their faces with the Colorful Rose, it has been determined that Arantis hiding in Dugu Castle is the target who must be executed. After all, this man is Russell's best friend, and as long as he is alive, he is a disaster.

…… However, no one has ever said what if the small Dugu Fort stands for several days or even more than ten days under the strategy of its own superior army?

Yes, before the start of the battle, no one would have thought that with only a few hundred defenders, and a third of them were learned, Dugu Fort could hold out for so long under the attack of ten times the defenders. But in fact, that's exactly what happened. As a result, for more than half a month, the citizens of Elichar spent their time with the close artillery fire and shouting. They had gone through the initial panic, then the trembling, then the cautious and covert observation, and finally the development of the present, they were at ease. It feels like the shouting of the vegetable seller every day, as if it has become a part of life.

Many stupid and bold citizens even ran to a high place where they could directly witness the battlefield to watch the whole process, as if they were watching a real version of a war blockbuster. They looked at the Sky Rose Banner that was still flying on the main tower of Dugu Castle, and under the siege of thousands of enemy troops, they actually had a kind of pride that was left behind and independent. As a result, the military academy, which was still resisting, suddenly became the home team of the citizens. They gathered on the hill and the tower to cheer for Dugu Fort, and every time the noble coalition had to retreat, they also cheered and applauded, and then went to drink and celebrate in groups.

That scene was as if our army reversed a certain universe team 4-0 every day.

The gendarmes in charge of law and order in the capital and the newly organized Discipline Inspection Commission tried to stop these acts, but they did not send supplies or organize volunteers to participate in the war. After all, we can't expect the security forces organized by the Emergency Committee with ruffians to really take responsibility one by one.

All in all, for the big names of the Emergency Committee, the fortress hanging in the sky is really a copper pea that can't be steamed and cooked, and more importantly, they are all about to be tortured out of mental illness by themselves in the quilt day and night.

And that's not the only bad thing, not even the bad thing. After all, although Dugu Fort couldn't be attacked, everyone didn't think that the three or five hundred people inside could really counterattack Elichar.

During this time, Field Marshal Mencius did not stay in the city, but personally went to put in order the 1st and 2nd Corps, which had just surrendered to the Emergency Committee. After all, this is a powerful military force of more than 50,000 people, as long as the internal die-hard Qing school officers are cleansed, and then some people who know the times make official wishes and throw a little money or something by the way, they can still use it for themselves for a while. This work was important to the Emergency Committee, and even more so to Mencius himself, and he certainly couldn't have left it to anyone else.

Overall, the work went well. Most of the officers are still very knowledgeable about current affairs. However, when the marshal returned to Elichar and asked the adjutants to bring the newspapers of the past few days, the good mood of the past was suddenly gone.

What is "The Monster of the Rose Crest Invades Port Gloren"?

Mencius didn't think there was anything wrong with the media insulting Lu Xi as a "rose monster". Anyway, when that man finally took the olive branch sent by the gatekeeper and burned it as firewood, and showed up in Port Gloren to declare in front of the public that he was going to crusade against the "State of Emergency Committee, a national thief", it would be impossible for everyone to be good.

He was angry that the media had blown out this kind of thing at this time. The important signal conveyed is not some kind of monster invasion or anything like that, but Lucy Ringo Berencaster, the number one idol in the minds of the young people of the Federation, the lord of the Isle of Colorful Roses, the conqueror of Orgrimmar, the first hero of the country and the first god of war, showing that he and the current rulers of Elichar are incompatible.

The circulation of the Elichar Times also has hundreds of thousands of copies, and since he saw it, and he delayed it for more than ten days, it means that almost the entire Federation has seen it.

How many people will be shaken by this? How many people have different minds? And the enemies who are resisting, will not their morale be high, and the morale of the army will be greatly boosted?

The defenders in Fort Dugu will continue to resist, the "rebels" who are unwilling to obey the emergency committee will strengthen their confidence, and the undercurrents hidden in Elichar will probably start to surge, right?

…… Yes, Maklov's guy hasn't been found yet, and most of the secret veterans stationed abroad in the Field Service Department have also lost their traces. It's scary to think about!

However, my lieutenants can't figure it out and need to be reminded of such a simple truth. These are all top students in military schools.

Again, it's such a simple truth, my idiots don't understand, and neither do the fox eyes of Dandy Lane's family?

Thinking of this, Marshal Mencius felt that it was really necessary to have a good chat with the people of the Dandelion family.

He got up and prepared to go to the gendarmerie headquarters. Compared with Treasurer Darlan, the old bureaucrat who knows how to play haha all the time, although Halda's cowherd prodigal is also very cunning, he is much easier to communicate, at least he can still talk about some dry goods.

Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as the marshal left his chair, he heard a voice from outside the office.

"Hey, Headmaster, may I come in?"

This is exactly the voice of the director of the gendarmerie, Admiral Halda Dandilane. This guy is now also a part-time deputy commander of the military order, and has officially become the number two person in the military (on the side of the Emergency Committee). Of course, he was only forty years old, and he had also studied a short-term course at the Dugubao Military Academy back then, so there was no problem at all in calling Marshal Mencius "headmaster".

Before the marshal could speak, Halda Dandillane had already walked into the office, still with a playful smile on his face, and said, "I heard, Headmaster, that you are going to ban the Elichar Times?" ”

"Oh, you're not going to intercede, are you?"

"The paparazzi tabloid disguised as an authoritative regular media? Well, their editor-in-chief is indeed my cousin, but every day he is as dignified as a peacock with inverted feathers, and he has established himself as a great writer and university scholar even though he has not published any influential works, and he actually has the face to hang a professorship at Central University. I have been a professor for ten years, and I have not attended a hundred classes, but the fragrant female students have taken at least a hundred. You want to pack this up, and I don't mind. Halda said with a smile.

The marshal looked at each other expressionlessly.

"It's just that I don't count what I said, and I don't even count what my brother said. You have to know, after all, that guy is famous, beautiful and can speak well, and the old men above are quite appreciative, and he can be regarded as the head of the royal literati we have raised. The Elichar Times has always been regarded as the mouthpiece of our group, and if it is really shut down like this, I don't know what even more terrible rumors will spread. ”

Marshal Mencius remained expressionless, not utter a word, and kept staring at each other coldly.

“…… Hey, I've already said it, it's not my business. Someone will come and talk to you afterwards. Of course, there will definitely be necessary rectifications. ”

The implication is that the seal must not be sealed.

This is actually quite understandable. Even if it's your own dog, if it's very favored by the old lady and the old man in the family, you don't mean that you can smoke it casually, right?

"Also, that's not what I'm coming to you today...... Don't look at me like that, your Excellency, of course it's all good news, and there are several. First, the actions of our main fleet were going well, and the first fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Drake Eurentian, had successfully quelled the rebellion in the provinces on the east coast. The Second Squadron also defeated the rebels in the battle of Kitatakamagahara Province and killed the bandit leader Linden. As for Admiral Faneuil personally commanding the mobile fleet, he has also reorganized and set off, calculating the time, and should have arrived at the Hillren Sky Corridor by now. Probably before tomorrow, you will be able to take full control of the Daroshur Fortress. ”

The marshal nodded noncommittally.

"In addition, according to the information just received, the Fourth Legion in Steelbrier Castle had not been opened until the night before yesterday, and was still in the hands of Aemon Wilambart. In this way, in any case, it is impossible for them to seize Daroshur before the main force of our army. ”

"That's probably good news." The marshal said coldly: "However, can your lord tell me where Lu Xi Berenkast is now?" He had appeared in Port Gloren on the 16th, two weeks earlier, and with the speed of a bluebird, he should have reached Iron Rose Castle a long time ago, right? ”

"You can't be embarrassed for me, Headmaster, if we can really grasp his whereabouts so easily, there is no need to flatter and lick people's riding boots before. But as a result, hey...... It's really hard to put into words! ”

"Any other news?" The marshal interrupted the other side. The attitude of the leaders of the gate valve faction towards Lu Xi at the beginning was to curry favor and bribe him, and he himself was one of the supporters, and we all know the result.

Licking to the end is not good to die, it must be the pain of all licking dogs' lives, right?

"Second, Major Alfonso told me that he had prepared a more adequate plan for the attack, and that he would be able to take Fort Dugu within three days."

What the hell is this good news? That elite cousin of yours already said that two weeks ago.

"I gave him a day. Tomorrow this time, if the disgusting Rose Banner still flies over Dugu Castle, if the head of Arantis Nachis is not delivered to my office, I will ask for him. The marshal said.

"Okay, if it doesn't work, I'll send his head over myself." Halda laughed, "As for the third...... We can already establish the whereabouts of Maklov, who is still in Elichar. ”
