Chapter 21 The Situation on the Mainland
"O Midgar...... It was a long journey, and I think it took four or five days to get from Silva to East County, so you don't have a lot of time. ”
Xia Lei didn't ask Chu Ge about the purpose of going to Dongjun, in her opinion, the biggest possibility was that the young man wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to meet distant relatives or something.
She seemed to have forgotten that the boy was an orphan.
Although Xia Lei didn't react much, Karina's expression changed, and she frowned worriedly, as if she was afraid of something, and she couldn't help but think of the night lilac that was easy to wither.
"Ino, you didn't tell us before that you were going to Dongjun first."
Not only Karina, but Yuu also has this problem.
Chu Ge pressed his temples, and somehow had a headache, but fortunately, at this time Xia Lei spoke:
"Are you worried about him? In fact, there is no need at all, although the East County is located on the edge of the empire, bordering the Hutton Federation, and the relationship between Arkaya and the Hutton Federation has become more and more tense in recent years, but due to the terrain, the possibility of war in Midgar is very low, unless the entire East County falls, otherwise he will not be in any danger. ”
After hearing Xia Lei's words, Karina and Youcai were a little relieved.
Because neither of them has been far away, and they don't know much about East County, they are illiterate in terms of geography, and they don't know the special features of Midgar, only that the entire East County is close to the Hutton Federation, and the rumors of local wars have never stopped, so I was very worried before.
Chu Ge added with a smile: "Although the nobles of the empire are corrupt, the strength of the border army is still quite strong, if it really comes to the moment when war breaks out, it is not certain who invades, and even if the empire is really weaker than the Hutton Federation, the army can definitely support the civilians to flee from the East County." ”
What Xia Lei said before was all true, but what Chu Ge said just now was pure lies!
It's just that none of the three people in front of him will think that he is lying, no, it should be said, most of the people of the whole of Arcaya are still immersed in a delusion.
- If it weren't for the series of events that broke out twenty years ago, maybe Arcaya's iron cavalry would have stepped into the territory of the Hutton Federation and flaunted their might!
- Even though the empire is now in decline, its strength will definitely not be weaker than that of the Hutton Federation!
This ridiculous delusion has always remained in the minds of the people of the Empire, and even among those who can see the situation clearly, there are a considerable number of people who still have luck in their hearts, and also believe that the Empire is capable of survival and has the power to fight a war.
In fact, because the concept of governance and rule of the Hutton Federation tends to be peaceful, and is unwilling to take the initiative to start a war, it has always given the world the illusion of "weakness", and has never shown its true strength!
In the last few hundred years, the Terrans have gradually become the most powerful race on the continent of Orlanka through their own advantages, such as the Arcaya Empire, which is a country ruled purely by humans, occupying a vast land, and is the largest country on the entire continent.
As one of the several large powers on the continent of Orlanca, the Hutton Federation occupies the east coast and center of the continent, and is the richest power on the entire continent, bordering the Alcaya Empire in the far west.
The Hutton Federation is a parliamentary republic that has grown to its present size since the tumultuous years were formed by a combination of weakened races.
The highest ruling body of the Hutton Federation is the Glen Council, which has the absolute right to speak in the entire Federation, and the members of the Glenn Council are divided into three classes, the highest is a first-class member, and there are seven members, and now the seven are a giant, an elf, two high-class goblins, two humans, and an orc.
Although the other races of the Federation have complained about this distribution, they have to admit the contributions made by humans and high land elves in the development of the Hutton Federation, so they also acquiesce to this distribution method.
Originally, the dwarves had one of the seven, but with the fall of the dwarves, the seats were replaced by the orcs who joined later, so that the distribution of the seven places has continued to this day.
Different from the rule of Alcaya, which oppressed civilians by force, the Hutton Federation has developed in an all-round way in terms of economy, military, science and technology, and even art and culture, and various races are interdependent and exchange and develop, which has given birth to its own unique cultural concepts.
Because there is no real leader to stand up, even if the Federation has great strength, some dirty ambitions have never been realized, and everyone has guarded the peace, and there has never been a war of expansion abroad.
However, because of the agitation of the conspirators, there has been constant friction between Alkaya and the Hutton Federation, and the accumulated conflict has reached its extreme twenty years ago, and the powerful Alkaya is ready to move, and war is about to break out!
If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty the Pope Sylvia stepped forward and single-handedly quelled all the discord, eradicated the source of the trouble, and forced the two countries to shake hands and make peace, the mainland would probably have been devastated.
This oppressive peace has been maintained until now, and the disappearance of Pope Sylvia has also rekindled the fire of ambition among some people, who are planning storms!
In the previous life, the second Winter Veil Festival spent by Chu Ge after coming to Orlanca, a fierce military conflict finally broke out in Dongjun, and both sides seemed to have been gearing up for a long time, and they coincidentally dispatched their strongest legions, and there was a fierce battle, and then-
The ace legion of the Arcaya Empire [Verdict], a knight order with an average strength above the third order, a total of three hundred people,
All staff, no life is still alive!!
For the first time, the horrors of the Federal Legion are truly unfolded in front of the world!
Of course, in order to achieve this result, the Hutton Federation also paid a rather heavy price, but the harvest was also obvious, and the whole of Arcaya's pathetic vanity was punctured fiercely!
In fact, Chu Ge guessed that even if a war really broke out twenty years ago, the Arkaya Empire would not be able to take advantage of it, and it was proud enough to be able to make a draw.
Because in his previous life, as a spy, he infiltrated the Barka Institute, the most special institution of the Hutton Federation, and witnessed the terrifying background of the Hutton Federation, and said unceremoniously that if the power of the Federation is in the hands of one person, then that person has the power to spread death to the entire continent!
More on the Barka Institute, but for now, let's turn our attention to the humble tavern in the small town of Brewell.
