Chapter 209: All over the country
Austin Empire, Ganda City, City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord of Gandao City still bowed his head and reviewed the mountains of documents, and the staff on the side kept running inside and out, hurriedly sorting out the new documents that had to be approved by the city lord before putting them on the table.
The documents approved by the city lord were just picked out of a large pile, but they still filled the entire desktop.
The staff has worked under the Gandao City Lord for many years, and in addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, they are more friends, so this staff member is not afraid to break his thoughts in front of the Gandao City Lord.
"Oops! It's really busy! This pre-war troop deployment, left-behind troop allocation, family pacification plan, etc., a lot of things! His Majesty the Seventh declared war with one sentence, but he was busy killing these people under us. The staff complained.
The city lord of Gandao glanced at the other party, and the corners of his mouth grinned.
"You guy, you're talking more and more out of proportion. Your Majesty's order is also questioned, be careful that one day I will hang you up and whip a hundred lashes! The city lord of Gandao joked, but his hands kept opening the documents and signing again.
"Since our leader said that this is a 'defense war that takes the initiative', then even if we are aggressing, we must shout the slogan of 'defense war'! These people under us don't have to think too much, they don't have to think too much. ”
……
Austin Empire, Imperial Capital.
It was supposed to be a calm morning.
In the imperial capital, a piercing flute suddenly sounded!
All the people in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital were so shocked that they put down their work and looked at the sound that came from the voice.
Most of the people who were born and raised in the imperial capital knew this piercing flute, which was a phrase left by Austin I.
"When this resounded in the imperial capital, it was the time when the Austin Empire once again faced a challenge!"
This was an alarm signal created by Austin I, but almost everyone in the imperial capital had not heard this alarm sound. It is said that the alarm went off twice.
The first time was when Austin I was set up to test the use of the sound.
The second was the division of the Austin Empire, which was one of the five empires that it is today.
This is the third time!
Although the people in the imperial capital had not heard this piercing flute, they knew from the mouths of the elders that it was the alarm of a major event in the empire!
After hearing the alarm, everyone in the imperial capital consciously came to the periphery of the Austin Palace.
Where, there is a high platform, and on the high platform, Austin VII has long overlooked the people who are gradually surrounding him!
Today's Austin VII wears silver armor, a long sword hanging from his waist inlaid with red gems, and a red cloak fluttering in the wind behind his back.
Looking down at the people below, Austin VII nodded to Owen, who was hovering beside him.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Austin VII's voice spread to every part of the imperial capital with Owen's magic.
All the people in the imperial capital looked up at the leader on the high platform in the sky.
"I'm Austin Dahl." Austin VII said slowly, his voice deep and powerful.
"We are here today to announce one ......."
……
At the same time, the same scene was playing out throughout the Austin Empire.
On top of the high-rise buildings of Gandao City and the City Lord's Mansion, the Gandao City Lord overlooks the people gathered below.
"To the east of our country! The Ryan Empire has gathered forces several times our size! The blade is pointed at us! We can't choose! The Ateo Empire will definitely not be able to resist in the face of such a powerful force! ”
……
The town of Batu and the mayor stood at a table and shouted to the townspeople who surrounded him in all directions.
"Instead of waiting for the Iteo Empire to be wiped out and it will be our turn next, it is better to unite with the Iteo Empire now and fight the enemy together!"
……
Austin Frontier, Hult City, City Guard Garrison.
The captain officer with three six-pointed stars on his shoulders stood on the high platform and drew his long sword towards the soldiers below.
"Our Austin Empire's reluctance to start a war does not mean that we are afraid of the enemy! The one who offended me Austin......"
"Die!" The captain officer raised his sword and shouted at the sky.
The soldiers below shouted and shouted.
"Die!"
……
Within a day, the entire Austin Empire launched a declaration of battle, and the enthusiasm of the people of the Empire was high due to the efforts of the Imperial officials.
The garrison generals of the major city guards also announced battle orders to the soldiers, and the young soldiers who were eager to establish meritorious deeds responded positively.
Secretly, though, there are some things going on at the same time.
At night, it's a bar, and a drunken mercenary is sitting at the bar and toasting.
A group of city guards entered the bar in an orderly manner and quietly surrounded the mercenary.
The other guests in the bar, including the owner, just stood by and watched.
In the towns of the Austin Empire, obstructing the work of the city guards was punishable.
The captain of the city guard reached out and patted the mercenary on the shoulder, and when the mercenary looked up, he realized that he had been surrounded by a group of city guards at some point.
"My lord! What's going on?! The mercenary hurriedly stood up and said nervously, originally he was just slightly drunk, but in the face of this sudden situation, of course, he instantly sobered up.
The captain of the city guard squad took out a document from his bosom, and at the end of the document was the city lord's autograph.
"This is an arrest warrant signed by the city lord himself."
"The entry level certificate you handled shows that you are a citizen of the Lane Empire, and now our two countries are in a tense period, I am afraid that I will have to wronged you to go with me in the past two days."
……
On the other side, at an inn, the city guards suddenly broke in, alarming the mercenaries who were already on alert.
But the mercenaries just watched from the sidelines, watching the City Guard squad walk into a room.
"My lord! The little one is just a businessman! Merchant! Just passing through this place! "A fat man with a somewhat bald head was taken away by the city guards.
The mercenaries on the side could only stare at their boss when they saw their boss being caught......
There's no way to do this kind of thing with the city guards, I believe that no mercenary is willing to do it......
……
In the darkness of the night, the city guard team was fully armed, and the team leader opened several arrest warrants in his hand to identify the destination that needed to go.
"Captain, why do you say I'm catching these ordinary people of the Ryan Empire? Everyone is just an ordinary person, and it doesn't matter if the two sides are at war. A soldier asked in a whisper.
"Orders from above, why are you asking so much!" The squad leader complained harshly.
"But I don't quite understand, I guess our battle this time is carried out in secret, I want the Ryan Empire to get the news later, so that I can have a surprise effect, right? If you can get the news out a day late, it will be good for the war situation! The team leader thought for a moment and whispered.
The young soldier smashed his mouth,
"Then we should also arrest those who hide and pass on information, why catch ordinary people?" The young soldier said.
The squad leader slapped him on the head.
"Did you know that one was an undercover agent who was hiding to pass on information? Shut up if you don't know! ”
