Chapter 205: Preparations

The news that the defenders of White Jade City were ready to move south at any time naturally reached the ears of the armies of Qianze and Lohigar, and almost overnight, the armies of both sides retreated dozens of miles again.

Several storms of Hidden Moon City have been fruitless, although it doesn't mean anything, but the momentum of the army has inevitably begun to fall, and if they are caught between the two breads at this time, even if they have the advantage in numbers, they may not be able to get any benefits.

In a large-scale war, when the number of people is as high as a certain number, 100,000 or 200,000, the difference between them is not so obvious, but the more important factor is tactics or morale.

At this time, the morale of the Huiye army was like a rainbow, and they couldn't wait to fight with the coalition army again, and the shame of the continuous rout before the snow made even the combined armies of the two countries have to temporarily avoid the edge.

Even some people in Kazuha have begun to issue an appeal to completely drive the invading enemy army out of Kazuha's land before the Midsummer Festival.

The Midsummer Festival is always the grandest festival in the human kingdom, and the significance it represents is self-evident.

This appeal aroused the response of the vast majority of people, and even some non-governmental forces have begun to fully support the war, and those who have money have contributed money and force, and for a time the anti-Japanese war upsurge was set off in China.

People simply can't tolerate that their country is still in the heat of water while the Midsummer Festival is about to take place.

Just when the Great War was about to break out, the negotiations between Rochgar and the royal family of Kazuha finally had some results, and in order to redeem the third prince who was detained by Kazuha, they decided to withdraw from the army.

In fact, many discerning people know that Rochgar is just borrowing a step from the situation, and the process of invading Kazuha is not as smooth sailing as they imagined, especially the offensive and defensive battles in Hidden Moon City, which made them suffer heavy losses, and if they continue to fight, it will be a lose-lose situation 100%.

The withdrawal of Lochgar made the Chisawa royal family scold them for being shameless, Lochgar joined the war late, and even if he withdraws now, there will not be much loss.

Qian Ze is different, for this invasion, they almost exhausted their efforts, when they broke through the first line of defense, they had already paid a great price, if they didn't get any benefits in the end, they would really lose their blood.

However, with the change of the situation, the withdrawal of Lochgar, relying on the strength of Chizawa alone, was no longer able to start a war to continue the eastward advance.

But the war will not end there, and Kazuha will never allow his land to be occupied by a large area of Chisawa, and a huge army has been assembled in White Jade City and Hidden Moon City, preparing to counterattack in one fell swoop.

However, at this time, another news came out that shocked the world.

King Tetsuba died of illness, and the little prince succeeded to the throne, but because the little prince is still young, Her Royal Highness the princess is the regent, and since then Her Royal Highness has really stepped into the foreground from behind.

This is not the most shocking, what really makes people boil is that there is another related information -

Her Royal Highness the Princess and the prince of the Heavenly Dragon Empire have tied the knot and have already decided to get married, such as today, the envoys of the Dragon Empire are already on their way to the Emerald King City.

This news is undoubtedly more exciting than any previous news.

What kind of existence the Celestial Dragon Empire is, although ordinary people don't know much about it, they also know that it is a huge empire, and it is not at the same level as a medium-sized kingdom like Huiye.

It is said that the Heavenly Dragon Empire has nearly 100 million people, with millions of armor, and also has an invincible dragon cavalry legion in the world, such an existence, let alone Qianze, even if several kingdoms in the vicinity are united, they dare not compete with it at all.

The news of the marriage of the two families is neither early nor late, but it was released at this time, and the meaning is already very obvious.

The Celestial Dragon Empire will be on the side of the Radiant Leaf Kingdom.

Although this is most likely just a symbolic solidarity, it still makes the Qianze Kingdom jealous, what if, what if the Dragon Empire really sends troops?

Everyone's eyes are focused on the Chisawa royal family, what will Chisawa do in the face of a terrifying empire?

As a result, the next day, Chisawa's army had a new movement, and under the orders of the royal family, it began to slowly retreat unwillingly!

When the news broke, the whole country celebrated, and this short but extremely tragic war finally came to an end, and finally ended with the withdrawal of Chisawa and Rohigar.

Every city was lit up with lights, and countless people spontaneously organized various celebrations, and Hidden Moon City, which was able to resist the advance of the enemy army, was even more jubilant.

Of course, they were also very happy, but instead of taking to the streets to join the celebratory procession, they nervously spread out their custom-made dresses at home.

Just a day ago, An Xu and the others received a notice from the Huiye royal family, inviting all of them to go to the Emerald King City to participate in the celebration ceremony held by the royal family, and they will be awarded special rewards at the time of the bureau.

There is only this simple information on the notice, but everyone knows that this is for them to prepare for the award ceremony!

In this war, the Hope team has completed many important tasks entrusted by the royal family, and has made great achievements several times, accumulating a large number of points, even among all the mercenary teams, they are among the best.

The royal family has promised to award the Order of Nobility to mercenaries who have made outstanding contributions in the war, and it is certain that An Xu, as the captain of the team, will have at least one!

And the royal family's notice is to let all the members of the Hope team go together, which is very interesting, it is very likely that according to An Xu's previous guess, their entire team can get a noble medal.

This made the members of the entire team very excited, this medal represents glory and the recognition they have received, even Lin Yicheng and Helan Yingjie, who are from noble backgrounds, can't calm down.

Although they came from aristocratic families, they themselves did not have the title of nobility!

Those glory belongs to their ancestors, and their descendants are just enjoying the shadow of their ancestors, how can they be beautiful by themselves to obtain a noble medal.

Just like the Helan family, as one of the three major families, but only the head of one family can inherit the status of nobles, and there are a few other people, such as Helan Yinghao, who have also obtained the status of nobles through their own struggles in the army.

The rest of the people can only be regarded as family members, and they themselves do not have a noble title.

If you can get a noble medal, you can imagine the encouragement for everyone!

The celebration was scheduled for the beginning of next month, and there was still a week or so to go, so it seemed like there was plenty of time, but in fact it was very urgent, and Lin Yicheng knew this very well.

To attend a celebration held by the royal family, especially if you are likely to receive an award from Her Royal Highness the Princess, an official dress is essential.

A mercenary like An Xu from a poor background, where did he get a dress?

The formal dress could not be purchased, so they could only ask the master tailor to tailor it, so An Xu and the others ran non-stop to find the best tailor master in Hidden Moon City.

However, due to the many celebrations during this time, the queue of people who made custom dresses was already full, and it took a long time to customize a set of dresses, which almost saddened these young people.

An Xu even had some regrets, remembering that when he chose a sub-profession, there was a tailor's option in it, if he didn't choose a forger, he only needed to do it himself at this time, right?

Of course, this is just a whining, and there is no need to question the strength of the forger.

In the end, it was Lin Yicheng who relied on his family relationship to find an elderly master tailor who studied and made a well-fitting dress for the team members.

By the time An Xu and the others got their hands on it, it was less than three days before the celebration time announced by the royal family.

It would take nearly two days just to rush from Hidden Moon City to Jade King City, and Helan Yingjie was very familiar with the route, and An Xu and they didn't have to worry about going around the original road, so they rented a few carriages, packed their luggage and immediately set off towards Jade King City.

This time, everyone is out of the road, men, women, and children, and everyone is walking together!

Because, this is a big event that belongs to the entire team, even An Xin, Lina, and even Dai'er and Sun Xiaofu followed all the way to the royal city to witness this historical moment together.

Yes, it's not an exaggeration at all, it can be called a historic moment.

Because, from ancient times to the present, if you want to obtain the status of nobility, you need to join the army or politics, and make great contributions to the royal country, so that there is a slight possibility of obtaining the noble medal.

However, a large part of these noble identities are not hereditary, which means that their descendants will lose their noble status after a few years if they do not regain a noble medal on their own, which is why those small and medium-sized families are desperately searching for resources to cultivate their offspring.

Now, An Xu and the others may be about to become the first batch of mercenary-born nobles in history, which will definitely leave a strong mark on history.
