Chapter 57 - Madness
Ever since General Stririsa was robbed of command of the army by the Empress's emissary, the nobles of the Imperial Capital of the Alpha Empire have received good news from the front, which is in stark contrast to the frequent bad news when Stririsa commanded. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For a while, almost all the high-ranking nobles of the elven clan felt that it was a mistake to let Strilisa be the commander-in-chief of that powerful guard.
But the monarch of the elves. The empress of the Alpha Empire didn't think so.
She knew Strixia's abilities, and she knew that Strilisha wouldn't lie to herself, so the news that Strilisa sent back was extremely real, and the news sent back by the elf who took away Strelisa's command could be a little true, which was worth thinking about.
She doesn't regret it, though. As a tyrant and war maniac, she desperately longs for war, but Striisa has been persuading her to stop the war for a while, let the people breathe a little, and let the country recover some of its strength, which is the last thing that she, a monarch, can tolerate! So she likes the tree elves of the Mandala tribe who are as hungry for war as she is.
She knew what these stupid green girls were thinking who were trying to trick her all day long, but she gladly accepted their demagoguery because she wanted war.
"Agomelas, how is the battle on the front line now?" Sitting on her lonely throne, the Elven Empress condescendingly asked the tree elf priest standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"Your Majesty, now that we have been in an advantageous position in the battle against this rebel army, as long as there is less than a month left, our army will definitely be able to sweep away this rebel army!" Along with the other elven ministers, the tree elf priest Agomeras, who had come to attend a meeting of the Elven Empress, immediately replied as soon as he heard the Elven Empress's cold and arrogant inquiry.
Although the Elven Empress was now a puppet of their Mandala clan, she knew that the Elven Empress was not a simple character. Long before the Elven Empress ascended the throne, she had already plotted to eliminate all of her competitors. Such a ruthless character would have no hidden killer weapon against their clan, and Agomeras would not believe anything!
Therefore, she can only be inferior to the elven empress, and she does not dare to have the slightest disrespect, and she can only follow the empress's temperament. Otherwise, it will be a catastrophe!
Hearing Argomeras' answer, the Elven Empress's gaze was as cold as the cold wind of the far north, and she moved to the commander-in-chief of the other of her two guards, Grand Duke Alagosana Farintu.
"Your Majesty." As the Elven Empress's gaze fell on him, Duke Aragosana suddenly felt a chill creeping up his back, and he hurriedly saluted the Elven Empress, waiting for her order.
"Bloodleaf is now fighting Eldridge's Netherd Church, and it's time for you Fire Leaf to strike. The land on the other side of the Dragon's Back Mountains has been occupied by the Mirakesa, and you go and recover it. The Elven Empress's voice was very delicate and cold, but it looked very majestic in the ears of the elven ministers.
Like her cold voice, her order frightened the elven ministers!
Now that the civil strife in the Alpha Empire has not been eliminated, if the last army on the imperial capital side is sent out to fight, it will not only make the imperial capital empty and give the villains a chance to sneak attack the imperial capital, but even the national strength will be very problematic. Since the Elven Empress ascended the throne, their Alpha Empire has often fought with their old rival, the Dak Alpha Empire, and the national strength accumulated over thousands of years has been almost exhausted.
In order to make up for this loss, they chose to attack Mirakaisa, intending to devour the kingdom of Mirakaisa in order to restore the national strength of their country so that nothing could go wrong. However, because of the betrayal of the Ghost Church, the force used to assassinate the reckless elven empress, it in turn gave Mira Kaisa the opportunity to snatch the land on the other side of the Dragonspine Mountains. Even if that land is not an important land in the eyes of the Alpha Empire, it is still a big loss for the Alpha Empire, and the national strength has weakened again.
And at this time, if you choose to fight on multiple fronts, it means that the Alpha Empire must bear double the consumption, and it won't be long before the Alpha Empire's national strength will be exhausted!
As a result, Alpha, an ancient empire that has existed for tens of thousands of years, has fallen into a situation from which it will never recover. In the end, Alpha's fate is likely to be eaten by Mirakaisa and Dak'afa, and their ministers will become ministers of the country, and they themselves know how miserable the ending will be!
Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of thing, almost all the ministers spoke out to persuade the Elven Empress, hoping that she would give up this idea and avoid the destruction of the country of the Alpha Empire.
However, at this time when everyone was united, some dissenting elves appeared at an inopportune time, which made the situation chaotic.
When the other elven ministers opposed the Elven Empress for letting Duke Aragosana lead the army, some of them immediately jumped out and accused the elven ministers of ignoring the fact that the empire was occupied by the enemy, and were not loyal to the Elven Empress and the Alpha Empire at all.
Moreover, he also said that as a powerful empire, he should let others know that there is a price to be paid for provoking Ifa!
All of a sudden, the ministers quarreled, causing the Elven Empress to snort coldly, and a small group of strong soldiers immediately entered the palace, looked at the ministers coldly, and forced them to shut their mouths.
And when these noisy ministers quieted down, the Elven Empress's gaze fell on Agomeras again, and the Elven Empress asked directly, "Agomeras, what do you think about this?" ”
Hearing this, Agomeras was also shocked, because the answer to this question was wrong or not. Choose to agree to the empress's orders, and then you can wait at home for wave after wave of assassins. And choosing not to agree with the empress's ideas would violate the interests of her own clan, and it would also anger the elven empress and make the elven empress question her own clan.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Argomeras could only choose to stand firmly on the side of the Elven Empress, so she said: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to let Duke Aragosana lead the army to recover the area occupied by Mirakesa. ”
As soon as they heard this, the ministers of the elven clan instantly turned to ashes.
But just as they wanted to scold Agomeiras, Agomeras immediately added: "I just don't know if Your Majesty intends to let the Duke of Aragosana go to war with the Mirakesa from there." If there are a few canyons in the Dragon's Back Mountains, then I think it's better not to go. And if it is the Ezertus Plain, then with the strength of the Fire Leaf Guard, not to mention regaining all the lost territory, it can also recapture a considerable part of the lost territory. Relying on these places as a base point, the Fire Leaf Guards can continue to attack the Mirakesa and slowly regain all the lost territory. In this way, our army that was trapped in the Principality of Amp in Mirakaisa can also withdraw and help the fire leaf defend against Mirakesa's counterattack. ”
These words of Agomeras directly choked all the words that the elven ministers wanted to scold Agomeras in the throats of the ministers, so that they could not say them one by one, and could only frown and ponder there, thinking about whether what Agomeras said was really feasible.
However, the Elven Empress was a very arbitrary and domineering monarch, and before the Elven ministers could deduce the success rate of this battle, she made her own judgment and directly ordered the Duke of Alagosana to lead the Fire Leaf Guards around the Dragonspine Mountains and launch an attack from the Ezertus Plains against the area occupied by Mirakaisa on the other side of the Dragonspine Mountains.
Moreover, she also gave a very appalling order.
That is, after conquering the lost territory, whether it is the Mirakaisa people, or the people of Alpha who have no time to escape, and the dryads and nomadic tribes who have nothing to do with the two countries, they will all be killed!
As soon as they heard this order, all the elves and dryads except for the Elven Empress were taken aback.
But because the Elven Empress got up and left here directly after giving this order, there was no way for them to persuade the Elven Empress not to do this......
-----------------------------------
A few days later.
A knight rushed to the city of Plasius overnight with an urgent message, and forcibly broke open the doors of the two archdukes who had already slept, so that the two of them had to gather about eighty percent of the army and nobles in the whole city of Plasius, and hurried to the direction of the plain of Azetus before dawn. In order to hurry up and strengthen their combat capabilities, the two archdukes, who took almost all the capable nobles away, unreliably handed over the city of Prasiux to Miral and Jukana to take care of, regardless of whether the two of them would manage the city or not......
Lu Ming, who was on a horse and was on the road with the large army, sent his guards to call Lamanrath from the other side of the Terra Gorge and helped her command Yugsotus.
It was almost noon that Raman Rath led a group of knights to join the large army of Lu Ming, Winsland, Hermfeth, Touris and others.
But at this time, Raman Lath didn't know what was going on on the side of the Ezertus Plain, so he could only ask Lu Ming, Kemias, Chimera, Touris and others about the situation on the way to the road.
"The Elven Empress of the Alpha Empire has gone mad. She has sent the last standing army from the capital of the Alpha Emperor to attack us. Now the army is circling the Dragon's Back Mountains, and will soon reach the plains of Azetus. We must be there in three days now before we can prepare in advance, or we will have to fight them in the field!" On the way, Lu Ming was on horseback and explained the current situation to Raman Lass.
However, Raman Rath still didn't understand what Lu Ming meant, and couldn't help but ask again: "Even if we arrive at the Ezertus Plain within three days, we won't be able to build a wall to defend against the attack of the Alpha army!" What do you mean by preparation? ”
"Do you remember why I went to the imperial capital?" Lu Ming didn't answer Raman Lasi's question, but instead asked Raman Lass in turn.
As soon as he heard Lu Ming's question, Raman Rasi immediately thought of one thing, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean ......?"
Yes, the upper echelons of the Miracaisa army plan to learn from Amani's method of summoning the entire fortress of the Giant's Fallen Forest to the Forest of Gaia, and directly summon a fortress stuck on the plains of Ezertus, giving Ifa's army a headache.
Since the Alpha Empire has gone crazy like this, why can't they also go crazy?
These were the words of Viscount Oberik, who was in charge of garrisoning Styx on the Plains of Ezertus, and it was also the thoughts of Lu Ming and other magicians belonging to the Kingdom of Miracaesa. It's just that it takes a lot of strength and time to prepare for this summoning magic array, and they must arrive in advance to be able to successfully complete it, otherwise they will only be able to go to the field with Alpha's army at a great loss.
However, after learning the thoughts of the top brass of the Mirakaisa army, although Raman Rath knew why they were in a hurry, there was another question, that is, where Stix planned to summon the fortress to serve as a barricade stuck in the plains of Azetus.
This question is not only her question, but also the question in the hearts of Lu Ming and the others.
Summoning magic has never been very reliable, except for a bold but very cautious magician like Lu Ming, many magicians who play summoning end up dying on it. This is also the reason why Lu Ming rarely uses summoning techniques, which can instantly make Mira Kaisa win, and may also make Mira Kaisa's army annihilate in an instant.
If you summon it indiscriminately, it is likely that a fortress full of monsters or other terrifying things will be summoned, and then the headache will not only be the army of Alpha, but even the army of Mirakesar who summoned the fortress may not be easy.
So the most important thing now is to hurry up to the original side of Azetuth, don't care about anything, and first determine where the fortress is that these people are going to summon!
And at the same time that Lu Ming and the others rushed to the Ezertus Plain with a large army, Miral and Jukana, who were left in Prasiux City, were being troubled by all kinds of documents, even if Kate, an elf who had a problem with speaking, came over to help, it was a little impossible to get so many documents.
Looking at these various documents in front of him, Milar suddenly understood what his husband Lu Ming meant when he looked at him when he got on his horse and left with the army.
That girl is Chiguoguo's sympathy and mercy~!!
Miral, who felt that he was about to kneel, lay on the table with his whole body, and asked weakly to a female knight of Lu Ming's personal guard that Lu Ming had left for him: "Lu Ming, did he face these things every day before?" ”
The knightess put a cup of hot coffee on her desk very thoughtfully and said, "These are the small parts that are left after the Viscount disposed of ninety percent before the two Grand Dukes arrived in Prasius City. Please also ask the lady to think carefully before signing and sealing. Before leaving, Lord Viscount said that this is a test of whether you can obtain a territorial viscount. If you can't do what satisfies the Viscount, he will ask the Grand Duke to lower your title and give you only a false title. And, the barony you own now, he will also take it back. ”
"What~!?" Upon hearing this, Miral couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly sat up straight, and began to review the boring documents.
On the other hand, Jukana and Kate had already announced that they had already been killed, and they could not handle these documents......
