265 The Merchant Alliance strikes
This series of changes in the mainland in the past three years has changed the stable situation on the mainland for hundreds of years. A cruel and abnormal war and a very large organization, in front of the wheel of history, gently pushed, inadvertently changed the direction of the entire history. San Jose and Desic, two mighty empires that have been facing each other across the Morro River for hundreds of years, have reached the end of their lives this year.
A brand new empire, a new magical empire inherited from the will of those who came before it thousands of years ago, was built on the "corpse" of this country. Merlin, a super magician known to everyone on this continent, was crowned the archon of the new Magic Empire, and became the ruler of this fertile land and tens of millions of people. The brilliance of the blue sun has never shone so brightly in so many years, and for the first time, the red sun has been blocked behind it. Hundreds of towering magic towers have sprung up in the land of the former San Jose, magicians have sprung up from the countryside, and many gifted boys and girls have become elemental awakeners selected and cultivated by the new magic empire.
The New Magic Empire seems to have regained the glory of his ancestors, and Merlin has sprinkled the glory of himself, his ancestor Ivan, on every inch of the continent. Oh no, not every inch of land, in the corners of the continent, there are still forces of resistance that are unwilling to submit to the rule of the new Magic Empire.
The Shang Alliance, the weakest of the three kingdoms and the first to be breached by Desik, became the only surviving member of the Three Kingdoms. Under the leadership of the new business alliance's young leadership, this once-copper-smelling business country exudes a different vitality than at any time in history.
In the spring of the previous two years, a new year came. In the past year, after the establishment of the new Magic Empire, it was not in a hurry to expand to the territory of the Shang Alliance, but in its interior, it actively discovered magicians and expanded the magic tower.
However, the border of the Shang Alliance was quiet, and neither the former Western Frontier Army nor the Desik Army wandering in San Jose had any intention of attacking the Tra border. It's just that both sides, in the hills along the border, in the misty forests, and in the barren lands of San Jose, have sent countless scouts to inquire about each other's situation.
After garrisoning the border for more than half a year, Kister's New Sixth Army withdrew to Kaman territory. The Military Council, led by Lucius, has re-established a new army within the Merchant Alliance, and they are now facing the dual pressure of the new Magic Empire in the east and the original Desik in the north. Although there was no war for a while, the Shang Alliance was still tightening the strings in their minds all the time in preparation for a rainy day.
After settling down, Koster, after consulting with the Military Council, decided to do something he had promised others to do a long time ago.
Within the territory of the former Merchant Alliance, the southern part is now occupied by the three countries and headquarters of the Merchant Alliance, which confronted the former Desik Dispatch along the border of White Harbor, Manning, and Kaman. One hundred and fifty thousand Desik troops occupied most of White Harbor, Manning, Carlin, Kosok, and Carthage. After the demise of Desik, or rather at a time when the war between Desik and San Jose was raging, the idea of these Desic troops changed. From the very beginning of fighting for Desik, they began to gradually think about themselves.
It wasn't until Edward VI died in White Rock that the entire Desik army lost its allegiance, and a large part of the Desik territory became the territory of the new Magic Empire. Florian and Jim, the two supreme rulers of the Dispatch Army, suddenly discover that the food and wealth they plundered in the territory of the former Merchant Alliance will never be returned to White Rock City. They and their 150,000-strong army became a warlord entrenched in the territory of the Shang League.
And to their north, at the foot of the Sunset Mountains in the far north, there is a small kingdom, Southern Madur. The war between the Shang League and De Sik first broke out here, and at the height of the fighting between the two countries, the Shang Alliance unexpectedly organized troops to retake South Madur. The New Third Army, since then, has been guarding South Madur, a country that does not belong to them.
The southern Madur kingdom, which was originally sparsely populated and had severe cold weather, lost a large number of people during the war, and many commoners also chose to enter the Sunset Mountains and climb the mountains to follow their lord after learning that the princess had gone to the southern principality of Kaman alive. The New Third Army strictly abided by the orders given to them by the headquarters of the Shang Alliance that year and held the city of South Madur. And this small army and the barren living environment of South Madur made it impossible for the entire dispatch army to raise the spirit to deal with them.
Across the Whispering Forest on the border with Southern Madur, three Desik infantry regiments were stationed in a row, confronting the New Third Army. For more than two years, they have been peaceful. The war on the mainland seems to be quite far from here.
Just when everyone seems to have forgotten what happened here in South Madur, there is another person who has never forgotten her homeland in her mind, and that is the former princess of South Madur and the current queen of South Madur, Gualman Rodrin.
In Kerster's statement to Gualman, Southern Madur must be contacted, and this northern enclave is of great significance to the business alliance to run the Desik Dispatch Army. However, the situation in San Jose for many years made the New Sixth Army and Kist dare not leave the southern border for a single step. Despite his frustration, Guarman still followed his agreement with Khor, "Wait for that time to come." ”
So when Caster walked to Gualman's mansion that day and said "the time is ripe" in front of her, Guarman's first reaction was to look at his bodyguard, Vivina. "I heard me right!" Seeing that the other party was as dazed as himself, Guarman had to force himself to look into Ker's eyes, "Is the ripe time you said the right time we said?"
"Woooo "I'm sorry, it's Kaka, that guy seems to have grown up lately and become a little wild. Kerst scratched his head in embarrassment, but Guarman didn't care, her big eyes stared at Khster unblinkingly, making Kerst's heart a little hairy, "Yes, that's the timing." ”
Shortly after leaving the Guarman Mansion, the group, led a small army, into the Sunset Mountains west of Kaman. Guarman was familiar with this road, and it was from here that she first came to Carman. And this time, they will go back along this road. Their destination was the junction of Carthage, Kosok and Southern Madur.
They were accompanied by the 12th and 13th Regiments of Koster's New Sixth Army, with Duncan and Jon among the two regimental commanders, Ferda, Robber, Rickon, Green, and Robertson as well, Guarman with only his own escort, Vivenna, and October, and finally, at the end of the group, Master Koster's pet Kaka and Rika, who had become Kaka's personal nanny.
Since having Kaka, Rika has found that her work has become much simpler, but also a lot heavier. It was made easy because of Kaka's presence, and anyone who approached Khor's hostile mind would be immediately recognized by Kaka, followed by a flame of flame. Last time, there was a guy who was dissatisfied with Kester, and he was burned into charcoal by Kaka when he assassinated Khor. However, as Khor's pet, Kaka is quite an uncle, and Rika's daily job is to prepare food, bathe, wipe scales, and play with Kaka.
This time when he came out, Kaka who left the barracks was even more unrestrained, constantly flying back and forth in front of the team, provoking Rika to keep shouting, "Kaka, Kaka......"
Listening to the noise of a man and a dragon not far away, Kester couldn't help but smile bitterly, and Guarman beside him comforted, "No matter what, Kester, it's also a dragon." You must know that even in our business alliance, the people who envy you are estimated to be able to line up from King Carman to Mister City. I see, in the future, on the battlefield, it will be a great help. ”
Kester shook his head, "Don't look at him fiercely, he's just a child." Rika was tossed by him enough, and now Rika has to come to me every day to complain, and if she continues like this, she will have to give up. ”
"Alright, alright," Guarman chuckled, "who doesn't know the story of you and Rika, since that time, Rika's loyalty to you has been known to all the people of the Business Alliance." And they all said, Ah, the wise Chester had two beautiful women, one faithful, and the other more faithful. One loves him, and the other loves him even more. ”
Hearing Guarman say this, Kester couldn't help but have a bitter face. At this time, all countries are still at war, and these people still care about their own gossip, and they really don't know what to say.
Fortunately, the journey was not long, and after just twenty days, the scouts in front of them received a message that they were approaching the mountain.
"Gualman, this time we go out, we have to contact the local resistance groups first, don't you know, in just a few years, these resistance organizations are much stronger than when we first met them!" Kerst looked at the mountains in the distance and couldn't help but sigh. The scout's message was clear: after crossing this last hill, it was the plain at the foot of the Carthaginian kingdom.
"The Resistance is our last hope in the occupied territory, don't lie to me, I know you've done a lot of help to the Resistance in the past few years. Guarman laughed.
"Yes, without our assistance, these defeated soldiers would not have survived. Guarman, haven't you yourself encountered such a thing of cannibalism in Sunset Mountain? I would have believed that with food and weapons, they would not abandon their homeland. It turns out that the guys of the resistance group have done a good job all these years. ”
"What part is out there?" Guarman asked curiously.
"At the foot of the hill we were greeted by the largest resistance group in the North, who had been waiting for us there three days ago. ”
"Oh, yes, I'll go check it out!" Before Koster could reply, Guarman suddenly took to the air and flew off into the distance.
Kester couldn't help but shake his head, "Sometimes I forget that you're a magician too." ”
