As early as the harvest month, villages and estates north of Buchi to the Golan-Elson Passage were informed that the black roses of Blomanda across the street might be on the move. [ ] The White Winged Cavalry Regiment of the Van Mill Legion, which was attached to Pragues, was stationed here, and Walter, the deputy commander, had already received news from the princess warning of the possibility of war and the organization of evacuation in the area, but the work was carried out in name only, the inhabitants of the land, especially the peasants, could not give up their most precious treasures, and the nobles were unwilling to drive their hired peasants north to leave the land deserted, and the point was that the fields were still hanging heavy ears of wheat in the last period before the autumn harvest, If there is no hope for the harvest of the year of evacuation, maybe the next year will be affected. Almost all of them survived by chance, except for a few craftsmen.

But north of Buch, the orders were well enforced, and the inhabitants still remembered the war of the previous year, and the deep fear was still in their bones, but most of the refugees had already gathered near Pragues, and the panic brought with them more refugees, who almost overwhelmed the southern border city. The lord of the city, Baron Rockville, had to reduce the rations of the refugees outside the city in order to ensure the supply of the army, and a feeling of resentment and unease had spread among the crowd.

Earlier in September, a letter was handed to Princess Griffien by Freya's hand:

'Your Royal Highness, Madara may have completed the actual unification today, the composition of the army has changed dramatically compared to the War of the Black Roses, and a large number of corpse witch lords have sworn allegiance to the immortal supreme one to the west of the Sea of the Dead Moon, so there may be more corpse witches in Madara's army than common sense, so please be careful. ’

Griffiin was studying the history of the Vajnd Continent at Lady Weissath when she saw the letter, and she looked up and smiled apologetically at her teacher, who had always served the royal family. It was the kind of aristocratic woman who was very well-informed, and she was very shrewd to what was happening, smiled and nodded to Her Royal Highness the Princess, put away the teaching aids, and withdrew. Griffiin hurriedly picked up the letter and found Overwell, and Sir Wolf looked a little puzzled after reading the letter, it was not an easy task to install a person in Madara, and the royal party had spent a great deal of energy in a year to insert a few very peripheral eyeliners. However, the news from those people was all normal, how could this Count Toniger understand it so clearly at once? He flicked the corner of the letter and muttered for a moment: "Your Royal Highness Princess, can you confirm the origin of this letter?" ”

"This letter was handed to me by Freya herself, so there should be no problem." Griffiin blushed, embarrassed to say that there was a secret note on the letterhead that only she and Brando knew. She had never told anyone about it, and feared that Overwell would think she didn't trust him enough. But there was nothing unusual on Overwell's face, and he shook his head and said, "This is a little too strange, where did Lord Earl get this news?" ”

"But Overwell, I don't think Count Toniger needs to deceive us about this." Griffiin frowned and argued. Overwell glanced at his titular student with some surprise, having heard rumors that she had had a relationship with the Count Tonigal. I didn't expect to reconcile so quickly, but that's okay, before Brando's career, he had been in contact with the other party for a long time, and he always felt that this person was not the person with such a strong desire for power as rumored. Although time will change, there are some deep-rooted natures that are difficult to remove, not to mention that Eruin needs to be stable now, if Her Royal Highness the princess is eager to compete with the powerful ministers for fame and fortune. I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the princess knows the general situation. Overwell nodded, but immediately shook his head and said, "The letter says that Madara may have completed the substantive unification today, and if this is true, this letter is too important, but His Majesty is a little puzzled, but in a mere year and a half, Madara can complete such a heavy transformation." You know, although Eruin has just experienced a war, it is the same for Madara. Madara is a huge country with more entanglements of interests and takes longer to digest the benefits of the war. Count Tonigel once asserted that the war was a provocation instigated by the bloody staff Joeger. His Majesty agreed, and this kind of thing happened many times in the history of Eruin, and even not only in Madara, and occasionally the lords of the Eruin border would lead their troops into Madara's territory to plunder. ”

He smiled bitterly, and didn't tell Griffiin that in fact, in the early years, there were more such cases, and the invasion of Karasu by the Blood Staff was a revenge for the Lord of the Golden City, when Madala was scattered internally, and Eruin was a sovereign and intact kingdom, and there was never a tradition in history of the weak side frequently invading the strong side. But since the War of the Black Roses, this situation has gradually begun to reverse, in fact, most of the people of insight in the kingdom can clearly understand that the black Bromandal rose may be in full bloom, but no one will believe that Madara quickly completed the unification and immediately started another all-out war.

But if Brando is here, he will tell him that the nature of this war is very special, to put it bluntly, the supreme one of Madala and the king of the banshees, Alvet, united to play a play to trick the blood rod to send him to death, on the surface of Madara, he is still divided, but as he said, in essence, the unification has been completed, and this war is the last battle of the Supreme One to eliminate dissent, and now within the territory of Madara, a pair of resources and forces are united, preparing for the next battle for the revival of this dark country. And now the Blood Staff, with the connivance of the one who is overt and covertly, has taken the lead in completing the change, and it will be the first 'New Madala' army that the Eruin Kingdom has encountered, and the Duke of Goran-Elson has suffered a great loss in history.

Unfortunately, Brando is not here to explain this, and can only hope that Princess Griffiin and Overwell will take his opinion seriously.

Griffiin listened to Overwell's words, but still couldn't make up her mind, this time she was facing an almost unknown opponent, before the War of the Black Roses, Madara was a frontier plague, a scabies of the hands and feet, and the local nobles were pressing step by step, which was the chest and back. In fact, this still represents the thinking of most nobles. Had it not been for the solution to Jean Denel's troubles, the Autumn War would have been just another side provocation for Eruin, and Griffiin had a vague understanding that the rise of Madala might be a threat to the ancient kingdom, but it was impossible to understand the other side in such an environment.

She pondered for a moment before replying, "Although this judgment is logical, it is too arbitrary, and I believe that the Earl will not be untargeted." ”

"I don't doubt Lord Earl." Overwell couldn't help but smile wryly again, it seemed that his student was not a common believer in the Count Toniger. He suddenly realized that it might be that Ampesel's first battle had impressed Her Royal Highness the princess, making her somewhat blindly trust Brando's military talents, but in fact, he and even Count Outin knew that the other party's military talents could only be said to be average, but his judgment of the development of things was extremely good. He thought about it for a moment, probably because he had described Brando's battle experience too romantically when talking to her. Originally, he just wanted to impress the princess out of appreciation, after all, that Toniger was indeed a rare talent, and he was more loyal to the kingdom and ideals, and he admired such a young generation more than Macaro and Lewoods, but at this moment Overwell still shook his head, it seemed that it was necessary to remind the princess. lest she have unrealistic ideas, which is not a good thing for Brando, and for her.

He pondered for a moment before adding, "I'm just worried that Count Tonigel has been misled by intelligence. ”

"You mean Brando...... Count Toniger may have distorted the information he obtained, or even a trap? Griffiin reacted, frowning and asking rhetorically.

Overwell nodded.

Half an hour later, Outin, Grand Duke Vieiro, the legation of the Knights of the Highlands were summoned. Archduke HΓ©rault read the letter in his hand and muttered for a moment, and then called his men. The middle-aged knight, who claimed to have dealt with Madala for a long time and knew something about the black rose of Bromandala, shook his head after hearing the princess's question, and said: "Recently, there have been rumors that some changes are going through in Madara's country, but I think it is at this time that they will be more cautious, if what Count Tonigel said is true, how can the Blood Staff get full support from their supreme one at such a time?" ”

"I think our main enemy should be Jean Denel." Grand Duke Viero even put forward his own opinion: "We have just signed a peace agreement with Mardara, and the Blood Staff should not be too reckless, he should have been deceived by Denel, thinking that he saw an opportunity to send troops to take advantage of their supreme one." ”

The Grand Duke of Vieiro's answer was too subjective. Everyone present couldn't help but shake their heads, and Griffiin frowned even more, because her grandfather's analysis was almost the opposite of Brando's, and it was clear that the focus of the Count Toniger's plan was on Mardara. This was also in line with her thoughts, and she didn't want to change it, so she pretended not to hear her grandfather's answer and looked at the Highland Knights.

The head of the envoy of the Highland Knights was an experienced and steady old knight, but it was a slightly younger wizard who spoke, and the wizard replied simply: "According to the information we have received, we do not support the opinion of Count Tonigel, although the supreme one of Madala has almost unified the opinions of the dark nobles, but Madala is not completely unified now, most of the vampire families support him, but the dark lord is inseparable from him, and the corpse witch is only temporarily bowed under the pressure of the first two, In addition, the Banshee King Alvette has always resisted the appeasement from the Sacred Palace of Eleudnir, and it seems to us that sooner or later there will be a battle between the two. ”

It seems that almost all the information is against Brando's judgment, Griffi's is a little embarrassed, in her heart, she is willing to believe that Count Tonigel, although she is a little jealous of Brando's possible ambitions, but she trusts Brando's judgment of the future situation very much, especially the two have surprisingly consistent opinions on politics. But how can you convince the others, or is it true that Brando is wrong?

At this time, Freya finally couldn't help but speak: "Maybe Alvette and the queen are just separated from each other?" The blood rod lightly started the war, which is equivalent to saying that it violates the peace agreement between the two countries, and if it wins, it is fine, but if it fails, it is likely to be directly eradicated. The Blood Staff itself is the most unruly of the Dark Lords, and there is no reason to curry favor with the High of Madara, a cruel, greedy lord who took revenge on Karasu out of a violent personality rather than a rational drive. Once again, it may be in the same contempt for the authority of the Most High, and if so, the message on the table now makes sense. ”

Her words silenced the entire study.

No one knew that this was the closest guess to the truth, not even Freya herself, she just happened to hear Brando talk about it, blindly trusting the other party's judgment. But after a moment of silence, she saw the Highland Knights shaking their heads. The middle-aged knight under the Grand Duke of Vieiro even spoke: "Ridiculous, you are purely a conspiracy theory, this is a war, how can we speculate about the entanglement between the Supreme One and the Blood Staff, the key is, these things you said." Is there any evidence other than speculation? ”

"Evidence?" Freya's face turned red, the evidence was that Brando had sued her, but she also understood that this sentence obviously could not be used as evidence.

In the end, it was Griffey who broke the siege because of her. "In any case, the Earl's mention is to pass on the contents of this letter to the generals below for the sake of prudence. Being prepared is not a bad thing. After speaking, Her Royal Highness glanced at the daughter of the earth knight, and couldn't help but shake her head, she knew that Brando hoped that this little girl would be able to stand alone in the future, and she did have this qualification and background, and after going through so many things, she did become calm, but when it came to the argument of Count Tonigel. Still looking a little too anxious. Somehow, she had a faint envy in her heart, Brando's political proposition was actually her political proposition, and the prevention against Mardala was also one of the thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't stand up and defend her own and the Count Toniger's opinion as bluntly as Freya.

Because she is the sister of the future King Eruin, the de facto master of the balance of this kingdom at the moment.

Overwell looked at the handwritten letters written by his titular student. The above is everyone's opinion on the treatment of Brando's mention, he shook his head secretly, Her Royal Highness the princess is still too immature in these aspects, she doesn't know the people below. The envoys of Viero and Lantonilan both seemed very unconcerned, and the attitude of the highland knights did not show enough attention, and the above was still the same, and the lower ones were even more yang and yin, and it was doubtful how much of the execution of this warrant could be left.

But Sir Wolf did not expect that all of them would soon need not worry about this question, for before the order had even left the gates of Wallendenburg, the black roses of Bromandor were already blooming quietly in the shadows.

Golan-Elson Corridor

This corridor is located in the northern part of the Uzon Mountains, between the Tosankade Forest and Buchi, and it has another name, the Silman region. Like most of the territories on the border of Eruin, Silman is not a fertile land, with hills to the west and gentle only in the valley to the east, dotted with villages and estates, and two rivers to the south, one flowing through Buchi and the other through the Silman valley and eventually flowing into Lake Wallendon, and this second river is the lifeblood of the Silman region.

From the beginning of the harvest month, three brigades of cavalry were scattered along this lifeline, which sounded like a strong force, but they were loosely distributed in each town, which was actually the strength of one or two squadrons. In order to prevent the dispersion of his forces, Walter, the deputy commander of the regiment, concentrated most of his living forces in the most prosperous town of Owl in the Silkman region, and then released the patrols and scouts of the entire cavalry regiment in the form of squads to monitor the Yusongshan Pass in the south. And it was this evening that the patrol, which was supposed to return on time, disappeared one after another.

It was about seven o'clock before scouts reported that a small group of undead activity had been found in the south, but by this time most of the people in the Silman Valley were still lucky, and even Walter, including Walter, believed that it was just a temptation on the part of Madara. The reason is simple, since Madara is in control of the more aggressive Buchi region, there is really no need to attack from the Silman Valley. At half past eight, Walter met with a messenger from Van Mill, only to learn that since the afternoon, a large number of undead armies had been attacking Van Mill's first line of defense.

Mardala's main offensive force was indeed in Butch, and Walter was relieved. Although he also received a warning from the princess, the Van Mill Legion was actually closer to the Duke of Golan Elson, which is a well-known fact, and Her Royal Highness reminded the Duke out of kindness, but the Duke, especially the people below, may not appreciate it, not to mention that in their hearts, those who have been fighting with Mardala for many years, think that the above is purely chaotic command.

They knew all too well what the bone shelves were thinking on the other side of the mountain.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Walter rubbed his eyes and walked out of the tent to make one last observation, and then he saw the miracle of the stars rising in the sky.
