Chapter Twenty-Five: The Imperial Expeditionary Army
(Ask for recommended tickets!! )
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
There will always be a chance for new blooms in the petals that wither in autumn, and there are some people who miss a moment and miss a lifetime.
In the days that followed, Aaron used almost all methods, even if he included Nosica in the Holy City warriors, but the result was only in vain, and the power of the Holy City still could not be cured.
In fact, the god of war sacrificed to Nosica, and she had run out of oil.
"The warmest place in the world is in your arms!"
Three days is enough time for Nosica's hair to turn white. Wrinkles appeared on her clear face.
A tear from the god of war fell on her head, and Aaron believed that she would go to the transparent heaven.
Although Aaron has been trying to convince himself that there will be a place where everyone's heart first yearns, without worldly pollution and sorrow, only the happy bloom of Nosica alone in his memory. Blooming with a pure fragrance as white as snow......
"Nosica, I can't imagine that you will only be my wife for three days."
What the breeze takes away is the unbearable yesterday, and what the years can't take away, but it is a long-term attachment.
At the last moment of her life, Nosica smiled and reached out to gently caress Aaron's cheek, "Three days is enough." If there is an afterlife, Nosika will still be your sacrifice. Your wife ......"
The moment Nosica's arm stiffened and fell from mid-air, the heart of the god of war ached like a knife.
A little light in the middle of the night is the last hope of the traveler, they are the eyes of the wolf!
Sun; Moon; Alternate all the time.
Sunlight, moonlight. In their light, so much absurdity happens.
It turns out that his smile has always been cruel.
Pick up the lost mood, the way to go. Always keep going.
People should always maintain their vigorous vitality and not be disappointed in life.
Even if you see so many things that make you disappointed, frustrated, and heartbroken, as long as you live, don't be afraid of failure, fear of setbacks, in fact, there will always be hope ahead.
A month later, teleport through the Void Holy City to the Hurricane Sanctuary.
Stand in front of the moon gate raging in a hurricane and fall into the eyes of the god of war. It is the 600,000 imperial expeditionary army that has reached the Wall of Despair in the North.
Forest Troll Warriors, Wolf Warriors, Bear Infantry, War Dog Troops, and many more berserkers as far as the eye can see.
Nowadays, different races are gathered under the same battle flag, wearing a Spartan helmet with a nose shield and a red cape. It was the troll general Behringer who spoke first. "Your Majesty, Great Emperor, following your will, the 600,000 Imperial Expeditionary Army has arrived."
Zhu Rong General first force. He echoed, "Your majesty, the god of war, just your order, the army of the Spartan Empire." Will sweep everything away. ”
An army of 600,000 spread out in Aaron's eyes, sweeping away the gloom from his eyes. His gaze swept across his cheeks. Indifferent ordered, "Crossing the wall of despair and moving forward ――――――"
Whoa, whoa!
The 600,000-strong army, with their uniform turning movements, all caused the throbbing of the air current.
Dwarf Dimmer, joined the Greenway Holy City. Stand with 5,000 natural wood elves and 5,000 Spartan warriors.
A non-angry and self-righteous face, and a pair of lazy eyes under the thick black eyebrows. But it was slightly covered by green hair, so that he didn't have to look at the people and things that happened.
From today, he has a new identity. A noble wood-based elven general, a glorious Greenway Holy City warrior. Fight for glory, fight for empire!

……………………
A territory where people live next to each other, forming villages.
Regardless of the size and external form of the villages, they provided the necessary dwelling place for the peasants to live in their daily lives, and at the same time provided the center for the productive work and life of the people.
A village is a small society where people cultivate the land, reproduce and create culture.
And the city connects these small societies through cobweb-like roads, constituting a city lord rule.
During the war years, there were no metal ploughshares, and there were no plough walls, which could only cut through the surface layer of the soil, and could not be deeply cultivated, so intermittent hand digging and deep turning were required to achieve the purpose of deep ploughing.
The conquered people of the north endured heavy taxes and rebelled from time to time, while the white forest nobles from the west did not care about the life or death of the farmers in the north, and only knew one vigorous exploitation and suppression.
The nobles of the Westlands only prevaricate the accusations with a light phrase, "Despicable Northland pigs, cowardly slaves." The war is not over. All the food should be gathered so that the soldiers of the West can be fed first. If you want to blame, blame your Grand Duke Reinhardt, who is still resisting and keeping you fed and clothed. ”
Blackwater. An important strategic location.
The fortified "Great City" built of boulders to resist the intrusion of the Black Sea, enclosed off a large amount of land, drained the swamps and made them arable grain fields, and new flourishing, fertile farms, and the city undoubtedly belonged to the spoils of war of the nobles of the West.
Today, there is no sunshine.
The whole city is shrouded in damp rain, gray sky, and the sun is not seen for a long time, which makes people feel inexplicably depressed, and walking on the street, there is not an urge to cry.
"Your Lord! North...... North ......"
The scout, dressed in seven-colored elk skin armor, was out of breath and ran up the steps in embarrassment.
It is a three-storey square building, made of different layers of stone, each decorated with horizontal multi-level corners, topped by a heavy cornice and a few carvings.
The windows are neatly arranged with stone frames at the edges, and topped with triangular or semicircular mountain flowers.
In the middle of the ground floor is a tall portico, and on more than 100 steps, sixteen delicate marble pillars wear ornate triangular mountain flowers, with an elegant statue standing at the top and corner of the mountain flower.
Blackwater City, built by the Reinhardt family. It is the second largest fortress in the North after the Wall of Despair. There are two major provinces in the northern continent, and due to the special geographical location, as long as you occupy Blackwater City, you can condescend and control a small half of the entire northern territory or even a province.
Sadly, 1 year ago, the Legion of the White Groves of the Westside occupied Blackwater without consuming a single soldier. Instead, the city lord surrendered on his own initiative.
The entrance hall of the lord of the castle is a small rectangle, the walls are plastered, smooth and plain, the lower part of the wall is made of dark wood wainscoting, and the roof is a cylindrical vault carved with simple checkered ornamentation.
The inner courtyard of the lord of the city is square, surrounded by houses in the form of three overlapping pillars, and the ground floor is a wide continuous coupon corridor, with harmonious and light proportions.
The hall was the centre of life in the medieval mansion, where the lords ate and feasted, as well as where administrative or judicial affairs were conducted: a large rectangular room with a high roof, dark wainscoting in the lower part of the wall, and plastered in the upper part.
The whole hall is simple and solemn, and at the farthest end there is a long high platform, on which the tables and chairs of the host and the guest of honor are placed. The surrounding walls are decorated with frescoes and elaborate tapestries. A large chandelier hangs from the center of the roof.
"What? The Duke of Reinhardt in the north gathered hundreds of thousands of legions??? ”
After listening to the scout's detailed report, the city lord of Blackwater City suddenly changed his face halfway through his meal.
Earl Andrew was a high-ranking nobleman who was valued by the Grand Duke of the West. The Earl of Andrew was about forty years old, and his long years of hard work left a shallow fishtail mark on the corner of his eye. However, his short, thick and shiny hair was still so jet-black. Although the eyes are single eyelids, they are delicate and bright. The lips that are often pursed forcefully under the high bridge of the nose show the vitality of the blue.
It's just that it is this sporadic vitality that is being destroyed by the news brought by the scouts at this moment.
"Lord Lord, the dense northern legions are beyond sight. They bypassed the North Acropolis, the South Acropolis and other six cities, as well as the nearest customs city, and came directly towards Blackwater City! ”
The scout gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and as he reported to the lord in detail, he was visibly stupefied by what he had seen with his own eyes not long ago.
"Bastard, why don't the city lords of the cities intercept it, once Blackwater City is gone, they will also surrender directly. Damn, Duke Reinhardt of the North, where did he come from to recruit so many troops? ”
Earl Andrew couldn't help but scold those timid nobles who were afraid of death.
At the same time, he has been wondering in his heart, since the outpost army of the White Forest and the last 100,000 legions in the north were wiped out, and the army of the men in black conquered the fireplace fortress and was exhausted, there was no large-scale legion in the entire northern continent.
Whether it is the White Forest Legion in the West or the War Bear Legion in the North, they are all in the confrontation stage. Now, once the balance is broken.
Even the Western Continent, for a while, could not put together a large army to completely eliminate the Reinhardt family's rule over the Northern Continent.
Count Andrew is a talented lord, otherwise the Grand Duke of the Westside would not have given him a strategic place like Blackwater. At the moment, all the figurations can only be put aside for the time being, and preparing for battle is the most important business at hand, "Go, tell the city defense general, and immediately gather all the Black Death diseases in Blackwater City." Including all the adult men in the levy city, all of them are organized into the reserve team and are ready to defend Blackwater City! ”
Sending away the herald scouts, Count Andrew immediately ordered to transfer back the army that was fighting the pirates in the Blackwater Sea to defend Blackwater City.
Including immediately writing a letter to report the abnormality of the Northern Continent to the Western Continent, far water can't save the near fire, but in the eyes of Earl Andrew, this is his duty.
With all the strength, plus the slaves, Blackwater City can only raise an army of 100,000 people, and with such strength, if you want to resist the attack of no less than 500,000 people, it depends on the combat strength of the opponent's army.
