Chapter 310: The Collapse of the Empire (Final) Lul Poor Spend the rest of his life atoning for his sins
In 1473, Fellison Germac, a nobleman who had been forced away by Bourbon, returned to Bourbon with his followers, and when I met him for less than half a day, I was impressed by his determination and decided to fight for the rest of his life to fulfill the future Bourbon he had promised.
Felison met me from the shores of Astor, the main city of Bourbon in the middle of the Old Passage, and across the river was the western frontier of Incona.
After the landing, he attacked Astor with the help of Neiying, and defeated Astor in the first battle, and then he gave a speech in Astor in which he systematically explained his ideals to the inhabitants of Bourbon, so that Bourbon could be freed from the war that had lasted for more than 30 years and restore the long-lost peace.
[The central area of the old channel is separated by a river (the river that Leng Yi made with the Seagod vest) and is divided into the west bank and the east bank, and the east bank is a very closed peninsula because of the existence of the Naira Strait, which can only be accessed by land, and on the east bank peninsula, there are Astor on the west side, Willis in the center, Maca in the north, Xiben in the west, Pasico in the southwest, Osido a little east of Basicodo, and Naira who guards the main road. 】
After the speech, he began to conquer the west, using Astor as a base.
At first, the nobles were not impressed by Felison's claims, and often mocked him for the fact that he was a member of the Germak family, but civilians and former mercenaries like me defected to him one after another, and Felison soon had a large army.
At first, the "consuls" were unimpressed, believing that a mob was not the same as an army, and that the mercenaries would surely be disbanded after Felison could not pay his mercenaries, so only the consul of Willis thought of raising his troops and trying to attack Felison.
Astor is located in the eastern part of the Central District, separated from Naira by forests in the south, and after the twenty-fourth consul, Bourbon's navy has almost collapsed, so only the army can attack Astor, and the only main city bordering Astor is Willis.
Our army fought a battle with the army of the Governor of Willis, and as a result of the collapse of the army of the Governor of Willis, we were victorious, and Felison took advantage of this advantage to take Willis.
After conquering Willis, Felison first went north to pacify Maga and Siebon (the home of the minor nobleman Lul).
In just one year, Felison had captured four of the main cities, which provoked panic among the governors, who claimed to restore order in Bourbon and bring the "Germak family back to where he belongs."
The Governors were very active, and even several of the neighboring nobles of the Southern District joined the reinforcements, and they came from Ann to Tubundo, forming a desperately large siege network, not to mention the support of Boris behind them.
In the face of this terrible offensive, many who had been confident before were immediately frightened, and in those days there were deserters fleeing from the ranks, but Felison always believed that victory would be ours, and encouraged those who retreated.
At the beginning of the war, the Archons of Aurai and Migaan crossed the Old Passage to attack Maca and Siebon, while the other Archons united in gathering in Naira and Osido and began to march towards Velis.
In the face of the attack, Felison led our main force south from Xiben, preemptively capturing Basicodo, and then attacking Osido and Naira, locking the Governor's coalition forces on the eastern peninsula.
After defeating Willis, the coalition of the consuls heard the news of the fall of Naira and could only rush to Naira without stopping, so they walked into the battlefield chosen by Felison, and then ushered in a crushing defeat.
After repelling this group of main forces, Felisun rushed north to recover the captured Siben and Maca, thus gaining the first victory against the encirclement.
Although we made an ambush, before the battle began, even I, who had always blindly believed in Felison, had trembling hands, after all, there were too many people on the other side, and although each of the governors did not exert all their strength, their armies combined could still overwhelm us.
Finally, after a brief period of repairs, Felison moved south to capture Pasicodo and Osito, taking control of the entire eastern peninsula except the Naira.
I have participated in all of Lord Felison's military operations this year, and it is not easy to fight this sixty-year-old bone, but I gritted my teeth and persevered, just to see the future that Lord Felison promised.
And, privately, I told Lord Felison my greatest secret, that I was the same Lure X of more than thirty years ago, and Mistress Felison was only stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal, telling me that he would not give up his new appointment to me because of this.
After the autumn harvest of 1475, Lord Felison said that he had received a top-secret message that a second Felison siege attack was coming, this time on a larger scale than the last.
This time they will attack in three directions, the Governors of the Southern Region will concentrate on Doroth and then attack through Naira, the Governors of the West Bank Peninsula will concentrate in Boris and cross the sea to attack Siben, and the remaining Governors of the Central Region will concentrate on Murad and cross the sea to attack Osidor.
"Oh my God, why would they target your lordship so much? Even Germak wouldn't have done this, would he? And my lord, where did you get this kind of information?"
"There is only one force that can organize such a huge offensive plan in Bourbon, and can bring together so many forces that hate each other's governors," said this, Lord Felison's eyes froze, and I vaguely guessed who was behind it, "Southern. ”
[The Bourbon people are accustomed to calling Boris Southern, because the abbreviation of Boris is the same as the name of the Bourbon capital, although Boris has been beaten into a mess now, but this habit has not changed. 】
"But why is the South so directed against Lord Felison?" asked the other general.
"Maybe the people of Napolika left a last word before they died, saying that they should be careful that the person who had children's advice returned to Bourbon. As he said this, Lord Felison wondered, was he thinking of the Napolica, which had been gone for decades?
"In addition, if the southern people are still working so hard to implement Napolika and their will, it means that it must be profitable to carry out Napolika's plan, and they must want to do something after the victory of the siege, and they want to use me to change something. ”
"What then, has Lord Felison guessed the other party's plan?"
"I can't guess, and I don't need to guess, as long as I break the siege this time, their plan will naturally go bankrupt, and then I don't need to guess another plan that has gone bankrupt," at the end, Lord Felison showed a mysterious expression again, "As for why I knew their plan? This is another interesting secret, and soon this secret will bring them a big surprise." ”
I was relieved to see Lord Felison's demeanor, and as long as Mistress Felison remained in this confident demeanor, I had the confidence to continue walking with him, to see the future he had promised, and of course to pray that Lord Poseidon would bless me and make my old body last until that time.
The war of the second encirclement began, and due to the absolute numerical disparity, our army retreated one after another, retreating to Willis in less than three months.
On the outskirts of Willis, we had the "last" despair with the army of the encirclement, not to mention the encirclement, and many people, including our army, believed that this was a war that must be lost, and there were countless deserters and traitors long before the war.
For example, at the last military meeting, some generals and generals knew that the news of the military operation of the siege network leaked out, so that the siege network launched an operation to eliminate the spy in advance, and I don't know if the spy who delivered the news died under the butcher's knife of the other party.
At the beginning of the battle, as all those with military experience expected, because of the disadvantage in numbers, we were overwhelmed by the overwhelming long-range fire of the opponent, and I was worried that our troops might collapse before the opponent's melee troops arrived.
Just when we all thought we were going to lose, an accident happened, the enemy's Chinese army actually had a riot, and then the news of the death of the main general kept coming, and then the opponent's ranged troops and melee reserves actually collapsed directly, leaving the melee troops who had just fought with us here in a daze.
Although I don't know what's going on, how can we, the generals who have fought in old battles, let go of this opportunity and seize the opportunity to counterattack them and defeat them.
Then, in pursuit, Lord Felison told us another order, that the siege soldiers gathered under the banner of Naboba were our allies, and that they should join them in the pursuit to kill the enemy.
You know, the current president of the Naboba family, Lul Naboba, is the commander-in-chief of the East Road of the Siege Network, in other words, the three leaders of the Siege Network, and he is actually on the side of Lord Felison!
In response to our question, Lord Felison replied with a smile, "Your Excellency Lull and I have been friends since childhood, and fifty years have not diluted our friendship. ”
"Lord Felison, you are gambling and putting all of our lives on the lives of Lord Lure Naboba, but why do you trust him so much that he will keep his promise?" I asked.
"Because we share a common goal," was Lord Felison's reply.
[Don't forget, Lul and Felison are both Heroic Spirits of the Bourbon camp, and they are the last two Heroic Spirits to live, and the Heroic Spirits of the other camps have passed away one after another because of their approaching life. 】
On that day, we once again ushered in a glorious victory, and after this victory, the siege network was completely dissolved, and it took another year for Lord Felison to finally succeed in unifying Bourbon in the Great Calendar and crowning him as the 121st Governor of Bourbon, Felison XIV.
It was the year 1476 of the Great Calendar, and at that time, at the age of 62, I had come to the end of my life.
At the end of his life, Lord Felison XIV acceded to my humble request to visit Boris again, and even accompanied me himself.
In the company of Lord Felison XIV, I told him about the bits and pieces of Boris I remembered, the years that had passed, the three marriages and the death of my children three times.
The place where I spoke with Lord Felison XIV was at the Palais des Congaries. I remember that more than thirty years ago, I fended off an attack by New Loul IX here, and in the end, I failed, and as a result, a brutal massacre took place here.
In addition, Lord Felison XIV did something that touched me, he recognized me, and the position of the old Luhr IX, so that he was the 121st Governor of Bourbon, not the 119th (Bourbon traditionally did not recognize the status of the old Loul IX and Loul X).
Lord Felison XIV initially wanted the old and new Luhr IX to return to their proper order, but decided that this was already the case, so he abandoned the change. Still, he instructed the clerk that when the next Luhr became consul, it would be counted from Lul XII - because I was supposed to be Luhl XI.
As I chatted, my body declined even more, and I finally looked at the familiar land, the familiar and strange Boris.
In the past few decades, Boris has been tossed almost into a ghost town, the Palais des Congrenese, which once represented Bourbon's highest honor, and the Place de Mies, which carries the glory of Bourbon, have been buried in the flames of war, leaving only the conference hall of the Palais des Congreum still with some infrastructure and indelible bloodstains.
The splendid decorations of the Palace of the Great Assembly have long since been stolen, so that it is now dilapidated, and moss crawls all over the palace, and those who do not know may think that this is a ruin.
And is this palace the same as the Bourbon it is today? Although it still survives, it has decayed, and the catastrophe of more than thirty years has almost caused it to fall apart, and it has lost all influence.
How far can Bourbon go? Will it be destroyed? What has our generation done?
I think it was because of this guilt that I chose to abandon all personal honor and disgrace and stand unswervingly with Felison XIV.
For I will make atonement for my sins, for the sins that caused this ruin.
Now that there is no more civil war in Bourbon, and Felison XIV has fulfilled his promise to gather Bourbon once again under one banner, my sins seem to have been atoned for, right?
Although the Bourbon is unified, how long can this rotten shelf last in this increasingly turbulent three seas? Thinking of this, I panic for no reason, that kind of great panic between life and death.
Sitting on the shattered land, once the most glorious of Meate Square, with the ruins of the Palace of the General Assembly against its back, my breath grew weaker and weaker.
"I tried my best, I really...... Do your best, Bourbon, will you forgive me?"
