The snow was fine, and the sky and the earth were silvery white.

This is the city of Maringuan in the northern part of the Hig Empire, which borders the hills of Togo.

Marin Pass is famous for the Togo Hills Battle between humans and orcs in the past, and after more than 300 years, things are not human. The orcs had long since retreated to the north of the Sunset Meadow, and Marin Pass had never played the role of a mainstay on the battlefield again.

At the head of the city stood several figures, facing the north, seemingly admiring the snow. The leader was a tall and thin man dressed in a thick fur, but underneath the fur. The man leaned on the battlements and looked into the distance, his eyes were complicated, as if the ancient battlefield in the distance had aroused something on his mind.

"Young Master, we have been out for a long time and need to go back. ”

An elderly servant walked up to the man, gently patted the snowflakes off his shoulder, and said with concern.

The man who was called the young master was none other than Moses Trorens, the young lord of Marlin Guan and the son of the old Marquis of Trorense. Moses was congenitally weak and could not stand the cold winds of winter, and it was rare to be able to enjoy the snow at the head of the city for a while today.

"Let's go!"

Moses realized that his body was still feeling frozen despite his thick fur, and he knew that his weak constitution was not fit to stay in the snow for a long time, so he withdrew his gaze and got out of the city with the help of several servants, and got into the carriage that had been waiting there.

"It's just nonsense! It's freezing outside, who let you take the young master out?"

As soon as the carriage returned to the palace, it ran into the Marquis of Trorence, who angrily reprimanded the servants.

"Don't blame them, I forced them to take me out!"

A smile appeared on Moses' pale face and stopped his father.

"Come into the house. ”

The old marquis couldn't bear to blame his son, so he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Moses into the study, where the ceiling of the study was equipped with an air-conditioning magic array, from which a stream of hot wind blew out to drive away the cold air on people.

"Go and get the young master's medicine. ”

The old marquis commanded. The servant soon brought in a delicate brocade box, and when the lid was opened, a pale green pill was revealed, and with it a lively smell, like the smell of an early spring field. The servant crushed the pill, mixed it with hot water, and served Moses to drink.

"Father, I've been reading the battle report of the Battle of ValenPass that took place last winter for the past two days. ”

After drinking the medicine, Moses seemed to feel much more comfortable, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, he took off his fur and sat on a chair looking at the magic array on the roof.

"What's the catch?"

The old marquis looked at his son, he understood his son's psychology very well, Moses dreamed of being able to lead the army to defeat the orcs since he was a child, but this dream obviously could not be realized, so in order to compensate the old marquis, he often made some war reports about Yus and the orcs for his son to analyze and deduce, which was considered to be a consolation.

"This magician named Alan is not simple, his use of magicians has completely changed the situation on the battlefield, I deduce that the Yus Empire is not his opponent, sooner or later Higg will also meet him on the battlefield, so the military department must prepare early. ”

Moses withdrew his gaze from the roof and said to his father in a solemn tone.

"The matter of fighting is handled by people from the military department, and there are people from the Holy See who also assist. I'm at home now, and you're not in good health, so don't waste your time on this. ”

The old marquis picked up the parchment scroll on his desk, which was supposed to be a notebook of Moses, and he flipped through a few pages, which were full of flag-bearers in different poses, and under each villain there were dense words to explain the meaning contained in them, these were all flags used to convey military orders, but there were many more flags than those used by ordinary armies. Obviously, although he was not in good health, Moses never gave up the study of marching and fighting, which was what the old marquis worried about him the most.

"Father, my health has improved since taking the pill you bought from the north. ”

Moses stood up, stretched out his arms on the floor, and kicked his legs, which were not comparable to normal people, but they were much stronger than before.

"This pill is indeed miraculous, and it cures the congenital deficiencies of the body. However, since Higg's conversion to the Holy See, it has been forbidden to purchase drugs from the north, and all drugs from the north are smuggled in. You've just taken the last one. ”

"This medicine is very important to me, my father has to use some connections no matter what, if not, he can directly send someone to Yusi to buy medicine. ”

When he heard that the medicine that would help him recover might be out of stock, Moses was anxious.

"The origin of this medicine is not Yus, but the ancient city of Okus, after the coup d'état, the relationship with the ancient city of Okusz is very tense, and the smuggling channel has been completely blocked. ”

The old marquis said helplessly.

"It's the ancient city of Aogu again!"

Hearing that the origin of the pill was actually the ancient city of Aogu, Moses's face changed.

"Son, don't worry. I have heard that General Ford has a channel to get medicine from the north, but the price is very high, and I have sent someone to contact him, as long as I can get medicine, gold is not a problem. ”

The old marquis patted his son on the shoulder and comforted.

"General Ford?"

Moses was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted: "You're talking about the straw bag general who was promoted by luck?"

General Ford's rocket-like rise is related to the suppression of the Bols bandits in the first place, but these credits fell into the eyes of Moses and nothing more than Ford's shit luck, otherwise Ford's ability to command the war would not be worthy of Bols's shoes.

"General Straw Bale is the nickname you give to others, although Ford is not very good at marching and fighting, but he acts exquisitely, is righteous and squandering money, and is very appreciated by the military bosses, and the future is limitless. ”

Hearing his son call Ford a straw bale, the old marquis couldn't help but laugh.

"The dignified Higg Eagle was destroyed in the hands of this group of bales. ”

Thinking that Ford's straw bales can be mixed like a fish in water in the military department, Moses, who is full of talent but has nowhere to show it, can only sigh helplessly.

-------------------------------------

"Master Kanter, please hand over the fugitive Lawrence Yus at once, or the Empire will send troops to conquer the ancient city of Okusan, and when the army arrives, the jade will be burned. ”

Just when the Trorentens father and son were worried about Moses' medicine and Higg's future, the envoys representing the Yuss Empire and the Holy See had arrived in the ancient city of Augu. Among them, the attitude of the envoy of the Yuss Empire was very tough, and as soon as they met, they sternly demanded that Alan hand over the eldest prince. If Steven hadn't stopped him, the eldest prince who heard the news would have almost immediately ordered the envoy to be beheaded for public display.

Unlike the hard-line attitude of the court of Yuss, the attitude of the Holy See was much more peaceful. First of all, they affirmed the outstanding contribution made by the forces of the ancient city state led by Allen in resisting the orc invasion last year, and even brought the oracle medal of the highest level of the Holy See issued by the Pope himself to Allen. Considering that two years ago Allen was a fugitive wanted by the Holy See across the continent, there is an indescribable irony in this change. Secondly, the Holy See is willing to discuss the lifting of the agreement signed three hundred years ago to impose sanctions on the Gothas, but they are firmly opposed to the unilateral termination of the agreement by any force. Finally, on the issue of the ownership of the throne of the Yus Emperor, the Holy See also suggested that the two sides sit down and settle it through negotiations, as for the final result, it doesn't matter whether the Grand Prince or the Second Prince is the Holy See, what they really care about is not to cause a civil war and the lives of the Yusi Empire because of the competition for the throne.

Alan scoffed at the Holy See's proposal, he knew too well the vicious face of the Holy See behind the mask of hypocrisy, and if he really believed that they would return to neutrality, he might be eaten to the bone. However, Alan decided to make a false deal with them first, and he asked Steven to negotiate with the representative of the ancient city of Oysterton and the representative of the Holy See, and asked Steven not to sit on the ground to pay the money despite the exorbitant asking price, while he himself went to Capra Pass.

After the New Year, His Majesty the Emperor Lawrence, who had just been proclaimed in office, canonized Allen as the commander of the counterinsurgency, and followed by a series of appointments issued by Allen, in which a large number of officers were promoted, including the Cadet Corps.

During the appointment, Stanny Andy was promoted to first deputy commander, because the regimental commander Allen had too many things to do and was often absent from the army, so this first deputy commander was mostly in charge of the army instead of the regimental commander. Originally, Alan was going to directly promote Stanny as the leader, but Isha and Havech advised him not to be in a hurry, after all, Stanny was not a Godsa, and Alan had publicly announced that he would take the nomads back to the grassland, coupled with the previous incident of the families of the fallen soldiers, and now giving up the Youth League and taking other legions to the south will inevitably not make the nomads think that he is picking on a child, so Isha and Havech suggested that Alan should wait for the time to be ripe before giving up the position of regiment leader.

After Stanny, Morey and Ronan were also appointed deputy regimental commanders respectively, and the officers below them were naturally promoted.

And among all the appointments, the most notable is Miranda Claire, although she has also served in the Youth League before, but there is no official appointment, and this time Alan is going to set up a magic brigade in the Youth League, the magic team not only has to command magicians to participate in combat, but also to carry out magician training, and all magic apprentices are selected from the nomads, which is equivalent to building a magic school for the nomads, and the captain is the principal of this school. Therefore, the choice of the captain of the magic team is very important, and only one can be selected from Miranda and Feiqi, both of whom are all disciples of Allen. And the reason why Alan finally chose Miranda, the reason why it was made public was because Feige was very good at the production of magic scrolls, so Alan wanted to transfer Feige back to the Aogucheng Academy of Magic to be responsible for the teaching of magic scrolls, and the real reason was that Alan wanted to keep Miranda by Stanny's side. At the height of the defense of Capra Pass, Stanny was ready to send Miranda out of the level that could fall at any time, but he finally gave up because of Miranda's words, and it was rumored in the army that Miranda promised to marry Stanny at that time. Alan later learned about it and asked the two men separately, and although Miranda refused to tell, Stanny confirmed the rumors. In Ellen's heart, Stanny is the most suitable man for Miranda, so he wants to prepare early to keep Sunny by Stanny's side forever.
