Records of the Holy Congregation of the Scribe de Grefa:

The Holy Rite was postponed for two days, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor summoned Kiruj Wadden, the Commander of the Falkenridge Garrison and Sheriff, to discuss in depth the poisoning of members of the Alhammed Kingdom Legation.

Kiruj Wadden, the chief of the Falkenridge garrison and sheriff, believes that there are people or forces that are stirring up a wedge between the empire and the kingdom of Ahmad, including the murder of the queen of the kingdom of Ahmad a few years ago.

The Emperor summoned the envoys of the Kingdom of Ahmad yesterday and explained the ins and outs of the matter. The envoys expressed their understanding and immediately made it clear to His Majesty the Emperor that no one or force could provoke the hard-won peace of the Kingdom of Ahmad and the Empire. This peace has been maintained for more than a decade, and neither side wants another dispute.

Today's postponed sacred regular meeting was held, and His Majesty the Emperor was a little sluggish. As far as I know, Your Majesty has been so exhausted that he has not closed his eyes for more than a day.

To his astonishment, Lord Griffinhart, Lord Worf, and Lord Delcula all appeared to be in low spirits, and Lord Griffinhart's dark circles were particularly noticeable, but His Majesty the Merciful Emperor only looked at the young Lord for a moment without reproaching him.

The envoys of the Kingdom of Ahmad did not attend today, and they were visiting Falkenridge under the leadership of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ollie Grande.

When the envoys of the Ahmad Kingdom came to visit the emperor, they presented a large number of dates and a small number of date palm seeds, more than a dozen exquisite Ahmad tapestries, more than 30 sand silk shawls, three barrels of special spices, 10 camels and 1 steel wrought scimitar.

The Emperor was so pleased with the scimitar that he loved it—it was not only a weapon of the greatest force, but also a hilt inlaid with the Desert Rose, one of Ahmad's most precious jewels. Therefore, the Emperor instructed the Foreign Secretary, Sandra Hugo, to prepare gifts for the envoys of the Kingdom of Ahmad that would reflect the strength and status of the empire.

The Emperor and the Lords have been fighting for a long time over the matter of co-opting Sandor and the United States to invade the Isis Empire by force. The faction led by Lord Gegit believed that they should take advantage of the border of the Ahmad Kingdom, and the Whale Leader and the Lord of Tanganis should stand along the Nirros River to Carola, the holy capital of the Isis Empire, and capture the female pharaoh Cleopatra III alive; The faction led by Lord Dracula believes that the empire should now focus on developing commerce and trade, and should not start wars lightly, and the empire should unite with the Sandor, the Azorius Empire, and the Ahmad Kingdom to open a trade blockade against the Isis Empire, forcing them to cede land, give profits, and open up the right to control the pricing of goods.

Master Gage disagreed, apparently believing that it was too slow to work. The Countess explained to the Emperor, 'Although this method is not very efficient, it can obtain continuous and stable benefits, and if it is done well, it can even actually turn the Isis Empire into a domain of the Holy Falcon Empire. ’

Lord Gegit thought that this was a soft method only used by women, and that His Majesty the Emperor was known for his martial arts, and that the adoption of such a scheme would damage the Emperor's reputation. In addition, there are many new nobles in both the capital and the major territories, and there are not so many territories and fiefs that can divide them. The knights and nobles who could not get the fiefs were bound to become dissatisfied over time, and at least they passively avoided war, did not respond to the levies and taxes of the lord and emperor, and at worst led to rebellion.

Master Gage spoke in a coherent manner, and was clearly prepared. The countess was speechless for a moment, her face crimson, and she could only repeat softly what she had said.

And Lord Griffinhart and Lord Wolf of the countess's faction rarely did not help this time, and it seemed that they had their own plans—which ushered in the countess's angry glare at the two. Master Griffinhart smiled awkwardly, while Master Wolf pursed his lips tightly and furrowed his eyebrows without saying a word.

The emperor ordered the meeting to be adjourned, and the meeting will be discussed in a few days, and the specific time will be notified separately.

"Rice bucket! Eater! "Foster threw a tantrum in the tent." You can't even see that this is a trap, you, tell me, how many men we have lost? Foster pointed to a tall sergeant, his nose almost touching his chin.

The non-commissioned officer stammered, "Commander Foster, with our previous battle damage, we have killed or wounded about 3,300 people in total, and the damage is almost half. ”

"Half! We lost half of our army! We lost half of our troops before we even touched the edge of the logging fortress, what do you want me to explain to the master of Tangenis? Take your head? Foster didn't care about the etiquette of the nobility at this moment, and his saliva sprayed the sergeant's face, but the sergeant just stiffened his face and didn't dare to wipe it.

"Lord Foster, I should be responsible for this mistake. If you hadn't seen through the enemy's strategy and drove troops to support in the rear, we might have been wiped out by this moment. I didn't expect the griffon tie to have so many spellcasters, though—they cast powerful illusions that blinded our perceptions; I didn't even think of old Griffin Hart. Napolion stated the facts and slapped Forster's ass vigorously in the hope that his anger would calm down a little.

This trick really worked, after all, it was not the first time that Napolion had encountered such a situation. With more time to work with Foster's rice bucket, Nabolion knows how to stuff Foster with a costless sycophant. Foster was slightly more comfortable after listening to Napoleon's explanation. Now, he sat on the bunk and watched the crowd of people standing in front of the bed, sulking to himself - he certainly didn't think it was all due to his presumptuous orders, and there didn't seem to be any thoughts in his head that 'I might make a mistake'.

However, in fact, how many of these nobles will reflect on the rice buckets? Most rice buckets just think that they are not wrong, and they will never be wrong. When something goes wrong, it must be someone else's fault, and if everyone blames them, they blame fate.

"Rubbish! Eater! Maggots! Shit! Foster sat on the bed and cursed at the group of non-commissioned officers one by one. When he came to Napolyon, he stopped. He knew he had to fight on Naborion—God, he really knew he hadn't actually fought. So he decided to give Napoleon a little face, so he scolded him, and Foster put his hands on his chest and stopped. The non-commissioned officers behind Napolion were naturally relieved.

"Your Excellency, Lord Foster. We may now be in a situation where we have to enable "those things". Napolion said.

"I don't care what happens to 'those things', I just know that if I can't defeat the Logging Fortress, my reputation will be over. I approve you of the use of "those things", and if "they" go into battle, we will surely be able to achieve a great victory—that lady assured me, and she assured the Master of Tanganis. Foster said nonchalantly.

Napolion nodded, already having a plan in mind to attack the Logging Fortress. Just as he was about to leave the tent, Foster's advice came from behind him: "Napolion, Tanguness can only have one voice, and I hope that the logging fortress is also full of this sound, at any cost, do you understand?" ”

"Lord Griffinhart, did you have an accident? This situation is different from the appointment. Elpala said.

"Ma'am! Let my people get ready first, and we'll talk about the details later, okay? Time is tight! Sandos shouted.

"Alright, then please rest your army first, we will give priority to dressing and healing the wounds of the wounded, Geville, order the kitchen to cook at once, let our allies feast, and take out fifteen barrels of wine stored in the cellar." Elpala commanded.

"Yes, ma'am! Sam, tell York to cook immediately and make more broth. Also, make some extra porridge and give it to the injured and sick. In addition, inform Pete to lead the scout team out of the city to be on guard, and report any changes immediately! Send some more men out! Langford and Tom were quickly returned to the city, and the logging team was suspended. Let Father Rudolph quickly organize the grandmothers to treat the wounded soldiers! "Gvir is well organized, and obviously after all these years of training, he seems to have what it takes to be a good commander - no worse than Anthony, and in character, better than Anthony.

Old Griffinhardt gave the young man an approving look, then took off his helmet and entered the tent. Santos thought to himself, 'It's really old, young people are blue.' Our reign will one day come to an end, and the world was ours and it will not be long before ... No, now, it's the young people. ’

"Master Griffinhardt, what the hell is going on?" As the group sat down in the tent, Elpala asked.

"Hey... Babde, come on. Sandos sighed and said weakly.

"Ms. Claire, Mr. Wolf. We met the army of Tangenness on the way to the logging fortress, no, it should be said, the army of Tangenness met us. ”

"What's going on? General Babud, please be clear. Elpala asked.

"We were walking so fast that we didn't expect the Tangnis soldiers to advance so slowly, and they appeared behind us. There was a fierce battle between our sides, and the Tangnis army had close to 7,000 men, while we had only about 3,000. We managed to escape with all kinds of tactics, but the losses were great, and there were less than 2,000 soldiers left to flank Tanguness. The number of infantry of the 2,000 men was small, and most of the infantry died in white-knuckle combat, but our archers and cavalry were well organized, and defending the city would have a great advantage. Babud explained.

"What is the situation of the enemy's army?" Giver asked.

"The enemy army was originally close to 7,000 men, led by Napolion. The main composition is the Executioner Corps and the Guillotine Corps, both of which are infantry. After a head-on clash of encounters and a wave of ambushes during the retreat, it is conservatively estimated that about a third of the enemy forces were annihilated, that is, nearly 4,500 men remained. ”

"The Logging Fortress only has 800 standing troops, and now Jon's reinforcements are still on the way, and it is expected to take another three days to arrive, which means that we are 2,800 men and 4,500 men are definitely not good." Elpala said.

"No, it's 2,300 that is absolutely bad for 4,500," Violetta added.

"Nope! If Tangnes doesn't have hole cards, I think we're the absolute advantage. Giver disagreed.

Old Griffinhardt was intrigued by the young man, so he said, "Oh? Tell me, little one, how do we have an advantage? ”
