Records of the Holy Congregation of the Scribe de Grefa:

It was the first day of the Holy Falcon Empire's Sacred Meeting, and the Holy Emperor Tobias Falken was dressed and prepared for the triennial Divine Meeting, accompanied by his ministers.

The participants included members of the envoys of the Kingdom of Ahmad; Duke of the Executioner: Gegit Exkushin; Duke of Running Wolf: Slava Wolf; Duke Griffon's legal heirs: Luke Griffinhardt; Baroness of the Great Whale: Elizabeth Delcula; Duke of Iron Fist: Bill Sandre.

The main topics of this holy meeting were the negotiation of the tariff rate of bulk trade with the kingdom of Ahmad and the war tilt of the Isis Empire.

The Lord Exkushin and Lord Sandre believed that the Holy Falcon Empire should take strong measures and exert maximum pressure on the Ahmad Kingdom to obtain a higher trade rate; The Duke of Runwolf, the legal heir of Duke Griffon, and the Lady of the Whale preferred to exchange a lower trade rate for peace between the two sides, and on this condition that the Kingdom of Ahmad open up the types of goods that are prohibited or restricted from trade, such as ice, herbs, wood, and explosive oil.

His Majesty the Wise Emperor decided on the final plan after an afternoon of discussion.

The Ahmad Kingdom opened trade restrictions on explosive oil and date palms, and a copper mine at the junction of the Ahmad Kingdom and the Giant Whale Territory was jointly mined by the two sides, and the mining consumption was borne by the Ahmad Kingdom itself, and the two sides divided the mined resources in a ratio of 6 to 4. For the trade of wood and fur, the Holy Falcon Empire increases taxes by 3.5%, and reduces the taxes of the Gold, Gem, and Stone Trade Empire by 12.7%.

The Ahmad Legation expressed its gratitude and respect for the wisdom and benevolence of the Holy Emperor Tobias Falken of the Holy Falcon Empire. However, the envoys of the Kingdom of Ahmad expressed their indignation at the poisoning of the clerk in the ranks.

The Emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter and was sure to give a satisfactory answer to the envoys of the Kingdom of Ahmad. The emperor said that there must be someone trying to sabotage the negotiations between the two sides, and that it was the despicable forces in the country who were sowing discord. In line with the principle of friendship and cooperation between the two sides, the Ahmad envoys are asked to be calm.

His Majesty the Emperor announced the end of today's regular meeting, and after a day's rest, he discussed the war in the Isis Empire.

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

The battle was heated from the start. There was a fierce exchange of infantry on both sides. The Tangennes Army is a mixture of the Guillotine Regiment and the Executioner Regiment. The Guillotine Regiment is an elite light infantry armed with a decapitator. Even so, their so-called light armament was only relative to the rest of the Tangnis armies.

In fact, for the Guillotine Legion, they don't have only small round shields and leather armor like the armies of other lords. Each of them was armed with a light triangular shield, which Gegit provided for all armies, and the nobles and knights did not need to bring their own - they only had to bring their own rations.

The soldiers wore stiff cloth armor on the inside, the main outer armor was chain mail, and on the outside of the chain mail, they were also covered with a smock made of hard leather. The lower body wore skirt armor made of iron sheets, and was also equipped with chain socks, and some soldiers also made some linen or leather leg guards and knee pads.

Commanders and sergeants of these soldiers also wore chain hoods or hoods, and wore a full iron helmet on the outside. They also have metal shoes, but they are uncomfortable to wear, so many people don't want to wear them, while the rest choose to put some soft leather inside the shoes to make them less abrasive.

Thanks to the protection of the whole body of well-equipped armor, this light infantry is more capable of stimulating combat effectiveness. The decapitators in their hands are all maintained with oil extracted from the fat of herbivores. The oil is very well lubricated and slowly replenishes the gaps in damaged knives, so Tangenis hunts and stores their grease in large numbers.

And the executioner corps is the spear corps, which is a kind of heavy armor corps. The Executioners carried a round iron shield on their backs and pot-shaped helmets on their heads. They wore scale armor, which was lighter than chain mail, but this was only used as an inner lining, and on the outside of the scale armor, they wore chain mail robes. Their chained stockings were connected to their shoes, and on the outside were leggings made of iron, much more elaborate than those of the Guillotine Corps.

The above is only the standard equipment of the executioner corps, and the equipment of the executor corps is also divided into two types according to different functions. They usually fight in two people, one holding a tower shield in both hands to form a shield wall in the front row, and the other holding a spear to poke through the gap in the shield wall - this is also the standard equipment of the spear corps.

However, the Executioners were better armoured, more disciplined, and sharper in their weapons, so they always won the final victory with lower battle losses than the enemy.

"My lord! The battle losses of our army are rapidly expanding! There are too many enemies! Babud said to old Griffinhardt after riding on a griffin and shooting down a spearman. Old Griffinhardt threw a throwing axe, which was accurately embedded in the head of an enemy, and he ordered the griffon to float slightly, and asked, "What about our cavalry troops?" ”

"Haven't reached the enemy flank yet!" Babud shouted.

"Listen to me, griffons take to the skies! All griffons dive to attack! After old Griffinhardt finished speaking, he took off first, and then took out a bone whistle and blew a quick whistle. All the griffons under the crotch of the Eagle Fighter all looked up, as if they felt the call of something. Old Griffinhardt's griffin spread its golden wings and let out a rapid, high-pitched chirp.

Just as the Eagle King commanded the eagles, all the griffons followed the King into the air, gliding, and diving.

In the face of the dark swooping of hundreds of griffins, some of the soldiers of Tanganis were timid. The flock of griffons descended from the sky above the forest, even obscuring the sun's brilliance for a while. The griffons slashed into the army of Tanganis like swords. The powerful impact instantly tore several openings in the enemy's formation.

The impact of the griffons sent a series of ripples, and it was only after a few tens of meters of collision that it stopped. The griffon-led soldiers were boosted by this swarm blow, and it was visible to the naked eye that the soldiers were fighting even harder.

"Don't mess around! Shield-bearer, resist! Executioner Corps spear stab! The Guillotine Legion besieges the griffons! Napolion shouted with all his might, waving the flag.

After a period of chaos, the entire army of Tangnes held its ground. The griffons lost their striking power and swung their claws on the ground to kill their enemies, and the Eagle Fighter drew his axe and drew his sword to slash.

However, the Targnis army was outnumbered, and although the charge killed and wounded nearly 1,000 Targnis soldiers, Napolion's command stabilized the morale of the army. Three or five shield-bearers stood in front, and a dozen legions of guillotines surrounded a griffin and slashed. A large number of griffons failed to rise again, leaving behind a large mass of corpses, their scattered feathers stained with golden and red blood, all of which turned into the soil of the Mist Forest.

"How many Eagle Fighters have you lost?" Old Griffinhardt was old after all, and after this fierce white-knuckle battle, he was out of breath at the moment.

"At least 300 griffons and 170 eagle fighters." Violetta stroked her hair, which was neither long nor short, and said in a voice that was not too long or too short.

"The losses are too great! We don't make much money on this deal. Sandos sighed.

"Please don't judge a war by this kind of businessmanship, my lordship." Violetta said.

"We've got to retreat! More than a quarter of the army was killed or wounded. The enemy's army was too numerous, and we were overwhelmingly disadvantaged in field encounters. Violetta suggested.

"I think so too, we should retreat in the direction of the logging fortress. Still, look, our cavalry is storming the enemy's flank. We should take advantage of this advantage to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise once the cavalry loses the advantage of charging and flanking, we will have to give it all here! The forest terrain was not conducive to cavalry charging and killing! In the midst of the chaotic fighting, our crossbowmen could not shoot smoothly. However, our new bolts work surprisingly well, and we should take advantage of the walls of the Timber Fortress! Babud said.

"Let the archers and crossbowmen retreat first, and lay ambushes on both sides of our retreat route. After the cavalry charged, they were ordered to advance directly towards the logging fortress, and the rest of the army retreated! Old Griffin Hart ordered.

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

"The enemy has retreated! Sir! "A sergeant reports to Napolion and Foster.

"The retreat was too sudden, the enemy was not even half damaged, there is a conspiracy here." Napolion said.

"The chicks are scared! It's a great time for us to take advantage of the victory! Pursuit! Pursuit! Foster shouted as he jumped to tiptoe.

"Alas, well, the whole army is in pursuit, but march cautiously, send out scouts, and report anything unusual at any time." Napolion said.
