Recently, the Marquis de Charles has been in a bad mood, really bad, because... He's no longer the master of Dawn.

The Wall of Life in Dawn City was breached by Nidhogg a few months ago, and while repairing the wall, the Federation's engineering team discovered that the walls of the Wall of Life were suffering from metal fatigue in several parts of the wall and needed to be replaced on a large scale.

After analyzing the geographical location and personnel advantages of Dawn City, the headquarters of the Federal Asia-Pacific Theater simply carried out a large-scale expansion of Dawn City based on the people's livelihood, economy, and military aspects.

The original wall of life of Dawn City has been retained as a support for the time being, and a large-scale advance base has been established on the periphery to build a new wall of life, which is expected to be completed within 3 years, and once completed, the area of Dawn City will more than double.

The expansion of Dawn City is not as simple as it seems, but has a deeper political implication, the reason is that the Federal Asia-Pacific Theater Headquarters has transferred a "Grand Duke" to Dawn City.

In the title system of "dukes and princesses", the grand duke is a title above the duke, and there are only three in the territory at present, all of which are entrenched in the republican federal condominium south of the Yangtze River.

In addition to the commander-in-chief Agronso, these three archdukes are the political supreme leaders in the condominium region, with their own independent territory, army, and cube squad, as a political strategic deterrent, containing the local forces of the republic.

The status of the three archdukes in the Federation is equivalent to that of the three generals of the Republic, and they are absolute heavyweights.

As for the Marquis of Charles, he has received a written notice from the Federation, only one handover ceremony is missing, after the handover, he is only the second person in Dawn City, no longer the boss who called for wind and rain before, although the title remains the same, but the power in his hands has basically been taken over by this archduke.

The political implication of this is likely to be related to the independence referendum that took place during the Northern Expedition, and the commander-in-chief Aglonso wanted to develop this place into an advance base for ideological encroachment, and little by little softly infiltrate the radiance of the republic.

At this moment, the Marquis Charles was meeting the Grand Duke's attendant in the meeting room, and the noblely dressed attendant seemed to have long been accustomed to raising his head slightly, looking at the Marquis Charles with a chuckle, and said elegantly: "I hope the future handover will go well, Marquis Charles." ”

"Please say hello to Archduke Invid on my behalf, and welcome him at any time." Although the Marquis Charles was scolding his mother in his heart, he still respectfully owed himself on the surface.

After the Grand Duke's attendant left, the Marquis of Charles's emotions exploded directly, angrily lifted the table, grabbed a maid and pressed it against the wall, lifted his skirt and untied his belt and pushed it inside.

The warm and moist feeling and the maid's coquettish hum calmed the mood of Marquis Charles a little, but he was still angry, and scolded while doing bad things: "Dog's Invid, if you want to take over, take over early, you have to put it off for a few months, let Lao Tzu face the cold kite, Fake!" ”

Just when the Marquis Charles was concentrating on doing bad things, a subordinate reported in a panic: "Marquis Charles! Admiral Leng Kite of the Republic has already entered the city! ”

"What?!" The Marquis of Charles was so frightened that his lower body softened, and he couldn't even bother to wipe it, and he lifted his pants and hurriedly shouted, "Why didn't you report it?" What to eat! ”

The subordinate said with a pale face: "She... She didn't bring the army, she came with two retinues, and she didn't notice in advance, she came suddenly, and the defenders didn't dare to stop her! ”

"So, what are you waiting for! Hurry up and get everyone else together! The Marquis de Charles tightened his belt and hurried out of the drawing room.

Because he was in too much of a hurry, the Marquis of Charles didn't have time to isolate the crowd, and he was going to change to the previous one to welcome foreign guests, and it was definitely necessary to control the flow of people and screen the crowd, so that the upper echelons could see that they must be "arranged" people, and they would perform a peaceful and contented appearance to leave a good impression on each other.

But now, Leng Kite suddenly arrived, without saying a word, where did Marquis Charles have the time to arrange, Dawn City is authentically displayed in front of Leng Kite, fortunately, his city is of a relatively high level, and there are not too many unsightly scenes.

On the streets of the city, Marquis Charles finally saw the true face of this eagle general, and Leng Kite walked with two entourages, without the slightest posture of stirring up the crowd, and Marquis Charles hurriedly greeted him.

I didn't feel much about it from a long distance before, but when I walked to the edge of the cold kite, the Marquis Charles found that this eagle general was actually so tall, her net height was 1.79 meters, plus thick-soled military boots, the height was more than 1.85 meters.

The Marquis of Charles himself was short and fat, so he had to look up when facing the cold kite, and the strong sense of oppression accompanied by the faint dragon power came like a landslide, making him sweat for a while.

"Admiral Leng Kite, welcome to Dawn City, I am very honored." Marquis Charles didn't dare to face Leng Kite, but lowered his head and said respectfully.

"I hear you insincerely, Marquis Charles, and on my own behalf, I regret what is to happen to you." Leng Kite's words frightened the Marquis of Charles, which was obviously talking about the imminent entry of the Grand Duke of Invid, the question was how could such an internal matter of the Federation be known to an outsider?

Just when Marquis Charles was stunned, Leng Kite had already passed by him, did not get into the carriage, but walked directly in the direction of the Marquis's mansion.

This made it very difficult for the Marquis Charles and his entourage, the other party used to go, he couldn't ride by himself, he could only accompany her, but the problem was that he didn't exercise for a long time, and he usually had to be supported by a servant when he walked up a staircase.

In the end, the Marquis Charles walked away and was almost prostration, and the golden curls on his head were soaked with sweat and wet on his forehead, looking like he had just been fished out of the water.

Outside the Marquis's mansion, Leng Kite didn't enter the door, and didn't seem to have the intention of sitting down and talking slowly, just wandering around the mansion, from time to time ascending to a high place to look down at the huge Dawn City, while the Marquis Charles and the consuls followed behind embarrassedly, wanting to say anything but not daring to say anything.

Leng Kite's dark purple eyes swept across the Dawn Arena that stood like a giant in a corner of the city, and a mysterious smile rose on the corner of his mouth: "Eat enough, dress warmly, and have such wonderful entertainment, no wonder you can't miss it." ”

Marquis Charles and others looked at each other, the officials who could come to govern the region basically knew Chinese, but they were also limited to "understanding", and there were still a few who were really proficient, and most of the words Marquis Charles understood, but they didn't understand what "happy and unthinking" meant.
