No matter how long the night is, there will be a time when it will pass. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as the sun rose, people walked into the hall of the Dawning Castle Lord's Mansion one after another, and each of these faces entering the hall was a pivotal figure. Edward, in particular, was a young man, though he was only an earl, but he was already famous in the South. So when he walked into the hall, it immediately fell silent as a sign of respect for him.

The former Maritan Star boy is now a handsome man. He glanced at everyone in the hall and said, "I'm sure you've heard that Ark Harbor was attacked last night. However, thanks to the efforts of the Deep Sea Scalers and the Church Crusaders, Ark Harbor is temporarily safe. Ark Harbor has asked us for help, and I have sent an army of about 10,000 people to support, believing that it can resist for a while. But that's not the worst of it. What's even more serious is that last night, not only Ark Harbor was attacked. ”

Behind Edward, a topographical map of the empire hung on the wall, with red triangles inserted into the map. Edward stepped back a little, looked at the map and said, "As you can see, last night, including the Ark Harbor, there were no less than ten port cities of all sizes, such as Tiger Shark Harbor and Ice Star Harbor, which were fiercely attacked. According to the information sent back this morning by the members of the Darkblade that we have planted in various places, there are now as many as seven cities that have fallen. The invaders were not prepared to stay in the cities, and they used them as a springboard to invade the interior of the empire and spread to other cities. ”

Edward scribbled a pen on the map, and saw the lines spread inland from the cities with triangular signs. In Edward's writing, the coastal areas of the empire were almost covered with red lines. Everyone looked at these red stitches, and even the most optimistic people were in a solemn mood. Where those red lines go are areas covered by war. It is conceivable that soon, the coastline of the empire will be in flames.

"That's right, the intruder came from the sea this time. There was no alarm coming back from the Imperial naval fleet, either there was an inside line in the navy, or the Imperial navy had been completely wiped out. If the latter is the case, then the situation in the empire will be even more dire next. Edward sighed, "I hate to admit it, but this time, I think the danger is even higher than the Imperial Civil War. One is not good, I am afraid that the empire will change hands because of this. ”

Edward was not alarmist, the invasion of the last Shadow Duchy and the subsequent civil war in the Empire caused great attrition for both the strong and the army. Now that the new emperor has succeeded him, there is no doubt that Julian's policy will be based on recuperation. But when the empire's national strength was empty, there was a maritime invader, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the current Balgaon Empire. From the fact that the invaders almost drove into and landed in the seven port cities along the coast, it is not difficult to see that the forces of the Empire are in a state of extreme weakness.

"My lord, do you know the identity of the intruder?" Someone at the bottom asked.

Edward looked over to a man who was none other than the Dragon, a staff member from the East. Edward said: "Perhaps Mr. Long will know this better than me. ”

Everyone's eyes brushed and brushed over to the dragon, and even though this oriental man became the focus of attention, he still stood up calmly and said: "Judging from the news, the invader's warship is painted with the pattern of the dragon, which is a kind of dragon derived from the ancient art creation of the East, which embodies the imagination and spirit of the ancestors, and has always been regarded as a symbol of honor and auspiciousness in the East. With the dragon as a symbol, it will only be the Panlong Empire, a human state in the east. It was a human kingdom that was much older than the Balgaon Empire, dating back thousands of years and with a long cultural history. The depth of the heritage is far from being comparable to that of Bailegang. That country is an oriental dragon, once it comes across the ocean, it will surely turn the earth upside down, the earth will crack and the mountains will collapse! ”

After Long finished speaking, someone in the hall chuckled and said, "Mr. Long, it sounds a bit exaggerated." ”

"There are ten holy powerhouses in the Bailegang Empire, and as far as I know, there are at least twenty people in the Panlong Empire like that level of powerhouses, or even more. And this information is still the information before I crossed the ocean, so many years have passed, God knows how many strong people have been added to the Panlong Empire. As for the army, as long as you know that the population of the Panlong Empire is more than ten times that of Bailegang, you can speculate on how many of their imperial ** team there are. Believe me, it is only the vanguard of the Panlong Empire that is attacking the various port cities now, and their main army should still be at sea. ”

The dragon glanced at Edward lightly and said, "I have not been in the Panlong Empire for many years, and before I crossed the ocean, I was still an ignorant child. However, at that time, I had already heard the elders in the family say that in the court of the Panlong Empire, there had always been a plan to go west. When an empire becomes strong, and it has been that way for hundreds, millennias. Then, a single continent would no longer be able to satisfy it, at least, the Emperor's appetite. However, the westward expansion plan has been delayed, because the two continents are separated by a large enough sea. As we all know, even with the relatively mature navigation technology now, the merchant groups traveling between the two continents still suffer casualties from time to time. The sea is awe-inspiring, and anything can happen at sea, so the cost of transporting troops from the east to the west is as great as a simple thought can be seen. In addition, not everyone in the DPRK and China supports the westward expansion plan, and these people are called conservatives. They thought that it was not easy to hold on to the empire's current huge foundation, and to send troops westward was simply throwing their ancestors' property into the sea. Of course, the radicals who supported the westward expansion plan did not think so, because the Panlong Empire had developed for thousands of years, and the resources of the mainland had been depleted day by day, and if it could not open up new territories, the glory of the empire would be maintained. The two factions have been at loggerheads, so the emperor of the empire has never made up his mind. But now it seems that the emperor has decided. ”

Edward asked, "So what advice can Mr. Long give us?" ”

"It's hard, I've been away from the empire for decades, and I don't know the news from the other side of the sea. All I can say is, be careful, don't take it lightly. A dragon from the east, its threat is far greater than you can imagine. The dragon bowed and said, "The next meeting, Lord Edward, I avoid suspicion?" ”

Edward laughed: "Don't say that Mr. Long has left the Coiling Dragon Empire for many years, even if it is not the case. As long as the gentleman is in this hall, there is no need to avoid suspicion. If Mr. betrays us, it is also my lack of knowledge, and the fault is not Mr. I. ”

This was Edward's measure, and everyone in the hall nodded. The dragon sat back quietly, his head bowed, his hands clasped together expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking now. Edward coughed lightly and said, "Now, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to put them forward." ”
