Chapter 159: The Origin of the War
By the time Rowan and his men came down from the city walls, the soldiers of the Daikin Empire had already swarmed into Akita Castle. Now they are clearing out the stubborn defenders of Akita Castle and advancing towards the west gate step by step.
"Boss! not good! City Lord's Mansion!" Zach suddenly remembered something and said eagerly. Zach, who has always been calm and composed, suddenly became anxious, leaving the brothers puzzled.
"What's wrong with the City Lord's Mansion?" asked the little fat man.
"Tiffany!"
Everyone's meaningful "oh ......", and then looked at Zach with strange eyes, which was extremely funny.
"Don't worry. Our soldiers are divided into two routes, I will lead the team to the Akita Restaurant, take our regimental flag, and you lead the team to the City Lord's Mansion and bring the Phnom Penh flag. Rowan smiled and said, "I really can't see it, Zach also panics." ”
Zach ...... When did you get along with Tiffany?!" Elco was shocked, his brother was really hidden enough.
"Well, it's the few days when you were very sad...... Well, I'll treat you to a big meal when I apologize. Zach blushed rarely, feeling a little like a thief.
Lowan, Fat Man, and Bearded Man led a group towards the Akita Restaurant, while the rest were led by El and Zach to the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Although the Western Expeditionary Corps strictly ordered that it was not allowed to burn, kill and loot, it was too lazy to care about the small actions of some ruffians. Rowan and the others ran all the way to the Akita Restaurant, and saw some soldiers smashing open a tavern, taking out a wine jar and drinking it on the side of the road.
At this time, in the middle of the night, the residents who did not leave Akita Castle closed their doors, and even if they were smashed, they did not dare to speak out, for fear of being stabbed. But fortunately, there is the supervision of the captains of each team, and it is not too chaotic.
Rowan shook his head, he couldn't control these things.
The people of Lovan ran all the way like this, leaving all the people of the Dajin Empire behind, and the defenders of Akita Castle thought that it was their people.
"What are you doing, you're running faster than me......"
"If you don't run, hurry up and wait for the city gate to close, how can you get out!"
"Hurry up, brothers, run faster. ”
Rushed to the Akita restaurant and knocked violently. Fat An was afraid that he was a soldier of the Dajin Empire, so he didn't dare to open it, and asked tremblingly behind the door, "Who?"
"Daddy, me!" said the little fat man, full of anger.
Fat An opened the door at this time: "You guys are back, you have all hit outside Akita City, how did you get in?"
"The Daikin Empire has already invaded Akita Castle, just tonight. ”
"So fast! too fast......" Fat An didn't expect Akita Castle to be captured so quickly, and just now he heard the roar of the fire dragon cannon, thinking that the Dajin Empire was attacking the city again. But he didn't know that it was these people in front of him who helped the Dajin Empire attack.
"Let's come back first, so that they don't mess with the Akita restaurant. Come, plant our regimental flag at the door, and see who dares to make trouble. The little fat man moved a stool and sat at the door, with the big sword at his feet, and said in a special pretend.
The riots had spread from the east to the west, and the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Corps had already reached the west.
I saw more than a dozen jungle leopard warriors at the front, riding jungle leopards and shouting: "The general has an order! Control the west city gate and prohibit anyone from going out!"
The West Gate is the only gate leading to the Akita Plains and to the city of Moss, the capital of the Moss Empire. McNair, General Andu, and others escaped from the West Gate. At this time, the West City Gate, as well as the noble convoy, were desperately rushing outward.
More than a dozen jungle leopard soldiers quickly rushed to the west gate, and scared these nobles back with a series of bluffs. Some nobles wanted their personal guards to resist, and after the cavalry stabbed them to death, no one dared to move, and they all obediently squatted at the city gate and waited to be disposed of.
Throughout the night, Akita Castle was never quiet, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. It wasn't until dawn that all the Western Expeditionary Corps entered Akita Castle that Akita Castle quieted down.
Fortunately, there were little fat men and the banners of the White Ash Mercenary Regiment in charge, and several groups of ruffians who wanted to fight the autumn wind were dispatched, and everyone was able to sleep peacefully.
At dawn, Rowan and the others were woken up. A brother who went to the City Lord's Mansion last night came to report that General Shi Qian had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and invited Luo Wen and a few people.
The castle lord's mansion was bustling with activity.
The nobles who had been blocked at the west gate last night were all escorted to the City Lord's Mansion, and they suddenly became a little crowded.
As soon as Rowan entered the door, there were people constantly greeting him.
"Count Loewen early. ”
"Count Loewen early. ”
......
Luo Wen thought to himself: I don't know you well, so I must not be so enthusiastic.
Walking into the reception hall, a room full of people.
"Haha, Count Loewen, this time the earls have worked hard and made great contributions, don't you don't know me when you develop in the future. Shi Qian walked over with a smile.
"Everywhere, it is the general's good command and the brothers' good cooperation. Luo Wen said modestly.
"Count Lovan is really ...... "Shi Qian didn't know what to say, Luo Wen was too good.
"Count Loewen, let's go over there and talk. Shi Qianshen said mysteriously and pointed to the corner.
The two came to the corner.
Shi Qian said: "This time, thanks to the earls, our Dajin Empire has come out on top, but the Tai'an Empire is angry to death." In this way, according to the previous agreement, Akita Castle is the property of our Daikin Empire. ”
"Haha, then you should congratulate our Majesty, not long after he ascended the throne, he opened up territory for the Dajin Empire. ”
"yes, yes. Shi Qian's words suddenly changed and said, "Before entering the city, I received a secret letter from Your Majesty, Akita City is the hometown of several counts, and Your Majesty asked me to discuss everything with the earl, and take care of the earl's feelings. Count Loewen, what about those nobles outside?"
Hey, this old man, just said that he wanted to take care of my feelings, and immediately threw this hot potato to me, but he can really take care of it. Luo Wen despised it for a while, thought for a while and said, "General, I can't be the master of this, what are your plans?"
Shi Qian sighed and said, "Does the Earl know why this Western Expedition is at this time, and why do you want to compete with the Tai'an Empire to capture Akita City?"
Lovan shook his head.
"According to intelligence, the barbarian plateau in the west of the Moss Empire, the barbarian tribes are rioting, and the western legions are tight, and there is no time to take care of the east. And the Sunset United Empire in the north, I heard that the Zhu family, who fled there, united with the two holy masters to seize a small principality, and also annexed two small principalities, and now they are also eyeing the Moss Empire, and they always want to kill it back. So the Northern Corps also did not dare to move. ”
"So this is the best time?"
"Yes, but the impetus to wage war is not just because of these, but the non-attribute gem mines buried beneath the Akita Plains. It is said that it is a gem mine, but it is just a trick, and it is actually a magic crystal mine that deceives ordinary people. The war two years ago was for it, but, uh...... It seems that it was the Count that you kidnapped the Great Prince, so you failed. ”
Luo Wen touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Accident, accident......"
"In the past two years, the empire has rewarded more and more fiefs, but the original territory is no longer enough. Therefore, the empire has laid down so many lands, and your fiefdom is in it, Earl. So...... These nobles?"
"General, I suggest that you let these nobles go and let them run to Moss City. Maybe it can add chaos to Moss City, and it can also free up a lot of fiefdoms for us, what does the general think?"
"I listen to Lord Earl. ”
Old fox, Luo Wen despised Shi Qian again.
