"The Celtic governor meant that this battle ...... Did he win?"

The Archon Isaiah was the first to recover from his gaffe, as if he doubted his hearing, his eyes staring straight at the herald, his round eyes almost popping out of his sockets.

"It can't be!"

Archon Isabel shuddered with her shoulders, covered her lips with one hand, and exclaimed with a grim expression.

"Yes, Your Excellency, the clerk does say so. The herald nodded cringely.

"Your Majesty......"

He turned his gaze to Alex again, glanced at the paperwork in the other party's hand, and snorted softly with an inquiring face.

"Hahahaha!"

His Majesty the Vice Emperor did not answer directly, he laughed for a long time, and at the same time pushed the hard-faced document in his hand into the other party's hand, with a hint of excitement on his face, and said loudly:

"Isaiahqing, read it yourself. ”

"Yes. ”

Archon Isaiah eagerly took the paperwork, scanned his gaze, and quickly found the disconnection of the previous herald, and read it clearly:

“...... Although the barbarians are defeated, the heart of the beast is not dead, the strong will be robbers, the weak and humble, regardless of kindness and righteousness, not to be taught by grammar, but by nature.

Committing crimes without punishment will not show the prestige of the country, and striking without taking will undoubtedly lead to neglect.

Now that the main force of the highland kingdom has been defeated, and there are many descendants, it shows that the barbarian chieftain has lost his heart and morality, and the ministers want to lead his troops to attack Edinburgh, support the new king, and unite the province to divide the land, and offer the head of the thief chief to the atrium, deter the fox, wolf and rat, and show the power of the gods.

-- Minister, Arley Bernstein. Struck with awe. I beg the Holy Judge. ”

The powerful voice of the archon reverberated through the hall. Except for the young Majesty Caesar, who was smiling, everyone, including the general and the consul, had a blank look and a dumbfounded look.

it!

This kid resisted an army of 150,000 without shedding his skin, and he still wanted to counterattack!?

"Ahem, ahem!"

After a dozen seconds of silence, Archon Hans cleared his throat, breaking the silence and squeezing out a smile. With a little embarrassment, he said:

"It was a surprise that came so suddenly, it was really unexpected. ”

"Impossible!"

Archon Isabel stood up from his seat with his eyebrows twisted, his hands propped up on the table, and questioned unceremoniously:

"A mere barren land in the south of Celts, even if there are no 150,000 soldiers in the whole people, what can he do to stop the Highland Army?"

"Do you suspect him of lying about the military?"

General Lilith pressed her elbows on her knees, leaned forward, and muttered with a misty look in her eyes:

"If the little governor had a little common sense, he should have known that such a thing could not be hidden, therefore. It is unlikely that a military situation will be lied. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the power of the upper echelons of the Celtic Doge's Palace. There is only one Origin Knight, and five Scourge Knights. And the upper forces of the Highland Kingdom, conservatively estimated, should also have more than thirty legion commanders...... No matter how you look at it, you don't have a chance......" General Ben Lilun narrowed his eyes and said with some fidgeting.

"Nothing is impossible. ”

Archon Isaiah looked away from the hard-faced paperwork, and drew a thick sheet of paper from it, spread it out on the table of the round table, and said with a beaming face:

"This is a record of the battle report of the Celtic Governor's Palace, detailing all the information about the battle between the two sides. You all come and take a look, and there should be no objections. ”

Before the words fell, the generals, who had been tormented by curiosity for a long time, suddenly approached with the momentum of a hungry tiger pounced on food, and their six heads circled around the battle report record, and began to discuss in amazement:

"I see, pulling the local monsters to help, and the gods and dragons on the field, this is a conspiracy. ”

"Using Glamorgan's location to ambush the air force, stabbing the Celtics in the first round is ruthless!"

"The gun of King Wallace of the Highlands should be the spear of fate of the Papal States, and with such a large amount of blood under the Liberal Alliance, it is indeed a must for the Southern Celts, and the cabinet really underestimates their ambitions. ”

......

After reading the battle reports of the Celtic Governor's Palace and the Highland Kingdom, everyone present dispelled their doubts, except for Archon Isabel and Ben Lilun, who were embarrassed and speechless, and everyone expressed their heartfelt praise for the Celtic Governor's Palace.

"Speaking of which, what is the matter with this new Celtic army?" asked Archon Hans, attracted by the term, rather curiously.

"Celtic Army...... That kid went to give me a training record last year, and it seemed that he had mentioned a proposal for the reform of the new army. ”

General Zeksis showed a look of remembrance, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said without hesitation: "But I didn't take it seriously at the time, so I threw it into the bookcase, and now it seems that I was blind." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time to hold accountable. ”

His Majesty Alex returned to the main seat, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said in a brisk tone, "As for what to do with the Highland Kingdom, we should probably consider the Governor's proposal. ”

"I think this proposal is very feasible, and Lady Lilith, the royal blood of the Pandoragon family, is currently in the territory of the Highland Kingdom, and it is justified to support her as a puppet queen. ”

After Isaiah finished speaking ambitiously, she glanced at General Lilith out of the corner of her eye, who rolled her eyes.

All the generals expressed no objections, and took the opportunity to take control of the highland kingdom, uproot the strongholds that might threaten the provinces of Gaul at any time, and take advantage of the situation to strike at the prestige of the enemy.

"The people of the Freedom Alliance, I'm afraid they won't let us get it easily. Archon Isabel said with a worried face.

"If they want to come, let them come. ”

Taking advantage of the victory of the Celtic Governor's Palace, His Majesty Alex's aura was several orders of magnitude stronger: "The Empire's Atlantic Fleet will make them obediently submit, and the Highland Kingdom must be controlled in our hands!"

......

And the Freedom Alliance, which also received the message at this moment, the two giants almost vomited blood in anger, and spent a lot of money and unremitting efforts to build a sharp sword. It was broken as soon as it came out of the sheath. This situation is unacceptable.

Pope Halifan III, who lost his angel, was furious. In a fit of rage, he even offered to arrest Wallace for questioning, but fortunately, Speaker Lucien was still sensible and tried his best to dissuade him, and in the end, this proposal ended in vain due to the intervention of the Cardinal and the Arcane Council.

For the next period of time, the Freedom Alliance racked its brains to consider a way to break the game, but when the defeat of the Highland Kingdom was decided. There seems to be no way other than a large-scale military intervention.

Soon, Speaker Lucian made a seemingly feasible suggestion, arguing that the current plan to prop up the Highland Kingdom and annex all of Celtic had failed. The Freedom Alliance should abandon its illusions and do everything in its power to ensure the rule of the Fannon family in the Highlands, and even make compromises including reparations to the Order Alliance.

The Papal States accepted the advice of the allies, sent diplomatic ambassadors to negotiate with Rossevia, and at the same time formed a large combined fleet and made a gesture of readiness for armed intervention at any time, strengthening the confidence of the allies.

After meeting with the ambassadors of the two countries. Diplomats on the Rossvia side called them wishful thinking and insincere. He stated that the Highland Kingdom did not declare war. It is reasonable and lawful for the empire to impose sanctions on violations of international justice.

In the midst of all kinds of reasons, the envoys of the two countries had to relent, and put forward a compensation condition close to the bottom line, the Liberal Alliance was responsible for compensating the Highland Kingdom for all the losses of the invasion of the Celtic Governor's Palace, and the Highland King Wallace abdicated, and the next king was jointly appointed by Rosevia, the Papal State, and the Iberian Federation.

In the face of the rare compromise of the Freedom Alliance, the Imperial diplomat still maintained his position, strongly stating that it was imperative to fight back in self-defense, and that the Highland Kingdom and the Fannon family must be punished as they deserved.

In the end, the negotiations ended with the diplomats of the three countries completely tearing their faces, and at this point in time, it seemed that an unprecedented world war was already looming.

In the whirlpool of this storm, the Celtic Governor's Palace was not affected by the external situation, raised the banner of restoring the Pandoragon Dynasty, and continued to collect and exterminate the remnants of the Highland army in an orderly manner.

......

In a vast wasteland, lush grassland vegetation covers every inch of the surface, but with the arrival of summer, under the full nourishment of sun and rain, these already extremely resilient beings sway their fat bodies, desperately showing off their vigorous vitality, and the rhizomes are connected to form a green ocean.

As far as the eye can see, in addition to the grass, there are several inconspicuous buildings in this little-traveled wasteland in front of you, which are wooden houses with tree trunks, and you can see at a glance from the tasteless appearance that they are the signature style of the Celts.

The wooden house was once surrounded by a ring of tall and solid earthen walls, but now all that remains is the ruins, and the building itself is dilapidated.

Apparently, it was a settlement that once belonged to the Celts, perhaps because the scalp could be exchanged for money, which made its former owner leave the place forever. In short, the manor after losing its maintenance has gradually fallen into ruins under the erosion of wind and rain for a long time, and the former glory can no longer be seen.

However, the ruins, which have not yet been completely covered in a blanket of grass, are still exerting residual heat, and if the weather changes suddenly, at least mercenaries and smugglers passing through here can have a free shelter from the elements.

But at this moment, it is clear that the people hiding in this ruin are not mercenaries and smugglers, but an army of only about two or three hundred people. Although it was a demoralized, disarmoured, and disgraced army fleeing from the battlefield of Glamorgan, it was easy to tell from the blue and white cross on the broken banner that it was no ordinary army.

Of course, this is not an ordinary army, this is the imitation of the Immortal Army of the Highland Kingdom, and the full establishment at its peak was 30,000 people! However, there are only two or three hundred people left, and most of them are wounded!

In the battle of Glamorgan, no one thought that it would end up being such a tragic ending.

The sweep after the Battle of the Celtic Doge's Palace was unusually sharp, and several elite legions of guards scattered in all directions, closely following the rout army that was rushing and throwing off their armor.

All the highland legions that fell behind and resisted stubbornly along the way were slaughtered, and a large number of soldiers who lost their will were captured by the governor's palace, and the elite of the entire highland kingdom was almost uprooted, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

Among them, the imitation immortal army, which is at the top of the blacklist of the Governor's Palace, has been given key 'care'.

The Governor's Mansion specially sent Nicole, Clark, and Lydia to chase down the defeated army and destroy all resistance of the Imitation Immortals.

In the face of the wolf-like Scourge Knights, the Imitation Immortal Army, who had lost their support, finally tasted the bitter fruits planted by the king for them in despair and weeping, and the entire legion was almost wiped out.

Yalei did not show any mercy or sympathy for these murderers who had done great harm to the Guards.

"Surrender or die!"

The soldiers of the Guards shouted such slogans, killing all enemies who tried to resist in sight, and the mountain of Celtic heads became the best sacrifice for the souls of the Empire who died in battle.

After blocking the Great Wall, the vast majority of the remnants of the Highland Legion finally gave up their illusions and signed a contract with the Doge's Palace to join the legions of the restoration of the Pandoragon dynasty.

The remnants of the rout in the inaccessible wilderness are also increasingly emaciated by the harpy banshees' round-the-clock pursuit, and those ugly monsters have amazing eyesight, even if they hide in the primeval forest, they will still be easily spotted.

Fleeing all the way, they stumbled upon the wooden house and settled down temporarily.

Inside the wooden house, a group of Celts in black armor and helmets were crouching on one knee on the floor with painful expressions, each of them covered in blood and dust, and their armor was covered with cracks and smoke from the slashing of weapons.

At this moment, the eyes of these warriors were all gray, and their pupils did not have any focal length, as if they were all looking at a certain point in the void.

And what is even more terrifying is that these people have no expression on their faces at all, which is not a sign of indifference, but a kind of muscle stiffness after losing all their anger!

It was a face of despair and pain!

"I don't want to stay here anymore...... I want to go home...... I want to go home. Suddenly, a Highland soldier clutched his head and let out a cowardly sob.

"We can't go back, and the Rossavian won't let us go easily...... They blocked Hadrian's Wall, and we couldn't go anywhere without boats. As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier behind him shook his head and said in an almost detached voice.

"I want to ...... We've done enough...... Isn't it enough that we have died so many people for the sake of His Majesty Wallace's selfishness?" one of them seemed to have the idea of surrendering.

"Shut up! We will not surrender!"

"Why can't we surrender? Aren't all of them willing to die?"

When the negotiation fails, the people in the room soon fall into an endless bickering, and no one can convince the others or offer the best of both worlds. (To be continued.) )
