86 The End (Finale)
"Express! Express! The Flying Wing Kingdom invaded the Federation the night before, and yesterday the Southern Army fought with it, and the Sain District severely defeated the enemy, and the Federation army was advancing layer by layer. Our victory is a great victory!"
A young man wearing a sticky hat and a thin coat ran all the way, shouting all the way, waving the newspaper in his hand to attract the attention of passers-by.
A few days ago, the border friction escalated, and the sales of newspapers that day skyrocketed, and the same is true today, and everyone who came and went on the street was shocked by the news and stopped one after another.
"Really?!" a passerby looked shocked, took a few coins from his pocket, and handed them to the young man selling the newspaper.
After holding the newspaper in his hand, the big headline was printed in the eyes of this pedestrian, "The battle of the plains of the Saine district annihilated 10,000 people of the winged cavalry regiment, and the battle losses were 1 to 5 to recapture all the strongholds in the Philippe area and the Sylvie district The enemy fled in the desert, and the armies of the three districts are entering the counteroffensive stage at this time."
The others listened to this man's muttering, and their curiosity was aroused, they had already fought with Flying Wing when the Federation was still a feudal country, and the two countries had a major war every twenty years, although each time the Federation won, but their own losses were equally serious, like this time it was unprecedented to lose quickly and without much loss.
The young man who sold the newspaper was also well aware of the psychology of the customers, and quietly added to the fire, "This time the commander of the battle is the rookie among the southern generals, General Casio! Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to know why Casio was able to achieve such great success at such a young age, our Eastern Capital Express recorded the life of General Casio, as well as the tactics used by General Casio in this battle. ”
"What are you waiting for, buying a newspaper will allow us to meet this rising star. ”
The Eastern Capital is different from other places, people worship idols more than the event itself, young people have suffered losses, naturally they will not be stupid to hype up how the battlefield is, as long as a typical character model is established, it is enough for everyone to pursue and use it as a talking point.
Of course, there are still customers who pay more attention to the situation on the battlefield, but when they look through the newspaper and check the account of the battle, they find that the description is not exhaustive, and the defeat of the flying wings is too coincidental and dramatic, which is quite suspected of covering up the real situation.
In fact, war news has always been fictional, except for the beginning and the result, it is good to have three points of truth in the course of events. After all, supernatural powers do not appear on paper, and in the same way, some people will never appear in the public eye.
In the days that followed, news continued to come from the front line, and how many places the Federation had captured, which was a little encouraging at first, but then became accustomed to it, and in the end it even felt that it was not a good thing.
In fact, the impression of the southern part of the federation to the people in other places is that it is barbaric and rude, and the southern part of the country has had an awkward quarrel with the Central Parliament, and actually ignored the invasion of the flying wing army, led the army to counterattack the interior, and forced the parliament to send support.
In addition, the living standards in the south are relatively low, and the people in the inner areas naturally feel superior in comparison, and secretly belittle the southerners who come to the interior to beg for a living, which aggravates the regional contradictions over time.
And in the case of a big victory, those southerners have to pout their heads and boast of their bravery, obviously the society is becoming more and more civilized, but the thinking is still stuck in the feudal era. Once a new region is opened up in the south, the central government will have to allocate some resources, and the southern government will certainly use it to expand armaments, and it is better to build public facilities in other areas.
Compared with the careful thinking of the people, the top families are worried about deeper things, Charon Del, whose name does not appear in the newspapers, has almost blinded them in the intelligence of these days. Kill the wolf eagle Colt, as well as five great knights who violated the federal alliance treaty, and even more terrifyingly, slaughter thousands of cavalry by a single person.
There is a problem with the strength of the new Del family master, but it is completely contrary to the previous speculation, the person is more powerful than the previous Del family master, not that there is a problem with the real weapon and there is no way to control the strength. It can be said that this young man, who has not yet held the coming-of-age ceremony, is the most powerful person in the Federation at this time, and there is no one, even in the Eastern Capital, the former royal family Paul cannot suppress.
Dou Qi turned into a shape, this alone means stepping out of the realm of the peak Great Knight, and according to the feedback of the intelligence, the analyst also calculated that the quality of the new Del Family Master's Dou Qi is beyond the scope of the Great Knight. Fortunately, they didn't have the ability to fly yet, and if they did, the other twenty-one top families would have to submit to the feet of the Heavenly Knights.
Now, although it is not like that, the attitude towards the Del family must change. The Del family, who was originally trapped in the south, could not be stopped from entering the center, and it was impossible for Paul to take the lead and confront the Del family, and the other families could not compete with the Del family even if they joined forces, and I only hoped that the appetite of the new head of the Del family would not be too great.
Although the previous Del family was strong, it was excluded by the other families, and only occupied a few seats in the council, which was not comparable to the ten emerging top families.
And now the five families who dare to stab the Del family will undoubtedly be frantically suppressed by the Del family, and the parliament will naturally vacate dozens of seats, and the major families are ready to snatch these seats, but before the Del family collects its share before it makes a move, no family dares to reach out
Just when the dark tide of the eastern capital was surging, the situation on the battlefield had gradually become clear, and in the past few days, Charon led the army to defeat three waves of troops in a row, completely eliminating the living forces north of the Taylor Mountains. Then marched west along the Taylor Mountains, breaking through cities and passes, without stopping to garrison, and the Southern Army swept through it directly.
Three days later, the armies of the other two districts also entered the territory of Flywing, and under Charon's orders, the armies of both sides advanced to the southeast, breaking all the way, and finally joined the cavalry regiment he led. At this point, the area north of the Taylor Mountains of the Flying Wing Kingdom has fallen, and the iron hooves of the Southern Army are crisscrossing this new area, and any signs of resistance have been ruthlessly snuffed out.
"My lord, four infantry legions with a total of 60,000 men have arrived, can we occupy the town and obtain supplies?"
Casio had been promoted to five-star general, the highest-ranking general in the Southern Army, and he came to inquire about Charon on behalf of the other generals.
"Do you think that I let the army camp in the wilderness in order not to disturb the people and win favor?" Charon, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at Casio lightly, "Wrong!"
"War can disrupt order and bring chaos, and when rules cannot restrain people, all kinds of human tragedies will emerge one after another. The defeated soldiers, the social dregs fishing in troubled waters, the counterattack of the people at the bottom, in this precarious and unrestrained situation, all kinds of ugly bestiality of people will burst out. The internal fighting of the Flying Wing people can not only destroy the forces hostile to us, but also make them unable to unite, saving us from the crime of being butchers again. All we need to do is clean up the mess and act as the new order. ”
"Don't worry now, if there is an organization that resists us, or someone integrates the order, you can send someone to exterminate it. When the chaos continues, the people of the Flying Wing Kingdom will beg us to enter the city, and then the color of our invaders will fade, and no matter how bad it is, it will be able to divert a lot of hatred, which will help the new district integrate into the Federation. ”
was so thoroughly understood by Charon, Casio suddenly realized that after all, he was a general, and he was only thinking about how to occupy, while Charon was thinking about future rule.
After Casio left, Renault came again.
"Family Master, the envoys of the Flying Wing Kingdom are here, do you need to expel them?"
Charon shook his head, he wanted to change the usual style of the Del family, "No, a truce is necessary, we can't attack all the time, otherwise it will not be a good thing for us for the Flying Wing Kingdom to stop the civil strife." It's just that now is not the time to negotiate an armistice, and after a while we occupy the Taylor Pass will be the moment to sit down at the negotiating table. ”
The head of the family is better than his ancestors, not only in terms of strength, but also in his means of doing things, but is this burden too heavy for him to be young?
Renault looked at the empty sleeve on Charon's left, and for a while he didn't know what to say, maybe this is the price to pay for standing taller.
