Chapter 422: Luring the Wolf into the House
Lin Ye returned to the Far East from the northern steppe, and Sagwen and the others, who were detained in Petrified City, were also secretly released back to the steppe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, the external version is that the prison was attacked, and the captured Duke of the Far East escaped, which made the Duke of Messiah furious.
As spring came to an end, the mutiny that took place in Petrified City faded into oblivion with the blazing summer day, and everything was so peaceful.
Lin Ye, who returned to the Far East, had Gatling to handle various affairs, and he was much more relaxed, and he spent his spare time discussing technology with Eight Feet at the engineering headquarters.
In order to retaliate against the rebellion planned by the Far East, the Medusa family led ten legions to suppress the border.
Although the number of soldiers was at a disadvantage, the Far Eastern Army still broke the Medusa family's legions, beheaded more than 3,000 people, and killed the enemy to abandon their armor and flee in the wilderness.
The war broke out so suddenly and so hastily that no one could even react to what was going on.
If the Far East side won the battle in the Valley of Despair before, and many people did not believe it, then this time it is definitely an ironclad fact.
In the two wars combined, the Far East side wiped out nearly five legions of the Medusa family, which was enough to shock the forces of all sides.
Originally, in their eyes, the Far East was just a small fight, and they would make some new things, but now it seems.
In addition to its economic strength, the Far East's armed forces also showed a strong edge, becoming a new force within the empire.
Many aristocrats began to send people to the Far East to inquire about the news, and they visited their homes, and after witnessing the prosperity of the Far East, they were surprised.
Anyone with a little foresight can conclude that in time, a majestic city will be built here that surpasses the royal capital.
You must know that the kings have gone through several dynasties, and it took hundreds of years to have today's atmosphere, but for the Far East, this period is not more than 20 years!
"Although the Medusa family has suffered heavy losses this time, according to the secret agreement, the two legions that we have eliminated are disobedient to the control of the Messiah and Nion, and they are only using our help to eradicate dissidents. Lin Ye slowly walked away from the map.
They didn't pay much to win the battle, because it was originally a massacre that had been secretly agreed upon by both sides.
After the rebellion in Petrified City, the major nobles were panicked and still secretly assembled a final counterattack, and no one wanted to be settled by the Messianic queen.
But the Messiah struck first, using the excuse of attacking the Far East, forcibly requisitioned the legions under the command of these nobles, of course, in order to dispel the vigilance of these nobles, she also sent her own descendant legions, which directly led to the emptiness of the petrified city again, giving the nobles a chance to fight back.
However, the second rebellion of these nobles also ended in failure, and even their legions were buried under the sharp blade of the Far East.
As for the Messiah's descendants, they were simply unscathed and returned to Petrified City to quell the rebellion, so that even without Medusa's power, the Messiah could still firmly control the six northern provinces in his hands, and there was no more power that dared to launch a rebellion.
The situation calmed down, and the Far East, after being tested by the ten legions of the Medusa family, began to have an assessment.
How many troops would it take to take the Far East, which could not even be taken by ten legions? fifteen legions, twenty legions, or more?
In the eyes of the local nobles, they seem to regard the Far East as a force that can dominate the world, and the power of the Black Fire Family is expanding over time.
"It seems that we can win a period of relatively smooth development, but the struggle within the empire cannot be ignored. ”
Gatling also took his gaze away from the map, knowing far more about the interior of the empire than the woods.
"The latest piece of information has been delivered in the morning, you can take a look. Lin Ye pointed to a secret letter on the desk.
The Empire's civil strife had been going on for two years, during which time he had established bank branches in various places and used them as intelligence bases.
Basically, every half a month, there will be secret letters sent from the interior of the empire along with the merchant ships, and a thick pile has accumulated in the past two years.
"His Highness Wren has won a great victory in the decisive battle with His Highness Leo, is His Highness Leo's life and death unknown?" Gatlin frowned as he read the secret letter.
According to their initial judgment, the civil strife in the empire should last for nearly five years, but with Wren's defection, it ended in two years.
The time has been shortened by half, and now only Layton is still struggling to support himself, but looking at the current situation, Layton can't last long.
"What does Sir think of this result?" Lin Ye shifted his gaze from the situation map within the empire to the territory of the continent.
The Lionheart Empire is located in the heart of the continent, with rich land, and the northern part is the prairie, and the north is the perennial ice and snow of the Blue Frost Kingdom.
The southern part of the empire is inhabited by aliens, with the mountainous terrain forming a strategic buffer, while further south is the equally wealthy Demok Confederation.
On the western side of the empire are uninhabited deserts and wild lands, while the eastern part of the empire is bordered by the East China Sea, one of the seven seas.
"If His Royal Highness Leo and His Highness Leighton can be captured in one fell swoop, then the civil strife in the empire can come to an end, but once His Highness Leo and His Highness Leighton retreat, then the problem will be troublesome, once they don't have enough power in their hands to launch a counterattack, I'm afraid they have to choose ......"
Gatlin paused at this point, he knew Leo and Layton very well, and the situation was very bad for them right now.
"Is there only one choice to find foreign help? That means that they are likely to go north to the Blue Frost Kingdom to seek the help of the Elven Legion, or go south to seek the help of the Federation Army of the Demok Federation, or the two of them will go north and south at the same time, and lure the wolf into the house at the same time?"
Lin Ye slowly speculated about the possibility between the two, and if he were Leo or Leighton, he would probably make the same choice.
"That's true, now that the empire is in civil strife, both military and financial has been greatly depleted, the two major forces of the north and the south have been eyeing each other, but there is no excuse for invasion, once the two princes take the initiative to seek their help, they can legitimately march. ”
Gatling looked at the situation map of the continent and had deep worries, once these two forces were allowed to enter the territory of the empire.
That's a big problem.
