820 The Nords Strike Back (3)
In the early morning of March 6, before it was clear and the thick snow was silvery white, in a mansion in Mi Boon, the chief of the guard trembled and woke up the sleeping Varissien
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty has been summoned urgently, but this time the Captain of the Guards Squadron, Lord Burnsday, came in person, and he was waiting in the front hall, and asked my lord to go and greet him quickly. ”
"Are you sure it's His Majesty's full-time adjutant for military affairs?"
Varisian has two dark black eyes like pandas, this new and famous general who has risen rapidly in the Falcon Army, looks a little tired at the moment, as the highest military commander stationed in the south of Ryrdian, Varisian also received an emergency transfer order only a day ago, and after a day of running, his body has not completely recovered from exhaustion,
"Yes, my subordinates have seen Lord Burnsday before!"
"It seems that something terrible must have happened to transfer me back this time!" Varisian touched his chin and hurriedly put on his clothes as he strode out of the room.
As long as it is the top level of the Falcon Army, they all know that Varisian, who is good at field pursuit, is actually an extremely sleepy and lazy guy, he can come energetically for a few days and nights, just to wait for the appearance of the battle target, or he can fall asleep without delay, and the earth-shattering snoring can be heard from miles away,
The two rushed to the antechamber. There, the fire was bright, and the shadows were full of armed soldiers. Varisian's heart tightened, and a tall and burly guard officer hurriedly stepped up to meet him, "Is it the Captain of Varisian?"
"It's me. ”
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty summoned me urgently, please come with me immediately. The Guards officer with torch saluted Varisian
"Now?" Although he was mentally prepared, Varisian was still a little unsure, Falcon Majesty is also a lethargic guy, it is said that as long as there is nothing important, His Majesty has never been up before ten o'clock, not to mention that it is the coldest early morning of winter,
Outside the window, there was a dark night, a few stars twinkling in the dark night, and the clock on the wall was pointing to about three o'clock in the morning.
"Yes, now!" said the officer, Burnstie, looked grim and heavy
Varisian nodded, "Got it." He went out with the guards with torches. Varisian's residence was not far from the palace of the Irdian family, where the fat man was located, and after walking through a long dark street about ten minutes long, he was greeted by the majestic royal palace.
In the early morning starlight, the entire palace slept in darkness, like a sleeping beast. The light of the torches shone on the precious Mia marble columns of the front gate, dyeing the whole column a scarlet.
Approaching this majestic building, between the ornate columns, the wide corridors echoed with the steady and neat footsteps of the guards, and the number of people was three times more than the usual daily patrol, and the guards were present in the corners, corridors, and even in the dark corners of the walls that they did not pay much attention to on weekdays
Varisian followed behind the captain of the guard, and under the watchful eyes of the entire row of guards, he walked through the front corridor leading to the central hall, and the surroundings seemed quiet, but the lights on the opposite side were getting brighter and brighter, making Varisien seem to smell a smell of killing and blood.
Thirty years ago, on this white marble staircase, the royal family of Raldian was slaughtered by rebellious soldiers, and even babies were knocked to death on the stones;
Then, in the same place, with the support of the northern cavalry, Haraus, who was still a prince at the time, threw the entire family of the rival faction into the fire;
Varisien let out a long breath and somehow felt uncomfortable every time he came to the palace, especially tonight. Perhaps, as the rumors have said, the palace has been cursed, with the groans of the dying and the snoring of the dying echoing on every wall, and behind every ornate stone lies a soul. ...,
He noticed that the guards of the palace were much stricter than usual, and on the long corridor between the palace gate and the council hall, there stood a whole row of guards with sharp weapons in hand, cold, gloomy, and silent marble steps, only the sound of his own heavy footsteps echoed,
The swaying of the firelight and the shadows of the buildings are chilling. At the entrance of the hall, two rows of black-armored guards stood solemnly with torches,
The general of the Central Army, Hu Keqili, was waiting by the door, and when he saw the arrival of Varisian, he hurriedly took his hand and walked in together, "You are late, Your Majesty and everyone are waiting for you inside." ”
"Your Majesty and everyone!" Varisian felt his head stunned, to be able to be called by Hukochili like this, at least he must be a person at the level of a legion commander, could it be that since the Battle of Staros, His Majesty has a greater goal?
Varisian followed behind Hukochili and walked into the front hall with some trepidation, and nearly three hundred large candles illuminated the entire hall.
In the ●' side near the seats in the hall, several people gathered. Varisien approached quickly, and he had already seen clearly that the commander of the Western Legion, Krolysat, the head of the Arey side, Caesar Solon, and the defense officer of the Paraven region had arrived first.
Such a large lineup made Valisian's heart tighten: Could it be that the conflict with other kingdoms had already broken out? Who was the first to attack? It couldn't be the Dorok, otherwise he wouldn't know anything, could it be the Nord ・・・・・・, then he, the defense officer of the southern region of Paraven, was not completely derelict in his duties
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what is going on?" Varisian nervously asked a few important ministers. Everyone shook their heads blankly, their eyes showing confusion
It seems that I'm not the only one who doesn't know it! Varisian felt a little more relieved, "Everyone is in the dark!"
After waiting for less than two minutes, several district officials in charge of internal affairs also hurried over, their clothes a little disheveled, and they all asked blankly, "My lords, what is going on?" but no one could answer. There was uneasiness in the air.
"Your Majesty is here!" the guard standing by the door raised his voice and shouted clearly, and everyone immediately stopped talking. The side door opened, and the fat man appeared at the door with a stern face, wearing a black velvet cloak, and the two guards squadron leaders who followed him closed the door of the meeting hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't want to disturb your dreams, but!" the fat man's clear voice carried a hint of tiredness, and then became stern, "According to the report, the southern part of the kingdom, which we consider to be safe, is suffering from the most severe threat.
The Nords dispatched a large fleet and 50,000 land forces this time, ready to divide into two sides, sea and land, along the coastline all the way to the Vekia side, in order to obtain this information, we have three high-level spies lurking on the Nord side sacrificed, their death must not be in vain,
The fat man said coldly, and then slowly and sharply looked at the face from face to face. The air condensed into a solid in an instant.
After a long time, no one dared to move a little, and everyone felt a deep fear, and everyone could see that this time the falcon was furious.
"This time, I'm going to teach the Nords a lesson, an unforgettable lesson!" the fat man's fist slammed on the table, and the solid sandalwood shattered silently in an instant, and the tiny wood fragments turned into a piece of powder.
Everyone was secretly frightened, the Falcon Majesty's martial arts skills were so terrifying, because they had rarely made a move in recent years, so most of the generals had forgotten that the Falcon Majesty was also a military general with extremely high combat skills, and they didn't expect that there would be such a gaffe tonight. The terrifying murderous aura that almost overflowed from his body could almost crush the entire council hall into powder.
"The Nords are out of luck this time!"...,
The hearts of the people silently mourn for the Nord people, the south has always been the place that His Majesty cares about the most, and there is the basis of His Majesty.
It is undeniable that the strategy of the Nords this time can be described as quite vicious, if they can forcibly attack the south of Vekia, regardless of whether they can achieve the effect of occupation or not,
It was a heavy blow to the economy of the entire Falcon Dynasty, where 50 percent of the population of the Falcon Dynasty, more than 40 percent of the merchants, and almost 80 percent of the sea dragons, and 70 percent of the annual taxes paid by the Falcon Dynasty.
If the south is dragged into war, the high-speed carriage of the Falcon Dynasty will be like an unbalanced axle, flying out of the corner and crashing into pieces, if you want to restore the current economic outlook again, it will take at least 0 years.
10 years is enough for the Nord Kingdom to accumulate enough strength to fight the Falcon Dynasty, and the battle will be extremely fierce at that time!
The fat man spread out the map of the kingdom in front of him in front of everyone, pointed his finger to the south of Paravon first, raised his head, and looked to the left with blazing eyes
"Varisian, your southern part of Paravon is closest to the border of the Nords, you should first talk about the situation on your side, and mobilize 50,000 troops, such a big move cannot be without a trace! What I want to know most now is who the regiments are being transferred this time, their configuration, their numbers, and the character of the generals!"
Varisian's face changed slightly, and he hesitated, "Your Majesty, opposite me is the Nord Fourth Legion, the Fifth Legion, and the lord army of the region, which has about 110,000 people,
But because March 5 is the founding day of the Nord, some time ago, the Nords sent a part of the troops from the border back to participate in the review, all of them are elite troops stationed on the border, the number of about 40,000 people, the general who led the team is called Crimson Erdo, and it is matched with a general named Golas, and the two are known as the best young generation of Nord in Nord Kyoto
Because they had never fought each other, they only knew that these two had participated in the attack on the Dorok Mountains, and they were the best at frontal attacks, and Etesdorburg, known as the strong wall of Dorok, fell under the cooperation of this pair!"
