Looking at the crowd of people passing by the street outside, Algernon Julia's cold pretty face showed a thoughtful look, compared with the gloom inside the car, the scene of the car window can be described as full of spring, along the street on both sides of the shop pù windows are decorated with flowers. Thick new greenery fills the eye of the eye

In April, early summer, for the Rasti region, which is located at the mouth of the Great Gallic Basin, it is the most comfortable season with moderate temperature and humidity, the rainy season subsides, the bright spring light reappears outside, the breeze blows the breath of early summer, penetrates into people's skin through thin clothes, and makes people's hearts lively, people come and go, there are ordinary people, merchants, hawkers, the clouds change and flow rapidly in the air, and the children who have left school also seem to be urged to play in the streets, giggling and rushing to the house, and the crisp laughter comes, like a peaceful and prosperous scene,

The carriage walked through the downtown area of the city, and no one seemed to care about this carriage without any signs, and occasionally some people expressed a trace of curiosity about the cavalry of the Falcon Empire guarding the carriage, but it was only curiosity, Algernon Julia could clearly feel the huge changes in the entire middle tier city area, the scenery was still the same, but the people here seemed to have accepted the rule of the Falcon Empire at a staggering speed,

"I can't believe that half a month ago, this was the battlefield of our fierce battle with the Falcon Army!" and now ......," Andaline, who was dressed in a smart female knight's outfit, said with a strange tone in her voice

"It's just a temporary attitude of moderate rule, a little trick used to deceive the ignorant!If these Gauls knew the brutal nature of the Falcon Empire, they wouldn't be so happy and happy," said Algernon Julia with a slightly disdainful expression as she picked up a copy of the text across from her, "The Falcon Empire is indeed brutal, but it has always been remarkable in terms of war and government affairs!" Andalyn's disapproving gaze swept over a stall not far away. "According to the teacher's information, since the Falcon Army announced the occupation of the middle tier city, the aristocratic class in the city has not suffered the expected purge.

The Falcon Empire only declared that the plebeians of Gaul had the same power as the nobles, that everyone was equal, that the children of the commoners could be sent to school in the same way as the nobles, that the nobles were free to do business and participate in various chambers of commerce, that the peasants could get land to cultivate, and that a large number of lands on the outskirts of the cities were recovered. and then re-assign,

The nobles who were repossessed of their land were all compensated by the Falcon Empire, and to be honest, even the teacher said that whether we want to, or not, we have to accept that the Falcon Army's occupied areas are tending to stabilize the situation, or this is what the teacher calls "people's hearts"!"

Although very reluctant, he was assigned by his teacher, Hasenrimbaud. Andaline was arranged to be the retinue of Algernon Julia's lieutenant, and during the five months of confrontation with the Falcon Empire, Hasenrampo, who did his best to gather intelligence about the enemy, can be regarded as the person who knows the Falcon Empire best at present.

Andarin, who was dressed in a standard style of female knight's outfit, had her dark blonde hair cut short, making people think she was a handsome teenager at first glance, but in her slender figure, silky skin, and orange scarf exposed by the neckline. It seems to prove that she is a woman.

She seemed to disagree, and even a little annoyed, at Algernon Julia's disregard for civilians

Algernon Julia clearly sensed this and put down the text in her hand. The corner of his mouth smiled, "Miss Andaline, you must know that civilians are just civilians, there are tens of millions of such people in the empire, their strength is as weak as ants, in the face of such a behemoth as the country, how much role can they play? Compared with the interests of the empire, these so-called popular hearts are very ridiculous things!"

"And the word "people's heart" does not come from my Gallic language family, but from the language family of Central Belgium, it seems that the Hasenlimbo people fought in the eastern battlefield, and at the same time they were also influenced by the culture of Central Belgium! And I, having studied for three years at Kyoto College, the most prestigious school in the Central Belgian Empire, know better than him what it means to be a people's heart.

"In the face of absolute power, the power of the people's will is too small, almost negligible! Don't believe too much in such an ethereal thing" Algernon Julia's voice was comfortable and crisp, full of the beautiful feeling of music, but it was also full of a kind of cold arrogance in it, "Although the people's hearts are weak, as long as there are enough of them, they can be gathered into a huge force that can promote the entire era!" The teacher once expressed his appreciation for the concentration of imperial power in the Central Belgian Empire, and that the system in which power was highly concentrated in the hands of the emperor was the most ideal system in the Gallic Empire, and in particular, the teacher believed that the people's theory of the Central Belgian Empire was the core key to the study of the entire Central Belgian culture! Because the replacement of imperial power in the Central Belgian Empire was based on this foundation! From this, we can see the traces of the rise and fall of an empire!

"Lord Hasenlambo must not have told you, that the country that believes in the so-called "people's heart" is now facing a powerful invasion from the northern barbarians, thousands of people have been slaughtered, and the sound of wailing is all over the land, and that country has nothing to do but launch the so-called volunteer army and the like, this is the power of the people's heart?"

Algernon Julia looked at Andalyn, who was unconvinced, smiled slightly, her eyes were filled with a deep sadness, and said slowly, "If the people's heart really works, then the powerful northern barbarians would have been wiped out by the "people's heart" a long time ago, and it is also because of this that I gave up my studies in the Central Bia Empire and quietly returned to the empire, because I finally understood that the only thing that can make the empire strong is the iron-blooded sword and the ruthlessness to the enemy! Andalene looked at Algernon Julia's indifferent expression, and whispered very unceremoniously, "If it's for what I'm protecting, even if it's cold-blooded, it's nothing!" The corners of Algernon Julia's mouth twitched, her eyes were cast, she didn't want to argue anymore, her expression was calm and she continued to turn her own text, this time in addition to the so-called "appreciating the qin", there is a more important matter, that is, the redemption of prisoners, a battle on the Eastern Front. The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth local garrisons ...... When the 7 local garrison regiments were completely annihilated, and more than 30,000 people died in battle, in addition to the 77,000 people brought back by Hasenlimpo, and the more than 5,000 blue holy beast cavalry who discovered in advance that they were not right to withdraw, the Falcon Army captured 124 local garrison officers and 57,000 soldiers in one fell swoop.

The condition offered by the Falcon King was a ransom of 2 million gold coins, and because the matter was extremely secretive, the only person who knew about it was Hasenrimbaud, which was for a total of more than 50,000 captives. The ransom of 2 million gold coins is really not a high price, and in the face of the Falcon Army's request for this meeting, Algernon Julia, who is the real leader of the Rasti Line, really has no choice to refuse. The empire can lose the weak and incalculable hearts of the people, but for the nobles and the army that support the stormy edifice of the empire, it cannot show the same indifference as the commoners, if ignored, it will shake the entire Rusty line.

"Tempting yourself into the game with such conditions. If I'm not mistaken, the Falcon King may take me hostage and put the general in a passive position, so I'll ask Lord Hasenlimbo to stay in my absence. Being able to keep an eye on the Falcon Army's movements, Julia is ready to abandon herself if necessary!"

Before leaving, Julia Algernon expressed her sincerity in attending the meeting in Hasenrimbaud. As the head of the military and the person most responsible for the battle on the Eastern Front, Hasenrambo showed the iron nature of an outstanding soldier. said that he would personally arrange the defense and not give the Falcon Army a chance to take advantage of it.

As Algernon Julia entered the Falcon-controlled area, the situation on the Rastisi line also began to become tense, in the night wind blowing through the fields, the grass and woods made a rattling sound, the night sky in early April was full of stars, in the Gallic army Provisional Legion headquarters was also fully entered into battle preparations, the staff officers of the legions running back and forth, from the beginning of entering the gate, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, cloaked and heavily armed patrols walked back and forth from time to time, in the barracks outside the city, the troops who received the order to open were assembled and on standby, and at any time they might need to drive into the most fierce areas of battle, and at the corner of the hall corridor, a soldier blocked the path of an attendantand carefully check the documents of the summons

These soldiers had stern faces, and they were dressed in the costumes of the Hasenlimbo guards, which was a sight that could only be seen in a really important meeting, and the rare sabre-rattling atmosphere made all the Gallic generals who walked into the conference room feel a little nervous, "What's the matter, Lord Hasenlimbo, what's the matter!"

"yes, is this just looking for death? This madness had to be stopped, the sound of all kinds of muffled chattering, the sound of the crowd moving back and forth, made the air in the whole conference room tense, and their troops had just received an order to reverse their previous retreat, and quickly build a series of wooden camps within the defensive line, under the command of Hasenlimpo himself, and the 250,000 Gallic troops discharged an extremely rare attack posture, which seemed to be a provocation to the Falcon army opposite

"Bang bang" A rush of footsteps came from the doorway, and then the guards raised their voices and shouted, "Lord Hasenrambo has arrived!" Like an unusual tacit understanding, the low sound of grace and grace immediately stopped, and only the sound of the cold wind outside could be heard outside

"All stand up" The sound of all the Gallic generals standing up in unison shook the entire conference room, almost filling the entire conference room. Hasenrampo waved his hand to everyone, "Sit down, Lord Prison is not coming back, I will preside over this meeting alone!"

"What!Why didn't Lord Overseer show up?" it was Tie Lan who made this voice, and he stood there with an annoyed face, and questioned loudly, "Lord Hasenrambo, why didn't Lord Overseer come, or did Lord Overseer inform Lord Overseer of this meeting, if that is the case, this meeting is a meeting against His Majesty's will! I need an explanation from my lord."

"Yes, why didn't Lord Overseer come, what the hell is going on!" The generals also looked at each other, everyone knew that the person who was really in charge now was Algernon Julia, as for Hasenrimbaud, it was only a matter of time before he was deprived of the position of chief executive, and all the generals did not speak, but their suspicious eyes had already explained a thing,

Hasenranpo took a deep breath of cold air with a grim face, the situation in front of him made him angry, but he thought of the danger in the depths of Algernon Julia's army. Needing the support of the army, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Algernon Julia is not on the Western Front at the moment, because of a special mission, she is now on the territory of the Falcon Army, and she is about to start negotiations with the brutal Falcon King, the reason why I convened an emergency meeting is for this reason, for the Lord of the Overseers who are in danger, the courage you show now is also strong, and the more secure it is for negotiations." Therefore, we must show the combat power of the Gallic army, so that the Falcon King on the opposite side will not dare to act rashly against the Warlord!" "The Warden is on the territory of the Falcon Army!" This news came out, which immediately made the faces of all the Gallic generals attending the meeting change, and the first thing that everyone thought of was whether Hasenlimpo had poisoned the Warden Army, such a statement is really unconvincing! The hesitant faces of the generals made Hasenranpo feel the urge to vomit blood, when did he become so untrusted by his subordinates, sure enough. It was correct for the woman to hand over the token to herself before leaving, but it was also sad to say that she had fought for the empire for more than ten years and worked hard. Covered with scars, it is not as trustworthy as a woman, "If you don't believe it, here is the handwritten book left by the Prison Guard!" Hasenranbo took out a letter with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth and handed it to Tie Lan, who was the loudest, "The Prison Commander does have something extremely important and has to leave." If you continue to entangle here, it will only make the situation of Lord Warden more and more passive!" "Lord Warden's handwritten letter?" Tie Lan took the letter, his suspicious gaze swept over. The delicate handwriting on it is indeed the handwriting of Algernon Julia, the handwriting is clear and smooth, it doesn't look like it was written under forced circumstances, Tielan handed the letter to the next person suspiciously, and finally showed a little trust on his face, and said slowly, "Okay, although I can't be sure of the authenticity of this letter, but I prefer to believe that the Lord is loyal to the Empire, for the safety of the Lord of the Prison Army, please explain the arrangement of this battle immediately!"

Hasenrampo finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the wall where the map was hung, pointed to the area of the Western Front, and said loudly, "This time, our mission is not to fight, but to put pressure on the front-line combat units of the Falcon Army!

Hasenrambo stretched out a finger and pointed to a city on the map and said, "The meeting place of the Supervisor is here, and the nearest unit is also 30 miles away from us, in order to ensure the safety of the meeting of the Supervisor Lord, we can only push the battle line forward, so that it is possible to break away from the defensive belt we have built, so I decided to have the 17th Heavy Garrison Regiment be placed on the north side of the meeting place, and the 21st, The defense line of the 24th Garrison Regiment echoes each other, and on the side of the Kyoto Army, I need to get rid of the 15,000 cavalry of the Kyoto Army of the Tielan people at the entrance to the Andesk Mountain Road, and if necessary, a blow can be formed from the left flank, and I will personally lead the 6th Army Corps and the 22nd and 24th local garrison regiments to push to the right flank, so that we can form a solid iron triangle, and the 18th Garrison Regiment also needs to advance to the Alonsodi corridor,

There is the entrance to the straight passage directly to the rear of our army, there is a strong fortress in the middle, and there are 17,000 troops stationed in the 19th and 20th garrison regiments, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the strategic significance is not great, even if it hits the end of the passage, it will be necessary to face the ferocious counterattack of my 250,000 army, unless the other party is crazy, the possibility of launching an attack is extremely low, but it is also best to achieve complete defense, and the other troops will fully spread out their strength according to their respective defense areas, from the comparison of troops, the northwest army of the Falcon army on the opposite side, because it needs to leave manpower to guard the middle line of the city area, so it is still inferior to us in terms of overall strength, according to intelligence at presentOpposite us were 70,000 of the Falcon Empire's Central Army, 50,000 of the Southern Second Army, and 30,000 of the Eastern Courtyard Cavalry, with a total strength of 150,000!

"Lord Hasenrambo, what if the Falcon Army launches an attack on all fronts against us?" said a Gallic general with a hint of concern, "Although our army is superior in numbers, when it comes to combat strength and equipment, we have been thrown out by the other side by a large margin, and the morale of the soldiers is low, and my subordinates are afraid of collapse in the event of a head-on contact!"

"Yes, the Falcon army is famous for its good warfare, and even the Gangfei people have been beaten and moved to Kyoto, and if they break away from the defensive line, our army will not be able to fight head-on!" chimed another Gallic general

"If encountered, or if the Falcon Army attacks on a large scale, I allow you to have the right to make decisions on the spot!" Hasenlimbo looked very helpless, it was really the Falcon Army that fought too fiercely, losing their armor all the way, and the generals were also scared, from this point of view, it was also a strategic helplessness to take the initiative to give up the middle line and strive for enough troops for the Western Front.

"If you don't have any problems, please go back and arrange it immediately!" Hasenranpo's gaze swept over everyone's uncertain faces, and he said in a condensed voice, "The safety of the Overseer is entrusted to you! May the fighting of our warriors become a strong shield for the Overseer in the enemy camp!" (To be continued......)
