King Faisan

In the brightly lit Gurat Banquet Hall, the moon hung high in the sky in the white marble windows, piercing through the veil-like clouds and casting a silvery white on the earth below. On the balcony extending from the hall, an old man in a delicate dress was gazing deeply at the city in front of him, the white hair on his head was shining in the moonlight, and the night was vast. The lights of thousands of homes are presented in front of you, far and near, and the dense lights spread like the ocean, until the sky beyond the sight, the stars blink over the earth, and the night fog is like smoke, hazy, and fleeting. The night breeze blows on his face, bringing the breath of late summer, and time does not seem to feel the passage here, only the old man's heart beats with the rhythm of the earth

"You're looking for me?"

A middle-aged man wearing a red Faisan officer's uniform appeared behind, the middle-aged man had high cheekbones, slender eyes, and a tall nose revealing an aristocratic atmosphere different from that of the Central European Baro, his eyes flashed with a faint fierceness, standing there, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, but at this moment, this sharp sword seemed to have lost some sharpness, "Pastanon"

The old man turned around, his gaze paused on the middle-aged man, and then his face was slightly cold and said, "As the only general of the Faysan Kingdom who has participated in the battle of Gangfei and seen the true strength of the Falcon Imperial Army, I don't think that your previous argument at the meeting was wrong, but it is also very undesirable to blindly emphasize the strength of the enemy and ignore your own strength!

"Your Majesty," Duke Pastanon hesitated for a moment, and said, "The Falcon Empire is powerful for all to see, and this powerful empire, which occupies almost half of the western continent and spans the vast region of north-central Obarro, has become a great stone in the hearts of all contemporaries. Although I, Faysan, have the upper hand, but to be honest, it is really ...... to start a war with the Falcon Empire at this time" Pastanon's voice stopped talking, and he didn't know what to say for a while, "Not optimistic, is it?" The old man's old eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a shuddering breath "Yes, my subordinates are really not optimistic!" Pastanon mustered up the courage and said loudly, "Since our army defeated the Iranian army, the entire Faysan Kingdom has been like a big blowout that has been suppressed for a long time. Victory, victory, victory, the battle reports from the front are all like this, not only nobles, soldiers, even an ordinary Faisan will not hesitate to think that the Istan people have reached a desperate situation, and Fesan is not afraid of any opponent now. Even the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Istan people have been defeated, and Fei San has something to fear, and this mentality is the most frightening!"

"Isn't it nice that the whole country is united? Why do you think that?"

The old man looked into the distance with a calm expression. The majestic city wall, the ancient city wall is covered with leafy green vines. In the place where the green vines are scarce, mottled traces are revealed, and the vicissitudes of history are deeply recorded. Some granite stones have turned into a pitch black mass. It gives people a deep sense of shock, and it can be seen from this that the environment of the royal capital of Feishan is absolutely not related to comfort and comfort. There is even a bit of a feeling of hardship,

"Your Majesty, although I don't know how to express it, but according to what I have seen in the south of Gangfei, the strength of the Imperial Army is so strong that it cannot be viewed from the conventional eye!" Pastanon hesitated, took a deep breath and said. At the Imperial Military Conference held just now, this state of self-confidence from top to bottom was terrifying, and most of the generals of the Ministry of Military Affairs said that the Iraqi people were no longer afraid, and now the real henchmen of the kingdom were still entrenched in the coastal area of the 100,000 Falcon Imperial Army, such an idea was not wrong, but from top to bottom, they thought that they could easily exterminate these 100,000 Imperial Army, that was a big mistake!"

"Isn't it right to gather forces to eliminate this huge hidden danger in one fell swoop before the Falcon Empire has time to react?" The old man frowned slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth on the balcony for a few steps, he also read the combat report sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but he saw that there was no name in the position signed by the general, so he asked Pastanon to be found, after all, there was only one Pastanon in the Faisan Army who really fought with the Falcon Imperial Army,

In the face of this report, which was full of fanatical atmosphere, the old man felt the sense of crisis invisibly with his years of experience

The corner of Pastanon's mouth smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it sounds good, but Your Majesty knows that just five days ago, the main idea of the Ministry of Military Affairs was only to force the 100,000 Imperial troops to withdraw, and they still maintained a cautious attitude towards the war with the Falcon Empire, not the annihilation and elimination that are now permeating the entire report, full of overconfident words, and the whole report seems to be written as if as long as our army advances, the Falcon Imperial Army on the opposite side will surrender or flee by itself!" This is a very terrible idea, and once the whole army thinks like this, the consequences are unimaginable."

Pastanon's voice paused, and he continued with a solemn face, "In the battle of the Great Lakes region in the south of Gangfei, my subordinates have seen with their own eyes how outstanding the combat power of the Falcon Imperial Army is, facing a coalition army with a number of 200,000 people, the number of the Imperial Army on the opposite side is not even 40,000, but these 40,000 Imperial troops are stunned to drag 200,000 coalition troops to death in one day and one night!" If we let our subordinates switch positions with the Imperial Army, the subordinates think that they can't do this, and this time, we are facing 100,000 Imperial troops, and there are still warships of the Imperial Navy on the sea, according to the coastal terrain, it is impossible to conquer it in a short time, I don't know who gave the generals such full confidence! If the main force of the kingdom with such an idea is allowed to rush to the battlefield, the subordinates dare not think about what the consequences will be!"

"There's some truth to what you're saying!"

The old man's face was slightly silent, in fact, the old man's gaze was farther and more thorough than Pastanon's, and the reason for this trend was very clear, it was because of the nobles, because they felt that victory was within reach, and the restlessness of the nobles had begun to be unbearable. So much so that the use of influence to make the entire kingdom begin to favor war" Those Falcon Imperial Army are like vultures entrenched in carrion, if you don't give them a little bit of power, these guys will not take the initiative to leave the coastal area!" Every day outside the gate of the Kingdom Military Department, there will be people from all walks of life gathering, and the nobles are also petitioning the King and the Military Department on a large scale, and the streets and alleys are full of slogans and lists: "The Falcon Empire is not an ally, it is an enemy, it is a robber!" "Drive away the robbers and return my homeland." “

All sorts of slogans are written on the street walls. The doors of the shops along the street are also full of such things, for the people of Feshan, who have just defeated their old enemies and are intoxicated by the powerful arguments, after learning the news that the Falcon Empire's army is entrenched in the coastal area and refuses to leave, they unanimously erupted in condemnation of the Falcon Empire, and the staff officers and officers who come and go to the Ministry of Military Affairs also have a somewhat hostile attitude towards the Falcon Empire on their faces, and as a high-level member of the Ministry of Military Affairs, there are few Pastanon who still maintains a calm. Nature has also become an alternative in the eyes of everyone,

"Okay, you go back first, I want to be quiet!"

The old man waved his hand. With a hint of contemplation, his eyes fell on a huge spiked object in the center of the city in the distance, and he asked himself, was he really wrong?

It is the monument to Nagurat, which has been standing in the capital of King Fesan for 900 years, and commemorates the founder of the kingdom of Feshan. Thousands of years ago, Nagurat, the last prince of the Fia dynasty, the nephew of the prince at the end of the Fia dynasty, was stripped of the princely throne because of rebellion. Sentenced to serve in Gulat, one of the most difficult regions of the time

Gulat, which is now the capital of King Feshan,

In the era of the Fiya Dynasty a thousand years ago, it was a bitter cold place used by the dynasty to exile political enemies, and the history of the royal capital of Fesan also began with a semi-prison called Fort Gulat at that time.

The huge Fiya Dynasty fell apart overnight, and the princes of the central region rose up one after another, and Fort Gulat, which was the exile of the dynasty and the barrier, was the only area that was not affected, and the princes of the region who were vying for power naturally forgot that this seemingly flat, but in fact it was a strangulation ground on the eastern front line of the entire dynasty

Fort Gulat because of the natural environment is much worse than the Baro region of Central Europe, and often attacked by the Numans from the East, almost every year thousands of people will be killed, the people sent here, often within a few years will all be replaced, there are nobles who have been condemned to death, thieves, robbers, tax resisters, sinners who attack the nobility, these people constitute the two sinners of the Fiya Dynasty, the main duty of the sinners' legion is to fight against the Numans east of Fort Gulat,

The Numans are a barbarian people who have risen strongly in the east of the dynasty, and the Istan people at that time were only a small official in charge of the horse whip of the Numan king, and the Numans were strong and strong, and since their rise, they have swept thousands of square kilometers in the east, and they are the biggest enemies of the Fiya dynasty in the east, and the princes can ignore the existence of this sensitive area, because whoever occupies Fesan is equivalent to the need to carry the position of the eastern barrier,

It was during that period that the Fisan people continued to absorb the strength to flee from the divided dynasty, with extraordinary perseverance and courage, to resist the Numans in the east, and resist the impact of the disintegration of the dynasty in the west, and finally developed and grew in this cracked area, even if time passed, thousands of years passed, the Fisan people regarded themselves as the remnants of the Fiya dynasty to the outside world, and there is a huge monument in the center of the royal capital, which is inscribed with the name of the last prince of the Fiya dynasty

Pastanon retreated to the door with a respectful expression, looked at the old man's back, and then turned to leave, tomorrow, there is a very important meeting of the Ministry of Military Affairs, "The combat power of the Imperial Army should not be underestimated, although the strength of the army is only 100,000, but they are all elite clusters that have been in battle for a long time, and they have the courage to choose to start a war with the Empire, the possibility of Faisan winning is still very small......" Pastanon made a generous statement, and raised objections at the internal meeting of the Ministry of Military Affairs with a firm expression," When is it, can't you still see the shape clearly, at this time, the person who is still singing about the enemy's strength, is it simply that everyone is the enemy?" someone pretended to be dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice, "Hehe, some people are like this, what they dare not do, they will also be exposed to stop others!"

Pastanon listened to the discussion in his ears, sat down with a cold expression, and said that his position would never waver, "As the deputy minister of military affairs, I will not sign that report!" As the person in charge of Faisan's participation in the battle of the Great Lakes region with the Central European Barrow coalition forces, although he decisively chose to evacuate and was not affected by the fiasco of the battle for the Great Lakes region, his reputation of fleeing from the battle cannot be escaped, and for the always proud Faisan soldiers, this is a stain that cannot be erased in a short time. As a result of this, Pastanon was relieved of his duties when he returned to the country, and only recently was he activated.

And the reason for the activation is self-evident, that is, the Faisan Military Department needs someone who understands the Falcon Imperial Army, and among the high-level people who meet this point, there is only Pastanon!

It's just that no one expected that Pastanon would express such a big opposition to the war with the Empire, and he really felt like he wanted to be scared out of his soul, and he would tremble at the mention of war with the Falcon Empire! For some of the generals who had pity for Pastanon at the beginning, Pastanon's current image is like that of a traitor! Naturally, Pastanon's position in the Ministry of Military Affairs is also in a state of isolation, and there are almost no people willing to express their support, and the generals' eyes seem to have invariably shifted from Pastanon's body, as if they had seen nothing, and they talked about themselves at the bottom.

"It seems. The battle in the Great Lakes region in the south of Gangfei has frightened some people, so much so that as a soldier of Feshan, he chose to stand still in the face of such a once-in-a-century opportunity!" a sharp and caustic voice. Pierced Pastanon's eardrums while a tall General Fishan was at the same time. With an indignant expression, he stood up and looked at the others, "It's ridiculous to hate that when my soldiers are fighting bravely, such a coward mutters in his ear! If only the cowardice of a coward gives up the plan." Then I will choose to use my own reputation to maintain my dignity as a soldier!" "You!" Pastanon looked at the general, his face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly. His hands clenched unnaturally and violently, "Isn't it? Isn't it clear to Lord Pastanon that if we can't drive away the Falcon Imperial Army and take back what belongs to us, then what kind of face do we soldiers have to face our countrymen and your majesty! What is the difference between such a victory and an insult!"

The voice of General Fei Shan actually caused a voice of support from below: "This is a military meeting to decide the future of the kingdom, there is no question of who insults whom, everyone is a soldier, and everyone's starting point is for the kingdom! The voice was made by a fair-skinned middle-aged man, this middle-aged man had a very upright face, dressed in a red General Faisan uniform, with a golden arabesque coat of arms at the towering neckline, and three blue bars on the cuffs, indicating that it was the identity symbol of the deputy head of the military affairs department of Faisan, who looked personable, and was of the same level as Pastanon, with a hint of unceremonious tone in his calm tone, not to mention a pair of sharp eyes under the two delicate eyebrows, which was undisguised disdain,

He is the other deputy chief of the three deputy ministers of the military affairs department of Fa Fa Biya, the Duke of Caliph Biya, a forty-three-year-old kingdom hawk this year, and it is said that he is also the mastermind behind all kinds of public opinion outside, "Lord Caliph Biya, am I not right?" Seeing that it was the caliph Biya who spoke, the general Fei Shan sat down again in dissatisfaction, no wonder the generals spoke very consistently, it is really too tempting for the interests of the coastal area, salivating,

The Kingdom of Fesan adopted a slavery system, according to this system, whoever can seize the coastal areas and snatch those ports that are making money every day from the hands of the Falcon Imperial Army can be counted as the spoils of this war into their private wallets, not to mention that everyone knows that this time the Iraqi army retreated, and 80% of the large amount of materials and treasures temporarily discarded fell into the hands of the Falcon Imperial Army, you must know how huge this wealth is,

The Iranian army attacked the Kyoto of the Congo Empire to the west, and it took half a month to burn and loot it, and the plundered gold and jewelry were piled up together, and there was a gold and jewelry pyramid with a length and width of fifty or sixty meters and a height of ten meters, and the Emperor of Islam Soladin I had raised his horsewhip and pointed at this jewel mountain from the side of this jewel mountain, and promised all the soldiers of the Istanbul army that as long as they captured the royal capital of the old enemy Fishan people, this jewel gold mountain was a reward, and then the Istan army attacked the kingdom of Fishan, and its ferocity was absolutely rare in a hundred years,

According to the conservative estimates of the nobles of Fishan, the total value of their looted wealth is at least more than 20 million gold coins, which is still not counting the huge materials that are piled up and enough for the nobles of Feishan to hold a whole winter banquet when the cold winter comes, in the face of such interests, how not to make the Feishan army moved, this time in order to gather counterattack forces, the Feishan Kingdom recruited almost all the nobles of the entire kingdom, as well as some of the private armies formed by these nobles, and the promise made is who can defeat the Iranian army"Now when the front line is advancing vigorously and achieving a complete victory, even the murderous Istanbulites will not be beaten by us! The strength of the empire pressed into the battlefield of Fessan is only 100,000 people, and in the face of my 400,000 strong army of Feshan, it must be so frightened that they don't even dare to move." The Faisan nobles are running back and forth in the military, and in front of such huge benefits, even the military, which was still cautious before, will change the direction of the wind, and they can't sit back and watch the Falcon Imperial Army involve all the property of the Iraqns, how willingly!

Halfway through the meeting, the meeting was interrupted by a hurried-looking officer, who handed a report to Minister of Military Affairs Fishan, who was sitting on the main seat, and whispered, "Urgent news from the coastal area, the Falcon Imperial Army is fighting without a declaration, the Seventh and Eighth Armies are trapped, the Ninth Army is going to the rescue, there is no further news for the time being!"

"What!" Faisan's face suddenly stood up, his eyes looked at Pastanon with fierce anger, just when Pastanon was full of puzzlement, the Minister of War threw the finished report in front of him, and snorted angrily, "Look what this is! The Falcon Imperial Army fought without declaring war, the two legions of the kingdom were trapped, and tens of thousands of kingdom warriors were bloody on the battlefield, and we are still here to discuss whether we can go to war!, Your Excellency Pastanon, this is all thanks to you!"
