CHAPTER XVII
West of the Kingdom of Fabre, Hyde City.
After learning that the main army of the Fabre Kingdom was only more than thirty miles away from Hyde City, the crown prince Tok Orlando personally led 2,000 cavalry to meet him, while Corinth, who was bent on going with the army, was left behind by Li Yuxuan before leaving.
A frustrated Collins followed Li Yuxuan into Li Yuxuan's residence.
"Collins, there are some things I think should be told to you!"
"What's the matter?" Collins felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little different today, and his eyes scanned the entire room, and found that there was a small package on the bed, "Are you leaving?"
Li Yuxuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the war is almost over, it's time to leave." ”
"However, you are now the Secretary of State of the Kingdom of Fabre, and you have made great achievements in the battle against the Newman army this time, and the king does not know how to use you again. Anyway, it will definitely be glory and wealth in the future, and Teucer is your student again, why don't you stay?" Collins couldn't figure out why Li Yuxuan didn't want to let go of the glory and wealth in his hands, and always wanted to leave. I didn't know that the man in front of me was the king who held the fate of an empire.
"Collins, do you really think I'm just an ordinary martial artist with great martial arts, haven't you ever doubted my identity?"
"Actually, I thought about it too, but since you don't want to say it, I don't bother to ask. I'm like that, I don't like to speculate. ”
Li Yuxuan turned to Collins and shook his head helplessly: "I don't know if this is your advantage or disadvantage, in fact, your intelligence is not inferior to Teucer, the reason why your usual performance is not as good as Teucer is because you are not willing to think carefully about anything and do not want to spend too much energy." ”
Collins grabbed his hair and smiled, "It's good that you know, why don't you say it so unkindly." ”
"Because you have to think about today's events!"
"It's related to your departure, but the war isn't over yet!"
"It's almost over, tomorrow when Tork and his father return to Hyde, and Nayankel is not in a position to attack it, and as for Ferdinand's cavalry, I am afraid that they have been defeated at the foot of Cyres. ”
"But Yankel's army still occupies a large area west of Hyde City and east of the Kamau River!"
"It's good to be able to maintain the stalemate. The present kingdom of Fabre was simply unable to retake the occupied territory from the Youngermen army in Yankel. Whether it is the strength of the army or the combat effectiveness of the army, the Fabre army is in a relatively weak position. If it weren't for Ferdinand's trick this time, the kingdom of Fabre would probably have perished. ”
"But......" Collins seemed to want to say something more, and seeing that Li Yuxuan's face had a displeased expression, he could only swallow back the words on his lips.
"Do you know 'home'?"
"Is it the 'homeland' in the south of the continent, I know, I heard Teucer mention it to me not long ago!"
"Looks like he should already know who I am. Li Yuxuan muttered to himself.
"Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Collins wondered.
"Leave this alone, what did Teucer say to you?"
"It's nothing, it's just some simple facts about 'homeland'. It is said that it was a new military force, which had recently risen and was now a military bloc in the south that immediately stood alongside the great power of Dzungar. And then there's the fact that they're now commanded by a nineteen-year-old boy, who doesn't seem to be the real head of the military bloc. Their real leader disappeared a few years ago, and his name seems to be Li Yuxuan's, and I heard that he is a very scary guy. ”
"I am Li Yuxuan, the real leader of the 'homeland'!"
"What!"
Collins, who was not mentally prepared at all, exclaimed in surprise at first glance, and sat in the chair behind him, with an expression of disbelief, and his two eyes stared at Li Yuxuan as if he had seen a monster.
"How so, did I mishear?" Collins muttered to himself.
"You heard me right. Although Collins's voice was very small, how could he hide it from Li Yuxuan, who was like a god of martial arts, "I am Li Yuxuan, the head of the 'homeland', and the nineteen-year-old boy you are referring to is my guest secretary, and also the chief of my 'staff service', or the prime minister of a country, his name is Xu Ruoyu." ”
"Then you're not a king, no, you should be an emperor, right?" Corinth asked, pointing at Li Yuxuan.
"I'm just the head of the house now, neither a king nor an emperor. Li Yuxuan looked at Collins in front of him with some amusement.
"But I've heard that there are 100,000 infantry in the current 'homeland'!"
"I don't know about this, but the army building plan that Xu Ruoyu and I made that day should be like this. ”
"Then you're going back to the south, aren't you?"
"There's one more thing to do, and when that's done, I'll go back to the south. ”
"What's the matter?"
"It's about you, have you forgotten what I promised Kemal that day in the Alps. Would I like to take you to the capital city, where the headquarters of the Washer Mercenary Regiment is located, within a year?"
"What! no! Oh no, the head of the house. You have so many things to do, I think you should go back to the south directly, as for the gate capital, I can go there myself. ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to the capital city, Corinth was reluctant in his heart.
"Are you so honest? Besides, I promised Captain Kemal at the time, what should I do if you slip away and people ask me for someone!"
Late that night, Li Yuxuan and Collins took advantage of the night to leave Hyde City. By the time the next morning, when the two father and son arrived at Hyde City with their army, the two had already disappeared without a trace.
As for the war, which took place in the western part of the continent, it ended with the signing of a new treaty between the two sides.
Ferdinand's 30,000 cavalry returned home safely, and only about 2,000 of them died in a foreign land. For this reason, Ferdinand was stripped of his former position as commander of the Southern Front of the Empire. After destroying more than 10,000 cavalry in Dakar, Yankel also attacked Hyde City several times, during which he used various means, but the camp father and son remained unmoved and stuck to the city.
On June 3, 177 A.D., the Empire of Newman and the Kingdom of Fabre began negotiations in Hyde City, and the result of the negotiations was that Newingman withdrew his troops, and the two countries lived in peace and took the battle line on the day of the negotiation as the new border between the two countries, and the Kingdom of Fabre exchanged one-fifth of its territory for peace. Representatives of both sides, Duke Yankel and Crown Prince Tork signed the peace treaty.
Half a year later, Yankel successfully served as the military secretary of the Newman Empire. On his repeated recommendation, Ferdinand was once again reappointed by Emperor Howard II as commander of the southern front of the empire. Three years later, in the year 180 of the imperial calendar, Ferdinand finally got his coveted position as commander of the Northern Front of the Empire.
Brynpace Union, Boscombe City.
Boscomb City is one of the seven city-states of the Brynpith Alliance, located on the border between the League and the Kingdom of Fabre, and is also the city-state where the "Green Legion" of the "Seven Colored Knights" of the Brynpeth Alliance is stationed. In fact, it and Camberville, another city in Brynpace, held two main routes from the Kingdom of Fabre to the Alliance. Therefore, both can be said to be the military strongholds of the Brinpius Alliance. Further south, Camberwell is a seaside city located at the end of the Great Forest in the western part of the Union, and is a very beautiful place, but because the terrain of the seaside is typical of sandy soil, it is impossible for large ships to approach the city, which makes it avoid military threats from the sea, but again, this terrain also greatly prevents large merchant ships from docking here, causing it to lag behind economically. The good news, however, is that the long beaches and beautiful views of the city make it a popular tourist destination in the western part of the continent. Like Styx, the capital of the southern kingdom of Ya'an, it is full of wandering knights, passionate singers, and mellow wine.
On the way to the Bryn Paces Alliance, Collins asked to enter the alliance through the southern route several times, the purpose was to get a glimpse of the style of Camberwell, but Li Yuxuan never agreed, insisted on taking the northern route, leaving the territory of the Kingdom of Fabre as quickly as possible, and entering the alliance through the forest road in the western forest in the north.
Boscombe City is located in the Great Western Forest, guarding the famous Forest Avenue in the western part of the continent. The main reason why the city has developed into one of the seven city-states of the alliance is the large copper mine of Bramitchton, which is about twenty miles away from the city. This is the largest copper mine in the entire psychedelic continent, and the Bryn Pace Alliance has fought three major wars with the Kingdom of Fabre for the right to mine this copper mine. In the end, the league had a slight advantage. With the founding of the city of Burscombe one hundred and fifty years ago, the League sought to confirm its ownership of the Bramitchton Copper Mine. Today, the Bramichitong Copper Mine makes millions of gold coins a year, 60 percent of which goes to the Alliance, which in fact finances most of its annual expenses. Therefore, for the Union as a whole, the Bramitchton Copper Mine can be regarded as the economic lifeblood of the Union government, that is, the Supreme Council of the Union. As for the remaining forty percent, half of it is owned by the remaining six city-states of the alliance, which is mainly used to pay for the alliance's "seven-colored knight army". The last twenty percent was the private property of the lord of Burscombe. Therefore, in the western part of the continent, the San Theo family of Boscomb City can be regarded as famously wealthy. San Theo Lee, who is now the lord of the city, is the patriarch of the family.
