Chapter 82: The Walking Dead

At the beginning of the Longhan calendar, the aborigines of the Shusyari continent were hit hard, first the Marshal of the Satya Empire, Maxim, was assassinated, and 300,000 soldiers were defeated without a fight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And in one day a year later, the strongest cavalry regiment of the Oslan Empire was defeated by foreign soldiers with more than 10,000 casualties. At the same time, the Blue Dragon Knight, who was performing a special mission, died on the battlefield, and the mission was forced to be interrupted. Satya formed a group of soldiers to launch a sneak attack on Tallinn Fort, but was attacked by unknown creatures on the march and suffered heavy losses.

Two urgent reports were placed in front of Hebrew's eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot after not closing his eyes for three days and three nights. He locked himself in his room and did not go out, and simply handed over the task of defending the city to Noldax. Fortunately, the aliens did not intend to attack the city, and after the battle, they withdrew their troops directly back to Tallinnburg.

At this time, no one dared to touch this moldy head, and even the berserker with a weak brain was scared away by the breath at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion. Since the soldiers returned to Budapest with Cosimo's body, the Hebrew has not spoken a word. No one dared to go in except for Berdwin, who delivered food every day.

"General, General. As soon as he left the door, he was stopped by Nordax.

"Marshal, hasn't eaten?" Nodax saw that the food in his hand did not move. Berdwin sighed and shook his head.

"Does the marshal have any new instructions?" asked Nodax again.

"Alas, the marshal has already written an urgent letter to the imperial capital, and it is estimated that it will not be long before a new marshal arrives. ”

"What? Marshal is leaving, why?" asked Nodax, his eyes wide.

Bodwin replied helplessly: "It's not the marshal who wants to leave, it's the entire heavy cavalry brigade of our Red Panther Knights who wants to go." ”

When Nodax heard this, he became anxious, and reached out and grabbed Berdwin's thick arm: "Why? Why is this good thing leaving? What are we going to do when you leave?"

"We have only taken the heavy cavalry," replied, "and your Excellency has seen that the heavy cavalry is useless in such a battlefield. He paused and lowered his voice and whispered: "The loss of so many heavy cavalry this time is a great blow to the entire empire, plus the death of General Cosimo, I estimate that the empire will not start another war in a short time." Prepare for a long defensive. ”

With that, Berdwin patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave. He was left alone to stand there stunned.

In the summer of the third year of the Longhan calendar, Hebrew Capet, the marshal of the Western Theater of Operations of the Empire, took the initiative to apply to return to the imperial capital to ask for guilt. In this war, the empire killed a total of 4,000 nobles, and according to the laws of the empire, it is indeed possible to remove the supreme commander from his post in wartime and escort him back to Beijing. However, before the order of the Empire came down this time, Hebrew applied for it himself, which also made the Imperial Military Department feel quite embarrassed. On one side is the son of the prime minister of the military department, and on the other side is four thousand nobles and an imperial dragon knight. It's really embarrassing for them.

In view of the fact that the Hebrew stationed in the western part of the empire had never gone wrong, the final result of the discussion in the imperial military headquarters was to transfer Hebrew from his original post and return to Kyoto to wait for his fate. He returned with all the heavy cavalry of the Red Panther Order.

In addition, the head of the "Blue Eagle Knights", one of the five elite "Blue Eagle Knights", Marquis Dominique Sterman, was transferred to serve as the new Marshal of the Western Empire. At the same time, the light cavalry of the two brigades of the "Blue Eagle Knights", which were originally stationed in the eastern part of the empire, were mobilized to Budapest. In addition, the Imperial War Department officially upgraded the national war level to a level 3 early warning. All veterans of the Ministries who had previously served in the military for three years and were discharged within five years were barred from leaving their home countries and were required to travel to major cities to report for the next three months.

It was only then that the civilians of the empire realized that the war had already begun, and that it was so close to them.

Since the appearance of aliens on the mainland, killing, burning, looting and plundering have been done in all kinds of evil, and various countries have accused the Satya Empire of bringing aliens to this world. The alien territory is at the junction of the two empires on the mainland, but the two empires have nothing to do with them. Prince Schwab raised an army of 300,000 men to attack Tallinn several times, all of which ended in failure. Alien portals sent a steady stream of soldiers to the mainland, and the Satyan army was defeated and retreated, so they had to retreat to Ankara City.

In the autumn of the same year, Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See led 2,000 Templars to the front, and the Pope called on the entire continent to unite against the invasion of foreign soldiers. However, the other two major powers on the mainland have chosen a wait-and-see state because they have not yet intervened in the war. For a time, the alien race actually occupied three cities on the border between Tallinn Fort and Ankara.

At the strong suggestion of the alien general Takuya Sanada, the alien began to take gentle measures against the towns they occupied. Civilians in the occupied territories were prevented from leaving the country, but their lives were spared.

An alien empire called the Land of the Sun has emerged in the hinterland of the continent, and the three countries that have temporarily ceased war have entered their respective stages of repair. The Land of the Sun assigns low-ranking soldiers to various towns to help the villagers grow farmland and build villages, and begins to plan for a long-term war.

At the same time, Bert and others, who had already arrived in Lisbon, had already begun to prepare for their lives. Celt was promoted to the Marquis for Life, joined the regular army of the Empire, and replaced Hebrew as the head of the "Red Panther Knights". In exchange for his enlistment, Bert Harvey, the Celtic son, was exempted from being drafted into the army. It was then that Bert understood why his father had agreed to join the army, so that his children could stay away from the war.

In fact, he didn't have to do this, Bert and Eileen, who were born in the Holy Patriarchate, were not obliged to serve in the military in Osland, and even if they had to join the army, they would join the Holy See's troops. It's just that he understands Bert's character, so he can only force him to stay away from the war.

At this time, because Hebrew was transferred back to the imperial capital, the entire "Red Panther Knights" heavy cavalry brigade was also left in the imperial capital for repair. The military department purchased a batch of heavy cavalry equipment from the private armies of nobles in various places at a high price, and a large number of young knights who had just graduated from the knight school joined the "Red Panther Knights".

After nearly two years on the road, Bert and Erin return to the Academy of Magic to receive the Honorific Ceremony of the High Magician. King Frederick III personally performed the ceremony. Bert and Eileen were knighted for life in the Empire, while Frank, who traveled to Tallinn Castle, was knighted as the Imperial Golden Feather Knight. Sharp-eyed people will find that the return of Celtic has made the troubled waters of the imperial aristocracy even dirtier.

Celtic himself was a Marquis of the Empire, although not hereditary, but his son was also promoted to the title of Baron of the Empire. Although no one said it explicitly, the nobles who had been in the officialdom for so many years certainly understood the relationship between a baron and a knight with a golden feather who had been promoted at the same time and their family. The bright-headed man has even begun to arrange for his subordinates to prepare gifts.

Two Imperial high-ranking magicians, the head of an elite Imperial unit, and the diplomatic ambassador of the Holy See are also said to have a very good relationship with their family. Oh yes, the prime minister of the Imperial Military Department seems to be the godfather of this marquis, and as for the former western marshal who has just been transferred back to Beijing, it is directly his worshipping brother.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, this trip of the imperial nobles in troubled waters is not good.
