Chapter 1: The Continent of Watch
"From the East Harbor in the east to the island of Kuyebe in the west, from the icy lands of the far north to the resting swamps of the dead lands in the south. From now on, I will fly under the banner of this golden olive! And the land under my feet is the only continent in the world! I am the watchman of this world! This country is the watchman of this world! It will never change!"
It was the first year of the Holy Empire, and when the Continent of the Great met the Armada returning from his expedition at Noah's Bay, he faced thousands of soldiers and people who cheered enthusiastically and gave an impassioned speech from the highest podium.
In the history that followed, this speech also directly contributed to several historically influential results. First: Since then, this continent has been officially named the Watchman Continent by scholars, and it has been noted that there is no land in the world that can be called a continent except the Watchful Continent. It also indirectly proves that the conquest of the continent by Emperor Kontis is an unprecedented feat. Second: The Ghanaian Empire, which unified the mainland with the land of the western island, was officially renamed the Holy Empire. In this regard, historians have analyzed it as "the unification of peoples in the name of God." After all, in addition to the numerous human races, there are other intelligent races on the continent, such as orcs, dwarves, fishmen, elves... Although their territory and numbers will not shake the human land position at the top of the pyramid for the time being. But fundamentally speaking, unifying the estrangement of hundreds of years of human strife is the most urgent and first policy, and then the theory of sacredness and deification has become a powerful means.
In fifty years, Emperor Kontis the Great unified the conflicting kingdoms of mankind and tried his best to suppress the alien races and make them subordinate to mankind. Take in the more than 150 million square kilometers of land that guards the continent! But at this time, history played a big joke on the young Holy Empire. On the way back to the capital with his 100,000 Praetorian Guards, he disappeared!! and the astonishing monarch ended his life in the most bizarre way. And Prince Nordren, who hurriedly ascended to the throne, was in an unstable position, and he handled this matter too mediocrely. The disappearance of Contius the Great became the beginning of the division of the empire! Suddenly, many problems, including the regime, suddenly appeared on the table, and the instability of the internal regime led to the relaxation of the outside world. In the third year of the Holy Empire, rebellions organized by the royal families of many extinct countries have erupted!
Now, two hundred years later, the Holy Empire still occupies most of the West, although it is not as glorious as it is. And a small part of the eastern part of the Watchful Continent was divided into four nations, the kingdom of Ramon, Thor, Agad, and the Holy Bhikshus. Under pressure from the Holy Empire, the four nations were combined to form the alliance "Adams", which implemented a parliamentary elder system and had been constantly fighting against the Holy Empire.
"Under pressure, the Holy Bhikshu Empire renounced the sacred title, and the four kingdoms changed their capitals to the names of the nations in order to show their loyalty to the Adams Alliance......
"Okay, okay, Mr. Gan, I see. The young man interrupted the old man's rambling teaching, although his face did not show anything, and his heart was already impatient.
Luo Di was wearing black leather armor all over, his black eyes were looking ahead, and although the saber tied around his waist had not yet been unsheathed, he did not feel a trace of domineering momentum. The horses under his crotch were grazing leisurely, and behind him was a group of well-trained cavalry, while Mr. Gan beside him was talking to him with a white beard.
"Hmph, Roddy, you are the best candidate to inherit the dukedom in the future, and knowing a little more about history now will be of great use to you in front of the Council of Elders in the future. Mr. Gan stroked his white beard and slightly expressed his dissatisfaction with Roddy's attitude, and he couldn't help but criticize it in his heart.
Luo Di saw that the wise man of the Bhikshu Kingdom had some displeasure on his face, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I'm sorry Mr. Gan, but today we are here to deliver supplies to General Karon, and it should be there now, and it is not too late to listen to you when the supplies are delivered." ”
Mr. Gan opened his mouth and said nothing at the end. Luo Di looked at Mr. Gan's appearance and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't have much interest in any history or anything like that, Mr. Gan was invited by Uncle Hyde after all, so he couldn't run away with this white-bearded old man, right?
In Roddy's memory, his adoptive father, the tenth Grand Duke of Ashurade, accidentally picked him up and threw him into the right military camp for Ashuraide, although the old man didn't teach him much and disappeared, and he didn't call his father himself, but after all, he grew up in Ashurade's private military camp, so that he and this family have long had a kinship beyond blood, in the face of this once behemoth-like family, he felt that he should do something for this family.
The sky on the grassland is always so blue, blue and clear. Peregrine falcons wander in the blue sky, white clouds are long, horses, cattle and sheep are walking in the waves of grass, and each weed is quietly caressing everything, as if in a very rhythmic reversal. The wind blowing in the distance is mixed with the cool silky earthy smell, just like the innocent and simple girl on the grassland, kissing her lover gently, a moment of greenness is enough to make people unsatisfied, and then want to explore, but the girl around her quietly disappeared in the endless prairie, leaving only the sweetness and confusion full of joy.
The shepherd drove the cattle and sheep into the distance, and the big yellow dog not only had to watch the fallen lambs, but also play with the shepherd's young children. The cows, sheep and the clouds in the sky are unique into a long rhythm, and the melodious long whip waving the red sun is as beautiful as a picture. Only here can you enjoy the long-lost comfort and become a green grass and a part of the prairie.
Caron almost greedily admired what he saw, and he rode leisurely on a maroon horse, raising his huge head to reveal his shiny head. There is nothing new in becoming a corps commander of the alliance in his forties, and the corps commanders of small corps like Caron, who were originally stationed in the interior of the alliance, are like pampered old men. But Cuarón was different, and the comfortable days did not make him depressed, but inspired him to be more ambitious. The fact that the military headquarters was able to directly issue orders to the 17th Army Corps led by Caron in this operation was enough to prove Caron's operation and ability.
The big-headed Caron was even happier when he thought of this: in terms of family background, the ancestors of this big-headed general had no big people who had been knighted for generations, and there was no one who could speak for him in the military department except for a few idle relatives; In terms of ability, although he is commendable in some aspects, and his own force has also reached level 40, which is enough to suppress the robes of his peers, but the fact is that now the Holy Empire has been in chaos for two hundred years, and the old guys of most factions are still alive, not to mention that the military department is still in the hands of these old guys, and those "second generation of the army" are all in the prime of life, what can they give these guys from unknown backgrounds some opportunities to make meritorious contributions? However, Cuarón did not think so, he was a perfect opportunist, and after becoming the commander of the 17th Army, he began to constantly and quietly operate his position in the eyes of the military bosses. And now, this rare opportunity has finally made him wait!
In the past few years, the relationship between the Holy Empire and the alliance has begun to deteriorate gradually, and I have heard that there have been small groups of crusaders of the Holy Empire on the border! Some people even say that the two sides have fought a fierce battle in private, which has caused the empire to suffer a lot of losses! However, the endless prairie is sandwiched between the two major forces, so those steppe people who have been begging for a living on the grassland for generations can no longer live in peace and stability as they did in previous years. They are like wolves by nature, but they don't care about what forces are not powerful, since the two families don't let them have a good time, then they will also bite the two sides fiercely! What's more, looting is far more profitable than raising animals! Seeing the interests of the prairie people, they will continue to join the ranks of the raiders!
Caron's mission was to exterminate a tribe of steppe people who had slaughtered an entire town the other day! This caused the wrath of the Presbyterian Church, and the next day Caron received an order to wipe out the tribe, and led his five thousand cavalry out of the city.
"Hmph, the eagle dogs of the steppe are not worth fearing at all, except for the harassment of the cavalry at a distance, these Tartars will not be able to withstand the two frontal charges of the cavalry! If this mission is completed beautifully, my status in the eyes of those old men in the military department who can reach the sky will definitely be further advanced! If I can get the title of major general because of this, then the military department will have a place for me in the future! Haha..." The more Caron thought about it, the happier he became, and he even hummed a minor tune. If it weren't for the 5,000 cavalry he brought out, it is estimated that the big-headed Caron would have galloped on his horse...
Roddy tugged on the reins of the horse, and the black steed raised its head high, only to see a group of figures slowly appearing on the side of the sun, and the front of the team flashed against the circle of light.
"Is the guy on the other side wearing a mirror?" said Roddy, smirking wickedly......
